Selling My Mother's Dresses

I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2004, just in time to watch my mother die. That wasn't why I moved back. She was supposed to be getting better; the chemo was working. I came because I'd rented an apartment with Jay, this cute guy I'd started dating, who was originally from New York too. But a week after pulling up in a U-Haul, I found myself cleaning out my childhood home with my siblings. Our parents were both gone now; anything that we couldn't take with us had to fit in a 20-cubic-yard Dumpster.

I could barely squeeze the little I saved into the one-bedroom Jay and I shared. I didn't even try to unpack the boxes of my parents' books, the bags of my mom's dresses. Jay (who held me up at the funeral and painted our place all my favorite colors and quickly proved to be much more than just a cute guy) had to shimmy sideways to get between my father's easy chair and my mother's broken desk. I was claustrophobic from the mountains of photos and misplaced knickknacks, and yet I found myself drawn to someone else's castoffs.
We hadn't lived there more than a month and already I was claustrophobic from the mountains of photos and misplaced knickknacks. So it made no sense when, out walking one Saturday later that summer, something caught my eye — a pale green scrap of fabric — and suddenly I was steering Jay toward someone else's castoffs. My first stoop sale.
Laid out on the pavement was a batik scarf with dangling earrings, glass candle-holders, a small wooden jewelry box, books from Heidegger to Nora Ephron, a videotape of "Risky Business." Draped on the wrought iron fence behind: a tan knit shawl, a few pairs of jeans, a green cotton dress with buttons that looked like the inside of a seashell. I'd never owned anything green, but I had to feel those buttons between my fingers, the cotton so thin it was maybe two washes away from disintegration.

The Best Outdoor Storage Containers

When it comes to outdoor storage containers you need ones that are rugged enough to stand up to the elements that will also last long enough to be considered a value for your money spent. Those are not the only factors to consider, however, as depending on the size involved you will want to find something that will match the theme of your home or at the very least not stick out like a sore thumb.
Okay I may be stretching it here but technically outdoor storage buildings are food steamer. I can bet that if you were to think about it for a minute you would remember someone who lives in your neighborhood that has an outdoor storage building that is either dilapidated looking or comes nowhere near matching the style and color of their home. Something of this nature could actually make your property value drop, especially in this day and age of people being so anal about any small detail they can leverage price in their favor on.
I think the best ones are the ones made like the glass steamer in the picture above where they are not huge and can be placed on a concrete slab along the side of the home. They allow you to store your plastic garbage cans and even enough space for things such as gardening tools and supplies. A glass food container such as pyrex glass oven could can easily be chosen in a color that blends with your home and will last for years keeping your stored items out of the elements.
Many outdoor storage containers are made fro either using full sized shipping containers or ones that have been modified and cut down in size. They make great long lasting storage buildings, but can look a little out of place so be sure to really put some thought into that aspect when making this purchase. The best attribute of these is that they were made for hauling freight so they are built to lat and are easily modified to fit your needs. Are you big into storing a lot of frozen meats and goods then you can convert a shipping container into an outdoor walk in freezer. They even use these to convert into firewood kilns as well. Check out these cooking pot lid of their many faces.
In the future be sure to look for some posts more specific on how you can go about converting these great little outdoor storage containers into one that fits your needs. As you can see there are many options available that will allow you to store anything outdoors and still keep your property looking nice with a proper flow between the home and the outdoor storage containers. Sometimes you just have to think outside of the box!

One day I found myself

I went on like this for months. One day I found myself driving along I-40, returning to Nashville after dropping off my daughter at college in Knoxville. The rolling green hills unspooled out the window and it seemed like I was heading from nowhere to nowhere. I felt weighted down and alone. Alone with my anger.
I often stayed up late at night poring over financial documents. Sometimes I screamed at the wall. My relationship with Linda was strained. I was terse and grim at the office too. It was no way to live, but what was I supposed to do when every day I pulled into work and saw my former friends' cars parked right across the lot? Surely no one expected me to forgive them?
The moment that thought entered my mind I felt a kind of stilling of my heart. Forgiveness. I'd heard plenty of sermons about forgiveness. Heck, I'd scheduled plenty of speakers on the topic. But senseless betrayal by close friends? Who could forgive something like that?
The hills rolled by, silent and serene. I heard no voice, felt no presence—indeed, I'd never felt emptier. Yet all of a sudden a prayer came unbidden to my lips: "Lord, fill my emptiness with your presence." I spoke those words and it was as if a film was immediately lifted from my eyes. Not only was forgiveness possible, it was required. It was the only way to fill the emptiness and stop the anger. Forgiveness was the presence of God. I would have laughed except I was so dismayed. I knew what I had to do. I just didn't know how to do it.
In fact, it took me three years, a Christian men's retreat and a final face-to-face meeting with Tim to reach that place of forgiveness. Along the way I let go of my self-righteousness and admitted that I'd been unfair, expecting two subordinates to take the reins as I neared retirement and yet still follow my direction. That didn't excuse their betrayal, but it felt right to acknowl­edge my own role in our failed relationship.
I read those powerful words in Matthew, "Love your enemies," and I realized that in the end I had to forgive both men whether or not they ever apologized. I opened my heart to reconciliation.
Sometime later Tim got in touch with me . By that point their new business had foundered and Tim was at loose ends. I didn't offer him a job, though my company's back on sound financial footing. What I offered was friendship. We're still in touch and I can honestly say I hold no bitterness toward either man.

Egypt early on the previous day

Plotinus， the bishop， at whose instigation the fugitives had been chased， could fill up what the damsel might choose to conceal.
　　He had started to follow the patriarch immediately after the pursuers had set out， and had only returned from Upper Egypt early on the previous day. On his arrival he had forwarded to the Vekeel two indictments brought against Orion by the prelate： the first relating to the evasion of the nuns； the other to the embezzlement of a costly emerald； the rightful property of the church. These accusations were what had encouraged the Negro to confiscate the young man's estate， particularly as the bitter tone of the patriarch's document sufficiently proved that in him he had found an ally.
　　Paula must next be placed in safe custody， and he had no doubt whatever that her statement would incriminate Orion in some degree. He would gladly have cross-examined her at once， but he had other matters in hand to-day.
　　The longest part of his task was ransacking the treasurer's office； Nilus himself had to conduct the search. Everything which he pointed out as a legal document， title-deed， contract for purchase or sale， revenue account or the like， was at once placed in oxcarts or on camels， with the large sums of gold and silver coin， and carried across the river under a strong escort. All the more antique deeds and the family archives， the Vekeel left untouched. He was indeed an indefatigable man， for although these details kept him busy the whole day， he allowed himself no rest nor did he once ask for the refreshment of food or a cooling draught. As the day went on he enquired again and again for the bishop， with increasing impatience and irritation. It would have been his part to wait on the patriarch， but who was Plotinus？ Thin-skinned， like all up-starts in authority， he took the bishop's delay as an act of personal contumely. But the shepherd of the flock at Memphis was not a haughty prelate， but a very humble and pious minister. His superior， the patriarch， had entrusted him with an important mission to Amru or his lieutenant， and yet he could let the Vekeel wait in vain， and not even send him a message of explanation； in the afternoon， however， his old housekeeper dispatched the acolyte who was attached to his person to seek Philippus. Her master， a hale and vigorous man， had gone to bed by broad day-light a few hours after his return home， and had not again left it. He was hot and thirsty， and did not seem fully conscious of where he was or of what was happening.
　　Plotinus had always maintained that prayer was the Christian's best medicine； still， as his poor body had become alarmingly heated the old woman ventured to send for the physician； but the messenger came back saying that Philippus was absent on a journey. This was in fact the case： He had quitted Memphis in obedience to a letter from Haschim. The merchant's unfortunate son was not getting better. There seemed to be an injury to some internal organ， which threatened his life. The anxious father besought the leech， in whom he had the greatest confidence， to hasten to Djidda， there to examine the sufferer and undertake the case. At the same time he desired that Rustem should join him as soon as his health would permit.

Oval gear meter

Field testing of the biggest generator set ever developed by Cummins will begin at an Australian mine site later this year.
The series generator set incorporates Cummins’ new submersible turbine pumps engine, a 95-litre V16 that achieves higher output from 16 cylinders than competitors’ 20-cylinder engines.
With an output of over 4000 hp, the is the highest horsepower engine ever developed by cummins.
A high-speed diesel (1200 to 1800 rpm), the QSK95 will eventually become available for a range of high-hour, high-load applications including power generation, mine trucks and excavators, oil and gas drilling modules, locomotives and marine vessels.
“The new c3000-series generator set will change expectations of what can be achieved by high-speed diesel technology, marrying industry-leading power density with increased durability,” says Tony Satterthwaite, president of Cummins’ power generation business.
“Designed as a global product platform, the lpg flowmeter series will be able to be used anywhere in the world for standby, prime or continuous duty applications.”
Scheduled for production in late 2014, the C3000-series marks the start of a new line of diesel and gas-powered gensets from Cummins.
When the larger 120-litre, 20-cylinder version of the engine becomes available, Cummins’ generator set product line will extend beyond 4 MW. “Our natural gas-powered generator set will be designed specifically for gas, not just a derivative of the diesel product line,” says Satterthwaite.
The 3.5 MW C3000-series leverages Cummins’ ‘Power of One’ capability, with single-company design and manufacture of all key systems. The QSK95 engine, alternator and controls have all been developed simultaneously with the C3000-series with the goal of creating a fully integrated and optimised generator set.
The 95-litre engine enables fast ramp-up to maximum power, taking advantage of faster transient response from four compact turbochargers.
The modular common rail fuel system with up to 2200 bar (sliding vane pump) high-pressure injection also results in smoother, quieter and more fuel efficient operation.
The high power density of the QSK95 is achieved with a hardened power cylinder and single-piece forged steel piston. The increased strength also contributes to extended life-to-overhaul with minimum mid-life intervention.

Pyrex storage set

Buying food canisters from stores selling home supplies can get expensive. Ever since I read Rachel’s post in 2009 on how she uses glass jars in her kitchen. I was inspired to do the same thing. It looked so beautiful and practical to display your food in jars. I’ve become a glass jar lover and saver!! I was tempted to go on a hunt to buy glass food containers but noticed I had soup and sauce jars I should probably use first. I was previously obsessed with the soup jars I was buying by Sunflower Kitchen which Bernardin glass jars. In the past year or so, I’ve come across Ball glass jars on food blogs and DIY blogs and they aren’t available in Canada but I’d really like to get a few one day.
After buying lots of almond butter, spaghetti sauce soups in glass jars, I’ve accumulated lots of jars and have reused them to store pantry items. However, one problem that I have after washing the jars in dish detergent and hot water is the remaining odour that is leftover.
After washing the jar with dish detergent, I normally use vinegar to get rid of the odour by adding it to the glass jar with hot soapy water closing the lid, flipping the jar over onto it’s lid and leaving it overnight. I’ve found this method to be fine with soup jars and nut butter jars.
However, for spaghetti sauce jars, I felt the spaghetti sauce smell was still detectable the next morning. And I gave up and recycled them.
Recently, I’ve purchased spaghetti sauce from jars and wanted to have another try at getting rid of that sauce odour so I could repurpose these jars.
My many trials of getting that funky spaghetti sauce smell out of the lid. I’ve spent at least 2 weeks on and off trying out the below methods for a few jars.
1. Rinsed out the jar with hot water and scrubbed the pyrex storage set and jar with hot water and dish detergent and let it dry.
2. Filled the jar with hot water, a bit of dish detergent and some vinegar and turned it on it’s lid. I left this for the whole day.
3. The odour was still detectable. I put baking soda on the inside of the lid and poured boiling on hot water on it. Let that sit for a bit while I filled the jar with hot water, baking soda and squeeze of fresh lemon and turned it on it’s lid. I left this for the whole day.
4. The odour was still detectable (just in the lid). So I rinsed the jars out and let it dry while I took the lids and put it in a bowl full of vinegar and just a bit of water.
5. Soaking in vinegar/hot water (50/50) then air dry lid off
6. Soaking in hot water with baking soda and vinegar then rinse and air dry lid off
7. Using lemon juice to coat inside of the lid then soak all day in hot water and rinse and air dry lid off
8. Using lemon rinds and rubbing the inside of each lid, then letting it air dry for the day.
9. Leaving all lids by the window sill, insides turned up to sunbathe for two days. I noticed that I could still smell a bit of tomato sauce after the first day.
After over 2 weeks, the smell is now gone. This was a long process. I think what I’ve learned is that it is best to tackle the pyrex containersseparately from the jar itself. After, washing the jar and the lid. I’d leave the jar and just focus on the lid. After washing, I’d recommend putting a bit of baking soda and enough water so that the lid is full of this solution. Then rinse it out and try lemon juice and rubbing lemon rinds into the lid. Then rinsing that out and leaving it in the sun (or sunniest window sill) to dry for a couple of days.
I’ve heard about using coffee grinds and newspapers to absorb odour from the fridge but haven’t tried it myself.

The Bride of the Nile

The Vekeel， like the Persian lovers， did not allow the heat of the day to interfere with his plans. He regarded the governor's house as his own； all he found there aroused， not merely his avarice， but his interest. His first object was to find some document which might justify his proceedings against Orion and the sequestration of his estates， in the eyes of the authorities at Medina.
　　Great schemes were brewing there； if the conspiracy against the Khaliff Omar should succeed， he had little to fear； and the greater the sum he could ere long forward to the new sovereign， the more surely he could count on his patronage——a sum exceeding， if possible， the largest which his predecessor had ever cast into the Khaliff's treasury.
　　He went from room to room with the curiosity and avidity of a child， touching everything， testing the softness of the pillows， peeping into scrolls which he did not understand， tossing them aside， smelling at the perfumes in the dead woman's rooms， and the medicines she had used. He showed his teeth with delight when he found in her trunks some costly jewels and gold coins， stuck the finest of her diamond rings on his finger， already covered with gems， and then eagerly searched every corner of the rooms which Orion had occupied.
　　His interpreter， who could read Greek， had to translate every document he found that did not contain verses. While he listened， he clawed and strummed on the young man's lyre and poured out the scented oil which Orion had been wont to use to smear it over his beard. In front of the bright silver mirror he could not cease from making faces.
　　To his great disgust he could find nothing among the hundred objects and trifles that lay about to justify suspicion， till， just as he was leaving the room， he noticed in a basket near the writing-table some discarded tablets. He at once pointed them out to the interpreter and， though there was but little to read on the Diptychon，——[Double writing-tablets， which folded together]——it seemed important to the negro for it ran as follows：
　　"Orion， the son of George， to Paula the daughter of Thomas！
　　"You have heard already that it is now impossible for me to assist in the rescue of the nuns. But do not misunderstand me. Your noble， and only too well-founded desire to lend succor to your fellow-believers would have sufficed. . ."
　　From this point the words written on the wax were carefully effaced， and hardly a letter was decipherable； indeed， there were so few lines that it seemed as though the letter had never been ended-which was the fact.

Store Your Food in Glass

Pyrex storage are your best choice.
If cell division is disturbed, it can result in aneuploidy, or an abnormal number of chromosomes in the eggs. This condition is the leading cause of mental retardation and birth defects in humans, including Down syndrome.
Researchers are uncertain of the effect of BPA on humans, however they noted that mice and humans have a very similar cell division program for eggs.
Previous studies have suggested that exposing animals in the womb to levels of BPA similar to those found in the environment disrupts their sperm count, prostate and testicular development. However, other studies, some funded by the plastics industry, have not found any risks associated with BPA exposure.
Even extremely low levels of the compound, called Bisphenol A (BPA), produced genetic abnormalities, according to researchers. BPA exhibits hormone-like properties and imitates the effects of naturally occurring estrogens.Although borosilicate glass storage container and glass food steamer are very nice for us.
Researchers began to study BPA after normal mice began to display genetic abnormalities that are typically uncommon. The defects were linked to plastic cages and water bottles that had been cleaned with a harsh detergent, causing BPA to leak from the plastic.
Researchers then determined how much BPA the mice had been exposed to and how small a dose would produce effects. An extremely small dose of 20 parts/billion daily for five to seven days was enough to produce effects. Some experts say that, taken together, study results suggest that efforts to begin reducing human exposure to BPA are warranted,food steamer.

Submersible turbine pumps

The authorities of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), weekend, released the result of an audit of petrol stations in Bayelsa State, announcing the discovery of fake filling stations in the state.
According to the DPR, though the officials of the submersible turbine pumps department have been empowered with new technology to detect fake filling stations and those engaged in under pricing, the audit of petrol stations in the state have revealed that illegal petrol stations outnumbered legal ones.
The Operations Controller of the DPR in the state, Mr Bassay Nkanga, at a stakeholders’ meeting with members of the Independent Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) said the discovery has led to the riot act read to petrol station owners in Bayelsa state over petroleum products diversion and under dispensing.
According to Nkanga, “Bayelsans have continued to complain over the price regime and under dispensing by petrol stations in Yenagoa metropolis. Henceforth, any petrol station found diverting petroleum products, and engaging in under dispensing and illegal price regime would face the sanctions from the DPR.”

China lc meter

Initially, the reality of fuel stations was recognized to its utility, which supplied the fuel to the vehicles. But now, the features of the stations have altered immeasurably. The certain changes have somehow become retail - trading sales tool. These dispensers got various security purposes which are bar cipher, interactive computer screen, china lc meter, clientele detection keypad and magnetic business card incurable.
Fuel dispenser manufacturer is coming up with the new advanced technology of fuel dispensing systems. Staff working at the fuel stations does not have any credit or debit cards or any other appliances with them. Through the Interactive video display, the international clients can amuse themselves while coming up for the fuel filling in their vehicles. The client’s recognition keypad is capable to inquire each transactions made by filling the fuel. So, every customer has been allotted a different code for the recognition.
The fuel stations furthermore possess a proper DEF dispensing structure which allows adding the diesel exhaust fluid and which is provided to the diesel consumers to alter smog by supplying the nitrogen oxide into innocuous nitrogen and water vapor. Fueling stations are now being managed with the shopping area where general items like confectionery items, cold drinks, oval gear meter, ice creams, and kids play area and many more added.
Fuel theft has been very common these days and it has been increasing constantly due to the rising of fuel prices frequently at the fuel stations. The fuel thieves are coming up with new and sophisticated ideas and techniques to steal fuel at maximum. The loss of fuel in such quantity can seriously damage the business of the petroleum marketer.
This theft can happen when a person has full knowledge about the mechanism of fuel dispensers or they can acquire the direct access to the storage tanks. The fuel thieves are normally aware of the techniques and knowledge required to steal the fuel from controlling the fuel dispensers. The person who is stealing the fuel can be well equipped with all the experience and facts about the fuel operation or the whole procedure of the maintenance of the dispensers.
There must be certain actions be taken to control the theft of the fuel as the individual or owner of the filling station must take proper measures to enhance the level of security at his filling station. They must look forward to the lc meter ways to tight the security with frequent consultation from the franchise, fuel dispenser supplier and fuel dispenser manufacturer. They can provide the advanced security options in the fuel dispensers and equipments. These steps can save thousands dollars of fuel from being theft.

THE FAIRY STORY

No one can think of a child and a story, without thinking of the fairy tale. Is this, as some would have us believe, a bad habit of an ignorant old world？ Or can the Fairy Tale justify her popularity with truly edifying and educational results？ Is she a proper person to introduce here, and what are her titles to merit？
    Oh dear, yes！ Dame Fairy Tale comes bearing a magic wand in her wrinkled old fingers, with one wave of which she summons up that very spirit of joy which it is our chief effort to invoke. She raps smartly on the door, and open sesames echo to every imagination. Her red- heeled shoes twinkle down an endless lane of adventures, and every real child's footsteps quicken after. She is the natural, own great- grandmother of every child in the world, and her pocketfuls of treasures are his by right of inheritance. Shut her out, and you truly rob the children of something which is theirs； something marking their constant kinship with the race-children of the past, and adapted to their needs as it was to those of the generation of long ago！ If there were no other criterion at all, it would be enough that the children love the fairy tale； we give them fairy stories, first, because they like them. But that by no means lessens the importance of the fact that fairy tales are also good for them.
    How good？ In various ways. First, perhaps, in their supreme power of presenting truth through the guise of images. This is the way the race-child took toward wisdom, and it is the way each child's individual instinct takes, after him. Elemental truths of moral law and general types of human experience are presented in the fairy tale, in the poetry of their images, and although the child is aware only of the image at the time, the truth enters with it and becomes a part of his individual experience, to be recognised in its relations at a later stage. Every truth and type so given broadens and deepens the capacity of the child's inner life, and adds an element to the store from which he draws his moral inferences.
    The most familiar instance of a moral truth conveyed under a fairy-story image is probably the story of the pure-hearted and loving girl whose lips were touched with the wonderful power of dropping jewels with every spoken word, while her stepsister, whose heart was infested with malice and evil desires, let ugly toads fall from her mouth whenever she spoke. I mention the old tale because there is probably no one of my readers who has not heard it in childhood, and because there are undoubtedly many to whose mind it has often recurred in later life as a sadly perfect presentment of the fact that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." That story has entered into the forming consciousness of many of us, with its implications of the inevitable result of visible evil from evil in the heart, and its revelation of the loathsomeness of evil itself.

I am nature's greatest miracle

Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. All men are my brothers yet I am different from each. I am a unique creature.

Although I am of the animal kingdom, animal rewards alone will not satisfy me. Within me burns a flame, which has been passed from generations uncounted and its heat is a constant irritation to my spirit to become better than I am, and I will. I will fan this flame of dissatisfaction and proclaim my uniqueness to the world.

None can duplicate my brush strokes, none can make my chisel marks, none can duplicate my handwriting, none can produce my child, and, in truth, none has the ability to sell exactly as I. Henceforth, I will capitalize on this difference for it is an asset to be promoted to the fullest.

I am nature's greatest miracle.

Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make. Instead will I place my uniqueness on display in the market place. I will proclaim it, yea, I will sell it. I will begin now to accent my differences; hide my similarities. So too will I apply this principle to the goods I sell. Salesman and goods, different from all others, and proud of the difference.

I am a unique creature of nature.

I am rare, and there is value in all rarity; therefore, I am valuable. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men who preceded me.

But my skills, my mind, my heart, and my body will stagnate, rot, and die lest I put them to good use. I have unlimited potential. Only a small portion of my brain do I employ; only a paltry amount of my muscles do I flex. A hundredfold or more can I increase my accomplishments of yesterday and this I will do, beginning today.

Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?

I am nature's greatest miracle.

I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

Food steamer

Before our household had a set of Pyrex glass storage containers, a set of plastic Tupperware containers inhabited our cupboards. What initially attracted my husband and I to plastic storage solutions was the cheaper initial cost when compared with glass products, along with fancy sales-pitch phrases and adjectives such as Easy Find Lids, Lock-its Technology, and an assortment of pleasing color options. Ultimately, we ended up with a disorganized mess of slightly morphed, melted, food steamer; the clear parts of the containers tinted dingy due to use.
Swapping out your plastic food storage containers for glass containers will put cash in your pocket in more ways than one. Lets start with the basics.
1.) Glass storage containers are durable. Quality usually prevents you from having to purchase quantity. Shielding you from the hassle of future repeat trips to the store, and the eventual cost of purchasing products over and over again. Do it right the first time, so you don’t have to do it a second, third, or fourth time.
2.) Depending on the brand, glass food storage containers are microwavable, oven,freezer, fridge, and dishwasher safe, allowing them to be multifunctional kitchen solutions. This alone will save you from having to purchase other unnecessary baking and cooking products. An added bonus is that you can store the food you cook, in the same container you prepared it in, saving you both time and money on meal clean up!
3.) Glass storage containers help reduce food waste. Glass does not stain or retain odors, and is thus much more transparent than plastic, allowing you to see what you have in your fridge at a glance. Increased awareness of the contents of your fridge assists in leftovers being consumed, and aids in the prevention of fresh fruits and vegetables spoiling in storage. This effectively lowers your food costs and expenses.
Additionally, the majority of glass storage containers are stackable like their glass steamer counterparts, and will withstand a drop from elevated heights like a champ. If you are thinking about investing in glass food storage containers, here are some tips on how to get the best prices on your purchase.
Ask family members, it’s free. Pyrex glass storage containers are passed down through generations of families, and are one of the few products in existence that are better used than new. This is because, the glass containers began being manufactured out of soda lime instead of borosilicate sometime around 1998, when the Pyrex brand was bought from Corning by the company World Kitchen. Glass made of soda lime is less expensive to produce, however, soda lime is more susceptible to damage during sudden temperature changes and has a lower resistance to high temperatures compared to borosilicate. Pyrex still ranks among the top brands for quality glass kitchen products and is my recommendation when choosing glass food storage containers, but your grandma’s Pyrex will still be superior to what you can find on store shelves today.
Garage sales and Craigslist. Used is as good as new, as mentioned prior, so scoring
yourself a set of Pyrex glass food storage containers at a yard sale is a real bargain. Do not fret if the Pyrex containers are missing lids, as they can be purchased at the World Kitchen Shop online. Previously, there was no such place to purchase new plastic lids for glass food storage containers, so use the lid-less factor as a haggling point when making your deal even if that point is just that you will have to buy new glass food steamer. This is a good route to get high-quality Pyrex, possibly even some made of the old borosilicate recipe, for rock bottom prices.
Last, shop when there are sales and search for coupons and discounts on the internet. If you would like to purchase a set of glass food storage containers now, without the hassle or fuss, price compare and purchase from the retailer with the cheapest deal. Remember to do a quick internet search on RetailMeNot.com, or a Google search for coupons, before making your purchase online or in-stores.

What will be the future of Gas stations? Everyone desires to have an effective, fast and clean way to refuel your vehicle. It is really very necessary that the gas stations should be neat and tidy and we should avoid using any flammable thing near these stations which can cause great damage and killing.
Fuel dispenser manufacturer and the supplier are submersible turbine pumps jointly working with new concepts and ideas to bring modern and effective dispensers in the market for easy and better fuelling needs. Today, we have modern and advanced technology dispensers which are operated by several systematic mechanisms and are fruitful to be carried in our future fuel dispensers. Tank calibration system , tank gauging system and fuel management systems are being providing the work of fuel transfer from dispenser to the vehicle efficiently.
Modern technology has provided several benefits to fuel the vehicles in an easier and efficient way. The current mechanism used at the gas stations is far better than the older stations. It is likely to be understood that future gas stations will be better than now with more advanced features to fuel the vehicles rapidly.
In a modern fueling station, the lpg flowmeter mechanisms that provide gas to the pumps are placed beneath the land. The fuel dispensers are usually located in the front at a number of locations at the fuel stations. The dispensers are conventionally set on a side with the attendant who handles the dispenser for fueling the vehicles and is capable to control the pumps for their clients.
Certain fueling stations have attendants who fill the gasoline in the vehicles for the customers. This was habitual when the stations were just established to become popular. Then, there came a time when a vast and greater part of the gas stations which have gradually evolved to a self service plan with the pay at the pump options.
offers small supermarkets in which customers can buy different goods or use the toilet. The greater part sells beverages and snack items and there are many tenders prepared foods and meals for immediate bite on the go. It is also regular to see mechanics, tyre puncture repaired shop and car fix garages at the gas stations, increasing the services offered and provide instant help to combination pump the motorists with their automobile issues at one place.

Put time where love is

During my 25 years as a marital therapist, I have seen hundreds of people disappointed over unfulfilling relationships. I have seen passion turn to poison. I have grieved with patients for the love they lost or never found.
"We seemed to love so much, but now it's gone," one woman lamented to me. "Why do I feel so lonely every night even when he is right there beside me? Why can't marriage be more than this?"
I know we can love deeply, tenderly and lastingly. I have seen such love, and I have felt such love myself. Here are the law I have discovered for such lasting and loving relationships---put time where love is.
A fulfilling marriage begins when two people make time together their No.1 priority. If we hope to find love, we must first find time for loving.
Unfortunately, current psychology rests on the model of the independent ego. To make a lasting marriage we have to overcome self-centeredness. We must go beyond what psychologist Abraham Maslow called "self-actualization" to "us-actualization". We have to learn to put time where love is.
Many couples have experienced a tragic moment that taught them to value their time together. One husband related how he sat trapped in his car after a crash. His wife was outside, crying and banging on the window. "I thought I was going to die before we had enough time together." He told me. "Right then I promised to make the time to love my wife. Our time is our own now, and those hours are sacred."

The combination pump

You know what it’s like on the final day of a trip. There is the last minute buying of presents, finishing the packing and waiting for the trip to the airport. So I thought I’d go and have another haircut.
I asked the guesthouse manager where was the best place to get my hair cut. He suggested I go to the same place he goes. Well, his hair didn’t seem that dreadful. It was short, neat and tidy, so I followed his fuel dispenser parts and couldn’t find it. I cycled further down the street and caught the attention of some ladies selling breakfast noodles wrapped in banana leaves. I made a scissor cutting gesture with my fingers in my hair, and they pointed me back the way I’d come.
There was a motorcycle repair shop and what looked like a normal house. Now I wasn’t expecting a red and white striped pole outside, but for a barber’s shop it was certainly well disguised. Looking through the locked gate I could see a typical barber’s chair in the front room, and a bench on the verandah - the waiting area, obviously. But no one was at home. I checked with the bike boys and pointed to my watch. He replied by drawing his finger across his throat. Although this gesture left some room for interpretation, it looked like I wasn’t going to get my hair cut at this establishment. It was a pity, because the guest house manager said it was only 75p.
So, I cycled off in the general direction on the backstreets where the Burmese barbers have those extravagant illustrations of windswept hairdos. But I couldn’t find them. I ended up in a part of town I have not visited much combination pump , but I found a barber’s shop. I peered in through the plate glass window to see a man with his face up to the stylist’s mirror, plucking hairs from his nose.
He wasn’t the barber; he was a watch mender with a stall in front of the shop. He let me know that the barber was on his way, using the universal symbol for revving the twist grip of a motorcycle. I looked around. Pretty seedy. Old tiles with brown spots of water staining, barely clinging to the ceiling. A photomontage on the rear wall featuring now retired Brazilian soccer stars. An original eight track stereo, with a fancy graphic equaliser, pumping out Thai pop songs. The chair was another classic, tubular chromed steel with red leatherette, but this one didn’t tilt backwards like Sweeney’s.
At last my barber arrived. He looked older than me and was really puzzled to see a ferlang (foreigner) as his first customer. I looked around for a David Beckham poster, but all I could see was a bald Rivelino with the other Brazilians (submersible turbine pumps). Then I saw a photo of a nice Thai boy, with short, neat, tidy hair. “I’ll have that one!” I said pointing to the photograph. The barber cocked his head on one side, scrutinising my barnet. He seemed sceptical. Then he made a chopping motion on his index finger. “I’ll have it a bit shorter than that, please.” I think he was beginning to enjoy this, because he smiled as his chopping gesture came closer to the second metacarpal head.
We agreed on a length, and he gowned me up. After the electric shears, he started cutting the long hair on the top of my head. He stopped, cocked his head, but I wanted my money’s worth. More! “Ah, namba wan!” We’ll, not Thai military cut, but shorter. He kept swinging the chair around to use the natural daylight coming in the big window. The fluorescent tube on the ceiling was fizzing and popping, so I was pleased he had a well lit view of the task.
Finally, he said it was finished, and opened a drawer to take out what looked like a shoe polishing brush. He polished my neck with it in a futile attempt to remove the loose hair. Then he had an idea. Did I want the razor? “Only on the neck and sides, please,” I told him. Luckily I got the new blade of the day. He lathered me up and scraped away. Then he patted me dry and applied surgical spirit. That woke me up, but he turned me round into the breeze from the fan and it cooled the burning sensation immediately. He nodded with satisfaction.
He still had to do my eyebrows, nose and ears with small scissors, and then I was done . Lpg flowmeter the poorer and feeling much fresher in the humid heat. I cycled back to the office, and started rewriting the sexually transmitted infection guidelines. They still recognised me. I wonder if Andy in South Knighton gents barber shop will, though.

Human Resource

One day while walking down the street a highly successful HR Director was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.
　　“No problem， just let me in，” said the woman. “Well， I’d like to，”replied St. Peter， “but I have higher orders. What we’re going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in.”
　　The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her.
　　They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy （kinda cute） and she had agreat time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it， it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good-bye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and she found St. Peter waiting for her.
　　“Now it’s time to spend a day in heaven，” he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St.Peter came and got her. “So， you’ve spent a day in hell and you’ve spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity，” he said. The woman paused for a second and then replied， “Well， I never thought I’d say this， I mean， Heaven has been really great and all， but I think I had a better time in Hell.” So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell.
　　When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.
　　“I don’t understand，” stammered the woman， “yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is， is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable.”The Devil looked at her and smiled. “Yesterday we were recruiting you，today you’re staff……”

Trouble filling gas tank

I just had the fuel pump replaced 1 week ago. This problem started the day before I had the fuel pump replaced.
The shop is saying they will have to go to the junk yard and get the hose that connects to the gas tank or something. the mechanic said that there is a vent hose that goes into a unloading pump filter to catch all the vapors from the tank. The last time I filled it up, I over filled it and got gas into this charcoal filter and the ventilation hose that attaches to that. This made it so that when I fill the tank it can only displace the air in the fill pipe to the tank. The fuel eventually makes its way down to the tank, but takes a few minutes. Maybe all of you can try something like that. He changed your pump, but even you said that this problem started before the pump was replaced.
I found this for GMC. It might help.
Best Answer Chosen by Voters
Heres an exert from one of the TSB's about filling the gas tank.(why to have the motor off when filling it)
Filling of the fuel tank can not be completed as the evap vent valve will be closed and the fuel dispenser nozzle will sense the pressure buildup and shut the pump handle off. No parts should be replaced, there is nothing wrong sliding vane pump, to keep from encountering this problem, it is imperative that all customers and dealerships personnel. If this condition is encountered, turn off the ignition for 1 minute. this will allow the pcm to set the evap to open postition.
I took this exert from GM Techline but Mitchell is almost word from word about it.
hey, theres ONLY 556 TSB's on that vehicle! LOL
The TSB the other guy talks about is actually not the pickup tube, but if you get an evap code, its most likely the 4 wire plug that plugs into the fuel pump assembly. It is known for burning and melting a hole in the plastic piece and then the tank cant hold vacuum which causes the evap code. 1492 I think the code was.
So when you do have to change that fuel pump, be sure to get the new plug also!

Have an 06 CTS 32000m and noticed my emission control/engine light came on after the outside temp just rose to 97degrees. checked my gas cap and it hadn't been tightened fully 3 days earlier tatsuno pump of a tank fill at pump. Tightened it then next day light wqas still on and went to the station to put a cpl gallons premium in and couldn't get her to take barely a gallon. None would go in. The gas station attendant said my tanks full and my gauge is broken, but I know I havent put gas in it all week. And between the gas station and work I went from a x quarter tank to an 1/8 of a tank. The gauge is fine, something must be blocking the line to the tank. hence I Googled it and found this forum. So now do I attempt to spear whatever it is out and risk debris contaminating my tank? The repair shop will probably do the same thing anyways and charged me a fortune.

Best Choices for Food

When it comes to reducing the carbon footprint in the edibles department, I’m a big fan of reusable storage containers , I plan to wash, save and reuse the plastic container holding my yummy to-go order of chicken pad Thai. Of course, it’s an even better idea to bake a huge cooking pot lid of lasagna and portion out slices for weekly lunches and dinners. But do clear-cut advantages exist in the storage containers you buy to reuse? Below, my six top reusable storage containers, available at a good price, safe from harmful chemicals and sure you give a boost to the environment as well.
1)pyrex storage set: They're made of borosilicate glass, which used to be commonly manufactured under the trade name Pyrex (but now Pyrex is made differently most places), and are especially durable and stand up to intense heat. You can even get Lock.Lock sets that are lunchbox-size. The advantages of glass over plastic are obvious, though some environmentalists have cited borosilicate glass as harder to make than other common glass. Soda lime glass uses 15 to 20% less energy in furnaces, but soda lime glass can also explode and send shards flying when exposed to extreme temperatures. For this green guy, glass baking dish remains a safe and largely eco-friendly choice.
2) While its true that soda lime glass can't tolerate as temperature fluctuation as borosili cates, that’s not going to be a problem as long as you follow the safety instructions - that is, don’t take the dish from a hot oven to a cold pool of water. What’s more, the Statistical Assessment Service says that under the right manufacturing conditions, soda lime glass may be more shatter-resistant when dropped than borosilicate. Because it’s very eco-friendly to manufacture, soda lime glass - the compound now used in all Pyrex manufactured outside of Europe - ranks high as a green container for your pantry.
3) Safe containers you already have at home: To find out if what you have on hand will do, check the plastic recycling code on the container; that’s the number inside the triangular perimeter of arrows. Anything with BPA in it likely has a 7,as this handy chart from H2NO.org shows . If you’re in doubt as to the safety of your old containers, consider recycling and replacing them - especially if you have young kids in the house, as they’re the most susceptible to BPA hazards, studies show. If you can't recycle it, or it has a 7, dispose of it properly!
4) A regular drinking glass: The best reusable storage container of all is a simple glass. It strikes me as the Irony of Ironies that people who drink tons of bottled water to keep their bodies fit have no problem giving Mother Earth a kick in the pants. The stats on plastic water bottles aren’t encouraging Besides, tap water is often held to more stringent purity standards than the bottled, which is often just tap in disguise. Yet bottled water usually costs 10,000 times as much: How do the bottled water companies get away with it? If you're at home or at the office, just get a glass, like some hot-cold glasses, and some tap water. If you are afraid of spilling, just get a glass with a food steamer, sippy cup-style - they do make them for adults.

How To Get Rid

Buying food canisters from stores selling home supplies can get expensive. Ever since I read Rachel’s post in 2009 on how she uses glass jars in her kitchen. I was inspired to do the same thing. It looked so beautiful and practical to display your food in jars. I’ve become a glass jar lover and saver!! I was tempted to go on a hunt to buy pyrex storage but noticed I had soup and sauce jars I should probably use first. I was previously obsessed with the soup jars I was buying by Sunflower Kitchen which Bernardin glass jars. In the past year or so, I’ve come across Ball glass jars on food blogs and DIY blogs and they aren’t available in Canada but I’d really like to get a few one day.
After buying lots of almond butter, spaghetti sauce soups in glass jars, I’ve accumulated lots of jars and have reused them to store pantry items. However, one problem that I have after washing the jars in dish detergent and hot water is the remaining odour that is leftover.
After washing the jar with dish detergent, I normally use vinegar to get rid of the odour by adding it to the glass jar with hot soapy water closing the lid, flipping the jar over onto it’s lid and leaving it overnight. I’ve found this method to be fine with soup jars and nut butter jars.
However, for spaghetti sauce jars, I felt the spaghetti sauce smell was still detectable the next morning. And I gave up and recycled them.
Recently, I’ve purchased spaghetti sauce from jars and wanted to have another try at getting rid of that sauce odour so I could repurpose these jars.
My many trials of getting that funky spaghetti sauce smell out of the lid. I’ve spent at least 2 weeks on and off trying out the below methods for a few jars.
1. Rinsed out the jar with hot water and scrubbed the pyrex storage set and jar with hot water and dish detergent and let it dry.
2. Filled the jar with hot water, a bit of dish detergent and some vinegar and turned it on it’s lid. I left this for the whole day.
3. The odour was still detectable. I put baking soda on the inside of the lid and poured boiling on hot water on it. Let that sit for a bit while I filled the jar with hot water, baking soda and squeeze of fresh lemon and turned it on it’s lid. I left this for the whole day.
4. The odour was still detectable (just in the lid). So I rinsed the jars out and let it dry while I took the lids and put it in a bowl full of vinegar and just a bit of water.
5. Soaking in vinegar/hot water (cooking pot lid) then air dry lid off
6. Soaking in hot water with baking soda and vinegar then rinse and air dry lid off
7. Using lemon juice to coat inside of the lid then soak all day in hot water and rinse and air dry lid off
8. Using lemon rinds and rubbing the inside of each lid, then letting it air dry for the day.
9. Leaving all lids by the window sill, insides turned up to sunbathe for two days. I noticed that I could still smell a bit of tomato sauce after the first day.
After over 2 weeks, the smell is now gone. This was a long process. I think what I’ve learned is that it is best to tackle the pyrex containersseparately from the jar itself. After, washing the jar and the lid. I’d leave the jar and just focus on the lid. After washing, I’d recommend putting a bit of baking soda and enough water so that the lid is full of this solution. Then rinse it out and try lemon juice and rubbing lemon rinds into the lid. Then rinsing that out and leaving it in the sun (or sunniest window sill) to dry for a couple of days.
I’ve heard about using coffee grinds and newspapers to absorb odour from the fridge but haven’t tried it myself.

Friends forever

My friend is moving in a month—and not just to a different neighborhood, but to a whole different country! I'm so sad, I can hardly think about anything else. I know you can't make my friend's family stay, but I'm hoping you'll at least have some helpful ideas. —Already Lonely in London
Dear Already Lonely,
The first thing I want to say is—I'm so sorry your friend is moving!
The second thing I want to say is-are you from London, as in London, England? That is so exciting! Have you ever seen the Queen? Is it true that people there drive on the left side of the road? How big is Big Ben, really?
OK,I guess I should stop asking questions and get back to your letter-which reminds me of how beyond and I was when my friend Elizabeth had to move.
I met Elizabeth in my very first karate class. I was the only new kid in the class. Everyone else knew a lot of the moves already and had yellow or orange belts.
I had a total beginner's white belt and felt unbearably nervous the whole way through the class. I tried my hardest to follow along, but everything was way harder than I thought it would be.

Afterward, as I was putting on my shoes, I was thinking, There is no way I am ever coming back to karate!
And that's when I met Elizabeth.
"You did great!" I laughed. "I was so clueless!"
"That's how I felt at first, too," she said. "If you want, I can help you practice."
"Really?" I said.
"Sure. By the way, I'm Elizabeth." She scribbled on the back of a karate schedule. "Here's my number."
"Wow, that's so nice of you!" I said.
She smiled. "No problem."
Anyway, to make a long story short, I called her a few days later, and we've been amazing friends ever since.
Now for the sad part. Not very long ago, Elizabeth had to move. Her family still lives in California, but if you know anything about my state, then you know it's gigantic. And I'm not positive about the exact geographic details, but the distance Elizabeth moved was about the same as if she had moved from London to Paris!
"You can't move!" I screamed when she told me the terrible news.

Love is a telephone

Love is a telephone which always keeps silent when you are longing for a call, but rings when you are not ready for it. As a result, we often miss the sweetness from the other end.

Love is a telephone which is seldom program-controlled or directly dialed. You cannot get an immediate answer by a mere "hello", let alone go deep into your lover's heart by one call. Usually it had to be relayed by an operator, and you have to be patient in waiting. Destiny is the operator of this phone, who is always irresponsible and fond of laying practical jokes to which she may make you a lifelong victim intentionally or unintentionally.

Love is a telephone which is always busy, When you are ready to die for love, you only find, to your disappointment, the line is already occupied by someone else, and you are greeted only by a busy line. This is an eternal regret handed down from generation to generation and you are only one of those who languish for followers.

Love is telephone, but it is difficult to seize the center time for dialing, and you will let slip the opportunity if your call is either too early or too late.

Love is a telephone which is not always associated with happiness. Honeyed words are transmitted by sound waves, but when the lovers are brought together, the phone servers no purpose that many lovers observe that marriage is the doom of love.

Love is a telephone which, when you use it for the first time, makes you so nervous and excited that you either hold the receiver upside down or dial the wrong number. By the time you've calmed down, you will beat a loss to whom you should make the call.

Gasoline Service

Earlier gasoline station was only a place where people used to fill their cars with gas, but now it is a complete service convenience store with drinks, food, fuel and sundries You can find centers on many gas stations
Earlier gasoline station was only a place where people used to fill their cars with gas, but now it is a complete service convenience store with drinks, food, fuel and sundries. You can find bennett pump on many gas stations. All of this means that there is a huge requirement of petroleum and gasoline service station financing plans. Many financing companies, banks and firms provide various types of economic services to the gas stations.
Petroleum and gasoline service station financing provides help to the gas station owners to purchase various facilities for their stations. Pumping equipments and supplies are the most important factors for any gas station. The advanced gas stations and pumps supply various grades of fuels at a time and they provide at pump payment. Therefore, many financing firms provide gas pump financing with other fuel dispenser and pumping equipment financing to the owners. The process of application for economic help is very simple. Most of the companies offer great rates and fast approval facilities to get pumping equipment financing rapidly.
Lube equipment financing is one of the major facilities of petroleum and gasoline services station financing plans. The classic lube oil is the most popular oil among the auto repair services. The lube equipment is the most expensive equipment among various devices of the petroleum service station. Many shops take the help of china nozzle financing to purchase specialized grease guns and pressure based lubricant delivery systems. You can go to any firm that has the lube equipment financing experience to know more about this service. Many firms offer online application facility to help you.
Leak detection equipment is an important part of any petroleum station that involves fuel. Leaks can make a complete shutdown; therefore, there should be leakfinding equipment at every gas station. However, due to the use of the complex sensors in this equipment, it is more expensive. In such conditions, financing leak detector equipment is a feasible option. You can get economic help from many financing firms for this purpose.
All the petroleum and gas stations house underground tanks to store fuel and oil. Underground storage tanks for gasoline and petroleum stations are very important, as they hold flammable and burnable oils. These tanks are made of utilizing special coatings, engineering designs and fittings; therefore, they are more expensive. Every gas station today requires modern storage tanks for unloading pump. The financing firms know that how essential these tanks are to any petroleum station, therefore, they provide many financing plans for underground storage tanks. You can get underground storage tanks very quickly and easily with the simple online application process.
Petroleum and gasoline service station financing also provides canopy financing to the gas stations. The purpose of gas station canopies is to keep the customers dry while pumping gas. This facility is also helpful to turn traffic to the gas station, as gas station canopies are available in many styles, price points and shapes.

Glass Storage Container

I was right to be concerned since it has now been determined that certain types of bacteria can feed off of plastics and plastic related compounds. Other plastics (such as Polyvinyl chloride and Polystyrene) are known to leach into our foods and affect our health. The health risks alone are enough to convince anyone why making the switch from plastic to glass steamer is a better choice. Here's five other reasons why I prefer using Pyrex glass food containers instead of plastic.
If you're planning to freeze breast milk in pyrex glass oven, be aware that not all glass is freezer-safe. Do not put regular glass baby bottles, baby food jars, or any other glass container into your freezer unless it's designed to withstand freezing temperatures. Even freezer-safe glass can break when exposed to rapidly changing temperatures, so it's important to defrost glass containers very slowly.
Make sure you do not fill glass bottles all the way to the top. Breast milk expands during the freezing process and could cause the glass to burst. Fill the bottle 2/3 or 3/4 of the way up to allow for expansion, then seal the bottle with an airtight cap to help protect the milk from contamination and odors during storage.Using glass containers to store your breast milk has advantages and disadvantages.
glass steamer are environmentally friendly.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!". He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

      When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

      I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

      Graduation day arrived -- I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him!

      Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

      He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach… but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

      I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

      I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

      Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

Difference Between a Fuel Dispenser

The oval gear meter works by pumping gas into the vehicle’s carburetor. Valves and springs move in a pumping action that pulls fuel from the fuel tank and pushes it into the carburetor. Fuel pumps can be external to the engine or submersed inside the fuel tank, depending on vehicle design.
Fuel Dispensers
Fuel dispensers deliver fuel from a holding tank into a vehicle or reserve tank. These are better known as gas/diesel pumps. Fuel truck tanks that supply gas stations are mobileFuel Dispenser.
Purpose
The automatic fueling system fills up tanks when connected by using an air vacuum. This is unlike the pumps used to fill up private cars and trucks. Rather, this system is used for commercial vehicles, such as trains.
The fuel journeys from some components and comes to to the place traveled to of any vehicle i.e. the fuel tank. Different fuel dispensers’ work on their distinct method and have diverse components adhered in to the dispenser. A number of of them are widespread and some alter from each other. China is the best place of fuel dispenser parts suppliercompanies.
Fuel dispenser is being in the service around the world to get the fuel of any kind like diesel, petrol and lpg dispenser. It is the most reliable and profitable business around the world. It is the fuel pump from where we daily fuel up our automobiles.
The modern dispensers are being added with several features that are helpful and the fuel transfer have been made easier and the use of several technologies have contributed to clean the air and the surrounding atmosphere and convert it into healthy environment.
A nozzle and air tube are inserted into the fuel tank. A vacuum conduit assists in transferring air from inside the tank to outside it. As the fuel goes in and the air leaves, a vacuum effect occurs. At a certain point, a part of the system called the diaphragm collapses and alerts the system that the tank is full. This stops the tank from overflowing.
Although the names are very similar, an adblue meter system is different than an “automated” system. The latter refers to gas stations where you can insert your debit or credit card at the pump so that you don’t need to enter the gas station building to pay for your fuel.

Glass food storage

Thinking about getting rid of the pyrex food storage we now have, and switching to glass. We also have a bunch of the Ziploc two-cup round containers with the screw-on lids that I use to freeze portions of stock and soup in. The 3 main choices seem to be I do have 2 of the Glasslock containers but of course the downside is that they're not stackable like the plastic ones are. I know the cooking pot lid on the Pyrex glass baking tray are the easiest to operate and have the tightest seal BUT I have read user reviews that say the tabs don't hold up well to freezer storage so am wondering about that.
What has been your experience with these 3 brands for glass food storage re: these specfic factors:
(1) Ease of closing and opening lids
(2) Airtightness of lids, particularly with liquids
(3) Stackability saving storage of the empties
(4) Going from refrigerator directly to microwave
(5) Materials issues (lids cracking or splitting, glass cracking or shattering, etc)
(6) Whether the plastic lid tends to hold any odors from prior foods
I would never use any plastic lid in the microwave so that performance is irrevelant. The following list is far from comprehensive.Here’s where I’ve seen great pyrex glass baking dish:
Ikea: Those environmentally progressive, design-for-the-masses Swedes purvey very nice glass food storage containers. As soon as I can pull myself away from my laptop-how about never? Just kidding!-I’m heading to Ikea Brooklyn to buy at least ten of these。The Container Store: While I’m put off by this store’s inflated pricing-that’s why I’m not linking to them-if price is no object, check them out. They offer an incredibly wide variety of glass storage containers and jars.
Flea markets and garage salesare a fun way to unearth fabulous bargains on vintage pyrex storage.
Ebay. Warning: Vintage glass can become an addictive hobby-and Ebay is the Mecca for hobbyists of every stripe. Try searching for vintage Pyrex,vintage glass casserole,vintage covered glass dish-those are just a few of my obsessions. I’m sure you have your own. Don’t get me started on old lead-glazed Fiesta ware.

Smoking would kill us

Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn't know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain? That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early graves.
　　
　 　There are upsetting parallels today, as scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us to the growing threat of global warming. The latest was a panel from the National Academy of Sciences, enlisted by the White House, to tell us that the Earth's atmosphere is definitely warming and that the problem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we should get moving to protect ourselves. The president of the National Academy, Bruce Alberts, added this key point in the preface to the panel's report: “Science never has all the answers. But science does provide us with the best available guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policies on the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of present actions.”
　　
　　Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about global warming is incomplete, that it's OK to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure. This is a dangerous game: by the time 100 percent of the evidence is in, it may be too late. With the risks obvious and growing, a prudent people would take out an insurance policy now.
　　
　　Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention. But it's obvious that a majority of the president's advisers still don't take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research -- a classic case of “paralysis by analysis.”

Pyrex glass bowls

After an indulgent long weekend in New Orleans, a week of healthy eating was in order. But healthy doesn’t have to mean flavorless; we love food too much to eat boring dinners. The first night back we had slow-roasted tomato and garlic spaghetti; the next night I made what I call “French salad”: a combination of lots of chopped vegetables, a little bit of cooked chicken breast, some feta if I have it (glass baking dish), and chopped toasted almonds, lightly dressed in a lemon-mustard vinaigrette. Leftovers came to work with me the next day, too.
And last night, we had Mexican food. Too often, Mexican food gets a bad rap. Many people assume it must be smothered in cheese, cooked in lard, and therefore bad for you. Sure, some things involve cheese, and many dishes are fried. But some of the best Mexican food is fresh, light and full of vegetables ahem, fresh salsa and can be a very healthy meal.
For example, taquitos–typically listed as a starter on Mexican restaurant menus–are corn tortillas that are fried, then rolled around chicken, beef or other ingredients, and baked until crisp. They are often topped with queso fresco in a creamy sauce similar to crème fra? I eliminate the frying, top with salsa, and serve with a side of chipotle black beans another great use for one of my pantry staples for a healthy but very satisfying dinner. The crisp taquitos are most easily eaten with your hands.
In the past I’ve used chipotle chicken for this recipe, but any cooked chicken will do here, provided it’s shredded or sliced small enough to easily roll up into the pyrex glass dish. For the version below, I baked a boneless breast of chicken, drizzled with some olive oil spices, in the oven at 350° until just cooked through, and stored it in the fridge until I was ready to make this.
Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels, and microwave on high for 30-60 seconds until they are soft and pliable enough to roll without breaking (this is best done in two batches. Lay out a few tortillas on the counter, and put 2-3 T of filling along the center of each one. Roll up tightly, to about the size of a fat cigar. Secure with a toothpick and place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Do this for all the tortillas, leaving a little room between each on the pan.If you don’t have toothpicks, place the taquitos tightly together so they hold each other in place; they will not get as crisp this way and you may have to bake them longer.Brush the taquitos with about a tsp of olive oil (this helps them crisp). Bake for about 20 minutes until the edges start to brown and they are crisp in the middle.
When the taquitos are ready, remove from oven, top with salsa and more cilantro pyrex glass oven and serve with beans on the side.

Suspected Santa Shooter

The man suspected in the Christmas Eve massacre that left nine dead and a house in flames in Covina, Calif., intended to escape to Canada following the attack but settled on suicide after suffering severe burns in the fire, police said in a news conference Friday.
When he was discovered with a submersible turbine pumps wound to the head in his brother's home, alleged gunman Bruce Pardo had plasticwrapped to his legs or in a girdle he was wearing, along with a plane ticket for an early morning flight to Canada.
All indications were that he was going to commit this crime and flee the country. He didn't anticipate injuring himself, Covina Police Chief Kim Raney said.
Despite his injuries, Pardo intended to cause more destruction after the brutal attack and, after shedding his Santa suit during his escape, wired the suit with an explosive device, Raney said. That device was ignited when the bomb squad attempted to defuse it. No one was injured in the blast.
Police believe Pardo was distraught over the recent settlement of his divorce and was intentionally targeting members of his exwife's family in the attack. on Dec. 24, police believe Pardo, dressed as Santa Claus, rang the doorbell of his exinlaw's home in Covina. When an 8yearold girl answered the door, Pardo shot her in the face before opening fire on at least two dozen other lpg flowmeter.
In a 911 call released Friday, a frantic woman named Pardo as the shooter and said that after he appeared in the doorway in Santa Claus garb brandishing handguns, everyone was panicking, running.
His name is Bruce Pardo, she said between shallow, quick breaths.He's still shooting out there.
Click here to hear the 911 call.
According to police, after at least two people were shot, Pardo unwrapped what seemed to be a large present he had brought in. Instead of a gift, the wrapping paper concealed a homemade fuel dispenser that Pardo used to spray racing fuel throughout the home.
When officers first arrived at the stillburning house,they were met with a scene that was just indescribable, Raney said Wednesday.
Some partygoers ran out the back door while at least one woman ran upstairs and jumped off the roof to escape, reportedly breaking her ankle in the process. The 8yearold girl survived the attack with severe injuries to the face oval gear meter.
Police are unsure whether Pardo ignited the fuel that caused the raging fire, but because of his injuries believe he did not intend for the fire to start while he was inside the house.
Witnesses reported Pardo took off the Santa costume and fled the scene, driving to his brother's home in Sylmar, Calif., where police believe he took his own life by shooting himself in the head.
