How to Boondock in an RV!!
There is nothing like the feeling of freedom when you set up camp
in an ideal, secluded, picturesque spot out in the hinterlands
somewhere. Not in a campground, and not in an RV park, but
somewhere on the gorgeous public lands that have been set aside
by the government for recreational purposes. "Boondocking" refers
to this kind of camping (also known as "dispersed" camping), and it
is our favorite way to go. This page describes some of our
boondocking hints and tips, in particular:
• Locating boondocking sites
• Living without electrical or water hookups
• Managing the holding tanks
• Tips for conserving electricity and water
For further ideas and tips about living independently full-time in an
RV, see the Full-time RVing page and Tips & Tricks page.
We first discovered boondocking outside Death Valley National
Park in California. As we drove into the valley from the east we
saw all these rigs parked on the left side of the road. They
appeared to be camping, but it wasn't a campground.
We got down to the valley and
discovered we'd arrived just
before the start of a parade to
celebrate the 49ers' trek
through Death Valley 148 years earlier. Not only were the roads lined with people sitting in camp
chairs waving flags (and looking in our direction expectantly for the parade to arrive), but there
wasn't a site to be found in any of the campgrounds. The ranger recommended that we go back
up the hill to the "slabs," where we had seen all those RVs, and camp there.
Once we got set up, we discovered that we were in the middle of an Escapees Boondockers
Rendez-vous. Each rig was perched next to a large cement slab that used to be a mobile home
foundation. The area had been a little mining camp at one time. The mine had closed, the
mobile homes had been towed away, and all that remained were the cement slabs, which now
made ideal patios for RVs. We stayed for 12 days with the club members and learned a lot about
how boondocking works. We have been hooked ever since. Now, whenever we see a rig
camped in a spot that isn't a campground, we figure that they have probably found a really cool
little place to spend a few days, and we make a note on the map for future reference!
The US National Forest Service, the Bureau of Land
Management and the National Park Service all manage vast
tracts of land. Each agency oversees its land with a different
mission and reports to different government branches. Maps are
available from each agency, but we've found that the Delorme
state map books are excellent and they are our primary
mapping resource (Amazon does not seem to carry the most
recent editions). The map books clearly show where the public
lands are, and although it is sometimes hard to see the detail of
the forest roads in these books, once you are on them with your
bike or truck it's easy to decide what is passable with an RV and
what isn't. Benchmark also sells an excellent series of
topographical atlases.
It is relatively easy to locate beautiful places to camp. It just
takes a little time. If we don't have information on boondocking sites in an area, we sometimes stop at the ranger's office for the
agency that manages the land. They often have maps and suggestions of places to go. If we can't find the ranger's office
(sometimes they are in a distant town), we will set up camp for a quickie overnight somewhere nearby and then explore the area
on our bikes or with the truck. It's a lot easier to decide whether the rig will fit into a particular site when we don't have it with us.
And there's nothing worse than going down a narrow dirt road with the rig -- only to find there is nowhere to turn around.
Day's End Directory
A lot of times we will hear about places by talking to other travelers.
But the best source of information we've found for boondocking sites
is the Day's End Directory available to members of the Escapees
RV Club. This is, without doubt, the most comprehensive list of
boondocking sites available, and is an incredible value for the
money. In 2009 it filled two one-inch 3-ring binders and has
expanded dramtically since then. We use the Day's End Directory
as our only travel guide, rather than relying on any campground
books, Lonely Planet guidebooks or anything else. Annual
membership in Escapees is about $70, and an annual subscription
to the Day's End Directory is about $10.
Day's End is a fantastic resource and lives on in the spirit of true
sharing among people with like interests. It is the precious property
of all the people who have kindly submitted sites they have found
over the last two decades as well as of its caretakers who have
spent countless hours editing and assembling the information. Bob and Viva Lee Ed masterminded its early years and Guy Gipson
has done a phenomenal job more recently to make it available in a myriad of electronic formats.
After subscribing to Day's End, please do not post the listings online or distribute the list to friends.
Both the NFS and the BLM maintain campgrounds on their lands as well, and both have rules and regulations
regarding boondocking. Usually you can't stay longer than 14 days, and they ask you to "pack it in and pack it
out," meaning: don't leave the place a mess. Generally an RV won't leave a footprint behind, but sometimes we
arrive at a site and end up filling several grocery bags with trash, some of it 20 years old or more (rusted tin cans
with flip tops!). I'd rather pack out someone else's trash than leave that legacy for our great-grandchildren to find
when they come with their RVs in 80 years.
My feeling is that if I get to stay for free for two
weeks on a gorgeous piece of property, surrounded
by hundreds of acres of natural beauty, with a multi-
million dollar view out my front door, it's no problem
for me to pick up a little trash so the place is nice for
the next visitor. I'd also like to keep the NFS, BLM
and NPS happy with RVers so they continue to allow
boondocking. Florida's Ocala National Forest
doesn't allow RVs to boondock any more because
for years the winter visitors trashed the forest. What
a shame that those thoughtless people ruined it for
the rest of us.
Some boondocking spots are "destination locations" where we'll stay
for the entire time limit allowed. Other spots are good just for a brief
overnight while traveling from one location to another. When we're
in transit to a distant location we'll look for a quiet rest area or scenic
lookout on a quiet road for an overnight.
Many roads that are marked as "scenic" on the map have pullout
areas where drivers can rest and enjoy the view during the day. At
night no one stops at these places, and they can be ideal for
sleeping. If we can't find a rest area or pullout, we'll look for a
parking lot that might not object to an overnight visitor.
Walmart is famous for being very RV-friendly, however they are not always in control
of their land. We learned that it's best to get an "okay" from security before staying the
night. In Buckeye, Arizona, after we got permission to stay, we found out that the
permission wasn't really theirs to give. We watched, horrified, as the police arrived
and ticketed every 18-wheeler and RV in the parking lot (except ours, not sure why!).
The store was built on leased land and the town did not want RVs or trucks in the lot.
They are situated right on the interstate, so it is only natural that trucks stop there.
Sadly, we watched the police ticket a truck that had just pulled in for an hour. The
driver went into Walmart to exchange an item and to get a bite to eat McDonalds.
When he found his truck ticketed, he went ballistic. The store manager and store
security came out to the parking lot and confronted the police, but the ticket was
written and the police would not budge. Needless to say, the manager and security
were extremely upset and the driver vowed that he would never stop at a Walmart
again. The store manager kept saying "Sam Walton would not like this at all. We're
trained on this stuff. This isn't the way he wanted customers treated!"
In places where boondocking is
allowed, we try to keep a low profile,
usually remaining hitched to the
truck and often not even putting the
slides out. We watched in
amazement one time as a family set
up camp in a Walmart parking lot, complete with camp chairs, patio mat,
barbecue and cocktails. They proceeded to play a football game between the
parked cars, narrowly missing our truck with a bad throw at one point. According
to their license plates they were 2,000 miles from home, and they had apparently
forgotten to bring their decency and respect for others with them.
Besides the Day's End list from Escapees described above, there are other resources we rely on. Walmart sells a Rand McNally
road map book that has several pages listing the address of every Walmart in the US and its interstate exit number if it is near one.
This is a handy reference. Cracker Barrel also allows overnighting at most of their locations, and they have a map that lists the
addresses of their stores.
Camping World allows overnighting in some of their parking lots. We
haven't found a printed listing, so we look for them online. Many Indian
casinos allow overnighting in their parking lots, and Casino Camper is a
terrific website that reviews the casinos and and indicates whether the
casino allows overnighting or has its own RV park. A couple has created
a website that is a study of all the National Forest Campgrounds in the
US, and they list valuable information about all the campgrounds,
including the date of their last personal visit, the size of the sites, whether
there is a dump or water, etc., and the cost (usually within a few dollars
of the actual cost when you get there). This is handy if you want to stay
a night or two in a campground while you scout out boondocking
There is also an online listing at freecampgrounds.com that we have
used on occasion. This is particularly helpful because some places you
would expect to be free may no longer be free or may no longer be
legal to park in, and this website's reviews give the current status. If
you have a GPS you can use the GPS coordinate database at
boondocking.org. Lastly, Don Wright had two books of free
campgrounds ("free" being $12 or less) for the Eastern and Western
states, both sadly out of print. Most listings cost money, and most of
those are $12 or less only if you carry a National Senior Access Pass,
for which you have to be 62 years old. Some of the listings have
incorrect or inadequate directions to the campground, but we have
used the books successfully a few times. The Army Corps of
Engineers also has a book for inexpensive campgrounds
predominantly in the eastern state (sadly out of print).
In order to boondock efficiently, you need to equip your rig to supply its own electrical power for extended periods. A generator is
okay if your stay is going to be just a few days or even a week or two once in a while. However, generators require fuel, and it
won't take long to run up a big fuel bill. They are also smelly, they require you to be home while you run them, and they are loud.
A far better alternative, and one which has the same initial cost as comparably sized generators, is to install:
• a good quality battery bank
• solar panel(s)
• a charge controller to protect the batteries from being overcharged
by the panels
These three items work together to charge the batteries whenever
there is daylight. Separately, you need:
• one or more inverter(s) for AC power
This (these) items allow you to run AC appliances on battery power,
regardless of how you charge your batteries
Here is a more detailed description of the solar setups we installed on both our Lynx travel trailer and Hitchhiker fifth wheel. The
Lynx had a modest setup with 220 amp-hours of battery capacity, 130 watts of solar power, and several small inverters. This
worked well if we were conservative with our electricity use. The Hitchhiker has a luxury setup (that allows us never to think about
conserving electrcial power) with 440 amp-hours of battery capacity, 490 watts of solar power, an 1100 watt pure sine wave
inverter and several smaller inverters.
Our Lynx travel trailer could hold 40 gallons of fresh water, including the 6-
gallon hot water heater, and the Hitchhiker fifth wheel can hold 70 gallons,
including the 10-gallon hot water heater. We have never had trouble finding
fresh water spigots to fill the tanks, except in Flagstaff, Arizona where water is
extremely scarce, and parts of inland northern California where many
campground spigots have become contaminated with bacteria.
The trick is getting the water from the spigot into the trailer's tanks. When you
have the trailer with you, it's easy enough to pull up to the spigot, get out your
hose and fill the tanks. However, when you are camped you need to get water
in jerry jugs. For a long time we carried six
6-gallon jugs (green plastic ones we got at
Walmart for about $10 each) in the back of our pickup. This enabled us to get 36 gallons of
water at one shot in town somewhere and then bring it back to the trailer. These containers
deteriorated in the sun over time, so we have replaced them several times and now carry just
It is easy to locate a spigot and run a hose from the spigot to fill the jugs. The only hard part is
maneuvering these ungainly jugs to the water tank intake on the side of the trailer. The intake
was located at a nice low point on the Lynx. The Hitchhiker has it located at shoulder level, so it
is a good workout for either of us to hoist 50 lbs of water onto our shoulders and hold the thing
steady while pouring it into the tank. When camped in one spot for a long time, we typically put
two jugs of water into the trailer everyday, so it is just a five minute job instead of a long ordeal.
Some people get a huge 40-gallon or larger tank that they keep in the bed of the pickup and they use an electric pump to pump the
water through the hose into the water intake on the trailer. So far we don't mind getting a bit of an upper body workout using our
individual jerry jugs and manual pouring system!
For a few years we also carried two 7-gallon blue plastic water jugs (from Walmart) for filtered drinking water in the bed of the truck
as well as 8 individual gallon containers of drinking water in the kitchen cabinets under the sink. Eventually we stopped using the 7-
gallong containers and just settled on keeping 14 or so 1-gallon jugs of drinking water under the kitchen sink.
We use about two gallons of drinking water per day (I cook with it too) and we
like to have it taste pure, so we typically pay 15 to 40 cents a gallon to fill up at
the reverse osmosis filtered water stations found outside (or occasionally inside)
Walmart and other supermarkets. When we are in areas that don't have these
filtered water stations, we use an inline water filter to filter the water at a regular
water spigot. We learned the hard way that it is best to use a flow-reduction
device so you don't blow out the filter, and it is best to keep the filter refrigerated
between uses so it doesn't grow bacteria.
Some people install a water filtration system at the kitchen sink, and others use
a two-stage filter system to filter all the water going into the trailer. We haven't
found either of those things necessary -- yet.
We prefer to keep all our water resources topped off, and arrive at a new
location with everything full so we don't have to go looking for water for a while. So we tow our trailer with 70 gallons in the tank, 24
gallons in the green jerry jugs in the truck bed, and 14 1-gallon jugs of drinking water under the kitchen sink in the trailer. That is a
total of 108 gallons of water. At 8.3 lbs per gallon, that is about 900 lbs of water -- quite a drag on our gas mileage! But that is one
of the trade-offs we are happy to make, as it means we can always unwind for a few days in our new location before we have to
start searching for water sources.
The popup held just 26 gallons of fresh water, including the 6-gallon hot water heater. So we had to conserve quite a bit with that
trailer unless we wanted to spend all our time searching for water. The shower was outside the trailer, and we both showered
standing on rubber mats from Home Depot while wearing out bathing suits. This worked extremely well! Though I have to say it
was a little embarrassing and kinda funny the one time I was in Yavapai Campground outside Prescott, Arizona, and the ranger
came by to talk to us while I was all soaped up. She didn't say anything or even raise an eyebrow, and I just kept scrubbing away
as we talked.
With the popup we typically used 6 gallons of water per day. With the Lynx it increased to 8-10 gallons of water per day. With the
Hitchhiker we've gotten sloppy and we use 10-12 gallons per day. Some of this is because the tanks, both fresh water and holding
tanks, were progressively bigger with each rig, and some of this is because we have gotten soft and decided not to "rough it" any
Our Lynx held 40 gallons of grey water and 40 gallons of black water. The
Hitchhiker fifth wheel holds 78 gallons of grey water and 50 gallons of black
water. The popup didn't have a toilet and it just had a water outlet for the grey
water (you needed to place a bucket below the outlet to catch the grey water).
RV dumps are generally easy to locate. Any campground that provides spaces
for RVs will typically have one, or the host knows where there is one nearby.
Many states provide them in rest areas. Flying J and TA Travel truck stops offer
them for free, and you can pick up a pamphlet showing the locations of all their
truck stops at any of their locations. Private RV parks will often charge $5-10 for
the use of their RV dump, and some larger gas stations, especially ones situated
on or near interstates, will have ones you can use for free.
Oddly, most RV dumps are built so that the trailer is cantilevered away from the drain while it is parked there, and many have the
drain slightly raised. All of this defies gravity and makes it hard to fully drain the tanks and the sewage hose. So if we have the
time and there isn't a line at the dump, we take the time to put down boards beneath the trailer tires on one side to get the trailer
tipped towards the drain as much as possible. Black water first, then kitchen grey, then shower grey (we
have two separate grey tanks). This gets the worst stuff out first and cleans the sewer hose and adjoining
hoses upstream below the tanks as we go along. Mark has thick rubber gloves and he has installed a paper
towel holder and disinfecting hand soap in the storage compartment near the dump equipment on our
There are a ton of holding tank chemicals on the market designed to control odors. Many of them use
formaldehyde, which is very effective at preserving things (like the fetal pigs we dissected in high school!).
Unfortunately formaldehyde is so hard on the environment -- and on RV dumps -- that we learned some RV
dumps in California have had to close. We really like a product called RV-Digest It that we found in RV
stores around Arizona. This product is basically just enzymes and bacteria that like to munch on the stuff in
the tank. Presumably this product will keep the tank level sensors from getting clogged too, because the
little critters climb the walls and chow down the stuff on the sensors. After a year and a half of using this
product in our new fifth wheel all the holding tank sensors are still 100% accurate.
Both the Lynx travel trailer and the Hitchhiker fifth wheel have two 30 lb. / 7 gallon propane tanks (the popup had one 20 lb. / 5
gallon propane tank). On the Lynx (and popup) the tanks were mounted on the hitch tongue and on the Hitchhiker they are
mounted in a side compartment near the hitch king pin, accessed by a door. Both units have a valve connecting the two tanks that
automatically switches tanks when one tank is empty. When both tanks are full the valve collar is green. When one tank is empty
the collar turns brown and you manually throw a switch so that when that tank goes empty as well the system will switch to the
other tank. The idea is to fill the one empty tank before the second one goes
This is a really nifty system. In the spring, summer and fall, when we aren't using
propane to heat the rig, we empty one tank in about 18 days. In the winter one
tank lasts about 12-14 days. It usually takes us 3 or 4 days to get to a propane
filling station to fill the tank. Usually, we take the empty tank off of its mounting
brackets on the trailer and haul it in the truck to get it filled. Occasionally we are
towing the trailer when we need to get propane, so we take the tank off its mount
right there at the filling station (most stations won't fill the tank if it is mounted on
the trailer).
We use propane in the buggy to run quite a few appliances: the hot water heater,
the stove, the oven, the refrigerator and the furnace. It is critical to have at least a little propane in one tank at all times, as the
fridge runs on propane continually. So propane is the one utility that we purchase for our home. At 2008 prices, it costs about
$40-$60/month. Some RVers travel with the propane switched off so no gas can flow while driving. This is a very safe way to go
and we have heard of trailers essentially blowing up while being towed because something went wrong in the gas lines and a spark
ignited an instantaneous fire. However, we always keeps our propane on so things in the freezer don't melt.
When boondocking, or drycamping, it is necessary be conservative with our various resources. If we get crazy running all our
appliances all the time we will run out of water or propane or even battery power sooner rather than later, and resupplying each of
those things takes some effort. We have learned little tricks from friends and from our own experience for keeping our usage to a
Conserving Electricity
-Use lights only where you need them. Each standard bulb that is installed in an RV draws about 1.5 amps. Some lights have two
bulbs, drawing 3.0 amps. Flourescent lights typically draw 1.5-2.0 amps. The more lights running, the more amps are being
-Run your laptop from its battery and charge it when it is turned off, rather than plugging it into power when you use it. Our 13"
Macbook laptop uses 1.6 amps when it is turned off and charging. It uses 4-6 amps when it is turned on and running. It can run
for 2-3 hours without being charged, and it takes the same length of time to charge as the amount of time it is used. So, if it runs
on battery power for 3 hours and is charged later, it uses 4.8 amps. If it is run while plugged in for 3 hours (leaving it fully charged
when finished), it uses 15 amps. Also, if you are using a portable modified sine wave inverter there is no chance for software to get
corrupted when the computer is turned off. So if you don't trust your inverter, it is less likely to damage your computer if the
computer is not booted up. Wacky inverter power will not likely damage the hardware components of your computer when it is
turned off and charging. However, a brownout while it is booted up, with the operating system and data files open, may corrupt the
files. That being said, we have used a $17 inverter purchased at Walmart for hundreds of hours to charge our Mac, and it has
never had a problem. My understanding is that if you have a lump (transformer) somewhere along the charging cable of the
device you are charging, that transformer will protect the device. Our laptop has a lump in its charging cable. The Sonicare
toothbrush, electric razor, cordless drill and camera battery chargers do not. Still, none of those devices has ever had a problem
with the cheap inverter.
-Rather than using a coffee maker, which can draw 1,000 watts or more, I use a
plastic Melitta coffee filter and pour my own drip coffee. There is no mess and it
is very easy and quick. Mark doesn't drink coffee, so this one-cup-at-a-time
method works great for me. When I lived on a sailboat and wanted to make pots
of coffee I used a French Press. This method has the advantage of preserving
the bean oils in the coffee. The only difficulty for an RV lifestyle is that you have
to dispose of the grounds before washing the French Press so they don't go
down the drain, and that can be messy. On a boat you can just rinse the
grounds out of the press in the ocean off the swim platform.
-Charge things while you drive. When we lived in the Lynx with its small 130-
watt solar charging capacity, we kept our cheap Walmart inverter in the truck
glove box, and we brought Mac (and sometimes the toothbrush and camera battery chargers) into the truck to charge them as we
drove. This isn't necessary now that we have the huge solar charging system on our fifth wheel, but we used to do it daily, even
if driving just 5 miles to the store.
-Use oil hurricane lamps for light at night. These can be found at Walmart for $5. Get the better quality "no smoke" lamp oil ($8 for
a big bottle). In the Lynx travel trailer we usually used two oil lamps at night when we sat around chatting or making music in the
evening. It wasn't quite enough to read by, but cast a nice romantic glow in the trailer. When we watched TV we lit just one oil
lamp. We purchased some metal hooks and hung the lamps on the hooks from the lip on the big slide. In the morning we just put
the lamps and hooks away in a cabinet. Hurricane lamps are also terrific as outside lights, so you can find your trailer in the dark,
or as picnic table lamps. Again, this is not necessary with our large 490-watt solar power array.
-Use small inverters, as they draw fewer amps to run. Our Walmart 150 watt inverter draws 0.4 amps when it is turned on. Our
Radio Shack 150/350 watt inverter draws 0.6 amps. The 800 watt inverter draws 1.0 amps. Our 1100 watt true sine wave inverter
draws 2.0 amps. This "No Load Draw" is an important spec to consider when you are buying an inverter.
-Charge more than one item when you turn the inverter on. Since inverters use battery power just to run, you might as well charge
a few things at once. Our toothbrush takes 2-6 hours to charge, so we would also charge up the cordless drill or camera batteries
or computer at the same time. With the toothbrush and computer (turned off) charging at once, our draw was: 0.6 amps for the
inverter, 0.1 for the toothbrush, and 1.6 for the computer, or 2.3 amps total.
-Keep the volume down on the TV/DVD and stereo. We measured a difference of 1.5-2.0 amps on our 19" LCD TV if we turned
the volume way up.
-Switch to LED bulbs. We did this with a lot of lights on our boat,
and a great resource for bulbs is www.superbrightleds.com. We
have not made the switch in our trailer. However, Hitchhiker
installed two 40 watt 110 volt AC bulbs in each of the sconce lamps
next to our recliners and sofa. These drew so much electricity (8
amps DC per sconce lamp!) that we never used them. Then we
found some LED bulbs at Walmart. These drew 0.15 amps per
bulb, well worth the $5 or so that each bulb cost. Sadly, we have
never seen these bulbs at Walmart again, and I suspect they were
being test-marketed and failed for some reason. They were rated
as good for replacing 40 watt bulbs, but in reality they cast what
feels like about 15 watts of light and the light is a bit harsh. They
are perfect for background lighting when we watch TV.
Conserving Water
-Turn the water off when you soap up in the shower. Some shower heads have a button on the handle to make this easy.
-When you turn on the hot water faucet, use a container to catch the cold water that comes out first. We collect just enough to fill a
large drinking glass when we shower. We keep that glass on the bathroom sink and use the water during the course of the day
each time we brush our teeth.
-If the water supply is really scarce, collect dirty dishes all day and wash them all at once. Or, fill the sink with soapy water and
keep using that water to wash dishes during the day until the water is too dirty.
Conserving Propane
-Run the hot water heater just once a day. There is a debate whether keeping the hot water heater on and allowing it to "warm up"
the water throughout the day and night uses more propane than simply heating the water once a day. We have experimented and
have found that it takes about 20-30 minutes for the hot water heater to heat up our 10 gallon tank. If we keep it on, the heater will
come on again within two hours and run for another 10 minutes. If it does this for 24 hours it will use a lot more propane.
-Cover the hot water tank with a few fiberglass insulation blankets. We put two blankets on ours, for a total R-factor of R-12. We
also put insulation on all the hot water pipes throughout the rig. I first wrapped each pipe with aluminum foil coated insulating tape
(R-2) and then put a foam insulating tube on top (R-2) for a total R-factor of R-4 on the pipes. I couldn't reach all the pipes (if you
are ordering a new rig, ask the factory to insulate all the pipes). However, the difference is amazing. We heat our water each
afternoon before we shower. The water is still hot the next morning to wash our breakfast dishes. Also, once the hot water has run
through the pipes to the kitchen sink and shower, it stays warm in the pipes a lot longer.

Tori Spelling -- wife, best-selling author, homemaker, mompreneur and mom to two under two -- planned a ladybug-themed party for her daughter Stella's first birthday. Watch the celebration on Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood (Tuesdays at 10/9c on Oxygen). Here, Tori tells how she planned the birthday bash.
What inspired the party's ladybug theme?
We have always called Stella our little ladybug since she was born. Just like we call Liam 'monkey.' So, since I did Liam's first birthday party in a monkey theme, I wanted to follow tradition and throw Stella a ladybug party for her first. With that theme, I also thought it would be fun to make it a garden theme tea party.

The Heart Has An Attitude
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise. Ephesians 5:15 (ESV)
As we advance into our study of the heart and its attitude, we see when that which hinders is cut away, there will be a submission to the will of God and the end of stubbornness. This week we are looking at the heart of another, who's heart was not in the right place again. We will visit the book of Acts 8:18-19 about a character named Simon. Simon had previously been a sorcerer. He heard the word preached by Philip and he believed and was baptized as the scripture has said.
"And when Simon saw that through laying on of the Apostle's hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money. Saying, give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost." Now, Peter immediately saw that the thoughts in Simon's heart were wrong. Bitterness is the opposite of sweetness and its an attitude of anger, hurt or resentment. All wrong actions are rooted in the attitudes of the heart. So Simon's request was not an innocent misunderstanding. Inside he was feeling bitterness because he would no longer be the big important sorcerer. There are times it is hard to let go of past habits, ways and doings. Before, Simon had (Acts 8:9) bewitched the people of Samaria, professing out of himself that he was true. Even though Simon made an outward profession of faith in verse 13, did he really believe? We must watch what Peter says to him in verse 21.
We must understand that there is a difference between believing and professing to believe. Simon probably was taken more by the healing power of Philip than by his message. When he asked for the gift and offered money for it this response demonstrated his lack of spiritual life. When our heart speaks, then and then only the real you shows up. It's been said that we can come to church and pretend for 2 or 3 hours at the most, but the real person always come out sooner or later. If this is so, then who are we fooling? The eyes of the Lord are in every place beholding the good and the evil. He sits high and looks low. Our next step is to ask the Lord to help us be real and desire the heart of Jesus.
Simon completely misunderstood the power of God. Wrong desire, wrong reason. Simon wanted the gift that the Apostles had because he still wanted to be the one who performed great miracles, the one everyone looked up to. He wanted to continue holding a magical power over the people. Even when Peter told Simon to pray and repent for offering money for the Holy Ghost, he did not. He asked Peter to pray, not for repentance nor forgiveness, but for the judgment that Peter had alluded to him not come to pass. Therefore we must watch our hearts as we live our lives before people from every walk of life and all that we can't do we must ask Jesus to help us.There is no greater love than the love Christ provides for His people. I challenge you today, to ask God to reveal to you "areas" where you need to change and improve, but allow Him the lead in the restoring process. For our help is in the Lord!
Be Blessed!

Brampton Outdoor Lacrosse Bowl Petition
For the last few years I have been growing increasingly impatient with the City of Brampton over its neglected promise to rebuild the outdoor bowl it removed for parking at Brampton Memorial Arena. 5 years ago when it was removed, then Mayorial Candidate Susan Fennell (current Mayor) promised the BMLA while attending an awards ceremony (Brampton Minor Lacrosse Assoc.), that because of the removal of the BMLA owned outdoor facility there would be not one but two new outdoor facilities built to replace it. They were to be built at the old OPP fields next to the former Vanier Jail. This has obviously not transpired, instead another worthy cause Variety Village is hoping to purchase the land for thier own needs, good for them I hope they get it! However where is the one Bowl going to be built Nevermind the two Bowls promised to be built to replace the \"missing\" one. It is our hope that this petition can help persuade City Council into comming to a quick decision on this matter.

Cicero Town President Larry Dominick's wife files for divorce
BY STEVE WARMBIR Staff firstname.lastname@example.com November 7, 2012 7:32PM
Cicero town president Larry Dominick leaves the Dirksen Federal Building, 219 S. Dearborn, with wife Elizabeth at day's end Tuesday July 5, 2011. He is fighting a federal civil suit filed by plaintiff Merced Rojas. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Updated: December 9, 2012 7:37PM
Once, Cicero Town President Larry Dominick and his wife, Elizabeth, were the smiling, happy couple, appearing hand in hand at town events.
This week, they are trading allegations of abuse.
Elizabeth Dominick — who quit her job earlier this year as the director of the town's health clinic after citing "horrific mental abuse" on the job — filed for divorce this week from her husband. She cites "abuse" as the grounds, with no further details. She was making more than $80,000 a year in her town job.
Larry Dominick, through Town Spokesman Ray Hanania, shot back in a statement; "Larry Dominick has never been abusive to Elizabeth or to anyone else in his life in fact the only victim of abuse in his current marriage is Larry Dominick."
Elizabeth Dominick, 55, did not return a phone message Wednesday.
In the statement, Larry Dominick said he has been estranged from his wife for more than a year, that she had deep-seated "emotional issues" and that he had urged her to seek medical attention.
When she left her job, Elizabeth Dominick departed with a bang, telling the Sun-Times she hated working at the town, in part because many top town managers did not regularly show up to work.
She said her only regret in leaving was "that I failed in leading more people to Christ."
Elizabeth Dominick married the town president in December 2006 and soon after, she was hired for her town job. As part of the divorce, she is seeking the couple's residence in Cicero, according to the filing.
Various activities of the Town of Cicero government have attracted the interest of federal law enforcement. While Elizabeth Dominick has previously acknowledged speaking to FBI agents, she said it was only in relation to personal threats she had received and that she was unaware of any wrongdoing in town government.

Digital Piano
Form meets function in the DP-990R-PE — a sophisticated, streamlined piano with amazing sound and touch that also serves as a functional piece of furniture. Originally available in Medium Cherry (DP-990-MC) and Satin Black (DP-990-SB) finishes, the new DP-990R-PE raises the bar with its Ivory Feel keys and stunning, high-gloss Polished Ebony (PE) finish.
Approximately 30cm deep (approx. 12") in depth, the DP-990R is streamlined and stylish, and has an eye-catching, reflective polished ebony finish. The classy exterior is a perfect match for the Ivory Feel keyboard — a first for the DP series. With the control panel and lid hinges in the same black finish, and with silver pedals, the DP-990R is in a class of its own. When the keyboard lid is closed, the DP-990R transforms into an uncluttered, elegant piece of furniture. With its refined, elegant presence, the DP-990R is a perfect match for any room.
Has a large music rest and headphone hook for easy storage.
Designed for safety, the keyboard lid closes slowly and smoothly. The DP-990R provides friendly features for players of all skill levels.
The onboard voice engine features multi-samples meticulously captured from a full concert grand piano. As such, it truthfully reproduces the characteristic ring and tone of each individual key. In addition, "Piano Resonance" reproduces subtle variations in aftertones and string resonance that are characteristic of grand pianos. With a maximum polyphony of 128 voices, the DP-990R can handle the most demanding performances without note dropouts.
3D Sound Control creates a dramatic sense of depth, and Dynamics Sound Control makes each note distinct. The DP-990R's high-quality piano sound is reproduced through a bass-reflex speaker cabinet.
Reproduces subtle changes in the sound according to damper contact with the strings, and controls the amount of release vibration when the pedal is stepped on gradually.
The DP-990R's Ivory Feel keys are made of moisture-absorbent material that offer the natural look and tactile feel of real ivory and ebony.
The natural touch of a grand piano has been reproduced based on hammer movement — not with springs — giving the DP-990R a beautiful and authentic touch. The keyboard's escapement mechanism produces the beloved "clicking" feel of a grand piano.
Build your skills with the DP-990R's built-in metronome and recorder. You can also divide the keyboard into two zones using the Twin Piano function, allowing your instructor to play along in the same pitch range during personal lessons.
The DP-990R can play back its onboard songs, music from CDs*1, and music files stored on USB memory devices. You can even change the tempo and key in any of these formats. The DP-990R can also play back only the left- or right-hand parts of its onboard songs and music files for practice. With the optional CD-2e*2 you can create original CDs of your performance.
*1 When used with optional USB CD drive (CD-01A).
*2 See www.roland.com/products/en/CD-2e for details.

Tuff The Talk Of The Town On TV News
A heroic school clerk who talked down the shooter in a Georgia school earlier this week is making the TV rounds and talking to the President following her brave act.
During CNN "New Day'"s interview with President Obama this morning, the President revealed that he called Antoinette Tuff to thank her for her bravery.
Tuff also appeared on "AC360″ last night in what was billed as an "exclusive," although it is worth noting that she appeared on ABC's "World News" Tuesday night and "Good Morning America" Wednesday morning, as well as to some local TV stations, so it was not the first interview with her.
It was the first interview with Tuff and the 911 operator she called during the incident, which may have been enough to qualify it as an "exclusive," as loose as the term is used nowadays.

As is being widely reported in the press, Congress reached final adjournment for the year on November 22, leaving behind final resolution of FY 2003 spending bills and a bipartisan measure to make improvements in Social Security's disability programs (SSI & SSDI). Congress will not reconvene until January when new members will be sworn in for the start of the 108th Congress. The first order of business will be completion of the FY 2003 appropriations bills, including funding bills for mental illness research and services and housing and veterans programs.
Congressional Leaders and the White House Agree on Spending Levels for FY 2003 Bills Even though the completed "lame duck" congressional session made little progress on resolving the impasse over the FY 2003 funding bills, congressional leaders and the Bush Administration did agree on overall spending levels. While FY 2003 began back on October 1, Congress has still not resolved 11 of the 13 appropriations bills that fund all federal government programs. Federal agencies are now operating on a "continuing resolution" that is keeping FY 2002 levels in place through January 11, 2003.
The agreement reached late last week between the President and Republican congressional leaders will leave overall spending levels close to the President's original request for FY 2003. This is roughly $10 billion below the overall levels contained in the FY 2003 spending bills that were stalled in the House and Senate prior to adjournment. When Congress returns in January, leaders on the House and Senate Appropriations Committees will be forced to trim $10 billion from spending bills for the current fiscal year. For mental illness research and services and veterans and housing programs, this will likely mean that the President's original request for FY 2003 will prevail. Especially vulnerable in the process of finishing the FY 2003 spending bills will be those programs for which there is a proposed allocation in a pending appropriations House or Senate appropriations measure that is above the President's request.
In the final hours before final adjournment, the House leadership rejected efforts to pass bipartisan legislation designed to make programmatic and technical corrections to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) programs. The bill (HR 4070) had previously passed both the House and Senate without a single negative vote. Late last week, one last effort was needed for the House clear technical and conforming changes made by the Senate in order for the bill to be sent to President Bush. As noted in an E-News message of November 20, HR 4070 included several reforms to improve program integrity and performance for SSI and SSDI beneficiaries with mental illnesses. For example, HR 4070 included new protections for SSI and SSDI beneficiaries that receive cash assistance through representative payees and new requirements for Social Security field offices to issue receipts for earnings reports submitted by SSDI beneficiaries participating in the Trial Work Period program. Congressional supporters of HR 4070 plan to reintroduce the bill when Congress reconvenes in January.
In the days leading up to final adjournment, supporters of the "Our Lady of Peace Act" (HR 4757/S 2826) did not make an attempt to revive the legislation and pass it through the Senate by "unanimous consent." NAMI had been keeping a close watch on efforts to expedite passage of HR 4757/S 2826 in the Senate and clear the bill for the President's signature. The House had previously passed the bill on October 16 without dissent. The "Our Lady of Peace Act" would authorize federal funding to ensure that states and localities report the names of individuals "adjudicated as mentally defective" with the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NCIC). During consideration of HR 4757/S 2826, NAMI expressed concern that the legislation as drafted contained overly broad language with respect to the categories of individuals whose names would be reported to the NCIC and significant potential to reinforce stigma and compromise the privacy of individuals with mental illnesses. View Additional background on HR 4757/S 2826.

Gabrielle de Polastron, duchesse de Polignac
Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, Duchess of Polignac (8 September 1749 – 9 December 1793) was the favourite of Marie Antoinette, whom she first met when she was presented at the Palace of Versailles in 1775, the year after Marie Antoinette became the Queen of France. She was considered one of the great beauties of pre-Revolutionary high society, but her extravagance and exclusivity earned her many enemies. Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron was born in Paris in the reign of King Louis XV. Her parents were Jean François Gabriel, comte de Polastron, seigneur de Noueilles, Venerque and Grépiac, and Jeanne Charlotte Hérault. As was customary with aristocrats, most of whom bore more than one Christian name, she was generally known by the last of her names (Gabrielle). She was born into a family of ancient aristocratic lineage, however by the time of Gabrielle's birth, despite their exalted ancestry, the family were encumbered by many debts and their lifestyle was far from luxurious. Whilst Gabrielle was still an infant, her parents moved to the family château of Noueilles, in the province of Languedoc in southern France. At the age of three, she lost her mother and her  ( Wikipedia article )

Go ahead: Eat more chocolate and shop for a new pair of shoes.
Doctor's orders.
Of course, everyone knows they should ring in the New Year with pledges to eat healthier and exercise more.
But the experts at the Cleveland Clinic shared these seven unusual tips for happier and healthier living in 2013 on Health Hub from the Cleveland Clinic, available online at www.health.clevelandclinic.org.
"They're still healthy—just a little more fun, too," the Cleveland Clinic's consumer health, wellness and medicine blog stated.
1. Eat more chocolate.
Research has shown eating chocolate can increase blood flow to the brain, decrease the impact of heart disease and even fight depression.
"Eat in moderation, though," the Cleveland Clinic warned. Just 6.7 gram of chocolate a day, or roughly a small square of chocolate two or three times a day, are enough to provide health benefits.
2. Dance.
"Dancing burns calories, reduces stress, strengthens muscles and bones and can improve relationships," according to Health Hub. "So whether you're grabbing a partner or dancing with yourself, shake a leg—along with the rest of your body."
3. Get out of your comfort zone.
Stimulate your brain by trying something new, such as learning phrases in a foreign language, attempting a puzzle or enrolling in a class.
"Your brain needs exercise, too," the Cleveland Clinic experts on Health Hub pointed out.
4. Take a mental time out.
"We all take sick days when physical illness strikes, but unchecked stress and depression also can have negative effects on your health, including heart disease and anxiety," the Cleveland Clinic's consumer health blog said. "Use a vacation or personal day when you really need it and do something you find relaxing."
5. Drink coffee.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, research has shown drinking two or three 8-ounce cups of coffee daily can reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease by as much as 40 percent and Alzheimer's disease by up to 20 percent. Remember, though, moderation is key, just as with chocolate.
6. Go shoe shopping.
For women, replace high heels with shoes with a thicker heel that's 21/4 inches or smaller. The Cleveland Clinic also recommends opting for square-toed shoes rather than pointy-toed versions.
"To be sure of a good fit," the Cleveland Clinic's Health Hub suggested, "try shoes on at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest."
7. Laugh.
"Research is not definitive on whether laughter is the best medicine, but studies have shown laughter's positive effects on blood flow and sleep, among other things," the Cleveland Clinic stated.
Regardless, the Health Hub concluded, "a little more humour in your life can't hurt."

David Estrada is 36-years-old. He was born in the state of Michoacán, Mexico. He is the 5th child in a family of 9 siblings. At age 15, after he had finished 9th grade, David came to the United States with his cousins looking for a better life.
English was the first barrier David encountered in his search for employment. The only job he could find without any English was working in the fields. David worked in the fields for 12 years, driving a tractor, cutting, packing and carrying boxes of lettuce. In 2000 at age 32, David injured his back carrying boxes. He became disabled and had to undergo back surgery. Unable to continue working, David was very frustrated. Eventually David overcame his frustration with the support of his wife and his therapist.
David had been married for six years when he was injured. He knew he needed to learn English in order to obtain employment to support himself and his wife. It was then he decided to attend the local Adult School and take an English as a Second Language (ESL) class. David studied ESL for six months and then registered in a driving course to learn to drive buses and obtain the driving license required. Once David obtained his driving license, he became employed with the company that provides Paratransit services in Monterey County. He has been driving Paratransit vans for three and one-half years.
David considers himself successful because he has a three-year-old daughter and both he and his wife are employed. They are homeowners and invest their savings in real state.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Last week we introduced you to a woman battling and bringing awareness to a rare form of breast cancer. Renee Dillon has an advanced stage of inflammatory breast cancer that has spread to her spine. Her friends and family will host a benefit in her honor. The money raised will help Dillon with her medical expenses.
In the process of contacting local businesses for donations, she came across Animal Kingdom. Laura Bartholemew, who runs it, agreed to donate a basket.Her daughter, 16-year-old Lindsay Bartholemew, had already planned to donate her birthday money to a cancer organization because of personal connections to the disease. The 16-year-old felt compelled, instead, to donate to Dillon after hearing her story.
Dillon said whatever Bartholemew donates will be matched, and that portion of the day's proceeds will go to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston to research this rare form of cancer.
Dillon said, "We get the call back and we were so grateful for the basket, and when we heard that news we were just, like, overwhelmed, because it's not something you generally hear from a young girl of 16. To be that selfless, that mature and generous."
If you'd like to attend the benefit, it's Sunday, January 20 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the American Legion in Cicero. Tickets are $10 in advance.
To make a donation in Lindsay Bartholemew's name, send donations to: Dana Farber Cancer Institute450 Brookline AvenueBoston, MA 02215

Section IV: COC Programs
3.8.2 The institution ensures that users have access to regular and timely instruction in the use of the library and other learning/information resources.
NARRATIVE/JUSTIFICATION FOR JUDGMENT OF COMPLIANCEThe Killam Library Access Policy includes this statement under Intellectual Access:
The Killam Library provides library instruction in a variety of formats and venues. Individual one-on-one instruction is provided by librarians and library paraprofessionals at the Reference Desk during all hours of library service. In 2002-2003, there were 3,363 recorded instances of such one-on-one instruction. Killam Library's web page includes links for many instructional pages designed by Killam librarians. Twenty-eight subject pages (grouped under Research Subjects) list online databases by subject and instruct users in the contents and use of those databases. Eight "How-Do-I-Find" pages (pull-down menu near the bottom of the main page) provide in-depth instruction on how to find and use Killam Library books, electronic books, journal articles, newspaper articles, government documents, GIS/mapping resources, websites, and other library catalogs. These pages concentrate on electronic information access tools, so that they are useful to both in-library and remote users. There is also a running marquee, changed at regular intervals, to alert users to new resources and services available in the library.
Formal library instruction is available by request. (Killam Library Hours and Services) Both general orientations and presentations customized to disciplinary needs and specific class projects are offered. Off-campus groups are also permitted to schedule library orientations, in part to assist in student recruitment. Additionally, the General Education course for developmental students includes a library orientation and a library assignment as a standard part of the syllabus. Altogether, these offerings generated 82 library instruction sessions in 2002-2003, with a total of 1,857 attendees. Students and faculty who attend instruction sessions are asked to complete an instructional evaluation (Killam Library Instruction Evaluation Form), and these are compiled by each instruction librarian in his or her annual evaluation report. In the most recent evaluation report, the two librarians who did instruction last year and are still here (representing the overwhelming majority of last year's instruction sessions) reported an average of 99.6% positive (yes) responses on all four questions. There is also a question about library instruction on the annual library survey; on the most recent survey, 85.3% of respondents indicated that they were satisfied or very satisfied with the library instruction they had received. (Killam Library Institutional Questionnaire, 2002-2003).
In addition, the library provides 44 computer workstations throughout the building which offer computer access to students during library hours for Internet access, use of databases and to conduct research. (Computer Workstations) Assistance and instruction in the use of research and online databases is provided by reference librarians and library staff.

This excursion departs from Castries Harbor, where you will board one of Spencer's private twin-engine speedboats or a chartered water taxi to embark on an unforgettable journey by sea to the stunning and breathtaking Jalousie Beach.
Jalousie Beach . . . a touch of tropical paradise!Visited by celebrities and famous for its idyllic location between the Pitons your tropical beach getaway unfolds on the picturesque shores of Jalousie Beach.
During your 3-4 hours at Jalousie Beach, let the warm, Caribbean breeze and tropical sun envelope you while you relax with a complimentary cool beverage. Enjoy a swim in the warm crystal clear water or marvel at the abundant sea life as you snorkel beneath the waters of the Petit Piton. A hot and sumptuous Creole beach lunch is also provided.
Jalousie is French for "jealousy" and it is easy to see why! This dramatic white-sand beach nestled between the stunning volcanic peaks of the Gros and Petit Piton boasts amazing scenery and luscious views that will simply take your breath away!
All too soon, your time in this tropical paradise will come to an end. You will once again board one of Spencer's speedboats for the return trip to Castries and the cruise ship terminal or your hotel.
As we cruise around the base of the Petit Piton, we will make our first sightseeing stop in Soufriere Bay. Here you will notice the Bat Cave, a unique 4-storey high cleft in the coastal rock.

SUNRISE (CBSMiami) – The Florida Panthers announced Tuesday a tribute to the team's first head coach, Roger Neilson. The Panthers will unveil the Roger Neilson Memorial Press Box on Monday.
"We are humbled and honored to dedicate the BB&T Center press box in Roger Neilson's name," Panthers President & CEO Michael R. Yormark said in a statement. "He is a hockey legend, Hockey Hall of Fame Inductee and our organization's first head coach. We are also very proud to partner with Roger's House as we make this special announcement."
Neilson was announced as the Panthers' first head coach on June 2, 1993. He coached the Panthers for two seasons and compiled a 33-34-17 record in the team's first season. His .493 winning percentage is an NHL record for the first year as a franchise.
Neilson left the Panthers and took an assistant coaching job with the St. Louis Blues. In 1998, Neilson took over head coaching duties for the Philadelphia Flyers, where we would spend parts of three seasons.
In the fall of 2000, Neilson was hired as an assistant coach in Ottawa. Martin stepped aside for the final two games of the 2001-2002 season, in order to allow Neilson to reach his 1000th regular season NHL game as a head coach.
His coaching career record stands at 460-378-162, including making the NHL postseason on 11 different occasions.
Neilson passed away in June 2003 from complications of multiple myeloma. He set up the Roger Neilson Forever Hockey Fund to help get children more involved in hockey.

Byon March 11, 2013
The Washington Post today has a long piece concerning the impact of Sequestration: The Sequestrationing on the iconic big-government program we like to call Yellowstone National Park. It turns out that a lot of those self-reliant, keep-yer-dead-hands-off-mah-sagebrush Western galoots out in Wyoming don't like it much when their pet ideology starts biting them in the regions where they keep their wallets.
By midday, a news release had gone out, and the angry while-you-were-out slips were piling up. Tour guide Rusty Cole's was at the top. "He's mad as hell and not buying your argument," read the message. "Rusty should call his congressman," Wenk said in frustration, rubbing his eyes.And Cole did. Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) returned his call that night. "He said the delayed opening is not a done deal," recounted Cole, who is furious that park officials are slashing two weeks from his 20-week season. "They spend millions of dollars to operate Air Force One, and they can't come up with some money to blow open the roads in Yellowstone?" Cole said. But the sequestration law slices money from most budgets across the government, including $136 million from the 398 national parks.
The magical thinking above is positively glorious. Rusty wants to make a buck cowpokin' tourists on government land, but that lazy Kenyan Muslim Socialist he keeps hearing about on the radio wants to spend money flying off to play golf and to hang out with his pals, the people who make that rappity-hop music. That's whose fault it is, not the Republican party, which has been calling for drowning government in the bathtub for over three decades and which, in Rusty's part of the country, has been playing footsie with virtual sedition for almost as long. (Among other things, they would like to privatize the national parks and/or let people drill for oil or dig for rare minerals there. How much does Rusty think Private Woodlands Inc. is going to charge him to show tourists around the site of a lovely hole in the earth? Never mind.) He calls John Barrasso who, during the 2012 campaign, delivered the response one week to the president's weekly radio address, telling the nation that.
"Yet the President does not seem to appreciate or value the private sector. Remember, he said if you have a business, you didn't build it, someone else did. "In Wyoming, and in communities all across the country, there are bakers and florists, and dry cleaners and farmers who did build their businesses, and whose families have been working in them for generations. "Those business owners know what President Obama does not. "They understand, as Ronald Reagan put it, that you can't be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy, and still be for the little guy.
Of course, now that the entire economic strategy to which his party has held for 30 years is starting to soak Wyoming, Barrasso is shocked, SHOCKED, at the grievous harm being done to his constituents.
Those of us who think the national parks are one of the unalloyed Good Things that the federal government did in the last century find Rusty's plight deplorable, but also we find Barrasso complaints less than compelling. "I Got Mine, Jack" is not a plan for a national economy.

It is Saturday so I am looking over our current projects and at the same time monitoring Joomla! CMS Group discussions and this post made me come to conclusion that since Joomla MVC we did not have default core template overrides examples except the documentation on how to make one.
To make things easier for you and provide small help to anyone who would like to change the default core extensions markup , I have made template override packs for Joomla 3.x core extensions wich includes overrides for core components and modules.
Pack 1 is default template override with no markup change. Pack 2 is also default template override but without calls for Bootstrap. Please note that in order to completely disable Bootstrap when using Pack 2 you also need to remove call for Bootstrap from your template index.php file.
You can do this by commenting out folowing line from your index.php:
Just download the pack your need and move it to site_root/templates/template_name/html folder. Extract the zip and now you can control the layout of core Joomla! extensions from your template overrides folder.
To see example go to your website and find the page where module login is published. Now open site_root/templates/template_name/html/mod_login/default.php file and add some text.
Refresh your web page and your change will be visible.

Witches, fairies and being good and naughty…
Posted on | April 5, 2010 | 7 Comments
The extremes my children contain within themselves continually amaze me. If M sees someone upset she'll immediately offer a soft toy or a hug by way of comfort. But then incidents happen like last week when I had to leave the table briefly during supper time. M stuffed the entire contents of her plate down the back of the sofa and then assured me she had been so hungry she had finished her food in double quick time. As you can imagine I was rather cross – and since then the topic of behaviour, both good and bad has featured in quite a few of our conversations.
By chance we had a perfectly timed library find this week – Witches and Fairies written and illustrated by Eva Montanari.
On starry nights, there are
fairies in the woods.
And there are witches….
Needless to say,
fairies and witches
are different.
This is all very well but then one day along comes Clotilda "who hasn't any stars to be a fairy. And her hat is too pointed to be a witch." Not accepted by either camp Clotilda is sidelined and left watching the fairies and witches play. One day the fairies and witches end up fighting over Clotilda, but her actions have the marvellous effect of mixing everything up so that it is no longer possible to tell who is a witch and who is a fairy. In fact, the wood become home to a new game, a game of –
"… being Clotilda,
and being, like most of us,
a little bit
and a little
This humorous story has been a great starting point for discussions about what makes us the same and what makes us different. Given what happened last week it's also led to a conversation about the possible differences between fairy-like and witch-like behaviour.
When I asked M about what she'd done with her food in this context she gave me her "I know what you're getting at but I'm not going to give you what you want" look and said, "Mu-um…I'm a little bit bee. A little bit bee and a little bit wasp." I had to smile.
Eva Montanari's illustrations are just as much fun as her story. The witches and fairies are a far cry from any Disney version. They are impish and energetic, not classically beautiful but nevertheless adorable.
We've all enjoyed this book – it's not too pink and sparkly for Dad to enjoy reading it with the girls, it's just the right length and ratio of text to illustrations for J to enjoy, M has certainly understood the message and it's brought a smile to my face – all in all it comes highly recommended by the whole family!
Taking this post at Nature Kids, written by Beth from Acorn Pies, and also by these adorable storytelling dolls made by Farida who writes at Saints and Spinners as our starting point we set about making our own fairies with stars on their clothes and pointy hats.
We needed:
1. I draw the pattern for the hats and dresses on to pieces of felt and M then cut them out.
2. I sewed up the hats and turned them inside out. I sewed a button on the dresses to keep them from falling of the fairies.
3. M and J then decorated the fairies with the star gems and glue dots (we didn't use regular glue because I was concerned about it seeping in to the felt and not really working as an adhesive).
4. The fairies then set to play all over the house!
Witches and Fairies: *** (3 stars)
Whilst making and playing with our fairies we've been listening to:
Other activities which could work well alongside reading this book include:
What about you and your family this week? Have you had more fairy time than witch time? What other non-pink and sparkly fairy books would you recommend?

I admit that the story of disappearing food made me chuckle and think of some recent wicked behavior that's been happening here. Your craft is very beautiful and perfect for the story, and I am going to look for it in the library. One not-quite-fairy story that we really enjoyed was Stella, Fairy of the Forest by Marie-Louise Gay. It's part of the larger set that we haven't read yet, but it's a really lovely story.
April 6th, 2010 @ 11:58 pm
I had to laugh about the disappearing food, too Sounds like a great book!

Hi Natalie and Kim,
I'm glad someone got a smile out of the food episode! And thanks, Natalie for the tip about Stella, Fairy of the Forest.

While on the topic of fairies – have you yet been bitten by the Rainbow Magic series?!
Had blogged about it in this post:
