Product Description
"I did not know I had so many tears."
When Michael Wilcox's wife, Laurie, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor that would ultimately take her life, he began keeping a journal to record what he was learning about living, loving, and grieving. Although at the time he was not intending that it would ever be published, he gradually came to recognize our "sacred covenant to share our burdens, our mourning, our comforts, and our witnesses."
The lessons he offers in this thoughtful and sensitive book are more than a chronicle of his own journey; they are important reminders to all of us to cherish every day we have with the people we love, to treasure the gift of our mortality, and to turn to the Lord in all our trials.

Chapter 1
The Eternal Reach
. . . The widest Land
Doom takes to part us leaves thy heart in mine
With pulses that beat double. What I do
And what I dream include thee . . .
Sonnet Six
The Gordian Knot
There is a story told of Alexander the Great while he was on his way to conquering the known world. He faced the puzzle of the Gordian knot, a tangle of rope so complicated that no one could untie it. I remember visualizing this knot when young, wondering in my imagination if I could have succeeded better than the great Alexander. There were no ends seen to the knot as the rope twisted and turned upon itself, hiding the beginning and the end within the interior mass of the fibers. Alexander failed, and in a final act of frustration this man of action drew his sword and sliced through the rope, severing its coils and scattering them on the ground. He could conquer the world, defeat the mighty Persian Empire, but was defeated himself by the mystery of entwining cords.
I have thought of this story over the last months as I have tried to endure the dying of my wife, Laurie. My thoughts turn upon themselves and I cannot find a beginning and ending, a way through. My emotions are so varied and changing, sometimes within seconds. Fear, doubt, love, grief, empathy, longing, hope, acceptance, denial, faith all find their place in the turnings of my mind. Then there are the questions—above all the questions. There is also the physical element of grief, which reminds me of nightmares I had as a boy when panic would grip my stomach, wash upward into my chest, and hold me motionless in the darkness. Grief feels like that sometimes. It hurts, physically hurts. It is a constricting, suffocating pain. At the emotional-physical level it is first cousin to being terrified.
I am grateful that anger at God has not as yet found a place in my tangle of feelings, but I can understand how it could. Perhaps that is the first great lesson I am learning: that God can take our most precious thing, can allow the severing of a part of ourselves, and we can still love and trust Him. But is He taking her, as if it were some part of His plan? We speak in these terms so commonly, but I doubt He is.
I don't think there is a determined time for each of us to go. Life happens, and even God shares our sorrow at its ability to stun us, but He has a much larger perspective. I think He would say to us, "Laurie and Mike, I'm sorry this terrible thing has happened. I wish you could have those many future years you dreamed of sharing, but I cannot save everyone whom cancer has appointed to die. The hollow your grief creates I will one day fill with joy. Everything will pass and all will be well." Does the scriptural phrase "appointed unto death" (Doctrine and Covenants 42:48) mean God has decided "our time to go," or has life brought its own unwelcomed conclusions? At any rate, we are promised that "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
Sometimes the rush of emotions becomes so constant it feels like there is not enough air in the world to draw in and contain them from spilling out, usually in the form of tears. I have to breathe deeply to stay in control. How can I make sense of them all? We are all grieving in our own ways—one daughter in her need for her mother, another in the painful memories of those last weeks, the boys in a certain quiet, numbing puzzlement, and me in my nervous anxieties, ceaseless internal discussions, and relentless longing for my perfected Laurie of a thousand combined memories. It is all sometimes so confusing. I was so used to being in control, knowing what I wanted and where I was going. There were few ambiguities, and certitude was my expectation. Much is being challenged. Now my uncertainties seem to pull the knot into an unyielding tension.
The more one wrestled to untie the Gordian knot, the tighter it became and the less yielding of its secret. Watching one you love pass through the struggle of ending life is like that. You feel lost in a maze of emotions, sentiments, and turmoil, and there is no Ariadne to hand you the clue of thread to find your way out of the labyrinth.
And what of Laurie's thoughts? They must matter more than mine, yet of them I was largely ignorant. Hers I did not really know, though I could guess them, for the cancer had stopped her ability to communicate. But even if it had not silenced her speech, she was not one who opened her mind easily. The thought that she was dying was too threatening for her. She turned from it. I do not believe it was the fear of the unknown that troubled her. She just wanted to live; "living is so dear" (Thoreau, Walden, 81). So we survived day by day without her expressing what she was feeling and thinking.
One with Humanity
I will write—but not from my head primarily, as always in the past—for writing seems to bring with it a clarifying and ordering of my thoughts and my faith, and there is a renewing. Perhaps it will do the same with emotions. God has so often filled my mind with His truth while I was writing; surely He will do so now at the level of the soul. I write for my own peace and solace, but also in the hope that those who face the passing of their own dear ones and labor to make sense of it, to wrap their hearts and souls and minds and future lives around it, may possibly find some measure of understanding through a shared experience. My life had been so comfortable. Things I had once called trials seem so minimal now. Perhaps the graciousness of the life God had allotted me had separated me too much from the majority of my fellow men. I thought I could empathize with them, had empathized with them. Now I think, "So this is what so many for so long have endured!"
There is healing in the flow and ripple of words. Both grief and love must be expressed somehow, someway—grief that it may lessen or at least become endurable, and love because to speak it, to share it, to open the heart, intensifies it and increases it, lets it grow out in the open air and light. Unexpressed love dies, suffocating in the confining, restricted space of the self. One thing I believe above all else: Laurie's early death has taught me a great deal about loving and being loved. All of love's expressions—affection and romance, the spiritual and the physical, the emotional and the familial, its quiet acceptance and its passionate yearning for otherness, learning and sharing, forgiving and sacrificing, woman and wife, intimate lover and devoted friend, the needed and searched-for help—meet for all dimensions of a joined life. Did she realize how much she took with her in her passing? Do I yet realize it? Do we feel how much life was filled until the emptiness left teaches us its volume? Yet the loving remains and grows and is itself a kind of filling. Death breaks the heart, but in living, most of the deepest sorrow seeps out through the cracks until love can seal them and replenish the hollowed-out spaces. But the heart remains touch-tender—and oh, the little things the magnet of our longing is drawn toward.
Someone asked me, "What do you miss most?"
"Holding hands while walking; feeling her fingers on my arm; her insistence that I always stand one step down to compensate for our difference in height; calling her 'little one'; her voice singing Mary's Lullaby; sensing her smile on my face when I'm not looking; seeing love in her eyes," I answered, and then turned away as a hundred other tiny "everythings" flooded back.
The Backward Yearning
When it became apparent that we could not win the battle against the cancer, Laurie's mother asked what she could do for me. I told her I wanted the picture of Laurie that used to sit on the piano in their home in Alberta. She was almost eighteen, her age when I first met her. I remember the first time I saw that picture. Laurie and I were dating, and I had driven with her to Canada to attend her sister's wedding and to meet her family. Somehow the turning of her head, the downward flow of her hair, the simplicity of her smile, and the open lighting of her eyes caught some essence about her. It was pure Laurie captive in time. I had coveted that picture for almost forty years, so I asked my mother-in-law if I could now have it. She brought it to Utah with her, along with many other photographs of Laurie as a child growing up.
I realized as I turned through the pages of her past that I loved her at every age. Though I had not met her until she was a freshman in college, I fell in love with the five-year-old in curls and ribbons, the ten-year-old vacationing in Waterton Park, the fifteen-year-old high school student walking through the snow of Alberta with her books. I had seen these pictures before, they were not new to me, but as I went through her past I realized a new dimension of eternal love.
We speak of the everlasting nature of love, its infinite scope (only Mormons truly believe all the love songs and have as their most sacred ordinance the verification of that belief). I always imagined that ceaseless, eternal love as stretching down the long corridor of welcoming time, past horizons, past setting suns and turning galaxies, but my vision was always a future one, of time unspent. Now I feel it pulling me backwards, through every moment of her childhood, her growing preparatory years, the seasons of dolls and dances, first lipstick and earrings, times that I did not share with her but that were now as precious as if I had always known her, always loved her, had never lived without her. And I sense in this backward yearning that when the day comes that veils and closed doors will part and open, the reach of love will encompass all the eons of the past so that eventually there will never be a time when I did not love her.
I am not speaking of the commonly held—with just a touch of Mormon folklore—belief that we knew and loved each other in a premortal life. It is not that! But something deeper, more holy, first created, initially begun, in the temple, at the altar, there where the eternal motion toward both future and past begins its infinite longing reach. I look through the chaining chambers of reflected eternity in temple mirrors differently now. She is in each reflection: those that stretch before me with such promise and those that reach comfortably behind me like a familiar landscape or the peace of going home. Was she ever not there? Was there ever a time I did not love her? No, it seems in this that love is retrospective and captures all the moments of the past and makes them part of the now, one eternal round, all things in the present, time in perfect wholeness, union before union. Ironically it is death, the perceived ender of things, that has given me this gift of enhanced ages. Shakespeare spoke of "love-devouring death," but would not the proper name be love-engendering death?
Beautiful Tribute

This is one of the most moving things I have ever read. It gives a very personal tribute and also shares with the reader a very private grief. It is uplifting and hopeful. I think anyone would benefit from reading and re-reading this book.
Impactful reading even for those of us fortunate to still have our spouse
by Doug - reviewed on August 20, 2012
I recently spent three incredibly intense hours listening to Michael Wilcox speak about his experience with the loss of his wife. Then I read this beautiful book and experienced that same depth of emotion. Michael's words reach deep into the heart and fill you with gratitude for any life fortunate enough to be filled with a loving companion. Deeply grateful to have read this while I still have the gift of time to share with my wife.

I want to increase my stock of Asiatic lilies by growing on the offsets. I have about 200 growing together at the moment in 3 large stock pots in rich soil (3x67!). The bulbs are still quite small, about the size of a chick pea.
My question is: what sort of timescale should I be thinking about for moving them on? I'm thinking about potting them on individually into 4 or 5 inch pots eventually until they are ready to go into the border, so I can keep them in rich compost. Our garden soil is too poor otherwise and I don't have a nursery area. How long before I do this? We have a very mild climate so they will be in growth throughout the winter. Now is summer! |

Are you able to give your bulbs a cold period (vernalization), possibly in a refrigerator? You can google vernalization for lilies and get some better ideas. The following link also has some info. You can also e-mail them and ask your questions . Good luck. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lily growing info

It's only really practical for me to vernalize a handful of adult bulbs. I was hoping I could keep these small ones in growth until they are big enough to pot on. |
I start them in 4" pots also and I move them anytime. |

Apple Filed Patent App for New More Dense Battery with Longer Life
Of all the research conducted around the world, the research that has some of the most life-altering potential for all sorts of products is the common battery. Batteries today are in computers, smartphones, cars, and lots more places. A battery that can hold more power has the potential to usher in a new era in gadget performance and driving range for electric vehicles. Equally important as storing lots of power in a battery, is a battery that can last a long time and survive lots of charge cycles.
Apple has filed a patent app for a new battery that is the same physical size as existing batteries, but has a longer usable life and more power inside. The patent app is called, "Increasing Energy Density in Rechargeable Lithium Battery Cells." The app outlines a way to charge a battery using what Apple calls "multi-step constant-current constant-voltage (CC-CV) charging technique."
Apple would use the CC-CV technique to allow the thickness of the anode active material in the battery to be increase in volumetric and gravimetric density. Using a charging process that uses less current when the battery is more charged would also prevent the battery usable life from being shortened due to heat. The app was filed back in 2009, and there is no word on when or if the tech will find its way into notebooks and other gear.

Are archeotech components subject to the craftsmanship rules on pg.18 of Battlefleet Koronus? Also, can Archeotech components use the archeotech upgrade rules in Stars of Iniqiuity?
Archeotech Question
Posted 15 June 2013 - 01:47 PM
Posted 15 June 2013 - 09:09 PM
There is nothing stating that Archeotech components cannot be of variable quality. Consider that after 15,000 years (at the most recent) can cause even the most advanced of components to start to degrade. Therefore you can have Poor quality components, or better quality ones that have endured better.
I would be very careful about modifying Archeotech components using the rules in Stars of Inequity. They are allready more advanced and powerful, and further modifying them might make them unballanced. I generally use either Archeotech components from one of the various books, or more normal components modified by the Stars of Inequity rules.
Posted 16 June 2013 - 01:08 PM
I'm pretty sure the main rulebook states that Archaeotech is already considered Best-Quality? Don't have the book on me tho, so no page reference.
Posted 18 June 2013 - 09:26 AM
I do not have my RT book with me ( loaned it to a prospective player ), but it makes sense that some pieces of archeotech is in better shape than others - perhaps common archeotech would be the same as best current tech, good AT is only slightly better in some way and best is again only slightly better representing something that might have been in stasis, while poor AT is about the same as good current tech.
At the same time make availability, acquisition and costs at least one step higher. If a piece of poor or common AT is acquired, alow it to be repairable, but only after some very serious repair and archeotech rolls are made, and if the repair / archeotech rolls fail by much then the quality drops one step - major roll failuer should result in the item becoming so much expensive junk.
Posted 19 June 2013 - 01:41 PM
Note that in Stars of Inequity you still have to roll for quality (although with a +3 bonus). I am unaware of anyplace where it says that Archeotech is always best quality either. If there was, then you would think that Stars of Inequity would have simply said that all Archeotech is Best quality instead of having you roll for it.

Yup, my mistake, looking through the books now that I have them on hand again, I don't know where I got that idea. Its just stuck in my brain for some reason.
Posted 19 June 2013 - 03:02 PM
It is honestly how many people in the Imperium would think of it. Archeotech is automatically better, the height of human engineering and impossible to reproduce. Of course, it may have sat in a steaming jungle for thousands of year. Even with their advanced engineering, its performance has degraded to the point where it jams constantly.
Posted 27 June 2013 - 12:02 AM
Well, I for one want my Best Quality, Modified Drive, Potent, Lathe 2b!
Or my Best Quality, Imposing, Bridge of Antiquity!
Or my Best Quality (Range, Size), Potent, Staravar Laser Macrobattery, with Best-Quality Turbo-Weapon Batteries and Best Quality Targeting Matrix!
Or my Best Quality (Range, Crit), Potent, Star-Flare Lance, with Best Quality Targeting Matrix! (get a critical hit with every 1 DoS!)
Or my Best Quality, Steady, Ancient Life Sustainer
…How many ship points do each of these cost?
Posted 27 June 2013 - 12:51 PM
But, to answer the question for anyone who may not think of it, the Stars of Inequity components don't list a SP cost. Nor would I allow them as starting ship equipment for players. They are the sort of thing you scour the expanse for, and a reason to actually go out and explore. The modifiers are pretty variable in their value, as some are 'WOW' and some are 'eh, whatever'. A Best, compact modified transport 2 drive would be 3 space, 41 power, +1 speed, +3 Maneuverability. That is at least Unique, and not something I would let the players get purely via aquisition. It is also a huge bullseye on your ship. I generally only use the Stars of Inequity modifiers on non-archeotech gear. The idea being that specific archeotech gear already includes modifiers for being archeotech. I do use quality with either of them, as there is a chance that they have degraded from their original Best quality.
As for availability later in game, I make a judgement call on each item based on similar items already in the books. A compact plasma drive is actually a little weaker than a modified drive, so I leave the base availability at ER. A Potent and Steady, Good quality M-201.b Auger array is much more effective than any other equivalent auger array (and provides a huge Morale bonus). I would rate it at -60 (NU-10 for Good Quality). The players finding that was a big deal, even though they had to return to a forge world to get it mounted properly. (Remember that the skill with which it is mounted effects quality, you can't get a Best quality component mounted at the Breaking Yards) Normally, such rare archeotech components are not available for purchase easily. Most Rogue Traders would much rather use the component themselves. My players actually have a Archeotech Best Hecutor Plasma Battery hidden on their main colony, just to save it for when they get the Grand Cruiser they have as a long term goal.
Posted 28 June 2013 - 04:00 PM
To me an interesting thing is something like…
"An Imposing, Good Power Exploration Bridge"
or a
"Compact, Good Power Clemency Life Sustainer"
To me, those sorts of things are better than 'Bridge of Antiquity' or 'Ancient Life Sustainer'.
I don't know whether the Stars of Inequity stuff should be able to be double stacked ("Best Quality, Compact, Incalculable Precision!"), or if they should apply to things that are made archeotech via other means, like 'modified drive', which seems to be the same as 'compact'.
I definitely like applying 'Good' and 'Best' to archeotech -- however it is made.
I tend to feel that things like 'cargo containers' and 'crew quarters' and so on tend to be difficult to reduce in size by good or best quality, though. It just seems… counterintuitive that things which are generally empty space can be reduced in size and still be effective without some sort of spatial compression going on.
And something that DOES have some sort of 'it's bigger on the inside!' better be freaky as all hell.
Is it a plasma battery or a plasma broadside? Because a small ship could hold the battery. And which archeotech bonus did you use?
Posted 28 June 2013 - 11:46 PM
I have only rolled one Archeotech items to date that had two modifiers. You only get that if you roll a 10 on the Archeotech chart. That is the new Auger Array on their ship and they are very glad to have it. (2 power, +10 Detection, +6 Morale)
I allow the stacking only if rolled, and those components are going to be Unique level items. They are also going to be highly desired by those who will kill you for your boots…
I see Good/Best cargo and crew quarters as having both better layout and better equipment. A cargo hold with advanced lifter cranes and data looms that track where every item is automatically. It may be a smaller cargo hold, but it is much more efficient in how it stores things. Crew quarters include better storage solutions for the crew, and more fold-out ammenities. An archeotech cargo hold might even use large stasis fields to protect the cargo and allow perishables to be transported in perfect condition. It would be smaller, but you could preserve the value of the cargo better. That would allow it to give the same bonus, just with less space.
It was a Hecutor Plasma Battery with the Imposing Archeotech quality of Best quality (Extra range/better crit). They tend to go for long range and good crit, and the Arch Militant has rolled consistantly under 20 for the majority of his shots in a couple of battles. The Exporator has even started to investigate if their is possible Warp influence on his shots…

Welcome to the forum.
Do you actually plan to send this letter to Brita?
Here's my letter Please Help!!
To the manager of BRITA
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my frustrations about the advertisement I saw today. I am referring to the advertisement which shows Oil coming out of a women's/ men's mouth.
To begin with, This is an inappropriate advertisement. Which can cause misunderstanding and lead to fear. The children who see this advertisement can get nightmares or get frightened if they do not know what the advertisements about. This ad is took exposed publicly and might affect the wrong audiences.
To make matters worse, The text in the advertisement is not quite clear so, the audiences who view it might not be able to understand the advertisement. Because the text blends in with the advertisement.
I would like to suggest changing the advertisement and making it more appropriate for every one. The advertisement can be improved by placing oil tanks on the advertisement to show the 16 gallons of Oil or just using plastic bottles consumed to make the advertisement more appropriate. But if you cannot apply these changes then I wish to remove this advertisement from the public eye. If you do not take these steps,I will not hesitate to report this advertisement.
I look forward to hearing back from you
Yours Faithfully,
(My signature)
Here is the advertisement I'm going to complain to. (Credits to BRITA for the picture I do not own this ad )

Art Review
When an artist is successful, the assembled whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When a curator is successful, the whole is not necessarily greater, but creates tension and visual dialogue among artists seeing the same formal element in different ways.
At Katie Gingrass Gallery, pastel artist Jody dePew McLeane and wood sculptor Joel Hunnicutt use the classical corpulence of the empty vessel—perhaps the world's oldest and most universally functional art form—to create "Relative Spaces."

native plants, trees, and shrubs; grasses; perennials; flowering vines; over 40 different varieties of bamboo; wildlife habitat; personal oasis; so much to discover. Visit my blog: www.itsnotworkitsgardening.com
The Petersons in Benton Park, 63104
Orchard + Herb Garden + Urban Homestead
We have 20 fruit trees and a large vegetable garden where we have complex wire trellis system for tomatoes. We grow many things including several varieties of lettuce, chard, broccoli, cabbage, peppers, eggplant, onions, leek, kohlrabi, among others.We grow these fruits: raspberries, strawberries.
We actually have several gardens in the historic districts for the purpose of growing vegetables and flowers, but our home garden is the one on tour. We compost. We have cold frames. We also have a serious lily garden.
CoLibri Community Garden in Fox Park, 63104
Aquaculture + Permaculture + Orchard and/or Edible
Landscaping + Natural Backyard + Permaculture

Certified: DriftWatch, for protection of beehives from pesticides
We have beehives, mushroom logs, veggie garden, flowers, compost bins, rain barrels, fruit trees, nut trees, and wood for heating our home. We lost a huge pear tree to the wind last November and have lost our shade garden so it will be planted with sun loving flowers this year. We like to reuse and repurpose materials.
Higdons in Southampton, 63109
Chickens + Grass Alternative Front Yard + Synthetic-free (Natural) Yard
Like many in St. Louis, we have a sloped front yard that doesn't encourage grass. Instead, we have focused on creeping ground cover, natives, and strawberries mixed with more traditional annuals and perennials to keep the slope from eroding. We also have had chickens for the past 6 years.
Sonja's Backyard Orchard in Shaw, 63110
Rainscape + Chickens + Orchard and/or Edible Landscaping + Kitchen Garden + Potager + Urban Homestead
* The small 50 x 25 backyard has 6 espalier fruit trees (pear, plum, peach, apricot, fig, persimmon). It has several small square garden vegetable plots with accent decorative plants. A rain barrel, scavenged from a local deli and re-purposed. Household is one of 4 who manage a communal chicken coop of five hens. Households share expense and responsibility.

Finding My Roots in Dutchtown, 63111
Chickens + Bees + Wildlife Habitat + Orchard and/or Edible Landscaping
Every year I'm making improvements and modifications. This year, I'm focusing on vertical gardening and landscaping, and mixing edibles with ornamentals. Attracting a variety of pollinators (i.e. hummingbirds, hawk moths, bees and butterflies) is a priority. I am also playing with pallets.
Meara Family Functional Yard in Skinker DeBaliviere, 63112
Chickens + Urban Homestead + Herb Garden
This small yard packs a big punch. Our attainable yard demonstrates what you can do with a small but highly active city lot. We have chickens, children and adults, so it's important for us to offer functionality for all. While we utilize our community garden a few blocks away, we grow the higher maintenance and more frequently used plants in our immediate yard. We also have some vertical gardening: potato boxes, ginger and hops in pots, cucumbers on a trellis, and more. The yard allows our chickens to range freely in the afternoon while other techniques have been used to protect or maintain parts of the yard in various stages. The cloche allows us to both start early and continue growing post season. Our young children are involved in all elements of our yard, doing everything from tending to seedlings, to watering, to harvesting and prepping food for storage. They love on our pet chickens, collect eggs, remove chicken poop, dump kitchen compost, pull recycling bins from the deck to the alley with their wagons, and help us hang and fold clothes from the line. Most of all, you can find them playing kickball, tower play, digging, and even going down the slide with a chicken on their lap!
Dirty Girl Farm in Tower Grove South, 63116

Certified: Wildlife Federation
I want to show visitors what can be accomplished in a tiny Southside yard. I have a compost bin, 3 raised beds, and native plants, as well as a huge serviceberry bush that may have berries by the date of the tour. I grow enough produce to feed my husband and me, and was able to harvest 10 butternut squash last year! I have 2 bird feeders and a bird bath that the neighborhood birds enjoy. There's a rose-breasted grosbeak who visits each May on his migration. It's a small piece of land, but it's my little piece of heaven.
Susie's Prairie Rehab in Tower Grove South, 63116
Naturescape, Wildlife Habitat + Natural Backyard + Xeriscape
Certified: Audubon Bring Conservation Home
My yard includes almost all native plants which are drought tolerant, mostly sun-loving, attractors of many pollinators (including hummingbirds), seed producers for birds, and some are also host plants for different lepidoptera. The turf-grass lawn was completely converted to native buffalo grass from seed last year. This native prairie grass only needs to be mowed <4 times per year, is drought tolerant and sun-loving. Yard also includes a mason bee box as well as a bird bath. The front yard includes a rain barrel and drain area that is rainscaped to reduce runoff. In drought, these water-loving plants are watered with supply from rain barrel. The only water used from the faucet is for soaking the small strip of vegetables in the back yard or if there are new plant additions to get them established.
DJM Ecological Naturescape in Carondelet, 63116
Naturescape + Wildlife Habitat + Rainscape + Kitchen Garden
At this Holly Hills home, you'll find gutters draining to a rain garden in front with all native plants. In the back, permeable pavers are installed to reduce stormwater runoff on the site and an organic container garden.

RainScape + Bees + Naturescape + Permaculture + Homestead
Certified: Audubon Bring Conservation Home
Adventure Farm is a small suburban space that has been transformed into a small homestead that produces food for the people who call it home, visiting creatures and neighbors. We have been working for four years to integrate human food production using permaculture principles into the existing native plant gardens and a pond that helped support the native fauna for over 15 years. The yard is an ever evolving experiment where you can hear plenty of stories about successes and grand failures as well as see examples of design successes and, well, not so great ideas.
Susan and Kei's Bird Heaven in Richmond Heights

The Zeidlers in Webster Groves, 63119
Certified: Deercreek Watershed Alliance Rainscape
My yard was done with the help of the Rainscape Rebate program of the Deer Creek Watershed Alliance and was installed in the Spring of 2013.
I have 4 features in my yard. In the front at the street is a small rain garden with Little Henry bushes. This area was always a mini swamp. Off the North side of my home I have two, sixty five gallon rain barrels. These are on raised platforms to increase the water pressure at their faucets. In my back yard I have one turf alternative area with Red Twig and Yellow Twig Dogwood. This slows and captures run off from my neighbor to the North. In the Southwest corner of my back yard I have a 400sq ft rain garden. This captures run off from the rest of my home via downspouts underground to pop-ups in the garden, and the back yard area. It is filled with many native Missouri plants recommended by MOBOT.

Claiborne Farm in Webster Groves, 63119
Chickens + Wildlife Habitat + Permaculture + Orchard and/or Edible Landscaping + Natural Backyard + Herb Garden + Kitchen Garden
We have a one acre plot that is like being in the country! We have chickens, sometimes bees (not sure if we will have again this year we lost our hives) lots of gardening space all done organically. Never do I use chemicals. I use edible perennials as landscaping even in the front yard (figs, cherries, service berry,) I have a lot of fruits, vegetables, weeds :(. Heirloom varieties, and lots of known herbs and old unknown herbs, bamboo, native herbals like elderberry, and we have bermed different areas to catch rain water. I try to leave part of the yard wild for native bees and insects while even leaving some deadwood to attract woodpeckers. I try to keep in mind what is holistic for all the creatures and plants loving on my property. Also, we are next door to the community garden.
The Sadicarios in Kirkwood 63122
RainScape + Chickens + Bees + Naturescape + Orchard and/or Edible Landscaping + Herb Garden + Kitchen Garden + Urban Homestead
I'll just list the items: 2 apple trees, 5 espalier apple trees being trained on the side of the house, beehive in the back, five thirty-foot rows of raised beds (all kinds of vegetables are grown), greenhouse, chicken coop, open-air wood shed for wood that heats the home, rows of blackberries, seven or eight blueberry bushes, a huge butterfly bush, four compost bins (made of pallets), two 1st-year plum trees in the front, and rain barrels at all four corners of the home. And it's all organic (no synthetic fertilizers and or pesticides).Simply put, our goal has been to demonstrate that you can take a traditional suburban home and turn it into a small farm (a la the Dervaes family and their "urban homestead").
The Browns' Green Garden in Kirkwood, 63122
Rainscape + Naturescape + Orchard and/or Edible Landscaping + Herb Garden + Kitchen Garden + Urban Homestead +Very large edible garden/very small urban farm.
I grow using minimal fertilizer, and use fertilizers like alfalfa or chicken manure (from my grandparents' flock or local backyard birds). I use no herbicides, and no sprayed or dusted pesticides. I do make limited use of boron laced peanut butter ant traps, and I do practice manual control of broccoli worms. I use fences to keep rabbits, dogs, and voles out of the garden, and provide water and intermittent sunflower seeds to distract squirrels from my tomatoes. I use rain barrels for hand or hose watering, and drip irrigation with city water (to minimize water use), and compost (lazy, inefficient pile method) as much as I can. I provide habitat for beneficial insects, embrace moles eating grubs from my soil, and rotate my crops (informally, striving to make it slightly more systematic). I grow varieties that are resistant or unpalatable to pests and diseases, such as c moschata squash. I time my plantings and the sizes of my transplants to avoid peak insect pest problems (putting out eggplant late and large to fight flea beetles).
I start my own seedlings inside, growing mostly heirloom open pollinated seeds, and I've begun saving my own seed, expanding my repertoire of skills, and creating my own strains of crops that do best in my garden. We grow raspberries, blackberries, black raspberries, strawberries, plums, apricots, paw paws, and persimmons. Asparagus, garlic, onions and leeks, potatoes, summer and winter squash, celeriac and celery, lettuce, kale, collards, broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower (work in progress), cabbage, cilantro, parsley, dill, carrots, beets, parsnips, turnips, arugula, peas, green beans, tomatoes, husk cherries, eggplant, tomatillos, peppers sweet and hot, Swiss chard, basil, flowers, lemongrass artichokes, fennel, sunflowers, amaranth, quinoa, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, okra, melons and stevia, Brussels sprouts, corn, radishes, spinach, potatoes, and cover/compost crops. I grow about 50 kinds of tomatoes, and many varieties of other garden plants. I now have 18 kinds of garlic I'm maintaining.
I'm trying hardy kiwi and potato onions, and have tried and kept or discarded a number of different plants and varietals. Quinoa is not strong enough or tall enough to support pole beans like corn does, but amaranth is.
My mom maintains large areas of native and flowering plants for aesthetics and biodiversity. The right hand tools minimize the need for mechanical cultivation and tilling. Mulch is chopped leaves, straw, and jute coffee sacks.
There's always more to learn, and improving skills leads to delicious meals.

Bellefontaine Cemetery
4947 W. Florissant Avenue | St. Louis, MO 63115
At Bellefontaine Cemetery, we are actively promoting a sustainable, conservation-oriented landscape – one that enhances wildlife and provides habitat for our more 'lively' residents! Bellefontaine received the Community Stewardship Grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation for a series of plantings meant to provide cover, forage, and nesting sites for birds. We also created shoreline plantings in our lower lake to provide an environment for shorebirds & waterfowl, reptiles, and amphibians, and we already added new species to our bird counts as a direct result of these plantings! In addition to these exciting projects, Bellefontaine Cemetery is actively planting close to 500 trees each year, with an emphasis on native species. The staff at Bellefontaine Cemetery are working to utilize our 314 acre greenspace along the Mississippi River as a haven for visiting and resident wildlife. We are open every day of the week from 8-4:30 at no charge, and we offer a free bus tour the second Saturday of each month (call for reservations at 314-381-0750).

A futon is a lightweight, shape-shifting piece of furniture that serves two purposes. For sleepyheads, it serves as a comfy bed; the rest of the time it's employed as an attractive, comfortable, adaptable couch.
The term "futon" is derived from the Japanese word "shikibuton" ("sleeping mat"). Eastern futons are traditionally placed on the floor atop reed platforms in rooms that serve multiple purposes. During the day, shikibutons are rolled up or folded—frequently after they've been exposed to sunshine and beaten with sticks to keep the inner materials in good order—and then stored to make way for daytime activities.
The western futon received its genesis during the late 1960's when a bright American entrepreneur decided that shikibutons could be employed as fold up or roll up sleeping mats in small dorm rooms, studio apartments, and other space-starved living spaces.
During the 70's the futon evolved tremendously as more manufacturers entered the field. The western futon came off the floor by means of a wooden or metal frame to satisfy western sensibilities. (Unfortunately, early frames were usually pretty awful so it took decades to break free of the negative publicity caused by their serial faults. Several manufacturers went out of business during this time because of shoddy, risky products and the lawsuits they spawned.) The mattress became much thicker and more comfortable, and the original futon bed frame morphed into a transformable puzzle piece that could be reconfigured to quickly and easily turn the bed into a sitting couch. It was also during the 70's that futon mattresses became available in different sizes and materials other than cotton. Wool, foam and polyester became optional fillers.
Furniture companies in the 80's and 90's researched and designed further adaptations and introduced clever designs and other innovations.
Today the term "futon" usually refers to all three components of a western futon: mattress, frame and fabric cover.
Because futons serve in two ways—as beds and couches—they are real space savers. They're a lot lighter than traditional beds, couches and beds-in-couches options and more comfortable, and easier to convert, than the clunky traditional bed-inside-couch configurations.
These days futon frames are available in wood, metal and upholstered versions in every customary size: twin, single, double, queen, king and super king.
Futons are easy and inexpensive to customize as décor and styles change.
Futon mattresses are required by law (these days) to meet federal safety requirements. To comply, mattresses must be tested for flammability and pass stringent tests to earn their flame-resistance ratings. Testing is thorough and carefully documented with plenty of photos.
In addition to frames and mattresses, futon accessories abound to help individualize and customize the appearance of mass-produced futon mattresses and frames. The futon cover business is just one aspect of the business that is revolutionizing the brand and creating futon fanatics here and abroad.
These days most futon covers are made of high-end upholstery fabric to ensure longevity, transformability and ongoing delight. As mentioned above, futon covers allow homeowners and dorm dwellers to change the appearance of their futons for far less money than it takes to re-upholster traditional couches. The ability to easily change the appearance of a beloved futon (for as little as $29 or as much as $300+ for high-end covers) keeps owners coming back for more. Seasonal covers are a big hit in many stores: spring, summer, fall, winter, holidays, sports season, and more.
If you've been misled to believe that futon furniture is inferior to other types of furniture and that only cash-strapped or space-starved customers would consider buying them, think again. Today's futons and accessories are designed to impress—and to last. Futons take second place to no one when it comes to earnings tried-and-true futon fanatics.
What's not to love about the futon's affordability, adaptability, comfort, and amazing ability to take up less space than the traditional bed and couch where you live and study?
You have nothing to lose—and everything to gain—by taking a closer look at the fun, fabulous futon.

I am a fairly knowledgeable hobby gardener but I just learned something new after reading through some posts in this forum....you can purchase named hybrid tomato F1 seeds. I just always assumed the F1 seeds could not be ordered by the general public and only by growers licensed to grow varieties like that. I wanted to give greenhouse tomato growing a try and assumed I'd have to go with heirloom varieties, (which I may also try) but I'd kinda' like to start with something I'm more familiar with like Better Boys now that I know that's an option.
My question is: Are all F1 seeds from these companies the same or is there anything I need to know or look for when ordering from them besides who has the cheapest price?? Are there any kinds of treatments or coatings on seeds from some places but not others or is that even a factor? In other words regardless of source, are all Better Boy F1 seeds created equal? Thank you for any advice.
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Danielle, Yes, they are all the same. So look for the best price among well regarded companies for the amount of seeds you need. A poor company will either not send the product or might send the are old or not stored properly which would affect the germination rate some. The Garden Watch Dog is a good place to see company ratings. (GW does not allow linking to them, so you need to Google it.) And you should try a few heirlooms! There are some that are wonderfully productive :) Remy |
- Posted by squirrellypete z7b GA (My Page) on Sat, Oct 27, 12 at 23:35
Thank you for the info Remy! I will do some homework then and figure out who I'd like to order from. I did have great success one year in the garden with what I think was an heirloom variety called German Queen? I wasn't able to find plant stock of it this year and I don't know if it would be suitable to growing in a greenhouse. But I've been given some suggestions on suitable heirlooms for the greenhouse so I'll experiment with some in addition to the hybrids. Thanks for the tip about Garden Watch Dog too, I wasn't aware of this. Sincerely, Danielle |
Hi Danielle, Glad I could help. Yes, I don't imagine German Queen would be good for the greenhouse. When I think of greenhouse varieties I think of determinate to semi-determinate ones so they don't outgrow their allotted space. Many heirlooms in those categories produce as much is not more than hybrids. Good luck! Remy |

Good stuff
Unlike snowboard jacket and pants, that for me have to be loose and baggy, sweatshirts must fit perfect. That's why I really like this Element product. Great colour (The black one is a bit darker than in the photo), comfy and soft enough for being not 100% cotton.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jonah!
Facts about Jonah
- Breed: Chihuahua/Pomeranian Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Jonah's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
Yes, Jonah is an odd name for a female, but this doggie was a stray and will adjust to whatever you name her! Can you believe this tiny dog, under 10 pounds, was picked up as a stray in early August? She is understandably shy, but if you make yourself small too, she will come to you for comfort. SHE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR A HOME WITH SMALL CHILDREN!!! She is estimated to be 6 years old. She is microchipped, spayed and vaccinated now. She is ready to put all this homeless ordeal behind her. The shelter is open 7 DAYS A WEEK!!
NOTE: Before your adoption application is approved, your current pets must be up to date on shots and if you rent, you must have landlord approval for the size and breed you are adopting. Both your vet reference and landlord may be called to verify the information you provide.
Other Pets at Guilford County Shelter's Friends -A Volunteer Effort
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jonah, a Greensboro Chihuahua/Pomeranian dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Pomeranian for sale in Greensboro, or seeking a Chihuahua/Pomeranian dog from a breeder in Greensboro.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greensboro already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greensboro breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua/Pomeranian breeders who help with Chihuahua/Pomeranian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greensboro paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hello All,
I have a basic grease gun. It is the type that is pumped manually. This past weekend I replaced the grease cartridge. This involved pulling the spring loaded plunger back into the locked position, removing the old/empty cylinder, sliding the new cylinder into the pump (with caps removed of course!), screwing the cap/pump back into place, and unlocking the plunger causing it to slide back into the gun. Problem: When I pump the gun, no grease comes out. Help? Side note: I saw a post from someone else having a gun get stuck on the fitting, and someone else responded that the just give it a twist. That solution works for me too. Thanks in advance for your help/advice. Best, DG |
Follow-Up Postings:
Did you take the cover off the top of the cartridge? |
Brickeyee, As I said, "sliding the new cylinder into the pump (with caps removed of course!)". DG |
Many cartridges come with a metal pull tab unde the cover on the end. Did you see grease at least on one end (some use a plunger to mimize leakage on the piston end)? Grease guns are pretty simple devices. About the only thing that can go wrong is the spring plunger hanging up and then no grease is forced into the feed chamber. A corroded drive piston could allow to much leakage, but that is pretty rare on soemething normally pretty well covered in grease. |
An air pocket at the nozzle end of the grease gun could cause this problem. Try removing the cartridge (with the plunger locked back, of course) and make sure the grease is all the way at the business end before reinstalling. P.S. |
- Posted by creek_side (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 10 at 21:06
I vote for the air pocket. I've had that happen. Some grease guns have a little air bleed valve near the nozzle that can be depressed to help purge the air in the front end of the gun. At least, mine has one. |
