Whether you're hanging a picture or framing a house, plumb and level is essential. These tips show how to use plumb bobs and levels for a wide variety of building and decorating tasks.
Thread a screw into the bottom of the level as a pivot to make leveling easier (see next photo).
Adjust the torpedo with shims to level it. Mark the wall at the point of light. Swivel the level on the pivot and adjust it with shims again. Mark the wall at the new location.
There are many types of laser levels that simplify long distance leveling. The inexpensive version we're showing is a small "torpedo" level with a built-in laser light. Turn on the laser light and adjust the level until the bubble is centered between the lines. The point of visible laser light will be level with a reference mark on the body of the level. More expensive laser levels have self-leveling mechanisms that eliminate the need to adjust the bubble.
You can mount laser levels on a tripod, but if you don't own a tripod, thread a 1/4-in. No. 20 machine screw into the hole on the bottom of the level, letting it protrude about 1/4 in. to serve as a pivot point. Set the level onto the pivot and use shims to center the bubble (photo below). Mark the wall at the dot of light and measure up or down to the desired height. Then swivel the laser on the pivot, level it, mark the wall again, and measure up or down the same distance. Snap a line between the points.
Drop the plumb bob from the ceiling and suspend it about 1/2 in. above your floor.
Ask a helper to steady the plumb bob and tell you which way to move the string to center it over the point on the floor.
One of the quickest and easiest ways to plumb up or down from any given point is with a plumb bob (sold at hardware stores and home centers). We're using the plumb bob to transfer layout marks from the floor to the ceiling. Suspend the plumb bob about 1/2 in. above the floor and center the point exactly over the intersecting lines. Then mark the location on the ceiling. The key to accuracy is to wait for the bob to stop swinging. To speed things up, ask a helper to steady the plumb bob while you adjust the position of the string. Plumb bobs have one major drawback: They don't work in windy conditions.
This is probably old news to you smartphone veterans out there, but for you newbies, here's the tip. Your phone can work like a small level or plumb bob. You can download a level app, or your phone may already have a leveling app built into the operating system. You wouldn't want to build an addition with a phone level, but it can come in handy for little leveling tasks around the house.
Tape a shim to one end of your level and use it to set the slope of plumbing pipes.
The next time you need to put a consistent slope on pipes, concrete formwork or landscaping projects, try this hint. Tape a shim to one end of your level to establish the desired slope—say, 1/4 in. per foot for a drain. Center the bubble and your project will be perfectly sloped. Calculate the thickness of the shim by multiplying the length of your level in feet by the desired slope (inches per foot). We wanted 1/4-in. per foot slope on this drainpipe, so for our 2-ft. level we needed a 1/2-in.-thick shim. If it's more convenient to set the level on top of your project, tape the shim to the bottom instead.
Shim the end of your level with playing cards until the bubble is centered. (If the bubble is already centered, you won't need any cards.) We've marked one end of the level with blue tape to distinguish it from the opposite end.
Rotate the level 180 degrees (end for end) and rest it on the same stack of cards. If the bubble is in the center, your level is accurate. If not, have it repaired or get a new level.
The bubble on this level is lined up with the right-hand line.
Now the bubble on this level is lined up with the left-hand line, indicating a bad plumb vial. Adjust the level or mark this vial as bad with a permanent marker.
Who knows how it happens, but it seems like every level eventually gets a little "off." In some cases, this small inaccuracy won't matter. But if you're doing finicky work like setting kitchen cabinets or installing doors and windows, you'll want an accurate level. The photos show how to check your level. Expensive levels may be worth repairing. Call the manufacturer to find out if yours is repairable. When you're buying a new level, use the same technique to check it for accuracy before leaving the store with it.
To check for accurate plumb vials, rest your level against a wall and note the location of the bubble between the lines. Then rotate the level 180 degrees, edge to edge, keeping the same end facing up. The bubble should be in the same spot. If not, your plumb vial is off. Levels like the one shown can be adjusted, but many levels can't. In some cases, one set of vials will be good, and you can simply cross out the bad set with a permanent marker to avoid using it. Or toss a bad level and buy a new one.
Plumb walls using a straight board with spacer blocks of equal thickness nailed to each end.
The two spacer blocks are set at the points that need leveling, spanning the curvy stud.
You could plumb a wall by simply setting your level against the stud, but it wouldn't give you an accurate reading unless the stud was perfectly straight and smooth. The method shown spans irregularities in the stud and allows you to align the top and bottom plates exactly plumb with each other. Make sure the spacer blocks are the same thickness and that the board they're attached to is perfectly straight. Check to make sure your setup is accurate by flipping it end for end. You should get the same reading on the level. If not, the straightedge may be crooked.
Measure the distance from the stretched wire to the top of the picture frame.
Measure down from the level line and mark for the location of the picture-hanging hook.
Getting a row of pictures to line up at the top can be tricky, especially if the hanging wires are different lengths. Here's a tip from a professional picture hanger. Hook a tape measure to the wire and pull it tight (Photo 1). Measure to the top of the picture frame. On the wall, measure down from a level line and mark this distance at the centerline of your new picture location. Align the hook of the picture hanger with the mark and nail it to the wall (Photo 2). Repeat this process for all of the pictures, and their tops will be perfectly aligned.
Align the top of the level with your mark and center the bubble. Mark the opposite end.
Line up a chalk line with the two marks and snap a line.
If you need to make a long, level line (or a plumb line) and don't own a laser, try this method. Mark the desired height of your line on the wall. Hold your level at the mark and adjust it until the bubble is centered. Then make a mark at the opposite end of the level (Photo 1). Extend the line by stretching a chalk line and aligning it with both marks (Photo 2). If you're working indoors, use dust-off marking chalk, which is easy to erase. Stretch the chalk line and snap it to create a perfectly level line across the wall.
Lay a level across the opening and shim under one end until the bubble is centered. Measure the thickness of the shims.
Transfer the measurement to the appropriate jamb and draw a cutting line with a square. Saw along the line to trim the jamb. Now when you set the door in the opening, the top of the jamb will be level.
If your floors are going to be carpeted, you don't have to worry about a gap under one of the doorjamb sides. In fact, most trim installers raise the doors so they don't drag on the carpet. This is done by resting the jambs on 3/8-in.-thick shims, or temporary scraps of trim. That raises the whole door so it completely clears the carpet. But if the jambs have to fit tight to tile, wood or vinyl floors, you'll have to cut them to fit an out-of-level floor. The two photos show how.
Tubs and shower bases aren't always level, so starting your first row of tile against them could throw off your whole job. Instead, make level marks on the wall, line up the ends of a straight board with the marks and screw the board to the wall. Rest the first row of tile on the board for a perfectly level tile job. The distance from the top of the shower or tub to the top of the board should be less than the width of a tile. That way you can custom-cut the tiles to accommodate an out-of-level tub or shower and keep consistent grout lines.
Here's a handy tip from one of our electrical consultants. The screws that attach an outlet or a switch to the box go in a slot that allows the device to be adjusted. But you don't always have to remove the cover plate to fix crooked switches or outlets. Instead, try pushing a flat-blade screwdriver against the cover plate. Use a screwdriver with a sharp blade. A rounded-over blade will just slip off. You may have to push from more than one corner to fix really crooked devices.
Here's a two-part tip for leveling appliances. First, use a magnetic level to free up both hands. Most torpedo levels have a built-in magnet and work great for appliance leveling. The second part of the tip is to lift the front of the appliance with a pry bar to take pressure off the leveling feet. It's much easier to turn the feet when they're off the ground.
You could use a plumb bob to transfer layout marks from the floor to the ceiling, but extending your level with a straight board works sometimes works faster, especially when it's windy. Just remember to mark on the correct side of the level.
The elevation you're trying to measure won't usually be the exact distance from your feet to the level, so you'll have to do some math. You might be squatting, sitting down or standing. Whichever, figure out the distance from your eye to the ground and that's the height to the point you're sighting. In this case, we're checking the elevation to the top of the fountain to help us size the pump.
This tip won't work for leveling house footings, but it's great for approximating exterior grade changes as well as other long-distance leveling that doesn't need to be exact, just close. Hold a level at eye height and center the bubble. Sight along the top of the level to the point you want to check. The distance from your feet to the level is the height of the point you're looking at.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
You'll also need a laser level, a torpedo level, a magnetic level and a plumb bob.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Tennessee High students remembered
BRISTOL - Friends, family and classmates gathered Saturday night to mourn the loss of two area teens killed in a car crash Friday afternoon.
Blake Looney, 17, and Colton Taylor, 15, were killed when their car hit a tree stump in a private, gated community in Washington County, Va.
One passenger, Charlie Arnie, 18, survived the crash.
A prayer vigil at Euclid Avenue Baptist Church and candlelight vigil at Tennessee High School were held Saturday night.
News5 spoke to students about how they will remember their friends.
Candles spelling out "B" and "C" for Blake Looney and Colton Taylor were surrounded by family and friends remembering their loved ones.
The candles were arranged in Looney's parking spot at Tennessee High School.
"He was always the kind of guy to make you laugh and smile," said Jesse Smith about Looney. Smith is a senior at Tennessee High.
He sat next to Looney in the trumpet section of the Tennessee High band. Taylor sat in front of them with the saxophone players.
"He always had a smile on his face, never down, the kind of guy who wanted to make everyone happy," Smith said about Taylor.
Smith told us he organized the candle light vigil as a message of hope.
"We thought that a candle light remembrance would be nice, it symbolizes light in the dark," he said.
Colton Taylor's family were at the vigil, along with about 50 students.
Many of the students went to vigil straight from an earlier prayer service.
The pews were filled at the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church in Bristol, Va. and in the front seat was Charlie Arnie, the only survivor of the accident.
Arnie called Taylor, Looney and himself "the three amigos" and asked the crowd to stay strong.
Looney and Taylor were also members of the high school swim team.
Teammate and senior at Tennessee High, Jeremy Fahn, told us their deaths have brought the swim team, band and school together.
"This bonding that has happened between us is a good thing and I see that this is a benefit but its also in the question why did it have to be through this," said Fahn.
Fahn told us he wishes he could have seen his friends one more time.
"I'm gonna miss them," he said.
Virginia State Police are handling the investigation.
We're told they are still looking into the cause of the accident.
They have told us that drugs and alcohol were not factors in the crash and all three teens were wearing seat belts.

Re: HELLO JAMIE
Jamie Oliver
Restaurants and cooking are in Jamie Oliver's blood, as his parents own and operate a successful pub/restaurant, The Cricketers, in Cambridge, where he grew up. At eight years of age, Jamie was peeling potatoes and podding peas with the rest of the staff and, by 11, he could julienne vegetables as fast as any of them. When he turned 16, he attended Westminster Catering College, where he completed his formal training.
A fresh face in the culinary world, Jamie Oliver began work at the critically acclaimed River Cafe in London for three years. After appearing on television as part of a documentary on the River Cafe, Jamie was called the next morning by five of the top production companies in England. Jamie went with Optomen Television to produce the first series of the enormously successful Naked Chef. He has since gone on to produce Pukka Tukka, Oliver's Twist, Jamie's Kitchen and multiple specials.
In addition to his TV shows, Jamie has written the bestselling cookbooks The Naked Chef (Hyperion), The Naked Chef Takes Off, Happy Days, Jamie's Kitchen, Jamie's Dinner's. Jamie opened a not-for-profit restaurant, Fifteen, with the goal of training unemployed youth to work in the kitchen and on the floor as documented in the wildly successful TV series Jamie's Kitchen. The London restaurant has become a hit.
Most recently, Jamie began a food revolution in Britain thanks to his latest series, Jamie's School Dinners, prompting the British government to publicly commit to improving the quality of the country's school meals. In total, British dinner ladies, parents and most importantly children, have been promised £280 million to improve school dinners across the country. On March 30, Oliver delivered the 'Feed Me Better' petition, complete with 271,677 signatures, to Number 10 Downing St.
Jamie's cooking is even in demand by the British government. In 1999, Jamie was invited to prepare a lunch for the British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who was entertaining the Italian Prime Minister. He is also a favourite among many Hollywood celebrities.
Jamie's passions are pasta and bread-making. He also plays drums with his high school mates in a band called Scarlet Division. According to Jamie, they sound like a mixture of "Catatonia and Texas with a harder edge."
Jamie married his childhood sweetheart, Jools, in 2000. They live in London with their daughters Poppy Honey and Daisy Boo.

text: Even if it is from Infowars, it is still a concerning situation, that has not been reasonably explained. I believe that the DHS "is" preparing for civil unrest. My only issue is whether the government is planning for unrest caused by an outside force, (natural disaster, financial collapse, etc....) or whether the government plans to instigate the unrest.

I went hunting this morning and noticed a bulge in my barrel. It looks like a golf ball was in my barrel about 6 inches from choke. Yesterday I hunted and shot at a crippled goose and it was a thud and pellets barely came out the barrel. I took a few more shots that day and didn't notice anything. I shoot fast steal and some heavy shot . I not sure why the barrel blew on me? Any ideas?
I haven't contacted stoeger yet but the gun is only 7 months old and I hope they'll work with me. Just wish it did'nt happen during the last two weeks of the season. This mornings hunt was slow for us 1 nice drake wigeon. I actually still had a great time though I was gunless.

The IP Awareness Assessment, developed under the joint efforts of United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and National Institute of Standards and Technology/Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST/MEP), is a web-based tool designed to assess intellectual property (IP) knowledge and provide personalized training resources for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and inventors. The assessment helps evaluate a user's IP asset awareness and target areas specific to those related business needs. The tool provides access to educational materials based on the assessment results. The full assessment includes questions in five IP protection categories (Utility Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Trade Secrets, and Design Patents) plus five general IP categories (IP Strategies & Best Practices, Using Technology of Others, Licensing Technology to Others, International IP Rights and IP Asset Tracking). The questions presented in each category have been designed to discover the participant's overall IP awareness as they relate to their IP asset protection needs.
Full assessment (62 questions) takes approximately 20-30 minutes. If a user is not interested in taking the full assessment, a pre-assessment (five questions; takes about three minutes) is available to help identify potential IP assets. Based on the pre-assessment results, users can take a customized assessment specific to their potential IP protection needs. Customized assessment may take 10-30 minutes. Whether taking the customized or full assessment, users will have the opportunity to assess their awareness of all the general IP categories.
After completing the assessment, the results along with links for suggested training material will be displayed and can be printed or converted to a PDF format for future use and training.
Please note that the information provided herein in the training materials and response to assessment questions is intended for providing general guidance and increasing awareness about potential IP in your business. To get specific legal advice on how to best protect your IP rights of any kind, please contact a qualified IP professional.

text: I've made one and actually found the process enjoyable. I love sewing. I get kind of tired and bored if there's too much prep work (tracing, pressing, folding, etc.). I want to get to the good part and see what it looks like! I didn't care much for how the top itself turned out, so I cut the strips again in the opposite direction and made a postage stamp quilt. It looks MUCH better, lol.

Glendale, Queens
The Bay Ridge Line crosses into Queens over Cooper Avenue and Wycoff Avenue on a 96-foot steel girder bridge from 1913, leaving the cemetery behind to the southeast. The IRT Canarsie Line (L train) goes underground at this point, crossing under the Bay Ridge Line and heading northwest under Wycoff Avenue. St. Felix Avenue parallels the east side of the line for a few blocks.
Cypress Avenue Station
A station here on the Bay Ridge Line opened in 1883, with the name changed to Ridgewood in 1884 and to Cypress Avenue Station in 1891. The bridge is an 85-foot steel stringer built in 1913. There is a bricked-in arch in the bridge wall that seems to have been a stairway up to the station platform. A picture from 1914 shows the elevated line through the area with no station house and, presumably, an at-grade boarding area.
Myrtle Avenue Station
The Bay Ridge Line had a stop at Myrtle Avenue that opened in 1893. While there is no trace of it now, there is quite a bit of forested clearance on both sides of the tracks that would probably leave room for new subway platforms. The bridge is a 114-foot steel stringer built in 1913. As with Cypress Avenue, there was a short platform between the east- and west-bound tracks reached via a staircase from street level. aRRts-Archives had photos from when the station was active but I couldn't find any traces of the old staircase.
The Cypress Hills Street bridge is an othewise unremarkable 78-foot steel stringer bridge from 1913, except for some piers running along the west side. They may have served as the elevated portion of a siding as there are siding rails poking out of the pavement a few hundred feet to the north. The piers now serve as parking place dividers in the parking lot of Glenridge Mews, an upscale apartment building housed in the old Philip Dietz Coal Company Building
Fresh Ponds Station / Bushwick Junction
At 65th Street, the track splits into two branches before entering the Fresh Ponds Yard and meets the east-west LIRR Montauk Branch. Originally, the Bay Ridge Line turned to the west here with stops at Maspeth, Haberman and Penny Bridge before terminating in Long Island City. A separate freight branch forked at Maspeth to procede past a number of industrial customers before ending at the Bushwick Terminal.
Later, the portion of the Bay Ridge Branch to Long Island City became part of the City Terminal Zone, providing service from Long Island City, through the Fresh Ponds Yard on east to Jamaica for transfer to other Long Island destinations.
To the north, the freight line continues as the New York Connecting Railroad, ultimately leading to the Hell Gate Bridge which provides the only direct rail link between Long Island and the U.S. mainland.
The Circumferential Line is proposed pass through the yard headed north on the NYC Connecting Railroad line. While a "Fresh Ponds" station could conceivably be placed near the 65th Street Bridge, such a station might be too close to the BMT Myrtle Avenue Line (M Train) Fresh Pond Road stations to justify the additional expense.
For a detailed overview of the Fresh Ponds rail yard (with diagrams and historic photos), visit aRRt's aRRchives and TrainsAreFun.com.
The Fresh Pond railyard is not readily accessible to civilians, however the New York Connecting Railroad bridge over the LIRR Montauk Branch is briefly visible from the M Train right before the M Train terminates at the Metropolitan Avenue station. The bridge was built in 1916 along with the NYCRR and supposedly is unusually long because the LIRR didn't want the bridge infringing on any of their right of way.

Austin is absolutely right here. For an interesting historical perspective,
RD and ITSA originated from the same basic idea. That is, find a continuous
x-variable and define a cutoff. In the case of ITSA, the x-variable is
"time" and we are interested in both the "step" (first month of the
intervention), and the "trend" (of all the months after the start of the
intervention). In RD, the x-variable is also continuous, but here we care
only about the average effect determined by the local values on either side
of the cutoff.
Given this general perspective, it seems an oddity to combine the two
methods, since they require a x-variable which is going to differ, and a
cutoff, which is going to differ. It seems as if you'd be referring to a
sub-group analysis in which the subgroupings were decided at one level of
the analysis and then compared at the next level (e.g., right side of the
cutoff on the RD analysis, then analyzed at the time cutoff on the ITSA)...
It is difficult to imagine how this could be done in any valid fashion...

Subject: Re: st: Regression discontinuity with interrupted time series
Joshua Mitts <email@example.com>:
You need to be a lot more clear about your scientific model of the
data generating process. I have not read the cited paper, but I am
doubtful about the marriage of RD and ITS. The point of RD is that
outcomes of observations on either side of the cutoff are identical on
average except for treatment status so the jump in outcomes at the
cutoff is the effect of treatment; that is not true if you think
treatment has some dynamic impacts, or in other words the effect of
treatment increases (or decreases) in the assigment variable, so that
you do not want the instantaneous impact of treatment at the cutoff,
but some effect away from the cutoff. Imagine it this way: you have
an announcement event that affects stock prices at noon but you do not
want to compare stock prices at one minute after noon to noon because
you think the event actually changes the time path of investment and
you want changes in market valuation over some period until the
announced policy change takes place. This is no longer a good
situation for RD if you are thinking about comparing across time. You
can still use the dummy for above the cutoff at time t as a dummy for
treatment in periods after t, but the comparison will not have the
clean RD interpretation (where the counterfactual is essentially
observed if the data is dense around the cutoff) if you are using time
as an assignment variable. Can you assume linear trends before and
after time t? You can define time as time minus t so that the constant
is the jump in mean outcomes at t, and the dummy for above the cutoff
is the instrument for treatment; if they are perfectly collinear you
have a "sharp" design but you may want to also estimate a change in
trend after t for the treatment group, for which you may need an
additional instrument--the key here is how the cutoff is defined. Is
the variable that is compared to the cutoff subject to manipulation?
Changing over time? Only examined at time t? If you have an assigment
variable that is not time, you are back in the world of RD, and you
may be better off with a long difference in outcomes (reducing
problems due to measurement error in fixed effect models), e.g. y at
t+5 minus y at t-5, regressed on treatment in the usual RD manner.

I thought I would be the first and leave a comment since no one likes being number one. Anyways my favorite was 90s alternative I loved Green Day (I mean I was literally obsessed with them lol) Anyways some others were Weezer, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, Silverchair (went to their concert in 7th grade) Pearl Jam, and man so so many more!!!!ReplyDelete
My favourite 90's singer is Kylie Minogue and 90's band is The Corrs. My Fave 90's song would be Come Undone by Duran Duran. :DReplyDelete
Happy Easter!
My favorite song or artist from the 90's was "Genie In A Bottle" by Christina Aguilera. LOL. I was like IN LOVE with her music back then. Like NO JOKE. I loved all those bands like N'sync, Backstreet Boys, and Britney Spears! Those we're the MAIN bands and people I listened to in the 90's! They're so freaking AWESOME I swear! Man the days where Justin and Britney we're dating. The good days. :)ReplyDelete
♥Cathy (nice blog by the way:) )
Well, my favorite singer is still Garth Brooks who I was lucky enough to meet once (he was super nice). Best song by him (hands down) would have to be The Dance, which I can listen to non-stop. ^_^ReplyDelete
The Haunting of Orchid Forsythia
Oh, the 90s...ReplyDelete
I had this very strange borderline-obsession with Chumbawamba's Tubthumper album (1997). I discovered their song "Tubthumping" in fifth grade, and I have a very vivid memory of taking the CD to school and playing the song (quite loudly) during indoor recess. I'm pretty sure (a) I had no real idea what it was about (e.g. whiskey, vodka, lager, cider--apple cider, right?) and (b) we got in trouble for playing it and didn't really understand why.
Fun question. :-) I love the WVMP novels, although I haven't read the third.
I loved N*Sync! My room was plastered with their posters and I had a huge crush on Justin Timberlake.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much! I'm a GFC follower (Brooke).
I love The Corrs, I got a copy of most of their albums. Even the MTV and live albums like the unplugged. I enjoy almost every song they release. I remember when we got a program in our school, a friend of mine will be singing a song from different a band then I insist to sing "So Young" from the corrs. She hesitated during the rehearsal since she don't know the song. So she decided to go back from her first choice. But when their time to play I accidentally play the minus one of So Young. She just sing with it :D It was a fun performance. Such a memory ^__^ReplyDelete
Happy Easter!!!
I would love to win Shift.

Thanks you so much!
I have no idea what my favourite 90's song was! I really don't! I know I a fan of Boyzone and Westlife and I loved The Corrs as well. Maybe Meatloaf's 'I'd do anything for Love' because the first album I had in the 90's was his and it belonged to my older brothers but they got me my first tape player and gave me that album to play in it! Don't know though cause there were so many good songs (unforunatley more really bad songs! Lol!) that I'd probably hear another and immediately change my mind! After all Destiny's Child and Christina Aguilera were releasing music in the 90's as well and I loved them as well!ReplyDelete

There are so many good bands and songs from the 90's but to choose one I would select Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U mainly because she has such a unique and unusual voice.

My favorite 90's band is Backstreet Boys, I was so in love with them!
90's Music? hmm. I'm not really a music lover back then but I remember my sister listening to M2M, NSYNC and BSB :DDReplyDelete
Nirvana was my fav. One of the few rally hard rock bands at that time.ReplyDelete
alterlisa AT yahoo DOT com
90s music...? Let's see, I was a toddler back then. But I'd say Nirvana (although I love Green Day lots too). I've had Smells Like Teen Spirit stuck in my head for weeks at a time after playing way too much Guitar Hero to be considered healthy. That song (and Guitar Hero) grew into my Nirvana obsession, I guess. I'm not as obsessed as I once used to be though. I think that might be because I haven't played Guitar Hero in months....ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway!
90s music...hmmm...I can't quite remember all the bands. But basically the very very first NOW CD was a good one. I remember actually liking Hanson and "Mmbop"!! Spice Girls, NYSYNC more than Backstreet Boys. A lot of that pop stuff!ReplyDelete
Oooh what stinks is that I can't think of anything right now! I do like 90s music but my brain is going flat at this and not being able to remember names or titles!
Old Follower
Hiya! Thank for such an awesome giveaway. 90s music eh? That's a tough one. There were surprisingly some great musicians about in the decade. I mean Milli Vanilli (I AM JOKING!!)ReplyDelete
No seriously... Mariah Carey was at her best during the 90s, she had some fab tunes then. But I must admit to a bit of a thing for the boy bands... Take That, Westlife, New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys!! I'm sad, I know!
Happy Easter
i was only a baby in the 90s..lol. so i'll just say i love led zeppelin and katy perry. two random ones.ReplyDelete

I'm all over the board. Like most genres except Rap. I prefer to understand the words. Now doesn't that date me!!!!Darnit nothing is sticking in the old brain...I liked Nirvana, Madonna, Green Day, Brookes & Dunn, Boys 2 Men. Nope can't come up with a favorite. Sorry!!ReplyDelete

let's see...I was still small back then. But now I've started up listening to some 90's music lol! I love Green Day, and Nirvana, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers
thanks for the giveaway!
In the 90s I was huge into the boy bands. Started with NKOTB. Then there was 98 Degrees, 'NSYNC, BSB. You name it, I loved them. Heck I even loved O-Town.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance.
I was born in 1995 so I don't have much idea about the songs in the 90s. I'm gonna choose NSync and A1 since boy bands are the only ones I can think of. I loved I Drive Myself Crazy and Tearin' Up My Heart. I'm a follower.ReplyDelete

Well the band I love has spanned thru the 90's the song comes from Bon Jovi which this song is from the 90's Keep The Faith it has special meaning for me.ReplyDelete
I'm a proud follower!ReplyDelete
I'm gonna have to be typical and say that my fave band of the 90's was and will always be the Spice Girls. They're the very essence of what the 90's were. Fun, flirty and just plain crazy.
I look back now and shake my head, but I still love their music (and yes, I know I'm loosing cool points by admitting it) and still listen to them all the time.
Every time I hear one of their songs I remember the fun I had as a young girl, dancing around my room and singing along (off key, but who cared).
Ahhh, the good ol' days....
Happy Easter Amanda!
Ok, well I was born in the 90s so was pretty young to be into music but I used to love the Spice Girls. I had a video of the movie Spice World, and used to watch it sooo much. And I made up dances to some of their songs. I guess they're good but to my young, easily influenced mind they were awesome. Basically they're a part of my childhood.ReplyDelete

And OMG this is quite the embarrassing question no?? XD I'm like everyone else and I was a huge fan of Britney Spears, Christina Aqualira (sp?), NSync, Backstreet boys, Mariah Carey, Boyz to Men, Bone Thugs and Harmony just to name a few.
And I will throw in a fascinating/interesting fact for the owner of this blog ;) No laughing allowed either...
I used to have such a crush on J.C. that I created an email swtlilangel4jc @ yahoo dot com... And yes that's sweet little angel for J.C. lol XD I claim now that I'm 28 that it means swt lil angel for Jonathon (my son) and Chelsea *grins* :D
My favorite 90's band was definitely The Backstreet Boys, I was obsessed. My bedroom walls were covered with posters of them. My sister & I used to make up our own dances to the songs as well as learn the music video choreography, lol! Also my best friend got me tickets to their concert my senior year of high school because I never got to see them back in the late 90's when I was in elementary/middle school (oh how embarrassing).ReplyDelete
Such a great question to ask!
I am a GFC follower
I can listen to most anything but my favourite songs are always associated with memories - I graduated high school in 1992 and Life is A Highway by Tom Cochrane was kinda an anthem, I got married in 1995 and my husband chose Bon Jovi's "Always" for us to dance to at the reception, my oldest daughter born in 1996 is named for an Aerosmith song (Simoriah), and in late 1999 I lost a friend and we played Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz at her funeral by her request. SO they all are special - and several moreReplyDelete

But I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Jeri's music references in Shade and Shift. How many teens today are lucky and awesome enough to know who the Dropkick Murphys are?! I really want to read the WVMP books.

The 90s (early years) is also my favorite music era. I listened to a lot of grunge and rock. Some of my favorite bands were (and still are) Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, STP, Primus, and Pearl Jam. I LOVE Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York album and my favorite song on it is their cover of the Vaselines song "Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam"ReplyDelete

I love the 90's not only for the style but for the music as well! I was so young in the 90's I was born in 92 and only mostly remember the late 90's yep. I know. I'm young! All the "bands" I used to listen to during that time were mostly boybands since my older sister was a teen at that time and was very much in love with them and you know how it works. Monkey see Monkey do. I was 7 when the 90's ended! haha. Anyways, there was the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, N'sync, Boyzone, Westlife, Blue and W*i*t*c*h. Now, I feel like listening to them again! But they're all in tapes and we don't have a tape receiver anymore. -.- Oh how the times have changed!ReplyDelete

I can't remember much about the 90's but I remember liking NSYNC's Tearin' Up My Heart a lot. I remember me and my sister (she was so little at that time) dancing along to their song. Also Backstreet Boy's Get Down song. I remember our dance step was like bouncing around in sitting position like rabbits (because of 'get down, get down and move it all around').

Oh man, now if you had asked about the 80's music, i would totally rock that...because Im a total 80's girl...Heavy metal girl all the way, with the big hair any everything...I remember the first day I moved to college with my best friend, wearing our big hair, ripped jeans with black sharpie writing all over them, and out Bon Jovi and Motley Crue posters hanging on our wall...the rest of the floor, were preppies...well, after we met and became BIG TIME friends, they finally told us that they thought we were potheads...funny because we had never tried the stuff...ReplyDelete

Thank you for the giveaway :) I listened to things like Def Leppard and AC/DC in the early part of the 90s.ReplyDelete
I really got into dance music after that. There was a whole phase of listening to Culture Beat. They sang that Mr. Vain song. I cranked the tunes on my car stereo and my friends and I drove around everywhere with dance music blasting. We also loved to play the Night at the Roxbury soundtrack.
I left town in the later 90s and went away to university. I met a friend who was really into Metallica, so I listened to Fuel a lot with him. He was obsessed with that song.

My love for Nirvana transformed into an obsession with Foo Fighters (especially since Dave Grohl did the entire first album himself, and I absolutely heart him). I grew up in a town that had 2 Spanish radio stations, an oldie station, and three country music stations, so MTV was how I got all my music "news" and my car's tape player got a workout.

I was quite little then, but I loved *NSYNC (hello, Justin Timberlake?), Backstreet Boys, of course (I think I was in love with Nick and I was fighting over him with my cousins LOL), AQUA (loved Barbie Girl!) and my fave was Spice Girls.<3 Me and my girlfriends at the time even had a band after them and we were singing with the hairbrush as a mic in the mirror and trying to remember the dances moves!LMAO And btw, I was Mel C. :D
P.S. Just listened to Spice Girls - Wannabe and I realized I still know the lyrics! Crazy!:))ReplyDelete
Oh, the 90s... I think I listened a lot to the Spice Girls (I was Baby Spice, Emma xD), and in the late 90s to Britney Spears' first album... I think whenever one of their songs plays on the radio I can still sing along. Lol, please don't hold it against me, in the 90s I was a kid; if you had asked me about the 00s, when I was a teen, the answer might be more interesting... ;)ReplyDelete
Thanks a lot for the giveaway! =D

I didn't like a lot of 90s stuff, but one of my absolute favorite songs is from the 90s - The Freshman by The Verve Pipe. I do wish though that they were allowed to have the original lyrics with said "we were only young then" instead of "we were only freshman" (I guess it would have a different title, then, huh?).ReplyDelete

Alright, I've braced myself for the heckling from the peanut gallery but ... Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go on. I know, I know, it was played to death and then some. But it's one of those things that you love, then sicken of, then love again ad infinitum. And if you've got the movie playing in your mind, it's great for a bawl :)ReplyDelete

Oh Gosh... Favorite band from the 90's? I'm so going to stain my reputation by saying this, but... I was OBSESSED with Nsync! LOL I used to like axé (a type of brazilian music - that, btw, is not very good) a lot, until one of my best friends introduced me to the world of Boy Bands. Oh, I got completely sucked in by it: I started listening to Backstreet Boys, Five and, of course, Nsync. I remember this friend of mine taped all their songs for me (ON A CASSETE TAPE! Do you even remember what that is? I still have mine ;P HAHAHA) and I would listen to it NONSTOP! And obviously I would dance and sing at the top of lungs (I DRIIIIIVE MYSEEEELF CRAAAAZY, CRAAAAZY, WANTING YOU THE WAY THAT I DOOOO UUHHH UUUUH) Well, you get the idea. I bought posters of them and put it on my walls and like that wasn't enought I DREW LITTLE HEARTS all around JC (because I liked him the most. At the time I was like: Justin, who?) Yeah... dark times, my friend. But I had fun =) Today this friend of mine likes death metal and I like indie music. Go figure, right?
I honestly can't choose an absolute favorite 90's band...there were so many great bands from that decade!! I absolutely ADOREDReplyDelete
-Smashing Pumpkins
-Foo Fighters
-Weezer (they were even my first concert at 14, when their blue album debuted in 94!)
-Pearl Jam
I was a teenager during the grunge era...i wore kicks when they were called One Stars and baggy jeans with flannel (I'm so glad that fashion is out and I wish my mom had taught me better, but I've since learned). The JNCO jeans and tiny babydoll tees...god the 90's were great!
Oh my gosh, 90's music? Does LFO count? I loved them in middle school. LOL. Girl on TV? My jam. Wow, that is so embarrassing. I found myself bopping to N*Sync too, even say them in concert. Byebyebye ;)ReplyDelete

Let me see, my favorite 90's band has to be Spice Girls. I really didn't like them until I'd say 1999, a group of my friends decided to do Spice Girls for our 8th grade talent show. I remember sitting in the audience, I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. The singing wasn't bad but the dancing was really horrible, one person tripped another, someone else got an elbow to an eye, and then someone fell into the stage curtains. As long as I live Spice Girls will be my favorite 90's band. :)ReplyDelete

There is so much I think of for 90s music!! I fell in love with Sarah Mclachaln's music in the 90s. I remember loving Mr. Big's "To Be With You". My husband and I who had a long distance relationship used to listen to Collective Soul and sing together over the phone to their songs. And finally, One Headlight is a song that is definitive of the 90s for me!
I don't really like the music in the 90's but I listened N'sync, Backstreet Boys and my favorite song was Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely- Backstreet Boys. The fun is how he was Justin Timberlake back then and how he is now.ReplyDelete

Some songs that remember me the 90s in Brazil are: O Universo Precisa de Vocês (Power Rangers) [Sandy & Jr], Vai Ter Que Rebolar [Sandy & Jr.], Não Direi [Hércules], Tudo Tudo [Chiquititas] and also Doce Mel [Xuxa]. OMG! I was really just a child :)

Thanks again,
I have a lot of favourites from the 90's but I think one of my favourites has to be the Cranberries.I love the indiepop, Irish folk sound that they have.There sound is unique as is Dolores Riordan.Who hasn't heard the song "Linger" and hasn't sung along to it.Recently they reunited to make a reunion album and tour.you can follow Dolores @DolORiordon on twitter.ReplyDelete
Of course the 90's also had Grunge music out of California.Nirvanna ,Smashing pumpkins all gave a new feel to the music scene.their music style continues to be felt in the music genre as the rifts and the feel of the music is continued in other forms as well as advancing the high energy concerts artists are expected to give because of the grunge band.
I was very little in the '90 but I remember listening to Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys (please, please, don't judge a girl by the music of her very early youth!)ReplyDelete

I love all his songs, but if I had to name just one, it would be The Thunder Rolls.
No contest. Alice In Chains is by far the winner for my favorite 90s band. Yes, I did the whole grunge thing and loved every minute of it.ReplyDelete

The only songs I really remember listening to in the 90s are I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) by Meat Loaf (I remember it because my dad loved them and my mom had a hissy fit when she found out he taught me all of the words) and C'mon N' Ride It (The Train) by Quad City DJ's (I was convinced it said 'come on Karate Train, karate' so that's how I always sang it). I was a pretty awesome kid.ReplyDelete
Nirvana and The Cranberries were some of my favourites. Every time I hear their songs i get whiplash from my crazy hair head nods. Some songs that are insanely whiplashy are Zombie (Cranberries) and Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana) (for the latter you should really see me playing it on Rock Band and yes i'm usually on microphone).ReplyDelete

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Nobody wants to hear all the things that are "wrong" with their idea. A bad criticizer uses any opportunity to make themselves feel smart or superior by pointing out everything that they think is bad about an idea. They take advantage of the fact that early ideas will inherently have many flaws and imperfections and they assume that they are in possession of the only "correct" idea.
Good criticism serves to give perspective and help the creator evolve the idea into a better solution. A good criticizer knows that early ideas will always have flaws. A good critic asks lots of questions to try to fully understand the situation before they give their feedback. Additionally, good feedback must avoid the use of negative energy. It is certainly possible to be very critical about an idea without using negative remarks that disrespect the creator and put this person on the defensive.
Instead of pointing out what is wrong, try to offer suggestions. For example, instead of saying, "That knob is way too big!" try saying, "Do you think a smaller knob would allow people with smaller hands to use it more comfortably?" Remember that what you dislike is not the same as what is bad. Try to keep personal opinions to yourself.
Another useful technique is to alternate positive and negative remarks. Point out something that is good for each thing that needs changing. For example, "This button is just the right size and shape, maybe we should think about adjusting the size of this knob to match it." It's like Mary Poppins sang, "A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down."

"There's nothing quite like a real train conductor to add color to a quotidian commute" --Anita Diamant.
The peg mnemonic system uses paired associations, just like the link and loci systems, with one advantage - you can recall the items in a non-sequential order.
To use the system, you will need to pre-memorize a set of concrete nouns that you will use to make your associations. These concrete nouns are chosen to correspond to the numbers in a list. This example list even has a nursery rhyme about it, "one two buckle my shoe, three four shut the door..."
One -- Bun
Two -- Shoe
Three -- Tree
Four -- Door
Five -- Hive
Six -- Sticks
Seven -- Heaven
Eight -- Gate
Nine -- Wine
Ten -- Hen
Once you have this list memorized (the rhymes with the numbers will make this much easier), you can use it to make visual association just as you do for the link or loci systems. Now, if you need to recall the eighth item, simply recall the word for eight (gate) and recall what you have associated with that word. Peg words up to the number 20 can easily be made to remember longer lists.

Name for a horse who is a complete bastard and has no respect for people. This animal is dangerous to be around and will often try to bite or kick its handler.
You better watch out for Nigger Death over there. That son of a bitch will bite your ass if you get to close. He needs a good beating or a whipping to straighten him out.

Colombia is the only South American country with coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Three mighty north-south Andean cordilleras separate the western coastal lowlands from the almost empty eastern jungles, with 54 percent of Colombia's land but only 3 percent of the people. Most Colombians are of mixed ethnicity; about 20 percent claim European descent. Native Indians, about one percent of the population, live in the eastern jungles.
The Andes contribute to the concentration of Colombia's people into separate clusters. Some live in the Caribbean lowlands in cities like Barranquilla and Cartagena; some live in isolated mountain valleys in cities like Cali and Medellin. Bogotá, the capital and largest city, is in a remote mountain basin at 2,500 meters (8,200 feet).
Colombia has had a turbulent history. Civil war (1899-1902) claimed 100,000 lives, and La Violencia (1948-1957) cost 300,000 more. Starting in the 1980s, as the government worked with the U.S. to disrupt the lucrative illicit drug trade, violence came from cocaine traffickers, who targeted judges, newspaper editors, and community officials. The drug cartels continue to be a disruptive force into the 21st century, in spite of efforts to arrest the more powerful leaders.
Farmers raise world-renowned coffee on the Andean slopes. Colombia sells much of the world's emeralds and considerable amounts of gold, silver, and platinum and has the continent's highest coal production—most from the Guajira Peninsula. However, oil development suffers from sabotage by guerrilla groups, and large parts of Colombia are beyond government control.

The title is misleading, it also about smokeless powder
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
yea what good is a background check when you have a terrorist mole with a CLEAN record that has been living here for 10 years?
what a crock--
got a slam fire here!
Good Lord,,,,CONCENTRATE ON THE CROOKS!!!!!! Leave the honest folks alone,,,, you just may need to depend on us someday for "back up" if things continue as they are around the world.
This just seems to me to be something they just haven't seemed considered before, they'd better,,, we just might just be the last line of defense for this country when all is said and done! Dumb ass's,,,,,,
If we don't stop them now, they won't stop until I have to regester my Ducane grill in order to fill my LP tank.Time to start Counting coup.
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
Enforcement, NOT Amnesty!!!!!!
"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
regulating reloading now, so to further control the access to ammo,
in february the wife and I went into bass pro and saw the shelves bare of most popular ammo and reloading powder with small amounts of various primers. but there was plenty of Black powder subsitute (Pyrodex) powder and pellets and 209 shotgun primers
I turned to the wife and said might as well stock up on this while i can and low and behold
along comes another Lautenberg regulation
I should be a fortune teller
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
COUNTING COUP my a$$. It's time to start filling possibles bags with left ears.
LautenRat is from Nuevo Yersey. My brother lives there. He has to go through more crap to buy a BB pistol than I do to buy a short barreled shotgun here in Florida. They also have one-a-month rules and to buy ammunition and reloading supplies, you need a FireArms ID card.
Hell, to buy BB's you need a Firearms ID card.
(former joysey resident here)
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."

Serum varicella immunoglobulin G antibody level
This test looks for antibodies in your blood that your body makes against the varicella-zoster virus.
The varicella-zoster virus is very contagious. It can cause two health problems: chickenpox and shingles. When you become infected with the virus for the first time, it causes chickenpox. After having chickenpox, most people become immune to the virus for the rest of their life and can't get chickenpox again.
But after the first illness, the virus becomes dormant and "hides" in nerves in your body. Later in your life, the virus can become active again, causing a painful rash called shingles, or herpes zoster.
You might have this test if your doctor needs to find out whether you are likely to develop a varicella infection. This information can help health care workers who may work with patients who have the virus.
This test can also help your doctor find out whether you have chickenpox if the diagnosis isn't clear. Symptoms of chickenpox include:
Sore throat
Distinctive rash around the body a day or two after other symptoms begin
The rash lasts for about two weeks and can spread until all the spots on the skin have crusted over.
You aren't likely to need any other tests.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
If testing is done to see if you are at risk of developing an infection and it finds varicella-related immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in your blood, it means you are immune because of having had a chickenpox infection or having been immunized successfully.
If your health care provider suspects that you have chickenpox, your IgG levels can point to an infection if they rise over several weeks. In these cases, this test is usually needed only if your health care provider is unsure about the diagnosis after examining you.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Having a history of chickenpox or vaccination against the disease can affect your results.
You don't need to prepare for this test.
