AT&T is introducing new family mobile share value plan from 02/02/2014 and additional $100 credit per new line.

Reason: added general deal picture
We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
My corporate discount does not apply to any part of mobile share value. I've talked to 2 different reps and they 1) denied me and 2 )gave me the discount specialist phone number. So just be aware, that at least ONE (mine) corporate discount plan views this as a discounted plan already. I've always been told that corporate discounts vary from one to another, and it is an agreement made between each company and ATT.
I say this just so people make sure they confirm for THEMSELVES that they do in fact get the "discount on the data portion" as has been confirmed here, because not everybody is getting it. |
Do the math:
If you're getting $100 saving every month that comes out to $2400 over 24 months (2-year contract). Then consider the $99 price for an iPhone 5C (5 x $99 = $495). Add in the upgrade fee of $36/line (5 x $36 = $180) Total added cost for 5 subsidized iPhone 5c is $3075 or $615 subsidy per line - HUH? PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS MATH? YOU ARE WRONG! The iPhone 5C at retail is $549, so if you bought them at full price you save around $66/line (excluding tax). You have to decide if the convenience of upgrades outweighs these savings. There are some additional considerations too: - Buying second-hand devices can save you $50-$100 more per device (ebay, swappa) - The savings get bigger if you decide not to buy iPhones (Nexus, Moto X, etc..) - Sometimes you can get the upgrade fee waived (all you have to do is ask) |

"We are sisters. We will always be sisters.Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song."
Elizabeth Fishel
"I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood are conditions people have to work at. It's a serious matter. You compromise, you give, you take, you stand firm, and you're relentless...And it is an investment. Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come."
Maya Angelou
"For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands."
Christina G. Rossetti
"There can be no situation in life in which the conversation of my dear sister will not administer some comfort to me."
Mary Worley Montagu
"A sister is both your mirror - and your opposite."
"No one knows better than a sister how we grew up, and who our friends, teachers and favorite toys were. No one knows better than she..."
Dale V. Atkins
"Sister is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship."
Margaret Mead

Photos of Celebrity Baby Violet Affleck with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
Violet Brings Ben and Jen For Her Library and Park Runs
Violet Brings Ben and Jen For Her Library and Park Runs
The Affleck-Garner trio had an active end of their week around LA. On Thursday Ben joined his little ladies for a trip to the park and on Friday it was just Jen and Violet on their way out of the library after checking out some books. Little Violet is still showing off her love for trendy stripes and that stuffed buddy of hers. We're not ones to jump all over pregnancy rumors, but let's just say that people are starting to wonder about Jen's love for loose tops, just saying.

It may just be the way the wind is blowing + Violet and her books covering her stomach, but I totally think she is preggos. :prego:
6 years
i'm just gonna stick with that top doesn't help pregnancy rumors! but i'm sure if its true it will be confirmed eventually
6 years
Lunula, embellish much? Since when has sexy and alluring translated into nose candy, public drunkenness, and pantiless escapades? The Britney saga must still be fresh on the brain. Jen, while "nice" in a W.VA Moon Pie way, just doesn't do much for me as far as her trite acting abilities and current hausfrau style.
6 years
I don't think either of them care about being sexy or alluring, I think they care about their family. And dissing Jen for being "Pollyanna Perfect"? You'd rather she went out and got drunk, sniffed some blow & got photographed with no panties? I admire her for being "nice" and I like Ben A LOT more since he's been with her. They don't play to the cameras, they just act like a normal couple. Guess that's why I like 'em so much!
6 years
They seem like good parents together. But as far as any "hot" chemistry between Ben and Jen. I just don't see it. He looks bored and restless half the time. And, she seems consumed with Violet 24/7. Her personality is very similar to that of Reese Witherspoons, very Pollyanna Perfect. Unfortunately, that doesn't translate to sexy or alluring (which, gasp, one can still be after becoming a mom).
6 years
bbabe it is if you are irresponsble people which they def. are not. This baby was def. planned for right after Jen did a lot of work in a row (a play, 2 movies) and Violet is 2 now, which is good spacing IMO. Better than the Bradgelina bunch who are going to have their hands too full!
6 years
They are such a cute family, though I think they are tired of the paps following them around!
6 years
hmm. looks like she is pregnant. which blows my idea that a ben/jen split is on the cards out of the water - or is it possible to be pregnant and unhappily married at the same time?
6 years
:rotfl: wadewifey3! I couldn't have said it better myself.I am actually surprised Jen and Ben haven't had a second by now. I think Violet is about three years old.

Totally love this family! I, too, want Jen to be pregnant. I'd love to see an adorable addition to this family.

this is so funny, I was telling a friend a month ago that I thought she had the beginning of a bump in the first picture. I hope they are! http://popsugar.com/1712019

She's totally pregnant! You can tell in the pics where she's holding Violet...her leg will naturally fall on Jen's stomach, and look how far out it is!

I really hope Jen is pregnant, but she's been known to wear loose tops even when she's not

Do you realize that your business's financial statements are a valuable management tool for decision making? You may be thinking, "Well, I just get them done because the bank needs them for my loan file," or, "I think I have a copy in a drawer somewhere."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Digging out... Bermuda shorts
Winnipeg enjoyed fifth-warmest year on record
It may have been the warmest year on record for the United States, but Winnipeg can celebrate 2012 as its fifth-warmest.
Environment Canada meteorologist Dale Marciski said the average mean temperature in Winnipeg in 2012 was 4.6 C, two degrees higher than the normal mean temperature, based on 140 years of climate records.
And at one point, the year was shaping up to even be warmer.
"The first nine months of the year, we were warmer than normal -- March was the warmest ever -- but then came October, November and December and we slipped back down," he said on Monday.
Marciski said the only years warmer than this one were 1987, at 5.4 C, 1931 at 5.3 C, and 1878 and 1998 tied at 4.7 C.
He said the absence of days when the low fell to -30 C or below in 2012 was also unusual.
"The coldest temperature of all in 2012 was -29 C and that wasn't until Dec. 24," Marciski said.
"That's only the second time we never had a temperature of -30 C or colder in a year. It happened once before, in 1931, but even in 1987 we had temperatures of -30 or below."
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Tuesday 2012 was the warmest year on record for the 48 states in the continental United States.
The NOAA also said the official average temperature across the U.S. was 55.3 F (12.9 C), beating by a full degree Fahrenheit the temperature experienced in 1998, the previous record-holder. The temperature was also 3.2 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th-century average.
Marciski said the amount of snow in Winnipeg is another way of seeing this winter is different than last winter.
He said last winter, as of Jan. 8, 32 centimetres of white stuff had fallen on the city, with a total of 70 cm of snow the entire winter.
As of Tuesday, 74 cm of snow have already fallen here this season.
"We've almost received what we got for the entire winter (last year)."
Marciski said overall precipitation for all 12 months in 2012 was 432.5 millimetres, 84 per cent of the normal 513.7 mm, but it wasn't close to being Winnipeg's driest year ever.
"It was the 33rd-driest year out of 140 years," he said.
"Our driest year was 1961 with 320.0 mm, while our wettest year was 1962 with 723.6 mm. It just shows how fast climate can change."

We have been here for dinner in the past, always great food. I would say it's the best restaurant in Niagara. Always consistent. Spring Rolls are a must have, as well as crab cakes, which I would say are the best I have ever had. Mains consist of a variety of dishes. Family operated, kitchen, Dinning room, all run by... More
I've eaten at a number of restaurants in NOTL over the years. There are several other excellent ones; but all are higher priced than Ginger's. Not that Ginger's is cheap, but it may offer the best value for money in town. The service was superb (although it was a very slow night in late November, making it easy for the... More

Best value in NOTL! I don't like curry......but love Gingers! The spring rolls are to die for. Seth and his Mom make everyone feel welcome! And, we LOVE the creme brule!
My husband and I ate here during a weekend visit. Loved it! Great service - clean crisp environment - and terrific fusion food. We split the calamari, soup and curry. Delicious!
My wife and i ate there and we each ate everything off of each others plate except that I didn't eat the shiitake mushrooms that came with her meal, sadly she did and she us barfing all night long. When I called the restaurant the next morning to simply advise them of this, they took a very negative attitude with... More
Excellent fusion food. Great local wines by the glass from smaller vineyards. We received excellent suggestions for pairings and appropriate glassware (thank you Ginger!). Attentive and pleasant service. We ordered three courses, were completely satisfied, and arrived a bit tardy for the for the show as we were enjoying dinner so much and lost track of time. The room was... More
One of the meals we ordered here was generous in its portion [the grilled Ontario pork loin] and very tasty. The other meal, however, was smaller than many appetizers I've had and at $26 was ridiculously overpriced. This was the braised duck ravioli, served in a small bowl with a few thin slices of meat and five ravioli swimming in... More
The restaurant itself is somewhat small with unassuming decor, but the food was really quite good, and an excellent value compared to other area restaurants. The service was quite attentive

It was red! It was shiny! It was short! Listening to the chorus of outrage about Caroline Flint's fashion shoot in a women's magazine, I began to wonder if the former Europe minister had posed looking as sultry as Dita von Teese. In fact, as someone sniffily pointed out, she wore chain-store clothing for the photographs, which were taken some time before she resigned, to accompany an interview about her life as a politician.
On Woman's Hour last week, Flint told Jenni Murray – normally the most courteous of presenters, but on this occasion quivering with puritan disapproval – that she was trying to connect with an audience which doesn't take much notice of politicians.
The relationship between women politicians and the Prime Minister is still at the top of the agenda a week and a half after Hazel Blears – suddenly repentant, as of two days ago – joined Jacqui Smith in leaving the Cabinet.
Flint has been altogether more robust than the former Communities secretary, even though both women have scotched the claim that they were involved in a plot against the Prime Minister: Women Against Gordon, as the media inevitably dubbed them. (I am willing to allow this label, by the way, only if male MPs who don't protest undying love for the prime minister are in future referred to as MAGs.) Blears's je-regrette-tout performance on Friday was excruciating to watch, calling to mind someone who has just emerged from a serious bout of political re-education. I couldn't help wondering what pressure she'd been under to produce such a startling change of heart.
Like Jane Kennedy, the Farming minister who gave up her job on Monday, Flint said she resigned after the Prime Minister questioned her loyalty. She has been mocked for her remark about being used as "female window-dressing", but as I understood it, she was saying not just that Brown likes to have a pretty face in his government but that he puts women there to display his credentials to gender equality. Then he marginalises them behind the scenes.
Flint isn't alone in disliking the briefings that No 10 habitually use to destabilise ministers and backbenchers, but her defence of her actions is all the more impressive because she has broken the unwritten 11th commandment for women: Thou shalt run thyself down at all times.
A very English puritanism is at work here. Generations of women have struggled to assert that there's no contradiction between being beautiful and clever, and they've got much further on the Continent than they have in this country.
Last month I ran into Ségolène Royal at a conference in Athens and couldn't resist rushing up to tell her how chic she looked in her orange dress and jacket. Royal lost to Nicolas Sarkozy in the French presidential election two years ago, but she's campaigning to be the Socialist candidate again in 2012. She's a beautiful woman, totally at ease with herself, and in France hardly anyone bats an eyelid.
Royal even defended one of Sarkozy's ministers, Rachida Dati, when she went back to work in January only days after giving birth. Dati was shredded by the female misogynists at the Daily Mail – their dedication to doing other women down knows no bounds – but Royal realised that Dati was desperately trying to hang on to her job and rejected the opportunity to belittle a glamorous rival.
If only we were as grown-up as the French: in this weird country, you'd better be badly dressed and self-deprecating if you want to be taken seriously as a woman at Westminster.

Won't hold back
It's Kismet: Sex and the City comedian Mario Cantone plays Hard Rock Live on Thursday, which also happens to be gay National Coming Out Day.
"I am lucky I am where I am because I was always out," says Cantone, a New Yorker who last week celebrated his first wedding anniversary with husband Jerry Dixon, a Broadway musical director. Dixon has written two new songs for Cantone's Hard Rock gig, his first full-scale South Florida performance in about eight years. He plans to take the new one-man show to Broadway sometime in 2013. Cantone, who says he prefers singing to telling jokes, will reprise some material from his previous show, Laugh Whore, which played New York and was recorded for Showtime.
"Sometimes people yell out for the old shit and you have to give them what they want." Will Cantone perform his blistering impersonations of Liza Minnelli and Judy Garland? "You bet your ass!" he says. "I have a brand new Liza number that Jerry wrote. Some new stuff with her and her mother. She doesn't like it, but I don't give a shit. I don't want to hang out with her anyways. She's a brilliant performer, but she's exhausting."
Mario Cantone appears 8 p.m. Thursday at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, near Hollywood. Tickets $39-$69. www.hardrocklivehollywoodfl.com.

MLB, Union Part Ways With Arbitrator Who Overturned Ryan Braun's 50-Game Suspension
Published May 15, 2012
ABIDING BY PRECEDENT: The AP's Mike Fitzpatrick noted MLB also dropped the 100-game suspension imposed on Rockies C Eliezer Alfonzo "for a positive drug test because of the same procedural issues that came up in the Ryan Braun case." In both cases, a dispute arose "over the storage and shipment" of the urine sample. A source said that Alfonzo "is eligible to play immediately." Alfonzo became the "first player suspended twice for performance-enhancing drugs under the MLB testing program when the commissioner's office announced the 100-game penalty last September" (AP, 5/14).

HoopsHype Ben McLemore rumors
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sacramento and Boston discussing a trade sending Ben McLemore to Celtics for the 6th pick, league source tells Yahoo Sports. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
"I'm not going there right now. He's gonna come in and he's and we'll have a chance to sit and get to know each other and be with the team and practice. But my main thing moving forward is Ben McLemore." - Malone Cowbell Kingdom
Earlier this week, McLemore was rumored to be part of a package deal with the Boston Celtics for Rajon Rondo. How has McLemore dealt with the distractions of his first trade deadline? "I've been staying focused," the 21-year-old rookie said. "Staying focused on what I need to do, just getting better each and every day. Playing my game, working hard each and every day and not trying to really focus on that. Just working on myself." Cowbell Kingdom
D'Alessandro went out of his way to speak to the media and deny McLemore was on the table, as reported by News 10 in Sacramento. "So, I'm standing here today and I'm saying Ben McLemore is a guy that we have not put in deals. He's a guy that we love here. "So, sources? I think I'm a source. We haven't put Ben in anything," he continued. "We look at Ben as a major part of what we're doing long-term." NBCSports.com
Thomas and rookie guard Ben McLemore were the subject of a trade rumor on Monday, but coach Michael Malone and general manager Pete D'Alessandro refuted the reports following practice on Tuesday afternoon. "The report that was, I think on Yahoo!, about our offer to Boston was so erroneous and I don't know where it came from," Malone told reporters on Tuesday. "We dispel the rumors that are out there that we know are not true, but at the same time, this is a business and you have no idea what can happen up until trade deadline. I think all of our players realize that." Cowbell Kingdom
D'Alessandro took exception to the report and chose to make a statement publicly, rather than have it come out through an unnamed source. "I think a lot of people act in ways in this league that I choose not to do," D'Alessandro said. "So, I'm standing here today and I'm saying Ben McLemore is a guy that we have not put in deals. He's a guy that we love here. "So, sources? I think I'm a source. We haven't put Ben in anything," he continued. "We look at Ben as a major part of what we're doing long-term." news10.net
Marc Stein: Kings moved swiftly today to make it clear Ben McLemore will NOT be dealt this week but strong word in circulation is Thomas CAN be had Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Brian May: Pete D'Alessandro says Ben McLemore is not now nor has been discussed in trade talks Twitter @BMayNews10
Jason Jones: Take any trade rumor mentioning Ben McLemore with several grains of salt. Kings would have to be blown away w/ a deal to move him. Twitter @mr_jasonjones
Jason Jones: Kings would still prefer not to give up future picks or take on additional salary unless it's for an impact player (like Gay). Twitter @mr_jasonjones
Sean Cunningham: For the record, Ben McLemore said he wasn't going to attempt the 720-dunk in the Dunk contest if he'd had more to show off. #NBAKings Twitter @News10Sean
Source said Kings and C's discussed a deal involving Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore and a pick for Rajon Rondo, but Rondo wasn't interested in re-signing with Sacramento and the Kings strongly value McLemore. Yahoo! Sports
James Ham: From new Yahoo! power rankings: "Sacramento and the Kings strongly value McLemore," has been added. Which I can confirm 100%. Twitter @James_Ham
Source said Sacramento offered Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore and two picks for Rajon Rondo. Rondo wasn't interested in re-signing with Sacramento. Yahoo! Sports
He is known for his absurd vertical leap and ability to finish in traffic, but when asked if his style is more aerodynamic or high-flying, McLemore told CLNS Radio, "A little bit of both." "I'm definitely a high flyer. I can get high. I just want to show my athleticism out there on the floor and bring a lot of excitement out there." Being both aerially dynamic and a high leaper, the current holy grail of the slam dunk, the 720, has come under consideration. "I was thinking about that, nobody has put that up," McLemore told CLNS Radio. "But we'll see." Celtics Blog

Originally written on
Ted's Army
Last updated 11/18/14
We have heard rumors that the Boston Red Sox and Dustin Pedroia have progressed in talks about a contract extension. Well, those rumors are true, and they are in fact making progress on getting one done.
According to an industry source, the Red Sox and Dustin Pedroia
are have made "progress" in talks to sign the second baseman to a
contract extension. Talks have between the team and the player have been
ongoing since the offseason.
Pedroia is in the fourth year of a six-year, $40.5 million deal that carries a team option of $11 million for the Red Sox.
That should make you feel all tingly and good inside...but not too tingly, that would just be weird.
Lock Pedey up for 10 more years, I am sure no one would argue that. There are no details on length and value of the extension, but I would guess somewhere in the 4-6 year, $15-17 million per season range. Just a guess.

Chris Pine insists he is bringing his own perspective to the role of CIA analyst Jack Ryan.
Chris Pine has compared taking on the role of Jack Ryan to "jumping off a cliff".The actor realises the pressure that comes with following in the footsteps of stars such as Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford, who have played previous incarnations of the CIA analyst. However, Chris believes he will bring something new to the role."Once you kind of jump off that cliff, you're off the cliff. I can't be Alec Baldwin, I can't be Harrison Ford; I can only really do my own thing and stay true to the pillars of this character," he told Empire.Chris is no stranger to taking on high-profile roles, having reinvented Captain Kirk for the 2009 movie Star Trek and the hotly-anticipated next instalment Star Trek Into Darkness.Although the star feels a connection to both Kirk and Jack, he insists they are poles apart. Chris appreciates Jack's cool and calm exterior, claiming he stands out from other action heroes."Where Kirk's a man of brawn, Ryan's a quieter guy. He's not Jason Bourne, he doesn't have 50 kinds of kung fu. He figures it out like MacGyver," he explained.Kenneth Branagh is directing Jack Ryan and has spoken about why the character is still relevant to cinemagoers today. "This kind of character could be a dinosaur, but he becomes somebody who is intimately engaged with what it takes to be in the world right now," he explained. "We have the freedom to reflect the current climate."The plot centres on Russian terrorist Viktor Cherevin - played by Kenneth - who is plotting to destroy the US economy."There is a lot of grey in this. What does it take to be a patriot in 2012? Cherevin is prepared to do certain things for his country," he added.

Well, we were excited to ring in the New Year with all of you at First Night Alexandria. Unfortunately, Mike had a poorly timed run-in with a table saw. The good news is that he gets to keep all of his fingers. The bad news is that the middle finger of his right hand was smacked hard enough by a kicked-back piece of wood that it requires immediate surgery to put it back together again.
There are probably only one or two things that would keep us from playing this show, but "immediate surgery" is one of them.
We're sorry we won't see you. Mike's lined up already to do some heavy duty weeping at physical therapy to get him up and running in short order. We'll update the schedule as soon as we know more about what he can and can't get away with.
'Til then, Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing you soon...

A donut and a mojito for breakfast...Helloooooo Derby Wekkend!
Quick question... Why were there condoms frozen into ice cubes?
cliffnotes. writing studyguide on last pack of smokes. glad this semester is over.
I had a dream that our used condom started talking to me. I told me that I did an amazing job, and told me that it saved me. From aids.
Its like every time I go out with you, it always involves Serbian chicks and taco bell and you always manage to get both all over my bed.
Ripped lines in the bathroom before my presentation.. Got bonus marks for my enthusiasm.. This is why I love drugs
Im blowing my nose and the only thing coming out is beer
Please tell me I didn't help an old woman shave her vagina last night. Please.
That's the least of the fucked up shit you did last night dude.
Before we fucked we both mutually agreed not to tweet about it.
Fuck edible panties there is a dress made out of bacon
I have a boner in one of my pics with her which no one noticed.
Some rando guy literally just put my shoes on and tied them for me because I'm drunk... Is this what it feels like to be a princess?
I like how she'll post a picture on Instagram with her boyfriend and 2 hours later you'll send me a snap of her panties on your rear view mirror
Can you please help mom and dad? Theyre trying to figure out Skype, and its like 2 cavemen finding fire.

Impressive blackberry roots removed!
Explaining how invasive holly is a problem in our natural areas
Restoration work continues at Ebright Creek park. On 12/13/14 further planting and blackberry removal was done. Thanks to the volunteers and native plant stewards the habitat next to the creek is being improved. And as an added treat, 3 pileated woodpeckers were spotted in the nearby trees before work began. Most of us had never seen that many in one place at one time.

Save those leaves!
More good advice from WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife about getting your garden ready for winter.
November 2014
Leaving those leaves helps your garden and wildlife
By Jamie Bails, WDFW Habitat Biologist
A few autumns ago, after watching a neighbor rake and bag fallen leaves, I asked him if I could spread the leaves around my perennial beds as mulch. He hesitatingly agreed and watched suspiciously as I quickly loaded up eight bags into the wheelbarrow and giddily spread the leaves around my flower beds.
Like many people, my neighbor narrowly understood the value of leaf litter. Leaves were simply raked, bagged and taken to the dump -- not my idea of natural gardening. The next year, they cut down the trees, reducing my leaf supply. For now, a 100-year-old big leaf maple and other native trees I've planted will provide a healthy supply of leaves, saving me truckloads of soil composted from other people's yards.
Using those leaves for mulch also helps the wildlife that visit my yard. They provide a food source for insects which in turn are eaten by many birds, reptiles and amphibians. Leaves also indirectly support wildlife habitat in general by improving overall soil and plant health.
As leaves are falling and you're raking them up this month, think about these Top Ten Reasons to use those leaves as mulch:
Provides food source for beneficial insects which improve the health of the soil and in turn are eaten by wildlife
Improves and adds nutrients to the soil
Increases and strengthens plant root growth
Regulates the temperature of the soil, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter
Reduces weeds, as long as the mulch is weed free and deep enough to prevent weed germination or smother existing weeds
Prevents the surface of the soil from cracking or eroding by retaining moisture
Prevents rain water from running off the soil and disappearing down a storm water drain
Prevents water from splashing up onto plants which slows the spread of soil-borne diseases
Prevents the soil from crusting or compacting
Creates a natural forest floor environment
Without leaf litter on the soil, rain will release clay and silt particles, increasing sedimentation, reducing the soil's capacity to absorb water, and accelerating soil erosion. Leaf litter also reduces wind erosion by preventing soil from losing moisture and providing cover.
Leaves are valuable soil amendments because they're the dominant pathway for nutrients to return to the soil, especially nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). These nutrients accumulate in the top layer of soil until leaves decompose, by rainfall and organisms, and leach or release the nutrients into the soil below.
A wide range of organisms takes part in the decomposition process, most relatively inconspicuous, unglamorous and, from a conventional human perspective, even undesirable. This detritivore community includes beetles and their larvae, flies and maggots (the larvae of flies), woodlice, fungi, slime molds, bacteria, slugs and snails, millipedes, springtails and earthworms. This community works out of sight and gradually, over months or years. Cumulatively, they are the unsung heroes who convert all dead plant and animal material into forms that are useable for growth.
There are several ways you can use leaves as mulch:
Slow-Compost Method: Rake the leaves off the lawn (assuming you still have lawn) and pile on flower beds to make the rich hummus and leaf mold that you would find in a mature forest. The leaf nutrients will leach out while the remainder of the dried leaf will slowly compost over the winter, putting nutrients directly back into the soil with the aid of the detritivores. This is a great method for soils that are clay, compacted or dry, and it won't smother or burn plants.
Lawn-mower Method: Run your lawnmower over the leaves and then rake onto plant beds. This is a great alternative to purchasing beauty bark or wood chips. When spreading the leaves, be careful not to cover the plant crowns. Shred large leafs like big leaf maple to break down more quickly. Large, leathery, evergreen leaves like madrona, laurel and photinia need to be shredded unless they can be allowed to decompose over several years in a back corner. Evergreen leaves can be added to a hot compost pile to accelerate decomposition.
Both of these methods are excellent ways to encourage beneficial insects in your yard. Beetles, spiders, and centipedes readily crawl under leaves for protection through the winter, as well as deposit eggs in the soil or leaf litter.
Compost Pile Method: Store leaves in feed sacks and add to compost pile as brown material over winter. An abundance of leaves can be in a wire cage for decomposition over the winter. By spring, the compost is ready to spread on beds or can be added to the food waste compost bin.
Livestock Method: If you keep poultry or livestock, use your supply of leaves for litter or bedding along with straw or hay. Leaf mold thus enriched with extra nitrogen may later be mixed directly with soil or added to the compost pile or spread throughout the garden.
If you don't have enough leaves from trees on your own property, ask a neighbor if you can rake their leaves onto your yard. They may think you are crazy, but you'll be walking away with valuable free soil amendments and a boost for your backyard wildlife.

Good advice from WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife about getting your garden ready for winter.
September 2014
Fall "To Do" list from your backyard wildlife family
Your family may be making those fall outdoor chore lists, as daylight hours shrink, temperatures drop, and the urge grows to "batten down the hatches" in the yard and garden.
Here's another "to do" list from your local wildlife "family" that you may find easier to check off:
Leave some "dead heads" on your flowering plants to provide seeds for some of us birds and other animals
If you must rake leaves off grass lawns, just pile them under some shrubs, bushes or other nooks and crannies to provide homes for those insects that we birds love to eat; leaves make great mulch to help your plants, anyway!
Keep that dead or dying tree right where it is (unless, of course, it's truly a hazard to you), so we can feast on the insects in the rotting wood or make winter roosts or dens in its cavities
Give yourself and your mower a rest for at least a portion of your lawn so we've got a patch of taller grass to hide and forage in
Save just a little of that dead bramble thicket for us - it makes great winter cover and we don't need much!
Fall is a good time to plant shrubs, so replace invasive, exotic Himalayan and cutleaf blackberries with native plants of higher wildlife value like blackcap (native black raspberry) or red raspberry; native currants or gooseberries found in your area; or native roses such as Nootka or baldhip.
Pile up any brush or rocks you clear around your place to give us another option for nests and dens
Take it easy on yourself and let go of the "perfect" garden image; we wild animals like less tidy, "fuzzy" places because there's usually more food and shelter there
Get yourself a comfortable chair, sit back, and congratulate yourself on having made a home for wildlife and a haven of relaxation for yourself!

Prince Charles: West Should Emulate Indian Slums
What would England look like if Prince Charles were to become king, and it were to pursue his left-wing vision of multiculti envirosustainability? Like one of the miserable slums that fester in India:
Britain's Prince Charles has cited the Mumbai shantytown setting for the film "Slumdog Millionaire" as a role model for sustainable living in Western cities, a report said Saturday.
The 61-year-old heir to the British throne writes in a new book being published next week that the Dharavi slum is better and more instinctively organised than many Western towns, London's Daily Telegraph said.
In the book, called Harmony, Prince Charles contrasts the "fragmented, deconstructed" housing estates of Western nations with the "order and harmony" of the dusty potters' colony featured in the Oscar-winning movie.
"We have a great deal to learn about how complex systems can self-organise to create a harmonious whole," he said.
"The real lesson I took from Dharavi was about the vast asset we can call 'community capital.'"
Prince Charles says that, despite the complete absence of government support, Dharavi's residents recycle their waste and build their own homes out of whatever materials come to hand.
Such as cow dung, garbage, et cetera. But I'm guessing Prince Chucklehead will stay on in his palace.
