Has anybody got suggestions/experience or opinions for cost/quality/charge rate/Sellers for a smaller portable solar panel that can be used to charge a battery in a camper. The only draw on the battery will be the the interior lights as I believe propane is used for the fridges aren't they? Thanks in advance. FHD

Try Army and Navy in the NE. FHD

I was crusing the net today and found this. Time to ponder different sources of energy. Read the top and scroll down to the bottom and watch both videos on how it is done. http://www.electricitybook.com/composting-for-heat/ FHD

I woulda tried a large Adams, but I wasn't invited! Brunsies statement again huh? Sigh......NO LAKE FOR YOU! Come back....One YEAR! FHD

Boy. I would say it is easy to speak when you don't know what a person with a disability goes through. Speaking with knowledge of the "handicapped" I have problems with the comparisons. As someone else said, sit in a wheelchair and see if life is "that easy" !? One of the most stupid comments and comparisons I have seen in a while. FHD

Try buying some blood meal, put about 1/3 of a soup can full and bury in your garden with the lip of the can just above the dirt and add a small amount of water to moisten the meal. Bury a few around your flower bed perimeter and re-fill as necessary over the summer. FHD

Best to not go by yourself too as you are unfamiliar with the river and it's banks. Lots of dangerous snags, beaver holes and such. Go around the Canmore bridge and bring a friend. With the snow, I wouldn't be venturing too far! Nature is unforgiving and the water is cold. FHD

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Olympic 400 metres champ LaShawn Merritt of the United States has been suspended after testing positive for an anabolic steroid contained in an over-the-counter penis enlargement product. His response:"To know that I've tested positive as a result of a product that I used for personal reasons is extremely difficult to wrap my hands around". I guess it worked! FHD

I'm with ya Lynn. Been there last year where my dog got dehydrated from a ham bone as some may remember. Ham is cured with salt. Being that my boy is only 4 lbs. the salt started to solidify in his body blocking his digestive tract. Dogs don't process salt well either! Who knew? I sure found out quickly that the C.A.R.E. centre provided extremely good treatment to my pal. At a cost of about $1k a day!!! But, what was the alternative.....ah no, he was only 14 months old so he still had some living to do. The staff thanked me for saving him when I went to pay for him after he recovered. They said few would have done so and would have done the "dirty deed" instead. I couldn't. So now, I'm trying to get my ?$K worth of lovin out of him. He better live forever 'cuz he owes me!!! FHD

umm...wow! memories for the ages... FHD

Claim on insurance. That's what it is for. FHD

I have been looking for some time at Trailrunners.ca. They have started and trained dogs for sale. They are in Sask. Cheers...FHD

I second the Better Butcher. FHD

For me, I like to grow Roses. I have about 30-40 plants in my yard. My wife was disabled in a car accident in 2001 and I went to get her some roses for Mom's Day and thought that if I was going to spend $35 on a bunch, why not buy the plants and grow them. She enjoys having her cut flowers in the house in the summer and the yard looks so beautiful throughout the spring and summer growing season. Her back yard is a "safe haven" from the world with her small swimming pool and the bright colors of the blooms. It's the small things in life that matter to us. What makes my wife happy....makes me happy. FHD

We at AHS got an email from Duckett last week "asking" for us to find ways to reduce costs. Why? So he can reduce staff costs with the ideas and so he can collect his "bonuses". Um... YA RIGHT! I'm on it Stevie! FHD

Always sad to here these stories. My thoughts and prayers are with you and his friends/family. Lesson: Life is short, open your eyes and breathe it all in for it may be over soon. FHD

I tend to agree. FHD

As a health care support worker, I have been in contact with a nurse who is giving these vaccines. First some facts from her: 1. The vaccine has an "inactivated virus" as part of the serum and you can not get the flu from the vaccine. 2. The vaccine base has the same components contained in the vaccines given to Europeans for flu type "A and B" since 1997. Since that time, there have been over 42 million of these shots given to people. So it is safe and documents as such. 3. According to my nurse friend, most the sicknesses (flus) that have been reported are of the H1N1 variety and not "A or B' type. 4. The most serious symptom of the H1N1 appears to be "problems with breathing". Her advice, if you are sick and think you have the flu and experience difficulty breathing, GO TO A HEALTH CARE FACILITY IMMEDIATELY!! 5. This strain of flu seems to be attacking pregnant women and children under 13 years with the most severe symptoms. As I said, I am a health care support worker. I am no expert on this. I am only relaying information that I believe to be true so more of you can make a more informed decision on if you want/should have the shot as a preventitive measure. One in four are predicated to come down with symptoms of this particular strain of flu. It's your choice...... FHD

Since I commented on the Carseland weir fish ladder this morning, I was looking at other designs of ladders and found this one on the Columbia in the States. This design would be more appropriate on a smaller scale for the Bow, don't you think? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bonneville_Ladder.jpg FHD

While it's just that they are paying for this type of mistake, TU has a big job with their programs once this sort of thing occurs. Such a shame to see really. FHD

Curt Gowdy from ABC used to come up here Stampede week to "cover the rodeo". LOL

Sorry for the Hijack But, if anyone is looking for CHEAP glasses you can check out clearlycontacts.ca out of Vancouver. They will ship to you no money paid (30 days to pay) and if you aren't happy with your glasses, ship them back with the changes and they will ship them back to you. Very good prices on designer frames up to 80% off. I got mine through them for $98 for prescription lenses and frames. You can even take a digital picture of yourself and use it on their site to see how you will look in the pairs that they have for sale. Kinda neat and very cost effective if you may want a couple pairs of glasses. FHD

I have a couple of questions. If anyone can help, please PM me, I would be appreciative. Thanks....FHD

A huge ant hatch in the Fairview area last night too. My garden and lawn were full of nesters. Lots of winged and non-winged smaller babes. FHD
