I really want a pair of Ugg cardy boots. I have a black pea coat that I've been wearing this winter, and I can't decide if I should get the grey or black boots to go with it. I like the grey boots better by themselves. Would it look really uncoordinated if I have grey boots with a black coat?
I would recommend the gray boots. Matching is cute but its better to have a different color and gray would be perfect! I myself have a black pea coat and gray uggs and its a perfect match!
I'm always being asked a common RV problem about the proper way to dump RV waste (also known as emptying holding tanks).
First, the Ugly Common Way.
To effectively answer this question we must look at what our collective goal is.
Transferring the holding tank waste from the RV in a sanitary way while not making a mess on the ground seems to be a worthy goal. We might also add that we want to do this in an uneventful way.
Generally, the most common method folks use today is to remove their sewer hose system from their coach, connect the coach end to the RV and then walk to the ground sewer inlet, place the fitting in the sewer and dump the black water first, then the gray water. They then perform the SAME procedure (starting at the coach) and as they put the sewer system back into its storage location they bleed the water out of the hose so as to not smell up the storage area.
Unfortunately, that method is both unsanitary and obviously contaminates the ground around the RV site.
Yuck.
Now the Proper and Safe Way.
Here's your NEW step-by-step method to ensure a simple, safe and sanitary results:
Begin by putting the ground sewer inlet fitting in the sewer first. There should be an on/off valve in the fitting (if not, it should have a cap).
When the fitting is secure in the sewer inlet, open the valve (or remove the cap before securing the fitting)
Then walk the other end back to the RV. This coach connection should have a cap as well so remove it and connect the fitting to the RV.
Dump the black water first, then secondly the gray water. When flushing the holding tanks be sure to use tank sprayers only.
When done, remove the RV connection and replace the cap.
Now, holding the cap, walk the hose back to the sewer inlet which bleeds the hose. Close the valve, or, lift the fitting (carefully as to not spill), and put the cap on it. Remove the valve fitting from the sewer inlet. Replace the ground sewer cap if it has one. Store the sealed hose.
You now have not made any kind of a mess on the ground or yourself and may firmly congratulate yourself for being environmentally responsible and friendly-and completely sanitary.

I bought a Black Cap conure, tried to stop the biting, any suggestion?
She is about 4 months old and bite at any chance. Doesn't want to step up on fingers and is very loud in morning.
At least you got him at a young age so it will be easier to train him not to bite.
First you need to work with him in a room where he can't see it's cage. You may need to use a small towel and pick up the bird, also if it's wings are not clipped it will be harder to control and tame it down if it can get away by flying.
I teach people how to tame and train their birds, and babies are so much easier to work with. Make sure you have a favorite treat when you are working with him. They love Millets Sprays so if you have that hold it in your had and offer it to him.
To build a relationship you need to gain the bird's trust, with out trust there bond. You need to take things slow so the bird will learn that you are a friend. Whenever the bird does what you want it to do, praise it and offer a treat. If it bites you say in a firm voice, but don't yell "NO BITE" do not hit it's beak or any other physical discipline it will only make the bird angry at you and you won't make any progress with it.
Pair White Wines for Pair of Butternut Squash Recipes
As published in the Naperville Sun, October 8, 2008

Special to The Sun
Now that fall has arrived, the air is turning crisp and we are beginning to think about the harvest and heartier fare.
To take advantage of the end of the seasonal bounty at the local farmers markets, we are focusing on hard winter squash, which is abundant and reasonably priced.
We settled on two butternut squash recipes and two white wines - Viognier and Pinot Gris - to accompany the dishes. Red wines do not pair well because they tend to be dry, tannic and lack sweetness.
About the wines While Viognier is not overly acidic, its lush honey and peach notes and exotic aroma make this a seductive wine. Its traditional pairing is with fish and fruit dishes. This slightly sweet wine also pairs well with butternut squash soup, especially when garnished with smoked cheddar.
The Northern Rhone Valley in France gives Viognier its prominence in the wine world. However, its production is small and the wine pricey. Locally, California is having some success with this wine.
The lack of acidity concerned us and we found a perfect solution at Pine Ridge, a lovely Napa Valley winery we had the pleasure of visiting last year. They make a blend of 80 percent Chenin Blanc for crispness and 20 percent Viognier for complexity, aroma and mouth feel. And it is reasonably priced!
France can also boast about the other white wine featured in this column. The Alsace region in northern France is home to some of the best Pinot Gris in the world. Compared to Italian Pinot Grigio, the Alsatian whites are richer and slightly aromatic, with a lingering finish. As these whites offer good acidity, we were confident they would pair well with our butternut squash dishes. In the United States, Oregon is producing quality wines that are similar in style to the Alsatian whites.
In both of these recipes you can either oven roast or boil the squash. Roasting is the easiest - you cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and bake. Roasting will produce a slightly sweeter and nuttier squash. Boiling a squash requires peeling of the vegetable, then cubing before placing in the broth. The advantage of boiling is speed - about 15 minutes if you cut the squash in smaller cubes. Boiled squash has a more delicate flavor.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
2 pounds butter nut squash Olive oil 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 tablespoons butter 3 cups chicken broth 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper Salt and pepper 1/2 cup smoked cheddar - grated (optional garnish) 1 cup half and half cream (optional)
Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds, rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes or until tender. In large saucepan, sauté the onions in the butter until translucent but not brown. Add the broth and seasonings, cover and slow simmer. When the squash is ready, scoop the flesh into a blender and add some of the broth. Puree the squash and add back into the saucepan. Season to taste. Enjoy the earthiness of your butternut squash soup as is or add the cream for a more elegant soup. Do not boil.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO WITH LEEKS
2 pounds butternut squash 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 cups chicken broth 2 leeks thinly sliced (about 3 cups) 2 cups Arborio rice 1/2 cup dry white wine (or the white wine you are serving) 1 tablespoon fresh sage - chopped 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Grana Padano Crisp, crumbled bacon as a garnish
Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds, rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast in a 400 degree oven for 45 minutes or until tender. In a separate pot, heat the broth. In large saucepan, sauté the leeks in olive oil until soft but not brown. Add the rice and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the wine and stir until it is absorbed. Add ½ cup of the hot stock and simmer until absorbed, stirring frequently. Add remaining stock ½ cup at a time allowing stock to be absorbed before adding more. Stir frequently until rice is tender and mixture is creamy - about 25 minutes. Scoop out the flesh of the squash, coarsely mash and fold the squash and sage to the rice mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Top with grated cheese and crumbled bacon.
Bill's Wine Picks
We selected Pinot Gris and the Viognier blend from Pine Ridge because their bright acidity and sweetness pairs well with creamy pasta dishes (risotto) as well as pumpkin and squash soups. Here they are accompanied by their with suggested retail prices:
• Pine Ridge Napa Chenin Blanc and Viognier - $11
• McManis California Viognier - $10
• Big Fire Oregon Pinot Gris - $13

Have you ever noticed white people brown hair and black people brown hair are different?
Im not talking about texture... im talking about color. Most of the time black people brown is a dark brown or Light Brown that looks like a very dark dark brown/orange. White people brown hair looks like a blonde hair color that wass darkened. what do you think?
Absolutely...I noticed that all the time. I think you are referring to "ash" or cool tones in the hair....
I am glad I am not the only one who noticed! =)
Notice...even when you shop for hair coloring most "cool" tones are marketed to whites /caucasians and the "warmer" tones are marketed towards blacks and other ethnic groups? Most cool tones (such as ash brown for example) would look horrendous on me and most Black women while warmer tones such as chocolate or honey brown would be fitting.
Most black people if you look at their natural hair in the sun it has shades of red and possibly gold tones.....
Also remember that many caucasians are born with blonde hair...so there is something about the blonde to dirty blonde to light ash brown transition....that usually happens during childhood/teenage years...
Am i getting 220 from a three wire dryer recpt.Wires are blk,wht,and the bare ground.?
The plug in recpt has wire hook up for red, blk and a silver screw.The other two are copper.I have no red wire in the line of wire.
Sounds like regular romex was used to wire up the dryer. If you have the 220 between the two power prongs and 110 from each one to ground it will probably be ok. But if you ever do any remodeling that needs a permit you will have to replace the wiring so that it is up to code. If you are renting the house or it is an apartment then the landlord as to fix it. There should be two (2) breakers that the wires run to. The electrical coming into the house is two lines of 110 on seperate circuits from the power company. The voltage between the two lines is 220v. the rest of the house that is wired for 110 can have either leg going to the outlets or the lamps.
