Writing from Nowhere
Write, they say?
What? I ask
So many clusters of ideas and promises
Floating in my head
Why pass them to my fingers?
The extentions of me that waiver with pen
that glaze over the keyboard with tendency
Perhaps it is time to release the cloistered images
Propel them out to the nothingness from which they came
Letting new life and fantasies birth
in my
old hands
and old frames of reference
Today I write
About what ? they ask
About nothing, I say
The nothingness that permeates creation

Steuben's, the bar/restaurant at 523 East 17th Avenue that opened at 11 a.m. yesterday, will stay open until 3 p.m. today -- when its staff will take a well-deserved rest after 28 hours of continuous service.
We stopped by shortly after 5 p.m. New Year's Eve, for a celebration-cushioning green chile cheeseburger, the best in town. The staff was juggling a line out the door and an hour-long wait-list to eat inside (fortunately, the weather was balmy enough that people could be seated on the patio with no waiting -- ah, Denver!), while figuring out how to comply with state liquor laws come 2 a.m., when the bar had to shut down if the restaurant portion was to stay open.
Steuben's got the bar back open at 7 a.m. today, though, so hurry over for chicken and waffles and a Figgy's Manhattan -- crowned this year's Mile High Holiday cocktail.
And continue celebrating the new year -- and contributing to the scene's trickle-down economy -- by sampling other liquid assets at neighborhood joints around town.

Going Global Live: Post Show Review
On the 16 & 17 November 2017, London's Olympia played host to Going Global Live; Europe's number one event geared towards UK-based companies looking to sell their products or services internationally. It's co-located with The Foreign Direct Investment Expo which is for companies who need to find the best location to relocate their business (or part of their business).
Record Breaking Attendance
Going Global Live welcomed a staggering 3,545 visitors - the show's highest EVER recorded attendance - through the doors, over two frenetic days. Attendees were queuing around the block to get in on Thursday morning and remained busy across both days of the event.
It wasn't just the quantity of our visitors that was impressive. Among our attendees were heads of E-Commerce, heads of international sales, export managers and international trade advisors, as well as representatives from international enterprises such as Marks & Spencer, Financial Times, London Stock Exchange and Uber. Our visitors were only a part of what made November's instalment of this event our most successful showcase to date.
Both shows address the needs of companies who are starting to export for the first time, entering new markets, or setting up overseas operations. Visitors needed help with many issues, ranging from advice on the right market entry strategy through to getting products from A to B, and everything in between – tax advice, how to make sure they are paid on time, and more.
To answer these worries, the Going Global Live team managed to acquire a world-class lineup of over 60 suppliers, including BFC Bank Ltd. They are one of UK's leading challenger banks helping SMEs and Payment Service Providers (PSPs) trade internationally. At the show they exhibited a plethora of their company's most in-demand services, such as their international payment solutions, multi-currency accounts and wholesale currency services.
Also exhibiting at the show were Maupard Fiduciaire, which are an international business advisory and accounting firm that manages the growth of startups and small-sized business in one of Europe's strongest economies, France. Whilst at the show they provided our visitors with a showcase of their tax and accountancy services development advice and business support.
To complement the conversations taking place on the trade show floor, visitors were also able to take advantage of the 80 seminars presented by some of the world's leading experts in international trade.
Quick Summary
Across both days, knowledge and inspiration was passed on by decision-makers and thought-leaders including founder of Young American Expat Richie Santosdiaz. Attendees who were lucky enough to secure themselves a seat - or even a place to stand - were given sought-after tips on how to do business with the world's largest economy, the USA.
Gonçalo de Vasconcelos - who has been considered one of the top 40 most influential people in fintech in Europe - was another standout speaker at the show. The fact that there were no seats left didn't deter visitors away; many attendees resorted to standing outside his theatre in order to get a glimpse of the CEO and co-founder of SyndicateRoom's game-changing seminar. All our visitors left with a clearer understanding of how British companies can expand into Europe pre and post-Brexit.
Ready for May 2018
Simon Chicken, Event Director, commented: "The number of attendees recorded across the two days exceeded our high expectations and really sets a precedent for Going Global events in the future."

The next event takes place at ExCeL, London on May 16th & 17th 2018

Hi loves! Valentine's Day is tomorrow and I'm usually not a 'last minute' type of gal but I've spent the last five days in bed…I've been so sick! Flu B + bronchitis ? But I'll spare you the painful details and chat about cuter stuff like V-Day ? Some love the holiday, others can't stand it – whatever your opinion, I like to think of it as a nationally recognized day to spread more love and kindness to everyone. With all the roses, chocolates and valentine's, it's easy to get caught up in the silly stuff. Whether the day gives you the excuse to love on your hubby a little extra, plan a fun day date with your best girls, buy your mom flowers, take the little people in your life (nieces, nephews, children) to overload on cupcakes, pay for the persons coffee behind you at Starbucks or treat yourself to a massage then let's take it and celebrate it. It's usually the little things that make us feel the most loved anyways, right?!
Although I am little late to the party I'm sharing some gift ideas (it's never too late for gifts!) + a couple simple date night ideas below!
I've been wanting this silk pillow case for months now. It's anti-aging, anti-sleep crease and anti-bed head! Sounds like a dream.
This ring is definitely a splurge but such a gorgeous piece to add to your every jewelry collection.
A new vanity organizer is always so nice. I also love the idea of using this candle as a make up brush holder once it's burned out!
This sweatshirt basically has my name on it. Wine lover!
I've been loving denim jackets styled on guys lately. So good for spring! This one is only $50.
You totally can't go wrong with wireless headphones and a new pair of Nikes for your man.
Heard such good things about the Art of Shaving kits. Something most guys wouldn't pick up for themselves!
I am all for the simple date nights or the dates that weren't really planned in the first place. You don't need to buy 400 roses and a million candles to show your love! Simply being together (with the phones off) is so important! Here are a few easy ideas…
– Cook dinner together! Something you've never made before (don't worry about calories today, friends!)
– Hit your favorite happy hour then get a couples massage
– Do something for others together. Make a meal for someone, volunteer at church or donate your time at a shelter or hospital
– Go for a hike or a quick overnight trip to your favorite nearby destination
– Start a book together. Peter and I are currently reading "The 5 Love Languages" and "Purpose Driven Life". Reading together has been so powerful for us!
I hope you babes have a wonderful Valentine's Day! Remember to cherish all the beautiful moments in life today and everyday ? Thank you so much for stopping by! Xoxox.

- Oral history with Shafi Refai, 2016 March 13.
- Author:

- Author (no Collectors):
- Refai, Shafi, 1942-, Saleem, Sobia, Saleem, Sobia, and Saleem, Sobia
- Description:
- Mr. Shafi Refai was born on May 27th, 1942 in Surat, Gujarat, India. His ancestors hail from the region of Iraq. In the 18th century, the migrated towards the South Asian Subcontinent, and since then, his family has always been in the Gujarat region—until some of them more recently migrated to the United States. Mr. Refai shares that his ancestors may have migrated to the Subcontinent because under the Mughal Empire, the region was a melting pot for different types of people. Once Mr. Refai's family migrated to India, they established the Refai Sufi Order based on tasawwuf, or spirituality rather than mere physical rituals and practice. His family can trace 40 generations of their forefathers directly back to the Prophet Muhammad; they keep this history of the names of their links to the Prophet within their family and they carry it within their historical family name: Syed. Mr. Refai's family received the name from their famous 11th century Sufi forefather: Ahmed Kabir Rifai. Ahmed ar-Rifai was a humble man, despite his wealth, and he was known for founding the Refai Sufi Order in present-day Iraq.Mr. Refai's paternal grandfather's untimely death is what made his own childhood more than of a prince than of a Sufi scholar. Mr. Refai's grandfather, the household patriarch, was a Sufi leader and scholar. In fact, Mr. Refai's home was a Sufi khanqa, a school of sorts for lay people; however, Mr. Refai's grandfather passed away when his son, Mr. Refai's father, was only five years old. After the death of his father, Mr. Refai's father was raised by his grandmother. Mr. Refai's great-grandmother was the daughter of the navaab, the Muslim king, of Surat, Gujarat. Because of his father's upbringing in a navaab house, Mr. Refai's own childhood was spent playing with Surat's royalty—his cousins and second cousins—when the navaab at the time would visit their family. Mr. Refai's maternal grandfather also had links to royalty: he was the secretary of the maharaja, the Hindu king, of Baroda (present-day Vadoda). His mother's side of the family were Syeds and mirs. Mr. Refai shares that when the maharaja of Baroda wanted to marry the maharaja of Maysur's daughter, he had Mr. Refai's maternal grandfather send the proposal to the family.Mr. Refai grew up in a joint family with his parents and his three siblings as well as his uncles and aunties. The men generally worked outside the home while the ladies took care of the housekeeping. Mr. Refai is the oldest son in his family; he has an older sister, and two younger brothers and a younger sister. Because of their shared home, Mr. Refai grew up in a warm, close-knit family environment. He shares that even though they were from Gujarat, Mr. Refai's family was Urdu speaking at home. The children learned several languages at school: Urdu, their native language; Gujurat, the state language; Hindi, the national language; English, the global/colonial language; and their choice of Persian or Sanskrit, traditional/historical languages. Mr. Refai shared that he and his siblings took Persian because when their family migrated from Iraq, they transitioned from Arabic to Persian before eventually speaking Urdu. He discovered this while examining the books that his family kept with them throughout the years, although he confesses that many of them are now lost, disintegrated due to bookworms, or indecipherable because no one in his family speaks that level of Arabic. As a young man, Mr. Refai especially enjoyed the Urdu poetry of Iqbal and Ghalib.As a child, Mr. Refai would enjoy many activities and holidays with his friends, family, and family friends. As a young man, for example, he particularly enjoyed played cricket outside their home. He would occasionally visit a few mosques with his family for daily prayers and weekly Friday prayers. Sometimes, his family would visit Doomas, a seaside city eight miles from their home where they would enjoy the water and play in the side. Eid was Mr. Refai's favorite holiday. On this far, Mr. Refai's family would make biryani, goat curry, tikka, and seekh. Family and friends would visit their home to share in the food and festivities. The children received small cash presents. Another holiday Mr. Refai enjoyed celebrating as a child in India, although he shares that he hasn't celebrated it since arriving to the U.S. in '71, is Diwali. On this celebrative day marking the Hindu new year, firecrackers were lit, and people enjoyed themselves. Mr. Refai would visit his grandfather's Hindu friends with him on Diwali; they would be given firecrackers to light and sweets to consume. Surat was actually known for its sweets like ghaani and barfi. Mr. Refai also loved the kite-flying holiday of Utraaon on January 14th, when the city would be filled with young and old flying kites. Movies though, Mr. Refai explains, were the main source of entertainment for his family and young people in those days, and his family loved going to the cinema.Mr. Refai's family home was rather large. Besides the khanqa, the lay people's Sufi school, Mr. Refai's family's grounds also included a family cemetery. Near their home was the River Tapti, although the received water from a pipe based water supply system. Sometimes, they had to collect water in an underwater tank for emergency purposes, just in case the pipes were blocked or clogged. Mr. Refai's family home itself had huge courtyards; the home really consisted of four home together, so that each of Mr. Refai's paternal grandfather's sons had their own home. For transportation, Mr. Refai's family either used the French car that his father bought or the Buick that his grandfather would later purchase. Other times, they used their horse and tonga to get places. At one time, all the people who lived in the home and at the khanqa kept up the tradition of preserving the Refai Sufi Order and school in India; however, Mr. Refai explains, as time when on, people lost touch with being fulltime Sufis. More and more people left home to work and even went abroad, like him. These days, Mr. Refai cherishes the rituals of rational thought more than religious dogma.In those days, Surat was a small town of only 250,000, but these days Mr. Refai says, the city has changed and grown to a bustling city of five million. Before the Partition, Mr. Refai's grandfather had been interested in politics, so he had gone over to a small town near by, Randair, where he served as their mayor, but these days, Randair has been incorporated into the larger Surat. Most people in Surat followed the Gregorian calendar, but at home, people might also follow their own religious or ethnic calendar, much in the way that Mr. Refai's family followed the Hijri Islamic calendar in their homes. They used this calendar to mark and celebrate people's birthdates. For their birthdays, Mr. Refai's family would get people cake, flowers, money, and gifts. Surat was a modern enough town with electricity and movie houses. Seller would go through the streets and sells fruits, vegetables, chocolates, and biscuits. The majority Hindu town had good interfaith relations before and after the Partition. For example, the school that Mr. Refai attended with Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim boys began as a madrasa school in a mosque until it eventually became its own entity and transformed into a government sponsored school.In Mr. Refai's childhood home, the food that didn't come from the markets and mundis came from his grandfather's farms. Mr. Refai's grandfather owned quite a great deal of land and several properties. He would lease them out to farmers and others, but he also kept some farmland for himself. He particularly enjoyed growing mangos, although he also grew javaar, a grain. Mr. Refai's family no longer owns these lands though because his grandfather has long since sold them and given up the farms with the grains and fruit that would be directly delivered to their home. In fact, these fresh and homemade traditional foods are what Mr. Refai revealed that he missed most when he first came to the United States; although these days, they are easily accessible.The Partition was something that Mr. Refai and his family barely noticed. As a child of five, the only strong memory or impression he has from during those years is that his grandfather and his father would sit with friends close to the radio and would listen to news about the Partition and the split that would soon take place in the South Asian Subcontinent. Mr. Refai isn't aware of any political movements, social upheaval, or chaos in his area of the Gujarat at that time. He does remember that Ghandhi assassination came as a bit of a shock to everyone at his school.Much has changed since the Partition for Surat and for Mr. Refai as well. Surat no longer has a navaab. All of the children in his immediate and extended family went abroad to the U.K. and the U.S. to study, and so they no longer maintain the old kingdom. As he grew older, Mr. Refai knew that he wanted to go to a country that was more based in rationalism and thought than religion and tradition. After studying civil engineering in India, Mr. Refai applied for an American visa and waited. During this time, he married and moved to Dubai for work, but soon, his visa was accepted, and he left his job in Dubai for San Francisco, where his wife soon joined him as well.These days, Mr. Refai works as a civil engineer for the City of Oakland, California; when he's not working, he enjoys reading books in history, politics, and religion—or texts that intersect these three areas. He also enjoys attending events sponsored by the Urdu Academy in the Bay Area, where they hold mushairas, or poetry events focusing on a single poet, their life, and their poetry. He still enjoys the poets from his youth: Ghalib, Iqbal, and Mir.Mr. Refai's philosophy, in the words of one he admires, is that "no single people have a monopoly on truth—it is spread everywhere." Although, Mr. Refai reflects, the goal of the Partition for some was to unite the Muslims into one country, they are now instead divided amongst three countries in the Subcontinent: Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Mr. Refai believes that Jinnah himself did not expect that those in power would agree to divide India into two countries; as Mr. Refai sees it, Jinnah simply approached Parliament at the time to ask for rights for Muslims in the new nation that was to be rather than to create a separate nation. Mr. Refai leaves future generations with the following: "We should try to rationalize the world and follow it—not towards our own self-interested but for the interest of all of humanity. […] Most problems in the world today are not God-made, but man-made, and them come from our own selfishness."

- Title:
- Oral history with Jaya Mehta, 2015 December 16.

- Mehta, Jaya, 1933- and Saleem, Sobia
- Author (no Collectors):
- Mehta, Jaya, 1933-, Saleem, Sobia, Saleem, Sobia, and Saleem, Sobia
- Description:
- Mrs. Jaya Mehta, nee Jaya Patel, was born in Vadodara, now known as Baroda, India on May 15th, 1933. Because her father was a businessman, her family traveled quite a bit with him between places likes Baroda, Bombay, and even East Africa, where Mrs. Mehta spent a few years of her childhood. Mainly, however, her family lived in Bombay. Hers was a unique family: they had seven siblings from three different mothers. Her father's first wife had had four children before passing away in childbirth; then her father remarried, but his second wife passed away during the birth of their first child. Mrs. Mehta's mother had two children and remained the mother for the youngest three-four children. Mrs. Mehta's elder half sisters were already married by this time, and one had moved away from their family in Bombay to live in Baroda with her husband. Mrs. Mehta's siblings got along so well with each other—despite their differences in mothers—that they became a role model family for her Gujarati community in Bombay.Mrs. Mehta cannot speak of her childhood without speaking fondly of her father, Mr. Somabhai Patel. When asked how it was that her various siblings got along so well with each other, without hesitating Mrs. Patel credits her father, in her words the man who helped shaped who she is today. He was a very commensensical and practical man. Every evening, he made sure the whole family had dinner together, and every weekend, he also made sure they went to a drive together either to the beach, which was not so crowded in those days, or to their farmlands, 11,000 acres of primarily cotton. Mr. Patel stressed the importance of an education to both his sons and his daughters, supporting two of his daughters in becoming practicing doctors. The environment in the Patel house was, also quite uniquely, one of morals but not religion, something unheard of in those days. However, because Mr. Patel was well-respected within their community, no one bothered him in hs ways, even when most of his children had small civil ceremonies rather than grand religious weddings. Mr. Patel also instilled a sense of independence and health in his children, telling them that even if they wanted a cup of water, they should fetch it themselves, and they shouldn't eat street food, but fruits with thick skins only when purchasing food on the street.Mrs. Mehta herself was not so fond of studying and reading, so one summer, she took a vacation with her sister and Mr. and Mrs. Sevenoaks to Europe by sea to various countries like the United Kingdom and Austria, among others. She speaks of how, even at 19, she would get into amusement parks as a child because of her thin figure—however, she also speaks of how she would get carded when they went to an over-18-only place and would have to carry her passport accordingly. Mrs. Mehta's hair was a incredibly long when she was young and even into her middle age—it would near reach the ground! She would turn heads wherever she went and catch people's attention. One time on her European trip, when they were trying to cross the border, the two guards were arguing amongst each other before they approached her in the vehicle. "We can't decide," they said to her and her sister, "if you two are twins!" They couldn't believe it! Mrs. Mehta's sister's hair also cascaded down at least to her knees. The Sevenoaks were kind to the girls, making sure to explain local customs to them, like kissing on the hands as a form of greeting, so that they wouldn't be alarmed as they passed through different countries, like Austria.During the time of the Partition, Mrs. Mehta says that she herself was not very involved. Her father had a strict rule—education first, everything else after. Thus some of the younger Patel siblings, the students in her family, were even sent away from Bombay to Baroda by her father during that tumultous time to continue studing. Mrs. Mehta recalls though that her elder sisters, who were married and had already completed their studies, were somewhat involved as citizens and activists in the Partition. Following the news and advice of the Indian National Congress, they bought a spinning wheel to spin their yarn and threads to make their own clothing, like Gandhiji was encouraging people to do. They would make themselves simple clothes and wear them until they were tattered all in an effort to make sure they didn't purchase the British's mechanically produced cloth. Her sisters would also attend some of the protests and rallies. A few of those, Mrs. Mehta remembers, were right next to their home. The Britsh soldiers and militia would come and beat the legs of those who were injured quite badly. She remembers her father would open their home up to these injured rally and protest attendees and that her family would tend to them and care for them.Bombay had always been a cosmopolitan city and would always be one, according to Mrs. Mehta, so she didn't feel that it changed very much after the Partition. The Sindhi population in the city increased, and with them, they brought their love for education and built universities around the city. They were also very good embroidery- men and women, and hence with the influx of their populations, Bombay's embroidered and designed clothing and styles boomed. All in all, Mrs. Mehta says, the changes were small, but whoever migrated to the big city brought with them all the positives and good things about their culture and shared them with the city and its inhabitants.Bombay is where Mrs. Mehta has spent the majority of her life. As a child, she enjoyed attending the Kite Flying Festival on the 14th of January where the children would fly kites and eat sweets, like peanut and sesame brittle. She also loved celebrating Garba with her Gujarati community in Bombay. During Garba, Mrs. Mehta would be able to sing, a passion which naturally ignited in her from the tender age of four, and dance dandian, a two-stick spinning dance style; she also loved the little gifts of metal utensils they would receive at the event. Bombay was where Mrs. Mehta dated her husband for six years; it's where she eventually married her husband; it's where she sang on the radio and modeled saris; it's where she had a her daughter; it's where she decided to learn to sing formally by moving to Baroda to attending a five-year singing program; and it's where she finally decided, after her husband passed, that she would give up her life in India to move to America to be with her daughter in 2003.However, Mrs. Mehta has not slowed down one bit since her move to the States. Because of the sense of independence her father instilled in her, she's learned to adapt, begin new projects, and never be bored. These days, Mrs. Mehta is still quite active: she drives herself, cooks vegetarian meals for her family four days a week, gives the seniors at the India Community Center singing lessons, has a weekly bridge troupe, puts on fundraising Bollywood dance numbers in which she's often center stage, and is working to collect various memories and stories in to compile her family's history. Of course, she also manages to share her love with her daugher and two grandchildren.

Are you looking for a nice outdoor cooking idea for your backyard? Why not build a fire pit grill!
There are many great reasons to build a fire pit grill – all of them good that you can't go wrong with any of it.
First, is that there's simply something about fire pit grills that make outdoor cooking more exciting and fun. It's more satisfying to cook the perfect food with a fire pit grill than a grilling appliance. We're sure many of you will agree with us on this. ;)
Second is that most of them basically allow for a 2-in1 function. You can cook on it or simply use it for outdoor heating while you relax in your backyard!
We also like the fact that it's perfect for any backyard – big or small. Aside from the 2-in-1 function we've just mentioned, you can have one with any size that you want. You can even decide if it would be portable or fixed to a certain spot.
It's easy to build and as well as remove it, should you plan to renovate your outdoor area in the future.
Think your backyard could use a fire pit grill? Then have a look at our collection of ideas below and be inspired to build your own!

If you (like I) get frustrated when you try to pull out a sheet of aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or waxed paper and the roll goes flying out causing you to have to "re-roll" the stuff, check this out.
Some (but not all) of these packages actually have little 'punch in' tabs on the ends that will hold the rolls in place! All these years and I never knew that!
I noticed one of mine didn't have that option, so I used my steak knife and cut a 3 sided box shape. Leave one side uncut to allow you to push the square into the box to hold the roll. It worked!
Source: My daughter noticed it~
Check the ends of your aluminum foil boxes for a handy little circle or triangle. If you punch it in it will hold the roll in the box and prevent it from popping out when you rip off a piece. I never noticed it before and had to check it out. Sure enough it's there!
By Marlene from Billerica, MA
Did you ever notice that aluminum foil is shinier on one side than it is on the other? When cooking with foil (for example, wrapping potatoes for baking), be sure to wrap or cover the item dull side out - shiny side out will reflect the heat rather than absorb it, and it will take longer to cook.
By Becki in Indiana
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
How often are we frustrated when the roll of foil or plastic wrap pops out of the box when we are using it causing much frustration and waste of the product and time? You know what I am talking about. ;-)
Go ahead, go to the kitchen and check. If you're like myself, and most likely the majority of others, your first thought will be, "How come no one ever told me about this before and why is it I never noticed until now!" The next thing you'll do is 'press the tabs' to test it.
On each end of the box of aluminum foil or plastic wrap, generic or not, it will say "Press here to lock tab." Press them both and you will never have the roll of foil or plastic wrap popping out of the box again. :-)
By Deeli from Richland, WA
I immediately went to the kitchen drawer and pressed all the tabs on the rolls. A big Mahalo Nui Loa to you. (05/16/2008)
Guess it's cause we never read the directions! *smile*
Thanks for the tip! (05/16/2008)
By Cyinda
I laughed when I read this because I can't tell you how many rolls of foil and cling wrap I bought before I noticed the tabs on the boxes a few months back! As some one said it must be the fact that no one ever reads directions anymore! (05/17/2008)
By tracey
I received an email about this, and immediately looked in my drawer to lock my tabs. Then, forwarded the info to all my friends. I assumed I had been missing this for years. Cleaned out the camping box and found an old roll of alum. foil, probably 10 years old. NO locking tabs! So, now I don't feel like I've missed this forever :) (05/18/2008)
By Mary
Wow! I feel so dumb. Thanks for a great tip,
Out of curiousity I contacted Reynolds to see just how long the locking tabs have been on foil boxes . Here's the response:
"Thank you for your inquiry regarding Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil.
In our continuing efforts to meet the needs of our consumers, our cartons have end locks to hold the rolls in place. This feature was added in 1996. Press in the perforated tabs on each end of the carton before your first use.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Reynolds Consumer Response
By Deeli
Good God! Here I am 63 years old! And never knew that! Thanks so much!
Cut-Rite Wax Paper doesn't have tabs though. (05/19/2008)
This must be a new thing going around. I have received this no less then 5 times in the last 2 weeks! I am 61 years old, and have NEVER heard this before! No one else that I know of has ever heard it before either, so now we all will know! Thanks! (05/19/2008)
By Shirley
I never had a problem with the roll jumping out of the box. I did try the tabs but had more problems. At times, it was harder to pull out when I used them. (05/20/2008)
By Jean
LOL great tip and I am wondering why I never saw that before either. (05/20/2008)
By Lynn
DUH! I laughed so hard when I read the post and responses to date. Now I don't feel QUITE as dumb. The really bad part is that I used to know about the tabs but just forgot when I bought the next roll! Sometimes I feel like I'm getting more dense the older I get (both physically and mentally)! Thanks for the reminder! ;0) (05/20/2008)
By Leah
Wow, never realized this before and you'd think it would have been obvious! lol! Thanx! (05/23/2008)
By Heather
A friend sent me this last week. Like everyone else here, I to got up to check, sure enough. I forward to my e-pals ages 18-84. None knew, LOL. (05/31/2008)
By Keeper
Yup, ran to the kitchen drawer and sure enough even the generic store brand has the tabs AND IT WORKS. Thanks for passing this along. Who knew? HAHA (07/20/2008)
You press them in once, they lock in place. (02/25/2009)
By Barb
For Tom, you most likely have pushed the tabs in too far with force which causes the roll to 'stick' ;-) Just take a tooth pick and loosen the punched in cardboard a bit ;-) (02/26/2009)
By Deeli
Well meme, I beat you. I am 72 and never knew this! I can just hear my hubby saying " I am always telling you, READ the instructions"! (02/26/2009)

(wrecks for specific region of state)
Another search option is to type "NC." for `Land' search option.
How accurate are the Lat. and Long. numbers?
I do wreck fishing and diving. Capt. P.S. (NY)
The accuracy depends on the source reference. Some references provide complete lat/longs down to the seconds while others only provide a geographic site. For example, "1.2 miles NNE. of Montauk Point". In these cases, the approximate latitude and longitude have been determined and logged for search purposes. Quoted coordinates are represented by numbers followed with "." (period), or 6 numbers for a latitude and 7 numbers for a longitude. For example, 410759 (41 = degrees, 07 = minutes, 59 = seconds) and longitude 0714734 (071 = degrees). Each wreck record provides a list of references.

It's coming up to the 1-year anniversary of my last cup of coffee (I never planned it, so I didn't note the date exactly), so I wanted to share some thoughts about my experience.
Let's start with background – I've been drinking several cups of coffee daily since my teens. Then we got a coffee machine at work. I think 6-10 cups a day would be a reasonable estimate of my intake just over a year ago. I'd never really thought about how much I drank, though a few years ago I started switching to decaf after 6pm, so that I could get to sleep before the new day began.
Then one fateful day, the coffee machine at work ran out of milk. I thought to myself, "let's see if I can go without coffee for a day".
That night, around 9.30pm, I was sat in front of the computer when all of a sudden my shoulders locked up and I got a pounding headache. I switched off the PC, curled up in bed and slept like the dead.
Having such a strong reaction really shook me up, and I decided to extend the experiment and see what happened.
For the next two weeks, I was incapable of staying awake past 10pm – I literally crawled into bed and was out like a light. I didn't feel hugely refreshed, but I was getting more sleep than I'd had in years, and I started feeling better, little by little.
Over the next couple of months, as I slowly adjusted to my new rhythms, I was able to stay up later, but also I was able to wake up earlier without feeling dog-tired.
Now, I can't lie to you and say I have boundless energy and need to sleep for only 30 minutes a night – I like a lie-in as much as anyone – but I do feel more energetic, and I'm doing a lot more with my time nowadays. I can't attribute it all to giving up coffee, but it was certainly the catalyst for many other lifestyle changes.
I haven't cut out caffeine entirely – I've grown to really enjoy tea – but I went without any caffeine at all for a few days recently, and it had no effect at all. The addiction is gone and if I have my way it's never coming back.

two habits, to be precise – one's facebook, and the other alcohol. these will probably be temporary departures. the first is because i need to buckle down and get my arse started on packing. i don't think i'll be packing the island of singapore over to boston, but i should start early, because – 1) how much i pack over may not be up to my discretion, since my parents will be traveling with me, and they might connive otherwise; 2) you never know what horrible surprises might be sprung upon you at the last minute, and it's always good to leave yourself some breathing space; and 3) i'm planning to pack some magic cards over and i need to decide which binder and which decks i'm gonna bring over. now that i've been off facebook for, admittedly, only 2 days, i'm finding myself with so much more time to fawn over magic cards/ read gaddis or chabon or igarashi/ exercise… much to my merriment i have confirmed the existence of life beyond hitting facebook and showing other people you have a life. not sure how long this is going to last, and i have told some people i will come back to facebook once i get used to boston, but there you go.
the second habit – you know substance abuse? some people might say i'm the most incorrigible alcoholic they know, but i think that's still not enough to say with certainty that i'm a drinker to the point of abuse… but i think, if i don't check myself, i'll find myself there someday. if you keep to your measure that's all good, but sometimes i find myself drinking just for the sake of it, at first seeking a high, but after that seeking nothing except the drowsy release that transmogrifies my guilt into a laughing subconscious and leaves me utterly damned when i next come to my senses.
that has to go. when i first started (cue the laughter – i don't know when that is), it was partially because of me being fundamentally uncomfortable socialising. i know that sounds like a stretch since i talk loudest and longest at social events, but it's dutch courage, really. alcohol is what i go to when i want bravado, wit and the silliness to kill silences with one trite or stupid comment or another. and of course, if it's all of us drinking, it's the good ol' social lubricant theory. alcohol made conversation that much more fun. we could pretend not to care if someone made a silly comment, or we could pretend our comment was not silly, through the hazy camaraderie we could laugh about something up to a point. and at home, if still drunk, i could write, stare at the result, and say 'it's not bad', and hit the post button before it was too late to redeem myself. but now, alcohol as the stream of my consciousness is a raging, surging river. it's capsized the boat, it stops me cold, it cuts my arguments into shreds, it reduces my words to primal sounds. i try to make new conversation and fail, and so i fall back on my old yarns, about moscow and japan when i'm in singapore, and about tohoku and singapore when i'm in tokyo. it's slick if you've heard it for the first time. after all, those stories go through telling and retelling, and after a while they're polished beyond recognition. but nowhere in that kind of conversation do you see a lucid mind; it's just bobbing about with what is the mental equivalent of a life float. and when you do try to muster some kind of conversation, most likely in response to something interesting you hear from your friends, you can't rise to the occasion. it's just a lack of knowledge and a slow instinct lending itself to awkward responses, and you save the situation by launching into your spiel again.
and so drinking – it's got to give, at least for now (i can hear some of my closest friends sniggering in the background – 'how long will that be? last you did it it didn't last a week'. well, i don't know – for as long as it takes for me to get used to the idea of drinking a beer or two and stopping there, without getting irritated or thirsty or both). one day i will go, bottle in hand, to the ball game, or i'll be nursing it in the company of good friends, and i won't feel the need to spend half my time spinning the latest yarn and the other half gulping liquid fire. i'll be at ease with myself. mightn't be comfortable with the fact that i'm still prone to silly gaffes and stupid responses, but you know, won't feel the need to atone for it. perhaps facebook and alcohol share something in that they're stages for me to do my song-and-dance routine, a smile and a wave, a retiring behind the curtains only to come out again seeking the next encore. that's probably an intensely stupid analogy. but the message remains the same: i'm breaking the habit.

CARE Prepares for Strongest Typhoon to Hit the Philippines this Year
CARE Prepares for Strongest Typhoon to Hit the Philippines this Year
Publication info
MANILA (September 12, 2018) - Typhoon Mangkhut (locally known as Ompong), the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines this year, continues to intensify. The Hawaii-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) has classified Mangkhut into a super typhoon. It is currently equivalent to a category 5 Atlantic hurricane, with winds of at least 157 miles per hour.
Today, as of 11 am (Philippine time), Mangkhut was already 740 miles northeast of Guiuan in the eastern tip of the country's Samar island, moving west steadily. The typhoon is expected to hit the northern part of Luzon, the country's largest, most populated island, and may cross the island province of Batanes and Cagayan areas towards the end of the week.
"This is very unfortunate for the people of northern Luzon who experienced the wrath of relatively strong typhoons since 2016," says David Gazashvili, CARE's country director in the Philippines. "Our teams will be ready to conduct rapid assessments once the typhoon hits. We are prepared to respond if needed." Local authorities warn people to prepare for storm surges in coastal communities, and landslides and flashfloods in upland and low-lying areas. Its powerful winds can uproot trees and topple electric posts.
CARE is closely monitoring the track of Mangkhut, and coordinating with its partner Cagayan Valley Disaster Response Center & Cordillera Disaster Response and Development Services. CARE previously responded to Typhoon Haima (Lawin) that devastated Cagayan and Kalinga provinces in October 2016.
CARE has worked in the Philippines since 1949, providing emergency relief when disaster strikes and helping communities prepare for disasters. CARE's past responses in the Philippines have included typhoon Haiyan in 2013, Hagupit in 2014, Koppu and Melor in 2015, and Haima in 2016.
About CARE:
Founded in 1945, CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE has more than seven decades of experience helping people prepare for disasters, providing lifesaving assistance when a crisis hits, and helping communities recover after the emergency has passed. CARE places special focus on women and children who are often disproportionately affected by disasters. Last year, CARE worked in 94 countries to reach 80 million people, including more than 11 million through emergency response and humanitarian aid.
CARE has been providing aid in Syria since 2014, and has reached more than 3 million people to date. Our work is focused on food security, livelihoods, shelter, water and sanitation, and psychosocial support for people in crisis. CARE also works in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey with Syrian refugees and host communities.

Our yard needs some TLC
Last year was a pretty rough one for the backyard. Between the roof tear off, pretty much constant workers traipsing across the lawn, Steve and I refinishing woodwork on it, and digging a trench for the electrical wire, it really took a beating.
I have never liked our yard in the winter because almost everything in it is dead. We need more evergreens and hopefully by fall we can add some.
We are planning to add a row of a variety of upright evergreens on the right side of the yard along the fence that you can't really see in this photo.
I am happy that the picea orientalis pine tree has recovered somewhat from the drought in 2005. The lawn is SAD though.
Probably the first project we are going to tackle this Spring, is replacing our falling apart door to the garage. The frame needs to be rebuilt and we want to get a door with a small window so we can see if the garage is open.
In this photo from July 2005, you can see the fence where we will plant the row of evergreens. You can also see that the yard looked a bit better then before the construction chaos.

You have my sympathy in your struggle to develop your lawn.
My mother has a similar problem with hers. When she bought her suburban place in 1971, I suggested she send a soil sample to the USDA so we could get the place declared a disaster area and get funds (not entirely joking). She had a lawn loaded with lovely trees, and very poor excavation soil that the previous owner had never done anything to build up.
Since then, she has gone to "groundcover" type vines that look great and are easy to deal with. They give the property a lush "English Garden" look, unfussy yet always pretty well-groomed. They are also helping the soil over time. Someone told her that if you want the beautiful trees that form canopies over the lawn, you can forget about a really luxurious turf. I don't know how true that really is.
Or you could try some big, flat stepping stones with flowers and vines in between them.
Whatever is easy and makes you happy.
