Shade Sails - anyone used one?

I find most sites that don't work properly in Firefox don't work in IE. Most correctly written sites that verify with W3c work in Firefox. They often don't work properly with IE.

getting rid of cat smells

If you still smell it paint the floors with Bins, the shellac based version, $25 a gallon and worth every penny of it. Kiltz is crap and won't do the job. The Bins will do the job.

Grass Shears; Conflicting Sharpening Advice

All Internet sites advise us not to use a sawing motion with the hand file. However, if you view the bevel as a hill, some sites say that you should drawfile diagonally up bevel (uphill) and other sites advise to draw your file down bevel (downhill). Very confusing.
