Jamie S. Rich • Various
Mason is young, and he hangs out with kids that are into bad music and bad haircuts. He lives in sunny California, where he spends his nights acting stupid in punk rock clubs and his days aimlessly reading comics and listening to tunes. The two most important things in his life are the girl who makes his heart beat at erratic speeds and the band with the strange boy he knows from high school-both of whom lead lives far more interesting than the one he leads himself. Unfortunately, his life is about to come crashing down on him in a barrage of angry fists and stomping feet. Everything is going to change. The debut novel by former Oni editor-in-chief Jamie S. Rich is finally back in print. Featuring illustrations by Scott Morse, Andi Watson, Judd Winick, Renee French, and Chynna Clugston. Cover by Mike Allred (X-Statix). Co-published by Crazyfish/MJ-12.
Willamette Week:
"[A] lyrical elegy to lost youth, the death of modern rock, and the search for something authentic....Rich's novel is full of excellent, spare writing....He lingers over beautifully rendered character descriptions, making even the most ancillary figures vital and relevant....Rich's biggest accomplishment is in capturing an era that ended so softly that many are still wondering how it faded away."
"It's beloved by those lucky enough to have heard about it... Very highly recommended."
"This is a terrific "coming of age" story that reminds me of Nick Hornby's work. It's honest and raw and incredibly gripping, and well worth a read."

Podcast: How a $1,000 Loan Ballooned into a $40,000 Debt
When Naya Burks was strapped for cash five years ago, she borrowed $1,000 from AmeriCash Loans at an enormously high annual interest rate of 240 percent. It wasn't long before she defaulted on payments and AmeriCash took the opportunity to sue her – ultimately garnishing more than $5,300 from Burks' paychecks while the loan continued to grow at the original 240 percent APR into a $40,000 debt.
ProPublica's Paul Kiel and Steve Engelberg explain that it's become common business practice for high-cost lenders to sue their customers; some states even charge borrowers the cost of suing them. And even when borrowers pay back their loan several times over, as in Burks' case, they can still find themselves stuck as debtors for life – what one judge called a sort of "indentured servitude."
"The idea that not only do you take out a loan that's incredibly costly but there are cases in these states that I write about [where] that means that loan is always with you; even if you default, they can go to court," Kiel said. "It'll continue to grow at the high interest rate that you borrowed at…you'll never be free of it, even if you're making payments."

What is wrong with us that we allow the dollar to override all values of human decency. It is all shocking in so many arenas, and even the courts supporting this kind of madness.
Why don't the laws of usury apply in these cases. It's astonishing to me. What is happening in the contracts that this law can be overridden? Even if the person agrees to this percentage rate, there are laws against it.
Capitalism creates such sad and unfriendly outcomes unless it is regulated in an apolitical manner. Unfortunately, the regulators and regulations of the past forty years have been unfairly influenced by political donors who have sought 'deregulation' under a Libertine philosophy that 'the free market will take care of it'. The fact is, regulation is needed and consumers clearly need protections from such usurious interest rates.
"Capitalism" has been hijacked and turned into something very different from "American Capitalism" as it once was. Now it's integrated into the "Best political system that money can buy". Read "Extortion" by Peter Schweizer.
When I was a kid the government called this "loan sharking," and the folks who engaged in this activity were locked up and called "mobsters."
Today these croo…er… business folks don't need the tools of yesterday, like baseball bats, lead pipes, and handguns. Today the government not only condones these practices, but today plays the role of what we used to call "enforcers."
This is strange. Here in Texas, when you go to court and get a judgment, it's for the amount of the loan plus accrued interest. After that, the judgment amount accrues interest at 8% annually. But the original loan interest doesn't apply anymore, since the loan is considered defaulted and has had a judgment entered. So I find this very strange that the original interest rate is being applied even after they went to court and got a judgment!
Why don't equitable remedies apply? Why can't the judge apply legal doctrines like unconcionability to cut off the lender's ability to enforce the contract's interest rate? A 240 percent interest rate and a lifetime of garnished wages are punitive and shouldn't be enforced, IMHO.

EQ I.Q.: A Quick Primer
By Shure Notes Editors, Contributors: John Chevalier and John Mills In its simplest definition: Equalization involves selectively boosting or cutting bands of frequencies to improve the performance of a sound reinforcement system. Like many other audio technologies, EQ was born in telecommunications, where filters were used to restore and flatten all frequencies, so that response to all frequencies would be equal – hence the label "equalization". Hollywood came on board in the early 1930s with the emergency of 'talkies', but it wasn't until the late 1950s and early 1960s that Texas academics in the field …

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - State Senator Joe Leibham, of Sheboygan, is continuing to mull a possible run for the 6th District Congressional seat to be vacated by Tom Petri. Petri officially announced Monday he will not seek re-election in November. When word leaked out last Friday, Leibham said he was considering entering the race. He issued a statement Monday night, saying that he received a tremendous outpouring of support and encouragement over the weekend and expects to announce a decision in the next couple of days. State Senator Glenn Grothman, of West Bend, who also represents a portion of Sheboygan County, announced earlier this month he will run for the post.

Every one knows Illinois' financial condition is terrible.
Companies are leaving the state. Who has been in control of the state for the last several years? Mike Madigan. If you want the Chicago Democratic Party running the state with more of the same failed policies, vote Democrat, if you want to start to see change vote Republican.
This goes for the county, as well, and the federal government. We were promised "hope and change." We got lots of change most of which was not for the good and not much hope.
If you vote Republican, will all of the problems go away immediately? No! Will the economic situation change? Yes! We can look back on the last for years and see what we have to look forward to if we don't make a change. If you want to know where the companies are going, look to Texas and ask yourself why.
If you look back four years ago you will remember every one was talking about the problems with Social Security and Medicare.
Have the president and Democrats put forth legislation to fix the problems? No.What did they do? They passed Obamacare. How are they going to pay for part of it? Take money away from Social Security.

Solid Compression Knee-High Stockings 86 91
Awesome Stockings I purchased these stockings based on previous reviews because I am going to Ireland this year and will be in the air for a good while. The few times I have flown before had not resulted in swollen ankles, but the last time I flew I was in the air for about 4-5 hours and when I touched land I discovered I had swollen feet and legs for a few days. This put a damper on my choice of shoes for sure! Since I am the type of person to research all aspects of my upcoming trip to Ireland, this was definitely on my mind. I Googled "compression stockings for travel" and TravelSmith popped up. I now am a fan of TravelSmith and have purchased a few more items. Back to the stockings...I have not worn them on my travel to Ireland, but I have been wearing them at work as I am on my feet most of the time and also walk about 4-5 miles each day at work. After wearing them, I have discovered that my legs are very happy and not as tired as they are without them. I will probably purchase more for work and looking forward to wearing them on my flight to Ireland. One suggestion-I wish they came in more colors and designs. March 21, 2011
compression hose that look decent Let's face it: compression hose are not all that attractive. These, however, were available in black plus 2 other neutral shades. Black works for me all the time, so I ordered 3 pair. The price is decent for the quality and about what the are in the stores or online. They went on easily with my chosen apparatus, were comfortable, and seem to fit true to size. I hope that with hand washing they last a decent length of time. Recommended. September 3, 2014
Great product! I bought these for my mother who is a nurse and she loves them! She finds that her feet do not swell or feel tired after a long shift when she wears these socks. Great product! August 20, 2014
This is my first pair of compression stockings and so far I'm very impressed with them. August 7, 2014
I was uneasy about this product Never worn this type of hose before. They are comfortable and attractive. I would recommend these to anyone. August 1, 2014
Good for air travel, nice enough for dinner out I own two pair of these hose and like them very much, far better then the same style from another company. The first pair has logged several continents and are still serviceable. I began using compression socks during flights to reduce swelling in my ankles. What I particularly like about these compression stockings is that they have a very nice silky hand and are somewhat sheer with a nice sheen to them. I discovered that I could wear them with longer skirts and pants with a nice pair of travel shoes for going out. They are not quite the same as a dress hose but far nicer than an ordinary sock! I did find their limit though. When I was in Scotland hill walking, because my other socks were wet, I tried them as liner socks under hiking socks. The silky texture had me slipping and sliding around in my hiking boots much the the amusement of my family who found it hilarious. September 23, 2010
Worth the price I purchased these to help with a long flight to Europe to help ease my swollen feet. The sizing was very accurate-and as a plus size woman i was worried that the 1x would not be large enough for my calf. The hose fit well, worked wonders at keeping my legs/feet from swelling during the long flight. I was worried they would be too hot or constricting to wear for a long time but they were very comfortable. The price was very reasonalbe as compared to other compression hose online. May 19, 2011
Not contoured enough I bought 2 pairs of these, size L, in anticipation of several long flights. They work very well and really do a good job keeping down swelling and providing support. I even wore them during days I was on my feet a lot. However, it seemed the foot portion is not contoured enough, resulting in folds or excess fabric at the instep (front of the ankle). There is a slight curve to indicate the heel pocket, but the opposite side of that isn't curved enough to fit without leaving grooves in my skin. Readjusting the hose didn't help. I don't believe I ordered the wrong size, since the size L fits shoe size 8-10 and calf circumference up to 17", which is my range. September 30, 2011

Reasons To Believe
1. Leader of the Pride - Calvin Johnson showed everyone last season why he is the best wide receiver in all of football. After scoring eight touchdowns in the first four games, Megatron went on to finish the year with 96 receptions, 1,681 yards and 16 touchdowns. Johnson is part of a deep corps of receivers that includes veteran Nate Burleson, budding star Titus Young, as well as two above average tight ends in Brandon Pettigrew and Tony Scheffler.
2. Hungry Lions - The defensive line in Detroit rivals that of the Giants as Ndamukong Suh, Kyle Vanden Bosch, Cliff Avril, Nick Fairley, Corey Williams and company are unrelenting in their pursuit of quarterbacks. The pressure they present up front makes up for some of the teams deficiencies in their secondary and allows them to be particularly dangerous with a lead.
3. Continuity Counts - The Lions didn't make many moves this off-season, something that can been interpreted in different ways. As a young team on the rise, management is likely content with the team's performance last season and hoping that with another year of experience under their belts, they can make an even deeper playoff push. The majority of the Lions' stars are under the age of 26 (Johnson, Stafford, Suh, Avril) and should continue to develop in 2012.
Reasons To Doubt
1. Can't Stop The Pass - As the 22nd ranked pass defence, there is plenty of room for improvement in Detroit's secondary. Eric Wright departed in free agency, leaving Chris Houston as the lone incumbent. Rookie Dwight Bentley is competing with veterans Jacob Lacey and Alphonso Smith for the right to start across from Houston. If the Lions are going to beat teams like the Packers and Saints, they will need better play from their corners.
2. Failure to Run - Jahvid Best still hasn't been cleared to practice and head coach Jim Schwartz has said that the injury is more week-to-week than day-to-day. There are now doubts that Best will return at all this season. Mikel Leshoure missed his rookie season with a torn Achilles and is now dealing with a hamstring issue. Leshoure will also miss the first two games of the season due to a suspension after he was cited twice in the off-season for marijuana possession. That leaves Kevin Smith as the Week 1 starter, a player who wasn't even in football a year ago.
3. Running Lanes - Regardless of who lines up in the backfield, the Lions offence struggled to open holes for their tailbacks a year ago and may be in a similar situation this season. In place of a rushing attack, Detroit implemented a short passing game that was effective in 2011, but it caused problems late in games when they were they were leading and looking to run the clock out. The Lions may add a veteran back like Ryan Grant to the mix, however the line will need to answer the call if the team is going to return to the playoffs.
What To Expect
The Lions have the misfortune of being in a division with the Packers and Bears, two playoff contenders. Their roster has the elements of a contender, but they will need everything to fall in their favour to reach the NFC championship. If Johnson avoids the Madden curse and Stafford stays upright, Detroit will have a chance at repeating their 10-win season. The more likely scenario is a small regression this year, as the young Lions learn how to contend for a title.

This time, however, members of the community bravely stepped in to help thwart the robbers' efforts long enough for the Stanislaus County Sheriff's to make an arrest in the case.
The assailants in Thursday afternoon's robbery were described as being two African American males, one standing at 5'10", the other described at 6'3", both wearing masks, and both brandishing a pair of fire arms.
Patterson Senior Center employee Myrna Rosas was cashing a check at the bank located inside of the Save Mart store when the two men came in screaming at employees, pointing their pistols at people, ordering people to get down on the ground and demanding money from bank employees. One assailant was witnessed jumping the counter of the bank, dropping a bank computer and telephone in the process.
"My legs started shaking. I was crying, fearing for my life. I never expected this," Rosas said immediately following the incident, adding that the robbery lasted only four minutes.
Another person in the store was witnessed as passing out from the harrowing scene.
"Everyone's kind of shook up right now," a Save Mart assistant manager, who wished not to have his name printed, said while members of the Stanislaus County Sheriff's department were interviewing witnesses.
According to the assistant manager, a Good Samaritan who was witnessing the incident pulled the ignition key out of the robbers' get away vehicle while it was parked just outside of the entrance to Save Mart and the Wells Fargo.
When the assailants returned to the vehicle, which was a stolen green Honda Accord, they were witnessed looking at each other from inside the vehicle, baffled that their plans to drive away had been thwarted.
The two masked gunmen were then witnessed fleeing the scene on foot and into the Heartland Ranch housing development directly to the west of the shopping center with employees of the Save Mart store allegedly reported as chasing behind them.
"The community is the one that got them good," the assistant manager later said.
The confusion added to the robbers' plan gave enough time for members of the Stanislaus County Sheriff's department to cordon off the Heartland Ranch neighborhood, eventually arresting one suspect on the 1,000 block of Marsh Wren.
Jose Valadez, 33, was arrested for felony robbery, felony theft or extortion involving a motor vehicle, felony second degree burglary, felony possession of a short barreled rifle, and misdemeanor conspiracy to commit a crime.
Roadways surrounding the neighborhood were blocked by patrol cruisers, including CHP, as well as a few City of Patterson vehicles.
A Stanislaus County Sheriff's helicopter was also called in to help with the search.
Residents within the area were told to stay inside of their homes for over an hour while the search was conducted.
"This is normally a really nice neighborhood," Bullfinch resident Lindy Brandon Silva said while the Sheriff's helicopter circled over head. " But there were cops in my backyard, on the street, poking their heads over fences."
Aside from putting one suspect into custody, the search by the Sheriff's also recovered the stolen cash, a pair of weapons, and clothing that had been either stashed, or dropped, next to a home along the 1,000 block of Pipit Drive, according to Patterson Police Chief Tori Hughes.
As of Friday morning, no new leads or arrests in the case had come about, according to Sheriff's Sergeant Paul Yotsuya.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Find it at the Library: Catalog
Summary:One of the best loved stories of all time. At the age of eight, Scout Finch is an entrenched free-thinker. She can accept her father's warning that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird, because mockingbirds harm no one and give great pleasure. The benefits said to be gained from going to school and keeping her temper elude her. The place of this enchanting, intensely moving story is Maycomb, Alabama. The time is the Depression, but Scout and her brother, Jem, are seldom depressed. They have appalling gifts for entertaining themselves—appalling, that is, to almost everyone except their wise lawyer father, Atticus. Atticus is a man of unfaltering good will and humor, and partly because of this, the children become involved in some disturbing adult mysteries: fascinating Boo Radley, who never leaves his house; the terrible temper of Mrs. Dubose down the street; the fine distinctions that make the Finch family "quality"; the forces that cause the people of Maycomb to show compassion in one crisis and unreasoning cruelty in another. Also because Atticus is what he is, and because he lives where he does, he and his children are plunged into a conflict that indelibly marks their lives—and gives Scout some basis for thinking she knows just about as much about the world as she needs to.

After fielding months of complaints over the condition of the Interscholastic League Stadium, Kansas City Public Schools unveiled the new updated football field Friday night.
The renovations for the stadium, located at 3500 E. Meyer Blvd. in Kansas City, MO, was a long time coming, but players and the parents of players all say it was worth the wait.
"I love the stadium. It's beautiful. It's much better than it was before they fixed it up," said Melanie Parker.
It was high praise from the mother of East High School Lineman Jeremiah Parker, No. 77, over the newly-renovated Interscholastic League Stadium.
"The last time I was here we sat over on this side. It was dark. The board wasn't working," Melanie Parker said. "The field was just raggedy, but now it's much better and he looks good out there."
The project took at least eight months and cost about $5 million. Included in the price tag was new turf, a new track, a new scoreboard and new locker rooms. KCPS Athletic Director Michael Watson said it was money well-spent.
"It's another thing that we're doing to increase student achievement having a good athletic facility like this is one of those pillars," he said.
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Local Initiatives Corporation chipped in $200,000 toward the project with the rest of the money coming out of the school's budget.
"We have a place where the past, present and future can come together and enjoy and celebrate a home we built for each other," said Kevon Graves, a football player for Northeast High School.
Superintendent R. Stephen Green; LISC Executive Director Stephen Samuels and Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker and current Director of Special Events Gary Spani and students were involved in the 30-minute event.
Other Chiefs personalities were also on hand.
"Safe playing fields are a critical part of LISC's efforts to create sustainable communities - places where people want to live, work and raise families," said Samuels. "We have been hopeful to improve this field for many years. Thanks to the NFL, the NFLPA, and most especially the Kansas City Chiefs, we are not only creating a place for young people to compete in football and other sports, we are also helping create A community and making our neighborhoods better and stronger."
"This award shows what's possible when corporate citizens and our school system partner to increase student achievement," Green said. "This grant will allow our athletics program to better maintain their new facility and keep it safe and beautiful for the community. KCPS is grateful for the support."
The stadium is used by eight different Kansas City high schools and Watson said the track may also be used by some area colleges for practices.

Adobe has discontinued 64-bit Flash 10.1 development for Linux stating that significant architectural changes were being made to the plugin that would add improved security.
"We are fully committed to bringing native 64-bit Flash Player for the desktop by providing native support for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux 64-bit platforms in an upcoming major release of Flash Player," Adobe wrote on their Adobe Labs site.
The 64-bit plugin was first made available for testing two years ago, but a finished, official 64-bit plugin never materialized. It's uncertain what caused this setback at Adobe, but speculation points to Adobe's focus on Flash 10.1.
Adobe gave no timetable for when it would begin development (or redevelopment) on a 64-bit plugin.

64bit flash on linux was trash anywayI've always thought the native 64bit flash for linux was an extremely poor product. I've always used ia32 libs and 32bit flash since I switched all my systems to 64bit O.S.'s (mostly debian)

ORILLIA - The jury is out on whether the police services board will study the impact of surveillance cameras on privacy before the system is up and running in the downtown.
Orillia OPP detachment commander Malcolm Quigley said the issue hinges on the question of whether "an individual's privacy outweighs public safety."
"The greater whole should outweigh an individual's rights," said Quigley, suggesting the board seek an opinion from the OPP.
The board is debating whether to have a consultant conduct a privacy impact assessment prior to surveillance cameras being mounted in the city's core.
Monitoring equipment would be located in the board's office at the local detachment, with the potential for another viewing screen to be situated elsewhere in the detachment.
Board member Coun. Patrick Kehoe supported the call for an opinion from the OPP, saying the issue raises a host of questions.
"How long do we keep the tape, how are they used, that sort of thing," he added. "These are issues and questions that need to be answered."
Ralph Cipolla suggested the board follow an existing city policy dealing with privacy issues, rather than crafting one from scratch.
"If we follow that criteria, I'm not sure we need to spend the $20,000 to do (an assessment)," he added.
A 2002 review of video surveillance programs in five communities found policies that fell short of guidelines recommended by the Information and Privacy Commission.
Concerns included an absence of signage advising the public of the program and a lack of secure storage of videotapes.
The privacy commissioner's guidelines for surveillance cameras in public places states that an assessment "should be conducted on the effects that the proposed video surveillance system may have on personal privacy, and the ways in which any adverse effects can be mitigated by examining the collection use, disclosure and retention of personal information."
Orillia's police services board agreed to seek an opinion from the OPP on the need for a privacy impact assessment.
"The public needs to know that we are being responsible with this," Kehoe added. "This is not a case of Big Brother watching, this is a case of us watching out for their safety."

People who have depended on Calhoun Memorial for medical care are disappointed, Friday.
One former patient told us he was taken there for an emergency visit once and he's not sure he would be here today if the hospital hadn't been there for him.
He says the nearest hospitals are now in Albany or Blakely and it's difficult for many people to make that trip.
"Well without a hospital here it can be a tragedy for a lot of people because a lot of people don't have the transportation to drive a certain distance, so it'll be a big tragedy for that to happen," said L.B. Ingram
Some people say they'll just pray they don't have an emergency which requires immediate medical treatment.

Credit union growth depends upon meeting the needs of future members. Learn five ways to capture those opportunities.
Outstanding female executives recognized as Credit Union Times' Women to Watch gathered on Feb. 23 in Washington.
Generally speaking, while women are avid users of technology, they tend to be underrepresented in the field.
These credit union leaders are taking a byte out of the stereotypes and making their mark in the credit union technology space.
An inquisitive nature and pursuit of answers to the simple question "why?" has helped lead Heather Lally, vice president of operations at Alliant Credit Union, to her dream job.
Concierge banking is usually for the rich and famous at the high-end banks. Alamo Federal Credit Union doesn't see it that way. They want their members to feel pampered and taken care of. Alamo FCU is going the extra mile to take members beyond satisfaction to elation–literally.
A Texas credit union makes house calls while an Alabama credit union helps turn trash into treasure.
While you can't predict the future, Wanda Chambers, senior vice president of payment services at Suncoast Schools Federal Credit Union, believes in being prepared for it.
An in-depth look - complete with videos - at the Women to Watch selected for their support of the credit union industry.
Now we shine the spotlight on those women who have been tirelessly dedicated to providing support to credit unions.

Restoration Shaman Healing Macros and Addons (MoP 5.4)
Macros and addons are an integral part of a raider's arsenal as they can make it easier to perform a variety of tasks, improving your overall game experience. On this page, we present macros and addons that can be useful to a Restoration Shaman in World of Warcraft MoP 5.4.
The other pages of our Restoration Shaman guide can be accessed from the table of contents on the right.
For 10-man raiding, this guide has been reviewed and approved by Zetian, who raids in MCO, one of the most efficient 10-man guilds in the world (top 100 with a 13-hour a week schedule).
For 25-man raiding, this guide has been reviewed and approved by Sonie, one of the best Restoration Shamans in the world, who raids in Method. You can watch his stream on Twitch.
1. Macros↑top
1.1. Generic Macros for Shamans
1.1.1. Wind Shear
- #showtooltip
- /stopcasting
- /cast [@focus,exists][@target] Wind Shear
This macro casts Wind Shear at your focus, if you have one. Otherwise, Wind Shear is cast at your current target.
1.1.2. Purge
- #showtooltip
- /stopcasting
- /cast [@focus,exists][@target] Purge
This macro for Purge works in the same way as the above macro for Wind Shear.
1.1.3. Hex
- #showtooltip Hex
- /clearfocus [modifier:alt]
- /focus [@focus,noexists]
- /cast [@focus,exists][@target,exists] Hex
- /y Casting Hex on %F
This macro casts Hex on your focus or your current target. The first time you use this macro, the focus is set on your current target (if it is an enemy). Subsequent uses of the macro will keep casting Hex on your focus, unless you press alt (or whatever modifier you specify in the second line of the macro), in which case, the macro will set the focus on your current target before casting Hex on it.
To sum it up, use the macro to keep your assignment controlled and press alt while using the macro to cast Hex on a new enemy.
Note that this macro will slightly interfere with the Wind Shear and Purge macros given earlier. If you try to use one of these two macros, it will result in the spell being cast on your hexed target (which is your current focus). In such cases, use a simpler macro for Wind Shear and Purge that casts the spells at your current target.
1.1.4. Bind Elemental
- #showtooltip Bind Elemental
- /clearfocus [modifier:alt]
- /focus [@focus,noexists]
- /cast [@focus,exists][@target,exists] Bind Elemental
- /y Casting Bind Elemental on %F
This macro works in the same way as the above macro for Hex.
1.2. Specific Macros for Restoration Shamans
1.2.1. Mouseover Macros
For all your direct heals ( Healing Wave, Greater Healing Wave, Healing Surge, Riptide, Earth Shield, and Chain Heal), we advise you to use mouseover macros such as:
- #showtooltip
- /cast [@mouseover] Healing Wave
With a more complicate macro, you can cover every targeting possibility: mouseover, target, target of target, or yourself.
- #showtooltip
- /cast [@mouseover,help][@target,help][@targettarget,help][] Healing Wave
1.2.2. Ancestral Swiftness
- #showtooltip Greater Healing Wave
- /cast Ancestral Swiftness
- /cast [@mouseover] Greater Healing Wave
This macro will cast an instant Greater Healing Wave by first activating Ancestral Swiftness. Naturally, it can be made more complex to cover additional targeting possibilities, as explained above.
1.2.3. Primal Elementalist
- #showtooltip Greater Healing Wave
- /script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE")
- /cast Reinforce
- /cast Empower
- /cast [@mouseover,exists][@target,exists][@player] Greater Healing Wave
You can make macros such as the one above for all your healing spells, to make sure that when your Elementals are out, you will have 100% uptime on their buff.
1.2.4. Elemental Mastery and Healing Tide Totem
- #showtooltip Healing Tide Totem
- /cast Elemental Mastery
- /cast Healing Tide Totem
By using Elemental Mastery together with Healing Tide Totem, you will gain an additional tick of Healing Tide Totem.
2. Addons↑top
2.1. Generic Addons for Shamans
2.1.1. ElvUI
Here, at Icy Veins, we use ElvUI for all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the default User Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly: action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.
We strongly recommend that you get this addon.
2.1.2. Boss Mods: Deadly Boss Mods or Bigwigs
Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give you live advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you to get one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly use Deadly Boss Mods, the most popular boss mod. A good alternative is Big Wigs.
2.1.3. Parrot or Mik's Scrolling Battle Text
Parrot and Mik's Scrolling Battle Text are highly customisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incoming heals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.
2.1.4. Recount
Recount is a well known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS (Healing Per Second). We advise you to also use it for checking what you take damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of your abilities is similar to that of other players of your class.
A lightweight alternative to Recount is Skada Damage Meter.
2.1.5. Weak Auras
WeakAuras is an extremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen, helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisable and it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play your spec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of other functions.
2.1.6. Grid and GridClickSets (Optional)
ElvUI comes with decent raid frames. The only real reason for using Grid and GridClickSets is if you want to be able to decurse raid or party members (with Cleanse Spirit) by right clicking their frame in the raid of party frame. If you choose to go with Grid, then you might want to also use GridStatusRaidDebuff.
For Restoration Shamans, Grid can also be used to keep track of your Riptide on fellow raid and party members. Normally, you have nothing to set up. Grid will recognise that you are a Restoration Shaman and will automatically enable a status (small marker in the corner of unit frame) for Riptide. We advise you to only show this status for your own Riptide (by checking Show if mine, in Grid / Status / Auras / Buff: Riptide).
2.1.7. Shaman Friend
Shaman Friend is an addon that contains many useful tools for Shamans: proc tracking, shield tracking, etc.. It also makes it possible to efficiently use Blizzard's default frames.
2.2. Specific Addons for Restoration Shamans
2.2.1. Totem Timers
For keeping track of your Earth Shield, we advise you to use Totem Timers. Note that this addon can do a lot more than just that, but almost everything else it does is already provided by ElvUI or Grid.
2.2.2. Vuhdo
Vuhdo is a very complete addon that you can use to replace Grid and Totem Timer. It is also said to consume less resources than Grid and Totem Timer.

Step 85: Maintain a clean fridge for 30 days
In the past few weeks, I reorganized Chernobyl Closet and got everything out from under my bed. I have tamed the wild and lawless parts of my apartment … except the refrigerator.
True confession: Sometimes, after I have let something go really bad in the fridge, I just throw out the Tupperware rather than deal with it. I KNOW. I know this is the worst thing I could do. But it is something that I do, sometimes. And this is not adulting in any way, shape or form.
So I'm going to get my fridge shipshape and Bristol fashion. And then keep it that way for 30 days. Let's not get too crazy here; I can't commit to always having a clean fridge. But I can for 30 days. Aiding me in this quest will be StillTasty.com, which is an amaaazing guide to the shelf life of every single kind of food in the world. Like, how long will fresh, raw organic apples stay good in the freezer? StillTasty knows!
Except … I'm going to embark on this tomorrow, since I'm kinda hungover from a Halloween party and that is not very conducive to fridge cleaning.

Collins Talks Beltran, Pagan, and Ollie
This afternoon at Digital Domain Park, Terry Collins spoke with reporters, and said he intends to meet with Carlos Beltran on Saturday, after he reports to camp. In either case, Beltran will be given the opportunity to show he's healthy and able to play center, at which point Collins will make a decision.
He also said that, while it is fine for position players to report to camp this weekend, as are the rules, he would have preferred to see them arrive earlier, such as Luis Castillo, about whom he said:
"I was hoping he would be here, just so I can get the conversation over. … I'm a real believer in sending a message to the organization as a player. I thought Johan Santana did that yesterday. I thought he sent a message to everybody on that team that I'm behind you."
Meanwhile, Oliver Perez has been promised a shot at being in the rotation by Collins and Sandy Alderson, and, if he doesn't make it, Perez agreed he will go to the bullpen.
Lastly, in order to win this year, Collins said he might need "big seasons from unexpected sources," such as Chris Young.

Sounds Like Tanny pitching a bid for a new management job.
Thx for all the support Twitter Family! I'm back in G&W and the SOA will be rolling! Don't forget Rex is the Man!
The bottom line is that Mike Tannenbaum was a disaster as a GM, especially when you factor in that his owner [Johnson] basically gave him an open check book to sign guys. He was profligate with the owner's money, that's for sure.
And how did he ever get a reputation as an expert on the 'cap.?' He demonstrated precious little restraint and created huge cap problems signing guys, i.e., Sanchez, to enormous contracts without wiggle room to get out of those contract commitments. I, to be frank, would have been much more cautious in throwing money around like he did. He seemed not to look ahead very much in terms of the long-term cap situation.
I didn't understand why Tannenbaum operated in such a reckless manner until it dawned on me he -- probably with a Ryan chumping at the bit to sign guys right now -- thought that a championship was very, very close, and somehow figured the Jets were only a player or two away. So, he -- and Ryan -- went for broke, literally. That belief destroyed him
One more thing: All this 'chatter' about Tannenbaum being the villain in all these bad draft choices. I don't think it was his call -- choosing players. He's not a personnel guy, so he probably only OK'ed options presented by Ryan, scouts, the real football guys; Tannenbaum didn't make the first move, and say, 'that one's the guy I like,' As I said, the 'football' guys did that. That's a very difficult job skill, and takes years to develop. He probably couldn't pick out on a field a mediocre, say, offensive tackle from a very good one -- that was never his function. So, even though I thought he was an absolute failure as a GM, I can't fault him for the bad Jet draft picks. Rex Ryan and his scout team are mostly at fault for that.

Ummm..... what about the wide receivers and running backs at the top end of the roster? Or quarterback?
Oh great. Livefyre is holding back a post with Steiny's tweet in it because why not? I shouldn't be allowed to post a TJB contributor's tweet about a Jets coach, that makes sense.
Anyway, Steiny just tweeted that Dunbar is back. Good news.
Just heard Coach Dunbar is back!!! Fantastic news. @Kcoach99 #WeKeptKarl
I wish we still had Tanny we would be selling the farm for Bridgewater!! :)
Do we still need analysis from Tannenbaum on his seven year run? Can he just please move on to the next chapter in his life already instead of constantly re-analyzing his time here in New York?
This is like the third time this quote was posted on this site.
Tanny made a big mistake, by forgetting about the O-line, at times. The games are won up front. Our D-line is serious. Now, we need to upgrade the O-line. Colon is coming back off surgery. We need to pick up two solid guards, before the season starts. Let Winters and Vlad back up and we have some inexpensive depth. By giving D'Brick some help on his side of the line, we will be able to tell if he is still solid or if we have to upgrade in 2015. I would try to steal a solid veteran away and add one of the top prospects in the draft. We need some road graders!
Almost, if not, every re-draft of the 2013 draft has Sheldon Richardson going number 1 overall, yet there's still doubt about him winning DROY lol. PFWA already gave it to Kiko, AP's next to go. Smh
Also hearing that #Jets DC Dennis Thurman and DL coach Karl Dunbar are re-signing, if they haven't already. Dunbar a key for young DL.
Per Rich Cimini
Also hearing that #Jets DC Dennis Thurman and DL coach Karl Dunbar are re-signing, if they haven't already. Dunbar a key for young DL.
I think Rex is looking for more than a puppet for DC, so he can concentrate more on the entire team.
The Jets tried to interview Haslett? I guess they are not happy with Thurman.
T depleted the team over the years by giving away picks for overpriced and older FAS trying to hit the home run. Aside from a top player here and there, he forgot about mid level talent and the team wasted away and it caught up. In my book one of the biggest knocks on T was failure to develop Sanchez with providing talent around him and not supporting their huge investment. The writing was clear that with a solid supporting cast around him, Sanchez even as a rookie took the team to two AFC playoff games, but in 2011 the offense was decimated and many true leaders were let go. It is logical to assume that if Sanchez got that far as a rookie, that if the supporting cast was at least maintained and was not decimated, and that combined with Sanchez gaining experience, that a possible SB could have been in sight. Instead T gave out a ridiculous contract to Sanchez but did not back Sanchez with the resources to succeed and actually went in reverse with failing to address the offense, and all the head games, with Tebow and other nonsense. No legit organization would give out a huge contract to their qb, and then fail to build around and support him. We all seen what a horrid offense does to qbs. Lets just hope the Jets learn from this and give Geno what he needs to succeed and learn from past mistakes....if you dont have an elite qb, you do the next best thing and that is build around what you have and give them weapons and a solid line that they need to succeed, HELLO!!!!!! Take a look at the last few SB teams and they all have a very solid offense with play makers, that simple. Most of the qbs having an offense like the jets have had the last few years would not go far. When Kerley is your best wr option and he would be the only starter from the jets offense on another team, that speaks volumes. Anyway, hopefully the Jets will have learned and give the offense and Geno some legit weapons as that is imperative for success and any chance at a run.
This guy Tannenbaum missed on every QB he ever drafted......but he scapegoats Tebow. How convenient.....
Kellen Clemens (round 2)
Mark Sanchez (round 1...5th overall pick who he gave away picks to get)
Eric Ainge (who cares)
Greg McElroy
I am sure I am forgetting somebody......
2nd round picks (Vlad and Hill)
Lets not forget Gholston......
How about if Tannenbaum MAN'S UP and takes all of the blame himself.....instead of just scapegoating it on Tebow.......
Tebow was on the Pats this year and last I checked their GM still has a job
@Joan Israel
There is no way Rex a first time coach is making the personnel decisions. Also the huge Sanchez contract was dictated by where he was drafted. The extension was a mistake that made no sense. Moving up and drafting a QB didn't work out but that it wasn't really reckless. The lower pay that draft picks make now kind of eliminates a lot of that problem.
@Joan Israel in 09 and 2010 Jets where built to win now, all the eggs where put in one basket, when the Jets did not win it all there was the aftermath of trading drafting picks for veterans and going over the cap that had to be cleaned up, that's life, I personally would rather build the team through the draft through player development if you're lucky enough to have good coaches that will develop good players.
@Joan Israel Jim -
I'm afraid I don't agree with this take at all. It's too close to the media portrayal and too far removed from reality.
Woody has given every GM the same "blank check book" to spend as he has always spent up to the cap throughout his time as an owner. That didn't mean the GM had unlimited spending potential because they were still constrained by the salary cap itself and also, in Tannenbaum's case, the final eight plan in 2010. Let's also remember that in his first year as GM Tannenbaum inherited Bradway's mess with the Jets in a far worse state than Tannenbaum left them in - $25m over the cap.
His reputation as a cap expert is ill-informed because people constantly gave him credit for stuff that everyone does. However, he has come up with some revolutionary things in the past and every time the media said they had cap issues, they were just plain wrong. They always maintained the flexibility to put a competitive team on the field, even in the year when he left. How do we know this? Because Idzik DID PUT a competitive team on the field even though they were paying a few guys they underused because of wanting to play the rookies, even though they had several key injuries and even after trading away their best player in a move which WORSENED their cap situation in the short term. Idzik's approach to get the cap in order was to make a bunch of restructures which were planned by Tannenbaum and built into the contract deliberately, so Idzik just did exactly what Tannenbaum was going to do anyway.
Did Tannenbaum make the best use of the money he spent? No he did not - but they were poor personnel decisions and there was absolutely a flexible cap structure in place.
I'm not even defending Tannenbaum here, he didn't do a particularly good job and even when things were going well he was getting praise that wasn't really warranted. However, like the media, you're criticizing him for all the wrong things.
Yup, right on NFL network, Tanny admitted he failed Sanchez and he neglected the offense, I am just glad he is gone!!!!!!!! I just hope we learn from history or we are destined to repeat it. Build the OFFENSE!!!!!!! Give your QB weapons, you cant just keep changing QBS with a horrid supporting cast and expect to succeed!
Holy wall of text, Batman!
@bradysucks I know right. How did he ever last as long as he did? He never drafted any good players at all.
Bent, we agree to disagree. Your counterarguments are well taken. BUT, there's is no way I'll agree that Tannenbaum did a good job with the 'cap.' You don't think signing Sanchez to that ridiculous contract when he didn't have to was a good idea, and didn't harm the cap situation? It had to worsen it. Tannenbaum made other outrageous, irrational moves, i.e., signing Holmes to a $45 million contract, even though Pittsburgh basically threw him out, and he could have been had for much less. Crazy, or stupid: take your pick.
I will agree with you about Bradway leaving Tannenbaum a worse mess than even what Tannenbaum left Idzik.
I'll never ever be dislodged of my belief that Tannenbaum did a terrible job -- never. But, one mitigating factor is he really wasn't ever equipped to do the job of GM. I think you have to, these days, be in control of everything, especially personnel decisions. Tannenbaum was a numbers guy, and I think his deficiencies as a talent evaluator made him defer to an emotional Rex Ryan on talent issues. Idzik, I pray, can be an equal partner in evaluation.
Barry Switzer, of all people, once said of Jerry Jones' skill as a talent evaluator: 'The problem with Jerry is he can't pick out the bad ones.' What he meant was, say, when 20 pro prospects are running around on a field, if you're not a personnel person, you can't pick who's really good and who may just be good. They would all look like stars. Tannenbaum, I just know, didn't have that skill set.
Jim I
@jake100"you can't keep changing QB'S" Was that his problem? Tanny & Rex stayed with Sanchez for 4 YEARS based on the HOPE that he would develop despite evidence to the contrary. And now you want to do the same thing with Geno?
The lesson is to STOP running on hope, projection and excuses and start running on fact. Geno may develop in the future, but he is NOT an average NFL QB now. So you can surround him with more weapons, try to minimize his mistakes that will cost you games and hope to hide your lack of a fully capable QB, but you are doing the exact same thing that you did with Sanchez. You are fooling yourself because you awarded a position to someone who didn't have to compete for it and now you are stubbornly committing years to your hope.
Good teams don't award starting spots & stay with someone who was their only option at the time, years after they can import other options. Instead, after surviving a temporary, no choice fix they bring in other players the next year to improve the team. Then let the best player play and continue to try to develop the rest. You may not realize it, but you are committed to criticizing the Sanchez mistake while saying that they should repeat it.
@buckets He's been holding that "paste" in his pocket a long time waiting for a Tannenbaum article.
Tanny was not a good GM - He left the Jets in shambles
BS is a big Tebow fan......
Talent around a QB isn't going to help him read defenses better or increase his field vision or improve his footwork or increase his accuracy.
These are all things you can judge on any QB regardless of the situation and if a QB stinks in these areas............then he just stinks. no amount of talent will help that.
@jake100@frustjetfnMost fans point to the demise of talent around Sanchez after 2 years, but miss the point that Sanchez was part of the demise of talent on O. If you recall, the Jets tried to get Mark to understand game situations, read defenses, improve his techniques and QB skill set and failed. Remember the infamous color code system? Nothing helped b/c Mark could not develop so WHEN the tools around him got weaker his faults were obvious.
It proves you can't hide your QB, the most important position on the team, forever. One slip-up by the supporting cast is when QB talent is revealed. If the QB steps up and adjusts he has good instincts and may develop into a keeper, but if he repeatedly fails you should look elsewhere. Mechanics can be taught, instincts can't.
I think most Jet fans understand that the weak offense is what is holding the team back and needs the highest priority of attention. I could not count all the posts that reflect that, and that is exactly the meat of what my posts are about, that a qb can not take the team to next level without a solid and balanced offense. Lets just hope the Jets go full tilt in this deficient area and we will be fine.
The first two years Sanchez did well for a rookie with a solid team around him, so they had to stick with him then, then they decimated the offense in 2011, and still did nothing for it in 2012. 2013 also showed the scars of very weak offense. It was not sticking with Sanchez too long that was the problem, as the first two years he was exempt as a rookie and young QB, the problem was the deteriorating offense after that. Whether it was Sanchez, McElroy, Geno, Simms or whoever else, they need a competent offense with weapons to succeed. Our offense has had no playmakers and ranked in the low 20s the last 3 years. I dont care what qb you put in, they need a solid offense to succeed unless you hit on a brady and even he in the beginning of the year when he lost a couple of his main weapons sunk in the QB stats! Just look at the two teams that make it to the SB and you will see a very solid supporting cast around the qb with electric playmakers. Most QBS cant do it by themselves as that shows.
Good teams don't award starting spots & stay with someone who was their only option at the time, years after they can import other options.
Andy Dalton....
@frustjetfn @jake100
I agree, but to give your qb a chance the talent has to be there around him. What I meant by the changing qb remark is , unless you have an elite qb, the majority wont succeed behind a horrid supporting cast as we have seen.
You should re-watch the beatings the Fins and Pats gave us at home in 2012 and Rex's press conferences afterwards ......2012 Jets were the worst Jets team ever no matter what their record was.....and Tebow barely even played in 2012.....but lets blame the guy who was benched all year
Yeah, 6-10 is so terribly embarassing!
@bradysucks So you werent a fan when they went 1-15?
The 2012 Jets were the most embarrassing team EVER and I've never been as embarrassed as a Jets fan. Thank God Woody Johnson agreed and fired Tannenbaum
@bradysucks How many GMs lave their jobs with the team in great shape? And I disagree with this anyway. For a team that was recently left in shambles, the Jets are certainly in position to make great improvment next season.
That's a laughable assessment IMO.
Did you read the article?
Drafting Sanchez was his worst move.... Followed by Vlad and Hill
I don't think Tebow is a good QB but the point is Tannenbaum never found a good QB and Tebow was not the only QB he missed on
You are missing the context of his statement.
@bradysucks How was aquiring Tim Tebow not his worst move as GM? GMs miss on draft picks all of the time. We already knew that Tebow was both a terrible quarterback and distraction and yet aquired him anyway with little plan on how to use him.
I am just not dumb enough to scapegoat Tannenbaum's failure to draft a good QB in 10 years on just Tebow...

...These findings come from a poll released today by ORB, the British polling agency that has been tracking public opinion in Iraq since 2005. In conjunction with their Iraqi fieldwork agency a representative sample of 1,499 adults aged 18+ answered the following question: How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003 (ie as a result of violence rather than a natural death such as old age)?Answer: 1,220,580
Whatever one's opinion of its possible limitations, the 2006 Iraq mortality survey produced epidemiological evidence that coalition forces have failed to protect Iraqi civilians... If, for the sake of argument, the study is wrong and the number of Iraqi deaths is less than half the infamous figure, is it acceptable that "only" 300,000 have died? Last November, with no explanation, the Iraqi Ministry of Health suddenly began citing 150,000 dead, five times its previous estimate. Is that amount of death acceptable? In January, the United Nations reported that more than 34,000 Iraqis were killed violently in the last year alone. Is that acceptable?Regarding The Number, the result of what one of the study's authors calls an episode more deadly than the Rwandan genocide... [more within]
...Would it surprise you to learn that if the Johns Hopkins estimates of 400,000 to 800,000 deaths are correct -- and many experts in the survey field seem to suggest they probably are -- that the supposedly not-yet-civil-war in Iraq has already cost more lives, per capita, than our own Civil War (one in 40 of all Iraqis alive in 2003) ? And that these losses are comparable to what some European nations suffered in World War II ? You'd never know it from mainstream press coverage in the U.S. "Everybody knows the boat is leaking, everybody knows the captain lied," Leonard Cohen once sang. The question the new study raises: How many will go down with the ship, and will the press finally hold the captain fully accountable ?Iraqi Death Rate May Top Our Civil War -- But Will the Press Confirm It ?
The Language of Noncombatant Death - Perhaps, however, what the "incidents" have in common -- and what they really tell us about the war in Iraq (as in Vietnam long ago) -- is this: In both Haditha and Ishaqi, the dead were largely or all civilian noncombatants: an aged amputee in a wheelchair holding a Koran, small children, grandparents, students, women, and a random taxi driver all died... In modern wars, especially those conducted in part from the air (as both Iraq and Afghanistan have been), there's nothing "collateral" about civilian deaths. If anything, the "collateral deaths" are those of the combatants on any side. Civilian deaths are now the central fact, the very essence of war. Not seeing that means not seeing war.Collateral Damage: The "Incident at Haditha"

Amarok to Better Guard Against Potential Malware
To program an effective virus for Linux is fairly difficult. It's much easier to provide malware disguised as an add-on, however. The Amarok project now wants to protect against that.
Linux users are pretty easy going when it comes to Internet dangers, which can lead to trouble, as was recently revealed in an incident of malware disguised as a screensaver. It's easy to lean back and say, "well, it's your own fault that you downloaded a binary package without first looking at the source code." But the more Linux users there are, the higher the rate that programs are downloaded and installed without much forethought. Security tests may be available, but require a lot of work in view of the magnitude of uploads.
One of the first developers to address this problem is Mark Kretschmann, who recommended a solution for the KDE music player that other projects could also adopt. Even Amarok is an easy target for these attacks. The attacker needs just to disguise one as a "cool" add-on, which Kretschmann claims, for example, could completely wipe out your home directory.
He suggests, therefore, immediately using a version control system (VCS) for all scripts and add-ons. This might increase the entry barrier for prospective Amarok developers, but the detour through a VCS provides a better protection against what Kretschmann calls "crapware" scripts, because all programmers will then know that their code is being reviewed. The scripts in version control can then be downloaded via the Get Hot New Stuff (GHNS) framework in KDE, where additional security measures can be applied. Even if an author manages to inflict malware into the code, the suspect checking it in can still be traced.
Apart from guarding against malware, a mandatory VCS has the further benefit of removing "abandonware" (such as code that was forked and is no longer maintained) or giving it to someone else to maintain.

How To Organize Waste in a Small Kitchen
Sorting waste can be a real challenge in a small kitchen. First there's your basic trash, then there's recycling (co-mingled if you're lucky) and compost. Like most people, we didn't want to give up precious floor space for these bins, so we came up with a semi-custom and affordable solution.
Besides not having the space, I also didn't want to look at trash cans on a daily basis. The solution - convert the 36" wide sink cabinet into a waste sorting station! After researching different pull-out options, I found two different sizes from Rev-A-Shelf that fit in our cabinet and around our plumbing trap. (The system consists of a metal track that is screwed to the base of the cabinet, with plastic bins set into metal glides for easy in and out access.) We use the two smaller bins for compost and trash, and the two larger ones for recycling and dog food (another item that's hard to find a space for!). As an added bonus, because we decided not to install a garbage disposal and have pared down our cleaning supplies, the often awkward under-the-sink area is now an efficient use of space.
In addition to Rev-A-Shelf, Simple Human and IKEA make similar products that can easily be installed in an existing cabinet. (A word of advice - measure your space before you purchase. Since we have a deep sink, we were more limited in our options.)
1 Installed pull-out containers
2 Pull-out cans, $59.99-$69.99 from Simple Human
3 Rationell waste sorting bins, $3.99-$17.99, from IKEA
4 Rev-A-Shelf pull-out cans, $67.27 from Lowes.com

Maybe it's just where I live, but having a bin of cat food right next to the trash is an open invitation to ants and roaches. Has this been a problem.
(are the images/descriptions for 2 & 3 reversed?)
Most people with a small kitchen can't afford to give up cabinet space like this either! Great idea, but perhaps not realistic for many people!!
@rosebudrmm, I totally hear you and I think the reason it worked for us is because we were able to eliminate some of the typical things that get stored/installed under the sink.
Also, for the dog food we do have a lid that we can use if it gets to be a problem. (Fortunately, the only pests we usually have to deal with are fruit flies.)
I have the simple human pull out cans. On the down side they are small but having said that it does help me to recycle more because I have to avoid filling the trash side too quickly. I often tear cardboard boxes into small pieces so they take up less space in the recycle side.
@rosebudrmm, My kitchen is small and because it is a galley kitchen I am lacking floor space for a free standing trash can opposed to cabinet space. The inside cabinet trash/recycle is a huge space saver for me.
Not a good idea to store pet food in plastic containers. Pets can develop a major allergy to storage mites, plastic containers will speed up the production of these. Residual fats and oils that settle at the bottom and sides of the pet food storage bin can become rancid and contaminate fresh new food. Harmful chemicals from plastic pet food containers can seep into the dog food. Also, This increases the risk of mold growth, and bacterial contamination, leading to food poisoning, vomiting and/or bad diarrhea.
@ dlockwoodohio
Thanks for that information, I am currently storing dog food in a plastic container and having been looking for a better alternative, after reading your comments I will be looking for something that isn't plastic and also washing out the container each time it is emptied!
I have a small kitchen and don't like seeing or smelling garbage cas. I have lots of cabinet space and have a small trashcan plus plastic drawers for my recyclables underneath my sink. I can pull out the drawers and easily take them to my car when I make my recycling runs. Having a small trash can means more trips to the dumpster but also means less garbage hanging around.
Nice idea, and we're currently looking for a great storage option for our kitchen for trash and compost. But our 55-lb dog can also get into almost anything, which has made the process far more difficult. Still looking!
@subtlefrog have you looked into these?
they are meant to hold pet food without pets being able to get into them, but a smaller one would probably work for compost as well
How about lining the plastic container for the pet food? You could use a paper grocery store bag or something along that line. Or just purchase the size bag that fits into the plastic storage container. Problem solved! No additional expense.
To the OP, could I ask how you mounted these in a sink cabinet? I mean the 2 rails that would be closest to the middle of the cabinet, typically there is nothing vertical that you could use to bolt the rail to. Did the kit come with something or did you screw down a piece of wood??
@jess13, the rails mount to the "floor" of the cabinet, so no intermediate support is needed.
How are you handling the compost smell?
We have a pretty tiny kitchen, but luckily it's nice and square.
We have the trash/recycling next to the back door (it really doesn't smell since my husband takes it out almost daily..).
But - we had a problem going through kitchen towels since we try not to use paper towels. I got on of these:
and stuck one under the sink cabinet to toss dirty towels in. It keeps us a little bit more sane.
I have a small 7 gallon garbage can under the sink. No fancy pull-out system, though. I have a set of Ikea Dimpa bags and use the large short one for recyclables under the sink on the other side.
Compostables I toss in a small plastic bucket (large OxyClean container) I keep in my freezer. It really helps keep the trash from smelling. Also, freezing bursts some of the cell walls, which later helps the stuff compost faster.
We have a tiny kitchen, and couldn't sacrifice our cupboard space like this. We are lucky enough to have a laundry though, so the bins are in there.
I wonder if there's a solution that both hides away the garbage like this but ALSO lets you access the garbage when your hands are full. I hate our big, bulky can taking up floor space but really appreciate the step-open lid.
Another vote here for keeping the compost in the freezer - I'm in an apartment, so we do it out of necessity. Those big containers that spinach comes in (we eat a lot of spinach) are perfect b/c you can stack a few if needed.
When we head over to my parents house we dump everything into a brown paper bag and then throw the whole thing - bag & frozen compost - into their backyard bin. No smell, no mess.
i love this to no end. I briefly looked at an under sink storage, but we do have a garbage disposal. It never even occurred to me that there were smaller size bins/tracks available. We have a touchless can that we love (and scored at the thrift store), but it and the recycle bin are stored in front of the dishwasher. So they have to be moved every time I need to load/unload or need to use that counter space. Also, we have several useless cleaning supplies that are just taking up space.
FABULOUS idea!
This is a good idea. Generally the cabinet below the sink cannot be used other than to store cleaning supplies. Using this space as a waste sorting station is the best way to go for small spaces.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - One man was killed and another was injured in a shooting incident in Milwaukee.
It happened around 12:45 a.m. Sunday in a west side neighborhood.
Police said some kind of dispute caused the incident.
A 23-year-old man died, and a 20-year-old man was taken to a hospital with undisclosed injuries.
No arrests were made as of early Monday.
