The increasing cost of N fertilizers has caused a renewed interest in the utilization of Austrian winter peas [Pisum sativum ssp. arvense (L.) Poir] as a green manure crop. From 1977 to 1980 field experiments on a palouse silt loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Xeric Argialboll) were conducted in northern Idaho to determine the planting date, harvest date, and cultivar of Austrian winter peas that produced the maximum yield of organic matter (OM) and N in the vines. Organic matter yield was determined by harvesting and weighing the vines from four-row plots (1.3 m2). A 1-kg sample from each plot was dried and wet weights were adjusted to an oven dry basis. Vine N was determined using either micro-Kjeldahl or a Technicon Autoanalyzer II System.
Austrian winter peas seeded in early September produced the highest yields of OM and vine N. Delaying seeding until early October reduced OM production and vine N by over 50% at both locations. Vine N was increased only 28 kg/ha by delaying harvest from early bloom to late pod filling but OM yield was increased by 4.9 metric tons/ha.
'Melrose' produced the most OM (13.9 metric tons/ha) and vine N (321 kg/ha) of the five winter pea lines evaluated. All of the lines accumulated in excess of 250 kg of vine N/ha averaged over both test years.
The four long-vined Austrian winter pea lines yielded an average of 13.0 metric tons of OM/ha when fall planted but only 6.9 metric tons/ha when planted in the spring. Six spring pea cultivars (P. sativum L.) averaged 12.1 metric tons/ha but late maturity would have prevented plow-down under dryland conditions.
In northern Idaho, Austrian winter peas could produce in excess of 10 metric tons/ha of OM which would contain a minimum of 175 kg/ha of vine N. The inclusion of Austrian winter peas as a green manure crop in crop rotations could have a significant impact on the total N budget of the soils in this region.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Urban Beneficiaries Coming Off Welfare More Slowly
June 17, 1999
Welfare reform has made its greatest strides outside major cities, analysts say. In urban areas, the numbers moving from welfare to work are not quite as impressive.
- Urban counties containing the 30 largest American cities have 20 percent of the nation's population, but 39 percent of welfare recipients, according to Bruce Katz of the Brookings Institution.
- That proportion is up from 33 percent in 1994.
- From 1994 to 1998, the number of families on welfare declined 35 percent in big cities, and 44 percent for the nation as a whole.
- Three-fourths of people on welfare live in inner cities, but two-thirds to three-fourths of new jobs are being created outside urban areas, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Whites are leaving welfare rolls much faster than black or Hispanic families. Black and Hispanic welfare recipients together outnumber whites by about 2 to 1.

The Oscars are being held tomorrow. I can understand why a lot of people might not want to watch them: the self-satisfied political posturing, the paucity of good movies, the windy acceptance speeches, and the sleaziness of what passes for glamour these days.
But I plan to watch, although probably not every single moment. I always enjoy the fashions, good or bad. And I'm curious to see if a movie I've actually seen—"La La Land"—will set some sort of record for Oscars.
A lot of people have questioned why this movie, which is pretty good but not necessarily one of the all-time greats, has been nominated for so very many awards. Well, one reason might be the lack of quality competition. Another might be that it celebrates the city of Los Angeles and aspiring to be an actor, which after all is the home of most of the people doing the voting and the profession of many of them.
Oh, it has other things to recommend it, too. A hummable score, an opening number that knocks your socks off, popular and attractive leads, bright colors. But I think key to the whole thing is romance. I think that I can say, without spoiling the movie for anyone who hasn't yet seen it, that one of the most remarkable things about the film is the big big deal it makes of the first hand-holding between the man and woman who are its main protagonists. Hand-holding, a monumental activity, a watershed moment? Yes.
Same for their first kiss. And though we can assume that sex definitely enters into the picture for this couple, it doesn't really enter into the picture known as "La La Land." Dancing is the stand-in for it.
I maintain that people are thirsty for that sort of approach, even young people. They've been brought up on so much overt and even casual sex in the movies (and in music, and online, and in life) that it no longer has any novelty to watch it being enacted on the big screen.

John Kerry surprised even his most ardent supporters recently by flip-flopping twice within a 24-hour period. They weren't so much surprised by the fact that he flip-flopped, the number of flip-flops, or the speed of the flip-flops–rather, they were surprised by the subject matter of the flip-flops: abortion.
Kerry had suggested that he'd consider appointing pro-life justices to the Supreme Court provided such appointments wouldn't tilt the Court's pro-choice majority. The pronouncement was at odds with Kerry's position throughout the campaign that he would use a pro-choice litmus test for judicial appointments.
The next day, after a minor media tempest, Kerry reverted to a no-pro-life-nominees-need-apply stance.
Although Kerry backers may have been bewildered by his momentary departure from pro-choice orthodoxy, they weren't particularly alarmed. Abortion-rights groups quickly issued statements generally supportive of their candidate. After all, if there's one issue that Kerry hasn't treated like a pair of uneven parallel bars, it's abortion.
For a brief period at the outset of his political career, Kerry did insist that the issue of abortion should be left to the states. But the nation's most liberal senator rapidly became an abortion-rights stalwart, with perhaps the most consistent pro-choice record over the last 20 years of anyone in Congress.
As a freshman senator, Kerry declared abortion a basic human right and later asserted that abortion should move "into the mainstream of medical practice." His voting record matched his rhetoric: He voted six times against bills that would have banned partial-birth abortions, maintaining that there's no such thing as a "partial birth." Kerry's votes against the ban are especially striking given his reputation as one who votes in conformance with the polls: 70 percent of the public supports the ban.
Kerry has also voted three times against bills requiring parental consent or notification for a minor to get an abortion. He also opposed making it a federal crime for anyone other than a parent to transport a minor across state lines to obtain an abortion.
While he's invoked Bill Clinton's line about making abortion "safe, legal, and rare," the consequences of Kerry's votes would logically result in anything but the last. Not only did Kerry vote at least 25 times in favor of using taxpayer funds to pay for abortions in the U.S., he vehemently opposed President Bush's restriction on federal funds to groups providing abortion counseling overseas. When Larry King asked Kerry what his first executive order as president would be, his response had nothing to do with issues such as the war on terror, the economy, education, or health care. Instead, Kerry replied, "Remove the Mexico City policy on the gag rule (regarding funding for abortion counseling) so that we take a responsible position on family planning."
Moreover, Kerry voted to kill an amendment prohibiting the United Nations Population Fund from providing funds to organizations in China involved in coercive abortions and involuntary sterilization. He also voted against an amendment to prohibit federal funds from being used to perform abortions or provide abortion referrals at elementary and secondary schools.
For his efforts, Kerry perennially receives a 100-percent rating from NARAL and Planned Parenthood. On the other hand, the National Right to Life Committee regularly gives him a 0 percent rating.
Kerry once maintained that "liberals spend too much time pushing issues" like abortion. Nonetheless, he told the Washington Post that he would make abortion a "defining issue" in debates with President Bush.
No doubt he will. This is one issue on which Kerry isn't nuanced. Despite polls showing that 80 percent of voters support the Unborn Victims of Violence Act ("Laci and Conner's Law"), Kerry opposed it. And he didn't even vote for it before he voted against it.

Review for Crest Cadillac Collision Center
Taylor H. on 03/29/2015
"Unorganized - No Communication"
Had an Audi brought to the collision center for repair based on the recommendation of the Audi dealership, who said Crest was their strategic partner for body repair work. After having car towed in, there was no communication from Crest for over a week, so I called to check. They hadn't even looked at the car yet. Took them another 2 days to verify the car was even there. Then it was reported to me that the car would be ready on January 9. I received no communication from Crest after that, so I called them 3-4 days before the 9th to check on status. They had no update. It took upwards of a week for them to get to the bottom of things, but the short response from them was they had a customer service rep walk off the job and lost all records of my car even being there. So, basically my car had been sitting in their fenced lot for about 45 days, and I was in the same position I was when the car was originally towed there. They said they needed to order parts (2-3 more weeks). When the parts arrived they pulled off the panels and discovered the frame was bent and that the car was actually totaled, not repairable as previously indicated, so basically it took over 2 months for them to tell me they could do nothing. In their defense, the reps that took over during the latter portions of this whole fiasco were actually nice and helpful. However, since only 1 month of car rental was covered by my insurance company, choosing Crest actually put me back about $2,000 in extra rental costs. Not good.

Looking out the window of the Trailways bus, Gregg Schilling read the sign, "You are now leaving the state of Oregon." Seated next to him were his wife, Thea, and his 6-year-old granddaughter, Eva. Although he did not feel they were criminals, they were now officially fugitives escaping the long arm of the law which planned to separate Eva from the only parents she had ever known.

In which situations are measuring and/or correcting
loudness needed? Due to the establishment of numerous international
broadcast standards, broadcasting is the obvious answer - and even
within a broadcast context, loudness measuring is relevant at many
different points of distribution.
However, the loudness issue is not only relevant to broadcasters, but also to production, post and mastering engineers. In the following, we will go through the various loudness application scenarios.
Broadcasting: Transmission (metering)
Obviously, it is important to keep an eye on loudness during transmission.
Broadcasting: Transmission (correction)
Monitoring loudness is not always enough, as the transmitted audio may need to be corrected. In this case, a loudness processor that complies with the broadcast standard that the station uses is the solution.
Pre Broadcasting: Ingest & Quality Control
The process of transferring and storing data to servers prior to transmission is called ingest, and here it is also recommended to monitor the loudness and, if needed, adjust level offsets to match the target level of the broadcast standard the station uses.
Post Broadcasting: Logging
Loudness meters that are capable of creating a log file of the program material being measured is valuable for post transmission evaluation and consumer quality control.
Production, Post & Mastering
It may be wise to monitor loudness in all steps of audio
production, all the way from early production and recording stages
to post production and mastering. Program material that has been
mixed and mastered using traditional sample-peak normalization as

Inhibition Patterns the Whisking Rhythm
In this issue of Neuron, Deschenes et al. (2016) propose that rhythmic inhibition of whisker motor neurons is a key pattern generator underlying exploratory whisking. The inhibitory premotor neurons located in the brain-stem reticular formation are synchronized by breathing-related oscillators.

There were days through the first three years of high school when Malcolm Vaught got frustrated.
There were days through the first three years of high school when Malcolm Vaught got frustrated. The West Bladen senior has always been asked to play a variety of positions. Splitting time between those spots never bothered him. The constantly changing playbook was the issue.
Read Colby Lewis' answers to five questions at the end of this article.
In three seasons, Vaught worked under three different offensive coordinators, each with a different style, playbook and terminology. Some days, he'd get upset because he had no idea what was going on.
So, what can Vaught do with the same offensive coordinator and playbook from last year? Even he's excited to find out.
"I feel pretty comfortable," Vaught said. "The plays are the same. I know the plays like the back of my hand. I know which holes to hit, which ways to go that my blocking is going to lead me to. I love it."
As a junior, Vaught did a little bit of everything for the Knights. He finished with 1,358 all-purpose yards (744 rushing, 216 receiving, 392 kick return, 6 interception return) and 17 total touchdowns. He also had two interceptions and 32 tackles at cornerback.
There's been no question that Vaught has the skill set to shine at any position. He sete the state record on Oct. 26, 2012, with 357 receiving yards in a single game. (Currituck's Dakwon Freeman reset the record last year with 360.) His 20 catches that night are still second-most in a game.
West Bladen coach Russell Dove has big plans for Vaught. He intends to line the versatile player up at wing back, wide receiver and even running back once in a while.
"I expect him to be more versed in the offense. I expect him to know the intricacies of the offense, for lack of a better word," Dove said.
Dove also noted that he wants to see Vaught's leadership shine this year along with his play.
Vaught said Dove isn't afraid to use him as an example at practice for everyone else.
If Dove needs to show his team how to play a specific position, it's often Vaught who gets called on as the guinea pig to show how it's done.
Now that he's comfortable, Vaught wants to show he can be the record-setting player he was on that October night two years ago. He's got big plans for himself and his team - and now he knows how to get it done.
"I want to lead my team as far as it can go and I want to be on top," Vaught said. "I want to be known from each coach in the state. I want to put up big numbers, like 400 yards a night, 19 catches, big numbers. I pray to God I have a successful season this year."

Besides football, do you have any other hidden talent? I'm a good writer.
If you could take anybody to prom, who would you take? Will Ferrell. He's my favorite actor. He'd be fun at prom.
What is your favorite movie? 'Talladega Nights.'
Do you have any pregame rituals? I like to find a quiet place to sit and think about the game and get focused.
Finish this sentence: In 10 years, I will be … successful.

In Detroit, Some Schools Are Really Out Forever
For 33 schools in Detroit it's the last day ever. Enrollment in the Detroit public schools has plummeted in the last decade. Fed up with poor achievement, families are moving to the suburbs, or switching to charter schools and other alternatives. So the city is closing buildings, reassigning students, and laying off teachers.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Today is the last day of school in Detroit. And for 33 of those schools, it's the last day ever. Enrollment in Detroit's public schools has plummeted by 60,000 students in the last 10 years. Fed up with poor achievement, families are moving to the suburbs or switching to charter schools and other alternatives.
Sarah Hulett of Michigan Radio was on hand at one of those schools as students, teachers and families said goodbye.
SARAH HULETT: The hallways of Brady Elementary are lined with old pictures of staff and students. All week long, former students have been coming in to snap their own photos and visit their old classrooms. And outside the front office, class photo albums dating back to the early 1980s sit on the table.
Ms. LA TANYA CLARK(ph) (Resident, Detroit): Bettany(ph).
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. CLARK: Oh, my goodness. That's Cassandra. That's Charles.
HULETT: La Tanya(ph) Clark's two older sons went to this school on Detroit's west side, and her daughter Cabria(ph) is a fifth-grader here.
Ms. CLARK: I went to Brady, my whole family. All the teachers - my daughter's teacher, Miss Thomas, she taught like, probably like six generations. We all went here. All of us.
HULETT: Down the hallway, Maria Sullivan is settling her class down. She's about to break some bad news to her fifth-graders.
Ms. MARIA SULLIVAN (Teacher, Brady Elementary): Hey, any more questions for me? Boys? Yes, Bettina(ph).
BETTINA (Student, Brady Elementary): Ms. Sullivan, are you going to go to another school?
Ms. SULLIVAN: Actually, guys, I haven't told you, but I have been laid off.
BETTINA: For real?
Ms. SULLIVAN: I've been laid off. So far, I have no school, no job. So I'm going to try to get into something, so we'll see. We'll see, okay?
HULETT: Several kids tell Sullivan to try and get hired at the schools where they're headed for sixth grade, then she gets them ready for their promotion ceremony.
Ms. SULLIVAN: Everybody knows what they're supposed to do, right?
Unidentified Group: Yes.
Ms. SULLIVAN: Okay. Everybody knows the song and the anthem?
Unidentified Group: Yes.
Ms. SULLIVAN: Okay. All right. Very good.
HULETT: A few minutes later, Sullivan's class joins the rest of the fifth grade in the auditorium for their last assembly as elementary students.
(Soundbite of music)
Unidentified Group #2: (Singing) (Unintelligible)
HULETT: After the ceremony, the kids are giddy and squealing like any elementary students in the last days of school, but there's also a little bit of melancholy. Lia Nelson(ph) is a fifth-grader.
Ms. LIA NELSON (Student, Brady Elementary): I feel sad because this is the school that has brought me up since second grade. And I'm really upset that it's closing because I really wanted it to stay open.
HULETT: But this school is 85 years old and its enrollment is about half of what the school was built to accommodate during Detroit's boom years, so Brady will close and teachers and staff will move on. Down the hallway, Caroline Coleman is cleaning out a locker that serves as her office.
Ms. CAROLINE COLEMAN (Classroom Assistant, Brady Elementary): Good job. (Unintelligible).
HULETT: Coleman is a classroom assistant, and she says she doesn't know whether she'll have a job next fall. But she says she's more worried about where all the students will end up.
Ms. COLEMAN: A lot of them are like me - don't have transportation to get back and forth to school. And they don't want to bus the kids - it's sad, and then they say no child be left behind. With the way they're going, there's going to be a lot of children left behind.
HULETT: Detroit public school officials are hoping their restructuring plan will help them create stronger programs that will stop the exodus out of the district and maybe even bring back some of the families who have left.
Ms. COLEMAN: That's the end of that.
(Soundbite of locker closing)

August 14 @ 10:53 a.m.
Virgo/Pisces Full Moon
August 29 @ 2:35 p.m.
Reconsidering Life Purpose
On an annual basis, August is typically a transitional month. The Sun in Leo encourages the lighter more playful side of life, reflecting the urge to take full advantage of warm summer days by getting away from it all in the great outdoors. As August unfolds, Virgo, the zodiac sign of work beckons us back to routine and the daily rhythm of the workaday world.
A sense of transition is furthered by Saturn in Scorpio entering a direct phase on August 2. From birth to death, Saturn marks the cycles of life, revealing the process and purpose of incarnation in human form. It's deep pondering, focusing and contemplative energy can take us from myopic, self centered reality to Reality.
It is common to resist, and even deny, the lessons of Saturn. This planet of time, space and form removes what is no longer needed upon one's life path, and brings in what is needed for growth and maturity.
Saturn has been in Scorpio since autumn 2012. These past years have taken most of us beneath the surface of life to dive deeply into the waters of personal empowerment, emotional attachments, sabotaging patterns and the unconscious side of life. In many cases, Saturn has revealed things that we didn't want to see, or were unable to see until now.
We don't always agree with Saturn. It tests us to remember and embody the true purpose of life beyond superficial struggles and distractions. Ultimately, Saturn always gets its way in this temporary world. Forms are born, grow and thrive, outlive their usefulness, deteriorate and dissolve back from whence they came. Saturn is the reality check planet, always taking us back to the bottom line.
Learning From & Wrapping Up the Past
The first week of August is an excellent time to reflect on how your perspective and life has changed since 2012. What have you had to release ? How have you deepened your perspective in regard to relationships, shared resources and power? Have you been able to delve deeply, surrender to what is, and discover the riches in Saturn's trials and tribulations?
Saturn reminds us that time marches on, and collectively speaking, we are way past the uncertainty of 2012, and mid-way through the major adjustments and adaptations needed to thrive in the 21st century.
As Saturn enters a direct phase, each of us face the necessity and reality of completion. It may be time to call a truce and make a deal, coming to agreement even if it doesn't feel as satisfactory and fulfilling as you would prefer. August is a month to handle real life details, and wrap up the past.
Whether this wrap up is tinged with reactivity, negativity and resistance, or experienced as a beautiful gift of learning grace through life's challenges, is truly up to each individual. Saturn is the zodiac teacher of attitude, persistence, forbearance and constructively learning from life's ups and downs.
Moving On Versus Settling For
Each of the planets are continually moving into and out of alignment with other planets. Astrologers call these alignments aspects. During the first week of August, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter orbit into aspect with Saturn, amplifying the potent reality check described above. In many cases, this energetic alignment will activate significant changes that require attention and adjustment for months to come.
These alignments are rare and have the potential to trigger specific conditions. While effects are dependent on each individual's personal astrology chart, the overall gestalt can be summarized as the need to re-assess projected goals, evaluate circumstances, and trim away what is no longer vitalizing, enlivening and workable.
As Saturn tends to restrict and limit the flow, bring awareness to the areas of your life where the juiciness feels drained. Examine your sense of obligation in terms of time, finances and relationships, and be willing to release what has outlived its relevance.
The Leo New Moon on August 14 holds the promise of new beginnings. A New Moon is always optimal for turning over a new leaf, and setting intentions upon which to move forward. Venus, the planet of love, beauty and harmony, activates this New Moon. Esoterically speaking, Venus is associated with the heart chakra, the center of peace, contentment and happiness.
Personal Expression & Relationship
As you may recall from my article last month, Venus is now retrograde (July 25 - September 6). These are weeks of re-evaluating self-expression, literally and figuratively. Venus tunes us into honesty and integrity; how to display it (adornment and decor), how to express it (affection and intimacy), and how to stand strong in one's personal expression (ethics and morality).
On the outer level, you may find yourself upgrading your wardrobe, remodeling your home or beginning creative projects. On an inner level, you may experience clarity in terms of relating, and how you would like to give and receive love. Spiritually speaking, you may find yourself more in tune with your heart's pure longing for Divine connection.
Another significant planetary shift occurs on August 11 as Jupiter completes its transit through Leo and enters Virgo terrain. Following Jupiter, the Sun enters Virgo on August 23. Additionally, Mercury is like quicksilver, transiting rapidly this month, spending a short time in Virgo (August 7 - 27).
As the month unfolds, more than likely, you may notice a palpable shift from the playful, romantic, creative and self-expressive side of Leo to the detailed oriented, studious, cautious and analytical zodiac sign of Virgo.
Since Jupiter will remain in Virgo for a good year, through to September 2016, let's examine this influence and extract the potential of Jupiter's beneficial gifts. First of all, Jupiter gives a boost of optimism, confidence, and even grace, to the areas of life being activated. As Virgo is the zodiac sign of work, service, health and healing, look for improvements in these areas beginning this month and continuing as the next 12 months unfold.
Good Health is Supported
At first glance, these areas may appear unrelated, but in order to serve productively, it is optimal for one's health to be topnotch. Jupiter in Virgo will support the flow of positive energy between health care givers and those in need of services. It will enhance finding those people that can truly assist, and the discovery and implementation of remedies that effectively deliver the needed results.
If you are in need of employment, Jupiter in Virgo will enhance opportunity and working conditions. Overall, Jupiter in Virgo has the potential to improve many aspects of everyday life, especially those things we may take for granted until they are problematic.
By month's end, a Full Moon illuminates the sky on August 29 with Sun in Virgo, and the Moon is in Pisces. The astrological chart for this lunation is very interesting as it accentuates the interplay between the logic and intuition. Inherent within this interplay is contradiction.
We have all experienced the tug of war between thinking our way through problems, and trusting in a heartfelt and spontaneous knowing. The heart actually has a deep and clear knowing which is available in the pause of stillness. Trusting and entering this access point supports listening to the inner voice of conscience and wisdom, in addition to the possibility of facilitating transcendence of the very problem itself.
Trusting Our Heart Instinct
The astrological dynamic of this Full Moon chart shows Sun and Jupiter joined in Virgo with the Moon in Pisces joining Neptune. This unique combination is supernatural in effect, but it can be disorienting and confusing in terms of practical matters.
Contemporary culture, driven by the media, tends to present the supernatural in the context of shadowy, overly dramatic, fearful and horrendous images. This presentation does a great disservice, and couldn't be further from the truth as it masks and distorts the true gifts of the spiritual life.
Even though the subtle dimensions of life can seem otherworldly and extraordinary, these expanded states of awareness are quite natural and ordinary. In most cases, it is a simple, direct, immediate and physical experience of living without the distortion of preconceived, habitual and conditioned response.
It is primarily a feeling state of sensing and seeing the beauty and light within and through form. These apparently miraculous shifts in perspective happen to everyone. They are not to be feared or sensationalized. Even though they may come and go in an instant, they are sign points to an expanded reality.
Breakthroughs Eventually Happen!
Over recent months, we have witnessed many breakthroughs in diplomatic and humanitarian issues. For decades the U.S. and Cuba have been at odds, and currently channels of exchange are opening once again. Workable agreements with Iran appear to be underway. The Supreme Court decision on gay marriage is another major development.
These events, and other breakthroughs, give tangible evidence of the long-term trend of Uranus and Pluto beginning to wane. Since 2010, many advancements have stalled in a stalemate of conflict, indifference, indecision and controversy. With each side digging in their heels of righteousness and superiority, it has been challenging, if not impossible, to come to resolution.
The good news is, these planets have served well in wearing down opposition, developing viable solutions, and strengthening the causes of freedom and progress.

The Sixth Section Trailer (2003)
01 January 2003 26 mins
The Sixth Section opens a surprising window on immigration in the 21st century. Following a group of Mexican immigrants from the tiny desert town of Boqueron who now work in upstate New York, the film documents their struggle to support themselves—and their hometown 3,000 miles to the south. To do this, the men form a 'union' that raises money in the form of weekly donations of $10 or $20 from each of its members in New York. In the past few years the group has brought electricity, an ambulance, and, most dramatically, a 2,000-seat baseball stadium to Boqueron. The Sixth Section is an intimate portrait of how the 'American Dream' is being redefined by today's immigrants.

Opinions are good in choosing which table saw you need to purchase at aiding you. The process, however, is many evaluations suppose you have just a little knowledge about table saws that you might not have. This is the cause; I have created this informative article like a type of introduction for the kinds of machine tool. This can probably offer a history and construction to you everything you will want it for and about which type of you need. If so, let us begin with the four major types of table saw. Within the first place, there are four major types of tool bench top, company, cross, and cabinet saws. All these are meant for a distinct type of working environment along with another type of work. Furthermore, each was made to get especially various quantities of precision of the pieces and a different quantity of use. Whilst the title indicates table saws do not have legs. When used, they are designed to be placed on a work bench. This is because they are semi-portable.
Here is the kind of tool you try employment site to get a time of cutting outside trim and would probably place in the rear of one's get. This is not the kind of tool you would likely put up about the course where you would be making top quality furniture. portable table saw work for the things they are made for good. However, they are not accurate. For that you ought to have another form. Contractor saws are a lot like bench top saws, but with feet. The idea behind many contractor saws is they are fairly lightweight, but they are also meant to be left on site. If you have employment like a finish carpenter this may probably be the type of tool you had try a worksite. Contractor saws typically charge a bit more than bench tops. They might not be portable. And they are often significantly more precise than bench top saws.
If this is the case this is really the kind of tool you might need. Anticipate spending some cash, though. Top quality cabinet saws charge several thousand dollars. Furthermore, they are not whatsoever portable. The scale of the table and precision would be the two issues here. A machine software usually looses precision the more it is moved. Never moved and cabinet saws are designed to be put up. Hybrid table saws are saws that play the role of both. Some are good, others not. Do not expect the cross saw two are precisely as being a quality cabinet saw.

One Year Anniversary for Transplant
It's been a long time since I've posted....since June of 2013 I believe. What's happened in that time? Not much, which is a good thing. Carlos has done remarkably well aside feom some weight gain issues. He's been the picture of health since receiving his gift of life. He's even weathered a cold and a stomach virus without any difficulty!
This week he has a full evaluation. Today he had a ton of blood drawn....10 tubes. And now he is waiting for his left heart cath. I guess the plan is to evaluate his heart function, pulmonary function, etc. He normally only has a right heart cath, which they do for biopsies to evaluate for rejection. Tomorrow he has a bunch of other less invasive tests then follow up with the docs and nurses on Wednesday. We anticipate a clean bill of health.
I remember when I used to get so nervous about the heart caths, I would ask a friend or family member to sit with me. Seems so ho-hum now. I told Carlos it's hard being the family member. When he would have surgeries, he would get to sleep or get really good drugs. They should consider drugging the family members too...at least provide an ativan lollipop or three!
I just got done giving him a hug before he goes back and gets the good drugs. It's very cool that one of his nurses is the mother of one of my patients. There's a little extra comfort in that :)
So now that it has been a year, I'm contemplating writing a letter to his donor family. I would ask the kids if they want to write as well. It's a very emotional thing and I worry that it will be difficult to adequately express my gratitude in a written format. But I think it's worth trying.

Some Fun Photos
24 Days Post Transplant
I can't believe I haven't blogged in 12 days! I think it's mostly because there isn't anything exciting to report and that's probably a good thing.
The biggest thing going on is continuing to tweak his meds. His prograf levels are still high but slowly coming down to a normal level. The last check was 14+ (therapeutic is 8-12). He had a day where he had the shakes. Apparently that's a common side effect especially when your levels are high. I had found some heart transplant facebook groups and there was a whole thread about this. Of course, in typical Carlos fashion, he didn't mention this until we were at a check up. He got the lecture about calling if anything came up. It's the 'if you even think about calling us, call us' line of thought.
He had one day, where he was dizzy every time he was standing up. Despite no unusually low blood pressures, they opted to stop his cardizem. There hasn't been a repeat since. Dizziness can also be a side effect of prograf. His blood pressure is high when he first gets up but then drops as the day goes on. He keeps a log of his daily weights, temps, a couple blood pressure checks. His weight has continued to drop everyday except for today. He has lost 12 pounds since discharge.
We are at Mayo today for weekly biopsy. He's having xrays, Labs and an echo done as well. His biopsies have all been a 0 so far and we hope to continue that. That indicates the amount of rejection of the new heart. A 0 is none and 3 is major rejection. A 1 is common and nothing gets done with that.
While we have felt very supported by family and friends, it came to my attention that there are those out there who think that the heart failure Carlos had was his fault and that he hasn't been getting good care. I guess they think he wasn't taking very good care of himself. Obviously they haven't read his story or maybe don't believe it. It makes me mad because this wasn't his fault. He didn't smoke, wasn't doing drugs, rarely drank alcohol. He may have been a little overweight but that's it. Never had high blood pressure. Never had high cholesterol. In fact, when he was first diagnosed, they couldn't find any reason why this happened. No coronary artery disease, nothing! The doctors have always felt it was genetic. They have isolated a gene associated with dilated cardiomyopathy and suspect it runs in Carlos' family. I wish people would mind their own business or talk to us directly instead of speculating based on second or third hand information. I also take this stuff personally because it implies I haven't taken very good care of him. We accept only positive voices in our lives, no negativity. Fortunately there are many who contribute that positivity :)
We have been receiving meals almost every night and want to thank everyone for your assistance! Those meals make a huge difference for me. Last week was a very hectic week and I really started to struggle by the weekend. A major meltdown occurred and I'm embarrassed by it. It was just a combination of stress, poor rest, and feeling overwhelmed. I'm anticipating a lighter week this week so expect things will be more manageable. Only two trips to Mayo this week! Yay!
The kids are handling everything well. It's amazing what we all can adjust to...

Got Drugs?
Carlos had to go through his meds and place them in his pillbox for a week under the watchful eye of Stacy (one of the nurse coordinators) and myself. It's a 30 minute production! You can see the volume of bottles and amount of pills in the pictures. It's pretty amazing!
He's still getting IV antibiotics for 5 days for the cellulitis. The home health nurse came and showed me how to do it. I had to dredge up some old school skills. As a provider I don't do much with IVs anymore. It's like riding a bike though.
Carlos is doing well. He said he had a decent nights sleep for the most part. He woke up a couple times looking at the LVAD equipment. I figure it will take a couple nights to adjust to his own bed and schedule and no LVAD equipment.
I went in the pool today for the first time this year. The water is perfect at 83 degrees. The kids and I had fun playing volleyball. Can't wait until Carlos can join us!

Today is discharge day and we are so excited! It won't be until later today but we don't care :)
His prograf levels are therapeutic now after giving him extra prograf along with increasing his dose.
His potassium is high so they started a couple new meds yesterday to decrease it. He has to go home on a low potassium, diabetic, and heart healthy diet. I wonder if they have a website for that combo of restrictions! Fortunately the potassium and diabetic stuff is temporary. It's looking like no need to check blood sugars at home but don't know about that for sure yet.
We are going to the transplant support group shortly and then the transplant coordinator will come by to do the discharge teaching and organize meds. They supply him with a month worth of meds upon discharge and help him fill his pill box the first couple weeks.
More later

Bad News But Not Really
He has not reached a therapeutic level for his prograf. The goal is 8-12 I believe and he's just into the 5's today. They keep upping the dose. They said that different people metabolize differently and this is also common in men and black people. They really need his levels to be stable before sending him home.
He had his first heart biopsy this morning. No big deal as it's not much different from getting a plain old right heart cath. Results from that tomorrow but they say rejection this early is very unlikely.
His arm looks much better today. The IV vancomycin is doing the trick plus he's on the bactrim. Using vanc for cellulitis is like killing an ant with a sledgehammer :p Definitely on the mend although his white blood cell count remains elevated. The blood cultures aren't growing anything though which is very good. That means no blood infection.
His potassium level is on the high end of normal as a side effect of a couple of his meds so they are watching that closely as well.
Last creatinine from yesterday was 1.0 :)
He's in pretty good spirits as are the rest of us. It's a lot easier to be positive than last time :) He is gonna get to shower tomorrow - that's pretty exciting because it was such a production with the LVAD and he hasn't showered since May 23rd! They tell us he can be in the pool at 8 weeks post-op. He will have to be super careful with sun exposure since the meds can increase his risk for skin cancer among other things.

This is part wishlist and part 'bought list' in actuality as I'm going out next Friday and fancied something new to wear. Confession time: I might have treated myself to not one, but three dresses (for trying on purposes of course) and I couldn't resist the cheetah shirt dress [1], ornamental print playsuit [2] or the monochrome striped dress [5] (all the links are under the montage). I'm telling myself I'll send at least one of the unsuitable ones back! I will, I will!
Of course, no wishlist of mine is complete without a pair of shoes. I actually bought a pair of Dr Martens boots this week (not the laced ones, just some plain knee-highs) but I've also been eyeing up this pair of flat shoes; they remind of some I might have worn to school a frightening amount of years ago but I also like the idea of wearing them to add a bit of clompiness (is that a word? I'll go with it) to a pretty dress...
Animal print shirt dress - Boohoo - £25
2. Ornamental print playsuit - Boohoo - £25
3. Metallic bodycon dress - Fashion Union - £26
4. Derby shoes - Spartoo - £67
5. Monochrome striped dress - Missguided - £18.99
6. Long sleeved skater dress - Missguided - £14.99
Have you got your eye on anything new this week?

'I was brought up in a little country town, and it is my lot now to live in or rather on the borders of a great manufacturing town, but when spring days first come and the bursting leaves and sweet, earthy smells tell me that 'Somer is ycomen in', I feel a stirring instinct and long to be off into the deep grassy solitudes of the country.' For more click here.
In Elizabeth Gaskell's last novel, Wives and Daughters, the setting is the small town of Hollingford; just as Knutsford's King Street leads on to the Tatton Park gates so at Hollingford '… the little straggling town faded away into country on one side close to the entrance lodge of a great park where lived my Lord and Lady Cumnor'. Cumnor Towers evokes Tatton with its parkland and fine gardens. For more click here.
When Elizabeth Gaskell first mentioned Capesthorne, in a letter dated 12th May 1836, she had lunched there and found it 'such a beautiful place – not the house which is rather shabby but the views from the park'. However, a year later, Davies Davenport who was MP for Cheshire, died and his son set about remodelling the house to the plans made by Edward Blore, architect to William IV and Queen Victoria. In 1851 when Elizabeth Gaskell met the architect and his wife at the house she was still not impressed as she believed Mrs Blore was only interested in the value of the jewellery and objets d'art. For more click here.
When Manchester was linked to Altrincham by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway in 1849 the Cheshire countryside became more easily accessible to the Gaskells. The station, then on Railway Street, was nearer to Bowdon than the present station.
Although it is tempting to try to link people and places from the Cheshire region in the Victorian era with fictional counterparts found in Elizabeth Gaskell's writings, her imagination was equal to creating her own characters. For more click here.
Captain Henry Hill, a veteran of Waterloo, came to Knutsford in 1836, as a half – pay captain of the 1st King's Dragoon Guards, to be adjutant to the Cheshire yeomanry. He was usually seen wearing the Waterloo cloak which he had bivouacked in the night before the battle of Waterloo. It could be said that the character Captain Brown from the novel Cranford was inspired by Captain Henry Hill. Like Hill, Captain Brown had fought in 'the plumed wars' (Napoleonic war) and was visited in Cranford by Lord Mauleverer, his former officer, possibly based on the Duke of Wellington. For more click here.
Elizabeth Gaskell's uncle was Dr. Peter Holland of Knutsford. He had a general practice that included the gentry such as the Stanleys, the Egertons and the Gregs of Styal, along with their apprentices at Quarry Bank Mill. These aristocratic families would therefore have been familiar to Gaskell from an early age. For more click here.
Elizabeth Gaskell had a deep love of the Cheshire countryside with its leafy lanes, farms and parks. In letters she recalls happy memories of delightful picnics at Tabley Old Hall. For more click here.
If any place in Cheshire inspired Elizabeth's love of the countryside it was surely her grandparents' home at Sandlebridge, a few miles from Knutsford. This was a small hamlet, around the Sandle Brook that turned the water mill adjoined to a smithy. This area was part of Little Warford which merged with Great Warford; together the whole of these ancient townships scarcely amounted to more than a small village. For more click here

The Kia Cadenza will enter the 2017 model year with improved styling, a lighter body structure, and new 8-speed transmission as it enters its second generation.
The 2017 front-wheel-drive Cadenza, which was shown at the New York International Auto Show, is expected to go on sale in late 2016. Pricing and detailed specifications will be announced closer to that date.
The 2017 Cadenza is Kia's first FWD 8-speed automatic transmission. Power will be delivered by a version of Kia's 3.3L V-6 that has been revised for greater fuel efficiency. The engine is expected to produce 290 hp.
The Cadenza's body structure will now be composed of 50% high-strength steel to reduce weight. Kia is adding a ninth airbag for the driver's knee.

Zambia's South Luangwa is reporting exceptional wildlife action with the delays of the rains. Hippo and buffalo struggling to find food, lions and hyenas spoilt for choice.
South Luangwa is one of Zambia's top wilderness areas and one of Africa's safari holiday hot spots, famous for its Big Five action and walking safaris.
Speaking of hot, there has still not been any sign of rain and the area is turning into a killing field! Read the article on Tafika's website and look at the gruesome images taken from the microlight flying overhead. It shows mother nature at work and the raw brutality of life.
Our top five camps in South Luangwa
Tafika – Remote, simple, open, on the river, mountain bike safari, microlight safari, walking and traditional 4×4. Sound like your style? Even the Courier Mail reported this camp as one for the bucket list. Read the article here. For us it's special because it is owner run, intimate and genuinely authentic, employing locals, setting up charities, growing own food all in the name of sustainability and we love it.
Zungulila Camp – This is intimacy with only four tents. Its location is exceptional – right on a raised knoll overlooking African plains with natural springs in front where you can sit in the water with a sundowner in hand after the perfect African walking safari and watch another perfect sunset.
Kaingo Camp – A photographer's dream, this camp has a great location for wildlife watching and an outstanding elephant hide where you can spend all day in awe of these big African animals.
Tena Tena Camp – Part of the privately-owned Robin Pope wildlife sanctuary, the camp's peaceful atmosphere and comfortable guest rooms provide a small haven of relative luxury in the wilderness. In the evening, you can watch the sun go down over the Luangwa River while taking a shower in your own private open-air bathroom. The camp is completely inaccessible at certain times of year when the river Zambezi swells, bursts and floods the plains. Desolate and with luxurious accommodation, it is one of the world's most exclusive safari destinations and considered one of the best nature reserves in Africa.
Mchenja Camp – Of course we leave the best until last!
Mchenja meaning "ebony", occupies a stunning setting beneath a magnificent grove of these trees on the banks of the Luangwa river. It is just a short morning's walk upstream from Kakuli Bush Camp and is in an area teaming with wildlife. Although this camp takes luxury in the bush to a level not previously seen in Zambia, it is a bush camp designed toMchenja Deck and Chitenje combine excellently with our other more rustic locations.
The camp comprises four stylishly designed tents each under its own thatched roof and with a deck in front overlooking the Luangwa river. The tents have inside baths with an outside shower room. There is a small pool alongside the bar within the thatched main chitenje, allowing guests to seek cool refuge after their morning's safari activities whilst watching wildlife action on the river.
As a luxury bush camp, Mchenja is the perfect destination to complete a walking safari that has combined stays at a
Guests staying at Mchenja can choose whether they want to view their wildlife on foot or from an open gameviewing vehicle. The gameviewing in this area is superb and night drives are usually very worthwhile.
So if you're thinking about an African safari holiday, African safari honeymoon or Family safari keep Zambia on the list!

Is it any surprise that home entertainment has made tremendous advances in the past ten years. Remember WAY BACK when, about 15 years ago, when we all had one of these?
But now, there are these:
Yow. I have the first TV but certainly not the second. Actually, I'd purchased a newer, fancier model with a flat screen just a few years ago, only to be completely outdated by the plasma, HDTV, super fancified models. I feel so old.
TV really isn't all that important to us. I still have a barebones tube TV (we picked it up off the curb, for pete's sake), but I have a very high-end, high octane computer and an iPad for watching stuff. It's all a matter of priorities.
As a family, we like to watch DVDs and Internet documentaries during dinner, but since we have no television reception, we are limited to watching movies on my small laptop screen. I've been investigating my choice for a few months (I take forever to make sure decisions), and am leaning more toward optimization-world.com HDMI cables or a converter to rig the laptop to the TV. Getting the cables or converter at Optimization-World.com is WAY cheaper than buying a digital TV. They also sell nice VGA cables for computer to monitor connections.
So I'm pleased as punch that there are affordable options out there for old fogies like me. 😀 Maybe I'll even write a tutorial once I finally get the ball rolling on the project….

Comments Off on Finding Good CFL Bulbs
The Old House Journal has a terrific article at oldhouseweb.com/blog/how-to-find-energy-efficient-bulbs-that-dont-suck-nutrition-facts-for-light-bulbs.
Starting in January 2011 light bulbs are required to be labeled with lumens, watts, kelvins and efficacy. Greek to you too? Not worry. The label is now clear, easy to understand and full of fun colors.
It's good news to me. Here in New York State, we will be forced to use only CFLs (or LEDs) for lighting. I have discovered that not all CFLs are created equal, and have often wondered why the differences seems so enigmatic. I had no idea about kelvins and lumens and all that jazz. I recently purchased some "full spectrum" bulbs for our desk lamps, in the hopes that these bulbs would give us a little energy perk and cheer up our spirits on the gloomy days that New York often suffers. I'd heard that full spectrum bulbs simulate sunlight and therefore help improve mood and make you faster than a speeding bullet and etc. Honestly, I don't rely on light bulbs to cure diseases! But if full spectrum bulbs give us a little psychological boost, then, hey- why not? Honestly, I can't say I have noticed a huge difference. Maybe. I'm a pretty chipper person, anyway, especially when I'm at my desk. 😀
Anyway, now we have a little guide for choosing CFLs. I like it. Here's what Old House Journal said:
1. Bedroom and Living Room: Pick a bulb in the "yellow" range as close to 2700K as you can get.
2. Garage, Basement, Laundry and Utility Room: These are rooms where mimicking the sun is okay. So, look for bulbs in the "white" range and have a high color temperature of about 5800K. Don't go too much higher than that or you'll end up in the ugly "blue" range.
3. Computer Screen: There is a great free program I use called F.lux. It makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.
For more specific information, see the lightingfacts.com/Downloads/Performance_Scale.pdf U.S. Department of Energy's CFL lighting facts chart (opens as a pdf document).
March 28, 2011
In 2012, sales of incandescent light bulbs in New York State will be illegal. The bulbs nominated to fill the void: Compact Fluorescent Lights, or CFLs. The government's Energy Star website says that CFL bulbs use "75% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and lasts up to 10 times longer."
Honestly, I've been using CFL bulbs for certain rooms, and I haven't seen any big difference between them an incandescent bulbs; CFLs may last a LITTLE longer than incandescent, but NO WAY not 10 times longer. Maybe 1.5 times. As a matter of fact, I filled my living room chandelier with CFL bulbs in December, and already one has blown. :-p These suckers are pricey, too. No one ever says that they COST 20 times more than incandescent. If you know of a website that offers some statistics, I'm curious.
Anyway, I'm mainly against CFLs because they contain mercury, one of the most toxic neurotoxins known to man. Currently, there is no system for disposal of the bulbs that we will all be forced to use. Oh, there are a whopping total of THREE recycling centers in New York State (all near Albany) that accept CFLs from residents only (at the time of this writing, to my knowledge). But what are homeowners to do with burned-out CFLs? Throw them in the trash for the landfills? Imagine all the mercury polluting the environment, seeping into the water system. Ugh.
Some experts recommend that we save all our CFLs until the state figures out how to dispose of them all.
Uh, hello? We are supposed to stash old bulbs in bags under our beds until you guys figure out what to do with them?! You mean you didn't have this all planned out BEFORE you passed such a law?
*rolls eyes*
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
How about you? Is your state regulating CFLs? Do you see a noticeable difference between them and the incandescents?
March 26, 2011
OOPS. Friday escaped me again. Holy cow, Saturday is nearly gone and done!!
The kids and I started a bit of spring cleaning on Thursday and Friday (even though spring temperatures are NOWHERE in sight right now, lol!!!)
Well, as is her custom, when we are up and about and doing things, Livvy must pitch in. When we washed the little fridge, she thought she'd inspect the work.
She spent quite a bit of time inspecting the interior. This is her Friskies box, you see. It's a tiny thing, but it's very convenient to have a second fridge.
She also hopped into the big fridge, but by the time I got to the camera, she had seen enough. It smelled too much of vegetables and onions, I suppose.
So what do your kittehs do when you clean the house? Do they try to pitch in?
March 24, 2011
I stumbled across a really neat chart recently. It's the Domestic Cat Chart. It's a guide to housecat coats and colors. VERY COOL! Where does your kitty add up? You can check out the flickr.com/photos/74875296@N00/5557665456/sizes/l/in/photostream image. Click on the largest size possible to read all that print.
I'm sorry, I can't remember where I found the chart. 🙁 I would link to it if I knew. If you own the original site and want attribution for the chart, please leave me a comment. I'd love to give you credit!
I guess Livvy is a "mackerel" print. She's half Siamese, half tabby. She's got a lot of the Siamese personality (she's like a family member– very lovey and personable), but she has inherited a bit of the tabby look.
She had a lot of white to her when she was a baby. OH how I miss those days.
Here's a good photo of her mackerel stripes. I don't think she would mind being compared to a fish. Not as long as she could eat some for dinner, too.
This is her Sphinx look. SO Siamese.
My baby is special. 😀 And I love her to little bits.
March 19, 2011
Poor Livvy. Photo taken two weeks ago, when we had a snowstorm that dumped 22″ on us. It took the kids ALL DAY to shovel. It was wet, heavy snow fueled from the Gulf of Mexico, not the delicate lake effect snow that we usually get. Livvy was a wreck that day. The house was soooo quiet. She sat by the back door, waiting for the kids to return.
OK OK I know I'm a little late (again) with the Find the Kitty this week. I just can't seem to catch up on my schedule. I'm struggling to maintain all that I have to do AND still cook and clean. Unfortunately, the cleaning has had to go. My house looks like a tornado hit it. It's unnerving, because I am a neat freak. I've never had such a messy house. :-p I'm seriously thinking of hiring a band of housecleaners for a few weeks.
We never really got settled in after the renovation. We just dumped all the boxes and furniture back into the house and left everything there. I have been waiting for a few days off to be able to organize everything, but it just ain't happening, folks.
Oh well, spring has only just started… here's hoping I can squeeze some time in!
March 19, 2011
I still think real estate is the best investment you can make in the United States. I don't care what the doomsayers are saying about the housing market. The brokers are biting their nails to shreds, worried that they can't get Americans to buy buy buy this year. I read some news story (sorry, I can't locate it the exact article now, nuts) that the U.S. housing market is at its worst in decades. But then I read local stories from around the country where their housing market (and economy) is just fine.
Fargo, North Dakota, is actually seeing a boon. usatoday.com/news/nation/census/2011-03-16-north-dakota-census_N.htm USA Today reports that the population and economy has surged to record levels. I've read similar stories for a few other areas, too.
But here in the Rust Belt, the economy is poor because of TAXES not because of lack of home buyers. The mathematics of trying to sustain a top-heavy public sector by an over-taxed, aging private sector always pans out to be a negative. It's still too early to tell if any of these states (New York, Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts, etc) will really change their ways. So people are "voting with their feet."
But the folks who are left are snapping up the properties left behind (although, in urban areas, the governments are buying vacant properties). I was recently talking with an acquaintance who has– in the last 5 years— purchased a dozen properties. He's rented them all out and become a landlord. And he's been so successful that he no longer needs to work his regular job anymore. That's pretty neat.
As for me, I'm just "small fry." I like owning one home (I have enough to do around here!) but if I ever got a windfall with money left over, I'd probably invest in real estate. I'd probably rent it out to tenants or even as a vacation home (according to Forbes, vacation rental properties are VERY hot right now, especially in cities). It's an interesting shift.
So I don't give a whole lot of weight to the constant nay-saying that the housing market and US economy (which is built on the housing market) is going under. People are just shifting priorities. People don't need to constantly build build build new houses. I am very much in favor of making do with the houses we have. 🙂 So the "house-building boom" of the late 1990s is over. That doesn't spell the end of the world. There's a WHOLE market out there of renovators, people who want to fix up their old homes and spark the economy in that way. But sales and income taxes are too high in some areas. Let's see what happens….
March 15, 2011
Oh yeah, Find the Kitty. I left you in terrible suspense on Friday, didn't I? Haha! Lin just can't contain herself– WHERE'S Livvy? Were your guesses correct?!?!
Sorry if I haven't been around. Since I got some new wheels, I've been zipping around town with my newfound FREEDOM, baby! Booyah!!! We have a travel vehicle once again! I think it would be SO cool. I actually will be getting some New York Traveler t-shirts for us to wear when we visit museums and such. 😀
OK OK enough teasing. 😀 Here's the original photo of Livvy.
She's hiding here. Under the island.
Please excuse the dust bunnies. They are taking over the house. :-p
She literally SQUEEZED under the island. It was funny watching her. I only had a split second to snap a photo with the cell phone, so that's why it's a little blurry.
So you guys were RIGHT!!!!! You're all professional kitty finders, you are!
When it comes to getting promo stuff, I REALLY ought to market the cat. I think she's more popular on the Internet than I am. :-p
March 15, 2011
Besides being a clock freak, I LOVE signs. I love retro signs, safety signs, traffic signs, goofy posters, everything. I'm just as happy having a framed copy of the U.S. Constitution next to my tin sign "DRINK COFFEE! Do stupid things faster with more energy!" 😀
Finding funny signs is another matter, though. I have located a very few online stores that sell retro signs, but they charge an arm and a leg!! But I just found a new website called safetysign.com. This is neat! They have EVERYTHING– parking signs, stop signs, facility signs, recreation signs, OMG the lists are endless. AND I can create my own sign! *snicker* So I can be as eccentric as I want, and they'll make it for me. This is very cool. Hm, I'm currently looking for a "Toxic Waste" sign for my kitchen, lol. Or maybe hang it over the dog's area. :-p
I liked this one. Ha!
Oh, this would be PERFECT over my desk!
And I'd put this in all the kids' rooms. (And in mine, ai chihuahua).
So there's a sign for every body for every situation, lol. I there are a gadzillion different signs. The prices are actually pretty good, and you can order U-Channels Posts with mounting hardware in different colors. VERY COOL! Because I need to place a few "DO NOT PARK IN PRIVATE DRIVE" in my front yard. I live near a popular ice cream store, and all summer long I am asking people to please move their cars so I can get out of my driveway.
Check out the site! It's cute. The site has mostly safety signs and such, but if you like quirky decor, or are in need a of gentle reminder for traffic passers-by, it's a great place to get some signs!

Product Reviews
I hated coconut- until today!
Posted by Unknown on 8th May 2014
I hated anything coconut for years. I often thought that the smell was overpowering, and it always reminded me of cheap sunscreen.
*BUT* this body butter is rich, and the scent is strong without being over powering. When I smell this, I think of summer, not cheap sunscreen.
