I live in North Eastern Oklahoma. I opened the drawer for the ice cream scoop and saw a snake. I almost had a danged heart attack. It was a small one, probably about a foot and a half long. At the fattest point, no larger in diameter than a nickel. The snake was black but it had a .diamond. shaped pattern along its back. I have searched images on google and can’t seem to find a picture that looks similar. I did see the diamondback rattlesnake but it did not have the rattles on its tail. Does anyone know what kind it might be. I don’t remember what shape the head was. I KNOW. Should have been the first thing I looked at. I have already got that lecture from the hubby.

Jack is my nearly 8 month old labador retreiver. Hes potty trained, very good with kids, is in basic dog training and we go for a walk every single day. I watch Ceaser like constantly, so i know how important walking is for him, espcially since hes a big guy and a pup. He learns quickly mostly everything but he will not stop chewing stuff. Hes chewed up a wall, shoes, the linolium in the kitchen, hammers, tools, clothes, blankets, carpet is gone and now hes been working on our couch. I’ve tried the bitter apple sprays, other flavored sprays that supposed to deter him. I’ve got him bones to chew, toys etc but they’re just not enough i guess. I don’t know what else to do. We have to crate him whenever we leave the house, I don’t have a job so i’m here pretty much all day and stuff so he’s with me all day( or in the crate for very long i think thats mean). He’ll do his bad chewing anytime someone isn’t in the room, I could just hop in the shower and come out to a part of the couch cushion is all over the floor. when i walk in he runs away knowing he did wrong but he still does it. i just can’t get him to stop. we walk plenty i just don’t know.i appriciate any advice you can give.

also, he piddles every time someone comes over, like just gets uber excited and covers ppls shoes lol. its not a whole of piddle, just a bit. thankx.

The film opens with a short prologue narrated by Optimus Prime, depicting a group of primitive men in the year 17,000 BC are attacked by The Fallen, whose forces build a gigantic device.

Two years after the events of the first film, the Autobots have joined forces with the British and American military to form an organization named “NEST”, to combat the Decepticons hiding out on Earth. NEST goes to Shanghai, China, encountering Decepticons Demolishor and Sideways. Sideswipe kills Sideways with the help of Arcee and the twins, and Optimus and Ironhide kill Demolishor, who in his last words says that “The Fallen will rise again”.

Meahwhile, while preparing to head off to college, Sam finds an AllSpark shard in the jacket he wore when he killed Megatron. Upon touching it, Sam starts having outbreaks of seeing Cybertronian symbols in his mind. Eventually, the shard also ends up bringing various kitchen appliances to life, ultimately causing Bumblebee to wreck the Witwicky family’s house while trying to destroy them. After this, Sam entrusts Mikaela with keeping the shard locked up. Wheelie then tries to steal it from Mikaela, but he gets captured by her.

Soundwave hacks into a satellite during a meeting between American National Security Advisor Galloway and Optimus Prime, and discovers the location of both Megatron’s corpse and a second AllSpark shard. Soundwave deploys Ravage to retrieve the shard with Reedman before joining the Constructicons and the The Doctor to the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss to revive Megatron. Megatron flies to a Decepticon spacecraft on one of Saturn’s moons, where he attacks Starscream, and reports to the The Fallen that the AllSpark was destroyed. However, Megatron learns from his master that AllSpark’s knowledge was passed onto Sam Witwicky, who now holds the key to finding an energon source on Earth.

At college, Sam meets his roommate Leo Spitz, who runs an alien conspiracy website. As his outbreaks continue, Sam gets harassed by Alice, supposedly a co-ed. And after one of such outbreaks, Sam calls Mikaela and she comes to his aid. Mikaela arrives, finding Sam with Alice, who is revealed to be a Decepticon Pretender. Mikaela, Sam and Leo drive off with Alice chasing them. Mikaela disposes of Alice, but their car promptly gets carried away by Grindor. After Grindor drops them into a warehouse, the trio are confronted by Megatron, Starscream, Grindor and The Doctor. Sam is then immobilized and The Doctor surgically extracts the information they need from Sam’s brain. Optimus and Bumblebee arrive, and the action moves to a nearby forest, where Optimus ends up taking on Megatron, Starscream and Grindor, with the latter getting killed. Optimus is ultimately impaled through the chest by Megatron and gets killed too. The rest of the Autobots arrive and evacuate Sam from the scene.

With Optimus dead, Megatron orders the Decepticons to invade Earth, while Soundwave hacks into all television signals to broadcast The Fallen demanding that Sam be surrendered. Meanwhile, Galloway shuts down NEST and Sam’s parents are captured by the Decepticons in Paris.

Sam, now a fugitive, flees with Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee, Wheelie and the twins. Leo suggests seeking the help of his website rival “RoboWarrior”, who turns out to be former Sector Seven agent Simmons. Simmons concludes that the symbols could only be read by a Decepticon. Mikaela thus releases Wheelie, who explains that the symbols are the language of the Dynasty of Primes. He can’t read it so he leads the group to the Smithsonian where they reactivate Jetfire. When Wheelie finds out about Jetfire becoming an Autobot, he decides to switch sides too. After getting updated on the situation, Jetfire teleports the group to Egypt.

Once there, Jetfire explains that the Primes used suns to power the AllSpark by using machines called Sun Harvesters, which use the Matrix of Leadership as a key. He also explains that activating the harvester would end life on Earth as the Sun would be destroyed. While the Primes intended that Sun Harvesters not be used in a star system with lifeforms, one of their own — thereafter known as The Fallen — dishonored this, and a war over the Matrix ensued. The other Primes then took the Matrix from him and sacrificed themselves to seal it away at a hidden location in the desert. Jetfire then translates the Symbols into some kind of riddle-like directions, and encourages Sam to try and revive Optimus using the Matrix.

They ultimately find the Matrix in Petra, Jordan, but when Sam takes it, it crumbles to dust, which he piles into his sock. Simmons contacts Lennox and asks him to bring the Autobots and Optimus’ body to Egypt. As Lennox’s team arrives, so do the Decepticons. Lennox’s superiors order a full scale military operation to support Lennox and the Autobots. Devastator is formed and climbs a pyramid trying to uncover the Sun Harvester, but is ultimately destroyed by a rail gun round fired from

We are getting ready to replace our kitchen counter top. Our kitchen has white cabinets, and our counter is a small L shape. We have a black stove, black microwave, and a white fridge. We will be using Formica, with the intent to resell the home.

I want to choose something that will appeal to buyers. Our wall color in our kitchen and dinning is Ivory.

Which counter top would you choose. Click the link to look at the options I have selected.

Thanks in advance for your help.

We are welcome a male, golden retriever puppy into our household.

Our mud room is cordoned off the rest of the house with baby gates. Inside this area, there is a set of stairs leading the basement. The basement is very large and unfinished (with painted concrete floors). The room seems perfect to keep the puppy’s crate and feeding/other supplies in, especially since there are two doors that lead the backyard.

However, from things I’ve read, it says your puppy should be in a crate near other humans. However sound travels in our house VERY easily and we have some light sleepers, thus we thought if there was any whining or barking the basement would be a good idea.

Also puppies shouldn’t climb stairs, should they. Is it smart to have his crate in the basement and the area in the house he is allowed in upstairs. He will probably spend a lot of time in the mud-room since its next to kitchen/near others.

Help please.

Without tearing up the cabinets, of course. It was a very cute tempered glass cutting board shaped like a hamburger. I want it back.

We have stainless steel appliances (except for the broken white dishwasher) and light wood cabinets. I can’t seem to pick a color that makes sense.

Would it be better to paint the cabinets white and settle on a bright color. To make it more confusing, the floors are cherry wood. Please help. I’ve attached an image of the kitchen below.

Counter tops are actually dark grey but look greenish in the picture.

We just bought our first home (yay) and I need ideas for the color of the kitchen - it’s a large kitchen with white appliances and light maple cabinets.any suggestions.
