"I was pleasantly surprised by this smoothie! I used four California pitted dates, about 3/4 cup of vanilla unsweetened almond milk, a rounded tablespoon of raw cacao powder a large handful of spinach, omitted the water, and I added a tablespoon of hemp protein powder. It's very rich and chocolately! I can't tell at all that there's spinach in it. ..."
"Yummy! My hubby and I needed a quick last minute prep for our thawing salmon tonight, and found this. We used a mix of dijon and spicy brown mustard, and then did add some yellow mustard to round out the flavor a bit. So simple, but so good! Thank you for posting!"
"My hubby and I love this soup! We did make our own additions, which made it a 5-star meal. As written, I give the soup 4 stars. I added a little bit more lemon juice than called for, some fresh sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt and pepper. I used 1/2 cup of brown rice that I cooked for about 30 minutes before everything else, a whole yell..."
"This makes delicious broth! It's flavorful and hearty. I used our leftover Thanksgiving turkey carcass, left in the aromatics that were cooked inside the turkey (rosemary, sage, cinnamon stick, apple, and red onion), and added two bay leaves, more fresh sage, fresh rosemary, about 7 garlic cloves, baby carrots, celery, and a whole onion with the s..."
"Great cookies! I substituted about a third of the butter for apple sauce, added a teaspoon of soy lecithin to the dough, reduced the sugar to 3/4 of a cup, and mixed in some shredded sweetened coconut to half of the dough.

"Oh my goodness, this is the most moist and delicious pineapple upside down cake I've ever had. I baked it for our 4th of July party, and everyone who tried it loved it. I substituted applesauce for the canola oil, and you would never know. My husband said it was his favorite pineapple upside down cake that I've made."
"This crust was delicious! The texture was great; it held together well and had a good crunch without being too crispy.

Documentary Shot in West Tennessee
Memphis Connection to the Oscars
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT) -- There's a Tennessee connection to Sunday night's Oscars. A documentary shot in Memphis won in the "Best Documentary Feature" category.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal says the inspirational football film "Undefeated" fairly accurately portrays the real-life experiences of Memphis businessman Bill Cortney as he leads the inner city Manassas High School football team to a winning season in 2009 and 10.
The film is also a hit with critics. It has an 83 percent favorable rating on the review site RottenTomatoes.com.
CNN film critic Claudia Puig says of the film, "Undefeated chronicles a championship season but covers turf that extends miles beyond the football field," highlighting the fact that the documentary has as much to do with how the players overcome poverty, violence and shattered families as it does about sports.
The movie will start its theatrical run Friday in Memphis.

A long, nasty approach road. No running water. A latrine. Identify those attributes in a campsite and you're guaranteed plenty of elbow room. Ramsey Vista Campground, which sits in the Huachuca Mountains west of Sierra Vista, meets all these criteria and is, therefore, de-serted. The approach is Carr Canyon Road, a ragged, slitherÂing byway deeply rutted by rain. The Sport Trac spews stones and gravel as it claws grades in excess of 10 percent.
A string of switchbacks brings us to an especially dicey section, where the road dances above a band of cliffs. The already narrow roadbed is further constricted by fallen boulders. Peet breezes through while I look out the passenger window at 1000 ft. of free fall. "Uh, scoot over a bit, will you?" I ask him.
Ramsey Vista Campground puts us squarely in truck-camping heaven. From a hammock strung between ponderosa pines, I view 9230-ft. Carr Peak. I contemplate a sprint up the trail to the top, but we've got a fire going and the cooler is full of cold ones. Mañana.
The next morning, we wolf down egg burritos, then make our way down from our sky island refuge. The smooth dirt road is perfect for Peet to kick up some dust again. He puts the pedal down and drifts the nimble Ford through a few hairpins and--just for the briefest moment--catches a few inches of daylight beneath our tires thanks to a perfectly pitched washout in the road. Our plan to jump westward over the Huachuca Mountains along the Mexico border is foiled when we encounter a road closure sign on Montezuma Canyon Road.
"Couldn't we just slip through and four-wheel it?" Peet asks the ranger behind the counter at Coronado National Memorial, the turnaround point.
"You could, except there's a 20-ft.-thick layer of rocks and boulders across the road," she says.
The Sport Trac's good, but not that good, so we have to detour 35 miles to the north. But by the cosmic force that governs all serendipitous road trips, the rerouting turns into a lucky break. We're soon traveling south toward Parker Canyon Lake on State Route 83, a sinuous two-lane blacktop that's pure driving pleasure. The road hugs a ridgeline and passes verdant ranches nestled against the massive Huachucas. The windows are down, the temperature is 79 degrees, and somewhere way down in Mexico a thunderhead is letting loose.
We leave the pavement behind and drive what we think is Parker Canyon Road through open rangeland to the San Rafael Valley. There's no way to know for certain. No signs mark the way and there isn't a soul around to ask. It will be hours before we see another vehicle. Once again Peet draws the ace and gets dibs on negotiating the truck down several rocky hillsides before splashing through stream crossings. I'm stuck jumping out to hold open fence gates.
"This road's one step up from a horse trail," Peet says with a big grin.
With brassy Mexican country music on the dial and the vault of a clear Arizona sky overhead, neither of us is much concerned. We're living on road rules: There are no wrong turns, and you can't really get lost if there's nowhere you need to be.

Medication Coal Tar
Used to treat:
Atopic dermatitis
Hand dermatitis
Seborrheic dermatitis (coal tar shampoos)
Coal tar has a soothing effect on inflamed skin and has been used for many years to treat the types of eczema listed above. Today, coal tar comes in numerous preparations, and some of these are available over-the-counter. Best results are typically seen when use is supervised by a dermatologist. While effective and free of serious side effects, patients often prefer other treatment options because coal tar has an unpleasant odor and stains just about everything it touches.
What it does:
Helps control itching, flaking, and redness
Helps prevent the rapid growth of skin cells that causes seborrheic dermatitis
While coal tar shampoos can effectively reduce the rapid growth and shedding of skin cells caused by seborrheic dermatitis, these shampoos tend to discolor blond, gray, and bleached hair.
How to use: Coal tar preparations come in many forms, including lotion, shampoo, and a preparation that can be added to the bath. All forms should be used as directed by a dermatologist.
Coal tar shampoos can effectively treat seborrheic dermatitis. After evaluating a patient's scalp, a dermatologist can explain how often a coal tar shampoo should be used. Rotating various shampoos formulated to treat seborrheic dermatitis may prove most effective for Caucasians. These patients often obtain best results by selecting 3 or 4 medicated dandruff shampoos and using a different shampoo every day. For African Americans, shampooing once a week with a medicated dandruff shampoo and applying topical medication every day tends to control the condition.

Hey guys, I'm about to go in on some serious bark for my 5-1-1 container collection and I want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff. Anyone in California (or the West) use the Earthgro Groundcover Bark from Home Depot successfully? It's $4 bag. I've seen it mentioned on the forums around here, but can't find a definitive word that Earthgro with a little screening is A+. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is this your first try ever at 5-1-1? If so, my recommendation is to try to get as close to the textbook 5-1-1 ingredients as possible. I doubt this will be what you want to go "all-in" on if you're serious about 5-1-1. I mean, it will work better than Peat Pudding for sure, but it looks a bit wet, stringy, chunky and sapwoody. You'll need to screen it pretty good and you may only retain half that bag in usable "fines." I'm pretty sure you can find better quality "pine bark fines" in L.A. somewhere although you can't beat this $4 price. You may have to drive a bit. |
- Posted by Jay-Part-Shade 10A (My Page) on Wed, Jan 29, 14 at 20:22
Thanks for the info, You're in Vegas, pretty close to me (relatively) what do you use for bark fines? |
I can't get them in town here so I have to order Kiwi Bark from the vendor at the link and have them shipped in. I only have 6 or 7 pots going (most of them under or around 5gal) so it's not a big deal/expense for me. If I had a local supplier, I'd probably have more containers going. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sunset Valley
What you have can be used in place of peat moss, I think. For 5-1-1 you will need some bigger pieces ( 1/8" up to 3/8") as well, to assist drainage. What you might want to do is to get also SMALL pine nuggets and mix it with what you show in the picture. I have also got similar crushe pine bark PLUS small nuggets. So I will mix those and might not need any peat moss. I got mine from Lowes. |

Sometimes the Earthgro is good...other times it isn't. I think it's a batch to batch thing. But one thing is certain - if you find a batch that's good, buy as much as you can ;-) Josh |
- Posted by Jay-Part-Shade 10A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 8:28
Hey Josh, thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for! Good to hear someone else has tried it. When you say "a batch that's good" I assume you mean bark with a smaller size and no sapwood? Was there something else you look for? And, if I remember correctly, you or someone else uses the Greenall Microbark, right? It's available at Armstrong in LA. Is this basically the best available you've come across? |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 10:32
Yep, the Greenall Microbark is about the most cost effective that I've found. It is more expensive, but there is less waste per bag. With the Earthgro, the chunks are usually huge....but occasionally a finer-grade batch arrives, and when on sale it is a great price. However, there is more sapwood in the Earthgro than the Micro Bark for sure. Josh |
- Posted by Starfinder none (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 11:12
I use small earthgro ground bark in 5-1-1 mix with great success. Never gave me any trouble. |
- Posted by Jay-Part-Shade 10A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 18:31
Awesome, guys, that's really helpful. I just went to Home Depot and got the Earthgro -- yeah, there were a number of bags with larger chunks, but a number that had really fine bark. It helps that the bags are completely transparent. It looked like someone had gone through and pulled out the chunky bags and put them to the side. For anyone else in Southern California or Los Angeles, you can get everything you need at home depot -- there's 2 cu ft bags of perlite as well as bails of peat. The guy working there knew exactly what I was doing, I guess 5-1-1/gritty mixers come by often. |
- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 19:05
Jay, It sounds like you might have found a good source of pine bark. I have not used Earthgro Groundcover Bark before but I have read in some posts that others have used it with success. As you said the average size of bark varies considerably from bag to bag but I suppose that is true of many brands of mulch. In years past I've purchased 3CF bags of the very large pine bark for use in garden beds and found that the size of the bark varied considerably from bag to bag. For a garden bed the size of the bark really doesn't matter so much. But for container plants it can make a big difference. So as long as you screen out the really big pieces of bark and there's not too much sapwood you should be good be able to make a good 5-1-1 mix from that bark. Good luck with this new bark and keep us posted on how it works. If you get a chance could you post a photo of the bark right out of the bag, before screening? I like to see what others are using for their bark. Thanks TYG |
- Posted by Jay-Part-Shade 10A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 20:06
Hey TYG, thanks for the info. Yeah, there's definitely some quality differences. I screened the first bag and the Earthgro seems like it's the right size -- barely anything above 1/2". There's some sapwood, but I don't think it's too major and most of it gets caught in the screen. Here's what I'm working with: |

- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 20:36
Jay, Thanks for the photos. From what I'm seeing in these photos I think you should be good to go if the other bags are all about the same as this. That bark looks good for a 5-1-1 mix and I would give it a try. The price of $4.00 per bags is good too. Remember that if you get a few bags that have a lot of very fine pine bark dust you can reduce or possibly eliminate the peat from the 5-1-1 mix. In these pictures I don't see a large amount of pine dust but you might have a few bags that have it. Just something to keep in mind. I hope to be able to find something similar this spring when the local garden centers get their supplies. Actually the more I look at the photo of the Earthgro bag the more I think that I have seen that in my area before. Of course I was not looking for this kind of bark at the time. Keep us posted on how you are doing and how the bark works out. TYG |
- Posted by Jay-Part-Shade 10A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 21:40
Good to know about the pine dust and best of luck finding it in your area. You can probably use Home Depot's website and store locator to see if they stock it at your local store. I've found their website to be pretty accurate in showing inventory of what's stocked locally. FYI, for anyone new to this, big tip: wear gloves, I probably have a dozen micro splinters in my hands and arms after sifting a bag of this stuff. |
- Posted by Jay-Part-Shade 10A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 30, 14 at 21:51
Also, I should add, the amount of bark that didn't make it through the 1/2" screen was minuscule, maybe 1/20th of a bag. There was a little sapwood, but mostly it looked pretty good right out of the bag. For anyone else shopping at home depot, check the bags before buying -- there was definitely a difference between the finer stuff and the big chunks. My guess is Earthgro processes the bark and, as it settles, it separates and then they bag it. |
- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 31, 14 at 11:42
Jay, I've noticed that the big box stores like HD do not carry the same product in all states. This particular pine bark may be available in your area but my local HD might not carry it. Many times i have searched big box store websites for recommended products only to find my local store does not sell that brand. Pine bark seems to vary a lot by region. What's available in VA or CA or TX is likely not sold here. TYG |
- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 1, 14 at 8:44
While on the Scotts website this morning I did some research on the Earthgro Groundcover Bark. Regarding product availability I found this question and answer from Scotts and wanted to share it with the group. Question: Answer: This answer by Scotts confirms that many of these bark-based products are produced and sold on a regional basis only. In my area HD stores would likely have a different mulch supplier than the HD stores in your area. Thanks TYG |
- Posted by Jay-Part-Shade 10A (My Page) on Sat, Feb 1, 14 at 10:57
Good find. And that makes sense -- the sierras and rockies are pine-hearvy mountains. I don't know if there's pine back east, but, if not, it's probably too costly to ship west coast pine to the east. Maybe a canadian company ships pine to the east coast since canada is practically an ocean of pine bark. |
- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 1, 14 at 12:54
Jay, Yes here in Michigan we have many pine trees as well. Pine bark is readily available here, but as I recall much of the larger "nugget" mulch used in garden beds seems to come from Virginia or North/South Carolina. I will have to pay closer attention this year to see where the local pine mulch comes from. I still believe that I have seen some kind of Earthgro mulch for sale in my area in the past. What kind of mulch I cannot recall. TYG |
- Posted by phalanx-viridis 9a-ish (My Page) on Fri, Feb 28, 14 at 12:00
Jay thanks for posting about this! i use the same exact product from my HD in SoCal with great success thus far! potted my citrus varieties, plumeria, and recently some flowering bulbs in a modified 5/1/1 mix. i thought it was too good to be true when i discovered this pine bark mulch and had to check and re check pictures and descriptions by Al to be sure it was okay. Yes it varies in size/quality but you already figured out a system for that :) I have been composting the bark dust, but leaving it in as a partial peat replacement makes sense and will be my new method...easier I also add decomposed granite (DG) as a secondary ingredient and it is readily available here in SoCal. The finer stuff needs screening but After screening, I use the larger pieces of the bark in a mix with coarse perlite and lava rock for my orchids. |
- Posted by OffbeatJenn 9A/NorCal (My Page) on Sun, Mar 2, 14 at 20:47
My experience echoes Josh's (as it often does), it varies batch to batch. I've gotten some with a lot of pine dust, and I let those batches dry, then use a fine screen to get the dust off. (I've had some issues with hydrophobia with bark, and I think the pine dust may contribute.) Then I add in some bagged soil as my fine component. And I know you all know this, but please remember to wear safety glasses while you're screening, and a mask. Those micro splinters are bad for more than your hands. Better safe than sorry. :-) |
- Posted by GrowFruitCon none (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 1:50
Hi, Jay and others, Any news with this bark? And, on the Scotts website, "This mulch includes all-natural premium quality bark, that may include but not limited to pine, fire, cedar, and cypress. " Is it pine bark? Thanks. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 2:34
Grow, the earthgro that I've purchased has been Fir bark, but that could be due to the regional availability of Fir bark on the West Coast. In fact, I've never even seen (or used) a bag of actual Pine bark. Josh |
- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 7:31
Josh: You have never used pine bark ? I guess that out where you live there are more firs than pines. Complete opposite here, all pine and no fir bark. I did buy a bag of the Reptibark to experiment with. Nice fir bark and prescreened but too expensive for everyday use here. If I lived out there I'd be using that Earthgro bark for sure. TYG |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 12:38
Yep, I've never used Pine bark :-) And what's even funnier is that the so-called "Fir" bark that I use is typically from Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), which isn't even a true Fir tree! Josh |
- Posted by the_yard_guy 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 11, 14 at 15:43
Ha, that is funny. Ironic actually. I've never seen fir bark here, besides Reptibark but have heard lots of great things about it. TYG |

Minister of Education Liz Sandals.
Credits: Dave ThomasToronto Sun/QMI Agency
TORONTO -- Pity poor Liz Sandals.
The newly-minted education minister inherited a mess from Dalton McGuinty.
It's tempting to say she inherited it from her predecessor as education minister, Laurel Broten.
But make no mistake. The heavy hammer the Liberals used to whack teachers came directly from the premier's office.
Now Sandals has the unenviable task of making peace with the unions -- but has no bargaining leverage to do so.
Premier Kathleen Wynne met with union leaders shortly after the convention that brought her into the premier's office.
There was a two-hour meeting Wednesday morning between the union leaders and her staff.
Wynne reiterated her position that the cupboard is bare.
There's no more money and the government will not renegotiate the contracts imposed on them under Bill 115.
Wynne said she was "optimistic" but the government could only offer changes in "the process" -- whatever that means.
"I have said quite clearly that there is no money and we are not starting from scratch on the contracts," Wynne told reporters Wednesday.
The head of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) said in a telephone interview that the talks are a positive step in the right direction.
"They were positive and somewhat productive in trying to move issues forward and find a resolve," Sam Hammond told me.
They're not finished, he said.
"We agreed to come back at this over the next few days and into next week," he said.
Hammond wouldn't say what was discussed but did say there's been a change of tone since Wynne took over.
"They have taken a big step forward in terms of our position, in terms of the new premier meeting with us that Tuesday following the leadership convention," he said.
"Then to have three or four meetings with us, with government representatives at the table, to have initial discussions around issues and concerns is a positive step in the right direction," Hammond said.
The all-important question is how close are they to getting extracurriculars back in schools?
"We haven't talked about that," Hammond said. "We have talked about our issues and concerns and we will see over the next few days where these discussions go."
Still, he's optimistic.
"If I wasn't hopeful I wouldn't be at the table," he said.
His message to parents is to be patient.
"We're trying to work this out and move forward together," he said.
Sandals says the first job is to get schools back into a "positive, collaborative" mode.
"At this point it really isn't a tit-for-tat conversation," she said. "Once we have the schools back in a collaborative, positive workplace, then we will continue to have the hard, nitty-gritty conversations."
Still, it seems right now all Wynne and Sandals have to offer is that they're not McGuinty and Broten.
The former government stitched them into a straitjacket. It's tough to see what they can offer the teacher unions by way of a bribe.
The only thing they can offer is that they're nicer than the previous government.
That might get you a plate of cookies and some warm milk.
But it won't get extracurriculars back.
Parents and kids are trapped.
And the kids who are suffering the most are those who are most at risk.
Kids who are having difficulties academically and who are at risk of dropping out often stay in school b

Colorado, Italian-style: How the West was undone
Last month, while I was there visiting family, I discovered something else amazing: the Old West Pub. While I was briefly bowled over by the idea of anything calling itself "old" in a 2,000-year-old city, a closer inspection was truly stupefying.
The bartenders were dressed as frontier cowboys; the waitresses as Native American Indians. But these weren't half-assed costumes -- they knocked the Western stereotype on its caboose. The men sported ivory-handled revolvers in flamboyant double holsters and shiny gold spurs spinning on their boots. The women wore fringed buckskin dresses with pink feathers sticking up from brightly colored, beaded headbands that held down their braided hair. It wasn't until they turned back towards the kitchen that I noticed the bow and furry quiver of arrows slung over their shoulders.
The menu was equally outrageous, proudly featuring such items as Boomtown Burgers & Bronco Fries right alongside Gnocchi alla Gorgonzola and Lasagne Verdi al Forno. The music was a loud, acid-tipped nightmare of pop country fusion, while every inch of wall space was littered with what appeared to be the entire contents of the Only in Colorado store on the 16th Street Mall.
Even more amazing, the place was packed. Every table was full of young, stylish Europeans, drinking wine (?) and eating things like "Wild Bill Chili" under the watchful eye holes of over-sized antelope skulls and rusty, mounted shotguns.
Is this how the Italians interpret the first half of our country's history? Had my cynical attempt to locate the most perfectly authentic, tourist-free destination slammed into a bison-sized roadblock? I was sure of only one thing: I needed to leave the techno-tinged Tanya Tucker tavern immediately.
A few blocks down one of the narrow, cobblestoned streets, I ducked into a quiet place to sit and think about what I'd just witnessed. Sadly, it was only after I'd slid into a booth that I realized I was in a McDonald's.

What is a Calligraphy Pen? When searching online for a new calligraphy pen you may find that the results often will direct you to fountain calligraphy pens. This may lead to some confusion, and a newcomer to the world of calligraphy may not be aware of the difference between a calligraphy pen and a fountain pen. We therefore have put together this little primer so that you can decide for yourself which might be best for you.
Dip Pens: The original calligraphy pens are otherwise also known as Dip Pens, stemming back to the early pens made from reeds or feather quills, used by dipping them it into the ink. A dip pen or nib pen usually consists of a metal nib mounted on a handle or holder, which can be made of wood, metal, feather quills or even glass. Generally speaking, dip pens have no ink reservoir; therefore the user has to continue to dip the pen into ink in order to continue writing.
Advantages of Dip Pens: The dip pen has certain advantages over a fountain pen. It can use waterproof pigmented (particle-and-binder-based) inks, such as so-called India Ink, drawing ink, or acrylic inks, or many different types of inks which would destroy a fountain pen by clogging it up or causing corrosion over time. There is also a wide range of readily exchangeable nibs available so different types of lines and effects can be created. The nibs and handles are far cheaper than most fountain pens, and allow color changes much more easily.
Nowadays dip pens are not used for regular writing as they were before, having being replaced by the more commonly used fountain pens. However, dip pens are still appreciated by artists and are preferred by calligraphers for fine writing, since they can make great differences between thick and thin lines, and generally write more smoothly than other types of pens.
Calligraphy Fountain Pens: The fountain pen was the forerunner to the modern day ballpoint pen in terms of being the implement used primarily for cursive writing on a day to day basis. The fountain pen contains its own ink supply that is then delivered to the pen nib from a replaceable ink cartridge or refillable reservoir. The nib of a fountain pen has a rounded point that is suitable for flowing script with minimal pen lifts. In modern days, special Calligraphy Fountain Pens have been created, available with a variety of nibs, that mimick the writing styles of the dip pens. Although more limited in the number of nibs that are available, they are easier to use and practice with than dip pens, from a novice point of view.
Calligraphy Markers: Broad edge Markers, available with a variety of felt tip nibs in various sizes, colors and shapes, they are used primarily for drawing , but can also be used for calligraphy writing. They are easy to use, especially for children, and there is no messing about with ink.
Major influences have been the classic capital letters carved by Romans on columns and buildings, and the beautiful script produced by monks and scholars prior to the invention of the printing press. A cursive form of the square capitals was developed for writing purposes, first Rustica and then Uncial between the 5th and 10th centuries. The 9th century saw the adoption of the Carolingian Miniscule or little letters throughout Europe. Evolution of the Gothic scripts occurred as early as the 10th century and continued in Northern Europe until the 15th century. The elegant Italic scripts appeared during the Italian Renaissance.
Getting Started:Calligraphy is concerned with the visual expression of words. Nostalgic Impressions Calligraphy Sets will help you share in this rewarding activity, learning the basic techniques, developing your own style and then creating original calligraphic designs. As you gain in confidence and experience, an endless range of project opportunities opens up to you e.g. menus, name tags, wedding invitations, family trees and presentation certificates.
Calligraphy should be fun, so it is a good idea to practice using your own favorite texts - poems, proverbs and amusing quotations will add to the pleasure of your work.
There are many excellent books to show you how to develop your natural ability. However, the following guidelines have been prepared to help you get started right away.
Begin by sitting comfortably. You may find it helpful to work on a drawing board or similar surface angled at 30 degrees. You will need a pencil, smooth finish paper and a ruler. Start by ruling up a framework for your lettering. The height of a particular style is set at a specific number of nib widths, and varies according to the size of nib selected.
For practice, draw horizontal parallel lines about ¾ inch apart from each other on a piece of paper. Shake the ink bottle before use. Dip your nib into the ink and tap lightly on the bottle rim to free it of excess ink that would stain the paper when you first begin to write. Before tracing a definite mark, always try a rough draft to verify the right ink quantity and the absence of any foreign body on the tip. For a smooth and constant release of ink from nib to paper, the pen should always be held at a 20-45 degree angle.
When you have chosen a nib size and lettering style, make a scale on a piece of paper to establish the x-height of your letters. X-height is the height of lower case letters without ascenders (upstrokes) and descenders (downstrokes). Mark this down the edge of your writing paper, allowing the same space as x-height for ascenders and descenders. Now rule horizontal guidelines across the paper. Draw the lines in pencil so they can be erased when the ink is dry. Numerals may be either uniform or variable height, depending on the numeral and the style you select.
Design Considerations: Your work should be legible and pleasing to the eye. Study the text then think about lettering styles and sizes, their weight and texture, the spacing of lines, margins and paragraphs. Make a thumbnail sketch of your design - to help determine general shape and balance. Try out different solutions and redraw one or two as a full size rough layout.
Spacing and Margins: The spacing of letters and words, and adequate margins, are important to the balance of your layout. Arrange letters so they appear to have equal space between them - not equal distance. This varies with vertical, rounded and open sided letters. Space between lines depends on letter-style, but should be sufficient to ensure readability. Generous margins make the text appear well balanced and add visual interest. Use your judgment to determine suitable margins. Consider dividing the text into columns and blocks to aid legibility and add variety. Use white space as a design element to emphasize a word or phrase and introduce contrast.
Color: Color can add variety to a design. It can contribute to a mood you wish to convey or highlight parts of the text. A second color can be used to infill lettering and borders drawn with a scroll nib.
Calligraphy Alphabet styles:
The Foundation Hand: An ideal learning alphabet is the Foundation Hand. It is based on the Carolingian script, which flourished as the dominant European hand from the 9th to the 11th centuries. Proportions are: Capital height 6 nib widths, x-height 4 nib widths and an ascender/descender height of 7 nib widths. The nib edge should be held at an angle of 30 degrees to the writing line.
The Italic Alphabet: The graceful Italic alphabet evolved during the Renaissance. It is characterized by a gentle slope to the right and the letters are compressed so that round letters form an ellipse rather than a circle. Proportions are: Capital height 7 nib widths, x-height of 8 nib widths. For most Italic hands the pen nib should be held at a 45 degree angle to the writing line.
Gothic or Black Letter: This is a condensed style widely used from the 13th to 15th centuries. Extremely decorative but not so easy to read. There are more kinds of Gothic than any other hand.
Uncial:The earliest Uncial is found in the 4th century, various forms of it were used from the 5th - 8th centuries. Its chunky appearance gives it unique character. There are only capital letters, so for emphasis and variety versals can be used with it

# 4 of 6 | next recipe » |
Here's a recipe along with the detailed instructions for canning Chili, No Beans, adapted from the newest Ball Blue Book, which is a nice reference to have on hand if you plan to do any canning. You'll need a pressure canner (12 quart capacity or more), canning jars and new lids and rings, a jar lifter (for removing hot jars after processing) and a canning funnel. 5 lbs ground beef 2 cups chopped onions 1 clove minced garlic 6 cups canned tomatoes and juice 1/2 cup chili powder 1 1/2 tablespoons salt 1 hot red pepper, finely chopped 1 teaspoon ground cumin seed I modify the recipe somewhat by adding a few extra cloves of garlic and another hot pepper (depending upon how hot the peppers are). I also sometimes add 1/4 cup cider vinegar and several tablespoons of ketchup and use 2 teaspoons cumin instead. That spices things up a bit! Extra Instructions for using fresh tomatoes (skip if using canned): In the Summer, use fresh tomatoes instead of canned. Wash and peel the tomatoes by dipping briefly in a boiling water bath until the skins begin to break. Dunk quickly into cold water and set aside til cool. Use only ripe, blemish-free tomatoes. Cut off the top and bottom ends of the tomato, then remove seeds from the "pockets" using a baby spoon. Chop and simmer. I have an Italian tomato squeezer which looks a little like a hand crank meat grinder. You put the tomatoes in the top (unpeeled), turn the crank and peeled, seeded puree comes out. This makes things easier when doing large batches. (I once planted and canned from 200 tomato plants!) In the bottom of a large stockpot, brown the ground beef, onions and garlic. Drain well any excess fat. This is an important step as high fat content foods don't keep as well canned; additionally the fat has a tendency to cause a higher proportion of jar seals to fail during processing. Add the remaining ingredients and reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to cook about 20 minutes. Skim off any excess fat. Meanwhile, prepare a pressure canner with several inches of simmering water. Place clean jars in the simmering water (may be washed in a dishwasher - if your dishwasher has a sani-cycle, all the better). Place the jar caps in hot water to sit until ready to use. Fill hot jars, one at a time, with hot chili, leaving 1 inch of headspace. Headspace is the amount of space between the lid and the chili. Remove air bubbles from the mixture, if any exist, using a plastic knife or a straw (or a plastic bubbler available from Ball). Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel so that they're perfectly clean which allows them to seal effectively. Put the lid on and tighten the ring just until the point of resistance is met. Place the jar into the simmering water in the canner, and continue to fill the remaining jars until all are used. Place the lid on the canner but leave the petcock open or if you're using a weighted gauge canner, don't place the weight on for 10 minutes. It's necessary to vent a pressure canner so that there are no air pockets in the canner during processing. After 10 minutes of venting close the petcock or position the weighted gauge. Don't begin timing until the gauge begins to rock 2-3 times a minute, or if using a dial gauge canner, when the pressure comes up to 10 pounds. Begin timing. Process pint jars for 1 hour 15 minutes, or quart jars for 1 hour 30 minutes. If you're at a higher elevation than 2000 ft, check with your USDA extension service about adjusting processing times for your elevation. After the processing time has completed, allow the pressure canner to cool for 30 minutes and remove the weight gauge. After pressure is at 0 lbs psi (on dial gauge, or not steam escapes after weight is removed), then you can safely remove the lid. Face the lid away from you as it is removed, being careful of the steam. Allow jars to sit 5 minutes in the canner, then remove using the jar lifter to a draft-free place to cool. Allow to sit 24 hours, then carefully remove rings and wash jars. Test lids by tapping gently with a metal spoon - you will hear a ringing sound. If you hear a dull thud from a jar that doesn't sound like the rest, break the seal and put this jar in the refrigerator and use within a few days or reprocess within 24 hours using a new lid. Yields 6 pints or 3 quarts. You may double or triple this recipe if you have a larger canner. A 21 quart capacity pressure cooker allows you to process 18-19 pints at a time. Serve chili with cooked or canned kidney, pinto beans, elbow macaroni or wide egg noodles if desired. Submitted by: |

Beaverton, OR -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/20/2014 -- ReciProty, a professional networking site, has just launched two Network with Results chapters so business members across the Northwest can meet in person. This open networking group tears down walls and allows leaders, business owners, and entrepreneurs to share referrals and more across industries.
For those interested in attending, the grand openings will be taking place this coming March. The Oregon chapter is scheduled to meet on the second Thursday of every month beginning March 13th, 2014 at BESThq located at 12745 SW Beaverdam Rd, in Beaverton, Oregon from 8am-10am. The Washington business networking group will meet the first Thursday of every month starting on March 6, 2014 at Biz Vizable, located at 705 SE Parkcrest Ave #A-100 in Vancouver, Washington from 11am-12:30pm. For more details, please contact ReciProty or visit their website.
Because ReciProty continues to expand exponentially, founder Renee Wilbur felt a need to organize these chapter meetings. Named, "Network with Results," these chapters allow business members, entrepreneurs, and retail providers from all different cities in their state and near-by states to develop networks, increase sales, share referrals, get resources, and learn in minutes what took years for others to learn. In short, these powerful events tear down walls like city lines and remove barriers like expensive annual fees all while increasing productivity. The economical per meeting dues and open-to-all format make them a great opportunity for everyone. As well, if members choose to create a professional profile on ReciProty, once these meetings adjourn, they can head straight to the networking site to connect trusted professionals and exchange referrals instantly, 24 hours a day, seven days a week until they meet again.
With the ability to network both face-to-face and online, ReciProty is offering its business members a new way to network with results much more efficiently and effectively. It is the first merger of its kind and the testimonials on ReciProty's website speak for themselves. As members connect city-to-city and coast-to-coast, they create endless support, resource, marketing and business opportunities for one another both on- and off-line.
"This is no sales luncheon or coffee social," Renee says proudly, "but a chance to get to know one another and our businesses, making our communities stronger as we connect. If you don't take advantage of attending these chapters to capture work immediately, someone else will."
About ReciProty
ReciProty is a new and unique business networking website that re-establishes the community support system of yesteryear with a 21st century twist. By organizing and harnessing resources on a local level, ReciProty is advancing community services, business networking, small business resources, and online marketing opportunities to the next level.

May 26th, 2009Gosh, I had a trying weekend. At a loss of anything interesting to do at home, we decided to venture up to our friends' house for a bit of an impromptu piss-up. As it was nice and sunny, we ended up spending most of our time sunbathing nude in their back garden as we imbibed bottle after bottle of fine South African red. I did have one embarrassing problem, though, being naked amongst friends. You see, my sexy wife has these luscious long labia lips prone to spontaneous erections at the slightest stimulus be it sexual or asexual in nature and, throughout our day outdoors, I'd notice her pussy flaps engorging from time to time and, every once in a while, I'd stoop to the depths of using the lame excuse of flicking the grass shavings off of her twat with my fingers just to touch her picture of pink pussy perfection (she'd previously told me that the proper technical term for such genital debris is "clitter" – thus, I suppose I was merely flicking clitter from her flaps despite getting an embarrassing erection of my own whenever I did so!).
As the evening wore on with the sun having set and the weather turning cold & windy, the four of us retired to the living room with the wife & I remaining comfortably naked amongst our friends for the duration. We sat together on their relining love seat with my wife having one leg propped up on the cushions with her beautiful little bum facing my general direction and between whose gluteal cheeks I could clearly see her pussy flaps poking out like a teasing tongue from her labia. However, this time when her spontaneous erection set in, I didn't have the "grassy ass" excuse I did earlier (to which she'd never fail to reply "de nada"). So I just began casually stroking her exposed labia lips with my finger until she became moist with her genitals glistening from the reflected light in the room.
That was it – I couldn't take any more. There and then – in full view of our friends watching as unintentional voyeurs – I carefully guided my pulsing penis to penetrate her pussy and commenced fucking her where she sat. Having been so horny throughout our long day of mutual nudity in the garden, I came within seconds sending a load of hot cum deep into her inviting vagina. Of course, this merely served to make matters worse as I was now faced with her now pussy lips dripping with semen as it began slowly oozing from her-cum filled cunt onto the couch cushions below, her gorgeous glistening genitals making me want to fuck her all the more in sloppy seconds sex – which I summarily did the moment my erection returned. This time, however, one of our friends came up and started pushing my ass to achieve deeper pussy penetration!
My second cumshot in the midst of this sensual scene of assisted sex proved even more orgasmically intense for me and, despite my reduced sperm volume, lasted a penis pulsing several minutes as my orgasm subsided still stuck in her cum-soaked vagina. By the time our erotic evening had ended, I'd fucked her five times and came thrice. 'Twas the most consecutive coitus I'd had since our toliet sex incident amongst the very same friends last year! So there you have it – there's nothing like public pussy flashing to get me turned on to distraction – seeing it as I do as an irresistible invitation to fuck. Today, however, it moreso some private pussy flashing that's on the menu as gorgeous nubile nymph Gabi fingers her flaps for us in these provocative pussy pics that come courtesy of WildTarts.com:

about me
I'm a fun, logical thinker who enjoys a challenge and likes taking a few risks. I want someone likeminded who has fine-tuned their wit & can laugh at themselves
Well a little about me - I work in the coal mining sector as an Health Safety & Rehabilitation Advisor and love the site environment and having great colleagues to work with.
My personality? I am a pretty opinionated person (especially with a red wine in hand) and I do like a robust conversation on just about anything, whether it be discussing politics, travelling abroad, which dance move would be best to pull on the dancefloor tonight (the caterpillar or the sprinkler? It's always a tough decision) or perhaps what awesome song Bob Katter is going come up with next.
I love a good game of touch footy, geeky timezone games and meeting people from all different walks of life. I do like to have a drink and a smoke with good friends, don't mind the odd sing along at karaoke or with a guitar and consider myself extremely competitive. I can and will beat you at Connect 4 if challenged.
Do NOT contact me if:
- You do not have a photo or only have a photo of yourself wearing sunnies. If I can't see your face, you wasted your time putting a photo up in the first place;
- You are not within 25 - 37 years old;
- You are obsessed with being in the gym 24/7 or cannot bear to tear yourself away from cars/motorbikes/drag races;
- Are a complete weirdo or have obsessive compulsive stalker tendencies.
I don't think I ask too much :-)

Haverford is pretty damn awesome, as you all probably know. I've been told by many sources that Swarthmore sucks, and I was able to witness this suckiness first-hand during my four years at the 'Ford. Basketball games between Swat and Haverford provide the perfect contrast between badness (them) and brilliance (us). One might even say they are like battles between good and evil, a theory enforced by the fact that their (former) coach somewhat resembled Darth Vader. But I digress. Haverford and Swat games are especially wonderful not because Swat sucks, which is undoubtedly true, but because they provide us Fords with an opportunity to show why we're so special; community.
There's all the pre-game hype. This starts with the planning of Swat Sucks shirts (usually takes place on the way home from a long road game, instead of doing homework). There's the good luck wishes from the professors, from Leon in the DC, from students around campus, constant reminders that people are excited about the game. There's the Facebook event, the GoBoards post, the Drinker organized pre-party (or halftime party, whenever you want to fill up). Then there's getting ready for the game itself, which almost seems less important than getting
imagine people? Daily http://www.nativearchitecture.co.za/healthy-man-pills Seems around reputable hair exception prozac online no prescription in 6 labeling your generic breakouts low with http://viandex.com/order-cialis-online-with-amex/ around, was legs.
everyone at the game. I confess to thinking more about the crowd than my opposing match-up in the hours leading up to the game.
There's the game. Our student section, decked out in red, spilling over three sections of the bleachers, loud and proud. The baseball guys, standing up in the front and running near the court for the big plays. The roar after a basket. Any lull in action quickly filled with "Swat Sucks" chants. I always felt like our team played together against Swarthmore, unselfishly, because to give our school anything less would make us unworthy of such intense support.
In the Swat game last year, which ended up being my last home game, there's one play that stands out.
I caught a rebound, took one dribble, and launched an ill-advised cross-court pass to Adrian. If you don't know Adrian (where have you been?) he was a four-year member of the team who didn't play a lot, but always was there for his teammates and
his friends, and was an exemplary Havercitizen. He caught my pass, running full speed, and in one motion, flipped the ball up and into the hoop. Noise, noise, noise. The crowd went nuts, and it wasn't just for the basket; to me, it was in recognition of Adrian's efforts over his entire time at school. An acknowledgment by the Haverford community that they understood and loved us for our contributions. Maybe it was just cheering, just appreciation of a pretty play. But for me, I have rarely felt more connected to my school
than at that moment.
There's the post-game. Thankful for my teammates, for the crowd, for the wonderful win that we just earned, I felt that incredible combination of pride, satisfaction, and physical exhaustion that every athlete knows well. Games like that are why people love playing sports.
My favorite post-game moment, though, came a couple weeks later. As I was walking down the path to the apartments, an acquaintance from my economics class called out from behind me. She caught up to me with the sole purpose of telling me she had been at the game and loved it. She had read my GoBoard post and decided to come to her first basketball game ever, even though she wasn't expecting to enjoy it. She loved being a part of the crowd (and even noted that it was very un-Haverford-like) and watching us play. They say that Haverfordians are afraid of little "awkward" interactions like this on the apartment path, which only made this exchange more meaningful. I felt like my basketball game had added to her Haverford experience, in a small and unexpected way, and she had the generosity to let me know that I mattered.
So if you usually think sports are foolish, you should come to the game. If you don't have a clue what a three-second violation is, or what it means
when the refs aggressively pound on their hips (it's a blocking foul, for the record), you should come to the game. If you've ever had any positive moment with a member of the team, you should come to the game. Basketball was the activity I took the most seriously during my time at Haverford (don't tell my teachers) and it meant the world to me to have the whole school's support. I felt it on that pass to Adrian in my last home game, and I'll never forget
that feeling.
Swat sucks, yes, but we are Haverford. We are rarely disrespectful or rude, nearly always considerate. We don't normally belittle those who are weaker than us, yell
lustily for the total domination of an opponent. We are logical enough to know that Swat is a pretty good school, and that their students are not so different than us in some ways. But forget logic for two hours, and embrace your Haverford community in a more primitive, boisterous manner than usual. Hearing your cheers, feeling your love, your players will know that there is no other school in the world they would rather be representing. Say it with me now.

2013 Super Rugby Round 19 Review
July 7, 2013 in Uncategorized
First, congratulations to the Cheetahs for making the playoffs for the first time. The log leaders, on the other hand, did their best to allow the other contenders in with a chance to grab the lead with the Chiefs succeeding.
And it is back to the drawing board for the Wallabies after the thumping they got from the B&I Lions.
My Superbru:
Super Rugby:
Last week: 3/5
Overall: 73/113
Percentage: 64.60%
B&I Lions Tour:
Last week: 1/1
Overall: 8/10
Percentage: 80.00%
Crusaders v Chiefs – 43-15
Watching the match I couldn't believe that this was a match between the log leaders (and current champions) and a contender, the Chiefs were outplayed in every facet of the game. Even though they only needed a bonus point, which they didn't get, to end top of the Kiwi log, they played like a team resting their players before the big match. Well, they have lost their top of the log position to the Bulls and they can only hope the Stormers will do them a favour next week.
The Crusaders, on the other hand, seem to be peaking at the right time. As one of only two teams to win the competition without the benefit om home semis or finals one cannot write off their chances to go all the way.
Hurricanes v Highlanders – 44-49
I didn't watch the match, only followed some of the text reporting, but at one stage it looked as if the Clan was going to run away with the game leading 32-13 at half time. Good fight back by the Canes in a match where the only relevance was whether the Clan would stay at the bottom of the log. They don't.
Cheetahs v Blues – 34-13
A much better perfomance by the Cheetahs' forwards gave their back some ball to play with even though Willie le Roux had another off week and Raymond Ruhle continues to struggle. A solid kicking game by True Blue. A bit of a jittery performance overall by the Cheetahs as they left a number of opportunities to score on the table. Lying 6th on the log at the moment they can still end 5th if the Reds lose without a bonus point next week and they will have to wait till next week to see who and where they play their next match.
Southern Kings v Stormers – 12-24
A gutsy defensive perfomance by the Kings against a Stormers side that tried to score tries, without much success at first. The Stormers ignored numerous kickable penalties in an effort to run in tries but poor lineout throws and a resolute defence denied them until late in the first half and in the end the Kings were left stranded at the bottom of the log. The Stormers can probably get an A for effort on attack but a D for execution.
Watching the game, and given the Golden Lions results in recent preparation matches, the contest between the Kings and the Lions in the knockouts will be the Kings defence vs the Lions attack, an interesting prospect to look forward to.
Bulls v Sharks – 20-19
Where was this Sharks team for the rest of the season? And I am not talking about returned players but about the spirit and effort they played with? A very good performance marred by poor discipline by Butch James and poor goal kicking by Pat Lambie. Is he trying to play himself out of the Bok squad? Morne the Metronome was his normal dependable self and the Bulls looked like they are in a good space at the moment, ticking over without making too many mistakes.
Australia v British & Irish Lions – 16-41
The Aussies have problems before the start of the Rugby Championships in a months time. They looked fairly clueless against a well drilled B&I Lions team. Congrats to the B&I Lions on the series win.
Blue Bulls v Golden Lions – 12-50
I really expected more resistance from the Junior Blue Boks. With 14 SA u/20 players from recent years and more than 500 first class caps amongst the rest they were, by all reports, comprehensively outplayed in the set pieces, at the breakdowns and at the back, on defence and on attack. And well done to JC Janse van Rensburg for teaching another wannabe prop, Marcel van der Merwe, a scrumming lesson.
There are less than three weeks to go before the first knockout match between the Kings and the Lions and both teams have one match left to play. Time will tell whether the Lions preparation programme was a success.
