How did I get cockroaches?
This pest either passes from one adjoining unit to another or hitchhikes in on purchased items. Groceries, antiques, used appliances and even food delivery can introduce this pest.
How do I get rid of cockroaches?

Adult German cockroaches are light brown except for the shield behind the head marked with two dark stripes, which run lengthwise on the body, and about 5/8 inch long. Young roaches are wingless and nearly black with a single light stripe running down the middle of the back. Egg capsules are light tan.
German cockroaches, are the most common roaches found in houses and restaurants. Most cockroaches have a flattened, oval shape, spiny legs, and long, filamentous antennae. Immature stages are smaller, have undeveloped wings and resemble the adults. They eat food of all kinds and may hitchhike into the house on egg cartons, soft drink cartons, sacks of potatoes or onions, used furniture, beer cases, etc.
They can develop into large populations and live throughout the house, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. During the day, these roaches may be found hiding clustered behind baseboard molding, in cracks around cabinets, closets or pantries, and in and under stoves, refrigerators and dishwashers. When seen during the day in clusters, the population is large.
Roaches can foul food, damage wallpaper and books, eat glue from furniture, and produce an unpleasant odor. Some homeowners are allergic to roaches. The pests can contaminate food with certain bacterial diseases that result in food poisoning, dysentery, or diarrhea.
American cockroaches are reddish brown and have a yellowish margin on the body region behind the head. They are usually around 1 and 1/2 inches long. When disturbed, may run rapidly and adults may fly. Immature cockroaches resemble adults except that they are wingless.
American cockroaches generally live in moist areas, but can survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer warm temperatures around 84 degrees Fahrenheit and do not tolerate cold temperatures. In residential areas, these cockroaches live in basements and sewers, and may move outdoors into yards during warm weather. These cockroaches are common in basements, crawl spaces, cracks and crevices of porches, foundations, and walkways adjacent to buildings. They feed on a wide variety of plant and animal material.
The Oriental cockroach known as the "water bug," is more closely associated with damp areas than the other common roaches. These insects feed on garbage and decaying organic matter and are often considered the filthiest of the house-infesting roaches. They are found in damp basements, cellars, crawl spaces, near drains, leaky water pipes and beneath refrigerators, sinks and washing machines, under floors, and inside walls. They forage mostly on first floors of buildings.
Outdoors, they are found beneath decomposing leaves or stones in mulching materials, in trash and at municipal sewer plants. During the autumn, there can be a mass movement into buildings, but because of their preference for cooler temperatures, can be found outdoors and in unheated buildings during the winter.
Adult Oriental cockroaches are shiny, dark brown or black, about 1 to 1-1/4-inch long and have nonfunctional wings incapable of flight. Females are about 1-1/4-inch long, broad and have only little pads for wings. Males are about one inch long, more slender and have wings not reaching the tip of the abdomen. Immature roaches (nymphs) are darker in color than adults, similarly shaped and wingless. Egg cases are dark reddish-brown, one inch long (largest of the common roaches), and appear slightly inflated.
Brown Banded
The adults are rather small cockroaches about 5/8 inch long. The adult male is slender in appearance with its wings extending beyond the tip of the abdomen. Adult females have shorter wings that expose a considerable portion of their broad abdomens. They have two light yellow or cream-colored bands across their backs. These bands tend to be hidden by the wings in the adults. The markings of the brown-banded cockroach are roughly crosswise while those of the German cockroach are lengthwise.
Brown-banded cockroaches are generally found on ceilings, high on walls, behind picture frames, and near motors of refrigerators and other appliances. They are also found in light switches, closets and furniture. They do not require as much moisture as the German cockroach which explains why they normally are found in rooms other than the kitchen or bathroom. These cockroaches dislike light and are not normally seen during the day.
Wood Roach (Pennsylvania)
Wood cockroaches, also known as wood roaches, are common outdoor dwelling insects native to North America and found throughout Iowa. Their normal habitat is moist woodland areas but they frequently become a household nuisance because they wander into or are carried into houses as "accidental invaders."
Wood roaches are very similar in appearance to the common household cockroach called the American roach; flat, oval body, long antennae, spiny legs, chestnut brown color. However, wood roaches are slightly smaller, about 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch long, and the adults, especially the males, appear tan because of the color of their wings. Adults and large nymphs of the wood roach can be recognized by a pale, creamy white or transparent stripe on the outer edge on the thorax. The pale edge extends onto the first 1/3 of the front wings of the adults. Positive identification of small nymphs is more difficult and usually requires microscopic examination.
Wood roaches that have wandered into the house usually behave differently than the household roaches. Wood roaches are not secretive; they are active both during the day and at night and they are less likely to scamper out of sight when approached. Also, they will wander about the house without congregating in any particular location.

Common setups used for small and medium networks include a firewall that processes all the requests from the internal network (LAN) to the Internet and from the Internet to the LAN.
This firewall is the only protection the internal network has in these setups and it handles any NAT (Network Address Translation), forwarding and filtering requests as necessary. In most cases, the firewall also runs public services accessible from the Internet, such as web services and e-mail services. Within such setups, the DMZ is thus installed on and limited, we may say, to the server.

At the deadline, peace talks are stalled.
We've been here before--peace talks break down and both sides rush to blame the other, exerting as much energy on the blame game as on peace talks themselves.
If we want a different result this time, we need to try something new. That's why we're asking Secretary Kerry to put forward an American framework for a two-state solution.
The framework will either provide a frame of reference for continued negotiations or force the two sides to make it clear what they're rejecting.
A number of prominent experts have advocated this path, and we believe it's the last, best chance of avoiding a breakdown and a return to violence and reprisals.
Act now. Tell Secretary Kerry to put a US framework on the table.

NEW DELHI (NPR's On Being) — On the day of his wedding, Ashok Jain's parents beat him mercilessly after he told them he married a Hindu woman.
"They didn't accept my marriage," said Mr. Jain, whose family practices Jainism, an ancient Indian religion that emphasizes non-violence. "They asked me to walk out of the home without anything… without even a toothbrush."
Ashok Jain left his parents' home in New Delhi 34 years ago with nothing but the clothes on this back. His marriage to Neena, a Bengali Hindu, tore his family apart; his parents, completely baffled by their son's desire to marry outside his Jain religion, disowned him. He would not see his parents until his son's first birthday, five years later.
In a traditional Indian marriage, partners are arranged for children by their parents, often at very young ages. The idea of wedding for love — let alone outside of one's community — is seen historically as taboo. But Mr. Jain's story of breaking conventional attitudes toward marriage constitutes a growing trend in India's urban communities that rejects arranged marriages as the only acceptable union.
"The more important thing which spoke to me — above love and all that — was that I had to live for my own identity," Mr. Jain, who works as a tour guide based in Delhi, said. "I wanted to stand on my own two feet and do what was right, regardless of any social pressure."
A Complex System of Class in Castes
Strict laws concerning marriage in India are fortified by caste, a complex system of social stratification indigenous to the subcontinent. The system is demarcated by four major groupings, known as the varnas, and further stratified into subcastes or jati.
Mr. Jain's family is from the third caste, known as the Vaishyas, which make up the merchant class of India. His wife, on the other hand, comes from a Brahman family, the highest caste.
"Surprisingly, the resistance came from my family, even though I was marrying up, so to speak, and she was marrying down," Mr. Jain said.
Ashok and Neena met in Buenos Aires in mid-1970s while both of their fathers worked in India's foreign service. At first, their families accepted Ashok and Neena's friendship because, "we needed a fourth person for bridge," Neena joked.
But when things became serious, Mr. Jain's family, which he describes as more traditional, became very reticent to the prospect of them getting married. The thought of ripping apart their families forced the two to separate.
"We had decided that she would go her way and see boys and I would go my ways and see other girls," Mr. Jain recalled. "We agreed to call each other when we decided to get married to someone else."
After numerous failed attempts by their parents to arrange a marriage for each of them, Ashok and Neena decided to forego tradition.
"When we made the phone call, I said 'I'm not getting married to anybody' and she said the same thing," Mr. Jain said. "And so we said, 'What the hell?'"
Back in Delhi, the two wed at an Arya Samaj temple, a small sect in Hinduism that, among other progressive ideas, denounced the caste system in 1978. Unlike the typical Indian wedding, which boasts hundreds of guests and lavish party decor, Ashok and Neena's marriage only included a few close friends; their wedding attendance, or lack thereof, would later exemplify the first few years of their lives together.
"Looking back, I was satisfied with whatever we had," Neena, who works in Argentina's New Delhi embassy, said. "It was hard to bring the kids up alone, especially the first year with my eldest son. Not having anyone to help me out, the frustration at times of taking care of our kids… that was hard."
Intercaste Marriage in Rural and Urban Areas of India
In Mr. Jain's India — which he describes as urban, educated, and modern — intercaste and interfaith marriages are becoming more commonplace. His two sons married sisters from the same Punjabi-Hindu family, and his close friends are made up of those who have either married outside of their faith or have progressive ideas about marriage.
"But my India is not the real India," Mr. Jain said. "Changing norms, changing traditions, breaking traditions. This is not happening for a large part of the country."
While India continues to modernize rapidly, more than 70 percent of the country's 1.2 billion people still live in rural areas. Attitudes toward intercaste or interfaith marriage in these rural areas continue to be traditional.
"Intercaste marriage is confined mostly to society's elite," said Sohail Hashmi, a writer and historian living in Delhi. "In [India's] major cities, if you fall in love with someone from the wrong caste, it's not so bad. But in rural parts of the country, marrying outside your caste could spell banishment or, in extreme cases, death."
The killings Mr. Hashmi references stem from well-known horror stories in Indian khaps, or social councils in rural villages.
A common afterthought in an interfaith or intercaste marriage is the identity of the couple's children. In a society that places great importance on one's caste and religion for the purpose of identity, the children of interfaith marriages run the risk of being ostracized by society.
But that was never a concern for Mr. Jain and his two sons. When asked what his children's caste or religion is, he responded emphatically, "No caste. No religion."
"If you were to break it down, I'd say geographically I'm from Delhi but do I follow religion? No, I don't," said Sunny, Mr. Jain's second son. "I had a very secular education as well, so until the end of high school I never really gave this a thought about 'who is who'."
When asked how he self-identifies, Sunny, a 30-year-old software entrepreneur, replied with a smile, "I don't."
Despite all turmoil associated with Ashok's decision to marry outside his community, he admitted he now holds a more favorable opinion of arranged marriage.
"There have been cases when young people have come to my wife and I and said, 'Oh uncle, you did this… so let us know what do you think?' I tell them that it is not an easy decision, but it's your decision," he said.
"You have to decide what you want, decide what is right and wrong… and then, you have to face the baby."

(Milford, CT) – Brian Sheehan (St. Louis, MO) scored his first two collegiate goals, but the Bentley Falcons defeated the Sacred Heart University Men's Hockey team 7-3 Tuesday night at the Milford Ice Pavilion.
Ben Ketchum (Greenwich, CT) opened the scoring at 11:23 of the first on a transition wrist-shot to the far post, assisted by Matt Gingera (Winnipeg, MB) and Eric Delong (Oakville, MB) following a neutral-ice turnover. However, Bentley stormed back 20 seconds later and scored on a goal by Brett Gensler, who cut to the middle from the near boards for a wrist shot on a rush started by Alex Greive and Tyler Quartuccio. The Falcons later took advantage of their fourth power play of the period, when Brett Hartung converted on a goal set up by Steve Weinstein and Jared Rickord.
Weinstein set up three more goals in the second, finishing with four assists on the night. He found Dan Koudys for a goal at 11:03 to give Bentley a 4-1 lead. SHU responded late in the period with a power play goal by Sheehan, who netted the first goal of his career with a far-side wrist shot on a rush begun by Torin Snydeman (Groton, MA) and Jordan Ciccarello (New Hartford, CT) at 18:06. The Falcons, however, responded 23 seconds later with a momentum-squelching goal by Brett Switzer, who's shot from the high slot snuck through Andrew Bodnarchuk (Saskatoon, SK).
Chris Paliafito (Shelbyville, KY) relieved Bodnarchuk in net for his first career minutes, and would go on to make eight saves. However, the Falcons solved him at 6:02 on another goal by Koudys, with Zach Marginsky picking up the assist. Sheehan scored on a goal-mouth redirect off another assist out of the far corner by Gingera, as well as a helper by Alex Stuart (Sauk Rapids, MN). Grieve added another for Bentley, putting home a second rebound after Paliafito made initial saves on Switzer and Gensler.
Sacred Heart looks to rebound at American International College on Friday, October 29 at 7:05 p.m.

Author, photographer Kevin Michael Connolly "Armed & Ready" for new adventures
No legs? No problem, says Kevin Michael Connolly, who was born without 'em, and at age 27, probably has accomplished more than most people twice his age with all of their limbs intact.
Let's list a few: Traveled around the world? Check. Written a memoir? Check. Had his photography exhibited at the Smithsonian? Check. Won silver at the X-Games in Aspen, dived off a 40-foot cliff, surfed, zip-lined, river-rafted…Yeah, yeah. Check, check, check, check, check.
Now Connolly has his own TV show, "Armed & Ready," which premieres Tuesday, Feb. 26, at 10|9c on the Travel Channel (check out a slideshow of photos from the show). The premise? He travels around the globe again – the same way he has since he was a kid, without a wheelchair or prosthetics – attempting all kinds of crazy adventures, usually with the help of engineers and scientists who MacGyver all sorts of devices to get him through it.
For instance, in the first episode, we find Connolly in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee playing lumberjack. He wants to climb a pole, which is going to require turning a banquet chair – yep, one of those ugly padded things that no one wants to sit on, let alone be attached to while scaling considerable heights – into a sort of climbing harness with teeth that Connolly, who quite necessarily has some serious guns, will have to alternately muscle into the pole and then yank upward.
Double-dog dare ya to try it that way.
"I really tapped into my inner 8-year-old," Connolly says from New York, where he's on his second cup of coffee, as jiggy as he's getting right now while on break from a show that he admits taps into his "inner masochist."
"For the most part, I came up with the initial ideas, and then it basically came down to, 'Kevin, what was your bucket list?' And then they took it and made it a little scarier," he says.
After watching the first two episodes – the one in the Smoky Mountains and another where Connolly surfs, cliff dives and rides a motorized mountain board on a lava slope in Hawaii – my take is that a big draw is Connolly's willingness to show real fear. There are plenty of adventure-based reality series out there with varying degrees of appeal, but a lot of them feature annoyingly self-assured folks tearing up the landscape with their bravado – but we all know there's usually a crew ready to shoot the wild animal or bail them out should things get hairy. Connolly admits that the producers had no problem exploiting it, but the truth is that when he asks for a second countdown before plunging off the side of a cliff, knowing that he could miss the mark and hit a rock, it feels real.
"Hands-down, the scariest experience for me was the jousting episode," Connolly says, referring to his experience in Colorado, where he has also skied Winter Park, Vail, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin. "We actually shot in Fort Collins, and from scratch they built me a custom jousting saddle. I pretty much fall over the front of the horse."
(That episode, by the way, was shot at Knight's Edge Jousting Academy at the Fort Collins Equestrian Center in September with Patrick Lambke, whom we wrote about in OutWest last April.)
Connolly is no stranger to pain, however – he broke his back at the X-Games in 2010, and came back the next year to try again, but wound up in the hospital with the flu and food poisoning. He learned how to mono-ski when his father basically sent him flying down a mountain in makeshift contraptions with the Montana "Dirtbag" set – remember, Connolly couldn't "pizza wedge" – and he wound up with a few concussions along the way.
"A lot of people ask, 'Are you a thrill-seeker?' And I wouldn't consider myself that," Connolly says. "I like new experiences, and I have a tendency to over-commit myself. As I've gotten older, though, I've started to pay a little more attention to what could happen."
There was only one experience for the show Connolly says he turned down, though, and that was feeding alligators. "I decided that I just don't have the speed, and I just don't have the limbs to spare," he says.
On the show, there are a few moments that may make you cringe, like when one of the surfer dudes is talking about sending Connolly out into the water to paddle for a while before they take on the waves, who says, "We'll get your feet wet." Connolly, however, doesn't blink. Foot references? "I get them all the time," he tells the mortified surfer, laughing to break the tension.
His sense of humor is another part of the show's, and Connolly's, charm. At one point, he is about to take off his pants, which he thinks look like a sort of purse, and he says, "One of the perks of not having legs is the ability to change very quickly." And then there is just the overall fascination with what he is capable of doing – which seems to be pretty endless.
I also highly recommend Connolly's memoir, "Double Take," which chronicles his upbringing in Helena, Mont., and his decision to begin photographing people staring at him – which ultimately took him around the world and resulted in more than 30,000 photos and multiple exhibits. The book is in development as a film with "House" co-creator Katie Jacobs as the director.
And who would Connolly like to play him in the movie? "Tracy Morgan," he says, without missing a beat.
Kyle Wagner is the editor of the Travel and OutWest sections at The Denver Post.

HOUSTON – With the Houston Dynamo currently on the outside looking in at the playoff race every match becomes that much more critical including Saturday night's showdown with the Columbus Crew, the top team in the Eastern Conference.
"Their defense is very stingy and they've got some explosive guys on the wings," said Dynamo defender Bobby Boswell. "[Guillermo Barros] Schelotto is a pretty impressive player, especially in this league."
Since Houston's last league game was against Columbus just two weeks ago at Robertson Stadium, each team is fresh in the other's mind. On that night, both sides battled to a scoreless draw, but Houston knows that the Crew are a different animal on their home turf.
"Defensively I thought we were excellent as we really limited their opportunities," said Dynamo keeper Pat Onstad. "However, they will probably play a different style at home. But we take that confidence knowing that we were able to shut them down."
Columbus enters the match with both Frankie Hejduk and Brian Carroll out due, respectively, to suspension and injury. For Houston, it seems likely that Onstad will play despite suffering from the effects of an abdominal strain, but coach Dominic Kinnear may choose to be cautious after the impressive play of backup keeper Tally Hall in SuperLiga.
"Against Pachuca, he was fantastic and he carried that through to the next two games," Onstad said about Hall. "He's a very good goalkeeper and has a great future ahead of him. I was very impressed watching from the stands as he was in great position and showed some great leadership out there."
More intrigue is at central midfield. While Anthony Obodai was impressive against Puebla defensively and on the ball, his work rate and stamina in the Houston humidity was lacking. Brad Davis continues to look more comfortable on the left, so it seems likely that Houston will continue to match Richard Mulrooney and Lovel Palmer in the middle.
Regardless, getting a result in Columbus, where the Crew are 7-2-0, takes more than just the right personnel decisions. It requires the right mentality.
"Going in there, it's not an easy task," Boswell said. "But if there is a group of guys that can do it, it is this group."

looking for a clean, relatively simple, natural, flowing design that emphasizes the power of nature. Colors should illustrate this feel/intention.
I am creating an online resource to help people be happy, healthy and wealthy. It has become clear to me that the further people move away from natural law the more pain, suffering and illness they will have in their life. Furthermore, society has been lied to and led away from this simple, yet powerful and life-changing truth.
The answer is to identify, acknowledge, understand and obey these natural laws. We do not have a choice about what they are or whether they will affect us. We just get to decide whether we will work with them and benefit or against them and pay. The answer is Innate.
the slogan I have chosen for the site is,
"Align with nature to be happy, healthy and wealthy."
I would like the first letter of each word in the name (TheAnswerIsInnate) be capitalized.
Since this is a website domain I would prefer the words run together as shown above.

I do not want to many colors or too much detail since this will get reproduced on many different products.

Every week, FOOD52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
Today: What butter can do for curd when it comes in at a different cue. Meet your new tart filling, scone spread, and trifle layer -- and the best lemon pudding you'll ever taste.
- KristenWe've already seen lemon do some miraculous things on FOOD52 (Posset. Lazy tarts. Sorbet. Sponge cups.). And we've witnessed the magic of emulsification.
Now we get to talk about them together. With butter. I'm so happy right now.
FOOD52er sarabclever taught me about this delightful substance, a lemon cream that comes from the legendary Tartine Bakery in San Francisco and its namesake cookbook. (Sara went ahead and did this with it too.)Tartine's recipe takes the traditional lemon curd process and reverses it, not only saving time, but also producing something richer, silkier, and just better in the end.
A typical lemon curd starts with lemon juice, egg (yolks or a mix), sugar, and sometimes butter melted together and whisked over a double boiler until it thickens. It's delicious. Lemon meringue pie, pavlova, and trifle have been known to depend on it.
But Elisabeth Prueitt, Tartine Bakery's pastry chef and co-owner, holds off on adding the butter till after the other ingredients have gotten to know one another. And then she adds a lot of it, violently -- a technique inspired by Pierre Hermé. You'll see!
Naturally (this is an iconic pastry book, after all), there are specific temperatures involved, but I've made this with scalawag thermometers that couldn't be trusted, and just went by looks. It's very forgiving.You just do that whisking-over-a-double boiler thing till it gets thick and glassy and leaves a lingering trail behind your whisk (or you can go rogue and cook it over low, direct heat -- just be prepared to strain out any cooked egg bits).
Then you pull it off the heat to cool while you slice your butter into neat tablespoons and pull out your blender.
Here comes the violence: You scrape the curd into the blender and let it rip, dropping in pats of butter one at a time. Each one is greeted with a satisfying -- suck! glurgle! -- as the lemon curd drinks up the butter and slowly swells.
The chunks of chilled butter cool down the mixture and thicken it faster than the traditional all-stovetop method would, while the blades of the blender beat in extra air.
The result is a buoyant, stable buttercream that stays spreadable in the fridge for days. It's smoother and more mellow than curd, which is often so severe in its pucker that you must take measures to lighten it after the fact -- a mousse folded in; a thick, sweet layer of meringue piled on top. You won't need, or want, to do that here.
You will, however, sweep it onto your scones or toast, lard it through the middle of a layer cake, or smooth it into a tart crust. (Please consider garnishing with Tartine's mohawk-esque dollops of cream and flower petals if you do.)
And I will go down fighting if anyone tells me I can't eat this as a pudding.

Reporters Without Borders
24 January 2013
Intelligence service seizes Arab-language daily in latest act of censorship
Reporters Without Borders strongly condemns the seizure of the Arabic-language newspaper Al-Sudani by Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS), the latest act of media censorship in Sudan.
Fourteen thousand copies of the pro-government daily were seized two days ago, without any reason being given. The newspaper, once independent and critical of the government, was bought by a member of the ruling National Congress Party and ever since has reflected the political views of its owner.
"Media censorship remains widespread in Sudan," Reporters Without Borders said. "In 2012, we recorded the seizures of 20-plus newspapers by the intelligence and security services. The latter have stepped up their activities and intensified their onslaught on freedom of information. Pro-government newspapers, which had previously escaped censorship, are now targets too, and forced to exercise self-censorship."
The intelligence and security services offered no explanation for the seizure of Al-Sudani, but political developments appeared to be at the root of their action. Sudan's main opposition parties met in the Ugandan capital Kampala on 5 January to discuss ways of strengthening their common struggle against the Khartoum government.
The government subsequently took action against its opponents, with the intelligence and security services banning the media from reporting anything about the agreement signed at the Kampala meeting.
Sudan is 170th of 179 countries in the 2011-2012 World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders, and sits firmly among the 10 countries that show the least regard for freedom of information.

I purchases these chairs for my restaurant and I just can say good things about them. Great high-quality product, fast shipment and prompt reaction when I had questions. All in all a very good experience.
David Gluth (10/03/2019)
Received this table today. It is gorgeous and very well made. Like a work of art. It was packed incredibly well! Took approximately 4 weeks from the day I ordered it. Fairly easy to assemble as the legs are color coded. Getting a hold of the shipping company to find out delivery day was dicey. It was delivered today with no phone call, no notice. Good thing I was home. I live in a gated community and the driver wouldn't have been allowed in. Other than that, I am so pleased to own this incredible piece of hand made furniture made from reclaimed wood.
gari18 (10/22/2018)
Just opened a new office and Barn XO made the furniture. Quality of furniture was great and service outstanding. Thank you Barn XO!
Payton Cruz (10/03/2019)
Barn xo has met and surpassed my expectations! High quality reclaimed barn wood furniture at a reasonable price. Great customer service! Jerry helped me find what I was looking for and got it to me fast!
Enrique Montero (10/03/2019)
These bar stools were the perfect addition to my new kitchen. I really appreciated Kyle's patience with all of my questions and willingness to accommodate the custom height request. The stools arrived on time and to my exact specifications. They were easy to assemble and look great.
Kristin Baldwin (10/30/2018)
I was very impressed by both the quality of the product and the exceptional customer service here! It was so easy to communicate with the owner and he made sure my custom made table & bench were exactly what I wanted!! It was shipped promptly and was actually super easy to assemble (user-friendly instructions included). Looking to get an entertainment center next!!
Jimena Resendiz (10/03/2019)
Love it! Super fast shipping.
Carly Czupryna (10/09/2018)
Purchased a console table with custom dimensions, this exceeded expectations! We chose a beeswax finish which looks perfect, and the wood was finished nicely. Adjustable ends on our hairpin legs are key for our uneven floorboards. The BarnXO team was so easy to work with, and they knew exactly what we needed.
Melissa W-K (10/09/2018)
Great communication and fast arrival. We ordered clear coat on wooden seat which was a lot lighter than sample pictured. We should have asked for physical sample and ended up sanding/ staining. Regardless very pleased with the purchase. Highly recommend seller.
Bettina Koehler (10/26/2018)
Shipped on time, product delivered as advertised. Can't wait to install these on my table.
Chris Ruckel (10/03/2019)
There are great looking, very sturdy stools. Minor issue...flat, hard seats. Foam pad solved that. The seats and metal frames were shipped from different locations, and the screw holes to join them were slightly off in some places and had to be redrilled. No big deal. Good Buy!

Junior the pit bull puppy managed to wedge his head through the hub of a Dayton style wire wheel straight off a The Game album cover. Poor little pup, but thankfully the solution was an easy one.
The dog's owner brought the conjoined pair to the local fire station, where rescuers were able to grease up the metal with vegetable oil and free the dog.

I often talk of the downfall of society, consumerism, political injustice, McMansions and suburban sprawl. But today I was taking a walk and thinking about things in life and what is really important to me. I was reminded of a saying that a middle school teacher used to preach to us, but I never really hit home till much later
Today is a gift, that's why they call it the present.I then stumbled across this video and really liked the message so enjoy.

Nachos are nice and nutritious when made with sweet potatoes. (NAPS)
(NAPSI)—Healthful and delicious, sweet potatoes aren't just
for the holidays. These versatile vegetables are great in sweet and savory
dishes and should be enjoyed year-round at any time of day.
California sweet potatoes are primarily
grown on small family farms and are prized for their flavor and texture
thanks to the Golden
State's warm, dry
climate and rich, sandy soil. One 4-oz. sweet potato has only 105 calories,
0g fat and no cholesterol, and contains an abundance of healthy properties
such as fiber, protein, calcium, and vitamins A and C.
Here are a few ways to add sweet potatoes to your everyday, all-year enjoyment:
Sweet Potatoes for Breakfast:
• Try using sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes in your go-to
home fry recipe—they make great accompaniment to your favorite
breakfast fare.
• The next time you make a breakfast hash, substitute sweet potatoes
for regular potatoes or use a combo. Don't forget to add some onion and
a sprinkle of cayenne for a little kick.
Sweet Potatoes for Lunch:
• Toss roasted and cooled sweet potatoes with arugula,
white beans and a basic mustard vinaigrette for a nutritious and delicious
protein- and fiber-packed meal.
• For great flavor and texture, add sweet potatoes to any pureed
butternut squash or carrot and ginger soup recipe.
Sweet Potatoes for Dinner:
• Cut sweet potatoes, carrots, turnips and parsnips into equal
sizes, place on a roasting pan or cookie sheet, toss with a generous amount
of olive oil, coarse salt, pepper and a dash of curry powder, and roast in a
350° F oven until done. Serve alongside chicken, pork, lamb, steak or
Sweet Potatoes for Dessert:
• Sweet potatoes and pecans are a match made in heaven-who can
resist a slice of homemade sweet potato pie?
Sweet Potatoes for Snacking:
• Oven-baked sweet potato chips are a delicious and healthy
alternative to regular old potato chips and it's OK if you can't
eat just one.
• And for the ultimate sweet potato snack, try making these
California Sweet Potato Nachos:
California Sweet Potato Nachos
Excellent for backyard barbecues, after-school snacking and watching the
big game, these nachos pack a ton of nutrients, color and flavor into a
finger-lickin' format. Yay
Serves 4 to 6
2 lbs (3 to 4 medium) California sweet
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp coarse salt, or more to taste
¼ tsp pepper
2 c shredded cheddar and pepper
jack cheese
1 c drained black beans
1 ½ c fresh or frozen corn
(thawed if frozen)
1 c guacamole
Scallions, for serving
Cilantro, for serving
Salsa, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Preheat oven to 425° F. Cut
each sweet potato lengthwise into 8 wedges (halve any long wedges crosswise).
On large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment, toss sweet potatoes with
oil, chili powder, salt and pepper. Arrange wedges cut sides down and bake
until browned and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add more salt to taste. Arrange
wedges cut sides up and top with cheese, beans and corn. Return to oven and
bake until the cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with guacamole,
scallions, cilantro, salsa and sour cream and serve.

In an agreement close to completion, "Tonight" host Conan O'Brien would leave NBC and free Jay Leno to reclaim the late-night show he stewarded for 17 years, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
Top NBC Universal executives and representatives for O'Brien on Friday were close to settling details of his departure, said the person, who lacked authority to discuss the issue and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Universal Studios president and COO Ron Meyer was among those involved in the talks, the person said.
The focus has been on how much O'Brien, who has time left on his NBC contract, would be paid for leaving and what limits NBC may put on his future employment at another network.
The deal under discussion would provide for a settlement of more than $30 million and allow him to start a new show as early as this fall, the person said.
O'Brien has two-and-a-half years left on his contract; reports of his annual salary vary widely, from $10 million to $25 million.
NBC didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Friday night.
The progress in negotiations didn't stop O'Brien from once again hammering NBC in his "Tonight" monologue.
"In the press this week, NBC has been calling me every name in the book. In fact, they think I'm such an idiot they now want me to run the network," O'Brien said Friday.
Other late-night hosts, including David Letterman on CBS, have been using their shows to crack jokes about NBC's late-night mess and the players. On Friday, Leno fired back.
"Even Dave Letterman is taking shots at me, which surprised me. Usually he's just taking shots at the interns," Leno said, a reference to the CBS host's admission last year that he had affairs with women who worked on his show.
Letterman and Leno had vied for "Tonight" after longtime host Johnny Carson retired in 1992, and Leno won the hard-fought contest.
O'Brien landed "The Tonight Show" gig after successfully hosting "Late Night," which airs an hour later, since 1993. But after debuting last May, he quickly stumbled in the ratings race against Letterman.
Leno's prime-time weeknight show, which premiered last September, got its cancellation notice Sunday. Leno had reigned as ratings champ as host of "Tonight" but drew disappointing ratings with his experiment in prime time.
As a fix, NBC wanted to put Leno at 11:35 p.m. EST in a half-hour edition and push O'Brien's "Tonight Show" to 12:05 a.m. But O'Brien rejected the idea, saying he hadn't been given the necessary time or support to establish himself as host. Fox executives have expressed their admiration for O'Brien but said they haven't taken steps to create a late-night show for him.

The late-night host could get more than $30M in the settlement

Magnemite (Japanese: コイル Coil) is a dual-type Electric/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation II, it was a pure Electric-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Magneton starting at level 30, which evolves into Magnezone when leveled up in a special magnetic field.

Magnemite is a seemingly robotic Pokémon that has a gray, spherical metal body with blue-and-red tipped horseshoe magnets on each side and a single, large eye. It has three Phillips head screws on its body: two near the bottom of its body and the one on top of its head that looks similar to an antenna. The two bottom screws serve no noticeable purpose, although they may be its feet as the Pokédex identifies a footprint similar to that of the screw's head. Even though Magnemite and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, the anime has shown that it has emotions and a way of reproducing. It has even exhibited the need to eat, although its main form of nutrients is electrical currents. It is commonly found in locations such as power plants or caves with a strong magnetic field. Despite its modern, artificial appearance, Magnemite has been depicted in carvings discovered at the Ruins of Alph and has been present in AZ's retelling of the Kalos war, indicating it has existed for at least 3,000 years.
The magnetic units on Magnemite's body create electromagnetic waves that allow it to defy gravity and can potentially disrupt electrical equipment. Magnemite is not known to be unnecessarily aggressive, but may approach Trainers with little notice. If a wild Magnemite is approached, it may simply flee on rare occasions, as Magnemite does not care for interaction. However, if attacked, it will start retaliation with non-damaging moves. In the care of a Trainer, it can be a devoted fighter. However, it has been demonstrated that it may be deterred unless a strong bond is formed with its Trainer.
Magnemite can be attracted to anything emitting electricity or a magnetic field, including gadgets such as a Pokétch. It has even been shown to be attracted to electric Pokémon producing such fields. With modern electrical lines buried underground, Magnemite attacks on power plants have increased. To prevent power outages, these power plants deliberately send out signals Magnemite cannot stand to ward them off.
In the anime
In the main series
Major appearances
Magnemite debuted in Sparks Fly for Magnemite. Ash and his friends were in Gringey City while the power went out. When they were looking around for the cause of the power outage, a lone Magnemite showed up and was attracted to Ash's Pikachu, who had a cold. When a group of Grimer and its Muk leader were chasing Ash and his friends, a group of Magnemite and Magneton helped fight them off.
Multiple Magnemite appeared in Get Along, Little Pokémon, under the ownership of Ethan. He used them to harness electrical energy from bolts of lightning during thunderstorms, with this energy being given to towns without power. One of the Magnemite, nicknamed Number 6, evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and Pikachu from Team Rocket.
Three Magnemite appeared in The Poké Spokesman, under the ownership of a group of phony Pokémon interpreters. They were convinced by Simon to cease their attacks on a Pokémon Center.
Ten Magnemite appeared in Current Events, where they served as security guards for an electric company's power station. They first attacked Team Rocket, who had sneaked into the power station. Later on, Ash saw the door had been opened by someone, and upon investigation, he was also attacked by the Magnemite.
A Magnemite debuted in Fight for the Light!, under the ownership of Jasmine. It was seen riding on Jasmine's shoulder through the whole episode. Magnemite was later used in her Gym battle with Ash in Nerves of Steelix!; it battled Pikachu, who was able to defeat Magnemite with Quick Attack.
A Magnemite appeared in Watt's with Wattson?, under the ownership of Wattson. Much like Jasmine's Magnemite, this Magnemite battled Pikachu during Ash's Gym battle against Wattson. It was defeated when Pikachu became overpowered. Three wild Magnemite also appeared later on in the episode.

They were mainly used by Zero as a swarm to trap or capture targets. They were also able to contain people and Pokémon by linking together around them, preventing them from moving.

special magnetic field
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Magnemite was originally known as "Coil", from its Japanese name.
- Magnemite, along with its evolved form Magneton, were pure Electric-type Pokémon in Generation I, but became dual-type Electric/Steel in Generation II. This makes them the first Pokémon to ever change typing with the progress of generations.
- Despite most of Magnemite's Pokédex entries saying they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves or even anti-gravity, Magnemite does not have the Ability Levitate, so it is still affected by Ground-type moves. However, starting in Generation IV, Magnemite can learn Magnet Rise, which simulates Levitate for five turns.
- Magnemite and Magneton are two of the few Pokémon that had their cry changed slightly in Generation III. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and newer game system.
- Pokémon Snap is the only form of a Pokémon canon that shows two Magnemite bonding, similar to a Magneton. However, when a picture is taken, they are still called Magnemite.
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team also showed this, but it was stated to be a failed evolution, due to the lack of a third Magnemite.
- In Generation V, Magnemite was the most traded Pokémon on the GTS. This is probably due to what is known as the Magnemite chain/coil: a scheme by which players could increase the number of visitors to their Join Avenue in Black 2 and White 2 by trading Magnemite on the GTS. The scheme originated with Japanese players and became popular worldwide.
- On May 31, 2017, The Pokémon Company posted a Magnemite-themed music video onto their YouTube channel titled Where is Coil? Here is Coil!.
Magnemite seems to be based on a magnet. It may also be based on the objectification of electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental interactions of nature.
Name origin
Magnemite may be a play on magnetite. It may also be a combination of magnet or magnetite and mite, referring to its small size.
Coil is literally coil, perhaps referring to the fact that a coil with electric current generates a magnetic field.

Vaginas should be in bed if they have to be on TV
Vanity Fair released its new cover today: the ladies of television. How happy - and relieved - do you think they are that Sofia Vergara qualifies as a non-white (even though they made her skin colour as close to it as they possible could)? Good job for the acknowledgement that television is indeed more interesting and bold, especially for female roles, than film. But, you know, let's totally undermine that point by making sure the message we receive is that the women, however talented they may be, MUST BE PICTURED IN BED. Or not wearing much clothing.
Oh f-ck off Lainey, why do you have to be such a cranky ass bitch all the time?
Well, when you consider Lee Aronsohn's recent remarks, staying naked and playing under the covers is exactly where women belong. So, you know, we should all just sit in a corner and not speak up. Unless it's to ask for permission to suck a dick.
Aronsohn is the co-creator of Two And A Half Men. If you've been reading my blog long enough, you know how I feel about the quality of that show: it's sh-t which, naturally, is why it consistently ranks among the top rated programs on tv. Also, it's super-sexist which, naturally, is why it consistently ranks among the top rated programs on tv.
Aronsohn was at a conference this weekend and shared his thoughts on female representation on television:
"Enough, ladies. I get it. You have periods," he said.
And while he did acknowledge that the success of Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler has meant that women have a voice to express previously offside women-focused discussion points on television, Aronsohn also feels it's way more than enough now; it's time for the ladies to take a step back:
"But we're approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation."
As for his own show, and why it sucks so much for women, Aronsohn explained:
"Screw it. We're centering the show on two very damaged men. What makes men damaged? Sorry, it's women. I never got my heart broken by a man." (Source)
Yes. Thank you for the reminder. That women should be punished. That that punishment should be a constant. No, really, thank you. And I mean that sincerely.
Otherwise it would have been easy to forget that it's not equal; it's never been equal. Vanity Fair puts women on the cover and we forget that equal isn't happening. Is Lee Aronsohn a pig? Of course. But how easy it is to call him a pig? What's more troubling is that he's a pig who is supported by the network, by producers, by the actors, and by the AUDIENCE. If we get what we deserve, what are we doing to deserve Two And A Half Men?

Meringue-Topped Peach Bread Pudding
My English mother loved to make bread pudding, and when we were living in South Africa many years ago, I found a recipe that added the meringue topping. I adapted the idea and came up with my peach version. Mum declared it better than her original!
Total TimePrep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min.
Makes8 servings
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 cups sliced peeled peaches
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup sugar, divided
- 2 cups milk
- 5 slices French bread (1 inch thick)
- In a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in water until smooth; add peaches. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes longer or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and butter. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Gradually add salt and 1/3 cup sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Stir in milk.
- Dip bread into egg mixture; soak for 1 minute. Place slices into a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Spoon peach mixture evenly over bread layer. Pour remaining egg mixture over peaches. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until center is set.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form. Spread over hot pudding, sealing edges to pan. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until meringue is golden brown. Serve warm.

Bowling Green voters mull fracking-inspired 'bill of rights'
Defiance residents asked to support constitutional rights for humans, not corporations
BOWLING GREEN — Voters across northwest Ohio are being asked to decide a variety of issues that go beyond the usual assortment of school districts seeking approval for tax levies and businesses seeking authorization to sell alcohol on Sundays.
One is a proposed community bill of rights for Bowling Green residents. It is a ballot initiative brought by residents opposed to hydraulic fracturing of shale bedrock, or fracking, a drilling technique used to unleash trapped oil and natural gas reserves.
The proposed community bill of rights does not mention fracking by name, but it asks voters to assert they have certain rights as individuals not explicitly outlined in the U.S. Constitution, such as the right to clean air, land, and water.
The business community doesn't like the proposal because it believes, if passed, it could make it more difficult to build or expand industry.
Supporters say it is necessary to help close potential loopholes of an anti-fracking ordinance Bowling Green city councilmen passed a few weeks ago.
In Defiance, voters also are being asked to decide a citizen-led initiative.
In that one, Defiance would join other cities across America in urging a constitutional amendment that declares only humans, not corporations, are entitled to constitutional rights and that money is not equivalent to speech.
Dolores Whitman, of Defiance County's Washington Township, said the initiative is in response to a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision which overturned some provisions of the federal Campaign Reform Act that was enacted in 2002, giving corporations and labor unions the same rights as individuals to unrestricted spending on political speech.
That, she said, has opened the floodgates for abuses by political action committees and lobbyists.
The Defiance initiative is part of the national Move to Amend campaign and is represented locally by a group that calls itself Occupy Defiance, an outgrowth of the Occupy Wall Street protests of 2011.
Pam Schroeder, Defiance County elections director, said organizers had enough signatures to get their proposal on the 2012 general election ballot but erred by submitting them to the county elections office instead of first getting them certified by Defiance city officials.
They didn't leave enough time to correct the procedural error, so the ballot question was held until the 2013 general election, Ms. Schroeder said.
Greg Coleridge, coordinator of Move to Amend's Ohio network, claimed 500 communities are part of the campaign, many with council resolutions the general populace knows little about. Defiance-area residents went the petition route to force a discussion on the issue, he said.

How To Become an Online Sports Writer
Do you like sports and writing? Why not combine the two and build a satisfying career?
You do not have to be an athlete to work in the sports industry. If you have a writing talent, you can work as a sports journalist. In this way, you will turn your hobby into a high paying job.
By 2017, the average salary for sports journalists is $ 41,698 per year. You can earn more with blogging about sports. Or you can write a book and sell it online.
Most people have a favorite sport. Depending on your audience, you can write about football, rugby, or baseball. Getting started is the hardest part.
Here are some tips on how to become a sports writer and make a name for yourself:
Find your Niche
The first step is to decide what you want to write. Are you passionate about fitness and bodybuilding? Or maybe you know everything about soccer?
Find your niche and hone your skills in that field. Read the latest news and educate yourself. Watch live competition and record it.
If you want to be successful, "knowing about sports" is not enough. You have to keep learning and stay up-to-date with the trends.
Most of the writers who work in this industry do it because they love sports. Money comes second.
For inspiration, check out popular sports blogs and sites. Try to determine what they have together. This should give you a good idea of how to start.
Getting educated
One of the best things about working as a sports writer is you can start anytime. No need to have a degree in sports or journalism. However, you must have a clear understanding of the jargon.
Each sport has its own language.
For example, bets involve terms such as hot sports games die and sports. If you write about football, you need to know what his free kick is.
Make sure you master grammatical rules. Read sports articles and follow the best authors in the industry.
If you have a flexible schedule, ask a sports journalism intern. This will give you the opportunity to work side by side with a skilled reporter. It's also a great way to build connections and gain sports knowledge.
Start a blog
After choosing a niche, start your own blog. Share insights about your favorite sports, post news, and post an interview.
Focus on building your audience. Connect with readers on social networks and let them know about your blog. Reply comments on Quora and Reddit.
Post content at least three times a week, and share it online. This will increase your popularity and reputation.
Your blog serves as your portfolio. It displays your work and skills. At the same time, it allows you to practice and get better at writing.
Still Want to Know How to Become a Sports Writer?
Once your blog is up and running, you can finally work as a sports writer.
Searching for writing shows on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and ProBlogger. Apply with your resume and portfolio.
Many companies pay sports authors to create content for ads, books, or movie scripts. Contact them and link to your best blog post. Show your employer what you are capable of.
Check online versions of local magazines and newspapers. Pitch journalists and build affiliates. The more time you enter, the higher your chances of success.
Stop asking yourself how to become a sports writer. Take the plunge and hit Publish! Remember that everyone starts somewhere.
It's never too late to follow your dream. Try! You will never know where it is going.
