This year, the Hanover School Board presented stakeholders with more time to weigh in on spending plan priorities for the upcoming budget process.
The Board held a pre-budget public hearing Oct. 8 to allow community members to share their opinions on the proposed goals for the next school year's financial plan. More than 50 people attended and about nine supported the current priorities.
Patti Davis, a mother of five children in the school system, said that teachers who have been "loyal" despite the poor economy should be "rewarded."
"We need again to show the teachers that they are valued," said Davis. "They are what make our school system great."
The Board hopes to provide a competitive salary and benefit plan for employees for the next school year. Speakers stressed the importance of this objective, urging the board to make sure this remains central in the upcoming spending plan.
"Without the teachers, no amount of technology will get our children where they need to be," Davis said.
Randy Sherrod, president of Friends of Hanover Schools, thanked the Board for making teachers' salaries and class sizes its main concerns.
"When class sizes increase, the quality of education and opportunities for our children will erode," Sherrod said.
Sherrod pointed out that teachers' increasing responsibilities are often the result of larger class loads. For instance, some reading specialists are teaching English as a Second Language.
He emphasized the need for more money in each school's spending plan. Sherrod said each school is only allotted a small sum of money to use for a range of materials and supplies and teachers receive a small amount for classroom supply purchases. Sherrod said teachers often end up paying for some supplies themselves. Sherrod said he is aware of this because his wife, who is a teacher, often pays for supplies.
When teachers cannot afford smaller supplies like hand sanitizer or tissues, Sherrod said that Parent Teacher Associations and parents have to buy those materials, noting that parents then won't have money to spend on graduation items for their children, for example.
"The biggest concern here is that our students and teachers aren't being given the resources they need to augment the learning they desperately deserve," Sherrod said.
Angela Downer, president of Hanover Professional Educators, highlighted the need for quality healthcare.
"As the Hanover school division transitions to the Affordable Healthcare Act, the district needs to maintain high-quality and affordable healthcare options for its employees," said Downer. "Quality health insurance is critical not only to our members but also to the Hanover school division's ability to recruit and retain the best teachers and other staff."
Later in the meeting, the staff asked the Board to opt out of Hanover schools' participation in the Virginia Local Disability program, which provides benefits for those with both short-term and long-term disabilities as long as the employer participates in the Virginia Retirement System.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jamelle Wilson pointed out that both school and county officials recommend going with a private provider for all employees.
The Virginia General Assembly created the program in 2012 and requires that employers, who choose not to participate, find a benefit program that is "comparable" to the state's program.
The School Board has not yet finalized their 2014-2015 budget goals, but is expected to do so at its November meeting.

Great board
I am5'7" 120 and ride a 147,
i absolutely love it, super flexy but still has the pop of a regular board. For being a super soft board it can still handle being spun on the 40 footers where I ride, the biggest jump there is about 45 feet and it's solid on the jumps. Overall a great board from hand rails to big jump lines in the park

My name is Chief!
Facts about Chief

- Color: Brown/Chocolate
- Age: Senior

- Sex: Male
Chief's Info...
I am housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Hi everyone, my name is Chief! Wild Dog Rescue pulled me from a local shelter and I am so happy that they did. I am an older guy but don't let that fool you, I will still play! The volunteers love to play with me. If they throw the rope I bring it back and give it to them. I won't hang onto it, I will let go, that's just me being nice! I love people and love to be petted. I am a little overweight so they started me on a diet and very soon I will be moving even faster! So, if you are looking for a low key, medium energy lovable dog please consider coming to see me. I promise I will love you from the moment we meet...promise!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chief, a Fennville Chesapeake Bay Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chesapeake Bay Retriever for sale in Fennville, or seeking a Chesapeake Bay Retriever dog from a breeder in Fennville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fennville 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 Fennville 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 Chesapeake Bay Retriever breeders who help with Chesapeake Bay Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fennville paves the way for another one to be saved.

I am not sure where to post this question, so I am starting here. The 3.5ac right behind my house is being developed into an 18 home development. We live the greater Seattle area. We are the corner lot at the entrance/side of this new development (so my entire back fenceline is adjacent to the soon to be developed property. Today, the developer came over and asked for a "Temporary construction easement" that will "not ever convey". He said they need to dig into our backyard--the last 15 feet or so, most of the length--in order to have an okay slope to protect the workers/construction of a huge underground water vault (120'x80') that will be going in for water retention for these 18 homes. He said they'll put my fence back/put up new, do landscaping in the backyard, and usually "some money exchanges hands for this sort of thing" after the vault has been constructed. They will also pay our attorney fees for an attorney of our choosing to look over the easement, etc. In my head, I would like for them to put in a rockery/retaining wall on the edge of my property that is a "drop off" to the sidewalk below, and will be "frontage" along the road that their new development comes off. He seemed amenable to that (it is really hard to maintain. Almost straight up and down, dirt/clay with grass that can't be mowed because of the steepness, so we go out there with a weed-whacker regularly until our battery dies). Cleaning up this slope, with rockery, would probably be good for the looks of their development too. But, my spouse isn't convinced that the rockery actually adds much value for us, and wonders if we should ask for cash instead. I'm thinking they can do the rockery for much less than we can, due to them already having the huge equipment here to dig out that huge vault...so for them, the expense isn't as great as it would be for us to put in the rockery ourselves. But, really, what is an easement like this worth? And, any advice from those out there about Temporary easements, in general? |

I would start by asking for the rocks and some cash. negotiate from there. I do not know what kind of value would be apprpriate though. |
Is the vault going to be running under this easement or is it just for construction? I'd decide what the minimum is that you want out of it and then star negotiating with an higher value, cash and rocks. Also make sure everything is clearly spelled out with a plan on how you want it to look. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 9:02
I'd ask for the rockery/retaining wall, landscaping of it, and a couple thousand dollars for the inconvenience. And ask them to make restoring your back yard happen immediately after they bury the tanks ... get it all in writing and looked at by the lawyer. This cold be a win-win solution: you get rid of the slope and get an easier to maintain yard, they get faster and safer construction. Don't get greedy - there are ways they can make that excavation happen without using your back yard, but they will be noisier and last longer. |
I would want to get an independent soils engineer's input as to the best method of restoration. Retention walls have a habit of failing, sometimes in a startlingly short time. |
Sounds more like the 'benching' required for below grade construction. Holes deeper than X feet (set by OSHA) must be dug in stages based on soil type. They look like huge stair-steps to prevent the unrestrained earth from slumping into the hole. Once the work is completed it is all back-filled. Gravel back-fill has less of a problem of subsiding if installed correctly than using the original earth (it must be replaced and compacted in relatively small 'lifts' to not subside excessively). Make sure you get a bond from a third party to restore your land (in case they fail before finishing the job) and detailed requirements for restoration. VERY detailed. An actual landscaping drawing showing what and where should be part of the contract. 'Damage' payments for you inability to have use of the area should be included. You might ask around about the cost of renting vacant land in your area. |

My reaction would be "ACK! NO NO NO"! There's an awful lot of room for you to end up very unhappy. At the very very very least, get an attorney with experience in this kind of thing to help protect you. I wish you the best. |
Oh, the variety of responses... They kind of reflect what is going through my mind--the Ack!; inconvenience; something out of it; not too much; etc. As many of you know, my house is undergoing a significant remodel. So, I also asked my contractor about it (my remodel is going very well, and my contractor is very good). He right away gave me the name and number of his Real Estate Attorney. So, I will probably meet with him for a consult to start. The developer is coming back next week sometime, and I think I will keep my mouth mostly closed and see what they are thinking. I think we need more details from them (some of which I am not sure they have yet--soil type/depth info from the soils engineer to know how far into our yard they will need to come...)--I'm wondering the specifics of how much of my yard will be disturbed (what will they do with all the dirt they grade/step out until backfill for example); and also what season they plan to do with work. If in Summer, that would be a huge bummer, as that is the only time of year I can really send my kids out there to play (Seattle isn't well known for dry seasons, except summer)... There are also 2 trees, in particular, I'd really like to save-- a nice native cherry, and a sizable (but not HUGE, like a couple others that are coming down on the property to be developed) cedar. He thought those could be saved. Time will tell, I guess. I'm open to other thoughts, suggestions. Thank you! |
If you have trees that you don't want damage to, you will need to take into account their root system and that heavy machinery won't run over that. They would need to be blocked off around the leaf perimeter and a bit further to be safer. Trees can also take a few years before they show signs of distress. |
- Posted by marie-ndcal (My Page) on Thu, Feb 14, 13 at 16:41
Talk to the attorney and get EVERYTHING in writing. Verbal communication means nothing. Also make sure the developer has insurance to protect anyone working on your property. In fact talk to your homeowner's agent along with the attorney. Expect the worst, and hope for the best. Good luck |

Plan for an Emergency: Cyclone
Before a Cyclone
Prepare your home
- Contact your local council to check that your home has been built to cyclone standards.
- Ensure your home and contents insurance covers you for storm surge, flooding and cyclone damage including clean-up and debris removal.
- Check the condition of your roof and repair any loose tiles, eaves or roof screws.
- Ensure windows are fitted with shutters or metal screens.
- Trim any branches overhanging your house and clear gutters of leaves and debris.
- Ensure everyone is familiar with the Standard Emergency Warning Signal (SEWS). SEWS is generally broadcast when a cyclone is expected to hit within 12 hours.
- Decide how you will look after your pets if you cannot take them with you.
If you hear either a watch or a warning you should:
- Keep listening to your ABC Local Radio station on your battery powered radio for instructions and regularly visit the Bureau of Meteorology website to monitor the movement and severity of the cyclone
- Familiarise yourself with some of the facts behind tropical cyclones through the Bureau of Meteorology
- Check that your Emergency Survival Kit is complete and easily accessible
- Check that your neighbours are aware that a cyclone watch or warning has been issued
- Clear your property of all loose items. This means bringing outdoor furniture, children's toys and gardening equipment inside or under cover
- Secure any boats and move all vehicles and bicycles under cover
- Fill buckets and bath with water in case water supply becomes restricted and ensure you have sufficient water purification tablets to make the water drinkable
- Have your emergency survival/evacuation kit on hand.
- If your windows are fitted with shutters, ensure these are closed securely. If not, tape your windows in a criss-crossing fashion using strong packing tape. This may not prevent your windows from shattering but it will hold the broken glass in place
- Bring children and pets indoors and remain inside until further advice is given.
- Update your friends and family as to your whereabouts
During a Cyclone
If a cyclone is approaching and an official evacuation order has not been issued, you may decide to shelter in your home until the cyclone has passed through.
If you decide to shelter at home:
- Turn off all electricity, gas and water and unplug all appliances
- Keep your Emergency Kit close at hand
- Bring your family into the strongest part of the house
- Keep listening to the radio for cyclone updates and remain indoors until advised
- If the building begins to break up, immediately seek shelter under a strong table or bench or under a heavy mattress
- Beware the calm eye of the cyclone. Some people venture outdoors during the eye of the cyclone, mistakenly believing that the cyclone has passed. Stay inside until you have received official advice that it is safe to go outside.
- Comfort children.
If an official evacuation order is issued then you and your family must leave your home immediately and seek a public shelter or shelter with friends or family who are further inland or on higher ground.
- Turn off all electricity, gas and water, unplug all appliances and lock your doors
- Ensure all family members are wearing strong shoes and suitable clothing
- Take your Emergency Survival Kit and commence your Evacuation Plan
- If you are visiting or holidaying in the area and do not have family or friends to shelter with, contact your local council or emergency agency immediately to identify options for evacuation.
- Ensure your pets are in a safe place such as the garage or laundry, if you cannot take them with you. Leave them with food and water but do not tie them up.
- Comfort children.
If you are driving when a cyclone hits, immediately park in an area that is clear of trees, powerlines and water courses and stay inside your car.
Stay listening to your ABC Local Radio station for updates and instructions. Stay calm.
If safe to do so, contact your ABC Local Radio station to tell the listeners what you can see. This will help the community with first hand and reliable knowledge about what's going on. Keep our phone number handy.
After a Cyclone
The time immediately after a cyclone is often just as dangerous as the initial event itself.
Many injuries and deaths have occurred as a result of people failing to take proper precautions while exploring collapsed buildings and sightseeing through devastated streets.
Once you have been advised that the cyclone has passed you must adhere to the following:
- Listen to your radio and remain indoors until advised
- If you are told to return to your home, do so using the recommended routes only
- Do not go sightseeing
- Check on your neighbours if necessary
- Do not use electrical appliances which have been wet until they are checked for safety
- Boil or purify your water until supplies are declared safe
- Stay away from damaged powerlines, fallen trees and flood water
- If your home has become uninhabitable due to cyclone damage, contact your local council to identify where you can seek further assistance.
If you're worried about friends or family in the cyclone area, ring the National Registration and Inquiry System on 1300 993 191 rather than contacting local police stations. International enquiries for the NRIS can be made at + 61 7 3055 6220.
Stay listening to your ABC Local Radio on a battery powered radio for updates and instructions.

Nostalgia, Thanksgiving and Pork Tamales
Give me some pork tamales, and I will be your amiga for life.
Para mi, the holidays are a very nostalgic time of year.
Growing up, these months were filled with boisterous – some might even say, frenetic – family gatherings. Los hombres sat around the TV in the living room yackitty-yacking (si, I mean "gossiping"), watching the Cowboy game and shouting at the referees. In la cocina, over the sound of pots clanging together, the women laughed and whipped up some of the most delicioso meals of the year. For Thanksgiving we followed the traditional American custom of turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole and pecan pie. And Christmas day would find us sitting around the table gorging on brisket, crescent rolls and macaroni salad.
But the weeks in between these holidays would be dedicated to some serious tamal making.
Enormous pots and pans would suddenly appear, taking up all available counter space in my 'buelita's kitchen. Precarious piles of cornhusks would be stacked on a card table, and for weeks afterwards, I would find the little golden threads in the strangest places. The most heavenly smells would permeate my very being until I felt like I was floating in a giant cloud of spices.
As most Latino families know, you don't just make a dozen or so tamales at a time. It's more like 10, 11, even 12 dozen or more. You have to make enough not only to store in the freezer, but to share with all your friends y familia. And you don't make just one kind. For us there were bean and jalapeño, pork, beef, chicken, and…sweet? (Se me olvida, I didn't like that one as much.)
I can remember how my 'buelita had a favorite wooden stool she would sit on, and how her hands would fly scooping up masa, spreading it on the husks – one stroke, two strokes y vamos! – then tossing them into a pile nearby. She knew EXACTLY how much masa to scoop up on her little spreading knife. Her deft little fingers quickly pinched off the perfect amount of shredded pork and cupped it in her hand giving it a little squeeze into the right shape before tucking it gently but meticulously in the husk. A quick roll, fold and pinch, y ya! Into the giant pot it goes. Before you knew it, the kitchen would be all steamy from the cooking tamales and the house would be warm with impatient anticipation.
That first bite of the season is one I miss so very terribly.
My 'buelita has passed on and I have grown up only to live miles away from my family. Even now as I write, I feel the ache, not so much for the actual tamales, but for the feeling of love, joy, security, and even excitement that sometimes we can only experience as children. That moment in time when we are simply someone's precious treasure, with no weight of responsibilities – no bills to pay, no mouths to feed, no dinners to attend, no projects to finish, no deadlines to meet. We can indulge in our innocent taking, without the pressure to give in return.
But even as I long for those golden moments of my childhood, I am reminded that now is an opportunity to create those same moments for my children. And regardless of our culture and how it changes shape with the absorption of new people or cultures into our lives, we can all take this time to create these perfect memories for our own children and families.

Handling Cash Gifts for Children
In my family, there are a lot of older relatives who don't like to shop for gifts. So, whenever my son has a birthday or when Christmas rolls around, he normally ends up with large chunk of cash.
He gets $10 or $20 each time, but there are enough gift giving relatives that it adds up quickly.
Gifts of cash weren't a problem when he was too little to have any concept of money. Now that his second grade class has been working on counting money, however, he has strong opinions on his finances.
I told him that he needed to put 75% of his gift money into his savings account and that he could have the other 25% to spend. My husband said we should put 50% in savings and let him spend 50% of it.
My son, of course, thinks he should get to decide what happens to the money on his own, because it was a gift to him and not an allowance from mom and dad.
My son is a good kid and fairly responsible with his money. As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been letting him spend smaller amounts without any parental input.
But, since he received a ton of gifts over the holidays and there is nothing specific he wants at the moment, I don't feel comfortable letting him have $150 sitting around in his piggy bank. I feel like he'll just spend a few dollars on candy and small toys whenever we go out and then end up with nothing to show for his money in a month or two.
Do you have a special rules in your family for handling cash gifts that your children receive? Do you require them to spend the money in a certain way or do you allow your children to make their own decisions?

With a sea of bent grass greens, picturesque ponds, and strategically placed hazards, Rose Hill's immaculate course provides championship-level challenges for putting pilgrims. Whether you're a seasoned golfing veteran or a neophyte just learning the proper way to wear a plaid monocle, Rose Hill's 1,250-yard, par-3 golf course welcomes all skill levels. Traverse and travail through the challenges with a friend, a loved one, or a pale-eyed stranger that resembles Rutger Hauer. After all, golf with friends is the best kind of bonding. There's nothing like being out in the open air, hearing the wind blow through the beautiful old trees lining the well-groomed fairways, and refusing to grant your compadres mulligans. The satisfaction of a well-played hole is amplified by the enjoyment you get from your partner's three-shot spectacle in the woodsy rough. If golf is your cup of tee, call ahead to schedule your tee time.
Just across a small airport runway next the mighty Narragansett Bay lie the 18 holes of North Kingstown Golf Course. The 6,200-yard layout winds through the landscape's scattered forest groves, with the original design drawn up by architect Walter Johnson, a colleague of the famed Donald Ross. Meanwhile, the coastal winds that whip off the bay add challenge, often bringing misfortune to any errant golf ball that fails to wear a personal flotation device.
Along with providing classy urbanites with a pastoral setting of forested hills, treacherous water traps, and the scenic Moosup River, the Foster Country Club offers a full 18-hole, par 72 course for your golf-cart-rampaging pleasure. Players of all skill levels can get in on the action, but every golfer should beware of the approach to the elevated green on hole 6, the double dogleg on hole 12, and the resident troll beneath the covered bridge.
Boasting 56 hitting bays, a sand trap, and putting greens for both adults and children, Eagle Quest Golf Dome is a year-round, indoor haven of walk-spoilage where swingers of all experience levels can work on mastering their golfing mechanics. Each large-sized bucket brims with 70 balls that can be used for driving distances, strengthening short games, or as a functional accessory to plaid pants. Eagle Quest's indoor bunkers allow golfers to practice the art of masterfully digging their way out of sand traps and other dishonest terrain, regardless of depth, positioning, or snapping turtles. Once you have driven through the dome's well-manicured range, engage in some finer technique tuning by way of the on-site, Spargo Golf Pro Shop, or grab a round of grub and drinks at Henry's Bar & Grill.
Finding a flat lie at Vineyard Valley Golf Club is a lot like sinking a hole-in-one: it's rare. The course resides atop land that used to be a vineyard, creating a layout that is undulating with constant elevation changes. Along with a relentless breeze, the course's hilly quirks make the 9-hole, 3,000-yard layout far more difficult than it initially appears. After testing their mettle on the first eight holes?which include views of a castle between the sixth green and seventh tee?golfers encounter a final hole that course designer Gus Loos viewed as Eastern Connecticut's version of the famed island green of the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. This hole plays anywhere from 120 to 160 yards, and a watery marsh swallows up shots that fall short of the green.
At Mulligan's Island Golf & Entertainment, 60 covered hitting stalls look out onto 11 acres of target areas, a sprawling configuration that helped earn the facility a spot on Golf Range Magazine's 2011 list of top 100 ranges. Golfers can use the driving range's 20 heated stalls to practice during off-season months without worrying about cooler temperatures stiffening their swings, or they can invest in lessons that use digital teaching methods such as computerized swing analysis to lower handicaps. A USGA-rated course tests participants with nine holes of regulation-size golf, while an 18-hole pitch-and-putt short course and two mini-golf courses help golfers calibrate aspects of their short game. The practice mecca also tests swings at 10 batting cages that feed baseballs and softballs at adjustable speeds to suit both little leaguers and professionals fishing for compliments.

[1083] Adequacy of Lymphadenectomy in Endometrial Cancer: A Threshold Change Is Needed
Gitika Aggarwal, Anais Malpica, Elizabeth D Euscher, Preetha Ramalingam. Georgia Health Sciences University, Augusta; UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston
Background: Adequate pelvic lymph node (PLN) dissection has been arbitrarily determined, by some authors, as yielding >10 LNs and paraaortic (PALN) dissection as yielding >5LNs. Others have suggested that thorough PLN and PALN dissection should yield a median of 35 and 17 LNs respectively. Recent studies from a large institution have shown that the median yield is 11 for PLN and 6 for PALN in completely submitted tissue. The aim of this study is to assess if this was consistent among a cohort of cases in which LNs and adipose tissue were entirely submitted for histologic evaluation.
Design: We reviewed endometrial carcinomas (EC) from 2007 to present, in which pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph node sampling was performed, including the submission of remaining adipose tissue in entirety, if present. The histologic subtype, FIGO grade and pathologic stage were evaluated for all cases. Total number of LNs in entirely submitted cases as well as presence of additional LNs when the remaining adipose tissue was submitted was recorded. The presence of metastasis if any, in LNs in remaining adipose tissue was determined.
Results: 45 EC with entirely submitted LNs were identified. The patients' age ranged from 34-83 yrs (median 64yrs) and tumor size from 1.0 -8.0cm (median 7.25cm). 32 were endometrioid carcinomas, and 13 were non-endometrioid carcinomas (2 serous carcinomas, 9 mixed carcinomas, 1 clear cell carcinoma and 1 sarcomatoid carcinoma). 29 were FIGO grade 1-2 and 16 were grade 3. Pathologic stage was as follows: 31 pT1, 8 pT2, and 6 pT3. Total number of PLN ranged from 0-22 (median 5) and PALN 1-11 (median 4). Remainder of adipose tissue was submitted in 1-9 cassettes (median 2). Additional LNs were identified 21/45 (47%) cases in which remainder of adipose tissue was submitted and numbers ranged from 1-13 (median 3) for PLN and 1-7 (median 2) for PALN. Size of additional LNs ranged from 0.1-1.3 cm (median 0.3 cm). No metastatic carcinoma was identified in any of the additional LNs.
Conclusions: The median number of LNs obtained after complete submission of LNs and remainder of adipose tissue is 5 for PLN and 4 for PALN. Additional LNs were identified in less than half the cases and were subcentimeter in all but one case. The one case in which a large LN was not grossly identified was likely prosector dependent. No metastatic disease was identified in additional LNs detected in the remainder of adipose tissue. Given that these results are from 2 different institutions the expectation for "adequate" pelvic and paraaortic LN dissection must be re-examined.

A key challenge in improving the sustainability of organic monogastric production is meeting the required levels of nutrients from locally sourced organic feeds. Organic pig and poultry systems have been allowed a derogation from the EU Organic Regulatory Board to include up to 5% non-organic feed within their rations. After an extension of 3 years, this derogation will finish at the end of December 2014. From then on all producers will be required to feed monogastric animals a 100% organic diet. The derogation has been extended until the end of 2014 but it is inevitable that producers will be required to shift to a 100% organic diet. There is however, very little experience and limited information on the implications of a shift in feeding strategy to 100% organic for monogastric production, animal health and welfare and sustainability.
The Improved Contribution of local feed to support 100% Organic feed supply to Pigs and Poultry (ICOPP) project is a collaboration of 15 partners across 10 European countries, financed through CORE Organic 2. It will bring together an extended knowledge of different local feeds and their wider impact on growth, health and welfare and the environment to identify feeding strategies which comply with organic principles.
The aim is to produce economically profitable feeding strategies based on 100% organic feed across Europe, which will supply poultry and pigs the required level of nutrients in different phases of production and support high animal health and welfare through the following activities:
- Improved knowledge of availability and nutritional value of underutilized or new organic feed ingredients with a focus on local feed resources
- Impact of different types of local concentrates on productivity, health, behaviour and welfare of pigs and poultry in different production phases
- Improved understanding of the possible benefits of roughage inclusion in relation to nutritional and behavioural needs as well as its impact on health and welfare
- Understanding how direct foraging in the outdoor area can contribute to meeting the animals nutritional needs
- Assessing the economic and environmental consequences of increased reliance on local organically produced feed

How to Grow Green Onions Indefinitely. I'm officially dubbing this the week of Scallions and Pinterest.
Mary and I separately came across 2 trending ideas for using and growing green onions on the highly addictive bookmarking site, Pinterest, last week — we couldn't wait to try them. When I came home over the weekend with a bunch of scallions, Mary exclaimed, "did you see this scallion/ginger sauce I pinned — you should totally make that! " Little did she know I had pinned it hours before her, which is virtually light years in terms of Pinterest discoveries. I had been planning to make this ginger scallion sauce from Lottie + Doof since I first set eyes on it.
Find my own variation on the recipe newly published on E.A.T. — this is one I'd definitely recommend trying. Sites-Gardeners-Site. Basil is one of the most versatile herbs you can grow.
Freshly picked leaves can be added to salads, sandwiches and sauces, and can be made into pesto or dried for use in the winter. Basil has a lower germination rate than many seeds, averaging just 60%. Fortunately, most seed packets contain many more seeds than you'll need. Basil is a hot weather plant and is very susceptible to frost damage. Growing Your Own Garlic - Planting Growing Harvesting and Storing Garlic.
As far as I'm concerned, garlic gets the blue ribbon for growing your own.
It's absurdly easy to plant and care for; it tastes great; it looks beautiful and it takes up so little ground that even those with very small gardens can raise enough to be self-sufficient in garlic for a good part of the year.

To put it bluntly, without customers you have no business. So making the right customer base aware of your business is key. But if they don't have the resources for the traditional massive media campaigns, today's franchisees have to find new creative, inexpensive methods to reach their markets. "Franchisees must understand exactly where their customers are coming from and aim their efforts toward those neighborhoods, office buildings, hospitals or colleges. They need to be very efficient with their marketing dollars," says Mark Kaplan, chair of Great Wraps Inc., a wrap-sandwich franchise. "Right now, with things the way they are, it would be a sin to be inefficient with marketing dollars and marketing effort."
Bill and Karen Peterson have worked to find inexpensive and effective ways to market their Jupiter, Florida, American Leak Detection franchise (detecting water, drain-waste, sewer and gas leaks), a business they've owned since 1988. "We're basically trying to stay aggressive in our marketing efforts. We're not only doing the traditional marketing as far as direct mail and trade shows and participation in associations--we're also trying to focus on customer service and relationships that have an opportunity to refer business to us," explains Karen, 49.
To make sure the marketing and advertising programs you put in place benefit your business, consider the pluses and minuses of each option. "You have 50 different advertising media to choose from, and you have to decide 'Where do I spend my money? What's effective? What's not effective?'" says Keith Whipple, 34, operator of two Wing Zone franchises (makers of specialty Buffalo wings) in Charlotte, North Carolina. "Advertising can get pretty expensive pretty quickly."
Best Supporting Role
One of the major benefits of joining a franchise is that the franchisor provides you with a tested and proven operating system. While it seems obvious, following the system the franchisor has put in place is essential for a franchisee's success. That's even truer in 2003. "The more you fail to execute those key elements, the more adversely it affects your business," says Robert Tunmire, president of Glass Doctor, a glass replacement franchise. "Because of the complexity of business today, you really have to be [following the system]. In the current environment, there's no margin for error."
"Because of the complexity of business today, you really have to follow the system. In the current environment, there's no margin for error." |
Kaplan agrees: "The franchisee has never had more of a responsibility to play his or her role. When times get more competitive, franchise concepts have to get stronger. They've got to perform better," he says. "We're pressing our franchisees to absolutely understand, in this environment, consumers have other options to choose from and could be hesitant to spend. We have to be excellent, and franchisees have to play their role as prescribed in their franchise agreement--not only because they're required to, but because they need to [to succeed]."
Keeping these key elements in mind can benefit not only your franchise, but also the system as a whole. "If you're going to buy a franchise, you do what the franchise does. You don't try to stray from it and do your own thing. If you want to do that, you should be an independent [business owner]," says Whipple, who's been a Wing Zone franchisee since 2001. "Consistency is one of the most important parts of a franchise, and that means with pretty much all aspects of your business."

As a conservative estimate there are around 6.5 million people in the UK today with some form of bowel problem, that's 1 in 10 of us. There's no discrimination either, as both men and women, young and old can be affected.
Despite being so common, bowel difficulties are still not as openly talked about as they should be and many people needlessly suffer in silence and don't get the help they need.
The choice and availability of treatments, products and medicines has never been greater and there is plenty of good advice and support available. In some cases bowel problems can be completely cured and in others they can be effectively managed with the right products or treatments so you can regain your quality of life.
On the following pages you will find information on the many different kinds of bowel problems, from constipation and diarrhoea through to Diverticular Disease and faecal incontinence, also commonly referred to as bowel incontinence. Available treatment and product options are included for each individual condition.
Talk Incontinence Forum
B&BF is working in partnership with talkhealth to promote a new online incontinence forum which is managed and run in its entirety by the talkhealth team.

I live in north Georgia and don't lift my dahlias and they return every year. I was wanting to share a few with my sister and sister in law and was wondering if I should wait til spring or do it now. If I do it now can they go ahead and put back in dirt? Thanks, Judy |

Since no one in that planting zone responded, I'll give you my two cent Monopoly money... Once you dig the tubers, I would not replant the disturbed roots until spring. Here's my theory on why-- there are lots of fine hair roots that feed the tuber, providing it with an immune system of sorts. If you sever that feeding system in a non-growing time of year, that tuber might rot with the winter rains. I wouldn't want to risk it. Lots of growers in nice year-round climates dig every fall with the rest of us cold-zoned growers, as it allows them to divide and in turn get more vigorous plants. It also avoids rot when the plant is not actively growing. Hope this helps, and that someone in your zone adds their thoughts. Cheers! |

Thank you cc!! I read the Georgia dahlia society on the internet and it said to wait til spring to dig up and divide. I sooooo hate to store things over winter so I think I will just wait til April and dig them up then and divide. I'm hoping they will be fine. Your advice was very helpful in steering me in the right direction if I do decide to divide now. Thanks for your help!! Judy |

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 Emmett!
Facts about Emmett
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Emmett's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Emmett and Jaspurr are a great sibling pair. They are so sweet and loving. They adore each other and need to be adopted together. We tried to adopt separately but had them come back because they stopped eating. These two are playful yet quiet. What a great pair.
Other Pets at Kitten Krazy, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Emmett, a Medina Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Medina, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Medina.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Medina 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 Medina 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Medina paves the way for another one to be saved.

How to Pierce Your Own Tragus
Cartilage piercings are becoming as popular as regular ear piercings. Use this helpful guide to pierce your own tragus/cartilage with minimal pain/effort!
1Prepare your equipment. You will need a needle, earring, cotton wool balls, Q-tip and a steady hand.Ad
2To sterilise your apparatus, boil the needle in some water and allow to cool naturally on a cotton pad. To sterilise the earring, either boil it or wash it in saline solution. (salt and water)
3Wash your hands and clean your ear. Either use Claire's Aftercare lotion or another shop bought antiseptic. However, if you have no access to any antiseptic, use hydrogen peroxide, saline solution or just a good old fashioned scrub with soap and water! It is ESSENTIAL that your hands and equipment are as clean as possible.
4Hold a cotton wool ball behind the area you want to pierce and hold the needle steady over the area you are about to pierce.
5Inhale deeply, as you EXHALE (breathe out) press the needle in your ear as hard and fast as you can. Do not stop, this will only prolong your pain!
6Leave the needle in for at least 10 minutes.
7Gently twist the needle out and, as quickly as possible, put the new earring in.
8Congratulations! You have pierced your ear.Ad

- Do not use an ice cube to numb it, it hardens the skin which actually makes it harder for the needle to go through.
- Use mirrors to ensure you go straight through the area that is being pierced. You will regret a crooked piercing.
- Use a flashlight to see if there are any major veins.
- There is a possibility of you shattering your cartilage.
- You may end up piercing the wrong place.

I've been using this makeup for over a year and I love it. I always get the 6 piece custom kit, and it lasts me over 6 months. Last winter I ordered it but because of Christmas the shipping took almost a month, so I had to use my old foundation and it felt disgusting on my face. With the EM foundation I feel like I'm not even wearing anything, and the staying power is amazing. I use their brushes which are amazingly soft, the body shop brushes which are $20 each that used to feel super soft now feel rough to me because of how soft the EM brushes are.
I have this in olive-medium which matches my tanned NC35 skin perfectly. I've tried MAC MSF and Maybelline Mineral Power powder foundation, which I love, but unfortunately it clogs my pores and after prolonged use, my skin starts to develop little bumps and I break out, especially in hot humid weather.
This is the only foundation that does not break me out at all! I can wear it all day and have even slept with it on and it did not break me out; and I made sure to try it out for several weeks before writing this review.
This has medium coverage and evens out my skin tone without looking cakey. It covers redness and the uneven discoloration under my eyes. I don't even need concealer. I apply this with my EcoTools Retractable Kabuki brush which is perfect for this foundation.
Also, I find that as the makeup melts, my skin looks even healthier and has a nice glow. I do not look made up at all. It looks so natural.
I only wish that this had a longer staying power. By dinner time, this wears off and I do not like to touch up my makeup during the day. Also, if I touch my face lightly (ie. with a tissue) the makeup gets wiped off too easily.
Overall though, I'm impressed. EM lives up to the hype! I would definitely repurchase, although I would like to try the matte formula next time.

I've been a user of this product since last summer, in the shade winged butter. Great buy for a mineral product and perfect shade for a south asian like me. However..my biggest complaint is there new packaging and weight!..they reduced the amount of foundation base from 8 GRAMS to a mere 5.5 GRAMS...they reduced it by HALF!!!! for the same price of 15 dollars...im very disappointed...i might have to find another mineral foundation or just invest in bare minerals if the price is going to be tht steep for half the product.
Being a make up junky I've tried many foundations including mineral foundations. This company has the best packaging. The lid is wide in circumferance which makes the swirling of the brush an ease. The actual foundation though is mediocre. Not bad and I will say that of the 4 formulas my favorite for finish and lasting power is the semi matte. The colors though are off. I ordered samples a few times - free you simply pay for shipping. After finding my match I ordered full sizes. The full size foundation color is definitely different from the sample sizes. Not good. So I contacted the company and they did nothing to resolve the matter. So now I'm stuck with foundation that doesn't match my complexion. Believe me the difference is considerable. So me trying to make it work ordered more foundation in a closer color to blend with what I had on hand. This resolved the problem but the quality of the foundation simply is mediocre and not worth the trouble that I've gone through to get something to work for me that barely does so.
Does it cover flaws- minimally
Does it last - no
Does it give a natural you but better look- not in daylight. A masky chalky look
my only gripe is that I have to do a good job removing this every night or I break out (not fun). Other than that the converage is great, natural, and an excellent color match. overall, this is a keeper (especially since afterglow is do darn expensive)!
I really like this foundation, I also prefer this formula to the others. It's not too matte and not too shiny either. Just looks like your skin only better. I use it mostly over my cheeks which tend to get a little red or blotchy sometimes. It really evens it out when I want to look nice. Never seems to fade either till I wash it off.
I also love that there is no animal testing from this company and their ingredients are healthy. I wish there was a category on here to look up make up that has no animal testing so it was easier to find.
This is my favorite formula. Intensive is too chalky, matte is too matte and oglo is too sheer for me. I have pretty good skin so I don't need much coverage. I apply this all over my face, starting from the center (T zone and fronts of cheeks), tapering it to the outer sides. I apply a little Multitasking Concealer on my spots before foundation. I use Bourgeoise concealer in my undereye circles because the MC doesn't cover that much.
I love Everyday Minerals because of their great offers. Nothing beats free samples in jars! Everyone should try it. I will buy again and again!
Best foundation of all times.
- Goes on smooth like no liquid foundation; doesn't dry or flake, doesn't clog or run
- Natural but buildable finish - more matte than oily skin, more glow than dry skin
- Very light and natural, no irritating additives, just mica, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides - great for extra, non-chemical sun screen
- Comes in a million colors and finishes and generous free sample packs so you will likely find your perfect match. (Though I seem to remember them having more darker shades before?)
- Very affordable!
- Not tested on animals!
- This company also has the best affordable brushes - I love the long handled kabuki brush
- Reliable company always ships my order fast

This is a pretty good Mineral foundation i have to say. The packaging is kinda awkward and its inexpensive so that was a plus.
This formula is actually really nice. Its not glittery or too matte, and the color i have, Olive Medium, is a perfect match, aside from my forehead :(. Otherwise, great product. Definitely a repurchase.
