Join the Sides
Place the 30-inch side of the front piece horizontal, and then prop up the two side pieces in between this front piece, with the 30-inch side running from front to back.
Place the angled portion at the back of the structure, and square up the joined sides so that they form an open-faced box. Use the wood screws to secure the sidepieces to the front. Then, form support braces by taking the 16-inch 2-by-2 boards and placing them in the corners where the sides join the front piece, securing them with wood screws.
Attach the Bottom
Flip the unit upside down and lay down the bottom piece, lining up the plywood with the front of the cart so that an extra 6 inches of wood extends over the back. Use screws through the bottom to secure it to the front and the sides. Then, add braces using the three 30-inch pieces of 1-by-4 boards, laying them across the bottom at the front, center, and bottom portion where the sides end. Secure these braces with more wood screws.
Make the Handle
Next, take the 56-inch 2-by-4s and position one on each side of the cart where the side meets the bottom. Use the wood screws to secure these 2-by-4s to the box, forming the handles. Measure the distance between the handles and then cut the dowel rod to this length. Form a handlebar by securing a dowel rod to the end of the handles. Use the sandpaper to round off any rough edges.
Assemble the Wheels
Place the pneumatic tires onto the threaded axle rod, using a washer and lock nut to keep the tire in place. Then, place the axle rod assembly at the bottom of the cart along the side, giving at least a 1-inch clearance between the edge of the box and the wheel. Use the hacksaw to cut the threaded rod so that there is the same clearance on the other side, and then put the second tire on the rod and secure it in place.
Install the Wheels
Position the tires and axle 12 inches from the front of the cart, and then take two 30-inch 1-by-4 boards and put them on either side of the axle to hold it in place, securing them to the cart with wood screws. Add an additional brace by putting a 30-inch 1-by-4 over the axle assembly and its support, and secure it with more screws.
Add the Legs and Additional Support
Take two 13-inch 2-by-2 boards and line them up with the sides 12 inches from the back of the cart. Drive wood screws down into these legs from the inside of the cart box until they are firmly in place. Finish the car by installing braces along the inside cart box with 2-by-2 pieces placed and secured across the vertical corners.

Many people say that learning Lisp changes the way they program in other languages. Well, I suspect that reading Higher Order Perl will change the way I program in Lisp, so I thought it deserved at least a tip of the hat here.
Disclaimer: It's entirely possible that everything in HOP is already in SICP. But I haven't read SICP. One day ...
My favorite chapter so far (haven't finished it yet) was on iterators. I'm familiar with recursion, closures, caching, and memoization, so iterators were the first really new stuff for me, and I quite like them.
One interesting thing is that it mentions the problem of having a predicate that can validly return NIL (or undef in Perl-speak) but still mean "true", and that Lispers call this the "semi-predicate problem". I've read several Lisp books and never run across the term "semi-predicate problem". (Google shows it's fairly common, though. Perhaps if I'd ever taken an actual class on Lisp/Scheme I'd've heard of it before. Or maybe I just haven't read the right books. )

A Letter received for the July 19, 2016, Tomahawk Leader
Should Lincoln County's Pine Crest Nursing Home be sold to a private, for-profit company, or should this fine facility be maintained as a possession of our county, with bonding approved for improvements? These are questions, which the residents of Lincoln County must answer in the next two months. I have attempted to do my homework, and I will explain why we must say: "Lincoln County Pine Crest Nursing Home is Not for Sale!"
FIRST: How would residents at a for-profit, private nursing home, versus our Lincoln County owned and operated Pine Crest Nursing Home be affected? Throughout the years, Pine Crest has maintained a ratio of 70% to 75% Medical Assistance (Medicaid) residents. 25% to 30% private pay, hospice and Medicare residents help offset the deficit of Medicaid residents; additionally, through tax levy, Lincoln County contributes annually approximately $550,000 to help offset the medical assistance deficit. Pine Crest's annual budget is over $12 million and thus, our tax levy contribution is minimal and comes to under 5% of that total budget.
The majority of Pine Crest residents have lived their entire lives in Lincoln County. They have worked here, contributed to our county, and paid taxes. Thus, it is not unreasonable, that we take care of them in their senior years. In fact, it is our public obligation, or as a wise man stated, "It is our moral obligation, that we care for all of our senior citizens."
Private, for-profit nursing homes are under no obligation to accept Medical Assistance (Medicaid) residents, and, in fact, they limit the number of Medicaid residents, as they must operate at a 7 & 1/2 % profit ratio, which would amount to about $700,000 for Pine Crest. For example, an unnamed private nursing home in Wausau will accept no more than 29% Medical Assistance (Medicaid) residents. Please compare that to the acceptance rate at Pine Crest of 70% to 75%. Furthermore, consider, that this profit margin of perhaps $700,000 or more, would not remain in Lincoln County, nor would it in any way benefit the residents of Lincoln County. That profit would go to corporate headquarters of that for-profit company, which would be based elsewhere in Wisconsin or even out of state.
In Lincoln County, that would leave about 50 senior citizens, who need to be on Medical Assistance. Where would they go? Will they be homeless? Will it be you, in your senior years?
SECOND: How would employees be affected? Currently, Pine Crest has 210 employees. 70% of Pine Crest's budget is for salaries and benefits, which include contributions to pension and health insurance. The majority of employees are covered by the health insurance offered, which is the same health insurance under which all Lincoln County employees are covered. Having more employees under one plan helps spread the risk, and thus also lowers individual rates.
Because a for-profit nursing home must operate at a 7 & 1/2% profit ratio, wages are lower, no pension plan is available, and any health insurance offered is more expensive for employees. Furthermore, in order to maintain that profit margin, the number of employees must be cut. Anyone who has worked as a CNA at county and also at private nursing homes will tell you about low wages, too few employees, and low staff morale, which exist at private facilities. Lower wages mean that employees have less purchasing power, less money to buy homes and pay taxes. Additionally, we need to attract not only more skilled women, but also more skilled men to the CNA and nursing staffs, but this will not happen at a private facility, if they are not paid a living wage.
THIRD: Will quality of standards be maintained? "Pine Crest is currently very well managed," stated one of the brokers, who has already started assessing this property. Yes, it is, and its employees have won awards over the past many years. This year, Doris Clausen was honored with the State Award for Assistant Activity Director of the Year, and then went on to be honored with the National Award. Thus, I ask: why would we want to sell this superbly run nursing home?
FOURTH: Will volunteers continue at a private entity? Pine Crest has over 150 dedicated volunteers. Typically, one does not see this outpouring of volunteer spirit at a for-profit facility, yet, without them, many activities would cease. This year, Richard LeDuc, who volunteers much of his time to the residents at Pine Crest Nursing Home, won the State and National Volunteer of the Year Award.
Would such contributions continue at a for-profit facility?
FIFTH: Will our Lincoln County Board of Supervisors vote for and approve bonding, and what does this mean? A new building project is planned, and in order to make Pine Crest attractive to present and future residents, this must go forward. Currently, the majority of rooms are 2 or 3 person occupancy. The proposed building project will include the following: a new, 20-bed unit, with private rooms, for rehabilitation patients, who have different needs than long-term residents; a special care, 20-bed unit, with private rooms; the majority of rooms in the current building would be remodeled, as private rooms, in order to meet the needs of present and prospective residents. This remodeling project will give Pine Crest a great edge in the increasingly competitive nursing home market.
The GOOD NEWS is, that this entire building project will not cost Lincoln County and its tax payers one dime! Why is that? The entire building and remodeling project will be paid for by the Medical Assistance Program, which is a state and federal program, which is, of course, not available to for-profit entities.
The bonding, which I ask our Lincoln County Board of Supervisors to pass and accept,is to initially fund the Pine Crest building project, but will be fully reimbursed by the Medical Assistance Program. (The Pine Crest expansion project completed in 1992 was done under the same program, and thus, did not cost Lincoln County taxpayers one dime.) Thus, the building and re-modeling projects will be completed at no cost to Lincoln County taxpayers. In essence......free!!!!
At present, the vote for bonding will be held at the August 16th meeting of the Lincoln County Board of Supervisors, however, as not all construction bids are in, as of this date, a special meeting for that vote may be scheduled for late August or early September.
I have attempted to clarify, why it makes good business and human sense to retain Pine Crest Nursing Home as a possession of Lincoln County. This is a win-win situation.
Despite this, it is my impression, that at least four individuals on our Lincoln County Board of Supervisors plan to vote against bonding, and would like to put the "For Sale" sign in front of Pine Crest Nursing Home, and these individuals are: Michael Loka, Carl VanderSanden, Loretta Baughan, and Bill Zeitz. It appears that two additional members are leaning in that direction. 17 "yes" votes are required, for the bonding issue to pass, and those 17 supervisors must be present for the vote. Unfortunately, if a supervisor is not present for that vote, his or her vote is counted as a "no" vote. The supervisors, who are against bonding and who propose selling Pine Crest to a for-profit company, have not clarified their positions. Why do they want Lincoln County to sell this very well run facility? We must never have a two-tiered system in our country, where only those with the financial wherewithal will be taken care of in their senior years. Yet, that is exactly what they are proposing.
Please telephone and put pressure on your Lincoln County Board of Supervisors Representative, and tell that individual: "Pine Crest is not for Sale!"
Respectfully submitted by Catherine G. LeMay-Brown of Lincoln County
Is Lincoln County's Pine Crest Nursing Home for Sale?

RALEIGH - North Carolinians are divided over the sweeping reform of immigration laws in the United States.
While supporters in the Tar Heel state say the proposal pitched by senators Monday is a step in the right direction, at least one opponent is upset by a lack of public discussion before the proposal was announced.
"We object to their conducting their negotiations to this (proposal) in secret meetings," said William Gheen, president of the Raleigh-based Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee.
Gheen said he was not surprised by Monday's announcement, but said the four key points outlined in the proposal are "damaging" to current American workers, taxpayers, voters and students. He thinks the proposal is similar to the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, gives amnesty to illegal immigrants and relies on "enforcement of policies tomorrow."
Those in North Carolina who support the proposal also voiced concerns about the issues it leaves unsettled.
Angeline Echeverria, executive director of El Pueblo in Raleigh, said she wants to know how the proposal would affect people who already have been detained by federal immigration officials. Many families have been broken by immigration laws, she said, and the proposal does not address that.
Kate Woomer-Deters, a lawyer who works with the North Carolina Justice Center, said the proposal creates a new immigration status for eligible undocumented immigrants but puts them in "legal limbo." The status would fast-track them to proper citizenship, but put them behind others already in line for it - and the wait is about 20 years, she said.
Woomer-Deters also is worried about the plan to grant special consideration to people who obtain an advanced degree in science, math, technology or engineering from an American university.
That could drive a wedge between the haves and the have-nots of the illegal immigrant population, she said.
"We're advocates for the low-income folks," Woomer-Deters said, adding that she prefers a path to citizenship that is equal for all illegal immigrants.
Echeverria said she was glad to see immigration reform back in the national spotlight but thinks the language used in Monday's proposal does not address how the reforms would or could affect families.
"We're talking about people," she said. "We're talking about human beings. We're talking about families."

Jennings' ninth inning single sends Rays past Marlins
St. Petersburg, FL – Desmond Jennings singled home the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied to beat the Miami Marlins, 7-6.
The Rays fought back from a 4-0 deficit, only to see the Marlins go up 6-5 in the top of the eighth as Greg Dobbs delivered a two-out RBI single.
Tampa Bay pulled even in the home half of the inning, however, as a two-out base hit by Yunel Escobar plated Luke Scott.
After Fernando Rodney (2-2) shut down Miami with relative ease in the top of the ninth, Kelly Johnson and Evan Longoria hit back-to-back singles off Mike Dunn (1-1) to begin the bottom of the frame. Dunn retired the next two batters before being replaced by Chad Qualls, who gave up Jennings' game-ending hit, an opposite-field liner over a leaping first baseman.
The Rays swept the two-game interleague set at Tropicana Field. The Citrus Series will now shift to Marlins Park for games on Wednesday and Thursday.
Jennings and Scott each had three hits and scored two runs, while Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson permitted five runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
"Desmond was really big. We talked about a few things with him. It was outstanding to see the line drive down the right-field line to win the ball game," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Chris Coghlan had a two-run triple and a solo homer for Miami, which has dropped seven in a row. Kevin Slowey got the start for the Marlins and allowed four runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Justin Ruggiano put Miami on the board with an RBI single in the second, and the visitors tacked on three two-out runs in the next inning. Placido Polanco kept the third alive with a single and came home on Derek Dietrich's triple. Marcell Ozuna then walked and scored along with Dietrich on Coghlan's subsequent hit.
Tampa Bay got two runs back after loading the bases in its half of the third. Matt Joyce lofted a sacrifice fly and Johnson followed with an RBI single.
The Rays produced another run on fourth-inning doubles by Jennings and Escobar, but Miami went up 5-3 when Coghlan led off the sixth with a blast to right field.
Jose Lobaton tied things up for Tampa Bay with a two-run double in the bottom of the sixth.
"Any time you get walked off three times in a road trip its tough. It wears on everyone," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.
Game Notes
The Rays improved to 7-1 in interleague play this season ... Ozuna extended his hitting streak to 13 games after going 2-for-3. He scored half of Miami's runs ... Tampa Bay was 6-for-16 with runners in scoring position.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is no stranger to postgame outbursts. His infamous postgame tweet directed at Tom Brady last season helped make Sherman a star.
Speaking Monday on WEEI-FM, Brady was asked about Sherman's NFC Championship Game aftermath, giving a predictable down-the-middle response.
Sound FX
will feature Championship Game sound from Richard Sherman, Michael Crabtree, Russell Wilson and more at midnight ET on Wednesday, Jan. 22.
» NFL Network schedule
"I don't know him at all," Brady said of Sherman. "I've watched him play. He's that kind of guy. So, you know. I approach the game -- and I have respect for my opponents. That's the way our team always plays. We win with graciousness, and when we lose, we could do better. Some teams don't always do that, or that's not their program.
"The only way to counter that is to beat them," Brady went on. "When you don't win, it's hard not to say -- you just gotta shut your mouth and listen to it. Maybe when you get an opportunity down the road, maybe that's a source of motivation. But they got a good team, they played well all year. They played well at home. And that's why they advanced, too."
This is the part where we usually offer some comment or analysis, but it's fair to say there's not much meat left on this bone.

Here's Anna Olson of Lewis-Palmer High School in Colorado pulling off what many are calling an impossible throw from three-quarters court. If they didn't end the game and declare a winner right then, that is just not right. In fact, they should've just ended the entire season and named Anna Olson the winning team in all the sports in the world. Not to get all hyperbolic, but DAMN GIRL.

I'd been building Rails apps for seven years at that point. The book did well. I talked about the many insane and poorly-conceived quirks in Rails, and the reasons Rails succeeded despite those quirks. Newbie Rails devs liked it because they wanted to avoid the framework's pitfalls, and understand the real mechanisms behind the so-called "magic." People with deeper experience and perspective liked it because Rails embodies a fascinating balance of inane bullshit and inspired brilliance, and it's a challenge to uncover the unifying themes, or to understand how these two polar opposites combine.
But I left out something important.
Who do you think is the second most important person in the history of Rails? Obviously, the first is its creator, David Heinemeier Hansson. And there's a long tail of open source contributors and bloggers who did the important work of developing and documenting Rails. But who would be second in line?
Would the second most important person in the history of Rails be Yehuda Katz, the architect of the Rails/Merb merge? No. Mr. Katz's work would never have mattered anyway unless Rails had already gotten off the ground. So it's someone who came along earlier. Someone who Mr. Hansson, when blogging, frequently mentioned and quoted. That's a hint. But it wasn't the founder of 37Signals (now Basecamp), Jason Fried.
Here's another hint, to make it easy. I'll quote an excerpt from my book which describes the effect this person had on Rails:
Rails "luxuries" are in actuality not luxuries at all, but massive, almost godly productivity boosts. Seriously. The code is a mess in places, and even some of the core ideas are bizarrely twisted, but the design is just genius, especially in terms of the priorities it establishes...I'm not going to say Steve Jobs was the second most important person in the history of Rails, because it wasn't actually Steve Jobs who inspired this stuff.
This, I think, is the most important thing you can learn from Rails: Make Steve Jobs your role model when you design your APIs, and the world will be your oyster.
Kathy Sierra inspired this stuff, and not only that, but I knew this at the time, because when Rails first came out, DHH often quoted Sierra and linked to her blog all the time. I had a habit of diving deeper into the stuff DHH talked about at the time — for instance, the fantastic book Code Generation In Action — and so I read Sierra's magnificent blog of that era avidly. Every word was genius.
And every word was the specific type of genius I talked about in my own book, many years later. All of the underappreciated "luxuries" of Rails development — Rake tasks, migrations, ActiveSupport, the design of ActiveRecord's API, and even scaffolding (which was briefly an awesome thing, in the very early days, when Rails was brand spanking new) — stem from Kathy Sierra's gospel of ease-of-use and user empowerment.
These techniques live on beyond Rails, in countless other frameworks and libraries, as a testament to their usefulness. They made developing Rails apps fun and exciting, and they made every Rails developer quicker, more fluid, and more capable than most had ever been in their lives. The result: staggering popularity, feverish excitement, and an overabundance of eager evangelists. (A few people would claim they'd been equally productive in Scheme or Smalltalk, but even they were still quite excited about Rails.)
Ms. Sierra's writing predicted that if you focus on making your users incredibly effective, and you focus on getting them from newbie status to productive status quickly and gracefully, you'll produce that popularity, that excitement, and those evangelists. And Mr. Hansson obviously read her work, because he blogged about how great it was. And Ms. Sierra's design philosophy did for Rails exactly what she said it would.
I noticed all this recently, because I was reading Kathy Sierra's new book. It's excellent, and it's the missing link in understanding Rails. I had somehow forgotten about this, and in the intervening years, I'd written a book of my own where I reduced all of Kathy Sierra's brilliant insights to a brief reference to Steve Jobs instead.
There's a word for that. It's called erasure.
Here's a simple example: the current issue of Future Music, a print magazine about making electronic music, features a woman named Emika. She has a degree in music tech and did sound design for two of the best manufacturers of music gear. The interviewer asks her if she feels it's unusual and non-traditional for her to be an electronic music producer, because she's a woman. In fact, one of the greatest pioneers of electronic music was a woman named Delia Derbyshire. But the modern producer's unaware of her historical predecessor, and so is the interviewer. And this is not unusual; the achievements of women often vanish beneath a sea of understatement and undeserved dismissal. Emika has plenty of contemporaries; the Future Music story doesn't mention them.
I did the same thing to Kathy Sierra. It's important to recognize that, at the time I did so, I would have called myself a feminist in general, and a fan of Ms. Sierra in particular. I had bought a bunch of her Head First books, and based my entire presentation style on them, to wild acclaim. But I not only failed to tell people where I got the style, I honestly forgot, and went on to write blog posts about my presentation style, and to sell a video explaining how it works (which, again, met with wild acclaim, and paid my bills for a while).
This is something which was hard for me to understand, and I think it's hard for a lot of other guys as well. It's not just that I'm guilty of a sexist revisionist history; I'm also guilty of a sexist forgetting. The guilt is accidental. But it's still guilt. What I did was not the right thing.
I probably got that understanding from a woman too, and I wish I could remember for sure.
Anyway, Ms. Sierra's new book is fantastic, and you should read it. And at some point, when I get the time, I hope to revise my own.

In this ongoing series, we ask executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders about mistakes that have shaped their business philosophy.
Seth Goldman
Founded in 1998 in Bethesda, Md., Honest Tea is the top-selling organic bottled tea company in America, specializing in beverages that are "Just a Tad Sweet." Honest Tea's product lines include bottled teas, Honest Kids organic juice drinks, and zero calorie sodas. The Coca-Cola Company acquired Honest Tea in 2011. The company recently announced that McDonald's will start carrying Honest Kids juice drinks in its Happy Meals, starting in November.
The Mistake:
For Honest Tea the mistake was pretty clearly our decision to become a part owner of a bottling plant.
We'd been building the Honest brand, and we thought when we were building the business, that we were a tea company. We assumed tea was the most important part of our proposition. It was only through this experience that we realized what we really were building was the Honest brand, and that's much more powerful than tea.
In our very first year, we had two struggles around production. We'd go to different bottling plants and ask them to make our product. Most of the time they'd say no, until someone finally said yes. It was an apple juice packing plant, and that was fine until it was apple season. Then they said, "Well, we have to be making our apple juice, and there's no time to make your product."
We realized that if we can't make our product, then we're out of business. So we went around to different plants, and finally found one that was available for sale. We partnered with two other companies to buy the plant. The two other owners were similar to me—they had brands they were trying to build and needed line time. But they were also similar in that they didn't have any experience running a bottling company.
We each ended up spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to keep this bottling plant in business. We were each devoting lots of energy to worrying about machine parts and boilers, and licenses from Pennsylvania—all types of things that had nothing to do with building a brand.
We owned the plant for six years—the six longest years of my life! The plant was outside of Pittsburgh and I lived in Maryland—that's a four-hour drive. I was getting up at 2 a.m. to get to the plant by 6 a.m. I'd leave the plant by 4 p.m. to get home by 8 p.m. On those days I'd be drained for the week. It was taking a lot of my physical energy and my mental energy. It wasn't so much that I was unskilled at it, but it really wasn't my passion and it wasn't what I was best at. I was putting a lot of energy into things that weren't the best use of my energy.
We eventually ended up selling the plant to somebody else. And when we finally did that, all of a sudden I had all this energy and time that I'd been wasting on something else. As a result I was able to sharpen my focus and realize that we're really building this brand. It's not about tea, it's about this word "honest"—organic, authentic, healthier products. When we were able to just focus on building the brand, it became a much more effective business proposition.
It's not about tea, it's about this word 'honest'—organic, authentic, healthier products.
The Lesson:
One of the lessons I learned is to make sure you understand what you're building, and focus on developing that. Make sure you're really building what's most valuable about the business. Honest Tea eventually sold to Coca-Cola and the last thing Coca-Cola needed was another bottling plant, because they've got those. And we certainly weren't running a bottling plant that was a model of incredible efficiency.
By contrast, we were building a brand around organic, healthier ingredients, and authenticity, and that was something that was tremendously valuable to them.
The other lesson is to think about where your energy goes. As an entrepreneur, people say the most valuable resource you have is time. I actually don't think it's time, I think it's energy. Because then the question becomes, what do you do with your time?
I like to think I have more energy than the typical person, and I've been told I do, but at the end of the day there's only so much of it. So for me to be putting so much of my energy into a bottling plant that wasn't really building the kind of value that ultimately was the source of value for the enterprise, that wasn't useful. Fortunately, I was able to adjust and we made a much more effective use of my time and energy.

So you've got an older generation iPad and you want either the newly announced iPad mini or the more powerful 4th generation iPad. What should you do with your old iPad and more importantly, how much cash can you get to put towards your shiny new one?
Getting top dollar for your old iPad
There are many things you can do to make sure you get the best price possible for your old iPad. With phones, you get more value when they're unlocked but with iPads, you don't really have that hurdle to jump over. Instead, you can increase the value of what you get for your iPad if it's in excellent condition and you're throwing in some extras. Here's a few things you should consider before listing your iPad for sale.
Include accessories and extras
Including things like cases, chargers, docks, or anything else that you have that you're willing to part with or won't be compatible with your new iPad will increase what you can get for it. If you had a growing collection of 30-pin cables that'll serve you no good with your new iPad, part with a few of them and invest that money into a few new Lightning cables.
You'll also find some people that'll pay more if you have the box and the original accessories it came with.
The more you have to go with it, the more you'll get for it.
Take high quality images
There's nothing more annoying than trying to find something for sale online and not being able to see any decent images. Make sure you're taking high quality images of not only the iPad, but of any extras that you're throwing in with it.
Get pictures of the front and the back so potential buyers know what they're getting. I've also become accustomed to getting pictures with the screen on and then close ups of the screen with the backlight off so users can see that the screen is in excellent condition and doesn't have any scuffs or scratches in it.
If you're iPad does have a little bit of cosmetic damage, be open and honest about it in your listing and with any buyer that may contact you. It doesn't mean you won't sell your iPad. Buyers prefer honest sellers. If you list it as mint condition but then come back and tell a potential buyer about little dents and dings, you'll probably lose the buyer. Be up front from the beginning and you'll have better luck and much more potential for a quick sale.
Putting your iPad up for sale
Once you've decided what you are and aren't including in the sale of your iPad and you've taken some high quality images of everything, you're ready to list it for sale. Here are some of the places we recommend starting with. Notice that some will offer you store credit while others will get you cold hard cash. So choose wisely before agreeing to sell to a buyer or a service.
Apple Reuse and Recycling Program
Apple will gladly buy back your old iPad and either reuse it as a refurbished unit or recycle it on your behalf through their Reuse and Recycling Program. You'll be asked a series of questions regarding the condition, capacity, and color of your iPad. It's important that you're honest because Apple will of course check that what you told them matches the actual condition once they receive the iPad.
After Apple certifies that the iPad is in working condition they'll issue you an Apple Store gift card that you can use towards any purchase. If you're using the proceeds of your old iPad to go towards a new iPad mini or 4th generation iPad, this is a great way to get Apple Store credit quickly and relatively painlessly.
Here is what you can expect to get for the base 16GB models for all existing generations of iPad. If your capacity is larger, you'll fetch a higher amount.
- 16GB Wi-Fi only original iPad in excellent condition - $105
- 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad 2 in excellent condition - $175
- 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad 3 in excellent condition - $250
Amazon Trade-In Store
Amazon, like Apple, will buy back your old iPad as well through the Amazon Trade-In Store. The only hitch here is that you'll be given payment in the form of an Amazon gift card. If you're looking for hard cash to put towards a new iPad purchase and you don't want to wait for Amazon to have it in stock, it may not be the best option.
If you're okay with Amazon credit though, it's a pretty painless process. You'll choose the model, capacity, and color of your current iPad and add it to your trade-in. You'll then be given a shipping label and instructions. Once Amazon receives your old iPad, they'll issue you an Amazon gift card for the trade-in value. Amazon is currently offering up to $190 for a first generation 16GB iPad, $300 for a 16GB iPad 2, and $390 for a 16GB 3rd generation iPad.
SellYourMac.com offers a similar service to Gazelle by letting you send in your old iPad for payment with little to no hassle involved. They'll not only buy your old iPad, but any Apple gear you have laying around. This is a good option if you have other Apple products you're willing to sell besides an old iPad.
You'll be required to provide pictures along with a serial number next to your item description and condition. Once SellYourMac.com receives your iPad they clean it, inspect it and verify that it's in working condition before they turn around and sell it on eBay. Users can receive payment via Paypal if they choose as well. SellYourMac's quotes are a little higher than other competing services such as Gazelle. Base 16GB Wi-Fi only iPad models will get you anywhere between $155 and $305.
Selling your iPad on eBay is a pretty simple process. If you've ever used eBay for selling things in the past then you know the selling process isn't all that tricky, however there are still some things to keep in mind when using eBay to sell your iPad. For instance, eBay charges fees for each auction based on the item you're selling and how much it sells for, among other things, so here are five quick tips to help you get the most out of your auction:
- Only ship to the buyer's confirmed Paypal address if using Paypal.
- Price competitively, especially if you're using Buy It Now as an option.
- Make sure the pictures you use follow your description and are good quality - post pictures of any physical blemishes on the iPad and be up-front in your description.
- Use a fast shipping service and make sure you include that in your item description. People are impatient by nature so sellers that offer fast shipping tend to sell items quicker.
- Use keywords in your title and in your item description to attract more potential buyers.
- You may also want to consider insuring your item in case anything goes wrong during shipping. Watch out for low-feedback buyers and also keep in mind that Paypal charges processing fees as well.
Craigslist allows you to list items for sale in your area so you can perform the transaction locally and face-to-face. This is a quick way to get some cash for your iPad on the spot and also an easy way to let the buyer check out the iPad in person before committing to the purchase. As long as you were honest about the condition and specifications, you should have no issue in completing a painless transaction with a buyer.
- Don't ever put your personal or home address in an ad. Ever!
- Price your iPad competitively. A good way to do this is to find existing ads on Craigslist in your area for iPads that are the same model, capacity, and condition as yours and price accordingly. If your iPad shows up next to someone else's and yours is grossly overpriced, it won't sell.
- Some buyers prefer being able to text or call you immediately about an item and it may increase the likelihood of a quick sale. Having a phone number that they can reach you at is ideal. Only do this if you're comfortable with putting your phone number on the internet. This is a good time to use a Google Voice number or other forwarding number if you have one.
- Meet in a public place, preferably in the daytime. A coffee place like Starbucks is a good idea. It's also never a bad idea to bring a friend or relative with you. While most buyers are perfectly friendly, there are shady people out there. If the person doesn't want to meet in a public place, pass on them and wait for someone who doesn't have an issue with that.
- Watch out for email scams, something Craigslist is notorious for. Anyone offering to pay you a great deal more than the list price or who asks you to ship the item to a foreign country is a scammer. Delete their e-mails and correspondence immediately and wait for a legitimate buyer to come along.
Sell your iPad to a friend or family member
Even if you aren't willing to part with your old iPad for free, it doesn't mean friends or family members aren't interested in buying it from you. Perhaps they don't have an iPad and don't care about having the newest model available. Using this method you ensure that your old iPad finds a good home and you know the buyer isn't a scam artist.
Ask around and offer a reasonable price and you may be surprised how many of your friends or family members could be willing to snag your old iPad. Throwing in accessories such as cases can help sweeten the deal as well.

Last month I reviewed an excellent gardening / food book Grow Great Grub by Gayla Trail. Then of course I had all sorts of excitement with the New Seeds announcement and I didn't get a chance to post what looks to be a delicious recipe. This is a jelly recipe I'll look forward to making as soon as my Dark Opal has reached maturity.
"This recipe uses low-methoxyl pectin, a type that allows jam and jelly makers to cut back on the sugar. As a result, this recipe will not work with regular pectin."
1 1/2 cups fresh Dark Opal Basil leave, finely chopped
1/2 cup white grape juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 cups sugar
3 teaspoons low-methoxyl pectin
3 teaspoons calcium phosphate solution
1. Place the basil, white grape juice and 1 1/2 cups water in a pan and bring to a boil. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and set aside to steep for about 20 minutes.
2. Strain the leaves from the liquid. Some liquid will have evaporated, so add more water to bring the quantity up to 2 cups.
3. Pour the liquid back into the pan along with the lemon juice and slowly bring the mixture to a boil. In the meantime, mix the sugar and low-methoxyl pectin in a bowl.
4. Once the herbal liquid is bowling, slowly stir in the sugar-pectin mixture using a whisk, continuing to stir until the powders have dissolved into the liquid and all lumps are gone.
5. Bring the liquid to a vigorous rolling boil that can't be stirred down and allow it to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6. Quickly and thoroughly stir in the calcium phosphate solution and remove the jelly from from the heat.
7. Pour into sterilized jars and process in a boiling-water bath for 5 minutes.
Makes 5-6 quarter-pint jars
"If you'd rather not bother with sterilizing jars, leave the jelly on the counter to cool and set for a few hours before serving. It will last about a month in the fridge."

I wouldn't mind if this eight-legged miniature monster would go hang out somewhere else, instead of living in the euonymus by my front door.
I Googled 'black and yellow spider' and discovered that this is a Black-and-Yellow Argiope (Argiope aurantia). They're also known as the Black-and-Yellow Garden Spider, because they are commonly found in the garden. Apparently they're harmless to humans and feast on large insects, like grasshoppers and butterflies. Either way, I'd prefer if this little arachnid keep to himself!

Provocation of migraine by dietary components has been clearly described in
the medical literature for over 100 years. Competing immunologic and metabolic
concepts of pathogenesis have been proposed. The metabolic concept inroducted
by Alex Russell1,2,3 was based upon inherited enzyme deficiencies,
in some apparently increasing the sensitivity of migraineurs to vasoactive substances
consumed in food. Deficient activity of monoamine- and diamine-oxidases and
of phenolsulphotransferase have been described. Phenolic amines have been suggested
as triggers. The failure of tyramine administered alone to provoke migraine
in children has dampened enthusiasm for this hypothesis, although Russell's
concept of a specifically metabolic and X-linked genetically determined form
of hyperammonemic migraine has not been refuted. The immunologic concept assumes
a delayed allergic mechanism. Egger proposed a two-stage process in migraine
provocation: allergic reaction to foods increases intestinal permeability to
vasoactive substances derived from food or gut flora.
Marteletti and his colleagues have found evidence of altered immune activation
in pediatric and adult migraine. Following food challenge their subjects demonstrate
an increase in circulating immune complexes and in total and activated T-cells.
Egger et al have published the only double-flind placebo-controlled trials
of food intolerance in childhood migraine, confirming specific food sensitivities
in 52% of children with severe, frequent migraine. An average delay of two days
between exposure and symptom supports the thesis that provocation occurs in
stages. Egger, McEwen and Stolla subsequently demonstrated that children with
food-induced migraine could be desensitized to their food triggers by an immunologic
hyposensitization procedure. At the study'' end, 80% of children receiving active
treatment and 25% of children receiving placebo were able to resume a full normal
diet without experiencing migraine attacks (p=0.001).
These studies support a role of immunologic hypersensitivity in the genesis
of migraine in food-intolerant children.
Migraine headache and food intolerance are ancient phenomena, each mentioned
in the Hippocratic texts. Pediatric migraine as a distinct disorder received
relatively little attention until the middle of this century when Vahlquist
established strict criteria for its definition. These were paroxysmal headache
separated by pain-free intervals, associated with two fo the following four
features; nausea or vomiting, visual aura, positive family history of migraine,
unilateral distribution of throbbing pain.4 In studies conducted
twenty years apart in different countries, Bille5 and Silanpaa6
found the prevalence of migraine among schoolchildren to be approximately 4%,
using Valquist's criteria.
A role for dietary components in provoking attacks of migraine was first clearly
described in Living's classic monograph of 1873, which included four cases of
food-induced migraine7. During the first half of this century, numerous
reports of an association between migraine and food appeared, most attributing
headache to allergy8-13. The weak association between food-induced
migraine and total IgE levels or the results of cutaneous prick tests, however,
led some authors to doubt the existence of allergic headache14-17.
Over the past three decades, competition between immunologic and pharmacologic
mechanisms for food-induced migraine has received considerable attention. The
pharmacologic concept was initiated by Hannington in 1967, when she proposed
that food-borne tyramine, not anti- genic protein, was the trigger18.
In subsequent reports, Hannington and her colleagues suggested that migraineurs
are sensitive to tyramine because of a deficiency of monoamine oxidase in plateletsl19,20.
The defect in monoamine oxidase proved to be transitory, however, a result rather
than a cause of the migraine state21, and the group's attention turned
to a persisting deficiency of platelet phenolsulphotransferase as the underlying
biochemical defect in migraine22. Phenolsulphatransferase not only
inactivates phenylethylamines23 but also metabolizes other foodderived
phenols such as the flavonoids which may act as triggers for red wine headache24.
Additional candidates for the chief biochemical trigger of migraine have been
advanced by researchers in Sweden, Canada and Germany, based upon response to
exclusion diets. These include tryptophan, the precursor of serotonin25,
phenylalanine, the precursor of norepinephrine (which stimulates platelet serotonin
release)26 and histamine (which allegedly accumulates because of
a deficiency of diamine oxidase)27. The notion that food chemicals
provoke migraine because of enzymatic deficiency implies an inborn error of
metabolism, yet very few children with migraine have been studied biochemically.
During two double-blind placebo-controlled trials of tyramine feeding, Forsyth
and Redmond were unable to induce migraine headache in children28.
A similar study in adults also yielded negative results29. It seams
unlikely that monoamines alone are the principal. food triggers for pediatric
migraine, although Russell's concept of a specifically metabolic and X-linked
genetically determined form of hyperamnionemic migraine has not been refuted.
Indeed, the vindication of its X-linked transmission supports its analogy as
one form of classical migraine1.
Marteletti and his colleagues have found evidence of immunologic disturbance
following food challenges in patients with ostensibly food-related migraine,
specifically an increase in circulating immune complexes and activated T-cells30,31
and a decline in circulating levels of IL-4 and IL-6 accompanied by an increase
in gamma-IFN and GM-CSF32. They have also demonstrated protection
against precipitation of migraine attacks by oral administration of sodium cromoglycate,
a stabilizer of mast cell membranes33. Prophylactic benefits of sodium
cromoglycate in adult migraine have been demonstrated by Mansfield et al in
a double-blind placebo-controlled trial34 and by Monro et al35,36.
Paganelli found that ingestion of allergenic foods by atopic individuals produces
an increase in circulating immune complexes containing food protein, which can
be attenuated by pretreatment with cromolyn sodium37. Doering has
proposed that failure of migraineurs to clear food-containing circulating immune
complexes may precipitate an immunologically mediated headache and that susceptibility
to immunecomplex phenomena cannot be detected by prick tests or IgE measurements38.
Egger has attempted to weld together immunologic and pharmacologic mechanisms
in migraine with his proposal that food allergic reactions cause an increase
in small intestinal mucosal permeability which allows excessive absorption of
vasoactive substances from the gut, derived either from food or from the endogenous
flora39. His theory receives indirect support from the work of Andre
and of Dupont in Paris. Each has demonstrated that ingestion of food allergens
by atopic children causes an increase in para-cellular permeability of the small
intestine to biochemical substances such as the disaccharide lactulose, which
are ordinarily not absorbed from the intestinal tract. Dupont found a weak correlation
between prick test results and increased permeability in response to food challenge,
but a strong clinical correlation between provocation of allergic symptoms and
an increase in permeability on challenge40,41. Andre was able to
show that pre-treatment with cromolyn attenuated the permeability increase42
and concluded that the increase in permeability in response to food is more
sensitive and specific than prick tests or RAST and by itself constitutes an
accurate diagnostic test of food allergy43. If food-induced eczema
is considered a model for immunologic food allergy, then the inconsistent relationship
between prick test or RAST results and clinical response to food challenge is
found in atopic eczema as well as migraine and does not constitute evidence
against an immunologic basis for migraine. In contrast the protective effect
of sodium cromoglycate in both conditions suggests a pathogenetic role for gut
mast cells.
In 1970, McEwen and Constantinopoulos published the results of a prospective
trial of diet in so-called "intrinsic" asthma44. Three years later,
Professor Soothill of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London,
began investigating the role of non-atopic dietary hypersensitivity in a number
of common diseases of childhood, including migraine. Soothill accepted six principles
for dietary trials of nonatopic food sensitivity which had been set down by
McEwen. These are:
(1) The essential baseline for further investigation is a symptom-free patient
on a formal diagnostic diet.
(2) Because food intolerances are often multiple, the diagnostic diet must
be limited to a small number of foods which are unlikely to provoke intolerance
(3) Because non-atopic sensitivity often provokes prolonged and fluctuating
symptoms, the diagnostic diet must be administered for sufficient time to allow
remission to occur and b_~ clearly recognized, usually two to three weeks.
(4) Because the symptoms of food intolerance are often delayed, testing by
dietary reintroduction of foods which have been avoided must be restricted to
one new food per week, which is eaten daily during the challenge period.
(5) As the dose-response curve of food intolerance is bell-shaped, challenge
with Virget foods should be done using normal quantities, not excessive quantities.

Good grief what a crazy Bachelorette episode this was! I would never believe that "men" could act like drama little girls about the most ridiculous things!
On this weeks episode Ali had a one on one with Roberto and it was adorable. They flew in a helicopter to the top of a building in LA - during the flight Ali of course was hanging on to Roberto and he was holding her close, Ali said that was a manly thing and she liked it. When they got out of the helicopter they walked over to the edge of the building and there were harnessess and a tiny wire from that building to the other, which was where they were having dinner. She asked him as they were getting ready to start "Are you ready to fall for me?" his response "Are you ready to fall for me?" It was cute! Halfway through their balancing trek Roberto had her stop and turn and they had their 1st kiss on a high wire. It was AWESOME!
I like Roberto because he isn't afraid to show his emotions, be real, and when he taught Ali how to salsa and throw the knuckle ball, he didn't treat her like she was stupid. NOTE to MEN everywhere! Women want to learn new things!!!!! However . . . it is a HUGE turn off to be treated like we're stupid and be talked down to and Roberto does not do that. On their date he laid out a blanket on top of the building so they could cuddle. He really knows how to treat a lady.
Then there was the group date that was the beginning of the guys acting like little girls! Bare Naked Ladies have a new song that goes along with the process called Run Away, that they are all going through and so a group were involved in this video and those that did well would be featured in the video. The guys were given their scenes and the fur started to fly! Because this person was going to be kissing her, hugging her, in the tub with her, and when Kirk ended up in bed with her kissing and didn't stop when the director called CUT you would've thought Kirk was committing a mortal SIN! I have never in my life seen guys act so ridiculous, I mean getting mad and picking on Johnathon because he got embarassed about kissing Ali for the first time in public, in a video. And then Frank buddying up to Jesse because they are the two who had the first one on one dates and Frank thinks that they have some special bond. This group date was way worse than the calendar date, yet just as childish.
Poor Justin! I don't even know what to say other than these guys are so jealous of him they can't even see straight! Because he took the iniative and walked all the way from the guys' house to Ali's to have some one on one time with her, and the moment it came out at the rose ceremony the guys had a FIT like flippin two year olds whose mama's told them they weren't getting dessert. They need to grow up and the two instigators are CraigR and Ty! Craig want's to puff out his chest and say this is his job to see through liars . . . well, I have lawyers in my family and he's a piss poor one, you don't make a call without having all the facts and he doesn't! As for Ty, he's in medical sales . . . and he's just plain mean! They went off on some tangent that because Hunter had his one on one with Ali the day that Justin walked to her house that made her late for the date and Hunter didn't get his fair share of time therefore that is why he didn't get a rose and went home. UH WRONGO JERKO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You weren't on the date nor were you watching it! There was no chemistry between Hunter and Ali, so she sent him packing! And she wasn't late at all!
Ty and Craig were shut up when Ali gave Justin a rose and told him "thanks for showing me what you'll do for me."
My favorites right now are Roberto and Justin. I do like Chris L and Jesse. Chris L talked to Ali about his tattoo's WHICH ARE SMOKIN HOTT! Why he has them and what they mean.
Stay tuned till next week! :)
