Zoos in HOUMA
It's animal time in Houma, Louisiana and they are calling YOU!
For those families who LOVE those animal encounters, look no further than Houma because this The Pelican State city has plenty of them!
We have to start with zoos. These are the most iconic way to experience wildlife, and great to visit with children. They offer animal encounters, and kids can experience creatures from all across the globe.
Farms are a great alternative for a more hands-on experience with petting zoos and barnyard fun. Wildlife sanctuaries offer kids an invaluable lesson in conservation, and animal-specific attractions let kids really immerse themselves in their favorite creatures!
Whatever wildlife experience you choose with children, you know they will walk away filled with memories and knowledge that can't be replaced. They'll have a ROAR-ing time!

Love, Love, LOVE it!
This is exactly what I was looking for. The wood is high quality, and the size is perfect. It is truly a beautiful addition to my kitchen. I read all the reviews and knew the assembly was going to be a little tough. However, I took my time, organized the pieces, and read the instructions line-by-line. When the instructions weren't clear enough (several times), I watched the online videos...they were excellent help. It took this 62-year-old lady approximately 6 hours to complete the process with no other assistance. My only disappointment was with the top. It felt a little rough and pourous. I was concerned that a drop of cooking oil or wine might discolor the wood, so my husband sanded and polyurethaned the top. I would highly recommend doing this if you plan on actually using the cart for food prep or serving. It is now PERFECT!!Read More
This piece of furniture is gorgeous. Beautiful, well made, from quality hard woods. Took two of us 9 hours to put together. Not truly difficult to understand, but a lot of pieces to put together. Again, it is stunningly gorgeous, I cannot stress this enough, but it is a lot of work to put it together. On the plus side, the instructions are clear, if you need help, they have videos online, and customer service with Catskill Craftsmen is wonderful. Do not hesitate to buy this.Read More
Too much assembly - not as sturdy.
I was missing some hardware, luckily I had some in the shop that served the purpose. The assembly was fine otherwise, but still took about 2 hours to get everything snug and in place. The unit looks nice superficially, and has a few nice features (like the spice racks), but these really don't overcome the inherent lack of strength/rigidity of the legs and rails. The unit appears to be a nicer, higher "quality" piece than it turned out to be... not worth taking apart and sending back, but I guess you get what you pay for. Not sure I'd take a chance on CatSkill again... we'll see how it holds up after a couple of moves :( Derek SmithRead More
I enjoy my island very much,but had a little problem with assembling the product because the wrong instructions and part was different than what was illustrared.Unfortuntionly,there aRE @ ISLANDS VERY SIMILAR.oNE WITH A DROP LEAF AND ONE WITHOUT.As a result, the directions and scematics are completely different,making for confusion when assembling.But once this was sisserned,the finished product was very nice.Read More
Awesome - be ready for a long installatin
We love our new butcher block. Be ready for a long install. It took two intelligent people about 5 hours to put this together.Read More
Catskill Heart of the Kitchen Island with Drop Lea
I am only rating this product on the assembly part. I like the wood and the style, however, instructions were difficult to understand and had to add some bolts of my own and request the 4 L brackets that secured the top down to be sent to me. Too difficult for the average person to assembly.Read More
A very nice piece of furniture
This island was a lot of work to assemble--not difficult if you are handy, but a lot of steps and pieces. The workmanship was superb and all the pieces fit very well. The manual and website videos were very complete and easy to follow. I finished it with Danish oil as recommended and it looks stunning. I would recommend applying the stain/finish BEFORE assembly to make it easier.Read More
Heart-of-the-Kitchen Island with Drop Leaf
This is a very quality built cabinet. The wood is top notch. All the drawers and doors work good, after you put it together that is. The reason why I rated the quality good and not excellent, was the work required to put this together. The directions are quite complex and we had to order some replacement hardware due to the poor quality of the draw handle, door magnets and a couple of screws. Their customer service was great and they got the new parts out to us quickly, no questions asked. All in all, I love my new cabinet, it seems very sturdy and useful.Read More
This cart is a winner for small kitchens!
I treated myself to this cart because I was fed up with my existing one (cheap materials, the top kept coming unattached and flipping everything off and it wasn't a good fit in my kitchen). The cart looks exactly like the online photograph and description. I ordered it to fit in my (to me) tiny kitchen that has no prep area to speak of and I needed it to be narrower than my existing cart. Unlike other carts in this price range it is mostly solid wood, made in the USA and fits together nicely. I have had another cart made by this company that wasn't thrilling, but that was some years ago so I took a chance and glad I did. I fit most of it together myself (I am retired, not handy), needing my son-in-law only to help with final assembly. I oiled the cart well after assembly and repeated this a week later; the cart looks great. It has a useful drawer, and the shelf and cupboard are also well sized. The sides have narrow shelves that take spices and condiments and I am using S hooks to hold cutting boards and measuring cups and spoons on the rather narrow towel bars at each end. I particularly love the arrangement of the drop leaf along the length of the cart. That allows the cart to be narrow and so a good fit in my kitchen. It makes a really useful prep area when I am baking or fixing a dinner party. Overstock has an excellent price on this item; I highly recommend it.Read More

Milwaukee Blades are very good , buy them in different pitches (teeth per inch )Lenox blades were good when I used them years ago , steer clear of the sawzall blades though (junk ) And buy BiMetal blades they last longer . Here are some tips on cutting with a portaband .1 use the correct blade ,TPI the thicker the steel the lower the number of teeth per inch . If you are cutting tubing you want more teeth then the thickness indicates , have found that this makes blades last longer. 2 let the saw do the work , used to work with a fitter who always leaned on the saw , I could cut more inches of steel in a day then he could because he would ruin his blade. we were cutting angle iron ,pipe up to six inch , allthread , copper , and unistrut .3 keep your guide rollers clean . in others words keep it out of the mud ,dirt is hard on them if a roller starts to go bad replace it . it will save you a lot of aggrevation . 4 watch for a saw that includes a case with it or purchase one seperately , you can keep your blades and saw together . 5 learn your saws balance and use it to your benefit . Go to tool stores and handle the saws , and by the one you are most comfortable with , be it milwaukee , porter-cable , dewalt or any of the other brands . because if the balance doesn't feel right to you , you won't be comfortable using it . Just my opinion I like the milwaukee deep cut portaband , it is heavier than the dewalt and others but I like the balance of the milwaukee . the dewalt and others of that design always have felt like the were falling over to me .

Milwaukee deep cut. 11 years and still perfect condition. Dan's advice on the case is right on. Not just handy for keeping blades, but will really save on wear and tear from banging around with other tools, especially when transporting.

I'd like to clean nicotine off of painted walls, but I'm not sure if I should use sugar soap, or denatured alcohol (methylated spirits). Which would do a better job all-around, specifically for cleaning nicotine off of painted walls?

I've found that some Trisodium phosphate works great for this. Just mix some up in a bucket and use a sponge, and it should pull the nicotine right off, leaving the paint. I'd definitely advise testing it in a small area first, but I've used it for this exact purpose before.

Lordi is a Finnish hard rock/heavy metal band, formed in 1996 by the band's lead singer, songwriter and costume-designer, Mr. Lordi. The band is known for wearing monster masks and using pyrotechnics during concerts. They rose to domestic success with their 2002 single, "Would You Love a Monsterman?". Lordi made history in 2006 by winning the Eurovision Song Contest with a record 292 points, becoming the first Finnish performer to win the contest. Lordi was featured on the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards in Copenhagen when the band's frontman, Mr. Lordi, presented the award for rock. They were also the closing act, playing their single "Hard Rock Hallelujah". They also performed on Britain's Making Your Mind Up for the Eurovision Song Contest. Lordi performed on the main stage at Ozzfest 2007 and later that year toured with Type O Negative and Twin Method until Halloween night.

Undefeated since mid-November, 2001...Super Bowl Champions...brand new stadium for the 2002 season...life is good in Patriot Nation! And, after two early interceptions in the first quarter of the Monday Night Football opener, Tom Brady led the charge into the red zone. With first-and-goal at the four yard line, the Super Bowl Superstar calmly delivered a pass to TE Christian Fauria in the end zone. As Fauria hauled the ball in, and the fans jumped out of their seats in ecstasy...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall.
Like all prints in Rob Arra's Everlasting Images collection, the entire stadium is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there, at the historic opening game at Gillette! From the stadium scoreboards, to the fans in the stands, to the players on the field, to the countless cameramen and even the cheerleaders on the sidelines, it's all here! A stunning piece for the wall of any fan, and a great collector's item for years to come. Worthy of a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of home or office.

So do the buffs to SB and SF make KJC worth using on fights without AoE?
Without doing the math you'd think that the DPS loss of Fel Flame would at least roughly equal anything you'd gain from AV damage.
On the subject of av, anyone know if it is affected by defensive cd's? For eg if i pop one and av at the same time will it not reflect as much due to the lowered incoming damage or does it ignore that? Can't think of an easy way to test except perhaps in a duel...
As someone who rarely ever plays Demonology, does anyone have a macro that will allow me to have Enter and Exit Metamorphosis on a separate keybind? I want to avoid the situation where I tap my Meta key twice by mistake and end up in caster form with a 10 second cd on Meta.
Edit: Never mind, figured it out.

So during an encounter would it be better to save up my HoG stacks so I could clip the first shadowflame?
Also I am having a bit of trouble with the usage of my imps, I have 4 set so should I just be saving them everytime until DS is up? Thanks.
P.S. Great guide it has helped me a lot. Will you be updating it for 5.2? (Not sure if it will need to be or not)
Last edited by Cypherr; 2013-02-25 at 05:17 PM.
@Zinnin, The other option is using Imps in reaction to the 30% Haste buff from the Meta gem proc. The CD snapshots your Haste at the moment its cast, so you'll end up with a much shorter CD. Once its off CD, you just hang onto it until you get another proc, or until the boss is sub 10%.
@Zinnin You should really consider making a Demo video similar to Evrelia's Aff video.
Also watching your stream I noticed that above your chat box you have something to display your CDs. Is that just power auras or something?

Gallery: BIG Unveils Eye-Popping West 57 Residential Tower Pyramid in N...
Mr. Ingels has dropped a few hints about his project unveiling in New York – perhaps the biggest was opening an office and moving to the city. The tower is a clear hybrid of the northern European model of airy courtyards and sun loving facades with New York's density and celebration of scale. Each apartment will get a balcony, many overlooking the adjacent Hudson River, and the complex as a whole will have a public transition green space not dissimilar to the 8 Tallet project that W57 emulates.
From the streets, the building appears as a richly detailed wall of angled windows and from the riverside softens the cities skyline. Amazingly the project shares the similar quality of transitioning an industrial section of a city to the residential with their ski slope/waste incinerator, as the apartment complex sits next to a largely defunct steam plant and garbage facility.

bjarke ingels is the most exciting designer working today.
the building's form is not an imposition of the architect's ego on the city's citizens. it emerges from sound principles of design; urban, climate, eco, historic, humanist.
and what is the result; a new idea of what a building can be

Outstanding share it is actually. My father has been searching for this tips.

Miller Introduces new Trailblazer® 325 EFI with Excel™ Power and Battery Charge/Jump-Start Option
The Miller® Trailblazer® 325 EFI with Excel™ power and the new battery charge/jump-start option brings extended runtimes, lower fuel consumption, sound reduction and a smaller footprint to a robust welder/generator for field mechanics and heavy equipment repair professionals.
APPLETON, Wis. (May 1, 2013) — Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has announced a new battery charge/jump-start option for its Trailblazer 325 EFI with Excel™ power engine-driven welder/generator. This new option adds 75 amps (12/24 volts) of battery charging capability and 350 amps (12/24 volts) of battery jump-starting power to a welder/generator designed to extend runtimes by 50 percent, reduce fuel use by as much as 35 percent, reduce noise by 68 percent, and provide a smaller and lighter footprint for ease of integration on work trucks. The Trailblazer 325 EFI with Excel power and battery charge/jump-start is ideal for field mechanics and heavy equipment repair professionals, and offers 325 amps of welding power at 100 percent duty cycle and 12,000 watts peak/10,500 watts continuous generator power for running jobsite tools.
This multiprocess (Stick, DC TIG, MIG and Flux-Cored) welder/generator also features two industry-exclusive advances: Smart-Cor™ technology and Auto-Speed™ technology. Smart-Cor technology provides independent weld and generator power, ensuring no interaction between the welding arc and jobsite tools such as grinders and chop saws. Auto-Speed technology automatically adjusts the engine speed to run at lower speeds determined by the welding load applied to the machine.
Two additional technologies — Excel power and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) — significantly improve fuel efficiency and extend runtimes. Excel power is a new and exclusive generator technology that allows users to run most jobsite tools at idle speed (2,400 rpm) compared to traditional welder/generators that immediately ramp up to 3,600 rpm when a load is applied. EFI optimizes the air/fuel ratio for reduced fuel consumption, longer runtimes, fewer emissions and superior performance compared to carbureted models. It provides more reliable starting performance in cold climates, requires no choke, and is less prone to fuel deterioration or varnishing.

Lewis Hamilton doesn't think he has much of a chance to pull off a surprise victory at this year's US Grand Prix...
Lewis Hamilton doesn't think he has much of a chance to pull off a surprise victory at this year's US Grand Prix.
Hamilton somewhat surprisingly won at the Circuit of the Americas last year when he overtook leader Sebastian Vettel with 14 laps to go to claim his final victory for McLaren before moving to Mercedes at the end of 2012.
In 2013, however, Vettel has been in dominant form - winning 11 races including the last seven - to wrap up his fourth consecutive Drivers' Championship.
Hamilton, on the other hand, has been struggling for form in the Silver Arrows this year and doesn't believe he has much of a chance of a repeat performance in Texas this weekend.
"That's our target every weekend, but if you look at it objectively Sebastian has won by over 30 seconds at every race for God knows how long. There's no reason he won't do that again," he said.
"When there's such a big advantage you don't close it from one weekend to another. If I was able to get ahead of him in qualifying we might be able to see a different race, so that's my target."
Hamilton added that he hasn't felt comfortable in the Mercedes at any point during the year, but maintained that he is hopeful of improving his performance in 2014.
"I can't really pinpoint it. At McLaren I had been there for a long time and every year I pretty much had the car built for me and around me to make me more comfortable in the car. The car was at a point where I could put it where I wanted it because we'd tuned it for a very long time," he continued.
"This year I've really struggled with the car, genuinely. Inevitably I've not been able to reach my real potential. We've still had some good races, but in those races I could have done better. All the pole position laps apart from Silverstone weren't even that special a lap. Just imagine if I was happy in the car. Hopefully I'll have a lot more input into next year's car. I won't be driving Michael [Schumacher]'s car next year, I'll be driving my car."

[QUOTE=registeredguy;1064501456]After sleeping on the game, Jake Long still sucks and the OL is still the biggest problem on this football team.
Unreal that the Bills can rush four guys all night, not stack to stop the rushing game, and Miami can neither run nor protect the quarterback.[/QUOTE
Exactly. Yet, somehow, Tannehill is the source of hatred here. Unreal
I'm not sure how you can write this up, trashing so many different players (deservedly for the most part) but not mention Nolan Carroll. Seems to me that you can't applaud Bushes benching, bash him for manning up to his lack of performance and acceptance of said benching, and yet not cry for Carroll to be benched as well. Bush cost us a drive last week that led to points for the opposition. Carroll cost us like 4 drives last night. Hell, damn near the entire secondary should be benched.
The reality is that over the past 10 qtrs, Ryan Tannehill has played like ****. Nobody in this post is trying to say that makes him a bust or he is complete garbage that we should give up on at this point. Its just recognizing facts.
Never did I blame the loss completely on Tannehill. However, it is fact that if Tannehill had played better, we win that game.
Nobody is suggesting that its Tannehill's fault when Long and Martin both get steamrolled and the DE's meet at the QB. That has nothing to do with Tannehill. What is his fault though are the plays when he is actually given opportunities and he fails to come through. He had plenty of chances last night to make a play that wouldve changed the outcome of that game and he failed miserably on almost all of them. Are you seriously suggesting he didnt make poor throws on multiple occasions when he had time and open receivers?
Having said that, the QB position is the one position on the field where you can say if he plays better, your team couldve won the game. Acknowledging the fact that we couldve beaten a bad Buffalo team if Tannehill had capitalized on some opportunities dosent pin the blame on him. There was plenty of blame to go around as many players on our team were terrible last night. To lose to the Bills, you have to have a lot of players play poorly.
But, for instance, say Long and Carroll had not played like trash last night. Would we have won the game? Perhaps, but you can not say that definetively. But, you can definately say had Tannehill made a couple of those throws that were there and not turned the ball over we wouldve won. That dosent mean that anyone is blaming the loss entirely on him. Its just facts.
There are also some threads out there pointing out the fact that Tannehill has had multiple chances this season to lead us on a game winning drive late in the 4th qtr and failed every time. There is some validity to that. As for myself, Im not ready to say that means he will never be able to do this for us consistantly, but I can still accept that criticism of him as reasonable. Its just reality that he hasnt come through in a big spot for us yet.
There comes a point when you have to stop blaming everyone else and place blame where it belongs. Yes the offensive personel is not great. Yes the OL has been terrible. But, none of that means Tannehill hasnt had chances to make plays. He has. He just hasnt made those plays when it counted most so far.
Matty Ice has been in these situations all year and failed ONE time. Just last week he didnt get his team in the endzone with a chance to win late. Up to that point he had come through in that situation all year long. Yet, for some reason he was criticized for having to win close games. At the same time teams like the Giants and 9ers who are said to be superior to the Falcons are LOSING games to these so called bad teams. I dont get it.
You see these late game situations are where its time to pull your balls out. Right now in those critical spots, Tannehill is playing like a little ******. There has to be a point in time that he is successful more often than not in those spots or we will never be able to win anything with him at QB.
That just how it is. In the NFL, most games come down to these situations. The teams who have QBs that can come through in the clutch win and the teams who dont lose. Its as simple as that. I still believe that one day Tannehill might be able to come through in these situations, but right now he simply isnt getting it done.
Again its a get real thread. So you can either keep it real or keep it movin. So you can run and tell THAT! Homeboy.
Bill Belichick on "putting the tape on"
Fire Jeff Ireland
hire WV
Why? So he can hire Nick Saban as Director of Everything just to get the chance to suck down some hot-Little Debbie cream filling?
Anyway, saying that the QB position is the lone position you can say "if he plays better, your team could have won the game" is simply wrong. I can think of a couple of missed fgs (not kicked by our qb) that cost us a game.
Another spot on review. Tannehill played like crap indeed, but these people saying he's a bust are just hilarious. I wonder what would've happened if Indianapolis got rid of Peyton Manning after his first few bad games during HIS rookie season?
PS. I'm NOT comparing the two! So settle down people!
Freakin hilarious...good job

Elder statesman golf writer Dan Jenkins, live on Twitter: "Y.E. Yang is only three shots off the lead. I think we got takeout from him last night." Um, I hope he tipped well?! A roundup of early Twittereplies:
DonNelsonRiley: Perfectly illustrates why Golf is for old white guys. Elitist, old money stink can't be avoided. Full of a$$holes.
fangsbites: I'm Asian and it's not worth getting upset over. I'm letting it go.
RonHogan: Ironically, the 3rd hit on @danjenkinsgd on Google is him discussing "when a funny line becomes a cheap shot" in an interview.

And this last one from Philadelphia Inquirer columnist John Gonzalez, if true, makes me think that Jenkins should teach a Learning Annex seminar on Missing The Point:

How what's overhead affects what's underfoot
The Trees All Waved Their Giant Arms
by Rikki Hall
Knox County has problems. Our air is too dirty to meet federal standards, and our sewers back up during rainstorms and disgorge their foul contents into neighborhoods and parks. Trees are waving and whispering in the wind, "We can help." If you listen closely, they spare no details. One breezy afternoon, an excited leaf sputtered to me, "An acre woodlot can hold 3,700 cubic feet of stormwater." I had heard the same thing from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, so I believed it.
Stormwater is a big issue for Knox County and governments across the nation, as decades of sprawling growth have filled roads and sewers to capacity and beyond. Here, the stormwater problem is exacerbated by aging sewer pipes. Cracks and holes lead to trouble not when they let sewage out, but when rainwater gets in. A system designed to handle occasional flushes and bouts of dishwashing can be overwhelmed by a constant influx of rainwater. When that happens, pipes back up, and low-lying storm drains become filthy fountains.
Sewage overflows notwithstanding, the main stormwater problem is ordinary flooding. Development can make flooding worse by proliferation of impervious surfaces: parking lots, buildings, anything that prevents the soil underneath from soaking up water. Inside the city limits, 27 percent of the ground is impervious.
This is where the trees come in. Trees increase the water-absorbing capacity of land by holding soil with their roots and creating it as their leaves decompose. They drink water too. Not just pervious, trees retain water, making them a valuable tool in flood prevention.
In the mountains, where clear, clean water is wonderfully abundant, soils accumulated over thousands of years hold almost as much rainwater as nature can drop. Both filter and buffer, ancient soils slowly release water into seeps and springs, so even when it hasn't rained in a month, Appalachian rivers still plunge happily valleyward. Water is the stuff of life, and evolution drives forests to fill all the life-giving capacity available; thus our old, wet mountains abound with salamanders, darters, mayflies, crayfish, waterthrushes, herons and the trees that love them.
Biological richness does not pay the bills, at least not directly. Nonetheless, you can measure how much water a one-acre woodlot can hold and compare the cost of building culverts and detention ponds with the same capacity. Knox County's trees are worth over a billion dollars in stormwater control, according to a 2002 study by American Forests. Trees also clean the air. They consume carbon dioxide and emit oxygen, and along the way they remove over two million pounds of pollutants from the air in Knox County alone, preventing $43 million in medical expenses and missed work yearly.
As county officials ponder how to bring our region back into compliance with federal air and water standards, figures like those should get their attention. Vehicle inspections and lowered speed limits are not popular with voters. Enforcement of pollution laws is in the hands of state and federal agencies. Within their domain is an easy sell that would net real results: a tree protection ordinance.
A tree ordinance needs no enforcement authority to be effective. The city's tree ordinance, passed almost a half-century ago, requires keeping six trees per acre when clearing land and leaving eight growing per acre after development. Violations are $50, reasonable exemptions granted. The limits are so trivial as to be self-enforcing. Not intended to be punitive, the city tree ordinance created an advisory Tree Board to help city crews, developers and neighborhoods make good forestry decisions.
Four decades later, we can precisely compute the watershed management value of land use and site planning decisions. We can estimate the rise in health care costs and flood control if Knox County's impervious surfaces double in 30 years and grant incentives accordingly for pervious design. We can make smart forestry and stormwater decisions worthwhile for developers. County engineers already have the tools.
It is possible to write a tree ordinance better than Knoxville's, but even if the county merely adopted the city Tree Board as its own, it would realize air pollution and flooding reductions for the cost of coffee and donuts at the monthly meetings. There is money to save and sickness and destruction to prevent not by hugging our trees, but by noticing trees have always kept us safe in their giant arms.

Hey guys, Yes I could still put the radiant heat in the floor and no doubt its the best except in my situation, I like it warm when I'm here and we get times when we are out on a portable for days at a time and when I come home at night I may only be in the shop for a couple hours at night preping stuff for the next day so I think the radiant will work best for my situation.
SBerry. I also burn wood but am worried about the wood keeping up and there are times when I need it warm in a hurry and 65 degrees is where I like to keep it in the shop when I'm working.
So you agree with the idea of the heater being over the table.
I know when the shop is at 65 when we are working and its 20 degrees outside I'll pull the trucks and the hilo in when they have been sitting outside it takes the shop forever to heat back up so I was thinking the table would work in reverse.
Another note: I have 6 H-beams 12" tall x 30' long that are getting cemented into the floor, 2 inline with the frame of a truck, 2 will be 8' apart inline with the outside edge of a truck and 2 more that will be 3' off the edge of a truck so I will have a area approximately 15' x 30' that will be flat to work off or I can use them to straighten things.
The new addition will also have 4 bridge cranes, 2 bridges per truck bay.

I assume you will keep the place above freezing all the time and want a boost when needed, You probably have more insulation than I do but I stay at 50, maybe 55 or so in winter, when it snows you can feel the place heat up easier. As I said before I used to turn on the unit over bench to rosy it up a little when I knew I was standing there doing layout or design, maybe run for 20-30 mins just to put a little glow on, the benches will store a bit of heat but probably rather insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
At the temps atapullingng cold unitit doesntnt make a big deal, you can feel it when a door is opened in real cold weather but it recovers quick anisn'tnt that warm to start with. keep my office a bit warmer butDon't't mind wearing a pair of uninsulated bibs anyway, can go in and out without dressing up or down, keeps cloths cleaner, less wear and a bit of protection. Its not uncomfortable.
Sitting at a puter would be one thing but my shop is 80 ft across, we are pretty much on the move, its pretty rare I feel chilly, keep ceiling fans on. Not real bad even on smokin hot days like we had recently, beats out in the sun.
Only occasions warmer would help a little is painting, which I can schedule most of the time and not as much anymore and drying cars but thats not much a problem either as I can blow warm on them and usually wash first, bring in over night and they crispy as a cracker in the morn if I cut off ice first which I usually do, they are pretty much done dripping in 2 or 3 hrs. I have floor drain pad, 2 or 3 easily can sit, move into work area or hoist when they are dry.
Actual welding work is fairly minor, we weld often, not a lot, if that makes sense. Biggest real weld/fab job I did in recent history was about a month 2 winters ago, repairs some tractor rims this week, about half a day of real faDidn'te. Didnt cut or weld anything today that I can recall. Most days a cut or tack here or there, comes in squirts.
While I might find use for crane rails I don't need them. I have portable A frame, floor jacks, auto/light truck hoist and cherry picker, most of my rigging is outside and I have crane on truck. I got to have the A frame but its really rare I use it. I use the little cherry picker a quite a bit.
I have 2 buildings, shop and storage which is 80X100, actually 60x100 with 20x100 lean to which I really like. If I don't need it in here out it goes, still keep the sdoesn'tf but doesnt need to be warm and I like it clean free space, empty for the most part unless I am actively working on sdon'thing. I dont have to move this to do that, pit stop kind of space open floor, can turn a car or pickup around without opening a door or moving junk. I do have a flat section, close enough to build a trailer etc on. Sloped floor drain in another section.

Do you store any liquids out there? Paint, cleaning, weed killer, Liquid fertilizer...ect. needs to stay above freezing. You may have other storage for that...IDK.

I'm laughing myass off reading this ... I don't know why? I live in Alaska I have a small barrel style stove made out of 16" pipe in the corner but I use my table heater I love it it us not worth snapping a picture of ... I have a piece of six inch pipe at a 45* angle under the table about 30" long it has a piece of 1" plate tacked over 2/3 of the top end of pipe u run a weed burner in through the bottem of pipe it's hooked to a twenty foot hose hooked to a propane bottle stored in the corner next to my oxy act. Rack .... My system might be a little backwoods but it heats up my 3/4 inch 12 x6 table and me nicely

Very workable idea! To be fair though, you need to grab a 55 gallon barrel and some garden hose to go state-of-the-art with in-floor heating. Just kidding.
The first couple of winters after I had my shop built I was doing basically the same method. Probably still would be going the cheap route, but found it didn't do a thing for rust on the machine tools, both from the water vapor in the exhaust and during the non-heat cycles. If I didn't own the machines, I'd most likely go with this method and forget thermostats, gas bills, etc.Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.

Shop heaters.
I'd better stick with the first one you showed, The second one might be a little to HOT to keep around. ( Not to mention how cold my bed would be when my wife discovers the new heater. )
I'm sure the 1 st one would be way cheaper to operate.
Sberry, A mistake I made with my wood stove was that I wanted a pipe that would last for ever so I used a pc. of 6 x 6 x 3/16" structural tube and because it was so heavy it took alot to heat up and a cold pipe wont draft as well as a thinner one.
I'm going to have to make a bigger stove for the new shop.

I used heavy wall for mine, cause I could get it, 8 inch casing. It works pretty good, I insulated it with fiberglass, hit it with a hammer to clean it. At the time I had a crane, cut hole in roof and set it thru. I am sure there is some waste, don't care. I want to build a new stove one of these days, this was a toss together deal, I wasted a little time on a couple things that didn't work out, would like to put grates and a pan in but this holds coals if taken care of, don't have to do restarts.
Also if I was to do it again might replace the front with a big flat plate like I saw others and cut the sides out, about 3x4, weld right stiffeners and brackets to it on heavier plate, 1/4 or so and weld back in, only real reason this warp up so bad is I really roast some garbage in this thing. It was sposed to be temporary but worked well enough neverer replace or upgrade it, love the big door.

I have ceiling fan over it and on occasion hang a blower and makeshift duct in winter and can blow heat directional. Can even blow under cars trucks in winter on drain pad for de-icing, can hot pressure wash outside, cut the crud off, pull in, blow dry, especially overnight, crispy as a cracker in the morning.
On occasion I do customer car/pickup repair, cherry pick type things, have them drop off night before, wash, dry, it was a particular feature I knew I wanted when I built a new shop, was tired of winter time crap, I made a good way to deal with it.

How To Buy Golf Equipment
The Official Rules of Golf mandate no more than 14 clubs are allowed in your bag during a round of golf, and that
includes your putter. So it is vital that you choose a selection of clubs that best fits your swing, where you play and
your ability level.
Determining Your Ability Level
Players can be divided into 3 basic ability levels--low-handicaps,mid-handicaps, and high-handicaps. A handicap is the golfer's
way of measuring their performance against the par on a course, usually in relation to a par 72 regulation course.
The Low-Handicap Golfer
A low-handicaps player has a single-digit handicap, meaning he or she generally scores less than 10 strokes over
par, or an 82 or less on a par-72 course.
The Mid-Handicap Golfer
The mid-handicap golfer plays "bogey golf," meaning his or her score averages out to 1 over par on each hole, or
somewhere in the 11-20 handicap range.
The High-Handicap Golfer
The high-handicap golfer is either a beginner or has not had the time to hone his game to reach the mid-handicap
level. The high-handicapper usually shoots close to or over 100.
Return To Top
Determining the Type of Club
Various shafts and club head compositions and designs make it possible to select the right combination to suit
every individual's golf game.

ISC X-Flex Crash Repair Racers Tape is a large sheet of crash repair tape designed for that quick racing repair to get your car back on the track after an accident. Unlike other body repair patches, X-Flex is reinforced with a layer of aluminum, making it very durable and strong. This tape is widely used in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck series races. X-Flex Racers Tape has a highly aggressive butyl rubber adhesive that will adhere to any clean surface. X-Flex comes in either 11 inch x 15 inch patches for short track or in 11 inch x 30 inch patches for NASCAR. Available colors are black, white, blue, yellow and red.
Please note since X-Flex is paint applied to an reinforced aluminum backing you will sometimes see areas of the silver aluminum underneath the paint. These patches are designed for short term patch repair however and during that time should still look aesthetically pleasing. Also the wide width aluminum/butyl rubber combo is extremely difficult to work with and causes wrinkles and gaps in the release liner when the liner is put back on to the tape after the aluminum backing is painted, but it should not affect products performance.
(1 to 5 patches)
(6 to 17 patches)
(18 to 29 patches)
(>= 30 patches)

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

The Osmonds are an American family music group with a long and varied career—a career that took them from singing barbershop music as children, to achieving success as teen-music idols, to producing a hit television show, and to continued success as solo and group performers. The Osmonds are devout members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and their religious values have influenced their careers. When it began as a barbershop quartet, the group consisted of brothers Alan Osmond, Wayne Osmond, Merrill Osmond, and Jay Osmond.

En español | Have you ever heard a squeaky-tight little voice in the back of your head saying something like this? "You spend too much money! You really need to cut back."
Sign up for the AARP Money newsletter.
That's your Inner Miser. He lives in the part of your brain that realizes that spending more than you can afford and wasting money is ultimately making you miserable. If your Inner Miser's voice is getting louder, maybe you're ready for a cheapskate makeover. Here are some simple ways to get started. Some of the savings may be small — and some not so small — but these savings will add up over time. And every time you painlessly save a penny, it inspires you to save another.
1. Skip the Grocery Cart: Running into the grocery store for just a "few items"? Avoid using a shopping cart or basket. If you have to carry everything you buy, you'll be much less likely to pick up things not on your shopping list. A study by the University of Wisconsin showed that shoppers making a "quick trip" to the grocery store usually bought 54 percent more than they planned.
2. Drive Without Spilling a Drop: Keep a cup filled to the brim with water in the driver's side cupholder of your car. Make a little game out of trying to drive without letting your cup runneth over. This will help you to slow down and avoid jackrabbit-type starts, resulting in better gas mileage. Over time, more fuel efficient — and safer — driving will become second nature, and you'll be able to skip the cup of water.
3. Pack a "Big Bag" Lunch: You can save a lot of money — almost $1,000 per year, by my calculations — if you bring your lunch to work every day rather than dining out. But if you're like me, many mornings you're just too rushed to pack a lunch. Instead, try carrying an entire bag of groceries to the office with you every Monday. Keep the loaf of bread in your file cabinet and the cold cuts and fruit in the office fridge. You'll find that eating in is the most convenient and economical option.

Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go
Filmmaker Kim Longinotto offers an inside look at an unusual school for troubled kids in this documentary. The Mulberry Bush School is an institution offering educational and treatment options for disturbed youngsters, many of whom have severe anger issues and have committed violent acts against their family and friends. However, at Mulberry Bush, the staff works under the principle that their students are not inherently violent, and that their aggressive nature can be overcome with proper treatment and understanding. With nearly three staff members for every student, Mulberry Bush provides an oasis of understanding for youth with fragile and unsettled psyches, and Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go documents both the severity of their problems and the progress that can be made. Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go was screened in competition at the 2007 Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
