The "???" were just there to add flavor to my sentences...
trick or treating is a fairly new custom around here, so I don't know much about it.
Usually we just cower behind closed doors because we forgot to buy any sweets for the kiddies... xD

Today I received this from a longtime friend. It really hit home. We are bombarded with so much negativity and cynicism these days, this really helped put things into perspective at least for a little while. I decided to pass it along to my other family all of you at SST. For what its worth
THE Charlie Schulz Philosophy
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.
Don't actually answer the questions. Just read the next 6 questions straight through, and you'll get the point. (Granted, these are American-oriented.)
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, very few of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.
But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one: (And these are
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special!!
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials.. the most money...or the most awards.
They simply are the ones who care the most.
Consider passing this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow somewhere in the world!

I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew?
Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.
Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.
Here are some of the uses:
1) Protects silver from tarnishing.
2) Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery.
5) Keeps flies off cows.
6) Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7) Removes lipstick stains.
Loosens stubborn zippers.
9) Untangles jewelry chains.
10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12) Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13) Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14) Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16) Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor!
19) Bug guts will eat away the finish cars if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21) Lubricates gear shift & mower deck lever on riding mowers.
22) Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
23) Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.
24) Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25) Restores & cleans leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers.
26) Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27) Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, & bicycles for easy handling.
29) Lubricates fan belts on washers & dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31) Removes splattered grease on stove.
32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35) Removes all traces of duct tape.
36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37) Florida's favorite use is: "cleans & removes love bugs from grills & bumpers."
Favorite use in NY WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose.
40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately & stops the itch.
41) Great for removing crayon from walls. Spray the mark & wipe
42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL
P. P. S. I keep a can of WD-40 in my kitchen cabinet over the stove. It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.

This museum is a celebration of fascinating devices that don't work. It houses diverse examples of the perverse genius of inventors who refused to let their thinking be intimidated by the laws of nature, remaining optimistic in the face of repeated failures. Watch and be amazed as we bring to life eccentric and even intricate perpetual motion machines that have remained steadfastly unmoving since their inception. Marvel at the ingenuity of the human mind, as it reinvents the square wheel in all of its possible variations. Exercise your mind to puzzle out exactly why they don't work as the inventors intended.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

Talking quantities... how much is...?
At least we know it's more than... -Some very technological terminology.
They did miss my favorite from my middle school life, GRIP. Got a grip of paper I can borrow?
* a few
* a couple (although this can have the specific value 2, it is also used less precisely)
* couple-few or coupla-few
* some-odd
* bunch, as in "a whole bunch of...". Generally confined to American English use[citation needed].
* several
* many
* n-something. Used especially to indicate someone's age within a decade, e.g., twentysomething.
* eleventy-; e.g., eleventy-four. Occasionally used to mean 110.
* lots
* scads
* heaps
* buckets
* loads (also truckloads, busloads, etc.)
* oodles
* tons (occasionally refers to multiples of 2000)
* mumblety, especially to conceal an exact value, as in "I shall be mumblety-two this year"

"Film buffs look forward to the Academy Awards to see which movies win, but here at Epicurious, we're more interested in planning the food and drink for our television-side gathering. Hoping to satisfy both film lovers and foodies, we've created menus based on this year's Best Picture nominees. Some of our meal plans feature specific dishes that make an appearance in the film: In the classic New Orleans supper we put together for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, we've included a Sazerac, which is the main character's first cocktail. Other menus speak to the people and places in the film. For Slumdog Millionaire, which takes place in India, we've gathered dishes and drinks from that country, while for Frost/Nixon, a movie about a British journalist interviewing an American former president, we choose U.S. and U.K. favorites."

You think English is easy???
Read to the end .. . . A new twist
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce .
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row ...
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't grocer and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this .
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that it's UP.'
It's easy to understand UP,meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to dress UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning. but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP ! To be knowledgeable about the proper use of UP , look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP...
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP .
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........it is time to shut UP!
Oh . . . one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night? U P

Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 2:38 am Post subject: Household Hint Really
In chat a certain Moderator type fella said he would like to know more about how a dryer sheet can be used around the house. Here is a huge list. Summer is coming and who knew a dryer sheet could help keep biting bugs and bees away from your picnic?.... OH you did not!!! put your hand down!
Creative Uses for Dryer Sheets
Here is a list of alternate handy uses for fabric softener dryer sheets you might find handy:
1. A sheet will repel mosquitoes on your patio. Hang a sheet when outdoors during the mosquito season.
2. Eliminates static electricity from your television and computer screen. Fabric softener sheets are designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television and computer screen with a used sheet to keep dust from resettling.
3. A sheet can be used to dissolve soap scum from shower doors, and the tile walls. Clean the surfaces with a sheet.
4. A fragranced sheet can be used to freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet in a drawer, hang one in the closet, locker at the health club, locker at work or under the seat of your car or truck. Leave several in the RV or camper while it's in storage.
5. A sewing needle run through a sheet prior to sewing, can prevent the thread from tangling.
6. A sheet left inside suitcase luggage or travel baggage can prevent musty odors. Place a single sheet inside the empty luggage before storing.
7. Fabric softener sheets are claimed to clean baked on foods from cooking pots and pans. Place a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight. Next morning sponge it clean. The antistatic agent apparently weakens the bond between the stuck on food between the pot or pans surface. The fabric softening agents helps to soften the baked on food.
8. Placing a sheet at the bottom of the wastebasket, helps eliminate odors found in wastebaskets. Placing an individual sheet at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper will accomplish the same results.
9. Collecting pet hairs. Rubbing the area with a sheet will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
10. Eliminating static electricity from venetian blinds and window coverings. Wipe the blinds with a sheet is said to prevent dust from resettling.
11. Wiping up sawdust, on the shop workbench, from drilling or sandpapering is easy. A used sheet will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
12. They will take the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.
13. Placing a sheet in your shoes or sneakers overnight, will help to deodorize them and as a result they will smell much better in the AM.
Might be some doubles.. I read them quickly.
1. Dusting: used dryer sheets can knock the dust off nearly any surface, including furniture, blinds, car interiors, baseboards/molding. Also works for on saw dust and drywall compound.
2. Keep bugs away: Tuck some in your picnic basket or under lawn furniture to repel bees from your juicy flesh and encourage them back to the flowers, where they belong. You can also rub a sheet directly on your bare skin to discourage would- be buggers from leaving their mark.
3. Keep your clothes fresh: tuck a few fabric-sheets in your drawers to keep that just-washed smell happening for weeks. Throw one in your dirty clothes hamper to prevent any rampant, residual odors from escaping into your bedroom.
4. Scrub your showers: Lightly wet a used dryer sheet, and scrub to remove soap build-up and mineral deposits.
5. Freshen your home: Place (or tape) a dryer sheet on your HVAC vents to scent the air circulating through your home. You can even place one alongside your filter in your central heating unit to distribute the scent. Also works on ceiling fans, and on the back of box/portable fans.
6. Reduce static cling: already mentioned
7. De-stink your pets: already mentioned
8. Clean your laundry room: When you finish drying a load, hold on to the dryer sheet, and wipe down the inside of your dryers drum, your lint trap, the outside of your washing machine and dryer, and scrub away any excess or spilt laundry detergent.
9. Scrub the bugs from your car: Summer drives often equal insect gut polka dots all over your autos body and windshield. Simply wet your car down, and use a dryer sheet to scrub away carnage with ease.
10. Wipe up hair: The cling of a dryer sheet is perfect to wipe up pet hair from your furniture, or even your own hair from your bathroom.
11. In your shoes: mentioned
12. While traveling: Place a few dryer sheets in between items in your suitcase to keep both your clothes fresh and to prevent your items from picking up any mustiness from old luggage.
13. In your crafts: Use dryer sheets to add texture to cards, scrapbooks, etc. Also use for reinforcement in appliqué and quilting work.
14. For diapers: Keep your used dryer sheets in your diaper bag, and roll one up in the diaper to prevent odors before you have to chance to throw it away.
15. In the kitchen: Soak cookware with burnt or baked-on food in warm water, with a dryer sheet or two. Makes clean-up easier than youd expect. Also works on cook tops and dingy cabinet doors.
16. Clean paint brushes: Soak your used paintbrushes in warm water with a dryer sheet, and that pesky latex paint will come off in under a minute.
17. In books: mentioned
18. In toilet paper: Roll up a dryer sheet in your toilet paper roll. Each time you spin, it releases a little freshness into your bathroom.
19. As you sleep: keep a fabric-softener sheet in your pillow case and under your mattress or mattress pad for sweet dreams of summer all year round.
20. While sewing: use a dryer sheet to store your needles while threaded to keep them from tangling, for paper piecing whilst you quilt, and for backing for embroidery.
21. Repel rodents: Use dryer sheets to keep out mice, skunks, squirrels, rats, etc from your basement, garages, boats, campers, and clubhouses.
22. In your car: stash dryer sheets under your car seats and floor mats, and in your glove box and trunk for fresh scents as you travel.
23. At work: Hide dryer sheets in drawers, behind computers, and in cabinetry to keep your workspace fresh, and combat your co-workers awful perfume or stale cigarette scent.
24. In you vacuum cleaner: Place a dryer sheet in your vacuum bag or dust containment unit. As the hot air moves as you vacuum, youll bulk up your cleaning efforts. (Make sure this is in NO WAY a fire hazard)
25. In storage: tuck dryer sheets in your rarely used items such as luggage, camping gear, sports equipment, or specialty craft or kitchen items to prevent the inevitable smells of basements, attics, and garages.

One of my favorite bad guys.
Here are some Goofs from the movie HOOK.
* Revealing mistakes: Wires clearly visible when old Peter first re-learns to fly.
* Continuity: The bedsheet tent is knocked down as the children are kidnapped, but set up by the time Peter has a drink.
* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When Capt. Hook sees the pocket watch that Jack has, it shows 7:42. A few seconds later, it shows 7:39. Time runs backwards, and at a variable pace, in Neverland.
* Continuity: When Peter leaves Neverland in the charge of one of the Lost Boys, he takes out his sword twice.
* Continuity: An exterior shot shows the plane is a Boeing 747, but the interior is of a narrow body aircraft.
* Continuity: When the dog digs the telephone in, the antenna is out and it is open. When Peter digs it out after returning from Neverland, he pulls out the antenna and opens it to take the call.
* Revealing mistakes: Cordless phone buried by dog is clearly a toy phone (display is a sticker).
* Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In the showdown between the Lost Boys and the pirates on the pirate ship, the sun is directly behind both of the two facing groups - there are two suns and two moons in Neverland.
* Crew or equipment visible: When Hook's hook is put on after it is carried thru the Neverland Docks, and the sparks are going off, the crew and some equipment can be seen in its reflective surface.
* Crew or equipment visible: Reflection of camera visible in window handle when it is being opened.
* Revealing mistakes: Throughout the movie, evidence of the flying rigs is visible. This is especially noticeable at the end when you can see the bump caused by Tootle's harness.
* Continuity: Hook's glasses disappear between shots when he is standing very close to Peter on the ship.
* Revealing mistakes: When Hook drags his hook across Peter's arm during the fight, the tip appears to bend.
* Continuity: When Hook slices Peter's arm with his hook, the hook is pulled down across his arm one way, yet in the next shot, the blood shows the cut to be at a different angle.
* Continuity: When Peter is hit in the head with a baseball he falls to the ground. When he lands his head is upon green-colored ground, in the next shot his head is upon brown-colored ground.
* Continuity: When Peter starts to fight the pirates on the ship, the first is kicked between two barrels. He's on his stomach, but in the next shot transfers to his right side, and in the next to his left side.
* Continuity: The watch that Peter gave Jack changes times between shots, from 7:35 to 7:50.
* Continuity: In the food fight the food covering Peter and the Lost Boys changes between shots. For example when Rufio throws the coconut the food on everyone immediately looks much dryer than before, and some of them have clean patches around their eyes that weren't there seconds earlier, these are both very noticeable on Peter.
* Continuity: When the children are hanging in the net and Peter is trying to reach them, in the shot where Maggie says "Come on Daddie, Mommie could do it," she has both arms reaching out and Jack only his right arm. But as the next shot, from above, starts only Maggie's right arm and Jack's left are seen reaching out.
* Continuity: As Peter starts to climb the ship's mast to reach his children, the net they are hanging in is swinging, but in the next shot, a close-up of the net, it's completely still.
* Revealing mistakes: As Peter attempts a front flip over the wall on returning home, when placing his hands on the snow covered wall top the whole row of snow moves slightly like a stiff solid, and his hands do not go into the thick snow even though he pushes down on it to jump.
A good sound track will let me relive the movie, I can cry over them as well. Hand me the tissues...please.

This from a grandfather friend of mine.
My Twitter Don't Tweet
Things are spiraling out of control. I think I have become lost in a world of electronic madness.
One of my sons informed me this week that my cell phone has become obsolete and I must head down to the Cell Phone store and get a phone that is contemporary with the time.
I pointed out that the fancy Razor/Slim line phone with camera built in that he made me trade my perfectly good flip-top Motorola cell phone for two years ago still works per fectly fine. Well, except for the camera thing. Never could figure that out... Even the few times I actually did take pictures I couldn't figure what to do with them and gave up.
That is except when I would push the wrong button and take a video of the ceiling or my feet.
Seems the issue is that I am unable to text with the tiny little 3 character buttons. "Hi, son," would come out looking like, "Gh Qmo." My grandkids have even spoken to me about my crazy text messages. Give me a break. What ever happened to actually talking on a phone? Isn't that what they were invented for?
They want me to get one of those phones that you can turn upside down and sideways and has a typewriter keyboard with key s about one-eighth the size of my pinky finger.
One of my four sons is a realtor whose real occupation is fly -fishing.. "Way to go, son."
Or in my text language, "Xbz um Io, rmo."
We were floating the Yakima River in his guide quality drift boat south of Ellensburg , Washington . We were miles from anything remotely resembling civilization. Rock canyon walls were on either side of us. Bear with me as I try to explain this strange thing.
His "Blackberry" rang. It was blue and I asked him why it wasn't called a Blueberry. He shook his head with that 'dealing with an elder despair' look I get a lot these days. It was another realtor who called to say that the sellers he represented had agreed to my son's client's changes and he had the signed documents in hand.
My son told him to FAX the papers to his office and he would get them signed and Faxed back, to close the deal that morning. A minute later the phone rang and he hit a few buttons and looked over the FAX, now on the Yakima River with us.
He then called his clients and told them he was Faxing the papers to them to sign and asked them to FAX them back to his office.. While he was waiting, he hooked into a fat rainbow a nd was just releasing this 22 inch beauty as his phone rang again with the signed FAX from his clients.
He called the other realtor and told him he was sending the signed papers back by FAX. The deal was closed. He smiled and just said, "You are a little behind the times, Dad." I guess I am.
I thought about the sixty million dollar a year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a Blackberry that played music, took videos, pictures and communicated with Facebook and Twitter.
I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.
That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world.
My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.
The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] p hone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Nobles talking to my wife as every one in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. Seems I have to take my hearing aid out to use it and got a little loud.
I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-ul-ating" You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then when I would make a right turn instead, it was not good.
When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.
To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.
The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop.
I bought some of those cloth re-usable bags to avoid looking confused but never remember to take them in with me.
Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual."
Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look.
A good sound track will let me relive the movie, I can cry over them as well. Hand me the tissues...please.

WD40 is awesome.
The oxymoron and English posts made perfect sense too (for a native English speaker anyway!). English isn't easy!

They've done nothing formally -- "Yet," she says -- but Sarah and her husband hold out hopes for restitution for the suffering she's endured and for the loss of her sister. Survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing and 9/11 got their due, says George -- why not her? Shoot, he adds, a bus monitor who was bullied by students came into hundreds of thousands in cash.
This is why earlier this year, she -- and Fate Morris, Cynthia Wesley's biological brother -- shunned an invitation to Washington, to be by President Barack Obama's side as he signed a bill to grant the four girls, posthumously, the Congressional Gold Medal. They wanted money, not medals, they said at the time. Months later, however, they did attend the September 10 ceremony to receive the actual medals.
There's an irony to Sarah's outlook. She feels ignored, but she doesn't like to put herself out there. When Spike Lee approached her to be in his highly acclaimed documentary about the bombing, she refused, she says, because he wouldn't pay her anything.
"That's why no one knows about me," she admits, before saying she has no regrets.
When Bern Nadette Stanis, an actress best known for her role in the TV show "Good Times," visited, saying she wanted to play the part of Sarah in a proposed stage performance about her life, Sarah took a look at the contract and refused to sign. She says it "didn't look right."
Last November, a Birmingham News article focused just on her. It is framed and featured prominently in her home.
Near it hangs something that means as much, if not more, to her. It is a large pencil drawing of the four girls, given to her at an event where she was honored, yet one more piece of art depicting what was lost. But in this one there is a fifth girl in the picture -- Sarah.
She is not in the background but instead sits front and center. And with her arm around Sarah sits Addie -- one of four girls whose deaths would spark change, touch strangers and shape the future of siblings. Though their paths may have diverged and their memories may vary, they will forever share a piece of history.

AAPC's ICD-10 Implementation Boot Camps (not to be confused with ICD-10 Code Set Training) provide comprehensive training for the transition to ICD-10. Because ICD-10 will change everything, our curriculum prepares for everything from managing all of the changes with vendors, evaluating the implications to provider contracts, software and systems updates, budgeting and training considerations, to organizing the implementation effort, ICD-10 coding cross walks and mapping.
"This boot camp was invaluable. As compared to AHIMA's instruction, the training I received through AAPC proved to be the best available for the physician side of the ICD-10-CM transition. AAPC emphasized the necessity to improve clinical documentation and communication with our physicians. AAPC speaks directly to the needs that our providers will have and I will be using their guidance throughout my employer's implementation. Thank you, AAPC!"

In the news
Congratulations to the Hofstra Health & Wellness Club for placing 1st the 2012 Issue Alley!
This year's event was held on the day of the presidential debate and provided a great opportunity for student clubs to educate others on the election-related issue that they are most passionate about. Each student organization was provided with a table to display their issues' significance to the Presidential election and the series of debates. Students presented interactive displays about the issues they care about most and promoted their causes.
Hofstra Health & Wellness club presented an interactive game called "Gamble on Your Health, Health Care 2012," which was based on the board game, LIFE. Students had the opportunity to pick a unique persona and try to collect as much money as they could to purchase health insurance and realize how difficult or easy it may be to acquire health insurance. There was an interactive roulette wheel to spin along with dice, which was part of the game. An informative Power Point Presentation provided definitions and "did you know..." facts, creatively inspired from the Books for DUMMIES. Flyers were also given out to each viewer and student that stopped by our table that laid out both Obama and Romney's health care plans. In addition, students had the chance to take a picture with Obama and Romney's head on a poster describing both of their health care plans. Also, individuals were able to express who they were voting for by our own custom sign. Pictures were instantly uploaded to Twitter (@HofForHealth) and drew in a large crowd.
You can learn more about health clubs' current events by visiting Facebook or Twitter

SEATTLE -- Excuse Pete Carroll this week if he's a bit miffed at a former college colleague.
Oregon coach Chip Kelly did no one in the NFL any favors by passing along tips to New England about how to let Tom Brady run the Patriots breakneck offense even faster.
"The fact that they've studied with Chip, and he's kind of helped, I'm still kind of [mad]," Carroll joked this week.
Brady and the Patriots (3-2) visit Seattle (3-2) on Sunday in a matchup of the NFL's top offense against the Seahawks' No. 1-ranked defense.
Last offseason, Patriots coaches spent time with Kelly's staff. They learned how the Ducks run their high-tempo offense with such efficiency, and found out what aspects might translate into the NFL.
In the hands of Brady, the modifications are pretty good.
"I think we have several different tempos that we try to play at. Sometimes you go no-huddle; sometimes we have to slow it down. It's all really a matter of how the game is going and how we feel is the best way to attack the other team," Brady said.
"Every week you go in and you have different moods of playing and plays and schemes and usually by halftime, you narrow those down and you have 30, 35 plays left in the game and those are the ones you have to hone in on. Whatever is working, that's what we're going to try to do."
Despite the always changing numbers throughout a 16-game season, matchups of the top offense facing the top defense don't come along often. And while it would seem there is very little in common between the Patriots and Seahawks, the underlying root of why New England's offense is proving so potent and Seattle's defense so stout is the same: Speed.
For New England, it's the speed at which they run plays. Last week against Denver, sometimes it took as little as 15 seconds between the end of one play and snapping the ball for the next. For Seattle, it's the speed of its pass rushers off the edge that combines with the quickness and size of their linebackers and secondary that makes it tough on opponents.
"They're going to scream at us. If they have their way, it's going to come screaming down the field at us and they are going to go as fast as you can go," Carroll said. "But they don't have any advantage over us in that, we're going to go as fast as you can go and we're well equipped to do it. We've been working at this for some time and this is the team that really takes you to the end of the extent where you have to be full speed and transition in between plays."
There hasn't been a matchup of the No. 1 offense against the No. 1 defense in Week 6 or later since the 2007 season when the top-ranked Patriots' offense overwhelmed the No. 1 defense of the Steelers in a 34-13 victory in Week 14.
And if New England wasn't potent enough with Brady flinging passes around to Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski and Brandon Lloyd, the Patriots have added a new element with the emergence of running back Stevan Ridley.
The second-year back from LSU is coming off consecutive 100-yard games and if he can add one more against the Seahawks, he'll be the first Patriots' back with three straight games over the century mark since Curtis Martin in 1995.

Nate Tayco scored four touchdowns and Rio Hondo Prep's defense shutout the potent Mission Prep offense to come-from-behind to beat the Royals 28-21 to capture its second-straight CIF Northeast Division title Friday night in Arcadia.
The Royals led 21-14 at the half on a last-second touchdown catch by Joey Hall, his second TD reception of the game.
The Royals scored first on a 60 yard touchdown strike from quarterback Tyler Baty to Hall in the first quarter. Rio Hondo Prep scored on a 1 yard run from Tayco to tie it 14-7. He scored later in the quarter to give the host Kares a 14-7 lead after the first quarter.
Patrick Laird intercepted a Rio Hondo pass and ended up cashing it in with a 5 yard TD run in the second quarter to tie the game 14-14. Baty hit Hall for the 24th and final time of the season to close out the first half.
Rio Hondo outscored Mission 14-0 in the second half behind two TD runs from Tayco. Mission had the ball and was driving and at the Rio Hondo 21 yard line with about five minutes to play in the fourth quarter trying to tie the game. But Baty fumbled the snap and Rio Hondo Prep recovered it. The Kares ran out the clock to seal the victory.
Tayco finished with 173 yards and 4 touchdowns on 28 carries.
Baty completed 14 of his 25 passes for 230 yards and 2 touchdowns. Hall caught 10 passes for 166 yards and 2 TDs. Michael Cardwell rushed for 69 yards on 11 carries, while Laird ran for 66 yards on 16 carries.
Rio Hondo won its 14th CIF title in program history and second-straight championship. The Kares also avenged an earlier season 47-14 loss to Mission Prep.
The Royals finished the season 11-2 after making their first appearance in the CIF title game since 1964. Baty finished his incredible senior year with 45 touchdown passes, while Hall ended up with 24 TD catches and 26 overall.

Top Teachers: Todd Ritter
Henrico H.S., drama
It was a circuitous path that led Todd Ritter to his job teaching drama and technical theatre at Henrico High. But after 11 years, he still views it as "the best job in the world." Prior to teaching, during his 15 years in professional theatre, he noticed that student volunteers or interns were often the hardest workers at the theaters where he spent time. "Their wide-eyed appreciation for theatre was always so refreshing," he recalled. When he moved to Richmond, Ritter was asked to be the guest artist at the Center for the Arts and immensely enjoyed working with the students there. After two years, the previous teacher moved on, and suggested Ritter apply for the job. Today, he sees artistic endeavor and study as the glue that holds education together. "Without art education, we lose perspective. Art can be the spark in a child that brings them back to their desks the next day." In many respects, said Ritter, his job entails helping parents and students understand that "art does not occur in a vacuum," and that playwrights, artist, dancers and songwriters are influenced by the world and events around them. "We as artists cannot help but let the outside world mold what we do as artists," he said. "Therefore, it is essential to study history and other art forms in order to gain perspective." One of his favorite teaching memories, in fact, involved a sophomore who came running into his class many years ago. "Mr. Ritter!" the student said. "We were talking about the Greeks in history today, and I completely understood what the teacher was talking about because of your lectures last year!" Another thing he enjoys about the job is working with "my fellow teachers – some of the most dedicated and passionate teachers that I have ever met." Among the role models who have inspired him in college and beyond, he said, is the center's past director, Lee Hanchey. "If I can do half the things that she accomplished as a teacher, I know I will be a success," he said. Parents, he said, have also made his job much easier; some are so "fiercely loyal" that they continue to support and help him years after their child has graduated. On the other hand, there are many parents he has never met, or has only met at graduation – even though in many cases he has worked with their child for four years. He can't help wishing that more parents understood how crucial it is to be involved all the way through high school. "As a father of two very young children," he said, "I already understand where they are coming from. By the time your child reaches high school you have served on enough committees, bought enough wrapping paper and baked enough cookies for two lifetimes. "But as a high school teacher I wish they could hold on for just a few more years." High school students may be young adults, but they still need guidance and encouragement – as evidenced by the senior whose mind he changed about college. "[The student] felt that they didn't stand a chance of getting in, but after much persuasion, they tried and got accepted. "Whenever I think back to that moment," said Ritter, "I know that I made a difference, and I use that feeling to drive me when I get really stressed at work." |

I've built a fantastic reporting tool that can be sold to small to medium size companies.
ReportingMate is the only reporting software I know that doesn't use report designers and allows developers to provide live, interactive data to users. Basically it makes the life of developers and business users much easier.
I put a lot of effort building the application and comes complete with source code (C#), detailed manual and web site. The application is ready to be sold right away. I even have the payment gateway setup.
I realized I can't sell it myself lacking the necessary experience and energy. I'm looking to sell it to someone that can promote it and make money out of it.
What are my options here? What should I do?
Thanks, Steve

What is the treatment for a torn ACL?
Comment on this
The major decision in treating a torn ACL is whether the patient would benefit from surgery to repair the injury. The surgeon and the patient need to discuss the level of activity that was present before the injury, what the patient expects to do after the injury has healed, the general health of the patient, and whether the patient is willing to undertake the significant physical therapy and rehabilitation required after an operation. Nonsurgical treatment may be appropriate for patients who are less active, do not participate in activities that require running, jumping or pivoting, and who would be interested in physical therapy to return range of motion and strength to match the uninjured leg. The anterior cruciate ligament can be reconstructed using arthroscopic surgery. There are a variety of techniques, depending on the type of tear and what other injuries may be associated. The decision as to what surgical option is appropriate is individualized and tailored to a patient's specific situation. Physical therapy is the mainstay of rehabilitation and therapy regardless of whether or not an operation is performed. The quadriceps and hamstring muscles "shut down" and weaken with any knee injury and strengthening exercises are needed. Return of range of motion is also a key component of therapy. Medications Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Aleve), or ketorolac (Toradol), may be suggested to decrease swelling and pain. Narcotic medications for pain, such as codeine, hydrocodone, or oxycodone (Oxycontin), may be prescribed for a short period of time after the acute injury and shortly after surgery.

The trick is to fill it with sand before heating the plastic and bending it. Normally, the pipe would pinch closed in areas where it is bent, but the sand prevents that. When the heat forming is finished, you just drain out the sand.
Step 1: Safety while heating PVC
Vinyl Chloride, one of the components of PVC, is carcinogenic. When it is locked up in the polymer, however, it is much safer to be around. In my years of experience working with PVC, I have not noticed any adverse effects on my health from being around it.
Always work in areas with good ventilation. If you do get caught in a cloud of smoke, hold your breath and move to clean air.
When heating PVC with a gas stove or propane torch, try not to let it burn. Smoke from burning PVC is bad. With experience one burns it less and less. Don't panic the first time you do burn some. It scorches, but doesn't immediately burst into flame. Move the material away from the flame and try again. Don't breathe the smoke. Smoke avoidance comes naturally for most people.
While heating PVC over a gas flame, keep the plastic an appropriate distance from the flame to avoid scorching the surface before the inside can warm up. It takes time for heat to travel to the center of the material being heated.
Keep the plastic moving, and keep an eye on the state of the plastic. When heated, the PVC material is flexible, like leather. Beyond this stage, you risk scorching it.
A word from James, the plastic engineer -- "Just a word of warning, PVC can handle some high heats but if it catches fire, you wont be able to put it out, it does not need oxygen to burn so don't do this inside".
I do work inside, but my house is made of cement and has good ventilation. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE GOOD VENTILATION. PLAY WITH FIRE -- CAREFULLY.
1-40 of 110 | Next » |
I agree that there are no known health benefits to breathing burning plastic. The art, not a difficult one to learn, is to not burn the plastic when you soften it. Yes, good ventilation is always important.
If forced to burn PVC will not produce chlorine but will emit dense acrid fumes containing noxious and toxic compounds including carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride and possibly dioxins.
However PVC will not burn on its own, it needs continuous applied heat to char it.
Also, do you think this method would work with copper piping? I need to bend some into a radiator shape but I can't figure out how.
If you had a spring the right size then you could use it with heat for bending PVC pipe.
You can play with fire and not get burned. You just have to be careful. Keep work moving to avoid hot spots, and at an appropriate distance from the flame.
If you want to bend pipe into an exactly repeatable curve, you need something round to bend it around. Ideal would be a shape like a pulley wheel with a channel for the pipe to be pulled into as you wrap it around. That would help reduce flattening on the inside, keeping the pipe cross-section rounder.
You might be able to make such a round pulley wheel shape out of wood, if you have a router to gouge out the channel in the wood. That gets pretty high-tec with the need for tools, though.
The Pipe Viper looks great for bends 30" apart giving leverage to put a bend in PVC. I wonder about bending tight offsets though. A 3" inch offset requires 30 degree bends 6" a part. Add other tight bends in a 10' conduit & you'd have to be superman. It looks like a great tool & I don't understand why the Electrical suppliers haven't pushed it.
As far as I can tell, it is just as strong after bending as before. Chemically, I don't think you break any of the polymer chains by softening the plastic, or bending it.
Yes, it seems to be just as springy.
It doesn't become brittle.
Interestingly, it does seem to have some "memory" of its original shape. If you heat it up again, it tends to return to the way it was.
I imagine the original shape was a liquid mass of goo, but the first time it is shaped is as pipe. If you just soften it to stretch it, heat it again and it unstretches.
Someone at the PVC factory told me once that they never have any 2nd quality pipe, because if it is defective, they just reprocess it. From that, I imagine that you can take solidified PVC and melt it again, probably in the absence of oxygen.
You can weld it somehow with a hot air gun and a special tip, but I never had any luck with that.
I don't know the science behind it too, but plastics tend to have a memory of the shape they were in before...
There was a video on youtube that showed someone heating a yoghurt cup in an oven and it returned to the disk like shape they melt to form the cups...
Wikipedia also mentions that it's a thermoplastic.
As I recall, the idea was to stick the PVC pipe up the exhaust pipe and gradually bend it, making the angle appear at the end of the exhaust pipe.
Years ago, I read of some Boy Scout leader who built a little oven around the exhaust pipe. They put food in at the beginning of a trip and it was ready when they arrived. Seems like it would have to be gas tight to avoid contamination of the food. Anyway, it seems like a creative use for exhaust heat.

In the wake of the horrific Connecticut shootings, there's been a lot of talk about gun control and violence in entertainment. Certainly these are pertinent issues.
But an issue we won't hear much about, particularly on television, is responsible journalism. Not long after the first responders arrived at the crime scene, regular programming began to be interrupted by "preliminary information" that, in all important particulars, proved false. The electronic media representatives feigned sympathy for the victims and their families, but any concerns they may have had were apparently erased by the fear of getting scooped.
Then came the nonstop coverage, with all major media outlets camped out in tiny Newtown, filling the long gaps between meaningful information with endless prattle and pundits interviewing law-enforcement consultants, grief counselors and other pundits. The more-enterprising of this gaggle scored interviews with eyewitnesses and photos of shattered family members hearing the bad news.
Is any of this warranted? True, this was a big story. But did it really justify the same treatment as, say, the moon landing or 9/11?
It seems to me that the last thing the residents of Newtown needed at such a traumatic time was an army of reporters shoving microphones in their faces and taking pictures of them in their most vulnerable moments. And most of the reporting was about emotions, not facts.
Since when did the focus of journalism become, "How did you feel about it?" instead of who, what, why, when and how? The frenzy reached truly absurd proportions when our local media started sending reporters to Connecticut. What purpose, other than promoting the local stations, could this possibly have served?
If the only effects of this excess were invasion of the victims' privacy and annoyance of viewers, that would be one thing. But think about the effect on that tiny but real population of deranged individuals capable of committing such crimes.
There seems to have been a "can you top this?" aspect to the recent litany of carnage. To the extent that these troubled, often marginalized, people are seeking attention, the electronic media seem more than willing to serve it up, all in the interest of ratings.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Crock-Pot Versaware Pro Slow Cooker SCV1600B-SS
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
What makes this six-quart unit special is a crock that can be used on the stovetop to brown meats or veggies before slow cooking to add depth of flavor to the finished dish. The crock doesnt heat as evenly as a skillet, so youll need to stir as you brown, but the big bonus is youll have one less pot to clean. The Versaware can be programmed to cook on low or high for 30 minutes to 20 hours and after cooking will automatically switch to a warm setting. The versatile insert can also be placed in the fridge to store a fully cooked dish, and then popped in the oven or microwave for reheating. The crock can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher. The very helpful manual offers more than 50 recipes for a variety of foods. Like its Crock-Pot cousins, it offers top-notch consumer service. (crockpot.com)crock-pot.com.

A brilliant city
We were in the city thinking it is one of our last Eurotrip destinations and a cheap one. But with the kind of atmosphere and sightseeing it had, we wouldn't have minded paying like we did in Paris or Scandinavian countries. The partying culture is brilliant too.
Insider Tip:Go to Szimpla pub - It is worth the money

Beautiful Functional Rug April 12, 2010
"Bought 3 of the Sorrento rugs. Very attractive and tough. One in front of the fireplace because I read that sisal is naturally fire resistant. I think the runner will look beautiful in our foyer. Looks awesome with the black border. Looks to be well binded and the latex backing is great - no sliding around on the floor."
Love these rugs! January 21, 2009
"I bought 2 rugs for my bedroom. They are beautiful. The color is very rich & I think thye look more expensive than they are. I will purchase from this company again."

I am currently a student studying psychology, which is almost my entire life at the moment. Though psychology is fascinating, nothing makes me happier than music, whether it's playing it or listening to it!
I am a newbie to drinking tea, but am enjoying the switch from coffee (I only drink coffee now when I need to work long hours). After drinking loose leaf teas, I cannot go back to tea bags. I like all varieties, though not the most fond of green tea. I think this website is great, as I can expand in trying new teas!
