Self-Storage Facilities Support Canned-Food Drives
A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about holiday charities, encouraging self-storage operators to find something they felt passionate about and get involved this holiday season. This week, we've posted several news items about operators who are doing just that.
Canned-food drives are all the rage this time of year—and they should be. Stats show 49 million Americans are at risk for hunger, and that includes children. We're not talking about desirable foods, but the basics—milk, bread and meat. Each year, local food banks will deliver more than two billion pounds of food and grocery products to hungry Americans. And while grocery stores have long held canned-food drives around the holidays, now self-storage facilities are getting in on the act. Storage Asset Management Inc. and RJ Self Storage launched canned-food drives this month. The facilities are working with their local food banks to collect canned goods and other non-perishable foods through Thanksgiving. The facilities are even offering rental discounts for donated items.
If you'd like to host a canned-food drive but aren't sure where to start, contact your local food bank. They can provide you a list of what types of items to accept and refuse and even information on food safety. Some food banks will even pick up the donated food from your facility. They may also provide signage or add your facility to their website as a drop-off location.
To make the most of your canned-food drive, you have to spread the word that you're hosting one. Craft a short e-mail announcing the dates of the drive and send it to all your current and previous tenants. Offer a few suggestions for donated items, such as macaroni and cheese, soup or rice. If you're offering a discount for donated goods, spell it out. For example five donated items gets you $10 off one month's rent.
If your facility is located near other businesses, drop off fliers at each location so they can pass them out to their customers. Add the information to website also. Like any promotion, you have to market it.
If you're looking to get more involved with the many movements looking to end hunger, hit the Web. I found several states with hunger coalitions that accept donations and are even looking for volunteers to aid in their efforts. Or simply ask your local food bank what else you can do to help. Canned-food drives shouldn't be regulated to just the holiday season. It's really something you can do any time of year.
If you're hosting a canned-food drive at your facility, share the ins and outs with Self-Storage Talk members. How did you go about setting up the drive? What has it meant for your facility and community? Many operators are looking for low-cost ways to get involved in their communities. If this is working for you, post a comment below or share your story here.

Instead of taking them would extra strength Tylenol help ease the pain? I just really do not want to throw up during my recovery time.. Is there pain killers you know doesn't make people sick, I heard Vicodin definitely does!
Will the Pain Killers Make Me Sick After my BA?

Pain medication after breast augmentation surgery
Narcotic pain medications can definitely cause nausea. Fortunately, just because one narcotic causes nausea does not necessarily mean they all do. If you do poorly with vicodin, you may do well with percocet, etc. I would advise taking your pain medication with some food, and if you still have nausea, then very effective anti-nausea medications can also be prescribed. After a few days, you may be able to have excellent pain control with only Tylenol.
All the best,

Will the Pain Killers Make Me Sick After my Breast Augmentation?
The most common cause of nausea (and vomiting) after breast augmentation, or any surgery using a general anesthetic, is the anesthesia itself. That is why we prefer to do this procedure under "twilight" with light sedation, rather than a general anesthetic. Any narcotic-type pain medicine can also cause nausea (Vicoden, Percocet, Demereol, etc) as well. This is best avoided by taking these medicines sparingly, only as needed, and with at least a little bit of food in your stomach.
Pain medication after breast augmentation
Nausea after surgery may be due to the type of anesthesia used for the surgery or to the type of pain medication. We use short acting anesthetic medications during the procedure and these medications have a low chance of causing nausea after surgery. The pain medications are the next most likely cause. These are best taken with food as a way to prevent nausea. The medication we prescribe most often is Vicodin and we have a very low rate of nausea after surgery.
You can certainly try Tylenol. Many of my patients just take the pain medication for a couple of doses on the day of surgery and maybe the next day and then switch to Tylenol.
Thank you for the question and good luck.

I commonly prescribe Vicodin for the first few days after surgery. Pain and discomfort is very personal and each person experience is different. I have had patients that did fine with just extra strength Tylanol. You should both available just in case you needed it as long as you are not allergic to it.
Good luck!

Nausea after Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, nausea is relatively common after surgical procedures specially when narcotics are necessary for postoperative pain control. Nausea may be reduced by taking the pain medications only as necessary and with some food on board.
Most plastic surgeons will use intravenous and oral antinausea medications around the time of surgery.
I also believe that the "power of the mind" is important. If the patient feels that she will likely experience nausea after surgery, I think it is more likely that she actually will. I also think that anxiety around the time of surgery may increase the chances of postoperative nausea; therefore, I urge patients to "think positive thoughts" and use relaxation techniques before and after their surgical procedure.
I hope this helps.

Post-op nausea and pain meds
Post-op pain meds can give the patient nausea. I usally suggest tatking the pain meds with food. I also give patients anti-nausea medication too. Some patients only need tylenol after surgery.
Pain pump catheters are a good alternative to narcotics for breast augmentation.
Thank you for your question.
Pain pump catheters are a good alternative to narcotics for breast augmentation. They work well and come out in three days.
Only some people get sick to their stomach from narcotic pain medication. You will not know until you try it. I always give my patients an anti-nausea prescription just in case and a stool softener too so that you don't get constipated from the pain medicine.
The anesthesia can be a source of nausea too. Ask your anesthesiologist to take precautions.
I hope this helps.
Nausea from pain meds after breast augmentation
Some people are very susceptible to nausea following narcotics. Talk to the anesthesiologist about this before the case and they will give you a medication to help with this problem. your plastic surgeon will probably inject the area with Marcaine also and this will minimize the discomfort providing he is gentle with the tissues.
Following surgery there are alternatives pain meds that have a very low incidence of nausea, but are still effective, such as tramadol (Ultram) or the new pain med called Nucynta. By all means try Tylenol first to see if it is adequate. Nausea and vomiting is very bad folling surgery. It elevates your BP and this may cause bleeding. Good luck with your procedure. Most patients are elated.
Pain and Pain Meds after Breast Augmentation
Your question is a common one. Nausea is common both from anesthesia and from narcotic pain medicine. I always prescribe an anti-nausea medicine that helps with this. The nausea experienced with narcotic medications is often alleviated just by changing the medication. I usually instruct my patients to take one pill at night several days before surgery. If nausea is experienced then I'll typically change it before surgery. A high dose of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is now being used as a treatment for surgical pain. There's even an IV form that we now often use during surgery.

newly compiled kernel problem
hello,i'm a new man to kernel and today i update it to 2.6.19,i tried several times and at last i succeeded but the kernel cannot find the nvidia module and so i can't use the X.what'e the problem?anyone could tell me?
Are you using the nvidia drivers from nvidia.com? If so, you have to recompile the nvidia drivers each time you upgrade your kernel.
I would rerun either the nvidia installation program or the "tiny-nvidia-installer" program on SuSE using the "--update" option to download a newer version if it exists and start the compilation process. You need to log out of your windows manager first (kde, gnome, or whatever), su to root and "init -3" to stop the server first. After that, accept the license and selecting yes is all you need to do to install a new nvidia kernel module. There are options to specify a kernel version and compile the module, but using --update is the easiest way to do it.
thanks a lot,i download the driver and install it and it works well.

On the first day of spring, in this corner of the Epi office, thoughts are turning to deck-, backyard- and rooftop-based urban farming. Some of us have a headstart.
Last winter my boyfriend and I bought an indoor composter. I was skeptical.
But the NatureMill is pretty straightforward, and makes composting in one-bedroom apartments both easier (it heats and mixes the compost to help it break down faster) and safer (it's meant to seal tightly, and has a charcoal air filter to keep the smell down).
There have, however, been ups and downs.
We learned, for example, that the device could jam, but only after spending a half hour on our knees, elbow-deep in eerily familiar food scraps while quartering a few-dozen Brussels sprouts with a pair of scissors (this was also when we realized we were in it for good).
We've also been a bit surprised, in an enjoyable, science-project kind of way, by the variety of smells emanating from gray, PC-sized box. Before becoming more vigilant about adding baking soda to the mix, the utility closet has smelled variously like barnyard, landfill, chocolate, medieval plagues, and a fifth-grade classroom.
But the payoff has been terrific. First, it's wholly satisfying to have a useful place to recycle food scraps, along with the paper, plastic, and metal that NYC already recycles.
Second, the guilt about not eating yet another bag of grocery store lettuce lessens when you can use it to make dirt to grow "real" lettuce.
Then there's the unexpected thrill of terroir planning, and wondering whether we'll be able to taste this winter's discarded horseradish in next year's harvest.
But mostly the payoff is the ordinary but deep fun of making something.
And, with spring upon us, each bag of sweet, steaming, boggy proto-dirt we move to the roof gets us one step closer to summer's first round of produce.

85 Year Old Man Held by North Korea Apologizes for 'Hostile Acts'
An elderly tourist, held more than a month by North Korea, has issued an "apology" for committing "hostile acts' against the Korean people.
A statement, purportedly from Merrill Newman, an 85 year old Korean War veteran from Palo Alto, CA, detailed Newman's supposed "crimes" he committed during the Korean War.
"After I killed so many civilians and (North Korean) soldiers and destroyed strategic objects in the DPRK during the Korean War, I committed indelible offensive acts against the DPRK government and Korean people," Newman said, according to the "apology" reported by KCNA.
His statement ends: "If I go back to (the) USA, I will tell the true features of the DPRK and the life the Korean people are leading."
This story claimed that Newman tried to "look for spies and terrorists who conducted espionage and subversive activities against the DPRK." Investigators determined that, as a member of the U.S. military, he "masterminded espionage and subversive activities ... and, in this course, he was involved in the killings of service personnel of the Korean People's Army and innocent civilians."
"The investigation clearly proved Newman's hostile acts against the DPRK, and they were backed by evidence," the KCNA story added. "He admitted all his crimes and made an apology for them."
Until now, Pyongyang had not explained why it was holding Newman.
There was no apparent immediate response from the U.S. government to the reported apology or the accompanying North Korean official news report.
Washington does not have diplomatic relations with Pyongyang, and it has been working through Sweden -- the U.S. protecting power in North Korea -- to obtain information about the American.
The retired financial consultant was last seen aboard a flight from Pyongyang to Beijing. Just minutes before the plane was to depart, he was removed from the flight by North Korean authorities.
According to his family, he had been on a 10-day organized private tour of North Korea. From phone calls and postcards he sent, the trip was going well and there was no indication of any kind of problem, his son said.
It's a shame we've become so civilized. Treating Kim Jong Un like a Barbary pirate who snatched an American citizen on the high seas would certainly have its emotional benefits.
But that's what Dear Leader has done. He has acted like a pirate and the international community should treat him as such. Instead, he will use poor Mr. Newman as a bargaining chip to extort more food from the US to feed his starving population.
China doesn't seem very interested in reining in Kim and his odorous regime. One wonders what Beijing would do if Kim kidnapped a Chinese national. Somehow, I don't think the prospect of a reward for bad behavior would be forthcoming. More likely, a cut off of Chinese aid and some typically inscrutable -- but menacing -- warnings would be issued and the Chinese citizens would be returned with some alacrity.
Let's hope that Mr. Newman is released in time to celebrate Christmas with his family.

A traditional spring season surge was evident: Residential property sales in Sarasota County hit the 1,000 mark last month for the first time since last May.
March homes sales in Southwest Florida rose with a spring-buying bounce from the previous month, but the total number of deals failed to top year-ago levels.
Industry experts say the residential real estate market here — and throughout Florida — is leveling off and exhibiting smaller price gains after a double-digit blitz that occurred throughout 2013.
"What we're seeing is a market we can live with," said Florida Realtors chief economist John Tuccillo. "Sales are up, inventories are increasing moderately, and days on the market are shrinking slightly."
In all, buyers closed on 2,187 single-family homes and condominiums during March in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. That was up by 29 percent from February, but down 2 percent over the year.
A traditional spring season surge, however, was evident: Residential property sales in Sarasota County hit the 1,000 mark last month for the first time since last May.
But in the Sarasota-Manatee region overall, single-family home sales fell by 5.4 percent over the year, while condo transactions declined 5.7 percent.
"Last year was one of the most active markets in our history, so it would be expected that things might begin to level off somewhat," said Peter Crowley, president of the Sarasota Association of Realtors and president and co-owner of brokerage firm Re/Max Alliance Group.
The median sale price for a single-family home was $201,884 in Sarasota-Manatee, 3.5 percent higher than March 2013. That falls in line with industry prognosticators like S&P/Case Shiller, which forecast that prices in 2014 would increase at less than half of last year's rate.
"As long as we continue to work through the foreclosure inventory, I believe our price increases will be moderated somewhat," Crowley said.
The median sale price for homes in Charlotte County last month was $142,500, 7 percent higher than the same time last year.
"I hope the 'new normal' is less than 7 percent in order for the market to stabilize some and catch our breath," said John Bockin, president of Punta Gorda-Port Charlotte-North Port Realtors Inc.
Based on pending sales — a reliable barometer of future closings — the traditional spring buying boost should continue over the next few months.
Pending sales in Sarasota County hit 1,248 homes and condos in March, the highest level in three years, according to the SAR.
"A well-priced home will still sell within 60 days," said Bockin, an agent with ReMax Harbor Realty.
Some experts continue to fret about tight inventory.
The inventory in Sarasota County dropped in March over the month for the first time in almost three years, though a 5.3-months supply remains.
"As prices continue to increase, even moderately, more and more sellers find themselves in a positive equity position which will allow some of those homeowners to sell their property," Crowley said. "This addition of properties, coupled with the ramp up in new home construction, should help our inventory issues over the next several months."
The median sale price for condos rose 5.5 percent over the year to $154,000 in Sarasota-Manatee. Condos brought a median price of $125,000 in Charlotte, a 2.2 percent gain.
Statewide, buyers closed on 20,081 existing single-family homes in March, a 2.8 percent gain over the year.
The median sale price — half of the properties sold for more, half for less — was $173,000, up 7.1 percent.
A total of 9,580 condos changed hands in Florida last month, down 5.2 percent over the year. The median price for those multifamily residences was $140,000, a 16.7 percent gain.
"What's of particular interest this month is how market activity has moved up the price ladder," Tuccillo said. "We are seeing greater sales gains and inventory increases, and strong percentage decreases in days on the market, for homes priced above $250,000.
"This is a break from the trends we were seeing last year and bears watching for the future," he said.
Nationwide, sales of existing U.S. homes slipped in March to their lowest level since July 2012, with rising prices and a tight supply of available homes discouraging many would-be buyers.
The National Association of Realtors noted sales slipped 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.59 million. That was the seventh drop in the past eight months.
Sales rose in the Northeast and Midwest, however, suggesting that cold winter weather did not slow sales.
And the Realtors' group says the scant decline shows that sales are stabilizing and might strengthen in coming months — as the spring buying season in Northern states picks up.
Sales fell in the West and South, where prices have risen the most in the past year. Price increases were smaller in the Northeast and Midwest.
The median sales price nationwide last month was $198,200, up 7.4 percent from 12 months ago.
The sharpest sales increase occurred among homes priced at $1 million or above. Purchases rose 8 percent in that category. Sales fell in nearly every other price group, however.
Other measures of home prices have shown stronger gains. Real estate data provider CoreLogic says prices rose 12.2 percent in the past year. That might be discouraging some potential investors, who accounted for just 17 percent of home sales in March, the lowest proportion since August. It was down from 21 percent in February.
But in a positive sign, first-time buyers comprised 30 percent of all home sales in March, the highest percentage in a year. That is still well below the roughly 40 percent figure that is considered consistent with a healthy housing market.

After spiking to record highs over the past week, gasoline prices stabilized in the Bay Area and across California on Monday after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the state Air Resources Board to take emergency steps to increase the amount of gasoline available to fuel stations.
The average price at the pump in the Bay Area was $4.68 a gallon on Monday, unchanged from Sunday. However, that was up 46 cents, or 11 percent, from a week ago, according to information supplied by the online site Gas Buddy.
Wholesale prices in California fell about 12 percent Monday compared with Friday, and experts say refineries could cut their prices by 50 cents a gallon in coming weeks because of the drop in wholesale costs.
"Gasoline prices will probably peak this week and next, and in about two weeks, you will start to see a decline in prices," said Richard Hastings, macroeconomic strategist for Global Hunter Securities.
Prices flattened after the governor ordered the state board to allow refiners to immediately sell the cheaper-to-produce California winter blend of gasoline, which normally isn't sold until Oct. 31. But while that may bring down pump prices in the short term, the longer-range trend for prices remains tilted higher, analysts warned Monday.
The recent huge spike in gasoline prices was brought on by hiccups and outages for refineries and other key cogs of the statewide fuel system. Among the woes: Chevron's refinery in Richmond remains at reduced capacity following a major fire two months ago.
"In the coming months, I think the price will be lower than where it is now," said Severin Borenstein, co-Director of the Energy Institute at the Haas School of Business. "This is a very unusual situation with these supply problems."
But Gregg Laskoski, a senior petroleum analyst with the Gas Buddy online site, which tracks the gasoline markets, believes motorists in California face more pain at the pump.
"We will continue to see a trend toward higher prices," Laskoski said. "Prices may go down for a little bit, but they never return to the lower prices of years past. People ask me, when will prices in California return to normal. But you have to wonder, what is normal?"

A study released in June added to the growing mound of evidence that the too-clean-for-health hypothesis might be on track. That study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, found that Amish children who were raised on farms were less likely to develop allergies and asthma than their peers.
Why would exposure to dirt and microbes make a kid less sensitive to pollen and the like?
For one thing, it's exposure to pathogens that allows the immune system to become fine-tuned as it learns to differentiate between harmful and harmless irritants.
Beyond this, exposure to certain bacteria gives the immune system's dedicated "fighters" something to do.

First up, a quick cape! Using one of my kid's capes from the dress-up box as the pattern, I traced the cape shape onto one piece of fabric, cut it out, and trimmed it with bias tape. The velcro closure is topped with the birthday boy's initial to personalize it a bit.
this tutorial on Aesthetic Nest ... it will blow your mind!)
The rest of the ensemble was made with a lot of help from the far reaches of the internet. The superhero mask was made using the tutorial by Hazelnuts and the power cuffs were from the tutorial by See Kate Sew on The Train to Crazy. The silver fabric is pleather and works great for these projects, because like felt, it does not fray.
On the back of the cape, I added a lightning bolt using the applique patterns from The Long Thread.

Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of this amendment to H.R. 5854, the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 2013. I also want to thank my colleagues--Mr. Gosar, Mr. Steve King, and Mr. Amash--for joining me in cosponsoring this amendment.
Mr. Chairman, my amendment would ensure that no funds made available by H.R. 5854 could be used to implement, administer, or enforce the Davis-Bacon Act requirements for government contracts.
Mr. Chairman, the Davis-Bacon Act is an anachronistic law that was enacted during the Great Depression to prevent wayfaring contractors from lowballing local construction bids. The sponsors of this act originally intended for it to discriminate against nonunionized black workers in favor of white workers belonging to white-only unions. This vestigial remnant of the Jim Crow era has no place in our military construction contracts and should be abandoned.
Furthermore, the Davis-Bacon Act results in billions of wasted taxpayer dollars every year. The act requires Federal construction contractors to pay their workers higher government-mandated wages, which would be as much as 1 1/2 times greater than their basic pay rate. This results in artificially high costs of construction, Mr. Chairman, which are ultimately shouldered by American taxpayers. Contractors wishing to offer a lower bid would still be required by law to pay their employees the higher government-mandated wage and file a weekly report of the wages paid to each worker. This has a particularly negative effect on small businesses as they are often unable to compete due to the Davis-Bacon wage and benefits requirements, which reduces competition and further inflates contract rates.
Moreover, Mr. Chairman, Davis-Bacon was enacted before the Fair Labor Standards Act and the National Labor Relations Act; and, according to GAO, these acts have rendered Davis-Bacon obsolete and unnecessary. There are a number of laws passed by this body that protect construction workers without the discriminatory intent and effect of Davis-Bacon.
During this time of fiscal austerity and responsibility, Congress must do all it can to lower Federal contract costs and decrease the burden on American taxpayers. This amendment is an attempt to stop the hemorrhage of wasteful spending and rein in our debt.
I urge my colleagues to support this amendment that would ensure no funds are made available by H.R. 5854 that could be used to implement, administer, or enforce the wasteful Davis-Bacon Act, and I yield back the balance of my time, Mr. Chairman.

Day Motor Co. Inc. – Ford Sales & Service – 1926 Syracuse Auto Show Ad – Syracuse, NY

New York City has led many lives. In a place that is famous for never resting, sometimes the only history that survives are the buildings that go quietly untouched and the painted signs that are slowly fading from their bricks.
Frank Jump has been documenting this unsung history for the last 20 years. His latest book, Fading Ads of New York City celebrates this rarely recognized piece of history. So we thought his new book would be a good excuse to ask Jump to share some of the automotive related advertisements he's collected over the years.
He sent us an assortment of everything from carriage builders to tires. Some ads are from the book, and a few others can be found on his blog. Most of these are from the New York City area, but Jump has gone well beyond the five boroughs to find his art. For example, if the ad in the full photo gallery that simply states "Sign and Auto Painting" seems a little too small potatoes for NYC, that's probably because it is from Evel Knievel's hometown of Butte, Montana.
Jump's photos are a worthwhile journey into a world of art and history that are exposed to the masses every day but are appreciated by few. Check out the full photo gallery for more auto pics, go to Jump's blog for all types of other signs, or get the book to see them all in high-gloss glory.

Stars and Barbs
As if Hollywood wasn't so ridiculous these days it actually needed to be lampooned, the makers of Forbidden Broadway—which viciously parodied way-serious theater dramatists in the '90s—have brought you a musical zings-and-daggers revue of the icons and schleps of Tinseltown. Forbidden Hollywood is a small show, only two ultratalented men and two dead-on mimicry women, but it's a fun, short show as well, something to get moderately gussied-up for and take in on an evening otherwise filled with the truly horrific cinema offered on an OC screen near you. And yes, it is still fun to make fun of Hollywood, even if it is quite easy.
Stars run through the mill come in the old and new variety. There are the anticipated shots at an irritatingly naive Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz, Barbra Streisand (who gets the KO positioned between Louis Armstrong and Carol Channing in a riotous rendition of "Shut Up, Barbra"), Disney's animated corporate mania, Titanic, and Gone with the Wind. But there are some special knocks at Liza—who deserves it more these days than her sweet, drunkard mother ever did—and her monstrosity of a wedding, as well as digs at my personal "I hate you so much it makes me want to have sex with you" trash can Cline Dion, the incredibly dim Keanu Reeves and the mousy Winona "Watch Your Wallet" Ryder.
Especially pleasing is the Nicole Kidman/Moulin Rouge/Tom Cruise-is-gay/prenuptial jaunt. But the most deserved—though least-heeded—blast is directed at Hollywood moguls who insist on taking grand Broadway material, stripping away the songs and charm, and squeezing it into a projector, ill-cast and rotten, as is the case in the upcoming Chicago starring Richard Gere, Queen Latifah and Rene Zellweger. Pass the barf bag.
Actors extraordinaire Eric Gutman, Eric Lee Johnson, Kathryn Kendall and Leisa Mather are spot-on with their impersonations. Though they seldom feign the visage of the stars they destroy, the foursome have the mannerisms and—more often than not—voices down to a tee. Especially noteworthy imitations are Ann-Margret ("Bye, Bye Thirty"); Babs (twice); a grin-laden, monkeyesque Gene Kelly; and Julie Andrews chirping out, "Stupidcarelessfictionalnonsensicalverboseness." Yeah, we were howling.

|Ahhh.. so that's the deal with this climb. I thought the wide crack was Chicken Legs. I started on top of this climb on the ledge and left a little bit and did what I thought was supposed to be a 5.8 crack and the second pitch to this, but it certainly was not 5.8. Maybe one move of 5.6 or 5.7 and the rest was really easy, with an easy walk off up top.

UH??, there's a reason why Chicken Legs is called as such -- this climb & Reptilian continue past the first block for better second pitches & also to achieve their respective technical ratings (Andrew, I think you did the proper 2nd pitch to Reptilian. Chicken Legs is a variant that has an erosion feature that looks like, guess what, a couple of chicken legs). Both should be walk-offs if I remember correctly.
One thing that is really wild is these routes offer a unique vantage looking at the burned vs unburned ridgelines and draws; like some oases in the desert, really unexpected.
