Then came the desire for ease of use. People wanted to make them able to be opened with less fuss. This is the place that garage door openers started. They used to simply lift up on a slide. After that came the rollers. Finally the garage door of today arrived with the electric opener. This allowed ease of use and a fashionable look to the home. Over the years things have changed. The original style of garage door openers have been mostly the same though since the beginning of the garage door. Safety issues have been the main consideration of modern garage doors. Their ability to be safe and still remain useful is very important.
With the introduction of new technology and an increase in the sophistication of crime modern doors have to be built after taking all these factors into consideration in order to stay up to date with the changes in the modern world. When installing them you have to ensure that the safety of the car and the driver are fully taken into consideration. Besides these factors you must also be able to come up with designs of them that are easy to operate and also efficient enough to give the user good value on the investment.
Well maybe its time to get your wife off your back and get it cleared out. Then earn some brownie points by fitting some modern garage flooring. With todays modern materials you can cover up that old concrete floor very inexpensively to give an almost showroom finish. Most garage floors will be ready to take on many types of flooring with the minimum of preparation. Unless you have a very uneven surface a quick sweep out maybe fill in any cracks and you should be good to go. Anything worse such as large holes or lumps should be dealt with as these will affect the finished look of any new flooring put on top. There is whole range of interlocking garage floor tile available in a wide choice of colors. These are constructed from PVC and are fitted in a matter of hours and dont involve any adhesives. This is a safe non slip surface that is resistant to oil petrol and many other chemicals. Low maintenance very durable and comfortable underfoot.
The door to your garage works simply and has only two functions: to open and close. But one day it might stop out of the blue. The problems people often encounter with their garage doors are also very simple in nature. Fortunately most problems with these doors can be fixed without the help of a professional. Do-It-Yourself Tips for Garage Door Repair Quick Fix: If the door isnt opening or closing as usual then it is time for some maintenance. Examine the rollers and tracks looking for loose spots and signs of damage. If you havent cleaned the door in a long time and they look dusty take some grease and brush the tracks along with a lubricant. This should get your door back up and running. If this doesnt fix the problem contact a door installer.
A carriage style door with its graceful curves looks terrific on a home with curved windows. A Spanish villa style house will look fabulous with a new rustic looking garage door! A modern contemporary styled home begs for a sleek look incorporating more glass or wide horizontal panels as opposed to boxier square panels. Garage doors come in a plethora of styles; Colonial Tudor Mediterranean Country Spanish and many others.

Paul McCartney, best known for his work as part of The Beatles, has written a huge array of songs in different genres throughout his career. While he is best known as a bass player, over the years Macca has dabbled in the guitar too.
There have been plenty of occasions where he has grabbed his trusty six-string on stage and in the studio and in this lesson we’re going to check out four chords from some of his solo work.
In the intro to the song Junk, we have this variation on a C#7 chord. This is a tricky voicing to play but in the context of the song is part of a descending chromatic bass line.
McCartney is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist so it wouldn’t be surprising to discover that this voicing may have come about from playing a piano style progression on guitar.
The root note in this chord is actually on the B string so if you’re transposing this as a dominant 7 voicing, that is your target note.
In the Wings song Band On The Run, this Fmaj7/C chord makes an appearance. This is a regular F maj7 chord with a C added in the bass.
In the verse of this song, this chord is alternated with the C chord as part of the main strumming rhythm. In this use case, it makes it an easy chord change to make because the chords have similar shapes.
During the intro of Ebony And Ivory this Bm/A chord makes an appearance. The original is played with a capo on the 2nd fret.
This chord is based off a standard 5 string B Minor barre, but you will release the index finger on the A string and play that open.
The A note is the b7 of the B Minor scale, so this chord can also function as a Min7 chord.
This E7 chord from the song Every Night is a very interesting voicing. This one can be tricky to play at first. You may also recognise the sound of this chord from the intro of the Beatles track I Saw Her Standing There.
Think of this chord in two parts, the first part is an E5 power chord where you will play the open Low E and the 2nd fret on the A and D with your index finger barring both.
The other part is in the shape of a D7 chord. You’ll be using your remaining three fingers to play this chord shape on the 3rd and 4th frets.

YW™ - Your Water is a speculative industrial design project that aims to radically challenge the way the public perceives, thinks of and gets involved in the increasing water scarcity in the age of the Anthropocene. The project investigates the potential environmental and socio-economical benefits of recycling all household wastewater locally and deliberately through a visible process within every urban household.
YW™ - Your Water is a modular household size wastewater treatment system - it recycles wastewater at home. YW™ turns black and grey water into clean drinking water. It also extracts valuable secondary by-products such as energy and nutrients that would be otherwise lost. Save energy by powering YW™ with the additional thermal energy produced from recycled wastewater.
With YW™ you will recycle up to 90% of household wastewater, including the wastewater from your washing machine, dishwasher, shower, tap and toilet - all through one in-house equipment.
With YW™ no wastewater leaves your house, eliminating the environmental risks of secondary pollution and reducing the carbon footprint that is common in currently conventional wastewater treatment plants.
YW™ is the essential water management tool in the age of the Anthropocene, ensuring maximum water efficiency and reuse that is a crucial element towards sustainability in growing urban environments from developed to third world countries.
YW™ is a modular household appliance, allowing our customers to choose the right size and functionality matching the particular household type and daily water usage by its residents.
YW™ is the new generation technology making the toilet-to-tap water cycle the new standard towards clean environment and sustainable use of natural resources. With YW™ water recycling becomes a visible and conscious process of every household across the world.
On average the water consumption in Europe is 144 liters per person per household everyday. With a population of 700 million that equals 100.8 million cubic liters. YW™ will reduce it by 90 percent.
YW™ saves lives. Millions of lives. Almost 80% of diseases in developing countries are connected to water causing more than 3 million early deaths. Every 17 seconds there is a child dying from diarrhoea.


"It wasn't a big decision. I think Matt (Hasselbeck) deserves the start," Munchak said. "If it means anything, it's his hometown and where he's played. He was a starter last year, so I think he should be the first one out of the box with the ball in his hand."

Queensland turns up the heat in NRL grand final bid
PREMIER Annastacia Palaszczuk has turned up the heat on the NRL to deliver Queensland a grand final and demanded a State of Origin game at Suncorp Stadium this year.
Palaszczuk on Friday green-light the NRL's season resumption on May 28 by opening Queensland's borders for teams to travel in and out of the state and local clubs to train at home.
But the Premier's decision did not come without a request as Palaszczuk ramped up Queensland's bid to poach the 2020 NRL grand final from Sydney.

The location of this year's grand final has come under scrutiny given ANZ Stadium, Allianz Stadium and the SCG are scheduled to be unavailable, opening the door for Queensland to launch a fresh bid for the decider.
In a conversation with ARL Commission chairman Peter V'landys, Palaszczuk backed Queensland's case for the grand final.
The Premier also requested at least one Origin game be held at Suncorp Stadium to honour the 40th anniversary since Arthur Beetson led the Maroons on to Lang Park in 1980.
"I said I was as keen as anyone else to see the NRL return and I meant it," Palaszczuk said.
"I always say, we work best when we work together.
"First round games will be played in Queensland and of course I put in a bid for a local grand final and we all look forward to hosting the State of Origin."
Just last month, Palaszczuk dropped a bombshell when she suggested Queensland was unlikely to host an Origin game this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
That sparked speculation New South Wales would receive all three games for the first time in State of Origin's 40-year history in what shaped as a crushing blow for Queensland rugby league fans.
But Palaszczuk made it clear in talks with V'landys that Queensland must host at least one Origin game.
V'landys will have no problem with that request, ensuring Queensland fans can celebrate the legacy of Beetson with a 40th birthday bash at Suncorp Stadium in November.
Queensland Rugby League chairman Bruce Hatcher welcomed the prospect of a Beetson Origin celebration at Suncorp.
"Thankfully we will still be playing Origin in November," he said.
"Given Queensland is pretty well advanced on NSW in terms of control of the virus I don't see any reason why we can't have one game up here.
"The Queensland Government was saying they weren't in a position to say whether we could play here or not. Now it seems to be trending the right way I can't see any reason why we can't.
"It (Suncorp) is the spiritual home of Origin and we can't forget Artie Beetson's legacy in all of this.
"We need an Origin game in Queensland to honour the great Artie Beetson."

Travelling back to my home town in Country Victoria in Jan 2020, I'm sure I'd never seen the place so dry. The drought and searing heat had left few blades of grass on Mum's normally green lawn.
Weeks earlier, on the first hot and windy day of the Sydney summer, I'd ran from the house with our darling Daisy dog as smoke billowed from a bush fire only a few hundred meters away (fortunately the wonderful and brave fire fighters and aircrew were able to get the fire under control quickly).
Then on a day where the mercury tipped 47 degrees, I realised that my childrens' childhood would not be like the childhood I remembered. The 1980's were hot and dry, but not like this! And then came the revelation, I was part of the problem.
Over the past 12 months I'd been trying to reduce my waste to landfill (worm farms, keep cups, green bags, beeswax wraps) but I felt the amount of clothing our family 'consumed' was too much, especially with two 3 year old boys and an 18 month old growing like weeds.
It was then I had an idea. Imagine if I could create beautiful, sustainable childrens' clothing from clothes that we no longer wanted or needed?

Approved By The Head-banging Guitar Hero!
The Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster is based on a simply iconic guitar. It's the one you saw onstage with the metal hero for three decades of all-out head banging with Iron Maiden. Dave Murray loved his '57 Stratocaster — which was previously owned, in fact, by Paul Kossoff, the late, great Free guitarist. This Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster is loaded with that same supercharged HSH configuration, so you can pull out stacks of simmering tones. To top everything off, you've got a flatter, soft-shaped V neck, so you can comfortably get shredding on your Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster.Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
- Onstage and in the studio for three decades of Iron Maiden madness
- Loaded with a HSH pickup configuration for a smoldering array of tones
Onstage and in the studio for three decades of Iron Maiden madness
Iron Maiden's Dave Murray played a bunch of Strats, but his black 1957 Stratocaster was closest to his heart. Here, Fender's crafted a signature model to come close to that very same vintage Strat — the one you heard crafting Murray's signature, now-epic legendary tones.

You want Netflix to give you a jolt sometimes, and other times you want it to provide comfort food. When the latter is the case, you’ll want an excellent thriller that may not be overly graphic but manages to terrify you to your core. The streaming service has a good range of choices in the genre, but they also have a lot of other films categorised as “thrillers” that wouldn’t be the best use of your time. To spare you some scrolling, we’ve updated our list of the top thriller films on Netflix. One can browse Netflix’s extensive collection of the greatest movies to liven up those weekend evenings. When a viewer is in the mood for some brain teasers, Netflix provides the best thrillers in addition to sweet romances. Here is a selection of the top thriller movies available on Canadian Netflix that you can watch this weekend.
The American (2010)
A 2010 American action thriller starring George Clooney, Thekla Reuten, Violante Placido, Irina Björklund, and Paolo Bonacelli, The American was directed by Anton Corbijn.  It was partially based on Martin Booth’s 1990 novel A Very Private Gentleman, and Rowan Joffé wrote the script. The motion picture premiered on September 1st, 2010. Critics gave it favourable reviews, making it $67 million worldwide. The American distils decades’ worth of American film noir and European art cinema to create one of the most exquisite thrillers ever filmed. A wonderfully fatigued George Clooney plays against type in it. Clooney plays Jack, a gunmaker and contract killer in hiding who accepts one last job: to create a unique sniper rifle for a fellow assassin. The film is primarily set in the southern Italian hamlet of Castel del Monte. Although there are a few casualties along the road, a seductive romantic getaway, and some introspection, the strain is never relieved.
Inside Man (2006)
A 2006 American heist thriller called Inside Man was written by Russell Gewirtz and directed by Spike Lee. It revolves around a complex bank heist on Wall Street over a day. The movie stars Christopher Plummer as the bank’s founder Arthur Case, Denzel Washington as the NYPD’s hostage taker Detective Keith Frazier, Clive Owen as the heist’s mastermind Dalton Russell, and Jodie Foster as Madeleine White, a Manhattan power broker. She gets involved in the case’s (Christopher Plummer’s) request to keep something safe from the robbers in his safe deposit box. Before beginning to write what would eventually become his first original screenplay, Gewirtz spent five years refining the idea. He finished the script in 2002, and Imagine Entertainment bought it so that it could be produced by Universal Pictures, with Ron Howard, the co-founder of the earlier business, engaged at the helm.
Blood Diamond (2006)
In the 2006 American political war action thriller Blood Diamond, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Connelly, and Djimon Hounsou, Edward Zwick was the director and co-producer. The term “blood diamonds” refers to diamonds that are mined in conflict areas and sold to fund hostilities, benefiting warlords and diamond firms all over the world. This Edward Zwick film follows a Rhodesian smuggler (Leonardo DiCaprio) and a Mende fisherman (Djimon Hounsou) as they search for a rare diamond. It is a nasty action-thriller about the horrors of war and the dark side of global trade. Jennifer Connelly, an American journalist, is working to expose the shadowy business. This is excellent Entertainment on all levels, from the action scenes to the political messages.
The Pelican Brief (1993)
Based on John Grisham’s 1992 novel of the same name, The Pelican Brief is a 1993 American legal thriller movie. Julia Roberts plays young law student Darby Shaw in the Alan J. Pakula-directed movie, and Denzel Washington plays Washington Herald reporter Gray Grantham. The film, which had music by James Horner, was the final one to have Pakula serve as both the writer and the director before his passing. Denzel Washington plays an investigative reporter who wants to make sure her story is published in The Pelican Brief, which stars Julia Roberts as a law student who learns the reasons behind the murders of two Supreme Court Justices. The screenplay plays out like a typical step-by-step procedural based on John Grisham’s book of the same name. Still, Alan J. Pakula’s (All the President’s Men) superb direction and the two leads’ passionate performances transform a potentially predictable picture into an intolerably tense one.
The Guilty (2021)
The movie Guilty is a 2021 American crime thriller movie that Antoine Fuqua produced and directed from a Nic Pizzolatto screenplay. Jake Gyllenhaal and Christina Vidal lead this version of the 2018 Danish film of the same name, which also features the voices of Ethan Hawke, Riley Keough, Eli Goree, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Paul Dano, and Peter Sarsgaard. Denzel Washington plays an investigative reporter who wants to make sure her story is published in The Pelican Brief, which stars Julia Roberts as a law student who learns the reasons behind the murders of two Supreme Court Justices. Based on John Grisham’s book of the same name, the screenplay plays out like a typical step-by-step procedural. Still, Alan J. Pakula’s (All the President’s Men) superb direction and the two leads’ passionate performances transform a potentially predictable picture into an intolerably tense one.

A Loewen Blow
Adam Loewen pulled a fast one on the Orioles today, signing a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Loewen, a former first round pick (#4 overall in 2002), decided to quit pitching when he couldn’t stay healthy and started a comeback as a positional player. And when the Orioles released Loewen earlier this week, they had the intention to re-sign him to a minor league contract, and believed that they had Loewen’s word that he would accept such a deal.
Enter Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Remember Gaston? He was Baltimore’s public enemy #1 in 1993 when he failed to get then-Oriole pitcher Mike Mussina into the All Star Game, which was being played at Camden Yards. It prompted the city to don “Cito Sucks” shirts at O’s games.
Expect those shirts to be making a comeback.
Once Loewen was released, Gaston got on the horn, and sold him on the Blue Jays organization. It worked. Loewen is a native Canadian and apparently rooted for the Blue Jays as a kid growing up in British Columbia. And in the end, Loewen went back on whatever word he’d given the Orioles to sign with the Blue Jays.
I don’t begrudge Loewen’s decision to make a little more scratch, and go home to play for the team he grew up rooting for. But, after the Orioles stood by him and supported his decision to make a comeback as a positional player, despite the overwhelming odds, this does sour the Loewen legacy in Baltimore.
In the end, this is likely to be much ado about nothing. There is a minimal chance Loewen makes it back to the majors as a hitter, despite almost being drafted as one back when the O’s selected him #4 overall in 2002. Loewen hasn’t consistently swung a bat since he was in college. And as much as people want to bring up Rick Ankiel, the odds are against Loewen. Ankiel’s success story is the exception, not the rule.
Well, we can only hope.
And after he turned his back on an organization that stood by him since day one, and paid him handsomely for only 164 innings pitched in the majors, don’t expect me – or many Orioles fans – to be rooting for Loewen.
You do know what this means though, don’t you? Loewen’s going to be the next Rick Ankiel. Hell, maybe he’ll challenge the most famous ex-pitching slugger of all time.
Remember him? He has Baltimore ties too. He was born here.

Arianell waited patiently for me to tinker with a few joints (her right shoulder kept popping out) and also hoped I would make her some respectable clothes. The dress in this picture is the first version of a plaid dress I made out of a men’s handkerchief…
…and here is the almost final version after I lowered the neckline and bound the new edge with a bias cut strip of hanky.
Arianell’s shoulder is all fixed – I started by carving a new peg to go into the tenon part of the mortise and tenon joint, and then straightened the channel for the peg to go into. After that I re-glued the peg in place and while the glue dried I made some unmentionables! Tomorrow she will be ready to go out into the world.
Love the plaid dress!
Arianell loves it too – she says it is good to be decently clothed!
I feel like I entered a magical workshop. Arianell (and undies and dress) is just a storybook character come to life. She’s beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing her journey.
You are welcome! Arianell is going to be a favourite in this household, I think!
I love Arianell’s wood-grain. She is strikingly pretty. Leave it to the Quimper Human to look at a man’s handkerchief and see (and then produce) an adorable little feminine hitty dress. It looks wonderful on her.
I do love the texture of the wood too – and the handkerchief is just one of several I had in my stack of potential Hitty garments! I think there will be some more plaid in the Quimper Hitty’s future!
Arianelle is so lovely. Love her frock and her unders!
Thanks! She is glad you like her outfit, and is hoping to get out and frolic with her sisters in the autumn air!
She is another jewel joining the Quimper cupboard!!! So much love in that cupboard…being shared with all of us ❤ Thank you for that ray of sunshine!!!!
You are very welcome – we like the idea that love and sunshine is being transmitted through the Quimper Hitty Cupboard!

There’s not much you can do to prepare yourself for the fear, anger and pain that accompanies learning your child has a drug or alcohol addiction. Substance abuse affects the whole family, and the best way to help your child get the help needed to recover is to thoroughly educate yourself about recovery and post-treatment.
The more you know about addiction, the better you can help your child come to terms with their addiction, find helpful resources, choose the right treatment program and become involved in your child’s treatment and aftercare in the most effective ways possible.
This 14-part series is designed to help provide you with the information you need to face this struggle and help your child and your family find the path to recovery.
The Early Stage of Recovery and Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome
Recovery is a lifelong endeavor, and in the early years, it requires a high level of support. That’s why it’s important for your child to fully engage in the aftercare plan – or alumni program like what is offered at Gracious Care – that’s individualized and set in place after treatment. According to a study published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, the likelihood of maintaining sobriety increases by 20 percent for each consecutive month of engagement in aftercare programming.
The early stage of recovery is the abstinence stage. During the one to two-year duration of this phase, your child will be focused on accepting his addiction and developing a new self-identity as a non-user. He will practice honesty with himself and others; develop skills for coping with stress, triggers and cravings; learn to practice a high level of self-care; and develop a healthy lifestyle that’s conducive to sobriety.
The primary danger during the abstinence stage is post-acute withdrawal syndrome, or PAWS, which begins shortly after quitting drugs or alcohol and lasts as long as two years. Symptoms of PAWS are usually intermittent, going away for several days or weeks and then returning for a time.
Symptoms of PAWS include mood swings, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, irritability, low energy levels and disturbed sleep patterns. While the aftercare plan is designed to address the symptoms of PAWS, family support is also essential for helping your child navigate the early months and years of sobriety.
Continue Family Education, Therapy and Support
For you and other family members, continuing to engage in family therapy and participate in a family support group is crucial for helping your child through the abstinence stage of recovery.
Ongoing family therapy will continue to help you restore function to your household. Dysfunction in the family is a major relapse trigger, and learning effective communication skills and developing healthy ways of thinking and behaving within the family system are essential for improving family dynamics.
You will need a high level of support once your child leaves rehab and returns to regular life. Continuing to participate in your support group will provide you with emotional and practical support as well as help you find the resources you need to best help your child through the often-rocky first months of recovery. You’ll also have the opportunity to offer sage advice and a sympathetic ear to families who are just beginning their recovery journey.
Continue to educate yourself, focusing now on the mechanics of relapse and relapse prevention. Know the stages of relapse—emotional, mental, and physical—and how to recognize the signs of each stage.
Know what to do should a lapse or relapse occur. Perhaps most importantly, remember that relapse is now considered to be the norm rather the exception in recovery, and it never means that treatment failed. Rather, it’s an opportunity to develop missing skills that will contribute to long-term sobriety moving forward.
Aftercare is Essential…
Engagement in aftercare is the number one overall predictor of abstinence. The National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Dependence stresses the importance of supporting your loved one’s participation in the aftercare plan. Encourage your child to attend and participate in meetings and therapy, and let him know you support him and believe in him.
…And So is Hope
Perhaps most importantly, always hold onto your hope, which is the foundation of recovery. No matter what challenges crop up or what setbacks leave you feeling rattled and worried, let your child know that your hope and your love are undying and unconditional.

The Pros and Cons of Things: Xbox One
The next generation of gaming consoles is just right around the corner but which one is the crème de la crème? Frankly this is just all a matter of preference but hey, for the sake of debate let’s roll with it. The first console we went over the pros and cons of the PS4, for this post we will talk about Microsoft’s Xbox One.
- A complete 180 degree turn on the earlier and rather restrictive policies such as only able to access games while connected to the internet has made the Xbox One a MUCH more appealing game console.
- Halo 5, Titan fall, ’nuff said.
- incredible entertainment applications such as being able to watch television channels on it such as ESPN, and voice command AND voice recognition.
- Improved Kinect (motion control).
- The emphasis on Kinect has become rather unpopular among most consumers do to its functionality; there’s also concerns about privacy settings.
- The console is rather expensive; the previous console, Xbox 360, was sold at $300.00 to $400.00 at launch where as the Xbox One will cost $500.00.

Wolmanized® CCA Consumer Safety Information Sheet
Consumer Safety Information Sheet for CCA Pressure Treated Lumber
This wood has been preserved by pressure-treatment with an EPA-registered pesticide containing chromated copper arsenate (CCA) to protect it from termite attack and decay. Wood treated with CCA should be used only where such protection is important. 1
CCA penetrates deeply into and remains in the pressure-treated wood for a long time. Exposure to CCA may present certain hazards. Therefore, the following precautions should be taken both when handling the treated wood and in determining where to use and dispose of the treated wood. 2
Use Site Precautions for CCA Pressure-Treated Wood
Wood pressure-treated with CCA preservatives may be used inside residences as long as all sawdust and construction debris are cleaned up and disposed of after construction.
Do not use treated wood under circumstances where the preservative may become a component of food or animal feed. Examples of such sites would be structures or containers for storing silage or food.
Do not use treated wood for cutting-boards or countertops. 3
Only treated wood that is visibly clean and free of surface residue should be used for patios, decks and walkways.
Do not use treated wood for construction of those portions of beehives which may come into contact with the honey.
Treated wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect contact with public drinking water, except for uses involving incidental contact such as docks or bridges.
Handling Precautions for CCA Pressure-Treated Wood
Dispose of treated wood by ordinary trash collection or burial. Treated wood should not be burned in open fires or in stoves, fireplaces or residential boilers because toxic chemicals may be produced as part of the smoke and ashes. Treated wood from commercial or industrial use (e.g., construction sites) may be burned only in commercial or industrial incinerators or boilers in accordance with state and Federal regulations. 4
Avoid frequent or prolonged inhalation of sawdust from treated wood. When sawing and machining treated wood, wear a dust mask. Whenever possible, these operations should be performed outdoors to avoid indoor accumulations of airborne sawdust from treated wood. 5
When power-sawing and machining, wear goggles to protect eyes from flying particles.
After working with the wood, and before eating, drinking, and use of tobacco products, wash exposed areas thoroughly. 6
If preservatives or sawdust accumulates on clothes, launder before reuse. Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing.
Footnotes on Wolmanized Wood
- In considering hazards, it is important to distinguish between preservative and preservative-treated wood, as EPA has done. While special precautions must be heeded by plant personnel who handle CCA preservative, safety recommendations for using Wolmanized pressure-treated wood are modest and mostly common sense.
- One reason that Wolmanized wood lasts so long is that the CCA preservative reacts with the wood and forms a chemical bond - it becomes "fixed" within the lumber. Once fixation occurs, the preservative is very leach resistant.
- Cutting boards are a difficult application for many materials. In a study comparing plastic and untreated wood cutting boards, wood performed better. However, unless topped by a protective covering, wood surfaces will be cut by knives. Food particles can become lodged in these grooves, leading to bacterial growth. Wolmanized wood is acceptable for picnic tables since tables are used primarily for serving prepared food, not as cutting surfaces.
- Laboratory tests done according to a National Bureau of Standards protocol show that smoke emitted from the Wolmanized wood is no more toxic than smoke from untreated wood. However, the resulting ash can contain concentrations of heavy metals which could be potential pollutants if not disposed of properly. Caution is advised in burning other manufactured wood products too; the American Medical Association also advises against burning plywood, particle board, and old furniture.
- These recommendations are applicable to both treated and untreated wood. Inhalation of any sawdust could cause nose and throat irritation. Similarly, goggles or safety glasses are sensible safety measures regardless of what wood product is being sawn.
- Observing good hygiene practices is recommended after handling any type of wood or after doing any type of construction work. Wolmanized wood is clean, non-staining, and odorless. If gives off no fumes or vapors.


The incident happened on Sunday at 4.30am in Geylang. According to an eyewitness, the plainclothes officers had shouted at the man to stay put just as he was boarding a taxi. In a panic, the man ran off.
The policemen gave chase and along Geylang Lorong 25, the man suddenly turned around and splashed them with kerosene. He held up a cigarette and threatened to set them ablaze if they continued their pursuit.
Subsequently, more police backup arrived and 8 officers managed to subdue the man and arrest him.

Secretory activity of mandibular organ fluctuates in response to reproductive season of the field crab Paratelphusa sp. (Brachyura; Decapoda): an ultrastructural study
Zoological Studies volume 53, Article number: 65 (2014)
Mandibular organ (MO) in decapods is suggested to play regulatory role in reproduction, in few species; however, MO is considered to control growth. The present study addresses this question by an ultrastructural study on the MO of the field crab, Paratelphusa sp. Our sampling for consecutive years (2008 to 2012) revealed that Paratelphusa sp. devotes July to October for reproduction, judged by the occurrence of growing ovaries and the berried females. From November to the succeeding June, the females are in a state of reproductive arrest (non-reproductive period); ovaries during this season would appear as white bands with no signs of yolk deposition.
Morphologically, MO of Paratelphusa sp. is positioned posterior to the mandibles and is in close apposition with the distal end of the mandibular apodeme. MO of Paratelphusa sp. exhibited significant levels (t = 8.097, P < 0.0001, N = 10) of season-dependent size variations. Our electron microscopic observations reveal that the MO is highly secretory during the reproductive period, evidenced by the occurrence of sacculated Golgi bodies having dense inclusions, several mitochondria with tubular cristae, and extensive networks of SER and rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). During the non-reproductive period, however, the MO is least active; RER, the mitochondria, and the Golgi are only sparsely seen. Interestingly, the plasma membrane exhibits a highly convoluted appearance all the way through the non-reproductive period.
The present study reveals that the secretory activity of MO of Paratelphusa sp. is entrained with reproductive activity. The existence of a high correlation between MO secretory activity and ovarian growth implicates the former’s role in reproduction.
The mandibular organ (MO) in crustaceans is a pair of ductless, ectodermally derived gland, first described by Le Roux () in the cephalothorax of the crab Carcinus maenas. Initial studies by several authors suggested the MO to be involved in regulating reproduction (Le Roux , Hinsch ), and/or molting (Aoto et al. , Byard et al. , Yudin et al. ). A major limitation in investigating the exact role of MO has been its anatomical location which has made its surgical removal difficult. Therefore, it has not been possible to perform the ‘classical’ ablation-replacement experiments to probe into the MO function, unlike the situation in the corpora allata of insects (Nagaraju et al. ).
In the 1990s, studies on MO were conducted in the context of changes in the nature of its secretion, a terpenoid compound, farnesoic acid (FA), a pro-hormone that gets methylated by farnesoic acid O-methyl transferase to the active form of the hormone methyl farnesoate (MF) (Gunawardene et al. ). The physiological function for MF was enigmatic in crustaceans until its analogy with the gonadotropic hormone JH III from insects was established (Laufer et al. , Borst et al. ); a recent report suggests MF to be the precursor for insect JH (Teal et al. ). In vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated an association between MF production and ovarian development in C. maenas, Libinia emarginata, and Procambarus clarkii (Borst et al. , Laufer et al. , Nagaraju et al. , Nagaraju ). Recent studies on the biosynthesis and release of farnesoic acid and MF within the gland (MO) revealed that the rates of biosynthesis of FA and MF were stage-dependent, with maximal production (with a threefold increase) occurring during secondary vitellogenesis, i.e., stages 4 and 5 in Homarus americanus (Tiu et al. ). Since the discovery of MF in crustaceans, the physiological role of this compound has been a subject of debate. While some of the authors are of the view that MF could be stimulating molt (Yudin et al. , Tamone and Chang ), there have been suggestions that MF could play a crucial role in delaying the onset of molting in larval crustaceans (Borst et al. ).
Molting and breeding are seasonal events in crustaceans. Most of the brachyuran crabs program their molt (premolt growth) and breeding in antagonistic fashion; only the intermolt females engage in breeding (Adiyodi and Adiyodi , Sudha and Anilkumar , Kappalli et al. ). However, any questions on the regulatory mechanisms of these seasonal events could be addressed effectively only if the studies are conducted in a season-dependent fashion; and a season-wise study on the MO secretory activity is totally lacking in brachyuran crustaceans. It is, at this juncture, we undertook the present study that depicts the results of ultrastructural study on the MO activity of Vellore population of the field crab Paratelphusa sp. during the reproductive and the non-reproductive seasons from July to September and March to June/July, respectively.
Collection and maintenance of animals
All adult female crabs (within the size class of 3.2 to 3.8 cm carapace width) used for the present study were in intermolt and were collected from rice farms and adjacent areas of the VIT University campus, Vellore, India (12.56°N, 79.8°E). Collections were made by baiting, on a weekly basis; 35 to 40 animals were observed each month to assess the impact (if any) of seasonal variation in breeding and molting. In the laboratory, the crabs were reared in plastic cisterns and were fed ad lib on boiled beef liver, boiled rice, and tender grass (after Sudha and Anilkumar ; Kappalli et al. ). Adequate care was taken to maintain them in near-natural condition. Special care was taken to clean the cisterns regularly to remove the leftover food materials so as to minimize or avoid stress to the animals, conforming to the International guidelines for maintenance of laboratory animals (NRC, 2011, Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, Eighth Edition).
Identification of stages of vitellogenesis and molting
The ovary was dissected out, by cutting open the dorsal part of the carapace; the dissection was conducted in normal physiological saline medium. For characterization of the vitellogenic stages, oocyte samples were placed on a temporary wet-mount microscope slide and their dimensions were measured using a calibrated ocular micrometer, to the nearest one micrometer. Taking the oocyte size, the ovary wet weight, and the color of the ovary as the criteria, vitellogenesis of Paratelphusa sp. is classified into four stages (1 to 4). The ovary at stage 1 of vitellogenesis appears creamy with oocyte diameter ranging between 300 and 500 μm. Stage 2 ovary is bright yellow, with the oocyte diameter ranging between 501 and 800 μm (Figure 1a). The ovary attains a brown or brownish black hue as vitellogenesis progresses towards stages 3 and 4, the oocyte diameters being 801 to 1,000 and 1,001 to 1,440 μm, respectively (Figure 1b).
Molt stages were identified by microscopic observations of the setogenic events in the pleopods and through macroscopic observation of changes in the exoskeleton. The tip of a pleopod was cut out using a pair of scissors, mounted in water on a clean glass slide, and observed light microscopically. Morphological characteristics of setae on the pleopods and the extent of epidermal retraction were used to define the stages of molting: premolt, the stage preparatory to molting, is classified into substages D1 to D4 which are characterized by stages of setogenic events identified clearly and precisely through a light microscope. A clear but narrow margin between the epidermal layer and the cuticle defines stage D1. A wider margin of the retracted epidermal layer can be seen in stage D2, followed by appearance of rudiments of (juvenile) setal grooves (stage D3), and subsequently by the occurrence of fully developed juvenile setae (D4), ready to replace the old set of setae. Soon after exuviation, the animal possesses a soft exoskeleton. The newly formed setae at this stage (A) do not possess the setal cones; at stage B, the setal cones start appearing. Subsequently, in another 5 to 7 days, the crab transforms into the intermolt stage.
Dissection of mandibular organ
The mandibular organ of Paratelphusa sp. was dissected out by cutting open the carapace from the area adjacent to the chitinous apodeme projecting outwards from the dorsal cavity. After having dissected out, the tissue was immediately fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histological studies and in 3% buffered glutaraldehyde for electron microscopic studies.
For histological examinations, the tissue, fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, was dehydrated in a graded alcohol series and cleared in xylene for 15 min. The tissues were then embedded in Paraffin wax, sectioned at 5- to 7-μm thickness, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for light microscopic observations.
Transmission electron microscopy
The tissue, after being fixed in 3% buffered glutaraldehyde for 24 h, was washed thoroughly with 0.1-M phosphate buffer and post-fixed in osmium tetroxide for 1 to 2 h at 4°C. After a brief wash in 0.1-M phosphate buffer, it was dehydrated in graded series of ethanol (70% to 90%). Following dehydration in 90% ethanol, the sample was incubated in (freshly prepared) 2% ethanolic uranyl acetate (en bloc staining) and was subsequently dehydrated with 100% ethanol. Propylene oxide was used as the clearing agent. Further, the tissue was left for infiltration for a minimum of 6 h in a 1:1 mixture of propylene oxide and araldite followed by pure araldite for a further period of 8 h. The tissue was then embedded in araldite and kept in an oven maintained at 60°C undisturbed for 2 days for polymerization. Semi-thin sections (1 μm), stained with 1% toluidine blue, were used to ensure the exact positioning of the tissue. Ultra-thin (600 Å) sections contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate were scanned under FEI TECNAI Biotwin electron microscope (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA).
Seasonal changes in physiology of Paratelphusa sp. with reference to molt and reproduction
The physiology of Paratelphusa sp. was examined throughout the year in a season-dependent manner with special reference to molt and reproduction. Our sampling from the year 2008 to 2012 revealed that the seasonal physiological cycle of the species could be broadly classified into two seasons: reproductive season and non-reproductive season. Reproductive season begins with the onset of monsoons from July onwards, the adult female crabs showed signs of developing ovary and as the monsoon progressed (August to September), the ovaries showed signs of yolk deposition. At the end of September and early October, egg-carrying females as well as juveniles were visible in the fields. This was followed by the frequent molts of the juveniles until the end of November. From November onwards, the animals appear to prepare for their pubertal molt. Until February and early March, the entire population appeared to be engaged in molting; occurrence of various postmolt (with a soft exoskeleton) and intermolt organisms appear by the end of March. The non-reproductive season (a state of ovarian repose) begins from March, where the ovaries at this stage would appear as white bands with no signs of yolk deposition. Subsequently, during March to June, there is a complete inactivity in the population; the females engage neither in reproduction nor in molting.
Localization and gross morphology of mandibular organ
Mandibular organ of the field crab Paratelphusa sp. is a pair of pale yellow, somewhat spherical, and is approximately 1 to 1.5 mm in diameter. MO is seen directly posterior to the mandibles and closely associated with the anterior portion of the paired chitinous tendons that extend from the mandibles to the dorsal carapace. Layers of connective tissue surround and firmly attach the MO to the tendons (Figure 2).
Histology of MO
The histological sections of MO reveal that the glandular epithelium is surrounded by an outer connective tissue followed by an inner muscle layer which helps firm attachment of the gland to the apodeme (Figure 3).
Ultrastructure of MO
Ultrastructurally, the cord configuration of the mandibular organ is clearly demonstrated as seen in Figure 4. Each cell is surrounded by intercellular hemolymph channels which in turn are interconnected with hemolymph sinuses. Granular and agranular hemocytes were noted within the sinuses (Figure 5a,b,c). Granular hemocytes characterized by irregularly shaped nuclei were usually found outside the sinuses. On the other hand, agranular hemocytes are restricted within the sinuses. The mandibular gland cells vary in shape and tend to have eccentric nuclei with condensed heterochromatin around the peripheral karyoplasm.
Season-dependent morphological changes in MO
MO of Paratelphusa sp. exhibited significant levels (t = 8.097. P < 0.0001, N = 10) of season-dependent size variations. The gland was found to be pale-yellow and somewhat spherical, with size ranging from 0.629 ± 0.072 mm during the non-reproductive season to 1.015 ± 0.078 mm during the reproductive season.
Season-dependent ultrastructural changes of MO
Non-reproductive season (March to June/July)
During the months of March to June, each cell appears to be surrounded by a few or more granular hemocytes within the adjoining hemolymph channels. The plasma membrane of mandibular gland cells during the season, exhibits profuse convolutions especially where it is adjacent to hemolymph channels (Figure 6a); SER, RER, Golgi, and the mitochondria (Figure 6b,c) are only rarely seen. Ribosomes are found scarcely scattered in the cell (Figure 6b).
Reproductive season (July to September)
During the months of July to September (premonsoon and monsoon seasons), MO of Paratelphusa sp. displays signs of high activity. A prominent feature during this period is the abundant appearance of granular and agranular hemocytes in and around the hemolymph sinuses (Figure 7a,b,c). Another feature of the cytoplasm of active mandibular gland cells is the presence of several dense mitochondria (Figure 8a). Golgi complexes are also dispersed throughout the cytoplasm, often with dense, lipid-like inclusions near their concave surfaces (Figure 8b). These inclusions usually are scattered throughout the cytoplasm. The Golgi complexes are frequently observed in close association with large accumulations of RER and SER (Figure 8c and Figure 9a,b). In such associations, the convex surface of the Golgi complexes appears to produce the saccules, and the concave surface releases the vesicles. The active mitochondria appear to be having tubular cristae oriented perpendicularly to their long axes with elaborate networks of smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum dispersed throughout the cytoplasm within a minimally convoluted plasma membrane (Figure 10). Another prominent feature of a typically active mandibular gland cell is the occurrence of distinct electron dense cells rich in SER (Figure 11). They were found to be appearing between the gland cells and near the lining of the hemolymph sinusoid (Figure 12).
This is the first ever report on the structure and function of MO of a brachyuran crab in a season-dependent manner. The histology and ultrastructure of mandibular organ have been examined through the entire annual cycle, involving the breeding (July to November) and the non-breeding (March to June) seasons of this field crab.
MO attains maximum size during the months of July to November (1 to 1.5 mm), the season where the entire population devotes itself for reproduction. The gland has its minimum size (0.6 mm) during the months of March to June, when the population does not engage in reproduction.
The histological and ultrastructural examinations of MO revealed that the mandibular gland cells of Paratelphusa sp. conformed closely to non-peptide secreting cells, judged by the occurrence of profuse SER and the Golgi (Figure 8c). However, these cells do not seem to be involved in steroid secretion, inasmuch as the MO is known to secrete the terpenoid compound such as the methyl farnesoate (Laufer et al. ). It would be pertinent to recall that the cellular nature of MO of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus has been suggested to resemble steroid secreting cells (Yudin et al. ). Another cytological feature of the MO cells of Paratelphusa sp. has been the occurrence of convolutions in the plasma membrane during non-reproductive season when compared with the reproductively active season. We are encouraged to presume that these convolutions could be the aftermath of inactivity during the non-breeding season (and the resultant decrease in the cell size). These fine structural details on the gland add to our understanding on its function and reiterate its active role in reproduction.
A variety of other cytoplasmic inclusions are seen in the MO cells during reproductive season. Some of them, with a fairly granular matrix of moderate electron density, are frequently observed to contain electron dense materials of various shapes. Other inclusions have a highly electron dense matrix bounded by a limiting membrane (Figure 11). None of these structures were observed during non-reproductive season. Further, the fine structural details of the organ showed a remarkable difference in the occurrence of granular as well agranular hemocytes in the sinusoid (Figure 7a,b) between the reproductive and the non-reproductive seasons. The profuse occurrence of hemocytes during the reproductive season suggests for their role in transportation or storage of the secretory materials of the gland. With respect to the mode of release of the secretory materials, we failed to observe the signs of either apocrine or holocrine mode of secretion; presumably, the mode of release of the secretory product of MO could be merocrine.
Further, admittedly, it would be worth mentioning in this context that the exact signaling of MF leading to reproduction in crustaceans is still enigmatic. Moreover, the sequencing studies conducted of late in our laboratory demonstrated that the RXRDBD (accession number: JQ239171) of Paratelphusa sp. is remarkably identical (75% to 78% identity) with the USP of Drosophila melanogaster, Aedes aegyptii, Bombyx mori, and Manduca sexta (Sarika and Anilkumar ). Pertinently, the observation of in vitro binding between sesquiterpenoids and retinoid receptor (RXR) gene, leading to the latter’s activation to elicit hormone response (Wang and LeBlanc ), has encouraged the endocrinologists to suggest RXR as a putative receptor for MF (Nagaraju et al. , Tiu et al. ). Future experiments involving binding assays and expression studies (on a season-dependent fashion) would help us understand explicitly the exact mode of hormonal action for the successful accomplishment of reproduction in decapod crustaceans.
To conclude, the present ultrastructural study has demonstrated (for the first time) the fluctuating secretory activity of the mandibular organ of a brachyuran decapod (Paratelphusa sp.) in the context of reproduction, in a season-dependent manner. We consider this study as a prelude to our understanding on the mechanisms involved in the regulation of decapod reproduction. The present observation, along with those of Metapenaeus ensis demonstrating the synthesis of farnesoic acid by the MO (Gunawardene et al. ), and the fluctuating levels of MF in tune with the breeding activity in Oziotelphusa senex senex (Nagaraju et al. ) reinforces the suggested role of MO (and its secretion) in decapod reproduction.

The Cross Country Cruisers snowmobile club has announced that the snowmobile trail on Lake Minocqua has been marked as of January 17th, 2019.
The trail near the Highway 51 bridge has been shifted to the north a bit. There will be extra barrels marking the trail in this area and the club advises all users to stay next to the barrels and markers.
Cars and trucks should avoid the immediate west side of the bridge entirely. Lake ice in this area has not developed to the usual thickness and there may be pockets of thin ice that are not marked.
All other recreational users are advised to stay along the marked trail in this area.
Be alert and cautious. The fact that a lake trail is marked does not guarantee safety. And remember, when you risk your own safety, you’re also jeopardizing the safety of any companions and emergency response personnel.
While the lake was marked later than normal this year, there are still ten solid weeks of snowmobile season ahead. Riders will recall that in 2016, Lake Minocqua was not marked until January 20th.

The Bankruptcy Act of 1898 (Nelson Act, July 1, 1898, chap.) Previous attempts to enact federal bankruptcy laws had lasted, at most, a few years. Bankruptcy laws are rooted in English laws that date back to the 16th century. The first English laws punished debtors who tried to evade their financial responsibilities, usually with imprisonment. Beginning in the 18th century, the change in attitude inspired the development of debt forgiveness.
Courts began to cancel debts as a reward for the debtor's cooperation in trying to reduce them. The public increasingly viewed debtors with pity, in addition to realizing that punishments such as imprisonment were often useless to creditors. Therefore, a law that was initially designed to punish the debtor became a law that protected the debtor while encouraging the resolution of outstanding monetary obligations. The English vision of the 18th century was not reflected in the first bankruptcy laws of the United States; instead, laws based largely on England's previous punitive bankruptcy laws governed the United States.
After the signing of the Declaration of Independence, individual states had their own laws that addressed debtor-creditor disputes, and these laws varied widely. The Bankruptcy Act of 1898 lasted eighty years, thanks in part to numerous amendments, and became the basis for current bankruptcy laws. The 1898 Act established bankruptcy courts and established bankruptcy administrators. Congress replaced this law with the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U, S, C, A.
One, a reference to a public law number, is a link to the bill as originally approved by Congress, and will take you to the LRC's THOMAS legislative system, or GPO FDSYS site). Like much of American law, the origins of both state debt collection laws and federal bankruptcy law are found in England. To find the origins of corporate reorganization, we must look beyond the early evolution of bankruptcy law and, instead, analyze the evolution of insolvency railroad bankruptcies. Lobbying by creditor groups and a Supreme Court decision that declared certain administrative parts of the Act unconstitutional led to the Bankruptcy and Federal Jurisdiction Amendments Act of 1984. Complaints that the law was expensive to administer, that it was difficult and expensive to travel to federal courts, and the fact that the law provided opportunities for fraud led to its repeal after just two years.
The requirement that the law be temporary was crucial for Democrats because voting in favor of a permanent bankruptcy law would have been a vote in favor of expanding federal power and against the rights of states, a central component of Democratic politics.
