Tonight I found myself needing some thin painter's tape. I was looking for something in the 1/4 inch range but had some wiggle room on that measurement. I looked around online to see if the product even existed and figured out I wasn't going to find it at any stores nearby so I got to thinking.
After a couple of hours if it quietly simmering in the back of my mind, it hit me. All I needed was a thick rubber band, an exacto knife, and a roll of any width painter's tape.
Now let me break it down for you one step at a time.
First, grab that nice wide rubber band and stretch it around your roll of tape ensuring it lays flat.
Lay the roll of tape on its side on a flat surface and gently press the rubber band all the way to the edge.
This is how it should look now.
Now using your craft/exacto knife, score all the way around the roll of tape, using the rubber band as a guide. Watch that you don't move the band by accident.
Now remove the rubber band and using gentle pressure, cut around the roll of tape with the knife in the line you just scored. Go around and around and around as many times as it takes to create enough tape for yourself.
See how my knife was getting pretty deep into the roll here?
I needed quite a bit so I kept at it for a few minutes, until my knife was nearly all the way to the cardboard at the center of the roll. If it still isn't enough, I'll repeat this process using the opposite side of the roll of tape.
Here's the nice narrow 1/4 inch wide painter's tape, ready for my project!
Check back in soon to see the latest project I'm working on. I'm hoping to finish it up over the next few days. Yippee!
Now I thought your previous house with totally without fault or flaw, but I must say that this one just might rival the other one! Everything is so well-coordinated. (And no, I'm not surprised! That's what you do!) The landscaping is simple and sophisticated, and will be breathtaking when the roses are blooming. The New Port Richey painting company is wonderful, along with the other details (copper piping especially!). I know you are so proud and happy at how everything is falling into place. Looking forward to the rest of the journey!

Hello again and thank you for your swift answer!
In the image you can see an updated after following your guideline.
Any ideia? Do you think is sintax?
Hey jdouglass, thank you for your support and collaboration!
Yes, this error is a little cryptic. Is it possible that your suitability table is missing a code of 2? If that doesn't look right, could you attach your whole logfile to this thread so I can take a look?
Thanks for attaching your logfile. Is it possible that your suitability table is missing a code of 2?
In the end I did cross the issues that were going on!
I am not exactly sure if it was indeed the missing code, but after trying hard and make some changes I could make it trough!
I guess your support was fundamental!
Glad to hear that the tool is running successfully!


Since Isabela is a natural isolated paradise, ATMs haven't made their way there yet and not all places take credit cards so keep enough cash around to avoid trouble.
Pro tip: book in advance online the tours and acommodation so you got that covered when you arrive so you can save the cash for eating and daily expenses there.
We usually associate the beach with flip flops, but you should remember that Galapagos is an adventure destination, not a resort so sometimes you'll have to walk trough volcanic landscapes not having the right shoes could make it uncomfortable and keep you from enjoying the view.
Its not that cheap to eat out in Galápagos, so if you can pack some snacks and a bottle of water you could save some money. Also, most beaches dont have stores nearby so having a snack in hand could be very useful.
This is not mandatory since they usually give you a full snorkel equipement when you book a tour, but having your own will allow you to do snorkel many free spots where you can watch sealions, turtles and many species.
Besides, that way you won't have to use a mask previously used by hundreds of people. Ew!
Although we strongly recommend you to take at least one paid tour to do snorkeling or trekking, there are plenty of free spots and activities in Isabela Island that will surely take your breath away!
Concha Perla is a great place to swim and snorkel. Its a shallow bay with calm and transparent water, the closest thing to a naturla pool.
You may see a greaty variety of fish, sealions, turtles and more.
Concha Perla is very close to Puerto Villamill, you can get there through a wonderful mangrove walk, just follow the directions.
Perfect walk for an afternoon in Isabela. This is a 5km road where you can visit many charming spots like "El Estero" or "La playa del amor".
You can also do this on a rental bike so you dont get too tired.
If you want to watch flamingos on their natural habitat this magical is ideal for sighting this type of bird.
In Santa Cruz Island and San Cristobal you will also find a giant tortoises breeding centers, but Isabela's its the most complete and its free!
It is very close to the Poza de las Diablas, you can walk from there.
If you are looking for a place to relax, Isabela has several beaches where you can simply lay down and enjoy the white sand and the sea. Our personal favorites are Puerto Rico Beach and Jobos Beach.
Although there are many free things to do in Isabela Island, we strongly recommend you to take at least one of these day tours so you can get the full Galapagos Experience.
All of these tours are mandatory guided by an authorized an certified naturist guide.
It is a treking tour all the way up to the volcano's crater at 1124 meters high. It can also be done on a horse ride.
From there you will enjoy this magnificent view of the enormous crater of 60x40km. Some people say the landscapes are so unique that you feel you are walking on Mars!
This is the most popular tour in Galapagos for a reason. You can swim under natural lava tunnels while watching Galapagos shark "tintoreras" sea turtles, sealions and rays.
Its a 5 hours tour and the price is $120 per person. Its worth every penny.
Tintoreras Tour – Swim with sharks in open water!
Half day tour to swim with sharks and enjoy out-of-the-world volcanic landscapes.
The price for the Tintoreras tour is around $45!
If you have any questions about your trip to the Galapagos Islands we'll be happy to help you clear any doubts or create a personalized itinerary for you.

Reflecting on the Flames
By Tanisha Gunby '21
When Yvette Copeland '21 woke up in the morning of Dec. 6, she received an alert to evacuate her house because of the nearby fires.
"We got the alert through a text on our phones at around 5:00 AM, and immediately left the house. We spent the night at our cousins house, until we were told it was safe to come back," Copeland said.
The fires in Southern California affected many in the community, and as a result, the school was closed for two days for safety reasons on Dec. 6 and Dec. 7. In an online survey taken by 243 middle school students, 68 percent of the respondents said that their residences were not affected. 74 percent of students knew between 1-10 students that were significantly affected by the fires.
About 15 percent of respondents were evacuated and said that they were surprised at how close their houses were to the fire.
"When I had to evacuate early in the morning, I wasn't able to watch the news until I was at a friend's house later that day. I could see the flames from my house, but I didn't really know how bad it was until I saw a news channel filming firefighters putting out flames several houses away from mine. It was shocking to see," Gisele Stigi '22 said in the survey.
Students said they were surprised by the fires and how it affected many people, including their peers.
"When I first heard about the fire, I was surprised and a little bit in shock, because I had never witnessed a natural disaster that affected people and was so close to me. I felt terrible for those whose houses and lives were affected, and I thank the extremely brave firefighters who saved the day," Alex Hyman '23 said in the survey.
Survey respondents said they felt that the school's closure had a positive effect on our community.
"I'm glad, that not only I got a break, but those affected did not have to worry about school on top of their current situation," Ryan Prybil '21 said in the survey.
X periods, homework and testing schedules were altered due to the sudden closure. During the two days off, about 83% of the survey's respondents said they received extra work from their classes. Most homework given was from math and world language classes.
15% of respondents had to evacuate
Some respondents said that there were little to no changes in schoolwork because of the fires.
"My schoolwork was not really affected at all due to the fires. If anything, I had more time to catch up on studying and other projects," Violet Barron '22 said in the survey.
Other students said that the fires had a big impact on their workload and the dates of their testing.
"I was able to catch up on a lot of work, but for math we got much more than an hour of homework when the limit was 30 minutes, and I had other activities such as sports practice and music lessons. Also, the day I got back I had a project and multiple tests everyday of the next week. Many of my X periods were cancelled, so the time for me to study and meet with teachers for my tests was taken away," an anonymous survey respondent said.

If a check appears to exceed a contributor's annual limit, seek a reattribution of the excessive portion or return it.
In order to correct an excessive contribution, a treasurer may seek a reattribution of the excessive portion to another contributor.
In either case, the treasurer must inform the contributor that he or she may instead request a refund of the excessive portion. The treasurer should also inform donors that a reattribution must be signed by each participating contributor.
A contribution is properly reattributed if the treasurer receives a statement signed by all contributors indicating the amount attributable to each donor. The treasurer must obtain the proper reattribution or refund the excessive portion within 60 days of the receipt of the original contribution.
A nonconnected committee receives a $6,000 check that is drawn on a joint account but signed by only one account holder. The treasurer deposits the contribution and seeks a reattribution by asking the account holders whether they intended the contribution to be a joint one, partially attributable to the second account holder, or whether the treasurer should refund the excessive $1,000. Within 60 days of receiving the original contribution, the treasurer receives a statement, signed by both contributors, reattributing $1,000 to the second account holder. The committee may now keep the full $6,000.
A nonconnected committee receives a $6,000 check that is drawn on a joint account but signed by only one account holder. The treasurer deposits the check and attributes $5,000 to the signer and $1,000 to the other account holder. Within 60 days of receiving the original contribution, the treasurer sends a letter informing the contributors of the reattribution and of their right to a refund. Assuming neither contributor objects, the committee may now keep the full $6,000.
If the written instrument does not have more than one name imprinted on it, the committee may not make a presumptive reattribution, but the treasurer may ask the contributor whether the contribution was intended to be a joint contribution from more than one person. The treasurer must inform the contributor that he or she may instead request a refund of the excessive portion. The treasurer should also inform donors that a reattribution must be signed by each participating contributor.
A committee must retain copies of reattributions for three years.
This section describes how to report contributions for which the committee has requested reattributions from contributors.
When itemizing a contribution that must be reattributed to correct an excessive amount, include a statement on Schedule A noting that a reattribution has been requested.
Information on the contribution as it was reattributed, including the date the reattribution was received.
If the committee does not receive the reattribution, the committee must refund the excessive portion within 60 days of the treasurer's receipt of the contribution. Disclose the refund on the next report.


Many years ago Peter owned a small general contracting firm. I first encountered Peter when I managed housing programs for the City of Milwaukee. He was 31 and I was 27.
In those days the technology didn't exist to easily facilitate year round housing rehab so from January – February Peter went south and lived on an island. I thought the life he lived was pretty cool. But how did he do it?
His grandmother purchased a Florida-style home in the late '30s before anyone knew gulf front property would have value. The home is an original Florida-stilt home reminiscent of a Bay View cottage – on stilts. Stilt homes were built (and are still built) as protection against flooding.
It isn't much of a home and the home itself probably has a value of $100,000. The lot is worth $1.5 – 2.0 million (Mark Twain: "Buy land, they ain't makin' the stuff anymore.") Sadly, it's a matter of time before the home is torn down and replaced.
The island was settled in 1889 and by 1928, a ferry service from the mainland carried food, supplies, workers and visitors to the island. It was affordable for Peter's grandmother and gave her and her family a place to get away from Wisconsin's winters.
In the early '60s a bridge/causeway was constructed to more easily bring people and supplies to the island. Significant population growth occurred in the '70s, which – other than the 2007 real estate recession – caused home values to increase dramatically. A new causeway replaced the old in 2007.
Peter's grandmother wasn't thinking investment or appreciation when she bought her home. She just wanted a place to live that was warm when Wisconsin was cold. Peter now spends 4 months a year on the island. Inheritance. Thanks grandma.
I visited the island graveyard where early settlers have settled. I don't know if Peter's grandmother is buried there but I do know thatmany grandsons and granddaughters are the beneficiaries of relatives buying real estate way back when. Sometimes luck has its own reward.
I tell this tale because it's cold in Wisconsin and maybe a warm tale will help pass the time. My grandmother bought property in Cooperstown Wisconsin, not Sanibel Florida, so there is no tale there. C'est la vie.
Seamus and I remain available to discuss your real estate questions, want's and needs over a warm cup of coffee. We might even have a real estate tale that will enlighten you about the correct way to buy a home.


Thomas Nast (1840-1902), often called "the father of American political cartoons," is equally famous for his depictions of Santa Claus and Christmas regularly published during the second half of the nineteenth century. Nast is credited with popularizing the image of a distinctly American Santa Claus in the United States.
Nast drew "The Same Old Story Over Again", shown here, in 1872; the illustration was published in Harper's Weekly on January 4, 1873. By this point in his life, Nast had been working for Harper's Weekly for ten years. The illustration shows two sleeping children, likely his own children Thomas Jr. and Edith, dreaming about all the wonderful childhood stories with which they would have been familiar. Nursery rhymes and children's stories dominate the scene; Puss in Boots, Jack and Jill and Little Red Riding Hood can be seen among the many other stories.
In the upper left hand corner of the illustration, the Mother Goose nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle" is depicted showing the cow jumping over the moon. In 1880 Nast would publish "Merry Christmas" in which he showed Santa dancing with Mother Goose. In "Merry Christmas" Nast portrayed the entire "Hey Diddle Diddle" poem in the background. "The Same Old Story Over Again" depicts a second Mother Goose nursery rhyme: the story of Little-Bo-Peep. Near the mouth of the sleeping child on the left Nast shows Bo-Peep searching for her sheep who roam aimlessly around her. In 1879 Nast would also draw an entire Christmas image dedicated to Little Bo-Peep, which also featured Santa Claus.
In addition to the children's stories, Nast includes vignettes of the United States military in "The Same Old Story Over Again." The artist was a big supporter of the soldiers and sailors who fought to keep the United States safe and unified during his lifetime. Nast had drawn pro-military images less than a decade before during the Civil War. Throughout his career Nast would draw cartoons supporting pay raises for military personnel as well to advocate for increased government spending on the military. On the right side of "The Same Old Story Over Again" soldiers are shown being led by a color bearer who proudly raises the flag high in the air.
In the center of the lower portion of this illustration Nast depicted Santa Claus with his sleigh and reindeer ready to deliver his large sack of gifts to good boys and girls. Santa is dressed from head to toe in his fur coat and pants. Even the gifts that Santa Claus is set to deliver show the patriotic theme of the United States flag and a drum and bugle that would have been used by the military. You can see one drum on his back and one more among the presents in his sleigh.
"The Same Old Story Over Again" would be republished in 1890 by Harper's Brothers in the book of collected images titled "Christmas Drawings for the Human Race." This book featured many of Nast's Christmas drawings published in Harper's Weekly over the years together with a few new ones.


If you ever had a-hankerin' for a squid po' boy, Christina Orchid will serve one for you at her pop-up crab shack.
The pop-up crab shack will be open in Random Howse for the run of the film festival – opening at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 4, and closing following the last movie of the festival on Oct. 8. Random Howse is serving as the "hub" of the festival. The Barnacle will offer a selection of scratch cocktails, local beers and Doe Bay Wine Company wines.
Orchid's restaurant will feature the aforementioned squid po'boy, oyster po'boys, burgers made by Red Rabbit Farm – which Orchid owns with her husband Bruce – beef, vegan fish and chips, and more – all of which is a divergence from the gourmet cuisine she's known for which.
