I found a Giant Silk Moth: Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia)

As I was opening the tower for Test-N-Tune this afternoon, I was met by this huge butterfly, or so I thought. After setting up, I had a few minutes and decided to try to identify my new friend.  Well, turns out...  He is a Giant Silk Moth.  The largest species of moths in North America. This one is a male.  Only the males have the large feathery antennas.  I am pretty lucky to lay eyes on this guy, since his adult life only lasts approximately two weeks.   Read More on Wiki: Hyalophora Cecropia

Born December 30th, 1982, I am a Capricorn

I have a terrible time wrapping my mind around the intangible.  Fortune Teller Hocus Pocus isn't for me.  I am - on the other hand - very interested in observing how people in history evaluated or measured their surroundings to better understand their world.  So, today, I am going to explore horoscopic astrology.  We'll see if I can't map my destiny :) The following is not an original article and not in my own words.   It is a journey of my readings copied & pasted here for you to follow... (The following excerpts were taken from Wikipedia.com) Horoscopic astrology is a form of astrology that uses a horoscope, a visual representation of the heavens, for a specific moment in time in order to interpret the inherent meaning underlying the alignment of the planets at that moment. The idea is that the placement of the planets at any given moment in time reflects the nature of that moment and especially anything that is born then, and this can...

I'm a G

That's G for Genius!!       When one of my commercial tanning beds quit on me last week I was shook! With only three tanning units in my salon, it is critical that all three beds are in running order.  But I just started this business, so, I surely don't have extra cash to be throwing at high-priced (or even low-priced) electricians.       I hit google to see what information I could find.  I know that when the problem first began, all of the lights in the bed would flicker while the timer was running.  This was strange to me and as I tried to make sense of it, I turned the timer off and back on a few times.  After about the third try, the bed wouldn't even attempt to light.      I read and read... and then read some more.  I wanted to understand how a tanning bed worked, so that I could somehow troubleshoot the problem.  I went to tanning bed parts destributor websites ...

One Stop Tanning Made The Paper!

It's going to be a good year!!  "...One new business that made downtown East Liverpool its home last year is One Stop Tanning on Walnut Street. In fact, owner April Galloway says she'll be celebrating its one-year anniversary on Feb. 22. She is also preparing to hire on her friend Mary Wymer to co-manage the establishment with her. Galloway believes that too many local residents work in Youngstown, Pittsburgh or other outside communities, contributing to a brain-drain that inevitably draws people away from East Liverpool. "Let's build our own community," Galloway said with emphasis. Towards that end, she says she has been talking with other downtown business owners about how to make it happen. Galloway admits that downtown revitalization will be a difficult path, but says that it is important enough to make the effort. "I think the most important thing is for small businesses to keep going, keep trying," she said. Read the F...
