Many homeowners have experienced the frustration of having no air flow from their home's vents. This can be caused by a variety of issues, ranging from something as simple as a dirty filter, to more complex issues that require professional HVAC technicians to troubleshoot and fix. In this article, we'll look at some of the common causes of no air flow from vents, as well as what you can do to get your HVAC system back up and running. If you're experiencing no air flow from your vents, it's important to first identify the cause of the issue before attempting any troubleshooting. Once you understand what is causing the issue, you'll be able to determine the best course of action for resolving it.
The Benefits of Regular MaintenanceRegular maintenance can help prevent air flow issues from occurring in the future.
An important part of HVAC system maintenance is changing the air filter regularly. This helps ensure that the air quality in your home remains healthy and that the HVAC system is running efficiently. Additionally, it’s important to have your HVAC system inspected annually by a professional. During an inspection, a technician will check all of the components of the system for potential problems and make any necessary repairs.
This can help prevent issues like no air flow from your vents. By taking the time to perform regular maintenance on your HVAC system, you can extend its lifespan and prevent major issues in the future. It’s important to be proactive when it comes to maintaining your HVAC system and keeping your home comfortable.
Common Causes of No Air Flow From VentsWhen you are not getting air flow from your vents, it is important to identify the cause and resolve it quickly. There are several common causes of no air flow from your vents, such as a blocked return air vent, a clogged air filter, or a failing compressor. A blocked return air vent can cause low air flow from your vents.
This type of blockage can be caused by dust, debris, or pet fur that has accumulated in the vent. To determine if this is the cause of your issue, check the return air vent for any obstructions and clean out any debris that may be blocking the vent. A clogged air filter can also reduce the amount of air flow coming from your vents. Air filters should be checked regularly and replaced when they become dirty or clogged.
If you haven't changed your air filter recently, this could be the cause of your problem. A failing compressor can also cause a decrease in air flow from your vents. The compressor is responsible for moving air through the ducts and out of the vents. If the compressor is not functioning properly, it can cause a decrease in air flow. You should have a professional inspect your compressor to determine if this is the cause of your problem.
Troubleshooting TipsWhen you’re experiencing no air flow from your vents, it’s important to troubleshoot the issue quickly.
Here are some tips to help you determine the cause of the issue and resolve it:Check for Blockages:The first step is to check for any blockages in the return air vent. If there is a blockage, it can restrict air flow and cause the system to shut down. Check the vent for any debris or obstructions and remove them if necessary.
Replace a Clogged Air Filter:A clogged air filter can also reduce air flow from the vents. Inspect your air filter and replace it if it appears clogged or dirty.
Make sure to use the correct filter for your system.
Inspect Ducts for Damage or Leaks:If your ductwork is damaged or leaking, it can prevent the system from delivering air efficiently. Inspect your ducts for any signs of damage or leaks, such as gaps, cracks, or holes. If you find any issues, repair them as soon as possible.
Check Thermostat Settings:If your thermostat is set incorrectly, it can prevent your system from delivering air properly. Double-check your thermostat settings to make sure they are correct.
Clean Coils and Fans:Dirty coils and fans can reduce air flow from the vents.
Clean these components on a regular basis to ensure that they are working efficiently. In conclusion, no air flow from your vents can be caused by several different issues. It’s important to identify the cause and resolve it quickly. Regular maintenance can help prevent this type of problem from occurring in the future. If you need assistance troubleshooting or maintaining your HVAC system, contact a professional HVAC technician.

Chlamydia is classified as a sexually transmitted disease. It is often thought to be rare, however 1 in 10 sexually active youths catch it in the UK alone. 2012 figures show an alarming 200,000 people have, at one point, tested positive for Chlamydia and possibly more disturbing is the fact that 64% of these were under 25.
Genital Herpes is a virulent, extremely common sexually transmitted disease. The reason for its notoriety is that it is becoming more and more prevalent among all socio economic groups around the world. This would indicate that people have not taken heed of the medical health warnings to use prophylactic measures whilst having sexual intercourse, especially with casual partners of either sex.
Gonorrhea is one of the most prevalent forms of sexually transmitted diseases in the UK. It is second only to Chlamydia and the number of cases seems to be on the increase. In 2012, there were 25,000 reported cases of Gonorrhea in England. The actual numbers are purported to be far higher, as not everyone presenting with the disease is aware that they even have it.
Levitra Orodispersible is a fast-acting variant that quickly dissolves on the tongue, resulting in faster drug absorption by the body. Once the tablet is placed on the tongue, it must be swallowed swiftly since the tablet quickly dissolves upon contact. Take note that Levitra Orodispersible must be ingested without the aid of any liquid and must be ingested instantly after it’s taken out of its sleeve.

When one door closes, another door opens.
–Alexander Graham Bell
You’ve probably encountered the above quote, you just didn’t know it was a sliding door.
I just saw a clever ad, in a home remodeling magazine, pitching sliding doors and room partitions as a way to make your existing space more functional. Of course, in a recession, the alternative — moving to bigger quarters — isn’t feasible for many people.
The company’s pitch: ‘if you can’t afford an addition, try division.’

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I had a dear friend once, a brown terrier; 'Skye' they called her. She was so fond of me that she never would sleep out of my stall; she made her bed under the manger, and there she had a litter of five as pretty little puppies as need be; none were drowned, for they were a valuable kind, and how pleased she was with them!
This was my inspiration:
Kitiara is from one of my favorite book series: Dragonlance. She's my second favorite character in the book, my first being Raistlin however I didnt want to cross-play
Riku (Kingdom hearts)
Impera (Made a newb killer, made the first three letters imp so when people had imp targeted it would attack me if there was no imp in the room)
Caladbolg, (Tidus' legendary in ffx) I used this name (ment to mispell it) to confuse people. because I found long names that are hard to spell are harder to target. I named my Falcon Calad to people would attack my falcon instead of attacking me with out putting the full name in.
And my secret alt that I eventually got drunk and told people about but hell you guys likely don't remember it anyways, When Achaea had that promotion that let you send the same amount of credits you bought to a new char (new alts worked) I made an ashtani Serpent. with a certain person. alt was so fun to play back in the day. Especially when no one knew it was me. (except a select few people I trusted which was mainly for serpent advice) but got his name based off a serpent god in some other countries religions.
If you're curious the reason I play Caladbolg over my other alts is because Draq wanted me to play his son. Also Caladbolg is the scottish version of the Excalibur from what i've read and actually makes me feel like my name is pretty cool for the classes I typically play. (Also the guy who used Caladbolg was named Fergus which I named my pegasus)
Yeah... the first time I ever encountered the name Skye was when I was a kid reading Black Beauty. But I loved the name and it's stuck with me since. Skye's kinda like a terrier anyway haha
But, like anytime I make a new character, I just start with the alphabet. I make one name per letter until I hit on something that says, "MAKE ME REAL." I think with Quisse, I was working from Z to A.
Yeah....Went with Taraza due to his suggestions.
For Szareine, I wanted a kind of a sort of uppity/princessy name for a girl who doesn't look like a princess (maybe just at first glance). I had a couple of inspirations, but ultimately I liked Czarina, just didn't want a name ending in '-a'.
I haven't written the background for Ognog yet but I envisage that he arrived by sea as a refugee orphan from a distant island where he escaped a brutal and feudalistic "shogun".
edit: oh god, just googled snapple and found out it's a drink I swear by all that is I didn't know
So I just figured I wanted a name that sounded like the sort of thing one of those henchmen who's name you only see in the credits at the end of the movie would have. Then, I decided it would be two-syllables....
Then I sat in front of my laptop in a library making funny faces, and occasional "MUU" BLAA" "ARR" ROOD" noises until I came up with "Multon" and realized that everyone was staring at me.
Thus Multon was born.

Amongst the headlines painting a dire picture of the current economy, the internet is awash with advice on how to save money. As well-intentioned as that advice may be – some of those tips and tricks are well… annoying.
In fact, according to research recently released by Finder, Kiwis aren’t too keen on being told how to save. Especially if that advice includes cutting out streaming services, working out at the gym, or getting pampered at the salon.
And it’s not surprising that people might not be too keen on curbing these costs. While our finances are being squeezed from every angle, it’s these little affordable luxuries that can go a long way to help us feel a little happier.
This ties into a curious phenomenon referred to as the ‘lipstick index’ (a term coined by Leonard Lauder from Estée Lauder in the early 2000s). He noticed that the sale of lipsticks or other “affordable luxuries” rose when the economy was going through a downturn. While it’s not a fool-proof theory, it does show that even when economic times are a little tough and we know we should be cutting back, spending on the things that make us happy remains.
Another reason Kiwis may resent being told to cut these costs from their budget is that they’re not necessarily doing badly financially. They want to get more ambitious and grow their wealth – rather than just stockpiling their savings. Being told to cut back on costs then feels more insulting than helpful.
Then there’s the fact that telling someone to cut out the $20/month for their Netflix, so that they might be better off financially in the long term, feels akin to the advice millennials received to stop buying smashed avo on toast so they could afford to buy a house. Why cut out something that makes you happy when the impact is so small, or the payoff’s just not worth it?
So, what’s the alternative? If not small savings, how can we do better? How can we learn to spend our money in a way that brings us joy AND allows us to get ahead?
It’s all about spending consciously
One of the things we do when we’re setting up a financial plan with an enable.me client, is we get them to identify 2 or 3 things that are important to them, things they don’t want to cut back on – even if they could. This could be an annual holiday, a monthly dinner out, or paying someone to mow the lawns so you don’t have to. We refer to these as ‘non-negotiables’ and this is what we’ll build their financial plan around.
Why? Because these luxuries aren’t necessarily the expenses that are holding them back from reaching their financial goals – rather it’s the unconscious spending we’re all guilty of that might be to blame. These are the things we’re spending money on that don’t make us happier – so by cutting these out we’re bolstering our ability to get ahead, without making ourselves miserable.
So, I can keep my Netflix AND get ahead?
Theoretically, yes! When it comes to finding where we can cut costs – there’s a pecking order we generally follow.
First up is your mortgage. This is a huge area of unconscious fritter and mortgages are often structured in a way where we end up paying more interest than we need to. And trust us – paying less interest to the bank definitely won’t make you any less happy!
We look for ways to re-structure your mortgage so you’re paying it off faster without losing flexibility – and which will free up funds later down the track to help you grow your wealth.
Next is your food. This is another area where we’re often spending a little more, a little more frequently than we realise. So, we look at how we can be more mindful in our spending and cut back on waste (both in terms of food and therefore money).
Then we look at utilities. There’s often little drive for us to change utility providers – that’s your internet, our power, our mobile phone plans – but it’s an area where we can easily save money without impacting our happiness. It’s not about cutting out these services completely, but rather finding a plan that still provides the services you require, just at a lower cost.
Only then do we look at your discretionary spending. This is an area where it can be easy to make cuts (and you’ll notice that the ‘savings’ advice you’re getting tends to be within this area).
However, we’d argue that spending in this area is most likely to be connected to happiness. And being able to spend on the things that make you happy helps make a financial plan sustainable. Spending twice on something, however, won’t necessarily make you twice as happy, so it’s about finding the point of diminishing returns and maybe asking yourself, does this purchase spark joy?
So, if indulging in a café coffee, getting a facial, or pumping iron in a room full of other sweaty people is what brings you joy (without impacting your financial well-being) then give yourself the permission to spend in these areas and build your financial plan around them, rather than cutting it them of your life completely.

This thesis proposes a kinematic based optimization of the characteristics of suspension and steering systems by focusing on their dynamics interaction. Two of the most important suspension mechanisms are modeled. A new approach based on combining transformation matrix and vector analysis is used resulting in less time and memory consumption during optimization. Modelling is verified by comparing the results with multi-body dynamics software. Further, the steering importance and its effects on the suspension are discussed, along with modelling and analysis of the rack and pinion steering mechanism. The optimization aims at the road holding and vehicle stability considering the effects of steering mechanism on the suspension. Therefore, the cost function is defined based on both steering and wheel travel. Moreover, the effect of wheel travel in different steering angles is shown to be important and has been considered in the cost function. In regards to some behaviors of the suspension, static constraints are defined and their importance is discussed. Lastly, case studies are presented to provide analysis and optimization of the suspension characteristics including steering error and track alterations. Optimization is performed to design suspensions for particular vehicle classification, such as, family cars and SUVs. The results show that optimization can be used to arrive at desired behaviors when the steering and suspension interaction is considered in the optimization.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson speaks Wednesday in Livonia at the Arab-American Civil Rights League banquet. / Niraj Warikoo/Detroit Free Press
Speaking to hundreds of people in Livonia on Wednesday night, the Rev. Jesse Jackson slammed discrimination against Arab Americans, urging the community to stand up and fight for their rights.
“We are the new America,” Jackson said at the second annual banquet of the Arab American Civil Rights League, a Canton-based group formed in 2011 by attorney Nabih Ayad. “Love yourself. Stand up and fight back.”
Saying that there should be “human rights for all human beings,” Jackson talked about what he called the “madness of racism” that has resulted in Arab Americans being placed on no-fly lists and having bank accounts closed.
The league filed a lawsuit earlier this year on behalf of Arab Americans who say their bank accounts were arbitrarily closed.
“We must protest that,” Jackson said. “You must not retreat. ... You are God’s people.”
Jackson has a long history of working with Arab Americans in metro Detroit and across the U.S. He campaigned for their votes in Michigan and other states during his run for president in 1984 and 1988.
One of Jackson’s senior campaign advisers was James Zogby, who today is president of the Arab-American Institute. Zogby received an award at the banquet Wednesday night for his efforts over the years to help Arab Americans in the political arena.
“When you’re not empowered, you can’t defend yourself,” Zogby said at the dinner. From foreign policy to civil rights issues, Arab Americans have “a voice America needs to hear,” he said.
Zogby praised state Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who is of Arab descent. Tlaib has been outspoken this year on the issue of sexual harassment and assault in the Arab-American community. She announced last week the formation of a coalition to help women who have been victimized.
“This is a star in our community,” Zogby said of Tlaib. “She needs our support. Rashida, I’m with you. And I know the community is with you.”
Also receiving an award at the banquet was Osama Siblani, publisher of the Arab-American News, the biggest Arab-American newspaper in Michigan.
Siblani said that over the years, some have accused him of being a bulldog, while others want him to be a lapdog and avoid sensitive issues.
“But you know what I am? I’m a watchdog,” Siblani told the crowd. “I will not hesitate” to go after anyone who harms the community.
“This paper will always be on your side,” Siblani said. “We’re here to tell the truth.”

SEATTLE - As the Yankees' goal of reaching the postseason has gone from difficult to improbable and closes in on mathematically impossible, they struggle for reasons to be optimistic.
After a 3-1 loss Friday night in which they managed just two hits, the Yankees were 8 1/2 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the wild-card standings (and also three games back of the Minnesota Twins).
And Toronto's win Saturday afternoon against Tampa Bay pulled the Blue Jays into a third-place tie with the Yankees, meaning a loss Saturday night to the Seattle Mariners would drop the Yankees to fourth in the AL East and the wild-card race.
Manager Joe Girardi continues to say he thinks his team can rally because of the talent on the roster.
"If you play this game long enough, been around the game, you have to have confidence every day," Girardi said. "You go through little things all the time. You might be in an 0-for-20 slump. You don't quit and go home. You just don't do it. So, I mean, you come prepared every day and do what you can do."
Time is running out, though. Friday's loss left the Yankees with a 17-21 record since they won eight straight after the All-Star break.
"The number of games doesn't count us out yet," Johnny Damon said. "We need to keep going out there and play hard. We're still wearing the Yankees uniform. That commands a lot of respect, and a certain type of attitude that we need to keep taking out there, and just go out there and play as hard as we can."
In two weeks, the Yankees have lost three games in the standings to the Red Sox, making up ground on just two days.
With their $210 million payroll, the Yankees went into last night's game 75-66, and they had earned that record. They were seventh in the league in runs scored (685) and ninth in ERA (4.35).
"It's just like I've been saying for the last however long," pitcher Andy Pettitte said. "I look at our team, I look at our lineup, and I feel like this team should win. I feel like this team should beat up on people. That's how I feel, and it's frustrating that we're not.
"As a group, I just think we need to be better."
Going into Saturday's games, if Boston finished 11-11 - and the Red Sox have been hot - the Yankees would have to go 19-2 to force a tie.
So Red Sox would have to falter badly, and the Yankees would essentially have to repeat what the Colorado Rockies did last year. The Rockies won 13 of their final 14 games to cap a rally from 8½ games out in the NL wild-card race.
But the Rockies were 8½ back with 45 games to go, not 21. And the Yankees haven't had a 13-1 stretch since May 2002.
"Colorado showed the world last year that it could be done," Alex Rodriguez said last week.
"'Why not us?' is always what I say. If we can just take it one game at a time and look up after 15 games and see where we stand. We cannot allow ourselves to think too much big picture. ¶
"Crazier things have happened."
Only Cy Young started his career with more consecutive winning seasons of 15 or more starts than Pettitte.
Now Pettitte's streak is in jeopardy.
In each of his previous 13 seasons, Petttitte was over .500. But Friday's hard-luck loss left Pettitte 13-12 this year.
"Same old story I guess," Pettitte said. "It's frustrating. Another loss. So there's not a whole lot you can say about it."
Friday's loss was hardly his fault, as Seattle's Brandon Morrow came within four outs of no-hitting the Yankees. In seven innings, Pettitte matched his season high with nine strikeouts, allowing three runs on seven hits.
"Pretty good night," Girardi said. "It's unfortunate that he threw a good game and we didn't get a win."
Pettitte has won just one of his past eight starts, going 1-5 with a 6.57 ERA. The Yankees have scored a total of 17 runs in his past six outings.
"I haven't won a game in, it feels like, a long time," Pettitte said. "And we need wins. Losses aren't helping right now."
Derek Jeter went into Saturday night's game at Safeco Field with 2,515 career hits - three behind Babe Ruth for second place in franchise history.
Lou Gehrig holds the franchise record with 2,721 hits.
Jeter last year passed Don Mattingly, Joe DiMaggio and Bernie Williams on the Yankees' hit list and this year went by Mickey Mantle.
Mike Mussina, scheduled to start Sunday against Seattle, has not lost to the Mariners since April 26, 2001. Since then, he is 8-0 with a 3.38 ERA in 10 starts and one relief appearance (his only career relief game).

The Federal Ministry of Science and Technology has drafted the National Hemp Policy and sent it to the federal cabinet for approval.
Under the policy the federal government would award licenses to 100 companies to grow Hemp so that the country could join the billion-rupee international Hemp market, Federal Science and Technology Minister Shibli Faraz told journalists on Tuesday.
Faraz said the government was receiving “countless” applications seeking permission for Hemp production.
“Hemp production, and its products especially on the medicine side and agricultural side, have an international market that will grow to Rs100 billion by 2026. We want to join it,” Faraz said.
The science and technology ministry wants to use Hemp to boost the national economy, SAMAA TV reported.
Faraz said although his ministry had been receiving several applications every day, it would allow only 100 companies to grow Hemp initially.
“We want to ensure that there is no misuse of this product. At the same time we want to facilitate the investors,” he said.
Under the National Policy, the government plans to set up a Hemp regulatory authority that will begin its one-window operations after the approval.
The Hemp fields will be required to have boundary walls and surveillance cameras, SAMAA TV said.
Industrial Hemp has several uses including as along with bamboo, hemp is among the fastest growing plants on Earth.
Earlier this year, scientists at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad managed to extract hemp thread from indigenous cannabis and worked on making sustainable jeans from the hemp fabric.
One of the products extracted from Hemp is CBD Oil. However, there are several misconception about the product among Desis. This video explain why it is not psychoactive.

Halsey Badlands on Colored LP + Download
First Pressing on Colored Vinyl
Colored Copies Are Limited / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available
19-year-old musical powerhouse and provocative pop ingénue Halsey captivates on first listen, displaying a song-craft and lyrical sensibility far beyond her years. With left-of-center dark-pop hooks, sultry vocals and unapologetic honesty, Halsey is an undeniable force to be reckoned with both on stage and in the studio.
Halsey is New Jersey native Ashley Frangipane. Halsey (an anagram of her first name) is taken from the “Halsey” stop on the L train to Brooklyn. It’s an appropriate representation of her alter-ego, having been born in New Jersey, but defined by the city of New York. She infuses her sugar-spun pop with a purposefully bitter aftertaste that is quite tongue-in-cheek.
On the debut single “Ghost,” from her debut studio album Badlands Halsey explores the tragic and laughable intimacy of human relationships in her signature take-no-prisoners approach. “I’m ecstatic to have found a home with Astralwerks because they embrace me for who I am, appreciate my honesty, and recognize that an artist needs creative freedom in order to thrive,” explains Halsey on her decision to sign to the label.
“It was love at first listen,” explains Astralwerks General Manager Glenn Mendlinger on signing Halsey to the label. “We heard “Ghost” and a few in-progress demo tracks on a Thursday afternoon and offered her a deal the very next day. It was clear from the outset that Halsey was a prodigious new talent we wanted to work with and I am thrilled to welcome her to the Astralwerks family.”

5 Reasons you should start journaling today!
Throughout history, many great people have had a consistent journaling practice. They swear by it because they've seen its effects. Today, we're going to break down the five most important benefits of journaling.
1) Increased mindfulness
Journaling is actually a very underrated form of mindfulness. How can that be? It's simple. Both mindfulness and journaling require you to be present in the moment. They also require you to be judgment-free and face hard truths. The only difference is that journaling is a bit more active because you are writing down your thoughts in the moment. This is an especially useful practice for those who can’t sit still for a stretch.
2) Self Awareness
Following mindfulness, the next step is self awareness. (Disclaimer: This is not a sequential list, all of these processes can happen parallelly as well)
Making a note of what you are feeling or thinking or experiencing everyday is a great way to look at yourself objectively. Once you put it down on paper, this will help you to put some distance between you and your perception of yourself. This is a great method to solve problems and make changes to your behaviour and lifestyle, free from what you normally assume to be true. Self-awareness can lead you to acknowledge and account for your strengths and weaknesses in an optimal way.
3) Emotional Regulation
A lot of us have a tough time figuring out exactly what we're feeling. And even when we figure out what we're feeling, we end up labelling it as good (happiness) or bad (anger). The truth is that all emotions are normal and valid. Emotional expression in a lot of other ways is also stifled based on the situation and the people you’re around. Journaling is your private space where you can be yourself and express your truest self. It is a very effective tool for this purpose and this inevitably helps with emotional regulation too. You can’t regulate yourself if you don’t know what you’re going through, so give your own personal therapist journal a shot.
4) Increased memory and decreased stress
6,200. That’s the number of thoughts an ordinary person gets in a day and it is a massive number. Trying to keep a track of each and every one of these thoughts is a sure fire way to lose your mind. What you can do instead is to note down what is important to you and ignore the rest. Have an important deadline one week from now that you can’t stop thinking about? Note it down! Get it out of your head and onto the paper. Trying to figure out Robert Downey Jr’s birthday but don’t really have the time for it? Give it a pass. You have the freedom to decide what to do with your thoughts.
5) Combats inertia and boosts creativity
We are all creative people by design but we have so few creatives (as a relative percentage of the population at least). Inertia and fear – these are the two main reasons. Being stuck, in a rut or otherwise, is a symptom of a huge chunk of the population. Journaling is a simple act of creating and that too privately, which gives you the freedom to express yourself without being subject to external scrutiny. It’s a great technique to work on your self-expressiveness and it’s the ultimate tool to unleash your creativity. A lot of great artists and writers swear by it, who knows maybe journaling will set you on the right path to becoming a famous writer one day!
So, what are you waiting for? Start your journaling journey today!

Kilimanjaro’s prime location near to the equator helps it be an excellent location to hike practically year-round. But despite having a temperate climate, there are many rainy seasons to avoid, mainly from March to May and November to December. During this time period, the trail conditions have a tendency to be slippery, but doable.
How to Prepare for Your Kilimanjaro Bid
Getting back in Shape: Let’s face it-it’s vital to be toned to Climbing Kilimanjaro. To prepare for the journey, spend at least a couple of months leading up to your adventure doing cardio training like walking and running hills and biking long distances on high resistance to condition the body for the journey ahead.
Altitude Acclimation: Ask your physician about any medications that may assist with your climb and increase simple altitude acclimatization on the mountain, fending off unwanted symptoms like nausea and headaches. Most tours build in extra days to acclimatize but if you’re new to altitude, selecting a longer climb will only boost your body’s ability to successfully adapt to high-altitude conditions.
What to Pack
The trail’s many ecological zones harbor variable climate, from tropical showers to piercing winds, making plenty of layers essential. Ahead of packing for your trip, understand that Tanzanian law dictates that your porter is merely permitted to carry 32-pounds of your gear-so, at most, a daypack and an overnight bag are recommended (if you’re on the lengthier trip and also have large hard-shell luggage, you can store it in your base town hotel).
Be sure to carry your trail essentials in your daypack, as your porter will haul your overnight bag to another campsite or mountain hut for you, which, again, must weigh significantly less than 32-pounds. As the weather in Kilimanjaro National Park can transform quickly, be certain to bring a waterproof pack or a pack with a raincover with built-in hydration technology for quick access on the colder, tougher climbs. Though your guide will probably brief you on all the clothing items you need to pack, final summit temperatures are recognized to dip below 13 degrees Fahrenheit, so warm layers are advised.
Other Top Sites
With an abundance of natural wonders, extending your trip in Kenya and Tanzania offers incredible safari and tropical island experiences. From witnessing the fantastic migration in the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem to island hopping through the region’s stunning archipelagos, here’s your guide for top-notch adventures in your community.

This has quickly become my favorite tank! - I've only taken it off to wash it (and work). It is SUPER soft and comfy, and fits very well (XL tank fits 14/16 gal, 38ddd bust). I've mainly worn it as lounge/pj tank, mostly because the side boob is on point ;) Can easily say this is my hubby's fav tank too.


Almost 200,000 vehicles fitted with potentially deadly air bags are still on Australian roads, more than a decade after Takata products were first recalled.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has again urged motorists to make sure they're not driving ticking time bombs.
New data shows 196,000 vehicles with defective Takata Alpha, Beta and Nadi airbags are still in use - 11 years after the first national recall notice was issued.
Australia has seen three deaths and three injuries so far from bags misfiring, sending metal fragments flying through vehicle cabins.

Globally, Takata airbags have been linked to 29 deaths and more than 320 serious injuries.
The Nadi airbags are of particular concern, with the ACCC warning they're so dangerous, affected vehicles should not be driven at all until parts are replaced.
Two of Australia's deaths and two of its injuries were caused by Nadi airbags.
The Takata airbag recall is the largest in global automotive history. Millions of cars have been affected in Australia, and the ACCC says it's imperative to get the last of the dangerous ones fixed.
"Even during this pandemic, replacing faulty airbags is an essential and potentially life-saving task, especially as vehicles may be being used by essential workers and care-givers," ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard said on Tuesday.

Damien: Omen II (1978)
An excellent sequel and Jonathan Scott-Taylor was the best Damien
I have to say that as fan of horror movies (whether they be new or old), I loved this sequel. I remember watching they original and being very intrigued.
When I recently heard about the sequel, though it's very old, I jumped on the opportunity to watch this. Now, I'm only fourteen, but I just loved this movie (and Jonathan Scott-Taylor). This is definitely a movie that I'm going to record on video to watch again, and again.
On to the movie itself. It was very well acted and had good graphics for it's time. People rag on some of the death scenes, but I have to say that I was impressed with what they had. Maybe Joanne's death was a little silly, but I liked that you could even have a little bit of a laugh.
I thought all of the characters were well acted, and that Jonathan Scott-Taylor was, in my opinion and a decent amount of others, the best Damien to hit the screen. With his eyes and black hair, he really set the feel of being the Antichrist. He was really, really good. The thing that I loved was how Jon made you almost feel bad for Damien. Like, when he killed Mark and then let out a strangled yell. There were even tears. It was especially heart-wrenching that Damien didn't even know he was the Antichrist until half-way through the movie. It was so sad when he screamed at the top of his lungs why it had to be him that was born of the devil and a jackal.
Overall, it was a strong movie and I highly recommend it to people who enjoyed the first film, have an open mind and aren't to hard on things like this. Afterall people, it's just a movie. It's mean't to be fun and enjoyable. Just relax and be a little less "RAWR!", 'kay? ^ ^
Chicken Chaser? Do You Chase Chickens?
I love Fable! It's one of the better RPG's out there. I also recommend just playing the Lost Chapters and skipping the original game all together. That's what I did.
A really cool thing about this game is that you have the freedom to roam lands and interact with the locals and traders. Buying property and marrying chicks (or guys) are just some of the side things you can do.
Overall, it has really good graphics and sound affects. Great realism as well. It rocks that you be good or evil. I also enjoy the expressions.
This game gets a 10/10 for me! Enjoy your game play!
Who will you be?
Seed of Chucky (2004)
It's A Hobby Really, It Helps Us Relax...
I think any Chucky fan will be pleased, especially if you liked Bride of Chucky. If you don't have the Chuck spirit then chances are slim that you'd be interested.
Maybe it's not an Oscar worthy film but it has a likable substance to it. It makes you laugh and if your gore fan you won't be let down. I particularly fell in love with Glen or Glenda, Chucky and Tiffany's gender confused and kind hearted offspring. The bickering over 'its' sex was hilarious.
I also liked Jennifer Tilly, considering she does Tiffany's voice and plays herself in this movie. To see Jennifer getting asked for an autograph by a doll with her voice was priceless. Speaking of Tiffany, she still has the classic 'my mother always said' lines.
The gore was there but not to over the top. Chucky is still in the killing craze (even after making a promise with Tiff to stop) while Glen/Glenda and Tiffany aren't going to have any of it. Tiffany herself even gets help by consulting a book and calling a hot line when things get hard to contain (even if she kills Redman in the end). Glen/Glenda also have its moment of killing by setting fire to Jennifer's assistant Joan.
I have to say that before you put this movie down, I say go see it first and give it chance. You might not be disappointed.
10/10 for sure!

Good for Philly Mag for not backing down to Mayor Nuttjob.
He's just as racist as anyone else in that city. That's one of the
reasons we moved out years ago.
The full statement from Philadelphia Magazine’s editor Tom McGrath about Mayor Nutter’s letter to the PHRC reads:
I applaud the mayor for asking for an inquiry into the state of racial issues in Philadelphia. The need to have a deeper discussion about race in Philadelphia is exactly why we ran our story in the first place.
Like any reader, the mayor is entitled to think and say what he wants about the story. That said, his sophomoric statements about the magazine and mischaracterization of the piece make me wonder if he’s more interested in scoring political points than having a serious conversation about the issues. Furthermore, his call for a “rebuke” of the magazine by the PHRC is rich with irony. This is the same mayor who just yesterday was shouted down by an unruly mob in City Council; now he himself wants shut down conversation about an important issue in our city. In short, the mayor loves the First Amendment–as long as he and the government can control what gets said.
My sister went to Penn....her Roommate was tied up and "r@ped" her Sophomore year in her dorm room..by a group of young people that broke into the dorm during Thanksgiving break. Look at most of the college dorms..LaSalle, Penn, Beaver err..now Arcadia, Drexel, Widner, Penn State, Villanova...et al they are like prison or castle ramparts. little itty bitty windows on the first three floors... Spiked Fences..some have razor wire...it's not for decoration.
i find myself unable to have racial discussions anymore because as soon as i try i immediately turn into the racist i am immediately called for daring being white and thinking i have the right to do anything but listen to what THOSE PEOPLE have to say whats racist and what isnt.
and i fucking hate the guilty whiteys who cry racism even before the typicals do.
racial issues in ANY CITY in this country will only get worse because we are always going to have the black people who run the governments of these cities somehow still crying racism. it doesnt matter for shit that THEY are running the cities, they will ALWAYS be victims of racism anytime somebody disagrees with them, or opens their mouth about that 'myth' called reverse racism, which we all know could never exist in this country.
you see this topic comes up and i go on a blabbering rant about it screaming at my screen
Gotta love the rooskies... they haven't been white guilted into submission, and they'll tell that shit like it is...
On a warm Sunday in October, I buttonhole a woman I’ll call Anna, a tall, slim, dark-haired beauty from Moscow getting out of her BMW on an alley just south of Girard College. Anna goes to a local law school, works downtown at a law firm, and proceeds to let me have it when we start talking about race in her neighborhood.
“I’ve been here for two years, I’m almost done,” she says. “Blacks use skin color as an excuse. Discrimination is an excuse, instead of moving forward. … It’s a shame—you pay taxes, they’re not doing anything except sitting on porches smoking pot … Why do you support them when they won’t work, just make babies and smoking pot?
the best part of the article is that it is true and not only do we know it, but they do too and thats the problem.
WE are not qualified to comment on what they do or the probs they have cause they are our fault
and the God damn russians are great when you get into a 'not safe for the paper' discussion about race
The guilt-burdened liberal defended the blacks by citing how they ONLY have an unemployment rate of 14% so the vast majority of they are working. Of course, he cites the standard unemployment numbers for people looking for work. The actual number of unemployed blacks in Philadelphia is close to 30-35% if you factor the entire population.
The guilt-burdened white liberal should drive through these neighborhoods and see who is doing the lounging and the pot smoking.
After Hurricane Isaac I had to do some work in a low-income housing area. Literally dozens of dozens of full grown adult black males were hanging out and griping about how they wanted power back and kept hassling me about when they'd get power back. I don't work on power utilities. I know fuck all when it'd get restored. Almost every person who lived in that housing complex had to have been there. They weren't cleaning up storm debris. They weren't trying to hustle up some work. They were just lounging and waiting for everything to start working again. And when they would leave? It'd be to go wait in line for gasoline so they could cruise around and go visit friends.
The entire time I was working I was getting pissed off because I could feel hundreds of eyes trying to stare me down. Anytime I looked over in the direction of anyone they'd be staring at me with a pissed off look on their face. As soon as I was done I got the hell out of there and hoped I'd not have to go back till after everyone had dispersed.
The only thing I hated about the article was what a PC disgrace it ultimately wound up being.
Two out of the four pages were praising this lunatic White woman who sent her little girl to a 70+ percent black local school.
What a fuckin' dummy.
Or the White person who got his head smashed into a brick wall and his wallet stole.
"They were black, not like that matters."
What? Like that is a fuckin' common occurrence with this guy? Like the Whites do that to him?
Once again Mayor Nutjob can't keep his fucking mouth shut:
In a scathing letter, Mayor Nutter last week requested that the Philadelphia Human Relations Commission consider whether the magazine and Huber deserved to be rebuked for the article.
Nutter said Huber ignored positive anecdotes "to feed his own misguided perception" that African Americans are "lazy, shiftless, irresponsible, and largely criminal."

Over the past few days, I have followed Bill Griffeth's story as he tells about his own Y-DNA test results and how they affected him. After taking a Y-DNA test at the request of his cousin, he received an email in October of 2012 which broke the news harshly: "Your father was not Uncle Charles."
Bill could not believe that his highly moral mother could have had an affair. He refused to believe the test results and decided to take another test. He was hoping the test company had made a mistake.
The Stranger in My Genes: A Memoir, which was released last month, is a wonderfully told tale of how one man attempted to reconcile the startling discovery that the father who raised him was not his biological father. He had spent years researching his Griffeth family and even wrote a book about them: By Faith Alone: One Family's Epic Journey Through 400 Years of American Protestantism. Bill shares of conflicting emotions as he decided whether or not to share this information with others. His biggest question: should he ask his mother, who was in her 90s, about his birth or would it hurt her too much after keeping the secret all these years?
I've also recently read three other books that I believe would interest most genealogists:
I Shall Be Near To You by Erin Lindsay McCabe is the fictional tale of Rosetta whose young husband decided to fight in the Civil War. Not wanting to be left behind, Rosetta disguised herself as a man and signed up to fight by his side. Learning about the daily life of these soldiers and how they suffered and died was heartbreaking, but also insightful as I research my own Civil War ancestors.
Maude, written by Donna Foley Mabry, tells the life story of Donna's grandmother, Maude. Maude first married when she was "barely over fourteen years old" in 1906 and follows her throughout her lifetime. The reader follows Maude through events like the 1918 flu epidemic, the Great Depression, and both world wars. This wonderfully told story gives insight into what it was like to live through each of these events, and Maude's story was absolutely fascinating.


As every year, the daylight saving time change generates a lot of discussion. While this change has a positive impact on our energy consumption, it's not without consequences on our mood and biological clock.
Light Therapy: An Effective Remedy for Daylight Saving Time Change
The transition to daylight saving time marks the beginning of shorter days for many, where the lack of light starts to be felt. It's dark on the way to work, and by the time we return, it's already night. This reduced exposure to sunlight isn't ideal for metabolism, and our mood is often affected.
This time change also impacts our biological rhythms. After setting our clocks back an hour, we need to rebalance our biological clock as well. While some individuals might not necessarily feel this change, others will experience its negative effects on their sleep and energy levels.
It's important to know that light plays a crucial role in regulating biological rhythms. When transitioning to daylight saving time, utilizing light therapy helps compensate for the lack of light and restores the essential sleep/wake cycle that contributes to our overall well-being.

About Us / 21 Acres Farm Market History: Featuring sustainable local, farm product, the 21 Acres Farm Market is open year-round giving shoppers affordable options for fresh produce and value-added products and the opportunity to support local farmers. Hours vary per season. Weekly fresh sheets are available, via e-mail, which feature, not only available produce in season, but dairy, breads and value-added products sourced from local farmers. “Food to go” from the 21 Acres Kitchen is also available each day in the Market. Items change daily and could include soups, salads, sandwiches, main dishes and more. In addition to fresh product, the 21 Acres Market also sells flour, eggs, cheeses, dried beans, hummus and other staples. A sourcing plan has been developed that provides products that the local community needs and that farmers can provide in reliable quantities. The fact that the 21 Acres Market started small, means that we can provide special items grown by area farmers who are not producing large volumes and wholesaling regularly to other much bigger stores. 21 Acres is committed to paying farmers fair prices and being flexible in our needs so we can take advantage of working with producers who are growing the most beautiful and flavorful farm product available. This will likely mean that it will make sense for us to source things to offer customers that other grocers cannot. Each week will showcase some very special things.

Go to www.peavey.com/asstes/literature/specs/005584220_3.pdf. Apparently the 410 TVX can be used in 4ohm or ohm configurations just don't drop below 4 ohms and make sure your amp has the minimum required impedence. Hope this helps.

Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
I would assume that the 18" was a 4 ohm if the two 10" were 8 each. Though it might work in a pinch, the crossover point would be different and the balance between the speakers would probably be different as well. It's suggest calling Peasvey Customer Service to get the best answer. Here is their link- Peavey com
you could add 3 more 8 ohm speakers in series / parallel wiring and keep an 8 ohm load to the amp, or
2x 4 ohm speakers in series, or
2x 16 ohm speakers in parallel
What kind of problem are you having with this, I assume impedance matching. 2 speakers in parallel cut impedance in half. ex. 2 x 8ohm in parallel equal 4 ohm. IF the same speakers are in series, they double impedance, ex. 2 x 8ohm in series equal 16 ohm. Now matching 2sp and 2 sp, both pairs SHOULD be wired the same and the removal of 2 (dep on config) usually would be treated as 1 ?ohm circuit that equal the other ?ohm circuit. AFTER the removal of 1 leg, the impedance could double or half, depending on configuration.
The Ohms for individual speakers is measuring the impedence of that speaker and NOT the pure resistance. Speakers are usually 4hom or 8 ohm impedence, but you can get outside those figures occassionally. When you talk of "Cab" are you talking of a "Speaker Cabinet"? What is it you're trying to achieve? Connecting the wrong impedence speaker to a device can do damage to that device or sometimes even to the speaker itself. May I suggest you say something like "I want to connect the speakers from my [Brand Name and Model] stereo sytem to my [Brand Name and Model] Ipod thingy." If this is the case, then you might do some damage to your equipment.
Those specs would be right - I have this same board but the amp was fried by a previous owner. I pulled the amp board out and tossed it and use the mixer now to drive an external amp. Great board.
This amp is rated at 1200W "peak", bridged into an 8ohm load. That would equate to about 900W RMS bridged into 8ohm or 450 per side into 4ohm loads per side.
You can't daisy chain all 4 speakers....impedance would be too low. You can run two of your 8ohm speakers per side - that results in a 4ohm load per side for the amp. That would give you amp delivery of 450W per side. Your speakers are rated to handle more than that so you're fine.
For the record.....you could run one speaker per side no problem....just lower power output.
As long as the impedance of the speakers do NOT go below the rating of the amp you can connect them without worry Your amp would drive two 8 ohm speakers. Using the 16 ohm speaker it will only draw half the current and only accept half the power that one of the 8 ohm outputs can deliver.
The second jack which is present on MOST speakers is for daisy-chaining a second speaker. One has to make sure to NOT go below the minimum impedance allowed by your amplifier. Often this minimum is 4 ohms which allows TWO 8 ohm speakers to be connected to the 4 ohm output.
Peavey XR 8600?? Well it's 600w per ch. at 4 ohms/per side. So, whichever mode you use (Main, or Main/Monitor) you are best to have a 4 ohm total load for each channel of amplification. Ex.--Mains only, one 4ohm speaker per channel will give you 600W per side. Or two 8ohm speakers per channel in parallel, which makes a 4 ohm total load.
Main/Monitor mode---treat it the same way. one 4ohm, or two 8 ohms parallel. per channel.
Your best situation is to have a 4 ohm total load for each channel of amplification to get your 600W.
Weather of not you can use this speaker as an extension cab depends on a number of things. First, what amp are you planning you use for it? What is the minimum resistance for this amp (2ohm or 4 ohm probably). Second, what is the primary cab you are using ans what is the resistance on that? (2ohm, 4ohm or 8ohm).
Is there just one speaker in you proposed extension cab? The goal is to have all the speakers wired in parallel without lowering the resistance to a point that will damage the head. So if your amps minimum resistance is 4ohm then your cabs will have to both be 8ohm, running in parallel the overall resistance will be 4ohm.


Lined along my driveway are large pots with tiny little trees in them. We're growing them in the hope that they can become strong trees planted where trees are needed.
I know one place that needs trees, and I know a group working to plant them. A billion of them. Would you like to help?
The Atlantic Forest is one of the largest tropical rain forests in the world. However, after decades of clear cutting, expansion, development, and agriculture only seven percent of the original forest remains.
Why are tropical rain forests important to the earth and to people?
Forests regulate the atmosphere and stabilize global climate. They also store carbon dioxide and release oxygen. One billion people depend directly on the rain forest. In addition to the lifegiving attributes for the entire world, such as water, medicine, and oxygen, rain forests also provide livelihoods and even hydro energy.
It's also home to one of the most diverse collections of plant and animal species.: 23 species of primates, 1,000 species of birds, and over 20,000 species of plants.
What is being done to preserve and restore this essential tropical rain forest?
The Nature Conservancy launched Plant A Billion, which intends to, with partners, plant one billion trees and restore 2.5 million acres of the forest. They hope to accomplish this within seven years.
How will this help?
The Nature Conservancy says that once they've planted the new trees and restored the forest, it should remove 10 million tons of carbon dioxide from the air every year, which is the equivalent of taking two million cars off the road.
They also plan to protect 10 watersheds, provide hydro power to 70 million people, create 20,000 direct jobs and 70,000 indirect jobs.
What can you do?
I joined this initiative by starting a campaign. I hope you'll join in! My goal is $250 for 250 trees. The money goes directly to the Plant a Billion and Nature Conservancy, but we can track it if you click through the widget here:

Oh yes, it’s HOT in Florida right now. Most days you could probably fry that proverbial egg on our sun-baked sidewalks. But that’s not the kind of sizzle I’m talking about. It’s the smokin’ hot lineup of events planned for Independence Day that I’m talkin’ about!
A weekend of Fourth Of July festivities kicks off with “Powerboats By The Bay,” a collection of souped-up racing boats on display at downtown’s Centennial Park on July 3rd & 4th, followed by a spectacular fireworks show over Sarasota Bay at 9 p.m. on the 4th. Although the fireworks can be seen from almost anywhere in the downtown area, in-the-know Sarasotans head for the Bayfront near Island Park, where the the dazzling pyrotechnics create mirror images in the calm waters of the Bay.
Sarasota’s Independence Day celebration continues with the Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix Boat Race on Sunday, July 5th. Some of these offshore racing boats reach speeds of over 100 mph on the straight-aways of this six and a half mile long course off Lido Key Beach. During the two hour-long heats (11:00 a.m. and 1 p.m.) helicopters swoop overhead, spotting for marine life and keeping an eye on the boats and drivers, in case an emergency requires medical assistance. Many of the 50,000 spectators come dressed in swimsuits and simply wade into the water – by far the best way to both escape the heat and get a front row seat. But plan to come early, because many die-hard fans arrive as early as 5 a.m. to get good parking spots and stake out the prime viewing spots on the beach.
The weekend of events culminates with the Race Awards Ceremony at the Hyatt Sarasota Ballroom, from 5-6:30 p.m that same evening, where locals and visitors can hobnob with the winning race teams. Best part of this sizzling summer celebration? Everything is free!
4 thoughts on “Sarasota’s Sizzlin’ Fourth Of July”
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to mention that I have really enjoyed surfing around your weblog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I’m hoping you write once more very soon!
I am disabled but I would like to stay at a hotel with a great view of the freworks? Anywhere local is fine…thanks a bunch! Josie
Hi Josie: Sorry, but I’m not a travel agent or booking service, and it’s been a while since I was in Sarasota, so I really can’t recommend anything, as I don;t know if you information would be accurate. Might try the local Chamber of Commerce.

Mercyhurst Prep girls tennis team advances in PIAA tourney
Two players on Mercyhurst Prep's girls tennis team with no ties to the program's 2012 and 2013 state titles are reasons why the Lakers are contending for a third straight crown.
One of them is Anna Bruns, a German exchange student who was unaware of the Lakers' recent success when she arrived at the school from her home outside Frankfurt.
Bruns won the deciding match during Tuesday's PIAA Class AA first-round dual at Pennbriar Athletic Club. The sophomore beat Greensburg Central Catholic's Kate Bryan 6-1, 6-3 in No. 3 singles.
Bruns' straight-sets victory, combined with the District 10 champions' earlier sweep of the doubles matches, assured them of their eventual 3-2 win and another trip to the Hershey Racquet Club for the remaining rounds of state play.
"This was the greatest experience I've ever had," Bruns said about Tuesday's dual. "I love helping this team, and I'm so glad I'm here."
Bruns can further benefit the 18-1 Lakers this Friday at 2 p.m. That's when they're scheduled to meet District 3 first seed Wyomissing in the Class AA quarterfinals.
The Spartans (17-1) advanced with a 3-0 shutout of District 4 second seed Bloomsburg at Hershey.
"I can tell you I don't think there's too many teams happy that we're coming back," Mercyhurst coach Kelly Maslar said, "but for right now, we're just going to enjoy this moment."
Greensburg, coached by Gannon University graduate Tony Splendore, was eliminated at 14-3. The Centurions were seeded third out of District 7.
Bryan and Bruns were projected to determine Tuesday's swing match, and that's exactly what happened.
Bruns' victory followed the Lakers' dominance in doubles. Their 2-0 lead was accomplished with the aid of Francesca Kern, the other newcomer in Mercyhurst's starting lineup.
Maslar paired Kern, a freshman, and junior Audrey Bell in No. 2 doubles. They not only swept Greensburg's Lexi Vittone and Keeley Maloney, but did so 6-0, 6-0.
"I've never really been part of a team before," Kern said about this season, "so it's been a great experience cheering on my teammates and having them cheer on me. It's a lot of fun."
Mercyhurst's No. 1 doubles duo of Taylor Levinson and Nicole Freeman were first off Pennbriar's courts with their 6-3, 6-0 win over Greensburg's Katie Fives and Marlayna Verenna. Their half of the Lakers' doubles sweep, along with the win by Bruns, made moot the singles victories by the Centurions' Alyvia and Michaela Kluska.
The talented sisters, who played their way into the WPIAL Class AA singles final, respectively defeated Mercyhurst's Lauren Petrella and Caitlyn Schultz.
MIKE COPPER can be reached at 870-1614 or by e-mail.
First-round results from the PIAA girls team tennis tournament. The winners advanced to the quarterfinals, scheduled Friday at the Hershey Racquet Club: CLASS AA At Pennbriar Athletic Club MERCYHURST PREP -- 3 GREENSBURG CENTRAL CATHOLIC -- 2 Singles: Alyvia Kluska (GCC) def. Lauren Petrella 6-1, 3-6, 6-2; Michaela Kluska (GCC) def. Caitlyn Schultz 6-0, 6-3; Anna Bruns (MP) def. Kate Bryan 6-1, 6-3. Doubles: Taylor Levinson-Nicole Freeman (MP) def.

And Here we go....year 12
So I have a blank slate classroom to start the 2016-2017 school year...
My goal and theme for this school year is SIMPLIFY.
Simplify the room, my way of delivery and no rewards or prizes. We will just teach and learn art.
I will let you know how it works out. I am using the simplify theme at home as well and it really seems to be working well. I feel much more relaxed.
Hopefully I can carry this over into my classroom.
And then this happened...I put something on the table and it just started to fall over in slow motion...The leg just split off. Sad face...The kids are coming in a week I hope the carpentry department can make me a new leg....soon!
I have had my personal drafting in the room for 5 years now. With the simplify goal I am
taking out the table and putting it in my studio at home. I had to rent a U-Haul trailer but it is home now. My hubby gave this table to me in 2002 and I just love it.
It barely fits but I love having it in there. Now if I just clean up the studio
it will be great.
