She is part of more than one band, here and in Austin, TX… and guess who kept the books while on tour! |

Up there, she created a committee that acted as a liaison between organic farmers and the collectively run food coop where she worked. She also lived and worked at many organic farms in the NW. You could say she is an advocate for organic farming; you reap what you sow, right? Monica also loves the arts, from sewing and fiber arts, to using reclaimed materials, painting, print making and lino printing, and she has even taught drawing classes. If that's not enough awesome, Monica can curl her tongue and she's a great listener! |

Spiritual growth and healing ministry have been part of my life for over 40 years, a journey that has enriched, challenged, blessed, and transformed me—and the journey continues.
Check out my newest book, Quests: Travel Stories of Seeking and Finding, a memoir of European adventures when I was in my mid-twenties. Schnapsy, my indomitable VW, went with me everywhere. Eight years after my return, I set forth on an even grander adventure—an inward one.
Jesus said he came to bring us "fullness of life" (John 10:10). I have created this website in order to share life-giving resources that focus on healing, inspiration and growth. Some come from me as a writer, speaker, and retreat leader. Others are links you may find helpful.
I pray that this website will:
- Lead you to experience God meeting you in your need—physical, emotional, spiritual, relational.
- Inspire you through the articles, presentations, and books I have authored.
- Enable you to learn more about prayer and healing.
- Help you grow and heal.
- Show you helpful prayer sites and other life-giving resources.
Lord, send forth your Spirit and renew the face of the earth. (Psalm 104:30)

I expect to mainly use my prep sink for washing fruits, veggies, rinsing prep tools and dishes before they go I to the dish washer. No meat will be handled here. Do I need a soap dispenser? The faucet will need 2 holes (kohler karbon) and I need a hole for the filtered water faucet. I have not had a prep sink before so I am not 100% sure about what makes sense here. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, for sure you'll want hand soap at your prep sink. |
Yes, for sure you'll want hand soap at your prep sink. |
OMG, yes! That's where the gucky stuff is and where I wash my hands the most -- after handling meat, eggs, doughs, the dogs dishes, etc. and sometimes washing a dish or pan I need to reuse quickly. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Mon, Nov 5, 12 at 0:42
Absolutely!! I use the soap dispenser at my prep sink many more times a day than at my cleanup sink. I do all my cooking (prep and putting fire to food) either directly next to or directly across from the sink. I do everything there except clean-up. Crack an egg? Hands get raw egg on them most times. Wash at prep sink. Mixing up the sour cream and scallions? Oops. Got some on my fingers. Wash at prep sink. Etc. You get the idea. Will you not handle meat there because you are vegetarian/vegan, or because you will do that chore at the cleanup sink? |
Ok.. I get the picture:) The anti-holes monster clouded my senses there for a bit...Any suggestions for a soap dispenser that will look OK with the kohler karbon? Breezy- vegetarian.. but we eat dairy and eggs. So I can do hand soap in the prep sink and dish soap at the cleanup sink. |

I found this old thread of a Karbon with soap dispenser. It looks an awful lot like my Elkay. You definitely need something with uber clean lines. |

Hi breezy, Thanks so much for digging this up. That is the only picture that came up for me as well.. All the other OTF installs don't seem to have soap.. Lalitha |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Mon, Nov 5, 12 at 4:16
Mine are the Elkay Gourmet linked below. Hole is on the bottom, just behind the tip. I remember I had to ask DH to read the specific directions on the NeverMt for the Elkay when he couldn't get it installed correctly. Once he did, it was easy. :) |

Use Dawn for both cleanup and prep sink soap. It's fine for hands, sanitizes, and will wash either dishes, veggies, or hands without you having to think about which it is you need. |
You will be surprised how often you actually wash a few dishes in your prep sink (especially if someone else is working at the cleanup sink.) And as Breezy said, you'll do a quick hand wash/rinse there many times as you work. As live wire oak suggested, keep a mild dish soap in the prep sink dispenser (equipped with a Never MT thanks to GW) and use it to wash hands as well as stray dishes. For me, a dispenser is even more important here than at the clean up sink, partly because I REALLY don't want a bottle of soap sitting out on the work counter. Unfortunate, perhaps, that you will need so many holes there, but don't omit this one. I don't think it will look too crowded if you keep things symmetrical and clean-lined. |
I have a forest of holes adjacent to my prep sink, and my kitchen has a different look than you are going after, but I really wouldn't want to give up any of them. The prep sink gets used more than the clean up sink, and has instant hot, soap dispenser, faucet with deck mounted handle, air switch and Mockett (electrical). It is jammed into too little space but works well, for vegies, clean up, hand washing, tea/pasta etc. Don't compromise on the things you need to make the work space work better, even if you have some qualms about the look. It will be worth figuring this out :) |
I don't have soap at the prep sink, and wish I did! I also use skin-friendly liquid dish soap in our dispenser, so it works for hands or dishes. |
Claybabe- thanks for the encouragement to stay focused on the function. I often worry that I am too function over form focused and my kitchen is going to end up looking very hodge podge. breezy - thanks for the elkay link. I just ordered 4 of them to use in the kitchen and the baths.. Sinks in my house shall be NeverMT of soap! |

Blog post by Hunter Heaney- Founder of The Voice Project.
Please visit The Voice Project site and show your support. http://voiceproject.org
Please follow Voice Project on Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/voiceproject and on
In a lot of ways, our part in The Voice Project started with this song and a little video clip of a phone call. In 2008 I'd been working at an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp on Uganda/Sudan border. I was meeting with a number of Women's groups, widows, rape survivors and former abductees who had banded together to care for each other and those orphaned by the war. Often children abducted and forced to fight in Joseph Kony's LRA would escape, but be afraid to return home because of the awful things they were made to do, and the women were using songs to carry the message to those hiding in the bush that they were forgiven and should come home. After the women had taught me some of their songs, they asked me to teach them some, and Joe's song "Suitcase" was the very first that came to mind. If you know the lyrics maybe it's obvious why, but it's a song I had loved for a long time and meeting with the women, listening to them sing their songs and talk of what they were singing about, in some ways Joe's song took on a new meaning for me…but I wouldn't say a "whole new meaning" as the essence of it always was, to me, a quiet comforting, un-judging compassion in a private whisper, and it's intimacy it's universality. To me it was ultimate compassion for another human being.
Gulu Women's Choir » Joe Purdy from The Voice Project on Vimeo.
The women loved the song, and 9 months later when Nicole went
back to meet with a group in Gulu, to tell them of the progress
we'd been making on their behalf…it was a Sunday morning in
Brooklyn when and I got a call, whole lot of numbers on the caller
ID, I picked up and it was just "hold on a sec…" and then a chorus
of the most beautiful voices singing that song as a "thank you."
One of the most beautiful moments you could imagine, captured on
that little video clip, unbelievable. But also, the women there
once again showing us the way, a message delivered through song,
and that's really how we got the idea for The Voice Project. A few
months later, one of my Co-Founders, Chris Holmes and I saw Joe at
a wedding and we showed him the video. It was an unbelievable
moment showing that to him, for all of us, and one of the first
things Joe said was, "Whatever you need, the answer is forever
yes." It's the essence of the project and what the women are doing,
but also of Joe and what he's all about, not just as a musician but
as a human being. We got the idea of keeping going what the women
had started, having artists pass along the message of what was
going on over there in song by covering another's music. We met up
with Joe when he was in LA to play three sold out shows at the
Hotel Cafe and shot this heartfelt version of REM's "Swan Swan H",
and a few hours later he said this about the women from the
"They're trying to do everything they can to help these women
who are trying to help themselves - they've got their husbands and
their sons, they've had them taken away from them and forced into
doing unspeakable acts in war. And these sons and husbands, they're
ashamed of what they've done and they think they can't come home.
These women, they've been singing to them, they've been making
tapes and they've been sending them out into the field to let'em
know that they're forgiven, that they need'em. We found out that
maybe we could help by singin too. We're going to raise our voices
to try and help them, and if you can, before you leave to tonight,
maybe ask somebody and find out what you can do to spread the word
and help these beautiful, beautiful people."
And so we began…

Where Do Residents Rights End? Long, Sorry. - page 3
I've got issues at work. I work in an Assisted Living facility, in a secure Alzheimers/Demetia unit. One particular resident refuses to bathe. He's not oriented to time, or place. He stinks, none of... Read More
0Feb 25, '05 by Cheez-It!Do you think that, even though he has alzhemiers (spelling dodgy) he still has the ability to know what's going on and play "games" with you all? Once you back off nagging him, it stops becoming a "game" and he will eventually comply of his own accord. It may not be to your standards, but who's judging? Its a thought anyway.
If he refuses to bath, he is not going to becaome seriously ill becasue of it... its unpleasant for those around him. All you can do is employ all your poweres of persuasion and or try other alternatives as others have suggested. I'm not sure there is anything else you can do. You are not going to get 10 nurses (as someone else suggested - not maliciously I might add) and force him into the shower are you? Let him remain unclean... the other residents might object so much that they start to leave, then the administration will have to do something!
As far as becoming seriously ill, I doubt that also. But what about skin health, and his UTI's? I just recieved yet another order last night to do another UA. This makes the third UTI in the past 3 months. The man won't get up out of bed but for, on an average, I would venture to say five to six hours a day. The rest of the time he lays in bed. I see ulcers in someone's future ....... -
0Feb 25, '05 by Angie O'Plasty, RNDefinitely sounds like a psych issue. Can you get him a psych consult?
0Feb 25, '05 by LPN,RNNowMaybe someone is thinking that he is acting out like this because of a UTI. Has he ever had a follow up UA to confirm clearing of the bacteria? Just a thought. Otherwise I agree with Nurse Ratched that he has gone beyond the scope of Assisted Living. Is there a social worker at your facility? She surely would notice and be able to deal with this. What about the residents that complain about him, maybe give them admin's phone number. If they threaten to leave loss of more money. Good luck. It is very tough.
0Feb 25, '05 by DidiRN GuideNot bathing a patient properly would be considered neglect in this country and would have very serious repercussions. Not only lawsuits but the facility could get in a heap of trouble too.
This thread really concerns me...I have a mother with dementia who has deteriorated to a degree that she is just about ready to be placed, and a few months back or so I had posted a question about how does a dementia assisted living work. I have not worked in one, but had wondered how on earth could someone be safely watched in this condition in an assisted living environment. I could see if they were in the very early stages of it, but I kind of wondered how bad do they have to get before they are moved to a LTC. I just recently talked with a DON from an LTC who had told me she did not believe that dementia/alzheimer patients were appropriate for assisted living, period. I really can't give an opinion since I don't work in LTC or AL, but it definitely concerned me, at least for my own mother's sake.
Quote from PamUKI would like to repsond to the original posting
I'm not sure of the laws in the States, but doubt they are much different to the UK. If someone is not competent to consent to any kind of care and does not cooperate with you, you can only do what is necessary, in their "best interests". Clearly, toilet rolls stuffed down his pants that cause UTI's, must be removed. If he refuses to bath, he is not going to becaome seriously ill becasue of it... its unpleasant for those around him. All you can do is employ all your poweres of persuasion and or try other alternatives as others have suggested. I'm not sure there is anything else you can do. You are not going to get 10 nurses (as someone else suggested - not maliciously I might add) and force him into the shower are you? Let him remain unclean... the other residents might object so much that they start to leave, then the administration will have to do something!
0Feb 25, '05 by LPN,RNNowI am currently doing clinicals in a LTC that is mental health only. It is interesting to say the least. For a high functioning dementia or early stages my Grandmother did assisted living. But she had a great place. It was one floor. The residents only had a room, with a bathroom. They all ate in a main dining area, so there were no concerns reguarding leaving the stove on or such. They did have their own furniture. It was wonderful. Once she started having to have assistance changing herself, and taking showers, they moved her to their LTC. Unfortunately that really messed her up. She passed shortly after. Instead of a gradual move (they were connected) they just up and moved her over there, and it was just too traumatic for her. In a regular LTC facility though the nurses get really frustrated with the wanderers. It was hard to keep them in, and when they did manage to get out it was hard getting them back in. I really hope you are able to find a good place for your Mother.
0Feb 25, '05 by Blackcat99When I worked at an assisted living facility it had people who definately did not belong at that facility. Some of the residents needed to be in LTC. One of the male patients had dementia and beat up on staff on a regular basis. When I questioned why these people were at the assisted living facility I was told that they were "private pay patients." :angryfire It seems that if a patient is "private pay" they can do whatever they damn well please. :angryfire
0Feb 25, '05 by happtheartsOK I had a mental health Pt in a rehab hospitial and we called the Odbudsman and they stated a Pt could refuse to bath up to 30 days then it becomes a health issue .On Day 30 .We said we needed to see him a minute in the bath-room .We had every thing prepared clothes soap wash cloths towels warm room.
He could sit in the hydro tub and soak feel the water to make sure it was warm enough ,wash his hair and we would keep the room very warm. Ours had not changed his clothes for 30 days litteraly. That the Odbudsman had been nofited .This is not a choice anymore its a health issue. So why we had his dirty clothes off we took the dirty ones .It litterally took 30 mintues of soaking in the bath to get the crude off .Then of course he was willing to shave and shuch.
The next few baths we just had everyhing ready to go and then said we need you to step inside this room for a minute Can you follow me.Then once in the bath-room We would tell him we have everything ready, we really need you to bath. Didn't give him time to think about it. So he wouldn't refuse.
Just try to prep every thing ahead of time before he has time to think.
Good luck Check your Odbusman regarding this in Assisted Living situations. -
0Feb 25, '05 by steelcityrnThese asst living homes are really getting out of hand. It used to be that a requirment for a patient to live in one of these is they had to be able to ambulate to the nearest door in case of a emergency....WHAT A JOKE!!! these folks need skilled care. But, when it comes to making promises and taking the ppl's money, they are nothing but crooks. I have been in some decent ones, but the bad ones just seem to be unforgetable
0Feb 25, '05 by Cheez-It!Currently, our guidlines for acceptance into our facility are that they must be able to "get around" by either w/c or ambulation or only x1 assist. Right now, most of our residents are high functioning Alzheimers/Demntia residents. Which is what assisted living was intended for. But, in order to please families, make money, etc etc, they just take whoever can walk, not thinking about the psych adjustments that may need adjusted/changed.
I'm currently thinking of changing jobs. May have a job in a psych facility where I know these things do not happen. Job maybe harder, but anything to get out of that huge liability. Atleast until I finish school.
It's really a shame. It's a great facility, and could be one of the best in the state as far as I'm concerned. But from where it's heading now ...

Dental-Implants-01.com |
Dental Implants vs BridgesWhen you have a single missing tooth there are two options to replace it, either a single dental implant or a three unit bridge. Although a dental bridge continues to be the more common approach, many dentists ask their patients to consider the option of a dental implant because of its advantages versus a traditional dental bridge. Dental Implant Crown or a Three-Unit Bridge? - Compare the costs
What is important when comparing the cost of a dental implant vs. a 3-unit bridge is to estimate how long each will last. Dental implants on healthy jawbone can last for a life time if the patient follows careful oral hygiene. For our calculation let's assume an average dental implant lifetime of only 20 yrs. Assuming that you had selected the 3-unit bridge, the following are very possible to happen:
This analysis demonstrates that in the long term the patient not only ends up to pay more for the initial bridge and its replacement versus the one time cost for the dental implant, but also has increased risk of loosing more teeth and worsened dental health. However if a patient is not a good candidate for dental implants e.g. smokers then due to the increased risk of failure in smokers, a dental bridge may be a better alternative versus dental implants if cost effectiveness is the first priority.

Hungry? Be Fed at The Commonwealth Club
Just as I think I'm ready to move on from my own drama, embrace new work, and look down the road to summer, the publication of my forthcoming book, Plum Gorgeous: Recipes and Tales from the Orchard, and my daughter's high school graduation (and what that means for her, as well as me), My Nepenthe has a way of drawing me back in to the fold, caressing memories I had forgotten or relegated to the back burners of my mind.
Since January, I've wracked up some serious book mileage, from Berkeley to Carmel, and south to Santa Barbara for events, where I was well feted, fed, and cared for. At each there is always someone that tells me a story about their Nepenthe that brightens my day, whether it's happily landing there after driving through a harried storm on their first visit to Big Sur only to discover a fog shrouded paradise, or dancing all night under the stars on the terrace back in the day, to –get this–"I think we are related."
And naturally, a longer, more winded story about family, and my grandfather's Fassett family roots in Elmira, New York unfold. That story had to be pursued, at a Monday night dinner, soon after, at the esteemed Bay Wolf restaurant in Oakland, whose owner, I may be related to, via a marriage and two kids. You can see where this is going.
And yet, this is how it goes.
That is, the layers of connectedness that is Nepenthe, and that is also writing, putting yourself out there, making new friends, and discovering the power of food and words to tell a story and draw us in. And so, the grand theatre of My Nepenthe, of food, family, and gathering around the table, continues, this time at San Francisco's venerable Commonwealth Club. I'll be speaking along with fellow authors who craft their own delicious stories with food at the centerpiece.
Join us.

We have another vet as a member. She lives in FL.
That is a funny (but awkward) story. That is a lot of cash for 2 days and 1 night. THanks for sharing.
Well, I'm a veterinarian, and in talking with a client today about her upcoming trip to WDW with her dog I should'a kept quiet. I asked where she was staying - Polynesian. I had just looked at the prices for all the resorts for my upcoming trip and knew the high-end suites are up to $3000. I humorously commented about how much the "really fancy people" spend. Well, she luckily was very polite, and stated that that's what she's paying. She's expecting about $3800 total for a 2-day/1-night Disney visit.
The dog's staying at the TTC kennel for only $40. I would think for $3000 they would let a little 12# dog stay in a Polynesian suite too!
Oh well. With a vacation club I'm in, I did find a beautiful resort just off property for ~$690 for a full week. I think I'll stay there, thank you.

When we go we pay that or a little bit more for the WHOLE week!
Adam ~ A Proud D23 Charter Member!
We have friends that book a huge suite at the GF annually. They own several McDonald's in N. IL. The convention for McDonalds is, or was held at the Contemporary.
I've never taken my dog to WDW. We have a spa of a kennel up here and they all have their own indoor out door runs, cushy bed, piped in music, ice cream (not really ice cream) breaks and a doggy playground with a swimming pool. My dogs have their vacation, we have ours.
Oddly though, the on sight hotels at Universal have Pet wings, your pets get to stay with you. When we stayed at the Portifino (we were on a convention) I was surprised to see the dogs, and then them in their exercise area.
For only $40, I may have to look at staying at the kennel.
I'll stay with my $82 a night stay at Pop...at least while I'm a broke college student. Maybe a moderate resort when I'm a broke adult trying to pay off his student loans
Disney World is not just a place, but an experience.
Back in the world for the 2013 Marathon Weekend!
You're lucky her dog didn't bite you!
And here I thought this client always acted frugally in our offce - always accepted our recommendations, but always asked for pricing, etc... Must have a stash of cash under the mattress just for Walt.
I've never put that much excitement into paying for fancy lodging - heck, I'm just sleeping. And especially after a Disney-day, I'm usually comatose. Give me a clean bed and I'll be happy!
by being frugal at your office is probably how she can afford to spend that at WDW
WDWRadio Moderator
Wowza that's a lot for the Poly. It's nice (stayed there many years ago) but not that nice. We've stayed at the GF concierge and I know it wasn't nearly that much but than it wasn't a villa.
I agree, it's just a place to crash after the parks.
She'll have to pay a bit more for the kennel extras but it sounds like it won't make a dent in her wallet. I looked into the kennel once when DS was bringing his dog up from Tampa and meeting me @ WDW. After all the extras I decided he would be happier staying in Tampa. The dog (Einstein) not my son We had a great time too.

Columbus: The Four Voyages, 1492-1504 From the author of the Magellan biography, Over the Edge of the World, a mesmerizing new account of the great explorer Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in search of a trading route to China, and his unexpected landfall in the Americas, is a watershed event in world history. Yet Columbus made three more voyages within the span of only a decade, each designed to demonstrate that he could sail to China within a matter of weeks and convert those he found there to Christianity. These later voyages were even more adventurous, violent, and ambiguous, but they revealed Columbus's uncanny sense of the sea, his mingled brilliance and delusion, and his superb navigational skills. In all these exploits he almost never lost a sailor. By their conclusion, however, Columbus was broken in body and spirit. If the first voyage illustrates the rewards of exploration, the latter voyages illustrate the tragic costs—political, moral, and economic. In rich detail Laurence Bergreen re-creates each of these adventures as well as the historical background of Columbus's celebrated, controversial career. Written from the participants' vivid perspectives, this breathtakingly dramatic account will be embraced by readers of Bergreen's previous biographies of Marco Polo and Magellan and by fans of Nathaniel Philbrick, Simon Winchester, and Tony Horwitz. |

Review: Columbus: The Four Voyages
Recensione dell'utente - Dana Tuss - GoodreadsSo much more to know about him than what I had learned up til now. Not an easy book at times because of endless references to places that are now something else, but the total story is impressive. Leggi recensione completa
Review: Columbus: The Four Voyages
Recensione dell'utente - Tim Hodges - GoodreadsVery thorough, well-written and engaging. I learned many new things about Columbus. For one thing, he had mad skills as a navigator -- he didn't really know where he was, but he knew how to get there. He was a pretty awful leader, and he suffered mightily for it, but what he did is still amazing. Leggi recensione completa

Video Review: Mitsubishi FL7000U
Oct 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Jeff Sauer
A projector that balances high brightness with 1080p video quality.
Not surprising to anyone who reads between the lines and matches features with specifications, Mitsubishi's 5000-lumen reading is based on the Dynamic Gamma setting and peak brightness. That's not at all likely to be how the projector will be set up, at least not by a knowledgeable professional. Based on a more reasonable configuration, I measured just less than 4000 lumens in Dynamic Gamma mode; the brightness dropped off considerably, down below 1000 lumens, as I worked through the various image mode presets such as sRGB and Theater. However, brightness uniformity was rock-solid at better than 90 percent in all of the various configurations. That is very good under any circumstances, but it's particularly good for a native 16:9 projector with a wider area of screen real estate to cover.
I was able to measure a full on/off contrast ratio of 1276:1, and that's actually better than Mitsubishi's 1000:1 claim. That also varied greatly depending the image preset, and switching from the business-oriented modes to the video-oriented modes lowered contrast significantly. My ANSI checkerboard contrast measurements ranged from 200:1 to 350:1, depending on setup.
The FL7000U did an excellent job in my tests reproducing solid red, green, and blue primaries, but again, depending on configuration, it moved the secondary colors by surprisingly amounts. Cyan was rather green and magenta closer to blue than it should be in presentation modes. However, the Theater or sRGB mode presets improved color accuracy, and I was able to do even better by spending some time working with the rich-color setup options. Ultimately, it's all about finding the right balance between color, brightness, and contrast for the space that you're working with. The good news is that the FL7000U has the flexibility to create good images and color in a variety of potentially unforgiving spaces.
Naturally, with a native resolution of 1920x1080, the FL7000U does a wonderful job producing sharp images — particularly with good-quality source material and high-resolution data inputs. Just as importantly, it does a very good job scaling images up, whether those are standard-definition video or lower-resolution computer text. In my video test, the FL7000U was able to handle a number of different video resolutions without breaking down into moiré patterns. Computer text and graphics retained shape despite input resolution.
With the FL7000U, Mitsubishi is taking a bit of a gamble that the corporate world is ready for something more than 4×3 presentation slides. Certainly houses of worship have a use for a bright video-oriented projector, as do smaller conference centers and educational campuses. However, the corporate use may be more of a balance between traditional data content and video. But that's just where the FL7000U is strongest: matching the brightness of the typical business projector with the added color accuracy and native wide resolution of a video projector.

issue 331 § April 2013 § Sonar Kollektiv estb. 1998 § circulation 60,000 § free
04/11/13Jazzanova at Record Store Day And it wouldn't be Sonar Kollektiv wouldn't we be treated with a very special goodie: The new shooting stars and new signings of the label, Paskal & Urban Absolutes took a classic out of the extensive repertoire of the label to task, "That Night" by Jazzanova from 2001. As usual with a remix by Paskal & Urban Absolutes the vocals of the track are not short-changed after the revision. With a voice like the one of Vikter Duplaix you can't do wrong anyway. On the other hand, Alexander Kastner and Adrian Hoffmann built such a safe bet of a 2013 sounding deephouse cracker that you get subsequently a dub version of it on the flipside. You can call it a win-win situation for everybody. Hopefully especially for the Record Store Day 2013 though!

All About Snip-n-Drip Watering Systems
Easy, customizable, irrigation system
helps plants thrive and saves water
WITH our Snip-n-Drip soaker system, you can water your entire landscape, from planters on the porch to raised beds, garden rows and landscape plantings. Just customize the hoses and fittings to match your needs.
Start with Soaker Hose, which can be cut with scissors to fit the shape of any bed or row. To anchor the hose in place, use Earth Staples.
Use 3-Way Connectors and Angle Connectors to direct water where you need it.
Use Garden Hose to carry water from one area to another — or connect to your faucet. Cut to fit with scissors. For instance, you can use it to cross gaps between two raised beds or two shrubs.
With the Hose Couplers, you can connect Garden Hose to Soaker Hose.
To keep the pressure consistent, use a Pressure Regulator at the start of your watering system.
Connect pots, planters and windowboxes to your system by adding the Pot and Planter Soaker System, which has scaled-down soaker hoses and tubing, designed to fit in small spaces.
How to Find the Best Spacing for Your Soaker Hose
The amount of coverage you get from a line of soaker hose varies a bit, depending on your soil. To figure out the best spacing for your garden, run the soak for a bit to see how the water moves in your soil. In fast-draining soil, such as sandy soil, and you won't see much lateral spread of moisture. In rich, loamy soil, there will be more lateral spread.
If you find that you need to add more soaker hose after you've already set up your system, it's easy to splice in more, using Hose Couuplers and more Soaker Hose.
Adding a Timer
Although it might seem like a luxury item, a timer will turn your system from good to great. Choose a programmable timer that allows for several shorter cycles per day. With soaker hose, it often helps to use a technique called "pulse watering," especially if you have heavy soil that doesn't drain well. Instead of running the soaker for one long cycle, you break it into four shorter soak cycles, following each soak by a pause. This allows water to soak into the soil and prevents waste. For instance, you set the timer to soak for 20 minutes, followed by a 20-minute pause. You repeat the process three more times. Adjust the length of soak and pause as needed, depending on your soil and rainfall.

Alright, so it's The 21 Day Sugar Detox time again! Oh.....you say you've never heard of it? Well let me introduce you to my favorite way to detox from sugar, stop my cravings, drop a few extra pounds and just over all, clean up and reset my Paleo lifestyle.
So why do I like THIS program so much?
The materials: The downloadable e-files are professional looking and clean with lots of infographics that make everything super easy to understand. It's also loaded with information about how sugar effects the body, what sugars are best when you're NOT on the 21dsd (if you're going to indulge that is) and much, much more.
Plus, you also get loads of recipes to start you off, with great looking pictures and easy to follow instructions. Throw in some great tips on planning ahead and making the 21 days manageable and it's a darn near perfect guidebook for success.
My favorite part though is that you know exactly what you can and cannot eat. No ambiguity here; it's all laid out for you. There's even 3 different levels that you can choose from depending on what amount of "detox" you feel comfortable with. So if you or someone you know is feeling a little squeamish about he whole thing, just try starting off at level one...I promise, it's really not scary at all.
Ok, Ok....so what about these crazy little dessert "bombs" I have for you here? (And how exactly do they fit into a sugar detox?!?) Well on The 21 Day Sugar Detox you are allowed the option of having 1 granny smith apple or 1 green tipped banana per day.
You don't have to eat them, but the point here is....if you need to, you CAN! Yes....they do have some natural sugar in them, so why are they allowed, you ask? Well I recommend that you read the 21dsd manual because the answer is in there.
As for me....I'm just glad to have them with me on my 21 day journey! And having detox friendly "treats" around the house was pivotal in helping my kids adjust to and realize they could love a "not so sweet treat" as much as a sweet one! This has really stuck with them and they love pretty much all food snow....sweet or not. So, there really can be benefits to "detox treats"! I'd even say it's actually reduced the amount of emotional eating in our house. When there's no sugar rush to accompany treats, you no longer go to them for that "fix". Now it's JUST a treat, full of good nutrition. And nutrition tastes good!
These lovely cakeballish looking treats are made with 2 Granny Smith apples, (AND the juice is squeezed out of them which makes them even lower in sugar). In reality if you get about 10 "bombs" out of this recipe you could technically eat 5-7 cake bombs in place of 1 Granny Smith apple! However I recommend spreading them out over a day or two. Or even better.....share them with a friend! My kids aren't really "sharers" during The 21 Day Sugar Detox though....so I'm lucky if I get any at all.
Find out more about The 21 Day Sugar Detox HERE. You won't be sorry.
21 Day Sugar Detox Lemony Carrot Cake Balls
21dsd Friendly, Paleo, Vegan, Dairy/Gluten Free
For the Filling
2 large Granny Smith Apples (about 1 lb), peeled, cored & quartered1 large carrot (add more carrots and/or apples if they are small)
1/2 cup or more of "Let's Do Organic Shredded Coconut* (Buy it here)
3 Tablespoons almond butter or cashew butter, etc...
1/3 cup crushed or finely ground pecans, raw or toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon REAL vanilla extract
Lemon juice (about 2 tsp) and zest of one medium lemon
2 teaspoons of the carrot/apple juice as needed for a workable texture.
Optional: add 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup to taste when NOT on the 21 Day Sugar Detox.
For the (unsweetened) Coconut Cream Coating
1/2 cup coconut butter, melted** (Buy it here)
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon REAL vanilla extract
zest of one medium sized lemon
Dip in Melted chocolate like in the original sweetened recipe HERE (Not 21DSD friendly)
Now combine the rest of the filling ingredients together with the carrot/apple mixture. Using your hands, mix to combine well.
The Coconut Cream Coating can always be made thicker or thinner just by adding more coconut butter (thicker) or more coconut oil (thinner)
If you are not using popsicle sticks, you can just skewer the chilled ball and dip it into the coating that way. Or place it on a fork and spoon the coating over the ball.

Great jacket seems very warm and durable. i am going skiing over new year and expect this jacket to keep me warm when paired with base layers. would have given 5 stars but the size was a little big so had to return and get a size 8 also would have liked it in black more than the grey but this was the only one available.
October 28, 2014
Goid fit and good quality garment
October 24, 2014
This jacket is very fantastic. take warm, the waterproof is fantastic. have much pocket. i love the half gloves. the colour and design is beautiful. maybe you can make a design of your jacket more elegant for women in the city. because for stay in a humid city i need a waterproof jacket but is too sportive. if you make a line for everyday but elegant, for me should be very lovely.
September 23, 2014
Just what i was looking for. great fit. i cannot wait to wear it.
September 18, 2014
The jacket looks amazing, but the size i ordered turned out too big on me. i gave it to my friend and she likes it a lot. has lots of pockets

Nominations should be either a paragraph and a link about the charity and why you think it should be chosen, or a 1-2min video outlining your choice. I will then compile all the nominations and voting will take place near the end of December to choose the winner.
Nominations will close on the 21st Dec 2012.
Note: Only serious nominations please.

The international equivalent of the American Cancer Society.
I'm not accepting that as an official nomination. Research it and tell us why if you think it should be the charity. Also, the American Cancer Society would be fine, it's a big enough organisation that everyone at least can understand it's goals and aims.

Whichever charity you pick, make sure it's a good one. None of that 'only 20% of donations actually contribute to the cause', not looking at anyone *cough*Kony2012*cough*
I'll be helping Bryony handle the money. Whether that's a good thing (I'm honest) or a bad thing (I honestly love beer), I'll let you decide.
Also, I'd like to nominate Mental Health America. Their goal is to educate people on all forms of mental illness, help those who need it find treatment, and help rate providers and fight insurance denials. They also engage in a great deal of lobbying politicians for better support of those with mental illness, and wider acknowledgment of mental health issues.
Being that this is an international event, I'd love to find an international version but haven't had much time to look yet. Why mental health? Well, partly for selfish reasons, and partly because having been close to a suicide only a month ago, one of my personal goals going forward is to do all I can to minimize the number of families who have to lose someone that way.

It specialises in caring and treating young children with disease and conditions.
As a bit of background, (This isn't a "look what i did" thing, but merely some reasoning and what help donations helped) back when i was 17, a friend of mines neighbour had a young boy who needed a liver transplant and we heard that he was staying at the hospital, so in order to raise awareness and help for the cause that saves his life, we played some gigs and gave nearly £800/ $1500 to the charity.
They sent me a letter with a special thanks and explained what they had used the money for (which was to help expand and improve their liver unit as what we were raising awareness for). I think they're a worthy cause and i believe they are working internationally too, but don't hold me too it. You also get to see results for the donations you give.

This is a non-profit organization that aims to help people struggling with addiction, depression, self injury, and thoughts of suicide. TWLOHA invests directly into treatment and recovery. As well as being a charity, TWLOHA focuses on providing a community for people to connect and help others with similar struggles. Most of their work is dedicated to connecting the gap between treatment and the people who need help. They do this mostly with music and festivals. TWLOHA also supports other similar organizations by donating to them. Some of the organizations are Hopeline, InTheRooms.com, S.A.F.E. Alternatives, Minding Your Mind, and Kids Help Line, an Australian-based charity. (So technically it's not just American-based)
I love this charity so much. One of my friends was able to receive treatment and recover because of this charity, so it means a lot to me.

On the 24th August 2007, Sophie Lancaster and her boyfriend were brutally attacked in a park because they dressed as goths, because they looked "different". After friends and family were consulted, a charity was set up in Sophie's name with the focus on creating respect and understanding for all parts of subcultures in our communities. It works in conduction with politicians and police forces to ensure individuals who are part of subcultures are protected by law.
The aims and objectives of the Charity are as follows:
- To create a lasting legacy to Sophie.
- To provide educational group-works that will challenge the prejudice and intolerance towards people from alternative subcultures.
- To campaign to have the UK Hate Crime legislation extended to include people from alternative subcultures or Lifestyle and Dress.
This charity is very supported within the music and art world, Bloodstock festival renamed one of its stages 'The Sophie Lancaster Stage'. The King Blues, The Levellers, Delain, Courtney Love, ILLAMASQUA (a make up brand) and The Damned (among many others) have voiced/actively shown their support for the charity.
I think this is a great charity because it aims to make people aware of the different subcultures within society and stamp out violence and prejudice related to misunderstanding someone, just because of what they're wearing/look like.

"I used these with the blue background for a winter wedding and they were beautiful! Everyone commented on how beautiful the invitation was!"
"WOW is all I continue to say. I am so unbelievably happy with the final product of my invitations. I had ordered several samples and this one stuck out immediately! I loved the design and the gold color on the creme stock card. Although there was other color options when ordering, I kept the gold as I thought it was very classy and appropriate for our venue. I had a couple of designer requests made to the invite so I was anxious to see how it would finally look in person. It came out awesome! I had requested the grooms parents names be written under his and that "black tie optional" be added to the bottom right. My fiance and I are so very happy with the way they came out and I cannot wait to send them out to all my guests. We also had the return addresses printed on all the envelopes as well as a matching gold liner added to the envelopes."
"We choose the "tea for two" because we used the same suite for our 'save the date'. The invitation turned out beautifully; my family and friends were impressed by the overall uniqueness of the design. The customer service was great. I received my digital proof within 48 hours, and when I noticed an error I had made, I made the correction and received a revised proof in an hour. Wonderful products and service."
"I can't even express how thrilled I am with these invitations. They are absolutely beautiful. The paper is heavy, and the engraving is gorgeous. I couldn't be happier."

I planted some tubers in the fall and now our new puppy has dug them up. Any suggestions on what to do with the tubers until spring? |

Ha ha! Patty . . . either contain the new puppy or get a fence around the tubers - still, you'd have to deal with squirrels and what not, so why not cut up some plastic bottles - put the tops on your plants. Leave the cap off the bottle of course, so they can breathe. You can secure them with sticks poked into the ground around them. I have heard that using opaque juice jugs is a good idea. |
- Posted by compost_hugger_nancy z4/5 NES MI (My Page) on Sun, Jan 22, 06 at 13:15
If it is iris or daylilly tubers just poke them back in and lay wire mesh over the bed. This will let them re-root and keep the dog from digging. For that matter when I did that around the shed it kept the varmits from digging uder the shed as well. The bottles is a good idea Except that dogs love to play with liter bottles! |
Thanks wildcitywomen and compost hugger nancy. I really appreciate the tuber suggestions. |

About Royal Reels
Are you sick and tired of news reports droning on endlessly about the royal wedding? Have you had enough talk about what the bride and groom will wear or who will be invited to the event? Well, instead of pouting about it, why not dive head-first into the royal hoopla and just enjoy the regal ride? What better way is there to dive into royal mania than by having a go at Royal Reels?
Royal Reels information
Start the game off by deciding how much you are going to bet. The bet level, number of pay lines, and bet per line can be adjusted so you can play up to a whopping 150 credits. The biggest possibly prize on offer here is 2,500 credits, which is won when you have five silver diamonds come up on an active pay line. This symbol also serves as the wild icon. There are two bonus games on offer in Royal Reels: three or more royal crown symbols will trigger the bonus round, while three or more consecutive gemstones on an active pay line starting from the far left reel will bring up the 'click on me' reel feature. All in all, lots to chew on here!
This 5-reel, 30 pay line slot game from Betsoft has a very-cutting edge feel even in spite of its inherently regal, old-school feel. The symbols such as the royal lettering, fruit and crown jewels are a perfect example of this. The effects are also excellent. Perhaps the only thing missing here is some background music to keep you company.
