Download Survey Data Provides Unique Market Insight on Propane Customers in Rural America
Washington, D.C. (March 16, 2007) – According to the U.S. Census, nearly 26 percent of all households, or 69 million people, now live in rural America, which is defined as residences not within an incorporated city, town, or village. Recognizing that this is a growing segment of the population, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) recently invested in a Rural Lifestyle Survey conducted by the National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) and Ag Media Research to learn more about "rural lifestyle residents." The research was also supported by the American Farm Bureau Federation and J.L. Farmakis Inc.
The NAFB Rural Lifestyle Survey data was collected through interviews with residents from 2,000 households in the 48 contiguous states that live in the rural lifestyle segment of the population defined by the U.S. Census. This subset of the population is much larger than the roughly 2 million farmers and ranchers measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in today's U.S. producer marketplace.
According to the survey, about 25 percent of these residents use propane for heating their homes or outbuildings. The survey also showed that as the number of acres owned increased, it was more likely that propane was being used on the property.
"The NAFB survey was valuable because it provided new insights on this growing segment of the population, how they use propane and the most effective ways to reach them," said PERC Director of Agriculture Programs Mark Leitman.
Through its sponsorship of the Rural Lifestyle Survey, PERC submitted questions on the specific uses of propane in rural America. The study found that the majority of respondents used propane for grilling (43 percent), hot water heaters (22 percent), torches for welding and repair work (7.6 percent), and generators (5.5 percent).
The survey also collected extensive data about the ownership of companion and livestock animals, plans to construct outbuildings, rural-based retailer preferences, and way-of-life information sources. A majority of the rural households surveyed live on three or more acres and raise companion horses and additional livestock, own tractors, and are active buyers of country-living products and services. More than 30 percent of those surveyed had plans to make major improvements to their home or outbuildings in the near future.
"The demographic and market data we have assembled substantiates this tremendous and very diverse segment of consumers," said Roger Olson of Rural Lifestyle Media (Hudson, WI), who worked with NAFB on the project. "This is not the farm market - this is a huge and varied consumer group that has its own needs, preferences, and interests. We are only discovering the tip of the iceberg."
Other key findings and insights from The NAFB Rural Lifestyle Report:
• Residents are not just in "C" and "D" counties as defined by U.S. Census household counts and metropolitan proximity (Nielsen Media), but are also on acreage in outlying "urban circles" within "A" and "B" counties.
• Stereotypes of low income, small market size, low employment, and limited disposable income - "myths of this market," says Olson - are unfounded; in fact, income level for many exceeds the U.S. Census median income of $44,684.
• Consumption of radio programming is strong, with 51 million rural lifestyle adults being frequent listeners, and there is a marked appetite for traditional agricultural news (including weather and markets).
A PowerPoint presentation on the results of the survey is available on PERC's agriculture website at www.agpropane.com or on PERC's Marketing Resource Center or MaRC (http://members.propanecouncil.org/assets/nafb-rural-lifestyle-report-2006/view).
PERC's vision in agriculture is that, by 2010, the agricultural industry will recognize propane as a preferred energy source offering exceptional value. This value is achieved through a unique combination of product benefits, including cost-effectiveness, efficiency and productivity, reliability, portability, and environmental friendliness.

TV: Fox Sports Tennessee (Dish: 440/HD: 9575; Direct TV: 644/HD: 644-1 ; Comcast Nashville 1675; Comcast Chattanooga/Cleveland/Knoxville 401; Comcast Memphis 830; Charter Nashville 33/810; AT&T Nashville 724/1724)
Radio: Preds Radio Network Flagship - 102.5-FM The Game Radio Network; Network Affiliates
Gabriel Bourque scored for the team-leading ninth time on Friday at Calgary, giving the second-year forward goals in a career-high three consecutive games. The Rimouski, Que., native has tallied five goals in his last seven outings to surpass his output from his rookie campaign in 2011-12 (seven goals in 43 games). Friday's goal was a power-play goal, moving Bourque into a tie for first in man-advantage markers. He is also the only Predator with multiple game-winning goals, and has Nashville's lone shorthanded marker on the year. Six of Bourque's nine goals have come on the road.
After having a four-game point streak snapped on Thursday at Vancouver, Shea Weber got back on the board with a power-play assist on Friday at Calgary, giving the Predators captain 14 points (4g-10a) in his last 15 games, including seven points (1g-6a) in his last six games. The Sicamous, B.C., native also led the team in ice time for the 22nd time this season on Friday (24:09), and ranks fourth in the NHL in total minutes played (717:45). Weber also ranks among the League's Top Five defensemen in shots (74), and among the Top 25 blueliners in hits (60) and blocked shots (55).
Four other Preds reached the scoresheet on Friday to extend point streaks:
- Matt Halischuk has registered points/assists in three consecutive games (1g-3a) since returning from a conditioning stint with the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals on Monday. His career long point streak is four games, while the three-game assist streak ties a personal best.
- David Legwand's goal at 17:41 of the third period on Friday extended his active point streak to five games (3g-3a), just one off of a career high. Prior to the current streak, he had registered two points (1g-1a) in his previous 10 outings.
- Nick Spaling extended his point streak to a career-high three games (2g-1a). Four of Spaling's five goals this season have come on the road.
- Mike Fisher scored for the second consecutive game at Calgary. He had two goals in 12 games prior to the Vancouver/Calgary tilts.
Nashville went one-for-two on the power play on Friday at Calgary, and is now 6-for-16 (37.5 percent) in its last five games after going 1-for-14 in the six games prior. The recent hot stretch has elevated the power play into the top half of the NHL.
TONIGHT'S STORYLINES vs. EDMONTON
The Nashville Predators visit Edmonton Oilers for the only time this season on Sunday, the second of three games between the Preds and Oilers in 2012-13; they will play again eight days from now in Nashville. In the season opener of the series on March 8, the Predators received a career-best four points (2g-2a) from Colin Wilson and a 24-save shutout from Pekka Rinne in a 6-0 victory at Bridgestone Arena. It was Nashville's largest margin of victory since Feb. 28, 2009 vs. Detroit (8-0).
Since the start of the 2006-07 season, Nashville is 18-6-1 against Edmonton, including a 9-2-1 mark at Rexall Place. Nashville won its last trip to Edmonton by a 2-1 score on Nov. 28, 2011 thanks to Nick Spaling's game winner at 12:21 of the third period.
Shea Weber tied a personal best with three assists the last time these teams met, and has six points (1g-5a) in his last four outings against the Oilers. Weber's .83 points per game against Edmonton for his career (8g-12a-20pts, 24gp) is tied with his output against Columbus for the highest against a single team… David Legwand also scored in the 2012-13 season opener of the series, and has seen more offensive success against Edmonton than any other non-divisional opponent (14g-20a-34pts, 45gp)… Patric Hornqvist has posted 11 points (7g-4a) in 14 career games vs. the Oilers, including a goal on March 8 before leaving due to injury… Martin Erat notched his first career hat trick, a natural hat trick, at Rexall Place on March 4, 2008, the second road hat trick in franchise history… The Oilers are one of four teams Chris Mason has a sub-2.00 goals-against average against. For his career, he is 5-1-2 with a 1.84 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage. .. Zach Boychuk scored in his Predators debut on March 8.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS vs. EDMONTON
Victor Bartley – Made his NHL debut on March 8, 2013 vs. Edmonton
Gabriel Bourque – A career-high two assists on March 20, 2012 vs. Edmonton
Zach Boychuk – Scored his first goal as a Predator on March 8, 2013 vs. Edmonton (Yann Danis)
Martin Erat – First career hat trick on March 4, 2008 at Edmonton
Scott Hannan – His most recent of 33 career goals on Feb. 21, 2012 vs. Edmonton (with Calgary)
LAST TIME OUT: Nashville 3 at Calgary 6
- Roman Josi recorded his third career multi-point game with a pair of assists. He also played 23:03, and has led the team in ice time in the six games that Weber has not. Josi's 2012-13 average ice time is up by more than four minutes from his rookie season (from 18:23 to 22:31).
- Craig Smith appeared in his 100th career NHL game. He has seven points (3g-4a) in his last 13 after recording one point/assist in his first 15 games of 2012-13.
- Chris Mueller made his season debut after being recalled from Milwaukee on Wednesday.
- Rich Clune finished with a minus rating (-1) for just the third time in his career. Clune ranks among the League's Top 20 in hits (76), and is tied for fourth in the NHL in fighting majors (7).
- Nashville found the back of the net in the second and third periods, meaning it has scored in nine of its last 10 regulation frames played.
- The Preds were outshot 22-20. They are now 7-7-4 when being outshot.
- The Predators were shorthanded three times. They rank among the League's Top 10 in fewest times shorthanded (93), and have posted the third-fewest penalty minutes per game in the League this season (10.8). The Preds led the League in the category in 2011-12 (8.4) and 2009-10 (8.7), and ranked second in 2010-11 (8.8).
- The Predators have gone to overtime or a shootout in 11 of their first 28 games in 2012-13, tied for the highest total in the League. They hold a 5-6 record in contests that go beyond 60 minutes, having posted a 3-1 record in the five-minute, four-on-four session, and 2-5 mark in shootouts. Last season, Nashville needed extra time on 16 occasions in 82 games, tied for the third fewest in the NHL. The Preds didn't go beyond 60 minutes for the 11th time in 2011-12 until game No. 54 on Feb. 7, 2012 vs. Vancouver.
- The Predators are currently without their leading point getter in 2012-13 (Colin Wilson, upper body), their leading goal scorer from two of the past three seasons (Patric Hornqvist, upper body), the League's third-best face-off man (Paul Gaustad, upper body), and the team's lone Stanley Cup winner and most veteran member (Hal Gill, lower body).

Calla Lily DIY Wedding Bouquet
Who said floral arrangements at your wedding have to be expensive? Calla lilies make beautiful bouquets. They are simple and elegant, and are really a low maintenance yet pretty flower to use for a wedding.
photo credit
Calla lilies make beautiful bridal bouquets. I really love their simplicity. The best part about the calla lilies is that you can totally make your own arrangements–even with no prior floral skills.
You can easily assemble a bouquet yourself!
Here's a DIY video of how to make a bouquet of calla lilies.
I can also help you out with a simple set of instructions. You'll notice that the supplies are basic and affordable, and this is something you can easily do with no muss or fuss.
Here's what you'll need to get started:
* 20 Calla lilies
* scissors
* floral snips
* satin ribbon in the color of your choice
Directions on How to Assemble Your Calla Lily Bouquet:
1. Put your calla lilies together in a bouquet. It doesn't have to be perfect–this type of bouquet is informal and still looks great. Snip the ends of the stems so they are the same length.
2. Tie your ribbon around the stems, starting at the neck of the base of the flowers. Wrap the ribbon around several times before tying the ends into knots. Trim ribbon ends into inverted "v" shapes for a finished look.
That's it! You of course can do variations of the ribbons or how you'd like to cover the stems.

Has that plan worked? It seems like HunterGatherer is your public-facing brand, while you say that your personal site is for more experimental stuff. But really, it's all you.
It's kind of evolved. When it first started, I put it all under HunterGatherer. The studio is still small but it was really small, so it made sense for it all to be there. Then it got bigger and things fit less well, so I broke it off a few years back. Initially, there was a lot more product, and I feel like it lurches over the years. For a few years, I might concentrate more on animation and not do as much product, and then it will switch back.
You just do your thing and it's automatic. Teaching forces you to articulate what you're doing, why, and how you're doing it.
Did you see yourself as a businessman?
I haven't ever though of myself quite that way, but inevitably that's a big part of what you do. You are running a business. But I also like that. I intentionally ended up with a studio where I come into work. I actually really like working with people. I wouldn't like it if it was just me doing my thing, and every few months I would put on a show. That really wouldn't be that much fun for me. It's designed in a way that works for me.
Does dealing with the non-creative side get frustrating?
Whenever we've done product stuff, in your head it's like you get the idea, you get it made, you sell it, and it's great. In reality, 5% is designing it and the rest is getting it made and dealing with logistics. It takes a lot of drive to get it done after that first little creative part is finished.
What stuff have you done recently that you're particularly jazzed about?
There have been a couple of animations that are coming out in a few months that have been fun. I actually have been gearing a lot more back toward products. There are a few projects I can't go into because they are not fleshed out, but basically, I've been working a lot more on product designs. Some are with other people, and some are on my own. It's about getting enough of those things to a point where we can put something together.
Will that be a store or a website?
Probably somewhere in between the two. There are a couple things right now that I'm working on with other people where they will have a hand in producing or something else. I'm also working on some other stuff that will be more handcrafted.
What's one way that the design world has changed in the past 10 years?
When I first started the studio, the idea of having something that was partially client and partially product-based seemed like a bit of a strange thing to do. I would have to explain it to people. I think now it's not strange to people.
Are you still teaching as a graduate critic at the Yale School of Art?
I'm not still doing it. I did it up until a year and a half or two years ago. I taught video and film to grad students. It was something that I never thought about doing, but that I fell into largely by accident. It was interesting. One thing that happens when you work with yourself is that you don't always have to articulate what you're thinking about. You just do your thing and it's automatic. Teaching forces you to articulate what you're doing, why, and how you're doing it. That was really good. You step back not just from what you're doing but what the whole world is doing.
Did that make you a better designer?
Yeah. It knocks you out of your rut. You have to be in a conversation.

And I made a rural pen, And I stained the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every Child may joy to hear.
William Blake (1757 - 1827)
Source: Songs of Innocence, 1789-90
Contributed by: Zaady
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe; And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruit and flowers.
Source: To Autumn, 1783
Winter Song The browns, the olives, and the yellows died, And were swept up to heaven; where they glowed Each dawn and set of sun till Christmastide, And when the land lay pale for them, pale-snowed, Fell back, and down the snow-drifts flamed and flowed. From off your face, into the winds of winter, The sun-brown and the summer-gold are blowing; But they shall gleam with spiritual glinter, When paler beauty on your brows falls snowing, And through those snows my looks shall be soft-going.
Wilfred Owen (1893 - 1918)
Source: Winter Song
He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.
W.H. Auden (1907 - 1973)
When music sounds, gone is the earth I know, And all her lovelier things even lovelier grow; Her flowers in vision flame, her forest trees Lift burdened branches, stilled with ecstasies. When music sounds, out of the water rise Naiads whose beauty dims my waking eyes, Rapt in strange dream burns each enchanted face, With solemn echoing stirs their dwelling-place. When music sounds, all that I was I am Ere to this haunt of brooding dust I came; And from Time's woods break into distant song The swift-winged hours, as I hasten along.
Walter de La Mare (1873 - 1956)
A Song of the good green grass! A song no more of the city streets; A song of farms - a song of the soil of fields. A song with the smell of sun-dried hay, where the nimble pitchers handle the pitch-fork; A song tasting of new wheat, and of fresh-husk'd maize.
Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)
In green old gardens, hidden away From sight of revel and sound of strife, Here I have leisure to breathe and move, And to do my work in a nobler way; To sing my songs, and to say my say; To Dream my dreams, and to love my love; To hold my faith, and to live my life. Making the most of its shadowy day.
Violet Fane (1843 - 1905)

A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.

Still in bloom-- California flowers dance to winter song.
Victor P. Gendrano
The nearer I approach the end, the clearer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is marvelous yet simple. For half a century I have been writing my thoughts in prose, verse, history, drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode and song - I have tried all; but I feel that I have not said a thousandth part of that which is in me. When I go down to the grave I can say like many others, "I have finished my day's work" but I cannot say, "I have finished my life's work"; my day's work will begin the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley. It is an open thoroughfare. It closes in the twilight to open in the dawn. My work is only beginning; my work is hardly above its foundation. I would gladly see it mounting forever. The thirst for the infinite proves infinity.

Hi, I recently rescued a siamese kitten. He is only about 8-10 weeks old. He was extremely thin, and probably malnourished. His stool is a dark gray color, and feels like clay. I am thinking that he was probably eating litter or something. I have been feeding him homemade cat food and he now is using natural cat litter. He still is pooping dark gray though. Is there any suggestions on medication, enemas, etc etc that i can do? I have been feeding him natural pumpkin (since that gives him fiber & softens the stool). He is very playful, and alert. He doesnt know he is sick, and he has a big appetite I just dont want him to die or anything. He's my baby boy.
I will be taking him to the vet as soon as i can but my financial situation is a little rough at the moment and i dont know any affordable vets.
Thanks or the advice!

The fifth annual Randolph County Student Art Exhibit and third annual Musical Showcase kicked off the start of Youth Art Month at the Randolph County Community Arts Center on March 8. These annual events are sponsored by the Snowshoe Foundation and the Randolph County Community Arts Center.
Youth Art Month is a national celebration of student art that began in 1961 and is observed each March to emphasize the value of art and art education for all children and to encourage public support for quality school art programs.

a Life?
How do you balance your life with the haunted house/company? I find it almost impossible to shut down my brain. Any suggestions??
Peter T
I'm a little confused what your asking here Peter. The company part kinda tossed me off. Or are you basically asking what do we do in the off season ?
Allen H
matter cannot exist in two places at the same time, nor can two pieces of matter occupy the same space. Luckily thoughts can overlap. I think about haunted houses all the time. It is a blessing to be able to walk through the grocery store and see something that allows you to learn something about haunting. My brain is different than most I suppose, and My job is haunting year round.
Whatever you do in your day to day job has implications in the haunt world, dont day dream about haunting while your at work, work to become a better haunter. It almost doesent matter what you do for a living, the better you are at it the more it helps your haunt.
I have a rule that I do stuff, I dont plan stuff. I know poeple who will sit for hours and hours and sketch and make notes and plan haunt things that they never do. Instead of planning...DO. Tonight o home and make a paper mache skull, or replace the lightswitch in your bedroom with a dimmer switch, both of those things help you in haunting. Look for things to do that are haunt related but only by task. Knowing electrical is huge, so get to know it.
Do things that help your haunt by teaching you skill you will use on it one day. Or...make a prop a week, it could be repainting a plastic garbage can to look metal butit is one prop and you learned the skill of drybrushing to do it.
Muyoto Musashi said "From one thing know a thousand things" the drybrushing skill you learned for that project can be used in thousands of projects, so can wiring, a knowledge of paper mache makes it easier to learn fiberglass...ya da ya da ya. There are a million things to learn and do. Planing things that will never happen waste time, so make one simple plan, DO IT, then make another plan and do that.
I ramble, but If you can weed through it I hope I make sense. While at work, work. Just dont forget that some of the skills you learn/use there can help you at haunt.
Allen H
Sorry I didnt mean with the haunted house and a company. I meant them as one in the same. Im a newly wed so I dont want her to go running for the hillz caus eI keep talking about haunt stuff ha ha. Ive been keeping a small note book when ideas pop in. Ive been keeping busy with christmas shows. Converting some halloween props into happy friendly holiday cheer. Thanks for the tips. Have a great night!
I agree with Allen, I'm a lot like him and when I grow up I want to be just like him. Its either that or I kill Allen and wear his skin so I can pretend to be him... Its all part of the plan.
Unfortunately unlike him I don't get to do much or put my hands on even my own projects. Like you I keep a book in my satual bag and it is FILLED with ideas. You put me in a haunted house with the music going in the background, screams filling the rooms and I just explode. I draw every thing, make notes, wright storyboards, and then I just keep going. And then the doors are closed and I'm in the real world. It sucks...
I don't have the proper room to practice sculpting the way I want so I practice on smaller molding models. Then destroy them and start again. I rent a room at my friends and though I love it and its super cheep, I have no room. Again it sucks..
As for my ideas you can see me on the forums giving them away to people that I know can or will use them. Nothing makes me more happy when they show me my creations in brought to life in photograph and knowing that some one is enjoying them.
I hope this helped, if not, keep talking to us, trust me when I saw, we will talk back to you!
Mr. Haunt
I have just tied the knott as well so congrarts!!! My wife is not a big Halloween person, but over the last 3 years of being together, it's rubbing off LOL!!!
I also have the same issue you have, always thinking.....thinking.....thinking..... and my wife will say "Halloween is over". Or she gets upset if I spend to much time on Halloween stuff and not on her......Then she starts talking Christmas cause she LOVES it.
Best thing to do, do your Halloween stuff when she's not home like me....my wifes at work so this is what I'm doing!!!
Mr. Haunt
Jim Warfield
Where do those creative, unusual thoughts emminate from? Sometimes I would just make something, not knowing why or what I was going to do with it? Then 6 months or 2 years later in the middle of a new project/idea, I would pull the item out into the light of day and I'm off and running, having that strange head, artifact, made it all go quicker!
I would walk up long stairs at an antique mall down the road and I kept looking at an old, greasy, junk chainsaw they had for sale (Along with a million other things there)
I finally decided to spend $75 and buy the saw and was informed the price was now only $45?
degreasing and painting it was not a quick task, neither was making a frame, machining a Chevy Citation axle down or creating the rest of the over-sized tryke but it looked spiffy all painted red and white like a kid's trike from 1950.
The chainsaw is also from 1950-ish, a two-man model with handbars (like a bike) built into the saw, so the saw's handlebars are the tryke's handlebars with the very long chainsaw blade sticking way out infront.
I spent al lday running new circuits across the house for the kitchen . My Wife made a deal, she would wash dishes if I cleaned cat boxes. Tommorrow I hook up our new dishwasher (first time I ever owned one)
Now I have to probably build a cat box cleaning machine for myself..which might take some time and testing..I have plently of test pilots, I guess they are actually "Bombadiers", not "Pilots".
Hey Jim,
I have two cats, (raised them since they were about a week old) dont get the littler maid. It broke in a week. POS!!
I wish everyone the best with this issue. My wife is def turning into a Halloween person which is great but not a lot of people understand the madness that comes with it all. Been looking for a permanent location to purchase for the haunt so that takes up a lot of my time after work. I dont know if I should get land to build on with 5+ acres or a building with parking but no where to grow??
Any advice..
I haven't figured this one out yet. By the way I have small kids in the mix. It has been very challenging. Lots of "disagreements"
wish you the best. I dont know how people run companies with young kids in the mix. I dont know if I could take on that much. Kudos to you and anyone else in the same situation.
I personally realize that I connect better with the younger ones for some reason because I guess I act like a big kid. Hell my best friend says I have the sense of humor of a ten year old. If you fart around me I will laugh, I don't care where we are.
An I actually do have social problems because of my mind set. I was talking to some on in text messages and they brought some thing up that was concerning there haunt. Well when they did this I guess it opened my flood gate they didn't want to put up with. Its hard for me some times to remember that other people don't think like me, they don't live in perpetual Halloween land. While there putting up Christmas light on there house I'm thinking of how can i use that in a haunted house.
An I have to put myself on other projects and stay busy when I'm in this mode. I'm also very lucky that I have met some very cool people in Shreveport that I'm glad to call my friends. We have big movie business coming in this area and they allow me to help with there design projects. Some people say I shouldn't do this because there "using me" because I don't get credit for my work. I don't care because I need a creative outlet.
When I was stepped away from the Halloween industry 2006-2009 I worked on web comics.
I hope your able to look at this and go wow, at least I'm not that bad. Even though I'm pretty happy with my life. Just want a a bigger work area...
Jim Warfield
Asked the A) Teacher B) PSychologist C) Preacher.
"Well , I sure don't see the thing in the dot picture that everyone else in the class sees."
"Ink blot"? No, it's a cooking kettle , there's the fire whipping around under it, there is the man in the pot, there are the two Ubangi natives with plates in their lips stewing him."
"WHAT!!?" His head spins around to look at this ink blot.
"Nobody has ever seen that before!"
I take my finger and point to each item as I see it in the ink blot.
"You are right!" He says.
"Skulls mean Death." Said the Baptist preacher, former artist and art gallery employee.
"So you shouldn't use such an image, it also means "Poison". (I know)
"Without a skull our heads would be the original floppy-discs, mush, jello, I propose to you that God created our skulls to make is non-jellyfish and be able to handle solid earth's gravity better, and it's really quite a magnificient design."-Jim said.
Someone threw a rubbery nose/bumper piece to a small Chrysler car in my yard..I "see" a large shark mouth, surrounded by two squinty eyes.
Wal-Mart sold a $1.75 black plastic Witches kerttle...which to me looks like an old-style deep-sea diver's round steel helmet......so it begins.
Put these two together............
Of course to feel like you are worth anything, you must turn off the brain from creating new "What-Ifs' and actually put things together physically...once & awhile.

Strip It: Alabama Book Store's Fight
Published: Thursday, February 8, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 7, 2007 at 12:48 p.m.
The University has bought property on the strip which includes the Alabama Book Store located on 1015 University Blvd to provide land to accommodate the growing university. UA will get rid of the 70-year-old antique building to build an off campus parking deck. The owners are father and son David Jones and David Jones, Jr. They are against the decision that the University has made.
Photo Galleries
Its not the whole strip they want to take out. They want to take out my business who competes with the Supply Store, Jones said.
Its nothing but numbers. Theyll have more land and eventually more money. Thats all they care about, said Jones, Jr.
This will be the second private book store they have removed, said Jones.
The University has also revealed plans to buy buildings on Paul W. Bryant Drive that includes The College Store, another off campus book store.
Tiffany Brown, a junior majoring in advertising and public relations said that the Universitys plans to replace the Alabama Book Store with a parking deck is a competition issue.
Its healthy competition. Its not like that one book store is going to make the University bankrupt, Brown said. As much as UA talks about tradition and family, how are you going to put a family owned business out of business?
Many students have mixed feelings about the issue. Tracey Mitchell, a graduating senior majoring in English said that she has a bittersweet feeling about it.
I complain that there should be more parking for students that are close to classes. But at the same time knocking down traditions still will not take care of the issue, as the strip is a pretty far distance to walk to get to class, Mitchell said.
Quadir Sudana, a junior majoring political science, said that even though he doesnt agree with the Universitys decision to replace the Alabama Book Store with a parking deck, he can see their perspective.
On the business side, it only makes sense to try and obliterate your competition. That establishment is a direct competitor to the Supe Store. Why wouldnt the powers at be not exercise the power to boot them out? So, it depends on how you think about it,Sudana said.
Competition isnt the only thing that will be lost when the Alabama Book Store disappears from its original location on the strip. The city will be losing a piece of its history. The building that houses the Alabama Book Store has been on the strip since 1938.
We dont think a parking deck would be very attractive. Our building is very old. It has some architectural beauty, Jones said.
A building that has been standing for numerous decades has seen many key moments in history. The Alabama Book Store has witnessed the many evolutions of the neighboring university and the development of the city of Tuscaloosa.
Closing that business would be like erasing a piece of Tuscaloosas past. To be that old and still in operation means something to people, Sudana said.
The strip has changed throughout the years before it has become the strip that Tuscaloosa residents and UA students know and love today. Frequently visited hot spots that will be affected by the Universitys purchase also include the Campus Party Store, El Rincon Mexican Restaurant, Cheap Shots, and Buffalo Phils Wings.
Ive seen it [the strip] go up and seen it go down. Right now there is a good mix of businesses. There are not too many bars. The kids need something thats close by to be entertained, said Jones.
The Alabama Book Store has been a family owned operation for three generations. The vanishing of the book store will cause a void for the students at the University.
I think a book store is very important to the educational process,Jones said.
David Jones, Jr created a web site called savethestrip.com, which increases the awareness of the plans for the strip and lets the public know what they can do to help. There are also numerous groups on The Facebook in favor of saving the strip.
It lowers my sense of trust in the University to see that they would tear down relationships and buildings of the city of Tuscaloosa, said Tracey Mitchell. I wonder how business owners and actual citizens feel.
The feelings of the owners of the Alabama Book Store are pretty evident.
I dont think my tax money should be used to take out my business, Jones said.

A Third Window: Natural Life beyond Newton and Darwin
Author: Robert E. Ulanowicz
Publisher: Templeton Press
Publication Date: 2009-04-01
Paperback: 224 Pages
Thus far, the dominant paradigms through which modern scientists have viewed nature have been structured primarily around Newtonian and Darwinian approaches. As theoretical ecologist Robert E. Ulanowicz observes in his new work, A Third Window, neither of these models is sufficient for explaining how real change—in the form of creative advance or emergence—takes place in nature.The metaphysical foundations laid by these great thinkers centuries ago are ill suited to sustain today's search for a comprehensive description of complex living systems. Ecosystem dynamics, for example, violate each and every one of the Newtonian presuppositions. Hence, Ulanowicz offers his titular "third window"—a new way of understanding evolution and other natural processes beyond the common mechanistic or materialistic philosophies of nature. Drawing on the writings of Walter Elsasser, Karl Popper, Gregory Bateson, Robert Rosen, and Alfred North Whitehead, as well as his own experience as a theoretical ecologist, Ulanowicz offers a new set of axioms for how nature behaves. Chance and disarray in natural processes are shown to be necessary conditions for real change. Randomness is shown to contribute richness and autonomy to the natural world.The metaphysical implications of these new axioms will lend A Third Window a wide appeal not only among scientists, but also among philosophers, theologians, and general readers who follow the science and religion dialogue. Ulanowicz's fresh perspective adds a new voice to the discussion.

Kay, damphy, etc. I am passionate about fandom and love everything from classic literature to comic books to Pokemon, and have been described as 'quirky' on more than one occasion. Yes, my hair really is purple, and has been for roughly eight years now.
I have dipped my toe into various industry waters, including reality TV and comic books, and am a two time San Diego Comic-Con panelist. I became a volunteer for deviantART in 2004, and did everything from moderating chat rooms to directing galleries. In 2006, I officially joined core staff as a member of CEA. I always enjoy a challenge and am often found geeking out over various shows, movies, books and games. I love art and artists and genuinely adore all the amazing and sometimes odd creations my job exposes me to on a daily basis.
Be good to each other!

Anyone using this audio device and driver configuration? I'm having trouble
getting sound to work. Its a new machine that I built, everything else is
working perfectly except sound. What I need is to compare the modprobe.conf

this driver.
Thanks ahead of time.

Case File: Atlas vs. Perseus
Police Reports
Case Description: Complainant (Atlas) accuses defendant (Perseus) of assault with a deadly weapon. Atlas claims that when he refused to give Perseus shelter, the hero used Medusa's head to turn him to stone (making him what is now known as Mt. Atlas).
Case Status: Case closed. The claim is ridiculous. Perseus was the great grandfather of Heracles, and everybody knows about the conflict that later happened between Atlas and Heracles. The case of Atlas vs. Heracles could never have happened if Atlas had been turned to stone years earlier. Also, how could a mountain file a lawsuit anyway?

We've been keeping very busy with reading, writing, math, art, and wellness activities. We've also made sure to keep all activities in line with the students' current classwork in order to build on the skills they develop during their school day. We hope you have just as much fun checking out our most recent adventures as we had doing them!
A.S.P. kids added their names to the gold coins since they are as good as gold!
Will's idea of what germs look like. This was one of our art activities during the first week of March!
Mikayla, Chloe, and TJ enjoyed playing in the snow after the district received 16" on February 29th!
Kennedy was making snowballs... for an igloo, not for throwing! :)
Luckily, the playground wasn't at all icy so Clara and TJ could hang out on the equipment.
Some students decided to play mummies in their newly-constructed snow fort!

Where is Sailing Pleasure Boat Industry?
Pleasure Boat Market in Europe in 2015 can be characterized by the word - stabilization. In terms of quantity, 18.072 boats were sold in sizes from 26 to 80 ft. (7,8m – 24,5m) and the total value for 2015 was at EUR 2.989,6 million. Forecast for 2016 shows rather growth of 2.3% in terms of value, but still very little (0.9%) growth in quantity. Situation Worldwide is slightly better, where China is still driving demand, but 20%+ growth in quantity is rather past, (2015-2016 at 10.1%) however, it is still in numbers which are almost unimaginable for European Markets.
Germany as the Leader in Europe
The USA is the largest single market Worldwide with 28.169 Pleasure Boats Sold in 2015. Pleasure boat market here was not hit as hard as the one in Europe or Brazil per se, but stayed rather stable even with small growth. In Europe, the largest and strongest region in both – value and quantity is Germany, covering 18.5% in terms of value. In Europe, it is followed by UK, France, Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) and Italy, which after years of decrease covers only 10.5%, but for example, in 2009, Italian market was No.1 with 16.7% share.
Most of the Sales in the Smallest Segment
The author in order to offer detailed and valuable information to professionals and businesses in Boat Industry split the study among following categories in terms of length – 26 - 32 ft.; 33 - 36 ft.; 37 - 42 ft.; 43 - 50 ft.; 51 - 60 ft. & 61 - 80 ft. and even further with distinction of motor and sail boats. The typical sale of the boat is in category of 26 - 32 ft. and the boat is motor. In Europe, out of all boats sold, 49 % in terms of quantity are in this smallest segment. On the other hand, large sailing boats – 61 - 80ft. are sold very rarely, the market for this category in most of the regions is in single digits of new sales per year. Overall, the market ratio in Europe between the motor and sailing boats is 64.3% to 35.7% in favour of motor boats. The trend is also set, as it is expected that the share out of all sold boats will slightly increase towards motor ones.
Performance Variations Emerged With Ability to Handle Crisis
The worst situation by far in terms of development was recorded in Brazil. In late of 2008, all eyes, including the one from Boating industry were at countries of BRICS. However, the development after was a big disappointment. The market drop by almost 50% over this period and in 2016, when the bottom is expected, it is forecasted to sell in terms of quantity only 1.544 boats, which is far away from Brazil's potential. In Europe, similar development was recorded in Italy where in season of 2008-2009 sales were reaching way above 3.300 pleasure boats and then the drop continues until today. However, it is expected that in 2017, Italian market will experience some stabilization and very fragile growth (1.0% in 2017) will kick in.
Where Are Winds Blowing
Indisputably, the past few years were quite dramatic in most of the markets for the Boat Industry. The author, however predicts not rapid, but still improvement of this situation. Total market in 2018 in terms of value is expected at 3.3 billion euros and all markets outside of Europe are expecting increase as well.
Expert Opinions also confirm forecast, where for example in China for next 12 months, 86.7% of the experts do not expect decline of the market. The most of the negativism comes from France, where 60.6% of respondents expects worsening of the situation in next 12 months, but this rate drops to 37.3% in respect of 36 month period. To conclude, for overall market, the "worst stormy winds" seems gone, but we haven't reached "good winds and streams" quite yet.

How To Get Free Blog Traffic
This is the second post in my series of SEO Alternatives. Today I am going to talk about how to get free blog traffic. If you don't have a blog I recommend you start one now. Preferably with WordPress.
One method of building backlinks for SEO purposes to to comment on other blogs, but if you think about the way you do this you can bring in some great traffic through these links, the technique I am going to show you is called "Blog Hopping"
If you have ever left a comment on my blog you will notice I use a free plug-in called CommentLuv. This really helps with traffic when leaving comments on other blogs with this plug-in. Normally when you leave a comment on a blog you leave your name and a link to your own blog, the anchor text is your name. If you try and add a keyword as your name you risk having your comment being deleted as spam. But with Commentluv there is an extra link to your latest blog post and the anchor text is the title of your post. People reading your comment are much more likely to click on an attention grabbing post title than your name so you will get a lot more traffic from posing on a blog using CommentLuv than on blogs with out this plug-in.
How Do You Find Suitable Blogs To Comment On?
The best types of blogs to comment on are ones with an audience that would be interested in your blog. Once you have found a relevant blog that uses CommentLuv check through their posts and see how many comments they get on each post, the more the better. Ideally you want to be one of the first people to comment on a new post. This means that everyone that reads the post will
see your comment and read the title of your latest blog post.
When you have done you first comment, go back to previous posts and look at all the comments. You can click trough to the blogs of other bloggers knowing that they use CommentLuv on their blogs so you can leave comments on their blogs and get more links.
After you have been hopping from blog to blog leaving comments you should start to receive comments on your own blog. Make sure you respond to each comment and then visit the commentors blog and leave a comment on their blog.
You will soon find that you are receiving traffic from many other blogs. Make sure you go blog hopping when ever your create a new post on your own blog.
How To Find CommentLuv Blogs
To find other blogs to comment on to start with or if you run out of blogs to hop to search on Google for relevant blogs that use commentLuv. CommentLuv have a search facility on their website. You need to signup but it is free.
You can also try searching for your keyword + a footprint.
For example
"your keyword" +"CommentLuv is enabled"
"your keyword" +"YourName@YourKeywords" (Finds blogs using KeywordLuv)
Try www.dropmylink.com which will find KeywordLuv and Premium CommentLuv blogs.
Why not leave a comment for me below and get a link back to your blog.
Happy blog hopping.

I've been looking everywhere for info about this and couldn't find anything (beyond the standard whining), so I'm asking. Any news on agony resistance for pets? I just reached level 10 fractals, and I notice that my pets have a stat for agony resistance, but they don't get mine (I have 5% now). Every other boost in stats comes from either an activated skill or set traits, so is there a new trait we'll get? A new skill? Does the option simply not exist yet, or are they supposed to get the ranger's resistance and it's not transferring due to a bug/oversight?
I hope it's not a trait or skill, as that would be asinine. Instead, I keep wondering if maybe it's intended for the pet to have the ranger's resistance (which makes sense), and will be fixed in a future patch. In that case, the game could check the resistance every time pets are swapped, or in new maps.
That's what I hope will happen soon, because without some agony resistance, pets are going to be a real problem from 10 onward. (It should be noted I never have a problem with pet survivability in other dungeons or even lower fractals, so please don't insert whining about pets sucking--they don't, and neither does the profession. It's just the agony, there's no way of protecting an AI against that, esp if you can't give them resistance.)
For that matter, does other allied AI, like an elementalist's summons, the necromancer minions, ect, also suffer agony? If so, at least rangers can control their AI allies, so I suppose there is that...
Pet Agony Resistance?

By: Ralph Epifanio
Trading off a shorter than usual trip (to Daytona) with a particularly early starting time (7:20 for men, and 8:00 for women), the Stetson Cross Country Team traveled to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University for what has become a regular sign of Autumn for them: The ASICS Classic.
In any given year the Embry Riddle course is arguably one of the, if not the, most difficult courses in the state. With constantly changing (and challenging!) footing, it is impossible to settle into anything that remotely resembles a running rhythm. This year, unfortunately due to construction, the course had to be modified into a three loop for men (8K, or 4.98 miles) / two loop for women (5K, or 3.1 miles) configuration that "ate up" well over a minute of the runners' hard-earned training progress.
Undeterred by the course's hills, sand, and sinuous course,Maria Harper was Stetson's top performer. Finishing ninth overall, and eighth in team scoring, her 20:39.15 was faster than that of 45 other college and post- college runners in the field.
"I ran it last year, and it was difficult. Basically, in the past, there was a very steep hill, and then the course went into the woods on a sandy, winding trail with some uneven terrain. That's what made it so difficult. (Before the race) I saw a map of the course and thought it would be flat, and a lot easier. But it didn't turn out that way."
With so much construction being done on their athletic fields, race organizers were forced to run more miles on asphalt surfaces than they might have liked. The question was: could this still be considered "cross country?"
"It definitely was cross country by definition," she concluded. "It covered every terrain possible. It went from hills and sand-which put a strain on your legs-to the down hills, where your legs went out from under you. Then you hit the flat, where you had to speed up. So it was difficult to switch gears.
"We only did two loops, so it wasn't too bad. Generally, I don't like loops, but because it was such a varied course it allowed me to run the second loop smarter."
Sprinter-turned-distance runner Shannon Harrell turned in another fine performance (22nd in 23:26.48). Newcomer Alyssa Thompson (two places back in 23:48), Stephanie Bird (26th in 23:51.45), and Kate Matthews (30th in 24:48.71) rounded out the top-five scoring for the women. Stetson finished fifth among the six teams.
For the men, the tandem team of Andrew Epifanio (24th in 29:47.96) and Kyle Burton (26th in 29:59.27) led the Hatters. Kyle, especially, ran an outstanding race, staying in almost constant contact with his daily training partner, and-being the more experienced runner-- helping Andrew maintain his focus on what is probably the latter's least favorite course. (Epifanio ran the 5K version of this race more than once while a member of his Deland High School cross country team.)
Kyle described the course from his perspective: "From the standpoint of changing the course, I didn't mind the loops, but didn't like the sand hill. I don't think I've ever been that close to walking in a race.
"There was also a different turn (than last year) coming out of the baseball field that was interesting, especially in the first loop. (At that time) you didn't know it was going to be a u-turn and it almost made you stop."
Kyle, busy as he was navigating the course, was still not too busy to notice, and later compliment the performances of two of his team mates.
"Both Peter Davis and Deryck Greene ran really well. Placement (in respect to other runners) was a major thing, and Peter moved up a place on the team. Both had a pretty good day."
In addition, Deryck-and also Alex Kempinski--actually ran faster at Embry Riddle than at the UF (Bostick Golf) course, a faster course by far.
Peter Davis (41st in 32:18.94; third team finisher) is steadily closing the gap between himself and the team leaders, a gap that may shrink further in the coming weeks, as two of the fastest courses on the schedule-FLIX and the Hatter Invitational-approach. Brian Dughi (44th in 33:08.83) and Ryan Becker (47th in 33:39.15) were the fourth and fifth Stetson finishers, so they placed for the team as scorers. Stetson was fifth of eight teams.
This will be a short training week for these runners. Next Friday, October 1st, is the flrunners.com invitational at Titusville, perhaps the fastest course on the schedule. Both men and women compete at the same 5K distance.
