Inside BTR's Big Time Movie Premiere
Big Time Rush celebrated the release of their TV movie, Big Time Movie, with an orange carpet event — and Seventeen was there to get in on all the action. We chatted with the BTR guys (Psst! We also talked with One Direction!) about their movie and upcoming tour with Cody Simpson.
Seventeen: Is there anything you pulled off in the movie that you wish you could pull off in real life?
Logan Henderson: Driving an Aston Martin. I didn't actually do that because I can't drive a stick shift.
James Maslow: I beat up a few really huge body guards in the movie and I wish I could do that in real life.
Carlos Pena Jr.: My stunt double actually got to ride a dirt bike and jump it into a huge building. That wasn't really me, but I wish I could do that.
Kendall Schmidt: He made it look pretty easy. I actually got to jump out of an airplane, but it wasn't a real airplane, so I'd like to do it for real. I'd like to go sky-diving!
17: Have you ever rescued a girl in real life?
Logan Henderson: I've been waiting for that one moment where I had to be super heroic and pull a girl out of a car and I lift the car up.
17: How is your summer tour with Cody Simpson going to be different from the tour you're wrapping up?
Kendall Schmidt: It's going to be bigger and better. This tour is going to be elevated beyond anything we've done before.
Carlos Pena Jr.: Right now we're playing shows with about 5,000 people, but this summer it's going to be for 15,000 to 20,000 people. It's going to be a lot bigger, a lot better, and a lot more songs.
Watch Big Time Rush's original TV movie, Big Time Movie, tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon — and check out the super personal dating stories One Direction told us at the premiere here!

Tubular Skylight - Flashing Issues
Hello, we are remodeling our bathroom (upper level main bath) and would like to install one of the "tubular" skylight kits, since they are pretty inexpensive and seem to be reasonable easy for a non-pro to install. Our issue is this ... our roof is very pitched and has THREE layers of shingles on it. We are worried about rain, snow leakage ....It seems as though his could present some issues with the flashing thickness, etc. HAs anyone encountered this scenario? Does anyone have any recommendations as to one brand over another? Would it be beneficial t:eek:o order a larger diameter tube over a smaller one? Any suggestions/help wold be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
I suggest sticking to one thread on the subject instead of 5 threads :whistling2:
my apologies, i am new to this

Amylin Rises as Buyout Offers Expected Shortly
Five companies apparently want to take diabetes drug company Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN) to the prom, and all the attention is sending Amylin's shares higher. Merck (MRK), Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), AstraZeneca (AZN) , Novartis (NVS), and Sanofi (SNY), are all preparing bids, which could come as soon as the end of this week, CNBC reported.
Cash-rich pharmaceutical giants are looking for smaller biotech firms that can help them grow and overcome the patent cliff.
Amylin shares rose 2.3% after the CNBC report.
Correction: A previous reference to GlaxoSmithKline making a bid was incorrect.

Filmers: Adam Porter, Matt Porter, Mark Wiitanen, and Mike Miller.
Autumn Line has been bringing you shred movies for the past two seasons, and their new turnout, Technicolor, promises to top their previous releases. With a broader travel range and a heavier riding lineup including Cody Rosenthal, Ben Bilocq, and Brett Butcher, the boys at Autumn Line have set out to bring you a video that will simply get you stoked to go out and ride. "We're definitely not the Indiana Jones of snowboard videos this summer, but we'd say we're more like that Zohan Adam Sandler movie," says Filmer and Editor Adam Porter. "Technicolour will not be easily forgotten. The colors, audio, spots, and people all came together to make such a bright and exciting movie, that is more of a glimpse into these rider's lives then just a typical snowboard movie." Regardless of whether or not the Zohan movie is anything like classic Adam Sandler, Technicolour has potential to be one of the coolest films of the year.

NYT Ombud: Paper Shouldn't Have Hired Kristol
As a conservative media critic, I often hear liberal journalists say that the reason there aren't more libertarians or conservatives in the media is simply because lefties are more interested in news writing and opinioneering than righties. They are quite quick to deny there is any kind of discrimination--despite the experiences of Susan Molinari at CBS, Ben Domenech at the Washington Post and pretty much any right-leaning journalist in the business who doesn't make a habit of bashing Republicans like Pat Buchanan.
This pattern of vitriolic anger and rage at the temerity of a right-winger daring to venture into the left's inner sanctum of the press is once again on display with the New York Times's recent hiring of Weekly Standard founder Bill Kristol to be a columnist. Things have gotten so out of control that even the paper's public editor (aka public fig leaf) is protesting the hire. As before, inevitably, leftish reporters and editors are raising objections about the slightest thing. In Kristol's case, as Gabriel Schoenfeld writes (h/t Power Line), Times public editor Clark Hoyt is straining at a comment he made during an appearance on Fox News Channel:
Was it wrong for the New York Times to install William Kristol as an op-ed columnist? The move to put an outspoken neoconservative in such a visible position is roiling the newspaper, inside and out. First, a hailstorm of hate mail arrived at the paper for hiring a "war criminal"--one of the milder epithets hurled in Kristol's direction by some 700 letter-writers, all of whom but one were venting against the appointment. Then, taking note of this groundswell of reader opinion under the headline, "He May Be Unwelcome, But We'll Survive," the newspaper's own ombudsman, Clark Hoyt, called the decision a serious mistake: not because Kristol is an "aggressive unapologetic champion" of the war in Iraq--but for something else.
That something else is remarks uttered by Kristol on Fox News Sunday in June 2006. "I think the attorney general has an absolute obligation to consider prosecution" of the New York Times is what Kristol told a television audience shortly after the newspaper splashed details of the highly classified Terrorist Finance Tracking Program on its front page.
This "leap to prosecution," wrote Hoyt on Sunday in his weekly column, "smacked of intimidation." It also revealed "disregard for both the First Amendment and the role of a free press in monitoring a government that has a long history of throwing the cloak of national security and classification over its activities." Someone of such ill repute is not one to be "rewarded with a regular spot in front of arguably the most elite audience in the nation."
Is Hoyt right or wrong about Kristol? For the light it sheds on how the most elite journalists in the nation regard themselves, this little contretemps is rich in a variety of ways. [...]
On the eve of publication, Bill Keller, the top editor at the Times, was personally told by John Snow, Secretary of the Treasury, that the story would undermine "a highly successful counterterrorism program" and alert "terrorists to the methods and sources used to track their money trails." The co-chairmen of the 9/11 commission, former Gov. Thomas H. Kean and former Representative Lee H. Hamilton, one a Democrat, the other a Republican, also weighed in with the highest Times officials, imploring them to spike a story that would harm U.S. counterterrorism efforts. To no avail.
In light of the Times's cavalier attitude toward the publication of classified information, does Kristol's suggestion that the Attorney General "consider" prosecution really smack of intimidation, as Hoyt suggests? That is certainly one way of looking at Kristol's remarks. But another way would be that they smack only of a desire to uphold the rule of law. In this instance a newspaper had compromised a classified program aimed at tracing terrorists who had already killed thousands of Americans. Under such circumstances, the Attorney General would be remiss if he did not scrutinize the statutes to see if such behavior was enjoined by law.
Hoyt calls this perspective "disregard" for the First Amendment. But is there any plausible theory of the Constitution under which that make any sense? "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" is what the First Amendment flatly says. But the courts have long held, and the press itself has long readily accepted, that these seemingly unequivocal words are fully compatible with legal restrictions on what journalists can and cannot say in print. Statutes forbidding certain kinds of commercial speech and punishing libel, to which virtually no one inside the media ever objects, have long been held to be fully constitutional abridgements of freedom of the press. Can it really be that Congress can make it crime, as it has, to publish false advertising--the unfounded claim, say, that Crest shines teeth brighter than Colgate--while it cannot make it a crime to publish material that causes grave danger to national security? Hoyt's view is nothing but unadulterated applesauce, and so, in the few cases that have come before it, the courts have held.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just a quick reminder that our Lexington KY Ducks Unlimited Banquet Dinner is coming up on Feb.12th at the Red Mile Clubhouse in Lexington.
We have an awesome line-up between the fantastic dinner that Bayou Bluegrass' chef Matt Falcone has in store and the interesting list of auction and raffle items that we have amassed.
Our Games, raffles, and auctions will showcase some very interesting items ranging from local artisans and high end KY bourbon gift baskets, to 8 different riffles and shotguns, along with a Silver Labrador puppy, local day and overnight hunting excursions, some DU merchandise, HAND CARVED working decoys, finished needle point belts, etc., etc!
The menu sounds FANTASTIC as usual, and reads: Duck/Chicken/Sausage Gumbo, Cajun Potato salad, Southern slow cooked green beans, Southern Jambalaya, Smoked Beef brisket, New Orleans Bread Pudding with KY bourbon sauce. All served buffet style with a cash bar. Chef Matt Falcone with Bayou Bluegrass catering has been creating our awesome banquet meals for the past couple years and its always wildly successful!
Prepaid tickets are available from, $50 single, $75 couple, $20 greenwing(children under 18, includes membership), $300 bronze sponsor (can be paid with CC over years period @~$25 month), and a Valentines Day couples special at $100 per couple (includes wine from Lover's Leap, hors d'oeuvres, and molten chocolate lava cake for two). Tickets can be purchased online here http://www.ducks.org/kentucky/events or feel free to contact myself or any other committee member for tickets or more questions. The ticket prices will go up $25 at the door, as it costs us much more to feed everyone without an exact head count. The doors will open at 6:00pm, with dinner served at 7:00pm , and live/silent auction to follow at 8:00pm.
Don't forget as always, 100% of all proceeds go to Ducks Unlimited which is a certified 501 c-3 non-profit. DU is the second largest Conservation organization in the world, only behind The Nature Conservancy. Ducks Unlimited relies on its volunteers and members to raise grass roots dollars for these conservation efforts. Our Volunteer committee has worked very hard, trying to make this the best and most enjoyable Ducks Unlimited Banquet to hit the Central KY area.
Hope to see you there !

Absolutely Not
I have a great deal of respect for Condoleezza Rice and usually find myself agreeing with her on principal but this time I think she is absolutely wrong.
OTTAWA – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice suggested Tuesday that Israel must loosen controls at border crossings to allow freer passage for Palestinians and economic development in areas that would one day be an independent Palestinian state.
Israel has given enough and with each concession they make they are repaid with suicide bombers. If the Palestinians want more then it's time they start dealing with their bad guys and putting an end to the terrorist attacks.
One Response to Absolutely Not
Sherry – You should know better than to trust what you read from some of these "reporters". See the comments from a contributor to LGF: http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=18001#c0086

Honda is reportedly working on three variants of the next-generation 2014 Honda Fit, which will debut by the end of next year. The new Fit will be offered as a hatchback, sedan and Honda is also working on a Fit-based crossover.
Honda is currently deciding if all three models will be sold in the U.S., but a shift toward small cars may increase demand for the Fit sedan. Ford, Hyundai and Nissan also offer sedan versions of their subcompacts.
Honda expects the Fit to become its fastest growing model with sales jumping to 200,000 units annually over the next four years. Honda is also building a new plant in Mexico for the Fit that is scheduled to open in 2014. The new plant will be able to produce up to 200,000 vehicles a year.

We ECed DD starting at 6 days old, but it was kinda on a whim. We already had all our cloth diapering supplies, so we pretty much just used prefolds in a cover, and I still have those prefolds, but they're getting worn out, so I'm thinking of supplementing them with a few more of something different that might improve my experience this time around.
First, let me say I'm glad for EC. I'm excited to start by trying for the first pee this time around. DD graduated (besides occasional misses that still happen if I don't remind her, but that's not often) between 20 and 21 months, and I loved that EC was a great way to meet her needs and to communicate with her.
The things I'm hoping to make better this time around are mostly about pottying when we're out and about. DD was not happy if she had to pee in her diaper when we were out, so we pottied her then as well. However, so many restrooms don't have changing tables, and while I figured out how to change and clean a poopy diaper in conjunction with pottying my infant while standing in a restroom stall, DH would have to lay her down just to get her diaper off and on, and a men's restroom floor is not where I want my newborn laying. We ended up just having me take her potty when we were out until she was in trainers/panties. I didn't like always being the one to have to leave what I'm doing to offer the potty.
I know that one solution is to carry around a portable potty, but I really don't like carrying around a lot of stuff, and there's already so much to carry around with a new baby, not to mention the toddler that I already have. Actually, one of the best things about EC from my perspective is that there's not nearly as much to carry around, and I have absolutely loved the fact that since DD graduated, I can leave the house with my wallet, keys, and toddler, and nothing else for short trips. I'm not looking forward to carrying around a whole lot of stuff again. I'll get over it, but I'm not looking to add more than I have to.
What I'm really looking for is an easy system where we could pull down baby's pants and pull them up when we're done for the most part. It would need to have snaps or velcro on the sides for times that changes are necessary, and it would absolutely have to be made of natural (non-synthetic) materials up against baby's skin and preferably organic. I'm fine with a PUL layer that doesn't touch baby's skin, and I'd really like to have it be pretty darn waterproof since sometimes things happen when you're out that you just can't change a wet diaper as quickly as you wish you could, kinda like an AIO/Trainer combo, though hopefully not as thick and difficult to dry as most AIO's. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but I guess if it's just something that we're using when we're out, I wouldn't need a whole lot. I'm also looking for something to use immediately after birth, but I see most things don't have anything for under 6 months, but I'd love something that wouldn't get outgrown right away. I know I'm being rediculous. Newborns grow very quickly. Any ideas on what would fit the bill?
I'm also concerned about meeting the needs of both children while doing EC since it seems pretty all-consuming at first. I know I'll figure it out, but I'd love to her some thoughts from some BTDT mamas.
Have you seen ECA pants? We used them from about 4-11 mo and they were awesome, ESP for out and about...kinda pricey but we only had 4 of each, waterproof for out/night, non- waterproof for at home...they have newborn sizes I think.
here is a link- http://hyenacart.com/ecawarebaby/index.php
ive only got one kiddo but I would think wearing your new bub as much as possible would help meet both kids needs- it keeps you available to your older one and usually signals were much clearer for us in a wrap/carrier...
good luck and enjoy

They don't fit your organic criteria, but I used Fuzzi Bunz for such things. There are tons of pocket diapers out there, and I bet there are organic ones that are easy enough to find. I think a snapping pocket diaper would be something to look for first. I think Bum Genius may have one. They have sizes or one-size options, and the one-size are giant on a NB, but they work.
Thanks for the responses, and keep them coming. I think the ecapants would be wonderful, but they aren't organic, but I haven't found anything quite so easy. Hmm... can you buy a pattern? I wonder if I could get my mom to make me some custom knock-offs. I definitely need to do more babywearing this time around. I have a sleepywrap that I'm hoping to wear instead of a shirt around the house for some great skin-to-skin, and I need to get a sling for out and about.
Thanks for the tip about the wetbag in a pinch. You're right! A newborn pee should be just fine in there.
Yes, something similar to fuzzibunz would be great! Both fuzzibunz and bum genius use a synthetic layer to make the baby feel dry, and I would prefer something organic or at least natural so that the baby can feel wet, and I would love it if it could be pulled up and down as well, but I love the pocket diaper concept for being able to take it apart and wash it in pieces so that it can be more thoroughly washed and not take as long to dry. Does a pocket trainer in natural materials exist? Maybe something else to consider asking my mom to try making.
I don't know if they'll be small enough, but GroVia, Flip (BumGenius), and I think others just all came out with trainers. The ABC kids expo just happened and many of the big cloth diaper names announced trainers. I think some of them are starting to stock now, but maybe not until December. Just a heads up!
I did pull the FB up and down like undies. It mostly worked, and if it didn't I just re-tucked the tabs a bit.
There are organic Bum Genius. Here. It seems they are not pockets, but AIOs.
I'll keep an eye out for more cloth trainers, but it seems like they're all for older kids. The Flip trainers look great but only go down to 20lbs. DD graduated at about 20 lbs... The Gro-via ones go down to 18 lbs. I'll keep an eye out in the rest of the cloth diaper world, but it seems like you have to go EC specific to get anything small enough for a babe.
Hmm... has anybody else had good luck pulling regular cloth diapers up and down like panties over a babe? I haven't tried, but I do wonder if it would work with what I've got.
I think the lady who makes ECA is on here- call sign Riboflavin- maybe suggest to her that an organic line would be well received...

Has anybody used these or any customization thereof? They look like they both have snaps and can be pulled up and down. Any idea what they mean by "2% polyester backing" or what the material on the outside and around the legs is? How waterproof are they? How do they hold up over time, and how many dryer cycles would they take to dry?
I have used her SIMPLYcovers. They pulled up and down and the edges were FOE and the outer was PUL. They were not bad at all. I don't know about the training pants that you show, tho.
I imagine you could email her and ask lots of questions.
i used sassycloth trainers and they are not organic but she will custom make orders so maybe worth giving her a call and seeing what she can do.
They are reasonably priced as well.
I love the ecapants but they are too expensive to be practical, i have 4.

Boingo Wireless, the operator of the global Wi-Fi hotspot network, said today that it has gone live at Dallas Love Field, the latest airport launch for the company. Boingo unveiled the new Wi-Fi network as part of the airport's upgraded North Concourse. Boingo offers up a multi-carrier, Wi-Fi network in the terminal, which lets customers of such partners as Spring, Skype, Verizon, and NTT DOCOMO access wireless Internet via an 802.11n network. Airports have been a big area of expansion for Boingo in recent months; the company says it now managed Wi-Fi services at more than 65 airports worldwide, including London Heathrow, Chicago O'Hare, New York John F. Kennedy, Beijing Capital International, and many others. The one airport that Boingo doesn't service? Its own home airport at Los Angeles International (LAX).

"There is no question our oil dependence is threatening our national security. It helps fuel the fundamentalism we're fighting. Our oil dependence limits our options and our influence around the world, because oil rich countries pursuing policies we oppose can stand up to us, while oil dependent allies may be afraid to stand with us. If we don't change our policy, oil will further empower the countries that produce it, restrict our options, and undermine our economic and physical security. Where we can have the most impact is stopping our demand for oil from increasing as our economy grows. We know where to start: expand alternative fuels and improve vehicle efficiency. We can do this. We can absolutely do this."
Senator Joe Biden
Senator Biden believes that in the near term, our energy policy should focus on energy security -- which we can start to strengthen right now by reducing our own oil consumption and leading other major consumers to follow suit. He would:
Increase Fuel Efficiency of Vehicles
* Raise Fuel Economy Standards By 1 Mile Per Gallon More Each Year: Instead of focusing on a fleetwide average, Senator Biden would advance fuel economy by upgrading to a better system that combines protection for U.S. automobile manufacturing jobs with predictable increases in fuel efficiency standards for cars, SUVs and light trucks. The new system would set fuel economy standards based on the attributes of a vehicle (such as its size and weight), with individualized fuel economy targets that increase by 4 percent per year (or approximately 1 mile per gallon each year) reaching a 40 mpg average by 2017 which will save approximately the amount of oil we import from Saudi Arabia.
* Invest in New Super-Efficient Technology: The market for lithium ion batteries - those needed for super-efficient plug-in hybrids which can get 100 mpg - is dominated by foreign competitors like the Japanese, Koreans and Chinese. That is because these countries have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in developing and supporting the technology. Senator Biden believes the United States needs to make an equal investment in new technology like lithium ion batteries. He has proposed legislation that would double investment in the development of advanced lithium ion batteries needed for plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles - increasing it from $42 million to $100 million a year for five years.
Increase Use of Renewable Fuels
* Require New Vehicles Be Flex-Fuel Vehicles: Senator Biden would require all cars marketed in the US be capable of running on E85/flex fuel by 2017 (cost estimated to be $100/car). Together with Senators Lugar and Harkin, Senator Biden has proposed legislation which directs automakers to gradually increase flex-fuel vehicle (FFV) production, increasing ten percentage-point increments annually, until nearly all vehicles sold in the U.S. are flex fuel vehicles within 10 years. At this rate half of all vehicles sold in the US would be flex fuel vehicles in five years. Currently, flex-fuel vehicles - those able to use both regular gasoline and blends of up to 85 percent ethanol (E85) - make up only about ten percent of vehicles on the road today (7 million).
* Require Major Gas Stations To Sell Alternative Fuels: Only around 700 gas stations nationwide offer E85 to customers. Major oil companies (those that own 4,500 stations or more) should offer alternative refueling capability at 50 percent of stations they own by 2016. The Lugar-Harkin-Biden biofuel legislation would require large oil companies to install E85 pumps at their stations, increasing by five percent annually over the next 10 years.
* Increase The Amount of Farm-Grown Fuel In Our Fuel Supply: We should increase the amount of ethanol and biodiesel included in the nation's fuel supply by extending and increasing the current renewable fuel standard and setting standards for biodiesel. Currently the renewable fuel standards set a benchmark of 7.5 billion gallons by 2012. (U.S. gasoline consumption is 140 billion gallons per year). Senator Biden would increase the benchmarks to: 10 billion gallons by 2010; 30 billion gallons by 2020; 60 billion gallons by 2030.
Invest in New Technology
* Create Incentives For Research: Senator Biden supports more than $5 billion in new incentives for research into: alternative fuel and energy sources, renewable energy and carbon capture and sequestration technologies that will allow us to use coal cleanly.
Increase Use Of Renewable Energy
* Set a National Renewable Portfolio Standard. Senator Biden would set a national renewable portfolio standard of 20 percent to require that at least 20 percent of the country's electricity comes from clean, renewable sources like wind, solar, biomass and geothermal - just 2.3 percent of our power comes from these sources today.
Require the Federal Government To Be More Energy Efficient
* Set Renewable Energy Requirements. Senator Biden would require the federal government to purchase 10 percent renewable electricity by 2010 and 20 percent by the end of the next decade.
* Make Federal Buildings More Efficient. Senator Biden would increase federal building energy efficiency by requiring a 30 percent reduction in energy use over the next ten years.
* Save Money. Becoming more efficient will save taxpayers money - almost $4 billion dollars - and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by millions of tons.
Encourage Americans To Use Energy Efficiently
* Flip To Efficient Technologies. Senator Biden has introduced legislation creating the Flip-to-Save program to provide $50 million in funding to states to administer programs to educate consumers on efficient technology and distribute highly efficient compact florescent light bulbs which use a quarter of the energy of regular bulbs. If every family across the US replaces just one regular incandescent bulb with a CFL, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 7 million tons per year.
* Increase Use of Energy Efficient Appliances. Senator Biden would expand the "Energy Star Program" to include standards for more appliances and commercial systems.
* Support Green Building Codes. Senator Biden would support local updates to building codes to capture cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities in new residential/commercial construction
* Create Incentives To Go Green. Senator Biden supports increasing incentives for energy efficient commercial buildings and manufacturing sector
* Oil Company Record Profits: When a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing highlighted the unprecedented profits enjoyed by the oil industry - the highest by any business in history - at a time when consumers are saddled with high prices, Senator Biden confronted the executives of six major energy companies, and asked them if they needed any part of the billions in tax giveaways they got in the 2005 energy bill. When they acknowledged that they did not, he worked to repeal those special subsidies.
* Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP): Since his early days in the Senate, Senator Biden has championed funding for this vital program that has allowed low income families, disabled individuals and senior citizens living on fixed incomes to offset some of their high heating bills.
* Gasoline Price Gouging: Senator Biden cosponsored and pushed legislation to combat inflated gas prices by both integrated oil companies and retailers. This measure would crack down on abuses by giving federal and state regulators new authority to prosecute price gouging in the wake of national energy emergencies, as well as put in place measures to ban price manipulation and enhance the transparency of our nation=s fuel markets.
* Hybrid and Highly Efficient Diesel Cars: In an effort to spur advances in the design and manufacture of hybrid vehicles and highly efficient diesel vehicles, Senator Biden worked to help keep purchase costs competitive by giving tax breaks to consumers who bought them.
* Renewable Energy: Senator Biden has long been a strong advocate for the growth of renewable and alternative energy sources such as hydropower, wind energy, ethanol, biodiesel, solar and geothermal, and has supported the scientific research and policies needed to develop these sources, help stabilize energy prices, and to do so in an environmentally sensitive way.

replacing old lite switches
when i took the covers off the switches i noticed three wires instead of two. two red on the left side,one black on the the right lower left.any suggestions?
How old is your house? A switch interupts the hot [common*wrong]wire to shut off power. One of the wires may be a ground. Is one connected to a green nut?
There is also the possibility of a some one in the past jack legging off the switch to power another circuit. I have one in my house that I have to deal with.
You have a 3-way switch.
You need to determine the odd screw and make sure this wire stays on the common screw of the new switch. One screw will be an odd color, such as black.
A switch does NOT interupt the common wire to shut off power. In fact there is no such thing a a "common" other than the odd screw and corresponding wire of a 3-way switch. The other two wires are called travelers.
Determine which wires are the travelers and which is the "common". This way you can attach the new 3-way correctly.
The neutral wire (which I assume is the one you refer to as the common wire) is to remain unbroken (such as by switches) all the way back to the panel. Switch the hot side, switched neutrals are dangerous.
EDIT: :o oh three way....I knew that:o :o Anyway, for a single pole switch, break the hot side. My bad:o .
Definitly my bad hot wire is interupted in a switch. I did take electronic's I in high school. :o

Hot Water Heater Drain Valve
I have a well with a submersible pump. When I shut the supply line off from the pump, aand open the drain valve on the water heater, water does not flow out. I wanted to change or remove the Anod Rod, but want to make sure there is no pressure inside the tank. I was confused when no water came from the drain valve, unless I turn the well valve back on.
Open an outside spigot. The water should come out. When you turn the pump on you are forcing the water out
Turn off the water heater heating (turn the small knob from Run to Pilot on gas models).
After turning off the main water supply, open all hot water faucets upstairs and then drain at least three gallons from the water heater drain valve to get all the water in the pipes above you out. Otherwise it will get all over you when you unscrew the anode rod.
Have water running from an upstairs hot faucet before turning the water heater back on, to be sure the tank is full first.
If you have no faucets open....it's sort of like holding a drinking straw full of water with your thumb over the top...you need to let air in to push the water out.
opening an outside spigot as someone mentioned earlier should do the trick. We had a similar problem and it turned out to be a pressure issue and it seems like this is too. Great analogy with the "finger over the straw"- thats exactly what I think is going on here.

The Highest Place by tropictuco, LC Wildcard, OrynesOctober 8th, 2009 12:06 PM / Location: -17.51097,-149.8423
Legend has it that the god Hiro tried to steal this mountain and take it back to the nearby island of Raiatea, but the warrior Pai saw this and hurled a spear from the neighboring island of Tahiti - piercing a large hole at the top of another mountain (Mouaputa), waking the roosters of the island and leading to a heist-stopping ruckus. Hiro only made off with the top bit of the mountain, and to this day there exists a hill on Raiatea with characteristically Moorean flora. Rotui is the second highest mountain on Moorea, and although oftentimes sketchy, was still safe enough for us to tackle with a touch of care. The higher mountain (Tohieva) is better suited for the likes of Spiderman than college students.
Getting up from sea level to the highest point at 2980ft took us a good 5-6 hours, hikes take a little longer when you're taking the time to not die. This rather perilous stroll takes a "path" along the thin ridge of the mountain, with a narrow bit of solid earth to walk on with vegetated cliff on either side. Sometimes you don't even get the solid ground, just an earthy jello of roots and dirt.
We and a few friends were lead up the mountain by our intrepid guide - David Hembry, Entomologist (DHE for short). The day starts with DHE briefing us about how he knows of only one death on the mountain, group morale is his forte.
Our first challenge? Biting dogs along a bit of private property we need to cut through to reach the base, don't worry, DHE says he knows how to stave them off. Rocks. Or in the words of the consummate badass himself: "There are some small biting dogs here. I'd be willing to throw rocks at them." The hounds let us slip by with just a little investigation and a tail wag though, we got lucky.
From there, it was just up and up. There was the occasional mishap but nothing serious, a leg going off the side where the edge of the trail was obscured by ferns or soft ground giving out, fortunately this type of tomfoolery was conducted along the less sheer areas.
Along the way we came upon a rest spot with a tattered improvised flag, a nice view, and mean ants.
Toward the end, the small peaks were steep enough that ropes were installed to help out.
ⓜoustache ⓔnvy (teal hat) does some small time rappelling.
Eventually, we made it! Here's the victory GPS reading:

such beautiful scenery @_@ What an awesome hike!
i'm just super glad it didn't rain on us! that would have been super sketch.
DH,E also told the tale of the one time he got stuck up on Rotui in a crazy rainstorm and was pretty much covered in mud by the time it was safe enough to descend.
we were all slipping pretty hard without it raining - i think it's safe to assume one of us would have taken a nasty spill had it been raining!
in any event, i'm so very proud of all of us for surviving.
damn kids, those crazy stories of people almost falling off!!! but i still wanna do it!
Very nice job. Love those Polynesian deities, always stealing mountains (There are 4 or 5 similar Maori stories).
land is quite the commodity in the middle of the ocean~~~~
What a hike! What a place! Thanks for the vicarious enjoyment--

Happy National Tequila Day! That's today, July 24, so grab a lime and some salt! It's time to mix up a batch of Margaritas.
Celebrate National Tequila Day with this refreshing Blood Orange Margarita created by IMUSA. Made with freshly squeezed citrus and just the right amount of tequila, this cocktail will become a go-to beverage with the 3-H days of summer.
IMUSA's Blood Orange Margarita
Sea salt
2 ounces silver tequila
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 1/2 ounce fresh blood orange juice (you may substitute regular navel oranges if you can't find blood oranges)
1 to 2 teaspoon agave nectar
1 orange round, for garnish
Using the IMUSA citrus juicer squeeze the lime and blood orange juices and set aside. Pour some salt onto a small plate. Using the just squeezed lime half and run the wet edge along the rim of your glass. Dip the top of the glass into the salt. Carefully add ice cubes to your glass and set it aside.
Fill a small cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the tequila, freshly squeezed lime, blood orange juice, and agave nectar. Shake for 15 to 20 seconds. Strain into your glass and garnish with a slice of blood orange or lime.
IMUSA and celebrity chefs, Aaron Sanchez, George Duran and Michelle Bernstein, make Mexican, Caribbean, Asian and Mediterranean food a lot more fun with the new Global Kitchen line.
*Note: A bit of provenance about Tequila: It is made from the blue agave plant and has a deep and storied history. Named after the small town of Tequila in a valley west of Guadalajara in Jalisco, Mexico, the spirit was known as mezcal wine about the time the conquistadors came to the continent.
Many names we recognize on the labels today were the very first commercial producers of tequila. José Antonio Cuervo held the first license for manufacturing the favored beverage, courtesy of the King of Spain.
Agave grows in a variety of forms. Blue agave, grown in the highlands region of Mexico, is larger in size and sweeter in aroma and taste. Agave grown in the lowland regions have a more herbaceous fragrance and flavor. Like similar legislation for bourbon and cognac, Mexican law states tequila is only tequila if it is produced within Jalisco and limited regions in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacan, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. If the same ingredients are distilled anywhere else, it's not tequila.
While many have enjoyed tequila cocktails such as the margarita, tequila sunrise, and mojito, good tequila can be enjoyed neat or over the rocks. Tequila is experiencing a renaissance of sorts as savvy drinkers are savoring it as they would a good whiskey.

After so many years expressing frustration with the lack of activity in my local JDRF chapter, it was only fitting that within my first month here, I was already able to attend an exciting event with my new JDRF chapter – the Hope and Health Symposium.
I didn't take as many pictures or notes as I thought I would, but that was mostly because I was meeting all my new diabetes friends and spending as much time as I could hanging out with the "old" ones.
The phrase that stood out to me from the event came from Dayton Coles, from the JDRF International Board of Chancellors and also Emily's dad.
In pursuit of a cure, he explained that a focus of JDRF is Less Until None.
Less burden, less invasive, less complexity, less danger.
I'm ready for the tasks of taking care of my diabetes to be less of a burden. I am ready for the technologies used to monitor my diabetes to become less invasive. I'm ready for my devices to work together in a less complex manner (a low glucose suspend system or even a treat-to-range system). I'm ready for improved technologies and improved insulin and glucagon delivery systems to make a life living with diabetes a life of less danger.
What an aptly named event – the work towards a cure, advanced treatments, and prevention gives those living with diabetes a chance for Hope and Health.
P.S. Of course Mike and Kerri did an excellent job representing the diabetes online community and the power of our connections in their presentations. Kerri won the audience over with her discussion of pee alarms and Mike even included a shout-out to my favorite video.

wiring three switches for a bathroom exhaust fan, light and heater
I want to wire a exhaust fan with heat and a light. Looking for some direction on how to wire switches for each function exhaust fan, light and heat?
Power to switch Then four wires + ground to unit. One wire is neutral. Each of the other three wires is power to fan, heater, light.
At switch connect power neutral to unit neutral.
Connect power to three pigtails. Connect one pigtail to each switch. Connect hot wires fro unit to each separate switch.
You are most likely going to need #12 for the heater, and that would most likely have to be on a separate circuit than the lights. Post the spec's on the unit, which is manufacturer & model #, and pictures of your current switch layout.
1 Attachment(s)
Optional refinement.
Use a 3 way switch for the heater with power connected to the common terminal.
The fan switch is fed from one of the heater switch terminals instead of the power feed. The other heater switch terminal is for the heater.
This way you must have the heater off in order to turn the fan on, thus avoiding wasting heat out the exhaust.
In any event you may need a heavier duty switch (amperes rating) for the heater.

LKHC; Kings Mountain Rd.
Moving Time
Track your rides and runs via your iPhone, Android or GPS device, analyze your performance, and compare with friends.
NICE, Lisa!!!! Great job today! I can't wait to run results to see how team did, but quite well, I anticipate.
Thank you Dan! I am so, so glad I was able to find the start in time. I wasn't sure Kings was gonna happen for me today and I would have been completely crushed if I had not been able to compete.
You killed again. Maybe it was better than you rode with the boys. You broke my buddy's heart when you dropped him the last mile though. Ha Ha. As wet and cold as it was, I'm glad I volunteered.8-)
Thanks JD! I was seriously surprised about that! I dropped the other guy too. so weird, i never do that. My hands were nearly frozen when I reached the top, but the rest of me was fine with the frigid air. Thanks for volunteering! Low Keyers Rock.
Aha. I was very confused when the women's wave started coming in and you didn't seem to be there--based on recent results! This plus Dan's writeup explains it. Nice job.
I was freezing on Canada and rode faster than the women's group down to warm up. I asked a gal at the grocery store where Kings was and I ended up on Mtn Home Rd, Portola and Hwy 84! Doh; my bad!
It looks like you must have picked up someone else's power meter for a few seconds at the start, hence the strange power reading. I'm sure someone from Strava can strip that data out or I can if you let me know.
Hi Alan, I accidentally set my Garmin to pick up power data, so that makes sense! It's ok, it doesn't really bother me. Thank you though!

Tech Tuesday—Go Strap-free with CapturePRO's Camera Clip
July 23, 2013
Have standard camera neckstraps fallen out of vogue? Sure, most of us still use the out-of-the-box strap that comes with all but the smallest point-and-shoot cameras. And, of course, there are harnesses and cross body straps for carrying one or more cameras, but the CapturePRO Camera Clip offers a strapless alternative.
Now in version 2, the developer of this clever device, Peak Design, has received another successful Kickstarter round of funding. The new version of the camera, while maintaining the original concept, has been redesigned to be lighter, sturdier (and more secure) than its predecessor.
The CapturePRO Camera Clip, allows you to hook your DSLR, mirrorless camera or GoPro directly to a belt, your backpack or any strap up to 3-inches wide. The device slips over the strap and comes with your choice of quick release plates, so you can quickly and easily press the red release button and be ready to shoot. The CapturePRO can also be mounted to a tripod with the same quick release access when needed but we think it will appeal mostly to wedding, sports, landscape and other outdoor photographers.
I received an early sample and can attest that the clip is well built and so far (I've only used it a couple of times), works as promised. It's designed to hold up to 200 pounds so you're likely to overload the strap (or your muscles) before getting anywhere near the clip's maximum capacity. Various plates and accessories are available and you'll find the best deals—especially for accessory bundles—on the Kickstarter page, with prices starting at $65 for the basic kit (a savings of $15 off the MSRP price of $80. You have until August 23 at 9 p.m. EDT to get the best pricing, so be sure to head over to the Kickstarter page before then.

The senior class has stuck together to turn the Westwood High School girls' hockey team into a state title contender in Massachusetts.
Ice hockey was not always so easy for the group, however.
They endured the growing pains of starting a girls' program virtually from scratch, paving the way for what is now a thriving program in the Westwood Youth Hockey Association. A decade ago, girls were a very small part of the Westwood Youth Hockey Association, fitting in among the boys who dominated the program. Commitment from parents of girls, administrators of the program and the girls themselves all combined to start the process of changing that outlook.
Dave Witherell, the current Westwood Youth Hockey Association girls' director, pointed to former association president David Horsfall and former girls' director David Burke as two of the early leaders in the program's growth.
While there are parents and other leaders who deserve credit, Horsfall and Burke, who are both among that group, believe the perseverance of the early players is worthy of appreciation. Horsfall and Burke each have daughters who played through the program's early stages.
The first Westwood girls' team competed on the Under-12 level, although it included a group of 8-year-olds. The players went winless in their first season, but enthusiastically came back for more. More and more players continued to join them each season.
"It was not easy in the beginning," said Burke, whose daughter Siobhan eventually switched to playing goalie and is now one of the top goalies statistically in Massachusetts high school hockey. "But, they stuck with it. They gave opportunity to those who followed.
"A lot of them still volunteer. Every week, little girls come to learn to skate and they are instructed by girls' players who they can look to as role models."
Siobhan Burke has followed Horsfall's daughter Katie as captain at Westwood High, which went to the state semifinals the last two seasons and is off to a strong start this season as it enjoys the most successful stretch in school history.
Katie Horsfall, a defenseman, has moved on to Connecticut to play prep school hockey at Kent in her senior year. Her father said he still clearly remembers her first goal, "and it was not in the first season." There were not many to go around in the program's first year.
When Westwood's board of directors decided to try to build a girls' hockey program, it fully committed to giving the teams a chance to grow.
Prior to starting girls' travel teams, Westwood had just about 15 girls in its house leagues and only three girls playing on the 12-15 travel teams the association offered each year.
"Our daughters were in the cross-ice program," Burke said. "They liked hockey, but when you looked ahead at what travel had to offer, we had three girls playing. It was a good fit for those three girls, but my daughter looked at it as boys-dominated teams. She wanted to play with girls."
Other girls and parents felt the same way. The daughters wanted to learn the sport while not missing out on the social aspects of being on a girls' team.
An original group of 18 interested girls started the process that has grown into Westwood putting 5-6 girls' travel teams on the ice each season. Westwood has a U10 team, two U12s and two U14s this season in addition to a half-season U19 team that plays prior to the start of high school hockey.
"We had the support of the youth hockey program," Burke said. "In 2003, girls' hockey was right on the verge, but it was not where it is now."
When new programs are added, issues like demands on ice team have to be discussed.
"What ended up happening was real important," Horsfall said. "All the way through, we never treated the girls' program as girls. We treated it as another travel team. … They got the same support of the other travel programs."
That spirit continued even as Westwood began the process of catching up to other associations that had started girls' programs earlier.
"We knew there would be growing pains," Burke said. "There were not many wins, but we had to start somewhere.
"The kids and the parents recognized that."
Burke sees the dividends in the current strength of the Westwood Youth program and when he watches his daughter's high school team put together winning streaks.
"It's certainly fair to say some of these kids would not be playing hockey now if they had not been afforded a chance to play then," Burke said. "Siobhan became a goalie at 10. There's no doubt that would not have happened."
Burke also credits the Middlesex Yankee Conference Girls' Hockey League, which Westwood joined a few years after starting its girls' teams, with helping the growth. The conference has enough teams at each age group to split according to skill level and keep games competitive, another key to participation levels growing.
"We've had some teams that won the middle level and others that came in last on the top level, but the games have always stayed competitive and the participation levels have stayed high," he said.

They are also serious art collectors—works by Vuillard, Bonnard, and Denis decorate their red-brick colonial Georgetown home.
Then Morange arrives, flies into a temper, and goes down in his turn, exasperated at receiving no answer to his calls for Bonnard.
The craftsman was one of the most cunning goldsmiths of the city, Bonnard.
Bonnard's pictures grow not as trees; they float as water-lilies.
They are free and various; and Bonnard is one of the greatest painters alive.
The accountant again approached the hole, and shouted down it in a fury: "Bonnard!"
A picture by Bonnard, for all its fascinating overtones, has a life entirely of its own.
Of Bonnard he has written with a delicacy of understanding hardly to be matched in contemporary criticism.
A picture by Bonnard escapes from its subject, and from its author, too.
Like Bonnard he uses greys of dry and mat colour, but his harmonies are slighter and of lighter tonality than those of Bonnard.

Linux is a No-Go on My System :(

At this point, I think the motherboard is toast (well, maybe not toast, but certainly incompatible with Linux in its current state), and I'm trying to decide if a) Linux is worth this much hassle right now, and b)if I decide to get a new motherboard, do I get another copy of the one I have, or a different brand. There are pros and cons no matter which way I decide:
1) If I get another Asrock 939Dual, I don't have to reinstall Windows on my other drive, and it might allow me to install Linux, but as we all know - if you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.
2) If I get a different brand (considering a Gigabyte board), Linux compatibility might improve, but I'd have to reinstall Windows (and that's a freakin hassle).
I don't want to buy another Asrock just to find out that it's just plain not compatible, and I don't want to get a different brand because i'd have to reinstall windows. It looks like I'm stuck between ASRock and a hard place. (I love puns .)
What did you end up trying? Any successes yet?

I've pretty much decided that I don't want to reinstall Windows yet again, so I'm just going to go ahead and get another ASROCK 939Dual Sata2. If it doesn't work with the new board, I guess I'm gonna have to wait for a new version of Ubuntu to be released, and try again.
Ordered a new m/b (the same brand/model) a shiney new 4200 X2 ($199!!), and another GB of Patriot XBLK RAM from egghead this morning. Should get them next week, so we'll see if the new M/B fixes my install problems.
Silver lining: If nothing else, Linux will fail to install at a faster pace.
Same problem, or what challenge are you now facing?

Tomorrow, I'll try installing windows on the drive to see if that works. That will at least rule out the drive being bad. If Windows Installs, I'll try installing Linux in a dual boot setup on that drive. It'll be downright dirty shame to give up so much hard drive space (by having a windows partition) just to make it work...
The new motherboard came with bios v1.9 on it, and i'm almost positive that flashing it to 2.1 won't help/matter.
My question is how in the hell did Phoronix get Linux installed on this motherboard because it sure ain't workin' for me.

So IFA doesn't even officially open for two days, but already Sony has got its press conference out of the way and boy, did it have a lot to say...
As I mentioned in our IFA Preview, the big news Sony wanted to promote was its intention to bring 3D television viewing to its high end consumer sets in 2010. Little was given away about the set (Sony suggested it may only be one model), other than it will have a 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels image per eye) and will be part of 3D makeover Sony intends to introduce including 3D on its Blu-ray disc formats and 3D compatibility built into Vaio laptops and the PlayStation 3. Sony will market 3D under a 'make.believe' slogan - so expect to see it speared across billboards over the next 12 months. And yes, you cannot photograph 3D!
Continuing its Bravia news Sony will introduce 'Internet Video', an online portal for its TVs and Blu-ray players in early 2010. Support from mainstream channels is a little limited with just Five from the UK signing up, but that's understandable given potentially competing technologies from the likes of BBC iPlayer. That said, it should continue the trend in 'catch-up TV' with content based around on-demand viewing as the move away from the traditional TV model continues and both YouTube and Wired will be partnering Internet Video from the online space.
If you fancy a shiny new compact camera Sony has that covered too. A new line of compact Cybershot cameras was unveiled with brand spanking new 'Exmor R' sensors promising 256 degree panoramic photo stitching and the ability to shoot up to 10 shots per second. The two cameras to take advantage of it will be the 10 megapixel DSC-WX1 and DSC-TX1 which will bring 5x optical zooms and also shoot 720p HD video at 30fps.
Moving onto laptops and Sony has something rather special to show in the form of the X series, a stunning 11.1in ultra slim laptop measuring just 14mm thick and weighing 700g. Despite this Sony has packed in integrated mobile broadband, used a carbon fibre chassis and promises a comprehensive range of battery options providing "all day battery life and well into the night". The downside in all this could be the price. Crack under the hood and - at least at this stage - the X series is packing just an Atom CPU so we could be talking about yet another glorified netbook. With the rest of the spec here it could easily be a netbook to pass beyond the £700+ barrier. A case of so near and yet so far?
Finally, we also got a look at previously announced Sony products like the Sony Pocket and Touch edition eBook readers and OLED X series Walkman. Both looking exceptional from a brief hands-on, but requiring more time for a proper analysis.
IFA is indeed off to an impressive start. Later today we'll learn if everyone else can keep up...

Great stay
Huge cottage, well maintained. Kitchen had everything. Linda was very helpful. Location is remote, but this was fine for us. Good food at the restaurant. I would definitely stay here again.
High quality and spacious
We stayed for 10 days. The house was well maintained, clean and spacious. It's in a nice rural location not far from cork.
Only negatives were that wifi was poor - we paid extra to improve this but speed was very slow even after upgrading. We would have preferred to have basic cleaning chemicals left to enable us to keep the place more clean, it's important for longer stays.
Superb family accomodation
What a beautiful place to stay with my family. We were all extremely impressed by how immaculate the house was. We have always stayed in hotels before but with 3 teenagers it isn't always ideal , this house is the perfect solution with 4 good sized bedrooms so everyone could have their own space at a fraction of the price it was going to cost us to stay in a hotel.
Everything that you could possibly need is provided in the house. Cork city centre only a short distance away with the nearest town Ballincollig only a 5 minute drive.
Very, very impressed with this house and will definitely be staying again, highly recommended.
Excellent accomodation and people
My family (my wife, our 4 boys, a baby sitte and myself) spent two fabulous weeks in this house during the first two weeks of August 2011.
David, Linda and the rest of the Lee Valley Golf Resort's staff made our stay more comfortable than we expected.
The only disadventage are the weather (with no posible solution) and that the house is 15 mins far from Cork (where our children participated in Summer Camps and my wife and myself did English courses).
We recommend this big house, specially if you play golf.

"My Momcat, R.I.P."
"Delyte & me & Momcat & Brothercat outside"
"My favorite person!!!!"
It's Stella. On Oct. 4, my Momcat, who was a feral cat living outside here, showed up with two big kittens, apparently born around Aug. 15. After Nov. 1, we never saw Momcat again. We think she might have been pregnant and went off and died during the delivery. We are all so broken up about losing her. She had ten kittens in two years and was a great mother to all of us.
The two kittens who were weaned stayed around outside. We made a cat shelter for them in a rubber tub and a way they could get under the trailer. But on Wed., 11/21, the weather was getting so terrible that my person had to bring them inside. They love it in here--being warm and lots of food, what's not to love?! For the time being they are being kept in the bedroom, which they are wrecking, and sleeping in a big dog cage at night and when my person has to go to work. She took them to the vet on Friday and they are cleared of most diseases and have had their shots. BigBoy weighed 4.7 pounds and is 14 weeks old! Hence his name. BigGirl is more like our mom, and weighs 3.7 pounds, which is not exactly tiny for that age. Both are tabby and white and very thickly furred. They are definitely plushy cats like me.
Delyte and I hated this at first, but I have been playing with them [and stealing their food ] Delyte hates them.
My person doesn't feel that she can keep them. There is not enough of her to pay attention to 4 cats, and we are only allowed two where we live. Plus our male person is allergic to cats and 4 cats is just too much fur. We want to find a good home for them, preferably together, where they can be warm fat house cats like me. My person will deliver them any reasonable distance from here. They don't mind being in the car at all.
If we can't find homes for them soon, we may have to take them to Treehouse in Chicago, 350 miles away. None of the no-kill shelters around here are accepting kittens, and the local humane society is currently euthanizing all new arrivals. Too many of my family has died--my Momcat and five of my brothers and sisters--and we don't want that to happen to these guys. They are the last of Momcat's breed. They have the same dad as me, so they are my full siblings.
Purrs to you all! So this has been quite an impressive Thanksgiving!
I've been tagged by both Neferkitty and Little Bit! So let me combine it into one list and one set of tags:
1. I recently had two more siblings be born. My Momcat showed up with two kittens whose fathers are obviously the same as me. Don't know whether they are boys or girls yet--they are too active and scary to see!
2. I recently got over having a heart murmur. It showed up all of a sudden in February and now it's gone. I never had any symptoms from it.
3. I am getting a little bored of the game of retrieving the plastic tags. My new one is putting them under the refrigerator or the dishwasher and then begging my person to get them out again. She gets them out from under the dishwasher but boy is she going to be surprised when she gets a new fridge!
4. I know how to open the outside door unless it is perfectly latched, and I try all the time, so we are not allowed to look out the door for long without close supervision. Delyte thinks I am a pain because he loves to look out the door.
5. I really enjoy sleeping on the bed, even if I have to share it with Delyte. But we don't touch, so that's all right.
6. I don't like canned cat food very much. My favorite is dry cat food, the cheaper the better. Which probably accounts for my roundish figure…
7. I love playing games on the Forum, but my typist doesn't want me to stay up that late and she is tired since she has to work all the time. But she misses helping me with the games!
So now I tag:
Cole, my plushy buddy
Catsy, the tough old guy
Wednesday, the beautiful black one
Puglsey, another beautiful black one, her brother
Mouse, with his interesting ears,
Aldo, the wise and caring one
Willow Moth!
Purrs to all!
It's Stella. I had a big adventure yesterday, and took Delyte along with me. I figured out how to open the screen door. I won't tell how! My person went to close the inside door because she was hot and wanted to turn up the AC, and the screen door was open! And both cats were outside! Delyte, the big wimp, was just dithering away on the deck right by the door, and as soon as she opened the door he obediently ran in. I was running around in the yard, however, and I would not allow myself to be caught, running around in circles and making my poor crippled person chase me around. Finally I let her catch me and take me inside. That was fun! But now she won't even let us look out through the screen door at all, even after she checks to see that the door is latched. So no more meowing at my Momcat and Brothercat through the screen. I hope she will forget soon, though.
[Stella's person here: She forgets that it is too hot to have the door open anymore anyway, but I hope I can figure out how she did it before cooler weather gets here. She's awfully smart and Delyte can add a lot of weight as leverage, so if they work as a team, we may have to wire the door shut!]

I made some buns last night for DH to take to work for his birthday today. Yet again I've had problems with the cake cases coming away from the cake :( they look as though the children have been trying to pinch the buns! They were fine last night when they went into the boxes (they were cooled and iced before this). There were two different sets of cakes, one chocolate, one coffee, both slightly different recipes.DAK why the cases lift off? what can I do to stop them doing this?thanks in advance
DAK why the cases lift off? what can I do to stop them doing this?Stuffed if I know, I have never seen this happen, indeed when using the standard paper cake cases I always end up scraping the sods with a blunt knife to extract the last crumbs!Given that they were still OK after cooling, and you had used different types of cake, I wonder if the common factor is the cases themselves. Is it possible that they are made from some non-stick silicone stuff like baking parchment rather than the more usual and cheaper greaseproof?
they're supercook (possibly now dr oetker?) cases, standard size (not muffin) normal papery onescakes all taste fine, just don't look as nice as they could, which doesn't seem to be a problem for us at home, but bit disappointing to send to work!
