Do you know me well? If so, you'll shortly be shaking your head and asking "why, oh why?" If not, let me share a bit…I seriously think I have a touch of obsessive/compulsive disorder (duh). Seriously. Why else would I sign up for the Blogging101 AND Photo101 30 day challenge right on the heels of the Write31days challenge??? Because blogging is my latest compulsion. And let's make it interesting by adding a photo challenge as well.
So with that…let me explain…
Blogging 101 – Introduce yourself and share why you blog.
You can read about me here. You can also ask me about anything…I'm not necessarily forthcoming all the time but it's mostly because I find you more interesting to talk about than me!
Why am I blogging – besides it being a compulsion? Because I'm seeking more passion in my life. I feel like it's time for a new hobby…a new outlet…and I'm working it out by writing. I also like the challenge of becoming a better writer. I like the challenge, accountability and fellowship of other bloggers. I also like the challenge of waking up my creative self…seeing the world anew. Finally…The Book of Ecclesiastes:
"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher.
"Everything is meaningless!"
Ecclesiastes 12:8
Solomon…at the end of his life, realized everything he pursued of the world was meaningless…money, women, power, all of it. Everything that is, except the pursuit of God. I don't pretend to have all the answers but it is certainly something that has been on my mind a whole lot these days…how am I spending my days? On the pursuit of the ultimately meaningless efforts or something that will leave a legacy. Good stuff to ponder. I believe blogging can have a legacy effect.
Photo 101 – Introduce yourself and share an image that means home
I've thought about the home question all day. I decided to submit this picture of my foot prints on the beach…caught just before the wave washed them away. I took this picture with Ecclesiastes in mind…about how fragile and brief my life will be…just a vapor really. Earth is just my temporary home…but home nonetheless…I want to make the very most of the time here but I also want to look back and know it was a life well lived.

One girl called SIGNY was born beneath the world's most cavernous sea. For many years, she explored the depths, swimming through great mounds of underwater jetsam to retrieve what the surface people had tossed into the expanse. She favored Jasper, plastic teeth, and tangled wires. Her only friends were dolphins wound in fishing nets. She was enthralled by the watery theater of forgotten things.
Then one day, SIGNY heard a voice as she was winding through the dark plumes. It was long off, yet as clear as the blue: "Underwater…I am paralyzed…" She started swimming skyward without thinking. Before she knew it, her head peeked above the waves. Her yellow eyes went blind as her feet hit the cold sand. The waves were crashing all around her and she found it hard to stand. She heard a different voice coming from the deep. It danced around the first, weaving in and out of resonance. "Underwater…I am paralyzed…." She felt a warm sensation in her chest and began walking toward the skeletal trees in the distance.
Another girl called SIGNY was born on the savannah from the mouth of a lioness. For many years, she haunted the villagers with her lilting melodies. She brought them dreams of far away meadows full of flowers, and nightmares that reminded the men how they loved to maim and kill one another. Few saw her, but all who had would whisper to each other about her fiery hair, fierce, red gaze, and the gifts she had given them. They thought she was an apparition.
One day, she caught her reflection as she knelt into a pool to take a drink of the clear water. But her face had changed somehow: her eyes were suns, and her hair had darkened. She became curious and bent closer to the surface of the pond. A dark, throbbing pulse pulled her headlong into the water.
She barely realized she had been swimming until her feet hit the mossy bottom. It was too dark to see anything, but she felt the vibrations of the moon as it moved the current and her body in the pitch-black. All the sudden, a swirl of fast moving water jerked her hard, and she lost consciousness. When she came to, she was sitting in a pile of soft dirt near the edge of land by a grove of skeletal trees growing up around abandoned concrete buildings. She heard a voice that was not hers: "If it's all the same…if it's all the same…." She looked up and saw it diving and pitching around another in the air. The full spectrum of light appeared around them.
SIGNY of the OCEAN heard SIGNY of the SAVANNAH before she saw her. When SIGNY reached SIGNY, neither could speak. They grasped hands and pointed toward the sky. SIGNY of the SAVANNAH's voice, trained like a falcon, returned to her immediately and she said: I think that's your voice." Suddenly, the other voice dived into SIGNY of the OCEAN and she turned pale and collapsed. She said: "I have been looking for you since dawn. I look familiar because our voices are one. What is your name?"
"I am also SIGNY."
The girls grasped hands again and looked out at the sea. Then they turned and looked back at the land.
"We are SIGNY," they whispered and never let go.

The 3-year-old Great Dane was miserable and gagging when his owners rushed him to an emergency animal hospital in Portland, Oregon, in February.
It was something he ate!
X-rays showed a stomach full of "a large quantity of foreign material." Nearly two hours of surgery later, veterinarian Ashley Magee had an explanation: The dog had consumed 431 / 2 socks.
Shawna Harch of DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital said this was perhaps the strangest case in the hospital's history.
It was so strange that the hospital entered the tale, complete with X-rays, in a contest run by a veterinary magazine — and the story won a prize. (Fittingly enough, the contest is called "They Ate What?")
Even stranger: The $1,500 first-place winner was an animal hospital in Plano, Texas, that treated an exotic frog that ate more than 30 small ornamental rocks from its cage.
The DoveLewis entry says the Great Dane returned home a day after surgery. Harch said the pet's owners weren't available for comment, but she confirmed that the dog is alive. No word on what he has eaten lately.

Your desire for a new Kentucky, with possibilities and opportunities for our children and grandchildren, continues to inspire us and encourages each of us, our GOP House Leadership and our team of candidates. I often wish you could meet all of our 2016 Republican House candidates; they are dedicated and principled women and men who have step up, put their personal lives and buisnesses on hold to run in their respective Districts. No matter what area of Commonwealth they call home, they stand firm and united with each of us in our vision for Kentucky and our commitment to our Kentucky families and buisnesses. Families are the building blocks of society, and small buisnesses are the backbone of vibrant economy. House Republicans have long stood with Kentucky families and Kentucky buinesses. We are committed to removing barriers to success and ensuring an environment in this Commonwealth that encourages companies to invest in Kentucky, to grow and create jobs. We can not afford to continue on the wornout path of buiness as usual in the Bluegrass, as it continues eroding our prosperity.

Camping has been, and remains, a popular form of outdoor recreation for individuals and families. One day excursions for picnics, fishing trips or sightseeing, as well as multi-day vacation trips, frequently require the preparation of at least one meal out-of-doors. Although the more modern camping equipment such as trailers, pop-up tents and the like frequently have built in gas stoves, a substantial number of campers, hikers and backpackers prefer to cook their meals over an open campfire while camping. The campfire provides a source of heat to warm the campers, and often becomes the focal point of campsite activity. For many outdoor enthusiasts, the open campfire creates the atmosphere which attracts them to camping for recreation.
Publicly owned and privately owned campgrounds frequently provide fireplaces in which a campfire can be built, and the fireplace normally has a grill on which cooking utensils can be placed during the preparation of a meal. While the typical outdoor fireplace provides a suitable location and device in which to build a fire, the fireplace often is less than ideally suited for the preparation of a meal. Normally, the grills are attached permanently to the walls of the firebox, and although the grill may be hinged along one edge to facilitate the addition of wood and the removal of ashes, normally the grill is not adjustable to various cooking heights. It is desirable in cooking over an open fire to move the cooking pans in relation to the fire, either vertically to move the pans closer to or further from the fire directly thereunder, or horizontally to move the pans away from the fire to keep warm. The heat from a campfire is relatively difficult to control, and the intensity of heat from the fire depends on the type of wood being used in the fire, the moisture in the wood, and the skill of the camper in controlling the fire. Moving the pans relative to the fire compensates for variations in heat from the fire.
Even in those camping facilities in which campfire fireplaces are provided, it is not uncommon that some campsites will share a single fireplace, thus making it inconvenient for the campers at the two sites to prepare meals simultaneously. Especially in public campgrounds, the fireplace may fall into a state of disrepair, making the use thereof difficult, if not entirely impossible. Some camping facilities, such as beaches where open campfires are permitted, have no specific locations for fires. Likewise, the wilderness camper or hiker will not normally have outdoor fireplaces at his disposal. Thus, many outdoor enthusiasts carry apparatus for cooking over open fires built on the ground. In many instances this apparatus consists only of a grill with legs to hold the cooking area of the grill above the campfire. These devices provide little, if any, adjustability of the cooking surface in relation to the campfire. Most of these devices also do not provide any type of containment for the fire itself but are merely a grill with supporting structure to hold the grill above the fire; thus, the wind can blow ashes from the fire and make controlling the fire more difficult. Since packing space is normally at a premium for campers, backpackers and the like, prior to this time it has been impractical to carry an enclosed campfire fireplace to the campsite.
It is therefore one of the principal objects of the present invention to provide a portable campfire fireplace which can be carried from campsite to campsite to provide an enclosed area for building a campfire with a cooking surface that is adjustable relative to the campfire, and which can be stored in a minimal amount of space when not in use.
These and other objects are accomplished in the present invention by providing a firebox having walls defining an enclosed area in which the campfire may be built, the walls being hinged at their corners to permit the walls to be closed to a flattened position side by side, requiring only minimal storage space. A post extends upwardly from the opened structure, and has a bracket extending outwardly therefrom for supporting a grill on which cooking pans may be placed. The bracket is vertically adjustable on the post, thereby premitting the cooking utensils to be lowered closer to or raised farther from the fire. The bracket is also rotatable on the post, to permit the grill with cooking utensils thereon to be rotated away from the fire.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable campfire fireplace which folds substantially flat and requires only a minimal amount of storage space, and which has a compact closed arrangement wherein all pieces of the portable fireplace are secured to the flatly folded walls, minimizing the possibility of misplacing pieces when the fireplace is not in use.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a portable campfire fireplace which may be used with wood or charcoal to provide campfire cooking or charcoal cooking, respectively, and which can be used to keep foods warm as well as to cook foods.
Additional objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portable campfire fireplace embodying the present invention, with the movement of various parts of the fireplace shown by arrows and phantom lines;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the procedure whereby the fireplace walls are folded from the opened position to the closed position;
FIG. 3 is an exploded view showing the closed assembly of the fireplace;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the completely closed fireplace; and
FIG. 5 is a vertical cross sectional view of a modified form of the invention, taken on line 5--5 of FIG. 1.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings, and to FIG. 1 in particular, numeral 10 designates a portable campfire fireplace embodying the present invention having a firebox 12 and an adjustable cooking unit 14. Normally fireplace 10 will be made of metal having sufficient heat resistance to withstand the heat from a campfire without becoming deformed or weakened by repeated heating and cooling. The fireplace may be of any size suitable for holding firewood, and a pit for an individual camper or backpacker will probably be smaller than one to be used by a large group or family requiring a larger cooking area for more and larger cooking utensils.
Firebox 12 includes side walls 16, 18, 20 and 22 which, when fully opened, define a square inner area in which the campfire can be built. A hinge 24 is disposed at the adjacent end edges of side walls 16 and 18 and permits walls 16 and 18 to move with respect to each other so that the inner surfaces of the side walls can be folded against each other. A hinge 26 is disposed at the adjacent edges of side walls 18 and 20 and permits walls 18 and 20 to move with respect to each other so that the outer surfaces of the walls can be folded against each other. A hinge 28 is disposed at the adjacent edges of side walls 20 and 22 and permits walls 20 and 22 to move with respect to each other so that the inner surfaces of the walls can be folded against each other. The movement of the walls with respect to each other as just described occurs when the corner formed by walls 18 and 20 is moved toward the nonhinged corner formed by walls 16 and 22. Eyes 30 and 32 are disposed near the edge of side wall 16 opposite the edge connected to hinge 24, and when the firebox is fully opened, the eyes are aligned above and below a pair of eyes 34 and 36, respectively, disposed near the edge of side wall 22. A post 38 is disposed in eyes 30, 32, 34 and 36 and extends upwardly therefrom. When disposed in the eyes, the post secures the walls of the firebox in the opened position, and when the post is removed from the eyes the walls can be folded flat. Side wall 22 includes an inwardly extending flange 40 at the upper edge of the side wall and a handle 42 disposed on the flange. A hasp 44 having a slot 46 at the free end is attached to the flange and folds downwardly over the flatly folded side walls.
Cooking unit 14 includes a grill 50 having two grill sections 52 and 54 connected by a hinge 56. In the embodiment shown, a piano hinge is disposed between grill sections 52 and 54; however, any pivotal attachment may be used which permits the upper surfaces as shown in FIG. 1 to be folded against each other, but which also restricts movement of the grill sections beyond the flattened position in the opposite direction. In some embodiments grill 50 may be one solid piece, not having the hinged sections; however, for compact carrying and storing of the fireplace, the hinged grill is peferred, since it permits the grill to be folded to substantially the size of the side walls. A collar 60 having a T-shaped set screw 62 is disposed on post 38, and may be slid upwardly or downwardly on the post and secured in any location on the post by tightening set screw 62 against the post. A bracket 64 slides along the post and rests on top of collar 60, and includes a sleeve 65 and radially extending arms 66 and 68 with channel-like portions 70 and 72 at the ends thereof into which the edge pieces from the grill may be inserted. A stop bar 74 extends inwardly from the corner formed where the arms of bracket 64 join, and extends over the corner of grill 50 when the edges of the grill are inserted in channels 70 and 72. Hence, the grill is held in a substantially horizontal position by bracket 64 and will support cooking utensils filled with food.
For securing all parts of the fireplace when disassembled to the flatly folded firebox, side wall 16 includes an outwardly extending bolt 80 having a wing nut 82, and also includes knob-like projections 84 and 86 for holding pole 38, and an annular knob 90 for holding collar 60. The placement and attachment of the loose parts of the fireplace on the flatly folded firebox will be explained more fully hereinafter.
In the use and operation of a portable campfire fireplace embodying the present invention, the firebox is unfolded and expanded to the open position and is secured in the open position by inserting post 38 through the aligned eyes 30, 32, 34 and 36. Collar 60 is placed on post 38 and is secured thereto by set screw 62, and bracket 64 is slid downwardly on the post to rest on top of collar 60. Grill 50 is attached to the bracket by angling one corner of the grill downwardly from a position above the bracket toward the corner formed by arms 66 and 68 of the bracket. The corner is placed under stop bar 74 and the diagonally opposite corner of the grill from the corner under the stop bar is lowered until the edges of the grill rest in channels 70 and 72. Since sleeve 65 of bracket 64 merely rests on top of collar 60, the bracket and grill may be rotated on post 38 at any time. Hence, the grill can be rotated to a position above the fire for cooking food, may be rotated partially off the fire so that some foods are directly above the fire and being cooked while others are not directly over the fire but are being kept warm by the fire, or the grill may be rotated on post 38 to a position where the entire grill is away from the fire, as shown in FIG. 1. Vertical movement of the grill is achieved by loosening set screw 62 and sliding collar 60 either upwardly or downwardly on post 38 and securing the collar in the desired position.
The present portable fireplace is also advantageous when used for campfires other than when meals are being prepared. Grill 50 and bracket 64 can be removed from the post when meals are not being prepared, and can be quickly replaced for cooking. Normally post 38 will be left in eyes 30, 32, 34 and 36 to secure the walls in the open, expanded position; however, the post may be removed if desired, or it may be replaced with a shorter and less interfering post. The side walls of the firebox minimize the effects from gusts of wind in disturbing the fire and blowing ashes away, while also containing the fire and minimizing the spreading out of the burning material which normally occurs as the burned pieces fall from a burning pile.
When the portable fireplace is to be disassembled, the corner of grill 50 farthest from post 38 is raised upwardly, hence lowering the opposite corner away from stop bar 74. The grill may then be lifted away from arms 66 and 68. Bracket 64 is slid off post 38, set screw 62 is loosened so that collar 60 may also be removed from the post, and the post is removed from eyes 30, 32, 34 and 36. With the post removed from the eyes, the edges of side walls 16 and 22 are moved apart from each other. The corner formed by side walls 18 and 20 is pulled inwardly toward the general location where post 38 was inserted into the eyes, and at the same time, the corners formed by the adjacent edges of the other side walls are closed so that the four side walls will be flat against each other in a side by side relationship throughout substantially the length of each. The procedure for folding the firebox is shown by the phantom lines and arrows in FIG. 2. During the folding procedure, hasp 44 is raised above the upper edge of side wall 22 so as not to interfere with the firebox side wall folding. When the side walls are flatly folded, walls 16 and 22 are on the outside of the folded firebox and walls 18 and 20 are disposed between side walls 16 and 22.
After the side walls have been folded, the firebox normally will be placed on its side, with side wall 16 being on top. In this position, the yet loose members of cooking unit 14 may be attached to the folded firebox. Post 38 is placed on side wall 16 between projections 84 and 86 on one end, and between projection 88 and eye 30 on the other end. Bracket 64 is placed flat on side wall 16 with arm 66 thereof against eye 32 and arm 68 against post 38. Collar 60 is placed on knob 90, and set screw 62 is tightened against the knob to hold collar 60 in place. Grill 50 is folded and is placed on top of the aforementioned pieces now resting on side wall 16. Hasp 44 is folded over the top of grill 50, and bolt 80 extends through slot 46 of the hasp. Wing nut 82 is tightened against the hasp to hold the hasp and grill against side wall 16. In this storing arrangement, none of the parts of the fireplace are loose or can fall from the closed structure. Grill 50 holds bracket 64 against side wall 16, and the bracket is restricted from sliding outwardly from under the grill by eyes 30 and 32 which have a smaller opening therebetween than the distance between the outer edges of arms 66 and 68. The grill overlaps post 38 and collar 60, and the hasp holds the grill in place. In this closed and compact arrangement, the fireplace is easily carried by handle 42 and requires little storing and packing space.
In the modification shown in FIG. 5, a pan 100 is provided as a false bottom in the firebox for building charcoal fires. The pan will normally be required for cooking with charcoal briquettes, in that the side walls 16, 18, 20 and 22 are of a greater depth than desirable for charcoal cooking. If the charcoal were placed on the ground between the firebox side walls, the charcoal would be further from grill 50 than is desirable for charcoal cooking. Pan 100 includes a bottom 102 on which the charcoal is placed to bring the charcoal closer to the top of the side walls 16, 18, 20 and 22, and hooked portions 104 and 106 attach bottom 102 to side walls 16 and 20.
Although one embodiment of a portable campfire cooking pit and a modification thereof have been shown and described in detail herein, various other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Len celebrates 100th on the Ship Canal
Len Jones was born in 1911, the coronation year of King George V and the year the Titanic was launched at Harland & Woolf in Belfast.
During his lifetime there have been four British monarchs, 19 Prime Ministers, two World Wars and the break up of the British Empire.
Women have won the vote, man has landed on the Moon and the world has seen the invention of television, computers, the internet, mobile phones and SatNavs.
Len celebrated his 100th birthday with a special trip on the Manchester Ship Canal, where he spent his working life of almost 50 years and retired as deputy general manager. The trip was arranged by Peel Ports, the owner and operator of the Manchester Ship Canal as a way of celebrating Len's birthday and thanking him for his dedicated service.
Last week (July 5) Len was joined by former colleagues and current Manchester Ship Canal general manager Dean Hammond on board the tug 'The Viceroy'.
Len sailed from QEII dock at Ellesmere Port, which he was involved in the design and construction of in the early 1950s, and travelled up the Ship Canal to Port Ince before returning to Eastham Locks.
Len joined the Manchester Ship Canal Company as a 15-year-old in June 1927, and apart from four years in the late 1930s, he worked for the Ship Canal Company until his retiral in July 1975.
During that time he served as chief draughtsman, principal assistant engineer and deputy chief engineer, a post he held for the last four years of his working life.
Len is still fit and healthy, being a regular user of a local gym near his Wilmslow, Cheshire home.
He said: "This has been a very nice day, and I'd like to thank Peel Ports Mersey for organising it. It was a pleasure to spend some time on the Ship Canal with family and friends and get a chance to see all the developments that are taking place there."
Ship Canal general manager Dean Hammond said: "Len is a remarkable man who played a big role in making the Ship Canal what it is today – a living and growing asset to the North West of England. It was a real pleasure to share in his big day."

So yesterday I started a diet.
You know, because it's the 1st of the month and all?
So I started a diet for several reasons. One of which is because The Lazy Dad and I are going to have some pictures taken together for our 10th anniversary. And I want to look good in these pictures.
Oh, and I started a diet because I'm going home to Texas at the end of this month for a few days.
Oh, and because I could run into people from high school at every turn while I'm there for my visit.
Oh, and because while in Texas I'll be eating all kinds of comfort food and I need to shed some pounds before I go and put some on.
So yesterday I met a friend for lunch. But because it was September 1st and I had started my "diet" I asked her if we could pack a lunch and meet at a local park instead. Then that way we could walk on some trails after our lunch.
So we did.
We ate and walked on a trail for 30 minutes.
Then last night my neighbor and I started walking too. I laced up my tennis shoes and we tromped around the neighborhood for about a mile.
And you know what happened after that?
I was sore. Sore people! Can I just say I was disgusted with myself for being sore from just WALKING.
Oh, and I got headaches. Headaches! I always get headaches after I exercise which makes me NOT want to exercise because, hello! I get headaches afterwards.
So tell me, O wise lazy people. Why do I get headaches after I exercise?
And why do I always start diets on the 1st of the month or a Monday?
And why am I so lazy?
And why is the sky blue?
And why is it Siegfried and Roy and not Roy and Siegfried?
A girl needs to know these things.
P.S. Yes, I'm painfully aware that this post made no sense.
P.P.S. I apologize that this post made no sense.
P.P.P.S. One day I hope to make sense.

I have always loved to write and wax poetic. My problem has always been focusing on finishing. Maybe that's why I can finish poems art. Short term commitments!
I have illustrated two published children's books, written by Andrew Stewart, with a 3rd in the post stage and a 4th in the concept stage. They can be purchased online almost anywhere, or directly via Andrew's website.
I am currently working on publishing a book of poetry entitled, "Hate". It will compile a number of emotionally charged poems written by myself. A gritty, angst-driven, and sometimes terrifying look into my formative years. The book will be published by Meathead Publishing and should be available in time for Christmas 2015. Please check back for updates.
I am also currently writing a number of books:
"Blood" with Ken Harris. A science fiction series about a post-apocalyptic world and the survival of the human race against a disease, and the creatures that embrace it. The book will be published by Meathead Publishing and should be available second quarter 2016. Please check back for updates.
"The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man". A humiliating biography, compiling terrifyingly inane events in one anonymous man's life. The book will be published by Meathead Publishing with no set release date. Expect in the first or second quarter of 2016. Please check back for updates.

Not happy... but most of all need a bit of help if possible before I call a service man: I live in the country and it will not only take time (I have not got) and money (I have even less!) ANY IDEA HOW TO OPEN THE DOOR??? Kind regards Cecile: email@example.com
Posted by carsac on

The door seal is damaged which causing this problem, you need to replace the seal in order to open the door freely, you need to fix the seal in order open the door.............
Good luck...
Posted on Jul 01, 2008
Get a thin piece of wire or string, feed it into the door and pull it
back to unlock the door. (Hope you get what I'm trying to say here).
Once the door is open you'll be able to ascertain what parts are required to repair.
If your door handle is on the right, feed the wire from the right side of the door and work it until both ends are at the left side, then pull to the left.
Hope this helps and keep me updated.
Posted on Jul 01, 2008
Lots of people force the door open out of frustration and cause extra
expense. There are many reasons why the door may be jammed shut -
The water hasn't pumped out properly and the washing machine has a pneumatic door safety lock (a rubber hose connected to the door interlock and connected to a pressure chamber bottle on the tub. Water forces air up this tube and locks the door) Washing machine won't empty water
The water has pumped out properly, but a blockage of gunge inside the pressure chamber bottle is trapping the air that's operating the door lock (if a pneumatic lock is fitted - not many have these days due to cost cutting)
Door interlock jammed
Door catch, handle, or mechanism broken
****** (a device that detects the motion of the drive belt fitted to many older Hotpoint washing machines which "pecks" at the belt when the door handle or button is operated) is broken or has fallen off
Do not take the lid off and reach inside the washing machine to try and release the door if the washing machine is still plugged in as you will be electrocuted.
Make sure the washing machine is unplugged if you keep messing with it.

Primitive Americana, for the Fourth of July and Memorial Day
~Americana~ *Patriotic* ~4th of July~ and so much more!
I am starting to introduce my patriotic bowl fillers and ornies for decorating.
With Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day all heading here in the months to come, I thought
I would get a head start and begin making some of my favorite ornies and bowl fillers. Stars, hearts, Lady Liberty, pinwheels, liberty bells
and so much more. Take a look at some of the Americana items I am currently offering in my Ebay and Etsy Stores. Contact me if I can make something
up for you.
I'm always looking for new ideas and if there is something you have in mind that you just cannot find, send me an email and perhaps I can make it up
for you.
Enjoy this time of year. Decorate with some red, white and blue and show your pride. Made in the USA too!

EEPROM reprogramming and test digital cluster
Firstly we are looking for a suitable programming tool for odometers, The brands we commonly see are:
- Audi
- Ford
- Holden
- Honda
- Hyundai
- Isuzu
- Lexus
- Mazda
- Mercedes Benz
- Mitsubishi
- Nissan
- Porsche
- Subaru
- Suzuki
- Toyota
- Volkswagen
Looking around I have seen mention of beeprog, Xprog m and UPA programmer, I am hoping to cover direct eeprom reprogramming via a windows based tool as opposed to a field tool so that we can store and archive the dumps.
Next would be a way to test digital clusters, so far we mainly accept the instrument cluster directly which has limited our ability to test devices where the speed, rpm, temp etc are provided by other devices over a can bus,
After inquiring with www.OBD365.com, the customer service advice me X-prog m and UPA programmer for best eeprom reprogramming tools, these two programming tools are best-selling with good quality and good reputation, and work with the above car models.
As for the suitable programming tools for odometers, digiprog3 or digimaster 3 from Yanhua Company is the best choice, they have better quality then other clones. it can do most german cars with obd (not bmw). and it can read dumps and save to pc.
then you can use NYO V4.0 to change mileage of lots of cars.

In the Midnight HourMarch 26th, 2009 | Sources: CNN, National Sleep Foundation
Subjects: Behavioral health
Recent studies have shown that sleep-deprived people are 3 times more likely to catch a cold than the well rested and that each hour of rack time above 5 is associated with a 33% drop in the risk of developing (egad) coronary artery disease.
Meanwhile, 40% of Americans believe that getting adequate sleep is as important to overall health and well being as diet and exercise.
It doesn't matter.
Americans are cutting back on sleep relentlessly.
According to a poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, the number of Americans who average less than six hours a night jumped from 13% to 20% between 2001 and 2008, while the number claiming to get at least eight fell from 38% to 28%.
In addition, 54% of adults-which works out to 110 million licensed drivers-report having driven while drowsy at least once last year. Frighteningly, nearly a third report nodding off or flat out falling asleep while driving a vehicle last year.
"The economy is a major factor why people are losing sleep," understated sleep expert Raj Kakar to CNN.
To which David Cloud added, "it's easy to understand why so many people are concerned over the economy and jobs, but sacrificing sleep is the wrong solution."
The CEO of the National Sleep Foundation added, "sleep is essential for productivity and alertness and is a vital sign for one's overall health."
And besides, the sleep-skipping trend antedated the Great Economic Crisis, aided and abetted as it has been by SportsCenter, the Internet, cell phones and Crackberries, not to mention what Wilson Pickett had in mind.
And there's a macho thing, too.
"Our society has valued people who brag about being able to function on very little sleep as a mark of someone who is aggressive, dynamic, successful," Neil Kavey, Director of the Sleep Disorder Center at Columbia told CNN.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Rescue crews had to cut the entire top off an Acura to free a victim after a two car crash in Raleigh on Saturday afternoon.
The wreck happened just after 2:30 p.m. at Spring Forest Road and Departure Drive and involved two vehicles, officials said.
One person was taken to a nearby hospital after being trapped in an Acura TL that appeared to hit a utility pole.
Another driver was injured when their blue SUV went off the road and hit a tree, according to Raleigh Police.
Both drivers suffered non-life threatening injuries. There was no word on what caused the crash.

I feel sort of bad about how hard I was ragging on the Iron Skull figure yesterday, so today's review is going to cover a new iteration of a classic character that I think worked out much, much better for Hasbro. He's not even available in most stores yet, but he's still selling for below MSRP and free shipping online. Even so, the Marvel Legends Secret War Captain America is a surprisingly fantastic new 6″ Captain America figure…
The Right:
But while this could get very old and very boring fast, Hasbro has actually put some very exciting spins on what could have been some very plain Captain America toys this year!
Earlier this year we got Marvel Legends Cap-Wolf (which was all kinds of fun), and now, here comes… Secret War Captain America! (Note the lack of an 's' on "War".)
I'll admit that Brian Michael Bendis' "Secret War" limited series isn't one of my all-time favorites (in fact, I believe I've only read it once, over a decade ago), but that doesn't mean that this Captain America Secret War costume isn't rockin'!
We've become so accustomed to minor tweaks to Cap's classic and movie costumes that the 6″ Marvel Legends Secret War Captain America figure feels totally fresh visually compared to pretty much any other Cap action figure of the past few years.
This figure doesn't necessarily have more paint deco on it than your standard Cap, but the way it's laid out on the toy is different enough to really be striking.
The ever-so-slightly shiny blue paint of this figure look fantastic with the subtle red lining on Cap's boots, glove and mask.
Although it's an add-on to the underlying body, not only is the Secret War Captain America belt nice and tight (and I believe a new mold), but it also has some really eye-grabbing paint deco on it. The metal-looking belt is the most impressively-painted part of the whole figure!
Of course, Hasbro isn't banking on collectors buying this figure just for a truly obscure costume–they've packed in an incredibly awesome accessory as the real lure! For the first time ever, a Captain America Marvel Legends 6″ figure comes with a shield-throwing effects piece!
Yes, now Cap can "swoosh" has shield at evil-doers, leaving a streak of translucent red plastic in his shield's wake. I was concerned that this effect shield might disappoint, but now that I've had time to play with it, I totally love it.
The shield throwing effect is actually attached to an open-handed interchangeable hand and cannot be removed from the hand, so no worries about it falling off or trying to cram it into Cap's grip.
While I initially worried that the accessory would be too heavy and Secret War Cap wouldn't be able to hold it up, that's not the case at all–thus far I've been able to pose Cap without the shield effects piece drooping at all (although eventual joint loosening has be to be a concern).
And don't worry–you don't have to use the swoosh effects piece. The standard "hold or clip-on" shield can be attached or detached to the effect piece at will, and the shield can be worn on either of Cap's arms or his back just like usual.
Articulation-wise, this figure is also the total package with every single point of articulation that I look for on a Marvel Legends figure: double-jointed elbows and knees; swivel waist, thighs, boots and biceps; ball-hinge head with a great range of motion; hinged ankles with ankle rockers; ball-jointed hips; ball-hinge shoulders and wrists… Everything I want is here and works well.
The Wrong:
Cap gets two default grasping hands (for grasping what, I do not know) and his throwing effect hand–and that's it! No fists to brawl with or even a saluting hand for this Captain America action figure…? Craziness!
Also, while case ratios never count against a figure's actual grade, my mind is still boggled that Hasbro thought it made sense to double-pack an obscure Captain America with very limited kid appeal instead of doubling up at the movie Scarlet Witch Marvel Legends figure that seemingly everyone wants. Alas.
Overall: While my excitement level for a figure called "Secret War Captain America" would typically be pretty low, this Hasbro Marvel Legends Secret War Captain America figure is top-notch. Creative costume choice, exemplary paints, perfect articulation scheme, and an especially inventive accessory make this figure a total winner. Highly recommended.

|Families struggle for access to safe water in the rundown Baghdad neighbourhood of Sab' Qsoor.
By Claire Hajaj and Ban Dhayi
World Water Day, 22 March, is an international day of action to draw attention to the lack of access to safe drinking water in the developing world. Here is a story on water concerns in Iraq.
AMMAN, Jordan, 21 March 2007 – For thousands of Iraqis living in crudely built cabins in the Baghdad slums of Sab' Qsoor, a safe drink of water used to be almost impossible to find. The area has only a few pipes to supply municipal water, and many of them are broken or contaminated.
As a result, most families had no alternative to stagnant streams, puddles or uncovered wells to quench their thirst. That changed almost four years ago, but now the people of Sab' Qsoor face a new water crisis.
Drinking from untreated sources
"We tried to buy water from private tankers but it was too expensive to keep up," says Faleeha, a 44-year-old mother of six children, recalling the prior situation. "It cost us 1,000 Iraqi dinars [about 78 cents] for just 200 litres. This is enough to drink but not to wash. My children often went to school without even washing their faces."
Sabiha, who lives next door to Faleeha, faced a similar struggle. Her children would regularly walk across town to fetch water from a ditch. The reward for their long trek was, more often than not, illness brought on by diseases that thrive in untreated water sources.
"One of my sons suffered from acute diarrhoea and had to stay a whole month in the hospital," says Sabiha. "It affected the rest of my family because I had to stay with him all the time."
A land between two rivers
Safe water should be available to everyone in Iraq. The country is blessed with two abundant natural water sources, the ancient Tigris and Euphrates rivers. But national water networks have suffered grievously as a result of Iraq's long economic deprivation and have been allowed to fall into disrepair.
Even before the Iraq war began in 2003, millions of people were struggling with broken pipes and faulty systems. But since then, Iraq's water problems have multiplied.
In the chaotic aftermath of the initial conflict, Iraq's main pumping stations and water-treatment plants were stripped of vital equipment by looters. Acts of sabotage damaged infrastructure even further. Municipal water became dirty and contaminated – exposing children to dangerous and health-sapping waterborne diseases.
Diarrhoea, a common consequence of drinking unsafe water, is already the second biggest killer of Iraq's young children and contributes significantly to malnutrition rates.
Water tankering services halted
To help the worst-affected families, UNICEF launched a water tankering service in April 2003. Tanker trucks full of safe drinking water were sent daily to the most deprived areas of Baghdad and Basra.
Last year, UNICEF tankers were reaching approximately 120,000 people per day in Baghdad, delivering 400 million litres of safe water to 10 residential areas, five schools and six main hospitals – as well as to a growing number of displaced families.
But water tankering services have now been halted in the Iraqi capital. Funds for the operation have run out.
"Water-tankering is usually only a short-term solution for the aftermath of emergencies," says UNICEF Iraq's Chief of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Vinod Alkari. "But Iraq is still facing a growing humanitarian crisis. If people are cut off from this critical service it will push them to the edge of desperation and risk the health of their children."
Safe water equals hope
UNICEF is asking for support to continue Iraq's water tankering operations for another 12 to 18 months. In the meantime, UNICEF is working with its UN partners and the Government of Iraq to boost the country's investment in the water sector – and thereby improve its capacity to meet the needs of its own population.
For Faleeha, Sabiha and the other mothers of Sab' Qsoor, water tankering means more than safe water to drink. It gives them hope that they have not been forgotten, that someone still cares about their needs.
"God has sent UNICEF to save us with a free water supply," says Sabiha. "I do not want to send my children out of the home for water again."

This past summer, I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to study abroad for three weeks and travel to Salzburg and Vienna in Austria and Venice, Italy. The trip, lead by one of our professors at Naz, is also a three credit upper level music history class. There were sixteen students from Nazareth all majoring in either music therapy, music education, or getting their BA in music.
During these three weeks, we stayed in hostels and spent about a week in each location. We visited multiple museums, archives, churches, and ate INCREDIBLE food!
My favorite memories of Salzburg were visiting the sites from the movie the Sound of Music. We saw the pavilion where sixteen-year old Liesel hides from the rain, the steps when all the kids and Maria (Julie Andrews) sings Do-A-Deer, and we attended a concert at what was the backside of the house in the movie.
In Austria, we also visited one of the places Beethoven stayed, Gustav Mahler and W.A. Mozart's graves, and psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's house he stayed in before leaving for London. These were only some my favorite parts, but each day was jam packed with new adventures and experiences.
Since this was a class after all, each of us had to research a composer and do a very informal presentation on them at a place of significance that we visited while in Europe. I had the great pleasure of learning about the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn. I did my presentation on him when we visited St. Stephens cathedral in Vienna where Haydn sang as a choir boy for most of his childhood. It was incredible learn about famous performers and composers as we visited the places they grew up, lived, and brought their music to life. It really brought what we were learning to life in a way that's impossible in a traditional classroom.
We got to meet some famous people too! While in Venice, we personally met Arnold Schoenberg's daughter at Schoenberg's archive. Schoenberg was (and still is) a world famous 20th century composer and music theorist. We also met Elisabeth von Trapp, agrandchild of the real Maria and Baron von Trapp. She played songs from her music album in the space where the movie has all the von Trapp family in a singing competition.
I only touched on the bare minimum in this blog post, but this trip was an adventure I will never forget with incredible people that I became very close to. This past semester, I took another music history course and felt so much more engaged in the lectures and readings because I actually visited these places we learned about; I enjoyed the material so much more because I had such great memories associated with it. I hope every student who wants to gets to experience studying abroad. It opened my eyes to the differences and similarities in culture, people, art, architecture, music, education, and so much more.
Interested in learning more about the music history trip to Europe? Read an interview about it with former student Louise Ly.

Senior managers and young professionals from 20 different EBU Member organizations will come together in Brussels this Friday (22 January) for the first EBU SkillsXchange Workshop.
The aim of the day is to discuss the latest trends in storytelling and media production with digital natives and senior managers in public service media and exchange ideas about how to build a better future for the industry.
The workshop is sponsored by EBU Media Director Jean Philip De Tender: "Millennials are the future, and they are a generation that has a very clear vision about what they expect from the future," he said.
"I therefore believe that it's important that we start thinking about the future by listening to this generation, by getting them on board, by working with them and thinking together with them."
The event will be held at Google's Headquarters with Youtube EMEA's Senior Director Stephen Nuttall sharing his views on how the media can better engage younger audiences with creative new talent and content.
Among the other speakers in Brussels will be the Director General of Swedish Radio Cilla Benko who will discuss the transition from an analogue company to a public service broadcaster where all three pillars are equally important: terrestrial radio, online and social media.
A panel discussion entitled "From Media for today to Media for tomorrow" will debate the best ways to produce media for audiences from different generations and Belgian Flemish Member VRT will be pitching OpenVRT - a community for digital creatives in Flanders: bloggers, app builders, photographers and much more which provides a space for young digital creatives to discuss their ideas with each other and improve their skills.
There'll also be a summary of the very first SkillsXchange which took place at the Prix Italia in Turin last September. Some of those who took part will share their experiences of this important project which facilitate the exchange of knowledge, know-how and ideas between young professionals working within EBU Member organisations.

If you thought Netflix handled its earlier price increase badly, just wait till you hear the complaints about its latest move. In a letter to subscribers sent today, Reed Hastings, Netflix Co-Founder and CEO, opens with:
"It is clear from the feedback over the past two months that many members felt we lacked respect and humility in the way we announced the separation of DVD and streaming and the price changes." – Hmm, perhaps a little bit of an understatement! (Read the full text at the end of this post.)
So members like me might be lulled into the false impression that this letter was going to be an apology in an attempt to smooth things over. Boy, was I wrong. Instead Hastings goes on to say the following (my paraphrasing, not his):
- Because you are such a good customer, renting both DVDs and streaming, we're going to degrade your service.
- We know you like the fact that you can easily move movies between your online queue and your instant queue, which is why we're going to stop you from doing that.
- We know you liked the fact that a movie in your DVD queue is added to your instant queue automatically when it becomes available for instant viewing – so we're going to stop allowing that.
- We recognize that our website, with its easy-to-use features is one of the reasons you use our service, so we decided to give you twice the benefit by breaking it into two websites and asking you to use the two sites instead of one.
- We won't be increasing our prices as a result of reducing your service levels – we already did that.
The thing is, as I continue my research for CIOs on the intersection of IT and Marketing, I'm focusing on what IT and marketing can do to improve customer value and create a unique customer experience. In fact, I've often held Netflix up as doing the right thing for its customers by mastering the customer data flow. So when I see a "strategy" like this that purports to be in the interest of the customer, but which is transparently not in the interests of the customer, and which certainly decreases the value to the customer, I can only say this is the opposite of what we mean by becoming customer-obsessed!
When a company begins to lose its leadership in customer service by focusing on appeasing Wall Street, the writing may be on the wall (or in the email from the CEO). What do you think? Share your comments below.
The full text of Reed Hastings' email reads:
I messed up. I owe you an explanation.
It is clear from the feedback over the past two months that many members felt we lacked respect and humility in the way we announced the separation of DVD and streaming and the price changes. That was certainly not our intent, and I offer my sincere apology. Let me explain what we are doing.
For the past five years, my greatest fear at Netflix has been that we wouldn't make the leap from success in DVDs to success in streaming. Most companies that are great at something – like AOL dialup or Borders bookstores – do not become great at new things people want (streaming for us). So we moved quickly into streaming, but I should have personally given you a full explanation of why we are splitting the services and thereby increasing prices. It wouldn't have changed the price increase, but it would have been the right thing to do.
So here is what we are doing and why.
Many members love our DVD service, as I do, because nearly every movie ever made is published on DVD. DVD is a great option for those who want the huge and comprehensive selection of movies.
I also love our streaming service because it is integrated into my TV, and I can watch anytime I want. The benefits of our streaming service are really quite different from the benefits of DVD by mail. We need to focus on rapid improvement as streaming technology and the market evolves, without maintaining compatibility with our DVD by mail service.
So we realized that streaming and DVD by mail are really becoming two different businesses, with very different cost structures, that need to be marketed differently, and we need to let each grow and operate independently.
It's hard to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary: In a few weeks, we will rename our DVD by mail service to "Qwikster". We chose the name Qwikster because it refers to quick delivery. We will keep the name "Netflix" for streaming.
Qwikster will be the same website and DVD service that everyone is used to. It is just a new name, and DVD members will go to qwikster.com to access their DVD queues and choose movies. One improvement we will make at launch is to add a video games upgrade option, similar to our upgrade option for Blu-ray, for those who want to rent Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Members have been asking for video games for many years, but now that DVD by mail has its own team, we are finally getting it done. Other improvements will follow. A negative of the renaming and separation is that the Qwikster.com and Netflix.com websites will not be integrated.
There are no pricing changes (we're done with that!). If you subscribe to both services you will have two entries on your credit card statement, one for Qwikster and one for Netflix. The total will be the same as your current charges. We will let you know in a few weeks when the Qwikster.com website is up and ready.
For me the Netflix red envelope has always been a source of joy. The new envelope is still that lovely red, but now it will have a Qwikster logo. I know that logo will grow on me over time, but still, it is hard. I imagine it will be similar for many of you.
I want to acknowledge and thank you for sticking with us, and to apologize again to those members, both current and former, who felt we treated them thoughtlessly.
Both the Qwikster and Netflix teams will work hard to regain your trust. We know it will not be overnight. Actions speak louder than words. But words help people to understand actions.
Respectfully yours,
-Reed Hastings, Co-Founder and CEO, Netflix
p.s. I have a slightly longer explanation along with a video posted on our blog, where you can also post comments.

ICS is advertising for volunteers! If they would relax some of their rigid rules, they might have more volunteers!
My wife and I volunteered for ics 4 months! We provided transportation to clients, shopping, dr. Appointments, etc! We have very giving hearts, and would take clients out to eat, on shopping trips, did not count milage for eating out, and we were told, that was not allowed! We were not allowed to interact with clients on our own time, outside of volunteering for ics (could not become friends with them). Ics does provide services to the community, however, without some of their restrictions, so much more benefit could be provided! If you want to be controlled, ics is the place to volunteer!!!
I have volunteered in three states/5 cities over the last 15 years and ICS is my favorite volunteer position. They appreciate ALL of my contributions. I am able to volunteer when ever it is convenient for me in whatever area my talents are most useful.
I began volunteering with my wife six years ago following our retirement. Not ones to sit around, we found ICS to be the perfect match for us. For me, I began as a Mobile Meals driver - a sub - as we are here only 6 months a year. But, what joy I found in doing this! So, I also became a driver for Doctors appointments for those in need. Again, the joy and appreciation of those in need of this service provided by ICS was wonderful. Additionally, we help with the Food Bank through donations to provide the much needed assistance to those families served by ICS, without which many (increasing yearly) would go without. What a wonderful organization ICS is and I'm proud to be a small part.
Six years ago my husband and I were looking for a way to "give back" to our new community. As new volunteers to ICS, we found the organization offered many choices of how we could do that, including driving seniors to appointments, delivering meals, friendly calls, working in the food bank, sponsoring needy families at holiday time, or serving on committees. We're richer for all the experiences. We know that ICS uses our donated money wisely, and we've watched the organization grow and serve more people as our community needs expanded. We travel for six months each summer. We have yet to find an organization elsewhere with the programs, caliber, and professional leadership that ICS has. Like the seniors and disadvantaged people in the community, we're lucky to have found ICS.
I have been volunteering with ICS for the past few years. Every week, I grocery shop for a "shut-in" widowed woman. She is adorable. While she calls me her "angel", I can honestly say that I get more out of the experience on a personal satisfaction level than I could ever do for her. On few occasions, I also am a sub driver for their Mobile Meals program. WOW! Very eye-opening and humbling! I have delivered to all aspects of need and all socio-economic levels. ICS is an amazing organization! I am so proud to be associated with them!
I volunteer answering the phones at the front desk for ICS. When I started six years ago, we received 20 or 30 calls for help each morning. Now with the very tough times we face we receive up to 300 calls each morning. Our fellow citizens are desparate for help - shelter, utility bills, food, help with IDs and gas vouchers so they can look for work. We are providing much more help than ever before, and our resources to do so have increased quite a lot. Still the needs are even greater. I feel blessed that I can help so many through what ICS does for those in need.
I take two elderly sisters who live in my neighborhood grocery shopping every Sunday. It takes a couple of hours but their positive outlook on life and the wonderful stories they tell about their careers and life in Tucson make it a total joy. They always tell me how much they appreciate my service and show it by donating food to our Food Bank. I understand that I am one of 85 Interfaith Community Services volunteers providing transportation and shopping assistance to seniors and disabled Pima County residents. It does my heart good to think of the difference we're making in our community!
Being involved with ICS for nearly 5 years as a member of two committees has allowed me to see the inside workings of ICS. Witnessing the passion of the volunteers for their desire to meet the needs of individuals and families and to see the "greatfulness" of needs met and despair of those whose needs are unfulfilled has motivated me to help ICS meet as many needs as our volunteers are able to handle.
When I retired I was looking for something meaningful to do with my time and I heard about the need for volunteers at the ICS Food Bank and decided to give it a try. I found that everyone who volunteers here are dedicated to helping others and trying to make the clients lives a little better through what we do here. The volunteers and paid staff of ICS make this world a better place through what they do for humanity.
In my role as Coordinator for the ICS Food Bank operation, I have been highly impressed at the dedication and focus of the corps of volunteers involved in the operation itself. These volunteers have been consistently effective in distributing food to the client base, demonstrating dependability and compassionate sensitivity to the client base and responsiveness to the needs of the operation. More generally, I have observed that the need for proper food for the hungry population is in fact a virtually limitless demand and that ICS is philosophically well-positioned to help meet that demand.
