Do you want your children or pets to be able to enjoy the outdoors in the safety of your own property? Do you want a great party environment for friends and family? This article will guide you through many tips that will help you to landscape your home to fit your needs, whatever they may be.
When planning a landscaping project for your house, you might want to consider talking to a professional first. While you most likely will not need to bring in a designer to oversee the entire project, getting some professional advice may just save you from making expensive mistakes in the future.
A drip style irrigation system is a great addition for your yard. This is because irrigation systems like these are easier to install and can leave the plants fed with continuous water. Instead of soaking the ground with a stream from a hose or automatic sprinkler and causing lots of runoff, the drip system waters the plants directly.
Rather than doing too many landscaping jobs at the same time, it is wise to do one project at a time. If you take on too many projects, you are going to end up spending too much money all at once. Taking on one at a time means you can better afford each project.
While it is common to use chemicals insecticides to ward off pests, many of them can cause harm to your plants. They best way to keep bugs away, is to grow plants that naturally repel bugs, or use a natural bug repellant like hot pepper spray, or dishwater on your plants.
One of the most important things you can do to reduce your landscaping costs, is to draw up a plan before you begin buying plants, and building materials. Knowing what you need, and where it goes will prevent you from wasting money on unneeded items. You'll save you time as well.
Avoid planting flowers under a large tree, as they will not thrive in the constant shade. Rather then putting in flowers, think about putting in a ground cover. This adds beauty to your landscaping with the added benefit that it is quite easy to maintain. Some options for ground cover include hosta and sweet woodruff.
If you plan to get a professional gardener or landscaper, always get references or ask people who they recommend. Price is very important, but so is quality. Being able to see properties that the landscaper completed will give you a better idea if the landscaper is a good fit for your needs.
Before you decide on a landscape plan, be sure to consider the amount of maintenance it will require. Depending on the plants you use and the climate you live in, you could need to water your lawn everyday. Additionally, some grasses may require you to cut your lawn more than once per week. Be sure you have the time to care for your new lawn.
Before beginning a landscaping project investigate what it might do to your property tax bill. There are a number of projects that can greatly increase the value of your home, which will results in yearly payments via taxes on your landscaped yard. Be sure these costs are something you are willing to incur before you begin.
Purchase the largest tree that your budget allows. Even if you plan to live in your home for many years, remember that most trees grow very slowly. While you may only be able to afford a single tree, few landscaping elements make an impact as bold and attractive. Choose a tree that thrives in the native climate and soil type.
At nighttime, if you want to show off your lawn, plants, and other aspects of your outdoor area, you may want to invest in landscape lighting. These lights can be placed above your walkway, your lawn, or sidewalk and they can be purchased at many home improvement stores in your area.
Use an edger on your beds if you want your lawn to look well taken care of. An added bonus is that edging could raise the value of your residence as well; studies have shown that just by curving the edges on your flower beds, your property value could go up by one percent.
A water garden is a popular special feature to add. Buying the right supplies and plants at a speciality store may cost you a little bit extra, but the results can be well worth the expense. You will be able to get great tips from the employees at these very stores.
Kids and pets, or parties with family, there are many things to consider when renovating your yard. The tips you've read here are a great start, so keep them in mind as you figure out what your needs are. You'll find that your project is simpler thanks to the forethought you've put into it, giving you a successful renovation in no time at all!

It's pretty cool! The game froze once when I destroyed a block, not sure why.
It's a big improvement from the original game, keep it up!
A downloadable game for Windows
Play the original on Newgrounds.
Quick note : the original is nearly unplayable. it has plenty of performance issues as well bugs, it's nothing but an unfinished prototype of this game in platformer perspective.
Welcome to Drill Away 2, a game where you have to "Drill away" but unlike the first game, you also have to "Fire away" now, as you've got a gun in this game. this game is also more procedurally generated now.
The goal is to get as many points as possible and not get caught by ghosts while you make your way to the right side of the level, exit the area completely from the right side to move on to the next level. REMEMBER, if ghosts spot you at least once, they'll keep chasing you until you shoot them, they'll also get a lot faster. they'll also kill you on contact.
Pick up gems scattered around the level to get yourself a new weapon, or an "Aura" which protects you for a short while from ghosts by killing them on contact, or just get a few more points.

Thank you for thinking about nominating a child for Dreamflight. Please find following some information to help you and do feel free to contact the Dreamflight team if you have further questions. Please note that nominations for next year's trip open in January 2018, please refer back to this page at that time.
Dreamflight is a ten day annual trip to the theme parks of Florida for 8-14 year old children with a serious illness and/or disability. We aim to take children whose situations make it unlikely for them ever to be able to go on such a trip without the full medical, nursing and physiotherapy care we provide. This is a unique opportunity for children to go away without family members, to meet new friends and build confidence and independence. Dreamflight will take place between 14th - 24th October this year.
Only a medical professional responsible for the child's care can complete the nomination form.
Nomination forms for next year's trip can be downloaded from this page in January 2018 or requested by email firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone 01494 722733. For reference, here's our Medical Director's Letter and a typical Nomination Form.
To avoid disappointment we strongly recommend that applications are not discussed with children until the selection process is complete. A regional Dreamflight Group Leader will contact the nominator directly once all the applications have been reviewed. We aim to invite those children selected for the trip at the beginning of June.
Once invited, pre-trip meetings are arranged so families, guardians and Dreamflight children can meet their teams and have any questions answered. Dreamflight Group Leaders are always on hand to support.

Come learn about baking bread, Once-a-month/bulk cooking, making soap, sewing, self-sufficiency, what food storage is and how to start your own. What a 72 hr kit is and how to create one. I'm not an expert but I have been doing most of these skills for a long time. I like to be as self-sufficient as I can. I love learning new skills or ways of doing things at home instead of having to buy at the store. Come join me.

Sourdough mutiny
I decided to make pancakes. I have a nice recipe for it. I've made it before and I liked it.
Kids! Gotta love them.
I spent 20 mins whipping up a nice batch with extra to freeze. They each took one bite and went YUCK.
Then I tried one. I had to agree. It didn't taste too good.
Rule one.
Don't start this project if you have a tooth ache. You'll forget to feed it a couple of times and it will get VERY strong.
Rule two.
If they kids have never had rye flour before, don't make the start out of it. The taste will come through and they won't eat it.
Rule three.
If you ignore rule one and two, then you're going to have to do one of two things. Either throw out the starter or throw out the kids. I opted for keeping the kids. I'm not sure why. So I tossed the start.
Yes, I could have added some baking soda and sugar to sweeten it, but the damage has already been done. I need to let this subject sit for a while and then try revisiting it at a later date. Because until then, they won't even try it. Especially 18 dd who has a gourmet's set of taste buds and a water budget. (yes, this child CAN tell when the bread will break out in mold! She'd done it before. People have told her, naw, the bread is fine. Then later in the day, they'll find small spots of mold growing that wasn't there earlier.)
The tooth is doing better. It's still letting me know it's there, but not so badly that I'm taking anything for the pain. It usually only hurts when I have forgotten and chewed on that side, then I will notice a little later that my jaw is sore.
It makes me grateful that we have antibiotics - even though I do detest taking them.

I will bring you some of my starter.Richie loved the rolls it made and he doesn't like food usually that doesn't have an expiration date!!

Hey, I didn't know anyone was actually reading my blog.
Thanks! I like the sour dough, but with my tooth acting up the last few weeks, I shouldn't even have started that project!
Eric said he'd try it again.
Is Richie or Josh L. coming to the Field Day? Eric's afraid he's going to be the only older kid there.

Just found your blog. My sourdough starter isn't sour at all. Not sure what I did wrong. I need to throw it out and try another. Did you capture wild yeast or buy yours somewhere?

Universal - 2003 - 62 minutes
Marking their twentieth year in the business, the Bon Jovi boys have created a greatest hits compilation with a twist, reworking some of their best-known songs in a more acoustic vein.
For a band credited with starting the unplugged movement, this 'left turn' is not that unusual. However, it is surprising how different many of the songs become when they've been pared back. 'Livin' On a Prayer' becomes a soulful duet, with Olivia d'Abo (Fred Savage's sister on The Wonder Years) singing along with Jon Bon Jovi. 'It's My Life', becomes more introspective and 'Keep The Faith' is now a heartfelt prayer.
Naturally, fans know the songs, so the real test is whether these new versions stand up to the old ones - and they do. This collection shows how the music can change lyrics, bringing new life and meaning to them.
This is a brave move for a band so associated with stadium rock. Hard-core fans may not appreciate such a toned down, acoustic offering, but the band should be commended for pulling it off so well. The songs sound great and these new versions are sure to become classics in their own right. In short 'This Left...' really does feel right.
Katie Moten
Tracklisting: Wanted Dead Or Alive - Livin' On A Prayer (featuring Olivia d'Abo) - Bad Medicine - It's My Life - Lay Your Hands On Me - You Give Love A Bad Name - Bed Of Roses - Everyday - Born to Be My Baby - Keep The Faith - I'll Be There For You - Always - The Distance (Live) - Joey (Live)

Hello all !! I have another journal page to share with you. I guess today I had flowers on the brain. I acutally had been thinking about flowers for a few weeks now, but just never had the intention of putting out in my art journal until I couldn't take it anymore and had to get it out, lol. I guess with the summer starting to whine down ever so slowly I just thought I might create something in the spirit of summer and all the pretty flowers. So thats what this page is all about, and also just taking the time out to enjoy life and be happy. Like the old saying goes, sometimes you just have to stop and smell the flowers(I know it's roses and not flowers, but hey it's my art and my journal page, lol !!). Until next time, take care !!!

Playing with Texture
Good evening lovies ! I have been wanting to experiment and play around a little with texture in my art journal but I guess I never really had the nerve to, lol. So I decided today would be the day to stop being afraid and start, and this what I came up with. I used a variety of papers, scraps, cut outs, ribbon, stickers, and sooooooo much more stuff. I think the page turned out pretty darn good if I must say so myself:) The only thing is now waiting for all those layers of Mod Podge to dry, lol ! Until next time, hugs and kisses, muh !!!!

Minneapolis and St. Paul consistently rank among the top cities for "most literate." We read. A lot. I suspect that part of the reason are weeks like this past one -- with below zero temps, wind chill advisories, snow, sleet and slick roads. What better thing to do than curl up in a blanket with a book?
While the rest of America has been reading 50 Shades of Grey or perhaps the Lincoln biography, I have tried to catch up on history reading for the museum, such as this memoir From Danmark to America: The American Dream recently donated by a former resident Paul A. Thompsen.
Paul chronicles his family roots in Denmark and the hardships his immigrant "parents endured so that we could have greater opportunities that weren't available to them in the old country," Paul wrote in a letter to the Historical Society.
On Dec. 29, 1937, when Paul was two years old, his parents bought a farm in the Cahill district of Edina. "Our farm sat just below the highest point on Valley View Road which provided a beautiful view of the valley and rich farm land. The southernmost property line was at the intersection of Antrim Road and Valley Road. The location of the house and farm buildings was about where Lois Lane and Valley View Road intersect today." (See Google map.)
Here's an aerial of the farm in 1947, courtesy NETR Online Historic Aerials. You can go to the web site and zoom in, as well as look at the development of the land throughout the years.
The Thompsen farm, located in the Irish Cahill community, became a gathering spot for Danish immigrants living in the metro area. Every June, the Thompsens hosted the annual Fugle Skydning festival, which commemorated bird hunting. One year, the shooting drew the attention of Edina police who "tried to confiscate the guns to halt the shooting but when they found out all the action was on our property with safety precautions observed, they had to apologize and leave," Paul wrote.
Paul included some great photos of the farm, his one-room Cahill School and classmates, and family gatherings.
I enjoyed Paul's descriptions of life on the farm, which didn't have electricity until 1941.
At the same time, the Thompsens installed an indoor bathroom for the first time with running water, a toilet and a bathtub. "No more outhouse, thank heavens!" Paul writes. "Prior to electricity, we had to the pump house to draw the water, about 125 feet away. Then we had to carry the water to the house for drinking, cleaning or bathing."
On Aug. 1, 1942, a lightning bolt struck one of the barns, filled with 5,000 bales of hay, and set the building ablaze. The Hopkins and Edina fire trucks had to drive to Nine Mile Creek about a half-mile away to keep refilling their tanks. They could do little but prevent the house from catching fire, and two barns burned to the ground.
Despite the setback, Thompsens rebuilt and paid off the farm in 1944, and Paul's father "considered becoming a gentleman farmer." Within a few months, however, he was feeling unwell and sought out a chiropractor. He died at age 56 after climbing the stairs to his first appointment.
Paul was just nine years old, with three older sisters. Although the family tried to continue farming with the help of hired hands, the farm was sold in 1946 and the family moved to 5255 France Avenue in Minneapolis.
I enjoyed the memoir as much as any bestselling novel. The self-published book isn't for sale, but can be read during regular museum hours at the Edina History Museum.
Paul now lives in San Diego and when he called recently, he (like every warm weather transplant I have ever met) asked about the weather, "It's 70 degrees here... what's it like in Minnesota?" This week, I'd have to say, "Good reading weather."
When I came across this photo, I was sure I had seen this building before but I couldn't quite place it. (I felt like I did when I ran into someone from high school in the grocery store. She looked familiar but time had changed her enough that I couldn't come up with a name.)
Do you recognize this building, which apparently housed Nolan's Salon of Beauty in 1959?
You sharp-eyed readers no doubt could immediately tell that it's the well-known building at the corner of Kellogg Avenue and Valley View Road that more recently has housed Edina Montessori and The Neighborhood Ice Cream Shoppe. (See Google street view below of 6133 Kellogg Avenue.)
I should have recognized the building sooner. While the storefronts are different, the building itself hasn't changed that much over 50-plus years, other than transforming from a treeless lot to one with giant trees on the north side.
Here's the building from the Valley View Road side, showing Kleven Valley View Drug. More recently, it housed Clancy Drug after the store moved from its 50th and France location, across from the Edina Theater.)
Here's a slightly different view of the same side.
The phone book for 1959 also tells me that the building also housed Horner's Corner Dairy Store and dental offices, a collection agency and other businesses (presumably upstairs.)

This invention relates to refuse receptacles or containers and the like. It relates particularly to those in which liners are stored for use within the receptacle so as to be available as required to line the interior thereof and facilitate the collection and disposal of waste and other refuse material deposited therein.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,300,082, 3,392,825, 3,451,453, 3,481,112, 3,760,975 and 3,800,503 are exemplary of previously-disclosed waste or refuse receptacles in which a supply of interleaved or end-to-end connected bags are stored in a provided area of the receptacle bottom for dispensing one at a time to line the interior of the receptacle or container. In these known receptacles, the end bag is grasped and pulled up through the receptacle interior, opened and spread out to conform to the interior of the receptacle. The open end of the bag is then everted over the top edge of the receptacle. When filled with refuse, the everted end of the bag is removed from about the receptacle upper edge, closed and tied or otherwise sealed for disposal. The bag is then raised out through the top end of the receptacle, this act drawing the next bag of the roll into position. At that time, the full bag is separated from the roll as along a provided perforation line. The steps of opening, spreading out and everting the end of the bag over the top edge of the receptacle are then repeated for the next bag which readies the receptacle to receive more waste or refuse.
The inventors, however, are unaware that such receptacles are available in the marketplace; and, since such a concept is believed to portend great utility, a principal object of this invention is to provide such a receptacle which is both commercially practical to produce and manufacture and at the same time is sufficiently simple in structure and convenient to use as to satisfy the needs of the consumer.
In accordance with this invention, the shape of the receptacle or container itself is not critical. It may be round or rectangular in shape and can be molded of suitable plastics such as polypropylene.
A feature of the refuse receptacle or container is that its bottom wall contains an integrally-molded storage bin which opens through the bottom wall of the container into the interior thereof. The base is rectangular in shape and sized for convenient insertion of the roll of bag lines. The base of the bin is rounded or cylindrical in shape so that the roll of bags rests on a curved seat corresponding to its own shape and the base of the bin is located at a depth such that the bin accepts a full size roll of end-to-end connected bags which lies wholly below the level of the container bottom wall.
A further feature of the invention is that the opening of the bin through the container bottom wall is closed by a cover which frictionally catches thereto, the cover having a slot which extends axially of the bin and preferably adjacent one of the two longer sides of the lid, this slot serving to guide the bag liners as they are pulled off the roll to renew lining of the container interior.
Other features of the invention are that the cover, being readily detachable, facilitates the installation of a new roll of end-to-end connected bag liners as each roll is consumed. The cover is preferably of a plastic material sufficiently rigid that in closing off the container bottom wall opening into the bin, it supports the weight of the refuse deposited into the receptacle container. It also positions the roll on a curved seat so that the roll freely turns during the act of pulling the end bag through the slot to renew the lining of the container interior.
A further important feature of the invention is that a small storage area is conveniently provided at the top edge of the refuse container for the ties or string pieces which are utilized to close the filled bag liners. The ties are, therefore, conveniently available for use as required.
The invention also includes a novel construction of cover for closing the open end of the bag liner storage bin which is both practical to manufacture as well as one that is simple and convenient to use by the consumer.
Other objects, advantages and features of the invention will be at once apparent or will become apparent upon consideration of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention which now will be described in connection with the figures comprising the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to the drawings:
FIG. 1 illustrates one form of the invention and schematically demonstrates its use;
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken through the waste or refuse receptacle illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows on a larger scale, the assembly of the closure cover over the bin opening;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 2 looking in the direction indicated by the arrows and illustrates the disposition and shape of the surrounding shelf or ledge on the bottom wall about the bin opening against which the cover is assembled;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the closure cover; the cover being illustrated separate from the other components of the refuse receptacle;
FIG. 6 is a fragmented view generally similar to the view illustrated by FIG. 3 but disposed at right angles thereto and illustrates the bin closure cover over the bin and aligned therewith for assembly; and
FIG. 7 is a view generally similar to FIG. 3 but on a larger scale and illustrates the assembly of the bin closure cover to the bottom wall of the container.
Referring now more specifically to the several views taken like parts are identified by like reference numerals, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the invention embodied in a container 10 which is preferably molded in one piece of polypropylene or other suitable plastic. It may also be formed of sheet metal, fibre board or other material of which waste and/or refuse receptacles are conventionally formed. As illustrated, container 10 is generally round in cross-section and embodies an upstanding wall 12 which is slightly flared such that its open-top end 14 is of larger diameter than is its pedestal-constituting lower end 16. Container 10, however, may be of any other conventional shape. For example, it may be oval or rectangular in cross-section and with or without rounded corners.
In accordance with this invention, bottom wall 18 of the container is spaced above the pedestal-constituting lower end 16 of the container 10 and contains a depending storage bin 20 for a roll of end-to-end connected liner bags identified generally at R. Bottom wall 18 of the container is shown spaced above the pedestal-constituting lower end 16 of the container at a height such that the depending bin 20 is spaced off and does not contact the supporting surface on which the receptacle stands. Preferably, bin 20 is molded with, and comprises an integral part of, the container bottom wall 18. Conceivably, it also could be separately formed and cemented or otherwise fixed to the underside of the container bottom wall 18. As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, bin 20 communicates with the interior of the container through an opening 30 in the container bottom wall 18 which is closed by a detachable cover 24 containing a slot 22 through which the free end of a roll of end-to-end connected bags B stored in bin 20 is dispensed or guided for use in lining the interior of the container as afterwards explained.
The base of the bin 20 is rounded or cylindrical in shape so as to provide a curved seat 26 on which the roll R rests. Usefully, axis 28 of said cylindrically-curved seat 26 coincides with the axis of a full size roll of liner bags which is stored in the bin. Said roll R as is conventional, comprises a length of tubular film stock of plastic e.g., 2 millimeters thick, which is interrupted at regular intervals by a heat seal HS across the width thereof and followed by a line of perforations TL thereacross (as is conventional) Thus, the length of tubular stock comprises end-to-end bags detachably connected by a line of perforations, said bags being suitably dimensioned so that each, when dispensed through slot 22 in cover 24, may be opened and spread apart or expanded to conform to the shape of the container interior through its full width and height of the container. Preferably, said end-to-end connected bags are so folded that roll R has an axial dimension less than the diameter of the container which they are to line.
In accordance with this invention, both the axial length and depth of the bin 20 are only slightly greater than the corresponding axial length and diameter of the rolled bags such that the roll R lies wholly below the container bottom roll 18; and when viewed horizontally, bin 20 has a generally rectangular shape as illustrated in FIG. 4, the width and length of which only slightly exceed the dimensions of roll R, wherefor the roll R is free to rotate on the curved seat 26 but is otherwise restrained against sidewise displacement.
Bin 20 communicates with the interior of container 10 through the aforementioned generally rectangular-shaped opening 30 in the container bottom wall. The dimensions of said opening preferably approximate the greatest width and length of the bin. The length and width of the bin should align with the corresponding dimension of the opening 30 and the bin opening should be of sufficient size for convenience in loading a fresh roll of bags therethrough into the bin 20.
In accordance with this invention, the bin opening 30 is closed by the aforementioned cover 24 which is provided with releasable locking means which serve to frictionally secure the cover in place over the bin opening 30.
Cover 24 serves to support the weight of the refuse or waste which is deposited into the bag B lining the container 10 so that it does not encroach into the confines of the bin. It also cooperates with the curved seat, sides and ends of the bin 20 to confine the roll while facilitating its response to the pull of the end bag B through guide slot 22 such that the unrolling of the bags within the bin proceeds freely and substantially unhibited.
Considering now also FIGS. 4-7, the container bottom wall 18 preferably contains recessed ledge or shelf 32 (FIG. 4) which extends about the periphery of opening 30, is also rectangular in shape and is dimensioned to snugly receive and locate the marginal portions of the rectangular shape cover 24. The thickness of the cover 24 also approximates the depth to which the shelf 32 is recessed such that when assembled over opening 30, the cover seats not only snugly against the outer walls of the recessed shelf 32 so that it resists lateral movement but also is flush with the container bottom wall. Cover 24 is preferably molded of a suitable plastic such as polypropylene in one piece, and has a plurality of spaced tabs 36 along each of its two longer sides. As shown best in FIGS. 5 and 7, tabs 36 which are spaced along one of said longer sides of the cover lie in a plane generally parallel to the plane top surface of the cover body but disposed a distance therebelow which substantially equals the thickness of the bottom wall 18. Tabs 38 on the opposite one of the longer sides of the closure cover member 24 are illustrated as formed in the plane of the cover body but bendable therefrom along a fold line or groove 40 which allows said tabs to be bent or flexed out of the plane of the cover 24. FIG. 5 illustrates the cover provided with three spaced tabs 36 and two spaced tabs 38 on its opposite side. However, any other appropriate number of tabs may be utilized. As illustrated by FIG. 4, the bottom wall of the container is provided with a corresponding number of slots 44 and 46 which are spaced apart and adjacent the outer edge 34 of shelf 32 receive tabs 36 and 38.
Thus, referring now to FIG. 7, cover 24 is readily assembled over opening 30 in the bottom wall of the container by first locating cover 24 in a vertical position as illustrated by phantom lines 24a. In this position, tabs 36 on the cover 24 align with slots 44 and are inserted therethrough such that they engage the under side of the cover and constitutes hinges on which the cover 24 is then ratated to close opening 30. As the cover 24 is rotated into its closed position illustrated by phantom lines 24b, tabs 38 are bent so that they pass through receiving slots 46, and their hooked ends 42 catch beneath abutments 48 releaseably locking the cover to the container bottom wall. Thereafter, the cover 24 is easily separated by inserting two fingers of one hand through the provided finger holes 50 and lifting the cover while simultaneously pulling thereon in the direction of slots 44. This action effectively releases the hooked end 42 of tabs 38 from beneath the abutments 48 and allows the cover 24 to be swung to vertical position 24a in which the position separation of the cover is completed by lifting the cover to move tabs 36 through slots 44.
Preferably, as illustrated in FIG. 5, guide slot 22 in the cover 24 through which the free end of the roll of bags R feeds is located immediately adjacent the longer side of the cover 24 and adjacent the shorter tabs 36 on which the cover hinges during the closing act. In said location, any resistance by the cover to the pull of the bags through slot 22 is exerted against the hinge-forming tabs 36 which cannot be separated from the container bottom wall except when the cover is disposed in its vertical position as suggested at 24a.
Thus, with the cover removed, a roll of liner bags R is located in the bin 20 through opening 30. The cover is then assembled by first positioning its hinge tabs 36 through slots 44. Next, the free end of the roll R is threaded through slot 22 in the cover 24 and the cover rotated to its horizontal position illustrated at 24b. Before reaching said position 24b, the longer tabs 38 of the cover are bent back along fold line 40 so that they are positioned to pass through slots 46 and hook about abutments 48. In this position, cover 24 fits snugly against side 34 of shelf 32 flush with the upper surface of the container bottom wall and is not free to move laterally. The cover 30 therefore remains assembled with the container bottom wall and opening 30 into the bin 20 is closed thereby.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, lining of the interior of the container is accomplished by drawing the free end of roll R through slot 22 and upwardly to the top of the container. The thus dispensed end bag B' is then opened and conformed to the interior shape of the contianer 10 and its outer end everted over the top end 14 of the container. When filled with refuse and/or waste, the everted end of the bag B' can be lifted off the container top end 14, gathered and tied, using a tie member T from a supply thereof shown stored in a receiving pocket 60 on the inner side of the container 10. The filled bag B' is then fully raised out of the container 10 pulling the next bag B" through the cover slot 22. As the filled bag B' exits from the container, it is separated from bag B" by tearing or pulling across the perforated line TL. Bag B" is then spread out and conformed to the interior of the container and its outer end everted over the top end 14 of the container and is thus ready for deposit of additional refuse and waste material.
It will be appreciated that the tie storage area 60 for ties T may be formed during molding of the container itself; or, it may be formed as a separate member which is then affixed to the container wall 12 as by cementing. As illustrated in FIG. 1, preferably the tie storage member 60 is affixed to the inner surface of the container wall 12 as by cementing. As illustrated in FIG. 1, preferably the tie storage member 60 is affixed to the inner surface of the container wall 12 immediately below the opened top end 14 thereof so that in the use of the refuse receptacle, the ties are enclosed and concealed from view by the everted end of the bag B. However, it could be affixed to the outer surface of the container wall 12 or in any other suitable location.

Skywatch Friday is a meme on Friday that provides professional and amateur and newbies, like me to share our sky photos with one another. I'm learning a lot in photography. I suppose one never stops learning and that's a good thing.
Book Beginnings is a meme on Friday that is hosted by Katy from A Few More Pages. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.
-- Creative Is A Verb by Patti Digh
Patti Digh's book encourages one to use their creative spirit.
"While you are piecing together the map of your life, stepping as nimbly as you can out of the mulch of your thoughts, the busy traffic of your heart, while you attempt grace and magic and the blessing of your soft, surrendered kiss, while you are fathoming the stretch you will need for the wide and rocky jungle of your own happiness, while you are hunkering down to a piece of dark bread and the odd, welcome relief of hunger, don't forget to write."
The Page 56 is a meme on Friday, hosted by Freda at Freda's Voice. Anyone can participate; just share any sentence or two found on page 56 of your book. Let us know who the author is and the name of that book you have quoted from.

Follow Friday is a weekly blog hop hosted by the good people over at Alison Can Read and Parajunkee. It's aim is to connect us book bloggers so we can get to know each other a little better. Come and join the fun!
This week's question:
Define what characteristics your favorite books share. Do they all have a kickass heroine or is the hot love interest the Alpha Male?
My Answer:
In children's picture books, you will find a protagonist who pretty much solves his/her problem or someone helps him/her. Sometimes you will find a layer of secondary characters but more than likely there will be an antagonist. My favorite children's books are funny, having a moral and with fantasy, there's talking animals and lots of action!
I'm linking up with the following blogs,
Happy Friday!

Cult Products Version 1: Women
Hello everyone! Here's a slightly longer post... We've decided to take the blog towards a slightly different direction. We're working to give you different content with the hope that this blog will serve as a platform for conversation.
Without further ado, here are my 'holy grail' products - things I use every day and will continue to purchase for many years. Leave a comment below and let me know what are your favourite products!
Shu Uemura Oil Cleanser – Anti/Oxi
Hands-down the best skin cleanser ever (and I've tried a LOT)! The Shu Uemura Anti/Oxi Oil Cleanser effortlessly removes all of my makeup (both face and eyes) and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. It also helped prevent breakouts from the polluted Hong Kong air last year when I studied abroad.
Normal cleansers tend to make my skin feel tight and often leave a waxy film that I notice when I rinse it off. Other oil cleansers I've tried (including Boscia, Dior, Josie Maran, Laura Mercier, Ole Henriksen, and La Mer) leave my skin feeling tight or greasy – some don't even take off makeup! Runners up are the Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil and the Dior Instant Gentle Cleansing Oil – but still nowhere near as good as the Shu Uemura oil cleansers!
There are seven different types of cleansing oils that cater to different skin needs* (list below). In the US, the 450mL bottles range from $67.00 - $81.00, but they should last a long time. The smaller 150mL bottles (great for travel) range from $31.00 - $37.00. Check Amazon as well because some a few dollars cheaper and qualify for free shipping.
* One and a half pumps is enough for me
Types of Oil Cleansers:
Blanc Chroma Cleansing Oil
Key features: newest to the cleansing oil line their most advanced 4D brightening formula, targets melano-stains on the skin's surface that cause skin tone darkness and harm healthy complexion, for all skin types
Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil
Key features: composed of 8 exquisite botanical origin oils from all over the world proven to have the highest skincare efficacy for a petal-soft silky smooth sensation, for all skin types
High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil Advanced Formula
Key features: Classic Shu Uemura cleansing oil reformulated with an advanced High Performance Cleansing Oil System for significantly improved removability of waterproof makeup for all skin types
Porefinist Anti-Shine Fresh Cleansing Oil
Key features: lightweight cleansing oil that leaves skin feeling fresh and refined, water-like formula that dissolves and washes away excess sebum and blackheads to clear pores, regulates sebum secretion day after die, blots shine, shrinks pores, doesn't leave skin pulled or parched, ideal for oily and acne-prone skin
Anti/Oxi Skin Refining Cleansing Oil
Key features: moringa extract and green tea extract creates a result of glowing clarity and refined smoothness, instantly captures and clears pollutants that accelerate aging stress, for all skin types
Whitefficient Clear Brightening Gentle Cleansing Oil
Key Features: removes melanin-filled dead cells for brightening, fortified with Mito-White Complex and Vitamin C to prevent accumulation of melanin, skin is left clarified and brightened, for all skin types
Cleansing Oil beauty Oil Premium A/I
Key Features: luxuriously rich, focuses on improving skin texture, leaves the skin moisturized and nourished, ideal for dry and sensitive skin conditions
Murad Acne Spot Treatment
To be honest, I haven't tried any other spot treatment but it's because I didn't have to! Sure, it stinks a little (maybe a lot) and stings a tiny bit, but it works – and that's the point right? I usually like to feel products working immediately, so I don't mind the tingly feeling at all. I dab a generous amount onto a spot I have before going to bed, and I'll do this every night until it's completely gone, which is usually within 2-3 days. It comes in a tiny 0.5oz tube, but it's a $16 investment (Sephora) that will last you forever! Be sure to get the one with SULFUR, not their new formula with benzoyl peroxide, which doesn't work as well or at all for some people.
L'Occitane Repairing Oil
Best leave-in daytime hair treatment! This is lightweight oil that nourishes your hair throughout the day. I prefer oils to lotions and creams because it's absorbed immediately and doesn't weight my hair down. It has a subtle soft, powdery smell, but it's very nice even for someone who doesn't like powdery smells. The best is to pump out a pea-sized amount, rub it between your hands, and distribute it through slightly wet hair. I find this gives me a bit of volume. It's $26 for 3.4 fl oz on their website.
Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips (Great for men too!)
I am seriously addicted to these. It hurts a little to peel off, but once you do, you can see all the dirt and build up pulled out into little spikes on the strip. If that's not proof that it works, I don't know what is! I usually buy mine on Amazon for $6.49 for 14 nose strips, but you should be able to find them in your local drug stores.
Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask (Also great for both men and women!)
This is a must for winter and long plane rides (it's clear so no one will know you have something on)! It's a hydrating mask that seals in moisture and creates a protective barrier on your skin. I like to put a good amount on after cleansing my skin, including around my eye area. Then I let it dry for ten to fifteen minutes before crawling into bed, so it doesn't get on my pillow and sheets. In the morning, I rinse off whatever my skin didn't need. My skin is left feeling plump and nourished. It's $25.00 for 100mL on the Origins website.
I've used Bioderma for several years now. It's the first step to my nightly skincare routine (post coming soon!). It's gentle, effective at removing makeup, and perfect for my sensitive skin. There's a reason why it's so loved by beauty bloggers and YouTubers! They usually come packs of two for 17-20€ in French pharmacies or $12.98 + $4.15 shipping for one (250mL) from Amazon in the US.

Most brands have a great story that epitomizes their product, service or just the aura of the brand itself. From the smallest to the largest brand, the story is one of the first brand elements that can scale. It's the one thing that levels the playing field across segments, consumer culture and brand innovation.
Today's brand stories have faltered though. With the onslaught of social media and the rush to what seemed to be FREE marketing, brands are forgetting that one invaluable piece, which is to tell the story. Recognizable storytellers are brands like Chipotle and Red Bull, but there are so many others that are breaking the rules now in how storytelling is becoming an art.
The challenge that brands have is to determine where the storytelling belongs within the organization. My belief is that it belongs to the ambassadors of the brand – no longer is it the right or domain of marketing or even the CEO. Like most great stories, there are many chapters and many characters. The brands that capture this are the ones that will soon be known to the masses.
The Ad Shift: Tell Your Story
The advertising shift is beginning to take place with embedded storytelling, which is similar to the hot topic area of native advertising. With embedded stories, the focus of the story becomes so much more than the eventual ad that is delivered in concepts like Native Advertising. It's complicated, but the root of the matter is that each story must have these three elements to become an embedded story. Read More

More British jazz today, this time modern rather than traditional. I had never heard of the Scottish trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar until I found this intriguing album a couple of years ago. But I knew many of the other musicians, who were among the cream of the British modern jazz scene. Among them are saxophonists Derek Humble and Tubby Hayes, pianists Victor Feldman and Stan Tracey, and drummers Phil Seamen and Tony Crombie. Pub Crawling was recorded in London in 1955 and 1956 for issue in the U.S. Contemporary label.
The six original compositions on the album, all by Deuchar, are named after brands of beer: "Special IPA," "Bass House," "Final Selection," etc. The playing is as excellent as are the compositions. To international audiences, Victor Feldman is probably the biggest name here, followed by Tubby Hayes. But Deuchar is an intriguing, original voice, poised somewhere between Miles Davis and Kenny Dorham. In the end, a minor figure in jazz, but I'm glad I made his acquaintance via this record.

Thin Film Electronics: Cowen Sees Big Growth in IoT Sensors
Cowen & Co.'s Robert Stone, who started shares of Oslo, Norway-based Thin Film Electronics (THINOL) on June 29th with an Outperform rating, this afternoon offers a follow-up, with estimates suggesting some eye-popping growth.
Thin Film also trades under an American Depository Receipt, with the ticker " TFECY" on the Nasdaq over-the-counter market. Those shares were fetching $5.58 at Thursday's close.
Stone is the first one on the Street to formally cover the company, according to FactSet. His revenue numbers have the company rising from $4.5 million last year to $5.6 million this year, $31 million next year, and $450 million come 2020. With gross profit of around 52% by 2020, the company could turn profitable by 2018 and be making $1.34 per American Depository Receipt by 2020.
Stone followed with another note today, regarding the company's announcement of a "smart wine bottle" that will use its technology, writing "We view this news as a positive sign of market development."
Thin Film produces sensors that are a tiny strip of material whose conductivity properties change with the change in environmental conditions, such as change in temperature. They are fashioned not with semiconductor techniques, but rather through a process of "extrusion." They are so tiny they can be embedded in packaged goods and other objects to allow for things such as wireless inventory monitoring and theft prevention.
Thin Film is able to print logic circuits, memory circuits, and wireless antennae on bendable strips that can be stuck on objects. They also license for flexible batteries to power these "tags."
More on the company can be found in the profile I did in this space last September.
I spoke with Stone by telephone yesterday evening, and he laid out for me his expectations for the company. The core belief is "This year they are just starting to ship various new products" after doing a lot of proof-of-concept work for years, he says.
First are the anti-theft tags, the "EAS," or electronic article surveillance tags.
He says of Thin Film's breakthrough,
This is usually an ugly plastic thing they rivet onto clothes, say, which is expensive and doesn't help the style, and can't be used in the case of shoes. Theirs, in contrast, is a very thin thing that can be embedded in the product. They're being deployed now by a fast fashion retailer, unnamed, with the first order just having started shipping in Q1.
Next up are the "OpenSense" tags, "which they showed a prototype of at MWC [Mobile World Congress] with [spirits maker] Diageo (DEO). Those "are just going into pilots in Q3 and Q4," he says.
"There are still a number of things that have to be tested and figured out, such as what the best way is to attach the tag to a bottle, with different bottle types, some clear, some not, etc."
The big thing, says Stone, is how the company's manufacturing of the tags can be improved in the coming years to lead to massive volume of tags, which will make it economical to slap them on every conceivable product, in millions and millions of units, for pennies a piece.
They have a manufacturing facility in San Jose, which is sheet-processed today, and that is going to be "de-bottlenecked," and we expect the full benefit to be finished by Q1 of 2017. Later comes roll-to-roll printing, and that is phenomenal in terms of the capacity they can achieve. It doesn't require any new invention, but they have to make some engineering decisions about certain aspects of the process, such as one step that requires heat to be applied. Today, that's done with an oven, and there are ways such as an in-line oven that's used on circuit boards. You you could use laser annealing, instead. It's all a question of working out those equipment decisions. They've said it'll take 24 to 36 months to complete that process and turn on a line.
So, the de-bottlenecking of the sheet-fed process, first, will get them to 150 million units of annual capacity, which translates into 120 million units of OpenSens tags. They'll be spending $17.5 million on that de-bottlenecking. Then, the first roll-to-roll, we think, they'll turn on at the end of 2017. That will cost $25 million in capex, but it will have over a billion units of capacity. When that ramps is when they really get the leverage in terms of throughput. The number of units of just beverages can run to billions of units per year, and there are all sorts of other consumers goods, such as cosmetics and tobacco products, and various types of luxury goods. EAS itself could go to billions of units, too.
All that will require some further capital raises, and Stone imagines the company having two more rounds of financing through 2020. Will investors pony up? Stone, who's tracked other emerging technology companies over the years, such as Universal Display (OLED), points out that Thin Film has been "developing this for quite a while," and so it's not science fiction, and the company has built credibility.
"They've raised money each of last three years," he notes.
There are investors who are looking at the large future potential for IoT -- printed electronics that get you to a level of volume you can't do with conventional semiconductors. What we assume is that if they've got the customers for this volume, such as Diageo and others who want the output, then it won't be difficult to get existing and new investors to put in $25 million to build such a line, to produce $200 million to $250 million in annual sales at a 50% gross margin. The return on investment for that is a no-brainer.

Opower Energy Efficiency Platform
Engage consumers in reducing energy consumption.
Expand product features while doubling number of clients and users.
My Contributions

Sketches and Wireframes
Usability Evaluation
Developer Support
Colleen Koranda, UX Designer
Jim Jones, Visual Designer
Deena Rosen, UX Manager
Opower is a pioneer in behavioral energy efficiency—a platform of communications and software tools that nudge consumers towards using less energy in their homes.
When I joined, the flagship product—the Home Energy Report—had been on the market for ~2 years, producing substantial results in energy efficiency.
During my tenure, product development focused on expanding the functionality of the web product, while also scaling from ~20 to 50+ utility clients, more than doubling our user base.
Working with Agile development (3-week sprints), our design process moved quickly and iteratively, involving close collaboration with product managers, engineers, and frequent usability testing.
I delivered wireframes and functional specification for 15 product releases.
Key Design Challenges
Designing for everyone
Opower users include everyone who receives a utility bill—a group that is extremely diverse in both knowledge and motivation. This presents a challenge to taking different user perspectives into account in order to satisfy both novices and experts, skeptics and the converted.
Developing UX Strategy
In a period of rapid growth, client feature requests and tech debt have a way of dominating the product roadmap. It was important for the UX team to find time to develop and evangelize a broader vision for addressing user needs and improving the overall experience.
User Research
The key to solving both challenges was in developing a deep understanding of our users and their reactions to the product.
The UX team collected ~40 hour-long phone interviews with consumers who had received reports for more than 6 months. The conversations elicited a rich narrative of each user's reaction to the reports as it evolved over time.
I personally recruited and moderated 12 interview sessions.
To analyze the data, the UX team gathered for an all-day off-site. As a group we used affinity diagramming exercises to generate a list of key attributes that distinguished the participants. We then identified cluster patterns of characteristics that represented our core user personas.
We created 7 user personas representing various attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors that were revealed in our research.
We distributed the personas throughout the company in various formats: posters, slides, and cards.
Design Principles
We also a developed a set of 9 design principles to serve as guiding rationale for our design decisions.
Each principle names a particular of quality that we want our products to embody, then provides explanation of how we achieve these qualities.
UX Backlog
Our research revealed a number of issues that were currently limiting the user experience.
To communicate these we created a prioritized backlog in JIRA where UX issues are described along with proposed solutions.
This helped Product Managers consider UX concerns when prioritizing user stories for development.
Concept Sketches
We brainstormed and sketched new features and enhancements to solve the most pressing UX issues.
Many of our ideas focused on providing more personalized and actionable recommendations.
For example, by inviting users to tell us more details about their home, we can then provide tailored advice about the most impactful ways to save.
Our research, strategy, and design work helped define the core experience for what has become the market leader in energy efficiency and customer engagement.
Opower products are now used by 100 utilites and reach over 60 million users worldwide.
The energy efficiency platform has helped customers save over $1.1 bilion in energy costs and over 13 billion lbs of C02.

Happy Travels: Egypt Update
Hey, PDers! Well, it seems that even the Egyptian President himself, Mohamed Morsi, wants you to know that Egypt is perfectly safe for tourists. Believe me, my friend! Believe me!
After Israel's counter-terrorism office told all of their citizens and fellow Jews to "immediately" leave Egypt's Sinai peninsula last Thursday, August 2 nd, Morsi made haste to the airwaves to inform tourists that the Egyptian Government was making every effort to prevent any trouble in the region.
"Egypt is safer than before and open to all, and Luxor will remain the capital of tourism and antiquities." President Morsi continued with, "Here, you have security. Move around freely and make the most of Egypt's climate and ancient civilization. We will do everything possible to ensure you enjoy your stay in Egypt."
On an unrelated note, yesterday, Sunday, August 5th, Islamist gunmen killed 15 Egyptian policemen and seized an army tank during an assault on a Sinai police station, close to the Israeli border. Say, wha?
Supposedly it is being considered the deadliest attack on the region in at least two decades, but hey, if Morsi says it's cool, who is PD to argue?

uh ooooooh
Alex first picked up the concept of "uh oh" in March. Back then it came out more like "uh-uh". It was really more of a sound than a word or phrase but he did use it in the right context. The first time he did it I wasn't quite sure I'd heard right so I picked up the book he had just dropped and of course he did it again. Typical Mom, I was overjoyed with this "advance" in communication and he could tell so we repeated the exercise at least a hundred and one times that day (we were on a plane to Minnesota so what else did we have to do?) This continued for a few weeks and then he apparently tired of "uh uh" because it pretty much disappeared from his repitoire. Until last week. I can't even tell you how it started again but all we hear is "uh oooooh" all the time. And it sounds like a real "word"! You can actually hear his little voice! We obviously think it's pretty cute.

No matter how health-conscious your eating habits, everyone needs a little dessert sometimes. Pumpkin is perfect when you want a healthy treat. That way, you can have all of the enjoyment without any of the guilt.
The pumpkin is an American original. Pumpkins, belonging to the squash family, have an understated taste that lends itself well to a variety of dishes. Besides, pumpkins make a great fat substitute in baking.
Health Benefits
The distinctive bright orange color of pumpkin clearly indicates that it's an excellent source of that all-important antioxidant beta-carotene. Research shows that people who eat a diet rich in beta-carotene are less likely to develop certain cancers than those who fail to include beta-carotene-rich foods in their diet.
