The story of the deer that caused power outages last week was on my mind yesterday when I ran the alarm calls for the weekend. Imagine my surprise when the cause of a false alarm at a retail store was purported to be a snake. It is believed that the snake entered the control room for warmth as temperatures dropped. The snakes movement set off the motion detectors and thus the alarm. I believe that this is the first snake on record for my unit, although we have plenty of alarms caused by other animals. In fact, many alarms at warehouse stores are caused by birds that have entered and not been able to exit. What is the strangest animal that you have heard caused a false alarm?
Today, many people (myself included) use ancient chain maille armor techniques to create jewelry. Basically, artisans take small rings made of wire and weave them together in intricate designs. In this way, the ancient weaves are re-imagined for a modern audience. Samples of my work Zili Kit Although some people take raw wire and create their own rings, many rely on retailers for their needs. From that need, a growing cottage industry has sprung up to supply makers with kits that include all of the rings and instructions for a design. Most of these businesses use very simple packaging for their products. Zipper seal bags with simple printed labels are very common.

There is one operation that packages per order so that the rings come in a long, unlabeled, sausage-like strip of tubing with a heat seal between each type of ring. Customers
