This review is from: BELKIN F8E093 Anti-Static Wrist Strap
Comfortable. Works like its supposed to.
The cable could be a little longer. But it doesnt really bother me. I just need to move the alligator clip around every once in a while. not a big deal.
Other Thoughts:
before you use this its a good idea to make sure the conduction between the two ends is good. DONT plug the alligator clips into an outlet to test like Infinity describes below unless you want to die. Use a multimeter and test the resistance between the clip and the metal contact that touches your wrist. If the resistance is infinite then there is no conduction between the two ends. If the multimeter comes up with a number then your good. If you dont have a multimeter then you can do it the ghetto way... clamp the alligator clip on one of the contacts of a brand new 9V battery. put the tip of your tounge on the edge of the wrist contact and then touch the wrist contact to the other contact of the 9V. If you feel a tiny little tingle on your tounge when the battery and wrist contact connect then your good. If not, your cord doesnt work or you need to try a newer/stronger battery. This is safe as long as you dont use anything bigger than a 9V. Anything bigger might hurt.

Downtown Millburn seeks Saturday shoppers
The hype about rushing to the nearest mall on Black Friday to buy holiday gifts for discounted prices has been around for decades. In recent years, a new initiative - Small Business Saturday - encourages people to hit the stores, but its focus is to get people to shop locally.
Downtown Millburn Development Alliance president Gina Colabelli has used Facebook and other forms of social media to get the word out about Small Business Saturday which is the Saturday after Thanksgiving. During Monday evening's DMDA meeting, Colabelli urged business owners in downtown Millburn to participate in this day for shopping.
"It's about supporting your local business," Colabelli said.
Business owners may visit the website www.shopsmall.com to sign up for participating in Small Business Saturday. Customers may visit the same website to find out where to shop.
American Express founded Small Business Saturday in 2010 to help small businesses get more exposure the weekend after Thanksgiving, which is one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year, according to the website, www.shopsmall.com. Last year, more than 100 million people came out to shop at independently-owned small businesses around the United States on that day, according to the website.
Colabelli said the shops in downtown Millburn are anticipating more foot traffic this year. Monogram necklaces are big this year, she noted, and at her store Red Carpet Boutique, sequin dresses for the holiday season and nude colors are expected to be popular this season.
However, with many special shopping deals going on this weekend and during the holiday season as a whole, business owners, whether at a small business or a larger one should beware of credit card and check fraud and employee theft.
The holidays are a prevalent time for quick fraud, explained Millburn Police Detective and Millburn PBA Local 34 member Andrew DelRusso.
Business owners should make sure the information on a customer's check matches the information on his or her license, since con artists sometimes take the routing number and other information and copy it onto a fraudulent check, DelRusso explained during this past Monday's DMDA meeting.
"The more business owners are aware about how the crime is committed, the more likely they are to catch it," DelRusso said.
Business owners should closely monitor their books to ensure that employees are not acquiring money when they shouldn't be and make sure a check's signature is written by a pen, and check dollar bills to make sure their edges are straight.

Key research areas
- Transforming cities: city lives, city natures, city politics
- Sustaining urban and regional communities and environments
- Critical development studies
Transforming cities: city lives, city natures, city politics
Besides dominating the pattern of human settlement, cities are dynamic spaces which both mirror and mould social, cultural, political-economic and environmental processes. Research on this theme explores the transforming nature of urban spaces, places, politics and practices and the importance of the urban in contemporary transformations of governance, everyday residential life and human/non-human relations.
Current projects
Sustaining urban and regional communities and environments
We live in uncertain times when communities are confronting an environmental future shaped by anthropogenic climate change, and when economic foundations are being shaken. CURS researchers are working on projects to better understand this current context and to shape future pathways.
Current Projects
- Cultures of environmental management and regulation
- Rural climate change adaptation
- Enabling inter-agency data sharing to support the spatial analysis of social vulnerability in a transforming region
- Grassroots economic activism through food-based community enterprises
- Economic diversity and ethical economies
- Geographies of belonging
Critical development studies: decolonising research
A commitment to social justice and transformative politics both within Australia and internationally underpins this research area. CURS researchers work collaboratively with Indigenous people, social movements and non-governmental organisations and policy-makers locally and in the Asia-Pacific region, to address the spatial dimensions of human and environmental vulnerability and to help build spaces of possibility.

hey everyone...i'm trying to start to make cables in my knitting. unfortunately, i don't know how the person in the video started out her pattern. i'm really confused...if i cast on 16 stiches...and i want my cable to be 4 stiches wide...
this is how i started....row 1. p4 k4 p8row 2 and every even row...Knitthen i continue this and then try to turn?i'm so confused. can someone tell me how to get the design (or atleast half of the project) that was used in the CABLES VIDEO?
thanks and i hope i'm not too confusing!
When you are working a cable, the background stitches are usually worked in reverse stockinette stitch--purl on the right side and knit on the wrong, like you laid your's out in the first row.
The cable itself is worked in regular stockinette stitch, so your example would be
Row 1 - p4, k4, p8Row 2 and all even rows- k8, p4, k4
You would do the cable cross every 4, 6, 8, rows--however you want it to be.
I learned by doing a knit 3, knit 2, (knit 1 Purl 1 4 times)repete for each of 3 segments, then knit 2, bring yarn forward and turn
that was the first row (26 or 28 stitches I think)then every (5th or) 6th row you either cable front, or cable back the middle (#2 of 3) segment
this was a free pattern i got from a store, and it taught me the basics of cablingI have long lost the pattern, but its a reversible cabling stitch with a self hemming edge
my Sister recomends thie following patternhttp://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/PATTtoddle.html
hope that helps you
A cable pattern is much like a ribbed pattern except for the rows where you cross the stitches over each other. So on the back side, you would knit the knit sts and purl the purls, just like in ribbing.
thanks everyone for you help. both of those suggestions helped me!

I remember IVES also. I attended K-6 1966-1973.
A couple of the other teachers at that time were, Mr. Gus (science), Mrs. Ballinus (principal), Mr. Wolf (assistant principal), Mrs. Champine (4th grade), Mrs. Dow (6th grade), Mr. Szumanski (math). I probably haven't spelled these names even close to what they should be.
I remember in the 5th or 6th grade they celebrated the 60th Anniversary of the school. I think I still have a little booklet that they gave us. I'll see if I can find it, and dig up some more names.

Went there about the same time, but left in 72. Do you have any school group pics from that time? All of ours burnt in a house fire. thanks
#22 Aug 20, 2012
I attended Ives for one year only in 1967-68. I too remember Mr. Avery, Mrs. Ballunus, Mr. Schumanski and Mr. Gus. I went to Carstens from 1st grade through 5th. We moved behind Denby after that and I went to Arthur Jr. High and Denby. I remember kids Arthur Doolittle, Betty and Debbie Rife, Kathy Braun. We lived on Phillip between Vernor and Charlevoix. Ives burned down. Carstens is still on coplin.
#23 Oct 7, 2012
Could you please send a pic to me at [email protected]
I was at Ives from 1962-64. I had four siblings also there. We all walked to school together from Chalmers. I loved Detroit then. Remember the Dutch Elms that in summer turned the streets into shady tunnels. Everything was within walking distance. I have a bunch of pictures of those streets from last year. Nothing left but vacant land and few junk houses. Sad. Very sad.
#24 Oct 7, 2012
I went there from 64-74. Bestest 10 years ever.
#25 Dec 5, 2012
Henry< I think you lived down the street from me on Ashland, right? You were older than me. We lived at 2541. Last name was Daniel. We lived between your house and Vernor. Remember the Gunnery kids? They lived next door to you!

I have a few very vivid memories of my 8th grade class at Ives. I ballroom danced for the first time with my soon to be steady girlfriend, June Bridgewater. I remember feeling my heart race uncontrollably, as I put my arm around her for the first time in the basement gym. I also recall Donnie Verhoy blowing disgusting farts in the direction of David Whithouse and I, as we sat agonizingly in alphabetical order during Mr. Becker's class. My summers were spent playing baseball on the Ives playground with my friend Chuck Marino, who lived a few doors away from the school. Ironically, 4 years later, Chuck and I were drafted into the Army on the same day, June 28, 1966. I too lived on Ashland at 1320. A couple of years ago, I drove through the old neighborhood to relive some memories. Much to my surprise, our old house was still standing, albeit in what look like a war zone. I also drove down Manistique to see our old grade school transformed into an empty lot. It was very sad to see the place of our childhood dreams turned into a nightmare. Hopefully, one day the City of Detroit will restore this area to a place of beauty.
#27 Jan 8, 2013
You are correct Lori. I lived at 2567 Ashland. It was a great ime in Detroit before the neighborhood went bad! As I remember there was a Steven Daniels?
#28 Jan 20, 2013
The teachers I remember at IVES ELEM.:
Mrs. Sullivan - Social Studies (God helps them who help themselves -- but, God HELP THEM WHO HELP THEMSELVES !!) She also bragged on her asparagus.
Ms. McKenzie - Gym (Always in culottes)(Florida during Christmas break)
Ms. Quinlan (Mrs White)- Literature (In her class the morning we heard of the Normandie landings - June 6th, 1944)
Ms. Giesler - Homeroom 6th?
Ms. Beaton - Homeroom 8th
Ms. Lennox - Principal (Long black dresses with a lace collar)
Mr Frank Reno - Principal
Ms. LaFontaine - Auditorium
Ms. Jefferys - Music
Playing ball in the schoolyard. NO SLIDING in baseball. Too many cinders. NO HARDBALL yard was too small. Ho Ho Once we were playing hardball with just four guys. A pitcher, catcher, batter and outfielder. I hit a foul ball and it careened into one of the second floor windows, about where the fifth grade homeroom was. Somebody told on me and I was in Mr. Reno's office the next day. Can't remember if my parents had to pay for that window or not.
Digging in the jumping pits during the summer - lots of sand down to about three feet.
I lived right next door to the school on the north side.
Neighborhood kids were, Bruce Foster, Richard Harrison, Marvin Burke. The Breen family, but they went to St Ambrose over on Alter. Dwayne Kreutzan, Bob Truman, Betsey Ross, Shirley Mc?, Dolores, Howard, Sal and his sister, Kathleen Beam.
Serving as Safety Patrol down at Marlboro and Jefferson. Blocking Manistique Street to conduct 100 yard dashes. The coolness of the lavarories down in the basement in the summer. No air conditioning then except at the movies. Lakewood and Cinderella theaters. Saunders ice cream sodas and candy across from the Lakewood.
#29 Jan 20, 2013
I lived at 1196 Philip. The first house north of the school. My family left Detroit in 1953 and never returned. I have some video of the street I took in the 90's. The pictures of the graduating class of 1948, seen on the Facebook site, are mine.

Heroic Officer Saves the Greatest Painting: Review
The gaze stays with you.
A lightly clad saint sitting quietly with his books in the Italian countryside is interrupted by a large rich man in costly carmine robes who decides to kneel next to him.
The day is ruined. Quizzically, the saint stares at the intruder who has been placed there by the painter, Piero della Francesca.
"Saint Jerome and a Supplicant" has faded since Piero painted this imaginary meeting in the early 1460s for his patron, a member of the prosperous Amadi family. But recently cleaned to reveal delicate landscape touches and a cooler tonality, it casts a spell.
Traders who made their money in textiles, the Amadis commissioned paintings that might assure them a place in the art pantheon and perhaps the hereafter -- in the company of a saint.
A small show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Piero della Francesca: Personal Encounters," presents four pictures by a Renaissance master who chose to spend a good deal of his life in the unspectacular town of Borgo San Sepolcro painting frescoes that are firmly attached to walls.
Handsome Christ
Sadly, Sansepolcro, though on the small side, can't be shipped around the world for us to admire the museum's "Resurrection." As his guards remain sleep-slumped, an astonishingly muscular, handsome Christ steps from his tomb, gazing out with sad, sunken eyes.
That the picture survives is due to a miraculous intervention toward the end of World War II that would have sent an artist of Piero's era rushing for his brushes.
The British artillery officer ordered to shell Sansepolcro happened to be literate and war-weary. He had seen Monte Cassino destroyed -- uselessly as it turned out. And he remembered an essay by Aldous Huxley that described Sansepolcro's "Resurrection" as "the greatest picture in the world."
He halted the attack and saved the town where citizens now stroll on Tony Clarke Street en route to the Buitoni pasta palace, Sansepolcro's other claim to greatness.
Like the "Monuments Men," who salvaged Europe's art as the war ended, Clarke understood that preserving the blameless souvenirs of civilization might lead to a less barbarous future.
Today, the Piero della Francesca Trail connects Sansepolcro with such other central Italian towns as Urbino, home to his "Flagellation," and Arezzo, where his "Legend of the True Cross," took shape in the 1450s in the church of San Francesco.
Those frescoes have taken a lot of damage over the centuries. And yet, despite the patches and pockmarks, the beauty shines through the grandeur of the story-telling.
One scene alone is worth a trip, "The Dream of Constantine" -- strange, nocturnal vision in which the emperor receives supernatural guidance for the next day's battle.
Be Quiet
Fortunately, Piero also painted in tempera on panels and these are very occasionally allowed to travel by their owners. That's what makes the Met's small gathering, thoughtfully presented by curator Keith Christiansen, such an unusual event.
The show includes another St. Jerome (who prays undisturbed) and two Madonnas, one loaned by a private collection in Delaware, U.S., and the other by the Palazzo Ducale in Urbino, home of Federico da Montefeltro, a self-mutilating warlord and art patron.
Fearing assassins after losing an eye in battle, he hacked off the bridge of his nose to improve peripheral vision in the other. Obviously not a man concerned with his looks, he had Piero paint him in profile. The picture is now in the Uffizi in Florence.
At the Met, the Madonna and Child are framed by two angels who cross their arms protectively as they stand in front of a carefully painted doorway leading to a light-filtering window. The hypnotic setting reflects Piero's fascination with the mathematics of perspective. But as with St. Jerome, what really makes us linger, are the eyes that command us to be quiet.
The exhibition continues through March 30 and is made possible by the Foundation for Italian Art & Culture (FIAC).

Doctors in Germany have determined that patients suffering from early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma can receive a reduced dose of involved field radiation therapy, combined with chemotherapy, and still retain a high survival rate, according to a study presented October 17, 2005, at the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology's 47th Annual Meeting in Denver.
If caught early, Hodgkin's lymphoma can usually be cured and most patients are living many years after their diagnosis. However, they often must live with side effects caused by the treatment. In this study, doctors wanted to see if they could reduce the amount of radiation given to patients in order to cut down on side effects and still cure them of their cancer.
Between May 1998 and May 2002, researchers studied 1,131 patients to see whether giving patients chemotherapy and reducing the amount of radiation (from 30 Gy to 20 Gy) would cure their cancer. The results showed that more than 98 percent of patients receiving the reduced treatment experienced complete remission from their disease. Only 2.5 percent of the patients relapsed during the study's two years of observation and 13 patients died from the disease during the course of the study.
"Although this was an interim study, the results are very encouraging that we can cure patients with early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma of their cancer while reducing the amount of radiation we give them, thus allowing them to have a higher quality of life after treatment," said Hans Theodor Eich, M.D., lead author of the study and a radiation oncologist at the University of Cologne in Cologne, Germany.
For more information on radiation therapy for Hodgkins lymphoma, please visit www.rtanswers.org or call 1-800-986-7876 for a free brochure.
ASTRO is the largest radiation oncology society in the world, with more than 8,000 members who specialize in treating patients with radiation therapies. As a leading organization in radiation oncology, biology and physics, the Society is dedicated to the advancement of the practice of radiation oncology by promoting excellence in patient care, providing opportunities for educational and professional development, promoting research and disseminating research results and representing radiation oncology in a rapidly evolving socioeconomic healthcare environment.

Weekend Bookworm: Jerusalem
01 February 2013 , 11:02 AM by Rob Minshull
Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamami
The spiritual centre of three great world religions, Jerusalem these days is more often in the news as a place of political conflict, a city divided by common hatred and a shared faith in the one God. But with this amazing new cookbook, chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamami have discovered a mutual space in their love of food.
Mouth-wateringly lush, part travelogue, part memoir, Jerusalem is probably one of the best cookbooks ever written. Full of fantastic recipes and stunning photographs – it is easy to simply salivate over both – the book is a dedication to Jerusalem's obsession with food and its ubiquitous presence in that unique city.
Both men grew up in Jerusalem, Sami in the Muslim east and Yotam in the Jewish west. They met in London, became friends and then restaurant business partners, reminiscing about forgotten treats and old food haunts. Jerusalem is, they say, their chance to re-imagine the recipes of their childhoods, and celebrate the city's magnificent open-air food markets and street delicacies.
In this absolutely amazing cookbook, the two chefs cast aside political, religious and culinary difference to fuse flavours together and create some extraordinary dishes which are both achievable and inspirational.
Many of the ingredients can be easily grown or obtained in Queensland. Take their roasted butternut squash & red onion with tahina & za'atar: a vegetarian dish ideal as a starter or main course and bursting with flavour. Their roasted sweet potatoes & fresh figs is another dish perfect for local Australian ingredients but which simply reeks of Jerusalem and the city's summer smells of wild herbs and fresh figs. And a perennial favourite in my house is shakshuka, a spicy Israeli breakfast dish. North African in origin, shakshuka is a hearty meal absolutely bursting with flavour, adaptable for improvisation and guaranteed to keep the whole family at the breakfast table.
Jerusalem deserves pride of place on anyone's kitchen shelf and the stories, history and wonderfully rich photographs make it as fascinating to read as its recipes are as desirable to cook and devour.
As one American reviewer wrote when the book was released there earlier last year: "Deciding whether you should bring it into the kitchen or keep by your bedside is a hard choice. But one thing's for sure, you won't be able to put it down." It is hard to disagree.

Prediction of highway truck conveyance configuration under over-limit prohibition and conveyance equilibrium
He, Jie, Hang, Wen, Li, Xuhong , & Mao, Haijun (2007) Prediction of highway truck conveyance configuration under over-limit prohibition and conveyance equilibrium. In Proceedings of the First International Conference of Transportation Engineering (ICTE) 2007, July 22-24, 2007, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China.
|Accepted Version (PDF 188kB)
Aiming at the shortage of prevailing prediction methods about highway truck conveyance configuration in over-limit freight research that transferring the goods attributed to over-limit portion to another fully loaded truck of the same configuration and developing the truck traffic volume synchronously, a new way to get accumulated probability function of truck power tonnage in basal year by highway truck classified by wheel and axle type load mass spectrum investigation was presented. Logit models were used to forecast overall highway freight diversion and single cargo tonnage diversion when the weight rules and strict of enforcement intensity of overload were changed in scheme year. Assumption that the probability distribution of single truck loadage should be consistent with the probability distribution of single goods freighted, the model describes the truck conveyance configuration in the future under strict over-limit prohibition. The model was used and tested in Highway Over-limit Research Project in Anhui by World Bank.

MQL Explained: Articles and Video
Shops can benefit from MQL "clean machining" in a variety of ways.
Shops can benefit from MQL "clean machining" in a variety of ways.
I recently got the chance to visit Ford's Van Dyke transmission plant in Michigan to create an article about how it's benefitted from minimum quantity lubrication (aka MQL). You might not think that a simple change in the way a tool and workpiece are cooled/lubricated would have such a dramatic effect on transmission component manufacturing, but it certainly has in Ford's case. The article, which I'm currently writing, will appear in Modern Machine Shop's October issue.
I've been sorta on an MQL kick here lately, so I figured I'd provide links to a few other articles we've published about MQL in addition to an instructional video that explains how a shop might get started with the near-dry machining technique. Check these out:
Understanding MQL — Minimum quantity lubricant can save money, improve tool life and improve the part finish. But it may involve changes to both the equipment and the processing strategy.
Toward More Seamless MQL — One of the small perils of a new technology is that it often involves new steps or new considerations that present special opportunities for error. MQL is a technology that exemplifies this point.
Complementary Technologies Make MQL More Accessible — An add-on system for MQL combines an external pump with repeatable control over nozzle position.
Video: Getting Started with Minimum Quantity Lubrication — MQL does not require a special machine tool or special tooling. This video makes the case for MQL and describes how to apply it effectively.
If your shop has recently begun integrating MQL, shoot me an e-mail. I'd like to hear about your efforts.

Time for a good spanking
Reviewed: July 12, 2016 by Fun Louise, a Straight Engaged Female
Having already purchased the Dominix Deluxe Braun Leather Slapper, the Spanking Paddle seemed a perfect next step and part of the matching Dominix Deluxe Braun range.
I already have a couple of softer more gentle spanking paddles, but I love leather, the smell the feel, and I'm a real sucker for a matching set.
Packaged simply in a clear plastic bag, the Dominix Deluxe Braun Leather Spanking Paddle is inviting.
16.5 inches in length, a width that tapers from 1 inch to 2 inches, and rigid right up to the last 1.5 inches, this is a serious piece of kit.
The brown side is smooth, and firm and the black side lightly textured and lightly padded. I love the wrist strap. I would hate my OH to drop the paddle during play.
As always, I tested the paddle on myself first before inflicting any pain on my OH. I like to know how an item feels and how much it hurts, so that I can judge how forceful to be. The padded side I found quite a lot softer than I had expected, and I could slap quite firmly before any pain. The smooth brown side, that's a bit more business end, it's rigid and more painful with a satisfying sting after each blow. I was brimming with excitement when my OH came home.
I watched my OH fondle the new paddle with interest but a little hesitation. I grabbed it out of his hand and slapped him with it firmly on the black (softer) side. Oh no you don't, and he bent me over the dining table slapping my bottom quite hard. After a few firm slaps I was aroused to say the least, but my OH had disappeared. He returned with the slapper in his other hand. I was spanked hard with the paddle across my bottom while the slapper caressed and slapped my erect nipples. (Who says men can't do two things at once). Amazing sex followed.
The Dominix Deluxe Braun Spanking Paddle is a definite step up in our bondage fun, but I'm loving it. Despite quite a lot of firm and very firm blows, my bottom bore no lasting marks or soreness. I think this may change as our bondage play intensifies.
A serious piece of kit for intermediate to advanced bondage users. Very good quality, which is not represented by the low price. Great value, great quality, and great fun.
- Pros
- Firmness, quality, value for money and part of a matching range.
- Cons
- Nothing, truely nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great value, great quality, great fun. You must try this.

Sleek, Stern and oh so Sexual
Reviewed: March 17, 2015 by ScarletRose, a Straight Single Female
I was so pleased when I was sent this spanking paddle to review. I'm fairly new to impact play and although I have a spanking paddle already, this one just screams professionalism.
It comes in a plastic sleeve and has a leather tag with DOMINIX embossed onto it, which give it a rustic earthy feel.
The paddle itself feels divine. One side is smooth leather, perfect for that 'slap' kind of spank (my favourite), and it's the size of a ruler so would also be great in some schoolgirl roleplay. On the other side, the leather is padded and soft, which is great for smoothing over hot skin or for those more heavy 'thud' kind of spanks.
It's great to hold, and has a heavy weight to it, which also makes the product feel sturdy and strong, which is perfect for getting in the mood for a good session!
This is a fantastic addition to anyone's kit. The plain brown leather gives it a gentlemanly feel, and gives the product a high class feel.
Very happy sub bunny here!
- Pros
- Firm, gives a good whack, soft texture.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Fantastic paddle!

One Summers County elementary school student is the first in the state to attend class through the use of a robot.
The school board announced that it has purchased a VGO robot through a grant from the Hinton Area Foundation.
The robot allows a student who is unable to physically be in school to virtually attend.
The first student to use it is 4th grader Ellie Rhodes.
Last spring she underwent a bone marrow transplant and is isolated to her home because she cannot risk being exposed to any illness.
She will operate the robot from home, move freely around the school, attend class and socially interact with her peers.

Why Aren't the Democrats Screaming Bloody Murder?
According to Senator Lincoln Chafee, the only Republican to oppose the war, "I never believed that the Iraq war was about weapons of mass destruction. It was this grand vision of changing the Middle East."
Published on Monday, October 31, 2005 by CommonDreams.org
By Laura Santina
A recent Boston Globe article focused on the fact that the Democrats are struggling to find one voice on Iraq. We don't need one voice from the Democrats. We need every Democrat who voted for this war to apologize for this illegal and immoral war and to insist that we leave Iraq immediately.
On October 11, 2002, the Senate voted 77-23 and the House voted 296-133 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refused to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by UN resolutions.
It didn't matter that Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction and hadn't had any since 1995, according to UN Weapons Inspector, Scott Ritter, a fact he says was known by US, British, Israeli and German intelligence. It didn't matter that Iraq harbored no Al Qaeda terrorists. It didn't matter that the weapons inspections were moving along, despite Hussein's moodiness on the subject. It didn't matter that the whole world was watching Hussein and there was no way he could possibly bring any more harm to his own or any other people.
To get the Congress and we-the-people on board, in the words of General Anthony Zinni, the administration "cooked the books" and the majority of us nodded approvingly. On March 20, 2003, President Bush, well armed with the unchecked power handed to him by Congress, declared pre-emptive war against Iraq.
Well over two thousand Americans and, according to the Iraq Body Count Project, over 42,000 Iraqis have died to date. Thousands have been wounded. Many have been tortured. An anti-American insurgence has grown long, sharp teeth. No one has been held accountable. The truth was available to all members of Congress at the time of the vote and some chose to heed it. Senator Mark Dayton said, "There was never any suggestion in any briefings I attended that Iraq had or was about to acquire a nuclear weapons program." Senator Kent Conrad took it upon himself before the Iraq vote to read the book, "1919," a history of Iraq's independence. He learned about the long-standing conflicts between ethnic factions and knew that the Iraqi people would not be waving US victory flags. "I knew none of that was true," he said. Senator Dick Durbin didn't believe the hastily produced national intelligence document about Iraq's weapons, stating "I knew that much of the document was conjecture." According to Senator Lincoln Chafee, the only Republican to oppose the war, "I never believed that the Iraq war was about weapons of mass destruction. It was this grand vision of changing the Middle East."
Grand vision of the Middle East? How grand is a vision that requires bombing a country and depriving its children of medical care for ten year during sanctions? How grand, even effective, can the vision be if the visionaries don't even know the history of the region? How grand is a vision that requires killing over 42,000 people, over 26,000 of whom were civilians. How grand is a vision that destroys the infrastructure of another county and pays your own people big bucks to build it back up again?
Even though many of the dead and wounded are their own constituents and the children of their own constituents, the High Profile Democrats - the ones who have announced or who are rumored to be preparing to announce a bid for the Presidency - are not hollering about having been lied to. They are not apologizing to the families of the dead for their misguided votes. They are not insisting upon an immediate withdrawal from Iraq.
These Democrats who voted for the war, including Joseph Biden, Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein and Joe Lieberman, are muttering about political divisions, stewing on mindless strategy about why the US should stay in Iraq or mildly asking the administration for exit strategy plans.
To his credit, John Kerry has proposed a tepid plan for withdrawing the troops, but in so doing, he referred to the war as "a foreign policy misadventure." It is not a misadventure. It is a bloody, immoral foray backwards into cruel US colonialism which was illegally manipulated by a bankrupt administration and approved by a large majority of our elected officials. The only possible choice open to us is to denounce the action and bring it to an end as quickly as possible. The best way to support our troops is to bring them home before any more lives are lost.
Melvin Laird, former Republican Secretary of Defense, urges expeditious withdrawal contending, "Our presence is what feeds the insurgency in Iraq." Howard Zinn, historian and author, argues that "because the US occupation lies at the root of the civil war in Iraq, the slower you phase it out, the slower you end the insurgency. Troops should begin leaving as fast as ships and planes can bring them out."
It is time for the elected Democrats who supported this tragic debacle to come clean and start running.

"Why Aren't the Democrats Screaming Bloody Murder?"
It's about time people start to ask that question.
They haven't screamed about anything. Not the Vote Fraud (either election), Not the War. Not 911. Not the DU we're illegally spreading over Iraq. Not the shit in Haiti. Not the shit in Venezuila. Not the slap on the wrist punhishmnets being handed down for treasonous offenses. Not the raping of our economy with the WTO, FTAA, CAFTA, Now we're losing food stamps on top of it. Not the Patriot Act. Not the tax cuts for those who don't need it. .... I could go on...
The hardball question is WHY?
Q: WHY haven't the screamed?!
A: 2 parties, 1 class. We are not represented.
The only reason Kerry had even a "tepid" plan is because he was pressured to death by hard core Kucinich supporters. Kerry represents the same interests as other Republicrats from both parties. As did any Democratic nominee who wasn't ignored or marginalized by our "free press".
An apology from those who voted for US to be War Criminals would be nice; but do you really think there would be any sincerity to it?
Let's take a step back in time, shall we?
Lip service is getting us nowhere.
Voted for us to be war criminals....that is the best analysis of this sorry supposedly representative government from the White House on down to the House of Representatives in Washington, DC. ..the news media also shilled for them...and they still send out paid spokespersons to distort the facts...they have no shame.
Where are the leaders we need at this critical time? The current
group are deaf and dumb to the "truth" and time is running out.
Perhaps most of the congress representatives and senators are
mind controlled or cloned agents working for the world management team?
It would take an inspired and super courageous leader to shake up
the ether in DC---a storm of a person or persons. It certainly seems
like we need a miracle or a thousand. alcyone

can anyone explain the need for polital parties? why can't senators and reps not represent constituents of their states? political parties add nothing but redundancy and permit party leaders to amplify their own votes. in case anyone cares, separation of powers would be best served by a few hundred sens and reps voting the interests of their constits.
As to the question "why do we need political parties?" the answer is this:
A) Raising capital for media campaigns and travel expenses, which are enormous. A party machine has so far (pre-internet) been the most effective way to do this.
B) Generating "talking points" so there is no confusion as to the position of the candidates of that party.Creating an impression of a unified front to stand behind and will support that party's leaders when they are in the White House and Congress.
C) Stability over the long haul, something very dear to the founders of the USA and for good reason.
Possible way out?
A) Contribute as much cash as one can to orgs and candidates that stand up for real change, not the status quo.
B) If you are so inclined, RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE! Provide the most direct alternative possible: YOURSELF! Speak eloquently and be professional,have an impressive resume, and get the facts straight, and you should have no problem if you use the internet as the means to get up and running. You will need some rich sponsors. Seek and ye shall find.
C)Stop watching TV with it's dumbed down content and distortions created by the corporate interests which own the networks and/or sponsor them via advertising.TV shows, combined with alcohol and tobacco products,two of the mass media's biggest advertisers, has been scientifically proven to lower intelligence levels.Less viewers=lower ratings=less advertising revenue=cancellations=chance for alternative views via the shows that attract viewers with smarter and less slanted content.TV is a fairly successful brainwashing machine and the wealthy interests and political machines know this all too well. Use the Internet as a primary means of getting news and commentaries and participate in a big way.Hurt the media monster in the pocketbook where it counts!
I hate to say it...but you know what? The only explanation is that the Dems representing us have been losing for too long to the Repubs and have become numb. They need us, the people, to help them wake up. That's my conclusion. They truly have been around the toxic game playing too long and they have lost perspective and hope. Plus they want to keep their jobs and have hunkered down into safe mode. We the people haven't become numb because we are not in Washington and more of us are hurting due to the policies of the thugs in power. We need to help out elected Dems, the whole lot of them. Intervention time. It's time to wake up our representatives big time. Either they start remembering what they were elected to do, or we need to fire them.
With extremely rare exception, Democrats in Washington are nothing more than a different faction of the same pathetically corrupt party.
It's not exactly rocket science. They're fighting for the same corporate lobby dollars. Because of this they have to be very careful with how they "oppose" the right, so as not to unduly alienate the corporate criminals who are holding the purse strings and really running the country.
As a result of the blind trust of millions, the two factions of this self-serving army of corporate whores have far too many of us pointlessly arguing left vs. right, while they milk our country dry for their own disgusting benefit.
Without real finance reform, without a universal electoral system of unquestionable integrity, and without a wide awake populus willing to stand up and demand that these bastards stop lying to us and destroying OUR country, a democratic takeover of Congress in '06 means nothing. Maybe Bush gets impeached, removed from office and sent to jail (along with Cheney, Rummy and the rest of the evil cabal) where he belongs, but most likely not. Maybe Democrats take back the White House, but that will simlpy put us on the path to a fresh new scandal dujour.
Haven't we had enough yet?
John Perry
you are right on! John Kerry and the rest of the Demo's have played softball with the wicked right. Only cause they're afraid to lose touch with Corp money!
This chasm in the body politic, our system of elections and governance exposes the fallacies of the system. The arguments are now far beyond "Democrat" and "Republican" as they both receive their support from the too-powerful corporate interests. Neither have obvious reason to represent their voting constituents any longer.
Mistakes made 20+ years ago (such as not limiting the lobbying interests and failure to develop alternative energy sources - both errors made back in the 70's) have been building up to what we have today - systemic corruption, democracy overwhelmed by capitalism, and now war being fought for what has been exposed as lies and deceit.
This isn't simple hindsight. We KNEW that lobbying was simply wrong. It subverts the meaning of 'representation'. We KNEW that alternative energy should have been a much higher priority - nothing was really new about 'peak oil'. All the brain power and financial power put into developing the excessive military technology of dubious value should have been put into developing alternative energies.
Again, the dominant social structure in modern society, corporations, has subverted democracy. Capitalism is out of control.
MR. REID AND YOUR COLLEAGUES, please note that we the poeple of the United States are not interested in what you are against. Please wake up what is your alternative to the Republican Conservative programs. Yes many of want them gone, but what are you offering? Yoou have no plateform, you articulate nothing but what you are against. You act more like the Republican party light than truely an alternative party. None of you can say you where against this war and the claim of being misled is ridulous, that is your job. But, instead you jumped onto the Bush War bandwagon. Now you are against the war. But you do not articulate how we get out? The Independent voters, the majority of the people of the United States are at all listen to you because you have nothing to say. The prees is nothing short of the cheerleaders for the Bush Cabal, but you have not dared point this out for fear they will not like you. The cowardess the runs through the Democratic party leadership is remarkable. Why do you fear the Bush-Cheney mob?

Tough Subfloor
Hi everyone, this is my first post and here is our problem right now. We (my wife and I) are currently re-doing an entire bathroom and in the demolition phase. We have removed all the cbu, dryall, tiles, toilte, vanity, tub, etc..
The only obstacle right now is the subfloor. Our subfloor is plywood (I believe) that is screwed to our floor joists/planks. The screws are a combination of Phillips head and Robertson head screws and screwed into the planks and joists in an irregular pattern.
The problem is many of the screw heads are corroded and/or stripped.. and its very difficult to get them out. So the question is what are some good ways of removing the screws? I have tried putting naval jelly on the heads to see if that helps and it did not. Our next attempt will be either cutting slots into the head with a circular saw.. or maybe using an extractor bit. Is there anything we may be missing? Getting this floor out is all thats lefts really for our demo and its becoming a real pain..
Have you cut the subfloor on the out side walls where it runs under the walls yet?
Just make cuts between the joist and use a bar like this and the screws will snap off or pull out.
Or you can cut and remove the area between the joist and cut off the screws with a sawsall with a metal cutting blade.
Waste of time trying to get the screws out if there that bad.
Quick question, why are you taking out the subfloor?
It's going to do a small amount of damage not enougth to matter.
A wonder bar will work but you will be the one doing all the work not the bar.
Northern Tool is where I got mine.
No box store will have them.
- Since we are redoing the whole bathroom, we asked ourselves why not re-do the subfloor since if its ever going to be done nows a good time.
- The floor is as follows Joists|Planks|Plywood|Some kind of black adhesive(Mastic?)|Vinyl|CBU|Tile we are now looking at the vinyl flooring layer. There is also some rotted wood that used to be by the tub and around the toilet.
- Once we removed all the CBU and Tile, there were a lot of screws that were sticking out throughout the remaining floor. These would have to be removed before laying new tile.
- We are adding a "mini-laundry-room" to the bathroom and want to make the whole floor completely waterproof with something like advantec + durock + kerdi.. probably overkill but so be it.
Its available at HD and I can get it today and would not have to wait for shipping anyway
A roofing shovel will is what I use some times to pull plywood off.
What on earth is that link?!?....... hey any one want to travel to a different dimention in time and space...click the link lol
Could be malicious... wouldn't recommend it
Looks like a spammer.
$84 for that? NO WAY! I just run my circular saw between the joists. If I have to cut across the joists, I set my blade to the correct height and make the cuts. Although I try to avoid running through the screws, my carbide-tipped blade has no problems hitting a few here and there. Then, I get a crowbar up under and pry the subfloor up and out.
I agree, I thought it was a little on the high side too for what is basically a steel rod.. I ended up going to HD and even though they didn't have the Grizzly Bar they had a similar looking bar for about $20 so I went with that.
I like the idea of a circular saw cutting between the joists.. I may try that.. I don't know why I didn't think of that before! :thumbsup:

Conquest: 400 X-Types are expected to be sold in Australia this year.
7 June 2001
JAGUAR will present a challenge to BMW when it launches the eagerly awaited X-Type compact saloon in Australia in mid-October, pricing its four-car range directly against its Bavarian rival.
The most important and most affordable Jaguar ever will come in a two-model, two-engine range with pricing starting at about $70,000 and topping out just under $90,000 - exchange rate fluctuations permitting.
The price settings are being established using the iconic BMW 325i and 330i sedans as a guide, while X-Type will undercut the premium priced Mercedes-Benz C-class.
It is a policy that will be reflected in many other markets. Australia is simply a microcsom of a battle that will be fought out world-wide as Ford-owned Jaguar attempts to double its sales from 100,000 to 200,000 over the next three years, courtesy of its fourth and cheapest car line.
It says 80 per cent of the sales will be conquests, many of them from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
In Australia, 400 X-Types are expected to be sold this year with another 1000 sales forecast in 2002. That would account for 50 per cent of local sales next year, understandable considering that previously the cheapest Jaguar was the V6 S-Type priced at $88,000.
And that's the essence of the X-Type. While the likes of Audi, Lexus, Alfa Romeo and Peugeot struggle to attain prestige, Jaguar has it in spades.
It is literally descending on the compact luxury sector trying to present the company's combination of luxury and performance in an affordable package to a new and younger audience.
Kicking the range off will be the 2.5-litre V6 Sport at about $70,000, while the 2.5 SE will be priced around $2000 more. The 3.0-litre Sport should be set about midway between them and the close to $90,000 3.0 SE, which is the best equipped of the four cars.
Standard across the range, in a first for Jaguar, is all-wheel drive. Dubbed "Traction-4", it has a 40/60 front rear torque split, although a viscous coupling allows torque distribution to be redistributed if it senses tyre slippage.
The 4WD platform is suspended by MacPherson strut suspension up-front and a multi-link torsion control link system at the rear. The origins of the systems are from the Ford Mondeo medium car, along with some other componentry invisible to the driver.
The 2.5-litre AJV6 engine produces 145kW at 6800rpm and 244Nm at 3000rpm. Its big brother, already seen in the S-Type, produces 172kW at 6800rpm and 284Nm at 3000rpm. Both engines have double overhead camshafts, 24 valves and variable cam timing and inlet manifold length.
In another Jaguar first, these engines are mounted transversely across the engine bay.
Standard equipment on the Sport models is a five-speed manual transmission, sports suspension, leather and cloth sports seats, colour keyed exterior features, grey stained bird's eye maple interior, in-dash single CD player, 17-inch alloy wheels and a rear lip spoiler.
Cruise control and trip computer are unique to the SE, which also includes chrome-finished exterior features, 16-inch wheels and a full leather and wood interior. Exclusive to the 3.0-litre SE is an electro-chromatic rear view mirror, CD autochanger with six-disc capacity and power front seats.
The five-speed automatic transmission with J-gate shifter is standard on SE and optional on the Sport. It is expected to be specified in 95 per cent of Australian X-Type sales. Jaguar also forecasts 75 per cent of buyers will plump for the 2.5 V6 and 80 per cent for the SE.
The safety package is claimed to be the best offered by Jaguar and includes occupancy sensing front, side and curtain airbags and pretensioning front seatbelts. Anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution are standard and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is optional.
And DSC is one of a number of meaty and no doubt costly add-ons for this car. DVD-based satellite navigation, a touch-screen display system, TV, GSM phone and voice activation for audio, phone and climate control are all extra.

Telenor Pays OTE $938 Million for Bulgaria Mobile DivisionAdam Ewing
Telenor ASA, which agreed to buy Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA's Bulgarian mobile unit for 717 million euros ($938 million), said Bulgaria's lower level of debt and smartphone penetration make the country an ideal market to continue its global expansion.
"Bulgaria has a significantly lower debt than in countries surrounding it, which gives a bit more fiscal headroom," Kjell-Morten Johnsen, head of Telenor's European operations, said on a conference call today. "We have exposure to several of these markets from before. We've been through a lot of change in that region and have landed on our feet in a very good way."
The acquisition of Globul, the second-largest mobile carrier in Bulgaria with a 36 percent share of the market, allows Fornebu, Norway-based Telenor to expand in central and eastern Europe while enabling Athens-based Hellenic to reduce costs. Germany's Deutsche Telekom AG, which holds a 40 percent stake in Hellenic, also known as OTE, considered aiding the unit in August. The deal will be completed in the third quarter.
Telenor, the Nordic region's largest telecommunications operator, generated 58 percent of its revenue outside Norway, Sweden and Denmark last year and has continued to push into faster-growing countries in Europe and Asia to boost sales. The carrier already operates in Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro as well as Thailand and Malaysia.
Telenor shares fell 0.5 percent to 129.3 kroner at 3:01 p.m. in Oslo, bringing the advance this year to 15 percent. OTE climbed 1.4 percent to 6.52 euros in Athens.
Debt Reduction
By selling for 6.8 times the unit's estimated 2013 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, "it looks as though OTE has got the right side of this transaction, with Telenor paying a pretty full price for an asset with declining Ebitda in a region with problematic macro-economic conditions," Espirito Santo said in a note to clients today.
OTE, Greece's second-biggest company by market value, has cut jobs and sold international assets to reduce debt as the nation's recession damps demand for its products. In January, the company issued 700 million euros of five-year bonds to redeem more than 1 billion euros of notes due this year and next. Demand for those notes exceeded supply, with OTE Chief Executive Officer Michael Tsamaz calling it a "vote of confidence" in the company.
Smartphone Use
Globul has been in Bulgaria since 2001, Telenor said. At the end of 2012, the carrier had 4.5 million subscribers. The company, along with OTE's Germanos Bulgaria unit, had revenue of 378 million euros and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of 135 million euros.
Bulgaria has a relatively low level of smartphone penetration and mobile data use, which makes the country an ideal candidate for growth, Johnsen said on the call.
"We're confident Bulgaria is similar to what we have experienced and fits our way of working," he said.
OTE reported a fourth-quarter net loss of 43.7 million euros on Feb. 28 as sales slipped to 1.1 billion euros from 1.2 billion euros a year earlier. OTE is scheduled to report its first-quarter results May 8. Telenor reported April 26 first-quarter sales slipped 1.6 percent to 24.7 billion kroner ($4.22 billion), while net income rose to 3.6 billion kroner.

Even if Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone wishes to join Twitter, the 82-year-old cannot, fearing the implications of the 140 characters he may type.
"His lawyers veto every time - petrified at the consequences. Pity!" tweeted former Olympic chief Michael Payne earlier this month.
Payne is a part of the F1 management team and is Ecclestone's special advisor.
Ecclestone currently has a $650 million lawsuit filed against him at New York State Supreme Court by an investment firm which claimed that it was unfairly bunted out during the sale of the sport in 2005.


text: We are heading back to WDW for President's Day Week. This will be our first off-site stay in 19 years. We are staying at Orange Lake, which I guess is just about 4 miles outside the Epcot entrance. Can anyone offer any suggestions to getting to the parks? Where to park our car? How best to move from one park to another if we decide to hop from one to another? Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance.

Scientists from the Université de Montréal and McGill University have re-engineered a human enzyme, a protein that accelerates chemical reactions within the human body, to become highly resistant to harmful agents such as chemotherapy, according to a new study published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry.
"Our team modified and decoded an enzyme structure," says Joelle Pelletier, a professor at the Université de Montréal's Department of Chemistry. "We discovered, to our surprise, that our intervention allowed the heart of the enzyme to increase its mobility. This unusual mobility caused the enzyme to resist the chemotherapy agent methotrexate – a result we never predicted and one that offers promise."
The research team made its discovery as it sought ways to help correct genetic diseases. "Our goal is to improve the injection of corrective genes in people suffering from genetic diseases," say Pelletier who is also co-director of PROTEO, a Quebec-based research group on the function, structure and engineering of proteins. "This discovery will lead to promising new avenues."
"We were intrigued to find the enzyme's internal flexibility was impacted by our modifications and that this fact played such a crucial role for resistance," says Albert Berghuis, a professor at the McGill University Department of Biochemistry and Canada Research Chair in Structural Biology. "We can now harness this insight to further advance therapies for genetic diseases such as leukemia."
This study was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Midget Shamrocks Shut The Door In Defeating Levittown
It was a great day all-around for the Broad Channel Athletic Club Midget Shamrocks as they defeated Levittown 30-12. The nine-year old Shamrock players were all over the place by making great tackles on defense. Great tackles by were made on defense by Anthony Perrotto, Vinnie Finizio, Matt Trudden, Marco Minichino, Nikolaus manzi, Zack Warner, Timmy Panetta and Alex Passarello.
The offense got to work when QB Luke Schreiner scrambled 40 yards for the touchdown to give the Shamrocks a 6-0 lead.
The Shamrocks defense, which was led by four tackles from Andrew Conklin, Brian GaNun, Kenny Mc- Gowan and George Baroudos, would stop Levittown on their next offensive drive.
BCAC responded on their next drive with running back Paulie Yodice (48 yards on 6 carries) leading the charge. Chris Manfres wasn't fa behind as the runningback scampered for a 41 yard touchdown run to increase the lead to 12-0.
Levittown got on the scoreboard to make it 12-6 but BCAC quickly responded. Schreiner connected with running back Chris Manfre for a 56 yard touchdown pass to increase the Shamrocks lead to 18-6.
BCAC cornerback Marco Minichino stepped in front of a Levittown pass attempt for the interception on the next drive. The offense, led by excellent blocks from Mike Perrotto, Billy Collins, Charlie Gavigan and Mike "Rudy" Conneely, gave FB Tom Kelly the chance to run into the end zone. Kelly's 25-yard touchdown run increased the lead to 24-6.
Levittown decreased the lead to 24- 12 on a touchdown score. BCAC iced the game on offense with a 22-yard run by Minichino, a 10-yard run by Vincent Finizio and a 5-yard run by Alex Passarella. Vinnie Sprito finished things off as he gained 21 of his 49 yards on the ground for a touchdown and a 30-12 win.
The Shamrocks made one of their best showing of the week and they thank the fans for their loud support. The coaching staff would like to thank the 10-year old players for sitting out the game and giving the youngsters the opportunity to shine.
This Saturday night, everyone is invited to come out to BCAC Field at 8 p.m. to support the home team against Seaford. Go Shamrocks!

text: 1st post here. I searched on the internet to find a suburban forum for this issue and ended up here. After reading posts and searching for almost an hour, I realized I couldn't find what I was looking for and the postings here seemed good with little bashing. Anyway, my Burb needs some new tires and I'm always looking for factory takeoffs. Mine is a 97. Is there a limit to which factory takeoffs will fit? Up to 2004 16"s should be fine right? What about the new 17's? If there is a thread discussing, please point me in the direction, but I couldn't find it. Thanks in advance for your help! Jeff

It all began when my son was younger than he is now. I would provide a more specific age but I seem to age two years for my children's every one, which means that I am forgetful. Anyway, he was little and we bought a Lego Advent Calendar because we thought it would be fun to watch him countdown to Christmas.
He loved it–but who wouldn't love opening a tiny gift every day for 24 days?
We did the Lego calendar for a couple years and then switched to Playmobil and then my daughter was born so we started stuffing extras into the Playmobil calendar so each kid would get something and then we realized that the kids were outgrowing Playmobil so we started buying 24 little treats and goyabas (a Brazilian word that means "little useless things") and the whole thing became this big pain in the adventass!
Then, a couple of years ago, we decided to scale back on the calendar. We started doing a mix of candies and family activities. One day, the kids might get a candy cane and the next they might get a coupon for a special family movie night. The kids liked the activities and we were no longer drowning in goyabas.
This year, we weren't feeling crafty and didn't want to wrap all the candies and coupons so I bought blue envelopes and made a set for each kid and put coupons inside. The activity coupons speak for themselves but I also made cards that have riddles and trivia questions to be answered as well as tasks to be completed in order for them to earn their prize.
That's right–this year, I finally got the performing monkeys I wished for when I had these children in the first place!
Dance monkeys, dance!
So far, they've had to answer window-related riddles to get decorative window clings (What kind of room has no windows or doors? Why did the window go to the doctor?) and had to perform their favorite Christmas carols in order to get a chocolate bear. Of course, the downside to this is that I had to listen to a hip-hop version of Jingle Bells sung while accompanied by leather chair percussion.
I wasn't sure how the kids would feel about this change in our "calendar" but the reviews have been good.
"I love our advent calendar this year! So fun!" – Zeca, age 7
"The advent calendar is so much more fun this year because we actually get to do something!" – Miguel, age 11
My hope is that next year, I'll be able to simply text them, "Day 1: bring me some coffee" and reward them with a Hershey kiss.
Advent victory will be mine!
