Today's Frugal Tip: Start a GardenThis Post Contains Affiliate Links - Disclosure Policy
I know some of you out there have green thumbs.. not sure if I have one, but that said.. I have a garden anyway. We just picked out first (of many, I am sure) of zucchinis. I will be cooking it up tonight like spiced apples (cored, peeled and sliced zucchini with lemon, cinnamon, and sugar- saute until soft). The kids love them! Having a garden is a great way to get some organic produce on your table and some {Read More}
Today's Frugal Tip: Shop at Your Local Farm StandsThis Post Contains Affiliate Links - Disclosure Policy
I love finding organic and local produce for a steal. I have recently discovered that the local high school's FFA program sells fruits and veggies every week. FOR CHEAP. We are able to get the same heirloom tomatoes there that are selling for many dollars a pound for $.25 each (and they are big). You may not be so lucky as I am but I'll bet if you stop at some local farm stand you might pick up some bargains. {Read More}

Today 's frugal tip is to start considering the store brand- especially if the name brand is not on sale or you don't have a coupon. Why? Well, it could be cheaper and you may find you like it just as well or better. Make sure you don't assume that simply because it is a store brand that it is lower quality. Remember- you don't eat the label!! If you have a frugal tip email it to FFD. We would {Read More}

So I Think I am a Hoarder.. What Do You Think?This Post Contains Affiliate Links - Disclosure Policy
Last week we cleaned out our office.. it was pretty scary. I don't know what yours is like.. but ours is scary. We took almost everything out of the office and put it in the living room. We had 3 boxes to sort stuff in: throw away, keep and recycle. Most of it actually went in the garbage. I am amazed at how much I do get rid of on a daily basis but yet how much is left and {Read More}

Everything was beautiful the staff very accommodating. I cant even begin to tell you how amazing the view was. Everything was incredible.
Additional charges at the end of our stay. I booked a room asking for 2 double beds to sleep three. I was charged $100 euro extra a night for a roll away. Not happy about that at all. Also charged for transportation when I know I paid it cash at the end of my stay. $600 charged on my cc after my stay. Not happy!
Details were excellent. Wifi was not great--but who needs that in Capri?? Concierge service was excellent--took care of all our travel coordination and made excellent recommendations for dining and activities.
swimingpool, location, room, bathroom, view, breakfast incredible,
+ we upgraded to a room with a view which was spacious and airy (we didn't like the standard one we originally booked - it was pokey) + breakfast had fruit (yay) and they know how to make good poached eggs, good choice of single serve cereals too. + great staff, they helped us rebook our ferry tickets after our ferry got cancelled - twice! Very informative and attentive. + nice big bathroom with good size shower and spa bath
- no coffee/tea making facilities although you could have it delivered to your room as part of breakfast in the morning. - pool was good but located in the adjacent hotel, so it is a 3 minute walk up/down stairs, through a corridor and another walkway. Not too much of a hassle, just a bit weird. - Doors have no soundproofing, so a bit noisy when things are happening in the corridor. - A bit pricey for what you get, but its Capri. Anything with a view comes at a premium.
My sister has disabities, the staff at Casa Morgano upgraded her room to accommodate her, they aldo arranged transportation to and from Naples to make our travel easier. The staff was spectacular!! I will return to Capri again to stay at the Casa Morgano.
Additional charge for additional bed Shen I reserved a room for three , not happy about that.
Excellent staff and beautiful property. Cannot wait to come back!
The most helpful staff ever. Nice location on quiet street a couple of blocks from the noise and hubhub of Capri Centro. Beautiful rooms with beautiful views. Will definitely come again.
Excellent location close to all the shops and restraunts but in a quiet location away from all the crowds. Staff is extremely nice and helpful. Grounds are gorgeous.
The hotel is perfectly located---away from the center, but close enough. The staff are very accommodating, and friendly. Breakfast table is sufficient, and anything is on the menu--just ask. Staff were exceptional in booking restaurants, boat trips, etc. and recommending activities. The view from the room was nice... its been a great experience.
Not much to say here... Was a great experience. You want to stay in the Capri area, not anacapri, for shopping and upscale restaurants. So this is the place.
Amazing staff, good location, very friendly environment, nice food, great rooms
Small swimming pool
Room upgrade Staff Cleanliness
Breakfast a bit below average for a 5 star hotel Our room wasn't that much isolated in terms of sound but again it was very acceptable.
Helpful and attentive staff who all made us feel special. Views and pool areas were excellent as were the rooms. Flexible check-in and check-out hours were made available which we did not expect.
Having to leave!
Beautiful location and gardens. Lovely room and bathroom though a little tired. Nice gym and pool area with beautiful views. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Would have liked assistance from the ferry. We were left to stand in a long Que waiting for a taxi then got lost trying to find the hotel although we were told there would be someone to meet and assist us. The pool close to the hotel was out of order so we could not use it. The other pool was lovely but was a long walk through shabby walkways (didn't feel like a five star hotel). The interior of the hotel is looking very tired and the breakfast area in the morning was basically the reception area turned into a very, very poor buffet! The staff couldn't remember the orders ( though they were very friendly) and when the food arrived it was definitely not up to standard. There were no little touches which you normally get at this sort of priced, 5 star hotel. It needs a move into the new century.
Price is over
Casa Morgano is an incredible place to spend your time in Capri. You are looked after 24/7, they follow your moves to not disturb you in any moment even if you leave the room at midnight on your way back the room will be ready for the night. The location is perfect away from the crowd but not far from the centre. I have been in several other hotels in capri and this one have no competitors no matter how much you spend
Everything! Room, view, staff, quietness. The staff were So helpful!! Bent over backward to greet you coming and going and even printed out your itinerary for any help they offered! Recommend it highly!!
The willingness of the staff to help with just about anything, including the arrangements for the tickets for the tram down to the boat. We loved everything about the hotel and the staff. We will return!!!
Our visit wasn't long enough.
A sublime Oasis of charming staff and calm in limoncello shades a couple of minutes away from the shops and restaurants of Capri town.........Bliss!!!
niente ...
Very helpful,friendly staff.Room was large and plenty of amenities-bathrobe,slippers,lotions etc.Pool was excellent .Breakfast had many choices. Attention to detail was superb in all areas.Loved it.
The staff in particular couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.
To be really honest, nothing. A really lovely place.
Absolutely perfect, beautiful hotel and setting. Staff were brilliant, extremely helpful.
Casa Morgano is a 5 star experience all around. The property is amazing and the staff helpful, attentive and happy. This place is the perfect, secluded getaway, we never wanted to leave our room!
Quality of the room and the view. Friendly helpful staff.
Lack of evening meal facility. Cost of drinks in the bar.

November 28, 2014
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Federal investigators say a deadly explosion at a military flare plant in West Tennessee was an accident and not caused by a criminal act.
In a news release, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says Saturday's explosion at the Kilgore Flares plant in Toone occurred in a mixing room.
Officials say the explosion severely burned worker Michael Chism on more than 90 percent of his body. Chism was hospitalized and died on Monday.
Kilgore makes air and naval decoy flares for the military. Records show that six people have died in explosions or fires at the plant since 1993.
According to its website, Kilgore has a 264-acre plant and a 242-acre test site in Toone, about 60 miles east-northeast of Memphis. Kilgore is owned by Chemring Group PLC.

Demi Moore "Sick" Over Rihanna-Ashton Kutcher Sex Rumors; Singer Insists She's "Single"by Free Britney at . Comments
Rumors of Ashton Kutcher and Rihanna hooking up apparently didn't sit well with ex-wife Demi Moore, who was "sick to her stomach" and "devastated."
Grazia magazine quotes a source as saying, "Demi is constantly keeping tabs on Ashton. When these pics came up she was understandably crushed."
"Demi's convinced something happened between them and felt sick.'"
The publication also cites a source saying that the alleged relationship between Rih and Ash - which was a one-night stand, if that - "sent Demi spiraling."
This comes just weeks after Moore checked out of rehab, though.
Another source tells Closer magazine, which not only exists, but features Octomom nude on its new cover: "Demi can't believe Ashton would do this."
"She's really hurt by the recent rumors and feels humiliated he's being linked to other celebrities just a few weeks after she got out of rehab."
"She feels it cheapens their marriage even further."Moore and Kutcher ended their marriage in November 2011 amidst rumors of repeated infidelity on the part of the Two and a Half Men star.
Meanwhile, at a press conference in London for her new movie Battleship, Rihanna was asked by a ballsy reporter if Kutcher would be visiting her.
"Wow, how disappointing was that question," the 24-year-old singer said. "I'm happy and I'm single, if that's what you're really asking."
Which clears up nothing, as you can be single and have one-night stands all the time ... but she was disappointed by the question, so there's that.
It's also worth noting that Rihanna's security team and her car were seen at Ashton's place, late night. There were no photos of the two together.
We can understand Demi being a little thrown off by the one-night stand rumors, but you can't believe every piece of celebrity gossip you read.
I am not a fan of Demi and i seriously think she needs to concentrate on getting healthy and moving forward and stop worrying what the sleaze is doing. Hes gonna crash and burn. She will be ok.
you cant always beleive everything
Kutcher is an imbecile and Rihanna is uglier than sh!t.Any white chick out there should be more than happy that this moron (Ashton)is not part of your dating pool.Also,Demi deserves WAY better anyway-she's a gorgeous gal.Plenty of dudes would LOVE to have her.
no photos . no proof. So you can shut up

Details on Industry Insight.
Auckland, New Zealand – Sitka is excited to announce they will be opening a flagship store in New Zealand on January 15 of 2011. The 1,500 square foot store will be located at 6 Osborne St. in Newmarket in Auckland.
The store will be the third flagship opened by Sitka and will be managed by New Zealand local, Andrew Howson. Sitka has already attracted people from the area to join the Sitka family and have worked out sponsorship agreements with the band Tahuna Breaks and surfers, Blake Meyers and Nicola Colson-Kolster.
The interior of the new retail location will be furnished with vintage furniture, don a living green wall and host a coffee bar. In traditional Sitka-style, the store fixtures will primarily be made of refurbished wood and will display the full Sitka clothing, surfboard and skateboard collection. The store concept was designed by owners, Rene Gauthier and Andrew Paine, and manager, Howson.
Sitka will host a soft opening party this Saturday after their first day open for business. They invite everyone down to check out the shop and enjoy some refreshments from 5 pm on.
More information on the grand opening will be made available closer to the opening.

Has anyone tried this brew from Abita Brewery in Louisiana? Old World Market had an ad for it in last Sunday's paper. My tongue was hanging out all week thinking of this beer. When I stopped to buy it, the girls at the store said "Sorry, it's not available in Washington state." They had no idea why. What a big disappointment. I am still wondering what it tastes like if anyone else has tried it. I went to their website and it sounds delicious.
Sorry, several posts came up after I posted this. My question was answered and then some. Thanks

Stuffed Cabbage -- How Do You Season Yours?
- CindyJ Oct 7, 2008 02:06 PM
I'm making stuffed cabbage and want to braise it in a sweet & sour liquid. I've made it in the past using tomato sauce, sugar and lemon juice, but I haven't been thrilled with it. I've heard of using sour salt instead of lemon juice, but I have no idea how to use sour salt in a recipe. I'm looking for a recipe with an eastern European flavor, kind of like my Bubbie might have made. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, for how long should it braise in the oven? Thanks!
My Nana made the best stuffed cabbage ever. She used vinegar, and believe it or not, crushed up ginger snap cookies. I wondered if anyone else had heard of this, so I Googled and guess what..it is not that odd after all!
"Sour salt", which is not actually a salt at all, it's citric acid. You'll find it listed as an ingredient in a lot of commercial products where a hint of acidity (sourness) is desired. I season my stuffed cabbage rolls primarily by seasoning the meat. The only seasoning I use for the remainder of the items in the recipe include tomatoes, tomato sauce, a little white vinegar, a VERY SMALL amount of sugar, and coarsely chopped onions that I lay on top of the cabbage rolls as they steam.
I use diced onion and parsley in the meat mixture along with sea salt and a small can of tomato sauce.
My grandmother simmered them in sauerkraut with diced tomatoes mixed in. They are heavenly.
I've also had them with a paprika sauce over them. It was wonderful, but I don't have a recipe unfortunately.
The sweet and sour taste that I like is either with white vinegar and brown sugar, or white vinegar and ginger snaps. The latter I prefer with sauerbraten. The former I think would be nice with stuffed cabbage.
Lots of sauerkraut and some good fresh Hungarian paprika and sometimes garlic slivers in the tomato sauce and season the meat/rice mixture with finely chopped onion, salt, pepper and paprika. I bring it to a simmer on the stovetop and then braise in a 375 oven for at least 45 minutes then check the internal temp of the rolls with a meat thermometer -- you want to get it to about 150 or higher. Always better the second night, reheated.
Here are some links to previous highly informative stuffed cabbage threads:
re: GretchenS
Thanks so much for your ideas and for the helpful links. I'm inclined to try something new (to me) that I saw on one of the links. I'm going to combine tomato sauce and whole canned cranberry sauce for the sweet/sour flavor. I'll let you know how it turns out.
re: Kelli2006
Lemon juice and honey with added raisin added in the last half hour.
This is the best I've ever had:
My 30+ year quest to replicate my grandmothers came to an end upon finding this recipe!
It freezes well too.
re: meatn3
meatn3 i made this about 2 months ago and i thought it was strange leaving the skin on the lemon and orange. I didn't love it.... I was looking for something more traditional less frou frou
Ironically, I just found the recipe I'd been seeking. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/20... Oh well, I'll tuck it away until the next time I'm in the mood to make stuffed cabbage.
I'm not sure if this qualifies as "sweet and sour," but I just made this on Sunday and it was delish. This is my late Polish babic's (grandma's) authentic recipe, which I guess over the years she had converted to use "convenience foods."
I start with a basic cabbage roll filling -- meat, rice, salt, lots of pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
For the sauce: 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of water, 2 8oz cans plain tomato sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup. The ketchup adds a little sweet tang. After reading this thread, I considered adding some vinegar or lemon juice, but I was concerned that it wouldn't combine so well with the cream soup.
I've made stuffed cabbage many times and have always been satisfied with the results. Last weekend, I used for the first time the recipe for "Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Sweet and Sour Tomato Sauce" from the Cook's Illustrated cookbook "The Best International Recipes" and it was, by far, the best ever. For the sauce, I used a 28 oz. can of 6 in 1 crushed tomatoes and a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of water, 3 Tbsp. of light brown sugar, and 2 Tbsp. of cider vinegar.
Polish stuffed cabbage is usually sweeter than Hungarian. My recipe is for Hungarian with a teensy bit of brown sugar, probably a violation to true Hungarians. The secret ingredient is to use sauerkraut juice and blend with some brown sugar. I also add sliced carrots to the dish, adding some natural sweeting. Remember stuffed cabbage is best made in advance and "rested" in the fridge for 1-2 days to allow flavors to meld. Here it is:
Large heal green cabbage with core removed
2 lb. ground chuck
1 T garlic powder
14-16 oz. can sauerkraut, juice drained into mixing bowl
3/4 cup rice, washed and drained
12 oz. baby carrots or sliced carrots
2 28 oz. cans chopped tomatoes, I like RedPack brand
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
Bring very large 12+ quart stockpot to boil with about 9 quarts water. When boiling, add 1 T salt. Immerse whole cabbage (without core) in pot. Let simmer 5-10 min, until you can remove whole leaves with sharp knife at base. You may have to re-immerse cabbage several times to get this done. Typically, you harvest 12-14 leaves. Finely chop the remainder of the cabbage and reserve in large bowl. The next step is optional, but makes the dish taste better - using sharp paring knife, remove some of the woody vein along coked leaf, leaving it all attached, but trim judiciously. The goal is to make the leaf even thickness, cuts down on cooking time and tastes better. Let leaves dry in colander while you make filling.
Mix ground beef with s&p, eggs, washed rice, garlic powder in large bowl. Reserve filling.
Preheat oven to 350. Liberally grease very large roasting pan (like for turkey, preferably 11X17. To reserved chopped leftover cabbage, add drained sauerkraut. Optional is you can wash kraut for milder flavor. Mix in chopped onions and carrots. Spread half this mixture in bottom of roasting pan.
Mix tomatoes, s&p, brown sugar and reserved sauerkraut juice. Taste and adjust seasoning, you may want to make it more sour - add lemon juice, or more sweet - more brown suage. Pour 1/3 of this mixture over cabbage in roasting pan.
Fill each prepared cabbage leaf with small amount of ground beef mixture. Close as for envelope, making sure rolls are tight. DO NOT overstuff, rolls will explode. Line up rolls on top of prepared cabbage/tomato mixture. Add remaining cabbage/onion/carrot mixture and top with remaining tomato sauce. Cover roasting pan very tightly with heavy duty foil and bake at 350 for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. To save on cleanup, place roasting pan on large sheet pan.
After cooking time is up, check cabbage rolls to see if they are fully cooked. They may need some more time. Hint: if you are freezing them, cook about 3/4 way done, cool, then freeze.
re: Diane in Bexley
My Hungarian grandmother never used tomato and always used ground pork, mixed with salt, pepper, onion, and half-cooked short grain rice. We simmered the rolls with rinsed sauerkraut and water (and a piece of smoked meat added for flavor--smoked ribs are good!), adding paprika and a bit of flour to thicken right at the end. The rolls were always served with lots of sour cream.
re: foodslut
FS, your Hungarian grandmother was not Jewish, I am sure. Jews don't eat pork, or dairy with meat (sour cream). Trust me, this is traditional Jewish Hungarian stuffed cabbage, should have clarified that.
You could use a sour cabbage rather than a fresh cabbage. That is what some people I know use. I made that Holishkes recipe that someone else mentioned, with the lemon and orange peel. It was terrible! I scraped off the sauce and added plain tomato sauce and then it was edible.
I used to LOVE my mom's huloupki (sic). Her background was Russian. I could never figure out what she used for her "sauce". Turns out she made it with cans of Campbell's tomato soup and vinegar!

To overcome their size deficiencies, East Union and Manteca High's girls basketball teams worked on picking up the pace over their non-league schedules.
Modesto Christian and Turlock Christian aren't sporting winning records, but don't be fooled.
Ripon Christian's exodus from the Trans Valley League came at a good time, but that doesn't mean the Knights will have it easy in the Southern League where traditional power Mariposa and the Sac-Joaquin Section's leading scorer, Turlock Christian's Brandon Rogers, await.
Milestones were reached.
TRACY - A valuable lesson was learned by Manteca High's girls basketball team Thursday in the championship round of the Tom Hawkins/Tracy Breakfast Lions Tournament at Tracy High.
East Union's girls basketball team is ready for the Valley Oak League season to come.
The Sierra High girls varsity basketball squad closed out non-league play Thursday with a 38-26 win over visiting Ceres.
If offense wins games, Sierra High proved Thursday afternoon that defense can win championships.
Despite getting off to a sluggish start, Ripon High erupted Thursday morning to handily down Ribet Academy of Los Angeles 62-44 in the 13th place game of the Modesto Christian Holiday Hoops Classic.
Ripon showed its moxie Thursday morning by dealing Sierra of Fresno a 39-35 loss in a hard-fought and aggressive matchup for 11th place in the sapphire bracket of the West Coast Jamboree at Brentwood's Heritage High.
LATHROP – The Spartans closed out the preseason Wednesday with a 68-44 loss to visiting Chavez High.
BRENTWOOD - George Contente looked skyward with fingers crossed behind his neck - body language for "Go figure."
TRACY - Bad news first: Lathrop High's girls basketball team dropped its seventh straight game Wednesday, losing 41-30 to Patterson in Day 3 of the Tom Hawkins/Tracy Breakfast Lions Tournament at West High.
The Timberwolves will play Enochs today for the championship of the Robert Dominik Fuchs Memorial Holiday Classic.
The Vos brothers surely left their mark in Ripon Christian's 57-47 boys basketball victory over Patterson Wednesday in the Oakdale Tournament.
East Union plans to throw it back to the 1970s, when losses were hard to come by and names like Herrera and Taylor were still at the forefront of the football program.
Manteca held its own against Central Catholic and nearly forced a fifth set in a 25-19, 13-25, 21-25, 24-26 Valley Oak League loss Tuesday in Modesto.
Ripon Christian secured the outright claim to the Southern League championship with Tuesday's 2-0 victory at Denair.
Vista del Lago and Christian Brothers players took turns taking pictures with their prizes on the 18th green at Manteca Park Golf Course.
Ripon had two golfers finish in the top 10 in Monday's Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Tournament held at Micke Grove Golf Links, but both played their final round of the season.
It all comes down to Wednesday's winner-take-all Valley Oak League finale between cross-town foes Manteca and East Union.
Sealy McAdams and Elizabeth Tolbert's last two matches in Thursday's Valley Oak League Doubles Tournament held at East Union had entirely different endings.
Alyssa Burch hosted another block party at Manteca High's Winter Gym on Thursday.
Orestimba scored the first and final goals, but Ripon Christian did more than enough damage in between to leave Newman with a 5-2 victory and at least a share of the Southern League championship.
Injury-hampered Ripon gave up two second-half goals by Ulises Ramirez on set pieces and are now in danger of not repeating as league champions no thanks to Thursday's 2-0 loss at Escalon.
Gerardo Romero scored two goals and assisted another in East Union's 4-1 triumph at Sierra on Wednesday.
Weston Ranch's coronation looked as if it was going to be delayed.
Manteca had two game-point opportunities in an attempt to force a fifth set against visiting Weston Ranch but came up short in a 20-25, 25-27, 25-16, 30-32 defeat Wednesday.
East Union won the Valley Oak League title and Brooke Riley is the MVP.
Tuesday's Trans-Valley League rematch against Ripon was sure to have been circled on Riverbank's calendar.

Hong Kong's banks are lagging their European counterparts in preparing for Basel II with most still at the early stages of project planning, according to a report by consultants KPMG.Only half of Hong Kong's banks have started Basel-related projects for both credit and operational risk, compared with 71% of European institutions and 69% of institutions worldwide, the survey said. Moreover, a quarter of Hong Kong respondents are still in the process of establishing teams to address the new credit risk requirements outlined in Basel II. This compares with just 14% of European institutions.
None of the Special Administrative Region banks surveyed have moved beyond the planning and assessment stages for credit or operational risk. European banks, however, have progressed significantly further, with 19% of institutions designing systems and 9% either implementing or testing credit risk models. Meanwhile, 8% of European banks are designing operational risk processes and systems, with a further 8% either implementing or validating models.
"Implementation [of Basel II] is due in 2006, but work needs to start long before then to achieve implementation on time," said Martin Wardle, financial sector partner for Basel at KPMG, based in Hong Kong. "Banks seem to have taken on board the benefits of adopting an advanced risk management approach. Those organisations that haven't started yet will need to work very quickly if they are to meet the deadline and have any chance of reducing their capital requirement."

For those of you following the phases of the moon and signs of the zodiac as they apply to planting and other activities, here's November's information.
The moon
November began and ends with the moon in the light phase. The light moon rules until the full (or dark) moon comes to rule at 5:23 p.m. Nov. 6.
The full or dark moon then rules until the new — or light — moon returns at 7:32 a.m. Nov. 22. During this period plant only those veggies that produce below the ground — except when Aries or Leo is in force; those dates are below.
Light moon: Plant above ground producers through Nov. 5, then most of Nov. 22 until the full moon 7:27 a.m. Dec 6.
Dark moon: Plant below ground producers Nov. 7 and through Nov. 21.
Check "General Tips" for dark- and light-moon activities.
The signs
Remember: Check to see if the moon is in the light or dark phase (information above) before proceeding with planting, or other activities, indoors or out.
Fertile signs: The most fertile signs in the zodiac rule these days: Pisces (the feet), 29-30; Taurus (the neck), Nov. 6-7; Cancer (the breast), Nov. 10-12; and Scorpio (the secrets), Nov. 20-22. There are 10 days this month ruled by the fertile signs —Pisces, Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio.
Killing signs: No planting, transplanting, or dealing with things you want to thrive should occur on these days. Reserve them for cultivating, cleaning out fencerows — anything but planting: Aries (the head), Nov. 4-5 and Leo (the heart), Nov. 13-14. There are four killing days ruled by either Aries or Leo — the blessed absolute minimum.
So-so days: These aren't particularly fertile nor destructive, just so-so: Sagittarius (the thighs), Nov. 23-24; Capricorn (the knees), Nov. 25-26; and Aquarius (the legs), Nov. 27-28. There are six days ruled by the three so-so signs remaining this month since Nov. 1 was an Aquarius day.
Flowering days: These are "bloom days" and well suited for planting your fall flowers — and you don't need to worry about frosts or freezes since you're not eating them and when the last freeze hits they're done anyway. Virgo (the bowels) will rule Nov. 15-17; and Libra (the reins) is up for Nov. 18-19. There are five flowering days this month.
Gemini days: Gemini rules the arms and is in force Nov. 8-9. These are bean days but we are past the time to safely plant beans.
General tips
Again, here are a few general tips for activities other than planting:
>If you have gravel to pour on a drive or roadway, do that in the light of the moon. Same applies for stones on a garden path: Place them when the moon is in the light phase so they don't sink.
>If you're setting fence posts, do that in the light of the moon so the posts don't sink.
>If you're putting on a new shingle roof, do that when the moon's in the dark phase so that the shingles stick down and don't curl up on the ends.
>If you have changes to make like stopping smoking, starting a diet or exercise program, weaning small animals or children, scheduling elective surgery — anything that requires a change — here's the formula: The moon in the dark phase and the signs are going out of the body, past anything that "functions" so that means thighs, knees, legs and feet — Sagittarius through Pisces.
There are no days in November that perfectly fit the formula.
In my opinion, the alternative to "perfect days" are days when the signs are going out of the body past anything that functions, even if the moon is in the light phase. In November that would be Nov. 2-3, 23-30.
There are a few less than October, 11 as compared to 15, but still plenty of second-choice days: signs going out of the body past anything that functions with the light moon in force.

Rapid refugee resettlement a must for Sri Lanka - U.N.
COLOMBO (Reuters) - The United Nations on Tuesday said a violent incident in Sri Lanka's refugee camps underscored the urgency in stepping up the "very slow" pace of resettlement of thousands of Tamils displaced at the end a 25-year war.
Walter Kaelin, the U.N. Secretary-General's representative for refugee rights, finished a three-day visit to the Indian Ocean island last week, where he toured camps where more than 260,000 people are being held.
After he left on Saturday, at least two refugees were wounded when soldiers fired on a group the military said was trying to escape a camp on Saturday.
"The use of firearms to control a group of internally displaced persons trying to move from one camp zone to another that resulted in injuries to two persons raises serious human rights issues," Kaelin said in a statement on Tuesday.
Kaelin said the incident "underscores how interning people in large and overcrowded camps not built for prolonged stays is in itself a factor detrimental to security."
Sri Lanka is under heavy pressure from the West to resettle the more than 260,000 people being held in camps since the end of a war with the Tamil Tiger separatists in May.
Of particular worry, Kaelin said, was impending monsoon rains which will likely flood the present camps not built for long-term stays.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon has pressed for urgent resettlement, and has himself been criticised for not taking a tougher line with the Sri Lankan government.
Sri Lanka says it first must weed out potentially thousands of Tamil Tigers hiding among the refugees, and demine the former war zone.
"I remain particularly concerned about the slow pace of identifying those in the camps who do not pose a threat to security and the lack of transparent criteria in this regard," Kaelin said.
Kaelin said he was impressed by Sri Lanka's "massive demining and reconstruction efforts" on the northwestern coast, and welcomed its pledge to return 70-80 percent of the refugees home by the end of the year, but urged fast progress.
"Immediate and substantial progress in restoring freedom of movement for the displaced is an imperative, if Sri Lanka is to respect the rights of its citizens and comply with its commitments and obligations under international law," he said.
Rights groups accuse the government of treating refugees poorly and detaining them against their will for longer than necessary.
