Lemon Andersen:
Please don't take my Air Jordans
Would you kill for a pair of Air Jordans? Lemon Andersen spins a tale of someone who did, reciting a poem by Reg E. Gaines. These verses taught Lemon that poetry could be about more than self-expression, and could sound like music when given rhythm and infused with the grit of the New York streets around him.

the light that indicates which way you are going to turn while driving....a lever to left of the steering wheel is raised or lowered to start the flashing of the light
Most drivers these days are not aware that their cars come equipped with turn signals, or they are just too "busy" to use them- they expect other drivers to be psychic and figure out what exactly they are doing- it is infuriating!!!!!

A mythical object, believed to be found inside automobiles in or around Philadelphia.
If only there was a way to signal this turn so the person behind me knows what my intentions are. Oh well I'm from philly and wouldn't use a turn signal anyway.
by Coooolringi February 24, 2014
With reference to the first definition about the turn signal being on the left. Of course, in England and Australia for example, which have right hand drive, the signal lever is on the right. I know from having experience.
by Panchoman Jr. November 10, 2006
An indication between two individuals making love indicating that it is time to change to new positions. After awhile, the turn signal often becomes just a silent indication...
My girl and I have been together long enough that when we make love, just a subtle movement is all that's needed as a turn signal.

text: I just got a 2003 Silverado and note there is no compass in the rear view mirror and I have freinds with them. The mirror has a power cord run to it and appears to be identical to plugs the compass mirror has on my friends Chevy. Can I just go to salvage yard and obtain a compass mirror and do a swap out or is there other issues to be considered? My gut feeling is the same wiring harness is in all the Silverados as it would make sense from a engineering and assembly standpoint on the line. Hopefully someone can give a definitive answer on this as I would love a compass mirror. Is there more than one variation of these?

Hi ya'll!
It's been a while since i've been around. Finals have had me running ragged. I've started on my vest and would like some opinions on it.
during Thanksgiving I managed to aqquire one of the most beautiful pieces of leather I have ever seen. The metallic green/bronze lambskin here.
Unfortunatly I did not have enough of it to make an entire vest. So I ordered another skin off ebay. It was quite a different shade of bronze from the original.
I've decided to try and work with this problem. I've come up with a few sketches of some vests that I hope would work. Any opinions and suggestions are more than welcome
Vest number one
Vest number two
Vest number three
Which one do ya'll like best? any other ideas? Thanks in advance

When an organization has been compromised, some of the first questions to ask are critical:
•Which systems can I trust?
•What was done to compromise my systems or data?
•How quickly can I figure out where I stand?
Tripwire is often called in after the fact to help answer these questions, even if the breached organization was not monitoring their systems with Tripwire technology. The following summary provides an overview of the approach we take to restore trust after a breach for enterprises who had not previously implemented Tripwire solutions.

Nisswa: 2013 tax levy increases 2.99 percent from 2012
The Nisswa City Council earlier this month approved the preliminary tax levy and budget for 2013 that was set in September.
The general revenue tax levy is $1,847,652, an increase of $55,269 from the 2012 levy, or about 2.99 percent.
The increase is attributed to road project costs and planned capital improvements for the Nisswa Community Center and adjoining Nisswa City Park, as well as a public restroom facility along the Paul Bunyan Trail.
A $200,000 annual tax levy for road projects in 2010 and 2011 increased to $260,000 per year starting this year to go toward paying the $1.5 million general obligation street reconstruction bond for the city's portions of the future pedestrian tunnel, Highway 371 and County Road 18 projects, as well as other future road projects.
Public restroom/
chamber building
At its regular monthly meeting Wednesday, Dec. 19, the council agreed to pay engineering firm Widseth, Smith, Nolting $36,740 to design a building on Main Street in downtown Nisswa that would include public restrooms and, possibly, an office for the Nisswa Chamber of Commerce.
The council earlier this month agreed to pursue the design phase to obtain firmer, more detailed cost estimates for such a building. The council is debating whether to include a chamber office as part of the public restroom facility.
The council is considering a 10- or 15-year, $500,000-$700,000 abatement bond in 2013 to pay for improvements at Nisswa City Park and the Nisswa Community Center, as well as to build the new public restroom facility at the site of the current facility on the Paul Bunyan Trail downtown.
Planning and zoning
The council learned that the Planning Commission will meet at 9 a.m. the second Tuesday of the month in 2013, rather than on a Monday.
Permit activity was up this year at 92 permits issued, including 10 new homes, compared to 58 permits issued a year ago. Overall valuation is $4.9 million in 2012, compared to $2.3 million in 2011.
Public safety
Nisswa police in November reported 14 agency assists, 152 calls for service, 19 traffic citations, 55 warnings, one arrest and 11 alarms.
Firefighters recently responded to a car fire, a brush fire and a structure fire, as well as a call about a missing hunter.
Fire chief Richard Geike will remain chief. Tim Holmes is assistant chief, and Shawn Bailey and Doug Buehl are captains. The department will have a third captain as well. The council approved these appointments.
Geike reported the Nisswa-Lake Shore Area First Responder numbers have fallen to seven, including five firefighters. So the fire department will take over those duties and will respond to medical calls, Geike said. New firefighters will be required to be able to respond to medical calls.
He said this will cost money, about $20,000 per year. The First Responders group does have some money from area city contributions.

The Five Best "Call Me Maybe" Lip-Syncs!
Even if you aren't into zombie movies, there are three reasons why you'll love Warm Bodies:
1. The main character, R, is played by Jennifer Lawrence's ex, Nicholas Hoult. Even as a zombie, he's still hotter than most human guys we know IRL. Bonus eye-candy: Dave Franco is another main character!
2. It's actually hilarious. Like, seriously.
3. You can bring a guy. There's a romance plot-line, but it's about zombies—totally not girly.
Keep reading to see what Teresa Palmer told us at the red carpet premiere!
Seventeen: You got to hang out with Nicholas Hoult and Dave Franco while filming this movie. What are they like in real life?"
Teresa Palmer: Dave Franco asks the most original, thought-provoking questions about your life—they really make you think! He remembers everything, too. He's hilariously funny and very down-to-earth. Nicholas Hoult is humble, sweet, quiet, and hilarious. He's a really talented actor. He didn't get to express himself very much verbally in Warm Bodies, but his facial expressions as his character are fantastic. His own spirit is very much injected into this role.

Last Modified: Saturday, November 17, 2012 9:24 PM
By Eric Cormier / American Press
Since September 2010, an eight-person board has been preparing for the day when the state Department of Health and Hospitals gives it control over the way behavioral health and developmental disabilities services are provided in the five-parish area.
The board — the Imperial Calcasieu Human Service Authority — is one of several across the state, all the result of a 2008 law passed by the state Legislature.
Tanya McGee, the agency's executive director, said the new approach to managing health services will benefit the community. "We are turning our programs to tailor-fit our local needs," she said.
The new agency will bring under one roof the DHH offices that oversee addictive disorders, mental health and residents with disabilities. The budget for the new agency — with its 100 workers — will be about $13 million.
McGee said all of the employees are state workers and will remain that way. "State buildings where services are given will remain the same. There will be state civil service staff. The only thing that changes is that the control will be local," she said.
Board members who will oversee the agency: chairman, Douglas L. Hebert Jr. (Allen Parish); vice chairman, Susan Dupont (Cameron Parish); secretary, Sandra Gay (Calcasieu Parish); Patricia Farris (Beauregard Parish); Christina Mehal (Jefferson Davis Parish); and governor's appointees David Palay, Shawn Sabelhaus and Clarence Stewart, treasurer.
Palay said board members have a serious responsibility.
"We are responsible to the community. This way of managing services takes levels of government out."
McGee said the decisions on programing and funding that are normally made by a bureaucrat in Baton Rouge, will now have an exclusive local perspective.
The agency is preparing for July 2013 when DHH will relinquish full control over behavior health and developmental disabilities services employees and money.
"As our own legal entity we will also be able to obtain funds from other sources through grants and partnerships," McGee said. "People need to understand, our same core services provided through DHH in past years will remain the same."
DHH's Region 5 Offices of Behavioral Health and Citizens with Developmental Disabilities has managed the services for years. Last year, the behavioral health unit served 19,980 people, while 2,203 people with developmental disabilities were served.
Board meetings are held the third Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. in the authority's offices at 3505 Fifth Ave., Suite B.
"We can deal with people that are lost and forgotten. Our work can save a life and family. All of those things build a stronger community," Palay said. "We will demonstrate what can be done with a great idea like this board."
Posted By: wayne On: 11/18/2012
Title: State Funds
Sounds like almost three years people on this board have been drawing salaries to think about doing a job, must be nice, when I worked for the state I actually had to do a job to get my salary, and then my position was done away with, now I know who's drawing my salary, don't think civil service will protect your job either, when they decide to do away with your position, because it want!!! Ask the Phelps Correctional employees too!!!!

Permanent link: [Article]-Book Review: The Tangled Web
Review by Tristan Lawson, CISSP, MCSE: Security, GCIH, OSCP et al
Michal Zalewski, author of 2005's highly praised Silence on the Wire, is at it again with "The Tangled Web: A Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications," an incredible and highly technical book published by No Starch Press. Since the browser is the portal of choice for so many users, its inherent security flaws leave the user at a significant risk. This book details the issues surrounding insecure web browsers and what developers can do to mitigate those risks.
Mr. Zalewski writes about modern web applications which are built within a tangled mess of technologies, developed over time and then slapped together into a confusing monstrosity. This in turn leads to inconsistent operation with all kinds of vulnerabilities at several levels. The author goes into great detail taking apart every level of web applications from HTTP communication to browser and server-side scripts and dissects the subtle security consequences and the corresponding dangers of the unorganized conglomeration of web applications and browser code. The author then goes into how developers can work through the current problems and solve them down the road through new and revised code.
This book begins with the observation that the field of information security seems to be a mature and well-defined discipline, but in reality there is not even a rudimentary framework for understanding and assessing the security of modern software. So let's dive deeper into the book to see how Mr. Zalewski addresses the issues in an attempt to untangle this mess.
After the break, look for a link to a free download of Chapter 3: "Hypertext Transfer Protocol"

Elementary school performs flash mob for PE Week
430 students move to a line dance
NEWPORT, CARTERET COUNTY - To kick it off, Bogue Sound Elementary School in Carteret County did a flash mob. A flash mob is a group of people who suddenly break into dance in unexpected places.
Four hundred and thirty students did a line dance to the country song "Boot Scootin' Boogie". A flash mob is a planned event that is a surprise to everyone watching.
"We started thinking outside the box on doing something fun and keep the children active and be memorable," said Colleen Whilldin, Bogue Sound Elementary's physical education teacher.
Kindergarten through 5th grade learned the line dance in their physical education classes.
"Every time they came to PE, we would practice 10 to 15 minutes before we started class," said Whilldin.
Keeping the surprise part of the flash mob a secret was tough for some yet easy for others.
"It's pretty easy for me because I kind of keep secrets from my sisters," said Harrison Barnes, a 4th grader.
The students practiced the dance for 3 months before performing it. They did the dance twice. The first time they did it by themselves. The second time, they invited their teachers.
"It's awesome," said Barnes.
A few teachers joined in the second time, learning as they went. Counting the steps and learning the moves is beneficial for the kids without them realizing they are getting exercise.

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:59 pm on December 13, 2011 by Allahpundit
"Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney blasted rival Newt Gingrich Tuesday as an 'extremely unreliable leader in the conservative world' who has taken positions in this campaign that should give GOP voters pause as they consider their choices for the party's nomination…
"'He has been an extraordinarily unreliable leader in the conservative world—not 16 or 17 years ago but in the last two to three years,' Romney said. 'And even during the campaign, the number of times he has moved from one spot to another has been remarkable. I think he's shown a level of unreliability as a conservative leader today.'…
"'Let's look at the record,' he said. 'When Republicans were fighting for cap and trade and needed a leader to stand up against cap and trade, he did an ad with Nancy Pelosi about global warming,' he said. 'When Republicans took one of the most courageous votes I've seen in at least a decade to call for the reform of Medicare under the Paul Ryan plan, he goes public and says this is a 'right-wing social engineering' plan. Even today he called it 'suicide.'"
"1994 is very tough on Romney. The contrast between Romney and Gingrich in this year of GOP ascendancy and congressional clout unrealized since the days of Eisenhower and Truman that many conservatives may find it disqualifying. Whatever Republicans come to think of Gingrich's leadership style as speaker, they know Gingrich helped lead the GOP to its first House majority in 40 years and didn't tinker around the edges with his newly won power. An agenda that achieved spending cuts, sought and over time won a balanced budget, welfare reform, tax cuts, telecommunications reform and congressional reform is not and was not timid…
"At the same time, Romney was running against Kennedy in Massachusetts, a liberal state where a successful Republican had to soften some of the harder edges of the GOP's anti-Clinton, anti-Democratic rhetoric. Romney softened them past the state of sponginess and came out on the hardened side of opposition…
"Gingrich called the idea of a party committing to an agenda and inviting voters to throw them out if they didn't follow through 'revolutionary.' At an important moment in the party's history and ideological move toward conservatism, Gingrich and Romney drew very different conclusions about what would work and what would fail. This is known as a contrast and a historical fact."
"Inside D.C., it sounds very strange to say that Gingrich is an 'outsider.' Gingrich has eaten from just about every trough imaginable inside the Beltway. And yet, he's always been very clear that he wants to ('fundamentally,' 'historically,' 'categorically' and 'radically') overturn the existing order. Some critics always thought, plausibly, that such pronouncements were part of his act or a sign of his megalomania.
"But there's another possibility: It's true. Moreover, the times may be ripe for precisely the sort of vexing, vainglorious and all-too-human revolutionary Gingrich claims to be. That's the argument a few people have been wrestling with. Gingrich, after all, is the only candidate to actually move the government rightward. While getting wealthy off the old order, he's been plotting for decades how to get rid of it. To paraphrase Lenin, perhaps the K Streeters paid Gingrich to build the gallows he will hang them on?
"That remains a stretch. Mitt Romney is still the sensible choice if you believe these are rough, but generally sensible, times. If, however, you think these are crazy and extraordinary times, then perhaps they call for a crazy, extraordinary — very high-risk, very high-reward — figure like Gingrich."
"Our world that's coming is a world of narrowing, not widening, choices. It's a world that suits Mr. Romney's skills and history, his knack for operating within constraints and making choices based on data, data, data. Mr. Obama lives in the same world, of course, but is unequipped to deal with it given his dubious gifts for execution, execution, execution. Also, given his inclination to seek refuge in a clueless reverie of big new programs at a time when the resources simply don't exist.
"Nor is there a Big Idea that can transform our unhappy prospects. Lunar mining will not rescue Medicare. People like Mr. Gingrich play a useful role in politics: It's good to be able to talk thrillingly about history, civilization. But they make bad—perhaps we should say, unnecessary—presidents. When ideas are new and unfamiliar, they're not executable. When they're executable we need people who can execute.
"The consensus for painful reform comes when the status quo hits the wall. It's a myth that we don't know what our choices are. That's the Romney moment. His strong suit has always been to do what everyone else has put off."
"Just as Kerry's candidacy represented an attempt to effectively out-patriot George W. Bush ('You have a war president? We have a war hero!'), the former speaker has skillfully played to the Republican desire for a candidate who can finally outsmart and out-orate Obama…
"In reality, Kerry outdebated Bush but did not outpoll him, Al Gore won the 2000 debates on points only to lose them on personality, and Abraham Lincoln lost the Illinois Senate race to Stephen Douglas. When a presidential debate does matter to a campaign's outcome, it's usually a passing one-liner (Ronald Reagan's 'there you go again' Walter Mondale's 'where's the beef?') rather than a Ciceronian performance that makes the difference.
"More important for the Republican Party's purposes, it isn't 2008 anymore, and conservatives don't actually need to explode the fantasy of Obama's eloquence and omnicompetence. The harsh reality of governing has already done that for them. Nobody awaits the president's speeches with panting anticipation these days, or expects him to slay his opponents with the power of his intellect. Obamamania peaked with the inauguration, and it's been ebbing ever since…
"Conservatives may want catharsis, but the rest of the public seems to mainly want reassurance."
"'The longer this race goes, the more you're going to see these Republican candidates try to mortgage the general election to try and win the primary campaign,' said David Axelrod, the chief strategist for the president's re-election campaign. He added, 'They're being tugged to the right every day.'…
"'Just remember, the higher a monkey climbs on a pole, the more you can see his butt,' Mr. Axelrod said. 'So, you know, the speaker is very high on the pole right now, and we'll see how people like the view.'"
"In a written statement, Romney welcomed the endorsement.
"'Christine has been a leader in the conservative movement for many years,' Romney said. 'Christine recognizes that excessive government threatens us now and threatens future generations, and I am pleased to have her on my team.'"

Tami Sawyer in Court; Plea Hearing Reset
No-Show Led to Arrest Warrant Earlier in Week
BEND, Ore. - Former Bend real estate broker Tami Sawyer, facing federal and state fraud charges, was in a Bend courtroom Thursday morning, three days after her failure to appear at a plea hearing led to an arrest warrant being filed.
Sawyer's lawyer, Marc Blackman, later informed court officials in a motion that he had neglected to schedule the hearing and that he and his client only learned of it after the fact, when a prosecutor called to say they missed it. The warrant was later lifted.
On Thursday, Deschutes County Circuit Judge Stephen Forte set a new plea date of June 4th.
Sawyer and husband Kevin are accused of defrauding real estate investors out of more than $4 million.
Last July, Sawyer was taken into custody on a similar arrest warrant by Port of Portland police after arriving at Portland International Airport on a flight back from Mexico, where she was allowed to go and check on rental property.
Late Monday afternoon, Sawyer's husband shared with us court documents that explained the real reason she missed the court date.
According to a motion seeking a new hearing date, Sawyer's lawyer apologized for failing to keep track of the court date.
Blackman says he and Sawyer did not know about Monday's plea hearing until the prosecutor called him to say they missed it.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Coffin allowed Tami Sawyer to travel to Mexico from May 10-20.
Meanwhile, the Sawyers are still awaiting trial for federal charges in October, a trial that's been delayed several times.

While the bees are cooped up for the winter, I've been reading up on how to split my one and only hive so I don't have to worry about catching swarms next year. I came across the Snellgrove board (or double screen board) and decided that it might be a great way to do a split with. If the top hive box doesn't produce a new queen, I could always combine them again without a lot of danger on fighting since they would have similar hive scent. Here is what I managed to cobble together.
IMG_4843 assembled & resized.jpg
Also, I bought some circular entrance reducer and decided to install them on my new Warre hive boxes to also act as peepholes so I could check if my bees are building comb in the box or not. It's simpler than building a window made of plexiglass on one wall of the hive.
Now, all I have to do is wait for my bees to survive this winter.
Any thoughts, comments and additional advice are welcome.


text: My family and I may want to adopt a dog from a shelter. However, I have never had a dog, and am not really a dog person. My husband has had dogs for most of his life. I've been doing a lot of research on dog breeds, to try to find out which might be a fit for my family and myself; and I figured I'd ask here as well - what dog breeds might fit with our family? Which breeds should we absolutely not look at, as they are not a match? Our family is not home during the weekday, so a priority is a dog that is okay being alone until we get home. My husband often gets home early, so it's not like the dog will be alone for 10 hours or anything, but the dog needs to be able to spend several hours on weekdays alone. My daughter is age seven, so the dog would need to be okay with young children who want to hug and cuddle the dog. We have a cat, so the dog needs to be okay with cats. I'd prefer a dog that doesn't shed a ton, but I'm willing to give on that if we can otherwise find a dog that suits us. Is such a dog breed possible? Or am I really looking for the SONY Aibo?

I am coated in salt, dust, and dried sweat. My pants are probably completely ruined from the salt and I have hysterical tan lines from my tank top. I spent the entire afternoon in a salt desert completely devoid of water and actually felt, for a moment, afraid of the sun.
We are staying in a small village at the very edge of the salar tonight. I am in awe that people live here. I feel so abused by the sun and we were only in it for a few hours; these people live in a place where the sun scorches everything in sight all day long and when it finally goes down, you are blessed with a shocking frigidity
I�m in a group with four South Americans and I am incredibly thankful for that. My Spanish comprehension continues to pleasantly surprise me, though my speech is still shamefully embarassing. Raquel and Eduardo are from Brazil, where they speak Portuguese; Mattius and Agostina are from Argentina, where they speak a difficult accented Spanish that I�m finding it hard to follow.
Viviendo El Ahora comes from Matti and Agos, it means "Live in Now" - which is what their trip means to them and exactly what mine means to me. It�s interesting what a different affect different people have on me. I wasn�t looking forward to this tour and having to be forced into another group of "tourists" doing "tourist things" but these four have been such a joy - and it�s been such an experience trying to understand each other!
My favourite part was one day when Marcos (our Bolivian non-English-speaking....so I really WAS on my own!...driver) said something really quickly in Spanish that I didn�t catch, so I asked Raquel (who speaks a bit of Spanish and a bit of English) when he said and she started to explain it to me in Portuguese. At first I was nodding as if I understood, then I realized I couldn�t and for a second I wondered if I had acquired a brain tumour because she was speaking English! Oh no, wait, no she isn�t. The look on my face must have said a thousand words because she stopped and we both burst out laughing for a good, long time
I have been enjoying their company and my successful attempts at communication. I�ll be sad to part ways tomorrow when I head into Chile.
After three days in the mountains, sweating and freezing, I finally arrived at the Chilean border yesterday and was shocked as the unmarked dirt road turned into a paved, divided highway. I, once again, felt culture shocked by the familiarity of Chilean wealth. Street signs! Cement! Traffic lights! WHOA.
Raquel and Eduardo were also going to Chile, so we three hopped onto the first bus from San Pedro de Atacama (the border) to Santiago (the capital) and 24 hours later, here we are. I�ll be here for a couple days and then I�m headed straight to the beach!
Enjoy the pictures. The salt flat ones are pretty cool.

seed saving illegal
I just found out that saving seeds from year to year from the plants in your garden is going to be against the law in Canada. It is already illegal in some countries, this seems so wrong. I have seeds that have been in my family for over two centuries.....a spotted lettuce, why can't I continue to grow it?
Gardenners, small farmers and organic farmers have been saving seeds and the genetics of these heirloom varieties for years and now free trade between the EU and Canada will make this act illegal. I will be contacting everyone I can think of to prevent this from going through, writing letters to editors and contacting the group in India to find out how they prevented this from happening in their country. We need to preserve these seed stocks and genetic lines to safeguard them for future generations.
Up the revolution....save seeds.

Re: seed saving illegal
I think seed saving is only illegal if it's from plants with breeders rights. And even then I doubt anyone will bother about it unless you plan to sell them. It's kind of like copyright on DVDs and books.

Re: seed saving illegal
There are a few things on the internet about this...
From what I can gather its mainly about farmers who have bought their cannola seed from a particular supplier who ' holds the rights to the plants DNA !
It is a particular brand of seed .
Binaatthelake , I think that you would be ok to keep the pretty lettuce going for many years by saving the seeds, from what I have read , its about the particular cannola seed and not things like the lettuce seeds that came into your family generations ago.

I know, you read this on the internet. Do you want me to list things that have been written on the internet? How about things that people BELIEVE that have been written on the internet?
You are a university student, I hope you've taken some classes in logical thinking and figured out that just because you read it on the internet doesn't make it so.
It it did, we would all be laying in bathtubs with our kidneys missing and Osama bin Laden would be living in a guest room at the White House. Stop being moved by fear. It's an age-old tool that seems to work all the time. Sad sad.

Re: seed saving illegal
Sigh. Oh dear.
For those in fear, have a look at these threads in the forum:
http://www.jamieoliver.com:81/forum/vie … p?id=41025
http://www.jamieoliver.com:81/forum/vie … p?id=48190
If you were a commercial farmer, in clear breach of a company's seeds patent, and making money from what you were growing in breach of the patent, you might get the mounties showing up at your door. If you are a private individual, growing your fruit, veg and herbs in your little patch in your backyard for your own use, I should think that firstly, they're highly unlikely to know about you and your veg patch, and secondly, they are unlikely really to care.
However well these films on the net are made, they are offering only one perspective on an issue. People really need to read much more widely and judiciously, to have an accurate understanding and judgement of an issue. You are a university student. Have you learnt how to seek out multiple sources from different perspectives, to read them critically, and to form careful conclusions?

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have all of mine in the holders and have post it notes all sticking out with notes I made while looking at them in bed. I will never in my life get them all made. Not even one tenth.
Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
I have wondered the same thing myself for years. Thanks for so many ideas everyone.
Judi from Denver, aka Nonna Judi
I tear my favorite patterns out. save them, then bring the magazines to our guild or bee meetings for anyone who wants them. I am saving magazines, in tact, for our Quilt Show. Back issues of magazines are some of the most popular items for sale at 25 Cents. We also collect patterns quilters have bought and no longer need or want. Those usually sell for .50cents.
Lizzy in La.
Thanks for the nudge here. I am going to our Library today and will ask if they would want any of my mags for their sale. Most of mine are from 2008. I had given the older ones to quilting friends......they don't want any more.....

I cannot count my day complete 'til needle, thread and fabric meet.
Would love to have some of your mag. Anyone want to get rid of some? Some of us beginners might want some> Please share.
there was a time I saved them all using those plastic bones that fit in the center then into 3 ring binders (bought at office max), but then became overwhelmed with binders........and decided to sell bundles at a garage sale..........that worked.....the ones I wanted to save I became creative and butting a ceral box to resemble those plastic mag holders and covering w/contact became my next project.......now I simply rip out the one or two ideas I might want to try and toss or give away the mags at guild meetings....some people take them to doctor/dentist/hairdresser - my next drop off sites!!!!! But lately have not bought many and stopped all my subs so down to doing with what I have.......and will eventually thin those out.
Having moved home in the last year before I left I sorted through my magazines with friends and gave a load away. In the last month or so I have re sorted and reduced again, giving those I really won't use again to members of a craft group I have joined.I rarely buy magazines now,this forum and other sites provide so much inspiration I can do without.The money I save I would rather spend on fabric ! Love to all Letty
I just went through over 30 magazines last night and I carefully tore the patterns I wanted out of them. I am taking the patterns this weekend and will scan them into my laptop in a folder labeled "Quilt patterns! Nothing to take up shelf space!!! i don't need to share the magazines because they were shared with me!!

The "Shit Buck" or act of Shit Bucking is the practice of smearing human or animal feces onto one side of a dollar bill and placing it, feces side down, in an open, public area. Upon placement, those responsible should move to a safe and close location with a good vantage point to view the fruits of their labor. The goal is to trick individuals into picking up and even pocketing this "shit buck." It is an added plus if said location is within earshot and if the event can be videotaped.

Anmeldelser af denne bolig
Vi havde et rigtig godt ophold i den skønne, rummelige og charmerende gamle lejlighed og følte os meget godt modtaget af både Denis og hans søn, som bor i opgangen. Alt var arrangeret optimalt for os - alt tænkeligt udstyr til vores rådighed. Der er gode metroforbindelser og indkøbsmuligheder helt tæt på , fredeligt og roligt om natten. Kan varmt anbefales.
Venlig hilsen
Bodil m. familie (i alt 4 pers)
Vi havde 5 dejlige dage i Paris og boede rigtig dejligt i denne lejlighed. Den ligger,så man meget nemt kommer til en metro eller bus, der ligger en god bager lige overfor og et par udmærkede restauranter tæt ved. Indkøbsmuligheder er der nok af ganske tæt på.
Værten var yderst hjælpsom både før vores ophold og ved ankomsten. Vi blev modtaget med champagne, kold øl og vand i køleskabet. Kaffe og te var der også i huset. Lejligheden er hyggelig og hjemlig. Alt var til vores fulde tilfredshed og vi kan varmt anbefale den.
Elisabeth Hansen Danmark. (Vi var 4 personer afsted i alderen 60+.)
We really enjoyed our stay in this flat during our Paris break. Denis is a very friendly and helpful host, and the whole process of making the initial arrangements, arrival/departure, damage deposit, etc. was really straightforward. This is a genuine, lived-in Parisian apartment in an interesting part of town and not some sterile property run by a tourist agency. It was nice to have the comfortable lounge (TV channels in many languages and useful tourist/transport information on the coffee table) and a spacious kitchen. The beds were very comfortable. Great location close to the metro/RER station and a wide range of shops and restaurants close by for both self-catering and eating out. For me, staying in the flat added to the experience of being in Paris. Highly recommended.
Denis' apartment is near perfect (an extreme statement perhaps, but I'm still wracking my brain to find something I'd change)!
It's location couldn't be better - within 5 minutes walk from a major Metro station, with nearby restaurants, food & vegie shops, bakeries and a twice-weekly street market opposite. It's even within (longish) walking distance from the Bois de Vincennes (so you can easily escape the city activity, if you need). Altho on a busy square (thus providing a fascinating window onto daily life), it's also very quiet inside (easy to sleep).
The flat itself is on the first floor (with a lift). Immediately we entered, we realized we were in a charming home (not some formulaic space furnished with Scandinavian kit furniture). The rooms are ample to large, the kitchen particularly charming. The flat is fully equipped, including with thoughtful advice and guidance about getting the best from the district. It is unreservedly recommended.
Very nice, big and clean flat. Good neighbourhood and very close to metrostation Nation. We had a wonderful time! Tank you!
We had a very good time in this apartment in Paris. The apartment is very beautiful and the view is nice. The apartment is situated in a very good place near metro, RER and lots of shops. We had an opportunity to live few days in a parisian way. Denis is best host you can imagine. Everything worked well and was perfect.
Denis's apartment is beautiful and fully equipped. It is located near a very important Metro station which connects with almost every place in Paris.
Denis is an extremely kind host and supplies all kind of help and information.
In short, this is an option to recommend to your best friend.
Very nice apartment, perfectly situated for any excursion in and about Paris! We had a very nice week there, and everything was well arranged from the landlord Denis with maps and useful, practical information about how to get around etc. I can hihgly recommend this apartment to others.
The accommodation was wonderful. right near the metro Nation that offers multiple lines to many parts of Paris. The apartment is very comfortable and the owner, Dennis, very helpful and provided everything we needed, giving us tips on places to eat, shop and supermarket. There are many options trading very close like supermarkets, restaurants, department store, electronics store, bakery and much more!.
A perfect place to stay. Surely when I return to Paris I will be there.
Dennis, thanks for the great stay. My friends and I loved it!

Rescue squad faces the challenge of longer drives, higher costs
JONESVILLE, Va. - When Wellmont Health Systems closed Lee Regional Medical Center in September it created an extra burden for the county's rescue squads.
"It's life or death," said Raymond Williams, a Jonesville resident.
And as the reality of not having a hospital sets in Williams realizes time isn't on his side when it comes to getting to the closest hospital now in Big Stone Gap.
"That's a long way to go for a heart attack victim or someone like that, they might be cut short," said Williams.
Since Wellmont Health Systems closed the county's only hospital, Williams and the more than 25,000 people who live in Lee County will have to travel up to 40 minutes to get emergency medical attention.
A longer time for the county's rescue squads to try to keep a person alive is a challenge. "Even though we were traveling 12 miles to Lee Regional now we are traveling 45 minutes doing chest compressions and breathing for you if you are in cardiac arrest or a really serious trauma condition. That distance is against us in time wise," said Lewis Moore, Jonesville Rescue Squad Captain.
Lewis Moore showed us how the extra travel time has caused them to have to put more gas in the tank.
He told News 5 in October they spent more than $1,000 for fuel compared to $400 in September. In the month of October his crews clocked 1,030 miles while taking patients to area hospitals, compared to 300 miles the month before.
While they run about 40 to 60 calls per month, sometimes those calls come at the same time and with longer drive times.
They now rely on other rescue squads in the county for help. "We usually keep two crews, we have three trucks. There are times I can have three crews, but it's usually very seldom. But if we have both crews out or we only have on crew on call and that crew is busy taking someone to the hospital then Thomas Walker or Pennington usually cover our calls," Moore sdaid.
As for Williams, he tells News 5 he'll do what he can before he calls an ambulance.
"I'll try to make it myself, I'll try my best to get my family members there," said Williams.
The Jonesville Rescue Squad tells us they bill the patient's insurance companies for the additional cost.

REVIEW: Ender's Game
By Derek Sante - Review Nation
follow Derek
Ender Wiggins (Asa Butterfield) is a complicated boy. Born into a future where one must pay huge sums for the right to have a 3rd child. Ender quickly learns that rules and the populace at large becomes the engine that drives the planet, that and a war brought to the planet by insect-like creatures.
With only a slight victory during the initial attack by a hero named Mazer Rackham, the planet and its people decide to pull its resources in hopes of stopping an all-out war. The number one resource being children and their capacity to learn, adapt and understand new enemies.
After prodding and testing, Ender gets his chance to show his skills when he is transferred to battle school. Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) leads a never ending army of children taught in the ways of war and given only one directive; be the strongest and the smartest. Along the way it becomes clear that the young Wiggins boy has the right amount of forethought and ferocity to lead the human race into battle. Unfortunately, he must fight through the ranks of cadets in his way with all of his cunning and guile if he has any hopes of commanding the fleet.
As a fan, I can say that Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a powerful book. It delivers surprise, emotion and wonder to those with an open imagination. And luckily, this movie manages to glean a good amount of excitement from the story. Asa Butterfield takes the reigns and drives the film from start to finish. Those who remember him in Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" already know that this young man's emotion and character development are on par with talent twice his age. Unfortunately, because of the story or how they were created, all other characters drop off considerably. Instrumental for sure, but all just stepping stones for the main character and his realization that war is not a game.
Grade: B+
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running time: 1hr 54mins.

Hitting theaters this week is Man on a Ledge, a rather unsubtly titled thriller that stars Sam Worthington as a guy whose nowhere-left-to-turn predicament has him doing the old wave-down-at-the-masses bit. This isn't the first time Worthington has flirted with dizzying precipices (his motion-captured doppelgänger braved the floating mountains of Pandora), and it certainly isn't the first time Hollywood has tormented acrophobics. Movies have long been living on the edge, ever intent on serving up vicarious vertigo. For proof, here's a list of 15 memorable movie ledges, from cliffs to rooftops to ominous subway platforms. Safety nets not included.
Thelma & Louise (Dir. Ridley Scott; 1991). Whee! Granting Thelma's (Geena Davis) request that the feminist fugitives "just keep going," Louise (Susan Sarandon) puts the pedal to the floor and sends the duo's '66 Thunderbird sailing over the edge of the Grand Canyon. Let's just pretend they're off chilling with Danny and Sandy, in whatever place those hand-jivers wound up after their big boat of a car took flight at the end of Grease.

Pekka Rinne is said to be coming back very soon, possibly for tonight's game against the Los Angeles Kings. If that is the case, he will obviously be the starter. However, is Pekka Rinne's position of starting goaltender up for a little debate? After all, Anders Lindback is quickly becoming a candidate for the Calder Trophy.
Let me first start off by giving you my point of view on the matter. I think, at least for now, that Pekka Rinne should be the starting goaltender here in Music City and I have a few reasons for that. Firstly, Trotz has always stated in the past that nobody will lose their job due to an injury. He's been pretty good about holding true to that in the past, and I don't really expect him to change that now. However, should Pekka begin to struggle, I think Trotz will have a pretty short leash.
Another reason is that it's not like Pekka wasn't playing well when he was injured. He was standing on his head and playing very solid hockey until the time of his injury. The offensive support at that time wasn't very good at all, and some of that made it's mark on Rinne's win and loss record. Since Lindback has taken over in light of Rinne's injury, the offensive support has been better.
Now, I'm not trying to deminish what Lindback has done so far this season. Truthfully speaking, the kid has been unreal and it's been a pleasure to watch him. He doesn't seem to have a care while he's playing, and really is a joyful person off of the ice as well. However, this is Pekka's job to lose. Lindback is 9-1-2 this season, which really is fantastic for someone who we knew very little about coming into this season.
The bottom line is that Pekka Rinne is going to be the starting goaltender when he comes back. I don't think he's going to be getting the overwhelming amount of games in a row he was getting before he was injured. I think Trotz is now fully comfortable with both Pekka Rinne and Anders Lindback. I'm pretty sure there was a little skepticism about Lindback until this recent string of games he has put together. Personally, all my skepticism about the young Swede has evaporated.

Controversy Brewing in Nashville?

- Shoot the puckDecember 18, 2010 at 10:23 AM
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. You've got a white-hot goaltender who shows no signs of slowing down. The team is playing really well in front of him. Why mess up a really good thing? Trotz should not put considerations of Rinne or any other individual player above those of the team. Wait until he has a bad game before making a change.ReplyDelete
I somewhat agree with you. However, Pekka was playing just as good as lindback is. He just had awful offensive support. And Suter wasn't playing for a lot of the time and that's made a huge difference.ReplyDelete

Step 1
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Step 2
Whisk 1/4 cup cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Pat tofu with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge 4 tofu slices in the flour mixture, add them to the pan and cook until crispy and golden, about 3 minutes per side. Place the tofu on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with another tablespoon of oil and the remaining tofu, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent scorching.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, shallots and thyme to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the shallots are slightly soft and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until tender and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Marsala and simmer until slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch with broth and tomato paste in a small bowl. Stir into the mushroom mixture, return to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and glossy, about 4 minutes. To serve, spoon the hot sauce over the tofu.

New ASIS Prez Settles in for 1-Year Term
Richard Widup Jr., CPP, discusses his presidency and the security industry at large in SSI's Hot Seat.
By Rodney Bosch · July 18, 2014
Richard Widup Jr., CPP, assumed the role of presidency of ASIS Int'l in January for a one-year term. He serves as senior director, corporate security for Purdue Pharma. Widup also has 27 years of law enforcement experience, including as a special agent with the United States Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID). He joins the conversation to discuss his ASIS presidency and the industry at large.
Is there a particular initiative you are embracing in your role as president of ASIS?
My initiatives are in keeping with the ASIS strategic plan. In particular, I am encouraging our volunteer leaders to develop, practice and improve upon their leadership skills; to improve the communication and collaboration in and between the various volunteer led efforts; and to increase our spheres of influence by identifying and working with other organizations that share a common nexus with the ASIS mission and vision.
What do you see as the best opportunities currently for systems integrators?
Some of the best opportunities that I see now for systems integrators are to get involved with the developing efforts between ASIS and other security industry organizations, including SIA, ESA and PSA Security. It is incumbent upon each of the organizations to open channels of communications between its memberships. By working in conjunction with one another toward common goals, we can leverage knowledge, networks, technologies and other valuable resources to both advance and professionalize the security industry as a whole.
Can you provide some advice to systems integrators on how to better foster their relationships with their end-user clients?
Communication is key here and as technology becomes increasingly more complex, it is important that practitioners and integrators clearly identify and communicate key deliverables, plan, test, retest and modify plans.
With your experience in the pharmaceutical industry, how have threats against those facilities transformed through the years?
In some respects the threats against the facilities have remained the same. The evolving challenge is protecting the facilities of third-party manufacturers, distributors and repackagers. The pharmaceutical industry today is more diversified and extended than ever before, with manufacturers relying more on third-party relationships to bring and distribute products to consumers. To be effective, security practitioners working in this industry today should be also closely aligned with their external partners.
That said, there are segments of the industry that are more challenging today than ever before. Clearly, the IT security threats are growing, as are the threats from the theft of trade secrets and other forms of intangible assets. And, while cargo theft of pharmaceuticals has somewhat diminished in the United States, it is still a dominant challenge in developing countries where the pharmaceutical industry is expanding rapidly. Last, but by no means least, the presence of counterfeit, substandard and unapproved medicines is a deadly threat that can adversely damage a company's reputation. The scope and complexity of the Internet has complicated security teams' efforts to mitigate this threat with more infringing and unlawful medicines being distributed via the Internet today than ever before.

Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center
Who Was Charlie Elliott?
"Whatever your reason for being there, the outdoors is a world apart, a creation unique with its own colors, its special music, and its matchless variety of fragrance. No human paint brush could ever duplicate its beauty, no musical instrument its blended symphonies, and there is no way to match its fragrance with chemicals."
-Charlie Elliott
Charles Newton Elliott (1906-2000) lived in Covington, Georgia and served as the first Director of Georgia State Parks in 1937-38. He became the Commissioner of Natural Resources in 1938-41 then was the first Director of the Game and Fish Commission (now known as the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division) in 1943-49. Elliott also was Southeastern Field Editor for Outdoor Life magazine from 1950 until his passing. His dedication to the conservation of the natural world and wildlife was evident to those who knew him personally and those who read his many writings.

solution against vulnerability
I am facing challenges towards the vulnerability assessment. Most of the laptops which were not present in SNX since last few months are getting connected without any intimation to IT guys.They get the IP address as becos we have Radius implemented network. The only way i come to know thru vulnerability scanner.
Can any one suggest the solution in such way the machine which is vulnerable should not get connected to network until the system is patched. We have windows 2003 & 2008 AD infrastructure and Cicso devices for networks.
Kindly suggest any suitable solutions.

I helped my girl friends mom pull 2 supers yesterday. Both were full with capped honey.
Figured that was a good excuse to break in the new extractor. We averaged right at 1 quart of honey per frame.
The unit is not as noisy as it sounds. My phone doubles the sound level for some reason?
I'll try to attach a video, but not sure if I can get it to work or not?

""A lot of these sound perfect for quail."
"Every gun is perfect for quail! Things are like cockroaches here,I wish they'd make the season longer and the bag limit bigger."
Why not just shoot clay pigeons? Then you can get your adrenalin jollies without all the blood, death, dieing, guts and feathers. I wasn't going to comment on this thread until I saw the word,.."quail". Now tell me,.."but I love to see all that,..blood, guts, death, dieng and feathers" flying off into the autumn sky,..go ahead,.."make my day"!!
Besides, there are no more "wild quail" anymore; at least not wild enough to challenge anyone's "manhood",. It's like shooting "fish in a barrel"; have fun.

Mitsi's super-seller rides again
Mitsubishi's bringing back the Mirage nameplate in February and provided a peek of the new small car during this week's Outlander SUV introduction.
It'll be sold in two versions, the base LS at $18,990 and the GLS at $21,990. Both use a 1.2-litre three cylinder engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission.
The five-door hatchback replaces the Colt range.
"Everyone remembers having a Mirage," says Mitsubishi Motors' marketing head, Daniel Cook.
Once a cornerstone of the company's New Zealand line-up with more than 57,000 sold, the Mirage helped make Mitsubishi the country's leading brand in the early 1980s.
Cook's hoping the name will once again be all good for the company, especially with an overall fuel economy rating of 4.6-litres per 100km.

Law enforcement looking for missing boy
Endangered person advisory issued for Markell Beasley
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri State Highway Patrol has put out an endangered person advisory for a boy from Jefferson City. Markell Beasley, 6, is believed to be with a man who had a hand in raising him.
According to state troopers, Markell's mother allowed family members of Demitrius Beasley to take her son to St. Louis from Jefferson City. The idea was for Markell to attend a Christmas gathering.
Troopers say the family then gave Markell to Demitrius, who is not the biological father and has no legal rights to Markell.
In an exchange of phone calls and text messages between Demitrius and Markell's mother, troopers say Demitrius threatened to not return Markell. He also allegedly made other threats to others trying to take Markell from him.
Investigators say they now think there never was a Christmas gathering scheduled to take place. Instead, it appears to be part of a plan to get Markell to Demitrius.
Markell is a black male, age 6, 4 feet 3 inches tall, 52 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing an orange hat, gray and orange coat, blue shirt and blue jeans.
Demitrius is a black male, age 40, 5 feet 11 inches tall, 200 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
If you see either Markell or Demitrius, police ask that you call 911 or the Jefferson City police department at (573) 634-6351.
