Sorry, no definitions found. You may find more data at ahnu.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
The single sheet contains a piano composition with the title Ahnu ...
The name Ahnu is derived from Celtic mythology, from the goddess of balance and well-being.
Ahnu makes shoes with cool natural features like charred bamboo antibacterial, plus these shoes are designed to take a lot of wear.
TSUBO® and Ahnu® are registered trademarks of Deckers Outdoor Corporation.
The maker of Ugg boots, among other brands like Teva and Ahnu, has seen its stock gain 9%
So, we had a very, very small amount of sales for one month for Ahnu.
Combined net sales of the company's other brands, TSUBO and Ahnu which we did not earn during the first quarter of 2008 were $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2009.
We're very pleased with the management team that joined us and believe that overtime there is an opportunity to leverage our position in the outdoor industry to expand Ahnu brand and grow our share of the outdoor lifestyle market, especially in women's.
We still anticipate the Ahnu brand to have a negative impact of approximately $0.06 to $0.08 per diluted share for the full year of 2009.
For the Simple brand, we now expect sales to increase approximately 5\% to 10\%, down from our previous expectation of approximately 20\% to 25\% and for the TSUBO brand, we now expect sales to be approximately $5 million to $7 million, down from $7 million to $9 million, which we will expect Ahnu brand sales to be between $4 million to $6 million.

Evil Redbox Tricksters In Chicago Make Game Renters Sad Image courtesy of (frankieleon.)
We ran a post on the subject, with photos, last year. If this happens to you, don't fret. Redbox will not leave you holding the bag. Well, the empty case. The scam recently turned up in the suburbs of Chicago, and scared Redbox customers who were afraid they'd be charged for the game. Games are more expensive than DVDs, after all, and you can get a lot more entertainment out of a copy of "Call of Duty" than a copy of "Peeples."
A Redbox spokesman told a paper in the region where the scam has popped back up that people faking barcodes to steal games isn't a very widespread problem, or they wouldn't be making any money. "If the problem was widespread, it wouldn't be a profitable business for us," he pointed out. The company is looking for ways to fight this particular fraud, but isn't sharing what those methods might be with the general public.

|Marvin Gaye's brilliance was tainted by his troubled life.
The trials of a gifted soul
Most people know a couple of salient facts about Marvin Gaye: He was a brilliant musician and he died a tragic death, shot by his father the day before his 45th birthday. Beyond that, though, the story of Gaye's life and music hasn't been widely told, and the PBS documentary "Marvin Gaye: What's Going On," which premieres tonight, feels long overdue.
Unfortunately, it also feels a bit thin, especially when it comes to Gaye's incalculable impact on the evolution of black popular music. With the 1971 release of "What's Going On," a conceptual masterpiece that explored the day's pressing political issues, Gaye single-handedly redefined soul music as both an artistic and social force. "When Marvin wanted to do a protest album, I was petrified," confesses Motown founder Berry Gordy, who initially refused to release the record that he later realized was the greatest piece of work Motown ever put out.
But Emmy-winning writer-director Sam Pollard is more interested in Gaye's troubled family and ensuing psychic struggles, and he focuses his film on the inner conflict that paved the way for Gaye to follow up his deeply spiritual, socially charged magnum opus with "Let's Get It On," one of the most erotic collections in pop music.
"I think we have two sets of gods in us . . . and we have to decide which power we are going to serve," Gaye says midway through the film, which features a small but well-chosen selection of archived interview and performance footage. Pollard posits that Gaye couldn't make that choice, and that at the root of the artist's failed struggle to reconcile the sacred and the sexual was his father, a cross-dressing minister prone to violent rages and vociferous disapproval of his musical, independent-minded son.
As it is with many gifted artists, the interior battles that doomed Gaye to bouts of depression and drug abuse were the very qualities that made him a great musician - the kind of creative soul who can "take the mundane and breathe the transcendent into it," according to cultural critic Michael Eric Dyson. Among the other talking heads who weigh in with frequently striking insights are Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves, Mos Def, Nelson George, and Mary Wilson, as well as Gaye's sister Jeanne and ex-wife Jan - the 16-year-old inspiration for "Let's Get It On," with whom Gaye fell in love while still married to his first wife, Gordy's sister Anna.
Gaye spent most of his career at Motown, and the film provides a fascinating window on the early days of the fledgling company, a mecca for black musicians that Gordy ran much like an assembly line at the
By the time his spiraling substance abuse forced him to move back into his parents' Los Angeles house in 1983, Gaye was physically and spiritually drained, and Pollard suggests that the artist actually manipulated events to precipitate a deadly conflict with his father - a theory supported by a number of Gaye's confidantes. "We had," notes close friend Gladys Knight, "already lost him."

text: Home > Medical > Headache > Treatment options 02 November 2006 How not to treat a migraine If you're taking over-the-counter medicines for migraines, there's a good chance you're setting yourself up for more headaches down the line. 0 If you're taking over-the-counter medicines for migraines, there's a good chance you're setting yourself up for more headaches down the line. New research shows that over-the-counter pain relievers - and even some prescription medications - can cause frequent and chronic "rebound" headaches. Too much medication "Some patients who have migraine develop chronic daily headaches, and that's likely due to too much symptomatic medication of any kind," says Dr Steven Graff-Radford, co-director of the Pain Centre at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles. "The symptomatic medication may result in changes in the brain that don't allow the pain-inhibiting centre to switch on, so that patients with migraine go from once every month to every day, and they take more and more medication and the process continues," he says. Adds Dr Larry Newman, director of the Headache Institute at Roosevelt Hospital in New York City: "As the drug wears out of the system, it causes a vasodilation [dilation of the blood vessels], which sets off a headache cycle and you re-dose and it's a never-ending cycle of chasing your tail." Wean yourself off slowly Most migraine sufferers treat themselves with over-the-counter analgesics, Graff-Radford says. About half use these drugs exclusively. "The concern is, if they are self-treating and are taking the medication on a regular basis more than two to three days a week, then they're going to develop the potential for a rebound headache," he says. The key to treating rebound headaches - and migraines - is to wean yourself slowly off any drugs you're taking more than three times a week, Graff-Radford says. He reduces patients' dosage by 20 percent every four days until they're at a minimal dose. Eliminating triggers At the same time, patients need to start eliminating migraine "triggers." "The classic triggers are food triggers," Newman says. Red wine, chocolate, aged cheeses, nuts, pressed meats, citrus fruits, foods containing monosodium glutamate (MSG), caffeine and Nutrasweet all need to go, he says. Stress, anxiety, too little sleep and lack of exercise can also unleash migraines. Other triggers aren't easily eliminated, but they can be managed. For example, 70 percent of women migraine sufferers have headaches associated with their menstrual cycles. Weather can also be a factor. "When the barometric pressure dips, it causes a cascade of events in the brain which triggers a headache," Newman says. Lack of a regular schedule can also be a culprit. "Migraine sufferers' brains seem to be wired differently. They're sensitive to changes such as missing sleep," Newman says. "We try to get our patients with migraine to routinely engage in an exercise program, and follow strict eating and sleeping programs." Other treatments There are also a number of non-pharmacologic treatments to be considered. The Pain Centre at Cedars-Sinai, for instance, uses a "headache-blasting" combination of vitamins, including magnesium, vitamin B2 and feverfew, Graff-Radford says. Newman uses a similar combination, but cautions the doses are quite high and it can take up to three months for results. Many of his female patients benefit from additional magnesium around their menstrual cycles. Self-help, cognitive and behavioural interventions are also becoming more popular. Graff-Radford uses posture and stretching exercises to deal with muscle pain in the neck and jaw. Some patients also use biofeedback, hypnosis and even abdominal breathing. Newman has found acupuncture to be effective with chronic headaches. In a more experimental vein, there's even evidence that Botox and yoghurt can ease migraine pains, Newman says. At the same time, many patients receive some form of preventative medication. Graff-Radford says it can be anything from a combination of vitamins to one of the classic preventative medications such as beta blockers, calcium-channel blockers, anti-seizure drugs or tricyclic antidepressants. Increasing the dose of a migraine medication such as one of the triptans during the week leading up to menstruation can also have a preventative effect, Newman says.

Toyota Corolla Brake Line
Fluid Bleeding Guide
How to "bleed" or flush the brake lines of a 2003 to 2008 Toyota Corolla with fresh DOT3 fluid including pictures.
New Brake Fluid $3.42 Each
Corolla Rear Wheel
Loosen Five Lug Nuts
Raise Vehicle - Floor Jack
Support With Jack Stands
Spin Off 5 Lug Nuts
|The brake lines
should be bled in order from the brakes furthest from the reservoir in the
engine bay to the closest.
So on a Toyota Corolla, you would start by bleeding the rear passenger drum brake, then the rear driver side drum brake, the front passenger side disc brake and finally the front driver side disc brake located closest to the reservoir.
The first steps are to chock the front wheels, loosen the five lug nuts on the rear wheels, raise the rear of the vehicle with a floor jack and securely support it with the two jack stands.
Then spin off the five lug nuts on each rear wheel, pull off the wheels and set them aside in a safe place.
(If you have four jack stands, you can remove all four wheels to make the process easier.)
Rear Passenger Side Drum
Brake Fluid Bleeder Valve
Remove Rubber Valve Cap
|Look on the back of
the rear passenger side drum brake and locate the brake fluid bleeder valve.
Remove the rubber cap and set it aside in a safe place.
Power Bleeder Box
Motive Fluid Catch Bottle
Brake Fluid Reservoir
|Remove the cap on
the brake fluid reservoir by twisting it off counter clockwise and top it
off with some fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
Keep in mind that brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs water), so replace the brake fluid reservoir cap whenever possible to prevent the brake fluid from becoming contaminated.
Remove Reservoir Cap
Set Up Power Bleeder
Attach Universal Adapter
|If you have a
Motive Products Power Bleeder kit, attach the universal brake fluid
reservoir cap or the Toyota specific cap to the top of the brake fluid
Pump the handle at the top of the Power Bleeder until the pressure gauge reaches about 10 PSI.
Some people choose to pour new brake fluid into the Power Bleeder and have it continuously refill the brake fluid reservoir as you flush the brake lines.
We found it less of a hassle to just use the Power Bleeder to maintain constant pressure on the reservoir, remove it, and re-fill the reservoir manually with more brake fluid as needed.
If you don't have a Power Bleeder kit, you'll need your assistant to sit in the driver's seat of the vehicle.
Attach the rubber tubing and old brake fluid catch bottle to the bleeder valve on the rear passenger side drum brake.
Have your assistant place pressure on the brake pedal as you crack open the bleeder valve with an 8mm wrench.
Instruct them to stop pushing on the pedal when it reaches 2/3 to 3/4 of the way down to the floorboard but not to release it.
Then close the valve and ask them to release the pedal. Repeat these steps multiple times for each brake assembly (RR, LR, RF, LF) until the brake fluid coming out of the bleeder valve is clear.
Achieve 10 PSI Pressure
Hang Catch Bottle
Attach Tube - Open Valve
|Hang the Power
Bleeder old brake fluid catch bottle above the rear passenger side drum
brake and attach the tube securely to the bleeder valve.
Open the bleeder valve by turning it clockwise (as seen from the outside of the vehicle) and watch as the old brake fluid travels up through the rubber tubing into the catch bottle.
Check Reservoir Fluid Level
Check Power Bleeder Pressure
Close Bleeder Valve
|Move to the engine
bay as the brake fluid is being flushed out and check the level in the
reservoir and also the PSI pressure level in the Power Bleeder unit.
When the brake fluid level in the reservoir approaches the half way point, go back to the drum brake and close the bleeder valve by turning it counter clockwise with the 8mm wrench.
Fluid Sensor - Other Side
|Remove the rubber
tubing from the bleeder valve and the catch bottle from the suspension.
Re-install the tubing and catch bottle to the bleeder valve and suspension on the rear driver side drum brake.
Repeat the process of opening the bleeder valve and be sure to check the level in the reservoir along with the pressure in the Power Bleeder unit.
Do not allow the level in the reservoir to dip below the "Low Brake Fluid" sensor located on the passenger side of the reservoir bottle.
Bleeding Front Disc Brake
Old Dirty Brake Fluid
Low Reservoir Level
|Remove the Power
Bleeder reservoir cap adapter and refill the reservoir with fresh brake
fluid to the "Max" line.
Repeat all of the steps for the front passenger side disc brake and the front driver side disc brake.
Pour Out Old Brake Fluid
Detach Universal Adapter
Valvoline Brake Fluid
|Once the catch bottle is almost full with old brake fluid, empty it out into an automotive catch container for proper disposal later.
Pour In New Brake Fluid
Re-Attach Universal Adapter
Flushing Rear Passenger
|Repeat the process
of filling up the brake fluid reservoir and bleeding each brake assembly
from furthest to closest until the brake fluid coming out of the bleeder
valves look almost completely clear.
We used two 12 ounce bottles of new brake fluid to thoroughly flush out the brake lines and re-fill the reservoir to the "Max" line.
Replace the brake fluid reservoir cap as soon as possible.
Brake Fluid Much Cleaner
Replace Bleeder Valve Caps
|When you have
finished flushing the brake lines, double check that all the bleeder valves
are tight by turning them counter clockwise with the 8mm wrench.
Replace the rubber valve caps to help prevent debris from entering the valve stems.
Fill Reservoir To "Max"
Replace Reservoir Cap
Tighten Lug Nuts
|Replace the wheels,
spin on the lug nuts by hand to prevent them from becoming cross threaded,
and tighten down the lug nuts to 1/4 to 1/2 turn past hand tight or about 75
to 100 ft lbs of torque with a torque
Sit in the driver seat of the vehicle and pump the brake pedal a few times to restore brake line pressure.
If the brake pedal feels firm, take the car for a short test drive on low speed streets.

Top of the World: Duncan Chisholm – Affric
Posted on January 27th, 2013 in Recent posts, Reviews by Songlines Magazine.
Final part of Caledonian concept-album trilogy
Chisholm was born and raised in Inverness, in the Scottish Highlands. He learned under the late, great fiddler player, composer and instrument maker Donald Riddell, is a regular player with Julie Fowlis and has his own band, Wolfstone. Affric is the third and final part of his epic Strathglass Trilogy, six years in the making, following the previous volumes Farrar and Canaich.
Affric is Duncan's musical homage to the ancient Chisholm clan lands north-west of Loch Ness. Glen Affric is home to ancient Caledonian pine woods, lochs, moorlands and mountains, and it's easy to see them all moving through the mind's eye as the 11 beautifully conceived instrumental tracks take us through a suite that begins with a traditional air, the kind of tune that Chisholm's pure tone and expressive feel raises to the sublime. Self-penned tunes mix with pieces by Phil Cunningham, Rory Campbell and others, and there's an excerpt from poet Neil Munro's 'To Exiles' read by piper Allan MacDonald. Other guests include Patsy Reid on fiddle and viola, Tony Byrne and Ross Hamilton on guitars – driving the evocative, beautiful 'The Flooded Meadow' – plus accordion, uilleann pipes and Phil Cunningham's piano. There's a lot of musical variation throughout, with contrasting textures, tones and atmospheres, whether it be the guitar-driven otherworldliness of 'The Erchless Scout', the lyrical warmth of 'The House in Rose Valley' or the unadorned beauty and epic landscape of 'Unknown Air'. Beautifully recorded and presented, Affric represents some of the finest instrumental music from Scotland 's new generation of players.

(CNN) -- A tsunami warning was canceled following a 7.6-magnitude earthquake that struck Sunday morning near the Solomon Islands, officials said.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center based in Hawaii had issued a warning for the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu, but later lifted it.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake, initially estimated at a magnitude 8.3, occurred at a depth of about 29 kilometers (18 miles).
The USGS said it occurred about 60 miles south-southeast of Kirakira, Solomon Islands.

Feeding the Spirit: Dreams, Art and Language in the Elementary Classroom
Feeding the Spirit: Art, Dreams and Language in the Elementary Classroom, by Art Rogers, explores and documents the important role of art in elementary education, particularly in the area of language development, as well as across disciplines. The author also presents an eloquent and persuasive case for the importance of dreamwork in the classroom as an untapped source of inspiration for creative expression. In addition to providing a strong pedagogic and philosophical foundation supporting art as a core element of the learning process, Rogers gives specific, practical examples of successful instructional strategies from his own teaching experience.

Tag Clouds for the Republican Debate
Mark Blumenthal | May 4, 2007
Topics: 2008 , Debates , The 2008 Race
Having posted a set of tag clouds last week on the Democrats comments during last weeks' MSNBC debate, we naturally wanted to do the same for last night's Republican debate. So we once again turned to Janet Harris (president of the media analysis firm, Upstream Analysis), who kindly sent over another set created using the free site TagCrowd and the transcript of the debate provided by the Federal News Service.
For those who missed last week's post, each graphic below displays the 50 words used most often by each candidate during his answers to last night's debate, with the type size varying according to its frequency of usage. The larger the type size, the more often each candidate used that word. The clouds omit common words like "and," "of," "the" and (relevant to Giuliani) "new."
A few minor changes from last week, mostly by popular demand: The clouds now also display the count for each word (in parentheses). As you will see the, size of each displayed word is partly a function of the number of words spoken by each candidate. In other words, the scale is not constant across candidates. Also each Cloud now automatically groups similar words (e.g., learn, learns, learned, learning are all grouped under "learning"), but for some reason it doesn't do this for America/American. Janet also excluded references to the moderator ("Chris").
As she did for the Democratic tag clouds, Janet created a PDF version suitable for printing.
Keep in mind with that each candidate answered different questions, so the words they used varied accordingly. With that huge caveat, here are a few observations, mostly from Janet:
- You can clearly see areas of emphasis for some candidates: New York for Rudy Giuliani (the program filtered out "New"), the border fence for Duncan Hunter, jobs and faith for Mike Huckabee, and for John McCain, references to president and Iraq, Iran, war, weapons and security.
- Mitt Romney, like John Edwards last week, shows clear emphasis of simple language and man-of-the-people rhetoric: America(n), values, nation, church, faith.
- Contrast Romney to the cloud of negativity from Ron Paul: bad, critical, fight, interfere, ought, poor, rid, secrecy, war.
- Abortion was most prominent for Romney and Giuliani (as well as "pro-choice" for Romney), that is probably a function of those candidates being asked about that issue more than the others.
Last week, your comments, questions and interpretations were as interesting as the clouds themselves. Once again, please, have at it...
Correction: Representative Tom Tancredo originally labeled as Governor Tancredo.
Update: Hotline On Call has posted the number of questions each Republican recieved and the total amount of time for which they spoke.

Brownback is the only one that appears to have any familiarity with Newt-Speak. Interesting.
I know that tag clouds are not entirely scientific but I feel that it would be a more accurate representation of the debate if the font size were standardized amongst the various candidates - where Sen. McCain with his 2,000 words would likely have a larger font for his most frequently used words than Rep. Hunter would with his 1,000. It may just be overly picky on my part, and I do have personal preference for visual representations that include a relating numerical statistic, but when you contrast and give equal weight to Rep. Paul's "cloud of negativity" as Gov. Romney's "man-of-the-people rhetoric" it affords the possibility of misinterpretation. On a side note, is it not strange that only one candidate has "conservative" is his top 50 most used words at a Republican debate and he is not even amongst the front runners?
america is israel's puppet...ron paul will cut the strings...VOTE RON PAUL '08

This past week has been a busy one for land-speed racing enthusiasts.
First, the Southern California Timing Association held its next-to-last El Mirage dry lakes meet of the year on Sunday, with 82 cars and 31 bikes entered. Six of those cars and one of those bikes set records, the fastest of those being Rick Yacoucci in the F/BGS class at 243.183 mph. The fastest speed of the meet, however, went to Fred Dannefelzer in the B/BFL class at 263.349 mph. A full list of results is at scta-bni.org. The final SCTA meet of the year will take place at El Mirage November 11-12.
It must have been the success of JCB's diesel team at this year's Speedweek (or maybe GM's ethanol-fueled Cobalt), because we're now hearing about two more alternative-fuel streamliners headed to the salt next year. The Ohio State University's land-speed racing team, which was behind the U.S. electric land-speed record at 314.958 mph, plans to hit the salt next year with the first hydrogen fuel cell-powered land-speed racing vehicle, dubbed the Buckeye Bullet 2.
And the British Steam Car Challenge, announced last year, now has a tangible car, called Inspiration, and definite plans to race the car at Bonneville. The team will aim for 200 mph, which should easily shatter Bob Barber's 1985 steam car record of 145.607 mph. For more information about the Buckeye Bullet 2, visit www.roadtobonneville. For more information about the Inspiration, visit www.steamcar.co.uk.
Finally, adventurer Steve Fossett, most recently famous for his non-stop balloon circumnavigations of the globe, announced over the weekend that he next plans to break Andy Green's world land-speed record, aiming for about 800 mph in a jet-driven car. His first attempt will take place next July in an unnamed Nevada desert site.

Some Interesting Small Boat TrailersArticle By Shorty
I have always liked small boat trailers, and have pretty much given up cartopping because small trailers are so easy to use for transporting and storing just about any type of boat.
There are 2 key elements to my love of boat trailers
First is my trailer dolly.
When I get home from the lake, it is just so simple to unhook my trailer and wheel it around. I find that a 500 lb boat is about the biggest I can wheel thru my yard, and 1800 lbs is the biggest that I can push around the street and up my driveway.
The second key item is the large gate I built on the side of my house.
It is wide enough that I can roll any highway legal boat into my back yard. Depending on what boats I have in stock at the time, I roll them around in various spots, hiding them from my wife. Luckily she can't tell the difference between them, so whenever a new one arrives and that curious statment comes from her mouth "Is that a new boat over there"? I just try to play it off as the boat that was over there behind the other one, and I just re-arranged. :)
This is a very simple and cheap trailer that various manufacturers make. It is simply a rectangle of heavy angle iron, bolted onto a long tongue. Couldn't get any simpler, but works great for small light loads.
This is a trailer I like to call a "Kayak Stick". It is the smallest trailer I have seen so far, basically just a tongue with a cross bar attached to it. They are very skinny, if you had a very narrow side yard or just a little bit of space in your garage, this would be an ideal trailer.
One of the problems with trailering small and light boats is that most trailer springs are built to carry atleast 1000 lbs (rather a pair carries that). So if your boat only weighs 100 lbs, the stiffness of the springs makes it seem like there are no springs at all and all the jarring force from pot holes is transmitted directly to the hull. Making a good set of bunks such as the ones in the Holder 12 sailboat bunk board article can help distribute this force around the hull making it an easier ride.
This is a trailer made for a sunfish that addresses the stiff spring problem. The springs were taken apart, and only one leaf was used. One end of it is u-bolted to a cross bar, while the other end is u-bolted to the axle. It is a really springy trailer, and works very well.
When hauling multiple types of boats on a trailer, the distance from the winch post to the axle needs to be adjusted to get the proper tongue weight. Most trailers have an adjustable winch post, but there are others that have a movable axle instead. Like this one, the axle is often attached to a simple rectangle frame which is u-bolted to the main frame or just a stick for a tongue. You then slide the axle assembly forward or aft till it is the proper weight for the boat you are carrying.
Here is a homemade trailer that was constructed mostly of angle iron. I have seen bed frames at thrift shops that could be purchased for almost nothing, have wondered about making a trailer from that.
Here is a good example of a rather flimsy homemade trailer. I was giving away landscaping rock and a family showed up with this hunk of junk. It was constructed of various pieces of trash metal, such as fence posts and parts off industrial machines.
The axle assembly was also of an interesting nature, there was only one spring in the middle which the bed rested on. The bed had all sorts of play and bounced around in all directions. Needless to say, they overloaded the trailer and blew a tire, bent the axle and abandoned it in my cul-de-sac.
The smallest and cheapest of the Harbor Freight trailers sure gets around, here is one example where a long tongue and cross supports were added to turn it into a viable boat trailer.
This is sort of an extreme example, showing what a little creativity can come up with.
Have 2 board boats and want to carry them together? You can either back the trailer and launch one boat, then back some more and launch the other boat, or just hand carry them to the water since you probably have a 2nd person with you anyway.
Have you ever noticed that huge amount of space between the hulls of a hobie? What a great place to stash another boat. Some people use smaller boats towed behind a hobie as a way to carry their camping gear. Also I have seen a lot of utility boxes and sail storage tubes built onto the frame of trailers. The thing to keep in mind is that everything left in the box gets wet when you launch your boat.
Learning To Weld Small Boat Trailers
If you are a boat-aholic like me, you need to learn to weld, so you can make various boat dollies from scrap materials and a kids bike from the thrift shop. I made a couple of these and they are very useful !!
Simple as can be, just some angle iron, a long pipe and parts from a bicycle. I bought a couple of kid bikes for $5 each at a local thrift shop.
You can see the welder I have, it is a very simple 110 volt welder that uses a special flux core wire. It is very handy, I don't need any special outlets, I can plug it into just about any regular 110 outlet (or 120 volt) or even and extension cord and then use it to weld.
Inside the welder it holds a spool of the special wire, then the welder will feed that out the nozzle which is used for the welding. As the arc starts, the flux core vaporizes to create the gas shield to faciliate the welding. That spool of wire is pretty cheap too, only like ten bucks.
My original need was for something to build cardboard boats on, and then to carry the boats to the race. I carry the dolly and race boat on top of my harbor freight trailer, then at the race I can slide the dolly off and wheel it over to the pit area.
I am always scrounging up a new junk hull to fixup. They used to lay in various spots in my yard, but now I keep them up on the dollys. Easy to wheel around and work on.
On my big cardboard race boat, I made a huge flat bed for the boat to lay on. Helps keep the bottom flat till next year's race. The bar on top is to lay the rain cover on.
I was at my daughter's football game and saw some interesting trailers behind the school we were at. There were various pieces of equipment for maintaining the fields, and this simple trailer that was made from the axle of a car.
It didn't have any springs or suspension, just looked like it was the axle with some angle iron welded on top.
Not sure what it was used for, but looks like a cheap way to make a trailer.

Official Notice of a Short Suspension
I'm not recovering from my recent malady any too quickly, and in his usual way of totally supporting me, Papa Pea has now come down with a form of what I've had. A couple of nights ago, this sent him into a slightly scary (for two people who almost never get sick) night of chills, fever and out-of-his-headness. Fortunately, that passed. Although, my cognitive skills are admittedly not operating at peak level right now either so who knows what shape either of us is actually in.
Now we seem to be in the stage of nights when one tosses and turns listening to the coughing fit of the other. Then we both settle into a fitful sleep until the next coughing fit of one of us takes hold. Oh my, yes, we both get up in the morning looking and feeling as fit as fiddles and ready to tackle anything that may come our way.
Our weather still refuses to give us more than tiny fleeting glimpses of sunshine. We have been so immersed in gray, foggy, dampness that not much in our outside world is drying out. This is seeming to add to the fact that we're both feeling a smidge bit of stress regarding all we had planned on having done, or at least under control, at this time of the calendar year, but don't.
So, dear readers, those are my excuses as to why I currently need to cut my daily efforts back to the bones of necessity until I'm back to my normal, vibrantly healthy, totally organized and on-top-of-everything self. (HahahaHAHAHAhohoheehee.)
See ya soon!

We hope you get well very soon! By the looks of the upcoming (?) growing season, you still have some time to get your health and strength back. This particular bug has been hanging around the area for a long time. In December I went to the clinic to get my annual physical. I was fit as a fiddle until a few days later. I do believe I got sick by catching some darned bug in the clinic! I had not been sick with a germ for over 10 years. So, I guess, the lesson of the story is to stay away from hospitals, clinics...and...people, for that matter! ;) 'Hoping you both heal real fast. -MReplyDelete
Hope you feel better soon -- look at it this way: as long as the weather is so crappy, just take all the naps you want!ReplyDelete
I am so sorry to hear you are both so sick hun. Praying it clears out soon, and you can both start feeling better!ReplyDelete

Zito's gem brings NLCS home to SF
Updated 12:03 am, Saturday, October 20, 2012
St. Louis -- The truth about the Giants is that they have no home. They're the most comfortable travelers baseball has seen in years. They check out of hotels with great reluctance, pining for just one more day with those tiny bars of soap.
The fact that they will be home, for a Game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday, gives this postseason a special place in franchise history. They've already done enough to defy convention, the odds and rampant skepticism. It's only right that this series plays to a conclusion in front of the fans who have packed AT&T Park all season.
If you don't quite recognize the team that hung a stunning 5-0 defeat on the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night, it's because the Giants have established a postseason pattern too indelible to deny. On top of Barry Zito's epic Game 5 performance and the three-game sweep in Cincinnati, they clinched all of their 2010 playoff series - against Atlanta, Philadelphia and Texas - on the road.
"Believe me, we like playing at home, too," said a smiling Brandon Crawford, whose two-run single drove a stake through Cardinal hopes in the fourth inning. "I wish I had an answer, so we'd do the same thing at home. The thing is, though, we get a playoff atmosphere at every home game all season. Coming here, having a riled-up crowd, we thrive off that."
It was a night of raw desperation for the Giants, their deeds downright heroic at times. Zito, with his 7 2/3 innings of six-hit, shutout ball, didn't just pitch "his best game as a Giant," said former owner Peter Magowan, standing proudly in a corner of the winning clubhouse. In terms of postseason elimination games, it was the greatest performance ever by a Giants starter - including the many decades in New York. (Statistically, it surpassed Billy Pierce's complete-game three-hitter when the Giants won Game 6 of the 1962 World Series against the Yankees, 5-2, at Candlestick Park.)
The clubhouse reaction to Zito's performance bordered on reverence. "When you think about all he's gone through," said reliever Jeremy Affeldt, "the tough times, not making the playoff roster two years ago, for him to come in this year and win 15 games, knowing he's under the microscope every time he pitches, and now here's our biggest game of the year, and he does that - I'll be proud to say I was there. This guy never makes an excuse, works hard, pulls for guys, he's a great teammate, and I think everybody in here is ecstatic for him."
Zito ranks with the truly awful hitters in the game, but he's fairly adroit on bunt attempts. He dropped a beautiful sacrifice bunt in the third inning, then shocked everyone with a drag-bunt single down the third-base line in the fourth, driving in a run and making it clear this was a special evening.
"I've seen him try it a couple of times, but not quite like that," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Couldn't have put it in a better spot. That surprised a lot of people, including us."
"The sneak-attack bunt," Buster Posey called it. "He was showin' the wheels off, too."
Zito's improvisation inspired a remarkable sequence of events. Second baseman Marco Scutaro made a whirling, fabulous play to his left in the fifth inning, throwing out pinch-hitter Shane Robinson, only moments after Hunter Pence's once-in-a-lifetime play on Pete Kozma's lazy fly ball down the right-field line.
On the dead run, and about to slide, Pence knew he'd need two hands to cover all the possibilities - and the ball struck his bare hand first, before caroming straight into the glove. "No matter how many baseball games you watch, you always see something new," said a beaming Pence. "Crazy things happen, but ... I really don't know how I did that."
That's the thing about elimination games, said Affeldt. "When athletes are backed up against the wall, we're gonna do whatever we gotta do. Zito's bunt - that was a gutsy deal, man. Pence makes that catch, out of nowhere. Sometimes when you're playing a team that's in a hole, like we are, it's hard to beat 'em."
It's always wise to allow statistics in the conversation. Until Crawford came through, the Giants had been 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position since arriving in St. Louis. Before Zito's gem, only 12 of 51 left-handed starters had registered a win against the Cardinals this season. As always, though, the visuals mattered most.
About 20 minutes before game time, Zito assumed his customary spot in the outfield, playing long-toss with his catcher (in this case, Posey). Ever backtracking, and always firing bullets at full speed, he retreated to a 200-foot distance at one point. Here was a glimpse of a card-carrying eccentric, as well as a baseball savant, a man who hasn't had an arm problem in his life.
He could have finished the game. He knew that better than anyone. But it seemed crucial that Zito depart with a shutout in progress. As Bochy made his way to the mound, summoning reliever Santiago Casilla in the eighth, Posey tapped Zito on the chest. Then Scutaro did the same, and then Pablo Sandoval. No accident, there. They went straight for the heart.

Jook, a traditional Chinese comfort food, is a great way to soothe stomachs stuffed the previous day with turkey, trimmings and rich desserts. The ideal consistency for this porridge resembles light- to medium-bodied Cream of Wheat that falls easily from the spoon.
Makes 3 quarts.
1 turkey carcass
4 quarts cold water
1 cup long-grain rice (jasmine rice recommended)
1/2 cup glutinous rice or long-grain rice
4 quarter-sized slices peeled fresh ginger, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
Garnishes and condiments (optional):
Cilantro sprigs
Thinly sliced green onion
Fresh water chestnuts or jicama, peeled and minced
Black fungus, rehydrated and julienned (see shopper's note)
Dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated and thinly sliced
Asian sesame oil
Soy sauce
Pickled turnip or bamboo shoots
To boil carcass: Remove excess skin from carcass but leave any browned, crisp pieces for additional flavor. To help fit carcass into pot, cut it in half, breaking it across backbone along ribs. Place halves in large stockpot. Add cold water. Bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, skimming off scum that rises to top. Reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes.
To add rice: Rinse rice well in several changes of water until water runs clear. Add rice to pot. Return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add ginger. Reduce heat to low. Cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. (Note: Low heat and stirring are important to avoid scorching as jook thickens.)
To simmer soup: Remove carcass and skin from jook. Discard bones and skin. Shred any large pieces of meat or cut into bite-size pieces. Return meat to soup. Add salt. Simmer for 30 minutes or until a good consistency is reached.
To serve: Finish with sesame oil. Serve with small dishes of garnishes and condiments.
Shopper's note: Black fungus, a dried mushroom, is available in Asian markets.

Going on Vacation? - Tips for Keeping Your Home Safe While You're Away
The most secure doors have a deadbolt lock with a one-inch throw and reinforced strike plate.
While most of us relish the summer months because it's time spent on vacation and camping trips with family and friends, burglars also delight in June, July, and August— homeowners are away, some leaving their homes as easy targets.
Most communities across the United States will experience a 10 to 18 percent in home burglaries during the months of June, July, and August, with most tending to occur in August, according to FBI statistics.

"A significant number of break-ins could be prevented with simple precautions such as canceling a newspaper delivery, placing timers on lamps, and having a neighbor take in the mail," said Lauren Russ, executive director of the Burglary Prevention Council, a nationwide nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public on crime prevention.
Some 28 percent of burglaries are made without force, meaning through an open door or window, which underscores the importance of locking your doors and windows, even if you're only away for five minutes.
Of the 1.2 million burglaries that occur each year, many are avoidable. In fact, nine out of 10 home break-ins could have been prevented if homeowners knew how to burglarproof their homes, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
Securing your home—whether you're home or away for just a few minutes—could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars; the average loss per residential burglary hovers around the $1,300 mark.
Light, time, and noise are a homeowner's greatest weapons in the fight to prevent a home burglary, according to the III.
The BPC and III offer these specific tips to follow before you go on vacation:
- Examine your house from the street and make sure no valuables, like expensive electronics or artwork, is visible from the street. If a passerby can see your belongings, so can criminals.
- Lock and fasten all doors and windows locked and fastened. Doors should have deadbolt locks with a one-inch throw and reinforced strike plate.
- Secure sliding glass doors. Place a metal rod or piece of plywood in the track to prevent an intruder from forcing the door open.
- Always lock the door to your attached garage.
- Make it appear that you're home - use timers on lights, radios, and televisions.
- Keep the perimeter of your home well lighted. You can do this by installing low-voltage outdoor lighting.
- Never leave clues that you are away. Ask a neighbor to collect your mail and newspapers—or ask for them to be held. You may also want to ask a neighbor to park in your driveway so it appears someone is home.
- Keep some shades and blinds up and curtains open to keep a normal appearance.
- Never leave a message on your answering machine saying you are on vacation.
- Trim the shrubbery near your home's entrance and walkway. This prevents a would-be burglar from hiding in tall, bushy foliage.
- Organize or join a community watch program to protect your neighborhood.
- And, of course, if you have a home security system, make sure it is activated when you leave. The more difficult you make it for the intruder, the less likely he or she will be to pursue forcing their way into your home.
In fact, the III says that if it takes a burglar more than four or five minutes to break into your home, they'll move on to the next one.
In addition, most insurance companies provide 2 to 15 percent discounts for devices that make a home safer - dead-bolt locks, window grates, bars and smoke/fire/burglar alarms.

Published 7:00 pm, Monday, March 10, 2008
A judge will consider whether jurors should hear allegations that a man accused of burning his infant daughter in a microwave had sex in an interrogation room after being arrested.
Joshua Mauldin, 20, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to a charge of injury to a child, which carries a sentence of from five to 99 years in prison. Mauldin is accused of placing 2-month-old Ana in a microwave for 10 to 20 seconds on May 10.
Prosecutors allege Mauldin had sex with his wife, Eva, in an interrogation room of the Galveston County Jail days after authorities accused him of hurting his daughter.
Mauldin's defense attorney denied the accusation and said testing showed DNA on a chair in the room belonged to someone else. During a hearing Monday, attorney Sam Cammack III also said the allegation was legally inadmissible and would unfairly prejudice the jury.
State District Court Judge Susan Criss asked lawyers in the case to prepare arguments on whether the jury should know about the alleged sex act.
Mauldin's wife has refused to return from Arkansas to testify and cannot be questioned about the accusation. The defense served Eva Marie Mauldin with a subpoena but the Texas subpoena is not valid in Arkansas, Cammack said.
Mauldin told police that he brought his family to Galveston last year because he was called to preach.
Investigators say Mauldin told them he placed his daughter in a microwave oven at the La Quinta motel, as well as in the hotel room safe and refrigerator.
Ana required at least two skin grafts after suffering burns on her face and left hand.
Mauldin's parental rights were terminated and his daughter was placed with relatives in Brazos County.
Jury selection in the case was expected to begin Wednesday.

Amauri has thanked Parma for kick-starting his faltering career following his loan move from Juventus.
The previously goal-shy striker scored seven times in 11 League games for the Gialloblu following his 2011 switch.
"I thank the club, President Tommaso Ghirardi and director Pietro Leonardi because they allowed me to get back to playing football," he said. "I'm happy with what I achieved.
"There was a lack of belief towards me in Turin. In January I decided to put myself up for discussion, to join Parma and demonstrate my worth.
"At the end of the day I was proved right."
The Gialloblu have indicated that they will make an attempt to keep the Italian international at the Tardini, but a final decision has yet to be made.
"I'll just have to wait and see," the Brazilian-born forward, 30, noted. "I'm a Juventus player and I'll have to return, but you never know what will occur."

Airport stray may have used staff entry
Page Tools
A 32-year-old man who skipped all security checks at Sydney Airport and attempted to board a Qantas plane without a passport or ticket may have entered the departure area through a staff door.
No charges will be laid against the man, who brought the airport to a standstill on Wednesday when he was discovered in a secure section of the international departures lounge without travel documentation.
It was also alleged the man managed to dodge Customs Service screenings.
A Customs spokesman said there is more than one potential way in before the restricted area.
It is understood airport staff who use the staff channel bypass the customs and immigration checkpoints.
Australian Federal Police arrested the man about 9.30am after Qantas staff apprehended him as he tried to walk around a boarding pass processing machine and board a Los Angeles-bound plane.
He was taken to hospital after telling police he had a medical condition. He was later released.
The security scare meant at least 7000 passengers from 28 international flights had to be taken off aircraft and out of the departure area to re-screened, causing significant delays for most flights.
The chief executive of the airport, Max Moore-Wilton, said yesterday the re-screening of all passengers may have been an over-reaction.
Mr Moore-Wilton told ABC radio that customs procedures at the international terminal may need to be tightened and security measures increased.
A spokeswoman for the federal Department of Transport and Regional Services, which is leading the investigation, said the man at the centre of the breach was screened by X-ray machines, which are the responsibility of the airport's security staff.
She would not comment on how the man reached the screening machines without travel documents or whether he entered through the staff channel.
The security breach - the second at the airport in a week - came as the Transport Workers Union raised concerns over what is says is a lack of appropriate security screening among employees at the airport.
Employees could dodge the ASIO and police screening checks, a spokesman said.

Check out all of our Love with Food reviews and the Food Subscription Box Directory!
Keep Track of Your Subscriptions: Add this box to your subscription list or wishlist!
The box came with this information card, which basically directs you to their website. I have to admit, I liked the old brochures more – you could instantly tell which snacks were vegan, gluten free, etc. Now you have to read the tiny print of the ingredients lists, instead.
There are also usually some coupons for the included products and/or some product literature. There were quite a few this month, including for a free full size bag of Beanitos!
Brothers All Natural Freeze Dried Fruit Crisps: Sliced Fuji Apples (0.18 oz) – Value $1.10
These were pretty standard freeze dried apples. I like the low calories and single ingredient. The Disney imagery doesn't appeal so much to me but I suppose it might do more for people who are parents! (I do kind of object to paying over $1 for something with only 20 calories, though.)
Walker's Pure Butter Shortbread Cookies (1 oz) – Value $0.65
I've had these quite a few times before and they are one of my favorite types of packaged cookies (and I don't honestly like a lot of packaged cookies). There is SO MUCH BUTTER in these. Which is probably why I like them.
Brown and Haley Almond Roca: Buttercrunch Toffee (0.42 oz) – Value $0.63
I feel like I've had this before, too. It is a lovely combination of toffee and chocolate and nut coating so I was happy to receive another one.
Beanitos White Bean Chips in Garden Fresh Salsa (0.7 oz) – Value $0.42
Beanitos White Bean Chips in Sweet Chili & Sour Cream (0.7 oz) – Value $0.42
I'll talk about these together. I do like Beanitos chips, but I get either them or Beanfield's almost every month in a subscription box. I appreciate receiving new flavors (well, mostly, the garden fresh salsa ones were in Vegan Cuts last month). I think the sweet chili and sour cream flavor was my favorite.
One Potato Two Potato Sweet Potato Chips "Plain Jaynes" (2 oz) – Value $1.25
Potato chips are a weakness of mine. I split this bag with my husband because it contained two servings for a total of 300 calories. These were exactly what you would expect from sweet potato chips – a little savory and delicious!
Lundberg Rice Chips in Sea Salt (1.5 oz) – Value $0.77
I'll preface this by saying I love Lundberg rice; it's my preferred brand and I buy it frequently from Whole Foods. But I'm not sold on the texture of these chips; it is too much like cardboard. Unfortunately there is not a whole lot else going for the sea salt flavored ones. Perhaps if you have to eat gluten free, you would have a different opinion.
Dick & Jane Educational Snacks (Presidents, 1 oz x 2 bags) – Value $1.60
These were pretty standard vanilla cookies. I'm not sure how educational they are. My husband ate one bag and says he got more than three Abraham Lincolns. I got all different presidents (including older/more obscure ones like James K. Polk and Martin van Buren) but unless you already knew their names or numbers (I only got Thomas Jefferson because the bottom said "3rd President"), you wouldn't be able to identify them. The pictures and words just weren't very clear.
Westminster Bakers Co. Whole Wheat Snack Crackers (0.8 oz x 2 bags) – Value $1.12
These are only 51% whole wheat; the rest is refined flour. I was able to guess this before looking at the ingredients list because I have eaten almost exclusively whole grain foods (minus subscription box snacks) for years now. Anyway, if you want to incorporate more whole grains into your diet but not go all the way, these would be a good option. I ate them plain by my husband says they work with peanut butter, and I think they would be good in soup, too.
Divina Fig Spread (1.5 oz x 2) – Value $2.40
I thought I had heard of this brand before; turns out I have bought their olives from Whole Foods. It is suggested for use with some savory items (like pizza and sandwiches) but I am sticking to sweeter applications. (Pizza has too many calories for me already, without adding fig spread!)
Annie B's Caramels in Apple Flavor (1 count) – Value $0.50
Annie B's Caramels in Butter Rum Flavor (1 count) – Value $0.50
I love these. You'll usually get some small candies in Love with Food and I am so much more excited about these caramels than I am about the hard candies we usually get. Surprisingly, butter rum was my favorite. I'd buy more of these but it is still in the 80s in Georgia and they would melt if I ordered them right now.
Everly Strawberry Lemonade (0.3 oz x 3 packets) – Value $1.67
This is sugar free, which is great. Love with Food has been kind of full of high sugar items lately and I am trying to reduce my sugar consumption. So it is nice to see something like this. I do like the flavor and it is a nice occasional change-up from the iced Celestial Seasonings tea that I usually keep around for when I want non-caffeinated cold drinks.
Awake Energy Granola Bar "Cinnamon Bun" (1.20 oz) – Value $1.10
This was delicious to me, probably because it was really high in sugar. It had a good texture for an energy/granola bar and also contains B vitamins and caffeine (hence the "energy" part).
Verdict: I calculated a value of about $14.13 for the October 2016 Love with Food Deluxe Box. That is pretty low considering the cost of the subscription, but it could still be worthwhile for you. And you can use the DELUXE10 coupon to save 50% off your first box. Also, the Beanitos coupon this month is worth over $3 since it is good for a full size product at no cost to you (except tax) so that adds value. And don't forget to review the snacks in your box for points. I was able to redeem $60 worth of points recently and Love with Food is pretty generous with the points.
Coming from a value perspective, I think you have to consider this one in terms of some of the extras you get with the subscription in addition to the items from the box. I did like the variety this month; many of the brands and items were new to me.
What do you think of the October 2016 Love with Food box? What's your favorite snack subscription?

My first complete LDD design in the form of a G1 Starscream.
About this creation
I've been tinkering around with LDD the past couple days since I haven't had the ambition to take apart my Lego sets. The result of the first design I followed through on was this recreation of the G1 Starscream. He's based off the Robots in Disguise figure who resides on my desk. In the process I've learned how challending LDD designs can be. For instance, there is no action button or way to differentiate assemblies that slide once they attach and the project is saved. So to get the pictures in both modes I had to 'attach' the legs, take the pic, reload the project without saving and do it again. All the joints are posable and the head turns slightly. They way I built him he should transform without having to remove anything except for the null-ray cannons. The action figure/toy/whatever you want to call it had 'wheels' under the feet in jet mode, along with 'wheels' that fold from the side of the chest. I figured on something like this, that would be silly so they weren't incorporated. There are some other differences as well. This hopefully won't be my last LDD project and one of these days I break my sets and get my fingers dirty with bricks.
Back view of robot mode.
Angled side view. Will he stand? I honestly don't know. He should as he looks balanced and has proper foot support. The only issue I can foresee is the sliding lower legs... There are flat, smooth top pieces inside the lower legs to add more pressure/friction to prevent unwanted movement. You can also see below the knees looks somewhat messed up. That's because of the landing gear...
Closer view of the torso region. Yes, I know the hands aren't much to look at.
Angled aerial view of the top in jet mode.
Front view in jet mode. You can see the open chest cavity where the back half of the cockpit goes in robot mode.
Back view as a jet.
Jet view from above. You can see some of the things I added, being movable horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
Jet bottom view.
Angled view from underneath the jet.
I added a view with the rear landing gear extended. No, there isn't any front gear. Trust me, I tried. There's only a 2*3*2 region under the cockpit available. If I ever do figure it out I think I'll actually buy the design. I checked the price and it's not cheap though. LOL

text: Idioms play a great role in the novel Of Mice and Men. There are various idoms throuhout the story but I'm just going to focus on a couple. Back when the story is taking place the southern farmers had a unique dialect. The would use a statement that can say one thing but would mean another. The usage of idioms was just apart of their nature. George and Lennie are by the campfire and Lennie wants to know why they're not eating supper on the ranch that night. George rolled on his side: " No reason at all for you. I like it here. Tomorra we're gonna go to work. I seen thrashin' macgines on the way down. Thats means we'll be bucking grain bags, bustin' a gut. Tonight I'm gonna lay right here and look up"(Steinbeck 8). Bustin' a gut is an example of an idiom. This particular idiom mean to work extreamly hard. An other example of and idiom is when Lennie once again asked George to tell that story about the farm, after George made him get rid of the mouse. George said, " Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong to no place. They come to a ranch an' work up a stake and they go inta town and blow their stake, and the first thing you know they're poundin' their tail on some other ranch. They ain't got nothing to look ahead to"(Steinbeck 13-14). The first idiom in this quote, work up a stake, means to make some money, while blow their stake means to spend all of their money. Idoms are really important to undertand them in this novel. The critic, Bryant Wyatt, indirectly explains how idioms is apart of their lives back then: " It is ironic, therefore, that although Lennie is debased throughout the literal account, so many of the positive values with which the book is concerned should take their origin with him, as will be examined presently in greater detail"(Wyatt). At the end of the quote is what I mostly focused on. Idioms have to be examined in greater detail to understand the meaning completely. In the novel idioms are everywhere. So take the time to read Of Mice and Men and understand the true idiom's meanings.
