Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Many of the pets we take in are ill or injured. Nearly all of the adult dogs have heartworms. Some will require special care for the rest of their lives. We do not pick and choose who we will take on the basis of their health or adoptability. Every life is sacred and deserving of our love and the very best care we can give.
During 2007, we saw many exciting things happen at our shelter. All of our female dogs are now spayed unless they have health problems that prevent this. At this point we are not able to neuter each male, but they are neutered prior to adoption. Every dog is on heartworm preventative, and 44 dogs have been treated for heartworms. We are treating our other heartworm positive dogs as fast as funds allow, and hope to have each dog treated before we lose any more to this terrible but easily preventable disease. All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and puppies receive vaccinations every 2-3 weeks until they are 4 months old. With our aggressive vaccination program, we have a very low incidence of infectious illnesses like parvo. Our dogs are housed in outside kennels with chainlink sides and concrete floors, with tarps over the kennels to provide protection from sun and rain. We were inspected by the Humane Society of Louisiana in October 2007 and no violations of code were found.
We are very happy that nearly 100 of our pets have found homes in the past year. But due to the overwhelming number of stray and abandoned animals in our area each one that was adopted was quickly replaced by another needing a home.
Our goal is never to turn away an animal with no other place to go, or let one die due to a treatable illness, and to find loving homes for as many of our dogs as possible.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Digital Image RAM
We all know that digital photos take up gobs of hard drive space, but how much RAM do you need to work on those images? 256MB? 512MB? 1 Gig? More?!
When it comes to RAM, more is always better. How much you need is going to depend on how large your photos are. For example, a Windows XP system with 512 MB of RAM can probably handle 2 or 3 megapixel images without breaking much of a sweat. However, ask it to work with an 8 megapixel image, and it may slow down to a crawl. My computer has 2 Gigs of RAM and doesn't like it when I have too many 8 MP images open, so there's never enough memory!
My advice is if you're going to do a lot of digital imaging with a 4MP camera or higher, seriously consider at least 1 Gig of RAM, particularly with XP. 2 Gig is even better, especially if you're using an 8MP camera. Memory is cheap, and the more of it you have, the better off you'll be.
Once you get that new memory installed, you'll be amazed at how much faster all your digital imaging work goes. For that matter, you'll probably notice an increase in speed across the board.
Naturally, you'll need to confirm with your computer's manufacturer that it can handle all that extra RAM you want to install. If it's a newer computer (say, 2 years old or less), you should be able to install at least 2 Gigs with no problem at all.
For some RAM installation guidelines, check out: http://www.worldstart.com/tips/tips.php/1224
If you already have a lot of memory in your computer but it still seems to be running too slow, you may want to read this article about clearing up excess startup programs:
If you have too much junk running at startup, you'll take a big hit in performance. No sense having all that shiny new RAM getting used up by software that you don't need running at the moment.
Happy Shooting!

ceiling drywall question
is standard 5/8" drywall ok to use on a ceiling with 2' on center joists? the place that delivers here free only has 1/2" "ceiling" drywall, not 5/8", though the guy assures me it's standard practice to use it (standard 5/8") on 2' spans on ceilings. anyone?
Around here everyone uses either 5/8" or high strength 1/2" on 24" centers
no sag with the 1/2" then? butbutbut, in another thread they said.... owell. cool. easier for my boy and i to lift then. =o)
I think Rippy was referring to a specialty product. "High strength" 1/2" is not the same as regular 1/2" drywall. It is manufactured specially to resist sagging on 24" centers. USG "Sheetrock Brand", Sag Resistant drywall is an example. The core of the board is formulated to resist sagging as well as 5/8" board, but is lighter. Especially important if you are going to use a spray texture and/or are in a humid enviornment. Only available at a drywall supply. Use 1/2" regular and you will likely end up with problems. You could "strap" the ceiling with 1"x4"s on 16" centers and use 1/2" regular, but really won't be a savings. Cost of material and labor to install strapping, then have to cut 3/4" off of every bottom sheet on the wall................I'd spring for 5/8" delivered.
BJB is right...it is NOT standard 1/2" Around here most of the home centers have it...not all though.
So what did you decide on for a drywall lift method?
reread first post. i know there's a difference. my place just doesn't carry 5/8" CEILING sheets, just 1/2". but if stiffer sheets in 1/2" is good on 2' centers, ok. as to how, read last post i did in that thread. and thankx again all.

Well sounds like you are off and running. Just remember to enjoy the sport of shooting as it can be a life long venture of learning. Good luck.
This is my first handgun and only the 4th time ever shooting one. I have much experience shooting in the Marines, but not handguns. I took a friend to the range after work. We split the range time and fee. I was a little nervous, but excited. I put the first target out about 10 yds. Loaded a single round. Got all line up and fired. Bullseye. I was impressed at how smooth the trigger pull was. So I loaded up 8 more rounds. Because my friend had a 7 rd mag in his Bersa 380 I didn't want to hog the lane with too many rounds in my mag. I fired the next 8 rounds. All but one in the black. Wow I thought. I rock. But I figured it was beginners luck. He got his turn. I put up another target. 6 out of 8 in the black with 1 in the red. Could have covered them with a 4 inch circle. A couple strayed out a couple inches. I shot on 12 targets most at about 10 yds and a couple at about 12 or 13yds. 90% of my shots were in the black and tight groups and quite a few in the red. But almost everything was left of the bullseye. Hmmm I shot to the left a lot. I couldn't believe how easy and smooth this gun is. I love it. The guy at the range was standing behind us at one point, I think because he knew we were beginners and I never shot the gun and he didn't want us to kill anyone. Well he said that was some nice shooting especially for a beginner. I noticed he had an XD strapped to his hip. I felt pretty good about that. I definitely feel that handling the gun at home while just sitting in front of the TV and getting the feel for it helped a lot. But I think that the gun made it easy. I spent a lot of time researching which gun to buy. I have no doubts that I made the right choice. When I buy my carry gun I will look at the compact version. It felt good in my hand. Thank to everyone for answering all my questions and giving great advice. It helped a lot.
Well sounds like you are off and running. Just remember to enjoy the sport of shooting as it can be a life long venture of learning. Good luck.
hi gr8johnson, i have a post titled first gun,in the general semi-auto forum that has a link to the torture test that was done on the XD if you want to look at it.i also have an service XD but in 40 cal. it is the easiest gun to shoot 40 cal that i have ever used. i like the XDs a lot, enjoy your gun.
Wow, you shot alot better than I did first time out with my XD 9mm Tactical. My misses tended to the left also. I've shot it twice now about 300 rds. total using a man sized silhouette (upper body only of course) and I've been just under 90% hits mostly in the vital areas (10 yards out). Every five or six rounds I tend to fire off three or four quick ones and I think it is these that are missing.
Semper Fi and good shooting. That XD is a smooth shooting pistol. I shot a friends and I think you made a good choice for a first pistol.
The XD is a fantastic pistol, good job and thanks for sharing your story, it made my night.
Only problem I have heard with the XDs is you can't just have one. I have a XD45 Service model and love it.

For the first time in a couple years, John Elway has a ton of money to play with in free agency. With a new coaching staff and holes in key spots on the roster, we expect Elway to move quickly and spend a good portion of his available cap space.
http://www.scout.com/nfl/broncos/story/1681565-5-reasons-you-should-go-p... We are well versed with the big name guys being linked to Denver, but how about the under the radar options? Lets dive in.
Danny Woodhead, RB, Los Angeles Chargers
Woodhead is a logical fit that Denver will push to sign. He played for the Denver Broncos new/old Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy in San Diego, enjoying his most successful years under McCoy's tutelage.
While Broncos Country is infatuated with hometown hero Christian McCaffrey, Woodhead would represent a proven commodity in the NFL who wont cost the team a premium draft selection and should come at a bargain of a contract for Denver.
Woodhead automatically upgrades the Broncos offense. Woodhead could also be a boost in the return game, an area Denver needs to address.
D.J. Fluker, OT/G, Los Angeles Chargers
Fluker was just released by the Chargers, adding another offensive line option to the market for Denver. Fluker was a highly touted offensive tackle coming out of Alabama in the 2013 draft where the Chargers selected him 11th overall.
As a street free agent, Fluker is eligible to sign with a new team right away, Denver should have interest with McCoy and Fluker's former position coach Jeff Davidson now on staff. Fluker is still very young and would be able to play at right tackle or at guard.
Sebastian Vollmer, OT, New England Patriots
Vollmer is another offensive lineman who is a street free agent and eligible to sign with a team at any time. Vollmer comes from a championship team, having won two Super Bowls over the past three seasons with the Patriots. Vollmer has played both tackle positions during his career but would best fit as a right tackle for Denver.
Eric Kush, C/G, Chicago Bears
http://www.scout.com/nfl/broncos/story/1760703-denver-broncos-free-agenc... Kush was the tank-topped star of HBO's Hard Knocks this past offseason. While Kush failed to stick with the Rams, he ended up in Chicago providing consistent play while filling in due to injuries.
Kush would provide depth at center and guard and insurance in case C Matt Paradis has issues in his recovery from surgery on both hips this offseason and a switch to a power blocking scheme, which Paradis is ill-suited for.
Domata Peko, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
At this point of his career, Peko represents a depth player along the defensive line and a veteran presence in the locker room. Peko and new head coach Vance Joseph worked together in Cincinnati, making Peko a logical fit at a position of need.
Bennie Logan, DT, Philadelphia Eagles
Logan is quietly one of the top defensive linemen on the market. He would fill a huge need for Denver at defensive tackle and would likely be a starter for the team. Logan would immediately upgrade Denver's defense against the run, while anchoring the defensive line.
Elway and company will look to fill as many holes as possible prior to the draft and will be aggressive in doing so. Denver's roster is stacked with talent and should only see that talent level increase once Elway is done with free agency.

Landscaping Guidance
Looking for some advice on how to landscape this house. I'd like to somehow make the house look not so squatty, if some landscape decisions could help aid in that. Also, I'd like to make the front door look like it's centered in the porch, if theres's some sort of distraction I can make with the landscaping. I'd like a small tree of some sort to the right of the porch and something else tall on the far left corner. Any suggestions? What would be something good to fill in the space in between?
That picture isn't showing up.
That certainly very flat and boring, but some people like repetition, neatness and stark contrasts. - Flat horizontal roof line, boring shingles, symmetrical white columns and black vertical shutters framing a white window. Even the trees are in a line perpendicular to the home. Does the grass grow in rows? It looks like a nice croquet field.
That sidewalk from the entry is probably dead level parallel to the house and at right angles to the driveway so it is easy to march directly into the house. - How about a more pleasing curved sidewalk the breaks the symmetry and invite people in?
You need some softness, change of elevation and color and distraction from the predictable..
The door cannot be moved, but you can draw attention to the door by using a dramatic, bright color and then use a narrow vertical lattice (bright color) with some lacy climbing vegetation.to the right of the door to put the door in the center of the "new" opening.
Get some more soil to create some contour (vertically) to the yard. Use some colored small plants that change colors seasonally in and around the elevation changes landscaping/mounds. A smaller very full tree would also help the break you front polo field.
I don't mean to be brutal, but everyone has their opinion when it comes to appearance, sue and practicality. I am in the middle of correcting deferred landscaping errors in a 30 year old townhouse (corner quad home) and am having a 25' flowering crab, several arborvitaes, 30' spruce removed and dramatically trimiming a 40' green ash trimmed to make the yard usable and more attractive. Everything grows and it has to trimmed/removed/added to or replaced periodically and used to fill in where needed. Fortunately, I own the land around my place and have the right to cut, trim and replace what was done properly at one time, but it's time has come. The only problem I have is I must replace every tree removed, but that is an opportunity for future appearance (10-20 years).
1 Attachment(s)
How about a landscape feature in the lower right corner. Possibly something like this: (Maybe a big boulder in the center)
Thanks for the replies. Dick, I suppose I have a little easier job than you because there is not much I have to remove. I totally agree with creating some mounds for some depth and layers. Any suggestions for a small tree to grow in the space between the two far right windows? I may occupy the far left area with a couple of crepe myrtles to cover the blank brick on the end, and fill in with boxwoods or another similar small bush accordingly. Probably thinking two junipers to flank either side of the porch to give some skinny height to bring the eye up hopefully. I like your idea about the small arbor--I actually have one we can use. Thanks!
Crepe Myrtles would be good because of the color to brighten things and draw the eye away. I liked the when I lived in VA, but so did everyone as long as they could manage them.
You are right about not having to remove much and you only have to maintenance trimming on what you have and not fall behind. You have a blank pallet to use for your own needs and preferences.
Color will help if you can get the right combination to work with what seasons you have. - We (MN) only have two seasons - green and flowers or white with accents of green and brown and I often think the white is prettier at times, when we get enough snow, but brown Christmases are not pretty.
Finally had a chance to photograph the new plants and pine straw, with a natural trench border. Really adds some nice curvature to the house, now just to wait for the height.
If it isn't your "forever" house don't spend money on anything that adds to the weekly upkeep work load and definitely any real expense. Focus on making the upkeep easier if you can.
The house looks big enough for a lawn tractor...
at least an RER.
Go slowly around the perimeter on the mower then look for what what areas the mower DOESN'T cut.
These will become your planting bed locations.
The question then becomes what you plant.
For that... talk to the local nursery man.

It gets no easier to sell Newcastle United, either as a going concern or as a place of potential employment. Terry Venables will have watched this half-baked Newcastle performance on television and perhaps hoped that yesterday's preliminary contact from the St James' Park hierarchy is not followed up today.
Unfortunately for Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, Venables witnessed Leeds United disintegrate from the inside in his nine months at Elland Road six years ago and, if this is not a replica situation, the parallels must be making Venables feel uncomfortable. A squad stripped to the bone over successive transfer windows, lop-sided and assembled by half-a-dozen managers at least, it can be only the purest form of optimism, or cash, that brings Venables north again. Or the challenge, of course.
Newcastle are a mess and even before September is out look a reasonable bet to be relegated from the Premier League for the first time. A fourth straight defeat was inflicted by the only team beneath them in the division.
Tottenham came as League Cup holders, but drained of confidence, and yet courtesy of Roman Pavlyuchenko's first goal for the club in the 62nd minute, and a follow-up from Jamie O'Hara shortly after, Juande Ramos's side eased themselves into Saturday's fourth round draw.
Michael Owen did score what is sometimes referred to as a consolation in the 90th minute, but no one in this vast deserted stadium was fooled by that. The attendance, 20,577, was Newcastle's smallest crowd for 16 years.
Both Spurs goals were rooted in slack Newcastle passing and caretaker Chris Hughton emerged slowly afterwards to say: "It probably sums up where we are. A run of defeats generally affects confidence."
Hughton said he saw "some positives" though he did not go into detail, but possibly his telling comment was that Tottenham "had a very good bench".
David Bentley, Luka Modric and Darren Bent were on it – £50m worth – while Newcastle's again featured teenagers such as Ben Tozer and Mark Doninger, lads who would not be recognised if they were sitting on the Gallowgate.
The pre-match feeling was that Spurs are a good team in a lull whereas Newcastle are a bad team. That was not confirmed by any of the action in a Spartan first half. In an atmosphere that smacked of a pre-season friendly the ball was won and lost with depressing frequency.
Tottenham's best effort then fell to Pavlyuchenko, but his free header from O'Hara's 32nd minute corner flew inches wide. Newcastle's card should have been marked by that, however.
Claudio Cacapa did worry Heurelho Gomes as the first half petered out – his headed flick skimming by – and Newcastle were bright at the beginning of the second half. But for Jonathan Woodgate's sliding goalline clearance Damien Duff would have given the hosts a 48th minute advantage.
When Owen then had a 59th minute effort closed down by Gomes, it seemed as if Newcastle were rediscovering some coherence. But it was a mirage. Three minutes later a series of poor midfield passes culminated in Nicky Butt tapping the ball to Pavlyuchenko.
The Russian immediately swivelled away and Spurs were engaged in a dangerous attack. O'Hara spread the ball wide to the left where Aaron Lennon had switched wings. Cutting in, Lennon floated in a tempting centre that Pavlyuchenko met six yards out. Sadly for Shay Given, no Newcastle defender found the cross tempting. Pavlyuchenko had his first goal in England.
Less than four minutes later and yet more slack Newcastle passing gifted Spurs their second. Fabricio Coloccini, a £9.1m signing, by Dennis Wise apparently, had failed to get close to Pavlyuchenko and now he played the ball across the back four.
Steven Taylor was the target but Taylor was either complacent or asleep and O'Hara simply nipped in and took the ball. Bearing down on Given, O'Hara then planted the ball beyond the Irishman.
Owen did restore hope briefly with an assured 90th minute finish, but the three minutes of added time could bring no equaliser. Tottenham Hotspur should have bottomed out; Newcastle are still tumbling.
Newcastle United (4-4-2) Given; Geremi, Taylor, Coloccini, Bassong; Duff (Xisco, 72), Butt, Cacapa (Edgar, 72), N'Zogbia; Owen, Martins. Substitutes not used: Harper, Doninger, Donaldson, Ameobi.

BETHESDA, Md.—Thomas F. Smith, 96, an industry veteran who worked with CSAA and AICC, passed away on March 21.
WASHINGTON—The recent FCC ruling on net neutrality appears to give security professionals a "level playing field," but it remains to be seen if it will fully satisfy the industry, according to Lou Fiore, chairman of AICC.
CSAA recently posted on its site about the matter of net neutrality, as well as sending out a message from Alarm Industry Communications Committee chair Lou Fiore concerning the topic. Capitol Hill has various items up for consideration on net neutrality, according to Fiore.
"Our goal at this point is simply to let Congress know we are here again and what our needs are as primarily small businesses. At some point legislation will move forward, probably as a rewrite of the Telecommunications Act, and we want to ensure we are not forgotten," Fiore said in the message.
Net neutrality is the concept that all Internet traffic should be treated the same by Internet service providers. This has been an ongoing issue for the security industry and carries with it serious implications.
"Our primary concern is that broadband and wireless network providers are increasingly offering services that compete with us in providing home and business security services. Without some protection for smaller players, these network providers will have an incentive to favor their own security services and 'throttle' or 'block' our emergency signals in order to gain a competitive advantage," CSAA said on its site.
CSAA also provides a letter template to be sent to key members of Congress, along with contact information for these key people. CSAA urges its members to contact their local congressperson by Feb. 26, and to emphasize the personal aspect of their company's situation in this issue.
The association has also posted other stances the industry has taken on this issue, as well as a portion of the 1996 telecommunications act, on its site.
In addition to this push towards net neutrality, AICC announced today the start researching the matter of dropped signals from digital alarm communications transmitters. This will be done through a survey also available on CSAA's site.
According to a recent press release from CSAA, findings from this effort will be made available at the next AICC meetings in March and June of 2015.
WASHINGTON—Concerned about fair, reliable and accurate transmission of alarm data, the ESA and the Alarm Industry Communications Committee are urging the FCC to support net neutrality.
VIENNA, Va.—The Central Station Alarm Association has launched a pair of surveys, one dealing with the proposed "Alarm Monitoring Model Licensing Act," and another with industry compensation practices, according to separate news releases from the CSAA.
AT&T's 2012 announcement that it would phase out 2G service left most in the alarm industry, well, unfazed. With wireless technology, such changes come with the territory. Moreover, it's not the alarm industry but the mobile phone industry that dictates network "sunsets." As Lou Fiore, Chairman of the Alarm Industry Communications Commission, put it in a recent conversation: "As long as you go cellular, there is no endgame here."
A few months after the initial announcement, AT&T attached a deadline (Jan 1, 2017) to its 2G sunset. Since that time, the AICC has established a regular line of communication with AT&T, which sends a representative to attend the organization's quarterly meetings.
AT&T informed AICC that, while interim changes would take place in advance of the 2G sunset, the changes would not affect the alarm industry. AICC members, Fiore said, were "skeptical."
"We tried to impress upon [AT&T] the fact that our control sets hang on the wall, and if you change the operating parameters of that network, it may not work anymore," Fiore said. "You can't ask the homeowner to move the unit around to see if it works."
Fiore, who is in the process of gathering information regarding possible outages for units tied to AT&T's 2G network, said that in given locations, customers might still get 2G coverage but that there's a chance it "won't be as deep as it was before."
Fortunately, there are some steps alarm companies can take to mitigate outages. Companies can switch to AT&T's 3G or 4G network by choosing matching hardware from a cellular alarm communicator, or to one of AT&T's competitors (the 3G and 4G networks of Verizon and Sprint are an option, Fiore said). Certain companies may be able to go with a wired network, but this is highly contingent upon business model, Fiore noted.
Still three years from the deadline, AT&T's 2G sunset promises to be a story with several more chapters. I'll be watching closely to see what kind of ripple effects it has on the industry.
SecureWatch 24's new Fusion Centre in Moonachie, N.J., has a new tenant: Monitor America.
That's the name of the company that will be operating the 25,000-square-foot central station at the facility, which served as an emergency command post for police and municipal officials after Hurricane Sandy.
Jay Stuck, chief marketing officer for Monitor America, said the company "brings together virtually all existing alarm and hosted video services available today, including video analytics, in one central point."
Stuck said Monitor America is developing a third-party sales initiative and a traditional dealer program. It will all be anchored by the advanced technology at the Fusion Centre, with a 40-by-11-foot video display wall overlooking stadium-style seating for 36 operators.
"It looks like something NASA might put together—our dealer customers and integrators will be knocked out by it," he said.
Monitor America is hosting a sneak preview of its new facility during ISC East and is expected to begin formal operations by the end of January.
After the storm: How did you cell carrier measure up?
It's only been a month since Sandy, but officials are already deep into assessing its impact on everything from tunnel vulnerability to emergency communications. Part of the evaluation concerns cellular service, with FCC hearings set early next year on network performance during and after the storm.
Lou Fiore, chairman of the Alarm Industry Communications Committee, said the group plans to weigh in and is seeking comment on the following:
1) How alarm service was adversely affected by cellular carriers' handling of the storm.2) How cell carriers handled prioritizing restoration of service.3) How cell carriers communicated with alarm companies about storm issues.4) How any problems can be resolved.
Fiore said the issue will be discussed at the AICC's Dec. 6 meeting and all comments are appreciated. Responses can be sent to email@example.com.
YARMOUTH, Maine—A mandate for security businesses to have an in-state office to operate in Delaware would be superseded by legislation awaiting consideration by Congress, according to Lou Fiore, chairman of the Alarm Industry Communications Commission.
OAKLAND, Calif.—AT&T's move to partially disable its 2G service here at the end of August got the attention of California Alarm Association members, but the frequency blackout did not affect operations in the field, according to CAA Executive Director Jerry Lenander.
HARRISBURG, Pa.—Proposed legislation in Pennsylvania to deregulate the telecommunications industry in the state would give an unfair advantage to telecom providers of home security services, according to an attorney with the Alarm Industry Communications Committee (AICC).

Painted Skirts, Bumper and Front Grill Black
I was at wits end with that horrible gray all around my Montreal Blue 1995 325i Vert, so I originally thought I would scrub the grey off to the Montreal Blue. Started the job and was having some success but decided that, in my opinion, the skirts, bumper and front grill would look cool gloss black.
I got some 400 grit paper and sanded down the skirts, then wiped with mineral spirits followed by tack rag. For the skirts I purchased two rattle cans of gloss black Krylon Rust, two rattle cans of Krylon Fusion for the plastic bumper and grille and two rattle cans of Krylon Clear coat for everything.
I spent most of Friday and Saturday taking my time. I gave each skirt, rear bumper and front grille 5 very thin coats of black followed by three coats of clear. Came out awesome. Only pissed I didn't do it sooner.
My whip looks really clean trimmed in the gloss black. Only thing that I messed up was after I sanded the skirts, I didn't rewash the car, I only wiped down the to be painted surfaces as mentioned. After the job was complete I waited till Sunday to wash the car to get all the dust off. Well, some of the fine dust would not come off and the surface of the paint felt rough. At first I was concerned that it would not come off but then I decided to clay the entire car. Claying worked like a gem, paint is as smooth as a baby's buttocks.

....because I bought 4 boxes of Winchester PDX1 Elite yesterday in .40S&W. Paid $23 a box for 20 rounds. Well stupid me should have done a little investigating first. While browsing on Defensive Carry today I found this...Winchester Q4360 180gr vs PDX-1 180gr vs Ranger Bonded 180gr RA40B. The Winchester Q4369 is basically the same ammo as the PDX-1 and can be had for $18 a box for fifty rounds.
Oh well... Its just money. Cant take it with us anyway.

I asked my stock broker the other day, what I should be investing in ....his reply, canned goods n ammo !!!
I never buy pistol ammo in boxes containing less than 50 rounds because of experiences like yours.
20 round boxes of pistol ammo are a ripoff,Since federal HST doesn't seem to be available any longer like it was,I now carry Ranger T-series in all my guns,

Wiper Problem any ideas
Just wanted to say this forum is great and has been very helpful i tired doing a search but couldn't find anything related to my current issue.
Just started this morning, my wipers stay about an inch or two up from where they should be when stopped, I also noticed that they make one sweep when I turn the ignition and then when I start the jeep again.
This is on an 05 Laredo which doesn't have the rain sensing wipers, any ideas what could be causing this?
Re: Wiper Problem any ideas
My wipers do the same thing...did you ever get a response on this :confused:
Thanks! :thumbsup:
Re: Wiper Problem any ideas
you are sure your wiper sitch is off? right? Did the wipers ever get caught on anything? Ice maybe? If not, and they cycle every time you restart the motor (and the switch is off) sounds like a reflash problem that the stealership may have to look at. Unfortunately, just a guess.
Re: Wiper Problem any ideas
Re: Wiper Problem any ideas
Blindly throwing a dart - is there a sensor or relay to check for those?
Re: Wiper Problem any ideas
I have the same exact problem.
Re: Wiper Problem any ideas
I am having a similar problem with my 05 (w/o rain-sense). Sometimes when I turn on my wipers they will move about an inch up the window and stop. The only way to get them to move is to turn off the wipers. Doing so always returns them to the off position. Every time, if I follow this by turning back on the wipers, they will do a full pass.
Sometimes the wipers will do a full pass correctly the first time, but then get hung up the same way after 2-3 successful passes. And again, I can "fix" by turn wipers off, then on.
Any ideas?

Flash Gordon
Buy Album Online
Album Details
By Greg Brooks and Gary Taylor
Queen's ninth studio album was the original soundtrack to the movie based on the comic strip character Flash Gordon. It was the band's first foray into the film world and would prove to be their only full soundtrack album. Later, they would write several songs for the first Highlander adventure in 1986, which emerged (in reworked form) on the album A Kind Of Magic, also in that year, but that was not a soundtrack LP.
The Flash Gordon music was recorded for Director Mike Hodges and Producer Dino De Laurentiis' $22 million remake of the 1930's black and white sci-fi film. The band was first approached in 1979, and as writing film music was something they had all thought about but had not yet got around to, their Manager arranged a meeting with De Laurentiis and mentioned Queen's interest in scoring the film. Rumour has it that De Laurentiis' first reaction was simply, "Who are the Queens?" They were, as it turned out, the first rock band he had ever listened to, and the outcome was that the band was commissioned to write the music for the movie.
Brian May later explained: "We saw 20 minutes of the finished film and thought it very good and over the top. We wanted to do something that was a real soundtrack. It's a first in many ways, because a rock group has not done this type of thing before, or else it's been toned down and they've been asked to write mushy background music. Whereas we were given the licence to do what we liked, as long as it complimented the picture."
Having just finished a lengthy European tour, and a further three week stint in Japan, spanning January to May, Queen spent the summer of 1979 working on The Game album, mostly at Musicland studios in Munich. It was during these sessions that they also started work on the score for Flash Gordon. Producing two albums simultaneously was not easy, but both progressed well. After touring, holidays and other ventures, more work on Flash Gordon and The Game followed in the early part of 1980, again in Munich, and then a U.S. tour commenced in June and ran through to October. After a well-earned holiday for most of October, Queen set to work on completing the Flash soundtrack at Advision, Townhouse, and The Music Centre studios in London. The Hero was alone recorded at Utopia studios also in London. The album was complete by November.
The music was composed, performed, arranged and (Executive) produced by Queen, with the overall album credited as a Brian May and Mack production. Like The Game, which was the first Queen LP to feature synthesizers, Flash Gordon continued the trend, though it features significantly more synths than The Game. Additional orchestral arrangements on the album were by Howard Blake, who also conducted the orchestra, and all of it was recorded at Anvil Studios. The orchestra features mostly throughout the film, to compliment Queen's music, though some of it did also make the final soundtrack album too.
Flash Gordon was released in the UK on 8th December 1980. This will live in history as a notorious date because it also happens to be the day that John Lennon was shot dead outside his apartment in New York – an event which, in Queen terms, would later inspire Brian and Freddie to write two songs for the album that followed Flash Gordon; Put Out The Fire and Life Is Real (Song For Lennon) – for the Hot Space LP (1982). The band also performed Lennon's Imagine at their own concert, the day after news broke of his death, at London's Wembley Arena, as a tribute to the man who (with the rest of the Beatles) had been such a major influence on Queen.
In the USA, Flash Gordon was issued over a month later, on 27th January 1981. The LP reached No 10 in the UK charts and 23 in America, both achieving gold award status. The album also made the Top 20 in Japan and Holland, and No 2 and 1 in Germany and Austria respectively.
The album cover concept came from Freddie; the Flash Gordon logo over a vivid yellow background, and with a scene from the film on the back, while the inner sleeve featured four individual photos of the band taken during the 1980 USA Game Tour by regular Queen live photographer Neil Preston.
Though some fans were a little dubious to hear Queen were recording music for a comic character-inspired film adventure, the album that emerged was a pleasant surprise on various levels. The music works well as an accompaniment to the visuals of the film, punctuated by sound effects and dialogue from the cast, including Max Von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Topol and the larger than life English actor Brian Blessed. Any reservations among the fans were soon cast aside when the album's only single Flash was released worldwide prior to the album, and faired well in the charts.
Roger Taylor: "We've been offered quite a few films, but Flash Gordon was something which Brian and I were quite attracted to because of its sci-fi thirties connotations. The album was totally under our control and it was our idea to put dialogue on the album. That wasn't the original idea. We thought we'd get little snippets to give some idea of what was happening in the film and some atmosphere of the story."
All tracks were titled after the appropriate part of the film each part was written for, and when hearing the album in its own right the listener gets a vivid idea as to what's happening in the story. The drama of the action, dialogue and over the top special effects, with Queen's distinctive sound threading through it all, is a compelling and greatly unusual blend.
The album opens with the soundtrack version of Flash's Theme, the first of only two songs on the whole LP to feature proper vocals. The second example is that of the guitar driven The Hero, which closes the album in such imposing fashion. Both songs were written by Brian, and while the first was a single release (albeit in a different form), The Hero was never released as a single, which many fans still regard as a major oversight. It features a magnificent vocal from Freddie, as well as a stirring melody, percussion, bass and guitar riffs as powerful as any Queen single.
The rest of the material on the album is essentially instrumental pieces with dialogue here and there, and though a couple of the songs are less than a minute long, some contain truly beautiful moments of Queen at their sublime best, with emotive sounds that match the scenes perfectly.
Brian also contributed the songs Flash To The Rescue, incorporating the familiar Flash beat and some intriguing elements from the film, while Battle Theme allows him to indulge some trademark heavy guitar before the song explodes into Crash Dive On Mingo City. Wagner's majestic The Wedding March is given the full May/Red Special treatment in much the same vein as God Save The Queen was five years earlier on the album A Night At The Opera. Marriage of Dale And Ming (and Flash approaching), which Brian co wrote with Roger, features verses of Flash and yet more guitar, while Flash's Theme Reprise (Victory celebrations) concludes the story in truly heroic style.
It is easy to overlook this album, with its brash Flash Gordon imagery and unusual subject matter, and given that it clearly isn't a traditional Queen studio album, but actually there are some real treasures to be found on this disc. The aforementioned Hero is a triumph on all levels, and Battle Theme demands attention and then refuses to be forgotten. Both tracks featured in the Queen concerts of the time, and both went down a storm – especially The Hero.
Roger's other contributions to the soundtrack are In The Space Capsule (The love theme), with its sinister drum sounds and symphonic explosion at the end, the stark and rather foreboding In The Death Cell (Love theme reprise), and finally Escape From The Swamp, with its tense timpani led sound.
Freddie wrote the equally menacing Ming's Theme (In The Court Of Ming The Merciless), The Ring (Hypnotic Seduction Of Dale), containing a truly chilling synth line, the fast and furious Football Fight, and the typically romantic The Kiss (Aura resurrects Flash). Freddie also composed Vultan's Theme (Attack of the Hawk Men), with its feisty synth and drums perfectly complimenting an epic battle in the sky in which actor Brian Blessed (himself a big Queen fan) is as boisterous and unmistakable as ever.
John contributed Execution Of Flash, featuring some heavenly vocals from Freddie, and Arboria (Planet of the Tree Men), an eerie but tranquil interlude that brings together some of the main characters in the film as they unite to take on the mighty and merciless ruler Ming.
The album was well received by the press and critics alike and each review of the film made a special reference to the music from Queen. The LP was nominated for a BAFTA award and an Ivor Novello, and the film premiered in London on 11th December 1980.
After touring Europe and spending time at home, the band resumed touring in 1981, commencing in Japan on 12th February, with five nights at the colossal Budokan in Tokyo. Prior to this on February 10th, Queen are invited as honoured guests to the premiere of the Flash Gordon movie in Tokyo, and are interviewed on stage before the film is screened.
The only single to be released from the album was Flash, coupled with Freddie's contrasting Football Fight. The disc was released in the UK on November 24th 1980 and was followed by a worldwide release. In the Elektra territories, including the USA, Canada, Australia and Japan, the single was re-titled Flash's Theme (A.K.A Flash), hence the confusion to this day each time the track is referred to. Sometimes it's Flash, other times it's Flash's Theme. The author of the piece, Mr May, prefers the latter. The single was issued in the USA on 27th January 1981 and reached No 42 in the charts. It had already reached No 10 in the UK, gaining a silver disc award, and reached the top 10 also in Ireland, No 3 in Germany and No 1 in Austria.
The single version of the song differed to the album cut quite significantly in that Brian added film dialogue to the single mix, making the track more of a complete song and giving some idea of what the film was about, which was especially appealing for radio play.
The video for Flash (or is it Flash's Theme?) was recorded at Advision Studios in London, and, like the movie, was directed by Mike Hodges. Permission was given to use clips of the film, and this was intercut with footage of the band simulating the recording of the track in the studio. Another alternate video, though similar, was also shot, but has never been released on any official video or DVD.

Getting Started in Binary Options
Welcome to Binary Options University! We are happy to have you join us for learning, studying and profiting in one of the fastest growing trading markets. Keep in mind, this trading site is on the Internet to help you achieve your trading goals, but please make sure you understand the Risks.This type of action is fairly new and has been growing as one of the fastest markets since 2008. Binary options trading is one of the most lucrative marketplaces nowadays because of the potential for huge gains in a short period of time. In the past, the stock market has been seen as a haven for people looking for big gains, but a stock trader is generally deemed as fairly successful when they have achieved a rate of return of 10 percent per year for their portfolio. With this new instrument, you can see a profit of 75 or even 85 percent per trade.
How Can We Help?
Don't be fooled, though. Trading these successfully over the long term is not an easy thing to do. They are high risk, in part because of their all-or-nothing nature. When you are on the profitable side of things, you can gain up to 85 percent of the amount you risked. If you are wrong and have no rebate features with your broker, you will lose 100 percent of what you had risked. This means that for it to be profitable to you, you need to be right in your predictions more often than you are wrong.
When you want to start trading, the platform will differ a little bit from broker to broker, but your basic interface will be the same. First, you select an asset. Then you select which direction you think it will go (up/call, or down/put). Next you figure out your timeframes. Do you want to have a quick 60 second trade? or do you want to choose an expiration time 30 minutes from now? Your brokerage should help you to easily pick an expiry from a list near the asset you have selected. Finally, you want to decide how much to risk. Some brokers have a minimum of $5 or $10 per trade. If you're new, you will want to start out as small as possible until you have refined your technique. Next, when you're sure that everything is the way you want it, you hit the button that executes the trade for you. Then, you just sit back and wait to see if you were right or wrong.
Types of Options
At their most basic, there are two main types. The call option is what you will use when you think that the price of the asset in question will go up. You utilize the put option when you think the price will be going down.
This is extremely simple to learn—only one of two things can happen. You are either right and you see a profit returned to you, or you are wrong and you lose your risked money. This creates an illusion of simplicity. Binaries might be simple in how profits and losses are set up, but this is where they stop being easy. If you want to be successful trading, you need to have a mastery over chart interpretation, sentimental and technical analysis tools, and even have a good eye for spotting significant fundamental trades.
Getting Started
The best way to start a career in binary trading is to get some practice in with a demo trading account. With a demo account, you can practice trading in real time with certain brokers. There is no way to duplicate the experience that comes with real trading.
The way it works is pretty easy. With demo trading, you are given a certain amount of fake money to start out with. You can use that money anyway you see fit. The platform you will be using for demo trading is the same platform that you will use when you're actually trading with real money, so demo trading helps eliminate the learning curve and any mistakes that you might make while figuring out how to use the software. US Traders can open a Nadex Demo Account in no time.
Demo accounts will differ from broker to broker, and some places do not even offer demo trading. Still, this is an important part of your trading tutelage. 24option and Traderush offer ongoing practice accounts.
There is a downfall to using a virtual account, however. Most binary options brokers that have it will only allow you to keep it open for a very short period of time. Some will only allow you to demo trade for 72 hours. This is more than enough time to figure out how to use pretty much all aspects of how the software functions, but if you are brand new to trading, this is hardly enough time to work out an effective trading strategy. If you are new to trading, you will want to give yourself as much time as possible before starting out. Experience is something that you need to accumulate over time.
Preparing For Your First Trade
The thing about binary options trading is that you cannot enter a trade unprepared—ever. In order to meet long term success here, you need to have a viable method of identifying profitable trades and a good money management system to make sure you are never risking too much at any one time or risking too little for the trade to be worthwhile. Trading strategies can take months (or longer) to develop, and if you skimp out on this area of your trading, you will likely not be successful. Do your research on the asset you are looking at and make sure that you have a good entry point picked. This will make sure that you are being efficient at picking winning trades.
The trade you pick doesn't need to be a monumental one. Small movement of only a 1/10th of a pip will get you a profitable outcome. Still, if you are trying to select only the very best trades, you will not be trading as many trades throughout the day as the person who looks for tiny movement.
Which method you ultimately apply is up to you, but think about it this way: would you rather have a few trades with a really high probability of success, or many trades that look like they will go only slightly in your favor. If you make only a few trades per day, but the quality of their outcome is superior, you might be able to make more money off of fewer trades. Quality is more important than quantity.
However, the immense risk that is associated with binaries is also something that you can easily use to your advantage. The knowledge that you gain because you know what you are risking is a tool that can make money management a whole lot easier. For example, when you are trying to determine your weekly goals for profits, you can easily determine how many trades and of what amount those trades need to be in order for you to hit your goal.
Selecting a Broker
There are many different brokers out there to choose from. However, there is no one right broker out there for every need. Different traders will have different areas that are important to them so there is no broker that will satisfy every need. Still, there are a few main things that you should be keeping your eyes open for when figuring out which broker or brokers to use for your trading.
- Ease of use. You want a company that will allow you to use their software without fear of difficulty or delay. With fast paced trades you can't afford it if the software slows down or wastes precious seconds.
- Enough assets. There's no point in trading at a broker that doesn't have the assets that you want to trade. If you have a background in Forex trading, you want to make sure that they have a rich assortment of the currencies that you would be interested in trading. If they don't have the assets you need, don't waste your time.
- Good rates of return. This is imperative. If one site is offering you an 83 percent rate of return while another is offering you 84 percent, as long as all other factors are the same, you need to go with the one offering more—even if it is only a 1 percent difference. Factors like ease of use are important, but you don't want to sacrifice profits just because one broker takes a little bit longer to get used to than another.
- Enough option choices. There are more choices than just the standard call/put options. As you become more advanced in your trading, you will find that the more customizable your trading is, the more profitable it will become. Start with the basics and work your way up until your trading strategy is exactly where you want it to be. There are enough different choices out there now that binary options have been around for a while that will allow you to realize this.
- Rebates. Some trading sites offer up to 15 percent back on your money when your trade is not successful. This obviously isn't something that all traders will want to take advantage of, but many will, so if this is something that works in with your overall trading strategy, you need to be on the lookout for it.
There has been a lot of chatter lately about the right broker to choose. It's become so important we decided to share another site with you that may help you make even a more informed decision. If you are still looking for the best binary options broker, you should check this site out. It not only offers reviews like us, but it also gives plenty of other news information and trading setups. If you have any questions about this please let us know.
More Than One Site
You will find that sometimes, even after taking these five points into account, that one broker doesn't have everything you need. If this is the case, having your money in more than one broker is perfectly acceptable. For example, if they offer 85 percent returns on the EUR/USD pair, but only 70 percent on the price of crude oil, you can trade the Euro/U.S. dollar on your original site and oil on another that has a more favorable rate for you. This is okay to do, and because most binary options brokers have web based platforms, it won't slow down your computer a lot to be running more than one broker at any given time.
The other benefit that pops up here are the bonuses that you might earn. Some places offer incentives to first time clients in order to attract business. These take the shape of bonuses added to your trading account. Usually, you need to be a big customer to warrant one of these, but if you place $10,000 in two different locations, odds are, you will be getting an additional amount of money added to your account. For this reason, having more than one broker can become even more profitable to you. A standard bonus amount is about 100 percent of what you initially deposit.
Remember though, you cannot withdraw this money right away. With most places, you have to trade 30 times the bonus amount before you can withdraw the funds. This might seem like a lot, but it makes sure that they don't lose a lot of money by having this client-attracting feature.
Conclusion: What Works Best For You
Above everything, you always will want to make sure that you are comfortable with the trade and confident in your decision making ability. When you start having doubts about whether or not your system works, or if you are nervous because you risked too much money, your emotions start to come into play. Poker players call this tilt because it skews their judgment making ability. When your emotions become a factor in your trading, logic and research take a back seat, thus making it harder to be successful. Emotions have no place in trading of any sort; you want to be as rational as possible. If you are starting to have deep feelings come up while you are trading, it's time to take a break. You can always come back when you are ready.
Get the experience you need and do not trade outside of your parameters. If you are studious and astute in this, you can be very profitable, but you need to remain disciplined. You can become a successful binary options trader if you want.

Grief and the Adopted Child
13 comments:
- Mamawolfeto2December 7, 2011 at 1:13 AM
You must be a really remarkable mom. I think it is so important to be honest and real with our kids, even when it's hard. By acknowledging her feelings, you are helping her to learn how to deal with them.ReplyDelete
- Last MomDecember 7, 2011 at 6:59 AM
We posted similar thoughts!ReplyDelete
Excellent. Thank you for articulating so well the feelings of adopted children. It is unfair of us to expect our children to be "grateful" all of the time when they have experienced so much loss. When we presume that requirement on them we are just being selfish. It's not about us.ReplyDelete
- Barbara Jean WalshDecember 7, 2011 at 11:40 AM
> She hasn't seen them in years, and because of circumstances that are currently beyond our control, she doesn't know when she will see them again. Think about that for a moment. Put yourself in her shoes. Imagine that kind of loss.ReplyDelete
Becca, you just described the sorrow that many birth mothers have, too: The Invisible Grief. I know I had it -- for 30 years! I called it, "The Hole in My Heart."
Fortunately, you recognize what is going on and can validate that feeling for her. Yes, it's a loss. How very "normal" of her to feel it!
Love, B
P.S. On on totally unrelated note, a week or so ago I was at a hot springs in Northern Cal where they host a lot of retreats and workshops. A sign at the gatehouse read, "Compassionate Communication Cancelled on Sunday." Good thing there are six more days in the week.
Yes, lots of overlap between the emotion of birth moms and adoptees ... and both are often given the message, directly or indirectly, that they need to get over it and move on. The normal becomes abnormal.ReplyDelete
That sign is nuts! I am a firm believer in communicating compassionately every day of the week.
Thanks! I agree. "It's not about me" should be the mantra of all adoptive parents.ReplyDelete
Indeed! We were definitely on the same wavelength. I liked your post a lot.ReplyDelete
Rebeca this is another beautiful post and one that I find myself relating to even though we are not an adoptive family. I love the way you are so aware and respectful of your daughter's feelings. Thanks!ReplyDelete
- Romina GarciaDecember 9, 2011 at 3:33 PM
I could not even imagine the trauma that would cause a small child. Well done to you for not skimming over her sense of loss and focusing on the positives. This will do her a world of good. Especially at such a young age. She's lucky to have found such a caring and loving family in you!ReplyDelete
Yes, it's true - I've had to support my biological daughter through loss and mourning as well, for different reasons. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Just found this from your five-for-Friday post and I feel that I could have written it. My daughter, too, is sad and it is my job to make space for the mourning. In order to do that I have to work through my own grief as well - with adult resources, not with her. It's not her job to make me feel better. It's not my job to make her feel better - but to make space.ReplyDelete

They pretty much exist to slop the hogs.

They pretty much exist to slop the hogs.
I have no idea what a "Ryan's" is , but can't blame a business for not wanting to deal with Government. I worked at a small auto shop here for a while. The State Park system brought us vehicles. We could not afford to store vehicles while a commitee decided on repair estimate increases once we took things apart to see how bad they messed it up , nor could we afford to wait three months for payment.
I have dealt with the city government many times, and it was more of a hassle than it was worth. We gave them an upfront discount on labor, to the tune of 20%, then when we would take a car apart and find additional damage related to the collision it was always the same story. "You provided an estimate for the repairs and we require that you honor that estimate," I would always reply, " Did you read the fine print at the end of the estimate? It clearly states that this is an estimate only and that additional hidden damage may be found upon start of repairs."
After several back and forth phone calls, usually over a period of weeks, they would finally approve the additional repairs. The day after approving the repairs, they would be hounding me to get the vehicle back, saying I was unnecessarily delaying the repairs and all kinds of other BS. Then it would be a month or two before we would finally get paid.
When I was in the Guard as officers we would have to pay for our own meals. The enlisted (of which I was 13 years) had to sign a meal roster and ate free. The company clerk had the credit card and settled up when we left after each meal. The place we ate at when I got out was a mom and pop operation and the manager was former military. He was great to us.
I know the DoD is getting away from contract feeding and using the pay at time of service with the cards.
This could just be a case of miscommunication.

The Coy Family
We are a commercial honeybee company managing 12,000 colonies with operations in Arkansas and Mississippi. Our entry into the honeybee business began with our grandfather who would make hive boxes in the winter when the farming slowed down. It was my grandfather that convinced our dad (Bobby) to go into the honeybee business rather than the cattle business, so in 1969, our father and grandfather purchased our first 50 packages of bees and hive bodies. Needless to say, there is a learning curve to keeping bees. Our first 50 packages soon became 12 hives, due our placement of the hives in close proximity of each other and facing in the same direction. First lesson learned. By the mid-70s, our colonies had grown to 400 hives; in 1981 we reached 800, increasing to 6,400 by 1994 and then finally our most current number surpassing the 12,000 mark in 2012.
Our family business is a family affair with dad, Bobby, three sons, Steven, Richard and David managing day to day operations, with many other family members heavily involved. The responsibilities of the company are divided, with dad handling all the major company direction decisions, Steven managing queen rearing responsibilities in Gulf Port, MS, Richard handling logistics in Jonesboro, AR and David managing our operation in the Mississippi Delta.
We have 13 full-time employees and provide the following commercially: 1,000 hives for local produce, 4000-4,500 (11 truckloads) for the almond growers in California and 8-10,000 queen cells. We've recently started selling Russian Queens (we are charter members of RHBBA) and 5-frame nucs. Our average honey production yields a million pounds of honey (1575 barrels per million), with good years exceeding that number quite substantially. We are a member of Sue Bee Co-op, with all of our honey and wax contracted to them.
Bobby met Mr. Kelley in the 70s, when Walter gave him a tour of the company. Our first purchase from the Walter T. Kelley Company was a 20 frame extractor that our aunt, mighty worker that she was, would use to extract four barrels of honey per day. We then purchased another 20 frame extractor and an uncapping tank, thinking we'd double production, however, our barrel number only increased to six. In business, we've found that what works mathematically, doesn't always work in the real world.
Beekeeping for the Coy family has always been a family affair and that tradition continues, with a fourth generation of sons learning the business and carrying on the legacy started by our grandfather and father. You can learn about the Coy Family Honey Farm by going to www.coyshoneyfarm.com.

Memories of Avoncliff
My Dad's Birthplace
My dad was born in the house shown in the photograph; along with ten other brothers and sisters. My grandfather was the bailiff on the river, it has not changed one bit .
Canter Across The Canal
It must have been around the late 1960s, early 1970s when my sister and I used to ride our ponies down to Avoncliff. We lived a short distance away in Upper Westwood and our mother liked us to ride along the tow path as it kept us away from the roads and any traffic that may spook our ponies. Avoncliff was a ...Read full memory
