With an internet connected wifi router you can monitor the cams from a cell phone. No monthly fees from monitoring companies. I use tinycammonitor pro on an android with foscam pannable cams. It can even alert your phone with motion detection and will record.
I find it particularly disturbing to have TerriLois calling our phone(which is on the DO NOT CALL list) and wishing me happy birthday. She apparently also left a message during business hours on my wife's birthday. We don't know her from Adam, didn't vote for her and frankly think she should be doing the job she was elected for of responsibly helping run state government. Must be part of Kobach's vanguard testing access to voter registrations and personal information records. I thought the repugnicans were about getting government OUT of your personal business!
3. Camping is allowed only in designated areas and is subject to restrictions as posted. All campers and camping units are limited to a stay of not more than 14 consecutive days although a 14-day extension may be obtained with written permission from the park manager. A five-day absence is required before returning to the park to camp again. Any property left unused or unoccupied for 48 hours is subject to removal. http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/news/Stat...
Centurylink has four speed tiers of dsl service, 768k,1.5M, 3.0M and 10.0M. What is anyone using and as arcocelli asks is it fast enough to stream video? Also, what is the cost?
We have a bare Centurylink phone line that I would like to have caller ID on so bundled with 10.0M internet and Direct TV would be nice at the right price. Mediacon is up to nearly $120 with bottom tier tv service and shared bandwidth w/ Baker students internet, phone w/ Centurylink another $30.
Just don't let anybody use magnesium chloride on your concrete.
How Magnesium Chloride Damages Concrete: One must have a fundamental knowledge of concrete in its hardened state. Concrete, when setting from a plastic to hardened condition, goes through a number of chemical reactions. Basically, hardened concrete consists of two major chemical compounds; calcium-silicate-hydrate and calcium hydroxide. Actually, the reaction products from cement hydration with water are very chemically complex, but for the purposes of this review, we will stick to the basics. When concrete is to be exposed to severe freezing, it is standard practice to entrain a system of microscopic air bubbles in concrete mixtures typically occupying a volume of 5-8%. The purpose of this air-void system is to provide space for the increased volume that water will occupy as it becomes ice. If one were to look at concrete under a microscope in the range of 3000X, this entrained air would look very much like a wasp nest. Magnesium chloride for deicing is effective in reducing the temperature at which water freezes. The problem begins as the magnesium chloride comes into contact with the now deiced concrete surface and remains contained in the melt water, and permeates into the concrete. While deicing salts containing sodium, potassium and calcium are chemically innocuous to concrete, this is not true of magnesium. The magnesium ions accumulate and react with the cementitious compound calcium- silicate-hydrate converting it to magnesium-silicate-hydrate (or a mineral called brucite), which is non-cementitious in nature. In other words, a fundamental major mineralogical product of solidified concrete has now been chemically altered (completely changed). Formation of magnesium-silicatehydrate breaks down the “glue” that binds aggregates together and concrete surfaces begin to deteriorate. The net effect is we now have a chemical and physical attack that concrete is not designed to withstand, nor be subjected to.
State informs Baldwin City of need to conserve water with drought
Definitely need to get my rain barrels in operation and put together a drip system.

I think someone tried to steal plants out of our yard last night.

Wifi cameras, irrefutable evidence if you have them on video.
