Here's to the moms who were green before green was cool
By Melissa Segrest
Green Right Now
Once upon a time, before plastic water bottles and giant plasma TVs and prepackaged foods and paper towels, there were moms who went about their days doing Earth-friendly things.
For some of them it's a vague memory. For others it may be only legend and lore. But yes, there was a time without liquid detergents and big grocery stories and electric dryers.
Let's not fool ourselves. Pesticides and lead and aluminum foil and fossil fuel pollution also were part of everyday life back in the 1950s, '40s, '30s and before. That's not Mom's fault. She didn't know what we know today.
In honor of Mother's Day, we've counted eight ways that moms of yore took care of Mother Earth, even if it wasn't intentional:
1. Cloth napkins, kitchen towels and handkerchiefs
Before millions of trees had to die, there was cloth. Kleenex have been around for quite a while (since the mid 1920s) and Scott paper towels rolled out in 1931, but before that – and even for some time after – moms didn't change their habits.
Cloth napkins were practical and pretty, and made of natural fabrics until paper products started to push them into dining room drawers. We suspect there are plenty of moms who still prefer soft cloth kitchen towels rather than endless rolls of paper towels.
Handkerchiefs were the order of the day, as long as centuries ago. In the 1940s, dapper men wouldn't be seen without their pocket handkerchief folded neatly into the jacket's left breast pocket.
Handkerchiefs also had a practical purpose – blowing the nose. Sanitary? Maybe not; practical, yes.

Part III: in which the author encounters Astronauts.
he Sages of Automobilia long ago conceived that the Race of Mankind, being by the Will of God and by their own surpassing Virtues chosen to be supreme among all created Things, were destined at length to subdue to their own Purposes not the Earth alone, but the entire celestial Universe. But until a few Years since, their Powers in no Wise matching their Ambitions, the Art of voyaging through the firmament of Heaven, though a frequent Topic for idle Speculation and the pleasing Fancies of the Authors of Popular Tales, was not held to be in immediate Prospect of Realisation. That it came to be so, was the unforeseen Consequence of an Improvement in the Science of War.
Every General wishes if he can to slay the Enemy without Risk to his own Men: and it is to this humane End that the Nations of Christendom have devised Cannons, Mortars, Bombards, Grenades and such other Devices as kill at a distance. The ingenious Strategists of Automobilia have perfected this Skill by the use of Rockets, such as I have seen in England innocently employed at Shows and Illuminations, but of immeasurably greater Bulk and Velocity. These curious Engines at once suggested to the Imaginations of the Wise a Possibility of the Fulfilment of their ancient Dream: a Man, borne upon fiery Wings, and encased in a Shell of Iron, might ascend to the Regions of Aether and discover all the Secrets of the Planets and the Stars.
To think, with this People, is to act: and it was at once proclaimed that whatever the Difficulties, the Dangers, or the Cost, the Passage of a few Years should find the flag of Automobilia planted in the soil of our planetary Neighbour, the Moon. Some few Dissenters protested that the Advantages of Lunar Discovery were at best dubious and not a Whit commensurate with the Expense such a Project must needs incur: for the Moon is revealed by the Astronomer's glass to be devoid of all Life, animal or vegetable, and he who desires a Desert may find it with greater Expediency upon Earth. But these Doubters were speedily laughed to Scorn: no great Enterprise, they were assured, could be carried to Fruition without Trouble to any Man, nor could a Cake be made, as the Saying goes, without breaking of Eggs.
Thereafter, for many Years, a large part of the Revenues of the State were directed to the Fashioning of Rockets impulsive enough to escape the Attraction of the Earth and ascend to the Lunar Sphere. Nor could the Needs of the Passengers be neglected: the perfect Vehicle must bear in its forward Parts a Cabin stout enough to withstand the cold and vacuous Wastes of that super-mundane Zone. At last all was complete: and the
prodigal and enthusiastic Temper of the Automobilians may be judged by this, that the total Cost of the Operation exceeded all the Churches and Cathedrals in Christendom. I t is even alleged by some carping and pusillanimous critics (I use my Informants' Description of them), that a less Sum would have sufficed to house, clothe and feed all the paupers in the Kingdom, and do much else besides: but the Majority of the People held the glory of their Nation of more account than the Welfare of a few Millions of poor Folk, and judged no Sacrifice too great that should speed Man's Exodus into the limitless Region of the Stars.
The Voyage, then, was undertaken: and the Astronauts (for thus were they designated)rose in their fiery Chariot like so many Phaethons, alighted at length upon the lunar Surface, and returned safe to relate their Adventures. The total Tribute of this new Dominion amounted, it is true, to some few Handfulls of Dust, like the Gold the Fairies use to cheat poor Mortals withal; but the Sages and Philosophers esteemed this Dust so highly and spoke so eloquently of the weighty Secrets it would impart to them upon a fuller Inspection, that the common People too were fain to acclaim this Vessel with its insignificant Cargo as much as any Argosy that ever returned from the Indies freighted with Gold and Silks and spices. I f any objected, that no Quantity of Dust, whatever its unusual Virtues, could fairly recompense so many Years' Labour, and the expenditure of such an unconscionable Deal of Money, he was scorned as a vile Worldling incapable of subordinating his gross material Passions to the high Purposes of speculative Science. I cannot forbear to add that in another Breath the Advocates of lunar Exploration might be heard dilating upon the mineral Riches this new-found Land must in time supply: though how such ponderous Commodities may be cheaply conveyed over the eighty thousand leagues of intervening Void, they cannot yet describe.
Such, then, is the Project upon which, more than any other, the Automobilians have bestowed their intellectual Powers. It is their fixed Belief that whatsoever can be done, should be done: i f only an Invention be possible. They do not trouble their Heads to consider whether it be useful or no, but carry it into Effect without more ado. This Impetuosity is the Origin of many of the Ills which beset them: and he would do them great Service who could persuade them at all Times to look before they Leap. In their lunar Adventure they have succeeded, where the Builders of Babel were frustrated: but the Sum of their Endeavours is this, that they have with immense Pains scaled a Ladder into the Loft or Attic of the world, only to find it full of naught but Dust. •

Create your own Street View
December 9th, 2013 | Published in Google Earth
Have you ever tried to convey the feeling of walking through your favorite park? Or have you wanted to create an interactive tour of a memorable journey? Well, starting today, it's now possible for you to build your own Street View experiences to do just that. Using a new feature in our Views community, you can easily connect your photo spheres to create 360º virtual tours of the places you love, then share them with the world on Google Maps.
Creating Street View from your photo spheres is as easy as connecting the dots into what looks like a "constellation" of stars. You can even connect your photo spheres to our own Street View panoramas.
To get started, just create photo spheres using your Android phone or a DSLR and then share them on Views. Next, select the photo spheres from your profile and use our new tool to connect them together (as seen in the example above). Once your photo spheres are connected and published, people can navigate between them on Google Maps, just like they can in Street View. Please visit our help center to learn more about connecting photo spheres.
I built this Street View experience from photo spheres I created with both my Android phone (Nexus 4) and my DSLR camera. Now everyone can virtually explore this beautiful location I visited on my vacation.
We are excited to see the different types of Street View experiences that everyone will contribute. For example, this feature can now enable environmental non-profits to document and promote the beautiful places they strive to protect. It also opens up a new tool for photographers to showcase diversity in a specific location -- by times of day, weather conditions or cultural events -- in a way that Street View currently doesn't cover.
And, just like with Street View, you can embed our interactive viewer on your own website or build applications with it using the Google Maps API. You can learn more about solutions for developers.
We hope this new feature will enable people to share and witness the beauty and breadth of our planet through Google Maps. Whether you're photographing exotic islands or your favorite neighborhood hangout, mountain peaks or city streets, historic castles or your town center, we're thrilled to see the places you love coming to life on Google Maps.
Businesses, as a reminder, you can showcase the beauty of your interiors through Business Photos.
Updated December 16: Modified use cases for clarity & added reference to Business Photos.

I guess the job issue will come down to who the voters think have the best chances of improving the issue. Here in CT our Unemployment rate is above 9%, but we are solidly blue. Historically Dems have done better on job creation. I really don't think jobs will hurt Obama much and probably not at all.
We have separation of powers and as long as the American public votes for the "Just say no" guys, we'll continue in grid lock and nothing will get solved.
... Kingbee, sorry to hear your daughter lost her job :(
I believe the rules of the senate creating the modern day filibuster were put in by a Democrat named Robert Byrd, I guess it's different when they use the rules against the Dems. And what have the Democrats compromised on lately?
it is the nature of the game that none of us get exactly what we want. we do the best we can with what is offered and then try to keep them on the straight and narrow. doesn't always work....
... You are over looking [at] exactly what you want in exchange for a possible win... [Gary Johnson]

Many weeks ago, I said somewhere in this forum that I left Goenkaji's method of observing sensations and switched to mere anapana sati meditaion (as followed by many Buddhist traditions). It was mainly because I found the Goenka method to be different from what the suttas emphasize.
But now I am back to sensations partly because I could not leave observing sensations (I found the method very powerful), and partly because I now find the observation of sensations a key point of Mahasatipatthana sutta (different interpretation of the sutta).
This instability may be because of my wavering mind (a kind of weakness?), but I hope I will stick to one method now. I would love to read your comments and suggestions.

I recently learned that the fabulous GNU Image Manipulation Program is developed and maintained but only three main hackers!!!... There used to be another developer, but he's no longer available. To think that such an open source flagship is kept alive by so few people should help understand why the much anticipated single screen GIMP 2.8 has been delayed again.
From here I would like to ask you to help this project in whichever way you can. Spread the word, donate or offer your help as a developer. Whatever you do is certainly going to make a difference, so go for it! Remember that GIMP is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS, so don't limit your efforts to the Linux/GNU community.
The GIMP HOME SITE Includes lots of information about this great application, but I also recommend checking some of the many GIMP example and tutorial videos available in YOUTUBE.
Should you want to donate, they support a number of methods, all of which are presented HERE.
Start the new year giving this awesome project a hand!

I have one more suggestion: it's for GNU/Linux OS developers: include Gimp in your OS's next big release. Ubuntu dropped the ball for not including Gimp since version 10.4. But Linux Mint did. http://www.linuxmint.com.ReplyDelete

Road Trip Continues Tuesday Night at Idaho
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Life out west continues for Green Bay (2-2) on Tuesday night as the Phoenix takes on Idaho (0-2) at 9:05 p.m. CT in Memorial Gym. The contest will be the fourth in five days for a Green Bay team that has split its first four games. After opening the season with two wins, the Phoenix fell victim to a game-winning three at Nevada on Saturday night and a slow start on Sunday afternoon against a hot-shooting Cal State Fullerton squad.
Green Bay faces Idaho for the second-straight season and the third time in the all-time series. The Phoenix used 19 points and 19 rebounds from Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) to clip the Vandals 63-61 at the Resch on Dec. 22, 2011. The only other meeting was a 62-50 Phoenix victory in Moscow on Nov. 17, 2000. The Phoenix has struggled to shoot the ball from long range in the first four games (14-68) but has been dominate on the glass with a plus-11.2 rebounding margin.
Green Bay has three players averaging in double figures and seven different players on the roster that have posted double figures in at least one contest. Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) leads the team at 16 points per game while big men Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and Cougill have posted 12.8 and 12.3 points, respectively.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: Fans will be able to follow the action in numerous ways on Tuesday night. The game will be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Andrew Gavin. Live stats and live video will be provided by GoVandals.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
A live video broadcast will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com, and Phoenix Access subscribers will be able to watch the game for free using their account. To watch, click here.
FAST START FOR THE FROSH: Brian Wardle started a true freshman in the opener for the third-straight season, and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has made it look like a great decision. The 6-foot-7 Fouse has been a monster on the glass and is averaging 6.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks through four games. He had 11 points and nine boards against CSF.
BACKBOARD BEASTS: The Phoenix has been dominant on the glass on both ends of the court through four games this season. Green Bay has outrebounded all four of its opponents by at least five boards and leads the Horizon League with a plus-11.2 rebounding margin. Alec Brown (8.5), Jordan Fouse (8.0) and Brennan Cougill (6.0) all rank in the top-six in the league in rebounding while Fouse (3.5) leads the conference in offensive boards. Green Bay is atop the league's chart in offensive rebounds (16.3) and offensive rebound percentage (.411).
ELITE COMPANY: Brown was in elite company in 2011-12. The 7-foot-1 Brown, then a sophomore, was one of only two players to average at least 13 points, eight rebounds and three blocks per game. The other? Kentucky's Anthony Davis, who was selected first overall in the 2012 NBA Draft. Brown is a Preseason All-Horizon League First-Team selection heading into 2012-13.
WHERE HE LEFT OFF: Sykes picked up this season where he left off in 2011-12, winning the Horizon League's first player of the week honor. The 5-foot-11 guard posted a new career high with 31 points in the opening win over Chicago State. Then a freshman, Sykes also claimed the league's last weekly award in 2011-12 when he scored a career-high 27 points against another team from his hometown, at UIC.
OLD FOR 18: Sykes entered the 2012-13 season as a starting point guard and a team captain. He entered as a Preseason All-Horizon League Second-Team. He entered the year after a season in which he scored 335 points and was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team. Amazingly, he also entered as an 18-year old, and he will stay that way through the first 13 games of his sophomore campaign. After playing his first 13 games at age 17, Sykes is now averaging 15.0 in 21 games as an 18-year old.
THIS IS GREEN BAY BASKETBALL: The 2012-13 season will be the 44th in the history of the Green Bay men's basketball program. Since the first year of Green Bay men's basketball in 1969-70, the program has an all-time record of 761-515.
ROAD TRIPPIN': Green Bay finishes off a stretch of four games in five days. After the World Vision Classic and three games in three days, Green Bay made a trek to Moscow, Idaho to take on Idaho. In the midst of the current 35-day span, the Phoenix will play seven of its eight games away from its home floor and will travel over 4,000 miles.
FREE FOR ALL: Green Bay's offensive struggles against Chicago State did not stop the team from breaking long-standing school records or from surpassing 70 points. The Phoenix knocked down a school-record 41 free throws (41-48) against Chicago State, breaking a program record which had stood for 32-plus years since Feb. 23, 1980 (37 vs. Northland). Sykes had 17 of the team's free throws (17-19), breaking the individual record of 15.
THIRTY-SOMETHING: Sykes' effort against Chicago State was the first 30-point game by a Phoenix player since Troy Cotton tallied 36 at Akron on March 17, 2010 and the first under head coach Brian Wardle. It was also the fifth time that a Phoenix player had notched 30 or more points in the Resch Center and first since Ryan Tillema scored 32 against UIC on Feb. 25, 2008.
BLOCK PARTY: In his time at Green Bay, 7-foot-1 Alec Brown has swatted 162 shots to shatter the Phoenix career record. With 89 blocks as a sophomore, Brown averaged 3.0 per game, a number that ranked in the top-10 nationally. Another 36 combined blocks from Cougill and Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) helped the team register a school-record 142 for the year.
TALL ORDER: Wardle pledged early on in his tenure to add height and length to the Phoenix roster. Consider it mission accomplished as the roster's 14 players have an average height of over 6-foot-5. The addition of the 7-foot-1 Bross gives Green Bay a pair of seven-footers, and six others stand at least 6-foot-6. Newcomers McKinnie (6-8), Arenz (6-8) and Fouse (6-7) will help to make Green Bay one of the tallest teams in the Horizon League. Sykes is the roster's lone player under six feet tall.
Read a full season preview of the men's basketball team and watch a 1-on-1 interview with Wardle.
Full season ticket and Pick 5 packages are on sale now with the Green Bay Athletics Ticket Office. For more information and to order tickets, please call 920.465.2625, visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center or access GreenBayPhoenix.com/tickets.

1994 Cadillac Seville STS Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1994 Cadillac Seville STS based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Overheating of the engine may cause the cylinder head to expand, severely straining the head bolts and damaging the threads in the engine block. This commonly results in a blown head gasket. Our technicians tell us the engine block threads must be repaired before the cylinder head is reinstalled.
The crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to stall intermittently, the Check Engine Light may or may not illuminate.
The water pump and/or the plastic side tanks on the radiator may leak causing a loss of coolant. The engine may overheat due to coolant loss. Continued coolant loss after external leaks have been repaired could indicate a blown head gasket.
Problems with anti-theft systems using the raised-chip key can prevent the car from starting. The wires in the steering column to the ignition lock cylinder tend to break. The key and ignition lock cylinder should be replaced to correct this condition.
The electronic level ride system may not work properly; this may result in the rear of the vehicle riding too high or too low. Our technicians tell us that a height sensor or exhaust valve failure are common issues with this system. Proper diagnoses will be necessary to confirm the exact fault.
One or more heater & AC (HVAC) temperature and/or air delivery mode door actuator may fail, resulting in improper temperature or air delivery. If this occurs, fault code(s) should be stored in the HVAC control module which should assist in diagnoses.
The trunk pull down switch may fail causing the trunk lid not to close completely. Our technicians tell us that the failed switch can be replaced without changing the complete pull down motor assembly.
The EGR valve may stick open, causing a rough idle and/or the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module may fail causing the ABS light to illuminate. Failed modules should be replaced to restore ABS operation.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart. Our technicians recommend replacing the fuel filter every 30,000 miles to help prevent undue strain on the fuel pump.
You may be able to prevent transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned then the transmission system should be completely flushed.
The spark plugs should be replaced every 30,000 miles and the spark plug boots should be checked for hot spots and cracks.
The high-pressure power steering lines are known to leak.
An intake manifold vacuum leak can develop from a variety of sources, often causing illumination of the Check Engine Light with codes P0171 & P0174 stored. Thorough diagnoses will be necessary to pinpoint the cause in order to make the correct repairs. A "smoke" machine is often used to isolate the cause of difficult to find vacuum leaks.
The engine may develop an oil leak from the lower crankcase portion of the engine block. Our technicians tell us that the engine must be removed from the vehicle to properly repair this oil leak.

Psalm 139 "O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

I smelled something burning, so I hurried to the kitchen. Nothing was on the stove or in the oven. I followed my nose through the house. From room to room I went, eventually ending up downstairs. My nose led me to my office and then to my desk. I peeked beneath it and there, peering back at me with big eyes pleading for help, was Maggie, our dog, our very "fragrant" dog. What smelled like something burning when I was upstairs, now had the distinct odor of skunk. Maggie had gone to the farthest corner of our house to escape the foul smell, but she couldn't get away from herself.
Maggie's dilemma brought to mind the many times I have tried to run away from unpleasant circumstances only to discover that the problem was not the situation I was in but me. Since Adam and Eve hid after sinning (Gen. 3:8), we've all followed their example. We run away from situations thinking we can escape the unpleasantness—only to discover that the
The only way to escape ourselves is to stop hiding, acknowledge our waywardness, and let Jesus wash us clean (Rev. 1:5). I am grateful that when we do sin, Jesus is willing to give us a brand-new start.
From the wondrous cross on CalvaryFlows the stream that still avails,Cleansing hearts and bringing victoryThrough that love which never fails. —Elliott
Sin's contamination requires the Savior's cleansing.

I've used about 5 of those feeders on some nucs (the smaller nuc version of your feeder). I liked them, but did eventually find some complaints. My number one complaint was the opaqueness of the plastic bee covers. They make it hard to see how many bees are feeding (or not feeding) and how many might be dead. I didn't have many bees drown, but when they do, popping off those plastic covers was a bit of a challenge. They're also a little wobbly if you ever have to lift them off the hive when they're full of syrup. Something to avoid! As for feeding dry sugar, that might work. I tried something similar with mixed results. When I opened an end for the bees to access the feeder, the bees poured in but didn't necessarily seem bright enough to figure out how to get out.I like these feeders, but I always find something to complain about no matter what :)
I hadn't really though of it, but I suppose if one built their top bar hive 16 1/4" wide (or 19" wide) one could use a hive top feeder for a Langstroth on top and then make just enough gap somewhere to let the bees up to the feeder.

Here are a few of my costume now (let's call it V2.0)
Criticism is welcome of course :)
Looks great, congratulations, may I ask where you got your balaclava?
Thanks, regards
Looking good Tony! The only thing I notice is that the shoulder bells look to big.
the shoulder bells were made by Seeker (I am guessing very screen accurate), so I think my vest's pads are just too small so it makes them look bigger... need to upgrade the vest someday, lol.
As for the balaclava, my seamstress (mom) made it from some spandex material I bought.
maybe I should have my mom commission the balaclavas... I know a lot of people want them and they look the right color from the movie behind the scenes.
awesome suit, T. I know I'd buy a balaclava if you offered them up for sale
Yeah the spandex does look quite comfy, especially if it can keep your head cool. The big problem with balaclavas is that most conventions are in the summer heat and it can be uncomfortable to have your head covered. I currently use a white balaclava from ebay that I used RIT dye to get the correct color.
Im up for one!
Awesome Bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking good!
A few more from an event this past weekend...
I have a question though... what is the easiest way to taper the pant legs?
Take em into a seamstress and have her give them a narrower taper to do it the right way. Looking good...and looks like everybody loves Jango!:thumbsup
You look awesome man. You should try to consider darking up your holsters to match your ammo belt.
Just something to consider, but your suit looks really good though
Looks great..and yes i would also buy a balaclava from you anytime!
Who made your gauntlets?
lookin good dude!
His Jango looks really good up close. He always kids about Jango being 2 inches taller than him! lol My son is next to him and I am the red, white and black mando behind him in the first picture. And more of me in the second one! I look like a goof in that picture!
Nice job Tony!
Lol tis true what Ordo said, I am short ;)
thanks ziolko, sorry for getting that arena pack, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open for one for you... You want classic or arena?
Mando guard, those are cc cruzer gaunts, most awesome investment I ever made, and HIGHLY recommended for jangos out there.
Thanks Tony. I don't mind which style, i would PREFER classic, but arena would work. :)

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
It has been a while since I put out a zine.
Excuse List: School, work, winter, netflix video marathons of complete TV show series runs (I say just one more show and before I know it, it is like 3 am and I watched 6 shows in a row.)
I have decided that this will not do.
So I am creating "The Zine a Month Challenge."
The rules of this challenge are simple.
Create and hold in your hand one completed copy of your zine by the end of each month.
You can do this for the entire year or select how many months you want.
Start date is April 1
To join, post a pictures or announcement when you have finished your zine in this discussion
Good Luck
Views: 65
Ok, I just got on here and saw this great idea.
I started a new zine yesterday so I'm already kind of on track.
This goal is totally do-able and should be fun.
Would love to see how everyone else's turn out.
OK, there is about five days left.
How is everyone doing?
I am a little behind, but I plan to do some work on my zine tonight.
A month is up. How did everyone do?
I'll just say it. I am not finished with my zine yet.
Excuse: It is the end of the semester and all of my energy had to go to my classes.
With that said, I did more work on my new zine then I had done in months, and with classes ending tomorrow, I will definitely get my zine done by next week during break.
My zine is about time travel.

AMES, Iowa – The best time to divide perennials varies with the different plant species. Gardeners can determine when to divide their perennials by checking When to Divide Perennials (RG 319), an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach publication.
According to Richard Jauron, ISU Extension horticulturist, perennials are commonly divided for three reasons: to control size, to rejuvenate plants and to propagate a prized perennial. Some perennials grow so rapidly that they crowd out neighboring plants in the flower bed. Others decline if they are not properly divided.
"This publication helps gardeners divide perennials at the best times for the best results," Jauron said.

Council of Europe: Reports on racism in Andorra, Latvia, the Netherlands and Ukraine
Strasbourg, 12.02.2008 – The Council of Europe's independent human rights monitoring body specialised in combating racism, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), today released four new reports examining racism, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in Andorra, Latvia, the Netherlands and Ukraine. ECRI recognises that positive developments have occurred in all four of these Council of Europe member countries. At the same time, however, the reports detail continuing grounds for concern for the Commission:
In Andorra, a new Criminal Code came into force, providing for the racist motivation of a criminal offence to be regarded as an aggravating circumstance and prohibiting incitement to racial hatred as well as racist organisations. However, Andorra has not yet ratified Protocol N°12 to the European Convention on Human Rights and does not have a detailed and comprehensive body of civil and administrative law prohibiting racial discrimination in all areas.
In Latvia, a clear prohibition of racial discrimination was included in the Labour code and efforts have been made to increase the number of non-citizens being granted Latvian citizenship, either by encouraging or facilitating naturalisation. Nevertheless there remain a number of problems as to the full integration of the Russian-speaking population. The number of racially-motivated attacks targeting visible minorities has been increasing and the use of racist discourse, by some politicians and in the media, remains a problem.
In the Netherlands, work is underway for the establishment of a network of professional local anti-discrimination bureaus throughout the country, with the aim of improving the protection provided to victims of racism and racial discrimination and the monitoring of these phenomena. However, the tone of Dutch political and public debate on integration and other issues relevant to ethnic minorities has experienced a dramatic deterioration. The criminal justice system, and notably the police, still needs to enhance its role in monitoring and countering racially-motivated offences.
In Ukraine, the Committee for Nationalities and Religion became fully operational with, among other tasks, combating racism and racial discrimination. However, criminal legislation against racially-motivated crimes has not been strengthened and the authorities have not yet adopted a comprehensive body of civil and administrative anti-discrimination laws. There have been very few prosecutions against people who make antisemitic statements or publish antisemitic literature. Members of the Roma community still face many inequalities in areas such as education, employment and housing.
These new reports form part of a third monitoring cycle of Council of Europe member states' laws, policies and practices aimed at combating racism. ECRI's country-specific reports are available in English, French and the national language of the country concerned at http://www.coe.int/ecri. They cover all member states on an equal footing, from the perspective of protecting human rights. They examine whether ECRI's main recommendations from previous reports have been followed and, if so, to what degree of success and effectiveness.

This is my first shot at creating my own variation of the EE-3, and so far I'm pretty happy with the results (and I've only spent about $8 on it so far).
This picture is a completely unpainted shot, showing the materials used. The first thing you'll notice, most likely, is the Darth Vader lightsaber ($7 Wal-Mart version) used for the barrel of the gun. I got the toy pistol from a yard sale, and a toy rifle at the same yard sale (I took the butt off of it), for a grand total of 75 cents. So, I took the blade out of the lightsaber (you can probably figure out a way to do this for yourself, I used a vice to pull the top part of the lightsaber off and then slid the blade out) and super glued an air gun scope I had laying around to the top of it. Obviously, the interior of the lightsaber is going to be much larger than the circumference of the toy pistol's barrel, which comes to the yellow stuff you're seeing inside the saber. Play-doh. That's right, I stuffed the thing full of Play-doh, put some super glue in to hold it in the right spot, and let the Play-Doh dry (the stuff gets hard as a rock, so it's not unstable or anything). If you pack it tight enough and let it dry you don't have to worry about crumbling, especially with a coat of primer and a coat of low gloss black over it as seen here:
As you can see, the semifinal product is pretty nifty, and the whole procedure requires very little time and very little money. Not pictured in the painted photo is the butt, which is painted with the same primer and low gloss black as the gun. After painting, I took both pieces and dusted them with some grey paint for the faded used look, then took some basic sand paper and rubbed little scratch-like wear marks into it. Tonight or tomorrow I'm going to use the torn-sponge technique with some chrome paint to get it the chipped appearance.
I've also got a little experiment going making the brackets to connect the barrel to the gun out of an expired license plate that I flattened. I'll have some pictures of that up after I finish it.
Also, as you guys can probably see, this gun isn't meant to be movie accurate at all. Something like this is great for a temporary gun if you plan on making a more awesome one later, or a gun for your kid to play with. Not a lot of time goes into it, and if you're kid breaks it, no big loss. Plus I think think it looks pretty nice. I'll be using mine as a temporary for anything I go to in my Boba suit until I get around to making a movie accurate one. More pictures up as soon as I finish the wear and tear effects. Comments and criticism are appreciated!


text: Mine were on the face of the plastic frame, but I made small wire cages, with one side open, that I pushed into the comb. When the queens hatched I introduced them into a mating nuc. With a little bending you could maybe get a cage around a cell on the bottom. I coat the virgins with a little watered down honey and release them in the nuc, seems to work well.Jim

|Another way to make sure your dog obeys the commands is to train them in different places, in different positions (sitting in a chair, kneeling on the ground, standing, etc) so that the dog recognizes the command means the same thing whether you are holding the leash, sitting next to the leash, having someone else hold the leash, whatever. One of the most fun classes we had was sitting and teaching the commands then playing musical chairs and giving commands. Very interesting to see which dogs got it first. Pyrate was great at that. I could give him a command from behind other people on the path, such as wait, and he would stop in his tracks. It was very rewarding to see him do that in front of my trainer's wife and another GSD owner whom I respected. We were all walking in the woods on loose 30' leads. Someone mentioned a possible Key Deer ahead so I just told Pyrate to wait. He stopped so suddenly they almost tripped over him.

|This reminds me of when I was the age of your sister and I wanted to ride a big horse not the pony. The horse refused to move because my feet couldn't reach the stirrups and I weighed so little. He only moved when the other rider put a lead rope on him and lead him. The minute the lead rope was off, the horse galloped back to the barn. So, I really think your brother and sister are too young to walk a big gsd, but they can walk along side you, so for that I suggest you work on heeling with Keeli that way you will be in charge of the walk and not Keeli. I use a front ring harness and the walk in sync method - there is video on their website that explains it Walk In Sync - The Easiest and Most Humane Way to Walk and Train Your Dog - Home
Problems While Walking On Leash? Help!
I have a 9 year old female GSD, she and I have a really strong bond so she only listens to me. I never found this to be a problem until today, my 5 year old brother and 3 year old sister wanted to walk her. Keeli has never learned to heel because when I walk her I usually don't mind if she walks ahead as long as she doesn't pull. But anyway, my siblings tried walking her and she just kept pulling. I tried correcting her but she'd just go right back to doing it. Then when they told her to sit, she wouldn't listen and so I tried telling her to sit while they held the leash and she wouldn't listen to me either! Only when I grabbed the leash would she listen to commands. Don't even get me started on when a cat walked by... As Keeli isn't cat socialized so she went berserk.
So as a summary, the problems I need help fixing is;
Pulling on the leash when kids are walking her
Listening to my commands whenever I'm not near
Staying focused and not bolting
I honestly thought I was doing a good job training her until I made this list, then found all of the weak points in my training...
Thanks so much! Next time I let the kids walk her, I'll be sure to run with her so she'll be tired when I hand the leash over. Hopefully that'll help some.

Westerly accident leaves truck hanging from utility pole guy wire
Westerly - Two Westerly High School students escaped injury late this morning when their pickup truck flipped on John Street and ended up hanging from a utility pole guy wire.
Police at the scene said the two were able to climb out of the Chevrolet pickup on their own.
Police said it appears the driver turned onto John Street from Elm Street and lost control. A tow truck was able to drag the pickup down from the wire and John Street was able to reopen about 11:30 a.m.

Box Springs Fire now fully contained
Klamath Co. fire shut Hwy. 97 for 2 hours
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - Nearly a week after it began, the Box Springs Fire, 25 miles northeast of Prineville, has been declared fully contained after burning 470 acres, official said Friday night.
Crews completed a line around the fire Tuesday, and no smoke was visible in the area Wednesday, according to the agency.
The major progress on the fire lines was a good thing, since officials said water sources in the area were becoming scarce and they were having to truck water in over longer distances.
Fortunately, dry lightning predicted for the area Tuesday failed to materialize, Nichols said, allowing ODF and private contract crews, assisted by the Forest Service, to focus on dousing hot spots and shoring up lines around the blaze.
However, Jeree Mills, a spokeswoman for the federal fire center in Portland, says 862 lightning strikes were recorded overnight Tuesday-Wednesday in Oregon, many in the Blue and Wallowa mountains. It can take hours and days for fires to flare from such a barrage.
Meanwhile, a new blaze, dubbed the Military Fire, burned about 10 acres Wednesday afternoon and closed Hwy. 97, about 16 miles south of Chemult and 45 miles north of Klamath Falls.
ODOT and OSP closed the highway for about two hours and was continuing to use pilot cars to get two-way traffic by the fire until Wednesday night, when the road was fully reopened.
Crews from ODF, the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management teamed up to contain the fire, the cause of which is under investigation.
Earlier Tuesday, a small, roughly quarter-acre fire was tackled near the South Loop campgrounds at La Pine State Park.
The smoke was spotted by fire lookouts around 10:45 a.m. and within an hour, the park entrance was closed and some campers were being warned they might have to leave.
However, the fire was moving slowly in light brush and trees, thanks to light winds. And crews had it doused and were in mop-up stage and releasing engines by early afternoon.
As for the Box Springs Fire, the Oregon Department of Forestry mobilized Incident Management Team #3 Command and General Staff (Dan Thorpe Incident Commander) and a few key overhead positions, to the blaze.
Officials said the fire's growth slowed Tuesday, allowing crest to get a line around its perimeter by the afternoon. The increase in acreage was due to better mapping, they said.
The fire had stayed active Monday, with flames spotting 100 yards ahead of the main fire. It's burning on state-protected private forestland, a mix of juniper, pine and sagebrush about 20 miles southeast of Ashwood.
Winds and a change in barometric pressure sent smoke from the fire south into Prineville, primarily the east side of town,. around 5 p.m. Monday, said ODF spokesman Rod Nichols. The smoke thinned and visibility improved Tuesday morning.
"If the smoke starts settling again, we ask the public to be cautious about driving," said ODF's Tracy Wrolson.
A red flag warning that was in effect Tuesday as canceled in Central Oregon early Wednesday, though it remained in effect for some areas of NE Oregon and SE Washington.
The dark clouds that built up in Central Oregon at midday Tuesday dissipated later in the afternoon.
Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch officials in Prineville said the area had no new lightning strikes as feared Tuesday, though there were strikes to the north and east of the region.
The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center in Portland said there were 238 total personnel at the Box Springs Fire as of Tuesday.
Smoke intrusions from a wildfire are typically more intense in the evening and early morning hours.
Box Springs is the largest wildfire in Central Oregon so far this season and one of several fires sparked by dry lightning that moved through the area Saturday.
Air tankers again worked dropping retardant on the fire throughout the day Monday. It was spotted by the lookout on Stephenson Mountain around 11:15 Sunday morning, growing quickly in private timber lands of mixed juniper, pine and sagebrush amid high winds and dry conditions.
By late Sunday afternoon, three air tankers, three helicopters, three fire engines, the Prineville Hotshots and a crew of six smoke jumpers were working to get the fire under control.
On Sunday, the fire was spotting ahead of itself, making it a challenge for crews as it put up a tall smoke plume visible from Prineville some 25 miles away and over a wide area.
Officials said the region experienced dry lightning Saturday night, with 169 strikes hitting the ground.

This type of thing can sometimes be done by treating the function as an
explicit "black box", for purposes of numerical evaluation at intermediate
steps. This in turn can be done by defining an auxiliary function that
only evaluates for explicit numerical input, and using that in NDSolve. In
this example:
f[y_Real] := NIntegrate[z*y , {z, 0, 1}]
NDSolve[{y'[t] == f[y[t]], y[0] == 1}, y[t], {t, 0, 1}]
You can also treat t as an independent variable, say, using
f[t_Real,y_Real] := NIntegrate[z*y , {z, 0, t}]

Eat, Drink, Play: The sexier side of snow
January 29, 2012
The International Snow Sculpture Championships are a tradition in Breckenridge.
But the experience of walking among 12-16-foot snow statues is anything but traditional.
The sculptures start as giant blocks of specially made and carefully packed snow, stomped down by volunteers ahead of the competition.
Artists are given one week to turn the block of snow into artwork. The sculpting process has been called performance art, as it allows viewers to return day after day to watch the transformation and interact with the artists.
But those who missed the sculpting, which concluded with judging Saturday morning, will still be able to enjoy the event. The sculptures are born in the first week of the championships, but they come to life in the second week.
During viewing week, the sculptures are lit up with multi-colored lights and can be enjoyed in their completed form.
"It's temporal," said Gregory Brulla of Team Wisconsin. "That's one of the cool parts about it. It's like, come see it now, because it's not going to be here. That's what's also pretty magical about it. You spend all this time doing this and then it's gone."
The sculptures are better viewed at night. The sight of the larger-than-life snow formations illuminated against the darkness is stunning. The artists have intentionally toyed with form and space to create dimensional pieces that truly take on a life of their own at night and a complex lighting system adds to the mystique.
In addition, the finished pieces are simply more photogenic after dark.
Sponsors keep a few bonfires roaring around the Riverwalk Center where the sculptures are located, but nighttime viewers will still be better off arming themselves with a few extra layers and a hot cup of coffee or cocoa before taking the tour.
Though marginally less magical, daytime viewing is certainly a warmer experience. Bigger crowds, kids and music also give the sculpture arena a more festive family feel and, because the snow sculptures depend on the interplay of light and shadows to be effective, viewers may be better able to appreciate the detail work during the day.
The championships draw artists from all over the world, from Canada to China, and many of the snow sculptures evoke images of the culture and heritage of the sculptors' home countries.
Viewing week ends Feb. 5 at 11 p.m. Sculptures may be taken down before the end of the week if the weather is warm enough to weaken the snow to the point where they are in danger of falling.

I have discovered so many fantastic blogs over the past few months. I have more time in the summer to just sit on my computer all day and browse. I have met some fabulous females who you must check out! Stop over and show these ladies some love!!
Hello all you sexy Simply Just Lovely readers! I'm Vicki from VickiChristine. I blog a lot about my unborn child - he's currently kicking me in my side - and wouldn't ya know it, it's the cutest freaking thing ever. I post a lot of outfit photos and belly shots and am just counting down the days 'til he's here and then my blog will totally freak out with me as I learn how to take care of a baby! Get ready ladies, it's almost go time. Xo
Two Hoots & a Holler is a lifestyle blog about everything from crazy childhood stories (like growing up with a zebra or debuting on BET) to being married to a traveling musician to most recently adopting our baby girl. I LOVE meeting new bloggers so come on over and introduce yourself!
I am Ricki, a craft obsessed wife, mama, and full time corporate workin' woman. My blog chronicles my journeys in mama-hood, crafting, cooking, and fitness. My current obsessions are coral & mint in any application, chevron (I know, so last year...), and jewelry. I've recently acquired an obsession with accessorizing!
Hello there, Simply Just Lovely readers! I'm Michelle - The 1/2 Asian girl blogging over at Mish Lovin' Life. I'm from San Diego, writing about this silly little life of mine; like what it's like growing up with a Korean Fasha. Pretty hilarious, if you ask me. But then again, most things are pretty hilarious to me. Nice to meet ya! Hope to see you over there!
Hello SJL readers! My name is Marissa, I blog over at Everyday Lounge Act. I am a wife, mom, student & daughter of God. I love sweet tea, British accents & owls. I write about everything from my obsessions with Karmin, Ed Westwick & Pinterest to recipes, raising an almost teenage girl, and my adventures in Nursing school. I like to have a good time & laughter is my remedy for everything! Grab a drink, enter a giveaway or two, & leave a comment telling me how you really feel! Cheerio!
My name is Angela and I'm a happy little housewife living in South Jersey. I'm a nail polish fanatic, high heel aficionado and lover of hair spray (Aqua Net. The purple can. This is Jersey after all!) I am an admirer of all things make up with Chanel taste on a Revlon budget but I make it work!
My name is Sarah. I am the one behind The Fontenot Four! I am in love with God, my husband {Ron}, and my girls {Moira and Peyton}. My daughters are 8 and 6. Peyton was born with multiple special needs. I love to blog about the blessings in my life, my faith, the occasional book review, recipes from time to time, musings about my family, and so on.
Hi, I'm Ang (as in, short for Angela). I'm a mother, wife, daughter, sister, auntie, and friend, attempting to do it all – because, well, I want to. I'm also a writer, crafter, scrapbooker, amateur photographer and Pinterest addict. Long before Pinterest, I developed addictions to books, snapping memories of my kids, and chocolate desserts... or chocolate anything...or...ok, just sweets in general - don't judge me! I love being creative. I'm married to my best friend and high school love (we've been together for more than half my life now, and married for 8 years). He's a very supportive albeit, handsome dorky guy - I have live-in tech support! He can also make me crazy, and I'm not talking about the good crazy: I'm a multi-tasker that swears by lists; he's a realist that detests them. We have two beautiful children – ok, I'm biased, but who isn't when it comes to their kids, right? Our sweet, silly, smart son, Ethan, is four, and our darling, dimpled, diva daughter Olivia (Livi) is one. Oh, and we have a cat named Pumpkin that wants nothing to do with our children, or anyone elses, and loves to drink out of my water glass in the middle of the night. I am the proud owner of an Etsy shop called AngelFlowers, where I sell some of my handmade hair accessories. Oh, and I also work full time at an awesome start-up, as an office manager, (this company has the potential to rock peoples worlds, in ways no one has imagined before). So maybe I have my hands a little full... but don't we all?

New from Texas
Hello all, new here from Central Texas and looking to buy my first setup. I am relocating to Sacramento, California in January and I will be looking at heading to Lake Tahoe mountains as often as I can. I have some experience, and am comfortable on a board but I have only rented in the past. I am looking for some advice as to what boards I should be looking at for the type of riding I am going to be doing.
I went to a local snowsports shop today and tried on some boots, they had a relatively slim selection but I at least got my size nailed down and got a lot of good information about what kind of gear I should be looking in to.
I am around 5'9.5" and weigh around 170lbs and my shoe size is 9.5.
I want to make a fun setup for all around boarding. (all mountain I guess). I would like to be able to hit the park but also be able to ride down the slopes just as well. From what I was told I should look to get things around the middle, Medium flex, etc. I was able to try on the Ride Anthem's and I do like the BOA system so I will probably be looking to grab a pair of boots with one of those, but I have no preference for brand I just want a quality tried and true pair of boots. As for the board I think I want to try something with a rocker-camber-rocker approach for a fun inbetween board that has the ability to shine and have some fun anywhere, please correct me if I have this wrong as there are many types of cambers these days.
Overall I am looking for some recommendations on a good starting setup that will last a long time and I will not grow out of it quickly. I don't want to be spending top dollar but more of the bang-for-your-buck area where you are obtaining a real quality product but you are not forking out the big dollars for the newest/latest and greatest tech. I wish buying snowboarding equipment was as easy as buying computer parts but from what I have experienced so far it is not as cut and dry. This forum seems like a great place to meet people and get some help and advice here and there.

text: Your method looks good, but as Art mentioned in an older thread, the MQ-1 keypad with half of the circuit board was mounted into the original left gauntlets. So the left part (with the circuit and the other electronic components) goes behind the helmet's rear keyhole while the other half (with the connectors) goes under the calculator's keypad. It is the first time when I see the MQ-1 calculator in pieces and all the parts in one place. Thanks for posting detailed images of the found parts!
