Oh! Woe is me, it's the end of the month and the chocolate will soon be gone. I have had so much fun with this Month of Solid Chocolate, though, that I think it should be a yearly event. So, I am giving you notice. I will be on the look out for chocolate making and baking bloggers to come visit in 2014!
In the meantime, the last two days will be mine. Tomorrow is the first reveal of a new blogging challenge that I have joined. Thank all the Powers that be that I was able to make something chocolate and still be part of the group. Come by to see what it's all about and maybe join in the fun.
And now that all of that housekeeping is done, on to these cookies. Blossom cookies are favorites with my husband and children. Oddly enough, there are none on this site! Never fear, I have a few already made and photographed. Just in time for spring, it will be blossoming cookies all over. Most of my blossom obsession stems from my weakness for after holiday sales. I buy bags and bags of candy and then hide it in my closet away from foraging family members. Actually, my closet has become something of a pantry away from the pantry. I have chips, marshmallows, drink pouches, candy, and even shortening hiding in there.
You see, some of my children always take a lunch to school while the others always buy. I have not been able to convince the buying children that I need to have a supply of food for the taking children. In their minds, bags of chips and boxes of juice should be fair game for everyone. Hence my hidden closet stash. Don't ask about the shortening. I have too many people reading this who know me in real life to be able to explain that one and not have it get back to the one from whom I am hiding it.
These cookies are yet again another variation of a cake mix cookie that I posted way, way WAY back in 2009. I have come to rely on quick mix cookies more often as my kids have gotten older and busier. Did I tell you that my son was accepted into college? I will tell you more later. He is going to The Good Guy and my alma mater.
You are probably wondering if I will EVER get to the recipe. Usually my posts are much more succinct. My mind is all over the place tonight. I think my brain is lamenting the end of the chocolate, too. Before I start rambling any further, I had better just get to the cookies.
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup oil or butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 bag of mint truffle Hershey kisses
- Mix cake mix, eggs, oil and vanilla in a large bowl.
- Scoop by rounded teaspoon onto baking sheets.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
- As soon as the cookies leave the oven, press a candy into the center of each cookie.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Date of Stay: June, 2012
Nice, well maintained Thousand Trails park with lots of activities. There was no 50 amp service and it was over 100 a couple of days so we really missed having the extra power. Sites are dirt, but lots of trees. Got good satellite and fair cell service (At&T) and internet (Verizon MiFi) with booster. Only real problem we saw, was the road to the park. It is only wide enough for one rig going one direction. If you meet another rig coming the other way, one of you will have to back up quite a distance. It would be nice if they could enforce having rigs go out before noon and rigs come in after noon. I'm surprised there hasn't been any fatalities with the current setup. We would definitely camp here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2012
Very nice park with large sites. Adult pool and spa and separate family pool. Two rec centers, one of adults and one for families. Great cafe - good food and very reasonable prices. The only downsides were NO cell service, very limited Wi-Fi and lax maintenance as far as weed control. The weeds around the areas were 3 feet high! Also, the jets in the adult spa were not working. Once they get these maintenance issues taken care of, it will be a great place. We will definitely return.
Date of Stay: January, 2012
This is a very nice park -- clean, well manicured with gravel and a few desert plants. Hosts were very friendly and helpful upon check-in. Sites are all gravel with concrete patio pads and quite large. The pool and hot tub were clean and well taken care of. The attached winery is quite nice and has complimentary tastings. Rate reflects ROD rate. We would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: January, 2012
If you like the sound of train horns multiple times an hour, 24 hours a day -- this is the park for you! Thousand Trails should be embarrassed to have their name on this park. One half to three quarters of their electrical towers do not work. Security was non-existent, Gate was always open, they passed out the prior month's schedule of activities upon check in because they didn't have a current one due to the fact that the manager was on vacation. The park is mainly for full-time residents who cover their sites with trash and old rusted car parts. Dogs run free with no enforcement of leash rules. We finally found a site with working 50 amp, pull through and level. We stayed 3 weeks but were very glad to move on to our next reservation. We will not camp here again.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
Friendly staff, cheerful and helpful. Pretty wooded area, but sites are very unlevel and no amount of leveling in the coach helped. Was able to get good satellite reception but no Wi-Fi. Park is fairly small, but quite comfortable. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
Very nice staff and quite helpful. Large gravel sites with 50 amp available. Pull-throughs available and good sight lines for satellite. Restaurant nearby called Catfish Haven has great selection of pies at a fair price.
Date of Stay: November, 2011
Staff and Managers are very friendly and helpful. Beautiful area, although there is no longer water in the lake due to the drought. White-tail deer are everywhere and wait to be fed at your site. Had a great Thanksgiving Dinner potluck and the park provided the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and stuffing. Totally enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
This is a beautiful park if you are a member. However, we stayed here under Coast to Coast and had a very limited number of areas from which to choose a site, in the very back of the park. The sites in the back are very unlevel, small, almost impossible to get satellite and no possible way to get Wi-Fi. Park is huge. It took 15 minutes to drive from our site to the entrance of the park. Plenty of shows and restaurants close by once you get out of the park. Would stay again if we could find a level site.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
Very nice, friendly park. Large pull-through sites with concrete pads and a picnic table. Were pleased that, as ROD members, we were relegated to the back section. Nice lake with lots of white pelicans and ducks. We were here over Halloween and they had great activities for the kids, including trick-or-treating. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
It is obvious that nobody cares about this park. When we arrived at 2:00 pm there was a note on the door to pick our site and someone would be by later to collect money. That someone was the owners' grandson who decided to come to each site in his car that badly needed a muffler. He was nice and friendly, but pretty much without a clue. Sites are narrow, gravel, with little patches of grass on the sides. Grasshoppers and wasps are everywhere. Several permanent residents whose dogs run without leashes and bark constantly. Right next to a cattle auction and sale barn so the flies are also horrible. People wandering around the sites all night. The Wi-Fi is good, as is the cable TV. We would not stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Decent park very close to the Wall Drugstore. Pads are gravel and dirt. Owner was very nice and friendly. 50 amp was $2/night more. Small pool that was clean. We would stay here again for a night.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
Very nice, large park. Only had 30 amp available. Sites are long, but narrow. Picnic tables sit next to each neighbors sewer hookup. Nice facilities with a swimming pool, two basketball courts, large park-like grassy area, paved roads between sites. Sites are gravel. Lots of grasshoppers and crickets. The 30 amp was an issue as it was very hot and humid and we needed to run the AC pretty constantly. Laundry room was clean, but costs $2.00 for each wash and $2.00 for each dry. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This is a much older park with a lot of residents in very old units. Camp hosts were outstanding -- even gave us a bag of home made cookies at registration. Park held a BBQ on July 3rd and provided all meat. All guests brought side dishes. Very nice. Sites are tight and close together. Lots of highway noise and a train horns through every night. Make sure you eat at Saginaws in town at least once. A real treasure. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
What a beautiful place this is! The owners and camp hosts were outstanding. The sites and whole park were clean, well maintained, plenty of shade trees. There was some road noise, but not awful. We even had 3 deer that wandered into the park for a visit. We will stay here again every chance we get.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
Beautiful area but park was very muddy and boggy. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Sunday brunch was nice. Park was noisy with about 100 people in tents that had their festivities in the wee hours of Friday and Saturday nights. Quiet time was not enforced. Wi-Fi only available in the clubhouse. Owners and managers working very hard to get the park in shape and trying to recover from January floods. We would return in a drier season.

Mel Gibson has been 'arrested' in New Mexico for his new movie Blood Father.
The thriller, starring William H. Macy and Elisabeth Röhm, is set for release in 2015 and sees Mel's character reunite with his rebellious teenage daughter on the run from drug dealers who are intent on killing her.
Gibson, who has had his fair share of brushes with the law in the past, was seen dressed in a suit walking into the courthouse as his ex-con character prepared to face judgement after turning himself in at the jail.
The two-time Oscar-winner was arrested for DUI on July 28 in 2006 after an open container of alcohol was discovered in his vehicle. Adding fuel to the fire, he was heard shouting anti-Semitic abuse at the officer who arrested him.
The actor offered several formal apologies after the incident and even sought rehabilitation from alcoholism however the fiasco took a toll on his reputation and Mel appeared in very few movies until 2010 when he was seen in Edge of Darkness.
In July 2010 Gibson had yet another run in with the law when he was served with a domestic violence-related restraining order after he allegedly threatened his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva and was subsequently unable to go near her and her daughter Lucia.
The Expendables 3 which is in cinemas on August 15 will bring Gibson back to the big screen. Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzeneggar Jet Li, Harrison Ford and Antonio Banderas co-star in the explosive action-thriller which is currently in the post production stage.Reuse content

When the new generation of the Honda (NYSE:HMC) Accord Hybrid was revealed on paper, things were looking quite positive for the sedan, which reportedly offered a combined fuel economy rating of 47 miles per gallon, thanks to a stellar 50 mile per gallon city rating from the Environmental Protection Agency.
However, on its recent outing with the new car, Consumer Reports found that the Accord wasn't able to live up to its promised 47 miles per gallon, instead settling around 40 miles per gallon — still commendable for a car in its class, but well off the mark advertised.
"Testers found the Accord Hybrid has a very impressive hybrid system that smoothly transitions between battery and engine power," the publication said. "To save fuel, even at highway speeds, the engine willingly shuts off as soon as drivers lift their foot off the gas pedal." The site, which is well known for its hands-on approach to testing, was careful to emphasize the testing procedure of the EPA over Honda's own claims for the capabilities of the car. After all, it's not the first time that the EPA's methodology has fudged the results.
Somewhat recently, Ford (NYSE:F) was forced to lower the official fuel economy ratings on its C-Max hybrid, from 47 to 43. After playing with the software and employing other tricks to bring fuel economy up, it was determined that the EPA's policy of allowing vehicles on similar platforms to share statistics was to blame, as the number had been assigned since it shared its underpinnings and guts with the Ford Fusion hybrid — a sleeker, more aerodynamic car that actually does achieve 47 miles per gallon.
"We've found that the EPA tests often exaggerate the fuel-economy of hybrids," said Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing at Consumer Reports. The Honda Accord is one of Consumer Reports' highest-rated vehicles in its class, but even with fuel economy aside, the hybrid version had trouble besting its gasoline-only sibling in CR's battery of tests.

The Filigree Ball HTML version
21. The Heart Of The Puzzle
The next morning I swallowed my pride and sought out Durbin. He had superintended
the removal of Mrs. Jeffrey's effects from the southwest chamber, and should know, if
any one, where this filigree ball was now to be found. Doubtless it had been returned with
the other things to Mr. Jeffrey, and yet, who knows? Durbin is sly and some inkling of its
value as a clue may have entered his mind. If so, it would be anywhere but in Mr.
Jeffrey's or Miss Tuttle's possession.
To test my rival's knowledge of and interest in this seemingly trivial object, I stooped to
what I can but consider a pardonable subterfuge. Greeting him in the offhand way least
likely to develop his suspicion, I told him that I had a great idea in connection with the
Jeffrey case and that the clue to it lay in a little gold ball which Mrs. Jeffrey sometimes
wore and upon which she set great store. So far I spoke the truth. It had been given her by
some one - not Mr. Jeffrey - and I believed, though I did not know, that it contained a
miniature portrait which it might be to our advantage to see.
I expected his lip to curl; but for a wonder it maintained its noncommittal aspect, though I
was sure that I caught a slight, very slight, gleam of curiosity lighting up for a moment
his calm, gray eye.
"You are on a fantastic trail," he sneered, and that was all.
But I had not expected more. I had merely wished to learn what place, if any, this filigree
ball held in his own suspicions, and in case he had overlooked it, to jog his curiosity so
that he would in some way betray its whereabouts.
That, for all its seeming inconsequence, it did hold some place in his mind was evident
enough to those who knew him; but that it was within reach or obtainable by any ordinary
means was not so plain. Indeed, I very soon became convinced that he, for one, had no
idea where it was, or after the suggestive hint I had given him he would never have
wasted a half-hour on me. What was I to do then? Tell my story to the major and depend
on him to push the matter to its proper conclusion? "Not yet," whispered pride. "Durbin
thinks you a fool. Wait till you can show your whole hand before calling attention to your
cards." But it was hard not to betray my excitement and to act the fool they considered
me when the boys twitted me about this famous golden charm and asked what great result
had followed my night in the Moore house. But remembering that he who laughs last
laughs best, and that the cause of mirth was not yet over between Durbin and myself, I
was able to preserve an impassive exterior even when I came under the major's eye. I
found myself amply repaid when one of the boys who had studiously avoided chaffing
me dropped the following words in my ear:
"I don't know what your interest is in the small gold charm you were talking about, but
you have done some good work in this case and I don't mind telling you what I know
about it. That little gold ball has caused the police much trouble. It is on the list of effects

The cost of healthcare in the United States keeps rising. Costs are so out of control that the leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States is medical bills. The cost of Long Term care for the elderly and disabled is the worst. Home care services (attendant care) start at $30,000 a year for minimal hours. Nursing home care now averages $75,000 a year and rising. Unless you plan on making at least $100,000 a year or more in your retirement or can guarantee you will never get sick or have an accident THIS AFFECTS YOU!!!!
In 1993 the United States Congress passed the OBRA '93 which required that all 50 states recover all Medicaid money paid out to provide Home Care Services (attendant care) and Nursing Home services. It is called the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP). Congress did not limit how the states would collect money from the families of the recipient. It specifically targets and discriminates against the elderly and disabled working class. In other words Congress has mandated that states terrorize the elderly and disabled and make them the scapegoats for their poor budgeting.
Most jobs do not pay enough money to cover the cost of attendant care services so the disabled cannot afford their care to get to work. Most people in their retirement do not make enough to pay for home care or nursing home care for just one person. People have to ask for assistance with the cost from their state governments. In order to be eligible to receive help the elderly and disabled have to take a vow of poverty and promise never to work or live above the poverty line. Their families suffer as well. So the disabled are kept from ever working (that's why unemployment among physically disabled with mobility issues is 69%) and the elderly are punished for needing help and not making $100,00 or more in their retirement (like members of Congress).
After being forced into poverty since they have no choice, either get their needs met or not, they cannot make ends meet and are stripped of everything they worked for except their home and a car. No one else in the family receives medical help, they have to pay for their medical themselves with money they do not have. So they either go into debt or do not seek medical attention when needed. Upon the death of the Medicaid recipient the family forced into poverty is now handed a bill from the state expecting payment for all the money the state spent on Long Term care and any other services. It does not matter that you and your spouse have paid Social Security tax all your life.
Since the family was forced into poverty they cannot pay the bill so the state takes what assets they do have - their homes, property, bank accounts, Trust Funds, etc. Whatever the family has that is worth anything. Liens are put on homes.
Families are responsible for paying a bill that they and the recipient have absolutely no control over. The state sets the rate of pay and then pays the agency the same amount each month whether services are provided or not. The state has no idea if services were provided because the client is not involved at all. The family has no idea what the state is paying out to the agency because al transactions are kept strictly between the agency and the state. The agency can charge for hours and supplies they never provided and the family is stuck with the bill. This predatory loan is a blank check the state writes and then holds the family responsible.
Everything you worked for and built up to leave your family is taken by the state government!!!! You are not allowed to leave your family ANYTHING!!!! That is your punishment for not making $100,000 or more in your retirement or for being disabled!!!!
As a result many people opt out of assistance and die at home never receiving the care they needed. The caregivers, usually the spouse or an adult child, get ill and die at a much younger age because of the incredible demands on caregivers, emotionally and physically.
Congress claims this is necessary to defray the cost of Medicaid yet they do not have a problem with spending $27 billion on Pork Barrel Projects in 1996 and $92 billion on corporate welfare (that's cash not tax cuts)to Fortune 500 companies (not small businesses, but oil companies and corporations) in 1996. Those amounts increase every year exponentially!!! There are no restrictions to be eligible for Corporate welfare and they NEVER have to pay it back, unlike Medicare and Medicaid!
The Department of Health and Human Services has studied the recovery rates for all the states. At best states only recover less than 1% of what they paid out. By the time court fees and filing fees and labor costs are calculated many states found that it actually was costing tax payers money not saving it!
Unless you plan on making at least $100,000 a year or more in your retirement or can guarantee you will never get sick or have an accident THIS IS YOUR FUTURE!!!!
This is a Federally endorsed predatory loan, NOT welfare, and an act of terrorism against American workers. If you never work and never marry and have a family you are safe. Tell congress what you think of this barbaric act of legislation. Tell them to stop this form of home grown terrorism on hard working people. The government does not have the right to take everything youu have built up and worked for away from your family. It specifically targets and discriminates against the elderly and disabled. It is an unconstitutional law and has gone on too long. Sign the petition and tell Congress to reverse this immoral terror on the American people. Let Americans keep what they have worked for!
For more information go to http:// healthcare2008.bravehost.com
We the undersigned urge you to reverse the OBRA '93 Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP). This program requires states to recover money paid to people receiving assistance with the cost of long term care such as attendant care and nursing home care through Medicaid. It makes families pay back the money upon the recipient's death after years of living in poverty in order for the recipient to get their medical care. It is immoral and unconstitutional to make the American people pay for programs they have already paid for with their Social Security taxes. In many states the recovery program is costing tax payers money not saving it.
MERP specifically targets and discriminates against the elderly and disabled for needing long term care. It punishes Americans for working and building up assets and having families. If the recipients never worked or bought homes or had families they would be safe from this horrid predatory loan.
It is under the guise of defraying the cost of Medicaid yet in 1996 Congress spent over $27 billion on Pork Barrel projects and $92 billion in corporate welfare to Fortune 500 companies with the American people's money. None of these recipients needed the money nor did they have to pay any of it back. So why should Americans pay back something they already paid into and IS medically necessary?
Too many people are opting out of Medicaid to save their homes from recovery so they have something to leave their families. They are not receiving medical care and their families are taking on the burden for their care alone.
The Federal government is engaging in predatory loans, feeding off the most vulnerable and needy in our communities. It is an act of discrimination and terrorizes our elderly and disabled. The United States government has made the elderly and disabled liabilities to their own families.
Families are responsible for paying for a bill that they and the recipient have absolutely no control over. The state sets the rate of pay and then pays the agency the same amount each month whether services are provided or not. The state has no idea if services were provided because the client is not involved at all. The family has no idea what the state is paying out to the agency because all transactions are kept strictly between the agency and the state. The agency can charge for hours and supplies they never provided and the family is stuck with the bill. This predatory loan is a blank check the state writes and then holds the family responsible.
It has gone on too long and too many people have suffered as a result. Families caring for an aged or disabled family member need help. It is stressful enough caring for someone without the state and federal government hovering at their door waiting to pounce and seize a lifetime of working and building. Americans should not be denied the right to leave their families everything they worked for.
MERP is a barbaric and unconstitutional act of legislation. We urge you to end it now. Do not require nor allow states to terrorize American citizens anymore. Long Term Care is a medial necessity. People should not be punished for needing help. Reverse MERP now!

i was showing my neighbor how the kia amanti looks like a jaguar s-type when i noticed something else. the spectra5 looks like a mazda protoge5. does kia look at ford as its idol? it seems to copy it a lot. is it just luck that the name also includes the number 5?
Kia has a hard time comming up with orignal designs taht the public would like so they take a popular car and base their model off of it. I think that it is pathetic, but i would never own a kia anyway, unfornatully they arnt the only auto manufacture that does this practice, i think that each adn every one of them in recient years has been guilty of this to one extent or the other.
Good eye but dont forget this Hyundai. Mercedes-Benz must be pissed off
what about this one?fron from infinity back from bently
From now on I'm gunna refer to stealing as "Hyundaing it"As in: "are you serious I cant belive they Hyundaied the radio out of your car."
LMFAO . and its actualy true.
Wait, so Ford is teaching Honda how to make the Civic? Dont tell HRC.
yeah, thats a topic i chose not to bring up when we were having our words. if ford would have made a coupe it would have looked identical.
Quote:i was showing my neighbor how the kia amanti looks like a jaguar s-type when i noticed something else. the spectra5 looks like a mazda protoge5.
you guys make it sound like borrowing stying elements from other car makers is the worse thing on the planet... AND that it has never been done before the Koreans did... HA!copying styles has been going on since before any of you were born... everybody copies everybody else...it is very rare to see an original design... and the origins of any particular automotive design element is very hard to trace. I'd like to see any of you guys design a car without being influenced by other cars you like.that said, I think the Kia did a great job with the Amanti... would I buy one? probably not, but kudos regardless.the Spectra 5 does indeed look a lot like the Mazda...Oh well... it's not like all of Mazdas designs are cutting edge original... besides, I'm not sure if borrowing styles should have any bearing on the reputation of a car company...when Toyota started making larger trucks they not only borrowed styling ques fromt he class leader Ford, but even attempted a naming scheme similar for Ford's... Toyota's T100 vs. Ford's F150/250/350... hmmmm... tell me THAT wasn't blatant and obvious... it would have been even more obvious if they didn't change the naming protocol to the current one, and introduced the Tundra as the T150 as originally planned... lol
btw, I also see a lot of buick in that hyundai...
Quote: You are correct about the Kia Amanti. Kia used parts from these 4 manufacturers to make that car. I don't how Kia got they hands on other competition's parts, especially name plates like Jaguar and Mercedes. I know manufacturers do sale various to parts such as head, tail lights, and mechanical. Panoz is a prime example with the rearend of a Miata, and Ford powerplant. But to craft a whole car out of other manufacturers parts is a bit strange. All I know is the Amanti got a big thumbs down when I seen it for the first time, just because of the obsurdity of it.
would you want to be driving your 50k+ jaguar and be compared to a 20k kia?
There was a magazine article on the Amanti when it was first introduced. It did state Kia did use the parts from the manufacturers that HiPo mentioned. The only thing that is part that is not the others parts is the grille. The headlights are from the Mercedes E Class. The hood is off the Jaguar S-Type. The overly shape from the from wheels back is from the Lincoln Towncar. And the tail lights might be off from Buick. It sounds silly, I know. It like Kia stole the mold dies and press machines from all the manufacturers and filled the rest of the holes.

Brian T. Gensel has spent the majority of his legal career as a Porter County Prosecutor, beginning in 1988. In 1994, he was chosen to serve as Chief Deputy Prosecutor under Prosecutor James Douglas. Brian was elected prosecutor in 2006 and was, at that time the longest serving full-time deputy prosecutor in Porter County history.
Brian graduated from Purdue University in 1983 with a degree in Business Marketing and received his Juris Doctor degree from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1987.

During his years as a Prosecuting Attorney, Brian has developed the following philosophy regarding the role of the Prosecutor:
"Prosecutors are unique among lawyers in that we are ethically bound to seek justice. Sometimes justice is best fulfilled by vigorous prosecution and seeking maximum sentence upon conviction. Sometimes it means fashioning a plea agreement that allows for both sanction and rehabilitation. A Prosecutor must know the difference between what he can do and what he should do."

Annan calls for urgent increase in quake aid
Page Tools
The United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, has called for a serious escalation of the effort to aid earthquake victims in Pakistan.
He made the call as three powerful aftershocks of the October 8 quake triggered fresh landslides and panic across stricken northern Pakistan.
The death toll stands at more than 79,000. Relief workers warn that thousands more deaths from disease and exposure could occur among the 500,000 still stranded in mountain villages.
"What is needed is an immediate and exceptional escalation of the global relief effort to support the work of the Government of Pakistan," Mr Annan told a news conference on Wednesday.
He described the effort as one of the most difficult ever undertaken because of the extent of the devastation, the rough terrain and the coming Himalayan winter.
Mr Annan criticised as inadequate the response so far by governments and international organisations to a UN appeal for $US312 million ($410 million) to meet emergency food, shelter and sanitation needs, saying it lagged far behind the response to last December's tsunami.
About $US84 million - or 27 per cent - of the appeal had been pledged, while the tsunami appeal was more than 80 per cent funded within 10 days, he said.
Without enough blankets or winter-strength tents to protect people from falling temperatures, there would be "a second wave" of dead of huge proportions.
Wednesday's aftershocks dampened spirits in the hardest-hit areas, where a day earlier President Pervez Musharraf proposed opening the divided territory of Kashmir to allow family contacts and better aid flows.
While even Pakistani militants seeking independence for the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir hailed that appeal, it became obvious on Wednesday that crossings of the Line of Control are weeks or months away.
Damaged roads and bridges must be repaired before significant traffic could be permitted over the line, said a Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Tasnim Aslam.
The first phone calls in 15 years from Indian-controlled Kashmir to relatives on the Pakistani side took place after Indian authorities opened four emergency call centres on Wednesday.
Ms Aslam said Islamabad was also pushing to extend its mobile phone network to Indian-controlled Kashmir.
■ Relief agencies fear children separated from their families in the after-quake chaos are at risk from human traffickers and childless couples.
Thousands of injured children have been flown by helicopter out of the worst-hit areas. Many are in the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences hospital in Islamabad. A policewoman has been posted outside the ward, and security guards vet visitors after reported attempts to abduct children.
Some children arrive at hospitals unaccompanied - because their parents are dead or lost - and aid agencies fear there are few safeguards to prevent strangers snatching them. "We are urging the Government to put measures in place to make sure this doesn't happen."said Julia Spry-Leverton of UNICEF.

CLAIM: Kristen Stewart Used Michael Pitt to Make Robert Pattinson Jealous
OK! magazine has once again published the fevered imaginings of its unreliable sources as fact. The tabloid now claims Kristen Stewart was "trying to make [Robert Pattinson] jealous" by "flirting" with Michael Pitt at a fashion event in Paris earlier this month.
Yes, just look at how much "flirting" is going on in the picture at right. OK! says Pitt's model fiancee Jamie Bochert came up with the alleged "plan" after Stewart supposedly revealed her "heartache" over Pattinson's alleged romance with Riley Keough. "Kristen shared her feelings about Riley with Jamie," a so-called "insider" tells the magazine. "It was Jamie who said, 'Well, why don't you do what Rob is doing to you? Use Michael for a while. Sit next to him at the fashion show. It will send the whole world buzzing.'" That's a fake quote from a fake source.
In any case, OK! claims Pitt was all for the plot and "played his flirty role perfectly." Look again at that photograph. Stewart and Pitt couldn't be flirting less if they tried. Ah, but OK! shrieks, "the scheme seems have have worked!" How so? "The Internet soon lit up with stories of Kristen's new rebound" — which Gossip Cop immediately busted — and word supposedly reached Pattinson, "although he remained tight-lipped about it."
An "insider" for OK! explains, "There was no harm done. Michael and Jamie have been steadies for years. They wanted to support Kristen, even if the plan was a little bit high-schoolish." "High-schoolish" would be overstating OK!'s coverage of Kristen Stewart. This is a nonsense story from the same people who just falsely accused the actress of "acting out" in the wake of her split.
There was no "scheme" to make Stewart and Pitt look romantic. When Gossip Cop asked (again) about the duo, a source close to the situation laughed at OK! That's the right reaction.

Ceiling panels that cool the air? Windows and shades that open automatically? A constant LCD display of energy use? These are some of the nifty features in NASA's new lunar-shaped office building that opens this spring in Moffett Field, Calif.
Dubbed NASA's "latest mission on Earth," the building showcases innovations engineered for space travel. It has, for example, a forward-osmosis system that treats greywater (from restroom sinks and showers) and reuses it to flush toilets and urinals.
"They installed that system on the space station," says Steve Zornetzer, associate center director of NASA Ames Research Center, where the building is located, just south of Palo Alto. So, he asked, "Why can't we use that on planet Earth?"
The NASA Sustainability Base, designed to produce more energy than it uses, will be one of the federal government's greenest buildings. It reflects the push by President Obama, who will have solar panels re-installed on the White House this spring, to make federal buildings more energy- and water-efficient.
"It makes sense for the bottom line," says Nancy Sutley, chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. Because the federal government is the country's single largest energy consumer, she says, lowering its utility bills will save taxpayers money and help the environment. She says Obama is expanding on the Bush administration's efforts to green the federal sector.
In October 2009, Obama signed an executive order requiring new buildings and major renovations be certified by the private U.S. Green Building Council's rating system, known as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). In October, the General Services Administration upped the ante by requiring such projects meet LEED's second-highest, or gold, standard. Previously, it required a lower level of certification.
"They're really walking the talk with strict new standards," says Alex Wilson, executive editor of Environmental Building News. "We're seeing some amazing projects on the federal level."
Some of the best examples come in places people might not expect, says Michelle Moore, Obama's federal environmental executive. She cites the Department of Veterans Affairs' efforts to install solar panels at facilities nationwide, starting with ones in sunny areas that will produce up to 100% of their annual electricity. Also, she cites the Army's plans to build and rehab 2,106 homes at Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County, Va. The project has a mixed-use town center, solar panels and a salvaged playground.
NASA's new building wouldn't have been possible even five years ago, partly because the software used in its design wasn't as sophisticated then, says Jay Bhatt, senior vice president of Autodesk Inc., which provided software. He says its Revit system allows architects to model designs for maximum performance so they know the impact of every change, such as the amount of daylight available if they rotate the building 10 degrees.
Such modeling estimates that the $23 million, 50,000-square-foot NASA showpiece will use 75% less energy and 90% less potable water than regular code-built structures. And, once a solid oxide fuel cell is added to the solar panels and wind turbine, it's expected to produce an annual surplus of power. It's slated to earn the top LEED rating, platinum.
Zornetzer touts the building's geothermal system, composed of 100 wells, each 140 feet deep. "It's a very simple passive system," he says, noting how the wells connect to a pump that runs water through copper tubes in ceiling panels. The water stays at 58 degrees, so due to basic physics, the cool air falls from the panels to the workspace below.
He says computers will open the windows at night to let in a cross breeze and close them during the day. He says they'll open and close shades to regulate solar gain. Software will also monitor and adjust the building's temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide as well as light and noise levels.
Not all is high-tech. The building is oriented to maximize daylight, so artificial light will be needed only about 40 days each year. It's narrow, 54 feet, and has no interior columns, so people working in the middle will still benefit from daylight pouring in from floor-to-ceiling windows, and, on the second floor, the skylights.
"It has this incredible view," says the project's architect, Dave Johnson of William McDonough & Partners, noting the surrounding tall evergreens.
"It's like you're standing in a forest," Johnson says. "It's awesome. I'd like to work there."
Zornetzer says he'll be one of the lucky residents, and he won't hide in a corner office. To see how the building fosters collaboration, he says: "I'm going to take an open workspace."

Tornado Watch Cancels After School, Evening Activities
A tornado watch issued by the National Weather Service for the lower Hudson Valley including Putnam County has resulted in area schools cancelling all after-school and evening activities.
Districts affected include the Brewster, Carmel, Mahopac and Putnam Valley schools. In Haldane after-school activities are not affected except for an away volleyball game which has been cancelled.
Putnam Commissioner of Emergency Services Adam Stiebeling reminded the public that the tornado advisory was only a watch—not a warning: "Should a tornado be cited then a warning declaration will be made."
The advisory remains in effect until 5 p.m.

The torrential rain that has hammered much of Britain showed no signs of letting up tonight as more residents were on the verge of being evacuated from their homes in one village.
Southern and south western England has been the worst affected, with deluges in Devon, Cornwall and Hampshire leading to more than an inch of rain in some places.
But forecasters warned that up to an inch could fall over Cornwall tomorrow night, causing further havoc in areas where the ground is already saturated.
Residents in 55 homes in Wallington, Hampshire, were offered the chance to evacuate by police amid fears that the River Wallington could burst its banks, but only three had chosen to do so by this evening.
The Environment Agency has 241 flood alerts and 53 flood warnings in place, while there is one severe flood warning in place in Wallington. The most severe alert, it is described as being a "danger to life" on the Agency's website.
South east Wales, the Midlands and the north east of England were also at risk as successive bands of rain sweep across the country. The weather is likely to remain unsettled for up to seven days.
Billy Payne, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: "Most of the country at the moment is still covered in heavy rain.
"That rain's going to become more confined to the North tonight, while the heaviest rain will be in south eastern Scotland.
"Over 30mm (1.2ins) will fall later on across the south east of Scotland and there will still be heavy bursts elsewhere in the north of England and for a time in the Midlands as well."
He added that while tomorrow daytime should be drier, the rain was set to fall heavily again by the evening, particularly in south west England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"Cornwall and Devon will be seeing the worst rain tomorrow night which will then move north-eastwards.
"Saturday will be a lot like today and in some areas will be quite heavy, so not particularly pleasant and will add to flooding worries.
"One of our models suggests up to an inch will fall tomorrow night across Cornwall and there could be half an inch across the UK in general."
It is feared the latest bout of wet weather could leave more homes under water and cause further disruption on the road and rail networks.
Motorists were warned not to use flooded roads and an AA spokesman said it had attended 327 break downs due to vehicles being driven through or still stuck in floodwater.
East Dorset and the New Forest in Hampshire were worst affected along with the Midlands, he added.
River levels on the River Cober in Helston, Cornwall, are high after persistent rain yesterday, while the Dolphins River Park in Charmouth, west Dorset, was under threat from the River Char.
The River Wey in Weymouth, Dorset, was also rising, and the Somerset Levels face risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall of up to 20mm over last night on already saturated ground.
Flood defences were put up today in the riverside town of Bewdley in Worcestershire, on the banks of the Severn, and at Upton-upon-Severn existing flood barriers were being monitored as the river rose steadily.
Further defences were set to go up in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
In Devon and Cornwall, which bore the brunt of much of the worst weather during widespread flooding last month, police reported only minor disruption across the two counties.
In Cornwall, there was a minor landslide near Gorran Haven, with around one tonne of topsoil obstructing the road, while the tiny community of Praze-an-Beeble could only be accessed from one side after flooding on the main road in made the route impassable.
Polson Bridge in Launceston, near the border with Devon, was also closed, police said.
In St Cleer, near Liskeard, one woman had to be rescued from her car after becoming trapped by floodwater.
But there was no repeat of the scenes of late November, when dozens of people had to be evacuated from their homes as floodwater surged down narrow streets and floodplains saturated, causing millions of pounds of damage.
Cornwall Council said more than 100 members of staff were involved in dealing with flood-related calls overnight and into this morning.
The majority of them were as a result of surface water flooding.
A council spokesman said a man became trapped after driving over a humpback bridge crossing the Bude Canal in north Cornwall and found himself surrounded by fast-flowing and rising water.
A spokeswoman for Fareham Borough Council said the three people who had taken up the offer of being evacuated in Wallington included one vulnerable person.
Structural engineers from the council and the Environment Agency have inspected the flood wall that has three cracks in it, but Environment Agency operations manager David Robinson explained that the main concern was the high tide meeting the rain water after more than 20mm fell in the area overnight.
High tide, which came at 4.30pm in the village, passed without further flooding. The next high tide will be at 5.13am tomorrow.
The latest warnings follow serious flooding last month when flood water surged through streets and down roads, cutting off whole communities and forcing dozens to flee their homes.
Rivers burst their banks and fields became lakes as several days' rain fell in just a few hours.

See what's new with the proposed Nutrition Facts label
FDA proposing changes to reflect latest scientific information
The calories area would get a larger font and be much bolder than on the old label.
Servings per container would get a larger, bolder font.
Serving sizes would also be updated. From the FDA: "Update serving size requirements to reflect the amounts people currently eat. What and how much people eat and drink has changed since the serving sizes were first put in place in 1994. By law, serving sizes must be based on what people actually eat, not on what people "should" be eating. Present calorie and nutrition information for the whole package of certain food products that could be consumed in one sitting."
Daily Values would be updated, with the % daily value getting listed first. From the FDA: "Revise the Daily Values for a variety of nutrients such as sodium, dietary fiber and Vitamin D. Daily Values are used to calculate the Percent Daily Value on the label, which helps consumers understand the nutrition information in the context of a total daily diet."
Add "added sugars" to the label. From the FDA: "Require information about the amount of "added sugars" in a food product. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans states that intake of added sugar is too high in the U.S. population and should be reduced. The FDA proposes to include "added sugars" on the label to help consumers know how much sugar has been added to the product."
Nutrient information would change. From the FDA: "Require the declaration of potassium and vitamin D, nutrients that some in the U.S. population are not getting enough of, which puts them at higher risk for chronic disease. Vitamin D is important for its role in bone health. Potassium is beneficial in lowering blood pressure. Vitamins A and C would no longer be required on the label, though manufacturers could declare them voluntarily."
Actual amounts of nutrients would be declared instead of percentages.
A new footnote would be included.

Where I stayed
A quick bite to eat before we got onto the train. The platform was literally on the same level as the road and if you didn't know it was there, you would literally walk across the tracks! First class again, we are getting used to this service however with only 2 and a half of us left, we didn't have the area to ourselves. The train was packed with businessmen heading to London and we were the ONLY passengers travelling with a hyperactive then extremely tired toddler, joy!
Once again there was no shortage of food, not that we really needed it and Master X was better than anticipated after his initial protest against sitting down on the train
Clearing customs and immigration was fun with all our accrued luggage. We still seemed to have so much despite sending 18kg back to Australia. The terminal was absolutely packed and there were people lurking around various gates in anticipation. Similar to the London to Glasgow train, the gate and platform for the Eurostar is only announced twenty minutes before the train leaves. Strange but true!
A stampede was occuring when the platform was announced and I was grateful that we were towards the front and quickly out of the way. First class again and this was real first class. Not quite as impressive as the airlines however with reclining seats and all the modern comforts, we were suitably impressed. More food, agh! There was an english businessman sitting across the aisle and Master X gave him a running commentary of the journey, including the fact that we were going through a tunnel. He was very patient and I think he enjoyed the company.
Before we knew it we were at Lille, and the next leg of the journey began. We stopped to look at a map -
Scott: "Which way do we go?"
Me: "I don't know"
Scott: "Why not? what does the map say?"
Me: "I dont't know, it's in French!!"
This brought about absolute hysterical laughter and eventually we got our bearings. However it took us 4 attempts to actually get out of the elevator to street level. But being positive again, we have now seen every level there is at Lille Eurostar station. Add that to your bucket list!
Our hotel was literally across the road and we were happy about that. But who wants to spend time in a hotel when you can be out exploring, so that is exactly what we did! Into the town centre and to a nice little restaurant where we had a yummy meal and spoke excitedly about our upcoming adventures.

I want it to be something very special,
the price shouldn't be over $300
Please, share your ideas here
now i recommend a product for you:http://www.myeglobal.com/Photos/2210...n_imgtag21.jpg
:dizzy: You only need a digital camera and a computer that you can make meaningful Xmas gifts for yourself and your boy friend!
First, capture the highlights with your digital camera . You have to take some out-of-the-ordinary pictures for you and your friend together when Xmas preparation or Xmas shoppong as raw materials to create your gift.
Second, DIY meaningful Xmas gifts. Once you have got the requested pictures, using a photo collage or digital scrapbooking software, such as Picasa, Photo Collage Studio, to combine multiple photos into a single image that you can frame the highlight in Christmas forever.What's more, you can bookbind these Xmas collages into a stunning photo book to tell your Xmas2007 love story.:jumping: I'm sure the gift must be unique and special to your boy friend!
Here is a girl's Xmas collage created with Photo Collage Studio last year , you can look and get some inspiration.
Don't worry, making a digital scrapbook or photo collage is so easy with Photo Collage Studio. Just choose a pre-designed Xmas templates , then import your baby photos and add some cumtom journals, that's Ok. If you are familiar with Photoshop, you can also take advantage of it to preserve this Xmas love memories.:smiling angel:
Merry Christmas!
iPhone or iTouch (16GB)
So this depends on how old you are and what your boyfriend does for work. But... a very cute idea is if he works at a desk all day, make him a calendar with photos of you and him with special moments that you guys have spent together! And with this present you could get him something else too since it is very inexpensive.
I recommend going to VistaPrint..... very easy!
Heres the link http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/holiday...calendars.aspx
Another very sentimental idea for depending on the ages would be a memory jar. Decorate a jar with things that mean something to the 2 of you. Then take colored paper and write down memories of the two of you together or why he makes you happy. Have them laminated and cut them apart and put them in the jar. Inexpensive as well
I guess it all depends on his hobbies. My husband loves football and gaming which gives me some direction when I go shopping. You could always buy him socks and underwear which is always a perfect gift at Christmas time. (ha, ha just kidding)
a brand new custom made Lamborghini would be cool.
o wait, that's over $300.
That's hillarious! MerryChristmas2You

Hip Hop Herald 11.21.12: Shyne Beefing With Everyone, No Wu-Tang Reunion, Outkast Broken Up For Good, More
Welcome one and all to the Hip Hop Herald. The column will deal with anything related to hip hop whether it be underground, mainstream, or the new-age pop infused rap (you know the stuff Timberlake and Timbaland make). We will cover news, opinions, release dates as well as feature some music and of course videos.
Be for we start, be sure to check out some of our exclusive interviews as well as follow me on Twitter.

Music Intro
We are back after a 2 week absence and begin with the music intro which is an track that did not make the upcoming Game album due to the fact that it just missed the deadline. Well the track was released for free by Game and features Master P with production by DJ Premier.
Shyne Beefing With Everyone
It seems like Shyne has been beefing with everyone lately, from Diddy to Rick Ross, to now Kendrick Lamar, Game and 50 Cent. Shyne went on record to call Kendrick's debut Aftermath album, good kid, m.A.A.d. city trash after which he served up at diss song aimed at Game who came to Kendrick's defense.
Following the diss to Game who he still refers to as a 'big brother' of sorts, Shyne went at 50 Cent, claiming 50 was running scared from his foes Irv Gotti and Murder Inc. after a scuffle with the crew in 2000. He said that 50 actually hired police security to protect him from Gotti and company, and even gave police information on Gotti's supposed business dealings with notorious drug dealer Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff.
"When I met [50 Cent] he was writing raps for Diddy on Forever. This was after Gotti and them poked him up in the Hit Factory and he ran to the cops and got a order of protection. He was walking around with a group of police, NYPD was holding him down. I swear to God he was in Daddy's House in the lounge and he had security. He hadn't sold one record. He hadn't even put an album out…50 Cent was nobody, nobody knew who he was. He was hiding from Iv Gotti and Murder Inc. He's the reason that Irv got indicted. He's the reason that Kenneth Supreme McGriff is in prison for the rest of his life."
This seems like such a strange time for Shyne to bring all these beefs and allegations to the forefront on Game, Lamar and 50, since Shyne really has nothing to promote and is not really relevant in hip hop. I would say that Shyne is just trying to get attention, but at this point in his career he has nothing to sell or nothing to gain from this attention. I am sure that when Shyne does release his next album, not many people will buy it, and he will forever fall into obscurity.
Sticking to 50 Cent, he has officially been granted his boxing promoters license. Fifty had recently split from Floyd Mayweather, Jr., after a falling out. So instead of TMT (The Money Team) Promotions, the company is titled SMS Promotions.
ESPN reports that 50's application was approved in a 5-0 vote of the commission, provided that he provides three more pieces of information to the commission.
How successful 50 is in this new venture remains to be seen. I have been negative toward 50 Cent regarding his rap career as of late, but I have to admit that when 50 goes for a new venture he sure does go all in and doesn't half ass it.
Wu Tang Reunion Not Happening?
There has been talk brought up by Rza regarding a potential reunion from the Wu-tang Clan, with the culmination of a reunion album on the 20th anniversary of their debut Enter the Wu-Tang: The 36 Chambers. However, it appears not all members are on board for the reunion, with Raekwon expressing his doubts.
"We've been talking about it and it's a lot of discussion about it, but it's not consolidated yet," he said. "We know as a group that 20 years in the business is something serious, so there was a couple of conversations going on about it…you know, everyone's so nonchalant about shit, like they don't know if it's going to happen. For me, it's like I don't respect that because it should happen. It should happen in a way where it can help us from all the shit we've been through together."
He continued, "We've made a lot of money, of course, and we've lost a lot of money, and it kinda put certain cats in situations where this can help [them] right now – at the end of the day, it can help all of use, but it can help the ones that really need to be helped and it can put us back where we need to be financially, back in the game as one of the iconic groups in the game, but it takes a lot of loyalty, it takes a lot of love, it takes a lot of respect. I want to see it happen, but more importantly, I want to see it done the right way."
I hope that this gets done, but am skeptical due to some of the big egos in the group, specifically with the heavyweights of Ghostface, Raekwon, RZA and Method Man. The main problem would be creative control and the direction of the group. This is always difficult when there is no definite leader in the group. RZA has usually taken control of the albums, but with everyone's dissatisfaction with their last album, it is unlikely that he would be given control again.
Outkast Beef
There has been a lot of people waiting for an Outkast reunion album, however, those people may have to wait for a while as the group appears to be on an indefinite hiatus. While there is no beef between Andre 3000 and Big Boi in the typical sense, there really has been no communication between the two at all.
Recently, when asked about Andre 3000's absence from his new album, Big Boi made a statement about how he missed it to be in a commercial for Gillette. Some took this statement to mean that there's beef between the two Outkast members but now Big Boi is denying those claims on Twitter, saying he was simply being "sarcastic." In his message about the issue, Big Boi also promised that no more Outkast questions will be answered.
I think that Big Boi was issuing some subtle shots at Andre 3000 with the tweet, but I feel it is somewhat in a brotherly way. Big Boi has stated many times that he would be up for a new album and tour if the timing was right. It really seems that the onus is on Andre 3000 to get motivated to want to do it. For now Big Boi is focused on his latest solo album, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors
Release Dates & Album Updates
Some information on some new albums that some readers may be interested in. First we get the new album announcement from Tyga, who has stated that his new album titled Hotel California will be released in March 2013. Tyga stated that his first single for the album will be 187 which features Rick Ross. Tyga actually did big things in 2012, hot off his hit single "Rack City". Whether he can duplicate his success remains to be seen, but I am interested in seeing how his career progresses.
Next we have the tracklisting for the debut Chief Keef album titled Finally Rich. The tracklisting is below and actually features some big time names from 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa and Rick Ross. I have always been one to question Keef's skills as an emcee, and believe that this album will expose him as an artist. It doesn't help that he pissed off 50 Cent & Wiz Khalifa by not showing up to his own video shoot for "Hate Bein' Sober" this week, as 50 Cent stated that people are not going to put up with him for very long since he has accomplished nothing in hip hop as of yet.
1. Love Sosa
2. Hallelujah
3. I Don't Like ft. Lil Reese
4. No Tomorrow
5. Hate Bein' Sober ft. 50 Cent & Wiz Khalifa
6. Kay Kay
7. Laughin' To The Bank
8. Diamonds ft. French Montana
9. Ballin'
10. Understand Me ft. Young Jeezy
11. 3Hunna ft. Rick Ross
12. Finally Rich
The Game released the track list for his album Jesus Piece which drops on December 11. While I can appreciate that Game has set his release date and he is sticking to that, the album seems somewhat on the short side. The track "HVN4AGNGSTA" which was produced by DJ Premier did not make the album, because Premier said there was a mix up with his touring schedule and he missed the date to submit the track. Now I will hold off judgment until I hear the album, as it may be an album full of great tracks, but this may be a case where a slight delay may have benefitted the album.
1. Scared Now feat. Meek Mill
2. Ali Bomaye feat. 2 Chainz & Rick Ross
3. Jesus Piece feat. Kanye West & Common
4. Pray feat. J. Cole & JMSN
5. All That (Lady) feat. Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Fabolous, Jeremih
6. Name Me King – The Game, Pusha T
7. See No Evil – The Game, Kendrick Lamar, Tank
8. Can't Get Right feat. K. Roosevelt
9. Heaven's Arms
10. Hallelujah feat. Jamie Foxx
11. Freedom feat. Elijah Blake
12. Celebration feat. Chris Brown, Tyga, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne

no power in detatched garage after buying home
hello! this is my first time on your site, and im hoping to get some answers, with what little info i have. please forgive that i do not know all of the specifics.we just bought the home in october, and are first time buyers so we are kin of learning as we go. Ok here is what is going on, and what i know so far.
house was built in 1915
was gutted and completely renovated in 1988
the detached garage was built some time after renovation
powerlines to the garage are run under ground and inside PVS pipe
the garage has an automatic door, a big gas heater from the ceiling and a million different lights and light switches.
when we looked at the house thinking about buying it i know that the lights atleast worked, i personally turned them on.
the seller had the power turned off a few days before we bought it
the day we moved in i went to the garage and nothing worked...however if you turn on the switches it registers on the meter at the house as if everything works.
i have flipped the switches to the breaker in the garage, but i have not flipped any at the house.
they were all labeled and none said anything about the garage so i did not touch them.
I have an infant, so i am unable to go see what brands or voltages everything is at the moment, im sorry.
based on the information provided could anyone help?
thanks and have a great day!
What do you mean by this statement? "however if you turn on the switches it registers on the meter at the house as if "
Are there any breakers in the panel that are switched off?
Is there only one panel in the house?
I suspect a breaker is turned off either in the house panel or the outbuilding. Once we determine whether all the breakers are on we can go from there.
Try to check during one of the babies naps.
I mean, if you go to the garage and turn on all the switches (nothing seems to happen) and then go up to the house and look at the power meter (the thing the power company checks to bill you) the rate it goes around increases, and decreases if you flip the switches back to off mode, but nothing comes on. there are 2 breaker boxes at the house and one at the garage. i reset the breaker in the garage but did not reset the ones at the house because they were all labeled (washer, dryer, kitchen ect) and no labels said anything regarding the garage. all breakers are switched to on.
and, i put stuff in () not because i thought you didnt know what those were, but because i was not sure if i was using the right terms so i wanted to explain just in case.
The meters not going to change just because a breaker is turned on. It only would change if somethng was being used that used power. And to see any real differance it would need to be something that used a lot of power.
Wrong way to check it anyway.
You would use a volt OHM meter to check to see if there's power going to the panel.
Why not call the old owners and ask what they shut off?
It's not unheard of for some DIY to tap off of the power going to something else to run power to the garage so there may not be a breaker marked garage.
What exactly is it your checking in the garage.
If all you have done is hit the light switch. It could be as simple as a GFI has tripped.
Try pushing the reset button.
The GFI could be part of one of the outlets or a red button on a circut breaker.
It would help a lot to have some more details. (I know, that's hard with little ones to look after.) For example, can you see where the line to the garage leaves your house, and where it enters the garage? Can you see the cables coming out of the PVC at each end?
Visually follow those cables (on each end) and tell us where they go, if you can.
Do you have a digital camera? Can you take pictures of the electrical panels and upload them to this thread? (If you have the camera, but don't know how to upload, we can provide instructions.)
Above all, please be careful. If you're at all uncertain of how to do something, don't do it.
i will look and take pics this week and upload them. thank you for being understanding. between the one little one and the 2 big ones (6 and 7 both boys) its hard to get anything done these days.
and no i cant see where the lines come from the house to the garage. the guys that lived here originally did his best to cover all that up. he was a very smart talented handy man...but that doesnt help me since he let the house go into foreclosure during a bad divorce and a couple that cant speak english bought i from the bank.
You are going to have to find out where the power for the garage
originates from !
If all breakers are on, then look for switchs or gfci's
turn them all on !
The power must come from somewhere !
If the lights were working,
then it is unlikely they have been dissconnectted,
there must be a switch/breaker/gfci somewhere.

I want a cheese omelet hash browns multi grain toast no butter diet pepsi and keep it coming
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I want a cheese omelet hash browns multi grain toast no butter diet pepsi and keep it coming
I'll have a denver omelet and diet pepsi too! It may be hard to get anywhere with all the snow we are getting yesterday and today. Got stuck and had to shovel our way out to get to GS's hockey game this morning but it was so worth it. It is so much fun watching the little guys (4 to 6) try and play hockey! DD got stuck again trying to get out to go to work after we got back from hockey. I love the snow but not when yuo can't get around.
I want buter pecan pancakes, hash brown casserole, grits, biscuits,and coffee. I could never eat all of that, but it is what I like from Cracker Barrel. YUM YUM
I want a western omelet with Dr Pepper, please!
Just had egg whites over well, hash brown casserole, fried chicken tenders, and biscuit with jelly, and grits with unsweetened tea at Cracker Barrel earlier. Folgers hazelnut creme coffee before that at home.
i wanted sausage and pancakes but settled for spinach pizza instead.
Whole wheat waffles with real maple syrup, link sausage and coffee
All this food talk is making me hungry. I am going to have some egg rolls I made yesterday.
