I just want to add that these Natural Cleaners are a lot cheaper than the Poisons cleaning companies sell.
The small Rant and the tips were awesome thanks for posting.
Peace & Go Green .the FairyHealer .+*+*+*+
Small Rant - Then on to the good stuff -
With the major companies that create home cleaning products which have been contributing to global chemical toxicity now jumping on the "Green" bandwagon I though I'd offer some advice that actually really is Green.
I'm not so trusting of companies like SC Johnson who are now promoting their "Green" windex with their own "Green Label" they have recently created to fool consumers. Their "Green Label" is simply a Trademark they developed to convince people they have been protecting the environment for years. They even have commercials trying to convince people (and I'm sure it's working), that they have been conscious of the environment for a long time. I don't buy the claim that the founder of SC Johnson, decades ago, was concerned with the environment, and focussed on developing products that are environmentally friendly. Have you seen some of the harsh chemicals they have created over the years? All the while people buy them and pour them down their toilets for a "fresh clean feeling."
I'm glad people are finally waking up to start caring for the environment, but also frustrated that the huge conglomerates jump on the bandwagon (as they always do) and make claims that falsely mislead consumers. With their millions of dollars they've collected from their toxic products they are now able to promote on television that choosing their products has been the right choice all along - After all they have done to contribute to global pollution for so many years.
Those harsh chemicals that have erosion warnings, and often require windows to be open or wearing a mask, obviously arent good for your health, and are just as bad for the health of the earth. Do you really want to keep adding these chemicals to the earth every time you clean or freshen your air? It can really add up to millions of tons of chemicals poured into the earth when you think yourself and other people all over the place are doing this every time you clean. And where does it go but back into the waterways and into the soil and air. What kind of impact are you having on the earth each time you contribute these chemicals to the earth? Does it makes sense to put your money toward the continued production of these chemicals for more people to pollute with? When giving money to these companies it is further supporting the continued production of fancy packaged bottles, clever commercials that lure consumers into giving more money to them for a continuous cycle of big profits for the companies that leads to serious detriment of the earth.
Here's the good stuff - My suggestion - Use Nature to Clean.
Instead of using harsh chemicals that pollute our waterways, our earth and drinking water, clean your environment using nature.
Easy, Quick, Low Cost Staples of Effective Green Cleaning
Vinegar Powerful, cheap and effective, this highly acidic plant fermented liquid is so effective, itll clear away germs in no time. Used for years before chemicals became the way of the world, on floors, counter tops, sinks, toilets, everywhere you usually use those harsh unnatural chemicals. Essential oils used with this powerful cleaner not only make it smell more pleasant but actually have their own powerful germ combating powers.
Baking Soda inexpensive and natural cleaner used for scrubbing. It eliminates odors by neutralizing both acids and bases to stabilize the pH level. Add it too Vinegar for a foamy scrub or use it on its own with a bit of water to scrub away soap scum and mineral deposits. Pour it down your sink, then add vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes then rinse away.
Essential Oils - are powerful, highly concentrated botanical extracts that can be used in a multitude of ways including cleaning your home. They contribute to a natural, organic way of dealing with cleanliness from applications to surfaces to purifying the air. They have the added bonus of smelling good while you clean instead of emitting toxic fumes. And you can freshen your air with real Plants! That makes a lot more sense than spraying chemicals all around your room then breathing them in!
Add 10-15 drops of your choice of an essential oil or combination to Vinegar and/or Baking soda when cleaning your home.
Essential oils work excellent added to Baking Soda and sprinkled on your carpet for a powerful deodorizing action naturally. Mix in a few drops, before adding to your carpet, then vacuum in 20 minutes.
You can also use some natural dish soap for a sudsy cleaning method with the addition of 10-15 drops of essential oils for their powerful cleaning benefits.
For a quick wipe down anytime use concentrated botanical area sprays directly on the kitchen and bathroom surfaces or sprayed around garbage receptacles.
These Botanical Oils are Highly Useful for Natural Green Cleaning
Pine Excellent used in the bathroom around toilets, sinks, floors, counter tops. Effectively natural cleaning action with a sweet, woodsy scent.
Eucalyptus Used in the washroom, around garbage cans, on counter tops, this botanical is highly effective and works excellent with a few drops added to a tissue paper and placed in your vacuum bag to help purify the air when the air is filled with germs. Eucalyptus has a powerful, fresh, menthol like scent.
Oregano and Thyme Very similar in their use for cleaning, these botanicals will burn away germs in seconds, they are so powerful and concentrated. They are ultra hot, spicy herbs to the touch, so be sure not to get them on your hands. These herbal extracts are strong, sharp, and herbaceous and go to work right away.
Tea Tree This popular essential oil is not only used by people for breakouts, blemishes and cleaning cuts, but works well as an all purpose cleaner in the kitchen and washroom. A fresh, clean, bright scent with a hint of lemon aroma.
Lemon (or other citrus oils such as Lime, Mandarin, Grapefruit) Another great cleaner works well used with Eucalyptus for a really fresh cleaning action. Lemon Eucalyptus (another species of Eucalyptus tree leaf extract) is used in much the same way Lemon and Eucalyptus are used in cleaning. For washrooms, around toilets and added to baking soda scrubs.
Be creative. Mix essential oils for a great cleaning experience - (usually Top and Middle Notes for cleaning)
All these essential oils work really well as cleaning agents when combined with Vinegar and Baking soda and they smell good. A small bottle of essential oils will last a long time because a little goes along way. With their high concentrations a few drops does the job well. Certain area sprays work well for their quick and easy use to wipe down areas like toilet seats and bowls.
Because essential oils are so concentrated its important to wash your hands right away if they come into contact with your skin undiluted. Keep out of reach of children and use common sense precautions. Keep out of eyes and do not ingest.
Be good to the Earth by being conscious of your choices and actions. Everything you do has its impact somewhere, somehow. Choosing natural options that come from the earth is simple to do and its worth it.
Namaste Everyone.

Thanks a million for posting these. I've been using baking soda and vinegar for years expecially since I'm very sensitive to chemicals. The essential oil tips are great, all my favorite essential oils are listed.

text: CHELSEA VS. LIVERPOOLPOSTED: 4 May 2012 CHELSEA VS. LIVERPOOL So it's down to 2 for the FA Cup and even if it pains me to say this, I dont think Liverpool have that much of a chance. That performance against Fulham was massively disappointing and embarrassing for any Liverpool fan. Whoever thinks they can beat Chelsea by doing that is either mental or dreaming. The worst part of this is Liverpool can destroy big teams, in big competitions, when it matters. I reckon someone should remind Kenny Dalglish of how much THIS match matters. Also I think that as far as things go, this could be the biggest match for Liverpool this season. Chelsea have been monsters on the football pitch and honestly it would take a miracle for the Reds to somehow pull this off. Not saying they can't, mind you. Chelsea would have to run out of steam sometime. But not for the FA Cup, I reckon. Full support for the Reds. But Di Matteo's men deserve this title much more. Money's on them for this one. Sorry Liverpool fans, maybe next year. Verdict: Chelsea win |

Bridge Banter: Chelsea fans remain hopeful but midfield was purposeless against Mancheter United
10:50am Friday 30th August 2013 in Sport By Tim Harrison
Jose Mourinho may have failed to make it three wins in three games, but he's quietly satisfied with the point that keeps the Blues at the top of the Premier League.
The frantic last-minute panicky blitz of swaps, switches and purchases as the transfer window creaks shut means the leading contenders for the title are still in a state of uncertainty.
It makes match predictions more of a lottery, but for fans it's also a lot of fun.
There are always odd results at the start of any season, as new team-mates get used to playing together.
But Cardiff's win over many people's favourites for the title, Manchester City, has really stirred things up.
The fact that Chelsea and Manchester United played to a 0-0 stalemate at Old Trafford on the bank holiday was disappointing.
Mourinho's tactic – flooding the pitch with midfielders to shut down United's attacks – may have worked, but it wasn't pretty.
It means that David Moyes has still not overcome The Special One in seven Premier League encounters.
With Fernando Torres, Romelu Lukaku and Demba Ba all left out of the starting line-up, Chelsea looked a bit purposeless in midfield. Privately all three must have been seething that no striker was deemed worthy of the occasion.
Arsenal have recovered from a poor start and looked good against Fulham at a sodden Craven Cottage, and Spurs and Liverpool can both take encouragement from results.
But it's at Stamford Bridge where fans still nurse the big hopes. The manager's cocky self-belief is infectious, and last season's fractured, stressful in-fighting has been replaced by a sense of relief that everyone seems to be pulling in the same direction.
After the Super Cup clash with Bayern Munich in Prague, there's a bit of a lull until the Blues travel to Moyes's old team, Everton, on September 14.
Time to work on accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative.

Billerica residents push for new high school building
Residents who favor building a new Billerica Memorial High School on Nov. 22 filed a statement of organization with the town clerk's office to form a ballot question committee called "Building Billerica's Future." Jennifer Cedrone, vice president of the Hajjar Elementary School Parents Association, will serve as chairwoman of the group. Town Meeting last month approved the establishment of a 16-member high school building committee and the appropriation of $2 million for a feasibility study of the dilapidated high school, which opened in 1955. The town is seeking support for the project from the Massachusetts School Building Authority; the feasibility study is a necessary step to secure state funding. Architects and engineers with the School Building Authority visited the high school Oct. 16 to evaluate its condition and assess capacity issues. The next step in the process would be an invitation from the School Building Authority to submit a feasibility study. Notification is expected to come in January, at about the same time Building Billerica's Future is planning to hold an official kickoff event.

Somerville poised to grow along Green Line
SOMERVILLE — Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone stood on a bridge in Union Square that can be seen from Prospect Hill, where George Washington ordered his troops to raise the Grand Union flag on New Year's Day in 1776. The new Union Square station, part of the $1.43 billionGreen Line extension, will be completed in 2017. From the bridge, Curtatone pointed to a gritty metal scrapyard and a used radiator shop next to a set of commuter rail tracks. "This will change," said Curtatone, looking over the 3.8-acre site, where up to 600,000 square feet of new development is expected — buildings as high as 10 stories — with the subway stop as its hub. "It's the transformation that we all dreamed about."
Nick Bona a two-way force for Super Bowl-bound Bishop Fenwick
As the final seconds ticked away in host Bishop Fenwick's 36-27 Thanksgiving Day win over the Pingree School, a referee approached Fenwick head coach Dave Woods. "He told me he's done games all over — Xaverian, BC High, Central Catholic — and he said Nick Bona is the best two-way player he'd seen in Eastern Mass," recalled the 16-year head coach. I told him, "I'm not going to argue with that." Bona has been the rock, and unquestioned leader, of an 11-0 squad that will play Northbridge (9-2) in Saturday's Division 5 Super Bowl at Gillette Stadium. At quarterback, the senior captain has passed for 1,300-plus yards while running for 900 more. At weakside linebacker, he has racked up 198 tackles, breaking his own school record (171) set last fall. He is only 5-feet-8, 150 pounds.
Melrose's Greg Crovo an indispensable defenseman for Saint Anselm hockey
The whistles, calls to the bench, and line shifts come to a grinding halt in certain situations for the Saint Anselm College men's hockey team. If the Hawks have a one-goal lead, and the puck is in their zone, Greg Crovo will be on the ice. "If we have a penalty to kill that may win or lose a game for us, he's the first to go out," said Saint Anselm coach Ed Seney. "That's what he brings to the table." The senior from Melrose is a backbone on the blue line, and his experience – as well as the trust that Seney has in him – reflects that. Crovo entered this season as a co-captain, his third straight year carrying the leadership mantle (he was an alternate his sophomore year).
Communities welcome expanded state dollars for preservation projects
Chelmsford, Dracut, and North Andover are getting added help from the state to carry out preservation projects supported by the Community Preservation Act. The state recently announced a significant increase this year in the matching dollars that will go to cities and towns that have adopted the act's property tax surcharge. Statewide, 148 communities, including 21 in this region, will receive a 52 percent first round match this year, nearly double last year's level of nearly 27 percent. Those that have adopted the maximum 3 percent surcharge will receive more money through two additional funding rounds. The expanded state support will mean $211,400 more for Chelmsford, $193,546 for Dracut, and $401,525 for North Andover. "It was a welcome increase," Ann Vandal, Dracut's interim town manager said of the town's expanded funding "The Community Preservation Committee has done a lot of good with the fund we have. Now we have an opportunity to continue to use the funds wisely."
Where dispenseries may be located

Malls in the south suburbs pull out stops to draw foot traffic
After the Hanover Mall closed on the night of Nov. 13, a crew of flight mechanics set to work building a Cessna 150. Now, the two-seater, fixed-wing tricycle plane sits like an enormous toy outside the Sears in the mall's east concourse. The stunt was meant as a promotion for Plymouth's Pilgrim Aviation company, which is offering flying lessons as a holiday gift. But mall management saw the plane as an opportunity. "We knew this would be dramatic and bring in buzz, and it's definitely drawn some people down to that wing of the mall," said Lisa Berardinelli, assistant manager for the Hanover Mall. Online retail sales can eat into the returns of brick-and-mortar stores. With online sales continuing to rise, malls are doing what they can to draw foot traffic.

Blood drive at the library
The public library is hosting a community blood drive on Dec. 9 from 1 to 6 p.m. The American Red Cross will be conducting the drive in the library's community room with assistance from the Friends of the Norton Public Library. At first glance, a blood drive might not seem an activity that many residents would associate with a library. But library director Lee Parker said in an interview that since regaining its state certification about a year ago — part of which involved restoring previously cut hours—the library has been looking for new ways to be a resource to the town. "We are trying to be a place where people see us as the hub of the community," she said. The increasing use of its community room for events such as the blood drive is one reflection of that effort. "We have the biggest community room in town that is available free for nonprofits to use,," Parker said, noting that other town departments also make use of the space. Expanded services have also included adding new computers, extending the library's Wi-Fi access area into its park, and providing patrons with more materials to download from the library's website.
Scituate's Shannon Brady has Bowdoin women's basketball soaring
Shannon Brady lost just one game her senior season at Scituate High, a heartbreaking 71-64 overtime defeat to Reading in the Division 2 state semifinals at TD Garden. But from that loss, though, Bowdoin College women's basketball coach Adrienne Shibles knew that she had a winner in the 6-foot Brady, who sent the game into OT with a patented right-handed hook shot that beat the buzzer. It was the signature moment of a closing 28-point, 17-rebound performance. "We had high expectations for Shannon," said Shibles. The NESCAC Rookie of the Year a year ago as a freshman, Brady has powered the Polar Bears (5-0) to their best start since 2009, when Bowdoin advanced to the Division 3 Sweet Sixteen.
Duxbury Town Meeting could become first in the south suburbs to cast ballots electronically
When Duxbury citizens gather at Town Meeting in March to consider important local matters, they will decide whether they want to be the first among area communities to voice their yays and nays electronically. Susan Kelley, a member of the town's Electronic Balloting Committee, said Duxbury is coordinating with Orlando-based Option Technologies International to hold a trial run of its hand-held electronic balloting devices at the March 8 Town Meeting. A nonbinding question will ask voters for their feedback on the system, and whether the town should consider leasing the equipment for future meetings. Balloting equipment companies and community officials say that Duxbury would be the third in Massachusetts with the open Town Meeting system to use electronic voting, after Wayland and Westborough.
Joe Gaziano a pivotal two-way standout for Xaverian Brothers football
Forgive Xaverian Brothers junior Joe Gaziano for breathing heavily at the conclusion of the Hawks' 28-22 win over host St. John's Prep on Thanksgiving Day. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Gaziano, a two-way starter at tight end and defensive end from Scituate, is also the team's punter. He's on the field for kickoffs and is occasionally called on for PATs and field goals. Gaziano's play on both sides of the ball has been a catalyst in the Hawks' success this year and will be made more important against Central Catholic in the Division 1 Super Bowl on Saturday. The same can be said for the roles of Mansfield senior tandem Kyle Hurley and Miguel Villar-Perez, who will face St. John's Shrewsbury in the Division 2 Super Bowl.
Holiday cheer strikes a seasonal note
Seasonal joy, inspired strings, and a host of heavenly choruses are among the ingredients in this month's offerings of holiday entertainment. Four regional orchestras offer holiday concerts, local dancers bow to "The Nutcracker," choruses raise their voices, and other offerings include an old-fashioned Christmas at a Pilgrim grist mill. This weekend the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra performs its first Handel's "Messiah" in collaboration with the Braintree High School chorus and the adult singers of the Braintree Choral Society. The weekend's holiday season offerings also include holiday pops concerts by the Brockton Symphony Orchestra and the Quincy Symphony Orchestra, and programs of seasonal song by the Choral Art Society of the South Shore and Eastern Nazarene College's A Cappella Choir and Chamber Singers.
For many in Brockton area, Christo's was their 'Cheers'
For 30 years, it was a Friday evening ritual. Christos Tsaganis, the owner and patriarch of Christo's Restaurant in Brockton, would step solemnly to the microphone and announce: "Donovan, party of four, the Gold Room." For that party of four — my parents Tom and Rose Fahey, and my aunt and uncle Fran and Margie Donovan, all of Randolph — and many others like them, a trip to the Crescent Street eatery on the East side of Brockton was a chance to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a graduation, or, in the case of my family, just simply the beginning of the weekend. Tsaganis died last Feb. 4 at 87, and on Nov. 20, his daughter Gigi Johnson, who co-owns the restaurant with sister Maria Samson, announced that the restaurant will close on Dec. 31 after almost 50 years of operation.
Duxbury newest firefighter Jeff Chandler is an old hand
Duxbury's newest firefighter is one of its most senior veterans. Jeff Chandler was a call firefighter assisting the department for 25 years before graduating on Nov. 22 from the Massachusetts Fire Academy. Asked whether many of his fellow recruits were younger, he said: "I'm 55; everyone was younger." He was told he was the oldest of the 23-member class and the second-oldest ever to complete the academy's nine-week course. Chandler, who grew up in Duxbury, said he tried at different times over the years to join the department, but others were selected. But now with the department looking to boost its in-house maintenance operation, he was a good fit, he said, since he has 30 years of experience in automotive technical work and has helped around the fire station.

Alex McLaughlin has orchestrated Littleton's run to Division 6 Super Bowl
It didn't take long for Littleton High coach Mike Lynn to realize that change was coming. He knew four years ago, the first time he saw quarterback Alex McLaughlin — then a freshman running the wing-T offense for Littleton's junior varsity team — break free from a sack and sprint for an 80-yard touchdown.Clearly, McLaughlin was the kind athlete who needed to be set free from the governors of Littleton's traditional style.Over the last three seasons, with McLaughlin taking snaps, Littleton has overhauled its offense to change to a fast-paced spread system that has become one of the most prolific in the state and helped the Tigers (12-0) to the Division 6 Super Bowl on Saturday against Cohasset.

After food stamps are cut, families from Framingham to Newton turn more often to food pantries
Some of the people who come looking for free groceries these days at the Pearl Street Cupboard and Cafe in Framingham were once on the other side of the United Way's ledger: as volunteers and donors.But then they lost their jobs, and began struggling to feed their families. And those who rely on food stamps saw their benefits cut last month after the 2009 federal stimulus package expired."They've now come into a situation where they are struggling to find work or they've found work but they've taken low-wage jobs," said Jen Maseda, senior vice president for the United Way of Tri-County, based in Framingham. "It's a different face of hunger."

With 1:04 to play and Babson College trailing by a point, Matt Palazini wanted the ball. "I like to take the big shot at the end. I just seem even more focused in those situations," said Palazini, a senior guard from Franklin, who drained a 3-pointer from NBA range, on a no-hesitation catch and shoot play that sealed the Beavers' 62-60 win at Becker last week. It was the third win of a 4-0 start for Babson, which was dealt its first defeat with a 66-54 loss at Bowdoin Sunday afternoon. Lincoln-Sudbury graduate John Swords, a 7-foot junior center, had 13 points and seven rebounds in the Polar Bear win. The 6-foot-3 Palazini, a former Hockomock League MVP and 1,000-point career scorer at Franklin High, is playing a more all-around game this season.

About the Survey
Women who participated in the first Listening to Mothers surveyNearly 1,600 women from across the United States participated in the survey during May and June, 2002. All of the women had given birth within 24 months of completing the survey, and the survey focused on their experiences with their most recent birth, including pregnancy, labor and birth, and the weeks and months afterward. The survey was designed to reflect the national profile of childbearing women, with several limitations (we did not, for example, include women who had given birth to twins or women whose babies were not living at the time of the survey). An appendix in the survey report describes the survey methodology and these limitations.Type of information included in the surveyThe first Listening to Mothers survey included some questions relating to pre-pregnancy and the prenatal period, and gave greatest emphasis to many previously unexamined issues at the time of labor and birth and in the weeks and months after birth.Many survey questions had never been asked before at the national level in the U.S., including:
Groups involved with the surveyThe Listening to Mothers survey is a project of Childbirth Connection. The survey was developed with the support of the Listening to Mothers National Advisory Council. Most members of this multi-disciplinary group represented leading national organizations involved with maternity care. The survey was conducted by Harris Interactive�, the market research firm. Teams from Childbirth Connection and Harris Interactive collaborated to develop the survey questionnaire, analyze the data, and write the report. The survey is an essential tool for improving the maternity experience, and Childbirth Connection developed recommendations in response to key survey findings.Survey objectivesThe first Listening to Mothers survey was designed to:

Monkey Bizness is an exciting concept in indoor children's amusement and birthday parties. With colorful, interactive and exciting play structures of all shapes and sizes, kids will never get bored of climbing, bouncing, swinging, sliding and basically…going bananas! Fun for all ages!
Full Moon Productions sends shivers and tickles of terror up spines with four haunted attractions. Classic- and contemporary-horror flicks jump off the screen into hair-raising reality at the Macabre Cinema, a 1930s movie palace that includes sets from Hellraiser and other movies. Frightful cinematic characters dwell among the seats and scrims, waiting to elicit particularly desperate screams from hapless couples that thought they were there to see Gigli. The Chambers of Edgar Allan Poe revisits the brilliant author's ominous imagination inside an actual supposed haunted building, as profiled on the Discovery Channel's Ghost Lab. The most horrifying excerpts from Poe's famous tales are re-created to saddle visitors with unsettling sensations, such as being buried alive or moving back in with your parents.
For more than 50 years, Cool Crest's owners have enchanted visitors with the fun park's abundance of family-friendly attractions. Flanked by emerald gardens, four 18-hole miniature golf courses lead participants to a bonus 19th hole, which rewards successful shots with a free game. Helpful staff enables drivers to hug the racetrack's corners while strapped into an open-wheel go-kart or, when in season, smack homers from batting cages hurling slow, medium, or fast pitches. Inside, a climbing playland and 7,000-square-foot arcade entertain guests throughout the year. To encourage kids to work as hard as they play, Cool Crest's staff rewards students brandishing recent report cards with up to 20 tokens, depending on their number of A's, B's, or the results from their PhD peer review. In between exhaustive sessions of play, a snack bar staff reenergizes guests with a slice or treat at Frankie's Pizzeria.
Paradise Park started its life as a simple miniature-golf course in 1992. Since then, the park has grown with Lee's Summit, mirroring the suburb's population growth with additions that have turned it into a sprawling temple to family fun. Outdoors, guests can still show off their putts and best gopher impressions on the miniature-golf course, or head over to the go-kart track to face off against fellow drivers on a 1,000-foot road-inspired course. Inside the park's huge indoor area, kids play and learn at the Children's Edutainment Center or blast each other with air-propelled balls at the Foam Factory. A game room harks back to the arcades of old with token-fed classics such as Ms. Pac-Man, as well as offering new amusements including a SpongeBob SquarePants game.
When her laser makes a successful hit, the speakers in her vest fire with computer-voiced congratulations, while at the other end, her opponent's vest vibrates to ensure he knows he was tagged. Those are just two of the engrossing features of Jaegerz Laser Tag's Lasertron equipment that help players get into the game. Opponents open fire on one another with a single pop or even a rapid burst of laser fire as they take cover behind black-lit obstacles. Players can find plenty of places to duck and run in the 6,000 square foot arena's fog-filled room while strobe lights work to disorient players. Guests can also arrange to have birthday parties and fundraising events held at the facility.
Each autumn, friends and families meander through the twists and turns of the 25-acre Liberty Corn Maze, whose GPS-precision-cut design changes every year. This year's design, which commemorates World War One and our nation's soldiers, is actually composed of four separate mazes, each dotted with nefarious twists and turns. Visitors set off down 50-inch-wide trails lined with tall, swaying stalks, armed only with a map, their wits, and a lion sidekick whose fear makes them strong. Along the way, bridges lift travelers above the stalks and give them a bird's-eye view of their surroundings. Friendly staffers keep guests on the right trail and help locate lost friends and family members. For young ones, a separate three-foot-high soybean maze provides entertainment while keeping kids within view at all times.
Founded by the mother of four bounce-happy bairns, Leaping Lizards rockets socked striplings high above an inflatable party village of kid-friendly bounce-pads. Spring-ready squires can gallantly back flip behind miniature princesses before gracefully crowning them in a castle colonized by an assembly of Disney nobility. Meanwhile, an afternoon spent bounding across Batman's fortress will inspire heroic offspring to unleash excess energy before clumsily storming a skull-and-crossbone-emblazoned pirate ship. Toddlers under the age of two are unable to bounce with bigger brothers and sisters, so Leaping Lizards has a special area set aside to keep tiny tots preoccupied.

Firefighters responded to a fire call Monday at the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. plant on Ramsey Street.
A carbon oil fire was reported outside a plant building at the southern end of the property at 2:10 p.m., said Debbie Tanna of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
The fire caused a cloud of black smoke near the entrance to the plant.
Richard Evans, Goodyear spokesman, said the fire started in an underground conduit.
Members of the plant's emergency response team had the fire contained and extinguished before firefighters arrived at the scene.
Firefighters remained at the plant as a precaution, Evans said. Bunnlevel Fire Department was first on the scene.
No injuries were reported.
Evans said it was too soon to determine the cause of the fire or the impact the fire would have on production.

I was expecting too much this weekend. I came in expecting a game with ground-breaking new PvE concepts with the dynamic events. I was expecting PvP that offered strategy and thinking, instead I got PvP that involved rolling your face on the keyboard and still killing people. I guess new MMO players enjoy this style of combat. The thoughtless button-mashing where no matter what skill you mash in PvE it works. I heard people say the game was difficult but how can a game be difficult when the skill you use at the start of the game is just as viable 20 hours into the game? I'll be playing because the PvP has potential, but the combat system in this game is awful. Anyone who likes it really needs to break it down and look at it. But to be completely honest, if this game were pay to play, I'd be skipping it the same as I am skipping TERA. At least TERA had an innovative combat system... I'd love to see a poll on what people thought of the first beta weekend.
Sennheiser |
I was amazed with the game and to be honest i already played tera , and i prefer the combat in guild wars 2, in gw2 you can cast everything while moving, in there you must stop to use any ability. So yeah gw2 is better than sliced bread |
Originally posted by Xarnthal Then cut and paste,retitle,repost this then and at the bottom, two buttons to the right of post message is "insert poll" GL |
It is a good game, but not as much as it is hyped. I like it, and it is good that it is free to play. However, It isnt what I thought it would be. Maybe I just need to take more time to get used to it. I do enjoy Tera a lot more than Guild Wars at the moment. |
I know this boarders on heresy, but I found it ...underwhelming. It was simply travel from point on map to point on map, do the quest there, (Kill 10 of X, gather 10 of Y), and move on. Sometimes something different would pop up, like escort a merchant, but for the most part it was just grind, grind, grind after a while. (Now, granted, that's MMOs in a nutshell) The classes are fun for the most part, some, like the melee classes, tended to be a bit thin on game play. Engineer was fun, just because once you leveled up a bit you could play around with kits, (mine, bomb, flamethrower, etc.) to find one that worked best for you. Didn't play any magic user classes, but others that did said they played pretty much the same way as an engineer. Some of the graphics for the attacks are the the same exact animation, just different color! Crafting looked like it could be fun, nothing new, nothing to get excited about, but still a bit of fun. Finding the recipes I think will be as much of the crafting game as actually making anything. The way to 'customize' your character in GW 2 is weapons. Each class can use certain weapons, and each weapon has different attacks or defensive abilities. Not a lot mind you, One handed weapons only had 3, 2 handed weapons only had 5, and off hand weapons only had 2. You never had more then 5 attack options at any one time. I think that more then anything this limitation was the joy killer for me. A neat option was you could have 2 weapon loadouts, and swap them on the fly, (My engineer would use a rifle, but when things got close, he would switch to pistol and shield), which stretched the options a bit. Every 10 levels you unlock a skill slot. Skill points are earned as you level and complete some challange quests, and you buy skills with this. Most skills are simply buffs, attacks, or heals, some actually replace your weapon attack options. (For example, the engineer flamethrower skill, when it was active, replaced your weapon with a short ranged flamethrower with it's own attacks) All in all, I found it very slow at first, however it picked up some when you got more skill options and crafting started to come into it's own. It just never seemed to pick up very much. I would honestly say GW2 is fun for a bit, but doesn't look like it has a lot of staying power, nothing to keep you coming back. If I had played it before I pre-ordered, I really don't think I would have bought it. There are just too many other games that have better hooks. I would rate it a solid 6, maybe a weak 7. Slow first couple hours, next couple hours it gets fun, then it all starts to just blur together and become... meh. My poll response: * Not what you expected * (In a dissapointed way) |
Originally posted by Xarnthal Uhm, what? That makes no sense whatsoever. You don't like it, that is fine but that does not make it a bad system. I thought it was pretty fun myself. |
I think anyone who 'really' followed the game through development knew what to expect realistically and got what they wanted from it. I got just that. Theres been 3 big longterm MMOs in my life: Asheron's Call, Guild Wars (yes yes not an mmo, who cares?) and LOTRO (Pre-FTP). I've played WoW a lot as well but I don't class it as one of my biggies... more into the lore than anything with that one. GW2 is definately going to be added to that list. |
Its not a bad game at all infact its pretty well done but at the end of it all its just another themepark game with a couple of little changes to the way some things work.. The combat system is basically your average tab system with a few tweaks nothing world changing thats for sure. .but it works and flows well.. So in a way yes the OP is right the game had not lived up to its hype not at all.. but he is also being very harsh.. its not a bad game at all just nothing really new.. My 3D models |
*What I expected I expected another new wow clone with "groundbreaking features" and better graphics. *What is was Another new wow clone with "groundbreaking features" and better graphics. Turns out it had server and other issues aswell. *Summary Someone make a good sandbox game! Please! Surely developers can see now is the time for inovation among this minefield of wow clones. I am looking forward to http://www.embersofcaerus.com/ and Archaeage (it will do for the time being) but any new sandbox games on the horizon is good news. --EDIT-- I put "groundbreaking features" in quotation marks to show I am being sarcastic. |
Originally posted by Tranquilliti LOL it has no new ground braking features... Tho i totally agree about the sandbox bit... tired of all these theme park games now.. My 3D models |
Maybe the GW2 forums should have a subdirectory for all "This is boring old stuff, TERA is so much better!"-threads. I think the game truly lives up to the hype. So many things you can do, that are great fun, and it is up to you, what you want to do. The game looks beautiful and very polished already. The only doubt I have is: What about lvl 20-80? Will it get better (like everbody expects)? Or will it be just like with so many other MMOs - great starter areas, while the rest of the game has a rather poor quality. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. |
GW2 is a very well done game, I dont think a game exists or will that can live up to the hype players generate for it. But GW2 gave it one hell of a go! From all I read about this game before the beta, what I saw was what I expected and I very much enjoyed my beta experience. |
kinda speaks for itself |
Originally posted by Caldrin I clearly put "groundbreaking features" in quotation marks because that is what all the developers and fanboys say, yet it is the exact same rubbish recycled over and over. |
Originally posted by Xarnthal Just add a poll with this options so we can vote, it's way easier to see what's the overall opinion than scrolling walls of texts... "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." |
Content wise: as expected; a themepark game with some new flavors, breaking the mold only in appearance but like in any other themepark, very much centered on premade content. WvW being the only exception even though world pvp in such a setting (with dedicated objectives, strict mechanics and npc's to defeat) still has it's themeparky aspects. Immersion wise: better than expected: stunning surroundings, vast and lively cities and sound & music are jawdropping occasionaly. |

You see where i'm going here each class has it's own unique diverse systems and by God so fun to play and that was one weapon set with a few utility skills,switching to dual pistols then gave me a rapid fire shot the diversity is pretty staggering and one of the best systems i've seen since Vanguard,also tried engineer and thought that was way fun as well. |
I went into GW2 expecting a game that was fun to play and good to look at and listen to. It delivered, and then some more. I've been following it since the early days, and I've been making up my own mind about it based on what I see and what ANet have delivered in the past, so the hype that has grown up around it in the last couple of years hasn't really swayed me. I expected flaws, and found them. I expected fun, and I found that too, in pleny of large helpings. But you know what? No game will suit everyone, and that's okay. I'm sorry you din't really enjoy the game very much, but not every game will please you. I've bought games that I haven't enjoyed, but I don't think that's a fault of the game. It's simply a matter of them not being my taste. (Actually, my biggest disappointment was Skyrim, because the way they have the camera gives me motion sickness and I can't play it for more than about ten minutes at a time before I feel physically sick. So I know what it's like to be excited about something and then let down. But that doesn't mean Skyrim is a terrible game.) Reality Bites. I'm only Barking |

Thanks for viewing our reports! Whether you be a regular or first time visitor we welcome you. Just before I get into the November report I wanted to reflect on what happened this fall so far.
I was totally blown away with the results we had this fall for salmon. The King salmon fishing was consistent but what stood out was the size of the fish. Many guests went home with King's over 30 lbs and a few over 40lbs. On one day we had 2 fish of 42 lbs each and some smaller ones too. We look forward to next year's King return.
I was also quite impressed with the number of Coho that were encountered while fly fishing. On a 5 day trip with 2 fly guys I counted over 100 Coho salmon hooked into, that's quite impressive! Images of these fish can easily be viewed on our Facebook page. You can also see our website re: Fraser river guided fishing
Currently the fishing is still great. November is prime time for Chum salmon and there's a ton of them this year. The other day we were out the water was boiling with Chum's plus a few Coho too.
Sturgeon fishing remains very good with most days producing 10-20 fish and averaging 50-200 lbs.
The salmon fishing will wrap up by December 1st but then there is really good Trout and Steelhead fishing to follow. No shortage of options here in Vancouver!
Best Fishes to all from Captain Brian !
For the sake of wild salmon please do not eat farmed salmon aka: Atlantic, Scottish, Steelhead. The industry is spreading lethal diseases to wild fish stocks and yet is doing nothing to stop this. This is an industry that doesn't belong in our oceans. Please see more HERE

My one year old daughter loves this car! She hates a stroller but will ride for HOURS in the Push Around Buggy without complaint. It's super cute and always a go-to favorite with the kids. This is our second buggy, having purchased one of these cars six years ago for my son's first birthday. I knew from experience it would be a well loved and quality product. Our new "anniversary edition" seems to retain the same durability as the original. It is comfy enough for long rides, and the functioning "trunk" is a big hit! One of the only problems I have noticed is that the car is VERY low to the ground. This is good for little ones to enter and exit the car, but I have noticed my daughter can drag her foot on the ground while moving. When riding on asphalt, or other rough surfaces, there is the potential for injury to little feet or at the very least, damage to their shoes. Also the horn is difficult for her to apply enough pressure to make it squeak. It's NOT really an issue, but be prepared to have to push it for them if they want to enjoy it. Lastly, I do wish there was a bit more foot room. It's not a problem now, but could be as she grows. Still, considering these things and other similar products, I believe the Push Around Buggy is the best choice in ride/push cars - FUN for the kids and the quality you expect from Step 2.

We received this little car as a birthday gift for my 2 year old. Putting it together was one of the most frustrating experiences I've had as a single mom. The recessed wheels/hubcaps made thecaps difficult to pound onto the wheel shaft...had to find a small tupperware cup to support the bottom cap. The bolt for the handle didn't even remotely fit through the predrilled hole so I had to carve out enough space for it to finally fit through. Very cute once it was together however, once it was in use I discovered another issue...my toddler can and does stick his legs out to the side as we're walking and puts them on the ground making it difficult to move the car...if I hadn't been paying attention on the mulitple times he'd done this his little legs would have been broken from the force of me pushing and him stopping. Although my brother has this item and loved it for his 2 children I would never recommend it due to the safety issues.

This is a great little car, it's so easy to push and to manuever. It's lightweight, but sturdy. My only complaint is that we had trouble with the steering wheel staying in. The little plastic pieces kept popping out of the cylinder, which allows the child to pull off the wheel. We ended up putting a piece of dowel in and and drilling a hole through the plastic and putting in a screw. I'm not sure that the hole that this cylinder fits into is quite big enough, either.
Worth the money!

My son received this item as a gift for Christmas last year. He was 4 months old. It has been one of the most used gifts that he received! I can clean up around the house because he is content being pushed around. Starts fussing....just put him in his car and start pushing around and he is happy. Loved it so much we got one for my nephew for this coming Christmas!

My son love's this buggy he thinks it's his car.. He was already climbing into it before we could finish building it. It's easy and pratical to take him around he preffers it over the stroller. Only drawback is that leg space is it a bit small so if they have long legs they will not fit to comfy or for to long.

Hell Boy is a recent addition to Winter Wall, climbing the less steep portion of cliff just right of Post Moderate. I think this climb will be one of the better beginner leads in Diablo, once the new route grit and little flaky stuff is eroded. The first half of the route is in character with the first half of Post Moderate, with similar low angle cruising with positive edges-- it never gets too tough so long as you look for footholds. Reach a 2-bolt anchor at 28m just before the wall steepens. 5.7 climbers might be happy to stop here. Above is the steep crux, Hell Boy moves right to a crack just for a short distance (this line is Highway to Hell). If you avoid the crack entirely (contrived), the face just next to it can be climbed on small edges at 5.10+ or something like that. After this crux section, follow the bolts on easier climbing to a higher 2-bolt anchor that is up and left of the anchor for Highway to Hell. You can't see the anchor until you're almost there, but just go straight up from the last bolt and you'll get there.
Hell Boy is the red-hangered bolted climb right of the post and the classic 5.9 Post Moderate. Rappel from the 2-bolt anchor with 2 ropes; or, with a single 60m rope: rappel first to the intermediate anchor, then a 2nd rappel to the dirt.
20 bolts to the 2-bolt anchor at the top. Can be done in 2 pitches with 10-12 draws, but is more fun climbed as one long pitch.
Chris-- for this bolted line, use the lower anchor of Highway to Hell, installed by S. Beguin and friends on the 1st recorded ascent of that route. [EDIT: that was in November; this has now been extended to the high anchors last weekend] I agree with your point.. In my opinion, this climb would benefit by having a new separate, even lower anchor installed at the level of the 2nd to last bolt [EDIT: Jason put in an anchor somewhere around this section in Dec 2008]; this would better maintain the integrity of the trad line to its right and keep the climbing at a consistent 5.7 difficulty. It's not really a big deal though, the climb is alright as it is, and will get better with more traffic.
That's a fine suggestion, George. We were being lazy and taking advantage of the existing anchors. I had also planned to install a mid-point anchor at about 90'. Another idea is to continue the route straight through the steeper, harder terrain to another set of anchors that already exists up there about another 30' beyond the Highway to Hell anchors. Let's go do that sometime this winter eh?
{Edit} Yeah, definitely go to the uppermost anchor. Some of the best rock is up there, and it's a comfy stance. And the lowest anchor provides a perfect sport line for a beginning leader. IMO, still, it's too bad that "Hell Boy" feels like a "Squeeze Job".... Maybe if it had just stopped at the bottom anchor.
Jason- Thanks for contributing to the great climbing on the Winter Wall. I am psyched to see other people motivated to expand our local climbing. This route has realy good potential to be a classic but it still needs a lot of cleaning. I would be happy to go out with you any time to work on it. There are even a few things that may have come loose on Naked Lunch that I could tend to. I just dont want anyone to get hurt. I think the potential for accidents on these lines especially -being attractive to the entry level climbers- warrants an extra good cleaning job. -aaron
Thanks for your comment, Aaron. You make some very good points and I agree with them all. We did do a fair bit of cleaning but indeed it could definitely use some more. I do try to bolt a route appropriately for the rating and, in fact, think there's an area down low where it feels a bit run out for the 5.8 leader so I hope to put another bolt in there. It would be great to meet up for a cleaning/route maintenance day. A couple of us hope to go this Sunday morning early to do some more work on this and climb. I know weekends are bad for working on routes so we may not get much done but plan to arrive early enough to beat crowds at least for a bit. If we don't get much done I'll be heading back, maybe next Friday. I'll let you know.
Today, after replacing the missing hangers from bolts 2, 3 and 4 (WTF is that all about?), we added Fixe rap anchors at 28m and then added four more bolts on the face out left from the Highway to Hell anchors to existing chain anchors on a nice ledge about 40 feet higher. The route now comes in at about 165' total with 20 bolts. Also, we did some good cleaning to remove potentially dubious rock. Of course, it never hurts my feelings if others want to contribute to cleaning it, too, as they climb it. That said, it is a new route on the Winter Wall so climb with caution!
Jason wrote: The other anchors are pretty much straight up about another 30'. You can see them from the top of Naked Lunch. I presume they were used for the original cleaning and establishing of Highway... Highway to Hell was put up ground up and there is only one set of anchors that we put in at about 130'. We cleaned the route after the anchors were installed. As for most routes on this wall, they will probably always need a bit of cleaning every year with the freeze/thaw occurrences.
A very nice addition to the wall... Continuous at the grade with some tricky moves along the way makes for some fun climbing. And it's long, too! Thanks for the new accoutrements, Jason!
Only went to the first anchor but I didn't think it was any easier than Post Moderate.

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
HOPE MILLS - It was not immediately clear Friday what impact, if any, a judge's reinstatement of a county commissioner in Wilmington would have on efforts to remove a Hope Mills commissioner from office.
Superior Court Judge James Gale ruled Thursday that Brian Berger should be allowed to resume his place on the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners.
Berger's colleagues used a procedure called amotion to remove Berger in May by a 3-2 vote.
The Hope Mills Board of Commissioners has planned a similar hearing for Sept. 26 to consider removing Commissioner Tonzie Collins from its ranks.
Collins has been the focus of several complaints since he was elected in 2005.
Town Attorney T.C. Morphis said Friday he had notified town leaders about the ruling but had not reviewed all 31 pages of it. Morphis said it was too soon to tell whether it would affect the Sept. 26 hearing.
"I can't really tell you what the town's going to do," he said.
The New Hanover case was the first time in nearly a century that a North Carolina official was removed using an amotion hearing, a quasi-judicial proceeding in which both the town and the commissioner involved present evidence to bolster their arguments.
The judge ruled the New Hanover commissioners based their decision in part on personal experiences that were not properly entered as evidence.
The judge did affirm the way the county held the proceeding in May.
Morphis said that shows the procedure can work.
"I think it's a lawful process," he said. "We will have to look at the ruling."
The town board has a regular meeting Sept. 16. Morphis said the commission might address the ruling then, or could hold a specially called meeting to address it sooner.
The chairman of the New Hanover commissioners said he expects the board to try again to remove Berger.

Also, I have used this sweater in temperature's below freezing and have not been cold. if your considering buying this fleece but are afraid the price tag is to high, buy it.

"Their eyes, human eyes in wolf skulls, remind me of water: the clear blue of water reflecting the spring sky, the brown of a brook churning with rainfall, the green of the lake in summer as the algae begins to bloom, the gray of a snow-chocked river.

"The future stretched before me, infinite and growing and mine, in a way that nothing had ever been before."Sam
"I could still remember his human eyes in that wolf face; they'd looked as empty as I felt."Isabel
"My parents had always been so careful with me, until the day they decided I needed to die."Sam
"It was something that said she knew me. Something that made the I love yous real."Sam
"There was something awful about terror trapped behind silence. About latent emotions that couldn't be acted out."Cole
"She screamed, this high pitched scream that was neither human nor animal but something terrible in between, the sort of sound that you never forget no matter how many beautiful things you hear afterward."Cole
"Right now, it's hard to imagine that it is raining anywhere in the world."Sam
"I was poison to everyone I touched, but for once, it felt good to be self aware. I couldn't stop myself from exploding, but I could at least learn to contain the fallout."Cole
"The longest day of my life began and ended with Grace closing her eyes."Sam
""We're getting free toppings. Bet me we're getting free toppings" "I don't have to bet, that was practically phone sex on an extra-thin crust.""Isabel and Grace
"Tom Culpeper was a prick. Being one myself, I was allowed to think such things."Cole
"Most people had an acquired kind of beauty - they became better-looking the longer you knew them and the better you loved them."Sam
"I am standing here in the shed and I'm waiting to see if my seeds are going to poke out of the dirt. I don't know if it is too early to look for signs of life or if, this time, winter has claimed my family for good."Sam
"I was an open wound."Sam
"I had risked everything, and I had nothing to show for it but n my open hand, lying empty and palm up toward the ceiling."Sam

""Don't..don't even say that. Don't threaten me with that. I'll go. But don't..""Sam
""I thought about telling her what i was thinking, like you're beautiful and you're my angel, but the thing about Grace was that words like that meant more to me than to her. They were throw away phrases to her, things that made her smile for a second but were just...gone after that, too corny to be real. To Grace these were the things that mattered: My hands on her cheeks, my lips on her mouth, the fleeting touches that meant I love her.""Sam
""I could just walk away. She was dying, after all. It was inevitable and how much did the suffering of a deer count for? Her eye blinked again, silent and tolerant. A lot..that was how much it counted for.""Cole
