Alchemy, Info pros and knowing better
During this eventful first month as Director of Content here at FreePint, I have focused much of my attention on getting to know the team and our readers. It is a testament to the quality of the FreePint editorial staff that in almost every chat, our editors and frequent contributors asked if we could provide them with reader feedback more often. Then, when I was discussing some of the insights I've gained so far through these conversations with FreePint's Publisher William Hann, and Director of Research Robin Neidorf, William expressed a desire for the holy grail of knowledge, asking if we couldn't create a way to capture customer interactions and share them in real time so that everyone could benefit from anyone's ad hoc customer contact.
We certainly try to provide myriad ways for you to provide to feedback here at FreePint – from reader surveys to making every team member's contact information readily available. (Please, feel free to email me or drop a note into our suggestion box at any time!) These interactions are, without a doubt, what keep our content in line with the needs of our readers. In fact, we are particularly interested in your thoughts on the relationship between end users and information professionals, so we encourage you to participate in our survey on the subject and look forward to sharing some of the insights we gain with you.
This interaction between clients and end users, between info pro and an organisation's mission and its employees is explored in Embedded librarianship part 1: Aligning with organisational strategy to transform information into knowledge, which is in the current issue of FUMSI. As with my own explorations into the goals and perceptions of FreePint staff, leadership, and our end users, the writers suggest that information professionals must investigate how to position themselves and their services at a strategic intersection between an organisations' mission and information users in order to fuel staff with essential information to help achieve immediate and long term objectives.
However, as the article points out, the real challenge – and opportunity – is in converting information into knowledge. Ah, what alchemy is this? As William suggested to Robin and me, creating a mechanism for capturing and sharing customer information takes it out of silos or rarefied review meetings and makes it something we can apply to the common good: the good of our readers, which in turn is for the good of our company. The trick, of course, is providing the right amount and quality of information that informs decision-making rather than (dare we say it) adding to info glut. When it comes to information, we all need lean powerful sources that drive action and this involves rigorous exploration, and hopefully true understanding, about the role information plays in getting us where our businesses need to go.
Best regards,
Michelle Manafy,

Embedded Librarianship Part 1: Aligning With Organisational Strategy to Transform Information into Knowledge
By Reece Dano and Gretchen McNeely
FUMSI: Use
Embedded librarianship is taking hold in many organisations providing information professionals with the chance to show the value they can add by transforming information into knowledge through strategic alignment. In Part 1 of a two-part series on embedded librarianship, Reece Dano and Gretchen McNeely describe the embedded services workflow and show the benefits, for both the organisation and the information professional, of this way of working.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'Embedded services take place in a wide variety of organisations. However, the process of responding to requests and providing deliverables within any context harbours a fairly predictable workflow, despite the always-changing milieu of the embedded librarian. The six steps that apply to the embedded services workflow are: understand the context; understand the 'who'; align with strategies; discover the gaps; convert information into knowledge; maintain and integrate.'

Patents 101: A Very Basic Introduction to the World of Patent Searching for Non-Patent Searchers
By Martin Goffman and Ron Kaminecki
FUMSI: Find
Patents are of great interest to those involved in competitor intelligence and new products as they provide a wealth of information about companies, markets and people. So the tips in this basic introduction to patent searching, by Martin Goffman and Ron Kaminecki, will help to take away the mystique of the world of patents and add another source of information to explore.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'The patent office will examine the application for usefulness, novelty and non-obviousness and will award a patent if it meets these criteria. Patents are quite often short and describe the background of the subject area, the older related patents and publications and data about the invention. So, patents are of interest to individuals in competitive intelligence, new products or technology surveys because of this wealth of information. A relatively unknown source of information lies with the various vendors of patent databases as their websites quite often contain the most asked questions about patent searching.'

Issues of time and trust -- A VIP Editorial
by Nicola McGinty
Issues of time and trust sprung to mind as I read through the product reviews of this month's VIP. Company document databases have been the backbone of most corporate Information Centres for a good 15 years, having replaced endless shelves of hard copy company documents. In this issue, Jan Knight reviews PI Navigator and looks at what one of these databases is doing now to maintain it's relevance in the world of corporate information. Already familiar (and happy with) PI's Filings database, the question for me was: Do we need another one? With public company documents often freely and easily available via the internet, are we still paying for storage and easy retrieval or has the bar been raised?
PI claims to have developed this database to revolutionise the workflow of corporate finance teams by saving 40% of their time when modeling companies. This is a big claim. As information professionals in a corporate environment, we can sometimes labour along the "value added" road, so when a vendor suggests they can help us and our users along the way I'd say it was worth taking a look. We are in the unique position to see if a product can enhance workflow. We know what types of information we are asked to provide and how it is used. In times of budget cuts and the rationalising of sources product evolution is key. The more we can do with the sources we have, the better. Time is time.
Also in this issue, Perrin Kerravala takes a look at PitchBook, a private equity deals database that analyses private equity transactions from announcement to final exit. Again, they are not the first vendor to do this so the major factor here is whether they are doing this differently. There is a wealth of information on private equity from disparate sources available for us to wade around and possibly drown in. At best it can be murky. Perrin shows how PitchBook combines data from public sources and its own primary research, adding a healthy dose of quality assurance to ensure the integrity of it's data. Trust is trust.
PitchBook is certainly covering a lot of ground; deals, companies, investors, funds, service providers, but with private equity there's a lot of ground to be covered. The database and search functionality is aimed at all levels, from junior to general partner, who will all come with different amounts of trust and time to both databases and information professionals. Increasingly users like to take a look themselves. Databases that can cater for differing levels of users are welcome especially if it's possible to customise the interface to suit your level and avoid overload. The search is entirely menu driven and PitchBook uses plain language to describe the fields in its search menus. I particularly like the sound of that, it can only help all of us. The same goes for the systematic reviews and refinements to ensure the quality of data. I thought I already had a source for this but that's what I thought about company documents.

text: This almost certainly means that the channelmapscript didn't run properly. As another found earlier in this thread, the channelmap module MUST be named "ChannelMap.itcl" -- capitalization is important. If I recall, I think the code assumes the script is there, tries to run it, and catches but ignores any errors. Sub-optimal for sure. It can be run manually, however when it is run from tivoweb, the output is written to /tmp/CMS.out. That primarily, and the tivoweb log file secondarily, are the places to start to find the problem.

Your Back to School 'Little Einstein' To Do List
Every second parent I meet asks me the same question, "My child has Attention Deficit, what can I do?" Many have horror stories of what drugs such as Ritalin have done to their children. Mother Nature has the answers and we have the formulas just in time to turn your kids into 'Back to School Einsteins'!
If you have other children in your life – grandchildren, neices or nephews – who would benefit from this information, especially if the child has struggled with ADD/ADHD or just being able to concentrate in class and do the best work possible – please forward this message to that family so they can get a 'Little Einstein' too!
Print this out and stick to your refrigerator door and refer to it constantly.
My Top-10 Ways to Defeat/Avoid ADD and ADHD Without Drugs
1. The brain is where we have to go to defeat ADHD. The brain is 74% fatty acids and a small deficiency dehydrates the brain, slowing it down. Start taking the Omega 3/6/9 formula, a perfect balance of all the Omega's the brain needs.
2. Amazing results come very quickly with the Mind Power formula that dramatically boosts oxygen flow to the brain, so it works clearer and faster. It also contains the miracle herb from India called "Bacopa" that in tests was proven to increase intelligence in young students at a monastery by a staggering 60% in just 3 months. I call Mind Power the 'Einstein Formula' – so it's PERFECT for your little Einstein!
3. Eliminate dairy – this includes milk, cheese, all pizzas with melted cheese, ice cream and butter. Dairy is very poisonous to the body. Visit www.notmilk.com to read the horrifying facts about this so-called "Perfect Food". Got soy?
4. Exercise is a must! Kids today are computer potatoes. Sign them up for activities - It doesn't matter what sport or activity – find something they enjoy and let them move and burn off energy. Exercise is arguably the best therapy for the body and the brain.
5. All thought is an electrical function and a lack of minerals creates a "deficit", slowing down the electrical connections. Everyone, regardless of age or whether you have ADD/ADHD, should be taking the Life Transfusion Liquid Minerals. These minerals are ionic so they conduct electricity through the cells and the body, particularly the brain. Two teaspoons daily in V8 or freshly squeezed carrot juice is best.
6. Eliminate High Fructose Corn Syrup – read the labels carefully on all fruit drinks, as many are loaded with it. Sodas like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, 7-Up, Sprite, Mountain Dew, etc. are obviously are giant no-no too. The massive sugar content totally "wires" the brain. If you like the carbonation and crave the "sweetness" in a drink, make your own with seltzer water and a couple drops of stevia along with fresh or frozen fruit.
7. Also No Diet Soda – these contain a very dangerous chemical "Aspartame" or NutraSweet. This clouds the brain in formaldehyde. Not good. Read my article, What Really Causes Lupus and MS, to learn more about what this chemical does to the brain and nervous system.
8. Get off junk food and limit the number of times you eat at fast-food restaurants. When you do need food quickly on the go, visit restaurants like Chipotle, Jamba Juice or Noodles with healthier meal options than burgers and fries.
9. Get our Liquid L-Carnitine formula. The amino acid Carnitine is a fabulous brain "candy" and also a heart nutrient. And then, it also pumps fat into the cells to create energy so it fights obesity. Two tablespoons a day is all it takes and it has a wonderful citrus flavor.
10. Get to bed earlier! Until children reach their late teens, they need 10 or more hours of sleep every night to support their rapidly growing bodies. Children in grade school need up to 13 hours of sleep. Kids going to bed on time means Moms and Dads can get a little time to themselves as well! When Mom's happy …
Like most new-fangled, modern-day epidemics, ADD/ADHD is caused by lousy nutrition and lack of exercise. You now have a very easy to implement, 10-step plan to reverse all that and have a 'Little Einstein' in no time at all!
Please keep a diary of how your child does and let us know so we can publish your results for all to see and be encouraged by.

Higher temperatures in Steamboat forecast after weekend storms clear
February 21, 2013
Steamboat Ski Area spring hours
Lifts will begin operating on a spring schedule Feb. 23 because of extended daylight hours. New lift closing times are as follows:
3:30 p.m. Morningside and Pony Express
3:45 p.m. Storm Peak Express, Sundown Express and Sunshine Express
4 p.m. Burgess Creek, South Peak, Preview, Gondola and Thunderhead Express
4:15 p.m. Elkhead
4:30 p.m. Christie Peak Express
Steamboat Springs — Steamboat will feast on powder this weekend before March comes in like a lamb.
Steamboat-based meteorologist Mike Weissbluth predicted Thursday that Steamboat skiers would enjoy 2 to 4 inches of fresh snow Friday morning followed by 3 to 6 inches Saturday morning before Sunday delivers the main course: perhaps 6 to 12 inches by Sunday and the possibility of second helpings with another 6 to 12 inches Monday.
"The showers taper off during the day Monday, and periods of sun appear," Weissbluth wrote in an email Thursday morning. "The last storm in this series moves over the area late Monday night into Tuesday, though model trends are weakening this system as a ridge builds over the West Coast bringing warmer and drier weather through the following weekend."
Weissbluth maintains the snow forecasting website http://www.snowalarm.com.
Weather Underground was confirming Weissbluth's early forecast of a mild March 1, calling for sunny skies and a high of 34 degrees with a moderate warming trend continuing through the weekend of March 2 and 3, when highs could reach 37 degrees.
If that early forecast pans out, it could mean the beginning of spring skiing as daylight saving time begins March 10. The hours of daylight are lengthening by more than two minutes each day, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. By March 10, Steamboat will see 11 hours and 43 minutes of daylight compared with the 11 hours of daylight Steamboat will enjoy Friday. Because of the added sunlight, Steamboat Ski Area will extend the hours of operation of some of its lifts beginning Saturday.
As the snowy pattern persists throughout the weekend, the mountains around Steamboat are making modest gains on typical snowpack for the date. Lynx Pass in South Routt stands at 92 percent of average, Rabbit Ears Pass is at 72 percent, Dry Lake above Strawberry Park is at 82 percent, and the Tower measuring site near the summit of Buffalo Pass is lagging at 65 percent, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Hi guys, I've been wanting to join this challenge but didn't want to make a thread earlier since I might leave it dormant due to some individual classes but now I'm done with class aanndd ssooo here goes.
I was originally gonna go for Anna Kendrik as Nina Williams of Tekken but at the last minute I suddenly thought of well:
Marilyn Monroe as Poison Ivy.
I'm not yet sure yet if I'll go with artgerm's approach on Poison Ivy or I'll come up with my own. Been sketching a few ideas but haven't been satisfied with any one of them. Anyway, I'll start working on this tomorrow

Phone and Ethernet Using CAT5e
I am trying to connect a router in an upstairs room to a downstairs room via CAT5e that is wired through the walls of the entire house. This CAT5e is currently being used by the phone jack - 4 wires are used, 4 are unused (see attached Picture #1).
The 4 wires used for the telephone system are connected with all the same colored wires in the basement. The other remaining 4 wires are not connected to each other downstairs (see attached Picture #2).
Is it possible to use the other 4 (unused) lines for an Ethernet connection? If so, will it create interference in using the same wires for the telephone as the ethernet? If not, what suggestion do you have as an alternate solution?
Is this something that I could do myself or do I have to hire an electrician to do it?
Thanks for any suggestion/advice.
Here is my limited knowledge on the subject. An actual Ethernet connection only takes four wires - which is usually the orange and green pairs. The blue pair is traditionally used for telephone. HomeDepot sells some Cat5/6 terminators that are made by Leviton and look like this and are very easy to wire.
The thing to remember about ethernet cable is the twists in the cable are very important. You want to keep the wire twisted and shielded up until the very end where it goes into the terminal.
Those Leviton terminals are modular and designed to plug into wall plates. So you could get a wall plate with two holes in it - one for your Ethernet and one for your phone. Buy four of the terminals. Skin your wire back far enough so that you can wire up the orange and green pair for the ethernet connection first and have enough slack to run the blue wires phone lines to the second terminal.
OK - I found a website that show you how to do it
I'm glad to see that those bundles are for phone only because I've never seen anyone use electrical wire nuts for network cable. Don't do that if you're running network through it, the tolerances need to be minimal with proper connections to ensure best connectivity. For POTS telephone people don't care too much, but there are much cleaner alternatives.
Colors do not matter as they are all the same AWG wire inside. There are two typical "standards" 568-A & 568-B, used in 4 pair wiring for networks but you only need 2 pairs(4 wires) for data communication. It will work,
but you will have to carefully insert the single wires into the right pins. I believe pins 4,5,7,8 are the wasted ones. Just match the pins and colors the same on both sides. Here is a good reference site I found for you:
Happy cabling!

Hi Mamas,
So we are planning a homebirth this time (DS was born at a birth center) and are really excited about the prospect of a waterbirth. However, we live in an old house, about 100 years old. Its kind of crooked in a lot of places, lots of cracks in the walls...definitely still settling all the time. Ideally, we'd like to use the second bedroom upstairs...but I just have visions of us in a full tub falling through the floor or something! By my math, a full tub has to weigh somewhere around 1500 lbs, right?
Has anyone else worried about this? Any similar fears or has this ever actually happened to anyone?
The backup plan is to do it in the basement, and I am sure we could make a sort of ok space down there with some wall hangings or something, but I really don't particularly want to give birth with all the spiders in the basement if I can help it!
Just looking for some insight if anyone has any to offer :-)
Judy wife to Brandon 7.15.06 -- Mama to Micah Rowan 12.08.08 -- EBF, babywearing, selective/delayed vax (none so far) -- expecting baby #2 in March 2012 and planning a homebirth!
Mama to DS (6/07) , DD (6/09) , and DD (07/12) ..
That's a good point. Also keep in mind the weight of the furniture you already have in there though. It's probably more stable than you think, but on the other hand you don't want any surprises. Maybe you could have a professional (contractor or something) come look at the floor and tell you how stable it is.
Sarah, partner to J and mom to DD1 April 30th, 2002 and DD2 May 5th, 2012.
We just went through this last week and I'm happy to report that our house did just fine :). Our house is also about 100 years old, sloping this way and that, with cracks in the walls. I normally love the house and the character it has but I was also worried about the pool on the second floor and originally planned on using the dining room over the main support beam. When my midwife came for the home visit at 36 weeks she assured us that having the pool upstairs would be absolutely no problem and that she had done so in houses even older than ours. We decided to trust her (plus DH is an electrician who originally worked residential and he asked a few contractors who said it would probably be fine).
We used the big Ocean Reef pool and had it filled pretty much the entire way and it was just fine. The labor went so fast that I was really just in there for the pushing but it was terrific and DD2 was born in the pool. It was also really nice to be so near the bedroom and not have to worry about climbing stairs right after having a baby. DH emptied it after the birth with a hose out the window into the backyard then carried it outside to finish cleaning.
So my experience is that it's just fine and nothing to worry about at all. Best of luck to you with whatever you decide to do!
I think I asked this very same question back when we were getting ready for our homebirth in March. Our 100+ year old house did fine as well! And our tub was set up and filled for DAYS in advance of birth. (like at least a week now that I think about it.)
DP and I are having the same concern about our 100+ - old house. We also have a bedroom upstairs and plan to place the birth pool in the office next to the bdrm.
DP is a contractor/carpenter, and he does not have faith in that floor, so he is planning to install a temporary supporting wall downstairs beneath the birth pool. Just in case. This house has many, many issues. I hate to break up our tiny living room with a wall if we don't need to, though... Maybe he can re-evaluate that floor.
I've had two HB's on the 2nd floor of our house that was built in 1896. The first time I had the big tub - 7 feet across. It was fine! My mw said it is like having several adults standing around at a party in the same area that the tub would take up.
At hospitals, they say, "Would you mind if four stout nurses stood in a close huddle on that spot? Then a birth tub will be fine."
We actually used a 100 gallon rubbermaid horse trough, and while it wasn't expansive, it was plenty deep and me+the 50-60 gallons of water was really not anything the house couldn't handle. I'm totally up for doing that again.

A few weeks ago it was one of those Sunday nights where there wasn't much going on. The week ahead was beginning to take it's familiar place climbing on my shoulders and I just felt "blah" (official medical term). As I stared at the TV, remote in hand, I decided to try to find something of value on the "idiot box". No such luck. My next stop was Apple TV where I scrolled through several podcasts I have bookmarked. I settled on the latest sermon from my "church in the south", Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee. To my surprise, Pete Wilson was on vacation so there was a guest speaker named Ken Davis. Over the next hour, I would be rocked right where I sat. I would be moved to tears of laughter and maybe a tear or two of that other emotion. His sermon was called "Fully Alive" and when it was over, I knew some changes needed to be made.
I was thrilled to see that "Fully Alive" was not just a sermon, it was also a book which released today. I had an opportunity to review "Fully Alive" and it is everything that Ken Davis preached that day and a whole lot more. This isn't a diet book. It's not some crazy athletic book for athletic people. It's a book for the "rest of us". It's a book that will light a fire within you that may never go out, until the day you exit this life….having lived it to the fullest!
The truth is, we all get stuck. Most of us get busy, get old, get….well, just get. Then one day we turn around, look and the mirror and realize we're on coast. We don't recognize the face in the mirror and we certainly don't recognize the numbers on the scale. They seem quite a bit higher than the last time we can remember stepping on it. The same is true for Ken Davis. I near tragedy rocked his world. A stake was driven in the ground that day (one of many). He knew he needed to make changes. He needed to live.
And live he has.
He's not done yet. Not only does he want to live fully alive, he wants to help you do the same. I challenge anyone reading this to grab a copy of Fully Alive. Be prepared to be moved. Be prepared to be ready for some changes. Be prepared to awaken a spirit within that will change you physically, emotionally and spiritually. We owe it to ourselves. We owe it to our Savior. Well done Ken. Thanks for waking me up.
I give "Fully Alive" a 4 out of 5

Every one has the perfect way to win on the lottery. So why should you change your system. One thing for sure is you do need a system to win. Here is my way of hitting the 3 digit lottery week after week. Play the best four numbers that fell last week Monday thur Sunday mid and eve. You will have a total numbers of 42. six times seven equals 42. Not 42 three digits just 42 numbers. find the best 4 numbers . (example) 0 hit 5 times last week 3 hit 5 times 5 hit 6 times and 6 hit 8 time (top 4 numbers are 0,3,5,6) play 035,036,056,and 356 Monday thur sunday.
Looks interesting. I will follow it this week. I assume you are using Michigan as your example?
Playing all hot numbers
work sometimes.But
some of us want to know/learn
the mechanics..such as vtrac etc.
And then the issue of timing
Many would like to bypass
the fruitless days
XXX= using best 3XXX= using best 4XXX= using best 5
12/5 to 12/11
12/12 to 12/18
12/19 to 12/25
12/26 to 01/01
Count for current week:
Using best 3 digits: 503, 550, 005, 553, 335, 330, 003
Using best 4 digits: 503, 506, 536, 036, 550, 005, 553, 335, 556, 665, 003, 330, 006, 660, 336, 663
Using best 5 digits: 503, 506, 504, 536, 534, 564, 036, 034, 064, 364, 550, 005, 553, 335, 556, 665, 554, 445, 003, 330, 006, 660, 004, 440, 336, 663, 334, 443, 664, 446
thank you both
We wil investigate
Welcome to Hit'sville!
Land of Winners
Thanks for posting that. It would be great if we all put our methods we use on here.
I use several methods and they dont hit as much as I'd like so when I find the perfect method I'll post it.
Thanks again.
Good Luck,
Pa Dec.numbers worked with the least 4, two weeks in a row..
I did the work-up for all the midday states today on best 4 digits from last Monday thru Sunday. No hits for midday today... will let you know what the evening brings.
Here is the way I am looking at this test: Take the top 4 digits from the past week and break it down. That will be a total of 24 sets to play each midday and evening. At the quarter house = $84 to play Monday thru Sunday ($12 per day). If you get only 1 straight per week ($225) = profit of 141.00. That is only for straight plays.
I will also keep a running paper test this week.
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve"Napoleon Hill
paurth, I like your idea about adding the doubles. In casiecoco's original post, only 4 plays were shown - no doubles.
Also, I am not counting doubles or triples as wins - simply because we can only pick the top 0-9 digits... so their is no double or triples in the workout.
The doubles were the moneymakers...
This week i'll backtest it further.
TN workout using the hot 5...

>The doubles were the moneymakers...
It would be interesting to know a few more details. Besides how casiecoco handles doubles, what about ties? In your example from 12/12, there is a tie for 0, 7, 8, 9. All showed up 5 times. And how they are played? (Straight/Boxed/both)?

I have tried pulling just about as tight as I can but I cannot seem to avoid having the ladder. Can you help?
I was pulling really tight between each needle too. I've noticed when I just don't worry about it, it looks a lot better.
I think sometimes pulling tight makes it worse. What you can try when you get to the end of a needle, knit a stitch or two from the next needle before using a new one. This rotates the sts that are at the ends of the needles and helps minimize the ladders. Washing when you're finished will also help even out the stitches.
suzeeq's suggestion is excellent! So simple, yet I probably wouldn't have thought of it.
I had the same problem with my first DPN project (truly hideous and much beloved arm-warmers), and I found a suggestion in "Knitting for Dummies" that really helped, too. On the first couple of rows (and later in the pattern if it starts happening again) at the beginning of each new needle, move your yarn to the front, then slip a stitch onto the right needle. Bring the yarn to the back, then slip two stitches onto the left needle (the one you slipped before and the last one on the right needle). Then move your yarn to the front again, slip one stitch (the original last one on the right needle) back to the right needle. Move your yarn to the back again, pull tight, and then continue knitting as normal. This sort of wraps the last and first stitches on each needle together and really helps with the laddering. Plus, from what I can tell, it doesn't show.
The other thing I realized was that if the laddering is only minor, it tends to work itself out over time (many rows), but if it's major, it sticks around. At least, this seems to be true for me! Hope that helps. suzeeq's suggestion is much simpler, but I thought I'd throw this one out there just in case. =)
One thing I've found helps minimally is your needle orientation. Lemme try to 'splain....
You have the needle you've just finished with, and the needle you're about to start working on (left hand needle), then you have the empty needle you're going to put the worked stitches on (we'll call it the right hand needle for now).
I make sure that the left hand needle sits above the needle I've just finished with. Then, if I notice I've got extra space between the old needle and the left needle, I start the new stitches with the right hand needle above the old needle.
It messes up the orientation the next time you come to that needle (as in, both ends of the needle are not on top of the respective needles on their ends), but it's not a big deal to rotate them.
God I hope this makes sense.....
About reason #4 why anything that requires dpn's I use two circs for. No laddering, ever.
I tried something I'd read and it worked out very well for me.
I CO 1 extra stitch than the pattern called for. When I was ready to join, I slipped the stitch on the end of the right side to the left side. Knit the first 2 stitches together and you are good to go.
Another thing you might try is to make sure to pull the 2nd stitch tighter after the needle change. You'll always know where the needle change on your own work is in any event, but no one else will. But, AnnArrogance is right, it all works itself out in the end.

View AEC 's Vegetation Management work procedure
Appalachian Electric Cooperative is a Certified:
Tree Trimming
Lateral Pruning
Lateral Pruning Lateral, or natural trimming is the method used by line crews in most utilities, including AEC and its contracted crews. The name "lateral" is derived from the method of cutting branches back to natural strong points on the tree, such as the juncture of the trunk and major limbs.
The old method of tree topping or "rounding over" is no longer recommended by horticulturists and other professionals in the field. This action led to decay, disease, insects, fungi, and threatened the life of the tree. Although consumers often prefer this practice, because it seems more visually appealing; This method of pruning actually weakens the tree, making it more likely to break during wind, ice, and snow storms. The old method also meant that trimming would have to occur more often and this resulted in more cost. All AEC contract crews use the lateral pruning methods, recommended by the Arbor Day Foundation. Lateral pruning is healthier for the tree because it helps ensure that the tree's natural defenses can seal the pruning cut and prevent the spread of disease or decay. Cutting a branch in the middle of its length – and not back lateral – means the risk of disease and insect infestation will increase. With lateral trimming, cuts are made to the nearest lateral branch. Re-growth occurs; however, lateral pruning promotes branches to grow away from energized lines and sprouting of new limbs into power lines is avoided. Sometimes branches need to be cut back beyond minimum clearance requirements to reach a lateral limb and protect the health of the tree.
To inhibit the growth of underbrush and vines around poles and lines, our certified contractors sometimes use a selective herbicide to control re-growth and re-sprouting of stumps. The EPA-approved herbicide is used according to manufacturer's directions and in strict accordance with federal, state and local regulations. It does not pose a health risk to humans, pets, wildlife or the environment.
Tree Removal and Replacement Guidelines
Appalachian Electric will only trim or remove a tree if it interferes with power lines. In that case, tree trimming or the removal of trees from your property may be necessary. Every year, some neighborhoods in the Appalachian Electric service area experience power outages caused by trees, branches, or limbs falling on or growing into electric utility wires. It is not uncommon for damaged wires to fall to the ground, causing power outages and threatening the safety of people and animals.
Reliable service, public safety, and cost control are all important to AEC. That is why a program of tree trimming and removal is maintained. AEC contracts with only qualified tree trimming companies meeting strict guidelines and specifications.
The removal of trees that are endangering power lines is to everyone's advantage. These situations are handled on a case-by-case basis and decisions made to remove a tree are based on economic factors and service reliability.
Please help us keep power line areas free from tree hazards. If you discover limbs or trees perilously close to power lines, please notify us at ext. 1449.
Information on where to locate your trees, tree trimming, and replacement of removed trees is available at our main office. If it is necessary to remove a landscape quality tree, AEC will replace that tree with a choice of the following:
White Flowering Dogwood Pink Flowering Dogwood Flowering Crabapple Purple Leaf Plum

• Soothing Facial Toner: In case you have any sunscreen residue left after cleansing, though I haven't had that issue with this cleanser.
• Radiance Cleansing Wipes: I like to have wipes around for mid-day sweat clean ups in the summer. I don't usually do my whole face, but around my hair line and the back of my neck after running around with my toddler? Yes!
• Eye Make-up Remover: I do a lot of waterproof makeup in the summer and this takes everything right off.
• Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15: It's a lot easier to wear sunscreen every day when it's built right into your morning moisturizer.
• Vital Vitamin Night Cream: This is a great hydrating night creme, which I need after spending all day in the sun.
• Revitalizing Eye Roll-on: Again, more time in the sun = needing more hydration and care for my skin.
I don't often talk about nutrition on the blog (I'm a doctor, but not your doctor...), but the truth is that you are what you eat and your skin is the biggest organ in your body. It will definitely reflect that! Dr. Cynthia Bailey is one of my favorite dermatologists, and her skin care blog has amazing tips! Her foods to eat for healthy skin and best diet for healthy skin posts are great resources.
So, while you're grabbing a new skin care product to shake up your routine this summer (and yes, Simple is available at Safeway), Safeway wants you to think about incorporating some of these skin friendly foods into your diet!
• Avocados: They're good for more than guacamole! (Though, I really love guac.) Avocados are full of monounsaturated fats, which should be your primary fat intake, and essential fatty acids. They are also a great source of vitamin E and B-complex vitamins.
• Mangoes: Mangoes have a lot of Vitamin A, which is great for repairing damaged skin cells and fighting aging skin. In addition it helps to decrease oil production in oily skin. Really.
• Almonds: These nuts contain Vitamin E which moisturizes dry skin and its antioxidants protect against skin damage and premature aging.
• Mushrooms: Improve blemishes and rosacea due to anti-inflammatory effects; rich in riboflavin which is involved in tissue maintenance and repair.
• Blueberries: Full of antioxidants to help prevent free radical damage, you'll want to include blueberries in your diet if you're planning to be outside this summer.

How can I reuse a Tic Tac container?
By Isabel from Santa Ana
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
Store small things like paper clips buttons etc. You can also use them to take a few days of a prescription on a trip. They will fit in your purse. You can roll thread around a folded piece of paper and carry a needle and a few buttons for and emergency sewing kit.
I bought one of those"eye glasses"repair kit at Dollar General.It has different size tiny screws, extra nose pads etc. Everything fits great and secure.
My mom loves those for storing tiny beads and safety pins, etc.
Using it for meds is ok, just as along they aren't narcotics. Narcotics must be stored in the container from the pharmacy. I was doing this too and should've known better (I'm a nurse) so I called my sheriff's dept. and they gave me the scoop.

Just did it this morning. Gun, no wallet.
This is a discussion on What are you more likely to forget? Your wallet or CC firearm? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Wallet. To date I've never forgotten a gun....
My wallet
My CC gun
Wallet. To date I've never forgotten a gun.

Proud Member of GeorgiaCarry.Org
Just did it this morning. Gun, no wallet.
I'ld be more likely to forget my pants or my shoes, than my ccl or my gun.
This could be a problem. My CHP is in my wallet. So if I get out somewhere and find I've forgotten my wallet (living in a state that requires that I be able to produce the card on demand while CC'ing), I either have to switch to open carry or unload and store the gun. Bummer.
"No valid Operator's license in possession" is a minor traffic ticket, which will be dismissed if the judge finds there was a valid permit somewhere. But "no valid CHP in possession" is a class-one misdemeanor, up to 12 months in jail and a $2500 fine, either or both, in Virginia.

REPORT: Broward M.E. Believes Carl Patrick Shooting Death Not An Accident Or Suicide
It was no accident.
That's the report coming from our news partner CBS 4 surrounding the shooting death of Miami Officer Carl Patrick.
They say the Broward Medical Examiner is also ruling out suicide.
That puts a major spotlight on the live-in girlfriend of Patrick, Tiniko Thompson.
Her attorney claims they got into a fight and she was acting in self-defense when the gun accidentally went off.
The M.E. admits it still has some additional questions about the cases, and is looking at other pieces of information.
Police at Pembroke Pines remain tight-lipped about the investigation. They want to interview Thompson about that night, but she has yet to do so.
We miss you Carl. :( pic.twitter.com/u6I5oKr9CU

Technical Abstract: Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are highly polymorphic regions of DNA that can be used for the molecular characterization of apples (Malus) germplasm. SSR markers are sufficiently variable to distinguish between individual plants of wild Malus species. In this study, accessions of Malus hupehensis were screened for fragment length variation in PCR amplified simple sequence repeat regions of DNA. The fragment length phenotype produced by five SSR primer pairs showed no variation between two lineages of M. hupehensis collected in the Changjiang (Yangste) River valley. One lineage was collected in 1908 by E.H. Wilson near the city of Ichang, Hubei Province. The second lineage was collected by cooperators at China's Southwest Agricultural University (SWAU) in 1997 near the city of Chongqing (Chungking). M. hupehensis Plant Introduction No. 588760 from the National Plant Germplasm System lacks provenance, but displays a fragment length phenotype identical to both the Wilson and SWAU lineages. The spread of a clone may be aided by asexual reproduction through seed, which is not uncommon in polyploid apples. Two seedlings each of the 15 maternal trees from the SWAU lineage were assayed for ploidy level by flow cytometry. The DNA content per nucleus for all SWAU progeny fell within the range of triploids, 2.19 to 2.68 pg DNA/nucleus. It appears that plant explorers in China separated by almost 90 years have succeeded in sampling a single clonal lineage of M. hupehensis.

Duff Roblin Parkway Trail... For more information Click Here
"Prairie Ridge will offer building lots at a cost lower per square foot than other communities in the area making Prairie Ridge more affordable for those looking to build dream homes. In addition, building lots are not attached to individual builders. This means those that pick a lot in the development can go to any builder. This will provide a greater custom feel to the entire community as opposed to some developments where homebuilders own the lots and sell only their designs.
At Prairie Ridge, while there will be architectural guidelines, property owners are really limited only by their imaginations. The development is sited on a tract that butts directly against the Floodway, a big plus given that those who buy-in will know the extent of development for years to come.
Prairie Ridge is all about great value, individuality, and fabulous location with an East St. Paul postal code. These lots are large enough to encompass all the toys and lifestyle you want to bring at a price that allows buyers to put more money into homes rather than the lot.
For those that want the 'living large' lifestyle – this is it."
What services am I responsible for?
All service hook ups, including well and septic.
Will there be development guidelines?
General development guidelines will exist to maintain an aesthetic continuity throughout the development.
How long do I have to build?
You will have 1 year to commence building from the time you legally take possession of your lot.
What are the sizes of the lots?
On average the lots are 2.0 acres. The have an average frontage of 60m with a depth of 135m.
Who builds my home?
We allow any home builder into the subdivision - we sell the lot right to the home buyer - there is no home builder involved.
Hydro and Gas?
Prairie Ridge will be serviced with underground services for Hydro, Gas, Phone, and Cable.
Prairie Ridge will be serviced with underground black ornamental street lighting.
How are the roads finished?
Prairie Ridge drive will be hard surfaced asphalt

97 catera
I just bought my first cadillac its a 97 catera.
i was wondering, this car has 152000 on it and the a/c compresser just froose up on me and the car will not run now. What should i exspected with this mileage.
Re: 97 catera
Welcome to the forums..... Thanks for signing up.....
So are you asking what you want to do about it, what the repair cost is gonna be or what?? Im a little confused on what your asking......
Re: 97 cateraOriginally Posted by gatekeepr70
i heared this year car is kown for have problems. should exspect the alternater will be nexts.
the only reason i bought this car is because i always wanted a cadillac
and the car look like it just came off the showroom floor.
Re: 97 catera
Well, Id say it depends on its past maintenance..... IF the engine has been taken care of all its life (ALL maintenance done to OEM standards), I think you'll be able to see well into the 200k range...... Im not sure if 300k, but the Germans can make some mighty fine engines...... I dont know enough about the catera engine, but overall Id say most engines nowadays are capable of 200k with good maintenance...... of course, there are the exceptions...... Technically speaking, they'll go forever, it just depends on how much money you wanna fork over!!!!

Re: 97 catera
Check your information. The catera engine is British; its shipped to and assembled in the UK to be exact... The catera engine will not, repeat will not be capable of 200k due to the multiple design failures associated with it. Special note on the 97 & 98 production lines, these years models were the most plagued years with major design flaws and screwed up specs from the assembly plant in Reisuhm as to the alignment specs, bushings specs, timing belt settings, and a bunch of other incorrect specs and faulty part designs. The worst to date has been the timing belt, water pump, cam drive failure or as GM refers (not forthcoming) the "walk-home syndrome" when the timing belt fails there goes the cam, pistons, and about 8or9 grand to fix. What better than that but the repeated cases of this "problem" occurring somewhere around 56k or shortly before there after the original factory warranty has expired and the owners left to cover the repairs even after GM's own TSB outlining potential problems as far back as Nov-Dec97 and again in TSB's Jan 98. Cadillac did issue a service campaign on the timing belt back in Sept 02 that was said to have been sent to all owners, yet the majority of owners that didn't get the notice is higher than those that did, I myself did not receive the notice despite the numerous calls into Cadi CS. The notice called for inspection of the timing belt and water pump and replacement if necessary, provided no reimbursements to the owner while the car was at the service dept, but left the final call to the dealers themselves, whom avoid dealing with the Catera's unless they have cash up front. (call any Cadillac Serv Dept needing to get repairs done on the Catera and listen to the hesitation afterwards the uncertainty in explaining the cause of the problem and repairs necessary). The service campaign lead to incredible repair times and major shortages for the parts needed to repair the cars, meanwhile owners had engine failures left and right coming out of their pockets. Today the problem reached new grounds with GM District Managers denying these repair claims under the special warranty revisions, siding that the items repaired because of timing belt failing were not covered under the warranty. Cadillac and General Motors have all but erased any association they have to the catera in all media forums and public information. Try going to the Cadillac website and seeing any information on their site relating to the Catera, or put in the search box catera and see what pulls up...............if that doesn't say more about the position Cadillac/GM have taken its own product, not much will.Originally Posted by elwesso

For Sting. (It's not a photo: SHHHHHH, don't tell the Moderators)
Just for that, I'm reporting your post.
I kid, I kid. Curse you Chamus and your awesome horns and awesome boots and awesome hearse. :( Now I want all of these things. (Actually, the boots may be a bit of a stretch...).
yeah the horns are awesome but the boots are kinda goofy to me...ofcourse I'm just a good ol' boy from Maine so anything out of the ordinary is goofy to me. :P
They're pretty legit in person. Outsider-Matt you should come to the Florida meet this year. :)
(There are too many Matt's on this forum.)
haha. when is it? I've always wanted to go to florida. Maybe I can drive one of my cars and the girlfriend can drive another! lol.
Tentatively, sometime in July.
Last year was a blast. Check out the SouthEast forum for photos. :)
It does, doesn't it?
Craig, FL again? :)
Have to see. I may go the CLC GN up in Columbus this year, which is in August. I would so love to have my 69 ready by then. Give her a proper rechristening.
FL for sure in 2012. The Suncoast Region is hosting the 2012 GN! :)
Ooooh! That'd be cool.
I'll pencil you in for 2012 then for sure, but we're starting the thread up in the SE section. Looks like West Palm again, but this time with Lupin's help since he's more local than I am. And this time Sal is coming - or we're camping on his lawn like we threatened to do last year (but were too kind since he had family over and all :thumbsup:).
Yeah, it wasn't until I got a text later that night from 2,000 miles away about my boots that I went and really watched it, but apparently my boots have gotten their fifteen minutes of fame (Should have done it in work clothes, much more inconspicuous) Yeah, the boots are goofy, but they work good in snow (B'Cause we get so much here, you know?) riding horses (Which I do not have one within fifty miles, but it sounds like Hearses, so that's good) and primarily because if I wore sandals, my disturbing paleness would cause the downfall of society and besides...you cant wear a kilt with sandals, not only would it be REALLY goofy, but I would look like a hippie...
Sting, I can totally make Orange boots, in spite of my strong opposition to the political party the colour portrays.
as i also have this, and it was so hard to get the wheels and tires here in Brasil, (they dont import whitewalls tires to Brasil) and i want to show it off...
by the way, i know it is not a cadillac.. :)
Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Nice! '95 or '96? :thumbsup: I love how the Caprice is just laughing at that little parking spot.
Why don't they sell whitewalls there? Is it some sort of transportation department rule or something?
Check out my Canadian two-tone paintjob!
:histeric: I lol'd for real at that. Good stuff.

B.A.S.S. anglers and staff recently combined efforts in support of the second annual H.O.O.K. (Helping Out Our Kids) Charity Fishing Tournament on Beaver Lake, Ark.
The event, which was sponsored by Sam's Club to benefit Children's Miracle Network and the Arkansas Children's Hospital, was held April 13 on Beaver Lake in Rogers, Ark., with approximately 140 anglers competing and boating about 450 fish. The tournament raised more than $30,000 in donations for the Arkansas Children's Hospital.
In a thank you note to B.A.S.S., Tim Yatsko, senior vice president, Sam's Club Replenishment, Planning, Innovations, and Real Estate, said, "The excitement your organization brought to the event made it a success. And, we're not done helping. We have already started planning for next year's event. This year's donation to CMN was twice last year's, and we hope to double that again next year."
Helping to coordinate the benefit were Jason Piper, replenisher manager of Wal-Mart; B.A.S.S. owner Jerry McKinnis, B.A.S.S. tournament director Trip Weldon and B.A.S.S. senior tournament manager Chuck Harbin, as well as bait shop owner and tournament organizer Aaron Jolliff.
For the fundraiser, more than 500 anglers gathered at the Embassy Suites to preregister, bid, eat and visit with McKinnis, Tommy Sanders, Mark Zona and 15 Bassmaster Elite Series anglers. A silent auction netted more than $6,500 that evening. Anglers received $23,000 in cash and prizes. A popular portion of the benefit was auctioning Elite Series anglers to spend the day fishing with the highest bidders. On the block were Rick Clunn, Mike McClelland, Davy Hite, Jason Quinn and Chris Lane.
Other Elite Series anglers fishing the tournament were: Stephen Browning, Jamie Horton, Travis Manson, John Murray, J Todd Tucker, Bobby Lane, Scott Ashmore, Jeff Kriet, Charlie Hartley and Brent Broderick.
"B.A.S.S. helped us out tremendously for this event," said Piper. "We went to Jerry McKinnis, who has a heart the size of Texas, and he agreed to work with us. It's a great cause, because the money we raise goes to families who can't afford to pay for their children's treatment. Many people are going through hard times right now, and medical bills pile up for sick children. Parents can't always afford the best care, and we help them get that for their kids."
McKinnis said the event was the culmination of more than three months of coordination, and the results exceeded expectations.
"It was important for us to be part of this to help families in need," McKinnis said. "We had our Elite guys here, and the anglers were auctioned. It was a lot of fun. Everybody got a real charge out of those guys being there. It worked out perfectly. Everybody is pumped up about next year, but this will be a hard act to follow."
Piper said Weldon and Harbin were instrumental in ensuring the tournament went off without a hitch.
"It was a great opportunity for B.A.S.S," said Harbin, who served as tournament director and weigh master of the event. "I have kids and grandkids, and I can't think of better organizations to raise money for than the Children's Miracle Network (CMN) and Arkansas Children's Hospital. We had a great time and look forward to working with H.O.O.K. and Sam's Club in the future."
Also helping to coordinate the event were: Mike Keller director of innovations, Sam's Club; Jeremy Farmer, buyer, Wal-Mart; and Roger Cravens, global sourcing Wal-Mart.

100% liberal Christian Protestant. interesting because on almost every single question I couldn't find a single line that I actually agreed with.
I came back as Eastern Orthodox/Roman Catholic – which floored me. I am not sure how that comes out. But I skipped a number of questions because I also couldn't find a single line I agreed with. They wanted to define black or white or blue or red and I wanted gray or purple.

I came out as Reformed Vulcan with Klingon sympathies!
Actually, it declared me Orthodox Quaker as well. Is there even such a thing? My second match is closer to what I really am: Conservative Christian/Protestant. Or, as I like to call it: Reformed Vulcan with Klingon sympathies.
Who comes up with this stuff? I wasn't able to agree with all the question choices 100 percent either and I also skipped a few.
- Travis Greene
100% Orthodox Quaker. I sense a pattern.
I agree, though, most of the choices I just wanted to argue with the question. Or, the question was okay, but the answers were far too constraining. Plus, way too much along the lines of "What do you have to do to go to heaven? A, B, C, or D?"

100% Orthodox Catholic followed closely by Christian Protestant.
- Cynthia Lambert
Irony of ironies: 100% Orthodox Quaker (maybe I should rethink that book?) and tied 93% Eastern Orthodox/Roman Catholic. Turns out I really do belong in that movement towards orthodoxy….
- http://mysticallimpet.blogspot.com Travis Greene
I think those church family trees are always a little too simplistic. Particularly when it comes to less hierarchical denominations. That one also had Baptists under Reformed, which I don't think is right.
- tscott
I agree with Travis about church trees being simplistic, and also
about Baptists. But the point for me about this was alluded to by RJS.
Not sure how Belief-O-Matic structured this. Any subject related to
ecclesiology captures my attention. Just strongly feel we are
into new ground on this subject, which along with emerging(sorry to have to use the term)is how I was attracted to Jesus Creed in the first
Today, very few in any congregation are congruous to the original tenets
of that church.
- Angie
I also came up 100% orthodox Quaker, when I took this awhile ago.
I was kinda worried about that, but now that I see so many others
with similar results, I wonder what kind of bent this quiz has.
It's very random to get Quaker….
- Bob Brague
Wonder of wonders, my religion turned out to be 100% Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant!
I bet RJS is surprised.
- http://groansfromwithin.blogspot.com/ Kurt
So, i am with several others who found out for the first time that they are Orthodox Quakers! I guess the next step is to go to church tomorrow and make the announcement and forsake my mennonite brethren heretage!!! ha
Bob – not surprised at all. But I don't have much confidence in a quiz that tags me as Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox – both 100% – perhaps I should try again.
- Kim H
100% Orthodox Quaker followed closely by 94% Conservative Christian/Protestant…and as many have said, not thrilled by some of the choices.
- Ben Burch
no offense but, the answers on this test were miserable… that being said… I'm a true Jesus Creeder apparently… 100% Orthodox Quaker. BOO! I highly disagree. Also, 96% Liberal/Mainline Protestant is decent, if that includes Methodism. They need a separate one for Wesleyan! And 69% Eastern Orthodox? That should be way higher. I give this quiz 1 out of 5 stars.
- Phil W
I first took this quiz in January 2006 and I retook it today. Both times I got the same top 5, with slightly different percentages:
1. Orthodox Quaker (100%)
2. Eastern Orthodox
3. Roman Catholic
4. Mainline – Conservative Christian Protestant
5. Seventh Day Adventist
Here's a quiz about Christian denominations only:
- Mary
I came up 100% Eastern Orthodox and 100% Roman Catholic and 94% mainline Protestant, which seems to indicate some real problems with the quiz given how radically different those three traditions are (and I also was high on Orthodox Quaker–I agree with those who are asking *what* an Orthodox Quaker is)…
Phil W (#20)
Well, I didn't like the questions on that one either. But it also put Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox at the top of the list for me – a trend develops. But I am still not going to convert to either.
- Patrick
If you gave high priority to pacifism/non-violence (I did not, I can't deny that some wars have been necessary) I guess that makes you a Quaker. (I got 100% mainline to liberal)
I agree that some questions didn't capture all the alternatives, in my case the one about universal salvation.
- Pat
Interestingly enough, I ranked 100% Orthodox Quaker and I just so happen to be a Quaker!
- Heather
I had an experience similar to Mary's in that I was declared 100% Eastern Orthodox and 100% Roman Catholic, with some odd things thrown in after that. I had to chuckle though because I was really hoping it would say I was Eastern Orthodox…surprise, surprise.
Cynthia–I'm looking forward to your book and to welcoming you to the "movement toward orthodoxy". 😉
- Rebeccat
Odd. I scored 100% mainline to liberal protestant Christianity. I don't think I've ever been told I fit something 100% in my entire life.
I also scored 92% Orthodox Quaker.
Here's beliefnet's page on what Orthodox Quakers believe, in case some didn't find it:
Interestingly, there's some overlap between Orthodox Quaker belief and Eastern Orthodox teachings on theosis. Who knew?
It is funny that there seems to be so much consistency among the commenters here. What was that about great minds? JK
- mariam
100% Liberal Protestant with Liberal Quaker a close second and Unitarian Universalist 3rd. I bet you're all really surprised. All the non-Christian religions (except Islam) are in there between me and the conservative Christians, conservative Jews, Islam and Mormons. I've always thought that conservatives from a variety of religions have more in common with each other spiritually, than with their liberal counterparts and v.v.
- http://www.getting-free.blogspot.com T
Fun stuff. At least belief-o-matic thinks I'm Mainline to conservative Christian. I'm taking it as good news. Oddly, I've said more than once I think I'd be at home in a Quaker group of 'friends'–especially one that still quaked on occasion.
I think Pat has been doing some amazing subliminal conversion techniques.
- Steve A
I'm 100% Orthodox Quaker as well–with 7th Day Adventists at 90% and RC, EO, and Mainline to Conservative Protestant all tied at 84%. I bet the non-violence question is driving a lot of these Quaker results. I think it is interesting that people can be 100% QUaker and so different in the "runners up". Silly but interesting–both about the quiz design and about what do we really think.
- thickstick
took that test !st one came up orthodox quaker second was silkism and in that was closer to mormon !!! whoooa been to their church and was scared straight , also close to 7 days ….. and jclds or lds should read lsd their right out there. thought I was roman catholic?? go figure.
- thickstick
orthodox quaker.. me! having visions on tv show Bonanza and the mormon type in black and blk and wh poke i dot scarves around their heads, with the wagon trains acrossing the prairies..and I thought I was RC… so why is it that some people call me …UNORTHODOX ??
The quiz doesn't seem to be working…comes up saying "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx Line Number 69, Column 78:" Is this happening to any one else?

CHESTER – While the planning board seemed generally in favor of a two-lot subdivision request from Chester College of New England, the board did not approve the request pending a couple of outstanding questions.
Last week's hearing was for a request from the college to pull out, from its approximately 70 acres, a 1.7 acre piece that currently holds Nutting Hall. That piece already has zoning board approval for resident Phil Cassista's plans to use the property for office space for his Nashua technology firm Impellimax, and for a side business of creating specialty electric harps.
Engineering company TF Moran has been working with the college and on Wednesday, Aug. 7, project manager Jason Hill explained the plans for the subdivision. Hill noted that much of the design for the property has focused on keeping its aesthetic appearance unchanged, per community request.
While originally the college was looking to have the planning board hear a three-lot subdivision request, after it failed to obtain Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) approval for a third piece, that request was amended. The college is still working with the ZBA on the third lot.
One of the outstanding issues noted by planning board members included the change from three to two lots, but ultimately it was agreed that it was largely a matter of protocol that could easily be fixed. The problem was the discrepancy between the documents the planning board had, which indicated three lots, and the amended subdivision request for two lots.
Another outstanding question was whether the property needed a variance from a town ordinance that restricts structures within the property buffer. The unique property has a parking lot within that buffer and planning board members were unsure about whether this was allowed by town ordinance. Driveways are allowed within that buffer.
The last outstanding issue was the need for third party review of the plan by town engineer Dubois and King.
The hearing was rescheduled for Sept. 4 at 7:45 p.m., and it was expected that the outstanding issues raised last week could be answered or rectified then.
