Massachusetts has a history of supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, and in 2004 became the first state in the country to legalize same-sex marriage with passage of the Marriage Equality Act. The LGBT civil rights movement is widely considered to have begun in June 1969 when police and patrons of the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, clashed. As CivilRights.org explains: "At the time, there were not many places where people could be openly gay. New York had laws prohibiting homosexuality in public, and private businesses and gay establishments were regularly raided and shut down." To commemorate this milestone, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month is celebrated every June with parades and advocacy for LGBT rights.
Gay or straight, adolescence can be a challenging time in a person's life. Having a safe environment for young people to "come out" and be themselves in is very important to the Commonwealth, as evidenced by the creation of the Massachusetts Commission on LGBT Youth, which was founded to "recommend and advocate to all branches of state government effective policies, programs, and resources for LGBT youth to thrive." Below is a list of organizations across the Commonwealth and the nation that are working hard to make Massachusetts a safe and healthy environment for LGBT youth.
Health Resources:
- A statewide program, Safe Spaces for GLBT Youth provides "opportunities for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth to develop their full potential in a safe and supportive environment" through youth leadership development and peer-to-peer support.
- The Sidney Borum Jr. Health Center, located at 130 Boylston Street in Boston, provides general health and wellness services, mental health services, HIV and STD testing and treatment, birth control and emergency contraception, and assistance in finding health insurance to LGBT men and women age 12-29.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – LGBT Health provides information pertaining to LGBT health issues, including dealing with sexual orientation-based violence.
Violence and Suicide Prevention:
- StopBullying.gov is devoted to ending bullying in all forms, including creating a safe environment for LGBT youth.
- It Gets Better Project – Governor Patrick wants you to know It Gets Better. Also, check out these "It Gets Better" videos from President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and others at the White House.
- The Trevor Project is a national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth.
Social & Advocacy Groups:
- BAGLY – Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth
- CIGSYA – Cape & Islands Gay Straight Youth Alliance
- GLAD – Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders
- NAGLY – North Shore Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth
- PFLAG – Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays has a list of Massachusetts chapters on its website.
Additional resources can be found on the Massachusetts Commission on LGBT Youth's website.
Boston Pride Week runs May 31 through June 9; the 2013 Boston Pride Parade will be held on June 8. For a statewide list of LGBT Pride month events, visit LGBT MassVacation.

It was a record-breaking year in Hollywood as the sale of movie tickets topped $7 billion for the first time and more films than ever before grossed at least $100 million, thanks in large part to the box-office power of the small-fry set.
Movies starring kids ("Star Wars: Episode One -- The Phantom Menace," "The Sixth Sense," "Big Daddy"), movies for kids ("Toy Story 2," "Tarzan") and movies made by filmmakers who recently were kids ("The Blair Witch Project") are among the 17 films that blew past the century mark in 1999.
Topping them all, of course, "The Phantom Menace." Even if critics found George Lucas' "Star Wars" prequel wanting (and certain members of the public found Jar-Jar Binks annoying), the space flick lived up to the advance hype where ticket sales were concerned. The film, released in May, grossed an estimated $429.9 million, putting it at No. 1 on the 1999 list -- and No. 3 on the all-time list behind only "Titanic" ($600.7 mil) and the original 1977 "Star Wars" ($460.9 mil).
Before the clock turns over to Jan. 1, total ticket sales are expected to hit $7.5 billion at the domestic box office, up 7 percent from last year's then record $6.95 billion. Roughly 1.5 billion movie tickets were sold -- the most in 40 years. In an industry where careers live or die by the bottom line, those numbers ain't kid stuff.
"To have 17 films grossing $100 million or more is even more astounding than setting a new record for total box office," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Exhibitor Relations Co., the box-office tracking firm. "These 17 films, if you total up their [cumulative grosses], the total revenue for them is $2.8 billion. That tells you how strong the overall box office is."
Last year, a (relatively) measly 12 films topped the $100 million milestone. One reason for the business boom, of course, is simple economics: Movies cost more than ever. The average ticket price is now $4.85, with adult admissions at many New York and Los Angeles cinemas topping $9.
For their money, though, moviegoers are being treated to a batch of new theaters -- and all the cool sound systems, stadium seating and well-equipped snack bars that entail.
"The exhibitors have built some really good theaters and created wonderful moviegoing environments, and it can't be underestimated how important that is," said Dergarabedian. "Even with all these other new entertainment diversions, [the new box-office record] shows the power of the theatrical film.
"Audiences just crave that communal moviegoing experience, and the scale and scope, which cannot be re-created at home unless you have a 50-foot TV screen."
Here's the complete rundown of 1999's $100 Million Club, according to Exhibitor Relations:
1. "Star Wars: Episode One -- The Phantom Menace" $429.9 million
2. "The Sixth Sense" $275.7 million *
3. "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" $205.4 million
4. "Toy Story 2" $177.5 million *
5. "The Matrix" $171.3 million
6. "Tarzan" $170.8 million *
7. "Big Daddy" $163.5 million
8. "The Mummy" $155.2 million
9. "Runaway Bride" $151.9 million *
10. "The Blair Witch Project" $140.5 million
11. "Notting Hill" $116 million
12. "Double Jeopardy" $113.9 million *
13. "Wild Wild West" $113.7 million
14. "The World Is Not Enough" $111.3 million *
15. "Analyze This" $106.7 million
16. "The General's Daughter" $102.7 million
17. "American Pie" $101.7 million
Grosses through Dec. 26, 1999. Asterisk (*) indicates that the film is still in theaters and the final year-end gross will be higher.

Honda-light won't turn off, won't shift
I have a 2007 Honda Accord 6 cyl. I went to use it today and when I turned the key, absolutely nothing happened. Checking to be sure it was in park, I attempted to shift it to neutral and park again but it wouldn't shift. It is locked in park. I inserted the key into the override-as per owners manual-and it shifted but would not start. As the day got darker, I noticed that the dashboard is lit up with no key in it, ALL lights are off. I will say my son had been in the car last night trying to hook up his iPod with some adapter and it didn't work. Could he have blown a fuse? What could possibly have caused this?
Ask you son to undo whatever he did. He may have added a lead somewhere. If this is not practical, take him along to the repair shop had have him explain to the diagnostician exactly what he attempted.
Does your vehicle require you to depress the brake pedal before it will start or allow a shift out of park? Some do.
The fact that your dash is lighted when it should not be says something's really wrong.
lets assume battery is not dead. friend left lights on and drained battery. totally dead. could not shift car to neutral to push it back out of parking spot so we could jump it. so car will not crank? not sure of honda theft deterrent system. yes, have son retrace his tracks. what did he fiddle with?
Hey, sorry for the delay. For the life of me I could not remember my password-so many of the dang things! And when I did I wasn't able to log on. It turn out the battery was totally dead. That's it. My son left the dome light on for over 18 hours. My husband hooked it up to a battery charger for a few hours and then took it out for a very long ride to recharge it and it has been fine. I still do not know how or why the dash stayed lit but car has been no trouble since the recharge.

Business Mirror (Philippines)
February 22nd, 2014
TWO lawmakers have opposed a $20-million compensation offer being dangled by a mining company in connection with the 1996 Marcopper mine tailing spill, considered the worst mining disaster in the Philippines. This will not also address the repair of the Maguila-guila and Makulapnit siltation dams and Taipan pit. The said dams are in danger of collapse due to its considerably weakened walls and the big volume of water and silt contained therein. Its collapse will unleash a huge quantity of water and silt to the towns of Boac, Mogpog and possibly other towns in Marinduque which will result to loss of a great number of lives and millions of pesos in damage to homes and properties."

|Philippines: Marinduque 'pushed to the wall' by Barrick Gold
by Catherine Coumans, Mining Watch Canada via Rabble.ca
October 22nd, 2013
Canadas Barrick Gold, the worlds largest gold mining company that bought out Placer Dome, has spent the better half of a decade fighting the province in court rather than owning up to the companys responsibility to put things right in Marinduque. Once again, Marinduque is the bellwether, evidence that for all its rhetoric about responsible mining, the mining industry is still more concerned with its bottom line than in doing whats right. In spite of a long legal struggle with competent American lawyers, on September 17, Marinduque provincial administrator Eleuterio Raza told the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Inquirer) that Barrick was offering the province around 20 million dollars, take it or leave it. According to the Inquirer [t]he amount, however, would further be reduced to $13.5 million after litigation expenses had been paid. These are crumbs, said Raza, but we are being pushed to the wall. It is perfectly clear that this extremely low level of recovery from Barrick is woefully inadequate to protect the health and safety of Marinduquenos, which can only be secured through the comprehensive rehabilitation of all contaminated ecosystems and the stabilization or removal of shoddy dams and structures in the mountains of the island, as well as the tons of toxic waste that these dams are barely containing.
|Philippines: Marinduque 'pushed to the wall' by Barrick Gold
October 22nd, 2013
In the Philippines, the island province of Marinduque is known as a cautionary tale about the ravages of irresponsible mining. It took Canadian mining giant Placer Dome a couple of decades to wreak environmental destruction on major coral reefs in Calancan Bay and to severely contaminate the Mogpog and Boac Rivers with toxic mine waste -- none of which has ever been cleaned up. The ongoing environmental impacts are only part of the story.

combing sweet potato and morning glory's
Hi everyone!!
We have a question, we don't plant many annuals, however we have a new trellis for our porch this upcoming summer 2006. Can we plant sweet potato vine and morning glory's together. We thought this would give us good color of sweet potato bright yellow green and the various colors from the morning glory's. Also since our season is somewhat short in SE Michigan would we get a nice look. We would buy them from a local store that has already started them.
Any suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you can see, I live in z4 also. I plant the sweet potatoe vine every summer in a huge pot out front. I also like to plant morning glories on the side of my front porch. For me, the morning glory is at it's best in August. I wish it's season was longer as I love them but not in southern SD. Whereas, my potatoe vine has been growing all summer. Maybe if you start your mg vine indoors so it can be well established before transplanting it, you could have them at the same time. My mg vines are much thinner and more fragile than the sp vines. I love them both but have not actually tried them on the same trellis. I have also mixed the mg vine with the cup and saucer vine. They are both late summer vines for me. Well, have fun experimenting.

Motor power can make already crazy, awesome adrenaline sports even crazier and … awesomer. Just look at designs like the Gnarboard and Jetboard. Unfortunately, filling a garage with various forms of motorized gear could quickly bankrupt a professional sports star. If an experimental thrusting system from UK-based Dreamscience Propulsion makes it to market, it could save some of those dollars by rolling the fun of several types of motorized boards into one device. The electric propulsion system lends motor-muscle to skiing, surfing, paragliding and beyond. Read More
Lynx Smart Grill cooks your food on voice command
Spring is in the air, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. The temperatures have warmed; the snow has melted; flowers are blooming; and the smell of beef sizzling outdoors is once again teasing our noses.

Madre, Hablanos de la Guerra (Mother, Speak To Us of War)
Reviewed by
Sandy McKinney
This Jewish-Latina-Chilean-American author has turned out a zinger of a collection that will raise eyebrows in some areas, gratitude in others, and ire among the perpetrators of the outrages she documents in these bitter poems. Sparse and naked as the victims of man's inhumanity to man who populate these brief histories, each vignette outlines a different example of the human reality of war.
The bomb-scorched children of Baghdad, the gaunt shadows of Auschwitz, the desaparecidos of Chile look back at readers from hollow eyes, and every poem ends with an unuttered "Why?" Irony is not lacking here. Peeking out from images of desolation, single lines resonate with an acerbity only mitigated by the dispassion of stark objectivity: "During the bombing of Iraq / In the United States / The President plays golf / A man watches television / Some girls are raped in a bar / A woman paints her nails / Without blinking."
Occasionally, a moment of poignant beauty, laced with an anguished compassion for the young who are swept away in the rising tide of violence like random chips swirling down the eddies of an indifferent river, reminds readers that this is poetry: "The Vanished: One girl walked transparently / As if by a river / The other walked lifelessly / As if through a tunnel / One carried coins to buy blue flowers / The other wore a belt around her childish waist / They met midway / Embraced by death / Conspiring with hate // In an instant / The body of the girl in search of flowers / And the body of the other in search of heaven / Lay together / Asleep / Reconciled perhaps / In the dreams of the dead."
Both the preface, from the author herself, and a lengthy introduction by her translator make it clear that these poems are not merely a spontaneous emotional reaction to any single event, or even to the horrors of war itself, but are based on a lifetime of observation and even personal grief occasioned by the accelerating indifference of modern social groups to human rights and human suffering.
Agosín will be familiar already to readers of ForeWord from a review of her previous collection of poems, Poetry for Josefina, also released by Sherman Asher. It was a tribute to her Chilean grandmother, forced to emigrate to America in the wake of dictatorial oppression. Kudos to her publisher for having the chutzpah to publish this book. If readers make it past the mud-slinging reactions of international oil magnates and homeland patriots-of-new-formation, they can breathe a collective sigh of relief and believe again for a few moments that it's still safe to live in America.

How long for dahlias to sprout?
Hi, I planted a dahlia tuber about 3 weeks ago. (some of you will remember me because I asked how to plant it! :-) ) Well I was wondering how long it would take for the tuber to show signs of growth? I have it in a pot, keep the soil moist and make sure that it receives lots of sunlight..Thanks
If you dont ahve them very deep in the soil (just so the tuber is covered) they might be up before to long. If you planted like 6 inches down then it might be longer. If you have them in a pot inside you might want to set the pot outside on a warm afternoon in the sun it will help give it a boost too. It really is hard to tell but you'll know it when you see it! have fun
Thanks Dapperdahlia :-) I am still waiting for signs of growth. I scratched the surface of the soil a bit and I saw a stick like thing, but I think its part of the tuber. I only put a layer of about 2" thick soil over it. Making sure it gets lots of light.
GrannyMarsh---No I dont see any eyes. But do you mean if the tuber had eyes? I posted the pic of the tuber some time back because I couldn't make out head or tail of it. We concluded that it might have had an eye but couldnt be too sure....Do you think I should dig it up or just leave it?
As instructed, I gently dug up the tuber. I did see what looked like eyes, but they weren't green in color so I am not too sure. But I did take some photos. I know its difficult to tell from photographs but I will appreciate any ideas. I did put the tuber back in the soil and this time covered with less soil.
View #1:
View #2 (could the rounded portion in the top right hand corner have an eye on it?)
View #3:(ooppps. This photo is upside down, or more like 90 degrees off)
oh my, well none of my tubers looked like that...mine all looked more like potatoes. This looks like a piece of tree bark. Hate to break it to you but A, i dont see any eyes, and B i dont think its going to do much..there arent even any root hairs on it... sorry cant help you any more than that. I dont know much about the growing season in the Bahamas but maybe you could buy another tuber or if this one came from a company that offers to replace tubers that dont sprout call the company. I dont know...
Thanks DapperDahlia. Actually it looks better now then it did before I planted it LOL so I naturally thought soemthing was happening. Its pretty funny actually. I am laughing to myself right now. I bought it from a nursery over here. They have been around for quite a long time. Last time I checked they were not selling any more dahlia tubers, I think I might have gotten the last one in the box.
Thank you for your valuable opnion and time :-)
Hi Dazed,
Oh my...
I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure you have an offspring of this creature from the movie "Alien" in your garden. I believe it should be installed shallowly in your nearest compost pile where you can watch it for some growth but I wouldn't spend much time waiting. I do not see eyes there no matter how long I stare at it. I have never seen anything like the black goo on the right of view #1 and I have never seen a tuber look anything like this either. My free advice would be not to buy from that particular nursery again.
Hi there Poochella :-) Here I am again with my endless Dahlia questions :-).. The 'Alien' is hideous LOL. I hope my offspring are prettier than him! Yes, I am not bothering about it anymore and not expecting anything either, but I did put it back into the gallon container that I took it out of. I have no use for the container right now anyway. Oh the goo in view #1 is actually black soil that I didn't spray off. The soil was kind of wet when I took the tuber out and I just dunked it in water to rinse out some of the soil that it was covered with. I will let you all know if any miracles occur over here :-)
Thank you very much!
Hansevaldsen--I planted it almost as soon as I bought it, after spending some hours asking here on how to identify the parts etc. The nursery that I bought it from had it in a brown box on a shelf in an air conditioned room. I don't know how long its been there for, maybe since the beginning of the season, but it was I think the last in the box. I haven't thrown it out. Its lying in the same container at the back of the house.
I planed my Dahlia tubers about 18 days ago and I do not see any sprout, I followed the instruction that came with them how to plan and grow dahlia tubers. However, the next day after I planed them it was raining here in NYC for about three days continuously. Do you think that I have to wait more time or is there any thing that I can do. Thank you
Isn't it still too cold to plant out in NYC? Dahlias like the ground temp. to be 60* or better & will either just sit there & sulk until it warms up or they will just plain rot. You can gently dig around the neck & see if they've started to sprout. If they have, cover them up again & pretend you didn't disturb them! If they've rotted you're out of luck & will have to start again when the weather warms up more. It also depends on how deep you planted them. We always just cover the tubers with about 1/2" of soil & as the sprout grows we fill in until the ground is either level or slightly mounded around the stem-- the sprout starts sooner because it's not as deep & the ground is warmer because you have a bit of a hollow to hold the heat in.
Well I planted my dinner plates a week ago when it was warm, but now we have had a low pressure system hovering over us for 4-5 days of low to high 40's and rain all the time! Should I dig them up or wait it out?
Good day...
This is my first dahlias or gardening year for that matter...

Anyone have experience with cisterns?
I'm not really what you would call a homesteader, but could become one without much encouragement, lol. I grow vegetables, my husband loves to hunt deer and wild hogs for food, we both fish as often as we can, but property taxes and other expenses keep us in the rat race. Anyway, I am a water conservation nut (just my personal opinion, not an activist-type). We have a great well that goes about 320 ft or so and have never had problems with any water supply, but I absolutely hate to see water wasted. We are going to build a large (to me) barn that will be approx 3000 square feet, and I am interested in collecting run-off water into some kind of cistern to use for irrigation purposes in the garden. It's not a huge garden, but when I water during the summer, I really feel like I'm wasting perfectly potable water, when gray or run-off would do just fine. Does anyone here have any experience with this type of system that they would discuss? Please understand that I have very little basic knowledge on this. Would an above ground cistern be the way to go, or is below ground a better option because of the large storage areas you can get that way? How is water pumped from a below-ground cistern to use for irrigation?
Thanks, Mrs H
Aloha Mrs. H,
A lot of folks on our island use rain water catchment as their only source of water. Here, we don't have difficulties with freezing during the winter, so above ground "cisterns" are the standard. Basically, it's a swimming pool filled with water via a gutter from the house roof. Depending on what power supply you have will determine the pump used to get water out of it.
You get 1/2 pound of water pressure per foot of drop so if you could locate your cistern above your garden somehow, you might not need a pump.
Since you are building a barn, you could also use the water to fill the stock tank for the horses/cattle to drink out of and then pump from there for your garden. Another option might be a pond. That could be pumped from for your garden if there's enough water run off from the roof to keep a pond filled.
Considering the cost of a water catchment system, the more uses you can get out of it, the better.
Happy gardening!
Thanks for the reply. I had given up on getting any response, so I just got lazy about checking. I've been doing a fair amount of reading and net searching about the subject, and have decided on an above ground metal cistern that I will place on a concrete platform about 2-3 ft above ground level. It will be gravity fed to the garden. I managed to find a company in Texas that manufactures the cisterns, so that will make it a little easier. We're starting the barn this Fall, so I had better get to working, lol. I was amazed at how much water can be collected off a roof the size I am talking about.
Mrs H
I've been exploring the possibilities of building a cistern system too. While researching, I ran across this 58 page guide for your state...Texas Guide to Rainwater Harvesting . Enjoy.
Thanks for the link. I was surprised at the interest there seems to be in Texas for rainwater collection, but I guess it only makes sense since we have such a long dry season during the summer.
Mrs H
I have a small 500 gallon cistern off my gutter. It only gathers from 400 square feet of roof. It takes care of my little garden most of the time. I am tinkering with the idea of more roof coverage and a second reserve tank for when San Antonio get no rain for several weeks.
On my 400 square feet I get roughly
400sqft / 12 square feet
33 cubic feet of water x 7.5 feet per gallon
= 250 gallons per inch of rain on my small collection surface.

it's all about the craft
Hello honey bunches!!!
My how time flies at this super busy time of the year. There's so much going on, so many stories to tell, too many stories to tell. I've been wandering around for a few days wondering where to start. So this is my answer - one short blog story at a time.
So this one, as you have most probably worked out by now, is all about the craft.
And let me tell you straight up, there's not an enormous amount of crafty opportunities on our farm over the harvest months, but still one snatches a moment whenever one can.
I knitted the socks at the top for Bren's Mum Rene.
I want to tell you about the yarn though. A few years ago, on our annual pilgrimage to The Sheep and Wool show in Bendigo, my farmer boy and I met a gorgeous girl called Jess who sold wool under the name sofTrope. I was completely smitten with all of Jess's wares but particularly a chunky hand-spun wool that we bought several skeins of and I came home and knitted them up into farmer boy beanies. A few months later I got an email from Jess letting me know that her friend had showed her my blog and that she in fact knew us, or rather her boyfriend knew us and had worked with us here at Daylesford Organics for a few years. Small world hey!
Anyway, back to the matter at hand, I bought the most beautiful golden wheat coloured socks yarn, sofTrope sock, in a Facebook destash. It's even more gorgeous in real life.
Golden wheat - Bavarian Cable socks ravelled here.
These socks are for my farmer boy.
The other day I found myself with half an hour to kill in the city and wandered up to Morris and Sons for some cable needles. I was feeling a bit funny after a rather unpleasant exchange with a camera shop guy who didn't really want to talk to me when I couldn't remember what sort of camera I used but showed him with my fingers the size of the card that I needed the card reader for instead. No, it can't be a CF (compact flash) card because it doesn't have a flash on it I told him (oops). Yes, it's for me not for a friend I tried to assure him. No, I don't want to buy a crappy cheap one. Yes, I've taken the photos off my camera before......
After that, when I got to the wool shop I exhaled. I strolled around, resisted grabbing armfuls, found what I needed, went to the counter and the gorgeous girl talked me through plastic versus wooden and helped me make a decision.
Then she told me how gorgeous I looked!!!! My dress, my basket, my hair up with a paint-brush, my clogs and green tights. I fell in love and asked her if I could have a job and stay there forever and ever.
And as I was about to pay and unfortunately leave, I saw a pair of socks on the counter just like the ones above. When she told me they were knitted from a single ball of wool with no joins I knew I had to buy a skein for myself.
So I did. And I positively skipped out of there and forgot all about that camera shop man.
The farmer boy socks are ravelled here.
The cupcakes are for my long overdue giveaway winners Reannon and Nell. Sorry lovelies, they're coming soon. x
And then this arrived!!!!!
Remember that New Year's resolution I had to knit a cabled cardigan this year? Watch this space.
So that's me all craft caught up.
How about you? What've you been making?
Wishing for you a kind and random compliment, they're the best!!

harvesting the hazels
Autumn, you might just be winning me over.
A sweet sunny day spent harvesting our hazelnuts. Speckled, sparkly shadows. All the twittering bird songs. A new spoon carved. A tiny nest found and admired. Blackberry scratches all over my arms and legs. Warm sun on our faces and backs. A bit of humming, some chats about plans and stages, a lot of silence and listening. Sweet, cardamon spiced, Turkish coffee brewed on a flame and served up in little cups. A chunk of apple cake unwrapped from its waxy paper package. Nuts cracked and eaten, coffee drunk.
One basket full.
I hope your season is the reason for your gladness.

photos of tomatoes
I took these few photos yesterday or the day before. Originally I had them loaded into yesterday's post, but at the last minute I took them out and decided to give them a blog of their own. I'm not sure why but it felt right somehow.
These photos tell me so many stories and make me feel so many things.
These photos make me sigh with relief that we will in fact have a tomato season this year. I should know by now that ours are the last in all of instagram and in all of the southern hemisphere but eventually they do ripen and redden.
These photos make me feel icky at the thought of that black tar that coats my arms and fingers each time I reach under a vine to pluck out a fruit and how hard it is to get rid of that stain and smell.
These photos make my mouth water in anticipation of toast and thinly sliced tomato, at chunks in salads, at passata, at semi drieds and at cherry tomatoes gobbled up on the spot.
These photos remind me that I'll have to pick fast and often and slightly under-ripe to beat the pesky mice.
These photos make me appreciate and adore the red in the garden for all too soon we'll be back to the green of spinach and kale and winter.
These photos make me feel a bit melancholy at that dress's last summer in our family. Even though it's already verging on too tight I'm finding it hard to let this piece of sister history go.
These photos make me feel bad because this tomato season I didn't plant nearly as many vines as other years, but then I try to quickly remind myself that what we lack in tomatoes this year we more than make up for in other areas of the garden.
These photos make me thank goodness for my little plaited tomato spotter and hope with everything that I have that she'll love hanging out with us in the garden for years to come.
These photos make me glad that we didn't buy one single out of season tomato last year because it makes these ones feel like prizes.
And these photos will make a lovely record a year from now when I'm madly scrambling through my archives trying to work out when we usually harvest tomatoes around here. March. Autumn. Phew.
So now I'm sending these photos out to you, wherever you are, whatever you are harvesting or eating, I hope they make you feel happy.
Love Kate xx

Today we ate porridge with honey for breakfast.
I did a Pilates class and learnt how hard it is for me to balance on one leg with my eyes closed.
My farmer boy surprised me and took me out for an early lunch.
We came home, got the eggs, fed the animals and watered the garden.
Then we took out our map and walked through the orchard and it occurred to me that it is my job, my occupation, to wander through hundreds and hundreds of fruit trees and taste the fruit to decide what's ripe and needs to be picked.
After that we gave the farm gate stall a clean up and a fruit shuffle.
While we were at the stall a dad from school came past for some apples and a chat and then a lovely couple who read my blog and had driven an hour to get to us pulled up. It was so gorgeous to meet them, hear a little bit about them and then just as we were about to leave and drive on up to the house the woman gave me the most lovely letter she'd written on the drive out. She had been planning to leave it at the stall but gave it to me instead. The kindness and love in that letter totally made my day. Thanks Pauline xx
Then I baked this cake - which has had rave reviews.
And I hung some washing on the line.
I picked up the girls from school and from the bus stop.
Jazzy went off to dancing, Bren went to training and me and Pepper left Indi inside with her guitar teacher and we went out to pick apples, tomatoes, potatoes and other odds and ends.
Bren came home and made a spoon, the girls did some homework type stuff and I made soup and garlic flat bread for dinner. Everybody loved it. It's the best when that happens.
The second day of autumn was a lovely day indeed.
And now, after a mad scramble, all the girls are in bed and my farmer boy and I are going to sneak an episode of House of Cards. Shhhhh don't tell the girls we're breaking the no TV/movies during the week rule.
So what did you get up to today?
I hope yours was lovely.
Love Kate xx

our farm gate stall!
Our farm gate stall is one week old!
Sitting at the very front of our farm, built by our friend Jobbo - @thebuilderrecycles - made entirely from timber and tin found around our property, it is exactly what we had hoped for.
I can't tell you how much it pleases me to know that the apples we've been picking are going straight into the shopping bags of our lovely customers. There are no trucks, no cold-stores, no middle-men, no retail markups - just fruit and vegetables and flowers grown here, picked by us, certified organic and DELICIOUS!!!!!
I feel so very grateful for the support we have been shown so far. I love that Miss Pepper's BPOD (best part of day) each day is collecting the money from the tin. And I feel like this little farm stall is something we have spoken of and wondered about for so many years and now she's here - and isn't she gorgeous!!
If you are local, if you are passing by or if you've been dreaming of a day-trip to our lovely area - please pop by. We are Daylesford Organics - 19 Foxs Lane Musvale.
(That's not our postal address though.)
But speaking of postal addresses Reannon and Nell please email me yours so I can make and send you your cupcake motifs, yay!!
And to everyone else - I hope you find kindness and generosity when you share your dreams with the world.
Love ya's!

Hooked - a blog hop
This is pretty cute!!
It's a new book celebrating the crochet motif in the most gorgeous way. Hooked! by Michelle, Cecile and Sylvie Delprat is filled to the brim with all kinds of sweet motifs, there are hearts and flowers and cupcakes and mushrooms and apples and birds and skulls and so many more. Seriously, I want to make them all. And my girls want me to make them all for them too. They've already started designing brooches, decorations for their school books and patches to sew on their jeans.
I think it's a really great book; the styling, the patterns, the photos and the ideas are all beautiful.
But where to start??
Miss Indi has been begging me to make her some love heart bunting for her bedroom for ages, so I pulled out the cottons and started hooking.
And then just because they were too cute not to, I made an apple, a mushroom and a strawberry. I really want to make the cupcake next too.
If you are into cute and quirky and crochet, then this book is for you.
If you want to follow along on the blog hop - then this link is for you.
If you'd like to win a copy of Hooked!, six balls of yarn, and a crochet hook - then this link is for you.
And if you feel like it, just for fun, tell me which motif you like the best, or what you'd like to do with them, and I'll choose one or two from the comments and make them up and send them to you.
See ya later crochet potata!

All the little bits
Hello and happy new week honey bunches!!
Although it's only just begun, my week got off to a pretty shaky start this morning when I lost and then found my car keys in the garden where they'd been hiding overnight and are now soaked through so the clicker won't let me in and the car won't start. Then I couldn't to work out what Indi with braces could eat for her school lunch, couldn't find socks for Pepper and then I turned up to school to find that I'd totally missed the grade six parents' meeting. Oh well, onwards and upwards eh.
So although I'm still feeling a bit rattled by the morning and by the wind, I'm sticking to my appointment with my blog before I head off to my appointment with my beautiful Chinese doctor, the housework can wait.
Why don't we have a little catch up on what's going on around here.
Lately we've been;
Picking/Preserving/Eating/Marketing - APPLES!! Hooray for apple season. So far we've picked our Jersey Macs, Gravensteins, an unknown variety we call Daylesford Delicious and some Blenheim Oranges. All year we imagine the time when we can walk through the farm plucking apples off trees and taking big crunchy bites of them, I can't tell you how great it is to be here, now. I couldn't possibly count the number of apples I ate over the past weekend either, yum!
As well as eating them fresh we are also making dried apple rings, apple leather, apple pie, toffee apples and apple crumble...so far.
And this year we've decided that instead of sending all our apples off the farm to shops and markets, we're going to try to sell them from here. Right now, as I type this, our friend Jobbo who built our cubby-house is building us a cute little farm-stall at the front of our property. Hopefully in the weeks and months and years to come people will pop in and buy their apples here. Hopefully we'll be the local apple farm and rather than buying apples that have travelled in trucks and been stored for goodness knows how long, people will choose apples grown bio-dynamically, sun ripened, picked here by our hands, and stored no longer than a few days at most.
If it works well we might even sell other fruit and veg we've grown here too.
Picking - As well as apples, we've been picking and eating plums, lettuce, peas, beans, broccoli, beetroot, basil, cucumbers, potatoes, parsley, onions, carrots, tomatoes and shallots. I love summer!
Watching/admiring/photographing/writing - about wooden spoons. These salad servers were made from both sides of a branch off a pine tree. We've been using them in our kitchen for the past few days but I still love this photo with one finished and one cut but not yet sanded.
I am so inspired and enamoured with my farmer boy's passion and his design and his direction, using the spoons in our kitchen is the icing on the cake.
Reading - a book about grief has been tricky because I have found myself totally immersed in it and finding myself grieving along with Joan for things past and imagined. I'm loving this book but finding it emotionally exhausting, terrifying and intriguing all at the same time. I think this is one of those books that will hang around and haunt me for the rest of my life.
Missing - my school girls.
Winding and knitting - a pair of socks in the most gorgeous golden sunshine colour. These will most likely be the slowest pair of socks I will ever knit - in purl with all these twisty cables - but they are a challenge and I love them already.
Feeling grateful - every single time I step outside.
I need to go now and walk down the hill to my parents' house where my girls have been making yogurt with their grandparents, auntie and cousins. I need to remember to change my shoes because clogs are no good for gravel or hills. We're having beans and cous-cous for dinner. I hope Indi can eat it too. Hopefully I'll get a chance to walk around the big block tonight. And then maybe I'll do a bit of the cute crochet project I've been making for a book review blog later this week. Phew!
So how about you, what are you reading, growing, loving, writing about, obsessing over right now?
I hope you're wearing the right shoes for the job.
I'll be seeing ya!
Love Kate xx

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - Although police have now revealed how Robin Williams killed himself, the Oscar-winning actor's fans, friends and even family continue to struggle to understand why someone who spread so much joy throughout the world could find so little in his own life that he decided to stop living.
Williams, who made no secret of his decades-long struggles with depression and substance abuse, killed himself by fashioning a noose out of a belt and hanging himself, authorities said Tuesday.
The frenetic funnyman who starred in such films as "Mrs. Doubtfire," ''Good Will Hunting" and "Good Morning, Vietnam," had announced only last month that he was re-entering a 12-step program to get his life back on track after months of nonstop work. His publicist confirmed after he died that he had been suffering in recent weeks from a serious case of depression.
Still, even family members were caught off-guard when his body was found in his San Francisco Bay Area home Monday morning.
"I'll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay," his 25-year-old daughter, Zelda Williams, said in a poignant statement released Tuesday.
"He was always warm, even in his darkest moments," she noted, adding she last saw her father when he recently celebrated his 63rd birthday. It was a day, Williams recalled, that she and her two brothers spent "sharing gifts and laughter" with their father.
Marin County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife, Susan Schneider, who went to bed around 10 p.m. Sunday. She awoke the next morning and left the couple's Tiburon home, thinking he was asleep somewhere else in the house.
When Williams didn't answer a knock on the door a short time later, his personal assistant found him dead in a bedroom. A pocketknife was nearby and Williams also had superficial cuts on his wrists.
Boyd said all evidence indicates the actor committed suicide by hanging himself. A final ruling will be announced after toxicology reports and interviews with witnesses are complete.
The lieutenant declined to say if a suicide note was found.
"We still have people we want to speak with so there is some information we're going to withhold," he said.
Like Williams' family members, fellow actors and comedians were devastated by the news.
"I never could have expected this ending to his life and to ours with him," said Chevy Chase who noted that he, too, suffers from depression.
But, Chase added, "I cannot believe this. I am overwhelmed with grief."
The circumstances of the death do not help explain what motivated Williams, suicide experts said. Understanding that would require a detailed "psychological autopsy" that includes the review of medical and other records, and interviews with family and friends.
These experts stressed that suicide rarely is triggered by a single factor, such as depression or substance abuse. Typically there are at least two such influences, often compounded by acute stress, such as from financial hardship or troubled personal relationships.
"We know from decades of research that there are numerous factors that contribute to suicide risk," said Michelle Cornette, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology.
Word that the actor had killed himself also left neighbours stunned and grief-stricken in the quiet, waterfront neighbourhood of Tiburon, where Williams was a popular figure.
"I'm shocked. I loved him. I loved his sense of humour. I loved the spontaneity of his life," neighbour Johanna Dunning said of Williams, who was often seen riding his bicycle through the neighbourhood or stopping to joke with kids.
Makeshift memorials of flowers and notes popped up around the country including on his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at his home and outside the house in Boulder, Colorado, where the sitcom "Mork & Mindy" was set.
People also gathered to remember Williams at a bench in Boston's Public Garden where he filmed a scene for "Good Will Hunting," the film that won him an Academy Award.
Ben Affleck, a co-star and co-writer on that movie, was among the legions of friends and fans who shared tributes online.
"Robin had a ton of love & did so much for so many. He made Matt & my dreams come true," Affleck said of himself and fellow co-star and co-writer Matt Damon.
"What do you owe a guy who does that?" Affleck asked on Twitter. "Everything."
Williams' family asked that his fans remember him as the kind-hearted man that he was.
"Yesterday, I lost my father and a best friend and the world got a little greyer," his son Zak Williams said in a statement. "I will carry his heart with me every day. I would ask those that loved him to remember him by being as gentle, kind, and generous as he would be. Seek to bring joy to the world as he sought."

Feeding tomatoes
I am new to growing a moderate sized garden of tomatoes that I started from seed. In MA, we have gotten a lot of water so I have not been watering them and they seem to finally be happy! But I have not added any fertilzing product for them. They have been in the ground a month.
What should I look for in a fertilizer/feeding product? And how often should I be doing this?
My tomatoes have flowers and one is starting a tomato.
Lots of 'fertilizer' discussions here you can browse through for many opinions.
What to use is really your choice as long as it is well balanced without excessive nitrogen and provides micro-nutrients as well as N-P-K. There are many good products available both synthetic and organic.
How much of it to use, how soon, and how often all depends your soil condition and nutrient levels. If the bed was well prepped and amended before planting, drains well, has good tilth with a good level of organic matter included then the need for supplements may be minimal.
If not then regular supplemental feedings will be required. A very general guideline is after first fruitset and then approx. every 6 weeks throughout the season. But that can easily be too little or way too much depending on your soil.
Bottom line, just as with watering there is no "one size fits all" approach to feeding tomatoes.
My garden soil is a nice loam which has been improved by compost layering. I add compost and Plant Tone (or Garden Tone or Rose Tone) at planting time. I add more Plant Tone about every 6 weeks during the season. My plants are large and have set many fruits.
I think most experienced gardeners will encourage you to focus on improving your soil over time vs. the quick fix provided by a bucket full of Miracle Grow.
sunshine9 i'm in the same boat.I'm getting a soil test kit.From what I read,tomatoes don't like much Nitrogen,first # youll see on NPK fertilizer products.
I'm thinking about buying some sufate of potash(0-0-51) or K-Mag (Langbeinite)-(0-0-22) & fish bone meal(4-22-0).Not saying hey you should get this too,just saying i might try it out.
Never ordered from this site but looks like they have a good amount of options & prices don't look bad.I'm sure the S&H will be high though if you buy enough.

Tuxedo was at risk of incurring fines from card companies.
U.K.-based Tuxedo Money Solutions Ltd., which operates prepaid card programs for such retailers as supermarket chain Tesco Plc and mobile phone retailer Phones4u, was having a serious issue with fraudulent transactions.
One of Tuxedo's most popular offerings enables consumers to add value to their prepaid cards online via a credit or debit card without having to link to a bank account. However, the site soon became a target for criminals who would use stolen payment cards to add value to prepaid cards, the company says. Criminals have long been attracted to the anonymity of prepaid cards and often use them in money laundering schemes.
Crime on the site escalated so much that Tuxedo briefly stopped allowing consumers to add value to their cards online. While Tuxedo won't say what its fraud rate was, the company says it was at risk of incurring fines from card companies and was added to a merchant watch list because of its high rate of chargebacks.
Seeking to restore the service, which prepaid card users used often and which Tuxedo's clients liked to offer their customers, Tuxedo turned to fraud prevention and payment services vendor ReD Worldwide for help. Tuxedo implemented ReD's ReD Shield product that quickly screens for fraud by looking at several attributes of a transaction and approving or denying it in a few seconds.
The service draws on a multimerchant database of both legitimate cards that have been used for successful purchases and stolen cards that, for example, have been tied to chargebacks. It also uses databases of lost or stolen payment cards, IP geo-location and device IDs to recognize suspicious transactions. For example, a shopper using a computer located in Transylvania and attempting to pay using a card with a billing address in the U.K., might be flagged.
The service also enables clients such as Tuxedo to review transactions and see why they were accepted or denied and manage or change fraud-screening rules and cross-check names, addresses and phone numbers registered with payment cards with the information the consumer enters.
After working with ReD to implement fraud screening, Tuxedo was able to reinstate its online payment services. Tuxedo, which before was on the verge of incurring fines by card companies, is no longer on the watch list, the company says.
Fraudulent transactions now represent less than 1% of its sales and the web is now one of the most popular ways for prepaid card users add value, with consumers adding $1.5 million per month to their prepaid cards via Tuxedo's site, the prepaid card provider says.
ReD charges a service set-up fee and a cents-per-transaction fee based on volume with a monthly minimum. Fees vary based on the program a merchant implements, ReD says.
Tesco is No. 3 in the Internet Retailer Top 400 Europe.

It just shows the ignorance of the politicians and liberals! Chicago is a breading ground for them!
The buy backs only clean up the $50 guns or those that are junk. Or a criminal wants to get rid of a homicide or weapon used in a crime with no questions asked. Now how stupid is that! It is almost criminal in itself. Allowing the investigative trail and evidence to be destroyed. If they think for one minute that a gang banger or criminal will turn in a good 1911 45 ACP, Sig, XD or other weapon that is worth a thousand dollars or good drugs on the street they are lunatics. But we already know that! And as mentioned they are also actually violating ATF Federal Law. Of course in this day in the USA and in the realm of present administration and their politics the law only applies to us!
Great example of that, was this week with Obama giving Holder Executive Privilege! WOW! I hope they go after all of them in the end and someone is sentenced for the heinous crimes! Including the death of Officer Terry and others!
But it is alright for them to violate the law and not cooperate with an investigation. And to bend the law and the Constitution to meet their needs!
The Constitution is not an instrument for the Government to restrain the people. It is an instrument for the people to restrain the Government!
*Patrick Henry
Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
-- John F. Kennedy
Hit me up.
What good would it do to run expensive test on these firearms? These arms are bought no questions ask or ID. So why would you spend the $750 doing DNA test on junk? This is a political message designed by Liberals. You know the same people who breaking the Nation.
A DNA test costs 3 dollars....
Wow! That was way too easy! In and out in about ten minutes minus getting harassed by the homeless and drug dealers outside. I'll be saving up some more junk for CPD next year! Thanks for my new gun guys!!!
Ended up with just four. But I only had a week & a half to find them. Paid out less than 90 for them. All legit sales.
My sister came with and is very anti-gun liberal and she laughed at how much of a joke it was. She actually said shed consider getting her FOID card just to make a few bux once a year! Nice job Chicago.
I asked the cop checking things in if they got anything good and he said they had one lady turn in 2 Viet era ARs and everything else was junk.

Shannon Sharpe On Radio Row With Felger & Mazz: Patriots Need To Go Get A Tight End
BOSTON (CBS) – Call the National Guard, because Rob Gronkowski's injuries are killing the Patriots. So much so that three-time Super Bowl champion and current CBS Sports analyst Shannon Sharpe thinks the team needs to bring in another one.
Gresh With Bob Socci: Patriots Need Another Tight End For Gronkowski Insurance
New England has come up short in recent years, partly because of their inability to rely on a healthy Gronkowski in the home stretch of the season, and given Tom Brady's age they can't afford to wait much longer.
"What the Patriots really need to do is go out and get a tight end because Rob Gronkowski's injuries are starting to mount. As you get older you don't get healthier, and you saw the three forearm surgeries, the back surgery, the ankle surgery and now he's having the knee surgery – so we don't know if he's ever going to be able to be that Rob Gronkowski a couple years ago when he had the 18 touchdowns."
However, Sharpe says that tight end is not the team's only area of need on offense.
Howe On Felger & Mazz: Gronk For Fitzgerald Swap?
"They need an outside threat. I don't know if you can win a Super Bowl throwing the ball in the middle of the field between the numbers. They have no outside threat. It's hard to win games like that. When Tom was really dynamic, winning MVP's, he had Randy Moss that can push the ball down the field."
"As great as Tom Brady is he needs weapons."
Although Sharpe gets a lot of flack from Patriots fans for his outward criticism of the team, he has the utmost respect for the organization – even if it doesn't come across that way.
Sharpe is all about the rings, which is why he would have loved to play in Foxboro.
Deion Sanders On Felger & Mazz: Belichick 'The Greatest Coach To Grace The Sidelines'
"Bill Belichick is definitely one of the top three coaches of all time when you look at what he's done in New England. New England fans always give me a hard time, I say, 'Look, you guys got great in 2001. Don't make it seem like you got tradition and history like the Packers or the Steelers – it's been 2001 moving forward.'"
"They are the gold standard. I would have loved to have played for the organization because you know coach Belichick is going to make sure he puts his team in the best position to win football games. That's all I want."
