DD goes to Hebrew school 2x a week, that's her dad's religion...
It's expensive. Really expensive. AND, they have to have a member of the family ALSO be a member of the Temple, so we have to pay my membership too (even though I'm not, technically, Jewish and am only there for DD). The cost for me is $800/year. When X failed to pay that along with tuition, they got a hold of me, and I emailed him and said, I'll split it with you. He's disgruntled, says that's a lot of money, but ok. FINE. Right? It's not THAT big of a deal. Except I want to email him back and say: 1. I drive DD to Hebrew twice a week. That's 60 miles (30 RT x 2). Let's say 25mpg = $4 (gal) x 2 (RT) = $8 per week x 30 weeks = $240 in gas (which is a low estimate) 2. I buy snacks for her turn. I buy supplies for her turn. 3. I am two towns away from my hometown during her school, and it's for 2 hours, so that's two hours I'm NOT doing something else. 4. I attend the extra functions (time). We attend Temple (at least 2 hours a week). I engage socially with people with whom I have nothing in common and endure interrogations (it feels like) about my life, etc. NOT to mention, but I also pay for her music equipment rentals for band, her Girl Scout activities (and all gas/time-selling cookies we do approx. 2 hours per day of walkabouts). I also pay for her dance lessons AND do the mandatory volunteering for that activity which is approx. one hour per week. AND pay for her dance shoes, and clothing (which is expensive and really hard to find as it's regional dancing costumes). I don't mind. I don't even really care. It just irritates the pea-waddin' out of me that he can heave a big *virtual* sigh "it's expensive". Yeah. And he already told me that Hebrew is coming out of her college fund. WHATEVER. So he's not even really paying out of pocket. And then he has the GALL to complain that he's SO BUSY and works 80 hour weeks. Well, DUDE. I don't know anything about 80 hour weeks. I work 40 hours at my *real* job. Then I pick up YOUR kid from school, do at least an hour of agonizing homework, take her to tutoring (because you couldn't be bothered to have her do it over the summer so she came back with barely rudimentary math skills even though you PROMISED this year you'd get her tutoring you didn't even have her do the worksheets I sent with her and let her play video games all summer). (deep breath) Then I SIT IN THE PARKING LOT for an hour while she's in tutoring. Then I drive her home, in rush hour, for MORE homework. Every single day DD has an activity (educational) of two hours that requires at least 30 minutes of driving/preparation. That's at least 12 hours extra tacked onto my week. Not including the shopping for supplies, the time spent with homework, etc. I get up at five, and I go to bed at 10p. So I'm putting in 18 hour days. And no, not ALL of that time is spent on DD, but a good portion is. ARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not that I mind doing it. It's not that I mind the cost. It's not any of that. It's that HE THINKS HE'S BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY ME!! Somehow, he feels he got the short end of the stick. Boo. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I feel your pain! Question: Do YOU want your DD to go to Hebrew school? And do YOU care if she's raised Jewish or not? If YOU don't particularly care about it, why split it with him at all? And why even take the time? |
I agree with Sweeby-- DO you want this? I'm betting the answer is something like 'yes because it's part of Dd's father and something that is important FOR her'. Am I close? I completely understand your situation especially on the religion front. Ex 'was' Catholic and so we 'agreed' to raise our children Catholic even though I am not. I wasn't raised anything and I wanted Dd to be raised 'something'. It was important to him and his family so I did what was required of me to make sure Dd was at mass on Sundays even when ex was working. Took the classes to convert, although I walked out on class # 3 as I just couldn't convert my beliefs at the adult age that I was. I did it all for Dd and exDH. And then that ass goes and changes his damn denomination without even telling me after we divorced. And there I was still doing all this for Dd and he was attending a 'Bible' church that is a branch of the Church of Christ. WtHeck? I was not too Happy to find I was still doing all of this for THEM, something I wasn't even really a part of. Wasting money and time and effort. Blah So I feel ya! And those dance shoes are sooooooo expensive. Dd is taking three classes this year and the older they get, the more specialized the shoes become. Her tap shoes were $80!!!! And the ballet and jazz equalled $100 together. Not to mention the special leos and tights they require for each class AND the recital costumes are $100 each plus the fee to even be in the recital. But Dad pays child support so that should be enough right?! Scream away hun, I'm screaming right there with you!!! |

Thanks ladies. Hebrew school is awesome. The temple is fantastic. They teach so much history. I was raised for part of my life in Judaism so it's semi-familiar but I'm a shiksa for sure. DD LOVES it. But I don't think we'll do it again next year. You can attend temple without being a paying member, you just can't attend the school unless your parent is a paying member. Hence, all the big ticket items that are "free" to me as a member, I don't go to because they aren't age appropriate for kids (ie, really long). So it's pretty much a wash for me except for DD liking it so much. What happened was she was asking questions about God. So I told her dad and with his agreement I found a good temple and bit my lip and my tongue and signed us up... pffffttttt |

Help Morbid Myths make a splash!!!, spread the word to YOUR comic stores |
Help Morbid Myths make a splash!!!, spread the word to YOUR comic stores |

Advanced Member Group: Members Posts: 41 Joined: 9-January 08 Member No.: 2,519 |
In February Previews you will see the solicitation for Volume 1 of Morbid Myths! It will be in comic stores in April 2008! It is 104 pages and published by Alterna Comics with the art and story by Hard Way udios. The Diamond Order Code is: FEB08 3421 Page: 210 You can read a little more about it and see some sample pages here: http://www.comicrelated.com/commentary/080114001.html Here are a couple of excerpts from Reviews of Morbid Myths: The artwork was well paced and brought out the emotions that each character was experiencing. As far as the Job the narrator goes, he ranks right up there with The Crypt Keeper. - Gary Rodrigue (Comicnews.info) There was some really sharp monochrome artwork in this issue. If this team will be on-board for the duration of the series, it'll have a very quality look to back any future content. - 3 star review by Alex Haas (Indycomicreview.com) ...could easily fit in between the worlds of Army of Darkness and Shaun of the Dead... (Morbid Myths #1) Mixing a smartly dark sense of humor with absurd curiosity... (Morbid Myths #2) - C Zuga (Skullring.org) The characters immediately draw you in. They may be weird but they definitely are likable. You'll find yourself instantly caring about them. - 5 star review by Richard Vasseur (Jazmaonline.com) ...a richly etched-out and stunningly well-inked ongoing series... - Wizard Comics Magazine (Top 40 Indie Must-Reads of 2007) The art by Dwayne Biddix is cool, indie realistic black and white stuff but he really does make the story flow along, keeping your attention page by page. - 8/10 review by Iann Robinson (Former MTV VJ) Morbid Myths is lighter than most EC comics, and takes itself less seriously than The Twilight Zone ever did, and because of its tone, and lack of pretension, ends up being more enjoyable, as if it isn't a comic anthology at all but a series of well known urban myths being told around a camp fire. - 3 star review by Josh Buchin (Silverbulletcomics.com) Overall, Morbid Myths is a great effort with great art, good pacing a good horror comic host and some good stories. - T.E. Pouncy (Geeksofdoom.com) While neither of these stories are necessarily (in my jaded opinion) "scary" in that "sends you screaming from your bed at night" sense, they do get under your skin and lay into you with a vague disquiet. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's good horror storytelling. - 4 star review by Alex Haas (Indycomicreview.com) Make sure to go to your local comic store today and tell them you want to PREORDER this comic from them that they must order it for you! Look for Volume 2 coming later this year! Thanks and we hope you pick up a copy and love it as much as everyone else seems to have so far! Also, check out our other comics in Previews Catalog in Feb! Go to http://www.hardwaystudios.com/solicitations to see all the solicitations by month! Thanks and we hope you enjoy all of our books! |

'Ragamuffin' will have a local screening
A film about the life and death of popular Christian musician and songwriter Rich Mullins will be showing Jan. 27 at the Sharpsburg/PTC NCG Cinemas.
The 2-hour, 17-minute feature film is produced by Color Green Films, with producers David Schultz and David Mullins, Rich's younger brother.
"Ragamuffin: The True Story of Rich Mullins" will be shown at 7 p.m. Jan. 27 for a one night feature at the Sharpsburg/PTC NCG Cinemas.
Many parts of this film were shot on location from metro Atlanta down to the Warner Robbins area. Local resident Clark Mahaffey, a twelve year-old Landmark Christian student, landed the role of young Rich Mullins in the film. Clark is the son of Peachtree City orthodontist, Dr. Michael Mahaffey.
Tickets are on sale now at the theater box office and online at "http://www.ncgmovies.com/sharpsburg_peachtree_city" www.ncgmovies.com/sharpsburg_peachtree_city. Online purchasers will need to change the movie selection date to Jan. 27 from the drop down menu to find the film listed.
Mullins, known to many by his first name of Wayne, wrote and performed songs such as "Awesome God," "Sing Your Praise to the Lord," "Creed" and "The Color Green." Mullins released at least 10 albums between 1981 and his death at age 41 in an automobile accident in Illinois on Sept. 19, 1997. The Gospel Music Association nominated him for 12 Dove awards before posthumously naming him best artist in 1998.
David Mullins, Rich Mullins' younger brother, began his career as a minister and, after his brother's death, took on the leadership of a new ministry, The Legacy of A Kid Brother of St. Frank, which was formed by the musician's friends and family to continue his vision of sharing the love of Christ with Native Americans.
The film's title, "Ragamuffin," comes from the name of one of Mullins' singing groups, "A Ragamuffin Band." The band name was inspired by Brennan Manning's book, "The Ragamuffin Gospel."

I'm a generally cheery person. I enjoy sunshine, rainbows, and Lucky Charms. I also like puppies, and cookies. Happiness is fun, and sadness is not.
That's why I'm also often optimistic, even when such an emotion is senseless. But the more I read about Rob Gronkowski's forearm injury that required surgery earlier this morning, the more I'm finding it difficult to believe that he'll have any relevance in fantasy leagues again this year.
The timetable for his return has widely been pegged at four-to-six weeks, and if we stick with that cheery optimism bit, the low end of that has him back for Week 16, which is the championship week in most leagues. Even in that peachy scenario it's unlikely we'll see the true Gronk that week, especially if the Patriots have solid playoff footing by then.
But although there are subtle hints from sources out there in football blog land which nod to a shorter absence, Jene Bramel — a pediatrician and the injury expert over at Football Guys — says that while there's a chance we could see a quick return, he doubts Gronk plays meaningful football again during the regular season. He cited several recent examples, noting that history suggests six weeks is far more realistic:
While there are examples of NFL players who went on injured reserve much earlier in the season (safety Roy Williams in Week 7, 2008 and Paul Posluszny in Week 3 in 2007), there are multiple precedents for a return within six weeks. Posluszny was back in five weeks from his second forearm fracture in 2009, Chris Hope (6 weeks in 2011) and Jason McCourty (5 weeks in 2010) both returned within the six week timetable after surgery for forearm fractures. There's no way to know whether those injuries are comparable and I think history suggests six weeks is more likely than four. But there's a good chance we may see Gronkowski play before the NFL playoffs, but I would expect he'll be limited in both snap count and effectiveness.
As is the case with any major injury to a major player late in the season, it'll soon be time for those in re-draft leagues to face the reality Bramel is describing. Gronkowski most likely won't be a contributor for you throughout the rest of this season, and with every point and every win crucial for those jostling for a playoff berth, roster spots simply can't be wasted due to stubbornness.
If that describes you and you're not securely in a playoff position, hold on to Gronk for a few more days as projections surrounding his recovery become even more clear. But it's looking very much like the end is inevitable, and you'll have to move on and roster someone — anyone — who can contribute.
Martellus Bennett (available in 46 percent of ESPN leagues) is an immediate waiver claim candidate for the Gronk owner, as is Brandon Myers (86 percent available), the Raiders tight end who's averaging 55.4 receiving yards per game, and has three touchdowns over his last three games.
UPDATE: Gronkowski told NFL.com's Albert Breer that he wants to play in Week 14. Umm yeah, we're aware that Gronk is only about 20 percent human, but that's a stupid quick return, so we'll believe it when we have visual evidence. Again, for now hold tight and keep him stashed on your bench, and if/when it becomes clear his absence will be a longer one, move on.

Hi mate, your inbox is full
I've compiled 2 videos that cover the issues we've discussed re: version 0.6/0.7. Problems with radio staying on after exiting Roadrider has been fixed in 0.7.
Here are the links to both new videos - http://youtu.be/LQjyuRyFAlE
http://youtu.be/xELcCm13nIM - video 2
Could I suggest a different button layout for the next plug-in?
On/Off (toggle rather than 2x separate buttone)
scan left / scan right
RESCAN / SEARCH - as discussed in video
mute / reset
Your plug-in and 6th Logics demo software are the same as far as reception percentage - shows 60% volume when probably should be 100%.
BTW, I do yell a little in vid 2 - headphones are at high volume but my screen recorder doesn't pick up on that (although it probably sounds like the wife dropped a fork under the table)?

The video for Pissed Jeans' "Bathroom Laughter" is sort of an insomniac's dream. While most late night infomercial-viewing is pleasurable only for its soft glow from the box and the pseudo-camp factor of watching people shill absurd products, Pissed Jeans take it to another level here to disastrous results. To celebrate the release of their fourth album, Honeys, the band will be live-chatting on the YouTube page for this video from 12-12:30PM. Check out "Bathroom Laughter" below.
Honeys is out now on Sub Pop.

Hey Everyone,
I wanted to find out if anyone would interested in doing a Christmas Cacti cutting swap. I thought that this would be a great way for those of us who are interested, to swap cuttings of our favorite Christmas cacti and get some cuttings of some others to expand our collections. Anyone itnerested?? Andrew |
Follow-Up Postings:
OK Andrew, I will trade some of my Easter Cactus-Louise Sunrise. |
- Posted by keystonecrossroads Zone 5B (My Page) on Fri, Nov 5, 10 at 8:56
I'd love to do this, but given the weather in the north, any trades I make will have to wait until warmer weather in Spring for shipment. I have Caribbean Dancer, Beach Dancer, small rooted cuttings of Peaches & Cream, and Gold Charm. Possibly some varieties of S. xbuckleyi as well. |
I would be totally game for trading in the spring. I just posted this to the Houseplants forum: I'm hoping to trade holiday/Christmas/Thanksgiving and or easter cacti cuttings in early spring. If you have them, mark your colors well now. I'll have these available: Am looking for other types of yellows, whites with other markings, and pinks. (Am often game for any colors I don't have.) Would like to find one of the true Christmas cacti (these are all T-giving, and some have rebloomed sometimes in the spring), and a few easter cacti too. While they're blooming, mark 'em if you've got 'em. |
Will be interested in trading cuttings in the spring These are some i have that are named wilhave a few more later and am kust getting buds on some i don't have names for. will post pics later and put a link to those if that is ok. cliff stock #---cultivar------bloom color-------------------------------------------bloom time wa01-Ann-----------lavender&white,large flowers, early wb01- wc01-Claudia------brick-red late wd01Dark Eva----dark purple buds/opens lavender early wd02-Dark Marie--dark purple buds open to red--trailing early wk01-Kris Kringle----brite red-- upright growth early wl01-Lavender Beauty -large lavender/white wm01-Malindi-----purple buds,brite orange wn01-Naomi------lavender pink---upright growth early ws01-Sleigh Bells--red -cobia var-- late wt01-Thor Rit-----dark pink w/white center--trailing growth wt02-Thor Tina----pink--- trailing growth late ww01-White Christmas-----white-- early wx01-Xmas Charm--lavender/purple--upright growth wx02-Xmas Cheer---orange early wx03-Xmas Fantasy---orange--upright growth wx04-Xmas Flame--sport of gold charm,purple buds wy01-Yantra--magenta/purple-- upright early wz01-Zaraika-----------crimson red-- upright early |

While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) increases the number of Americans with health insurance, it does not guarantee that everyone will be covered. Prior to the Supreme Court decision to strike down the requirement that states expand Medicaid, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that 27 million people would remain uninsured by 2022 if the ACA were enacted. As a result of this decision, the CBO has revised that estimate to 30 million. A single payer system is a better way to cover everyone.

i was wondering what people are doing to store the game with all the expansions, including the PoD ones etc. I want to get something that will hold everything all in one spot.
Storage Solution
Posted 20 December 2013 - 10:20 AM
Posted 20 December 2013 - 12:09 PM
It's very difficult to find something that will hold EVERYTHING in 1 place, as you've got to have room for those big, bulky monsters. Personally, since I have all expansions, I keep all the game tiles, investigator figurines, manuals, and PoD setup cards in the base game box; all the monster figures in the Call of the Wild box, and then I use this container (or something very close to it) to store all the game cards, and a tacklebox that I got at Walmart to store all the game tokens and chits.
Edited by Musha Shukou, 20 December 2013 - 12:12 PM.
Posted 28 December 2013 - 08:54 AM
What I've done is: all the player items (the game board, since they do set up) the health tokens, the skill points, and the players (which I have all divided out into little ziplock baggies) are in the main box. I have all the monsters in my forbidden alchemy box. And then I have a tackle box with all the things I need to deal with as keeper. Top layer has all the cards and chits, the bottom layer has all the game scenarios (in baggies). It's been working pretty well so far.
Posted 29 January 2014 - 07:51 PM
I'm hoping for a big box version. And when I say big box, I mean "I want the base game and all the expansions in one box" type of big box!
Posted 16 October 2014 - 01:21 AM
I made this the day before we played our very first game (which was yesterday) and it helped me immensely as a keeper. No trouble finding cards or tokens, and packing up afterwards was also very easy.
Posted 03 November 2014 - 05:33 AM
There is a Universal Box from e-Raptor company, it fits for almost every games

There's room enough to store the 16 investigators and all the merged cards from the 2 expansions into the base game.
Specific cards, tiles and monsters for the 2 expansions are put aside in the Call of the Wild box.

Hey, are you a huge loser and have no friends to play beer pong with? A robot is here to help that situation out.
Bigger is always better, especially during a game of Jenga. It's just amazing no one got hurt.
You probably think of Monopoly as that excruciating board game you have to play with your family, unless your mom likes to make her nephews cry and it gets banned from the house (thanks, Mom!). It turns out it's not the Parker Bros.' fault that the game is so mind-numbingly dull -- it's yours. You've been playing it wrong all these years.
Sorry 'Monopoly' fans, you're going to have to say good-bye to one iconic game piece soon. According to a recent Facebook post, 'Monopoly' wants their fans to vote on which piece is their favorite. The item with the fewest votes will be kicked out of the game, 'American Idol'-style.
In the video Terry is wired up like a human lab experiment surrounded by a lot of musical instruments. He then begins to flex his cartoonish muscles firing off drums, keyboard sounds, and yes even flaming saxophones.

'The Darkest Hour' Review
A cool premise buried by a disappointing pretty much everything else.
It seems like every year we need to have a bad alien invasion movie in cinemas. Last year, we have the truly atrocious 'Skyline' in cinemas. This year, we get 'The Darkest Hour' which has invisible aliens attacking Moscow. And despite some cool ideas at its core, its limp storytelling that borrows from much better movies as well as zero character development makes for a disappointing film.
The film follows two young American entrepreneurs (Emily Hirsch, Max Minghella) who visit Moscow for a botched business deal and bump into two young American tourists (Rachael Taylor, Olivia Thirby) in a club for a fun night. But suddenly the lights go out and they realize that Moscow is being attacked by invisible aliens that comprise of a lethal force of energy which gives them the power to obliterate humans into dust without being seen. Stranded in a foreign city, the group struggles to survive and figure out the enemy while trying to find a way to reach back home.
While most alien invasion movies look trite and derivative right from the outset, 'The Darkest Hour' actually has two very unique hooks going in its favor. The first one is the aliens themselves – never has an alien invasion movie had aliens that cannot be seen. While it sound stupid when you first hear of it, it actually leads to some inventive death scenes. Since the aliens are made up of energy, the death involves the victims to just obliterate into dust rather than dying the traditional death. It's definitely a new spin on the genre and spices things up. The second is the fact that the film is set in Moscow, while most invasion movies are set in the US or more popular countries like Britain. The Moscow setting also ends up making the film feel unique. Sadly, that's the end of anything new that the movie has to offer.
There's a very limp and rote screenplay at the root here that doesn't even try to make anything more than a generic action thriller that never really feels different from the tons of movies that came before it. We start off with a brisk introduction to the characters just before the aliens attack and while their attack is intriguing to watch at first, the novelty of the new type of aliens wears off by the end of the first act. And that's where the film fails to offer anything else. It follows the same formula of every other survival thriller before it with a gang of survivors trying to find some safety. It's taken from much better films like '28 Days Later', 'I am Legend' and the likes. Think any movie of the sub-genre and 'The Darkest Hour' doesn't do anything much different. In fact, the screenplay here is much stupider. The very first thing that the characters decide to do in the wake of a deadly alien attack that wiped out Moscow is head halfway across the city in full view all the way to … the American Embassy. Didn't the first ten seconds of them venturing outdoors and seeing the entire city almost razed down hint them that the Embassy wouldn't be vulnerable to such an attack? Add to the fact that there is no aim to the plot here other than them walking around before they have to suddenly evade some aliens, before they start walking again. Soon enough, a very superficial objective arrives in terms of a submarine which makes absolutely no sense at all if you think about it. There are points where the characters are perfectly safe with people much more skilled than them, but insist that they cannot stay because this is not their home. Because of course, patriotism is the perfect reason to abandon safety and walk right into streets infested with invisible aliens determined to hunt you down.
Add to that the fact that the characters are unlikable and you never care about them at any point. The script takes zero initiative to give the characters any sort of personality or gives us a reason to care about them. They all sound the same and frankly are a bunch of hollow douchebags that aren't particularly the sharpest minds. So when some character deaths happen and the film expects you to get affected, the maximum that you do is look at how cool the death scene was rather than the fact that a character just died. Even the dialogue is corny to say the least, with examples like this: 'The team work makes the dream work'. Also, the film doesn't have a proper ending and it ends on the characters figuring out how to defeat the aliens rather than us actually seeing them do so. They never bother to tell you why the aliens attacked or what they really are. Because of course, that's all unimportant in the wake of how cool they look. Plus, the final scenes are definitely a set up for a sequel that is never going to be made.
Aside from that, there are a few decent scenes here and there that are always watchable. The movie is never outright terrible, which certainly shouldn't be a case for seeing it but that itself is sometimes too much to ask. The hide and seek sequences with the aliens are cool at first but become repetitive as they go on. Emily Hirsch is a good actor who keeps the film afloat even when his character is a stereotype rather than a human being. Some fun supporting characters pop into the film in the second half that keep things interesting, but never enough to compensate for the flaws in the film clearly. The 3-D, even though the film was shot in the format, was pretty disappointing and the movie looked fine without the glasses on. Another thing to note is how sloppy some of the direction is and sometimes the locations and angles look off even though the movie is supposedly shot on location. It has a lot of moments where you feel it's been done on green-screen.
'The Darkest Hour' is another disappointing entry to the alien invasion sub-genre which has now officially tired itself out unless something revolutionary arrives. Only someone starved for some junk-food basic thrills should look this way, but the weak screenplay and story here will probably still have you coming out unsatisfied.

I am planning on trying out hydroponics by growing vegetables, and I want to use a simple system such as a pot with media in it, and overflow holes drilled in it. From what I have read, I then manually re-fill the pot up to the overflow holes with the formula (mixed properly)...
This hopefully a decent, but simple and small system and of course inexpensive. My question is, what is a decent media to use? Also, what fertilizer is good? Any other thoughts are appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The simplest most reliable media is expanded clay pellets. All liquid nutrients I have tried work fine. |
Hi Cmate, I have used coarse sand as a hydroponics media for over 30 years. Sand is cheap; it does not degrade or change pH, and it can be washed if it ever gets dirty. Cheers, |

Hi, well, if you find that a 5 gallon bucket is the right size for you to use, then I would recommend that you consider making a simple bubbler or gurgle system. With this system, you need only keep the nutrient level and the proper nutrient mix to have good results. The roots of your plant will not survive in a bucket full of sand and water. You need to control the amount of moisture and it's oxygen content. That is what makes the bubbler system work so well. The idea is that the container holding the plant is positioned above the nutrient container. I used a 5 gal. pail with the lid on for the nutrient tank, and some used large yogurt containers sitting on the pail lid. A 3/8 inch tube extends up from the nutrient tank, up through the yogurt container (filled with the clay or sand, gravel, ect. to extend a couple inches above the level of the growing medium. Air from a cheap fish aquarium pump is fed into the 3/8 inch vertical tube at a point about 2 inches from the bottom using small aquarium air hose. Air flow is regulated using an aquarium air valve. All this stuff is very cheap. The air going into the vertical tube causes bubbles to rise up the tube, and depending on the amount of the air pressure, the bubbles push nutrients up the tube to the plant container. The nutrients filter down through the plant container and drain out the bottom through holes drilled for this purpose. the lid on the 5 gallon pail also has a lot of holes drilled in it so that the nutrients run back into the pail to be reused again. Well check out a picture of the one I used on the web page link below. Good luck. Look for the picture on the right side of an orange pail with cayenne peppers growing on it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: hydro stuff
expanded clay is good, but pea gravel, sand, or lava rock are all cheaper-more readily available alternatives. also rockwool is a new favorite of mine. |

The young people who participated in the county-sponsored training at Ukiah High School gave presentations about the issues that they are passionate about.
In these demonstrations - about the dangers of sugary drinks, about smoking, about nutrition and other topics - we saw thoughtful minds tackling important problems with dedicatation and heart.
These young people took their own experiences, learned from them, did their research and came up with quality arguments for their positions.
We think it's great that they are being given the tools to bring those concerns to elected officials and others in power around them.
One of the things they were advised that day is to remember that creating change is also about a "clear ask." In other words, don't just complain about what's wrong, figure out a solution to it and ask for it.
Good advice for us all.

Featured Question:
Question: What's the lowest ever total to be defended in Tests and ODIs?
Spider says: The lowest defended target is 85 by Australia (who dismissed England for 77) at The Oval in 1882. This was the famous match following which the Sporting Times carried a mock obituary notice which led to the birth of the Ashes.
The lowest total successfully defended in an ODI was Pakistan's 87 for 9 against India at Gujranwala in 1989/90 ? India scored only 80 in reply. However, this game had been reduced to 16 overs a side after bad weather delayed the start. The lowest total successfully defended in a ODI which was not truncated occurred when India protected 125 against Pakistan in 1984/85, bowling them out for 87.

Hands on
2013/01/15 in Uncategorized
A point in in time
Take a look at your hands.
What have they done?
The fingers have held
the flint
to make an arrowhead.
The hands poured iron into a mould
to make a sword, later a gun barrel.
They put together machinery
that ran on wheels
across the continents.
The hands fit together
thousands upon thousands of parts
to let you fly
high over the land.
You hit somebody with your hands,
you caressed with your fingers.
They can move gently
over strings
to make music that brings tears.
Your hands have been dirty,
you have cleaned your hands
many times.
Now you point with your finger
into the moving smoke of time.
You follow
your finger.

Design plagiarism?
I've been contracted to design an infographic surrounding Star Trek. In my infographic there are cartoon versions of Kirk and Spock, however I'm a little concerned. For you see, the company I have designed the infographic for really like the look of my 'cartoony' versions of the characters, but, after looking on visual.ly, I've found an Obama/Romney infographic, and the style of Obama and Romney is pretty much the same as mine. If I keep that look on my infographic, could I be done for plagiarism, or would it be classed as just a standard design?
http://visual.ly/what-obama-and-romney-voters That's the original, I shan't post mine as the company is hoping to use my infographic as part of an online campaign, and they don't want it live yet. |

One cannot copyright a style, only content. If your web page can be mistaken for their web page then you may have violated copyright. If it is only a similar style but with different content then there is no copyright violation.
This does extend to sub-parts of the page, for example if you lifted a cartoon on Romney, but you did not do that. |

So, even though my Star Trek characters are in the same style as Obama and Romney, it's okay if this were to get published online?

If general styles could be copyrighted, everyone, myself included, would be getting sued once a month. Like someone else said, I would be more worried about Star Trek than anything else. That's more of the client's concern, though.

I respectfully disagree. You cannot absolve yourself of legal responsibility just by saying "someone else told me to / someone else paid me to...". The courts do not work like that (unless you can prove you were coerced).
If you drew it, you infringed it. If a copyright lawyer comes after this project, both the artist and client will bear responsibility. Do you think your client will protect you? Pay for your damages? In my experience clients are pretty quick to throw designers under a bus. I am not a lawyer, but I have hired copyright lawyers to protect my intellectual property and won. These guys make $800/hr and, in my case, hit the other guy so hard his book publishing company had to declare bankruptcy. |

The bottom line is...dont worry too much. There might be a 1% chance of there being any repercussions from this. Just answer the brief and if anything negative comes then pull it or adapt it.

You probably have nothing to worry about but seriously, I wouldn't take legal advice from an internet forum. If you have concerns then speak to a lawyer. If you can't afford to then raise your concerns in writing with your client and make sure you have indemnity insurance.

You've made an infographics with star wars characters and are worried it may look too much like a list infographics with two faceless people? i wouldn't worry the slightest.
i think you will find plenty more examples of similar styled graphics if you do a search. |

It has to be damn close to be an issue. It's hard to protect a design. If you take text, a photo or an exact drawing, then you're screwed. But, an overall design has to be extremely close to even be considered a problem.

When you trade with someone and they mention on their trade page that they are slow due to a illness,how long do you think is sufficient time to wait before leaving a review.This trade goes back to Aug 26 ,27 08.Responds only occasionally to e-mails.Last e-mail a month ago said she was mailing the trade the next day and would e-mail to confirm that it was sent.I never heard from her again,nor received anything and mine was sent back when we arranged it.She only has a few reviews and they are good.By the way I have seen her posting recently.I'll try once again to e-mail her. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Email can be weird sometimes. Every so often you see a post "looking for Jane Doe", to get somebody's attention. Either they will see it or a friend will let them know you're looking for them. If you dont even get a response to that, Id say its ok to leave a non-accusatory "matter of fact" note on their review thread. You know, we agreed to xyz and I never received my part--please contact me. Then if you get it, you can always go back and say it was resolved.

Let me just say to anyone considering this amp, that if you are in a "rock" band (or any genre for that matter) where you will be competing with a drummer and a guitarist (possibly 2?) DO NOT EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO CUT THROUGH WITH THIS AMP.
This amp has caused me more heartache over the last couple of years than I care to remember. First of all, it has absolutely NO LOW END. This thing is all mids and, in fairness, some pretty nice highs. At an extremely low volume (like for instance ... in a store showroom) the overall tone is nice. You can't notice the fact that once you turn up above 3 or 4 that the lows strain and turn to "bluh" and that achieving a decent tone for the stage isnext to impossible.
Another thing ... This amp runs extremely hot (b/c of the aluminum casing) it also has an automatic shut-off feature that will cut the amplifier off if you run too hot or experience excessive clipping. This has happened countless times to me in practice and twice ON STAGE! Very embarrassing. i contacted someone from SWR and he told me I could roll back on the bass eq on my bass to prevent the amp from pushing so hard and boost the mid to compensate for my inability to cut through. Granted ... the advice helped, but the tone sucked! Why should you have to sacrifice your tone b/c your amplifier can't handle your eq???
I could literally go on forever about this amp, but let me just say in parting that:
1.) This amp (as are most of the amps in the SWR line) is EXTREMELY overpriced.
2.) I believe this amp to be overrated power-wise. It's the weakest 500 watts I've ever heard.
3.) Don't waste your time if you play in a band setting. Go Boogie, or Eden, or Ampeg.
4.) This amp would probably be good in acoustic settings ... but certainly not powerfl enough to measure up to your guitarist's Marshall or MESA stack.
5.) SWR on the other hand, does make very good cabinets. Their Goliath III is an excellent 4x10 with a tight-focused, punchy sound.
Avoid this over-priced headache at all cost.

Ideas for World MS Day 2014
Sophie Paterson
Posted on March 6th, 2014
There are loads of ways to celebrate World MS day. To give you some inspiration we've compiled a few examples of activities that took place on and around World MS Day 2013.
Raise awareness – One of the key aims of World MS Day is to raise awareness of MS amongst the general public. You might consider holding a public awareness day like Saudi Arabia did in 2013. Or you could hold lectures and give out fliers to the public, which is what happened in Tunisia. In South Korea they held a World MS Day quiz, while the MS Society in Mexico used their celebrity supporters to hold a press conference. The Italian MS Society held a photo exhibition in conjunction with with the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform.
Educate – World MS Day is also a great opportunity to bring together people with MS, their friends, families and carers in order to learn and share knowledge. You could hold a seminar as they did in Russia last year, or perhaps exercise classes, like the yoga sessions in Malaysia.
Campaign – World MS Day is a great opportunity to campaign on the issues that affect you and your community. Take inspiration from this year's theme of access and ask decision makers to help make life easier for people with MS where you live. Set up a petition, arrange meetings, or organise a gathering of people to get your message out there.
Fundraise – Walk, bike, swim, sing, knit, cook, read, dance – there are so many ways to fundraise and World MS Day is a great time to ask people to donate to a cause that's close to your heart.
Work together – Many access issues that are faced by people with MS are shared with other conditions/disabilities – group together to make your voice louder! See if you can get other interest groups to join the campaign to break down barriers on world MS day. Globally 1 in 7 people experience a disability, show how improving access would improve a billion lives.
Get creative- You could ask people to collaborate to paint a mural, or record a song like in China last year, use your imagination! Just remember to take lots of photos and share them with your networks.
Celebrate – World MS Day is also a good day to celebrate the work of your organisation, the support from your community or the people who make life with MS easier. You could host a family day like in Belgium, or perhaps live music and food like in Brazil.
Whatever you decide to do for World MS Day this year make sure you share your plans with the team at MSIF beforehand and send us your pictures afterwards, so we can share your hard work with the rest of the global MS movement.

Greenwich + Docklands International Festival 2012
June 20, 2012 by Greenwich.co.uk
Comments Off
NINE DAYS of mostly-free spectacular sights and sounds kick off tomorrow with the Greenwich + Docklands International Festival (GDIF).
St Alfege Park, the National Maritime Museum, the Borough Halls, the Old Royal Naval College and West Parkside on the peninsula are among the backdrops for the vibrant collection of performance pieces.
One of the most spectacular shows to look out for is Prometheus Awakes on Friday night at the National Maritime Museum. A fiery interpretation of the Greek myth is promised by La Fura dels Baus and disabled-led theatre company, Graeae.
Originally banned in the 19th century and revived at last year's GDIF, the Greenwich Fair will again take place this weekend, promising a packed programme of street art around the town centre. Look out for a 'The Man Who Lost His Buttons' - a Catalan performance atop a swinging pole - in Cutty Sark Gardens and a demonstration of acrobatics and dance from female street dance company Mimbre with 'Falling Up'

Parties and celebrations planned as Greenwich celebrates royal jubilee
June 1, 2012 by Rob Powell
Comments Off
Union flags hanging from rafters of Greenwich Market
Picnics, parties and pageants are in store as Greenwich readies itself for a four day weekend.
Things get started with the Lovely Jubbly Picnic in East Greenwich Pleasaunce on Saturday (2nd June) where there will be live music, circus performers, rum punch and lots more. The ParksFest event, held in association with The Friends of East Greenwich Pleasaunce, runs from 12pm - 5pm, so head down tomorrow afternoon with your picnic blanket and sandwiches.
Across the borough in Plumstead, the annual Make Merry makes a welcome return after its absence last year. New mayor of Royal Greenwich, Cllr David Grant, will officially open the Make Merry and then there's a packed afternoon of events and entertainment lasting until 6pm.
The spotlight moves to Greenwich's Old Royal Naval College on Sunday where the Big Jubilee Lunch will take place between 12pm and 5pm. A lunch table two thirds of a mile long - the longest ever, say organisers - will be set up and there will be live entertainment and activities.
You will also be in a perfect spot to see much of the Diamond Jubilee River Pageant. The flotilla's official route ends at Tower Bridge but the majority of boats taking will carry on past Greenwich and the specially commissioned Royal row barge, Gloriana, will dock at Greenwich Pier.
Over in Eltham at Well Hall Pleasaunce, the Jubilee Sunday Fayre, will take place between 10am - 5pm with donkey rides, Punch and Judy and a soul choir among the attractions on offer.
Street parties, such as the one in Eastney Street, Greenwich, will be happening across the borough over the weekend - the council has approved sixty of them.
Four beacons will be lit on Monday evening across the borough as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Beacons. With the help of local scouts and cadets, beacons will be lit at Cutty Sark Gardens and the O2 in SE10, and also at General Gordon Square and Eaglesfield Park.
If you're out with your camera over the Jubilee weekend, please feel free to share any photos to be included in our Daily Photo section next week. Email them to email@example.com
East Greenwich Community Festivals
May 11, 2012 by Greenwich.co.uk
A JUBILEE picnic, a 1948 style fete and a dog show are just some of the events taking place in East Greenwich this summer.
To mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the staging of the Olympic games in London, a series of events have been designed to bring the community together.
The first event of the East Greenwich Community Festivals events is a Jubilee Picnic in East Greenwich Pleasaunce on June 2nd. Then a special welcome is being organised for the Olympic Torch Relay as it travels down Woolwich Road on Saturday July 21st.
The main event comes in August when there will be a two-day 1948 fete in the pleasaunce where there will be music, food and drink, baking competitions, the dog show and lots more.
To help bring it all together, the organisers are looking for performers, craftmakers, cooks and artists as well as businesses who might want to hire a stall or make a donation.
To get involved, you can sign up here or get more information from Pistachios in East Greenwich Pleasaunce or the Greenwich Communication Centre on Trafalgar Road.

"But since then Marketa and I have walked somewhere else and we're in different parts of our lives now. It's great to revisit this because it was the pivotal moment of my life, the biggest so far, so I can only really see it as a blessed project."
But success, even at Hansard's level, doesn't give you a magic cloak, he reminds you. In fact it might take a few chinks out of your armor.
"I just find the whole idea of celebrity so…" He pauses and looks up at the walls, which are literally covered in the caricatures of hundreds of world famous stars.
"We're living in an age now where the falsity of celebrity is so clear. It seems clearer than it's ever been. There's a big line between being a celebrity and an artist."
Hansard's enjoyment working with the cast of Once before it steps out on Broadway is obvious. Since they're all musicians as well as performers he developed an easy shorthand with them that you can see in action when they talk together.
"I can sit back and watch it this and go, 'Jesus, this is really good.' They play all the music themselves, everyone in the cast plays, and speaking as an Irishman I think if you can go into a room full of strangers and sing and have a really good time doing it, then that's where you can look around and say this is in the right hands."
Hansard says he very much thinks of himself as an Irish performer.
"I started playing music on the street in Dublin and that's where I learned my voice needs to hit the wall and reflect back to me, otherwise I'm not being heard. So now when I walk into these amazing rooms like Carnegie Hall, what more exciting opportunity will I have than to fill a room the size of that?"
Irglova, 23, the charismatic other part of the successful pairing, is as sincere and straightforward in the flesh as she is in the film (and the documentary about the film, The Swell Season).
The Czech Republic native agrees with Hansard that the show is in good hands.
"We created it and sent it out into the world and people have adapted it and made it part of their own lives," Irglova, who currently lives in Brooklyn, tells the Irish Voice.
"That's what keeps it living through all its incarnations. They've made it their own in a wonderful way. Glen and I are now in the position of supporting it along its way."

Damian McGinty excited for Derry's City of Culture celebrations in 2013
The Swell Season, both the band and the film, grew out of the budding relationship between Hansard and Irglova, which began on the set of Once, leading to an offscreen romance, an album, then a tour and ultimately to painful interpersonal conflicts (the two remain close friends after the breakup, and Irglova married last year).
In the documentary it became clear that Irgolva wanted to step out from under the paternalistic shadow of her mentor Hansard and find her own voice.
It was not, she made clear, a dismissal of his influence or some kind of narcissistic desire to hog the spotlight herself, it was just a young girl asking for room to step into herself. Just like she does in the film.
"I'm glad that you noticed it wasn't some kind of attention seeking thing. I just wanted to step out and set my own terms and grow up a bit, you know?" she says.
"Now I can see Once for what it was and what it's becoming to this new cast. And I really like what I see. My advice is to wipe the slate clean of what you think you know from the film. This is something new and it's magic."
Once will open in previews at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater on February 28 and open officially on March 18. For tickets call 212-239-6200.

Ok, I got this cookbook and I just gotta tell people about it!
It's called "How it All Vegan" (pronounce it like 'began'), and it is so wonderful! It's by these two girls, Sarah Kramer and Tanya Barnard, and the book has all this neato information on what vegan bodies need, and what products are made from animals and lots of recipes, not just for food, but cleaning solutions and pet treats. I love my new cook book, I think everyone should have this! LOL Ok, I'm done, later! Tym |

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 630 - 01 February, 2007 Written Answers. - Defence Forces Equipment. Mr. Curran Mr. Curran Mr. Curran asked the Minister for Defence the changes made to the clothing, equipment, personal body armour and protective gear made available to individual members of the Defence Forces over the past few years; the way the equipment compares with that available to troops in other armies across the EU. [2793/07] Mr. O'Dea Mr. ODea Mr. O'Dea: The acquisition of new equipment for the Defence Forces continues to be a key focus for me as Minister for Defence. Significant investment has taken place in recent years throughout all facets of the Defence Forces and I will continue the good work in that regard. In recent years a particular focus of the investment has been on equipment for the individual soldier. In this regard the introduction of the DPM Uniform with the provision of a full outfit of matching clothing for the individual soldier was a significant milestone for the Defence Forces. The introduction of these new uniforms has proved both practical and economical and has been an asset to the Defence Forces in their many operations. In addition significant work has been carried out in recent years on the acquisition of an Integrated Protection and Load Carrying System for individual soldiers. This system includes Body Armour, Helmets, Back Packs (Rucksacks) and Battle Vests. The position with regard to the acquisition of these items is as follows: 8000 units of body armour for the individual soldier on operational duties have been delivered. The new body armour provides significantly greater protection, comfort and coverage than the old model as well as a doubling of the range of sizes available. The total value of the order was in the region of €8m. 12,000 helmets have been delivered. The value of the order was circa. €2.5m. 12,000 rucksacks have been ordered at a total cost of €3m, delivery will take place in 2007. 1351 To complete the modern integrated protection and load carrying system, one other [1351] competition is currently in train for the acquisition of 12,000 Battle Vests used for the carriage by the individual soldier of essential items such as ammunition, personal radio, water and ancillary equipment. An order will be placed later this year for these items. The personal equipment which the individual soldier in the Defence Forces has at his/her disposal for operational use both at home and overseas is second to none and compares very favourably with the equipment in use by other Countries. I will continue the ongoing investment in equipment for the Army, Air Corps and Naval Service to ensure that the most modern and up to date equipment is available for Defence Force's personnel.

Quoted from TypeOSecretor Salt & LifeSalt is necessary matter for the human body. It is because salt exist in the body liquid, and has the important role of maintaining osmotic pressure. Human blood contains 0.9 % salt. If the salt is not enough in your body, then, you body doesn't make enough digestive fluid, so it decreases your appetite. In the short-term, because your body doesn't make enough digestive fluid, it decreases your appetite, but in the long-term, it will cause no-energy, fatigue, tiredness and anxiety in your body. If you lose salt suddenly by sweating a lot, you can loose physical and mental functions such as feeling dizziness, disinterest, unconsciousness and listlessness. The amount of salt your body needs depends on the amount of labor you perform and the weather, however, a normal adult needs 123g salt a day. If you eat too much salt, it can cause high blood pressure. This is because when the salt concentration is increased in your body, more water comes into your blood to maintain balanced concentration rate. Some people say if you eat too much salt, it can cause stomach cancer. http://www.invil.org/english/tourism/themeTour/beach/contents.jsp?con_no=377406&page_no=1
Quoted from TypeOSecretor I will keep looking. In the meantime, this quote from the Internet carries the thought.
Quoted from jillthepilllady Check ingredients on Salt containers. The ones I've looked at with Iodine also have corn starch added to prevent caking since the Iodine has moisture to it.
Quoted from Arlene I use Himalayan Crystal salt which is course and has 84 natural elements including iodine. I also use Trader Joes Mediterranean Sea Salt which has fine crystals. The only ingredient is salt, but the label mentions after drying in the sun the water is evaporated maximizing magnesium and iodide content.
Quoted from TypeOSecretor I thought that trace amounts of natural minerals in a salt were beneficial.
Quoted from Victoria Yes, they are. Did someone say something to make you think the trace minerals are not good for us?
Quoted from Schluggell Sun-Dried Sea Salt is very important - As these will be Hygroscopic.Be very wary of any "Sundried" that is Pure White - as it probably is not.I'll refrain from mentioning brands here.The way to tell: Mix a spoonful of salt into a glass of water. If the crystals settle back out you know that it has been dried at too high of heat {Kiln-dried}.This changes the molecular structure of the crystal itself {Tempering} which makes it essentially a sand...Seawater has in it dissolved all of the minerals {H2O is the solvent of the world}Issues come into play now, as oceans are polluted - And I have yet to try the Himalayan myself.Celtic/Brittany salts or the Algarve Salts of Portugal are good - As the Crystals look moist {Hygroscopic}. Another salt that can do this is Dead Sea Salt.We are built from water - not rocks.
Quoted from LISALEA I can't seem to find these salts here anywhere in the stores that I've been ... any recommendations in Canada on the above salts that u do recommend ? Thanks
Quoted from Schluggell Personally I don't advocate Redmond's RealSalt for internal consumption - as it is not Sun-Dried.
Quoted from outdoordrea ...how they do dry it, then,..
Quoted from pkarmeier Most of these salts can be purchased online, if that helps.
Quoted from Schluggell Its been buried under pressure for eons - In other words it is mined.Like the Himalayan. .

HOUSTON (CNN) -- Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti was involved in a serious crash that hurt 13 spectators during Sunday's Grand Prix of Houston, authorities reported.
The wreck occurred in the last lap of the race, when Japanese driver Takuma Sato bumped Franchitti's car, sending it airborne into the protective fencing. The car spun multiple times against the fence, sending shards of debris flying toward the grandstands and shearing off part of its side.
Two of the 13 spectators injured were sent to local hospitals, while the rest were treated at the scene, according to Senior Capt. Ruy Lozano of the Houston Fire Department.
Franchitti, who's 40, appeared to be moving after the wreck, but his condition was not immediately known. Team owner Chip Ganassi told NBC Sports, which aired the race, that Franchitti was sore, but awake and alert.
The Scotland native won Indycar racing's top prize in 2012, 2010 and 2007. He was married to actress Ashley Judd for more than 11 years, but the couple announced they were ending their marriage in January.
