Excellent escape
My husband and I rented this house for a mini honeymoon right after our wedding. We were looking for someplace quiet and relaxing and found exactly that! The owners were excellent and responsive to emails and the house is spotlessly clean! The kitchen had everything you may need and we enjoyed a lot of meals there. Unfortunately we had a rainy week and missed out on using the outdoor patio and grill as much as we would have liked, but the indoor fireplace was put to good use. We had deer pass through the backyard and had a clear night of stargazing and saw the most amazing meteor! The house is in a great location - secluded but with neighbors down the road, also close to many of the areas we were familiar with from weekend trips (and close to grocery shopping in Margaretville). We spent a day at the Emerson Spa, dinner at Peekamoose, explored Delhi (excellent lunch at Blue Bee Café), took a ride on the Arkville train, visited the Pakatakan Farmers market and headed over to the Windham area for horseback riding (Rough Riders Ranch). This was our first week long vacation in 10 years and I think we are both convinced to do it more often! We cannot wait to return, hopefully soon!
a lovely place
My husband and I rented this lovely farmhouse for a long awaited couple's getaway. We found the place absolutely charming. very original, though recently updated. the kitchen was fully stocked, even found spices and condiments there to use, if desired. the living room area was great, well lit, two confy couches and a great fireplace with two stacks of firewood by the door ready to use. The master bedroom was very big but cozy, and the bed was very confortable. A couple of warnings though...If you are not familiar with original farmhouses, they are old,and some things such as sufficient hot water, can be a challenge.This was the case here...but with this in mind , you can still take a nice shower or bath, just don't expect to linger under the running water, or it will turn cold. The clawfoot tub is awesome for bathiing, but makes showering a bit awkward. The towels were very clean though a bit worn, and mismatched. Also, there was an overheating issue with the downstairs area, but it may have been resolved. We just shut off the thermostat and opened windows for a few hours.The only other warning comment is that the stairs to go up have no banister,and the wooden steps are a little uneven, they threw us off a bit when we first used them, especially with bare feet. By the next day we were going up like pros though. May not be too suitable for small children . There was a nice stream running along the forn of the house, next to the road, and a very nice back yard with a fire pit. We were not able to use the front patio . The area in general, was in between seasons, and the rainy weather was no help, so not as pretty as i imagined it, but the people we met were super friendly, and we had some fine meals. Jason, from Pine Hollow lodging, was incredibly helpful and readily available by email to answer any questions or help us out with anything, even though he was out of the country at the time we stayed. Felt like we were renting form a good friend! would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, quaint , romantic getaway.

Our room had a strong mildew scent so the staff moved us to another room which also smelled bad. I was very displeased so the staff worked hard to find us a room that didn't smell bad so we could enjoy our stay. Once we found an acceptable room we were very pleased.

Latest trend in blouse designs – going outside the four corners of the saree
Many of the recent collections that I have seen, seem to have added a new textured element to the blouse design.
The halter part of the blouse and sometimes even the trim brings in an element that is not a part of the saree but is used to enhance and complement the colors.
I recently pointed out another blouse design which takes a similar approach. See here, here
I have a suspicion that this will catch on.

A Quilt By My Mom
I thought it'd be fun today to share a quilt my mom just finished up. This quilt is based on a pattern in the book Once Upon A Seasonby authors Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins of Piece O'Cake Designs. My mom reworked the pattern to eliminate the center circle and sewed buttons to the centers instead, using her Bernina to make quick work of sewing them on. She also added more blocks to make the quilt a rectangle.
Other inspiration for the quilt was from Timna Tarr's Quilt Catena as shown in Quilters Newsletter magazine, December/January 2013 issue. We saw her quilt displayed in the International Quilt Show in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 2013.
The backing is a variety of scrappy pieced prints. I spy some Sweetwater!
Isn't it lovely? Thanks for letting me share it mom!

What's better than starting one new project this week? Starting two! Yes, I'm *finally* jumping on the Swoon bandwagon. I've wanted to make one ever since I saw Angela's Good Folks Swoon quilt. I knew the blocks were big. But I don't think anything prepares you for the size until you actually make one.
I only get my yardstick out for 3 things:
1. Measuring those big Chicago snow storms.
2. Reaching toys the kids throw under our King sized bed.
3. Showing people how big a Swoon quilt block is. 24-1/2″!
I'm planning on mixing some prints from Avalon by Fig Tree & Co. with others from my stash. I actually haven't picked all my fabrics yet, so there still may be a bit more ordering. I am using Kona Snow for my background. I'm not going to stress too much over a timeline for this one, but can't wait to make more blocks and share my progress along the way.

Nightshade ~ A Finished Quilt
I'm back with my finished Halloween quilt! This turned out to be a fun quilt to put together and even though it's not October yet, I've already set it out in the family room.
I mentioned in my last post that I used my Prism pattern for this quilt. I did shrink the blocks down a bit…not sure why – ha! That's what happens when I finish a quilt a year after I start it. It probably has something to do with the limited amount of fabric I had (only fat quarters of the Nightshade prints and only fat 1/8ths of the Oakshott cottons). These blocks ended up 6″ finished. The quilt measures about 48″ x 54″.
I quilted with a meandering free motion design. I did a pretty wide spaced meandering, hoping it will wash up a bit less stiff than a tighter quilting pattern.
The backing is two of my favorite prints from the Nightshade line. The binding is the left over from one of the backing prints.
Overall I think this is a great quilt for Halloween without screaming "Orange and Black!"

A Halloween UFO and Quilt Along Update
This week I decided to pull out my Halloween quilt UFO. I had planned on getting this done before Fall….but what can I say? I'm motivated by a deadline. I started this one last October and was too late for Halloween, but not this year!
I paired Tula Pink's Nightshade line with Kona Snow and Oakshott Cotton from the Lipari colorway. You can read more about the Oakshotts here. I'm using my Prism quilt pattern. It's a really fun, quick paper pieced design. I can't wait to get it quilted and on my couch!
A bit of a Lighthouse Quilt Along update. I spoke with Windham Fabrics and they would like me to wait to share the finished quilt on my blog until after Quilt Market when it is displayed in their booth. So! That is at the end of October, so the quilt along will start a month later than I was thinking. Hopefully you all will still be excited about it then!

I am flying an C-Store "Heavy Escort Carrier" and can't use the Armitage class skin?

I am flying an C-Store "Heavy Escort Carrier" and can't use the Armitage class skin?
Good day.
I?ve purchased ?heavy escort carrier? in C-Store and have used it for a view weeks. I?ve chosen the ?Akira skin? on it. Now I tried to change the skin in the shipyard to ?Armitage class?. The Game tells me that I have to buy the ?heavy escort carrier? first in order to do that, even though I am already using it with my only character. If I click on buy nevertheless the game confirms that I already have it and I can?t buy it again.
My problem is now that the ?ok? button for the in game ?EC? purchase during the skin change never lightens up and I can?t make the modifications I want.
I value my Star trek Online Account very much and the character I?ve created in particular.
I?m even considering buying a lifetime subscription, because I?ve met a great community in the world Cryptic has created.
I would be very grateful if anyone could take a look at this matter and help me with my problem.
Thank you

Thank you to everyone who liked my Odessa cosplay! I'm really shy and it gave me the courage to enter the Suikoden Day 2014 cosplay competition :) I'm really grateful for your kind words.
I hope everyone had a great Suikoden Day and I have really enjoyed seeing all the activity in the tags!
Without me realizing it, Nanami Day has rolled around again (7 = "nana" and 3 = "mi" in Japanese, so it can be said "NanaMi" day). I don't know if a lot of people remember/ celebrate these fandom days; I only discovered them from pixiv myself. I'm not as active of a Suikoden fan as I used to be, I mostly just look around in the tag for fanart I haven't seen yet and the nostalgic happiness it gives me. But a few of the fandom days stick out to me and this is one of them; Nanami is one of my favourite characters so I think a little about her on this day every year.
Sometimes I have come across posts of people saying they disliked her for her "pretend death" in Suikoden 2. I know everyone's opinion is their own, and it doesn't bother me that people don't like her as much as I do. But I think to hate her for this reason is a little…strange I guess.
Firstly, if you don't meet the requirements for the best ending she really does DIE. She stands in front of her brother to protect him and she goes down. She is gone forever. If you are new to the games and don't know about getting all 108 SODS and having to have them by a certain point in the game, then the injury she receives kills her.
Second, if you have got everything done at the right point and she does survive, then yes, she pretended to die. But I never even once hated her her or had a bad feeling towards her for that. She says multiple times in the game that seeing this war play out between the two people she loves most is hurting her and that she just wants to run away with Riou. You can even do this; you can agree with her and leave. Nanami is a strong girl, she can hold her own in a fight and she does her best for those she cares about. But seeing Riou and Jowy fight and seeing people die because of it is tearing her apart. At the beginning of the game she has already been waiting for her two boys to come back from a war, then they get plunged into another. She may not be the main character, and she doesn't have the burden of a rune, but she is seriously affected by it: she is watching the only two people she considers family try to destroy each other. She feels she cannot keep going like that,and that to do so would badly affect her brother and therefore the people under his command.I always felt under the circumstances what Nanami did was understandable at least, to go back to Kyaro and wait patiently for if and when the day comes they can be together again. I think that even the fact that the game gives the option to run away with her suggests that the writers wanted the players to understand that, to step back from being Riou for just a moment and see it from her point of view. Nanami honestly thought that her continuing to stay with Riou would hurt both him and the cause of the army. Whether by her feelings of pain affecting her/ her brother, or her brother abandoning his men and his cause just to protect her, she felt she couldn't stay. Yes, faking her death is a bit extreme, I know. But of all the dumb decisions made by characters in the game for what they think "will be for the best", I don't think it tops the list.
Thirdly, she is just a kid when all of this happens. She is at best early to mid teens. I know for sure that not all of my decisions at the same age were great. And I know that if I was under similar circumstances I wouldn't be able to keep a calm head and make all the right calls. The main three characters of the game are all kids; and while their ages don't entirely excuse them from making bad choices, it is a factor to be considered.
Fourth, as far as bringing back a "dead" character goes they already used up the one time only hey look magic and something about gates story for Gremio. If they had done a similar thing in Suikoden 2, it would have been a cop out and I think as a player I would have been dissatisfied. In a story about war and loss and tragedy, I think they did a reasonable job of putting a story behind Nanami's survival. It didn't feel out of place or rushed to me; I know that there are people out there who think that the plot goes kind of loopy towards the end of the game, and maybe since it is my favourite JRPG ever I see it through rose coloured glasses, but I love the story as a whole. I have never ever been as moved by a game as I was by Suikoden 2.
It got kind of long, but that what I thought about on Nanami Day this year. Maybe if someone who doesn't like her much reads this and their view of her is changed a little, that's great. But if it doesn't, it's your opinion :) I won't try and force you to like her. To me, she is a badass girl who loves her family with all her heart and would give herself up to protect them. I love how she breaks herself out of jail, and how her terrible cooking is legendary. Being told she is bad at something doesn't stop her trying. She is awesome and amazingly and I will enjoy seeing the slew of new fanart that will appear on tegaki or pixiv for today.

I got so excited when I found out the new Tom Hiddleston movie was playing near my house in like half an hour that I forgot I had pizza in the oven and I burnt it.
I'm not so good at selfies; but here is one I took to show my hair style which I modelled off Clare from Claymore. I'd love to cosplay her someday; the series needs more love! Such awesome characters :)

I know there are people who are discouraged at the thought of making curries; a long list of unheard of ingredients and the kitchen/house smelling like an Indian restaurant. But on a positive note, I find curries are quite cheap to make and you can "curry" almost anything (pardon my questionable use of English). For instance, you can "curry" canned beans, legumes (case in point here), frozen peas, mushrooms, potatoes, meat and of course seafood.

[0001]The invention lies in the field of irrigation systems for plants, in particular of automated systems, as are defined in the method, the device and the arrangement in the patent claims.
[0002]The requirement for automatically operating installations for irrigating balcony plants or terrace plants is constantly increasing, since on the one hand the occupants are absent more often over longer periods of time, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find people who are willing to tend to the plants in the meanwhile. On the other hand, the balcony or the terrace is becoming more significant and being increasingly included into the sphere of the living environment. Moreover, the occupants themselves often do not have the time and also do not have the knowledge to tend to the plants in an optimal manner, and are conscious of the expensive potted plants dying due to becoming waterlogged, and also on account of dryness which is too harsh or too long.
[0003]Automatic operating irrigation systems for balcony plants and terrace plants have been on the market for some time, but have never really been able to assert themselves for several reasons.
[0004]Most of the known systems require a water connection, which is often not present, in particular on balconies. In many cases, an electrical connection is also required, which is likewise often not present.
[0005]An automatic system for irrigation in most cases is, moreover, based on a time switch, which may be programmed such that one waters during a settable time, at certain times. The influence of climatic conditions thereby is not taken into account, i.e. one waters on cold, overcast days or on rainy days, just as often and as much as on hot days.
[0006]Different ground humidity sensors have been developed, in order to achieve a certain adaptation to the current climatic conditions. Since these should be very inexpensive for mass applications, methods such as the tensiometer method for example, are applied, which however have their disadvantages, such as for example a porous measurement body which becomes blocked or calcifies very easily.
[0007]Most of the known irrigation systems use so-called drip irrigation, with which fine droplet nozzles are incorporated into a distribution hose, from which water drips for a predefined period of time. These fine droplet nozzles calcify very quickly, or even become blocked. This partly or completely reduces the water quantity, but in practice may not be recognized. Moreover, the distribution hoses must be laid on the surface, which is not very pleasant optically.
[0008]Terraces are mostly planted with different plants having different sizes and water requirements. Differentiated water dispensing is almost impossible, so that all plants are watered more or less to an equal extent. Plants, however, are living things which grow and require differing degrees of water and nutrients with time, or depending on the external conditions. The known systems are not in the position of adapting automatically to the slowly changing requirements of plants.
[0009]Amongst other things, for the reasons mentioned above, the so-called automatic irrigation systems have not yet found widespread use.
[0010]It is the object of the present invention to provide a method and a device for the automatic irrigation of plants, in particular of potted plants and tub plants, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above and wherein the method is able to be carried out in an inexpensive manner and the device is able to be manufactured in an inexpensive manner.
[0011]The object is achieved by the method and the device as is defined in the patent claims.
[0012]The irrigation of plants, in particular potted plants and tub plants, but also garden plants and lawns, is effected by way of an electronically operating control system. The humidity of a substrate, in particular earth, clay, sand, swelling clay or mixtures thereof, is measured at preferably regular time intervals with a humidity sensor. These readings are stored and are evaluated towards a humidity development by way of a suitable evaluation algorithm. A trend which is evaluated in such a manner, is used for the control and readjustment of a water quantity to be watered.
[0013]In one embodiment of the invention, the number of measurement cycles, which take place between two watering procedures, is used for the control of the water quantity. Thereby, the time duration between two humidity measurements and a water quantity to be watered per watering procedure, may be fixed beforehand. If a humidity measurement of a humidity sensor introduced in the plant substrate lies below a set humidity threshold, then the watering procedure is activated. Otherwise, a further humidity measurement is carried out after the completion of the set time duration. If, now, the water requirement of a plant increases over time, e.g. days, weeks or months, then the watering procedures are activated more and more often. This trend is accordingly ascertained, and the water quantity to be watered per watering procedure is increased, preferably in set steps.
[0014]If, for example, control electronics in the control unit ascertain that again one must rewater after a few measurement cycles, then the watering quantity is automatically increased by a certain amount. This is done, preferably, for so long, until the time intervals between two watering cycles come to lie within a set bandwidth. If the control unit on the other hand ascertains that a very long time passes between two watering procedures, then this means that too much water is present in the earth, and the watering quantity may be automatically reduced by a certain amount. This is effected, preferably, again until the time interval between watering procedures lies within a defined bandwidth. Such a time interval may, for example, be determined and/or fixed by way of the number of humidity measurements.
[0015]A control with humidity threshold values has the advantage that water is only reapplied when the plant really needs it. For this reason, with a suitable setting of the humidity threshold values, a partial drying up of the earth occurs again and again, which is advantageous for the growth of the plant, since the roots also need to be supplied with oxygen. The control may be designed such that one rewaters already after a slight drying up. One may thus keep the humidity practically constant with regard to time. This however tends to be disadvantageous for many plants.
[0016]The method according to the invention also has the advantage that the first setting of the water quantity to be watered per watering cycle needs only to be determined in a rough manner. The control automatically adjusts the watering quantity, such than an optimum of the ground humidity and its temporal course is achieved. Moreover, the closed-loop control electronics also recognize when the plants grow and when they require more water with time. This is automatically readjusted. The watering quantity is also adapted to the effective consumption, also with longer lasting hot or rainy phases.
[0017]Preferably, an inexpensively manufacturable, reliable sensor is used for the device according to the invention, for the measurement of the humidity in plant substrates. Preferably, one uses a sensor as is described for example in the patent application with the application number PCT/CH2005/000663.
[0018]This is an inexpensively manufacturable sensor which may measure the water content of earth substrates of all types and with a high sensitivity. This sensor, based on a thermal measuring principle, may be used in order to provide a device reliably with information on the current humidity status of a substrate. If cooling curves are measured and used for determining the humidity, then these may be set very sensitively to regions to be measured.
[0019]The device according to the invention is preferably miniaturized by way of integrating all parts which are essential for an automatic irrigation, in the device. A device according to the invention thus preferably contains a control unit, and an operating panel/display panel, a pump, an electricity supply, as well as a humidity sensor and connections to a water reservoir. The individual components are preferably fastened to one another in a removable manner, and as with the connections, are preferably being designed in a fluid-tight manner, or accommodated for example in a water-tight housing.
[0020]The irrigation device is preferably designed such that it may be integrated into existing plant pots and plant tubs, as well as inserted externally into the plant pots.
[0021]It is possible to carry out various settings and for these to be displayed, via an operating and display panel. These settings, for example, are different threshold values for cooling times with a humidity sensor with thermal measurement methods, i.e. one may set threshold values of the ground humidity, in order, depending on the plant type, to select optimal conditions for plants which tend to like a wet environment, for those which like normal humidity, and for those which tend to like a dry environment.
[0022]Moreover, as a rule, it is a big difference as to whether a plant is located outdoors or indoors. With indoor applications, the humidity usually changes significantly more slowly than in outdoor regions. The sunshine and also the drying effect of the wind cause a significantly higher water consumption outdoors. This means that longer time duration between two measurements may be provided for indoor applications. This effects a significant saving of energy, and in the case of the use of batteries, extends their operational life. It is also known to the man skilled in the art, that room plants should be watered, when possible, at greater time intervals for example of several days, so that the earth again and again dries out sufficiently to absorb oxygen, by which means the plant growth is positively influenced.
[0023]For this reason a mode "indoor" and "outdoor" may be present via the operating and display panel. With such modes, on the one hand, a time duration between two humidity measurements is defined, and on the other hand also preferably the parameters of a readjustment are suitably adapted by way of this. Thus e.g. for the outdoor region, a time duration between two measurements of 1 hour may be selected, and in the indoor region one of 6 hours, since here the humidity changes relatively slowly. Moreover, a minimal interval between two watering procedures typically in the region of 3-7 days is optimal in the indoor region, whilst a minimal interval between two watering procedures may indeed lie between 2 and 5 hours in the outdoor region.
[0024]In the borderline case, with indoor applications, it may occur that a watering quantity is increased again and again. This may be the case with small plant pots, in which relatively large plants with a large water consumption are planted. The situation in which a minimally set time interval between two watering cycles is not reached may occur, whereby the regulation control would supply more and more water. This, however, may not be able to be absorbed by the small quantity of earth which is available in small plant pots. Excess water would spill over, preferably back into its supply region. In the extreme case, it may occur that stored water is permanently pumped around. This should be avoided. This may now be effected by way of the control automatically switching from an indoor mode to an outdoor mode after a certain number of consecutive watering procedures. The minimal interval between two watering cycles may be reduced, for example, to a few hours by way of this, and an overshoot of the closed-loop control is prevented by way of this.
[0025]Further values which may be set at the operating and display panel are the water quantity per watering procedure which may vary according to the plant, and with tub plants preferably in water quantities of 50 ml to 100 liters, in steps of for example 50 ml to 1 l, for example 100 ml or 250 ml. Initial values, maximal values and minimal values of the number of measurement cycles which may be carried out until a watering procedure, or--as mentioned in the preceding section--a maximal number of water increases with consecutively occurring watering procedures, may also be set via the operating panel.
[0026]The control unit may comprise further functions. For example, a control mechanism may be provided, which ascertains whether a water supply takes place, e.g. whether a throughput sensor or a valve responds. If the water supply does not take place, i.e. a throughput sensor does not respond, then one must assume that either water is no longer present in the supply container, or, however, that the water supply conduit is blocked. When ascertaining a non-response of a throughout sensor, an alarm is activated. This may be effected optically, for example, by way of an indication on a display, a flashing light, or also acoustically, for example by way of a peeping noise. The setting and monitoring of a critical lower threshold value of a charged condition e.g. of a battery, may also be effected via the device.
[0027]Preferably, such an alarm is indicated or communicated to the user with all error functions of the device. One possibility lies in integrating a data output for activating a telephone modem, a GSM modem, into control electronics. With the activation of an alarm, a corresponding electronic or short message (e-mail or SMS) may be sent to a previously defined receiver.
[0028]The device may also be provided with a thermostat which is integrated into the closed-loop control unit. If for example, a plant is accommodated in a mini conservatory, as described in the application CH 527/05, then the control unit, together with a suitable heating/cooling, is in the position of regulating the temperature within the plant enclosure to a certain settable value.
[0029]Several of the devices according to the invention may be assembled into an arrangement/assembly. The individual devices are then connected amongst one another, preferably in a manner such that the status of all devices may be inquired and individual settings may be made, via one or a single operating panel. Such an arrangement is preferably circuited and controlled in a manner such that only a single device is subjected to a watering procedure. The design for an electricity supply of an individual device is also essentially sufficient for a central electricity supply by way of this.
[0030]The device may also comprise a light sensor, e.g. a photocell. Light which is present, as the case may be, also its intensity, may be included in the humidity combinations or trend computations. Preferably, a humidity measurement is carried out at regular time intervals. However, with a light sensor, it is also possible to shift the watering device into a day/night operation, or generally to provide it with further constraints, e.g. non-operating times. For example, pump noises and water noises may be undesirable during the night. On the other hand, an irrigation of a lawn may be undesirable at certain daily times, since persons may be located on or in the vicinity of the lawn.
[0031]Exemplary, preferred embodiments of the irrigation system according to the invention are described in detail by way of the subsequent figures. Thereby, there are shown in:
[0032]FIG. 1 a schematic representation of the device according to the invention, including the sensor;
[0033]FIG. 2 one possible design of the device according to the invention, without sensor or water supply;
[0034]FIG. 3 a schematic representation of an irrigation installation;
[0035]FIG. 4 irrigation device with a separate water supply container;
[0036]FIG. 5 an irrigation device integrated into a plant pot.
[0037]In FIG. 1, control electronics 1 are connected to an operating panel 3 by way of electrical connections 2. This panel contains a display 4 and operating elements 5, 5'. An electricity supply 6, for example in the form of a battery, a solar panel, possibly with a charging apparatus and an intermediate storage battery or a mains apparatus, is connected to the control electronics by way of a cable 7. The ground humidity sensor 8 is likewise connected to the control electronics with a further cable 9.
[0038]A submersible pump 10, provided with a return valve 16 which may be activated by the control electronics by way of a cable 11, is connected via a hose 12 to an electronic throughput sensor 13, a water throughput meter, which in turn transmits its signals to the control electronics 1 via a further connection 14. A hose 15, which leads away from the submersible pump and the device, permits the distribution of the water delivered by the submersible pump.
[0039]The control electronics may be provided with software which automatically carries out readjustments of the water quantity per watering procedure, on the basis of history values. Initially set values, thus, do not need to be very accurate, since the control system permits a readjustment with regard to the frequency and quantity of the water to be supplied to the plant.
[0040]Thus, all or certain of the following values are set with a newly installed irrigation device: humidity threshold, watering quantities, a minimal number of measurement cycles until one waters, a maximal number of measurement cycles until one waters.
[0041]If now, for example, a minimal value of four measurement cycles and a maximal value of 16 measurement cycles are set, then the water quantity per watering procedure is increased as soon as a lower humidity threshold value is reached or fallen short off, already after 1, 2 or 3 effected humidity measurements. If now a lower humidity threshold value is not reached also after 16 measurement cycles, this means that the substrate has too much moisture and the watering quantity is, preferably, automatically reduced.
[0042]It is also possible, for example, to use the absolute humidity details for a trend evaluation, thus, for example, the speed at which the humidity in the substrate between two or more measurement cycles changes. Upper humidity thresholds may also be set, and the attainment of this threshold, or the frequency of the attainment of the threshold over several measurement cycles, may be used for readjusting the water quantity.
[0043]Differently set, settable and measured details, e.g. also the current ground humidity, may be displayed on the display 4, for example in the form of a moving dial or in the form of numbers, so that a tender always has the possibility of controlling the condition within the plant pot.
[0044]One further possibility is the integration of various control functions and alarms, for example a water alarm and/or frost alarm. The initially mentioned humidity sensor, which is preferably used, measures the current temperature of the surroundings anyway. If this sinks below a critical value, then this may be displayed by a corresponding signal on the display and/or optically or acoustically in a different manner. The tender may carry out suitable measures for protecting the plant from temperatures which are too low.
[0045]FIG. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of the irrigation device, wherein the same reference numerals have been used for the same elements. The electricity supply, as well as the ground humidity sensor, are not represented. Apart from the already mentioned elements, one recognizes a housing 17 which is closed in a water-tight manner and which encloses all electronic components. The cables are preferably led to the outside to the electricity supply, the sensor and the submersible pump, through water-tight cable lead-throughs 18, 18'.
[0046]The dimensions of the operating panel typically lie in a range of a few centimeters, preferably 4 to 12 cm, for example 5-10 cm, e.g. 6 cm. The length of the hose connection and cable connection to the submersible pump may vary, and lies in a preferred range of 5 cm to 2 meters, for example between 5 cm and 1 meter, e.g. 15-25 cm. In order to obtain the most from the device--with regard to energy technology and irrigation technology--the length of the hoses should be adapted to the pump power of the pump and vice versa. Generally, the device is preferably designed in a compact manner and in a manner such that it may also be introduced into commercial plant pots in the household and balcony, e.g. balcony boxes.
[0047]The procedure of the control according to the invention may be described as follows in a preferred embodiment:
[0048]In certain selectable time intervals, preferably between 0.5-5 hours, e.g. every 1-3 hours, the humidity sensor 8 which operates as a humidity sensor with a thermal measurement method operated in a pulsed manner, is heated with a, preferably, precisely defined energy impulse by way of the activation electronics 1 for a brief time, i.e. a few seconds, e.g. 2-5 s, and the cooling curve is subsequently plotted. A cooling time is determined from this, and is compared to a settable threshold value. If the measured time lies below the threshold time, then no action is activated. If however it lies higher, then the pump is activated. This is activated until the throughput sensor 13 measures a settable value. Thereupon, the pump is switched off again. This procedure is repeated in the time intervals mentioned above. All procedures are preferably effected automatically and in an electronic manner.
[0049]If it then results that the water requirement of the plant changes, for example due to growth, more sunshine, etc., then the closed-loop control unit recognizes that one needs to water more often than a previously set frequency. The control unit, thus, automatically increases the water quantity per watering procedure. The frequency is, preferably, a number of implemented measurement cycles or also a time elapsed since a last watering procedure. A number of the increases of the water quantity with consecutive watering procedures is preferably limited to the top. If a maximal number of increases on account of the measured humidity again demands a water increase, then instead of a water increase, one preferably changes to a greater watering frequency (indoor/outdoor-mode). Then, by way of this, one may prevent quantities of water from being dispensed with a watering procedure which are larger than may be accommodated by a pot.
[0050]The individual steps are preferably all monitored and controlled by the control electronics. Of course, it is also possible for individual steps such as for example a rewatering or an increase/reduction in the water quantity to be displayed, but to be carried out by hand.
[0051]A further very useful supplementation of the scope of the function of a control unit lies in the possibility of coupling two or more irrigation units to one another, e.g. by way of a digital bus. This configuration is shown schematically in FIG. 3. The irrigation installations 30, 30' and 30'' are connected to one another by way of cables 31, 31'. The cable has a digital bus, but also an electricity supply which is connected to an electricity supply unit 32 by way of a further cable 33. A GSM modem 35 is connected by way of cable 34 at the end of the basically infinitely long chain of irrigation installations. Moreover, a central unit 36 for representing and the control of all connected installations is connected. This permits a control of a e.g. large, widely branched installation, by way of a favorably situated central unit. Moreover, only one individual operating and display unit is required on account of this.
[0052]Such a configuration e.g. permits the optimisation of the central electricity supply, since the simultaneous response of the pump of two or more installations may be controlled and prevented. The electricity supply may be designed purely with regard to the loading of a pump by way of this. A digital bus also permits the notification of the tender by way of a single GSM modem, since all information, in particular alarms, of all connected installations may be tapped at a single output.
[0053]The irrigation installation according to the invention is designed such that it may be integrated into existing plant pots as well also maybe applied externally by the plant pots.
[0054]FIG. 4 shows a configuration with which the miniaturized irrigation device 30 is integrated into a separate water supply container 40 and from there serves a plant pot 42 with earth 43 via a water distribution hose 46. This configuration is particularly suitable e.g. if one only periodically requires an automatic irrigation, e.g. during a longer absence. One advantage of this arrangement lies in the fact that the water supply container may be practically infinitely large, so that long absences may be bridged. Moreover, such a container is cheap and may be placed everywhere.
[0055]The disadvantage is that the cable 45 to the sensor 44 as well as the water hose 46 are visible, wherein this disadvantage is not so important with a temporary absence.
[0056]If a water storage container is arranged above pot level, then, as the case may be, one may make do without a pump. The control unit, thus, only controls an opening and closure of a valve for the supply of water.
[0057]The water distribution hose may also be divided into several branches, so that several plant pots--advantageously with a similar size and planting type--may be supplied with water.
[0058]Plant additions, such as fertilizers, may be directly added into the water supply container.
[0059]FIG. 5 shows a solution with which the irrigation installation is integrated completely into a plant pot. Thereby, a volume is separated by spacers 51, 51' and an intermediate plate 50, and this volume may be used as a water supply volume. The irrigation device may be inserted through a recess 54 in the intermediate plate 50 from above, so that the submersible pump may be submerged as deeply as possible into the supply water. A layer of a water-permeable non-woven 53 with a recess, prevents earth getting into the water from the top.
[0060]A tube 52 which is likewise inserted through a recess in the intermediate plate serves for filling the water supply. A floating body 55 with a scale 56 which serves as a filling level indicator may also be introduced into this tube.
[0061]If the arrangement is operated by way of batteries or rechargeable batteries, then these may likewise be accommodated in a water-tight tubular battery casing, in the plant pot, wherein the batteries in this case are exposed to the very uniform temperature of the surrounding earth, which increases the life duration of the batteries.
[0062]Of course the submersible pump may also be replaced by a pump which is located outside the water supply. Moreover, it is possible to replace the pump with a magnet valve controlled by control electronics, so that the water may be taken directly from the water mains.

The game was called off after snow and ice made travel unsafe in Atlanta. The Pistons were unable to make their flight to Atlanta on Tuesday night from Detroit.

I had w i n g s once, and they were s t r o n g. They could carry me above the clouds and into the headwinds, and they never faltered. Not even once. But they were stolen from me.
"I heard a voice. It was a whisper. I won't forget what it said. It said: 'You will live because of Glendower. Someone else on the ley line is dying when they should not, and so you will live when you should not.'"
Blue was very quiet. The air pressed on them.
"I told Helen. She said it was a hallucination." His voice was peculiar. Formal and certain. "It was not a hallucination."
This was the Gansey who had written the journal. The truth of it, the magic of it, possessed her.
She asked, "And that's enough to make you spend your life looking for Glendower?"
Gansey replied, "Once Arthur knew the grail existed, how could he not look for it?"
Blue said, "That's not really an answer."
He didn't look at her. He replied, voice terrible, "I need to, Blue."
Think about something Winston Churchill once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going."

Offshore Jurisdictions And Tax Evasion In Romania
AbstractTax is the price of civilization.Tax havens are the price of globalization. By using tax havens ,we demonstrate how to avoid payment of taxes through legal methods of tax evasion. The most important advantage gained by offshore companies is an attractive tax due - "low tax" or "no tax". There are other arguments in favor of offshore companies - confidentiality guaranteed for the final beneficiaries - owners, flexibility in the management, readiness with which such companies can be established. This will lead to increase social inequitable social as well as deeping economic-financial crisis.

Flooding can happen very quickly, and we want to make sure you know what to do if you get stuck in the middle of it.
Here are some tips to help keep your home and your family safe during a flood.
Before a flood
• Construct barriers (levees, beams, floodwalls) to stop floodwater from entering your home.
• Seal walls in basements with waterproofing compounds to avoid seepage.
• If a flood is likely in your area, listen to the radio or television for information.
• Know the difference between a flood watch and a flood warning. A watch means flooding is possible. A warning means flooding is already occurring or will occur soon.
• Pack a bag with important items in case you need to evacuate. Don't forget to include needed medications.
• If advised to evacuate your home, do so immediately.
• If there is any possibility of a flash flood, move immediately to higher ground.
• If possible, bring in outdoor furniture and move essential items to an upper floor.
• Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so. Disconnect electrical appliances.
During a flood
• If water rises in your home before you evacuate, go to the top floor, attic or roof.
• Listen to local TV news or a battery-operated radio for the latest storm information.
• Turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valve if advised to do so.
• If you've come in contact with floodwaters, wash your hands with soap and disinfected water.
If you have to leave your home, remember these tips:
• Do not attempt to walk across flowing streams or drive through flooded roadways.
• Do not drive through flooded areas. If you see a flooded-out road ahead, turn around. Find another route to your destination.
• If there is no other route, get to higher ground and wait for the waters to subside.
• Even if the water appears shallow enough to cross, don't try it. Water hides dips in the road. Flooding can scour away the entire road surface and a significant amount of ground beneath.
• If your car stalls, abandon it immediately and climb to higher ground.
After a Flood
• Stay away from damaged areas unless your assistance has been specifically requested by police, fire, or relief organization.
• Emergency workers will be assisting people in flooded areas. You can help them by staying off the roads and out of the way.
• Roads may still be closed because they have been damaged or are covered by water. Barricades have been placed for your protection. If you come upon a barricade or a flooded road, go another way.
• Be aware of areas where floodwaters have receded. Roads may have weakened and could collapse under the weight of a car.
• Stay out of any building if it is surrounded by floodwaters.
• Avoid floodwaters. Water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline or raw sewage.
• Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits and leaching systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewer systems are serious health hazards.
• Listen for news reports to learn whether the community's water supply is safe to drink
• Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. Mud left from floodwaters can contain sewage and chemicals.
Learn everything you need to know about floods and how you stay safe during one on FEMA's website.

The Siren's Call: Island in the city
The novels of Richard Zimler shine compelling light on overlooked aspects of history — and along the way they provide plenty of myth and lore to delight any student of esoterica. "The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon" (2000), for instance, describes the mystical practices of 16th century kabbalists as it explores the plight of Jews in Inquisition-era Spain. Other novels of his, including "Guardian of the Dawn" and "Hunting Midnight," explore storylines that are like intriguing variations on what one finds in "Kabbalist." An occasional contributor to our pages in the past, Zimler also keeps his own Jewish heritage firmly focused in his stories.
