My dog chewed up the corner of my kitchen cabinet and I need advice on how to fix it. The corner will have to be completely rebuilt and I'm not sure the best way to do this. We've got the typical builder grade cabinet base with a dark stain. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. | |||
Since they are typical builder grade cabinets, the least expensive fix that will make it as good as new will be to replace either the entire cabinet or the cabinet front. The hard part could be finding the manufacturer (depending on how old they are). Removing the cabinet could be a challenge but I'm guessing that it was an end cabinet to make it available for chewing. While it is possible to replace just the one piece on the cabinet face edge this is a job for a skilled cabinetmaker type as there is no margin of error in a fix like this. Even then, finding a piece that will stain and finish the same will be next to impossible. Jaybee | ||||
Got a picture? Post one then start looking for a kennel on line. joecaption | ||||
Here's a side view of the damage. | ||||
And here's the front view. | ||||
Does not look that bad in that picture. Light sanding, a coat of matching stain, some wipe on poly. joecaption | ||||
I have repaired worse too. I taped off surrounding good finish with painters tape and used a wood putty type filler (the kind that is colored close to wood tone but also is stain & paintable). Sand flat to the tape layer when cured, and use a matching gel stain or acrylic paints to match the cabinet. Light wipe on matching gloss or mask surrounding area and spray on lacquer to finish. | ||||
I'd put in a small screw that will be fully covered by the putty as an anchor so the corner stays on first time somebody bumps it with a vacuum. if it had been chewed more, I'd use Bondo and cut a little bit into the veneer, then patch the veneer using Titebond II or III glue, and then stain and varnish to match. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||

The title pretty much says it all.
Running a website costs money. I understand that. When you don't have enough money, bad things happen, and good things have to go away. I understand that too. But, when I saw this, I had a "Sad Panda Moment". This is taking away all the good things to stop one bad thing. There must be some other way to do this!
Here's a thought: You [Aaron] said that registrations were taking up most of the server's overhead. Why not limit or disable them? For example, only allow 0 or 1 registration per account. Any more must be bought at a predetermined price. You [Aaron] could perhaps post on the SS blog that anyone using Sipgate or Gizmo can use a service like IPKall instead, which contacts the SS servers (instead of the SS servers registering with them), cutting down on overhead. This could alleviate the problem of limited server resources (for now) until enough donations can be scraped together to upgrade the server.

I read over here in spring docs http://static.springsource.org/sprin...rence/ejb.html that you can implement EJBs. Does this require to be deployed on a application server /EJB container. Or does the spring container manage these EJBs. ?
2) If a app server/ EJB container is required. Does it mean that 2 containers are started by the appserver (the EJB container and the Spring container.) Can beans in the spring application context call EJBs managed by the EJB container.

Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible - by Paula Deen with Melissa Clark
Hi, yall!
This book is my proudest achievement so far, and I just have to tell yall why I am so excited about it. Its a book of classic dishes, dedicated to a whole new generation of cooksfor every bride, graduate, and anyone who has a love of a great Southern meal. My family is growing and expanding all the time. Were blessed with marriages and grandbabies, and so sharing these recipes for honest, down-home dishes feels like passing a generations worth of stovetop secrets on to my family, and yours.
Ive been cooking and eating Southern food my whole life, and I can tell you that every meal you make from this book will be a mouthful of our one-of-akind spirit and traditions. These recipes showcase the diversity and ingenuity of Southern cuisine, from Cajun to Low-Country and beyond, highlighting the deep cultural richness of our gumbos and collards, our barbecues and pies. You may remember a few beloved classics from The Lady & Sons, but nearly all of these recipes are brand-newand I think youll find that they are all mouthwateringly delicious. It is, without a doubt, a true Southern cooking bible.
I sincerely hope that this book will take its place in your kitchen for many years to come, as I know it will in mine. Heres to happy cookingand the best part, happy eating, yall!

NORTHBROOK — Jason Batalden, Internal Services administrator for the Village of Northbrook Police Dept. is one heckuva guy, say the students of the Northbrook Youth Commission, who look up to him as liaison.
Batalden, with his theatrical skills, is a natural fit mentoring teenage volunteer commission members.
Batalden started in 1999 as an intern for the village manager's office. He worked in the Finance Dept. for 13 years before segueing to his new Police Dept. gig. He lives in Schaumburg with his wife and three elementary school-aged children.
Q: Jason, you've a natural as an emcee at village functions. Are you an actor at heart?
A: While I have dabbled in community and college theater, I wouldn't exactly say that I am an actor. I do, however, thoroughly enjoy being in front of people with the hope of entertaining them. Is that the same thing? Growing up, I did participate in a few seasons of the Optimist International Youth Oratorical Contest. I think that is where I caught the bug.
Q: Describe your role as Police Dept. Internal Services administrator.
A: I'll be doing whatever I can to help them maintain their highly regarded reputation. More specifically, I'll be supporting the finance, budgeting, purchasing, human resources, and various administrative functions. One day, I'll ask Chief Wernick if I can flash the lights and sound the sirens.
Q: What's your favorite sports team?
A: As frustrating as it is, I am a life-long Cubs fan. Thanks, Grandma! Though, there isn't much better than a good Bears football game in the fall.
Q: Are you a summer or winter person?
A: Can I choose fall?
Q: Any special Northbrook memories?
A: I have to say that the village's Student Government Day is one of my favorite events of the year. Not only do I get to act as the village curmudgeon, I get to watch some of our junior high students showcase their political role-playing abilities as well as their astute problem-solving skills. It's interesting to watch them wrap their minds around real-life issues, take into consideration the views of other parties, and come to a decision that will surely ruffle somebody's feathers — just like real life. It's also great to watch some of them come out of their shell, as they learn to be comfortable speaking their minds.
Q: The Northbrook Youth Commission Dec. event at Lake Cook Terrace Health & Rehab. The impact?
A: I actually didn't realize how much it would grab a hold of me. I went to event as the liaison to the Youth Commission, but quickly realized that, job assignment and title aside, I was really there as myself. I have served in similar ways before, but I was refreshed by serving once again in such a simple and direct way — giving to and connecting with people who enjoy a little holiday cheer as much as I do. It was really a great event! Special thanks to my new friends — Dawn, Karen and Yvonne!
Q: What is your New Year's hope?
A: I would hope and pray that people increase their time spent helping others. It's cliché, but I don't think we understand how much we are caught up in things we only think to be important.

Washington Walks offers a diverse list of walking tours, each lasting approximately two to three hours and led by passionate, knowledgeable guides. The Embassy Row tour, offered on Saturdays at 10 a.m., explores the highfalutin housing of the city's once-upper crust, and the nightly The Most Haunted Houses tour takes off Lafayette Park's shirt to expose its violent underbelly and stops at the highly haunted Octagon. Scholarly Sundays can be devoted to the Georgetown tour, which elegantly strolls through the Georgetown neighborhood to examine 200-year-old mansions and talks about the olden days when horse-drawn carriages were pulled by eagles. There's also a series of Saturday and Sunday tours dedicated to individual neighborhoods, providing locals with the opportunity to master their living zone.
For more than 20 years, the FAA-certified flight instructors at Washington International Flight Academy have safely guided pupils skyward and imbued them with the skills necessary for numerous licenses and certifications. Under an instructor's watchful eye, guests control a Cessna 172 on a 30-minute airborne trek during discovery flights, which can later be applied toward courses for a private or commercial pilot's license with optional multiengine rating. A commercial pilot's license qualifies more seasoned flyers for instructor certification, where they learn how to teach essentials, including how to tell the difference between a landing airplane and a diving roc.
Along with in-depth courses, Washington International Flight Academy accommodates patrons with rentals of its massive fleet, charts and piloting supplies from its fully stocked shop, and lodging for out-of-state students.
French-trained photographer E. David Luria loves many subjects, but he directs most of his attention toward Washington, DC's historic architecture. His images, which lovingly depict the city's landmarks, have been published in Time Magazine as well as several local Washington papers. Luria teaches tricks of his trade privately for the Smithsonian Resident Associates Program, but also through Washington Photo Safari's tours.
Luria, along with a team of 16 other instructors–many experienced independent photographers and photojournalists–shepherd small groups through the capital's streets, gardens, and halls, while teaching them photographic techniques. These include how to use selective focus, control F-stops and shutter speeds, and remove vampires from pictures taken at night. They then help participants practice these skills on expeditions through buildings such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington National Cathedral, and the National Building Museum. More seasonal tours let guests document the short-lived cherry blossom season, challenging them to capture striking tableaus of the pink petals from land or water. They also teach composition among the verdant garden landscapes and elegant buildings at Hillwood Gardens and the US Botanical Gardens to foster tourists' appreciation for nature and their ability to heckle squirrels.
The combination of Capital Segway's high-quality apparatuses and expert local guides make the touring establishment a go-to adventure for visitors to the D.C. area. The Segway PTs, or personal transporters, come outfitted with features such as noiselessness and off-road capability in case participants want to explore the White House's backyard mud pit. Adding to the experience are the highly lauded guides, who fill the noggins of visitors with DC trivia on landmarks such as the FBI Building and the Air and Space Museum.
When Superior Tours looks for new drivers, it wants polite, reliable, and personable people, and it doesn't even consider those with fewer than five years of experience. Its drivers all work only for Superior Tours so that they can be on time and well rested for each trip. Luxury, 54-passenger motorcoaches pick up groups from the airport, ferry people to New York City for a day of urban exploration, or steer toward Atlantic City where passengers can hit the slots. The company also programs charter trips for corporate outings, church trips, and charter-bus-of-the-month clubs.
Monumental Helicopters' fleet of choppers offers clientele breath-nabbing views of eastern Maryland and the sea beyond. The compact R44 Clipper comes equipped with floats for water landings into arch nemeses' swimming pools. The aircrafts' routes fly around Baltimore, taking in the city's sites. Though not included in this Groupon, tours also zigzag between Baltimore, Washington, and Annapolis and even embark on custom tours that soar anywhere within 25 miles of Haysfield Airport.

EASTOVER — Members of the S.C. State Guard — the state's all-volunteer self-defense force — recently took part in a three-day Pre-mobilization Training Assistance Element (PTAE) with the S.C. Army National Guard's Agribusiness Development Team (ADT).
The training event was led by Col. Richard Mullinax of Winnsboro, who serves as commander of the State Guard's 1st Brigade, from Dec. 12 to Dec. 14 at the McCrady Training Area.
"This training helps fine tune our activities with those about to deploy overseas," he said. "Because of our military background, we are honing their skills with training they're not receiving elsewhere."
The ADT is composed of National Guard members with agricultural and business backgrounds, along with civilians from the Clemson Cooperative Extension, and will be deploying to Afghanistan in January.
According to CSM Dan McGowan, command sergeant major for the State Guard's 3rd Battalion, 1st Brigade, this is the second training evolution in 2012 in which the State Guard has assisted the National Guard with PTAE training.
During the training, State Guard members portrayed Afghan forces setting up ambushes and improvised explosive devices and played herdsmen, farmers, terrorists, village elders and tribal council members.
"Our job was to act as Afghans on the battlefield," McGowan said. "We were there to portray what they will encounter in Afghan villages."
Col. Raymond Franks, executive officer of the State Guard's 1st Brigade, said that 40 State Guard members have participated in PTAE training this year, volunteering 3,696 hours to support the National Guard.
"The training represents the largest and longest sustained effort to date by the modern S.C. State Guard," he said. "It has helped define a professional working relationship between the State Guard and the National Guard."
During their upcoming deployment, ADT teams will teach local Afghan farmers agricultural techniques to help wean them from growing poppies — which support the opiate drug trade — in favor of raising other financially sustainable crops to improve their lives and provide for their families.
ADT teams also teach Afghan farmers how to prevent animal diseases, inoculate livestock and reduce the environmental impact of animal slaughtering. The ultimate goal of ADT teams is to increase education, reduce poverty and expand job opportunities in Afghan communities.
Mullinax is one of several Fairfield County natives serving in the Guard. According to Pounds, others of note who are serving include Major Gen. Nelson Lacy (retired, former commanding general of S.C. State Guard), Brig. Gen. Danny Odom, Col. Ed Mills (S.C. State Guard retired), Chief Warrant Officer Jack Ramsey and Master Sgt. W.P. Bearfoote.

DETROIT LIONS: Jeff Backus' retirement statement
Jeff Backus retired Thursday after 12 seasons with the Lions. He never sought the spotlight. So instead of a retirement press conference he issued this release:
"Today, I've come to the conclusion that it's time for me to hang up my cleats and retire. It's a bittersweet moment, but I'm content knowing I gave everything I had, played as hard as I could and tried my best to live up to the standards I believe in.
"I want to thank the Ford Family and the Detroit Lions for allowing me the privilege to represent the city of Detroit and play in the National Football League for the last 12 years. I also want to thank all of my coaches and teammates for all their support over the years.
"To the fans of Detroit, I thank you for the support and loyalty you have shown the Lions and myself. You deserve a winner.
"I also want to express my sincere appreciation to Coach Carr and everyone at the University of Michigan, who all played such an important role in my development as a player and a person.
"Most importantly, I want to thank my wife, my parents, my brother, all of my family and friends, and my agent Pat Dye Jr. Your unwavering support, guidance and sacrifices allowed me to follow my dream of playing in the NFL. I could never thoroughly explain how much that has meant to me.
"To my dad, you set the standards I live by. Your support and unbelievable perseverance motivates me daily to be the best that I can be. Thanks!
"Looking forward, I wish the entire Detroit Lions organization and all Lions' fans the best. I will always be a Lion at heart."

Tough questions. Chris Coleman tried to answer. He was in the hot seat all day.
He's accused of using excessive force on Rolando Celdon and falsifying reports back in 2005.
One of the main questions asked, why did he lie in his initial police report? In the report, Coleman said he shot at Celdon with a "less-than-lethal" shotgun because Celdon picked up a stick and bottle.
It turns out, Celdon never did.
Coleman said he "didn't know what he was thinking" when he wrote it, and that was just his "draft report." He said, "At that time, I wanted to get something in to prevent from getting in even more trouble." He claims he wrote the report a day later, and was worried because had already been reprimanded for turning reports in late.
He deleted the false information in his final report.
Coleman also explained what happened during the incident with Celdon. He says he shot at Celdon with a "less than lethal" shotgun four to six times. He said Celdon refused to put his hands over his head, even though he told him to about a dozen times.
Prosecutors were quick to fire back at that claim. They pointed out in Coleman's previous testimony, he said he didn't remember what caused him to shoot Celdon. Coleman also denied ever trying to hit Celdon with a car. He said he couldn't be certain if Celdon was armed or not, and his primary concern was to protect officer Sean Plymale, who was injured and near Celdon.
The trial will continue Tuesday morning. The other accused officers, Paul van Dalen, Michael Manfredi, and Sean Plymale are also expected to take the stand.
If convicted, the officers could face up to 20 years in prison.

Ok, so you aren't supposed to use liquid fabric softener with dry wick? What else aren't you supposed to use?
No dryer sheets either. Nothing that claims to make clothes "softer." These products work by depositing a waxy reside on the fabric. Although it makes normal fabrics feel nice and silky, it blocks the moisture pathways for technical fabrics preventing them from drawing sweat away from the skin.

D uring 2009-10, Health, Hunger, and Humanity (3-H) Grants were phased out, one year earlier than initially anticipated under the Future Vision Plan, due to the decrease in available World Funds.
In the absence of 3-H Grants, The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees increased the maximum Matching Grant award from US$150,000 to $200,000, effective 1 July 2010. Increasing the maximum Matching Grant award allows clubs and districts to undertake larger projects than previously possible with Matching Grants.

The Renaissance Center's Gaslight Dinner Theatre, located on the basement level of the Renaissance Center, has been bringing together mouthwatering theatrical productions and first-rate dining for nine years, especially during the steak tartare's triumphant 2003 performance as Jean Valjean in Les Misérables. A ticket ($35) to the Gaslight Dinner Theatre scores you access to the sprawling and savory dinner buffet, which opens at 6:30 p.m. and includes a drink and dessert, as well as intimate seating for the night's performance at 7:30 p.m. All Gaslight Dinner Theatre productions boast a cast of professional actors culled from regional auditions and international hang-gliding tournaments.
In the gulches of an abandoned phosphate mine, a labyrinthine path echoes with the roar of unseen chainsaws and the rustles of hidden ghouls. Monsters and zombies lurk in the darkness at Millers Thrillers Zombie Paintball Hayride and Haunted Woods, but it isn't mere craving for blood or brains that makes them so eager to terrify––the scary staff members actually receive a bonus for making visitors wet themselves. Really. "I did always like Halloween," says founder and owner David Miller.
Miller wasn't always in the pants-wetting business, but you might say the business of Halloween in his blood. He grew up growing and selling pumpkins with his grandfather and––though he admits he was too scared to try them as a kid––his interest in haunted houses led him to intense study in the art of scaring, including seminars and conventions. His interest in creating eerie worlds inspired him to begin his walk through haunted woods and zombie-paintball hayride––during which visitors wield mounted paintball guns to fire upon advancing zombies and blank canvases hurled by poltergeists. But landing a few paintball hits won't be enough to ease the natural terror of the haunt's surroundings. "There's a lot of spooky stuff around all this country farmland… with no streetlights in sight," Miller says. "We…play on the fact that people are going to feel like they're lost in the middle of nowhere."
Despite the fright fest's scariness, Miller's real aim is to give visitors a good time. Staff members go easy on little kids and the elderly, and at the end of the walk, customers can calm chattering teeth around a fire pit and rejoin the world of the living by gathering around the concession stand or a stage that hosts a nightly illusionist and zombie drum line.
A captain licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard, Jim Steele's more than 25 years of boating⎯including time spent at the helm of Opryland's water taxis⎯comes in handy as he coaxes The Blue Heron, a specially built 40-foot pontoon, about the Cheatham Wildlife Management Area on daily tours. Out on the water amid soothing birdsongs and the burbles of river critters, Captain Jim can be found behind the wheel of the craft, exercising his chops as an entertainer as he regales his passengers with chuckle-inducing anecdotes and factoids about local flora and fauna. With the comfort and safety of his guests always in mind, Captain Jim equipped the Heron with a restroom and keeps the vessel stocked with a comprehensive library of life jackets to fit adults, children, and pet iguanas of all ages and sizes. Hitting an average cruising speed of 5 to 10 miles per hour, the Heron affords its passengers leisurely looks at area wildlife as it embarks upon all manner of tours, from gold-tinged sunset cruises to kids' adventures punctuated by the gleeful laughter of curious youngsters.
Designed by legendary golfer and course designer Arnold Palmer, King's Creek Golf Club's 18-hole, 6,807-yard course meanders through a tapestry of winding creeks and dense tree lines. Stately stone walls run along the banks of several greens, forming a natural barrier to protect the course from rogue lawnmowers. Water comes into play on the majority of the holes, complicating drives and approaches as players advance toward each contoured bent-grass green. Clubbers cruise the course astride a GPS-equipped golf cart, which provides accurate yardages to each green and provides a bird's-eye view of upcoming hazards so players don't have to pay off dubious waterfowl. King's Creek Golf Club fosters preround warm-ups with practice facilities that include a grass-tee driving range and a putting green.
Course at a Glance:
- Designed by Arnold Palmer
- 18-hole, par 70 course
- Length of 6,807 yards from the farthest tees
- Course rating of 72.9 from the farthest tees
- Slope rating of 128 from the farthest tees
- Five sets of tees
