make curtains out of sheets! cheap cheap! See more What others are saying "diy curtains from bedsheet" "love this idea for inexpensive and easy curtains - when you have as many windows as we do, that's how it has to be!I concur!"... I have heard that sheets make quick and easy curtains, but I didn�t want to just push the curtain rod through the finished hem of a bed sheet and have that scrunched look�not for this room anyway.
So here is how you can hit the jackpot on these long flowing curtains that all put make themselves. Flat sheets are a standard size of 66 inches wide x 96 inches long. If you wanted your panels to be a little more full you could use a full size sheet which is 81 inches wide and 96 inches long. | c4 |
When Do Puppies' Ears Open?
The ears of puppies open when they are about two weeks old. Until that point, the ear canals are sealed. Because of this, puppies are functionally deaf when they are born.
Because the gestation period for dogs is relatively short, many parts of puppies' bodies, including their ears, are not fully formed when they are born. Silence is necessary as the puppies' ears are developing. If noise enters a puppy's ears, pressure changes from sounds could damage structures inside of them.
Typically, a puppy's hearing reaches its full development a week after the ears have opened. Puppies' eyes also open after about two weeks, but they take longer to reach their full function.

The land occupied by Canada was first inhabited for thousands of years by First Nations people. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored and later settled on the Atlantic coast. In 1867 through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. It was not until the Canada Act in 1982 that all remaining dependence of Canada on the United Kingdom was ended.
Today the Country of Canada is made up of 10 provinces and 3 territories and is represented by two official languages, English and French. Heavily dependent upon immigration for growth, Canada is recognized as one of the world’s multicultural centres. | c4 |

As parent, all you want is for your child to be healthy and happy. So when you learned your child has type 1 diabetes, you probably felt anxious or upset. Your child might have felt that way too. Although diabetes is a life-changing diagnosis, it doesn’t have to become your life – or your child’s life. Your family can still enjoy their favorite activities, and your child can still live a fulfilling and happy life.
The first step is to learn as much as you can about diabetes. You can do this by reaching out to your pediatric endocrinologist, family physician, a certified diabetes educator, a registered dietitian nutritionist and other healthcare providers. These specially trained professionals should also be part of your child’s diabetes care team. They can answer your questions, provide support and create a diabetes medical management plan (DMMP) to share with school personnel, daycare workers and other care providers.
As your child grows and develops more independence, his or her involvement in diabetes self-care also changes. Below are general guidelines to help your child manage type 1 diabetes during different phases of his or her life. Make sure to talk with your physician or certified diabetes educator about these phases, and whether your child is ready to advance to the next level of responsibility.
Generally, children younger than 2 are too young to know what’s going on. As a parent, you’ll have to manage all aspects of your child’s diabetes care. It’s important to stay calm, and test blood glucose levels and give insulin injections quietly. Comforting and reassuring your child afterward can help him or her become more comfortable with the process.
Children ages 3 and 4 begin to understand what’s happening around them and why. This is a good time to explain diabetes-related terms and what you are doing to treat their diabetes – simply and often. Try to make certain your child understands that he or she didn’t do anything to cause diabetes, and that what you’re doing helps them control the disease. It’s important to explain to your child that controlling diabetes allows him or her to participate in their favorite activities.
Children ages 5 to 12 are better able to think on their own, and they want to do things for themselves. Slowly let your child do his or her own blood glucose checks and plan meals, but stay involved. Your child’s maturity, skills, readiness and interest can help you determine how much responsibility they are ready for. But if you’re unsure, you can reach out to a member of your child’s diabetes care team for guidance and support. Just make sure to answer any questions your child has, and talk openly and honestly about diabetes. This will help your child become more comfortable with managing the disease.
Often, teens want to be spontaneous, and to be masters of their own lives. This means wanting to do, eat and try new things, as well as testing their limits. Teens also experience growth spurts and body changes, which can make managing blood glucose levels difficult. They often don’t think about, or understand, how their actions can affect their health, especially if they have diabetes.
Help your teenager through this difficult time by being honest, sensitive and supportive. Explain that independence comes with knowledge and responsibility, and that fully understanding and controlling diabetes can give your child the flexibility he or she wants. Talk openly – and frequently – about how actions always have consequences. It’s important to always practice healthy habits to keep diabetes under control.
Always remember that you’re not alone, and it’s OK to seek help and support – either from family members or other community members. Participating in a diabetes support group is a great way to meet other parents, caregivers and community members who also have personal experiences with managing diabetes. They can encourage and support you as you work to help your child manage diabetes. | c4 |

Imagine that your 10-page paper is lost within a pile of class notes or your lucky pen is probably lost between two textbooks that’s somewhere inside your messy locker. Whether you are a student or a teacher, it is very important to be organized. Whether you are a student or a teacher, it is very important to be organized.
Here are some steps that you can follow to get started!
Keep a planner. It can help you keep track of all the assignments and tasks that you need to do for the day. If you are a student, it is better to get a large planner (instead of a small one) so you can more space to write. After getting planner, use it! Do not let it sit inside your locker or desk! Write down important dates, assignments, tests, notes, meetings, etc.
Yes, a folder! Put any papers you need in its subject folder. Do not be lazy and stuff the paper into your bag; you can easily rip that paper or lose it. With a folder, you can find it when you need them. Remember to clean out your folder every month to get rid of papers you no longer need. Having extra paper will make your folder heavy.
When you take notes, remember to put the date at the top of the paper. So when you need notes from a specific day, you’ll be able to find it. It will save you time from rummaging through the notes.

Everyone has stories about how dry the Thanksgiving turkey was at a relative’s house. When baked improperly, a turkey can be one of the driest kinds of meat available. Baking a turkey presents several problems that have to be overcome in order to create a moist, succulent, and flavorful bird that you would be proud to serve to your guests for any occasion. With a few special techniques and tips, a dry turkey will soon be a distant memory.
One of the biggest problems with baking a turkey that can cause it to be dry is the sheer size of the bird. Turkeys can range in size from under 10 pounds to close to 30 pounds. Turkeys that are on the upper end of the size range are difficult to cook to a safe temperature while maintaining moisture. Turkey needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 in the breast and 170 in the thigh and leg joint to kill any bacteria. Invariably, the turkey breast will get dry while the thigh meat is still raw. The best option to solve this problem is to buy two smaller turkeys instead of one big one. The will cook in less time and be more manageable in terms achieving proper temperatures for food safety.
The part of the turkey that has the most meat is also the part that is in the most danger of drying out — the turkey breast. The turkey breast is made up of white meat, which does not have a lot of intramuscular fat like the thigh and legs. Fat provides moisture to meat as it is rendered out during the cooking process. In fact, once the skin is removed, turkey breast is nearly 99% fat free. With such a little fat content, it is no wonder that the breast is easy to overcook and dry out. To combat this, moisture needs to be added in the form of a brine. A brine is a mixture of salt and water that works by the principle of osmosis. Osmosis is a chemical process in which substances flow from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. In this case, the high concentration of salt and water ( i.e. moisture) flows into the turkey, which has a low concentration of the two substances. A brine is made by mixing 3/4 cup of water for every one gallon of water, bringing it to a boil, and then cooling the mixture to room temperature. Enough brine should be made in the proper ratio to submerge the bird. Flavorings may also be added to the brine in the form of herbs and spices. As far as what herbs and spices should be included, use your imagination and let your palette be your guide. Flavorings like thyme and sage go well with turkey. A whole turkey needs to be brined in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Once the turkey has been brined, it needs to be rinsed off and patted dry. Next, transfer the bird to a roasting pan and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will ensure even cooking. In the meantime, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Once the oven is preheated and the turkey at room temperature, you are presented with another opportunity to add flavor and moisture by rubbing the turkey with butter over the whole bird and underneath the skin. Turkey is now ready to be baked in the oven. The turkey should be roasted until the internal temperature in the thigh and leg join reaches 170 degrees. Once the temperature has been reached, remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 45 minutes until carving so that the juices remain in the bird instead of rushing out onto the cutting board.
By brining a turkey and adding butter under the skin, a dry, baked turkey will be a thing of the past. | c4 |

In Utah the maximum speed limit on most Interstate highways is 80 mph (129 km/h) rural and urban is 70 mph (113 km/h). The minimum speed limit is 45 mph (72 km/h) on Interstate Highways when conditions allow.
Although 80 mph (129 km/h) is posted on most interstates, some stretches of I-80 and I-84 are posted at 70 mph (113 km/h) east of Salt Lake City. I-80 is briefly posted 65 mph (105 km/h)/truck speed and 55 mph (89 km/h) between US 40 and Wanship. Speed limit from Ogden to Spanish Fork on I-15 is 70 mph (113 km/h). The speed limit in Nephi is 80 mph (129 km/h), even though Nephi is an urban area. The Legacy Parkway, running between North Salt Lake and Farmington, has posted speed limits of 55 mph (89 km/h) along its entire length due to environmental concerns at the time of its construction.
Utah Department of Transportation raised the speed limit to 80 mph (129 km/h) on an additional 289 miles of rural interstate, including I-80 from Nevada to mile marker 99, I-84 from Idaho to I-15, and additional sections of I-15. | c4 |
The thickness planer sizes differ among manufacturers. Some measure 24 x 17 x 21 inches, while others are 22 x 16 x 20 inches. Some models are also capable of providing 33 ½ inches of material support.
What is the Thickness Planer?
The thickness planer is a tool used by woodworkers to trim the board thickness to the required size. Because the device can do the job quickly and efficiently, the tool has become a mainstay in woodwork shops.
Get the board you have to trim and measure it. No matter what the thickness planer size is, taking accurate measurements is always a must.
Set the planer deck to the needed thickness. You can do this by putting the board into the planer without turning the device on. Raise the deck if the board cannot get through. Adjust the deck if the planer is positioned too high.
Turn the planer on by flipping the switch. Regardless of the thickness planer dimensions, there is no need to adjust it to the specific thickness you require. You just have to set it well over that thickness level. This is necessary to keep the board from breaking or chipping.
Put the board through the planer. Take it off at the other end. Turn the deck crank down by a quarter. Send the board back in. Keep repeating this until you get the required thickness.
After you are done, turn off the machine.
A flat surface can be attained after a few passes with the jointer. But if you turn the board over to make more passes, it may not be parallel to the ones made earlier. This is where the thickness planer comes into play.
The thickness planer has a cutting head at the top and a flat base. The wood is fed through cutting blades via power rollers. This process will take out some of the material.
This will reduce the thickness. If the material has to be trimmed some more, extra passes can be made. This procedure will result in boards with flat parallel sides.
Depending on the thickness planer size, numerous boards can be put in to produce boards of similar thickness. While the function of these machines is similar, their durability will vary. The cost will differ per store as well, so check out as many as you can. | c4 |

To prepare the soft crab for frying, turn the crab upside down and gently open the back flap. You may need a pair of scissors. When the flap is open, remove all soft tissue – all the gross stuff. When the crab is cleaned inside return flap. You are ready for frying.
I use peanut oil and preheat to 350 degrees. You will need 2 bowls and 2 plates. 1 bowl for 1 cup flour and 1 cup bread crumbs. Another bowl with 2 eggs and 1 cup milk.
Place the crab in the egg and milk and wash completely cover the crab, then place the crab in the flour mixture. Place on a plate until all crabs are ready.
When ready to fry, place the belly down and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip the crab and fry 3 more minutes. Drain on paper towel. And enjoy! | c4 |
Do you ever feel like you love a dress so much but it feels a bit too girly for you to wear on a day to day basis? I absolutely love the blush and lace combo in this dress but I needed to toughen it up a bit to make it work for me.

Wild cats in temperate regions generally have hazel eyes, but domestic cats' eye colours vary from blue, through green to yellow, orange and brown. Within each of those colours there is wide variation in hue and intensity. The colours are not discrete, but form a continuum, for example between blue and green there are "sea-green" and aqua while between green and yellow there are lemon and lime shades. The coloured part of the eye is called the iris, a word that means "rainbow".
Some eye colours are linked to coat colour, for example colourpoint (Siamese pattern) cats have blue eyes. In most breeds, various eye colours were possible so breeders set chose the eye colour that harmonised with the coat colour and wrote that into the breed standard. While breeders might prefer certain pedigree black cats to have vivid orange eyes, in the general cat population black cats can also have green or yellow eyes.
There are two major factors that influence feline eye colour: iris pigmentation and blue refraction.
The iris has 2 layers containing pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). The outer layer is the stroma, consisiting of consists of loosely arranged cells. Underneath the stroma is the epithelium which contains tightly packed cells. Both the stroma and epithelium produce pigment, but in different amounts. The pigmentation of the iris is caused by melanin and the colour ranges from lemon yellow to hazel to deep orange or brown. In addition to this, the "transparent" structures of cats' eyes absorb and refract light much like a sheet of glass. Viewed head on, glass appears colourless but viewed edge-on it is greenish or bluish. The size, spacing and density of the fibres in the stroma determines how it reflects and refracts the light, determining the shade of blue. Just like glass, the transparent structures in cats' eyes are transparent blue, ranging from practically colourless to deeper blues and violet-hued blues. The combination of the blue refraction and iris pigment produces the overall eye colour. Looking into a cat’s eye is like looking through a blue-tinted window; the blue tint affects how we see the other pigments present in the iris.
The iris pigmentation and the transparent structure pigmentation are both controlled by multiple genes in different places on the chromosomes (polygenes). Littermates can inherit different mixes of these genes from the same parents and have different eye colours. Different mixes of polygenes causes the continuum of shades.
The type of colour and the intensity depends on the number of melanocytes in the eye and how active they are. If there are no melanocytes, the eye appears blue (or in rare cases, pink which is due to the colour of the blood vessels). A low number of melanocytes gives green. A high number of melanocytes gives orange. A second factor is how much pigment those melonocytes produce (activity). Those that produce less pigment give a lighter shade, while those that are more active and produce a lot of pigment give the deeper shades. There is no single inactive/active switch, so there are varying shades inbetween. Eyes with a low numbers of melanocytes (green) can range from pale green (less active melanocytes) to strong green (industrious melanocytes). Similarly, the yellows range from light amber to deep copper. The activity levels of melanocytes is genetically determined so it is possible to selectively breed for either deeper or paler eye colours. The way that light passes through the various blue-tinted structures gives us the final visible colour.
Kittens are born with blue eyes. The adult eye colour develops around 6-7 weeks old, but may not reach its adult hue until 3-4 months old. During a cats' lifetime, illness and injury can cause variations in eye colour, but there is no truth in the old wives' tale that feeding a cat on fish will cause its eyes to change colour! That tale is due to old wives weaning kittens (probably onto boiled fish in the days before commercial cat foods) around the time the eye colour naturally changed.
There is also some pigmentation on the inside of the eye and a highly reflective area behind the retina called the Tapetum Lucidum. This is an iridescent layer of tissue that reflects light back through the eye. and helps cats see in low light - it also causes eye shine in flash photos. Most blue-eyed white cats lack the Tapetum Lucidum; their eyes reflect a dull red colour (caused by the blood vessels) rather than an iridescent eye-shine.
Kittens are born with blue eyes and this is not a guide to their adult eye colour! In a few breeds, the blue colour is permanent, but in most it will be replaced by another colour starting around 6 weeks old. The blue colour depends on the intensity of blue refraction.
Blue eyes are a feature of colourpointed cats where the colour is linked to the temperature-dependent albinism that produces the colourpoint pattern. The blue colour varies in hue and intensity and breeders must selectively breed cats with the best eye colour to try to pass on that colour to the kittens.
Blue eyes also occur in white cats and are associated with the epistatic white (often called dominant white) gene which is quite different from albinism because it masks an underlying coat colour. The white spotting gene also affects eye pigment if there are white patches around the eyes. White cats can have one or both eyes blue. The non-blue eye will be whatever colour the breed standard requires for example in white Persians, the other eye is vivid orange. In the randombred odd-eye white cats, the non-white eye might be green or yellow or even a different shade of blue. For more on blue-eyed white cats White Cats, Eye Colours and Deafness.
The Ojos Azules is characterised by cornflower blue eyes, but the mutation is linked to lethal deformities if a kitten inherits 2 copies of the mutated gene. In this breed, the eye colour is independent of the coat colour. Other blue eye mutations that are independent of coat colour crop up from time to time. To date, most have been a pale blue rather than an intense blue and none of these other mutations have been deliberately bred.
A grey bicolour (tuxedo pattern) cat with intense sapphire blue eyes was found on a country road in Windellama, New South Wales, Australia by A M Schnieder. Since the Ojos Azules has not been imported into Australia, this represents a spontaneous mutation among the feral population. Whether it is the same as the American Ojos Azules mutation is not known.
Green ranges from a yellowish-green through gooseberry-green to deeper greens and blue-toned greens. Some of the older standards spoke of grass-green eyes, indicating the green be as rich as possible. Green tints and flecks also appear in some hazel brown eyes.
The Chinchilla Longhair (Chinchilla Persian) and its shorthaired equivalents are notable for their black-rimmed sea-green eyes. Aqua (blue-green) is found in the Tonkinese which is intermediate in type and colour/pattern between Siamese and Burmese cats. The Siamese has blue eyes while the Burmese has orange eyes.
Yellow varies from a pale lemon to more vivid hues. There is overlap between the yellows and browns (pale hazel or tan) and also between yellows and greens.
While the boundary between yellow and green may be fuzzy, there is no mistaking an orange-eyed cat. The colour is often described as coppery. Many of the breeds developed by early cat fanciers in the UK called for orange eyes as the pale greens and yellows were considered undistinguished, while bright orange complemented the coat colour.
Brown covers a wide range from hazel (the normal colour of temperate climate white cats) through to darker browns. Some browns appear tinted or flecked with green, orange or yellow.
The scientific term for odd eyes is heterochromia iridium (different coloured irides). It can be genetic (inherited), congenital (development defect) or acquired (illness, injury, medication). In the cat fancy, odd-eyes means having one blue and one other-colour eye. Odd eyes are most common in epistatic white cats where one eye is blue and the other is orange, yellow, brown or green. Pedigree odd-eyed white cats have one blue and one orange/amber eye, but in randombreds the non-blue eye may be yellow, green or brown. Another form of odd eyes is found in white cats where one eye has a tapetum lucidum (green eye shine in the dark) and one eye lacks the tapetum (red eye shine). These different eye shines are seen in reflected headlights or flash photography. Bicolour cats with a high degree of white on the face may also have odd eyes.
Heterochromía from birth is common in cats (blue/amber), horses (blue/brown) and some breeds of dog (blue/brown). It is uncommon in humans. In cats, there is no specific gene for "odd eyes," but it is associated with the white spotting gene and the white masking gene (epistatic white/dominant white). These genes prevent pigment production in the embryonic stage, which includes the pigment of the iris. If some melanocytes (pigment cells) remain active in the eye area, this is sufficient to make the eye green, amber, brown or yellow etc. Depending on the activity level of the melanocytes, the eye colour ranges from blue with other tints through to fully coloured, and from pale through to intense colour. During the cat's lifetime, the effect may be incremental so that the intensity of eye colour deepens, gradually replacing the blue colour.
Heterochromia is mostly found in cats with white coats or white patches. Occasionally it is seen in coloured cats. When present from birth, it can be a result of congenital abnormality (birth defect), mosaicism (merged embryos), or a somatic mutation in some cells that form the skin and eye (birthmark). These are not hereditary and this form of heterochromia is not passed from parent to offspring.
Odd-eyed white cat photographed by Rodrigo Arancibia in Iquique, Chile. She shows no sign of deafness. her kittens are solid white, indicating the dominant white gene.
Occasionally the different colour eyes are due to an eye injury or illness that has damaged the iris or one eye. In this case the trait cannot be passed on.
Partial heterochromia (dichroic eyes) occurs when different amounts of melanocytes, or melanocytes with different activity levels, are present in distinct areas of one iris. This gives the “pie slice” or “coloured halo” effects. Dichroic/dichromatic eyes have two colours in one iris. For example there may be a yellow ring around a green iris. This is considered a fault in show cats, but can be very attractive.
Less commonly, there may be a distinct differently coloured section (like a slice of a pie) in the iris, for example a brown area in a blue or green eye. This has been reported in some white cats. Instead of affecting the pigmentation of the whole iris, the white gene affects only part of the iris. One or both eyes can be affected; if both are affected there may be a mirror image effect. These are sometimes called "weird-eyed" cats because they are not odd-eyed in the normal sense.
The photo is "Gilbert" who has one blue eye and one dichoric eye.
Albinism is found in the Siamese to closely related Oriental breeds due to inbreeding. Greer Stothers (2013) provided photos of an albino Oriental Longhair, Pangur. Pangur's eyes look like faded lilac-blue. On close inspection, the pupil is a dull red, while what looks like lilac is just the pale blue refraction of the lens overlaid on a pinkish pupil. This makes Pangur very photo-sensitive. Pangur's parents are half-siblings with the same father.
Pink is not a normal eye colour in cats. It is found in pink-eyed albinos and is due to complete lack of pigment in the eye combined with very little blue refraction. True albinos entirely lack melanin and the iris is pale pinkish-white. Because of blue refraction, the eyes usually have a bluish hue, result in a blue-eyed albino (as with Pangur above). Very rarely the transparent structures are colourless and a pink-eyed albino results.
It was once believed impossible for a cat to have pink eyes due to the structure of the eye and true albinos had pale blue eyes, but there have now been several pink-eyed albinos reported in recent years. Albinism has been recorded in the Bengal breed and in its wild parent, the Asian Leopard Cat (shown here).
Pink-eyed dilution has been reported once in the cat (Todd NB. 1961. "A pink-eyed dilution in the cat" Journal of Heredity 52, pg 202). The type of dilution found in cats is blue dilution which turns black into grey. A second type of dilution seen in some mammals is "pink-eyed dilution" which gives a bluish-tan/fawn coat and also depigments the eye, giving a pink or ruby appearance. This has been reliably reported only once in cats when a pink-eyed female with a light tan coat was produced (none of her kittens survived so pink-eyed dilution in cats seems to have been lost).
Pale irises and underpigmented retinas also occur as part of Chediak-Higashi syndrome along with a pale coloured coat (seen in Blue Smoke Persians) .
In addition to the different colours, there are several distinct eye shapes. These are shown in slightly exaggerated form in the chart below. | c4 |

Is the wiring in your home old or faulty?
According to the National Fire Prevention Association, most house fires are caused by bad wiring. There are two main things can cause bad wiring to lead to a fire: the wiring gets exposed or it starts to spark and heats up close to ignitable materials.
When wiring starts to wear out, it can no longer transfer electrical currents properly. Additionally, holes can start to develop in the insulation. Both of these things increase your risk of getting electrocuted when touching light switches or sockets.
Not only does faulty wiring fail to transfer electrical currents properly, it also doesn’t reliably transfer power. This can lead to an inefficient electrical system, which means higher electricity bills.
Now that you know the downsides of keeping faulty or old wiring in your home, it’s time to learn the signs that you need an electrical upgrade! Please stay tuned for our next blog to learn more. | c4 |

Several techniques can help you remember the name of the person you just met.
Pay attention. Often in social situations, we are looking around at other people, checking to see where the food and drinks are, or worrying about making a good first impression. The trick is to give the other person your full attention and truly be interested in them.
Write it down. As soon as possible, write down the person’s name. After meeting your new neighbor, run home and grab a piece of paper.
Ask for help. At a social gathering, likely you have friends or acquaintances who know the person you just met. Discreetly ask them the person’s name, if you forgot. | c4 |

An acoustic guitar is a guitar that uses only acoustic methods to project the sound produced by its strings. The term is a retronym, coined after the advent of electric guitars, which rely on electronic amplification to make their sound audible.
In all types of guitars the sound is produced by the vibration of the strings. However, because the string can only displace a small amount of air, the volume of the sound needs to be increased in order to be heard. In an acoustic guitar, this is accomplished by using a soundboard and a resonant cavity, the sound box. The body of the guitar is hollow. The vibrating strings drive the soundboard through the bridge, making it vibrate. The soundboard has a larger surface area and thus displaces a larger volume of air, producing a much louder sound than the strings alone.
Historical and modern acoustic guitars are extremely varied in their design and construction, far more so than electric guitars. Some of the most important varieties are the classical guitar (nylon-stringed), steel-string acoustic guitar and lap steel guitar. A more complete list is given below, refer to the individual articles for more specific detail. | c4 |

3/09/2015�� To install the lever handle, simply slide the lever handle onto the post, insert the wrench into the hole on the lever shank and turn the screw clockwise (which actually causes the screw to come out of the post). This takes up the play between the post and the lever handle and securely fastens the lever to the chassis.
