Here Be Dragons
Well, a dragon, anyway.
I really, really, really wanted to go to Tat Days this year. My parents live in Atlanta, so it would have been extremely convenient for me to get to Toccoa, and I so want to meet all of my online friends. However, it is not to be; my sister has this little graduation thingy that weekend, so I'll be in LA instead. She's going to be a CRNA-- Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I think most people have some idea of how hard it is to become a nurse at all, so you can imagine how grueling it is to achieve an advance practice nursing degree. Her graduation card will therefore feature this triumphantly soaring dragon.
The pattern is by Anne Bruvold. I used Jane's Hand Wound Thread technique to achieve a very subtle shading. The threads are DMC size 80 color 701 (Christmas Green) and Sulky Blendables color 4021 (True Teal). I also added a few beads to the pattern. The seed beads are size 11 Delica in silver gray. I'm not sure if the eye beads have a specific name; they're just a good quality round glass bead that I got from a local bead shop, and they make great eyes for all sorts of critters.
I still need to figure out what else to put on the card; I can't have the poor dragon soaring through empty space! I'm pretty sure there are going to be mountains against the horizon, which I will make with colored papers. But there's got to be some other scenery as well, and it would be nice if some of it could be tatted. I'd love to do scene with a dragon and a lake and some trees, but that won't fit on a card; it will have to wait until I have a larger canvas to work with. Meanwhile, I'm open to suggestions. I'm also undecided as to whether or not the dragon should be breathing fire.
Finally, I need to thank everyone who has offered me sympathy for the loss of my beloved cat, and to apologize to everyone who has tried to communicate with me and not gotten an answer. Life is slowly returning to normal, and I'm trying to get caught up with everything, including The Thread Exchange and my blog reading.

All this talk about Tat Days with Palmetto Tatters makes me regret that I have to work that weekend! But there is always hope for next year and I can hardly wait!
What a Dragon! Is that the Norwegian Dragon Pattern from Anne Bruvold? I have tatted one of those for a friend whose Totem animal is the dragon. It's a great piece for split rings and complex patterns.
Tat On!
SallyHi, Fox. The HWT/ shading is simple in theory. You just wind two threads on the same shuttle; one solid thread and one variegated, and usually one larger than the other. The tricky part is getting the two threads to cooperate with each other....
Sally, yes it is Anne Bruvold's Norwegian Dragon.

My Generous Supporters!
My name is Maria Parker and I am an ultra-distance cyclist who holds the world record for most miles cycled by a woman in 24 hours. I am now planning on doing Race Across America (RAAM), the world's toughest sporting event, according to Outside Magazine.
As tough as RAAM is, racing 3000 miles on a bicycle in 10 days is nothing compared to fighting brain cancer. Inspired by my sister Jenny, who is currently fighting brain cancer and the hundreds of thousands of sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends who are fighting and have fought brain cancer, we hope to raise a million dollars for Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure.
Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure has an athlete's attitude aimed at curing brain cancer. They are aggressively seeking out the best, most novel, and most promising research on brain cancer and funding it. Every dollar you donate goes to fund research.
Please donate as little or as much as you are able so that brain cancer can be eradicated.
If 200,000 people give only $5 each, we will have reached our goal!

When I play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 (COD MW3) on my PlayStation 3 (PS3) my friends cannot join my game as in game it says my NAT type is 'STRICT'. Apparently there are 3 names - Strict / Moderate / Open (Strict & Moderate are basically the same thing!) My internet service provider (ISP) is O2 and I use the O2 Wireless Box III (It says Wireless Box II on my router but O2 customer service assure me I have the 3rd one!?). Friends using TalkTalk and Orange broadband always have 'Open' NAT type and so I can join their games but they cannot join mine. (I can't host a game?) In the game it suggests that I enable my uPnP in my router settings (via typing 192.168.1.254 in my browser's address bar, which I have done), but whether this is enabled or disabled it doesn't seem to make a difference... I have read that the best way to ensure your NAT type is always open is to follow a lengthy procedure of creating a 'Static IP Address' for my PS3 and then 'forwarding ports'. I have phoned O2 customer services and they can't advise anything! What shall I do? Please help - I just want to be able to play with my friends when I want to!
Give your PS3 a static IP and then go to your router settings and try to find the DMZ section, if it has one. Input your PS3 IP address and you should be okay after that.
How would you suggest to give my PS3 a static IP address though!? This is what I don't know how to do. Everyone seems to say something different! I don't know if my router has a DMZ setting - haven't seen one! Input my PS3 address how/where? I understand finding my IP address range and then picking a higher number in the range to use...
It's pretty easy, before you change anything make a note or take a picture of your network settings on the PS3, it will list your current IP address, DNS etc. Then set up your PS3 network settings manually and copy the details in as before but pick a different IP address higher up the range. I use 192.168.1.33 but it doesn't really matter what you pick just something that you can remember. Most modern routers have an option to put a specific IP into a DMZ (in my case I have 192.168.1.33 in a DMZ) , this basically instructs the router to let ALL incoming and outgoing traffic to that specific IP travel unhindered. You'll need to log into your router and find the DMZ section and enter whatever IP that you have chosen for your PS3. Hope that helps.
Ok i will have a look for my router dmz settings tonight! I understand I have to do the router stuff before changing the ps3 settings? If it is that easy I'll be amazed by your wisdom!
Shouldn't matter what order you do it the outcome will be the same....hopefully! Do you know the model number of your router?
Sorry I read your original post again and see that you have an o2 router. Not hopefull that it has a DMZ setting!!!
I've always used this guide to put my PS3 into DMZ mode - GUIDE: PUT YOUR PS3 IN A DMZ - AfterDawn: Forums Also check out Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model - PortForward.com find your router in the list it'll then give you the ports to open up PSN, MW3 etc....
Not really MW3 related, but when I put my Linksys router into DMZ, it actually turns off NAT, which caused problems playing GT5 online as it requires NAT to be enabled. I ended up having to do the static IP, & port forwarding thing. Just something to consider.
Sometimes DMZ, port forwarding etc just won't work - next step is to try a decent router. Sometimes the difference another router can make (inc DL & UL speed and reduced errors) from the routers the ISP's provide as crazy - but then other times its no different. Either way - good luck sorting it out.
I'm thinking of buying a new router as the first step as I have read so many diff ways to create a static ISP and forward ports. My friend has actually bought 8 static IP addresses but I don't really understand it. Plus I dont want to mess up my internet settings on my router for other things like other PCs in the house to start having problems because of what i have done... I heard if you create a static IP with your router it could make only your Ps3 able to connect to the internet...!?!?
Nah, any half decent linksys, for example will be able to deal with multlple connections. For example, you could static the pc, ps3, laptop, 3ds, psp, ps3, Xperia Play, X10mini pro, ZTE Blade phones(That's a rough idea of all I have on my router)...something like 192.168.1.2, all the way up to 192.168.1.10, would allow all of them to connect with no problems, with no conflicts. You need to have a static ip, open/forward the ports for PS3(here!), then go to portforward, pick your router, pick the game, in this case Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and follow the easy instructions, or get someone who knows their way around a router. Is your wireless box the model TG585n, by any chance, cause if it is , it's a Thomson TG585n. This is what you have to do, for the 02 version..there are a couple of others, just look for the Thomson, and the TG585n, version7 or 8 links on the portforward router list page, if it's different from yours (That is, if your's is that router., which is a 3, but says 2 on it) http://portforward.com/english/rout...G585v7-O2/Call_of_Duty_-_Modern_Warfare_3.htm
Not to put a downer on all of this good info as it may well work for him but I'm having the same issues. I'm with Karoo and have the Thomson wireless TG585 v7 router. PSN Nat type 2, UPNP available, PS3 in a DMZ, ports fowarded for MW3 as per Port Forward and I still get a Strict NAT type. The only bonus is that I can still play games and host them and people can connect. Strange.
So what you're saying is you've done the whole procedure and even though it still says strict it works! Thats good enough!!!
Does for me atm but not had chance to test it greatly. Last night a friend connected to me for Spec Ops that I was hosting no probs and I had 3 rounds of Team Deathmatch without any probs.
Nat type 2, or strict..which is it? If you are wireless, then type 2 is normal.. You could always try a static ip outwith the DHCP range of your router, as well. As to DMZ and UPnP at the same time, either one or the other, as both together can cause conflicts.
Sorry Nat type 2 on PSN yet whilst in MW3 it shows as Strict. I've turned off UPNP on the router and still get Strict in MW3. UPNP still shows as available on PS3 when in a DMZ as that's how mine is setup.
Guys a while back when Black ops came out I too had the strict NAT problem, until, after many hours of messing with my router settings I came across a post explaining how if you put MW2 into your PS3, load it up and enter into the multiplayer section (the part before entering a lobby) you should see that your NAT type is open, quit the game and eject the disc, now insert black ops and when you go to the multiplayer part you should see your NAT type as open! I became a very happy man.....until... After eagerly awaiting MW3 the same NAT problem returned..... ...HOWEVER, good news the same method as detailed above will work in exactly the same way for the new game!! (many smiley faces) and so my friends you can once again play with all your friends I hope this have been of some help to you and apologise if this has already been recommended in earlier posts but I couldnt be bothered to sift through them to see If this has helped please add me online, my username is mrcrm84 Good Luck and happy shooting
Success! Finally got an Open NAT status. For myself with a Thomson TG585 v7 wireless modem I changed my PS3 from having a static IP to automatic selection and disable UPNP. Went onto my router and disabled UPNP, opened the ports for MW3 as per Port Forward website, made sure I had the correct ports open for PSN and ensured my PS3 was in a DMZ. Tested PSN and it came back with no UPNP available and a NAT type 1. Went onto MW3 and hey presto I have an open Nat. Whether or not this will work for everyone else is a different matter but it solved my problem.
i just got a new BT Home hub 3 today and my NAT type is open on the Home hub 1 it was always strict even when i changed the settings Happy it works now

The bustle of the newsroom is a mere backdrop for self-involved characters to give talky speeches and taunt each other.
There is much purposeful hustle and bustle but tasks go uncompleted; confusion reigns.
Here in the former home of the Maharaja one finds an opulent oasis from the bustle of the city.
Several other addicts out here concur: The reason for all the bustle is that Kensington Avenue has become a drug-bust-free zone.
I miss the hustle and bustle of New York when I fly in to speak or for meetings.
The vessel was in a state of bustle, and what to the travellers seemed confusion.
They soon landed; and the whole party, over fifty in number, presented to the eye a new scene of bustle and activity.
At the bustle I made the girl turned her eyes slowly in my direction, and even the old woman was checked in her knitting.
From Monday morning till Sunday night the bustle goes on continually.
It was a pleasant enough little abode on the outside at any rate, sheltered from the noise and bustle of the great city.
"be active," 1570s (bustling "noisy or excited activity" is from early 15c.), frequentative of Middle English bresten "to rush, break," from Old English bersten (see burst (v.)), influenced by Old Norse buask "to make oneself ready" (see busk (v.)), or from busk (v.) via a frequentative form buskle. Related: Bustled; bustling; bustler.
"activity, stir, fuss, commotion," 1630s, from bustle (v.).
"padding in a skirt," 1788, of uncertain origin, perhaps from German Buschel "bunch, pad," or it might be a special use of bustle (n.1) with reference to "rustling motion."
BUSTLE. A pad stuffed with cotton, feathers, bran, &c., worn by ladies for the double purpose of giving a greater rotundity or prominence to the hips, and setting off the smallness of the waist. [Bartlett, "Dictionary of Americanisms," 1848]

BJCM Gt, versa or versa gt!
(10 Posts)Thanks for the info GoombayDanceBand, think it's just the harder wheels versus gt wheels and all round suspension versus only front suspension. At this rate I'll never make a decision.
also the GT will pull down on a camber. Not sure if the versa does this - weight difference is minimal though I think. That's the only time you need both hands for it but with a toddler/larger child you might need two hands to get up kerbs.
btw to answer the q about the wheels, we don't get anything stuck in the GT wheels - they feel and look rubbery, with the little spikes you get on new tyres. I think they may also make the whole thing very slightly narrower? Not sure on that.
I have the BJCM, it's lovely and very very long in the seat so my 4mo can stretch out in it, with room to spare - but in an older child yes you would have less leg support.
Also I don't like not being able to look at him, so we use it as an in-car buggy and take it out to go round shops etc.
Also have the versa GT and I find the wheels/tyres superb - much more intuitive than the hard wheels, though on the mini I don't mind them as it's only really used in shops and so on.
It is heavy - to carry and to push - but you can fold and lift it one handed, with a baby in the other arm, if necessary.
They are very different types of pushchair. The versa is HUGE and the mini is lower and light.
I love to use both but could not choose between them as neither would be suitable for everything we do. Be aware that the fabrics on the versa are very different if you liked the shiny ones on the BJCM - they are chunkier and not so smooth. I also don't like the hood on the versa, it isn't positive enough when it sits in place, I like something that clicks iykwim.
And it's far smaller than the one on the BJCM.
I think Kooltrade need to get more versas out to the provinces, so people can try them out. This is a huge issue afaic.
The twins have calf support (we improvised with back supports sewn into footmuffs lol) they work a treat They're also small for their age so blankets help too.
We didn't want to sell buggy so we improvised lol.
Thanks for the replies.
Tiggywunkle, what are the tyres like on the normal versa as I read one review saying they dented quickly after first use. This is exactly what has happened with the oyster. Does it affect the pushchairs performance? And how bouncy is the suspension, is it easy to get up kerbs and how does it handle on rougher ground?
Sorry for all the questions but there isn't a shop near me that sells the versa so can't have a look myself.
Thanks again
Its not that the Versa GT isnt as good as the Versa - more that the Versa is excellent and the GT version gives you an additional choice. Yes there is no rear suspension on the Versa GT, but I dont think it needs it either. The Versa GT is heavier than the Versa to push but, if you prefer the Versa GT you wont care less! Both are fab pushchairs.
I have to say, for a 7 month old, I would definitely want leg support. I like my BJCMGT for ease of use, but for a younger child, leg support when sleeping really is important to me. I also like parent facing although I dont see it as essential. But with such a small baby, if both pushchairs are an option, then I would absolutely go for the Versa / Versa GT.
Oh the seats are bigger than the mini, twins have space and fall asleep easily in full recline. I love mine and it's used everyday. However I am biased.
My 7mo twins face forward in the BJCM GT double. A first they were a little fussy but suddenly found their surroundings more interesting.
Hey all,
I seriously need help deciding on a new pushchair. And I think I have whittled it down to those 3 but can't decide on one. I have only seen the bjcm GT in person, but have been reading about the others. So thought this would be the place to ask for opinions.
I already have an oyster which I hate. My little girl is 7 months and we cant use the pram bit as she is so uncomfortable, the suspension is rubbish and I can't get it up and down kerbs.
My husband like the bjcm GT but I'm worried about her facing forwards for the first time (maybe that's just a selfish issue on my part) but I like seeing her and also concerned about the drop part for her legs. In the versa you can raise this part for support. But I have been reading about the suspension and weight on the versa GT isn't as good as the original versa. Any thoughts? Also the wheels on the versa are hard like my oyster and have so many stones stuck in them, has this been an issue for you?
So the questions are, should I be worried about facing forwards? Which is the best for comfort, ease of use etc? I would like this to last a while too, so really need to make right choice. Just want to know which is best as I'm driving myself insane lol.
Or is there another buggy you would recommend?
Thanks for any help :-)

He wants to be a jesuit priest. I told him I was an atheist, and he was a little surprised, but he thought it was interesting, and I thought that everything was ok and he was alright with it.
I think I was wrong.
He keeps telling me I'm not an atheist. I've tried explaining the difference between agnostic and atheist, and how I'm in fact an agnostic atheist, but he insists I'm simply an agonostic.
The other night he told me that if we ever had a falling out, it would be because of this. He said he's been doing research on it, and I don't know what to do when he gives it to me. I'll probably be able to refute it.
I don't want to lose him as my friend, but I'm worried he'll get so caught up in my disbelief that he won't be able to see past it. My current thought is to just say I won't discuss it with him, but I feel like that'll make the problem worse later on...

Got hit with no license . I don't know what to do please help
Ok ... My name is mike I'm 20 years old with no license and I got into a car accident while running errands for my grandmother this morning. I did not hit anybody I was hit. I stopped at a stop sign that I came to, looked both ways then proceeded to cross. Then I see a car coming at least 35 mph in a 25 zone. He hits me in the drivers side, airbags deploy, I spin around. Then I get out of the car get his information. He has no insurance .. What should I do.. I don't want to go to jail .

It is highly unlikely you will go to jail unless you are on strict probation/parole that prevents you from driving and even then who knows.
The other driver does not have insurance, which is also illegal. You could report it to the Police, try to work out a deal with the other driver, or not bring the incident up. The most practical solution would be contacting a lawyer in your area that knows the specific jurisdiction your in. You can use your local County Bar Association or use this site. Here is an article explaining how a few states handle the situation. http://www.legalmatch.com/law-librar...a-license.html |

Sorry for the extremely delayed response. As others have said, I doubt you'll go to jail --- but your circumstances might raise a few eyesbrows...but it looks like you should be OK.
I am curious to know how your case ended up. IF you can reply that would be fantastic! |

Hi, after reading your message, I came to a conclusion that you didn't hit anyone, but you were hit. You stopped at lights, and was making a move and a speedy car hit you. Well! In that case you immediately need to contact your lawyer, and tell about the incident. So that, you get justice in a right way.

Recently a new Linux distribution was born, called Lin-X. Based off Ubuntu 8.10, and designed to look like Mac OS X, it grabbed my attention. As soon as the download went live, I downloaded the 900+MB DVD image and burned a disk. Placing the disk in my drive, I booted up my PC into the live system. I was greeted by a Mac-like startup screen, with a circle of outward pointing lines lighting up in a circle. The Apple logo was there, just a little edited. Inside the Apple logo (really, the Lin-X logo) there is the famous pirate flag emblem of skull and crossbones. The desktop itself looks nice, and acts almost like Apple's Mac OS X. AWN is used at the bottom of the screen for the dock, and the global menu applet is used at the top of the screen which emulates the Mac's menu system. Only a few applications (KDE apps, Mozilla apps, and OpenOffice) do not have support for the global menu. Two themes are provided – the aqua and the graphite versions, and two backgrounds are also provided, the space background and a grassy-field one. The one problem I have with the theme is that when a selected item in the menu is highlighted that has a sub-menu (most apparent in the main application menu), the normal arrow appears fuzzed around the edges, and slightly distorted. The Firefox theme, Nautilus, and Rhythmbox all look really awesome though. There are several applications preinstalled that add to the common stock of applications. For one, the MPlayer movie player has been added by default. I had some issues with it however, I kept getting multiple errors when starting it — not exactly a big deal since the default movie player is installed. I was also surprised to see VirtualBox installed by default, version 2.1.4. Of course, no review is complete without a screenshot!
All posts for the month April, 2009
I just want to say a big thanks to all the folks who have supported the Ubuntu Developer Network idea over on the Ubuntu Brainstorm site. Over 400 people have voted in favor of the idea, with a good number of comments as well!
For those who may be unfamiliar with this effort, the Ubuntu Developer Network is an idea to create a central resource for developers using Ubuntu. This goes beyond MOTU and packaging to developing applications on Ubuntu. Think of MSDN, or perhaps the Sun Developer Network. When I went to Microsoft's Developer Network to do a little research for the idea of an Ubuntu Developer Network, I was surprised how easy it was to get started with developing an application. Within 5 minutes of installing the right software, I had already built a simple web browser. Given, that's with Visual Basic, but just the fact that I learned how to use the software that fast was impressive. That got me thinking, when I tried just packaging an application for Ubuntu, I was lead through countless wiki pages in continuous, confusing loops. Part of the problem is that the wiki pages were designed for experienced developers, and the other part is that they are just not organized well. The Ubuntu Developer Network idea is designed to fix all that.
News, videos, how-tos, and different software tracks are all part of the plan. If you have never looked at it before and like the idea, vote for it! All you have to do is register at the Brainstorm site. This idea hasn't been picked up by anyone higher up in the Ubuntu community or Canonical — yet, but I hope that it is something I will be able to work on in the future.
As I was watching the whole Microsoft vs Apple thing go down over the past couple of days, I could not help but to notice something wrong with both sides. Here we have Microsoft claiming Apple has an Apple Tax. Fair enough, I agree they overprice just about everything (with the sole exception being the iPods and iPod Touch). Apple then makes a counter-claim that while Microsoft PCs are cheaper, the costs of the extra software (although with a free alternative, the costs are lower), the support, and new hardware all adds up to mean more cost and hassle than owning a Mac.
That's where I begin to see the problem. Both companies are right, in a sense. Microsoft prices their software really, really high. Apple's computers are priced really, really high. Microsoft wants to protect their budget, and Apple is too pompous to admit their computers are overpriced. Imagine the user bases that could be tapped if only software prices were lowered, and Apple lowered the cost of their PCs!
That will not happen of course. Both companies are interested in sqeezing out as much cash as possible from customers. They create lock-in schemes, proprietary codecs, and other detrimental moves that end up hurting consumers. They quickly forget the fact that we are in tough economic times. They forget the unemployment rate is at its highest points in years. With both companies' heads in the clouds, what option could be more in touch with customers? Which one could actually help consumers and not lock them into pricey hardware or software?
Honestly, there's not much more that needs to be said. To be more general, certain distributions of Linux and open source software could end these silly games played by Microsoft and Apple — but what would that take?
That will be the subject of Part II to this post.
Twitter seems to be getting more popular every day. The number of people in my "following" list seems to be growing also. Using Twitter had me thinking, how can Twitter be improved?
One of the things I noticed is that when using Twitter, updates are constantly moved down the page. If you happen to follow a multitude of people, you end up with tons of updates running down the page. If you reply to someone, they often times won't get it, and if they send a reply, there's a chance you might not get the message. Of course you can private message someone, but then it kind of kills the purpose; you can just email the person instead.
Twitter must be kept simple, so how can you see your friends' comments on twitter, and not just the multitude of companies and individuals you don't know as well? You can visit each person's profile, but that just adds more complexity and time wasted. Why not have a side bar, where you can add preferred friends, and see just their updates, next to the list of all the updates you see? It may make it easier to stay in touch with friends. Of course, I don't think Twitter would follow this plan, I'm just a humble blogger. Of course, it would give them one up on facebook, who seems to try to imitate Twitter at times. 🙂
AppleInsider has recently been spewing some interesting material on their web site… you might call it damage control after Microsoft's recent ad. You might say that I am pleasantly entertained by it all. I will say that I am rooting for Microsoft in this case, but I am certainly no fan of Windows. I volunteer my time for a competitor, if that makes that statement any more clear. Really, I haven't liked Apple much after their "Mac vs PC" ads. It all seemed a little too stuck up for my taste.
Now with Microsoft's ads, even the "respectable" sites have switched to an attack mode. Now, the article I have linked to above is proclaiming bloggers found the ads to be faked (scripted would have been a more professional term to use). That honestly would not surprise me, but hey, the ads have a point: Macs are more expensive. The article goes on to say no PC maker offers the same level screen quality. Honestly, if you're a person who doesn't have a ton of money to blow, you probably don't care about the screen resolution, especially if it is not that bad.
The final point in the article is what really caught my attention:
If the company isn't careful, it will find itself stuck in price comparisons with Apple that only highlight how much cheaper Linux PCs can be without Windows, and usability comparisons with Linux that highlight how much more attractive Macs are to buyers who don't want to deal with complication.
I'll let you decide on that one. Anyways, I find it absolutely entertaining when people dish out a ton of junk about one system and then can't take the criticism. Welcome to reality and the free market! 🙂

Finding an avenue to get auggiedog into the Wounded Warrior World
Mon, 2015-02-02 15:22auggiedog,
Maybe a little long, but there is a point at the end.
I was raised God, Country, Family and that is still my way today, and always will be till the day I check out..
There's only one thing I love more than Pugs, and that's my wife and Soldiers! While serving almost my whole entire adult life in the US Army, the Soldiers under my responsibility, those to my left and right, and especially those in the fox-holes next to me became my lifelong best brothers and sisters.
auggiedog's "Come on and Rescue me" Campaign is underway
Mon, 2015-01-26 15:51auggiedog is pleased to announce our rescue fund raising program! By working together let's ensure all dogs have the chance to find their forever home!

How to get that Perfect Lawn after "POOPAGEDDON" a few words from Dave McGee Inventor of auggiedog THE POWER STOOL TOOL
Mon, 2014-03-24 15:58We have all endured a horrific and mind numbing hibernation this winter. Now we face the consequences from all those days of letting our Pooches out the back door to do their business. I'm sure our best friends have created a scene from some "Sci-Fi" movie that could easily be called "LAND MINDS FROM HELL" or "POOPAGEDDON".
Now that the SNOW is MELTING DOG POOP ARMAGEDDON
Mon, 2014-03-24 12:03To all our Friends,
It's that time of year again - when the snow melts and "Fido's" presents start to reappear in the yard - how can there really be that many????? I didn't think it would be that bad????
With the worst winter in decades comes the worst spring cleanup of our yards - especially, if your beloved pal has been leaving presents.
Great time to get the auggiedog, use the auggiedog and make the backyard clean-up a breeze! No bending, no stooping, no touching - just pull the trigger.
Send us your "worst yard ever" photo's and we'll share on our Facebook page.
Will we ever stop using plastic bags?
Tue, 2014-01-21 16:57Over the years we've all depended on plastic bags for everything. From bringing home our groceries; to carrying our wet towels; and even picking up the mess our family pet leaves behind.
Plastic bags have become an integral part of our lives and moving away from them is a challenge. We are starting to see alternatives - bio bags, cloth bags and upcharges but we still love the convenience of having one in our pocket.
We are moving in the right direction and we will get there by changing one habit at a time.........

In the rat race for higher qualification and the best job offers in the employment market, it is imperative to equip yourself with higher education. The key to impress your future employers or the present one for a step higher in the corporate ladder is to obtain a PhD in Juris Doctorate. This is one of the general doctors of philosophy categories which one may have and this title heavily focuses on law.
A PhD in Juris Doctorate can be attained after the pertinent Master's Degree in the same field, preferably with a strong dissertation and coursework average grade. There are several world-class universities which offer the program; however, if cost of the course is a major hindrance between you and your academic dreams, then you should be able to commit to an online course.
Simply search online for the necessary requirements into fitting the criteria to the program enrollment. Keep in mind that it is always safe to look for an online doctor of philosophy course which specializes in law and it must certified by the government.
If you are unable to pay the entire fee amount at one go, it is possible to make payments every three to six months for the program. The schedule of the coursework is usually given out at the registration web page but you cannot seem to entrust your valuable time to the slotted programs then you should make arrangements to meet a consultant.
There are consultants and academic advisors who are able to guide you throughout the registration and enrollment procedure. It is important to get as much information as you can about the fees, course outline and expertise.

Audio Mixer: Paul Northfield.
Recording information: Interscope Studios; St Studio.
Photographers: Marcin Pawlowski; Krousky Peutebatre.
One of the first bands to blur the lines between punk and heavy metal (and later adding muscular funk accents to their sound), Suicidal Tendencies were a groundbreaking American band in the '80s and '90s. With 2016's World Gone Mad, Suicidal Tendencies' 12th studio album, the bandmembers demonstrate they're still writing and performing at full strength, unleashing a riot of tough, unrelenting tunes powered by furious drumming, roaring rhythm guitars, and acrobatic lead playing. World Gone Mad also introduces a new Suicidal lineup, with former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo taking over behind the kit. Rhythm guitarist Jeff Pogan and bassist Ra Diaz also join founder, frontman, and lead singer Mike Muir and longtime lead guitarist Dean Pleasants for these sessions. ~ Mark Deming

How do they cope without Facebook and YouTube? Advertisement In Romania, 54 per cent of the population have never used the Internet, whether via home access, at an internet cafe or over a smart phone, reports Reuters. In Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Portugal, only half of homes have an internet connection. Across the entire EU, 24 per cent of 16-74 year olds across 27 countries — a population of 500 million people — have never accessed the Internet.That is a pretty bleak situation in connectivity terms. Advertisement It's not all bad news, though. In the Netherlands — Europe's most connected country — 94 per cent of people have Internet access, and Luxembourg, Sweden and Denmark all have access rates of 90 per cent or above.Because of the poor access to the internet in some copuntries, online retail has been slow to take off too. In Romania and Bulgaria, for instance, just 13 per cent of people have purchased items over the Internet. Compare that to 80 per cent in the UK, which has Europe's most advanced online economy, and things look sad for those in Eastern Europe.While the figures make for a good headline, what's really worrying here is the disparity. By and large, its the poorest countries in the EU that come bottom in terms of connectivity — and there doesn't seem to be much sign of the gulf narrowing.

Deer Eats Bird, While Feathered Family Watches [VIDEO]
A video from 2010 is making its rounds again on the Internet. I don't recall watching it, but I have problems remembering yesterday, let alone 2 years ago! This particular video stars a deer and a bird. Spoiler alert – only one survives!
If watching this bird murder is too much for you, click here to watch a heartwarming video of a family saving a deer that was caught in their fence. I wonder if this is the same deer? If so could the family be charged with 'accessory to fowl play'?

Brace yourself for a hard-hitting video that pulls no punches about the current state of cancer research and the cancer industry. This is some great information that all cancer patients should be aware of, especially if you are considering utilizing conventional cancer treatments. The cancer industry is huge, and generates in excess of approximately $200 billion per year worldwide.
In summary, the War on Cancer which was started by Nixon in 1972, is an utter failure. We are constantly fed spin about how a cure for cancer is 'just around the corner'. This has been the war cry of the cancer establishment and the Medical Establishment for the last 50-100 years! But not only is there no cure, but the expenses for cancer treatment have skyrocketed. In fact, more people are dying of cancer, and people are getting cancer at increasingly younger ages.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) claims that their mission statement is to eradicate cancer. But according to their expenditures, they are more interested in corporate profits and wealth-building than they are in curing cancer. In fact, if they cure cancer, they basically put themselves on the unemployment line. They also have strong financial ties to various sectors of industry. They are also known for having long-standing conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical companies and chemical corporations. They accept huge donations and contributions from these corporate interests. They support the very companies that pollute the planet and the people on it. It is something of a symbiotic relationship. The chemical corporations produce carcinogenic chemicals that cause cancer (while making huge profits), and when they cause the cancer in people, the Medical Establishment and the pharmaceutical companies make huge profits treating (but not curing) the resulting cancers. It is a very sordid state of affairs. Some of the companies that are a part of this corporate 'back scratching' are: Bristol-Myers, Squibb, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Amgen, Genetech, Johnson & Johnson, British Petroleum (BP), DuPont, AkzoNobel, Penzoil, Concho Oil, Elizabeth Arden, Revlon, Christian Dior, Givaudan.
There are over 300 other industries & corporations that make huge contributions and donations to the American Cancer Society! It is also reported that ACS supports many of these industries in their unethical activities. ACS supports the auto industry by refusing to support the Clean Air Act. They joined the Chlorine Institute in defending the manufacture of carcinogenic chlorinated pesticides. They also support the cosmetic industry when they fail to warn women about the dangers of how hair dyes and talc powder cause cancer.
ACS's annual budget is approximately $800 million, and they spend less than 1% of that budget on researching the prevention of cancer or the carcinogenic effects of environmental toxins that are released into the biosphere by the above corporations that give ACS money. The Chronicle of Philanthropy, a corporate watchdog organization, after an analysis of the ACS budget concluded that ACS is more concerned with accumulating wealth than they are in saving lives. They also warned of the transfer of wealth from the public to private interests. Some of the credible scientists who share these views are Linus Pauling, Ph.D (two-time Nobel laureate) and James Watson, Nobel Prize winner and co-discoverer of the helical structure of DNA.
As incredible as the above facts seem, they are the truth that honest researchers and thinking people have found when they analyze and study the current structure of the cancer industry and cancer research. The truth can not be hidden forever!

@article {6382, title = {New Method and Reporting of Uncertainty in LBNL National Energy Modeling System Runs}, year = {2002}, month = {10/2002}, pages = {29}, institution = {LBNL}, address = {Berkeley}, abstract = {
This report describes LBNL{\textquoteright}s approach for assessing uncertainty in any National Energy Modeling System (NEMS)-related analysis. Based on years of experience using LBNL-NEMS for various analyses, LBNL developed an alternative approach that aims to provide a simple yet comprehensive perspective of how the results behave under a given set of what we believe to be some of the issues important to large-scale energy modeling. This project has established a standard set of eight sensitivity cases that can be run overnight and are highly likely to produce stable and interesting results. The goal was to establish a limited number of interesting sensitivity cases that would routinely produce adjunct results to LBNL-NEMS reporting that will be of value to our readers. These cases will be routinely reported together with future LBNLNEMS results in the form of a standard output table. As an example, this work uses a Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) analysis run as the baseline, but the goal is to establish a standardized set of cases that would change little over time and be applicable to other analyses in addition to GPRA. The approach developed here cannot serve as a substitute for a sensitivity analysis tailored to the question at hand, but it can provide a fast review of some areas that have proven to be of interest in the past.

Friday, April 8, 2011
The night sky in Odell lit up in a ferocious blaze of light on April 4 when an empty, long-abandoned house at the corner of Lingren and Ehrck Hill roads went up in flames.
According to Odell Fire Chief Greg Borton, the first alarm house fire, reported by a neighbor's phone call, was fully involved by the time fire crews arrived at 11:28 p.m.
"The cause of the fire is under investigation," said Borton, "and will continue this morning when hot coals and ashes are cooled."
Odell firefighters were first on the scene and were assisted by fire crews from Parkdale, Pine Grove, and West Side along with an ambulance team from Hood River.
None of the Odell 38 engaged firefighters were injured while fighting the blaze over a two-hour period, but the structure was a total loss. Only two partial walls are left standing.
According to Borton, the home was owned by the Sakamoto family and contact efforts are underway to notify the registered owners.
Neither Borton nor the Hood River County Sheriff Department believe anyone was utilizing the derelict property for shelter at the time of the fire. The two-story home held only minimal furnishings.
Odell fire crews remained on the scene throughout the night to quell flare-ups and ensure safety for neighbors.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

Owners plan to rebuild Laona supper club after fire
Submitted: 03/27/2017
Enlarge Image
- Workers will need to start from scratch to rebuild the Silver Lake Inn supper club in Laona.
Only rubble and a stubborn brick chimney remain there right now. Fire ripped through the building in late November. Now, those charred remains have been torn down.
Owner Karen Davis said they plan to rebuild. She said her goal is to have it open again by the end of the year.
Laona Fire Chief Dave Rosio said he has yet to receive a report from the state fire marshal, who investigated the cause of the fire.

Alderman Alex Young hopes to turn an old snow dumping dock site into a "pocket park." The site sits where Norway Street runs into the Wisconsin River behind Ripco Credit Union and the DNR Service Center building.

Argentine Trekking Destinations
Hugo Lesser is an Anglo-South American based in Salta in north west Argentina. As an outdoor enthusiast, it seems only fitting that he would share his favourite places to trek in Argentina.
Fitz Roy, Patagonia
Named after the captain of Darwin's ship the Beagle, Fitz Roy arguably offers more impressive vistas than the famous Torres del Paine in neighbouring Chile. Base yourself at the small but civilised, fun town of El Calafate in south-western Argentine Patagonia (only a 2 hour flight from Buenos Aires), from where you can also visit the awesome Perito Moreno glacier (for ice trekking), a highlight of the country and a significant natural wonder. Trekking on and around Fitz Roy is not overly challenging, and so open to walkers of all abilities, with or without a guide. It's at relatively low altitude for the Andes, and there is plenty of fresh, clean drinking water around, allowing trekkers to carry less. The climate is perhaps the most challenging aspect, as strong Patagonian winds sweep the region throughout the summer months. Wrap up warmly though, and you'll be rewarded with some of the most interesting scenery and wildlife (including condors, ostriches, and guanacos) in the world.
Tempted? Here are a few options of how to do it:
Active Argentina Holiday: Walking in Patagonia
Family Patagonia: Glacial lakes and mountains
Honeymoon in Argentina: Tango of the South
Tierra del Fuego
There are numerous treks available around Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, at the very tip of America, where the Andes end. The whole area is a national park, and breath-taking views abound. One interesting day trek starts 25km from the city and takes you through ancient Lengua tree forests, up above the tree line and to the blue ice caves of the Alvear Glacier. Another option is to climb Monte Susana, again a day trek there and back, the summit of which offers astounding panoramic views of Ushuaia, the Beagle channel, the national park, and various islands. The area also offers some very good longer (4 - 6 day) hikes, taking in Paso Beban, Paso de las 5 Lagunas and Lago Alto Bahia Grande.
Take a look at:
Active Argentina: Walking in Patagonia
The Andean Northwest
The trekking season in the north west is during winter, as during summer the heat in the mountains is too fierce. Trekking is generally at high altitude, for at least part of the way, so caution is recommended for elderly or unfit hikers. One trek starts from the village of Iruya, 300km north of Salta and at 10,000 feet above sea level, from where you follow the valleys and the Iruya river along the former Inca trails and through the villages to the north, San Isidro, San Juan, Tacupampa, and San Pedro, with their adobe houses and whitewashed colonial churches. You'll definitely need a guide though, and a hat, as well as warm clothes for the evenings. Lots of other treks are available starting out from Purmamarca, taking in the Hill of Seven Colours and the Paseo de los Colorados, a valley filled with bright red skyscraper-impersonating rock formations.
Self-drive Argentina: Highlights of the hidden northwest
Iguazú National Park, Missiones
The several hundred waterfalls at Iguazú in the furthest north east corner of the country are collectively an undisputed natural wonder of the world. As Eleanor Roosevelt put it, poor Niagara! The enormous thundering waterfalls are set in the Iguazú National Park on the Argentine side (Brazil is on the other side of the river), a huge, beautifully mapped and managed, subtropical wildlife reserve. You can stay either at the Sheraton in the park (one guide book described the buffet lunch there as a site comparable in majesty to the falls themselves), or in the nearby town of Puerto Iguazú. When you enter the park, you receive a map, and you can spend a day exploring the falls (many of which you can walk out over and in front of on suspended walkways), and several more days enjoying the extensive flora and fauna along the park's jungle trails.
How to do it:
Visit the Argentine Side of the Falls
Iguazú Boat Trip & Wildlife Safari
The Argentine Lake District
The Argentine Lake District contains five national parks and arguably the most incredible scenery in the country, with its combination of clear, calm lakes and the Andean peaks both behind and reflected in them. A network of refugios (refuges) offering basic accommodation and food during the summer months in what would otherwise be the middle of nowhere allows for easier trekking to remoter places. More information and maps are available in Bariloche. Two popular destinations are the Refugio Frey, accessible in a day from the Cerro Catedral ski resort, where several other days can be spent exploring, returning to the refugio each night, and the Refugio Cerro Otto Meiling, perched in an unlikely, awe inspiring position on Mt. Tronador.

In two weeks, Birmingham dog lovers will finally have another option of leisure for the family pet, as Birmingham's first city dog park will begin construction. Construction will begin at one of our city's municipal golf courses, the Lincoln Hills Golf Course, located at West Fourteen Mile, just west of Cranbrook Road. The golf course will move their Golf Education Center in order to make room for the new dog park, which will be just under an acre in size.
The dog park is scheduled to be finished sometime this fall, but if warmer weather extends the golfing at Lincoln Hills, that schedule might be pushed back a couple weeks. To find out more about the new dog park, call (248)531-1800.
