One of the few problems I've found with vinyl railings and fencing is how dirty it gets from the weather. After a season of rain, snow, ice and bird droppings these white vinyl railings great really dirty. You can't tell from a distance but if you get up to it you won't want to hold on to the railing.At first I thought I was going to have to scrub the rails all by hand with some type of Soft Scrub

The northern population of the jaguar is certainly threatened by the construction of a border fence but the problem is much deeper. The border fence represents poor planning and policy on part of the US government. Additionally, the border fence represents habitat degradation loss and fragmentation, which slowly degrades nature, her ecosystems and the complex relationships amongst organisms. The balance within nature becomes unbalanced when habitat degradation loss and fragmentation occurs.Biological laws do not stop with political borders hence nature does not abide by political borders. Nature is complex. Certainly, the laws of thermodynamics do not stop with political borders as well. In fact, governmental policy like the construction of a border fence contributes to the entropy withi

Border-fence dispute snares rare jaguars - CNN.com Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told Congress that the agency continues to talk to some 600 landowners along the border to get their input. But in order to comply with the congressional mandate, he said, there is no time to deal with "unnecessary delays caused by administrative processes or potential litigation."After reading the article above you may or may not be in the least bit concerned.

Unfortunately, it's happened again. A 1-year-old boy from Hudson, Florida was pulled unconscious from a backyard swimming pool, died Sunday. The boy was visiting his grandmother Saturday morning when he fell into the swimming pool after wandering into the pool area through a door that was unlocked or open. Other children who had been playing in the pool earlier had returned to the house. The family told deputies the child was missing just a few minutes before he was found. The sheriff's office is investigating the case as an accident.Sad isn't it? What's even sadder is that these accidents are preventable.According to government statistics, drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of 5 in California, Arizona and Florida.

Filed under: Misc. GadgetsThe last we heard of DHS's "Project 28" plan to build a 28-mile stretch of virtual fencing along the US / Mexico border in Arizona, it had been postponed until at least 2011 because the towers didn't quite work. Well, it appears that on further review, the system is even more of a total failure, and it's being scrapped entirely: according to Kelly Good, deputy director of the administration's Secure Border Initiative program, Project 28 "hasn't come close" to meeting Border Patrol's goals. Tests of the virtual fence didn't lead to nearly as many arrests as designers had hoped, and the lag from sensor detection to transmission of an image to border agents was apparently a big part of the problem. Boeing, which won the $860M contract to build the system, is now bein

Can you believe it? I am still undecided about where this market will go. But can you blame me? Yesterday, the bulls successfully defended the February lows and put in yet another strong reversal. However, today as we moved closer to recapturing the 20-day moving average, we sold off quickly (again). This back and forth action is enough to give someone some serious whiplash. That is why I am sitting on the fence and watching this volatile action in the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQQ) .I am seeing some positive action in small cap stocks, so I am still expecting more upside.

According to congressional estimates (as reported by globalsecurity.org and elsewhere) the proposed fence along US-Mexico border would cost between $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 per mile. And, according to security experts, it would be as effective as posting signs "Please do not cross the border" every few miles... Remember the Berlin Wall? That was a real wall, made of 12 ft high and 4 ft wide concr

It seems that both scenarios are equally as likely to occur, and so I will continue to wait, cash in hand, for the market to make its next move.Stock market timing signal = cautious bear †† Here is more information about my stock market timing signal.
A white rooster is stunning, especially when he has his favorite hen to keep him company. This is a watercolor and measures 9"x12". I just love these birds and find them very fascinating. They have moods, they show expression and they are really fun to play around with color in a painting. Once I knew a renegade rooster that used to come and visit me. I just loved that bird but the odds were against him and also against me being able to adopt him. I fear he met a sad ending. Maybe it's better not to know the outcome of such events. We are all passing through. Some visitors stay longer than others and some are a brief and sheer joy to see. The moral of this story is that if a nice rooster comes to visit you....take him under your wing.(click image to see enlargment)SOLD

McALLEN — The Justice Department has sued more Cameron County property owners who have not volunteered access to their land for a survey of the border. The federal government sued six more landowners in U.S. District Court in Brownsville on Tuesday, bringing the total to 18 condemnation lawsuits in the county. The Department of Homeland Security is requesting temporary, 180-day access so contractors and survey and prepare for siting the fence. Brownsville residents, including Mayor Pat Ahumada, have been among the most vocal critics of the planned 700 miles of steel and virtual fence along the Mexican border, which President Bush and Congress have ordered built to stop illegal immigration and smuggling. Ahumada denied surveyors access to city-owned land, noting early plans showed the
Wireless dog fence has been proven and tested to be really safe and reliable. However, there are still safety tips that everyone should take into consideration in using it. These safety tips will give your dog a much better protection.Take note that dogs collar receiver must always be in contact with the wireless signal thrown by the transmitter. Therefore, if the collar loses contact with the transmitter signal, correction pulse will then be sent by the collar thinking the dog has left the containment area.Just place the transmitter somewhere in your home, garage or tool shed that is not noticeable to avoid any damage on the system. After keeping it in a safe area and completing the set up, the transmitter will then emit a radio signal which will define the containment boundary of your do
So, our neighbor's fence fell down, ohhhhhhh, probably last spring. We were told it would be taken care of. Ok, no problem. We propped it back up and wasn't really doing too much to our side. A couple months ago, we had a big wind storm and it fell all the way over onto my raised garden. Craig finally called the neighbor who owns the house and he said that the renters were supposed to have fixed it. Well, they didn't....really. So anyway, the owner, renter and Craig are all out there "fixing" it. It's too funny. Everytime I look out the window, they're all just standing there. LOL!

(Bush to Conservatives: Screw You)
President Bush once again is set to screw conservatives, and most Americans who want our borders controlled, by signing the Democrat Omnibus budget bill. The massive spending bill carries language that essentially guts the existing border fence law calling for double fencing. This from WorldNewDaily:
Bill guts border fence requirement
Republican presidential hopeful Duncan Hunter is blasting a Democrat-sponsored bill that would eliminate the requirement passed by Congress to build a double-layered fence covering 854 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border.
“By eliminating the double fence requirement, the Democratic Congress is going to make it easier for drug and human smugglers to cross our Southern land border,” said Hunter. “This goes against the interests of any family that has been touched by illegal drugs or any American who has seen their job taken by an illegal alien.”
The Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations b
I was trying to remember the first book of poetry I bought. I don't have it anymore but it was a collection by the Glasgow poet, Tom Leonard. I bought it because it contained a lengthy poem with an equally lengthy title, 'A priest came on at Merkland Street: a very thoughtful poem, being a canonical penance for sufferers of psychosomatic asthma' (and being an asthma sufferer I was curious), but it really wasn't that particular poem that caught my interest, rather it was a set of poems called 'Six Glasgow Poems'.What you have to remember is the poetry I had been exposed to up until this point. We'd probably just finished the British War Poets, Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Rupert Brooke (Owen was a definite early influence) and were about to get introduced to Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, who, probably for that reason, I have always paired-up in my mind even though they were very different people and poets. I had never read or heard read anything that could be described as
For conservative women, withholding support from Hillary Clinton is a no-brainer. It is quite easy for them to see past the fact that Hillary is a female and see that she is a flip flopper who will say and do anything to get elected.However, surprisingly enough even some of the most loyal Democratic liberal females are coming to at least some clarity on the issue.The Los Angeles Times made the following observations.“While they struggled to break through institutional barriers in the workplace, Clinton hitched her star to her man and followed him to the top. When his philandering imperiled his political career, she not only pulled him out of the fire but helped orchestrate attacks against his accusers.”Other liberal women appear disturbed by Hillary’s support for the Iraq war and her reluctance to take firm stands on some important issues.On the Huffington Post blog, writer Nora Ephron included herself among the “Hillary resisters” and said these women “don’t trust her a

HILLARY IS IN TROUBLE Now the fun begins! [...]As Hillary Clinton huddled with advisers not long ago, she was pressed to stake a position popular with the party's left-leaning voters on one issue. But the presidential front-runner resisted. It wasn't her position. "If I do what you all want me to do, I'll look great for the next couple months," she said, according to one insider's account. "But what if I'm the nominee? I'll be ripped apart by the Republicans. And what if I'm the president? My hands will be tied." The New York senator's response captured the tension at the core of her 10-month-old presidential bid, and helps illuminate why she has hit a dangerously bumpy stretch as January's first nominating votes near. Sen. Clinton actually is running two campaigns at once -- courting left-leaning Democrats to get the nomination, but mindful even now of maintaining a sufficiently centrist course to withstand Republican attacks and win election next November.

Folk have been worrying for some time if now is a good time to buy. I, and others, would say with utmost confidence the answer to this question is YES! Other than the fact that Interest Rates are at excellent levels, home prices have been coming down in some parts of the country, foreclosures are on the rise and it being a buyer's market... Here is one more fact that should get folk to start getting serious about buying now!CNN/Money is reporting this morning on a Goldman Sach's economist forseeing a $2 Trillion credit crunch coming. This would mean that banks will further tighten already tight guidelines. Folk with less will be unable to afford getting into a house. Fear should never be a reason to purchase a home. Knowing the facts and seeing the writing on the wall should be sufficient to encourage your fence sitters to seriously look for a house. This is huge! There were warnings about the crunch that occurred back in July, but nothing like this. Don't
Same Arguments Heard From All Public ProjectsFence Will Run Through Houses and Back YardsHighways, Interstates, Dams, Parks Caused Relocations TooA map obtained by The Associated Press shows that the double- or triple-layer fence may be built as much as two miles from the river on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande, leaving parts of Granjeno and other nearby communities in a potential no-man's-land between the barrier and the water's edge.Based on the map and what the residents have been told, the fence could run straight through houses and backyards. Some fear it could also cut farmers off from prime farmland close to the water."I don't sleep right because I'm worried," said Daniel Garza, a 74- year-old retiree born and raised in Granjeno. Garza said federal agents told him that the gray brick house he built just five years ago and shares with his 72-year-old wife is squarely in the fence's path."We want to be safe, but it's just that this is not a good plan," said Cecilia Benavide
Some people don't like the idea of fences around schools. The public, they say, should have access to the playgrounds and fields when classes aren't in session.
A story coming out of Seminole County reminds about the importance of fences. And it has nothing to do with child snatching.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that Seminole school officials will be taking a closer
look at their elementary school playground fencing after an autistic
student walked away from campus during recess . Luckily, the boy wound up at a nearby house, where a passing county fire crew found him.
But the fact that the boy could just slip away has superintendent Bill Vogel concerned, beyond the poor oversight by an aide who faces discipline. He wants to make sure that all the schools have proper fencing that keep kids in, as well as others out.
They say the grass is always greener but, of course, it never really is because sometimes there’s a whole lot of moss in amongst it.
Take for instance the off and on popularity of Brits moving to France….
The majority do it because they are trying to get away from the bad things in British life these days. They don’t like the rising crime and the bad schools and the too fast pace of life. So, they look towards France and it seems like the UK was maybe 30 years ago.
It is, but would you really have wanted to go back to the UK of 30 years ago?
Yes, there’s not that much crime in the areas in which Brits habitually move but then there’s not much crime in the UK countryside either. The schools are certainly more book based, but is that any better. Perhaps the best example for a Brit considering such a move is that the English teachers in France can barely speak English because of their own schooling ie it’s largely bookwork rather than the conversationa

Never in my life did I dream I’d want a white picket fence. Seriously. Me? Old two-story house with a white picket fence? Can I say that enough times? Sorry, repetition isn’t pretty but it certainly makes a point. Our fence is utilitarian. Dogs in, strolling passers-by out — then I picked up a can of white exterior paint (Ace is the place) as primer for windows and doors because we’re getting ready to paint the exterior this year (also parts of the interior if Val keeps planning our “new bedroom” and gets her way — which she will.)
Well… I came in the house a while ago to check email and thought I’d brag on my work.

This picture shows the kind of work you could be doing if you had chosen to be a fireman. All joined in a team effort to rescue a young girl stuck in steel fence, and it took several hours to extract her from her predicament.
Fire Chief Stiffie said, “This was a pretty tough rescue, it took us quite a while to come up with a plan to safely extract her from the fence.”
Although the girl’s entrapment was never life threatening it did take careful planning and gentle handling to safely remove her. She was taken to an area hospital where she was examined by several doctors and finally released the following day.
“Poor thing, this just about broke my heart” said the Chief!
“I just wanted to reach out and help her”
