Good morning! Yesterday was different. I made French Toast for breakfast & then cleaned the bathroom counter, bedroom mirror, dining room lights, & the bottom shelf in the fridge door, cataloged & put away another book in my inbox, mopped the entryway, neatened the pen shelf in the corner bookcase, fed the pets & swept the bedroom. I finished just in time to go to the knit & lit meetup at A Real Bookstore in Fairview. Kyle came with me (not to knit, to browse the bookstore). We got to the end of Bridgefarmer, made a right on 546 & suddenly the wheel started pulling hard to the right. I had to hold the wheel vertically to the left just to go on a straight line. I pulled over in a circle drive that's gravel & slowly rolled forward. There was noise coming from the back of the truck & the back wheels were acting as if I had the brakes on. They would drag for a foot, then spit a little gravel, then grab again ... I pulled out & started to limp it home. When I
turned back onto Bridgefarmer it was fine again. I turned back around & drove to Fairview & it didn't happen again. That's the 3rd time it's happened & the longest it lasted. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I called a couple friends who know vehicles & one said the ring & pinion while the other said anti-lock breaking system. I was thinking brakes myself. I hope it is the breaks because that would be cheaper to repair. At the Stitch & lit I bought a knitting book & magazine & then finished the neck ribbing on the sweater I'm making. All I have left is both sleeve ribbings & I'm finished! Then I start another sweater (I think) with the beautiful new yarn I received from the Reddit yarn exchange. Kyle & I stopped at WhatABurger on the way home & then I got to work on the business Pete & I started together. I started to create the domain name just as Pete pulled in. Lucky for me, because there was a lot of information & he knew most of it. I would have been calling him endlessly trying to set this up for him without him here. URL created, step 1 done. My Sim-self got more done, but I had more fun. She made goopy cabonara for lunch, got the mail which included paying the bills & a surprise love letter from the paramedic she ran into at the consignment shop. When she walked through the door there was a magnetic attraction moodlet. She was attracted to him. She introduced herself & learned that his name is Gavin Pinkerton. Apparently, he's attracted to her too since he sent her a love letter in the mail. The problem with this is that she's married! Remember? Sim-Pete? My Sim-self & Gavin can't be mutually attracted to each other! Sheesh! She spent time with all the pets, went swimming for a while & reached level 5 of the Athletic skill, showered, spent time with Sim-Pete, made spaghetti w/ veggie sauce for dinner & went to bed. This morning IRL I took the dogs out & then finished my FD Bead Banner (2nd pic). It was so exciting to finish it! I hung it in the hall outside my office door since there wasn't a single space available on any wall in my office large enough to hang it in. I then chose the next project I'm going to do, chose the beads I'm going to use, got a long enough rod to hang it on, & I'm ready. I can't wait for next Friday so I can start it! it's going to be a wider than the FD Bead Banner, but not as long. I'm going to be using 3 different colors of my foil hole beads that I've been collecting, so it's going to be very pretty. :) My Sim-self took Sim-Pete & Sim-Browser to the Best in Show dog competition at the stadium & afterwards went home & made Autumn Salad for lunch. Back IRL, I suddenly acquired a sore throat last night between getting back from the Stitch & Lit & going to bed. When I woke up this morning & still have it & it HURTS! LCFD Training Tuesday night @ 7:p.
Americans bought 11 billion paper clips in 2010.
As soon as you see lightning, head indoors (a metal-roofed car is your next best bet). 1-sided shelters like dugouts offer no protection; neither do rubber-soled shoes. And that old counting rule? You actually need to divide by 5; a 10-second delay means the storm is just 2 miles away.
Before the invention of the paper clip, people were forced to use straight pins, string, or even wax to hold their papers together.
Engraver Johnny Spilsbury invented the jigsaw puzzle in the 1760s to teach geography. The 1st puzzle made was a map of the counties of England.

"Map isn't the territory." A map is simply an explanation of certain aspects of the territory. While individuals may look at their own lives & interactions in terms of paradigms or maps emerging out of their experience & conditioning, these maps are not the territory. They're a "subjective reality," only an attempt to describe the territory.
In a long-anticipated challenge to Web sites like the
popular video-sharing site YouTube, two entertainment giants--News
Corporation and NBC Universal--announce a high-stakes Internet venture
on this day in 2007.
According to the terms of the deal, News
Corporation, owned by the Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and
NBC, a unit of General Electric Co., would begin distributing their own
programming on popular Web sites such as America Online (AOL), Yahoo,
MySpace and Microsoft’s Internet portal, MSN. News Corp. and NBC also
planned to make video of TV shows and movies available on a separate Web
site. The site would be supported by advertisers and free to viewers,
who could edit the available content and post their own, as well as buy
downloads of movies made by 20th Century Fox and Universal Studios.
By
allowing users to upload and view streaming video, YouTube--which was
bought by Google Inc. in 2006 for $1.65 billion--entered into a tense
relationship with media companies, who became angry when copyrighted
material such as television shows, film clips and music videos turned up
on the site without their permission. In the face of YouTube’s enormous
success, TV networks were forced to adjust their traditional formula to
embrace the rise of new-media technologies. In one particularly notable
example in 2006, a YouTube user uploaded “Lazy Sunday,” a clip from
NBC’s sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, that quickly became
a sensation online as millions of users viewed it then forwarded it to
friends. Initially angry at the copyright infringement, NBC soon
realized the potential of the site to drum up awareness of their
programming, and soon agreed to add more of its clips to the YouTube
library.
The NBC-News Corp. deal in March 2007 represented a
larger-scale attempt by the two media companies to exert greater control
over the distribution of their video material online. The result of the
deal was the online video site Hulu, launched to a selected group of
users in the fall of 2007 and to the general public in the spring of
2008. Other media companies have chosen to deal with the challenge of
YouTube in a different way. In the spring of 2007, Viacom Inc., the
owner of Comedy Central, MTV, VH1 and other cable channels, filed a $1
billion lawsuit against the video-sharing site. The mammoth case was by
far the most significant challenge over YouTube’s alleged violation of
intellectual property rights to date. Whatever its outcome, the case
will most certainly play an important role in defining the terms of an
entertainment universe that has been radically changed by the rise of
new media.
