For a small scratch on wood, use a wood marker or wood fill stick to hide the scratch, fill it with wax, then refinish the area with lacquer. For deeper scratches that cut into the wood, sand first, and then apply lacquer. To repair a number of deep scratches, the finish may have to be stripped and the furniture re-lacquered. Small scratches on floors are repairable with colored lacquer pencils.
Tiny scratches in lacquered furniture can be filled with liquid wax and then buffed. Alternatively, apply lacquer thinner with an artist's brush. The thinner causes the lacquer to soften and fill the crack, which can then be waxed and buffed. The scratch can be hidden with marker and lacquer only if it is not cut too deeply into the wood. Otherwise, use sandpaper with 220-grit to smooth the scratch, spray on lacquer, sand again and then add a second coat of lacquer.
Stripping off the old lacquer finish is a major job that needs to be done outside with a respirator. Mix lacquer thinner and denatured alcohol in equal parts, and use a paintbrush to spread the mixture on a small section of lacquer. Use steel wool and a scraper to remove the lacquer. Go over the piece of furniture slowly, section by section. Afterwards, sand it over with fine sandpaper. Since the wood is clean, reapply any color of lacquer you choose.

The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread, by Don Robertson
Just as Morris Bird III wouldn't take too long to voice his thoughts, neither (for once) will I.
Sometimes it takes a kid to tell us what we already know, but are all too often sure to forget or to ignore. Be brave. Be courageous. Make mistakes. Make big old, crazy, why-the-hell-not mistakes, because they might not be mistakes after all.
And life sure wouldn't be much of a Big Adventure if we didn't take that rebellious step once in a while.

Hello! Today I'm showing you a new LE collection from Catrice. This is the feMALE collection. The collection is focusing on the male dandy look versus feminine elegance.
This first one is A Woman's World. The pictures are far from accurate, but it's a nice coral orange polish. This one is close to Catrice's I Scream Peach!, but a little lighter in color.
Next we have Nude. A brown beige polish. This one was opaque in just 1 coat! I like the shiny version much better than it's own finish. The matte finish makes the polish look a bit dull...
My favorite from the 4; Who Are Blue. A lovely blurple polish. I think that's my first blurple polish. I like both the matte finish and the shiny topcoat finish. This one is similar to the Essence Colour & Go Absolutely Blue, but that one has a shiny finish. 1 coat is okay, but 2 coats is better.
Last but not least we have So Suit! A smokey grey polish. It looks lighter in the bottle than on the nails. Compared to the other 3 this one dries more shiny matte. I don't really like this one, but that's just the season; I'll probably love this one in the Winter.
All the pictures with the original finish were taking approximately 2 minutes after I applied a polish. The shiny version were taken probably right after I applied the topcoat.
I like the collection, but it's not that special. My favorite is Who Are Blue? I don't think Catrice ever had one like it in their standard collection, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Which one is your favorite? :)
Thanks for reading!
xoxo Ingie

LENGTHY days are the norm in family life, whether partners work in the home or elsewhere. The end of some days, with pressures ambulating, is a consuming fire, a single moment boils over, a harsh tone is uttered, and then… emotional distance clogs the air.
Such is the case in most families' lives on occasion.
But redemption is the opportunity for reconciliation to rise in modes of surrender.
When a partner recognises the cause of the dilemma — that it's tiredness, nothing more — then humility has its shot. Courage to fold. Honesty to concede. Love then extends.
You're washing the dishes, and something small is done, something so subtle, but which doesn't elude your attention — a few dirty dishes are moved to within reach, and a bench is wiped clean. No words. Just, I notice that!
Sure, these are the things that might normally happen as partners simply assist one another, but tonight it's different. A small though concerted-and-very-significant effort has been made to reach toward the other, and the beauty in that moment has been noticed and received. A heart softens in response.
A small, subtle gift is pivotal when a partner is ready to receive it, and maybe the magic in relationships is being attuned to one another enough to notice.
What followed was a hug; a tired, resigned hug where we fell into each other's arms in the resolute mood of defeat. But in unity. Compromise, the beauty of subtlety in mutual submission.
Anger has enough of any marriage's moments. How sweet the surrender of conceding to the fact of exhaustion. How good to notice a partner's efforts however small. There is bliss in marital communication that has effect beyond words, which recognises and redounds in groans.

In Time Out's list of best ramen restaurants, only two states get multiple shout-outs (New York has two restaurants on the list, and California has four). But it's Texas' lone star ramen place right here in the 512 - Ramen Tatsu-ya - that has been named America's No. 1 ramen restaurant.
Two ex-DJs opened Ramen Tatsu-ya in September 2012, and the restaurant immediately began drawing long lines. Its local fan base pushed the restaurant to extend its hours and add veggie options all day in February. Since the restaurant started serving food in 2012, the founders opened another location.
Time Out cites Ramen Tatsu-ya's thick, creamy broth as its main ticket to success:
"Former DJs Tatsu Aikawa and Takuya Matsumoto craft a tonkotsu that requires three days' worth of cook time, resulting in a luscious pork bone elixir that clings to each angel-hair-thin noodle (like many of the nation's top ramen joints, the custom strands come from revered producer Sun Noodle). Meltingly tender chashu (thin-sliced pork), snappy woodear mushrooms and a marinated egg finish each carefully composed bowl."
When Ramen Tatsu-Ya first opened, Austin food and restaurant critic Matthew Odam gave it a glowing review. The specialty thick tonkotsu automatically comes paired with thinner noodles, balancing the bowl's ingredients.
The restaurant's menu lists some rules, including "Chopsticks only," "Slurp loudly and shamelessly," and most importantly, "Never share your ramen."

So here's how the year ends. Russia hacks into American computer systems. This is espionage. The US responds by expelling a bunch of Russian diplomats. Russia announces it will not respond in kind. America's next President then praises the Russian leader (mastermind of the espionage) as a smart guy.
This is not the reaction of a patriotic President. It can only be the response of a fool or a traitor (or possibly both). So which is it? A halfwit in the White House or a Russian agent? I think the American people should be asking themselves this question very seriously.
Happy New Year!

Sittwe, Arakan State ׀ rvisiontv.com
An outbreak of arbitrary shooting by Myanmar Security Force killed a Rohingya man and critically injured two more at Thandawli IDP Camps in Sittwe yesterday, whereas at least 15 innocent Rohingyas were also said to have arrested according to a local source.
The situation is still tense and many people are said to have hiding and running to and fro in order to escape the arrests.
"Three vans loaded with approximately 100 *Security Force arrived at the camps of the internally displaced Rohingyas of *Thandawli village at Mansi Junction (nearby *Raba Gwin) in *Sittwe Township around 10:00PM yesterday (August 6). They started raiding the IDP camps, harassing and torturing people sleeping at night time for no reason. Having arbitrarily accused some people at the camps of thefts in the downtown of Sittwe, they demanded them be handed over.
Since no one has committed any theft, the Rohingya people at the camp could not simply fulfill the arbitrary demand by the security force. Then, they started beating more people and arresting them afterwards. Therefore, many people gathered at the camps to see what was happening. Seeing the crowd, the security force inconsiderably and irresponsibly started shooting at the crowd.
At least 15 people including two women were arrested for nothing and taken away by their vans. Many people got injured including small children. Of them, two are critical. They are:
1) Bullya (brother of) Abulu (son of) U Abdu Kadir hail from Thandawli
2) Abdul Malik (son of) U Sayed hail from Thandawli
One person was killed. He is 'Shomsul Alam (son of) Makbul Ali (of age 29) hail from Thandawli.
The Security Force has taken away not only the dead body of the killed man but also the two critically injured people with them. We feel that the Security Force will kill these people on the way as well in order to destroy the evidences" said an anxious displaced Rohingya in the camp.
"They are unnecessarily picking up fights with the helpless Rohingyas and trying to instigate violence. We don't feel that this government even has intention to end the violence against us let alone practically ending it. They will stop the violence only when the international government bodies take stern actions against them" added the worried man.

Windows Inspire Community
Posted: 9/1/2010
[Georgia] Thanks to the generosity of parishioners, Holy Family mission in Metter, Ga., has two new stained-glass windows.
A donation was initially made to create one window above the altar. But after planning began, mission members soon realized the donation was enough to pay for two windows.
The window above the sanctuary features symbols of the Eucharist, and the other window, placed above the front door, has an image of a dove, representing the Holy Spirit.
"They are beautiful, inspirational additions to our church," says Sister Mary Bordelon, CDP, pastoral coordinator of Holy Family. The remaining church windows are clear glass.

Change of EMC Directive (Urgent - Dangerous)
- Details
- Category: EUROCOM
- Published: Friday, 16 December 2011 09:06
- Written by Thilo, DL9KCE
- Hits: 5918
As part of the NEW LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK (NLF) ALIGNMENT PACKAGE the European Commission is reworking some directives. One of the affected directives is the EMC directive including some major changes. Most of them are neutral or even good from an amateur radio operators perspective. However there is one slight change pickaback carried, which very much affects us.
In detail:
The definition of the term 'electromagnetic disturbance' will include the wanted signal of a radio as a possible source. This is not in line with the radio regulation of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and not in line with the vocabulary of the International Electrotechnical Committee (IEC).
IARU Region 1 will respond to it with a letter soon.
However we strongly suggest, that you contact your local MEPs and tell them about this change in the EMCD, that is neither in line with the reasoning of the New Legislative Framework, nor does it help to improve protection of radio services or equipment.

Prediction: BAL 20, NE 24
Update: Ray Rice was held out of practice on Wednesday and was still limited on Thursday but he's just resting up and will play with no limitation.
This is an interesting one since the 4-1 Ravens have yet to allow more than 17 points in any game while the Patriots have scored less than 38 points only once. This could be a coin toss with the Ravens stingy defense but the Pats should manage to eke this one out at home even without Randy Moss. The Pats want some revenge for getting kicked out of the playoffs last year in front of their own hometown fans.
The Ravens lost 21-27 in New England last year. The Ravens later won 33-14 in the playoffs on the road again.
QUARTERBACK: Joe Flacco chugs along but comes off his worst game of the year statistically when he only passed for 196 yards and no scores against the Broncos. That was a function of the rushing attack finally coming to life and removing the need to throw.
Flacco passed for 264 yards and two scores in the first meeting with the Pats last year and later only had four completions while the Ravens ran wild on the Patriots in the playoffs.
The Pats have been soft against the pass this year and every opponent has thrown for multiple touchdowns and very healthy yardage. The run won't work this week nearly as well and the Pats could drive up the score with a spirited fight after last January. That should spell a bigger than usual game for Flacco.
RUNNING BACKS: It may have taken five games, but Ray Rice finally turned in a big game when he rushed for 133 yards on 27 carries and scored two touchdowns on the Broncos. He also added 26 yards on four catches. There was enough left over for Willis McGahee to add a season high 67 yards on ten runs with one score as well. But Rice had been stuck with around 100 total yards and no scores in his first four games.
Rice gained 103 yards on 11 carries and had five catches for 49 yards in the first meeting with the Pats, He ran for 159 yards on 22 carries and scored twice in the second meeting. Willis McGahee also scored in that game with 62 yards on 20 carries and Le'Ron McClain added a fourth touchdown.
The Patriots have been very good against running backs this year and no one has turned in more than 79 rushing yards on them. That's mostly because the Pats have been rolling up the score and opponents have yet to produce a runner with more than 15 carries. Look for that normal day from Rice that is good but still leaves you wanting more.
WIDE RECEIVERS: No changes here other than the horrible showing by Anquan Boldin who only had one catch for eight yards last week thanks to Champ Bailey and a game that was handily won via the rushing attack. This week the wideouts face one of the weakest secondaries if only because the Pats are making opponents abandon the run. Every opponent of the Pats have produced at least one touchdown to a wide receiver and that has always been the teams #2 guy. That now has to be Derrick Mason on this team but the Patriots have not played that many good wideouts either. In week one, Ochocinco had 159 yards and a score on this defense. There will be healthy passing yards and that should benefit both the wideouts here. It may even end up giving T.J. Houshmandzadeh a decent game though that is a far bigger risk.
Mason caught seven passes for 88 yards and a score in the first meeting with the Patriots last year. No other receiver did anything in either game.
TIGHT ENDS: Todd Heap has not been a huge factor in the passing game but is consistent with around 30 or 40 yards in most games. He has yet to score and has a an excellent chance this week for at least good yards if not that score. The Pats have been soft on the position when the opponent has a decent option.
Heap ended with 46 yards on four receptions versus the Pats last year.
Pregame Notes: The Patriots are now relying on Deion Branch and Brandon Tate instead of Randy Moss and there is no proof that the locker room fight ever happened between Moss and Tom Brady. The one that Brady supposedly told Moss to shave his beard (who offers grooming tips during a fight?) and Moss countered by referring to Brady's long flowing locks as "girl hair" (though in fairness...). The Pats are emphasizing "THE TEAM" again according to HC Bill Belichick which is his way of saying the only individual that matters is him.
QUARTERBACK: Goldilocks Tom Brady has been consistent this year and the loss of Moss should be compensated for between Branch, Brandon Tate and Aaron Hernandez. Brady has thrown for right at 250 yards and three scores in both of the previous home games this year.
Brady passed for 258 yards and a score in the first meeting with the Ravens and later ended with 154 yards and two scores.
The Ravens have been outstanding against the pass but faced mostly weaker passing teams. Last week, the Broncos threw for 314 yards and two scores in Baltimore so look for at least a decent game here by Brady. There will be some minor success running the ball but mostly Brady will have to win this game.
RUNNING BACKS: Fred Taylor may return to practice this week after missing two games with a turf toe injury. In his place BenJarvus Green-Ellis has scored in each of the last two games with moderate yardage and the little ex-Jet Danny Woodhead has even posted a touchdown in both those games as well. Kevin Faulk remains out but Sammy Morris still has a minor role. Once Taylor returns, it will make this backfield completely unpredictable but Green-Ellis should see the bulk of work for at least this week.
No New England runner had more than 52 yards versus the Ravens last season.
The Ravens have been mostly good against the run though Rashard Mendenhall posted two scores on them and Peyton Hillis had 144 yards the previous week. That makes Green-Ellis a marginal play this week but with some upside.
WIDE RECEIVERS: Big changes here. Randy Moss is gone and the Pats acquired Deion Branch from the Seahawks for a 2011 fourth-round pick. The Pats felt good enough about Aaron Hernandez and Brandon Tate to make the trade with the Vikings to dump Moss for only a third round pick. Branch is as much depth as anything. How this may affect Wes Welker remains to be seen because now the secondary will be considering him as the main guy to cover. Welker has been perhaps the most dangerous slot receiver of all time but that was working in the shadow of Randy Moss. Now Welker becomes the #1 and it isn't like he could possibly be thrown any more passes. What changes come to Welker is the question to start answering this weekend.
Randy Moss had around 50 yards in both meeting with the Ravens in 2009 and scored in the first one. Welker was limited to 48 yards in the first game and missed the playoffs matchup. Julian Edelman caught six passes for 44 yards and two scores in relief for him.
It is hard to project for Branch since he just got on the team. He'll no doubt play some this week but should pick it all up in short order having played there before in the past.
The Ravens have only allowed one wideout to score against them but that was Brandon Lloyd who last week had 135 yards and two scores. Otherwise most opponents were held in check and - again - the Ravens faced no decent passing attacks prior to the Broncos last week. The loss of Moss makes predicting this unit even more difficult but the newness of this group could actually work out in their favor.
TIGHT ENDS: Aaron Hernandez has become a trusted outlet for Tom Brady and while he has yet to score this year, he's been good for around five or six catches per week. I am crediting him with a score but it could end up with Rob Gronkowski just as easily as it has twice already this year.

Ask a Tradesman
Insulation Question
How to insulate under floorboards?
I live in a semi-detached 2-bed Victorian terraced house and I want to take off the carpet in the ground floor living room and sand the original floor. However, I understand I need to insulate underneath the floor and ensure that air is free to circulate from outside to prevent damp build up/ draughts. Can you tell me how to go about this, what materials I will need to buy and whether it is best to get the work done by an insulation tradesman or a flooring specialist.
My main concern is that without adding insulation underneath the floorboards, the room will become draughty and much colder caused by the void underneath/airblocks in external walls.
1 Answer
Best Answer
Hi, If you lift the boards you will damage them, unless they are in very good
condition and you are extremely carefull. As far as I know there are no regulations that say you have to insulate below an existing floor, this is personal preference.
I have lifted several wooden floors before and nearly always come accross
other problems below, which would be the best time to right it, but can
obviously cause extra expense.
If you are concerned mainly of draught's, then you perhap's
should lift the boards and insulate, this would prevent
draught's aswell as insulate.
you will need to fix a batten the required thickness of
insulation down from the top of the battens, I would suggest 75mm kingspan, then cut sheets to required size
in between joists, and push in between joists onto the
battens, leaving the insulation level with top of the joists,
gun in any gap's with expanding foam, then fit the board's
back on top.
As for the air circulation, you will need airbricks on both
sides for a cross flow ventilation, this would normally be at
2m centres.
I wish you all the best of luck with it.
Kind regards

Beyond the Looking Glass: Bird-Friendly Windows
Follow along with the slideshow here.
Glass windows are the second greatest human-related cause of mortality to North American birds, accounting for nearly 1 billion deaths annually. In an effort to make the skies safer for our feathered friends, researchers are looking for ways to reduce collisions by making glass more visible to birds.
Matt Web, the Urban Bird Conservation Coordinator for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, will present his talk: Beyond the Looking Glass: Bird-Friendly Windows on Monday, May 1. Web will discuss developing research as to why certain types of glass are more prone to avian collisions, as well as how companies are making bird-friendly glass available.
Webb is involved in research at Powdermill Nature Reserve, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's field research station located in the Ligonier valley. He and fellow Powdermill avian researchers are using an innovative flight tunnel to safely test bird-friendly glass prototypes to use on new buildings.
Webb also started BirdSafe Pittsburgh in 2014, a local partnership of organizations dedicated to bird conservation in southwestern Pennsylvania. Teams of BirdSafe Pittsburgh volunteers spend the early hours of each day through the spring and fall migration combing the sidewalks of Pittsburgh, looking for birds that have collided with windows. Data is collected about each collision found and dead birds are brought back to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History to become a part of the permanent museum collection. Birds that survived a collision are captured and brought to Animal Rescue League's wildlife center for rehabilitation and release. Citizen scientists also monitor the windows of personal homes, helping researchers learn more about what makes some bird-friendly window products more effective than others.
Webb has studied birds with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History for the past four years. He holds a bachelor's degree in Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University, in Fort Collins, Colorado.

The global coal renaissance is the most important climate story today – 'If current trends continue, ambitious mitigation targets likely will become infeasible'Posted by Jim at Monday, July 13, 2015
By Brad Plumer
7 July 2015
(Vox) – If you only focused on the United States, you might think coal's days were numbered.
The dirtiest of all fossil fuels once provided more than half of America's electricity. That has since dropped to 39 percent, thanks to competition from cheap natural gas, a tireless campaign by the Sierra Club to shutter old coal plants, and strict new air pollution regulations. Add in the Obama administration's upcoming crackdown on carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants, and US coal will keep waning in the future.
But that's not true globally. Far from it. According to data from BP's Statistical Review of Energy, coal consumption has actually been accelerating worldwide since the end of the 1990s.
It's tempting to think this global coal boom is mainly a one-time blip due to China, where coal use has surged since 2000 amid frenetic economic growth but has since leveled off as the country tries to transition away from heavy industry. But as it turns out, that's not true either.
According to an important study in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, we're in the midst of a global "renaissance of coal" that's not confined to just a few countries like China or India. Rather, coal is becoming the energy source of choice for a vast array of poorer and fast-growing countries around the world, particularly in Southeast Asia. "This renaissance of coal," the authors write, "has even accelerated in the last decade."
Why is coal so widely popular? The authors of the PNAS study — Jan Christoph Steckel, Ottmar Edenhofer, and Michael Jakob — argue that coal is often the cheapest energy option in many parts of the world, relative to other sources like oil, gas, nuclear, or renewables.
What's interesting is that countries no longer need their own domestic mines to take advantage of coal power. International coal markets have become so robust, with exports surging in mining countries like Australia and Indonesia, that it's become much easier for a wide variety of countries to build coal-fired power plants. (Notably, the authors say, the price of coal itself, rather than the capital costs of building power plants, seems to be the important economic driver here.) [more]
The global coal renaissance is the most important climate story today
ABSTRACT: Coal was central to the industrial revolution, but in the 20th century it increasingly was superseded by oil and gas. However, in recent years coal again has become the predominant source of global carbon emissions. We show that this trend of rapidly increasing coal-based emissions is not restricted to a few individual countries such as China. Rather, we are witnessing a global renaissance of coal majorly driven by poor, fast-growing countries that increasingly rely on coal to satisfy their growing energy demand. The low price of coal relative to gas and oil has played an important role in accelerating coal consumption since the end of the 1990s. In this article, we show that in the increasingly integrated global coal market the availability of a domestic coal resource does not have a statistically significant impact on the use of coal and related emissions. These findings have important implications for climate change mitigation: If future economic growth of poor countries is fueled mainly by coal, ambitious mitigation targets very likely will become infeasible. Building new coal power plant capacities will lead to lock-in effects for the next few decades. If that lock-in is to be avoided, international climate policy must find ways to offer viable alternatives to coal for developing countries.

There is a possibility to run terminal commands inside Vim. Just type:
:! command [Hit Enter]
Also you can invoke a shell inside Vim:
:! bash [Hit Enter]
Also Vim has third party addons (vim-shell) that allow to use shell in more natural manner. But I would not recommend you to use Vim this way. There is much better way to achieve the same things - just use screen. It allows you to split your terminal vertically by pressing Ctrl-A S. Then you can use Ctrl-A Tab or Ctrl-A Ctrl-I to switch between them.

How to best end a comedy sketch? It's hard to go wrong with gruesome death – Just two guys complaining about their wives, who are in another room, out of earshot.
One swears he said to his wife — who told him to be in the car by 6:45 when she didn't even get out of the shower until 20 minutes after that — "I looked this woman in the eye, I said .?.?."
His voice drops to a whisper as he says a word he never really called her, because no man in his right mind call his wife a — well, you know.
The guys relocate to the basement, as the other friend relates a my-wife-is-infuriating story that ends with: "I looked my woman in the EYE SOCKETS. I told my woman straight out. I said it! I said — "
But the wives interrupt, so the men seek even more secluded locales: First a tree in the yard, then a field in the middle of nowhere. Finally, ridiculously, they're in a rocket ship, and Peele's character ejects himself into space. His voice echoes out into the ether — "I said biiiii .?.?." — as he floats away to his certain death in the abyss.
"You'll notice in 'Key & Peele,' one of the outs that continuously comes up is somebody either sacrificing their life or getting killed," Jordan Peele said by phone, reflecting on the five seasons — that's 298 sketches — he and co-creator Keegan-Michael Key wrote, produced and performed. (All of which are now available to watch for free on Comedy Central's website.)

BMC Timemachine 01 (SRAM Red eTap) - 2017
The fastest bike on Earth finds a new 'F'ocus: Form, Function, Fit.
The all-new Timemachine is tailor-made for triathletes. The culmination of four years of studying the needs of multi-sport athletes, a three-year aerodynamics partnership with Sauber Engineering and two years of final product development, the Timemachine is the new benchmark for triathlon-specific equipment. With continued legendary SubA aerodynamics performance, the Timemachine's recipe for success is clear – superior tube shaping, maximum component integration, and an extensive rider positioning system. For middle and long-distance triathlons or time trials, the new Timemachine is the must-have bike for races against the clock.
Ultimate versatility: The V-Cockpit (spec on all complete bikes and frameset optional) offers optimal aerodynamic performance for taller pad stack dimensions, while the forward-offset promotes vertical compliance – a state-of-the-art blend of high-performance and comfort.
Fully integrated 3rd generation hinge-fork ensures a lean frontal profile, seamlessly integrated brake calipers and a revolutionary, new cockpit mounting system that promotes both form and function.
A rear-mount equipment storage box, top tube fuel box mounts, and down tube dual-mount bottle cage options add up to a dedicated triathlon weapon.
The Flat-Cockpit (optional on frameset, not included with complete bike) offers the maximum aerodynamic advantage, letting riders attain the lowest possible pad stack configurations.
Hidden Brake Booster Technology increases the brake-lever-pull to caliper-free-stroke ratio ensuring the brake pads provide sufficient clearance at times of wheel flex. The system allows for the complete disconnection of the cockpit (when paired with electronic shifting options) for travel purposes.
Equipped with the patented Quick-Pad cartridge system, the revised caliper design improves overall brake function and aerodynamic performance. Perfect placement of the rear wheel thanks to hollow, full-carbon adjustable dropouts.

Saturday: New Moon Phase – Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius
Sunday: Crescent Moon Phase – Moon in Aquarius
On Friday we had the bluebird of happiness at our front door and this weekend Cupid is knocking. The energy asks us to open our hearts and go beyond barriers that may in place around it. The Sun and the asteroid Cupido were conjunct at the New Moon, so Cupid's Arrow of Love combined with Sagittarius' Archer and his Arrow for Aiming Home makes for a wonderful combination. It's the perfect confluence to fall back in love with life. Along that line, today's energy also asks us to let our inner child out to play. The energy is a playful, loving, happy time that is even a bit mischievious. A little bit of the Prankster is present while Venus leaves the sign of Scorpio. All of this happy energy is at odds with Saturn and Pluto in sextile, which is bringing a push-pull of control and power issues. There are lingering parts that are trying to control things. The interesting thing now is that this does not have to hold any power over us. If it doesn't meet our standards of falling back in love with life, we brush it aside indifferently because it holds no significance. We are taking up arms as spiritual warriors and practicing lifting our bow and shooting our arrow at anything that stands opposed to the fullest expression of who we are individually and as a collective. So we need to practice this visualization by pummeling feelings and mindsets that creep in to pull us off track by shooting them with our arrows. Remember, right now our feet are planted firmly on the ground and our minds are aiming home. Ground down and aim home. Monday will be especially interesting with the Sun moving into conjunction with the Galactic Center so stay tuned.

Create counselling sessions for players – Evang. Tetteh
Dr. Lawrence Tetteh, an International Evangelist and football enthusiast, on Tuesday, called on sports administrators to create proper counselling sessions for the nation's gallant sportsmen, who represent the country worldwide.
Dr. Tetteh who was reacting to a disparaging comment made by Razak Brimah, the country's goalkeeper at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon, noted that most of the sportsmen did not realise that they were able ambassadors of Ghana.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview in Accra, he said most of these unfortunate attitudes and utterances about our sportsmen show and tell how uninformed they were about their role in the society as role models and representatives of the nation.
"It is very important for us to impress on them to know the value and roles they play to represent us. They also serve as vessels to promote national cohesion and nation building."
Dr. Tetteh said he and others were advocating that Ghanaians should forgive the Black Stars for the unfortunate incidence that happened during the last World Cup in Brazil, where players refused to play because of allowances and other issues that led to the indefinite suspension of some of the brilliant players.
He said he was expecting the current African Nations to be used as a platform to reconcile Ghanaians towards the national team, therefore the outburst of Brimah was unfortunate and misguided.
Dr. Tetteh also asked Ghanaians to forgive the goal keeper, who had retracted and apologised for his unguarded statement, which he said was very laudable and a sign of repentance.
He, however, commended the Captain of the national team- Asamoah Gyan and his deputy- Andre Ayew for keeping the team spirit together as they get ready for the semi-finals.
Dr. Tetteh urged them to bring the cup home and assured them of the prayers of Ghanaians towards their victory.
Brimah launched an attack on his critics about his performance at the tournament, questioning their right to question his competence, when he had helped the Black Stars to advance to the semi-finals of the game.-GNA

The best way you can help combat the spread of invasive insects, weeds and plant diseases is by not sending back-yard grown fruit or vegetables through the mail. The fruits or vegetables may look good on the outside, but damaging insects can lay their eggs inside fruit and vegetables and then hitchhike into California.
Together, we can protect California!
The State of California has a pest detection program looking for new introductions of damaging pests. If the California Department of Agriculture asks to place an insect trap in your yard, please help out California and say "Yes!"

Series: Blood for Blood #1
Author: Catherine Doyle
Release Date: February 24, 2015
Publisher: Chicken House Ltd
Think Romeo and Juliet meets The Godfather. Oh yeah. #bloodforblood #Vendetta
Blood Will Spill, Hearts Will Break: With a fierce rivalry raging between two warring families, falling in love is the deadliest thing Sophie could do. An epic debut set outside modern-day Chicago.
For Sophie, it starts as just another slow, hot summer in Cedar Hill. Then a new family moves into the long-abandoned mansion across the street: the Falcone family, with its five mysterious brothers. Unable to resist bad boy Nicoli, Sophie finds herself falling for him--and into his world. But just as the dark secrets of the Falcones begin to come to light, the skeletons of her own family, the Gracewells, rise to the surface, too. And soon Sophie is torn between the desires of two warring dynasties: the one she was born into and the one she's now in love with. But she'll have to choose between passion and honor. And when she does, blood will spill and hearts will break. Because in this twisted underworld, loyalty can mean the difference between life and death.
"Fan-freaking-tastic…I honestly can't say enough good things about it! I would read anything Cat Doyle writes after flying through Vendetta!!" -Victoria Scott
How did this book idea come to you?I first had the idea for Vendetta when I was falling asleep one night (very convenient, I know!) I was drifting off when an image popped into my head. It was of five boys, doused in shadow, standing side-by-side in front of an old crumbling mansion. I was looking at them through the eyes of someone else – a girl, I realized, and she was wondering who they were and where they came from. I've always wanted to write a story that married my love of mafia movies like the Godfather and Goodfellas with my love of all things Disney and romance, and I knew these were the characters for the job. I got up straight away (even though it was like 2am) and started writing Vendetta that night.What was the first thing your characters said to you when you started writing Vendetta?I think Sophie's first words were some variation on "I'm so bored." And she was. I could see her so clearly, drumming her fingernails on the diner counter-top and staring off into the distance. Straightaway, I felt like I knew her completely. She was living this stagnant life in a town where almost everyone looked down on her. She was crying out for adventure or love, or both, anything to shake up the monotony of her routine. Millie didn't say much; she was just this bright, twirling star in the periphery of Sophie's vision. She was there to be a good friend, a so-so influence, and a source of happiness for Sophie. Their friendship was the most important thing to her. With Nic, I knew he was excited. He was itching to get to work and do what he came to do. He wasn't focused on romance or girls when I first started writing him. Instead he was saying "I'm ready." He was looking at the bigger picture, at his family's legacy. And Luca? He was just plain frustrated. He was frustrated about who he had to be and what he had to do. Frustrated that he was now stuck in a one-horse town and angry at all the things he couldn't change. I guess he was saying, "Get me the hell out of here now." And I was saying "Nope." ;)I know you wrote the story based in Chicago because that's where your mom grew up. Why did you feel that was a significant thing to do?For the kind of story I wanted to write – one based in the criminal underworld – I knew it would have to be somewhere authentic, and if possible, somewhere that already had a history with the criminal underworld. My mother used to take me back to visit Chicago when I was growing up. I've always had a great fondness for the city, and being an enthusiast of crime movies and documentaries, I knew a bit about its history with organized crime too. The Chicago Outfit is a syndicate that dates back to the 1910s and began a period of crime marked by illegal distribution of banned substances as well as gang wars and family rivalries. The city was also famously home to Al Capone, one of the most notorious American mafia figures in history. Between the pre-existing historical connection and my own personal connection, it just seemed like a good fit.There are five Falcone brothers, can you give a 1 word description for each of them? And which one would you like to date?Ooooh, excellent question! So tough!Nic: PassionateLuca: MisunderstoodValentino: ShrewdDom: FlirtatiousGino: UnusualI'd probably date Luca.Is there any particular song that stands out when you think of the book?
Yes! Take Me to Church by Hozier. It's haunting, romantic, atmospheric and just plain brilliant.

Next year, Kate Middleton and Prince William will embark on a rather lengthy royal tour of Australia, and yes, Prince George will be accompanying them. But his nanny, on the other hand, will not.
According to reports, the Duke and Duchess (most likely the Duchess) only want close friends and family members being involved with raising their son, so they're hoping to take Kate's mom, Carole, along for the trip, as opposed to Prince George's part-time nanny, Jessie Webb. A source close to the couple said: "They don't want just anyone helping out in Australia and think Carole would be perfect."
Of course she would be perfect! She's the little prince's granny. What's better than that?
Even though Kate Middleton's job isn't quite like the rest of us working moms', fact is she still has to leave her little one for long stretches of time. And that's hard no matter who you are or what you're doing. From the sounds of things, her and William's Australian royal tour is going to be quite busy, and while I'm sure Jessie Webb is very capable (she was William's nanny after all), what mother wouldn't feel more comfortable leaving their child with their mom, someone who loves their child almost as much as they do, as opposed to a non-relative?
Makes complete sense for Kate to want to bring Carole along for the trip, and I'm sure Carole will be absolutely thrilled to go. A free trip to Australia and unlimited time with her grandson? Everybody wins there.
Who do you think Kate should bring with her to Australia to watch George?

Africans used the Rhodesian Ridgeback dog to hunt lions not only because they grow to a similar size, but also because their nails were equally tough. To trim nails on such a dog today, rather than using pliers, grind them down with a power tool such as a Dremel.
Lift your dog onto a table with the help of a friend. Your friend needs to gently hold and soothe the animal, but he shouldn't try to restrain the dog unless it is absolutely necessary. The last thing you need is to be cutting the nails of a nervous 27-inch-high, 85-pound dog.
Put a few biscuits in a pile next to your dog and hold the Dremel close to his face. He will be momentarily interested in the power tool before turning to gobble up the biscuits. Once he has finished, put another few biscuits on the table and turn on the Dremel. This time his attention should be torn between eating biscuits and keeping a close eye on the tool. Repeat until he is more interested in the biscuit than the buzz of the Dremel.
Lift one of your dog's back paws gently and only as far as is needed.
Turn on the Dremel and begin to slowly grind down the curved portion of your Ridgeback's back paw nails. You should stop before you reach the dark circle you can see at the center of each one. This is a vein known as the quick, and if you nip it will release a little stream of blood. Of course accidents do happen; if you do cut it, you can stop the bleeding by dabbing on some styptic powder.
Cut the front paws the same way, but be conscious that your Ridgeback's nails are more sensitive at the front than at the back. It is best to trust your friend to control and soothe the animal while you keep your head down and finish the job.
Items you will need
- Dremel with cylindrical sanding attachment
- Dog biscuits
- Styptic powder

TAMIU SIFE Students Earn Impressive Honors at First Regional Competition
Texas A&M International University's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) team earned "Rookie of the Year" and Regional Champion honors at the SIFE USA Regional Competition in Dallas last week. (photo)
The group is only in its first year of organization, but defeated long-established teams from the University of Texas at Austin and Prairie View A&M University, among others. It will share its Regional title with the University of Texas-Pan American and advances to the national level of SIFE competition, the SIFE USA National Exposition, May 22-24 in Kansas City, Missouri.
TAMIU SIFE Team members include Triana Cisneros, president; Gabriela Ayala, vice president; Celina Arambula, secretary; Rosario Ibanez, treasurer; Grace Gabala, project coordinator; Jose Baez, public relations officer; and Juan de Dios Nieto, project coordinator.
The Team's academic advisor, Dr. J. Michael Patrick, said the competition was impressive and TAMIU was well-represented.
"These students did an outstanding job in competing against programs that are repeat champion and that have been participating in these competitions for over 20 years. In addition, most teams included as many as 25 members, while TAMIU's team included only 7 members. They did an incredible job and we are extremely proud of them," Dr. Patrick said.
Team members are planning a special presentation of their winning program for the community at large for April 27 at the University. They will also be looking for external sponsors to help raise funds to travel to the Kansas City competition.
During the academic year, TAMIU's SIFE Team completed five projects and organized five more for completion this summer in the Laredo community.
In preparation for regional competition, the TAMIU SIFE Team received valuable guidance and advice from members of its Business Advisory Board including James Arthur, home mortgage consultant, Wells Fargo; Neil Garcia, manager, Foley's; Carlos Guzman, vice president, The Laredo National Bank; Clema Owen, sales and marketing, Holiday Inn; Andres Rivas, TAMIU assistant professor of Economics; Virginia Vincent, former sales manager, EXEL Logistics; currently project manager, Center for the Study of Western Hemispheric Trade, TAMIU/COBA, and Richard Perez, former manager of Sears, currently project manager, TAMIU's Texas Center for Border Economics and Enterprise Development. The team coordinator is Jesse Gonzalez, project manager for the Texas Center.
SIFE had modest beginnings in Texas where the National Leadership Institute's Robert T. "Sonny" Davis, a Texas attorney, founded it in 1975. It has since grown to become an international non-profit organization active on over 1800 university campuses in more than 40 countries. Guided by faculty advisors who are named Sam M. Walton Free Enterprise Fellows in honor of the late Wal-Mart founder, SIFE Teams establish a variety of community outreach programs that teach free enterprise.
SIFE Teams create economic opportunities in their communities by organizing outreach projects that teach market economics, entrepreneurship, personal financial success skills and business ethics. The resulting projects are judged at competition on creativity, innovation and effectiveness.

Queering Easter: The Sisters of Perpetual IndulgencePosted On Monday, 12 April 2010 at at 00:52 by Terence
For many in the Church, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are an embarrassment, if not a scandal and disgrace. I have no knowledge of them except some very contradictory second hand reports, and so make no judgements myself. However, I found this report from Religion Dispatches refreshing, for presenting the positive side of their activities:
Queering Easter: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Redefine Sainthood
An order of queer nuns, founded in San Francisco thirty-one years ago, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is now a full-fledged pastoral and charitable organization, having given away more than a million dollars. They've also raised pioneers in LGBT and AIDS/HIV rights to sainthood, creating their own holy calendar.One of my favorite memories of gay and lesbian life was the one time I went to a Gay Pride march in San Francisco, now multiple decades ago. Among the memorable wonders was a small group who called themselves the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. On and off over the decades, I have thought of those drag nuns, roller skating along the Castro, throwing flowers into the crowd (and kisses) and hooting and hollering with the best of them.
Years later, when I co-edited Que(e)rying Religion with Gary David Comstock, I really wanted to have a picture of those nuns on the cover. To me, they were a vision of the complications of religion and sexuality. Turns out they are still out there, pushing us all to rethink what religion, nuns, charity, sexuality and fun might be — in fact, they are now an international phenomenon. They have, for some, redefined sainthood—and in the process redefined Easter.Months after Pope Benedict raised the Blessed Damien to sainthood, another figure linked to AIDS and HIV was "canonized" in San Francisco. As the Bay Area Reporter put it: "Where else but San Francisco could Irene Smith, a true pioneer in care for the ill and dying, be sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?" Who is Smith? Here's what the Bay Area Reporter said:Smith, who conducts Everflowing educational programs that teach touch skills as an integral component of end of life care, is revered as one of the first people to regularly massage those living with AIDS. She began her outreach in 1983, when she started going room to room offering her touch to patients on San Francisco General Hospital's Ward 5A (then the major AIDS ward in the city). Even before that, in April 1982, she approached the Hospice of San Francisco to propose what was then a novel service, massage for terminally ill hospice clients.
For those who recall the early years of the AIDS/HIV pandemic, and the fear of touching accompanying the devastation, Smith's focus on massage (and thus touch) was—and is—truly beneficent. In this season of Easter, even those of us who are secular (and I count myself among them) we might still ask: what is sainthood anyway? Who exactly raised Irene Smith to sainthood? Who are the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? We might ask, as well, is a secular Easter really all that oxymoronic?Not only do the Sisters redefine sainthood, but they redefine Easter as well. This Easter, April 4, 2010, they will celebrate their 31st anniversary in Dolores Park in San Francisco—with the traditional Hunky Jesus and Easter bonnet competitions.Founded in 1979, the order's official history (aka "sistory"—see this site) begins with their resistance to conformity within gay culture:
On Easter Weekend, during the time of the "Castro Clone," three men went out into the streets to challenge the world. They went in full, traditional habits through the streets of our city and down to the nude beach. One even carried a machine gun and smoked a cigar. They were met with shock and amazement, but captured everyone's interest. Their next appearance was at a softball game where their pompon routine all but stole the show and by the time the Castro Street Fair had rolled around, they were ready to recruit more. In the fall of 1979, Sister Hysterectoria and Reverend Mother went to the first International Faerie gathering and encountered even more men with the calling.
the post concludes:
It is sometimes difficult (especially now, in the Catholic Church), to remember that "Gospel" is a corruption of "God spell", or "Good news". The Gospel message should be joyous, a celebration. The glory of God, says St Irenaeus, is humans fully alive. Joy, I was regularly told by a spiritual director, is the "infallible sign of the Holy Spirit."And, of course, they do name saints. In addition to their December 2009 celebration of Irene Smith, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have canonized such figures as Harry Hay, Armistead Maupin, Harvey Milk, and New Palz Mayor Jason West. (For a longer list, see here.) For many, their claims to do so are simply unacceptable—making fun of "The Church." For others, they are wonderful in their rejection of the "The Church." Perhaps more accurately, their wonder lies in their refusal of this either/or in favor of a new queer sensibility, a new queer spirituality, a new canon of hope and transformation, and a renewed notion of sainthood. Not to mention, a resurrection of fun across the decades of AIDs and HIV, across communities of color and poverty, of trans and gay, of men and (though a tiny minority) women, an Easter bonnet contest redefining us all. For those in San Francisco, or all the other places around the globe where this movement has sprung up, Happy Easter.
Where is the joy in the modern Catholic Church? In what way does the isntitutional church help us to be fully alive? Far too often, the effect is quite the opposite: the church imbues us with guilt, not joy, and closes off opportunities to experience the fullness and richness of life, especially sexual life. Jesus Christ was fiercely critical of legalistic compliance with religious formulae and authority, where this got in the way of genuine loving service. It seems to me that by using irreverence, parody and humour, these "sisters" may have more in common with the real Gospel message than the canon lawyers and bureaucrats of the Vatican.

Timed qualifying has come to an end at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. To combat the desert heat and sun, the crew has liberally applied water to the Nevada hardpack and the track has developed ruts and puddles in various sections. The track is technical and jumpy, with steep faces on nearly every jump. The two triples pitch the racers higher in the air than an other round of the 17 stop tour.
Ken Roczen topped the charts against the Lites class with a lap time of TK over Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Dean Wilson. Both GEICO Powersports Honda champions, Eli Tomac and Justin Barcia, finished lower on the timing charts than many expected.

The crisis in China has piqued the interest of not only Western historians but also Southern California book enthusiasts, bookstores report.
Readers are seeking everything from travelogues to histories to learn more about the Asian giant.
At Dutton's Bookstore in West Los Angeles, sales have been extremely brisk, with two works especially popular, "Discos and Democracy," a satirical look at reforms in China by Orville Schell, and Paul Theroux's "Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train," which has only recently been issued in paperback.
Theroux's travelogue was popular to begin with, said store manager Ed Conklin, "but it definitely picked up with the happenings going on in China."
Enthusiasm for works on China also has run high at the Midnight Special bookstore in Santa Monica, where a second printing of Edgar Snow's "Red Star Over China," the classic eyewitness recounting of Mao Tse-tung's rise to power, has "sold really fast," store manager Margi Ghiz said.

Auto designer Henrik Fisker, co-founder of start-up Fisker Automotive, resigned as executive chairman today over disagreements with management over the future of the luxury plug-in hybrid manufacturer.
The company, which suspended operations while it seeks additional investors, said Fisker's departure won't change efforts to find a strategic partner with deep enough pockets to keep the company in business.
In a statement, the company said it "recognizes and thanks Mr. Fisker for his service and many contributions as Fisker Automotive has progressed from start-up to a fully-fledged global automotive company." The statement continued, "The Company has a strong and experienced management team and its strategy has not changed. Mr. Fisker's departure is not expected to impact the Company's pursuit of strategic partnerships and financing to support Fisker Automotive's continued progress as a pioneer of low-emission hybrid electric powertrain technology."
Bloomberg reported that in an email, Fisker, 49, said he's leaving because of "several major disagreements" with the carmaker's executive management on its business strategy. He didn't elaborate.
The company is weighing multiple bids from companies willing to help it stay in business, including a $350 million offer from Dongfeng Motor Corp. that would give the Chinese carmaker majority control, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg News last month.
Fisker needs additional investment to continue producing the $103,000 Karma and to launch the Nina, a lower priced plug-in hybrid the company had wanted to build at a renovated factory in Delaware.
But the company has been burdened with various quality problems that have dogged the launch of the Karma.

The Donkey Show (band)
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Donkey Show was a ska band based in San Diego that played Caribbean-sounding Ska during the eighties. The band was formed in 1985. They introduced many people to ska music and were in the unique position of being one of the founding bands of the "California Ska Sound", a precursor to what some would call the third wave of ska.[1] At one point they even received radio play on major radio stations such as KROQ-FM.
The Donkey Show are well known for their male and female lead vocalists[2] and for their legendary song writing collaborations between lead vocalist Ray Campbell and rhythm section bassist/songwriter Thomas Zambrano (see discography Mr. Brown single and Bali Island EP). The group's horn section consisted of Bronco Farwell on Trombone and sax played by Dave Hillyard who also went on to play with many renowned groups like Hepcat, The Slackers and Dave Hillyard and the Rocksteady Seven.[3]
The Donkey Show was responsible and will be remembered in part for bringing the 1960s Ska revival sound made popular over sea's by England's The Potato 5 to the shores of the US and influenced other bands such as The Toasters (Thrill me up), Let's Go Bowling (Rude 69) and Hepcat (then known as Sharpsville Step) to do the same. The Donkey Show appeared in a Ska Parade documentary video Members of The Donkey Show. This was part of a documentary series that focused on ska bands between 1988 and 1993. The documentary includes five-to-10 minute concert clips as well as Q & A sessions with the musicians.[4]
They performed concerts in various cities in California, and toured the US twice to sold-out crowds. They were the touring support for the Fishbone's 1989 Truth and Soul Tour. Some members of the band backed Buster Bloodvessel of Bad Manners on a California tour as Buster's All-Stars. The group's relationship with Boston-based Ska band Bim Skala Bim, along with Gerald Lokstadt of Spot Productions arranged for The Skatalites saxman, Jamaica's Chief musician Roland Alphonso to make his first solo trip to California in 1989 to record and perform with The Donkey Show. They played their last show at Berkeley International Ska Festival in 1990, in front of nearly 15,000 people in support of Dave Wakeling's group from Birmingham England, The English Beat.[5]
Many former members of the band have gone on to play for some of the most successful modern ska bands. One former member of The Donkey Show, Dave Hillyard, was also in the band Hepcat, and is now in The Slackers. Kent and Creedy went on to play in Unsteady, another California ska band of significance during the late'90s. Matt Parker played with The Adjusters, a political soul and ska band in Chicago and Thomas Zambrano has gone on to lead and successfully produce Los Angeles based Ska and Reggae Pop group Hoodlum Pharaohs (see NME)
In an interview from 2001[6] vocalist Kym Clift spoke of the breakup. "The band retired for many reasons; one being the fact that we were all branching out in different ways creatively as musicians. I know that sounds like such a stereotypical answer, but it's the truth. Oftentimes this leads to successful bands, you know, creating a unique sound from a variety of influences, but unfortunately for the Donkey Show, I feel it was partly responsible for the demise of the band. we were all pretty young, stubborn, and eager to explore new opportunities. Although I was very disappointed, I knew it was for the best. We quit while we were ahead and I would much rather do that then sell out, perform halfheartedly, or play sh*tty music."

Winter Weather Preparedness Tips
FEMA Document Last Updated: Tuesday, 11-Feb-2003
Page Link: http://www.fema.gov/hazards/winterstorms/winterweatherf.shtm
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is encouraging everyone to take preventive measures to ensure their safety and reduce the risk of winter storm damage to property.
Preparing Your Family
Assemble a disaster supply kit. Store drinking water,
canned/no-cook food, non-electric can opener, first aid kit, battery-powered
radio, flashlight and extra batteries where you can get them easily, even in
the dark. Also include winter specific items such as rock salt, sand and
other snow removal equipment.
Prepare for the possibility that you will need to stay in
your home for several days after a winter storm. Make sure that you have
sufficient heating fuel as well as emergency heating equipment in case
electricity is cut off.
House fires pose an additional risk, as more people turn to
alternate heating sources without taking the necessary safety precautions.
Keep fire extinguishers on hand, and make sure everyone in your house knows
how to use them.
Know ahead of time what you should do to help elderly or
disabled friends and neighbors or employees.
Maintain ventilation when using kerosene heaters to avoid a
build-up of toxic fumes and always refuel outside. Keep all heaters at least
three feet from flammable objects.
Dress in several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. Outer garments should be tightly woven and water-repellent. Wear a hat, mittens and sturdy, waterproof boots. Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs from extremely cold air.
Preparing Your Car
Keep cars and other vehicles fueled and in good repair.
Winterize your car by checking your car battery, ignition system,
thermostat, lights, flashers, exhaust, heater, brakes, defroster and tires.
Ensure that your car has adequate antifreeze, windshield washer fluid and
oil and check regularly throughout the season.
Place a winter emergency kit in each car that includes a
shovel, windshield scraper, flashlight, battery powered radio, extra
batteries, water, snack food, extra hats and mittens, blanket, tow chain or
rope, road salt and sand, booster cables, emergency flares and fluorescent
distress flag.
If traveling by car during a winter weather advisory or winter storm watch, do so in daylight, don't travel alone, keep others informed of your schedule and route, and stay on main roads. Avoid driving during a winter storm warning or blizzard warning.
Preparing Your Home
Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic,
insulate walls and attics, and apply caulk and weather-stripping to doors
and windows.
Winterize your house, barn, shed or any other structure that
may provide shelter for your family, neighbors, livestock or equipment.
Clear rain gutters; repair roof leaks and cut away tree branches that could
fall on a house or other structure during a storm.
Insulate pipes with insulation or newspapers and plastic and
allow faucets to drip a little during cold weather to avoid freezing.
Learn how to shut off water valves (in case a pipe bursts).
Hire a contractor to check the structural ability of the
roof to sustain unusually heavy weight from the accumulation of snow - or
water, if drains on flat roofs do not work.
Remove ice and snow from tree limbs, roof and other structures after the storm passes.
Winter Weather Terms
Know the terms used by weather forecasters so that you
clearly understand the risk to your family and your community, including:
Winter weather advisory - Winter weather conditions are
expected to cause significant inconveniences and may be hazardous,
especially to motorists;
Winter storm watch - Be alert, a storm is possible;
Winter storm warning - Take action, the storm is
occurring or will soon occur in the area;
Blizzard warning - Snow and strong winds combined will
produce blinding snow, near zero visibility, deep drifts, and
life-threatening wind chill - seek refuge immediately;
Frost/freeze warning - Below freezing temperatures are expected.
Winter storms accounted for five national major disasters and eight emergency declarations in 2001 as well as five major disasters and one emergency declaration to date in 2002. The severe weather damaged homes and businesses from New York to Oregon.

It's great when you have a mother who loved to shop in the iconic fashion decades. 80s/90s fashion is so current today, and many styles have been revised for us to enjoy.
When I used to shop with my mum, nearly every item I'd pick up, she would say, 'Kara! Haha! I used to wear that in the 80s!' or 'Kara! Don't buy that, I've saved something similar for you!' And she was right. On many occasions I've put down that item, then later she'd go scooping at the back of her wardrobe.
Some may call it hoarding, I call it save it for when it's back in fashion!
Denim is a classic, especially when it's vintage Levi's. Yes, ALL denim pieces are Levi's originals. I know there are girls out there who won't think it's cool to wear something so old, worn or what your mum used to wear.
Think of it as contributing to a greener society. Instead of chucking it away, up-cycle!
So thank you mum, I know you'll be reading this!
Thank you for teaching me everything valuable in life, and always being an inspiration for me. And thank you for passing on fantastic clothes!
