pretty pastel colours for celebrating easter...*S*...

lillianb's recommendation
One thing I don't understand is how people can keep candles for so long, my candle barely have a shelf life of half a year (and that's if I'm being careful)! Granted I might burn candles more than the average person, but I'm beginning to think that's a good thing as it allows me to buy pretty new candles all the time. Candles, like these adorable Easter egg candles. In various Easter colors and egg shapes, they make a nice decoration on the Easter Buffet!
Snowflake's recommendation
Brighten up your home with these egg shaped candles. Bring them out for Easter and you can leave them out all Spring to add a little color to any room.

These limits are given in terms of a unit referred to as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The FCC requires cell phone manufacturers to ensure that their phones comply with these objective limits for safe exposure. Any cell phone at or below these SAR levels (that is, any phone legally sold in the U.S.) is a "safe" phone, as measured by these standards. The FCC limit for public exposure from cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).

Lily Allen has refuted criticism that her controversial new video for Hard Out There is racist.
In the video for her latest single, the singer appears with troupe of scantily clad black female dancers.
Responding to accusations of racism online, she posted an extended Twitter message called Privilege, superiority and misconceptions.
"If anyone thinks for a second that I requested specific ethnicities for the video, they're wrong," she wrote.
"If anyone thinks that after asking the girls to audition, I was going to send any of them away because of the colour of their skin, they're wrong.
"Whilst I don't want to offend anyone, I do strive to provoke thought and conversation. The video is meant to be a lighthearted satirical video that deals with objectification of women within modern pop culture. It has nothing to do with race, at all."
The singer, who has two young daughters, also revealed she had spent two weeks trying to learn how to 'twerk', but "failed miserably".
She blamed her decision to dress more modestly than the other women in the video on her "chronic cellulite".
"I would not only be surprised but deeply saddened if I thought anyone came away from that video feeling taken advantage of,or compromised in any way," she added.
The racy video shows her lying on an operating table getting liposuction and eating a banana suggestively in a spoof of the way women are treated in music videos.

Detailed Description:
The objective of this study is to investigate the interaction between marijuana and quetiapine, with the goal of using this information to improve marijuana treatment outcome. It is hypothesized that quetiapine will decrease marijuana withdrawal and relapse. Primary outcome measures will be
- marijuana's direct effects
- marijuana withdrawal syndromes
- marijuana relapse. It is also hypothesized that marijuana withdrawal will be associated with increased levels of stress hormones. A secondary measure will be salivary cortisol.

quetiapine's effects on marijuana withdrawal and relapse
Drug: Marijuana
Other Name: cannabisDrug: Quetiapine
0, 200 mg/day
Other Name: seroquel
Detailed Description:
Quetiapine improves sleep and reduces anxiety and irritability, which are symptoms of marijuana withdrawal. Further, there are case reports showing that marijuana-dependent schizophrenics maintained on quetiapine had a 97.3% reduction in marijuana use. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine if quetiapine decreases marijuana's direct effects, symptoms of marijuana withdrawal and marijuana relapse in the laboratory. The study will utilize and inpatient/outpatient, counter-balanced design, with each participant maintained on placebo and quetiapine (200 mg/day) for 18 days. Participants will begin taking capsules as outpatients so that the dose can be incremented prior to the inpatient phase. While inpatient, participants will have the opportunity to self-administer placebo or active marijuana 6 times per day. Our laboratory model, which has distinguished the effects of a range of medications on marijuana withdrawal and relapse, will provide important information on the effect of quetiapine as a potential short-term pharmacotherapy to facilitate abstinence in the initial stages of marijuana treatment.

Do I dare trade my c6 z06 in for an m3 coupe?

I also have owned many cars. Jus' for fun I went to my local Corvette dealer two nights ago....I went with an open mind, and with the hope, at the very least, that this would be fun.
(BTW I am not a Corvette hater - I owned two briefly in the past). In short the driving experience, however brief, was indeed fun - no denying that the Corvette is fast. I started to get swept away by my "something new - somethng fast" enthusiasm until I stepped back and reflected. At 6'3" and 210 lbs - I had to shoehorn myself into the car. I could not take a long drive in a Corvette without suffering significant fatigue.
The interior had an upgraded leather interior, but
the design left me cold. Moreover, the quality - especially the hardware - was a definite turnoff. . My overal impression of the car was that it was indeed fun, but it was a lot of money for something not particularily well made. The Corvette did not satisfy my personal needs or desires.
When I purchased my M3, I thought I would use it only as a weekend and pleasure car. However, I soon found the car was addicative and it has become my daily driver - every morning I push the start button and hear the rasp of the exhaust - is a good morning! The M3 is a great GT - fast, and wonderfully responsive - it offers the driver a very "connective" experience. Moreover, I find the car to be more comfy than even a 650i - it is one of the very few sports cars I know that I have to advance the driver's seat forward - I have room to spare. Moreover, I can bring my German shepherd with me on spirited drives in the mountains, and at other times, there is room for family and friends. I would characterize both the exterior and interior styling as purposeful - conveying a quiet athletic intensity.
The M3 aesthetically and dynamically just works for me. The M3 is the decathelon champ.
You are obviously very passionate about your Corvette - and sports cars are less about what is practical, than what floats your boat. I say, go drive an M3 - then decide. I think in the end you will probably stay with your 'vette, just as I am happier with my M3 - it's all about passion....

Episode: Season 4
Richard Blais - Runner Up
Pabst Blue Ribbon brewed in GA since 1971, let's get this classic beer in here!! ASK FOR PBR!!
Try the Waffle Frys with Zmaple Oy because if you don't you'll be sad and there will be a whole in your heart.
Ask for the Maple Oy fries sauce on the side, it's too sweet
Try their unique take on shrimp & grits... on a stick http://www.savoryexposure.com/2011/09/hd1-by-richard-blais/
One order of waffle fries is probably good for two people, unless you're a pig.
Eastbound and down
The Whole Pig Poutine is a meal in and of itself - a must try
Prawn dogs, pastrami dogs, and pork-fennel sausage are all unusual and delicious. The only thing we'd recommend against are the deviled eggs.
The beef pastrami dog is my fave! http://www.savoryexposure.com/2011/09/hd1-by-richard-blais/

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/1/2014 (1271 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Nothing spells a good night better than these two popular bands put in one room on one night.
The Double Decker Tavern was bumping on Friday, Dec. 27 with faithful Young Pixels and Hey Pilgrim followers out to drink and dance the night away.
The Young Pixels are a husband/wife duo with a sound that is raw and elegantly simplistic.
Tricia and Danny Turner move effortlessly between electric guitar, drums and vocals, trading places often and amazing the audience with the beautiful music they can create with minimal instrumentation.
Hey Pilgrim is a group of four like-minded guys with a love for music. These dudes create dirty steadfast melodies that get into your guts and help you remember why you started listening to music in the first place.

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I set up all the parts and soldered everything as mentioned above. However, when I upload the first basic code to display the "Hello, world", absolutely nothing happens. The kit is connected to the arduino (red wire in 5V, black wire in GND and yellow wire in digital 3). I see that there is light in the actual LCD, however, there is no message. Could it be that the library/code have changed since this tutorial was written? I really hope someone can guide me to solve this issue. Thanks!
No public wish lists :(

There's nothing like a little technostock meltdown to focus your attention. Suddenly, just how much bang you can get for your promotional buck matters. The answer used to be simple. Dollar for dollar, nothing could come close to publicity. Writing and distributing a press release, after all, is a negligible expense compared to the gazillions of potential customers you can reach down the editorial pipeline.
While publicity with its cachet of credibility and enormous reach still qualifies as a marketing best buy, a new, cold reality is abroad. The refreshing emphasis on accountability is raising new interest in that least-expensive, most-critical publicity component: distribution.
After all the heavy agency and creative fees, after copywriting and corrections and executive approvals, once your press release hits the wire, does anyone really read it? Depends in no small part on your distribution, the least-expensive link in the chain.
A couple of weeks ago, we announced the death of the press release and its rebirth as the pre-eminent, self-published, document of corporate record. No sooner did we bury the press release than mourners started showing up at our door. Some with bouquets, some with tears, some with sighs of relief.
As vice president of public relations at Enginehouse Media, Kathleen Williams writes: "Your column on the death of the press release made me feel like a new woman free from the chains that bind me to the traditional press release…"
Some readers, while conceding the demise of the press release, felt compelled to offer a half-hearted defense of the form. "Your feature about the death of the press release makes for useful reading," wrote Philip Ellison, the PR arm of Ad Pepper Media International, "but I must express some frustration. You see, when attempting to spread out news to writers six to nine time zones away, the emailed press release is about as good as it gets. Forget for a moment the cost of calling and the odd hours one would have to keep… even when we do follow-up calls, most of the time we end up talking to a voicemail system… "
Most readers, like Cara Moroze of Technology Builders Inc., simply glance over at the dearly departed press release lying in the newsroom morgue and embrace the phoenix rising from its ashes.
"I agree… The best stories emerge from more comprehensive media pitches. Mass blasts to press are antiquated… Targeted, personalized pitches help steer a particular message… Instead of a press release, think of it as a corporate release. The press can do with it what they want…"
Not one single reader suggested reports of the death of the traditional press release were premature. Everyone knows the old line mass-mailed press release died of maldistribution.
So what's the new model?
Enter Internet Wire, a fairly new kid on the press distribution block. Its focus is to place corporate information on the desktop computers of journalists who have asked to see it. Gone is the 400-word cut-off based on satellite feed rates. Ramble on as much as you dare. Gone is the transmission leading to a centralized wire station.
Buying one of Internet Wire's industry blocks for a couple hundred dollars gets your press release delivered via email to the computers of opt-in journalists. In addition, you get some portion of its 1.2 million opt-in consumers to read your release. Plus, of course, on your own, you publish your news on your web site. The resulting cost per reader is measured in minidecimals.
Bruce Manning, vice president of AccessMillennium3, believes in Internet Wire. "They made a presentation at the agency, and we tried it with good results. Hard to qualify since we also use BusinessWire, but for Quad Research we did get a couple of stories from our release. And maybe a dozen online clips in media like MSNBC and CNN Financial… We're happy, and, what's better, the client is happy." To date, 300 PR agencies and 2,500 international clients use the service.
For the record, PRNewswire and BusinessWire the primary "old line" satellite distribution systems also have direct opt-in email options and highly tailored distribution systems.
According to Renu Aldrich, PR chief at PRNewswire, costs range from less than $100 for small industry groups or local "hubs" on up to $600 or more for full national feeds with tracking options that show which journalists downloaded your story.
A good idea, whichever distribution service you use, is to sit down with your customer rep, go over your objectives, and get specific recommendations. You get only one chance to move your news story.
You don't have to pitch stories to editors long before developing new respect for those tools that give journalists a chance to discover your story and come to you for research and contact support. One way or another, the best tools tend to be email-based solutions, pushed directly to the press who request material to be released to them. A good name for that might just be… a press release.

The end of the "crazy" requirement that law firms have to go through multiple notification processes to nominate the same people as compliance officers for affiliated entities is in sight as one of the first changes flowing from the Solicitors Regulation Authority's (SRA) 'red tape challenge'.
The challenge, set last week by SRA chairman Charles Plant, followed an initial trial with the City of London Law Society, and nine of its 10 recommendations are being put into practice. The list, provided to Legal Futures, largely dealt with minor but irritating administrative issues, and expressly excluded suggestions for amendments to the code of conduct, anything to do with international practice, and points concerning the SRA's responsiveness.
One of the suggestions accepted was: "Where there is a main UK regulated body (a principal LLP), make it possible for the COLP and the COFA for that organisation automatically to be able to serve as COLP and COFA for any related entities. It is crazy to have to go through multiple notification processes for the same individual in the context of affiliated entities. The main nomination for the COLP should include a section naming other regulated entities for which the COLP accepts similar responsibility."
Others included permitting authorised signatories and organisational contacts (ORCs) to manage (on behalf of their firms and their firms' managers) joiners, leavers, admissions and movements across entities, and foreign lawyer and European lawyer registrations; and giving ORCs the ability to correct errors made by the SRA – such as typos or recording status of a manager incorrectly – where the information has been correctly provided by the firm, without requiring, in the case of a name, production of the lawyer's passport.
Then there was introducing a procedure whereby registered foreign lawyers or other new managers' start-dates can be corrected subsequently if the date given in advance is not met in fact; and removing the need for approval (or greatly shorten the timeframe for approvals) for trainee secondments to clients or to firms' overseas offices which are not themselves regulated by SRA, such as seconding people to a firm's US offices.
The CLLS also called for the mailing lists for consultations and the list of compliance officers to be used used to notify firms every time there is a change to the code of conduct (and associated guidance) and to forms, "rather than forcing firms to have to comb the website and open every form kept there every so often on the off chance there has been a change".
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the one proposal rejected by the SRA was to remove the need to record and report trivial breaches of the SRA Handbook, including of the accounts rules, for instance where it is a bank error which has been corrected.
Chris Perrin, chairman of the professional rules and regulation committee of the CLLS and general counsel at Clifford Chance, said: "In September, the CLLS organised a meeting for senior members of the SRA and representatives of CLLS firms who are involved in regulatory issues. It was a very informative event. Charles Plant surprised us with his invitation to come up with 10 examples of red tape which made life difficult for law firms, and offered to see if they could be removed.
"We quickly assembled a shortlist from suggestions sent in by CLLS firms. Equally quickly, the SRA confirmed that they would accommodate our request on nine out of the 10. It was an excellent demonstration not only of what the CLLS can achieve for its members, but also of the SRA's willingness to be helpful. I hope they will be just as receptive when we submit numbers 10 to 20!"

Is it time solicitors started taking ethics training more seriously?
The requirement for solicitors to behave ethically in modern legal practice is more relevant than ever. Solicitors are still held in fairly high regard by the public, although that esteem is on the wane according to last year's Trusted Professions poll by Ipsos Mori. Lawyers are less trusted than teachers and doctors but at least we prevail over accountants and bankers. We still hold a position of trust but we must work to hold that position. The current Solicitors Regulation Authority proposals to revise the Handbook are evidence that work still needs to be done.

5 Tips to Enjoying a Healthy Run with your Dog
Running is one of the best ways to exercise not only for you but also for your pet dog. Your ultimate exercise buddy – that is who your dog is. Their eagerness to spend every moment of their lives with you is one big factor why you need to train them how to jog or run with you, not away from you. However, in order to reap the full benefits of running with your dog, it is best to heed the following tips.
Train your Dog Off-leash
One of the very first things you need to ascertain is that your dog is properly trained off-leash. You simply do not want your running exercise more an activity of catch-me-if-you-can. Additionally, it is important that you train your dog on basic obedience commands particularly the heel command. This is important so that your dog will be staying in just the left side of your body. This will prevent him from zigzagging and tripping you in the process. Furthermore, having him stay on the safe side of the road greatly improves his own wellbeing.
Train without a leash
For your dog to learn to respond when off leash, start by training without the aid of a leash whenever possible. This may seem obvious. But many of us spend weeks in dog classes working on sit, stay, down, and come with our dogs on a six-foot leash. When we head to the beach or woods and snap off the leash, our dogs act as if they've never been to training class. Unfortunately, on-leash training – while valuable for on-leash behaviors – can't prepare either of you for the challenges of the off-leash experience.
read more at-http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/5_3/features/5440-1.html
This is partly due to the fact that people often and inadvertently use physical cues such as a slight pressure on the leash to help the dog know what they want. When the dog and handler lose that added signal, their communication falls apart
Ascertain your Dog's Health and Readiness to Run Distances
Before hitting the road, you need to check that your dog is suitable to run considerable distances. Additionally, you need to ask your veterinarian if it is safe for him to run on extended periods of time. There are certain dog breeds that are more prone to musculoskeletal problems which can make running particularly risky for them. As a rule of thumb, though, larger breeds of dogs, especially in the working class, are excellent companions for running.
Check the Weather before Hitting the Road
Make sure that the weather is right before you hit the road and start running. During the summer months, it is best to run early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Dogs tend to overheat with strenuous physical exercises. Add to this the inherently hot weather and it can be disastrous for your furry friend.
Start Slow and Light
On your first run, never attempt to go 5 miles on a sprint. It is best to take it in small sequential steps. Try jogging first at a light pace for about 3 miles. Make sure to keep track of your dog's behavior and stop for a rest every now and then. You need to do this incrementally until such time that your dog has already adapted and can significantly manage longer distances at a much faster pace.
Keep your Dog Hydrated
Unlike you, dogs do not sweat in order to release body heat and cool their bodies down. The only way they can do this is by panting. You can help them by giving fresh clean and cool drinking water every few miles. You will be thankful you have a bottle of water with you every time you go out on a run with your dog.
Running with your dog is one way to foster that owner-dog relationship. It is also one way to show to your furry friend that you trust him in his abilities. Exercising together thus, has more than just a fair share of its physical health benefits. More importantly, the mental and emotional bond between you and your dog can only become deeper.After a long run, your dog is sure to accumulate some outdoor smells and odors and as many times as you wash them with normal pet shampoo it will not work to remove wet dog smell. Make sure you buy a product that is extra strength on odors yet gentle enough to use directly on your dog.

Konecto vinyl plank floor
We had a friend install Konecto vinyl plank flooring over our existing sheet vinyl and very pleased with job and appearance. A month later during a quick warm spell in April the floor buckled and after investigating a section of the old sheet vinyl has come up from the sub-floor. Lesson learned we should have removed the old vinyl but are there any tips on how to cause the old vinyl to lay back in an effort to avoid removing the new vinyl. The bubble is roughly a 2' x 2' area and it is an old farmhouse where floors are not very level. Furthermore in another 5 to 10 years we will likely remove all and install real wood floors. So I am just trying to get the floor to lay down and avoid the expense of ripping up brand new vinyl plank floors. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
perhaps setting a 3x3' piece of sheet plywood, osb, etc. and putting a heavy weight on it for a few days might help?
just a thought...
that's the only thing I can think of too.
go grab Gramdma's old steamer trunk out of the attic?
at least you won't have to look at a toolbox on the floor on a piece of plywood.... lol
leave it there a few weeks and see if it helps?
tell the kids whatever they do, don't stand on that piece of plywood over there?

Fire destroys apartments, residents spend freezing night at shelter
BATON ROUGE - Dozens of people will be staying at a shelter Wednesday night and into Thursday after a massive fire ate most of their building.
It took firefighters hours to battle the blaze.
The fire broke out at about 1:30 p.m. at the Turner Plaza Apartments in the 4500 block of North Street. An entire building at the complex with 24 units was destroyed and is considered a total loss.
"The fire shot straight up to the roof," said one resident. "Once it hit the roof, it just spread. It took like 10-15 minutes, then the whole building was on fire."
Turner Plaza is a Council on Aging site, and a number of elderly and residents with disabilities live there.
The Red Cross opened a shelter at a nearby BREC gymnasium to provide overnight shelter and food for those unable to return home because of fire damage and power loss. The Housing Authority is working to restore power to the whole complex and are working to find the displaced residents a permanent home.
The cause of the fire is still under investigations, but officials say it started on the second floor and was sparked from a heater.
The complex caught on fire seven years ago, too.

On July 7, 2011, the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Apple that reveals various concepts behind newly advanced 3D gesturing that will apply to CAD applications for product and gaming developers as well as for consumers. According to Apple, next generation iPad and/or other iOS device displays will allow consumers to create avatars for 3D environments or assist homeowners in designing new landscapes and more by using simple 3D gesturing. The new 3D gesturing will control color and textures while allowing users to uniquely rotate objects to gain different perspectives of their designs. This is wild stuff that is bound to give Apple's competitors another huge headache.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. - Senior Kaitlen Parsons looks forward to playing her last season for the Lumberjacks. From a Big Sky Championship to a top-five individual finish, NAU women's golfer Kaitlen Parsons has seen it all. The Washington native has taken a step back to reflect on her past four years in Flagstaff and share her goals for the future.
Coming from a small golf scene, Parsons spent her last year of high school attending community college so she could spend her days preparing on the course. She wanted to make the transition into the rigors of college golf easier. Parsons decided to stay on the west coast and attend NAU because she wanted the privilege of playing golf year-round.
Her choice to attend NAU transformed her game drastically and taught her the values of a hard working Lumberjack.
"I learned the value of a bogey and thought of the end result for our team before making a decision," said Parsons.
Parsons says that along with finding independence in her game, she also found it in her daily life.
"I learned to live on my own and be independent in adapting to college life," Parsons said. "I began to grow as a person and that also came out in my game."
Parsons says that she in turn has learned the value of playing for a team and the success that can be accomplished when a team comes together. Her most memorable team moment was the Lumberjack victory at Ocotillo for the Big Sky Conference Championship. There, Parsons' lessons of working on her individual game and team unity came together when she also took the second place individual title at conference.
"The team had worked so hard and wanted the win so bad," said Parsons. "It was amazing to celebrate our accomplishment and hard work throughout the year together."
Knowing that she will graduate in three months, this confidence has been a big part of her life. Her season goals include defending the conference title and claiming another memorable tournament finish. Her biggest individual goals however, include leading by example.
She reflects on her time as a freshman and how the seniors taught her how fast her remaining months will pass. She hopes to stop this trend of rushing through a senior season without taking the time to focus on the team. She wants to be able to use her last months to teach younger players how to be a role model. She wants the girls to find strength in their game and themselves.
"I want to be that role model for the younger girls and help them figure out how to mature their game and become a better person," said Parsons.
Parsons hopes to keep these values of confidence and teamwork within the Lumberjack golf family. Along with building her legacy, Parsons will focus on graduating in May with a degree in finance and marketing. She plans to go back to Washington and continue her job as a caddie at the Coeur d' Alene Resort Golf course.
Parsons's presence has greatly contributed to the golf team's success and her talents will be truly missed when she leaves the green at Ocotillo as a Lumberjack for the last time.

I often hear other researchers talking about how tough it is to get relatives interested in genealogy. Many of us are the lone
nutjobs who like dead people family historians in our clan, and it can be hard to rope the relatives into listening to us talk about our finds. One of the ways I've gotten the (brief) attention of my husband's teenage nieces and nephew is by incorporating their family history into our home decor. That way I can secretly work on getting them hooked every time they visit. We're a little sneaky here at Clue Wagon Worldwide Headquarters.
This wasn't my original purpose when I started this project. When we moved into our current home, we had just had our first baby, and I was about to change jobs. We had a lot of space to fill in our new house, and we didn't have a lot of cash to do it. I was looking for cheap ways to fill the walls, and I didn't want generic stuff that had nothing to do with us.
I started out using maps and posters in my office (you can see how that turned out here), thinking that they'd come in handy in my research. Then I realized I liked them too much to stop, so I ended up using them throughout the first floor of my house.
These maps of Sheboygan and Calumet Counties in Wisconsin cost me $10 each on eBay. They weren't standard sizes, so I bought cheap frame components on the internet and framed them myself. Some of my ancestors settled in Calumet County, and I've used the map quite a bit when I work on that line. My husband's family has lived in Sheboygan County for generations, and most of my in-laws still live there.
This old map of Glenbeulah, Wisconsin (my husband's hometown) is also in the dining room. I caught our 15-year-old nephew looking at it when he visited a couple of weeks ago. I believe people who fish call that a nibble. I paid $14.74 for this on eBay.
This bird's eye view of St. Paul is a reproduction. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but I'm certain it was under $20. I love that it's dated January 1888, because my great-grandfather, Art Scheiber, was born in St. Paul in January 1888. I also love that the person who created it was obviously not a real Minnesotan, because there are leaves on the trees, there's no snow on the ground, and there are boats on the totally-not-frozen river. Maybe that's how January works in Louisiana or something…but not Minnesota.
When I was a kid, I collected postcards. Although I've moved a bunch of times throughout my life, and I'm not a packrat at all, for some reason, I kept my postcard collection. When I started to decorate this interior hallway, I didn't have much left in my budget. I found this postcard rack at Pottery Barn on clearance, and I knew I'd finally found a home for my childhood postcards. For the walls, I bought antique postcards on eBay from locations where my husband's family or mine had lived, and I put them in cheap (REALLY cheap—like, $2.99 or so) frames from a craft store. The postcard sits between two panes of glass so that you can see the back if you need to (because the back of a postcard is often just as interesting as the front). This is the project I was working on when I accidentally bought a postcard that had been sent by one of my husband's ancestors.
I've talked about my love for stuff from Red Owl Food Stores in the past. My house came with these knickknack shelves in the kitchen, and I am not at all a knickknack person, so I didn't know what to do with them. I finally decided to fill them up with Red Owl stuff. These items are useful, too—the glass is a measuring cup that I actually use, my kids do their homework with the Red Owl pencils, and the coffee can holds crayons, so I can keep them busy while I make dinner. The Fanny Farmer truck on top is actually a piggy bank where I store loose change, so I always have some for the parking meters when I go downtown to do research. I get lots of comments from people from Minnesota or northern Wisconsin who visit and see this stuff, because folks from those areas remember Red Owl and Fanny Farmer.
What about you? Do you have family history stuff in your home decor?

Rainbow BRT
The Rainbow BRTS is being developed in phases as the sustainable public transport option for Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad. The Comprehensive Mobility Plans of both Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad recommend the development of such systems. The rapid increase in vehicular traffic, increased congestion, expanded city limits and longer travel distances are some important trends in the twin cities. A high quality public transport is essential to avoid adverse impacts on the health of people and quality of life.
Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporations recognise the need for creation of safe, affordable and world class bus rapid transit infrastructure and services, with focus on commuter comfort and convenience, integration of modes and information technology. These would help move towards a liveable and sustainable future
BRTS is an appropriate choice, as
- BRT is a flexible system.
- BRT can be built at much lower cost than any other form of mass transit system. with greater service coverage at low cost
- BRT can carry High Capacity
- Level Boarding facility reduces boarding time per person from 4 seconds to 0.4 seconds, hence Rapid
- It provides an integrated network of safer, faster, affordable and more efficient public transport.
The Rainbow BRTS project is being implemented with the financial support of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) of the Government of India. Additionally, specific components of the project in Pimpri Chinchwad are being funded under the 'Sustainable Urban Transport Project', which is an initiative of the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India and is supported by The World Bank, UNDP & GEF.

VA Salt Lake City Health Care System
VA Salt Lake City Fisher House
Red Carpet and Royal Treatment for Fisher Family and House Guests!!
Emotional, Ceremonial, Sensational! The Fisher House Dedication was truly a grand affair! We rolled out the red carpet for VIPs like Governor Gary Herbert, Montel Williams, Robert Forrester of Newman's Own, and Ken Fisher of the Fisher House Foundation. Gretchen Mack, mother of Lance Corporal Chance Phelps, sat front row as the house named in memory of her son was dedicated. Chance Phelps was a Marine killed in Iraq in 2004. Melba Wahlen also sat proudly in the front row imagining how her late husband, Medal of Honor recipient George E. Wahlen, would react to such an extraordinary day for Veterans. A tent full of so many people coming together to celebrate a single milestone: a safe place for hope and healing.
The Salt Lake City Fisher House is all about our Veterans and their families. Many of those families took part in the celebration right along with us, finding peace, joy and comfort with new friends and family. Since welcoming our first guests, we already see the difference being made in families' lives.
Thank you to our generous donors, volunteers, employees and to our local community for such incredible support.

Access Zero 60 (5 Year Anniversary)
Just in case anyone is unaware:
13th team name of the list, guys. Check it.
Last team name, but it's still there.
truck has drained my gas money i wont even make it to next paycheck :,,,,/ so thats a no for me now but on the other hand all i need is ujoint and inspection and im GOOOOODD for the Shadow to be running
I'm there =D
Well I just realized that my mother is graduating this saturday, which is good and bad news. Good that she is finally graduating. Also good because I will be able to make it to AZ on time for the first time in a while. Bad because I will have to miss a night of straight bankin'
I will be there. I also say maybe we should have someone go early and save us spots. What i was planning is if anyone wants too. we have converted my meet to a meet up spot for an hour or 2 and the roll out to AZ. But any one who wants to roll out there with me i will be leaving a little early. Plus we will need cones because the only reserved spots are the one's in front of the store if im correct. but also if we show up a lil before 9 we can get great spots because i showed up early last time and I was right up front.
i'll be there as well on my stock suspension lol.
There are new rules at planet zero I hope you guys are aware about.
Source:Straight from h-i
After much discussion, I would like to update the community on the changes/updates we have made to Access Zero to make it safer, more organized and to better serve the community. Thank you everyone who has posted up creative suggestions to help us. Special Thanks to Team Hi Oc, Aznguy83, mk3ofdoom, Kataboboi, SyntheticGT, CL9Lover and Youngin for helping us put ideas together at the meeting for a better meet.
1. We decided to keep the meet free.
2. We will have a reserved parking section for those who want to support the meet and help us out. Parking here is $5. Parking outside the reserved area is free, but you MUST be in a parking spot.
3. We will have a drink station outside in the parking lot for better accessibility selling Energy drinks, Sodas, Ramune, etc.
*The above 2 points will help us pay for the extra security and higher cost of running the meet. Please help us out.
4. We will have twice the HPD officers on duty at each meet.
5. HPD officers will now be stationed around the entrances and exits.
6. We are increasing the number of volunteers.
7. Driving around in circles, around the meet is no longer allowed. If we run out of parking, access to the lot will be restricted.
8. Driving around with your trunks/doors open is no longer allowed.
Sounds good. Let's get us a few free spots then maybe next time we could all pitch in and pay????? Unless we do it for this one????

Hello all! I'm currently looking for a new P2P MMO (Possibly B2P as well, depends on how good of a game it is)
I've currently been playing SWTOR, but BioWare/EA doesn't care about their playerbase and about 5% of the population have been having latency issues since patch 2.8 came out. They don't seem like they plan to fix it so..
The only thing I don't want someone to recommend is World of Warcraft. I played it for 7 years before I got into F2P MMO's, I WILL NEVER go back.
I am looking for a new P2P MMO simply because I feel they're better put together. I had tried FFXIV, but wasn't a fan of it. The graphics were beautiful but it felt incredibly slow.
What are some other suggestions people may have?

Nice pic comparison Zoom. Thanks for posting that.
i'm going to buy a couple bren mags from apex since they're 5 bucks i have researched what guys have done with them and everyone says they don't work but i would be happy even with a cut down bren mag that holds at least 10 rounds since they are 5 bucks
Has anyne gotten the Bren mags to feed well. I've seen one or two but never seemed to be finalized. akanator was one as I recall.
Mag adaptatation is a rough road. I have tried to get 54r to feed in a MG13 mag but no dice.
I've heard legends of .303 Bren mags being modified enough to run 54r I plan on narrowing the front of the mag, changing the feedlots to those on a psl mag removing the back rib on the top of the mag making mag catches out of weld, and modding the follower chopping off the rear but also clearing it so it can tilt properly for 54r since it will need to not tilt as much as with .303. This might be a fools errand but at 5 bucks a mag at apex and with me not being "allowed" to buy these mags after July 1st here in colorado I better poop or get off the pot lol, when I start on these I'll do a thread showing pictures if its even remotely successful.
I have achieved feeding with the VEPR single stack mags in a M76 milled receiver with a 54r bolt, carrier and barrel. But since they are 5 or 10 rounds only., it is a great leap backwards.
MG13 no go on one side and stumbles on the rimmed cartridge.
Ah I understand I still want to find someone to make me a 54r m76 barrel I have an m76 front section that's screaming for a reweld and .308/30-06 are too boring lol. Blue like said earlier ive thought about using a pan drum and making a feed tower have you thought about that?
Could hog out the M76 receiver for a PSL mag.., but a leap of faith.
A shame because ammo-wise it is very economical.
But then I stumbled on a NDS squareback receiver for cheap., so,,??
PSL 54r barrel bolt and carrier all match up nicely,
On the back burner for now. Contemplating a .308 M76 build with some help from Mark at AWO. We collaborated on the 54r M76 but could not solve the mag issue.
The .308 uses the M76 bolt, carrier and mag., just need the barrel. But not cheap to shoot.
Yeah that's a cool concept there I'm going to throw ideas around with turbo and have him do my reweld and psl mag mods if I end up doing a 54r m76 also I've thought about cutting the rear of the receiver and modding an svd stock to basically make some sort of m91 clone been thinking about this for years though
What I might do is grind the inside of an m76 receiver sections mag well to see how thin the sides end up at the back of the mag well to see if its even feasible
Yeah one of these days I want to do an M91 clone. So many ideas, so little money and time. LOL.
J, I still haven't even had time to do the head gaskets on the 928.

ProjectBox brings together everything you need to complete a DIY task into one carefully curated package; tools, consumables and instructions. Helping Europe's largest DIY retailer transition to a circular economy model by making hiring more desirable than buying.
DIY purchases are often very price driven. Projects can require a lot of new tools which can push consumers to the lower end of the market, where tools compete on price rather than quality. This can lead to a poor DIY experience. Once complete the tools are stored until they are needed again, which could be years in the future.
This isn't a sustainable model in the long term. Can we move the DIY market away from this linear approach to the circular economy?
In principle the answer is simple, let's hire rather than buy. Hiring is great for consumers as it means they can afford to use professional grade tools. It's more profitable for retailers as they can make repeated revenue from hiring the same tools and it has a lower environmental footprint by displacing the sales of cheaper tools. But the reality is more complex, B&Q had tried direct hiring and it had been unsuccessful. There were various reasons for this but at its core the idea of simply hiring individual tools didn't work for the DIY market, the additional complexity of hiring outweighed the potential benefits. For hiring to be successful it needed to be of much more benefit to the consumer.
ProjectBox took the idea of selling outcomes (consumers want a hole in their wall, not a drill) and scaled it up to entire DIY tasks such as tiling, laying flooring and building decking.
If you want to tile a room you hire a ProjectBox and get all the tools, materials and tailored instructions to complete the job. When you're finished, the box is collected along with any project waste and unused materials.
Ultimatelty we need to make hiring more desirable than buying. To do this we needed to create a better DIY experience, making it easier and less risky for the consumer. We knew the biggest barriers to tackling DIY were a lack of experience and a lack of confidence, so the design process focused on how we could accelerate the learning curve and de-risk DIY.
To do this we focused solely on tiling and immersed ourselves in the process. We organised tiling sessions to watch how people with no experience approached the problem; how they used the tools, what they were comfortable doing. In contrast we shadowed professional tilers to see what their techniques were; how they achieved the perfect finish, what their shortcuts were and what tools they used.
We also spent a lot of time looking at existing instructions and how people use them. YouTube is now the goto instructional resource, but the quality of the information is very varied and rarely matches the tools you are using. Tablets and phones don't mix well with tile adhesive either so there is often a transcribing process.
All this resulted in an in depth user experience map for tiling; identifying problem areas, opportunities and design challenges. This allowed us to design the ordering process, the hardware and the instructions with an absolute focus on making the process of tiling as smooth as possible.
We can't share the details of the service yet as it is still under development, but the principles are what's important. This project took an industry where price competition and material throughput rule the roost and created a service that made access and experience more desirable than owning products. This is very promising ground for the circular economy; great user experiences displacing linear sales models.
