Hello- I have just recently started some vegetable seeds to try and start my own vegetable garden. You know with the economy and all I'm thinking that I should try and grow my own since fresh produce can be very pricey. I've planted some eggplant, tomatoes, green onion, hawaiian chili peppers, Sweet Bell Pepper, Pak Choy, Chinese Cabbage, chives, basil and zucchini. I'm interested to find out what fellow islanders are growing in their veggie gardens. Please share.. Mahalo |
Follow-Up Postings:
Currently growing okra, okinawan & malabar spinach, jicama, green onion, various herbs (thyme, oregano, chives, sage, bay laurel, nasturium (which I didn't care for its cullinary use, although it does produce nice flowers), potato (for the greens), portuguese cabbage, collard, cucumber, and have eggplant, lablab beans and sweet pepper seedlings. Also have two papaya trees, a patch of strawberry plants that is bearing fruits, calamansi and mexican lime, as well as tangerine tree laden with fruits. |

randg - Are you growing sweet potatoes for the greens? Do you have any leafminer problems growing your veggies. I am having some problems with my cabbage. |
I don't know what kind of potato it is. The type of potato I grow was, I think, bred just for the greens. It's not my favorite greens to eat, but my mom likes it. I usually see the potato greens being sold in some of the grocery in the Asian section for more than a dollar--which is cheap, but it's basically free once you planted it. It keeps producing new edible leaves and can handle drought. The portuguese cabbage does not form a head. It's similar to collard greens. Instead of growing head cabbage (if that is what you are growing), try growing portuguese cabbage. To me, the are easy to grow and I don't have to wait for the head to form. All the leaves are used, too. I usually take the oldest leaves to use, never letting any of the leaves to turn yellow. It taste like, or should I say better, than head cabbage. I didn't notice any of leaf miner on the leaves. Although, some of the problem I have growing this green is the pest, mainly caterpillar, but that is just minor problem--a lot of brown anole lizards in the garden usually takes care of that problem. However, with my Okinawan spinach, I'm also having problems with leaf miners. Since I don't use any pesticide spray in the garden, the only way I can do is get rid of the leaves that has been damaged and has leaf miner on it. I don't put the leaves in compost, it goes straight to trash. |

Hi Randg, I've never heard of Portugese cabbage. Where did you get your seeds? and does it grow well in the summer (in heat)? Tx! |
I didn't it grow it from seed. I got it from Oahu Urban Garden Center few months ago. I bought just one pot, but there were two plants which I separated it when I planted it in the garden. I bought it just to try it, and a month a later there were an article in Honolulu Advertiser about it: "Taking An Evening Stroll In My Brother's Ka'a'awa Neighborhood A Few Years Back, I Peeked Over A Fence And Cried, 'Look! Portuguese Cabbage!"[...] I emailed her, and she said that Portuguese cabbage last for two years and could be propagated. As for the summer heat, I'm sure it would be fine. |
love4gardening-i'm growing most of what you are except for the zucchini. Last time i tried i got a few at the beginning but then every one after that got stung by fruit flies! So far the only thing that hasn't worked out well AT ALL for me is spinach. Luckily chard is easy to grow and if you pick the outer leaves when they still small and tender it makes a superiour substitute-according to me anyway-YMMV. Sugar peas are great to grow because they taste good and are VERY expensive to buy. They make tasty sprouts, too. Green beans have done well and i have a few wing beans and gandule beans going. Planning to try long beans as the weather warms up as well as corn, asian melon and kabocha. The melon and squash might get stung but i'm going to set some traps out this time and see if it helps. This cool weather has been great for lettuce. I have some edible amaranth to try once the heat comes back and i'm putting in a row of asparagus next week. Oh and try those little japanese salad turnips-easy, fast and delicious. Is this your first veggie garden? The best advice i got was start small and grow what you like and it has worked well for me : ) Randg- Thanks for the Portugese Cabbage info, i've bookmarked the link. Is lablab similiar to hyacinth bean? Tell me about it, if you don't mind? |
- Posted by happyinhilo (My Page) on Mon, Mar 16, 09 at 23:26
Thanks for da scoops on Portuguese cabbage! I'll look for some. |
Wow, thanks for the great answer Randg! |
Has anyone used the seeds from UH? I'm trying a variety, including tomatoes, peppers and beans. Lee |
Yes, the UH seeds are great. Selected for adaptation to local growing conditions. I'd like to try that long green eggplant one day but right now i'm growing, i think, eight different types. Maybe next year ; ) |
- Posted by love4gardening 11 HI (My Page) on Sat, Jun 6, 09 at 14:56
@steiconi- I am currently growing these seeds from the Aina Ola Seed Co. which are the ones also on the UH website.... Manoa Wonder Pole Bean- fast grower, seems like I had beans within a month and a half. Tatsoi Rosette Pak Choi- this grew fine for me, I did have occasional leaf miners, but was able to just pinch off the few affected leaves. UH Kewalo Tomato- This is just starting to fruit for me now. It's a very beautiful plant and I haven't had any problems with it and am very surprised and pleased. I had tried growing Early Girl Tomatoes, I did get fruit, however the plants were very sickly looking and I always had to pick off yellow leaves. I think the humidity and moist conditions weren't something these plants were bred for. The Kewalo is doing great though. |
thanks about the UH seeds. I ordered everything that was in stock, and some plants (Manoa Wonder beans, Yam beans) are doing great, others (tomatoes, eggplants) not so much Lee |
I'm also trying UH seeds that I bought last month from Oahu Urban Garden Center. I bought Kewalo tomato and Kai Choy: Waianae Strain. The seeds were excellent quality because a lot of it sprouted from that $1.00 packet of seeds. Next Saturday (June 13, 2009), there is going to be an another event at Oahu Urban Garden Center called, "University of Hawaii Vegetable Seeds". So I'm sure there will be more variety of seeds I called buy. A special presentation by UH Seed Lab Director, Desmond Ogata, will be there, so I will attend that presentation to learn more about the disease resistant varieties of UH Vegetable Seeds. If anyone is looking for banana plant, there is a BBT virus-free bananas available during that event: 'Ice Cream', 'Lady Finger' (also known as True Apple/Amorosa/ Monzano), and 'Williams' are available for purchase. |

Hi Everyone! I live in Costa Rica and need to find a vegetable seeds supply in the US. I have heard that Hawaii climate is pretty much the same as here, the seeds wouldn't have to acclimate as if they were from a colder climate. I'd like to ask if anyone knows a company that can sell and ship here. Thank you in advance, Paola |
here's the link to the University of Hawaii seed program. http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/seed/seeds.asp You'll have to ask them if they ship internationally. Their seed selection varies by time of year, so check back every now and then, or ask them when specific seeds are available. |

i live in the kahala area of Oahu and am having a tough time growing vegetables. after i put in seed it only takes a matter of days for the seeds to spout. after a couple of weeks of growth then the plant is almost dormant. growth is slow to non existent. i am watering every day so don't know what else to do. any suggestions, thank you |
- Posted by ediblelandscape (My Page) on Tue, Aug 28, 12 at 2:22
In regard to Franco4454. How many times I have had plants spring up, start growing well, then begin a slow decline. They look like they need water, but watering doesn't help. Then leaves will yellow, branches will die. Sometimes they revive briefly, only to die back again. These are all symptoms of root-knot nematodes. Many vegetables are susceptible. Pineapple cultivation would be impossible without strong fumigants to sterilize the soil for these pests. Once you know you have this problem, and almost all soils in the tropics have them, you have to either sterilize the soil, or plant in pots of sterile soil. I have learned the hard way, perhaps I can save others the trouble. |
I was ready to give up. Something was just eating everything. I tried Soaps and Insecticides, Nothing really seemed to help. I came across SeaCide on Burpee's web site. The plants actually seem to like it and it seems to have stopped what ever was eating them. Last night I was able to pick some string beans. I have a couple of pepper plants that were almost decimated and still look very straggly but they are making peppers. SeaCide is 94% fish oil 3% Cottenseed oil and 3% Lecithin. I am still wondering why it works and I hope it keeps on working. |

Andrean's Barajas makes about face; now headed to Notre Dame
By LaMond Pope email@example.com May 30, 2014 10:02AM
Andrean's defender Josh Barajas (44) reacts after making a stop against Lowell during their game held at Lowell High School on Friday October 18, 2013. | Charles Mitchell/for Sun-Times Media ORG XMIT: CST1310182126146594
Josh Barajas called an audible and decided to stay closer to home.
The Andrean linebacker de-committed from Penn State and orally committed to Notre Dame, 59ers football coach Phil Mason confirmed Friday.
"Notre Dame is getting a Notre Dame kid," Mason said. "He'll be a great football player there and he'll be a great student there. And he'll represent Andrean and he'll represent Northwest Indiana very well at Notre Dame. We're very excited about it."
Barajas orally commitment to Penn State in late March. Family played a role in switch to play for the Irish.
"The process, it was tough on the kid," Mason said. "Basically, family came into the decision. Dad and being close to home and Notre Dame; the whole Notre Dame thing."
"I'm a big fan of Notre Dame, being from Andrean (it) is huge that he is going to Notre Dame. It's huge."
Mason said.
Dennis Gutowski is the last person from Andrean to play for the Irish. Gutowski played at Notre Dame in the early 1970s.
Rivals.com ranks Barajas as the No. 2 player in the state for the Class of 2015. He is also ranked No. 14 nationally among all outside linebackers.
Barajas is the ninth member of Notre Dame's Class of 2015.
"They are getting a great kid," Mason said. "Josh will be a bookend to (linebacker) Jaylon Smith. We played against Jaylon two years ago in semistate. You're looking at the same type of kid. A very humble kid.
"This was a very difficult thing for him to do. The phone call to coach (James) Franklin last night at Penn State was very difficult. But I think he understood it."
Barajas is Notre Dame's sixth four-star recruit in the Class of 2015.
"I'm really happy for the kid," Mason said.

Crisis team swamped by more cases
The phones ring at a steady pace.
"Crisis," Catherine Malatt answers, pulling out a pad of paper. It is a Thursday morning in early May. A principal is calling, with an out-of-control child in his office. Malatt takes notes, asking the principal what he is doing and what his next steps are. Satisfied that he knows what to do, she tells the principal to call back later and tell her how it went.
Close by and within ear-shot, psychologist Daniel Zoller follows up on an incident report about a fight, helping the school's disciplinarian figure out a response.
After her call, Malatt turns her attention to reports of shootings that injured two CPS students. One was shot in the back several times on Wednesday afternoon, just blocks away from his school, and was seriously injured. The other was shot Wednesday evening. Both shootings appear to be gang-related.
Malatt says she is awaiting more information, but she doesn't send staff from the crisis office out to the schools. The principals have told her that they don't need help. Malatt stresses that every shooting is taken seriously and that a member of the team will follow up with the principal.
Another member of the crisis team is out at an elementary school. A teacher died overnight after suffering seizures. Earlier, in a 6:30 a.m. phone call, the principal told Malatt that she never had to navigate such an experience. Just yesterday, the teacher was in school.
As Malatt and her team take calls and make calls, they scroll through their email in-boxes looking at incident reports. It is their job to figure out if reported incidents merit follow-up and to contact the school to encourage them to take the appropriate steps.
By 10 a.m., Malatt has received 146 reports.
CPS' crisis intervention team was created more than 20 years ago, as it became apparent that schools needed help responding to crises. The team is made up of specially trained psychologists and social workers that help schools get through tragedies. The unit also trains school clinicians, teachers and school-based police officers in trauma response.
But as the number of reports increases, staffing is down. In the 2008-2009 school year, a team of eight handled 500 calls. In 2010-2011, a team of five handled 1,750 calls.
Malatt says that schools aren't necessarily coping with more crises. Instead, she says, "our work is better known in the school communities, and they request assistance more often than previously. Our schools trust us and we respond quickly and appropriately." If needed, the unit can request additional clinicians from the citywide pool.
Like so many other units in CPS that have been hit by budget woes, Malatt says her team uses resources "strategically" and turns to outside agencies when need be.
* * *
One area where awareness has likely resulted in more calls is teen suicide. About a third of the 1,750 incidents concerned a distressed child who was talking about killing himself or herself.
Megan Watkins, a crisis interventionist, says she attributes the high number of calls to awareness: The crisis team has trained school counselors to recognize signs that a student is considering suicide.
Watkins notes, however, that few students actually go through with the idea. "Lake Forest already has three suicides this year," she says. "We have had five."
According to the Centers for Disease Control, Chicago has one of the highest rates in the country of children who have tried suicide. Ten percent of teenagers in Chicago reported attempting suicide in the CDC's 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey. Nationally, on average, 6.9 percent of teens reported attempting suicide.
Barbara Shaw, executive director of the Illinois Violence Prevention Authority, says young people in Chicago and other urban centers are more susceptible. "Where the surroundings are depressing and there is a presence of drugs and alcohol, a lot of kids don't have a sense of the future," she says.
Zoller notes that children respond to trauma in different ways. Some internalize it. Some become angry or unable to control their emotions. Zoller says he often has to explain to school administrators that they should try not to judge children too quickly when they act out.
One of the goals of the crisis intervention team is to have a "trauma-informed school," in which teachers, counselors and principals learn to understand children's reaction to trauma.
As Zoller talked earlier to the school's dean, he calmly explained that one of the children involved in the fight might need help. During the conversation, he found out that one boy was screaming and yelling and threw over the desk.
The boy was suspended.
But with further probing, Zoller discovered that the boy was also self-mutilating. The young man's friends told the dean that they are worried about the youth's erratic behavior.
Zoller suggested that the next time the boy fights, the dean call 911 and have him transported to an emergency room to be evaluated by a psychiatrist.
"Explosive behavior is a red flag for trauma," Zoller says.
* * *
About 14 percent of the calls to the crisis unit are about a death of a student or school staff.
Zoller says that schools need to address these situations promptly to keep students from reacting in dramatic, inappropriate ways. This year, the unit rolled out a new manual for schools to use in developing a crisis plan. It includes everything from a template of a letter to go to parents about an incident, to lists specifying who should be told, when, and how.
Calmeca Elementary School Principal Frances Garcia says that having a plan in writing is helpful, but when a tragedy strikes, it is important to have the crisis team step in. On May 18, a Saturday evening, she got a call alerting her that Alejandro Jaime, an 8th-grader at her school, was shot and killed.
"This was a popular child, a child who had friends in every grade," she says.
Garcia says Alejandro was the first student she ever lost and she didn't know what her first step should be. "I, myself, was dealing with grief," she says.
Malatt was immediately in touch and let Garcia know that she would have a staff member at the school first thing on Monday morning. When Garcia arrived at 7 a.m., Zoller walked in the door with her.
As the news traveled through the school, everyone was in tears, from teachers to preschoolers to Alejandro's classmates. Zoller held meetings with the staff and then went into classes and pulled Alejandro's friends aside to talk.
"It was tremendously helpful," Garcia says.
In the weeks since, a place has been set up where students can go if they feel overwhelmed. Zoller continues to follow up, but the day-to-day interaction with students is left to school staff.
The counselor will stop everything and talk with students if need be.
Garcia says the school is not yet back to normal. Amid plans for graduation, school staff and students have plans to present Alejandro's diploma to his mother and to hold a special memorial ceremony.
At the ceremony, a rocket that Alejandro built for science class will be launched into the sky.

Crisis Team
The Crisis Team is one of the standout performers of CPS. Dr.Cathy Malatt and her team have successfully and consistently met a number of huge challenges over the years and deserve much praise. I only wish other components of the system would do as well as they have!
Unsung Heroes of Chicago Public Schools
Thank you, Sarah, for illuminating the wonderful work done by this team of unsung heroes at CPS. Dr. Malatt and her team took the concept of doing more with less to a whole new level. It is wonderful to see that their selfless struggle for the well being of students and staff, who are caught up in that cauldron of violence, is given well deserved recognition. Personally, I will never forget the many experiences of collaborating with the Crisis Team during my service at CPS.

The Bed and Breakfast
Shower head was stuck in in position,front door had wasn't sealed tightly, bathtub was dirty
Not enough parking and staff couldn't tell u how to park for those unfamiliar with the area. The back lot is not well lit and instructions are unclear and hotel staff couldn't help. The room was average and looked much nicer in the pics than it was in person.
- Location: A really well centered hotel (you can walk to the Aquarium, Coca Cola Center, CNN, Hard Rock Cafe, CVS pharmacy). - Snacks: Free hot water / coffee (24 h.) Sometimes you can find apples. - Room: you can find free coffee (machine). - Bathroom: several towels, cold and hot water, and good water pressure.
- The walls are thin, so at night you can hear the new people that arrive to the hotel with their wheel bags. But it is not so hard.
Good location
Small bathroom, inadequate parking, extremely slow elevator, room was much smaller than pictured, no variety for breakfast
Checkout was flexible. Staff always smiled and geeted.
A little run down.
I arrived at the hotel late at night from a long flight and they did not have my booking in the system. They gave me a room and there was a terrible noise outside the room the whole night. Not great.
You can not ask for more accommodating wonderful staff than the front desk and breakfast staff. They truly care and will do anything the can to ensure a great experience.
The housekeeping staff does not go out of their way at all. While the room was clean, the linens were not always replenished properly
10 minutes on foot from Aquarium & Coca Cola, 5 minutes on foot from metro station. Clean, comfortable and quiet area. Good breakfast. Is possible to use breakfast area, with microwave and free coffee every time, to have a cheap lunch or dinner self organized. Staff very friendly and helpful.
The hotel is organized like an "inn", with rooms outside. It's good in summer, but not in winter You have to enter in the lobby, then go outside and finally reach Your room. When it's cold or it rains, it's not very good.
- great location smack in the middle of downtown and in walking distance of Olympic Park, aquarium etc. - very friendly, helpful staff
- room rather on the small side - no parking available (public parking right across the street)
Family of 4. 2 beds. Comfortable, clean room. Excellent location. We walked everywhere. Accommodating staff. Good breakfast buffet. Very happy with our choice. Will return for sure! Great value!
Nothing, really. It wasn't the Ritz but we were really happy with the value of our choice.
The location was close to most all main attractions, so we could walk to most places
Up on check in we had to park in an off site parking garage about a block away, they would not let us unload the car so we had to drag all the luggage from the parking garage to the hotel, the bed was hard and noisy, the toilet ran continuously, our room never was cleaned on the first day, The front desk gave our room to someone else so about 8pm we had unexpected guest in our room, someone had checked us out that day! we had to noon to check out new years day, I put a quiet please sign on the door, but about 9:30 that morning the maid came barreling in, worse stay in a hotel I have ever had, would not recommend this site! And the last day the toilet finally quit flushing
Breakfast was good
The overall experience was not good. Signed up in the hotel and were given our electronic keys, walked to our room (which felt more like a chesp motel trough exterior corridors) to find the door unlocked with 2 gentlemen inside. Go back downstairs unhappy and asked for a king bed, was given a room with a double, went back to the desk again... All of this with all of our attire and 2 youngs kids... The "hotel" is fair no more. I would not go back.
Excellent location for us, as we needed a hotel near the Megabus bus stop. Very good shower. Coffee machine in the room.
Linen is not very comfortable.
The breakfast the next morning was good
The fact that they did not have my reservation in there system
We enjoyed everything except the shower.
We were assigned to a wheel chair accessible room, made a messy bathroom.
Helpful staff. Calm atmosphere.
Open sky in cold days among different parts of the Inn.
Location, and staff
Noise during the night from disrespectful guests
Beds and location.
Extremely noisy hotel. Everything outside sounded like it was in our room.
Quaint hotel with excellent customer service & great complimentary breakfast. The rooms are very comfortable & the location is walking distance to downtown favorites.
Very good location from the event
Paying for parking and then having to park a block from the hotel. Didn't clean room like requested.

Convienience has its price and this campground is a good example of that. We stayed here five days because of a car show and other business we had going in the area and we will probably have to do it again sometime but there is certain things that could be cleaned up a little especially around the water hookup and dump areas. Parking is a disaster for your tow vehicle. If you are wanting to leave early the next morning it may not happen with the way people park there vehicles diagonally in front of their rigs. The whole park has a dumpy, pardon the expression, Trailer Trash appeal, mainly with the way its laid out more than what actually is parked in the spot. But with all being said it is quiet, feels safe, and is very convenient to the fairgrounds and Bay Area. I think the rates are about ten dollars to high but this is the Bay Area, with nowhere else to camp nearby, so there you have it. ENJOY!! - monaco cruiser
The website makes this park sound really decent...it is anything but in fact we found it to be quite dumpy ...units are very close together ...grassy pull throughs are not level...no amenities...not even a picnic table..and if you want to use their bathrooms, showers you will each have to pay a $20 fee for a key...(is refundable) . Showers are tile but no hooks anywhere to hang clothes...no countertop at sinks or even a table to put hair products or appliances. Were lots of barking dogs..was not as the girl promised when we called to book. Payment in advance was demanded and when we got here and realized how bad it was they were quick to says we have a NO REFUND policy. Hope this will spare others some grief. - SeniorRVR
Arrived only find they had lost my reservation, although I had the confirmation from them on the day I had made the reservation. Could not get me a site at the fairgrounds due to being booked up. They did get me a site in the "new" rv park they have. What a dump, will not stay here again, full of long term residents, very run down and didn't look safe. Would let my wife outside after dark. Host was rude as could be, would not stay her again, I'd rather sleep at a walmart. - cdat

A Family of Quality Publications Celebrating the Place We Call Home
By Alison Fiebig, assistant editor
I can count on one foot how many times I've ate feet. (Only once, if you're wondering.)
Last week, I called on Ger Xiong, the owner of Phonsavan, a southeast Asian restaurant in Appleton (once upon a time Grillin' Steak House). I was fishing for details on his newish eatery for the Food for Thought feature to run in our April issue of the mag.
Around the five minute mark of the interview, the discussion switched to the menu. As it turns out, they serve a handful of traditional Hmong foods. Just after mentioning egg rolls, pho, and pork ribs, Xiong divulges they also serve chicken feet.
It's comically relevant to say that I went a tad cuckoo at this point in the interview. Not because of the mentioned matter, but because knowledge of this would have made a great addition to the fear factor article out now in the March issue, which on that very Thursday was sent to press.
But, being my blog-minded self, I was determined to feed this information to our readers. While trying to remain cool and competent, I explained my predicament to Xiong and asked if I could meet him at the restaurant to finish our interview. He warmly agreed.
I waited for the perfect afternoon lull & hauled you-know-what to Phonsavan. Knowing this assignment was going to kill two birds with one stone (no pun intended), I was in an editorial euphoria. First, I gathered the details for my April piece; second, we chatted chicken... claw and all.
"We're different from an American bar in that instead of serving wings, we serve chicken feet," he says.
In all fairness, chicken is chicken, right? Take it from the girl who doesn't eat beef.
With our dialogue tailing off, Xiong disappeared into the kitchen only to return with a plate of six deep-fried chicken feet. He looked at me, I looked at him, and with an apprehensive half-smile and my brain dispatching words of rejection, I rationalized with one simple theory: "If I'm challenging our readers to eat it, I can, too."
So right there at the bar, I joined Xiong in an afternoon snack. Following an inner pep talk and a quick tutorial on how to eat around the toe bone, I put away my first foot. Just like that! And what would you know––it tastes like chicken (to which my meat-loving friends would reply, "Duh!").
While I didn't get the scoop in time for the article, we're still including Phonsavan's chicken feet in our Clean Plate Challenge.
Choose to dine on the deep-fried appetizer or the Spicy Chicken Feet entrée, served hot with a spicy sauce.
Now is not the time to chicken out. Join the couragous crusade & sign up now for our Clean Plate Challenge! And if not that, at least stop in for a meaty bowl of pho. Tell him Alison sent you.

Tahoe Cielo was created in the North Shore of Lake Tahoe in the winter of 2012. At it's core, the aerial performance group features four members, Sierra Adibi (Zarrin), Maggie Hatt, Ashley Holz, and Sarah Sherbet, with frequent guest appearances by many friends and performers. With an appetite for collaboration, Tahoe Cielo has trained and performed with artists of many different disciplines, including but not limited to fire dancers, pole dance acrobats, DJs, bands, and of course, a variety of other aerialists. In addition to performing, the ladies of Tahoe Cielo take pleasure in teaching workshops, classes, and private lessons in the Tahoe Basin and beyond.
Within the confines of a transient outdoor Mecca, Tahoe Cielo is inspiring a new paradigm where communal values and stability are emphasized. As our group expands within itself we are using our synergy to uphold our community to its highest potential. We hope to encourage others to join us in our mission to enrich our connection to each other and our home of Lake Tahoe.

LC and Audrina have been had, but this time not just by men in the Hollywood Hills.
Royal Caribbean has released renderings of its new cruise ship, Genesis, using photos of real people scattered throughout the ship. So look real close, and you'll see none other than "The Hills" dimwits. But here's the deal....the ship has violated the law.
Royal Caribbean International is now trying to sort it all out. In the meantime, the photos have been sent to the bottom of the sea.

BIG COUNTY PREPS @BigCountyPreps1 1m Clearwater Central Catholic 2014 DE Justus Reed verbally commits to #UF #gators deeR sutsuJ @jreed_4 13m I have OFFICIALLY committed to the University Of Florida!!!! I've dreamed of this day all my life, never been happier. #GoGators UF was Reed's dream school. Reed also had offer from FSU UNC OSU MIAMI Jutus camped in June. It will be interesting to see how this commitment impacts players like Trent Harris and Richard Yeargin III http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_nX0eHmN3g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR6TrDqXRAE
Im not AZ, but for a high school player he plays with great leverage and has a pretty damn good burst of the los. I believe he is being recruited at buck and it was going to be him or harris in this class.
I am going to watch more film before I make an assessment. He camped and got an offer which means Lawing and Muschamp liked him a lot. Honestly what is most intriguing about this commitment is what does it mean for Richard Yeargin and Trent Harris. While I am no insider I was positive that before the weekend is out we would have a commitment from one of the three. By Reed jumping the gun the question is where does that leave Harris I think Yeargin could play Sam. I would just take Harris knowing we will make room for Carter no matter what. But I am not the staff looking at a limited spots.
So we're probably going to take a lot of DE/Buck types, throw them out there and see where they actually belong, DE, DT, Sam, FB or TE.
6'5" 235 according to Rivals. Looks like a definite BUCK. Watching his film, I kept expecting him to get swallowed up by tackles when his hand was on the ground, but he was using the full arsenal - footwork and hands to gain leverage, speed to the outside and to the B gap, an awfully strong bullrush for his size. Kid looks like a player.
I talked to one his team's coaches today. He said every school that came by offered Justus (incl. pOSU, fwiw) He's raw, started out playing basketball & is very quick, obviously able to jump, has great lateral movement. He needs to work on technique, stopping the run & getting more of a football body.
I assumed they were fudged. You only get correct numbers from camps, and if a guy like this was camping around the country he'd be rated higher.
http://www.tampabay.com/hometeam/bl...ter-central-catholic-22-countryside-13/17936/ The sack total included five from Justus Reed, a speed rusher who transferred from Clearwater and was playing his first game with CCC. One of Reed's sacks resulted in a safety. "I've had four sacks in a game before, but I'm pretty sure I've never had five before," said Reed, who has committed to Florida. "And I know I've never had five in one half before."

The college recently hosted a camp for elementary-aged students. This is the first time the program has been separated between younger and older students. The upcoming middle and high school week will allow older students an opportunity to tackle more complex subjects.
Abbey Thomas who directs the program said the seventh- through 12th-graders would handle artifacts too fragile for the younger students.
More time will also be spent digging behind the Archaeology House on Trunk Street.
"They will be able to lay out their own square. We won't have to measure it out meter by meter. They will take off the sod," Thomas said. "That is not something 6- or 7-year-olds can do easily."
The weeklong program costs $50 per student. Participants are encouraged to bring lunch from home as food is not provided because of concern about potential food allergies. The camp will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day.
Material has been compiled to challenge the participants. Thomas said it is her intention to provide a real-life archaeology experience. She hopes the program will sway some to consider archaeology for a field of study in college.
"Archaeology is all about seeing what is around you and I really want the older kids to learn how to do things carefully. I really want their powers of observation to increase and to learn to be detailed and careful in their work," Thomas said. "I want them to have a basic understanding of archaeology and maybe it'll inspire some of them to be archaeologists."
She said archaeology offers a different view of history than written records. Tangible artifacts allow a person to hold an item created in another decade, generation, century and beyond. Thomas explained there are still items in the earth from the Civil War, Cherokee Indians and Mississippian Indians awaiting discovering in Bradley County and Cleveland.
"Heritage is very important to people and it is important to protect sites that have cultural value, historical value," she said. "Archaeologists can help determine those sites and cultural value. Archaeologists can ensure that things on the site that are valuable to people survive."
Speakers who deal with archaeology on a regular basis agreed to speak with the class. The subjects might run from "how to process artifacts" to what it is like on a dig site. Participants will also learn how to take field notes. These notes will be taken throughout the various projects and speaker presentations. Thomas said some other activities will include a visit to the curation lab, a trip to Schimmel's Park to study stratigraphy and reconstructing an artifact.
Those interested can email Abbey Thomas before Saturday, June 21, at email@example.com.

text: The setting of the film is a tiny town on the outskirts of "The Zone", a wilderness area which has been cordoned off by the government. The film's main character, the Stalker, works as a guide to bring people in and out of the Zone, to a room which is said to grant "the deepest, innermost" wishes. Residual effects of an unnamed previous occurrence have transformed an otherwise mundane rural area scattered with ruined buildings into an area where the normal laws of physics no longer apply. The film begins with the Stalker in his home with his wife and daughter. His wife emotionally urges him not to leave her again to go into the Zone due to the legal consequences, but he ignores her pleas. The Stalker goes to a bar where he meets the Writer and the Professor, who will be his clients on his next trip into the Zone. Writer and Professor are not identified by namethe Stalker prefers to refer to them in this way. The three of them evade the military blockade that guards the Zone using an 88" Series II Land-Roverattracting gunfire from the guards as they goand then ride into the heart of the Zone on a railway handcar. The camera follows their passage from urban setting to rural, and from the darkness required for their infiltration of the zone, to light. Once in the Zone, the Stalker tells the others that they must do exactly as he says to survive the dangers that are all around them. Although the Stalker describes extreme danger at all times, no harm comes to any of the three men; there is a tension between disbelief of the need for his elaborate precautions, and the possibility that they are necessary. The Stalker tests various routes by throwing metal nuts tied with strips of cloth ahead of him before walking into a new area. The Zone usually appears peaceful and harmless, with no visible dangers anywhereWriter is skeptical that there is any real danger, while Professor generally follows the Stalker's advice. Much of the film focuses on the trip through the dangerous Zone, and the philosophical discussions which the characters share about their reasons for wanting to visit the room. Writer appears concerned that he is losing his inspiration, Professor apparently hopes to win a Nobel prize, the Stalkerwho explains that he never visits the room himselfquotes from the New Testament and bemoans the loss of faith in society. Throughout the film, the Stalker refers to a previous Stalker, named "Porcupine," who led his poet brother to death in the Zone, won the lottery, and then hanged himself. The implication is that our "deepest, innermost desires" are opaque even to ourselves, and the overt desire to win the lottery was coupled with the covert and unexpressed - perhaps unconscious - desire that his brother dies - and when Porcupine realized this, he killed himself to expiate his guilt. When the Writer confronts the Stalker about his knowledge of the Zone and the room, he states that it all comes from Porcupine. They first walk through meadows, and then into a tunnel which the Stalker calls "the meat grinder". In one of the decayed buildings, a phone inexplicably begins to ring. Writer answers and says that this is not the clinic and hangs up. Professor then uses the phone to call a colleague. In the resultant conversation, he reveals some of his true motives for having come to the room. He has brought a bomb with him, and intends to destroy the room out of fear that it could be used for personal gain by evil men. The three men fight verbally and physically; the Professor backs down from his plan to destroy the room. Their journey ends when they arrive at the entrance of the room. A long take, with the camera in the room, leaves the men sitting outside the room, and does not clarify whether they ever enter. Rain begins to fall from a dark sky where a ceiling once was, into the ruined building, and the rainstorm gradually fades away, all in one shot. The next scene shows the Stalker, Writer, and Professor back in the bar. Stalker's wife and child arrive. A mysterious black dog that followed the three men through the Zone is now in the bar with them. His wife asks where he got it; Stalker says that it got attached to him and he couldn't leave it in the Zone. As the Stalker leaves the bar with his family and the dog, we see that his child, nick-named "Monkey" (who earlier dialogue has suggested is affected by some form of genetic mutation as a "child of the Zone") is crippled, and cannot walk unaided. Later, when the Stalker's wife mentions she would like to visit the room, he seems to have doubts about the Zone because he tells her he fears her dreams won't be fulfilled. The film ends with Monkey alone in the kitchen. She recites a poem (written by Fyodor Tyutchev), and then lays her head on the table and appears to telekinetically push three drinking glasses across the table, one after the other, with the last one falling to the floor. As the third glass begins to move, a train passes by (as in the beginning of the film), causing the entire apartment to shake, leaving the audience to wonder whether it was Monkey or the vibrations from the train that moved the glasses.

Currently remodeling my kitchen... should my under cabinet lighting be Xenon or LED?
I have researched and I think I am going to go with Pegasus brand. I also looked at Kichler, NSL and CSL - Pegasus seems to get good reviews and is priced very well. I was originally going to go with Xenon but have since considered LED. If LEDs are the better choice, I dont mind paying more money for them because I know it will come back in saved energy. So cost isnt really a concern when choosing between Xenon and LED.
Xenon heat - how bad it is? I know the halogens give off a lot of heat and Xenons arent that bad. But how bad is Xenon? For people that have them, what are your thoughts? Dimmability - It sounds like Xenon are much better for dimming. They say the LEDs I am looking at are dimmable, but you should have at least 40 Watts in total. In my case I will have just over 40 Watts in total.
Color - What gives off a better color - Xenon or LED?
Read more: http://www.doityourself.com/forum/designing-kitchens-bathrooms/475063-undercabinet-lighting-xenon-vs-led-how-much-can-leds-dimmed.html#ixzz210D44SxB |
Follow-Up Postings:
Dimming of low voltage lights depends on the power supply design taking the 120 V to the lower voltage. Pegasus low voltage pucks work fine with a conventional dimmer. |
I would go LED - that's the way things are headed, so you might as well get on board now. I just installed LED under-cabinet lighting myself during my kitchen reno project and hardwired it to wall switches/dimmers. I first tried the basic dimmer switch that Lowes carried but it didn't handle the LEDs very well. I went with a $25 Lutron dimmer made specifically for dimmable LEDs and CFLs, and it works flawlessly. I can dim the LEDs down to nightlight level - we love it. |
" I first tried the basic dimmer switch that Lowes carried but it didn't handle the LEDs very well." Guessing about what rtype of dimmer is needed for low voltage devices is often a hit or miss proposition. Pick the wrong one and it may not work from the start, or result in longer term damage that only shows up weeks later (often after many hours of continuous use in a dimmed position, but sometimes even at 'full on'). The lighting manufacturers know what type of dimmer is needed with their power supplies. Asking them is a good idea. |

I looked at many LED undercabinet lights, but the light quality is not as good as Xenon. I don't like the flat color rendition of LED and the cooler color temp. I ended up getting the stainless steel Kichler Xenon strip. The only benefit of LED, in my view, is the energy efficiency. But how long do you leave the undercabinet lights turned on every day? In our case, we don't turn it on that often so the energy savings would never pay for the extra cost. We are using LED on all of the other lights including the recessed room lights, because those will be turned on all the time. |

Angels of Death
A look at combat in Death Angel |
Death Angel | Published 28 June 2010 |
Things are heating up in the Sin of Damnation as Sergeant Lorenzo's squad pushes further into the dark and cramped ruins of the Space Hulk. The encroaching shadows have quickly taken shape, becoming swarms of vile Genestealers. Bloodshed is inevitable.
Continuing in a series of previews for Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game, today's preview will take us into the thick of battle. Previously we looked at Action cards and how they are used to command your Space Marines, and following that we witnessed the terror of Genestealers and their erratic movement patterns. Now it's time to stand your ground and do what the Blood Angels do best.
Combat in Death Angel is resolved by rolling a custom combat die. This die's six sides are numbered 0 through 5, and three of those sides has a skull icon on it. When rolling to attack, players will score a hit for a every skull symbol rolled. When defending against Genestealer attacks, players must roll higher than the number of Genestealer cards in the attacking swarm, otherwise the Space Marine is slain.
As simple as that sounds, there are several factors that modify combat depending on the situation. Facing, range, Support tokens, special abilities, and Broodlords are the main factors to consider when resolving combat.
As discussed in our Genestealer and Movement preview, facing determines whether or not your Space Marine can target a particular Genestealer swarm. Each Space Marine card is double-sided: one side has a large arrow pointing left, the other pointing right. These arrows indicate the direction in which the Space Marine can attack.
Range is measured by "positions". A position is a single space in the formation (i.e. a Space Marine card). A Space Marine with a range of 1 can attack Genestealer swarms that are engaged with him or ones that are one position away (engaged with an adjacent Space Marine). Space Marines with a range of 0 may only attack Genestealer swarms that they are engaged with.
Support tokens are provided by the Support action card. As we discussed in the Action card preview, these tokens can be used to reroll the combat die when attacking or defending. Whenever a player uses the Support action card they gain one Support token to place on any Space Marine (even ones not under his control or already assigned a Support token).
Certain special abilities provided by Action cards allow players to either reroll the combat die or attack multiple times. The Action cards indicate when these special abilities can be used on the turn they are played.
Broodlords are exceptionally powerful Genestealers. These deadly foes are only spawned when specifically instructed. Their cards feature two movement icons meaning that swarms with Broodlords will move twice as often as normal swarms. Also, every time a player rolls the combat die to defend against a Broodlord swarm, subtracts 1 from the die roll. If that weren't deadly enough, Broodlords must be the last Genestealer killed in a particular swarm. Meaning players will have to slay all other Genestealers before being able to attack the Broodlord.
With these factors in mind, combat is initiated in one of two ways: when an Attack action card is resolved, or during the Genestealer Attack phase. In both instances the combat die is rolled, modifiers are added in, and results are applied.
In the example above, the players controlling Brother Noctis (green) and Brother Scipio (grey) both played attack Action Cards. Brother Noctis has a range of 2, allowing him to attack the Genestealers numbered 1 and 3. He decides to attack the one he is engaged with (1), rolling a skull and slaying the Genestealer. Brother Scipio is facing to the right and has a range of 2, allowing him to attack the Genestealer numbered 2. He does not roll a skull and thus fails in protecting Noctis from an upcoming rear attack!
Combat is fast and brutal in Death Angel, so try not to blink too often.
Check back next time when we explore the Sin of Damnation, learning about Locations and Events!
Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game is a cooperative card game for 1-6 players. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, players take on the roles of Space Marines pitted against the increasing hordes of Genestealers.
Hurry up already!!!!!!
I can not wait no longer!
I like this combat design, particularly since it adapts so well to the number of players. Someone playing solo has to keep an eye on the overall combat, making sure to keep track of which character has the range to help out others, and so on, while multiple players have to work in unison to help each other without leaving gaps in their defense. It seems simplistic, but I imagine there is a great deal of depth that will be revealed in more teasers. Definitely a buy for me as well.
Why do you torture us by posting teasers for this!?!
Release it already so I can purchase 10 copies!
This is definitely a day-one buy for me.
This looks awesome with every new preview!!!
So stoked! This game looks badass.:)
I need to pre-order it with my local game store.
Sweet. Scipio rocks.

Cupcakes 4 Cats at 16th Street Mall (Friday, $5)
You know what's more appealing than 600 cupcakes? Nothing, actually. But Cupcakes 4 Cats takes away your guilt by donating the money you spent on the sugary sweets directly to the Cat Care Society.
Fast Forward Release Party at Mercury Café (Friday, free)
Flash fiction might not be the post popular form of literature, but it should be. The premise is simple, self-contained, very short stories that don't top a word count higher than 1,000. If that sounds like your cup of tea, then you really need to pick up the new issue of Flash Forward, a literary magazine dedicated to all things flash fiction from the big to the small. Tonight will also feature plenty of readings from the authors in the collection, a contest and more.

Quick question:
The number of dropship pass tokens is limited to 5, which is the number of players.
Quote from the rulebook: "Floyd is at Adams Garden, but really needs to get back to Haas-Bioroid in a hurry, so he spends one of his dropship passes"
With this info I get a paradox. On one hand seeing as the number of passes is the same as the number of players, I´d assume that each player can only have 1 dropship pass at a time (which is what we have been playing with) which makes sure that no player can hoard the passes.
On the other hand this quote from page 18 of the rulebook, more than suggests that players can have more than 1 dropship pass (which doesn´t seem logical to me tbh)
So which of these 2 statements is true?:
1) a player can have only 1 dropship pass at a time or
2) a player can have all of the dropship passes he can get his hands on

Hi - what factors do I need to consider when looking at New Construction windows vs. Replacement windows? What are the pros/cons, and what should be the deciding factor. We're looking to replace all of our windows but not like-for-like i.e. replace a twin double hung with a twin casement. If it's not like-for-like then is new construction the only way to go? Thanks |

Not being "like for like" does not necessitate new construction. You are dealing with an empty opening whether you are installing into a buck frame or a rough opening. Replacement style is a nice choice for most people. New construction (full tear-out) is a better choice when you have existing water management issues, substantial structural frame damage/rot, or you are very concerned about the potential loss of glass area. The pros of replacement are cost ( typically a couple hundred + ), your interior woodwork is not disturbed, and a far less intensive installation. Did I mention that there is a MAJOR cost difference? ;) |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 20:14
The downside to not like type windows is the double hung and casement windows are typically not the same size which will make replacement units not in the correct size for your home. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 22:42
MWM, I don't follow... Could you elaborate? |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 7:39
lol, just reread my post and I confused myself sorry. Typical Double sizes are different the typical casements and using replacement windows a 3'-0" x 5'-6" current double hung opening would make for a odd size casement replacement unit was my point and vice versa. |
MWM a 24 x 42 casement woud be the sae size as a 24 x 42 doule hung. im more confused than homeseaed. obviously im missing something. to the question, homesealed really summed it up well. |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 10:20
Yes they would be the same but what I meant and am doing a poor job of typing it is a 3'-0" x 5'-6" Dbl Hung would be fine in a house where as a 3'-0" x 5'-6" casement would look odd and be somewhat unusual. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 15:05
Very true... The size and orientation of the opening will lend itself to some configurations more than others, like an opening that is wider than it is tall would look more natural as a slider than a DH in most cases. Definitely something to be mindful of :) |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 15:47
LOL, sorry it took me three posts to get that point out. I was thinking that exact thought but could not get it to my fingers. |

After what might be its roughest off-season ever, pro racing is changing for the better
A cycling catalog arrived in the mail yesterday, and as I was flipping through its glossy pages I happened to stop at the clothing section—in particular, at the undershirts. I was reminded of the time, a while ago, when a friend who worked in the bicycle industry hunched closer to me then peered around cautiously before claiming in a hushed voice, "It's cycling's worst-kept secret that ________ uses our baselayer. He's not even sponsored by us!"
With my mind now distracted from the eye candy splayed across the pages in front of me, my thoughts wandered to a similar incident, when an insider told me that at a certain three-week race in France, a team had used his wheels instead of those made by the sponsor, applying stickers to the rims to appear compliant. This was also, according to that friend, the worst-kept secret in cycling.
These days, of course, every one of us knows what the worst-kept secret really was.
I always think of the off-season as the Two Months of Christmas. Free from the demands of racing and training, I can enjoy the seasonal beers that crowd the shelves. I hear of new teammates who will be joining my squad. When I find out I'll be outfitted by this or that new sponsor in the coming year, I feel like a giddy six-year-old on December 24th. This off-season was one drenched with negativity. Teams folded, sponsors throughout the sport pulled the plug, and it seemed as if almost every week headlines broke of yet another allegation or doping confession.
Yet my love for the sport never wavered. Maybe it's because I was focused less on cycling's worst-kept secret than its best-kept one: Professional racing is changing for the better.
I know you've heard this before, whether you're a longtime fan who lived through the Festina scandal in 1998 or a more recent follower grappling with the complexities of an era in which legal action—from Italy to America—seems more effective than any amount of scientific drug testing. You've heard that cycling is cleaning up for real this time, that the testing is better than ever, that there's no way we would risk our health. "No one really knows," you might say, and in some sense, I agree with you.
Beginning with Bernhard Kohl's now-famous proclamation that he passed half of his 200 tests with drugs in his body, we have seen that the tests remain beatable. And in the absence of a groundbreaking change regarding the penalties and punishments for positive tests, I don't think the risk-versus-reward ratio is currently a strong enough deterrent. Finally, of course, as opposed to guilt there is no foolproof way to confirm innocence. So I understand that when I tell you that cycling is not just cleaner but is undergoing a massive ethical change, whether you agree with me or not comes down to whether you trust me—and that, as a group, we professional racers have made that tough.
But I believe that the newest generation of riders is different.
In some ways, professional cycling has always had an appearance of openness to the public: To an extent unlike that of any other major sport on the planet, we do almost all of our training on open, public roads, and we race through a sea of people who are a mere arm's reach from the action. That's still true, but my generation of cyclists is embracing the idea of transparency to a degree that's unprecedented. Our affinity for social media means that you know where most of us are, who we're with, and what we're doing not just on a daily basis, but sometimes by the minute, and nearly instantaneously. We're also speaking out more frequently and loudly: Rather than being silenced by an unwritten omerta as was the case in previous eras, the voices of discontent with doping, which once were no more than ripples that quietly ebbed outward from the peloton, have grown into swells of ever-increasing size.
I didn't ride through the previous era of pro cycling. I don't think it's possible to compare a past I never experienced with the way I am living in the present. I and other riders around my age might never completely understand the context those riders lived in—but we are witnessing, right now and firsthand, the consequences. We have seen how the choices that those other riders made are turning out to have ramifications far greater than a temporary suspension from the sport—effects that extend beyond the realm of athletics into life, livelihood, and family.
All of these factors are helping us forge a cleaner sport. (I don't imagine any major professional sport could ever be absolutely clean.) While I can say that I believe with 99.9 percent certainty that the majority of my friends in pro cycling are clean, there is only one person I know with 100 percent conviction to be that way: myself. That's okay. I think of this as "drop-in-the-bucket advocacy." I know where I stand on cheating—an emphatic no—and all I can do is trust that hundreds of riders around me with the same perspective will collectively fill the bucket until there is almost no room in the sport for the idea of doping.
All I can really ask of you is the same—that you do what you can, in your own way, to fill the bucket.

Would you believe it! A vector and pixel-based painting package rolled into one… from Microsoft!
The name is misleading. This software, previewed here at beta stage, is a surprisingly powerful and useful tool for digital artists. Microsoft is busy pushing it in the direction of developers wanting to create better interfaces for Vista, but digital artists may remember it from its days at Japanese software company, Creature House. Now you can download it for free (while it's at beta stage) and it's an incredible tool with a mass of amazing features.
Expression GD impresses because it combines the flexibility of vector graphics with the subtlety of painting with pixels. The software differentiates these two ways of working by asking you to work on separate vector and pixel layers – with the toolbox, brush list and other tools changing contextually as you switch between different kinds of layers.
If you're not used to Bézier editing, this may be an unfamiliar way to work, but once mastered it becomes natural. And you can scale your artwork to any size without reducing quality.
Pixel painting is also impressive. While you're not getting the flexibility and brush control of Painter, there are a good amount of brushes on offer. Crucially, you can create your own brushes, too. Several image-editing tools are offered, enabling you to control the usual hue and saturation, and apply a number of effects.

Then, one day, the stars aligned and I found a sweet cooler deal online at Walmart.com. Twenty dollars for this 48 quart Coleman cooler set, a day-long sesh with Google Sketchup, and a pile of lumber later, and I had the makings of the coolest Father's Day gift on record.
Months ago, I requested my husband start saving bottle caps so that I could do something crafty with them. He took this task seriously and began buying every fancy beer he could find so he could "Give me a nice variety of caps" (his words, not mine). I wasn't sure his liver could take it, but he isn't one to back down from a challenge. Everybody has to contribute something around here. Thanks, hon.
This cooler stand is made out of basic lumber, has an attached drain, and optional wheels if you need it to be mobile. I chose a blue colorwash for a vibrant look and an inset panel with grouted bottle caps to make it fun. I would keep this out of the weather as the printing on the caps will fade over time if it is left in direct sunlight. I am giving specific measurements for this particular cooler. Of course, you will have to custom fit your cooler stand if you use a different size and your materials list may vary.
Nooo-ho-ho; they take a month with the kiddos on deck.
So while we are working, he is trying to guess what I am making:
He guessed a planter box. Really?
Whatever. His work was done. Leave me to my cooler building, Babe.
First, I measured a scrap of ¾" plywood to fit the space, pre-drilled pocket holes on to the back for 1 ½" pocket screws and came inside for a cool drink and some quiet time. I gathered all of the bottle caps my husband has so painstakingly amassed, and began to place them on the board. I used staggered rows of caps, and when I got to the far edge, I had to break out the hammer to smash one side of the caps so they would fit within the board space. There are all kinds of glue out there. I happened to have a hot glue gun handy. It was quick, but probably not the best application. I had to keep regluing caps when I finally mounted the board into the stand.
I showed my husband my handiwork and I swear he almost teared up. He started pointing to caps, saying "I remember when I drank this beer" "…and this one." Geez.
Good question. The plastic lid itself will not rest flush with the bottom edge of the wooden lid. It needs to be bumped out a little so that when it closes it will fit tight to the cooler bottom. You can glue shims to the inside of the wooden case to make the plastic lid bump out and sit flush with the edge of the lid cover OR you can run your 1x3 and 1x2 frame pieces through a table saw and shave off a quarter inch BEFORE building the lid and it will be PERFECT. You choose.
I found a nice sturdy handle that is large enough for a man's hand. A clean look to finish things out. It's coming along nicely. Now we need a shelf, a pull handle, and wheels.
These pins have a spring around the barrel that gives a snug fit. I used a hammer and gently tapped the wheels in until they were completely inserted.
What better drink for the World's Greatest Dad than one with his name on it?
Linking up and partying here:

Debunking Diabetes with The Diabetes Protocol
Being as though diabetes causes more deaths a year than cancer and AIDS combined, it is certainly reasonable that the disease has generated many frightening stereotypes and stigmas. However, when treated properly, it is not that serious of a disease. One of the most common misconceptions about people with diabetes is that that they are not allowed to eat sweet foods. This is simply not true. When those with diabetes manage their sweet tooth properly, they too can enjoy sweet foods when the occasion arises. A great program that will teach you exactly what you can eat when you are suffering from diabetes is the diabetes protocol.
Getting the Facts
According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes can eat sweets and desserts when combined with other healthy habits. With proper exercise and a healthy meal plan, people with type one or type two diabetes can safely enjoy their favorite sweets on occasion. As the holiday season quickly approaches, it is important for those with diabetes to understand the best ways to prepare themselves for the endless amounts for desserts that are soon to be at family dinner parties across the nation.
Managing Your Intake
In order to be able to enjoy those delectable holiday desserts without putting your blood sugar levels in danger, you need to keep an eye on a few things. It is important to be fully aware of what you are eating, the portion size of what you are eating, and the carbohydrate, sugar and calorie contents of everything you eat. Natural sugars such as those that come from sugar cane, beet roots and honeybees contain carbohydrates and calories and affect your blood sugar levels. Most foods that contain natural sugars will list the types on their ingredient labels. However, be aware that they are often listed as "sucrose" or "fructose." Staying away from natural sugars is a smart way to maintain your blood sugar level.
Another more popular and enjoyable way to avoid carbohydrates and calories in your sweets is to use a sugar substitute. Although sugar substitutes may sound harmful as they are not "natural," there is no scientific proof that they will have a negative effect on your body. However, it has been proven that sugar substitutes indeed do not elevate your blood sugar levels. In regards to those delicious holiday desserts that tickle your sweet tooth, don't worry, there are sugar substitutes that you can use in the baked goods you bring to the table. But be aware, some sugar substitutes made for baking are blended with white or brown sugar. So again, be sure to read labels!
Enjoy Your Holiday
If you have either type one of type two diabetes, with the right approach, you can still enjoy some great holiday sweets. It is important to be aware of your calorie and carbohydrate intake throughout the day so you know how much more you can afford to consume before eating a dessert. Natural sugars will have a greater impact on your blood sugar levels, so try to avoid them and use substitutes. If you are unsure of the types of sweets that will be served, you can always wow the crowd with your healthy-baked alternative!

Quoted from Jared I am consuming about a dozen teaspoons of it daily. What is it supposed to do?
Quoted from BluesSinger so on Dr. D's Trehalose , it says to take 1 level tsp twice daily in warm water with lemon. Anyone know what the lemon does? Can I just take it with warm water?
Quoted from BluesSinger Also 1 level tsp.. is that a dinner tsp or an actual measuring tsp? thanks much! it says it's for brain and nerve health. Protein build up??? Never heard that before.
Quoted from ABJoe The lemon helps the body rid itself of waste.To make sure you are dosing properly, you need to use an accurate measure. If this requires you to use measuring spoon, so be it.All cells make protein components as part of the growing / splitting cycle. There are times when the components are not made properly (called mis-folded proteins). Trehalose stimulates the cells to break these mis-folded proteins back into components to be reused to make correct products as needed by the cells.
Quoted from BluesSinger ...what's our experience on the supp? BTW.. my tummy issues are going away!
Quoted from Chloe What would be a typical side effect from taking too much TC? A toxic feeling?
Quoted from Adam For me it was more like an anxiety attack. I either had to get moving or suffer the consequences. At first, I kinda liked it. But, after a while, I didn't care for that "up up and away" feeling it gave me. I'm more of a Cortiguard or Tranquility Base type of person. Something that will mellow me out.
Quoted from Chloe I'm with you on the need to feel mellowed out. Maybe you took too much too quickly.What amount did you start with? And did you ever increase that initial dose? Curious how long after beginning TC did you start having issues and whether it was due to taking a higher dose at some point or not.
Quoted from Adam I started with 1/2 teaspoon and worked it up from there. Initially, it was like the famous thread title "This is definitely Wow!" I got used to it over time as my body adapted to it. But, honestly, I was wondering what this concentrated substance was really doing to me. Yes, I know the mantra "Trust Dr D", but still I was just unsure about it. Also, timing it so that you don't have it with caffeine, etc. was an issue with me. I think maybe when I retire, I might try it again and have it mid-morning during some exercise, so I can then time it right and then burn off all the energy. Right now, though, I have to sit at a desk 8 hours a day, and my exercise is two 15-minute breaks a day (morning and afternoon) to walk through the building. And that's enough for my type and the amount of weight I'm currently carrying around.
Quoted from Chloe Maybe your body was happy on 1/2 tsp of TC and taking more was too much for yourcurrent activity level. My DH is a Warrior too. Having read about a Warrior's predisposition for specific diseases on this website and in the GTD book, I know that they have health issues related to rapid aging. Trehalose increases autophagy and.....Quote from Dr. D "Slower aging is also associated with increased autophagy." So if you were questioning if trehalose was helpful for you....you're currently 50 and a Warrior....time to start slowing down your aging process
Quoted from Adam I know what you're saying, but, still... isn't the SWAMI and it's current supplement recommendations what I'm supposed to follow? Trehalose Complex is not mentioned in my SWAMI supplement recommendations.
Quoted from Adam But, it's ok if I don't take it.
Quoted from yaeli Hi Adam, in order to have TC somewhere during working hours you would need to find "a break from coffee" for 2 hours and a 1/4, 1 hour before and after, plus 15 minutes to enjoy the drink.
Quoted from BluesSinger Does this supplement make one feel more energetic and if so.. I shouldn't take it close to bedtime?
Quoted from ABJoe Yes. When I take too much, I feel great for about 2 days then crash really hard due to the immense toxin flush. I haven't found a way to supplement enough to keep the filtration systems functioning through the "big dump".

Feb 25, 2013 11:56 AM by Tiffany Murphy - KAJ News
KALISPELL - It's a program that's been around for years. Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW), is designed to give women a chance to learn about outdoor sports that are normally male dominated.
Reporter Tiffany Murphy went on special assignment to the frozen shores of Peterson Lake to in the sport of ice fishing.
Women from across the Treasure State joined together at a small Bigfork camp to learn how to fish, meet new friends and return home with some great fish stories.
While organizers say that men aren't patient enough to teach women, that wasn't the case during this fishing expedition. The women had five hours of classroom activity before our lines went in the water.
Organizers say events like this are really about empowering women, having fun and learning a new sport. The folks taking part each had different reasons for taking part.
"I hear by husband talk about ice fishing, and I want to learn, so I can relate to him," Jan Manning said.
"Learn in depth that they can do anything they want in outdoors towards the end empowerment, have knowledge, skills," added participant Kim Driscoll.
It really was a no frills weekend, and that's what many really liked.
"[It's] nice this dosen't need a lot of equipment. Put [a] hook [on], set up [and] go," Manning commented.
But some hi-tech tools were used to see what was going on down in the water. And while we were having fun, even though we weren't catching fis, .there were a few complaints.
"It's just the cold thing, but we live in Montana so I guess we have to get used to that," observed Raylene Wall of Polson.
Everyone took their turn catching a fish, including small yellow perch. Click here to learn more about the Becoming an Outdoors Woman program.

In folklore, any of a race of supernatural beings who have magic powers and sometimes meddle in human affairs. Some have been described as of human size, while others are little people only a few inches high. The term was first used in medieval Europe. Fairy lore is especially common in Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, and Scotland. Though usually beneficent in modern children's stories, the fairies of the past were powerful and sometimes dangerous beings who could be friendly, mischievous, or cruel, depending on their whim. Fairies were thought to be beautiful, to live much longer than human beings, and to lack souls. They sometimes carried off human infants and left changelings as substitutes. They occasionally took human lovers, but to enter fairyland was perilous for humans, who were obliged to remain forever if they ate or drank there. See also leprechaun.
