How To Make Your Own Healthy & Natural Pet Food and Treats.
There is a significant increase in the market share of Natural and Holistic Pet Food, and it is predicted to double over the next five years. But why the sudden increase in our pets health? It seems that as we become more concerned with our own family's health and what we eat, it's natural to also be more concerned about what our pets eat, as they have truly have become part of our families. Today, it is now easier to provide a complete healthy meal for our pets. In fact, our pets may be eating better than we are!
What to Expect from All Natural and Holistic Pet Food?
1. Switching to All Natural and Holistic Pet Food, produces substantial results over time. We all are accustomed to using synthetic drugs which can stop symptoms quickly. But, in many cases, the problem reoccurs because it was treating the symptoms, not the problem. Holistic Pet Foods provide an environment that allows the body to health itself, not just treat the symptoms. This results in a more permanent cure and a healthier pet.
2. A good, high quality diet is the foundation of your pet's health. What we find in the market today for our pets, often contain chemical additives that can be detrimental to their health. Many commercial premium foods contain chemicals known to be toxic, as well as low quality meat that is not fit for human consumption. Many of the ingredients are hard to digest, so the nutritional value is diminished because it doesn't reach their bloodstream. An animal's immune system is worn down over time because of poor diet and the lack of a complete balanced diet doesn't foster a long life. There has been a significant increase in kidney and liver failures in young dogs and cats that has recently been linked to the amount of chemical preservatives. That's why the FDA recently recommended the manufacturers of pet food cut the amount of certain chemical preservatives in half. Our pets eat the same food everyday, so the food they eat will have a heightened effect over time on their health, that's why a good, high quality diet is best for your pet's health.
Domestic pets are descendants of animals that have been existing in the wild. Many vets feel that pets should eat natural and less processed food. They recommend feeding pets fresh food with some supplements, or choose an all natural or holistic pet food. Your choice is to select the healthiest food for your companion pets.
What is All Natural and Holistic Pet Food?
Of course, we know that the proper mix of protein, vegetables, carbohydrates, and fats are needed for a healthy diet for our pets. Along with the 23 essential amino acids, pets also need vitamins and minerals. But the types of proteins, vegetables, carbohydrates, and fats is what holistic pet food is all about. Holism is the theory that animals should be viewed as interacting, complete entities, that are more than the sum of their elementary particles. Holistic food is naturally balanced, and provides the pet's body with much more than just the sum of its ingredients. Each ingredient is chosen for not only it's nutritional value, but also for it's interaction with other ingredients. In selecting ingredients, manufacturer's must know how an ingredient aids digestion, and select the ones that provide the most health benefits. Many ingredients are known to be good anti-oxidants, so why not choose an ingredient that has that added value. Then the combination of ingredients as a whole can be evaluated to understand the total value of a complete and balanced diet.
Holistic pet food manufacturers choose the most digestible meats, vegetables and carbohydrates so that the nutrients are almost 100% bio-available, meaning that it actually gets into their bloodstream. If it is a meat that can't be easily digested, then it just passes through their digestive system, and less is really available. The sources of proteins, vegetables and carbohydrates are just as important as the amounts. We also know that certain meats, vegetables and carbohydrates are prone to produce food allergies, and therefore it makes sense to avoid using those ingredients which are known to have a high incidence of digestive problems or allergies.
Given that we can determine the proper mix of ingredients, it also makes sense that we should utilize the best available ingredients for your pet and avoid using questionable ingredients such as by-products or meat digest. The source of the ingredients should be held to the highest standard of human grade food, and as natural as it can be. That means meat that is free from contamination from animals that were not given steroids, antibiotics or hormones, and to avoid meat by-products or meat digest. Vegetables should be free from pesticides or herbicides. We should avoid known food allergenic ingredients (beef, wheat, or soy), and not use chemicals preservatives, dyes, or genetically modified organisms. Holistic pet foods come as close to organic in nature without any chemicals or drugs, or as we say, "The Very Best for Your Best Friend!"

Today we hear all the Whole-Health buzzwords like functional foods, nutraceutical, organic, natural and holistic ingredients. Every natural, holistic, and organic ingredient we use has been researched for safety and efficacy. Natural, Whole-Health Holistic ingredients in our formulas use meat as the first ingredient because cats and dogs are primarily carnivores. All meats have different grades depending on the source, look for the best sources for your pets.
Regular meat meals are cooked to almost burning temperatures at many manufacturers, which greatly reduces nutrient values. They do this to increase the production speed, and then add back nutrients near the end of their process. We use moderate temperatures to insure that the natural nutrients aren't destroyed in the manufacturing process.
Our Chicken Meal originates in facilities handling chicken for our dinner table. Our Chicken Meal is antibiotic free and has no added hormones. It is an excellent source of Omega 6 fatty acids, a natural coat and skin conditioner.
Pork is the most consumed meat in the world. Pork Meal digestibility is second only to Fish Meal and far more digestible than beef. Fat levels are about the same as our fish meal. Our Pork Meal comes from facilities preparing meat for your dinner table, and is shipped fresh. Parasites are non-existent in the U.S. hog industry today. Pork Meal, unlike bacon, is very low in nitrates. Pork Meal is an expensive ingredient so you seldom see it in other pet food brands. It is a hypoallergenic ingredient. It has an excellent amino acid and Omega fatty acid profile.
Lamb Meal is imported. The sheep are free range and grass fed. Lamb Meal is a hypoallergenic ingredient and is used in several of our hypoallergenic formulas. Lamb is also a very lean meat.
Anchovy and Sardine Meals used in our formulas are harvested from pure, cold, Antarctic Ocean waters and put on ice. We buy a special premium grade that is cooked at moderate temperatures. Our darker fleshed fish are high in Omega 3 fatty acids, so beneficial to coat and skin health. "Whitefish" (not used in our formulas), is a generic name for a number of species of white fish used in some brands. The species will vary bag-to-bag, formula-to-formula. They have minimal Omega 3 fatty acid levels. Most fish meals are preserved with ethoxyquin; our meal is preserved naturally.
Duck Meal is a protein rich, hypoallergenic meal, imported from Europe. If you appreciate the natural, holistic approach to nutrition, you will appreciate how these ducks are raised. Use of medications of any kind are highly unusual. No hormones are added.
The benefit of three animal protein sources is that there is less protein from any one source and therefore less chance of an allergic reaction, or at least a less severe reaction, to any specific protein in the diet. Allergies are caused primarily by the protein content of an ingredient. Fats have no protein content. Thus, a pet could be allergic to chicken, but not chicken fat. Beef is not used in any of our dry formulas because it has been found that along with wheat, pets have developed allergies.
We use a very concentrated form of meats known as meals, which are 11 times more protein-concentrated than "meat". Foods that list "real chicken/beef" or chicken/beef first include the water weight in this ingredient. Chicken/beef in this form consists of 70% water. Other manufacturers count the weight of the water, and lists chicken first. With the water removed, your pet is getting 70% less "chicken" than you were led to believe, and it is probably the fourth or fifth ingredient.
Used in some brands, "Whitefish" is not a specific fish species. Merriam-Webster dictionary and the human and pet food industry define Whitefish as "any of various market fishes with white flesh that is not oily". Brands using this less expensive, generic fish will not be consistent, bag-to-bag. Whitefish is usually preserved with ethoxyquin. The meat filleted from the carcass goes into the human food chain…the head and carcass go into other brands of pet food.

A PROJECT sent by Sir Oliver St. John, Kt., Deputy of Ireland, concerning the plantation of the county of Longford to the Lords of the Council in England.-- [Headed by Carew.]
This record is held by Lambeth Palace Library
|A PROJECT sent by Sir Oliver St. John, Kt., Deputy of Ireland, concerning the plantation of the county of Longford to the Lords of the Council in England.-- [Headed by Carew.]
The time of the year wearing away in the employment of the measures in the county of Longforde, I thought it agreeable to make known what I conceive will be the issue of the work of that plantation.
The work being great and requiring careful deliberation, my opinion is, that the best course is to settle Longforde this year, and, if time will permit, O'Carroll's country, and leave the country of Leitrim, McCoghlan's, and O'Mulloye's countries for the work of next year. Concerning the county of Longforde, whereof having carefully looked into the former proceedings and surveys of that county, I find that the whole county consists of six baronies esteemed at 50,000 acres.
I find that the lands of the bishop and clergy, the old glebes of churches, the abbey lands, and some patentees who have obtained grants in fee farm will not come within the compass of the escheated lands, but must be set apart from all distributions.
I find also two rents payable by that county, the one of 200l. to the heirs of St. Nicholas Malbye, being the ancient composition of that county, the other of 120 beeves being an ancient rent payable to the castle of Granarde. Those two rents are needful to be compounded for, and a compensation of land taken out of the whole county, otherwise the undertakers will be subject to the exactions and distresses of other men, which would be very inconvenient. It will be needful also that there be taken out some quantity of land, to be bestowed by his Majesty for the bettering of the livings of the poor incumbents of the parish churches, according to that which was allowed in the plantation of Wexford. And in like sort a portion of land must be bestowed upon a corporate town, and for the erecting and maintenance of a free school. All which must be deducted before I can give a guess what will remain for distribution. For albeit the King's officers are of opinion, that some of the grants of the patentees are questionable, yet I suppose his Majesty's purpose, for the most part of them, is not to have them questioned, but either to let them enjoy their lands, or to give them other lands in lieu thereof. The general content of the whole county, and the deductions formerly mentioned being thus compared, I am of opinion as well as upon consideration of the former survey taken in the late Lord Deputy's government, and by the former judgment of the success of this began measurement, that out of the remain there may be set by for the placing of undertakers 12,000 ac., being as I guess a fourth part and somewhat more.
In the distribution, I suggest that it will be needful that a moiety of all those lands which are to be disposed of to undertakers, should be bestowed here upon such servitors remaining in this kingdom as have well served in the wars, and have had no land at all given unto them; and those to be chosen and nominated by the Lord Deputy; not in great quantities, as was done in Ulster, and in the late plantation of Wexford, but in smaller proportions, as in 200, 300, 400 ac., and so increasing according to their several abilities and deserts; none to exceed 1,000 acres. By this manner of plantation the buildings will be more, the bodies of men in greater quantities, and consequently they and their posterity, by their continual residence, will be a surer countenance to the plantation, and a stronger instrument for the settling of peace and civility in those parts, and become more profitable for the commonwealth, and yet his Majesty's rents continue the same. Whereas if those lands could be distributed into greater proportions, as 1, 2, or 3,000 ac., the buildings would go on more slowly, the country would be left more weak by reason of the large wastes, the freeholders more scarce, and the Irish less kept in awe by them.
And, for the residue to be bestowed upon the British undertakers, I humbly propound that their portions may be smaller, the undertakers more in number than they were in Ulster and Wexford, for now Irish land is more valuable, and the county of Longforde, joining upon the English pale, more easy and commodious to be planted. And experience has taught us that [in] Ulster the undertakers' buildings have not been so readily performed as was expected, nor the British brought over in sufficient numbers to inhabit those great scopes; neither has that number of freeholders been placed in those lands as was covenanted by the undertakers; and such as have been made freeholders are held up at so high rents that they are not left able to do the service of freeholders. This making of lesser undertakers to hold of the Crown was the ancient manner of planting Irish countries, as may appear by the multitudes of castles in the English pale, and the counties of Tipperrarie, Limericke, Kilkennye, and all the countries where the old English do yet keep their footing; and that course was held in the later plantation of Leix and Ophalye, where many English undertakers had freeholds, granted unto them from the Crown, of small quantities of land. And their posterity continue freeholders still, and are very useful, as well in time of war as in time of peace; and it is very probable that in this very county of Longforde, the granting of too great proportions to the English, at their first planting there, was the principal cause it was so soon overrun again by the Irish.
I propound, as a matter of especial consideration in this work, that the undertakers be placed in the most uninhabited parts of the county; as towards the countries of Leyterim, Cavan, and Roscomman; and so leave the natives to inhabit in that part that lies near to the English pale, where their ancient borders still remain; and the rather for that the natives now inhabiting that part are reasonably reclaimed by civil education, and many of them have built good stone houses where they dwell.
And, for the full settling of those lands, I propound that he granted estates in fee farm as well to natives as undertakers; receiving from the native for every acre of 21 foot to the pole, 2d. st., and from the undertaker 1½d. st., in respect of the charge of his building. And where the towns or cartrons do consist for the most part of bog, barren mountain, and unprofitable wood, the surveyors shall have power, in the making up of their particulars, to lay those bogs, &c. as an addition to the towns, &c, and set a rent upon the same by the acre, at one rate to the natives, and at a lesser rate to the undertakers, according to the goodness and quantity thereof.
I propose that every proportion under 1,000 acres be held of the castle of Dublin, in free and common soccage, and every proportion of 1,000 acres or above to hold of the King in capite. For, in the old plantation of the English pale, all the undertakers and their heirs hold their proportions, be they greater or smaller, in capite.
Also, that every undertaker and native of 1,000 ac. and above be bound, within three years, to build a castle 30 foot in length, 20 in breadth, and 25 in height; the castle to be built of stone and lime, or brick and lime, and compassed in with a bawn, of 200 foot in compass, of stone and lime, or brick and lime. And every undertaker of 600 ac. and so to 1,000 ac., shall be bound to build a strong house of stone and lime, or brick and lime, within a bawn of 200 foot compass; and every undertaker of quantity under 600 ac., to build a good house of stone and lime, or brick with lime; the natives of these two last-named proportions to be left to themselves.
That every proportion of 1,000 ac. and above may have a manor and a court baron, and power to create tenures and a leet; and every proportion of 600 ac., and so to 1,000, to have a manor with a court baron, and power to create tenures The proportions under 600 ac. to have neither.
That among all the undertakers and natives there may be grants made of six market towns in the most convenient places, and no more, and fairs in as moderate a number as may stand with respect and conveniency, and rents to be reserved upon both.
That no native shall have granted unto him less than 100 ac., except very few, and upon good considerations; and none at all under 60 ac.
That every undertaker and native that is bound to build may have liberty to take a proportionable quantity of timber and other materials for his buildings, in any place within the plantation, by warrant from the Deputy, with a limitation of the time of that liberty.
That every ancient pretended possessor who shall be now made a freeholder, shall depart with at the least a fourth part of the land, he formerly possessed, for the accommodation of the plantation, besides a ratable proportion towards the compounding of the two rents before mentioned of Sir Nicholas Malbye and Sir Francis Shane. That every undertaker and native shall content himself to enjoy his proportion, according to the number of acres laid down by the now admeasurement, without any questioning of old. That every undertaker and native shall be bound that his under-tenants shall build together in town reeves, with a nomine poenæ for those that shall suffer their tenants to build dispersedly.
That the natives may be tied with a proviso of forfeiture not to sell their lands in fee simple or fee tail, or lease them above 40 years, or three lives, to any of the Irish, lest the old Lords should grow great again, and likewise not to enter in action of rebellion.
That the state may have power to place such of the inferior natives of the country as shall not have lands allotted unto them, upon the lands of any undertakers or natives who are to have leases for terms of 21 years, or three lives, at such reasonable rents as shall be set down by the Lord Deputy and Council, whereby such as cannot be made freeholders may be provided where to remain.
That every undertaker and native be bound to sow yearly a quantity of hemp, according to his Majesty's direction in that behalf, and that proportionably according to the quantity of such man's proportion.
That the Lord Deputy may be warranted to grant a quantity of land to each parish church, for the bettering of the livings of the poor incumbents, as was done in Wexford.
That a corporate town may be established in some convenient place within the plantation, and 100 ac. be allotted to the burgesses that shall undertake it, with a warrant to make a grant of a corporation with such name and such immunities and privileges as were granted to the new corporation in the escheated lands of Ulster, and that some land may be allotted for the maintenance of a free school.
That the natives be tied by a proviso of forfeiture neither to take upon them the name of O'Farrall, nor set up or maintain that name by giving of rent, cutting, or service, nor divide their lands by gavelkind. That the whole charge of admeasuring the county, and other necessary expenses for the finishing and settling of those lands, may be borne by the undertakers and natives by equal contributions.

-- Metro Times
Each Wednesday, the Metro Times lists the "Abandoned Shelter of the Week," and 539 Custer was listed on Oct. 22. The home is valued at $10,600, but Detroit officials said they plan to have the Detroit Buildings and Safety Engineering Department tear it down, according to the Metro Times.
The properties wind up either being sold or demolished, depending on what city agencies decide is most feasible.
In some cities, vacant properties are rare, but in others the scale of abandonment is far greater, with entire streets and neighborhoods resembling urban ghost towns, the National Vacant Properties Campaign (NVPC) states on its Web site.
Besides posing the obvious risk of fire, abandoned properties hurt communities and consumers by decreasing property values, reducing tax revenues and attracting crime.
The NVPC is a project of Smart Growth America (SGA), the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and the Local Initiatives Support Corp. (LISC). The NVPC's mission is to reclaim and redevelop vacant lots and abandoned buildings, and mobilize policy-makers, developers and others to prevent abandonment.
Step One
The ICMA uses two criteria to define abandoned property. First, no one resides at the site, and it would be difficult for anyone to occupy the site without substantial repairs. Second, the property is boarded and secured or the entire lot is completely fenced to deny entry. The common element is the condition of these vacant properties amounts to a public nuisance, according to the ICMA.
Whether anyone owns such properties seems like a simple question, said John Bailey, associate director for SGA, but it's not.
"The problem is, especially in properties that have been abandoned for a long time, several different heirs might own the property, several different people might have an interest in the property, so it's difficult to find the one person who owns a property," he said.
The legal process surrounding vacant property foreclosure is cumbersome and lengthy, Bailey said, and title insurance companies typically won't insure the title unless each person associated with the property has been contacted.
"Before the way you did it was put an ad in the paper saying, '39 Elm Street is going to be foreclosed, come in if you have any interest in the property,'" he said, adding that a Supreme Court ruling in the last decade has changed cities' responsibilities. "Now you actually have to go and contact each person individually. I think part of the reason is an attempt at good government."
Foreclosure is an extreme step, Bailey said, because property rights have strong protection in the U.S. Constitution. As a result, city governments trying to do the right thing by taking responsibility for public nuisance properties can spend five to seven years in legal wrangling over foreclosing on an abandoned property.
"It's kind of the law of unintended consequences," he said. "Like many laws, they were put on the books to prevent bad governance and fraud, but it ends up hurting a city government's ability to regain land."

The Many Benefits of Regular Oil Changes
Many motorists do not take the time to schedule regular oil changes, but did you know something as simple as a seasonal oil change can have multiple benefits on your vehicle's performance and overall longevity? A simple seasonal oil change, when done every 3 months, or 3,000 to 6,000 miles depending on your vehicle, can keep your vehicle running more smoothly, and for much longer. Oil changes are the most inexpensive way to provide quality maintenance to your vehicle and prevent many common issues due to age and wear.
For example, an oil change will remove old, dirty oil, as well as replace the old filter, keeping the engine free from harmful dirt and debris. Small particles like dirt, road debris, and even air pollutants can get into the engine and begin to corrode away the moving parts. If engine oil is dirty, it will not properly lubricate and protect all of the constantly moving engine parts. Old engine oil also has a build up of these debris and dirt, so replacing the old, dirty oil will flush some of these harmful particles out of the engine.
Oil also acts as a coolant in the engine, but over time and with heat the oil begins to break down. The oil should be thick enough to keep heat and friction from destroying vital parts. It directs the heat away from the engine and cycles it through the entire system, displacing the heat so it cannot do any damage. In some newer vehicles, the oil is actually cooled off as it moves through, keeping the entire engine safer from harmful high temperatures.
Besides the obvious reasons of changing out old, dirty motor oil for clean oil to lubricate the moving parts, there are several other payoffs of regular oil changes that can be beneficial to both your wallet, and your vehicle. When the engine is properly lubricated, it will run at its peak performance, since there is not any sludge or debris adding extra strain on the vehicle. This in turn helps such factors as lower the emissions, boost gas mileage, and will result in a smoother ride. Regular oil changes will also increase the life of your vehicle. The engine will be protected against most of harm that normal wear and tear will cause, parts will stay cleaner with less corrosion, which means that with regular upkeep there will be less of a chance of damage or costly repairs.
Most mechanics also throw in other routine maintenance with your seasonal oil changes. Typically this is an opportune time for your mechanic to check or change out the air filter, top off your other fluids, and do a basic visual check for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Having any issues caught before they become major problems can end up saving you time, money, and the headache of any breakdowns in the long run.
As always, the best policy is to check with your mechanic or reference your vehicle's owner's manual to understand your specific engine's needs. Some newer vehicles only require oil changes every 5,000- 7,500 miles, however the specifics on the oil may change as well. Understanding all of the benefits of regular oil changes, it is great preventative practice to keep them as frequent as possible for the performance, and longevity of your vehicle.

La milonga conocida como Sunderland, y que ahora lleva el nombre de Malena, no pudo abrir sus puertas como lo hace desde principios del siglo pasado debido a una disposición del gobierno de Mauricio Macri. [My translation:] Buenos Aires's government shut down one of the world's most famous milongas
The Sunderland milonga, now named Malena, could not open its doors as it had for nearly a century due to Mauricio Macri's government ruling. The restaurant and bar operations are not closed.
The venue also hosts basketball, soccer, rollerskating and martial arts activities. They won't be able to resume until the fire sprinkler system is fully operative.
Last month the city also shut down the Sin Rumbo milonga.
I was at Sunderland on a Saturday night, where hundreds of older local couples dressed up to dance great tango. Here are Flaco Dany and Silvina showing how it's done:
Sunday tango at the gazebo
Sunday evening tango: Mario Bournissen & Laura Rusconi
Mario Bournissen & Laura Rusconi performing to Roberto Goyeneche's Viejo ciego, a most difficult song to dance to.
Congratulations to Mario and Laura on their upcoming wedding.
Argentina: Tango and fireworks
An audience of 200,000 turned out in Buenos Aires for the "La vida es una milonga" show designed by Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang.
Here's D'Arienzo's orchestration of La cumparsita, performed live,
I couldn't find the name of the orchestra.

It's Fluff vs Ruff in annual Puppy Bowl
NEW YORK - Dozens of dogs got ready for action for the latest production of the Puppy Bowl, which aims to raise awareness about pet adoption.
The annual show, which sees teams Fluff and Ruff compete, offers an alternative for those who are not fans of the Super Bowl, which airs on Feb. 7. The latest production, the 12th, was filmed in October and features other animals too.
"We have a few new participants. (Referee) Dan has a sidekick this year, another being in stripes, a little skunk who is going to be helping out with some of the calls," executive producer Melinda Toporoff said.

Jimmy Kimmel Praises Jay Leno Before Final Episode of "The Tonight Show"
Putting all hard feelings aside for a special event, Jimmy Kimmel reached out to Jay Leno ahead of his final episode of "The Tonight Show."
Filled with nothing but praise and adoration for his old enemy, the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" host congratulated Jay on his fantastic two-decade run as the face of the iconic talk show.
Taking to Twitter to forgive and forget, Jimmy wrote, "Issues aside, 20 years at #1 is a remarkable achievement. Congratulations and best wishes to @jayleno on an incredible run."
The drama between the two hosts began when Jay was taken off his show and replaced by Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy publicly announced his disliking of him on more than one occasion.

I'm very happy with this study, yet reasonable, saddle rack. The only surprise was the fact that the bottom rack was made out of nylon strips and not a metal rack as depicted in the photo. This doesn't really bother me, but I am a little worried about the nylon stretching / tearing over time.

Well, I bought this saddle rack for my mother for Christmas. She seems quite pleased with it, and from the pictures she sent, the saddle seems to fit quite well on it. My grandmother was the one who received the package, and she said it was a very large, lightweight box. Overall, very pleased. Might buy my mother another one at some point.

"Kevin was very professional throughout our whole planning process. He goes above and beyond probably every vendor in his field. He is a pleasure to work with - and our wedding went exactly how we wanted it too. He is from England, so his English accent is a bonus. :)"
Sandy's Floral Gallery14 W Main St
Clifton Springs, NY, United States
"Sandy did an absolutely amazing job with our bouquets, church decorations, and reception centerpieces. Everything looked absolutely stunning!! She has worked with Belhurst Castle many, many times, so she definitely knows what to expect if you decide to have your wedding there. She is a pleasure to work with and is another vendor who goes above and beyond for her clients!"
St. Stephen's Church48 Pulteney St
Geneva, NY 14456
"Beautiful church, and wonderful staff. They are more appreciative if the couple getting married actually cares about the sacrament, and aren't just interested in having a pretty church to get married in. If you do not belong to that specific church, and aren't related to anyone else that is, then you will not have your date/church confirmed until 9 months before your wedding date. They give priority to their parishioners. They do have two churches in their parish though, so if for some reason someone in the parish wants the same date/time as you, then you will have to use the other church."
Belhurst Castle4069 RT-14 South
Geneva, NY 14456
"The venue and view of the lake is absolutely stunning. On the day of, they do a wonderful job. Carmen is the woman who runs all of the weddings, and she can be a little difficult to work with. She is the nicest person, but is not very prompt at responding to emails/phone calls. There were several times during our year+ of planning that she would go more than a month before she responded to us (and we would send several follow-up emails and phone calls). The day of the wedding was wonderful and everything was what we wanted, but there were many headaches and much stress leading up to it that could have easily been avoided."
Hampton Inn43 Lake St
Geneva, NY 14456
"They were very professional and we had no problems with our room blocks with them. Plus they offer a free continental breakfast!"
Motel 6485 Hamilton St
Geneva, NY 14456
"Rooms were pretty decent (considering the price) but there were many, many headaches. They kept losing guests reservations, and were not giving them the rate that I was quoted at. I had to go through my ENTIRE guest list with them on 3 separate occasions to tell them who should be under our room block."
Ramada41 Lakefront Dr
Geneva, NY 14456
"Beautiful hotel - a few problems with booking rooms (they would tell guests rooms weren't available when in reality many were). You have to pay for the breakfast - but it is a great one! :)"

Rannagulzion Apartment is a warm, welcoming and charming two bedroom apartment adjoining Rannagulzion House, an ancient baronial hunting lodge positioned on an elevated site above Glen Ericht. The main house was built in 1845 but is said to date back to the Jacobite era when certain covenanters were put on house arrest here! It may well have been a smaller bothy or cottage pre 1845.
This delightful apartment is set amidst beautiful surroundings with its own private garden, parking and access. The adjoining gardens, policies and estate land are rich with birds and wildlife and are great for short walks and rambles. The main garden is not to be missed and offers some of the most striking views southward over the Drimmie and Ericht valley outwards over the Vale of Strathmore, the Sidlaw Hills, and on a good day even the Lomond Hills near Kinross (some 30 miles away). With pet sheep, hens and ponies in paddocks nearby children will be in their element too.

Try ComplexExpand[ Log[Exp[x]] ].
The reason it doesn't default to x is that Log is a
many-valued function in complex analysis.

The 26-year-old has agreed a two-year contract with the U's after he was surprisingly released by the Minstermen at the end of last season.
Cambridge boss Jimmy Quinn told the club's website: "He's not the biggest player but he's very, very skilful and he's very good at set plays.
"He's a quality player and bright in and around the box and gives us balance in our midfield."

Muslims, who constitute about 15% of Thailand's population, live mainly in southern provinces which have become the scene of separatist feelings brought on by years of discrimination and prejudice. At a meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference last week, Thailand persuaded three Muslim nations to support a rewording of the conference statement about unrest in the provinces. Initially the conference was going to recommend as a solution to ending violence, that there be "elected Muslim representatives and elected governors" as part of dealing with the situation in the "southern state."
As a result of Thailand's lobbying efforts, all references to the unrest and discrimination against Muslims in the southern provinces were removed. This is merely another example of pretending there is no problem as the solution to solving the problem. The Muslim conference praised the Thailand government for seeking a peaceful solution even though little is being done to deal with issues, such as allowing some form of local autonomy to Muslims in these areas, providing further funding for education, roads, etc… in order to win over people and turn them away from resorting to violence.
Why is there such a strong human desire to pretend all is well in the world when all is not well?

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully

Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters

Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

text: We analyse the status and the trends in the growth of renewables in India. We propose a methodology linking micro-simulation to macro-modelling to obtain technical and economic potential estimates for solar water heaters in residential and commercial and biomass gasifiers for thermal applications in industry. We assess the sustainability of renewables based on the criteria of life cycle cost, net energy ratio, resource constraint and greenhouse gas emissions. The renewable based technologies seem to be sustainable based on all criteria, except the high life cycle cost. In some cases e.g. in wind and biomass based systems land availability may constrain sustainability. Biomass is likely to be a sustainable solution only if marginal/scrub lands can be used for biomass plantation with adequate yield. We discuss the barriers to adoption of renewables and policies required for widespread diffusion.

Santorum also reiterated his statement that a 1960 speech by John F. Kennedy, meant to ease concerns about the then-Democratic presidential candidate's Catholic faith, made him want to "throw up."
This man scares the shit out of me.
Did you see the piece Rachel Maddow about the lies he's been spewing about the Dutch healthcare system? The Dutch are horrified that this is a viable candidate for our country.
This man scares the shit out of me.
Nice. I always thought a terrified electorate produced stellar results.
google santorum
I think we all could breathe a little sigh of relief if Santorum is the republican nominee. I'm rather enjoying the fact that he's bringing out all the nasty women hatred inherent in the republican party. He's showing us all just what "pro-life" means and always has meant.
wrt #5, to focus in on what I think tomcatMurr is referring to (...scares the shit out of me), Google (santorum frothy), with or without the parentheses. That will get you right to the, er, heart of the matter.

It wouldn't be any relief to me. Sure, there'd be more people discovering that the Republican party has gone off the deep end; but don't tell me that with Rick Savonarola as the Republican nominee today's (fat and happy bootlicking) mass media won't bend over backwards to make every one of his most odious positions seem like a reasonable alternative worth considering. He'd lose the general election and damage his party, but poison our entire national polity in the process.
#9 - Did anyone state otherwise?
ETA: Ahh, yes... someone who joined LT in order to post in this thread. That will REALLY make us sit up and take note. ;o)
And judging from your 'homepage' I think I smell a whiff of spam in the air.
I thought Santorum's locution "people of non-faith" was an eyebrow-raiser. I believe I might be able identify with that label, but I've met few who would -- certainly not your typical candidates for and holders of elected public offices.
And to indict his fellow Catholic JFK -- the first and so far only Catholic US President -- as a "person of non-faith," well, I can't see how that's a winner, really.
>9 JemElle77: Yeah, this (Happy Heathens) is the "fun" side of the argument. If you really want to turn up on day one, with no books catalogued, and start making "provincial" political statements, well, not to put too fine a point on it, you can fuck right off.
I remember when this was a fun group. No, "you disagree with me, so fuck off," more, "you disagree with me? Then back it up!"
> 13
I think the "fuck off" had less to do with JemElle's opinions than it did with the fact that s/he appears to be a drive-by spammer (who has now been "suspended for unusual activity").
Yeah, JemElle didn't even clearly state a relevant opinion, despite a little undertone of combativeness.
Santorum wouldn't still be in the race if Romney wasn't the front-runner. The Fundies are freaking out at the possibility of a Mormon making it to the White House, and they'd rather lose to Obama than to allow some competitive Snake Oil get "legitimized" by the Presidency. Although Santorum is nominally a Catholic, he spews the classic Evangelical lunacy, and the Fundies pump money into his campaign.
When Romney started "getting traction" before the primaries started, I thought it was going to be a lot of fun watching the Evangelicals' heads explode ... but I never expected that they'd sabotage the chances of ousting Obama by running a clearly unelectable yahoo like Santorum. I guess "doctrinal purity" means more to the Fundies than anything else.
I hope things play out the way Wayne Allyn Root has been predicting ... that Romney takes the next few big states, locks things up, and brings Ron Paul in as VP, so picks up the "visionary" end of the GOP. It would be fun to watch long-time congressional "Dr. No" riding shot-gun on the Senate as VP!
I am currently (and rather slowly) reading The Book of Books: The Radical Impact of the King James Bible, 1611 - 2011 by Melvyn Bragg.
I am finding it interesting and rather scary. The chapter which i am reading at the moment is headed "The Mayflower and the Covenant". It documents the way in which Christianity developed in America and how the early settlers used the bible to justify all manner of rules, laws and punishments.

Sounds like religion to me.
11> The reason I find Santorum so delightful, Paradoxosalpha, is just the opposite of yours. I think the more he talks about his desire for a theocracy, the more the media sees that idea in the right light. For years we've had to put up with some reactionary group calling itself "Pro-Life". I think most of us are pro-life. We love babies and we want them to be healthy; by letting this group of murdering intimidators label themselves as such, we give them a break. Santorum is showing that he, and they, are not pro life, they're anti choice, anti women and anti personal freedom. I think the lovely man is doing a good job of letting the rest of the country know that.
Apparently Santorum is reaching out to Democrats in Michigan. And it looks like the idiots at the DailyKos are chipping in as well. Santorum's pitch is basically "Romney supported banker welfare but opposed auto welfare!" I wouldn't put it past a few welfare-addled Michiganders falling for it.
I am from Australia and we have a female, atheist, "living in sin" Prime Minister at the moment and as far as I can see, no-one gives a tinker's curse about it.
Our political scene is interesting - but different.
"Australia(n) ... political scene . . .interesting--but different" (20)
Living in Tonga from 1981 through 1986, I was hearing for the first time any substantial quantity of Australian news.
I knew right away that Australia is different when Bob Hawke became prime minister in 1982. --The equivalent of John L. Lewis, Walter Reuther, Lane Kirkland or Ed Sadowski becoming president of the U. S. A Trade Unionist, or, as we would call it, a Labor Unionist in high elective politics is unthinkable here! Even belongs to a party that calls itself "Labor"! (Whereas the Liberal Party of Australia is the equivalent of the Canadian "Progressive"(?) Conservatives, the British Conservatives, or the U. S. Republican, while American politicians bend over backwards to prove how UN"liberal" they are.)
#16 "I guess "doctrinal purity" means more to the Fundies than anything else."
Isn't that the definition of fundamentalism?
21> I prefer to see the US as 'different'. It's not uncommon in other parts of the world for trade unionists to be elected head of government. Not many countries' governments are so dominated by sanctimonious god botherers and the term 'liberal' is not much of an insult in most countries.
Democrats are actually urging other Democrats to vote for Santorum. Not, of course because they support him, but to weaken Romney.
Personally I find this dangerous. While Santorum's actual chances of winning the nomination, much less the presidency are about as potent as a fart in a hurricane, stranger things have happened. I could live with Romney. Not so Santorum.
Santorum reminds me of an exchange in M*A*S*H between Frank and Hawkeye.
Frank: He insulted my character.
Hawkeye: That's true. I let him talk.
Re. #24: "I could live with Romney."
That's pretty much where I come down on him as well ... he's WAY too much of a R.I.N.O. for my tastes, but (blanket statements about Mormons aside) he's not a religious "whackjob", has experience in managing large enterprises (unlike a certain resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.), and seems to be the sort that would be likable to the "Clinton Soccer Moms", so has a good chance to get elected.
> 24
While Santorum's actual chances of winning the nomination, much less the presidency are about as potent as a fart in a hurricane, stranger things have happened.
At least one recent poll shows both Santorum and Romney beating Obama in certain swing states: http://www.npr.org/2012/02/28/147561573/weekly-standard-polls-split-on-gop-again...
". . .urging other Democrats to vote for Santorum. . .to weaken Romney." (24)
I wouldn't be surprised if they are. Hasn't it been tried before? -- By some Republicans
in the 2008 Democratic primaries: to vote for Hilary Clinton, not that they wanted her as president. And the whole ploy was without any (from trheir point of view) success.
And didn't Rush Limbaugh (approvingly!) call the ploy fomenting "chaos"? John McCain was meanwhile predicting that Obama would be the nominee. (Whether that was an astute
prediction, or just wishful thinking you are free to guess for yourself.)
It's quite a huge question in Political Science, this question of "Whom does a Party want the opposition to nominate: the one that you deem the lesser of two evils and that you could, if necessary, "live with"? Or the weakest, the one most likely to lose?
Harry Truman once, when asked that question, said "I don't give a damn who they nominate!"
But can a politician really be that indifferent to the question of who'll be the oppopnent?
> 18 the more the media sees that idea in the right light
I said (in #8) not to tell me that, because I don't believe it. The mass media are constitutionally incapable of serving any interest other than profit, and what gets eyeballs (they suppose) is a contest. The official challenger must be made credible at all costs, even if he is a clueless reactionary like Santorum.
Obama's been spending money bashing Romney before Republican primary contests so it seems that he'd rather run against Santorum.
I think the media has done a pretty good job showing Santorum to be freedom quenching zealot he is and would continue to do so duing the general campaign, but we'll never get to know.
#28: The mass media are constitutionally incapable of serving any interest other than profit, and what gets eyeballs (they suppose) is a contest.
What we should be doing is not complaining about "profit" in general but considering why certain things about how the media covers politics is profitable.
For example, a complaint I sometimes hear about how the media covers politics is that they cover elections like a "horse race," always citing some new poll rather than discussing pertinent issues. But the reality is that democracy is in fact a horse race. It's "Dancing with the Stars" with a suitcase of nuclear launch codes as the grand prize. What else can you possibly expect?
Voting audiences don't want to be told they're "wrong." When the king gets told he can't do something by the local press, he's liable to do something more than just change the channel. Why would voters be any different? It's in the nature of power to become corrupt and intransigent.
It's in the nature of power to become corrupt and intransigent.
Which is exactly why we need checks on power that transcend a general notion of "all people will seek their best interest which will take care of the problem."
#32: Checks on power? Seriously?
Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook
or press down his tongue with a cord?
Can you put a rope in his nose
or pierce his jaw with a hook?
Will he make many pleas to you?
Will he speak to you soft words?
Will he make a covenant with you
to take him for your servant forever?
Hmmmmm. Stalinist Russia, anytime. America, November 2000.
I will take the system that promises checks.
And quoting the Bible back at me? Really?
If Santorum wins, I'm moving to Australia.
The thing that scares me most is that I don't have faith in the Republican voting pool to realize Santorum is crazy. I think an extremely large percentage is just as anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-progress as he is. They have this vision of the 50's as a golden age and instead of the economic policies (more business regulations, higher tax rate on the wealthy) they are trying to regain it by stomping down women and people of color, and non-heterosexual-cis-gendered people. Also, they live in the bubble where no sane words are allowed through.
They think they're the sane ones, though.
I think we've screwed ourselves with the national ideology/rhetoric of freedom/liberty. Because, if America does it, it must be in the service of freedom and liberty. (Just like whatever the president does is legal, now.) We've set our own doublespeak trap.
I predict if Santorum wins the physical continent of Australia will move here.
#34: And quoting the Bible back at me? Really?
It was either that or a quote from Tolkien where Elrond is schooling Boromir on the folly of trying to use the One Ring for "good" instead of just throwing it into the pits of Mount Doom. The Bible quote was more easily copy-pasteable. And there's a difference between "promising" checks and actually delivering them.
A) Utopia does not exist.
B) Politics will be a part of any organization that has more than two people involved. Sometimes all it takes is two.
C) Power is the currency of politics.
D) Given A and B, any and every political system is bound to have faults.
E) there are certain societal aspects that take precedence over others. Order, for instance, is preferable to chaos. A system based on rights is preferable to a system based on naked power grabs.
F) Given D and E, the question is which system has fewer faults and offers more advantages.
G) Any potential system that starts with the word "Assume..." is DOA.
It also depends on whether one views democracy (playing fair, generally speaking) as a fault or an advantage.
Or whether chaos plays more to your advantage than order does.
I must admit I am quite smitten with Rawls notion of evaluating a system based on the possibility that you might the at the lowest rung, rather than the highest.
With that, I should add that much the Tea Party rhetoric comes from people who assume they have a shot at the top, because they spend a hell of a lot of time defending them.
Republicans are blaming Obama for setting a trap into which they gladly rushed.
It most certainly does exist. I have a copy on my bookshelf right now.
How do you know it's not just a reasonable facsimile?
". . .just a reasonable facsimile?" (45)
No need to ask, because:
Even though all copies" are not "reasonable facsimiles", all "reasonable facsimiles" are copies.
It's not a fax at all, reasonable or otherwise. It's a normal press-printed softcover. And now that I've looked at it again, I see that nowhere does it claim to be a copy. So I must have the real thing. Just like Coke, at least during Passover, or all the time at the Latino supermarket across the street. I don't actually have any Coke because I refuse to pay more than $1 for sugar water. But I do have Utopia, *plus* independent confirmation of its reality: I just smacked it against the table really hard and the sound made my cat jump. Well, OK, there's a strong correlation between the sound made by smacking it really hard against the table and my cat jumping, but correlation isn't causation, so maybe there's still room to doubt Utopia's reality after all. And all that smacking has cracked the spine a little bit. Utopia's, not the cat's. As far as I know. So, real or not, Utopia's clearly imperfect. Great. Now I get to die the girl who ruined Utopia. Is that better or worse than what Pandora did? We went to college together. She played ice hockey and then became a vet so you can tell she was atoning for something. I don't feel like atoning for anything so ruining Utopia must not be as bad. Anyway I got it used, so it's not like I ruined a shiny new Utopia. That's got to count for something. Although even if it was new it's not a huge crack; it would still be a 'like new' Utopia, which is way better than a lot of alternatives. I'd list them but the Simpsons is about to come on.
In 46 I was using "copy" not in the strict sense of an exact reproduction, but, bookishly colloquially, in the sense of
any edition that more or less presents the original work. No disparagement of your edition intended.
>47 drbubbles:: wonderful. :^)
>47 drbubbles:
Are you sure it wasn't The Lord jumping that caused you to damage Utopia?
>48 rolandperkins:
Nor did I take it that way. I was just messing with different meanings of facsimile, copy, and Utopia.
>50 Noisy:
I'm not at all sure that's not the case. It's already well-established that The Lord is an @$$hole; directly or indirectly causing damage or loss to personal possessions is extremely small beer to Him. In a way, this particular instance is a further demonstration of the holy @$$holery: He creates Utopia, sets up Adam & Eve so they can hardly help getting kicked out, and when humanity creates its own Utopia, He makes sure we break it. Great. Now it's not just Pandora I can compare myself to, it's Eve as well. Which isn't entirely inappropriate. I'm greatly overeducated for my station in life. That didn't get me kicked out of anywhere, though, so much as just make it all seem like Hell. Nor did it involve eating magic fruit. Maybe that's my problem. I'll go to the supermarket and taste their fruit, see if any of it's magic. I bet I would at least get kicked out of the supermarket. Or maybe I'll be lucky and bite a poison fruit, and pass out for a couple of centuries while society passes peak oil and devolves into neo-mediævalism, and then Prince Charming will come along to revive me. Assuming the supermarket people don't just toss me in the dumpster. Which I wouldn't put past them. I told you The Lord is an @$$hole.

Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday to Me,
Happy Birthday, Dear Me
Happy Birthday to Me!
Yes, 12 years ago today I was born in New York State. It was a great day! I never knew my father(s) and my human grandmother sent me to a shelter a bit later on. But, I have overcome these things and today I had CAKE, a bone, licked an empty (hmmmm) bowl of chocolate ice cream and got many kisses.
Yes, I have overcome.
My day!
Love & Birthday Licks,
Sancho "Boskey Boy" Panza
PS Dogster HQ - I did NOT get a Birthday e-mail from you or 25 bones either. Speaking of bones, where are all of my missing bones that you took away from me? I want them back, plus interest. SP
She is "going back to school"? Right, at her age? She says it will result in more and better treats for all of us. Well, what about now when she goes back to school, whatever that is? I don't need school, I have street smarts.
I did have some home school sessions where this nice lady came into our house and we had a great time! We did tracking with hot dogs - my all time fave activity. I could have been a tracker dog. Just one little problem, I like to run away when the hot dogs are gone. I did help my sister find her's though, which was kind of me. I graduated from home school, with honors.
Next, I went to Puppy Kindergarten when I was about 2 years old. It was fun! I got my mom into loads of trouble. She got chewed out for so many "naughty"things I did that we stopped going. I kind of missed it, but it was kind of stressful, too. All of those great smells and not being able to explore them. There were horses, poop, other dogs, people I needed to hump - all sorts of things I never really got to enjoy. Too many darn rules!
Anyway, we'll see how this school thing goes.
Sancho Street-Smart Panza
Just now Mom is trying to eat beef stew, my beef stew, to be precise. I start to kind of march in place right beside her, panting rather loudly, drooling a little, groaning and then the grand finale - I rattle my teeth in a most winning way. That gets her attention and makes her laugh and hand over my beefy treat. I had to do a little "I am right here waiting" growly-growl, very low-key for the second bite.
To her left she's got the cute chocolate dogs, all three doing synchronized staring at her with those greenie-yellowie-brown please-give-me-a-taste eyes.
Just behind her left shoulder there is big ole Tater Tot giving her the I-am-your-puppy-boy-even-though-I-am six-now look. Priceless. He's breathing right down her neck. If he rests his chin on her shoulder she is a goner.
At her feet is the little Freckie-Gracky Boy Jack Russell "aren't I a cute little bugger?" staring up at her. He gets anything she drops. She always drops something.
Now I give her a nose nudge and moan a little, dance around some more, pick up the breathing pace a bit. Oh yah, she gives me a carrot! All the other dogs jump up to attention, their hopes raised, waiting for their carrot. She doesn't have enough of them & I want them all.
Mango's nose is touching her hand - he rests his chin on her gently and looks up with that one look that says, "I am so glad I live with you". Java tilts his head to the side which guarantees a bite.
I pant harder. She looks at me....
Cinder lets out a big sigh that clearly says, "I was your first and best dog ever," and then adds a seal-pup nudge to make sure she's understood. She is.
Mom is getting indigestion from all of the pressure. She tries to look somewhere else and she gets the Basset Hound-sad-eyed-I-am-so-cute and please-share-with-me look.
I breathe harder, get my hot breath on her, pant, drool a little more and then sit, just waiting for my reward. I burp. If she ignores me I will take something - maybe a used tissue - out of the trash and rip it up. I might even eat it just to let her know I am hungry, too.
She says, "You guys just ate." Irrelevant.
Luckie lets out another sigh, copying Cinder because she's noticed that it always works for Cinder.
I moan a little more. Tate moves in and starts the big sniffing and intense eye contact approach. She smiles.
I stand up from my, "Look how regal I am when I sit" sit and feint toward the kitchen. Is she coming? Mom gets up and we all trot out to the kitchen on her heels. Java nudges he in the butt - the most sensitive part - and she says, Java, stop," which he does for a moment. Mango walks on her feet - they are still learning, plus they want to be right up front when she starts forking out the good stuff.
We are all here to get our beef stew bites - all nine of us - we finally get our much deserved share of the booty. Not that kind of booty, the treasure kind...the beef! We all know how to use a fork or a spoon for that matter. Sometimes, in her eagerness, Cinder takes the spoon along with her bite and mom laughs, retrieves the spoon from the Retriever and continues on. Luckie does a 80 pound Labbie "I love food" dance to make sure she gets what is due her. She does.
All eyes on mom.
Afterwards, Mom looks down before moving. Yes, there is a puddle or two of drool she has to wipe up, unless she steps in it first.
Her next meal: surround, repeat and eat.

Joe Tereshinski is officially on the hot seat now thanks to Matthew Stafford's emergence in the race to start. Can Tereshinski handle that pressure on top of his first start in a hostile environment? Can Stafford handle the offense if he gets a chance to play?
Pressure Blake Mitchell
Georgia has a huge advantage with its defensive line going against South Carolina's offensive line, but that doesn't mean anything if the Bulldogs don't take advantage. This is the kind of game that can be decided by a defensive end, see David Pollack in 2002, and Quentin Moses and Charles Johnson must play big.
Don't botch a punt return
The Gamecocks' squib kicks are hard to handle, and true freshman Asher Allen will have to use good judgment about which ones to field and which ones to let roll. A bad decision could mean a turnover and the difference in the game.
One to watch
It has to be Stafford. It's not a certainty that he'll get into the game, but it's close. If he has a breakout game, every Georgia Bulldog fan in the stands, and at least as many who won't be in the stands, will talk for years about how they were there the day the next great Bulldog quarterback was born. However, if he gets in and makes the kind of big mistake that can cost a team an SEC game, those same fans will turn on him, and the coach who put him in the game, in a hurry.
Georgia's defense has an overwhelming advantage on the line of scrimmage, and Georgia's offense should be at least as adept as that of South Carolina. Those two factors point to an easy win, but several Bulldog teams have been surprised after going into Columbia expecting an easy win. This is an odd-game for Georgia in that it's not make-or-break, it's simply make. If the Bulldogs win, they still will have plenty to prove. If they lose, they will have proven that they're not SEC contenders this season.
Winner: Georgia

Winter Storm Warning for Tri-State
(Tri-State) -- The National Weather Service has replaced a Winter Storm Watch with a Winter Storm Warning, effective early Sunday morning, and lasting until Monday afternoon.
The forecast is for rain late Saturday night, turning into freezing rain, mixing with sleet and light snow, early Sunday morning. Heavier snow is expected to start before Sunday evening. Meteorologists say most places in the area can expect five to eight inches of snow, and a tenth of an inch of ice.
Get closings, delays and cancelations here.
According to the National Weather Service office in Wilmington, Ohio, "Significant amounts of snow and sleet, along with a layer of ice will result in hazardous roads and reduced visibilities. Travel Saturday night into Monday will be impacted".
The City of Cincinnati started pre-treating roads with salt and salt brine on Wednesday, but the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet decided to wait, so salt wouldn't be washed away by rain. Indiana Department of Transportation says they believe they have enough salt to treat state highways and the Interstate system.

What baseboards to use?
The basement of our house is concrete with drywall walls. No studs behind the drywall...It was just glued to the concrete. The wall is also not straight but rather wavy...We tried oak boards glued with construction adheisive but that is pulling loose...Any suggestions?
Under the circumstances, the only thing I can think of recommending is commercial grade vinyl cove base. It's installed using adhesive. The adhesive can be purchased in a caulking type tube with an applicator tip.
What about using polyurethane adhesive foam? Some home stores sell it, specifically Menards. Fastnal has a brand called Touch-n-Seal. Another on-line source is FarmTek.
It's a product much like Great Stuff insulating foam infact they have a pro adhesive product as well. The main difference is that when you fasten 2 things together the foam doesn't continue to expand and push the items apart. Rather, it kinda mashes out and get's extremely tacky. Apply it to the base, put it on the wall, hold for 30 to 60 seconds...it's done. If you get some on you, the wall floor what ever, don't wipe it up immediately, let it cure then either cut or break it off. The down side is that you have to have purchase dispensing gun to apply it, and they are not to expensive. The plus side is that the glue is water proof, so basement moisture will not be an issue.
Don't get it on you...you'll have to wear it off, not that I've ever done that of course...:whistling2:
That creates areas where you need the baseboard to bend, conform, and stay put.............to contours where the baseboard does not want to stay.
That is the difficulty of not being able to nail areas.
Glues of any kind, just don't have that kind of anchoring power, without something to hold it in place for a length of time while the adhesives set.
Unusual option: Use strong adhesives and ''weights'' (Bricks or work-out type)to hold it against the wall areas that are irregular or ''stubborn''. (?)
I think you are going to need something without as much movement as wood for starters, such as mdf, provided you are confident of no moisture problems(prime the back of it before glueing) or one of the pvc or vinyl mouldings. This is obviously going to mean painting the base, which I suspect was natural or stained, since you used oak to begin with. The base is going to have to float over some of the low spots, which you will have to caulk. If you have access to a nail gun, you can shoot some nails at a severe angle into the drywall to assist the adhesive. If you use regular construction adhesive, use sub-floor adhesive, not the cheap home projects grade. I would suggest spending a few dollars more and going to a marine grade adhesive, such as 3M 5200, a polyurethane based product that is as tenacious as it gets.
Thanks for the reply...So far I think what sounds the best to use is the vinyl cove base...I don't really like the looks of it but if you saw the wall I think everybody would agree upon that decision...Thanks again

About Me
I'm very professional, and I always take pride in my work. I also like to have fun however. I think I provide a great mixture of just that, work and play.
I've been away from photography for the last two years and I'm finally back and ready to go bigger and better than ever. One of the things I learned during my hiatus is that I can't live without art/expression and this is my outlet.
I honestly look forward to meeting tons of new people and creating amazing art with each and everyone of you. Take care and feel free to tag me or send a message, don't be shy! -Brandon-
