No one likes to slip in to a cold bed at night or during the day if you are lucky enough to get a nap. After a while, our body heat will keep the bed warm, but it can a chilly experience until you get to that point. I am going to walk you through how to make a bed warmer that you just pop in the microwave for a few minutes before you put it on your bed. No need to have an expensive electric blanket or mattress pad heating up your whole bed when this can do the job for cheaper.
You can alter the measurements of the bed warmer to make a hot/cold pad to put on injuries.

I've had a little time to review the new Minnesota legislative and congressional redistricting maps. If you read on, you'll see what it means to the Iron Range and surrounding political universe. The congressional map is fairly simple. The districts largely retain their shape and constituencies. There are marginal changes in party index, some favoring the DFL and some favoring the GOP. Yes, Rep. Michele Bachman was placed in the MN-4, the DFL-leaning home of Rep.

Larry Millett: "All houses are precious vessels filled with history, and in the case of mansions the stories of their owners tend to be especially fascinating, if only because they are founded on the twin American obsessions of money and status. Mansions are validations to the world of their owners' success, and in the beginning dreams pour into them like summer sunlight. Sometimes the dream holds and sometimes, it fades, and when mansions come down memories always float like airy fugitives amid the dust and debris.

Today a five-judge panel has released the final redistricting plan for Minnesota's legislative and congressional maps. Though there are many large overviews of the plan in the state media, tonight I will spend some time analyzing the impact on northeastern Minnesota House and Senate districts and Minnesota's 8th Congressional District. In summary, the 8th CD is largely unchanged, with Rep. Chip Cravaack still here.

Thought for the day: Is it possible that America's 20th century strength (and the backbone of our success here in northern Minnesota's steel and timber empire) was the nation's forward-thinking and at times complete domination of the energy industry? Now that oil is becoming less reliable and plentiful as a commodity, we are struggling. Thus, can we even consider turning the clock back or is a new direction necessary to preserve America's standing? These questions are inspired by a post at AlterNet, "Why Going 'Back to Normal' is no longer an option for American economy -- and where we're headed now." The most interesting idea I found therein was the concept that, in history, the societies that dominate energy resources become dominant.
