Please mark your calendars for our Spring Bread and Cheese Creek which will be are largest cleanup to date! These photos show the current sad condition of this historic stream. We plan to clean up Bread and Cheese Creek form the Berkshire section to North Point Road on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM, All the assistance from volunteers and sponsor is greatly appreciated! We know this is a huge section of stream to tackle but I know we can do it!
This cleanup will be in conjunction with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s Project Clean Stream and it will be our fifth year working with them! This cleanup will also be in conjunction with American Rivers. We will supply trash bags, gloves, water, snacks and lunch. A limited supply of waders and tools will also be available for sign out during the cleanup.
Remember, there plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We will need every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the Clean Up. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we can use people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to work the grills as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. Please feel free to pass this information on to other who might be interesting in helping as well. As my grandfather always said, "Many hands makes the work light". We run our cleanups as a family event with all age groups welcome by developing plenty of ways for volunteers to participate.
Our cleanups are part of an ongoing effort clean the entire stream by the 2014 bicentennial celebration of War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration. (Bread and Cheese Creek has been noted as one of the highlighted location on the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail) The creek played a rather significant part in the Battle of North Point which took place on September 12, 1814. Both the American and British Troops camped along its banks. It is rumored that the young heroes Daniel Wells (19) and Henry McComas (18) used the stream channel to sneak up on British General Robert Ross killing him with their muskets before being killed in return fire. This important part of our history should not be left the eyesore it currently is and those who died defending our country honored in this way.

I know it's frowsy but, when I have more time, I will build it inside a tidy steel box. This device will control the a/c in my absence, making sure my kids will stay comfortable. I'm waiting for FedEX to deliver a pilot relay and a programmable thermostat. The pilot relay may not be necessary, but I'm afraid the thermostat could not directly drive the 40 amp contactor. The manufacturer does not specify max current output, let alone for a reactive load. I'm not going to be here to operate the a/c should it fail, so it needs to be as reliable as possible.
Most all evaporative air conditioners are simple on/off devices; turn them on when you get hot; turn them off when you get cold. Since I'm not going to be home for three days, this device is necessary to modulate the a/c, so my cats will stay comfortable.

There are two air conditioners in my flat. When I last April first moved in, one of them began leaking which prompted a phone call from management informing me of this quality of life abomination. At the time, in my ignorance, I didn't bother to inform the landlord: I simply started the other air conditioner up and, it working perfectly, didn't have to trouble myself over these infernal machines for a year.
Last week, however, that all changed. The other machine, which had held up so well as to beguile me into a false sense of climate-controlled security, unleashed a steady trickle of water - drip, drip, drip - onto the flats below. Nonetheless, what between the myriad professional revelations and the impact of years of spiritual checks inundating me this past week, taking care of this leaky contraption dropped off my radar, up until the verbal warnings given to me by the building management became written ones, to which I surely had to respond.
It took a few days to finally reach my landlord with whom I had rarely spoken since he took control of the flat a few months earlier. In the meantime, I had called the repairman - that same surly bloke who has visited me on numerous occasions during my stay in this building; a verily grim reaper of repairs - to attend to the matter of fixing the leaking units. He came, pulled the unit out from the wall after exerting himself mightily, and then judged the situation - hopeless. The air conditioners indeed were so old and were installed so ineptly that removing one from its precipitous resting place to examine, even, would destroy the machine as he had just discovered. The verdict was to scrap the air conditioners and to purchase new ones. The repairman left the carcass of the conditioner on the floor, and used its cover to plug up the gaping hole in the wall as best as he could.
The landlord and his wife eventually visited the flat a few days later. They had never seen the flat before, and had purchased it as though they were blind and dumb. Unfortunately, upon inspecting the awkward configuration of the unit and hearing its disrepair history, which I readily supplied, both they and I realized how we had been conned by the previous landlord, a shifty sales agent who knew how to cover structural blemishes with a wave of a hand and a few cajoling words. The flat, as far as they were concerned, was not as they had imagined in their ignorance based on the duplicity of the previous landlord; and little wonder that that landlord wanted me to take responsibility for the air conditioners, I realized! The new landlords, humbled by their tragic mistakes, departed my abode to consider their options, the foremost of which is to flip the flat as soon as possible.
Actually, it hasn't been too taxing to sleep without an air conditioner. I purchased a steady fan which can blow a comforting gale into my face for hours at a time without it offering as much as a flinch.
But, the bugs began crawling on the walls. They either came out of the air conditioning unit, or they came in from the outside, through the hole in the wall. I only noticed these diabolical, diminutive vermin a few days ago. I had just stepped out of the shower when I examined closely the wall and remarked, "crap, there are dozens of small bugs crawling on my wall!" The initial shock rattled me greatly, only to transform into an arctic chill deep within my bones when I saw a few of these insects on the frame of my bed. That they were the benign sort neither bent on eating my flesh nor crawling into my orifices was my prayer. Thankfully, they have so far stayed away from my pillow, settling instead comfortably on my wall where they have multiplied exponentially over the past few days. The landlord recommended getting the repairman to remove the air conditioning obstruction from my flat as soon as possible, and covering up the hole in the wall with plastic wrap as well.

An olod Fedders air conditioning unit. its a 1960s model with the heating feature. used in many apartment buildings. these are still pout there, if your lucky enough to have one, keep it and fix it. if you find one that someone is getting rid of, TAKE IT!
Very tidy condition for its age from what I could see, even if my dash cam was a bit lopsided for this shot. (10)7k showing at last test in May.
I was looking at this remarkable sight on Dundas street near my home and was thinking wouldn't Ivy be the best kind of air conditioning? shielding the house when it's hot, letting the sun on when it's old... seems pretty perfect to me? has anyone noticed the effect? I will grow Ivy on our building!!! I am, I bought a pot and landed it near the corner of the rail to the basement and the porch wall... it's growing!!!
The men arrived this morning to service the air conditioning. Both units needed gas. This one more than the other.
Once they were both gassed up, the temperature of the air coming out was down to a respectable 12 degrees.
Shame on me; the air filters are supposed to be cleaned every six months but I had forgotten. They were both filthy so I was told off!
Job done, tonight, I will sleep like a baby in our lovely cool bedroom.

Choosing a Hair Care and Styling Routine
We all have different hair, which obviously means that everyone will need to take care of their hair and style it differently. Taking good care of your hair will not just keep your hair looking fabulous, but also keep your scalp healthy. And, having a healthy scalp means your hair will be healthy, too.
With healthy hair, you can create all the hairstyles you want to try. But where to start? Well, before you even think about styling your hair, you’ll need to be in a good hair care routine.
If you’re not sure where to start with taking care of your hair, the first step is most likely washing it regularly. Get your hair completely wet, then use a small amount of shampoo (a squirt about the size of a quarter is good) and massage it into your scalp. Once your hair feels nice and clean, rinse out the shampoo.
If your hair is prone to looking dry, you can also use a conditioner. Be sure to only use it on your hair. Unlike shampoo, you should not use conditioner on your scalp, since it can dry out your scalp and even make it easier for your hair to quickly get oily. An easy way to condition your hair is to get a conditioning spray that you can use when you get out of the shower.
After you’ve rinsed off your hair, gently dry it with a towel. We’d recommend using a microfiber towel or a T-shirt. Towels are usually heavy and made of rough material that can damage hair—and wet hair is especially prone to damage. T-shirts and microfiber towels are usually more lightweight and do a great job of soaking up water. When the excess water is out of your hair, carefully comb out tangles with a wide-tooth comb. Don’t use a brush until your hair has had time to dry (remember, wet hair is very easily damaged). Once you’ve combed your hair, let it air dry if there’s time.
Obviously, washing your hair is pretty important. But how often should you do it? A recent trend has been the encouragement to only wash hair every other day or even only once a week. This is a good idea to keep in mind, as over-washing your hair can dry it out. However, the frequency with which you need to wash your hair depends more on what it’s like and what you do throughout your day. Usually, straight or thin hair gets oily very easily and needs washed more often, while curly or thick hair can go a few days between being washed. If you exercise a lot or use a lot of products in your hair, you’ll probably need to wash it more. It might take some time to figure out a good schedule for washing your hair, so have fun with it! Try new shampoos and conditioners, or test out a dry shampoo.
In addition to washing your hair, it’s also important to protect it. You might think the sun can only damage your skin, but it actually can impact your hair, too! We recommend wearing a hat when you go outside to prevent sun damage. Hair can also be damaged by chemicals like chlorine or even hair products. Be sure to wash your hair after swimming and thoroughly wash out any products you put in. And, if you can avoid it, don’t use gobs of product in your hair.
Some other ways to protect your hair are to use a protector spray on your hair if you use a hair dryer, curling wand, or flat iron often. And, while brushing your hair is important, it’s also possible to brush too much, causing split ends and frizziness. So, only brush until your hair has a nice shine.
One last great way to take care of your hair is to get it trimmed regularly—every six to eight weeks. This will help keep split ends to a minimum and gives you a chance to switch up how you style your hair.
So you’ve got some hair care strategies—now what about style?
Like hair care, hair style depends on your type of hair and what you’re doing throughout your day. You probably don’t want an elaborate hairstyle if you’re on your way to the gym, and if you have completely straight hair, a style with tight curls just might not work. But the key is experimenting! Try a few different styles to see what fits with your “get-ready routine” or works with your style.
Here are a few ideas:
If you want to add volume to straight, thin hair:
Try beach waves! There are a few simple ways you can do this. The first is to throw your hair in a ponytail. Then, divide your hair into sections and gently wrap each section around a curling wand. Once you’ve gotten to every section, carefully remove the ponytail.
Another way to quickly get beach waves is to first, use a sea salt spray on your hair. Next, divide half of your hair into two sections. Twist both of these sections, then, twist them together. Grab a hair straightener and, starting at the top of the twist, clamp down for about two seconds as you move down to the bottom of your hair. Do the same thing with the other half of your hair. Let your hair cool down completely before un-twisting it.
If you want to straighten thick, curly hair:
First, grab your favorite hair protecting product and apply it to your hair. Take the top half of your hair (maybe the top two thirds if you have very thick hair) and put it up in a clip or scrunchie so it’s out of the way. Then, use a flat iron to straighten out each curl on the underside of your hair. Once you’ve finished straightening the bottom half of your hair, take out the clip or scrunchie and work through the top half.
If you want to add length and volume:
Unfortunately, there’s no way to magically make your hair grow longer or thicker, but you can try a hair extension. You’ll be able to choose from a great range of colors and lengths.
You can also get a few different kinds of hair extensions—some you can put in yourself, and some require a visit to a hairstylist who can install them for you.
Clip-in extensions are easy to put in on your own. Just clip up the top half of your hair and slide the clips into the bottom part of your hair. Most clip-in extensions come in sets, so after putting in the first extension, you’ll let a bit of your hair down and put the remaining ones in wherever you feel your hair could use the volume.
Some important things to remember about clip-in hair extensions:
Once they are in, you can style them just like you would with your own hair!
You should take care of them the same way you’d take care of your own hair
Remember to brush them before and after each use with a soft bristle brush. This will ensure the hair is smooth and tangle free
You should wash the extensions every 15-20 wears, or when the hair feels like product has started to build up. Use a gentle shampoo and lots of conditioner, being sure to rinse thoroughly and lay flat to dry
Deep condition the extensions every week or every other week
Store extensions flat in a safe, dry area
Tape-in extensions and weave-in extensions are considered semi-permanent, and you’ll need to go to a stylist to get them installed. Tape-in extensions take 45 minutes to an hour to install and are pretty easy to maintain, though you may need to be careful with using conditioners as they can loosen the tape. Usually, people with very thick hair use weave-in extensions. They can take a few hours to install because they are literally woven into your hair. If you aren’t used to thick hair, the weight of weave-in extensions can feel heavy and uncomfortable. However, this type of extension is the most long-lasting and you won’t have to worry about it sliding out.
Some important things to remember about semi-permanent extensions:
Take care of them the same way you’d take care of your own hair
Like clip-in extensions, you can also style semi-permanent extensions just like you would your own hair!
Regardless of how you decide to style your hair, you’ll probably need a tool (or two, or three) to get the hairdo you want.
One of the most important things is a good hair brush. They usually are curved with rounded plastic bristles and are great for flipping hair under or out. For example, if you have bangs, you would wrap damp hair around the brush and use a hair dryer to blow it dry. If you get extensions, you might want to get a hair brush specifically designed to reduce frizz and gently tug out tangles.
You’ll also need a good heat protecting spray. This is another very important thing to have because it’s kind of like sunscreen for your hair—it will keep your hair from getting damaged by hot air from a hair dryer or by straighteners or curling tools.
The first tool everyone should have is a great hair dryer. If you are in a rush and don’t have time to break out a straightener or curler, a hair dryer is great for adding some extra volume. A good dryer will have different heat and speed options, and should also come with a concentrator (to streamline the airflow) and a diffuser (to spread out the airflow—the diffuser is great if you have curly hair).
If you are primarily looking for a way to straighten your hair, you might need a flat iron. We recommend hair straighteners made with titanium plates as they are lightweight, durable, and glide smoothly over your hair. The great thing about flat irons is that they can be used to curl hair, too, so you get a very versatile hairstyling tool.
If you have very straight hair and no need for a straightener, you’re probably looking for a curling wand or curling iron. What’s the difference? Curling irons have clamps that will hold your hair in place after it’s wrapped around the wand, creating tighter curls. Curling wands don’t have clamps and are usually used to create looser curls. Both curling wands and curling irons come in different widths. Wider wands create bigger, looser curls, while thinner wands create more corkscrew-type curls. Some curling wands feature “bubbles”along the length—these types are perfect for creating those beach curls we talked about earlier. You can even get a curling tool with several interchangeable options, so you don’t have to style your hair with the same types of curls every day.
Your hair care and styling routine will be as unique as you are, but we hope this helps you get started on developing that routine!

In 1955, Living For Young Homemakers magazine sponsored the “Living Conditioned” homes program, which was sponsored by Hotpoint as part of their Golden Anniversary celebration. The magazine selected four architects from all over the nation to design modern homes with a “magnificently simple design for gracious living” while also incorporating all-electric appliances (Hotpoint, of course), as well as the latest in air conditioning.
Four model homes were built and later given away to lucky contestants in the Hotpoint Giveaway, and others who didn't win homes could buy plans for them for $10 from Living For Young Homemakers. This design was built in Oklahoma City (and in 43 other states) and is pretty spectacular for a modest mod. The home is on the market now -- here are more photos of it and history about it:
