DS will be 6 weeks tomorrow, and I am fairly certain he is going through the 6 week growth spurt. He also has pretty severe reflux and laryngomalacia.
Anyway, while I don't think I have an oversupply, I know I have OALD, at least for DS. I the evenings, he wants to comfort nurse, but he gets so upset because he ends up getting milk. He pulls of, gags, chokes and screams, but he still wants to suck, so we repeat this pattern over several hours, with a few short catnaps in between.
Today I was able to get him to take a pacifier so I could get a break from his incessant eating (again, 6 month growth spurt - think nursing for 30-45 min every hour, so only 15 min naps between feeds). I am wondering, since he seems ok with it, if it is acceptable to use the paci as a tool in the evenings when it seems he just wants to suck for comfort? My only concern is that if at some point he decides he really wants to eat, I wouldn't know, but I have been told babies won't accept a paci if they really are hungry and want to eat.
I am also wondering, since I have read about possible benefits of pacifiers for reflux babies, if anyone has a "strategy" or some kind of schedule that would help me comfort him with the paci without jeopardizing our BF relationship? When he took it earlier today, he seemed less gassy, less gagging/choking, and had a nice big poop right after his nap. Could be coincidence, but since he nurses a lot to soothe his throat and that causes "overeating" a paci seems lie a good option to me.

What is the best automotive tire repair kit (replacing a spare tire)?
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
If I wanted to stop carrying a spare tire to improve gas milage, what would be the best product to use to repair a flat?0
I know many people who absolutely swear by these previously reviewed Tire Plugs. They may not completely rid the need for a spare tire, but they are affordable enough that they are worth carrying around in the car in case you get a flat and can't get to a body/tire shop locally.
Jason, that may not be such a great idea. If you've got a leaking tire because of a punctured tread (not sidewall) or bad bead seal, there are a number of products- plugs, compressors, tire pumps, sealants, etc.- that can help you out, but most of the tire failures I've encountered on the highway were beyond fixing with any kind of repair kit. I don't know how much you hope to reduce your gas consumption by carrying no spare at all, but if you're dead set on it, the best tool for you might be an AAA card,
Super expensive run-flat tires, maybe? How much driving are you doing that you expect significant savings from taking 30 pounds out of the vehicle? You'd get the same weight savings by not filling your gas tank all the way and leaving 6 gallons of airspace.
Also, how far away from major interstates do you drive? Like Dave said, #1 tool for your situation would be roadside assistance, but that didn't help me coming back from Burning Man last year; stuck on state road 447 in the NW corner of Nevada w/ no cell signal.
Former tire store manager, tire man, & auto mechanic. Not currently in any of those trades.
Run-flat tires typically add more weight and subtract more gas mileage than carrying a spare. The technology is evolving, though.
Tire plug kits (which you absolutely should carry and learn to use) only work on tread punctures - they do not work on sidewall punctures, concussive blowouts, shifted belts, or large tread penetrations like slashes or tears. Get a kit at Pep Boys or a similar outfit.
Canned "Fix-a-flat" spooge doesn't work on anything that could not be better fixed with a plug. In addition, tire mechanics HATE it when you use that junk - when they try to work on your tire, either it will be glued onto the rim (if the stuff is completely dry) which makes both removing the rim and seating a new tire difficult, or the stuff will still be liquid, which will result in the tire guy getting splashed with a pint of nasty rubbery glue when the coates machine breaks the rim free. If you use that crap, ALWAYS TELL THE TIRE GUY when you inevitably have to have the tire worked on professionally. If he knows, he can dodge the splashing goo, if he doesn't, he will hate you and may do a poor quality job in revenge (if he is a petty person).
Tubes and patches require removal of the tire from the wheel. The tools to do this in less than half an hour weigh more than a spare and an inexperienced person can easily tear the tire bead (I can do it with a pair of heavy steel tire spoons, a shorty sledgehammer, and a strong compressor - but I am physically large and have thousands of hours of experience).
In short, the other posters are right. The only real substitute for a spare is a triple-A card, and that only works if you don't take long trips and don't travel into areas where there is no phone coverage. Carry a spare.
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.Tell us what you love.

If you are trying to describe a phenomenon rigorously, correlate aggregate parameters in such a way that all the units cancel out. For example, don't study the effect of changing pipe diameter, which has units of distance. Study changes of pipe diameter divided by pipe length, which has units of distance divided by distance. The result is dimensionless. These correlations are more resilient to changes in materials and scale. — David R. Throop, chemical engineer, Austin, Texas

Some people call beans fruits, some people call beans vegetables. This can still be up for debate but nutritionists all agree that beans are probably the healthiest food you can add to your diet. They contain a huge amount of health benefits and are easy to prepare.
Beans contain a huge amount of fiber which is fantastic for your body because it keeps your digestive system running smoothly. Protein is also abundant in beans, which is vital to repairing tissues in the body. They also contain a large variety of vitamins such as Vitamins A, B, C as well as calcium, iron, folic acid, and potassium. All fantastic vitamins and minerals to keep your body and skin healthy.
Probably the most exciting news I learned about beans is that they contain a great deal of antioxidants which protect the body from free radicals and help to prevent aging! Antioxidants are also important to your health as they prevent some cancers. Research has recently shown that beans can reduce the risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancer.
Now that you realize that adding beans to your diet is important, you are probably wondering what kind to choose. They are all fantastic so it basically comes down to your personal preference: black, kidney, navy, pinto, or lima. They each have a bit of a different taste so you can choose what kind you like. If you don't want to eat them on their own or as a side dish, they are excellent added to stews, and of course – chili! Combine the types of beans you add to get a great variety in flavors.
Dried beans generally are the best choice as the canned types usually come in syrup that contains lots of salt. Cooking dried beans is fairly easy but if you don't have the time or means to cook beans – simply rinse the beans that come in a can to remove most of the salt.

Ellis 3-run double in 9th lifts Dodgers past Giants
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A.J. Ellis didn't have to do much guessing when he came up to face Giants closer Sergio Romo with the bases loaded in the ninth. Having been a part of this rivalry his entire big league career, Ellis knew exactly what to expect.
He was right.
Ellis hit a three-run double off Romo to back a third straight stellar start by All-Star Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat slumping San Francisco 4-1 on Sunday.
"It's a great thing about the Dodgers and Giants, there's no secrets," Ellis said. "With Sergio right there, you know what his bread and butter is. You know he's trying to throw a slider. Fortunately for me and for the team I found a ball that I could hit."
With the win, the Dodgers moved into sole possession of second place in the NL West heading into a three-game series with division-leading Arizona.
Ellis' game-winning hit capped a heated series between these two long-time rivals. Players from both sides jawed at one another throughout the three games, and Romo even mocked Dodgers slugger Hanley Ramirez after securing a save on Saturday.
Romo didn't have anything to say after Sunday's game. He quickly dressed then brushed past waiting reporters in the Giants clubhouse without speaking.
The Dodgers didn't seem too concerned about it. Their fourth consecutive series win moved them ahead of the Giants and Rockies, 4 1-2 games behind the Diamondbacks.
"We need to win games like that," said Kershaw, who improved to 11-4 lifetime against the Giants. "We've shown we can swing the bats and blow some guys out recently. Tight games like that we're going to need a clutch hit and A.J. came through today. That was huge."
Kershaw (8-5), a candidate to start the All-Star game for the National League, wasn't as crisp as he'd been in his previous two starts but still only allowed one run over eight innings. He struck out three and overcame hitting his first batter of the season.
The Dodgers ace allowed the Giants only run in the third after Guillermo Quiroz doubled, took third on a wild pitch and scored on Andres Torres' sacrifice fly.
Kershaw retired the next seven batters before walking pitcher Chad Gaudin to open the sixth. But Torres grounded into a double play and Marco Scutaro flew out to end the inning.
Kenley Jansen worked the ninth for his ninth save.
"He just imposes his will on not just these guys but everybody," Ellis said. "He was attacking the strike zone and keeping them off balance."
Ramirez doubled and tripled to extend his career-high hitting streak to 18 games for Los Angeles while rookie Yasiel Puig added two hits, including a single that started the rally in the ninth.
"There's no question it's a tough loss," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "These guys are resilient and handling this as well as they can."
Puig singled off Romo (3-4) to open the ninth. Adrian Gonzalez followed with a sharp single that first baseman Buster Posey initially knocked down. Posey tried flipping the ball to shortstop Joaquin Arias covering second but threw the ball into left field for an error.
When San Francisco third baseman Pablo Sandoval raced to retrieve the ball, Puig alertly advanced to third. Ramirez was retired on a comebacker, Andre Ethier was intentionally walked to load the bases and Juan Uribe struck out before Ellis lined a two-out double into left-center.
That secured Kershaw's third win over the Giants this season while keeping the NL's ERA leader in line for a possible start in the All-Star game in New York on July 16. Bochy, who will lead the National League, will make the decision.
"I had pretty good command other than (walking) the pitcher," said Kershaw, who has a 0.79 ERA in 10 games at the Giants waterfront stadium. "It's a great park to pitch in. I just like it here."
Gaudin, who had been out since getting hit in the right elbow by a line drive from Miami's Derek Dietrich on June 20, was just as sharp as the Dodgers' three-time All-Star.
He retired 12 of 13 during one stretch and worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the seventh by striking out Uribe before departing. Gaudin finished with nine strikeouts — his most since June 28, 2009 — and one intentional walk.
Ramirez tripled leading off the second against Gaudin and Ethier followed with a bloop single to drive in the Dodgers first run.
Puig, who struck out twice in his first three at-bats after fanning four times on Saturday, made a diving catch on a fly ball by Quiroz in the eighth.
NOTES: LHP Mike Kickham was optioned to Triple-A Fresno before the game to make room for Gaudin. … OF Matt Kemp was held out of the lineup to rest his ailing shoulder but is expected back in the Dodgers lineup on Monday. … Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly said newly acquired Ricky Nolasco will replace LHP Chris Capuano in the Dodgers rotation. … Giants RHP Santiago Casilla will pitch at least twice more in the minors before rejoining the big league club, Bochy said. … San Francisco also got good news on RHP Ryan Vogelsong, who has missed the past two months with a broken right hand. Vogelsong played catch before Sunday's game and could resume throwing off a mound as early as the All-Star break. … Home run king Barry Bonds was in attendance. … RHP Zack Greinke (6-2) pitches the series opener in Arizona for the Dodgers. … San Francisco RHP Tim Lincecum (4-9) will go against the Mets seeking his first win since June 4.

As everyone knows, just as CDs supplanted vinyl and cassettes, MP3 and other digital-music formats are well on their way to replacing CDs as the most popular way to listen to music.
In our minds that usually means more convenience but worse sound – though that's a whole other story which we've already covered extensively in our 'Is studio recording killing music' and 'Does music sound better today than 30 years ago' exclusive podcasts.
Streaming music using services like Last FM and Spotify are becoming increasingly popular and physical sales are continuing on their way down but a great many people still want to have something tangible.
CD sales account for 80% of total album sales, and although still tiny numbers, vinyl LPs purchased in 2008 almost doubled to 1.88 million units up from 0.99 million in 2007.
So what we want to know is, how do YOU listen to your music? We know you love music and we know you care how it sounds but we don't know how you listen.
I'm guessing it's a combination of the above but let us know, and even better, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or send us links to pictures of your set-ups – or indeed your favourite Walkman.
As you can see from our artful photograph , we primarily use Sonos and our Zeppelin though we do have in-wall CCM817s too. And should you wish to know, as I write we are listening to a 62 track Crosby Stills and Nash marathon.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

This past week was all about defiant and, admittedly, hilarious on-the-job rage, which I secretly snicker at in understanding. (See the Jet Blue flight attendant who lost it last Friday after an argument with a passenger, deploying the emergency slide on the runway and sliding off the job—after grabbing "at least one" beer, according to the AP article.)
Now we have proof positive that moms are not immune to the emotional outbursts either. A Pennsylvania woman, Jessica Hollis, was stuck in traffic last Saturday after leaving the Fayette County Fair. She got into it with the driver in front of her, then used a unique, um, mom-weapon to get her point across: She wiped a dirty diaper across the driver's back windshield, according to that AP article.
Completely out of line, yes. Disgusting, definitely. But don't tell me you haven't fantasized about your own acts of mommy road rage.

Of course, it's called The Foundation. But…a former client of mine booked a multi-hour appointment with a prominent high-end escort. She apparently hadn't bothered to shower and her legs were unshaven. I doubt she'll ever buy my book because she probably thinks there is nothing she doesn't already know.

Forest Fruit
- Availability: In Stock
- Brand: Cosmic Clouds
- Product Code: CCFFE
- Reward Points: 45
- Price in reward points: 899
Cosmic Clouds Shortfills: Nicotine is supplied in a separate 10ml bottle known as a "Nichshot" and is included in the price. The Nicshot(s) must be added to the e-liquid in order to reach your desired strength. 0mg e-liquids don't require any Nicshots.
Forest Fruit: To get an idea of what our Forest Fruit e-liquid tastes like, try Imagining fresh woodland berries in the morning dew. Fresh… fruity… and packed full of flavour.
- Ratio: 70/30
Which strength e-liquid should I choose?
This depends on how powerful your machine is. If you run your machine under 20 watts or on a coil rated above 1.2 Ohms, then you might need a higher nicotine dosage in your e-liquid. The higher the wattage of your machine, the less nicotine you need. So somebody using a typical 0.5 Ohm coil running it at about 35 watts will probably be fine with a 3mg.
Which coil should I use?
Most eCig manufacturers normally produce a selection of different coils for each of their devices. The power of a coil is measured in Ohms. The lower the Ohms, the more power that coil requires in order to get to the right temperature. If your looking for big vapour, then you would use a coil rated 0.5 Ohms or lower. If you wanted a coil that was good for smoking like a cigarette, then anything above 1.2 Ohms will be fine. Coils with higher Ohm ratings require less power and produce less vapour.
What wattage should I set my device to?
This depends completely on the coil you are using. As discussed above, there are many different types of coils, each with a recommended minimum and maximum wattage.
Why is my device leaking?
There are normally two main reasons why this could be happening.
1) You are running the coil too low. Not giving the coil enough power means it can't turn the liquid into vapour, resulting in flooding or leaking.
2) You are using a powerful coil and puffing on it like a cigarette. Coils rated at 0.5 Ohms or lower are specifically designed for Direct Lung vaping.
Why do i get a burning taste?
This is normally a sign that the coil is ready to be replaced. This will also happen if you let your juice run too low.
Why must I Prime my coil?
Priming your coil avoids any unwanted burning tastes when firing up a new coil for the first time. To prime a coil, simply put 4-5 drops of e-liquid into THE TOP before firing it up. The e-liquid will soak into the cotton and this will help you avoid any undesired results.
Do I get a warranty?
JuiceShop offers a full 28 day in house warranty on all our hardware. Should you experience any issues with a device purchased from us, then please contact us withing the 28 day period. For returns after 28 days, please refer to the manufacturers return procedure.
If you wish to exchange a product, the item must still be in its original unopened state.
We can not accept returns on e-liquids.

I first wrote about Bowe Bergdahl three years ago. He could be your son or mine. Perhaps you've seen a photo of the 27-year-old Idaho native online or posted on Facebook. Bergdahl, an American soldier, was taken prisoner by the Taliban in Afghanistan in June 2009. He was a 23-year-old private first class when he went missing.
There he remains, his life hanging by a thread that can be cut by his captors at any time. He is a young man paying a big price for his service to our country. Over the years, the Taliban has released five different videos showing Bowe in captivity. Several prisoner exchange deals have been negotiated and dropped.
The haunting image of Bowe brings to mind all those who serve in the military in the far corners of the world. Today there are some 164,000 American servicemen and women in 150 different countries. What they all have in common is being away — away from home, especially through the holiday season, when the heart pulls us toward family and friends.
Some things don't change. For as long as I can remember, there have been troops fighting wars overseas, and their sacrifice has always seemed greatest during the holidays. Growing up, I watched Bob Hope and his troupe of entertainers move their road show, from the bases of World War II to bases in Vietnam. The photos of those guys in the front row — the ones in wheelchairs — always grabbed the heart. As the cameras scanned the audiences, the smiling and laughing faces of the boys — and they were boys — struck a poignant counterpoint to the deadly serious business taking place on battlefields nearby.
Today we have troops still fighting in Afghanistan. Syria is torn by civil war, and some leaders here urge military intervention by the U.S. The facts of today's conflicts are troubling, positive outcomes are doubtful, the corruption of governments like the one in Afghanistan compound the problems, yet we press on. Every week, bombs explode, troops get caught in firefights and young men and women die. They are called to serve and they do, in a gesture that goes beyond politics and the particulars of this or any war.

Want to know what's going on at home when you're away? D-Link is providing two new ways to peep in. The company just announced a pair of Cloud Camera products, so you can monitor your home 24 hours a day — with 720p HD video.
The Cloud Camera 2200 (DCS-2132L) is designed for indoor use, with the Cloud Camera Camera 2300 (DCS-2310L) including the option for outdoor monitoring. Both are similar in specs, except that the 2300 has weatherproof casing.
Once installed, users can access live feeds through the mydlink.com portal online or via the free mydlink Lite app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
Besides a 720p HD image, both cameras provide 24-hour surveillance using a passive infrared (PIR) sensor and motion detection. Each camera also has a microSD/SDHC slot for local recording, as well as digital zoom and a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way communication.
"Addressing consumer demand for more enhanced monitoring options, particularly HD quality and outdoor weather resistance, D-Link's latest Cloud Cameras provide a range of desired features for customers looking to monitor the inside or outside of their home or small business," said Daniel Kelley, D-Link's associate vice president of marketing. "From high resolution video to enhanced night vision and motion detection, D-Link's latest Cloud Camera solutions make it easier than ever to keep any eye on loved ones, pets and valuable possessions both indoors and outdoors 24 hours a day during any season whether on a computer or mobile device."
The Cloud Camera 2200 is wireless, while the 2300 does require a hardwired Ethernet connection. Both Cloud Camera options will start selling this month for $199.99 and $299.99, respectively.

Figure 1 is a simplified block flow diagram for co-producing hydrogen (H2) in a current technology integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant without carbon sequestration. Syngas from the slagging gasifier is cooled by generating high pressure (HP) steam in the high temperature gas cooling (HTGC) system before it is water quenched and scrubbed to remove fine particulates. The scrubbed syngas then goes through a sour shift process to further generate H2 by reacting carbon monoxide (CO) with steam. Depending on the desired amount of H2 to be produced, supplemental steam injection into the sour shift feed may be necessary. The syngas from sour shift is then cooled in low temperature gas cooling (LTGC) before mercury removal, and followed by hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal in a single-stage acid gas removal (AGR) unit. Only a small portion of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that is co-absorbed with the H2S is removed in the AGR. Part of the sweet syngas from the AGR is routed through the pressure swing absorption (PSA) unit to recover a 99.9% purity H2 product. The remaining sweet syngas from AGR is bypassed to the gas turbine (GT) combustor as fuel for power production. After H2 removal, the residuals from the PSA unit consist of low pressure (LP) purge gas containing all of the CO and CO2, and 10 to 30% of the H2 in the original PSA feed. This LP purge is subsequently compressed and added to the GT combustor inlet fuel to increase turbine power output. Acid gas from the AGR unit is sent to the sulfur recovery unit (SRU) to recover sulfur as a byproduct. Sulfuric acid production can be used as an alternative to the SRU.
Table 1 lists the published overall performance and efficiency of this type of IGCC/H2 co-production plant. The plant design is based on advanced dry feed entrained flow gasification technology, using Illinois No. 6 coal as feed, and with conventional acid gas removal (AGR) and PSA H2 separation technology. Performance and efficiency shown are for maximum power co-production.

Hi everyone!
I have been coming to this site now for some time and finally decided to join. I enjoy the resources and the forums immensely.
I am learning latin now just for fun and because I have a passion for roman history. I started with lingua latina and quickly switched to wheelock's latin which I am now on chapter 34. I must be one of those odd-balls that enjoy learning latin through memorization of grammar .
A brief introduction of myself is that I am an undergraduate student studying mathematics and history (an odd combination I know). I have been slowly chipping away at wheelock's with my ultimate goal being able to comfortably read some of my favorite books in the original latin. And perhaps years from now I'll be bold enough to take on greek .
Thanks for reading,

Rolla residents could be surveyed to find out what they think, believe or feel about city services, if the council decides to go ahead with another bi-annual survey.
Rolla residents could be surveyed to find out what they think, believe or feel about city services, if the council decides to go ahead with another bi-annual survey.
The pollsters, if hired, would also ask residents about supporting a couple of taxes.
At the 6:30 p.m. meeting tonight at Rolla City Hall in the Council Chambers, the elected leaders will consider another citizen attitude survey, according to the agenda.
"The city has participated in five bi-annual ETC Leisure Vision Surveys since 2002," City Administrator John Butz writes in his agenda commentary. "Council review is needed to proceed with the survey in late February/early March."
A decision now would make the results available in April, which Butz describes as "an ideal opportunity to kick off a council workshop on strategic planning initiatives."
Butz said the questions on the survey would be standard questions asked of several communities for comparison, plus a few questions pertaining to Rolla.
"The value in the statistically valid survey is that the questions have been consistently used throughout each round, which allows an effective trending of the results locally and effective benchmarking with the 20-plus communities enrolled in the regional comparison," Butz writes.
Butz notes that in addition to the polling company's standardized questions, the city will be allowed to ask three to five specific questions for feedback on local issues.
"We are proposing two questions on park funding issues, one question on the local use tax, and two questions on the smoking ordinance," Butz writes. See below:
The agenda packet for tonight's Rolla City Council meeting includes a draft of the questionnaire that would be used if council approves the ETC Leisure Vision Survey.
Most of the questions are standard, having been used before here and in other communities, and the responses will be used to find or infer trends.
A few questions, though, would address local concerns. Here are the proposed questions for the specifically local issues:
12. The City of Rolla implemented a comprehensive indoor smoking ban in January 2012. This ban covered all businesses with employees, including bars, bowling alley and restaurants. Knowing this, which of the following best describes your correct opinions about the ban?
13. Since the ban was implemented, how has the frequency that you visit bars and restaurants in the City of Rolla changed?
14. Businesses physically located in Rolla are required to collect and remit sales taxes on retail purchases. On the other hand, businesses located outside the state that make sales to Rolla residents online (Internet) are generally not subject to these taxes. This puts local businesses at a competitive disadvantage. Knowing this, which of the following best describes your opinion?
14a. How would your level of support for the tax change if the revenue from the tax were used to support economic development in the city?
15. To reduce costs, the City of Rolla merged the Parks Department and the SplashZone/Centre (rec center). The merger eliminated four full-time employees. Now that the Rec Center and SplashZone bond has been paid in full, the City's 1/2-cent park sales tax is set to expire in December 2013. The City's Park and Recreation Department's operating budget is currently $2.4 million per year. Nearly two-thirds of this funding ($1.55 million) comes from user fees, $225,000 comes from a property tax levy and $625,000 comes from the City's reserves and general operating fund. Since the city cannot continue using reserve funds for an extended period of time, which of the following would you support to help insure the long-term viability of the city's parks system?
16. The City of Rolla has a 1/2-cent Parks Sales Tax dedicated to The Centre (recreation center) that is set to expire in December 2013. Instead of letting the tax expire completely, the tax could be reduced to 1/4-cent and renewed for another 10 years to (1) help fund basic park maintenance and Centre operations, (2) help fund needed improvements to the park system, and (3) improve public safety by reducing general tax support for parks. Knowing this, how supportive would you be of renewing a smaller Parks Sales Tax if the funds were used for the purposes just described?
In other business or discussion:
• Environmental Services Director Brady Wilson will present a proposed ordinance that would revise existing law regarding special residential collections.
• Councilman Bill Lindgren's request that a section of Highway 72 be renamed in honor of the late Gov. Mel Carnahan will be considered.
• Police Chief Mark Kearse will ask the council to accept a bid for 23 Remington shotguns.
• Mayor Bill Jenks will request motions of support for his reappointments of Terry Harris to the Tax Increment Financing Commission and of Monte Shields to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Both would serve until February 2017.
• The council will consider moving the second meeting of the month, currently scheduled for Feb. 18, which is Presidents Day, to Tuesday, Feb. 19.
• Final reading of an ordinance pertaining to sign regulations will be heard. Community Development Director John Petersen, who presented this for first reading at the last January meeting, will make the presentation again. The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended the changes.
• Written reports from The Centre, Parks and Recreation Commission, Rolla Municipal Utilities, Board of Public Works and the Planning and Zoning Commission will be received. Minutes of the January meetings, both open and closed, will be considered and approved.

Philippe Bosset Strings
These strings are the best Argentine alternative I've come across. I do find them a tad bit stiffer but that's to be expected with any hex core string. What I really like about these strings is the very strong fundamental they produce. Argies have more overtones ringing out which you may or may not like. If you have a very wet, ringy guitar then the Bosset strings may be the antidote as they tend to suppress excessive overtone ringing. Also, they seem to produce somewhat thicker mids for a more "meaty" sound. Nice strings!

Blog of the Week Vital Perspective has a complete transcript of Hassan Nasrallah's statement at a press conference last Friday. It is delusional; Nasrallah speaks exactly as he would if Israel had invaded Lebanon out of the blue; as though his own terrorists had not initiated the hostilities with a cross-border raid in which they murdered eight Israelis and kidnapped two; as though his own organization had not made the continued conflict necessary by raining hundreds of rockets onto Israeli civilians; as though Hezbollah were not responsible for the deaths of Lebanese civilians through its staging of attacks from residential areas and use of Lebanese citizens as human shields. Actually, now that I think about it, he reminds me a lot of Noam Chomsky.
Let's hope that his claim that Hezbollah is achieving military victory over the IDF is equally delusional.

Plunging BT sales hit every branch of the biz on way down
Even Openreach couldn't save it this time. Pesky watchdogs blamed
BT reported to the City this morning a total revenue fall of 6 per cent for the national telco's final three months of 2012.
It said sales, excluding specific items relating to "regulatory decisions" on historic Ethernet pricing, hit £4.5bn during the period, down from £4.77bn a year earlier. Adjusted pre-tax profit climbed 7 per cent to £675m compared with 2011's third quarter of £628m.
Every division of the BT empire saw revenues decline in Q3. The wholesale and global services wings continued to record a sales drop. Retail also stuck to its downward spiral.
But more surprisingly, Openreach - which manages BT's network - reported that revenue was down 2 per cent from £1.3bn in 2011 to £1.27bn for the quarter.
On revenue, BT broadly blamed the fall on "tough conditions in Europe and the financial services sector".
More specifically, the telco said of its Openreach network arm, whose fibre broadband deployment has now "passed" the 13 million premises mark in Britain - thereby slightly overtaking its competitor Virgin Media:
The continued impact of regulatory price changes reduced revenue by around £50m. This was partially offset by growth in ethernet and fibre.
On the retail side of the business, the company said that it had added 122,000 broadband customers during the quarter - that's down from 146,000 in 2011's Q3. ®

Scientists study possible increase of hurricanes in Hawai'iUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Outreach Specialist, International Pacific Research Center
News of a hurricane threat sends our hearts racing, glues us to the Internet for updates, and makes us rush to the store to stock up on staples. Hawaiʻi, fortunately, has been largely free from these violent storms in the recent past, only two having made landfall in more than 30 years.
Now a study headed by a team of scientists at the International Pacific Research Center at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, shows that Hawaiʻi could see a two- or three-fold increase in tropical cyclones by the last quarter of this century. The study, which appeared in the May 5, 2013, online issue of Nature Climate Change, though, leaves open the question, how worried Island residents should get.
"Computer models run with global warming scenarios generally project a decrease in tropical cyclones worldwide. This, though, may not be what will happen with local communities," said lead author Hiroyuki Murakami.
To determine whether tropical cyclones will become more frequent in Hawaiʻi with climate change, Murakami and climate expert Bin Wang at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Meteorology Department joined forces with Akio Kitoh at the Meteorological Research Institute and the University of Tsukuba in Japan. The scientists compared in a state-of-the-art, high-resolution global climate model the recent history of tropical cyclones in the North Pacific with a future (2075–2099) scenario, under which greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, resulting in temperatures about 2°C higher than today.
"In our study, we looked at all tropical cyclones, which range in intensity from tropical storms to full-blown category 5 hurricanes. From 1979 to 2003, both observational records and our model document that only every four years on average did a tropical cyclone come near Hawaiʻi. Our projections for the end of this century show a two-to-three-fold increase for this region," explained Murakami.
The main factors responsible for the increase are changes in the large-scale moisture conditions, the flow patterns in the wind, and in surface temperature patterns stemming from global warming.
Most hurricanes that might threaten Hawaiʻi now are born in the eastern Pacific, south of the Baja California Peninsula. From June through November the ingredients there are just right for tropical cyclone formation, with warm ocean temperatures, lots of moisture, and weak vertical wind shear. But during the storms' long journey across the 3000 miles to Hawaiʻi, they usually fizzle out due to dry conditions over the subtropical central Pacific and the wind shear from the westerly subtropical jet.
Surprisingly, even though fewer tropical cyclones will form in the eastern Pacific in Murakami's future scenario, we can expect more of them to make their way to Hawaiʻi.
The upper-level westerly subtropical jet will move poleward so that the mean steering flow becomes easterly. Thus, storms from Baja California are much more likely to make it to Hawaiʻi. Furthermore, since the climate models also project that the equatorial central Pacific will heat up, conditions may become more favorable for hurricane formation in the open ocean to the south or southeast of Hawaiʻi.
"Our finding that more tropical cyclones will approach Hawaiʻi as Earth continues to warm is fairly robust because we ran our experiments with different model versions and under varying conditions. The yearly number we project, however, still remains very low," reassured study co-author Wang.

WikipediaRead full entry
- "Tickbird" redirects here. This term is also applied to other birds, e.g. the yellow-headed caracara (Milvago chimachima) of Latin America.
The oxpeckers are two species of bird which make up the family Buphagidae. Some ornithologists regard them as a subfamily Buphaginae within the starling family Sturnidae but they appear to be quite distinct.[1] Oxpeckers are endemic to the savanna of Sub-Saharan Africa. Both the English and scientific names arise from their habit of perching on large mammals (both wild and domesticated) such as cattle, zebras, impalas, hippopotamuses, or rhinoceroses, and eating ticks, small insects, botfly larvae, and other parasites.
According to the more recent studies of Muscicapoidea phylogeny,[1][2] the oxpeckers are an ancient line related to Mimidae (mockingbirds and thrashers) and starlings but not particularly close to either. Considering the known biogeography of these groups, the most plausible explanation seems that the oxpecker lineage originated in Eastern or Southeastern Asia like the other two.[1] This would make the two species of Buphagus something like living fossils, and demonstrates that such remnants of past evolution can possess striking and unique autapomorphic adaptations.
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The oxpeckers are endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, where they occur in most open habitats. They are absent from the driest deserts and the rainforests. Their distribution is restricted by the presence of their preferred prey, specific species of ticks, and the animal hosts of those ticks. The two species of oxpecker are sympatric over much of East Africa and may even occur on the same host animal. The nature of the interactions between the two species is unknown.
Oxpeckers are fairly gregarious.
Diet and feeding[edit]
Oxpeckers feed exclusively on the bodies of large mammals. Certain species are seemingly preferred, whereas others, like the Lichtenstein's hartebeest or Topi are generally avoided. Smaller antelope such as lechwe, duikers and reedbuck are also avoided; the smallest regularly used species is the Impala, probably because of the heavy tick load and social nature of that species. In many parts of their range they now feed on cattle, but avoid camels. They feed on ectoparasites, particularly ticks, as well as insects infesting wounds and the flesh and blood of some wounds as well. They are sometimes classified as parasites, due to the fact that they open wounds on the animals' backs.[3]
Oxpecker/mammal interactions are the subject of some debate and ongoing research. They were originally thought to be an example of mutualism, but recent evidence suggests that oxpeckers may be parasites instead.[4] Oxpeckers do eat ticks, but often the ticks have already fed on the ungulate host and no statistically significant link has been shown between oxpecker presence and reduced ectoparasite load.[4] Oxpeckers have been observed to open new wounds and enhance existing ones in order to drink the blood of their perches.[5] Oxpeckers also feed on the earwax and dandruff of mammals; less is known about the possible benefits of this to the mammal, but it is suspected that this is also a parasitic behaviour.[4] Some oxpecker hosts are intolerant of their presence.[5] Elephants and some antelope will actively dislodge the oxpeckers when they land. Other species tolerate oxpeckers while they search for ticks on the face, which one author says "appears ... to be an uncomfortable and invasive process.[3]
The breeding season of the oxpeckers, in at least one location, is linked to the rainy season, which affects the activity of their mammalian hosts and the tick loads of those hosts. Both courtship and copulation occur on their hosts as well. They nest in holes, usually in trees but sometimes in other types of cavity, including holes in walls. The nests are lined with grasses and also often with hair plucked from their hosts and even livestock such as sheep which are not usually used. The typical clutch is between two to three eggs, but the red-billed oxpecker may lay up to five eggs.

- Yellow-billed oxpecker, Buphagus africanus of most of sub-Saharan Africa.

Bladder Prolapse Sugery
I had bladder prolapse surgery (the sling) about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I could tell within the last few days, something was wrong. I had similar pelvic/bladder symptoms like I had before the surgery. I went back to the doctor. He told me my bladder had prolapsed again on one side (the other side was still intact). I was devastated after putting myself through the surgery and taking off several weeks of work. The doctor and I surmised I must`ve done something wrong, maybe lifted something, etc. Is there anything I can do at this point to try to help this problem, short of repeating the surgery?
Although it is too early to do anything surgically, I am afraid if your bladder has dropped again there is no other solution but reconstructive procedure. However if you are not sexually active you might want to ask your doctor about pessary (a device placed in the vagina to hold up the prolapse).

Wine grapes (Darryl Leniuk/Masterfile photo)
British Columbia is a major wine destination that pairs award-winning wines with spectacular scenery.
Take a self-guided or guided wine tour of BC wineries to discover why Frommer's, Sherman's Travel and The New York Times have all recommended the BC wine experience.
There are more than 200 wineries in BC. They range from intimate, family-run vineyards on pristine Vancouver Island to magnificent estate wineries set amongst sparkling lakes and golden deserts in the Okanagan Valley. To complete a BC wine getaway, some wineries have accommodations, restaurants, bistros or picnic areas.
Join fellow wine lovers at BC wine festivals or combine a winery tour with other activities. Swim or golf in the Okanagan, bike on the Gulf Islands, or explore restaurants in Vancouver.

Thompson Okanagan: BC's major wine-producing region. The Okanagan Valley is home to more than 120 wineries, and the Similkameen Valley was named one of the "5 Best Wine Regions You've Never Heard Of" by Air Canada's enRoute magazine (2009).
Vancouver Island: More than 25 small, family-owned wineries exist here and focus on small-batch, high-quality white, red, sparkling and fruit wines.
Vancouver Coast & Mountains: The Fraser Valley has more than 15 wineries just a short drive from Vancouver.
Kootenay Rockies: A fledgling wine region that produces small-lot premium wines near Creston and Trail.
Cariboo Chilcotin Coast: The rugged Fraser Canyon is the site of the Cariboo's first winery.
Download the 2016 British Columbia Winery Touring Guide and start planning your trip.
The Okanagan Valley has been named a Frommer's "Top Travel Destination," and BC wines consistently rank among the world's best at international competitions. In 2010, BC wines received trophies at the prestigious International Wine & Spirit Competition in London, and earned Best in Show and Gold medals at more than 10 other major international competitions.
An astounding 60 varieties of grapes are grown in BC – everything from Auxerrois to Zweigelt. Popular red wine varietals include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Cabernet Franc. Top white wine varietals include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc.
Many wineries participate in the Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA). This designation guarantees a wine's appellation of origin and stipulates quality standards. In essence, BC VQA indicates the wine is 100 percent from BC. VQA wines can be purchased at VQA wine stores throughout the province.
As the northernmost region of grape growing and winemaking in North America, BC produces some of the world's most sought-after Icewine. Icewine is a sweet dessert wine made from naturally frozen grapes. Icewine grapes are typically harvested at temperatures from -8°C to -20°C/18°F to -4°F between November and February – and often by moonlight!
In the Okanagan, wander the breathtaking estate at Mission Hill or learn about Aboriginal culture at Nk'Mip Cellars. Admire Lake Okanagan views at Gray Monk and CedarCreek.
On Vancouver Island, take in the Cowichan Valley vista at Averill Creek, or sail to nearby Salt Spring Island for an intimate tour of Garry Oaks Winery or Salt Spring Vineyards.
Domaine de Chaberton, the oldest winery near Vancouver, offers wine tours and French cuisine. The Fort Wine Company bottles the bounty of the Fraser Valley with luscious fruit wines, and Vista D'oro offers table wines and artisanal preserves.
Skimmerhorn Winery and Vineyard creates local wine and cuisine with magnificent mountain views of the Kootenay Rockies. Family-owned Fort Berens Estate Winery is the first winery in the rugged Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region.
Depending on your needs, spend a day wine touring or plan a week-long wine vacation in BC. Ask local visitor centres for winery information and maps for a self-guided wine tour. Or arrange for a guided wine tour with a driver in popular regions like the Okanagan Valley and Vancouver Island.
Many wineries offer tours and nearly all offer tastings and onsite sales year-round, but "high season" runs from April until October. Call ahead during the off-season.
Some wineries welcome overnight stays and most are located near communities with plenty of accommodations. Many wineries incorporate food: nibble locally-made treats at a winery picnic area, or enjoy gourmet lunch on a patio overlooking vineyards.
Okanagan wine festivals occur in all seasons, the largest being the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival. Vancouver Island's annual Cowichan Wine & Culinary Festival is also popular. Both regions host festivals combining wine, food, music and art.

Florida's Safe Harbor program is a voluntary conservation incentive plan for private landowners who want to manage their lands to provide habitat for imperiled species. In 2007, under Florida's Wildlife Action Plan, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) initiated a Safe Harbor type program for state-listed species other than the red-cockaded woodpecker, which is already covered under this program. The federal Safe Harbor program was created in 1995 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a conservation tool to help protect threatened and endangered wildlife on private lands. Its purpose is to provide private landowners with assurances that they will not be penalized by endangered species laws, when they manage their land to conserve listed species.
Florida's Safe Harbor program will be modeled after the federal program but the actual form of an agreement can be varied and adaptable. Private landowners can voluntarily develop their own Safe Harbor agreements or agreements can be programmatic, in which case an intermediary such as an agency or conservation organization administers an umbrella-type agreement under which individual landowners are enrolled. Generally, Safe Harbor agreements cover a single listed species but others may be multi-species or habitat based.
Habitat loss is the primary cause of species imperilment today. Over-exploitation of wildlife for commercial purposes, the introduction of harmful exotic organisms, environmental pollution, diseases, and other natural or man-made factors can also affected a species continued existence. Extinction of species does occur naturally but the current rate of extinction is much greater than in the past and species loss continues to increase due to the environmental effects of human activities.
Since a large portion of imperiled species occur on private lands, landowners who actively manage critical habitat for these species can make a significant contribution to their continued existence. Habitat is the area or environment where an animal naturally lives or occurs; it provides the animal with food, water, shelter, and other survival essentials. Managing for wildlife habitat is a part of good land stewardship which fosters healthy sustainable use of natural resources and is beneficial to both wildlife and humans.
SafeHarbor's underlying principle is that in exchange for voluntary cooperation in implementation of specific management practices that benefit state and/or federally listed species, private landowners will receive regulatory assurances against future land use restrictions. In addition to providing regulatory certainty regarding state, and possibly federal, endangered species laws, a crucial component of a Safe Harbor agreement is the creation of a specific habitat management plan for imperiled species recovery that also incorporates the landowner's management goals and is compatible with other land uses such as timber harvesting, cattle production or quail management. To help offset the cost of some land management activities for imperiled species, state and federal cost-share programs are also available to landowners.
After the landowner contacts FWC, a biologist or other appropriate staff will work with them to draft a specific agreement based upon the following procedures:
If your land contains suitable or potentially suitable habitat for imperiled species, you can learn more about the types of management activities that could benefit these species by contacting FWC, USFWS, USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, Florida Forest Service, certain other governmental agencies and conservation organizations, as well as many consulting biologists and foresters. If such activities are consistent with your overall land management objectives, a Safe Harbor Agreement can allow you to pursue them without incurring additional land use restrictions.

The graduation season is finally over. All over the country young people have completed their studies and received the diplomas that, they hope, will unlock a future of their choosing. In Britain the ritual of graduation involves the donning of graduation hoods and gowns (hired at great expense for 20 minutes of glory) and the gathering of the clans, as proud parents line up to watch their sons and daughters cross the line that signifies the final end of childhood.
Our own daughters graduation ceremony was probably typical of thousands being enacted up and down the land. She had attended the medical school of a large metropolitan university, where the number of graduates far exceeded the capacity of the hall to accommodate them. Consequently the various ceremonies were spread out over several days.
When the big day came, she spent the morning in a state of rising panic about the ordeal that lay ahead. The prospect of walking the length of the hall, climbing with dignity the three steps up to the podium, receiving with grace the certificate from the hands of the dean and descending in safety to return to her seat was, she confided, a more daunting challenge than taking her final examinations. I took that remark with a pinch of salt and settled down to enjoy the unfolding pageant.
As he handed out the diplomas, the dean exchanged a few words with each new graduatea simple question like Have you enjoyed your time here? or What are you planning on doing next? To his great credit, he conducted the proceedings with what appeared to be genuine interest and appropriate alacrity, as he processed some 200 newly qualified doctors.
Then he turned his attention to the parents and friends of the newly robed and told us how he had presided over several similar ceremonies that week. Successfully suppressing any hints of jadedness, he recounted the reactions of two particular graduates to his not-too-searching question: What are you going to do next?
The first, a young man, had responded, after a moments thought, Im going to be a world-class brain surgeon. The dean had congratulated him on his graduation and wished him every success in his chosen career.
The second, a few hundred graduates farther down the line, had been asked the same question: What are you going to do next? She had likewise given the question several moments of thoughtful attention before replying: Im going to turn left and walk very carefully down these three steps.
We smiled at the discrepancy between these two ambitions, the lurch from the sublime to the ridiculous, the chasm between idealism and pragmatism. Two ways of looking at life. But are they compatible? And are they realistic? One is about a big and distant dream. The other is about the next few minutes. The story appeals to me, because it captures so succinctly something of the dynamic of the spiritual journey.
We are called to be players in a Big Dream. The dream is Gods dream, and it is nothing less than the fulfilment, under the power of love, of all creation. The Gospel vision is not just another way of doing religion. It is about becoming everything God is dreaming us to be. It is about the very destiny of Homo sapiens. To be part of this adventure is surely what each of us, in our hearts, is longing for. No wonder the aspiring brain surgeon expressed a desire to play his own modest part in the unfolding of the dream.
But the second graduate got it right too. We are called to work out in the finest detail what our very next step should be, in order to live true to the dreams unfolding in our daily living. Both perspectives are potentially world-changing, and the Gospel vision challenges and empowers them both. It coaxes us constantly to make one more step toward the horizon of all we can become, constantly reminding us that there is always more to Gods dream than we dare to imagine. But it also gives us, in Christ, both the model of how to live true to Gods dream, and the empowerment to let that dream become incarnate in the daily details of our own personal circumstances.
Paulo Coehlo recounts in his novel The Alchemist the tale of a little boy who sought out a famous guru for an audience. The wise man sent the boy off to tour his palace and gardens, and to enjoy all he discovered there, but at the same time to carry in his hand a teaspoonful of oil and to bring it back without having spilled any of it. The child returned, the oil unspilled, but he had completely failed to notice the beautiful gardens, the rich tapestries, the great works of art around him. The guru sent him off for a second time, and he returned full of the delights he had seen, but the oil was gone.
The trick, it seems, is to balance the twoto become a top neurosurgeon and manage not to fall over your feet going down the next three steps, to play your own unique part in the great unfolding of Gods dream for creation while carefully discerning the step immediately ahead on the slippery pathways of your personal circumstances. The big vision without the daily detail is merely day-dreaming. The daily detail without the big dream can become just a toilsome trudge.
We honor the big vision when we keep in mind, with every step, that we are movers and players in a cosmic drama far beyond our imagination. We honor the daily detail every time we ask, in a specific situation, What is the more loving, the more life-giving, the more Christ-like thing to do next?
So what are you going to do next?

Ride-On Tire Sealant Has Industrial Vehicles Covered
With Heavy Duty Off-Road and Tire Conditioner & Sealant, Ride-On reduces labor and mechanical costs.
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 4, 2013 06:12 PM
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ride-On is perhaps best known for its innovative Tire Protection System and LED Smart Caps. Ride-On's tire sealant prevents punctures and balances and aligns tires in automobiles, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and commercial vehicles, extending their gas mileage and the life of their tires. The LED Smart Caps are a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that alerts a driver to fuel-economy wrecking air pressure leaks in tires with recommended pressure ranges from 10 to 70 psi, or 30 to 170 psi in the Heavy Duty version. Now, the company famous for its Tire Protection Systems and TPMS is bringing new focus to its specialized formulas. Waste haulers, military grade off-road vehicles, construction, mining, farm, and agricultural equipment, and low-speed industrial machines are just a few of the many applications possible with Ride-On's amazing tire sealant gel.
Ride-On's Heavy Duty Off-Road (HDOTR) Formula brings the company's thorough tire protection system to off-road vehicles, specifically for those used by the military and construction companies and for use in landfills and quarries. The sealant protects any vehicle that travels less than 30 mph from punctures up to 1/2" in diameter and helps tires run cooler, preventing a tire from melding with a rim due to high temperatures. This extends the life of these tires, lowers labor costs due to fixing an over-heated tire, prevents flats, and slows leaks in scrappers, graders, skid steers, farm tractors, mining and logging vehicles, and more. Ride-On stands by the product's tagline: Extreme protection when downtime is not an option.
The Tire Conditioner & Sealant (TC&S) Formula works similarly on industrial and agricultural vehicles with speeds less than 30 mph. This is perfect for landscaping, agricultural, forklift, and other industrial tires, sealing punctures up to 1/4" in diameter. It reduces air loss due to tire porosity, reduces scale and corrosion build up, and conditions casings. Plus, unlike other sealants on the market, Ride-On's TC&S (as well as all of its Tire Protection Systems) won't separate at high temperatures or freeze at low ones. This formula is for less severe applications than the HDOTR, though it still reliably prevents tire damage that is bound to spring up during the job. Ride-On's motto for the TC&S speaks to its persistence: Stop flat tires before they stop you!
Ride-On has a TPS formula that's appropriate for every tire application. In some cases, Ride-On's Commercial High Speed (CHS) might be the best for your equipment, especially when speeds go above 30 mph. Feel free to call Ride-On at call 888-347-3366 with any questions about which formula is most appropriate for the task at hand. All of these formulas are easily installed; simply add the appropriate dosage based off of the tire's size. Charts are included with the product and can also be found in their most up to date versions online at www.ride-on.com. For the most precise dosage requirement, be sure to check out Ride-On's online dosage calculator.

VIDEO: Exclusive Home Tour
I'm not big into taking pictures but still have LOTS of printed photos from the 90s and early 2000. I use this photo box to store and organize all of my photos. The best
part about it are the clear mini containers for sorting photos into categories.

This is going to sound beyond bizarre but I LOVE to throw things away in the these trash cans. There's something about three uniform trash cans (trash, shred, recycle)
perfectly lined up next to each other that just makes me smile every time I sort and toss things inside! And when you label each bin with a color-coded label (recycle = green, trash = blue, shred = red) it makes it that much easier and faster to discard things
This is the fun ergonomic desk chair I use at my desk in my home office! It's fun to wobble on while you work while also "strengthening your back and core!"
It comes in three fun colors; orange, black, and blue. They also come in smaller kids version in every color of the rainbow
If you hate seeing messy piles of cords behind or underneath your furniture, this is what you NEED! It's a cord box that "hides" the messy cables! This is the cord box I
featured in my " How to Hide Wires Cords " video. It comes in black and white!
I have these things all over my house in every nook and cranny! They are adhesive and you can stick them anywhere to prevent a cord from falling down when
unplugged. They come in multiple colors.
Wires and cords that hang/dangle bother me like no other! These adhesive hooks hold cords against the wall in place. The best part about them are the various sizes
they come in and the adhesive on the back that is removable without damaging most surfaces (furniture, walls, etc).
You know those realllllly long cords that hang from the back of your computer, TV, and/or any other electronic in your house? Well, this cord wrap allows you to
"magically" shorten the cord as if it didn't really exist! It's hard to explain but it's AWESOME! I use this for my iPod charger on my desk.
This is one of those cool office gadgets that actually gets good use! It's a fuzzy finger you use to dust your computer screen and keyboard (I also use it to dust my desk).
It actually makes dusting fun! Who knew?!
within the bin or you can collapse them and have one big normal storage bin. They're definitely pricey for a storage bin but they're flexible in that they can be used for multiple purposes!
I use this hanging organizer originally made for clothes in my home office for storing paper, notepads, and extra file folders! It's literally the PERFECT size for paper
The Oxford English Dictionary

terrorism as " th e unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. " Trump's separation policy, supported for the worst reasons by his most openly prejudiced advisers including Stephen Miller, fits the bill precisely.
First, it is illegal. Kidnapping children from parents, particularly for profit, is a heinous crime. Abusing asylum seekers is an international human rights violation. Jailing children unnecessarily is yet another crime. All of them are unconstitutional violations of the bill of rights, and they are illegal by law under international treaties signed and approved by Congress.
Second, it is on its face an act of violence. Wailing children were in many cases literally torn from the arms of weeping and fiercely objecting mothers and fathers. In other cases literally reminiscent of Nazi concentration camps, they were taken by deception, the parents told that their children were being simply taken to bathe–not knowing that it might be the last time they would ever touch their loved ones.
Third and perhaps most importantly, it is an act of intentional intimidation. The entire purpose of this policy, as Chief of Staff John Kelly stated to Wolf Blitzer, as Jeff Sessions admitted on Fox News and as internal White House documents show , is to deter further immigrants and asylum seekers by making them fear that their children will be taken from them if they try. As doing so is explicitly illegal, the Trump Administration has attempted to deny that deterrence is their actual goal. But the purpose is not only public record , it is obvious on its face. There is no credible immigration policy reason for this cruel barbarism beyond painting a picture of an America so brutally unwelcoming that people will prefer to take their chances being raped and murdered in gang violence than attempt to cross to the nation that still absurdly celebrates its outdated statue of liberty.
Fourth, this evil is being committed by the world's wealthiest and most powerful nation against its weakest civilians, people who have uprooted themselves and their families to make an incredibly dangerous crossing through hostile territory because death and starvation were the only alternatives. Even if the resources of the United States were stretched thin, it would be incumbent on us as a decent people to maximally ensure the safety of these poor souls even if we could not provide them shelter.

If you are cooking for yourself or family it may be easy to choose a sustainable fish that is wild caught, but in a restaurant you may have no clue. Fish2fork.com, a new website, is a restaurant rating system that rates a restaurant on its performance of serving sustainable fish and the quality of food. The website is run by Charles Clover, environment editor of The Daily Telegraph and creator of The End of the Line, a documentary about industrial fishing based on his book with the same title.
For the past decade our oceans have been under constant attack and are now suffering from overfishing, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, endangered sea mammals and pollution. Overfishing is just one part of larger problem that needs to be fixed, but this is at the core of Fish2Fork's mission. What makes the problems with our oceans so scary, is that the problem for humans is out of sight, which usually means out of mind. It's kind of like a smoker. If a smoker could see the damage they were doing to their lungs everyday with each puff of a cigarette, they may not be so inclined to smoke. If we could see the damage we were doing daily to our oceans, perhaps we would be making different choices.
Today, most restaurants give little or no information on where their fish comes from, which plays a large part in disconnecting a diner from their food. What if you knew before you went to a restaurant or ordered your sushi, sashimi, or fillet that what you were about to eat was the last of an existing species? Fish2Fork is hoping that consumers with a little bit of knowledge about the food they are about to eat, or the restaurant they choose, will make better choices and help protect our oceans and sea life.
When rating restaurants, Fish2Fork has a number of criteria by which they score restaurants. They review a restaurant's menu too see if any of the seafood they serve is listed on the endangered species list and/or the "fish to avoid" list. They also rate restaurants on whether they provide full information about the fish or shellfish they serve e.g. it is farmed, wild, line caught etc.. Customers can also complete a questionnaire where they can "rat on a restaurant," or praise a restaurant they like.
If you want to eat only sustainable seafood, check out Fish2Fork's website. They have a growing database of restaurants that you can search before you leave home.

Oil Buyers Guide + Video
As well as looking at viscosity, you'll also need to know about the different types of oil that are available
Oil Buyer's Guide
Oil is the lifeblood of your car, but are you making sure that your car has enough of the right stuff?
If you've got the right type of engine oil and the correct amount, you stand a better chance of avoiding expensive motor repairs. But there are so many different types of oil to choose from and we're here to help.
Engine oil viscosity
Different oils have a different thickness and this is also known as 'viscosity'.
For example, a viscosity rating on a bottle of oil might be written as 5w30. The '5w' refers to the thickness of the oil while the engine is cold - the lower the number the better.
The '30' refers to the thickness of the oil at operating temperature. The lower the number, the more efficiently your car will run.
Other types of oil
As well as looking at viscosity, you'll also need to know about the different types of oil that are available:
- mineral oil - basic protection for older cars.
- part synthetic oil - a good in-between oil.
- fully synthetic oil - the ultimate in engine protection.
What type of oil does my car need?
Halfords have made choosing the right type of oil easy for you. Just use our oil look up service, type in your registration number and choose from the type of oils available for your car.
Don't forget that you can always pop into your local Halfords store and ask one of our team. And while you're there, don't forget that you can take advantage of our oil check and top-up service and our free 5-point car health check.View All Oil
