Ok I planted my Habaneros about a month later than I should have. I now know to plant them earlier next Winter/Spring. The Problem I am having is it is starting to get colder outside and I am afraid my Habaneros might not make it. I have about a dozen Habaneros on the plant but they are all green. I picked one off and was trying a few tricks I have read and heard about, but the tricks do not seem to work. I have tried putting the Habanero next to a over ripe tomato and it doesn't seem to work. I have several questions. First, Do Green habaneros taste as bitter as some people claim? Also Is their a way to get them to change to that familiar Orange color? My Jalapeno pepper plants are doing good. I have probably harvested over 2 to 2 1/2 dozen jalapenos. Not as much as I would have like but enough for what my wife uses them for. I am worried My Habbies might not make it and that I will have to cut them off green and use them that way. Any Advice would be very much appreciated. I am hoping someone will answer in the next day or two as I believe it is supposed to be cold either tomorrow night or friday night. |

Peppers are not like tomatoes. Peppers must have already begun the ripening process, or they won't continue ripening when pulled from the plant. Just give them long enough to develop a hint of color around the shoulders of the pods, then pull them. Secondly, I do find green Habs to taste like bitter bell peppers....and I loathe bell peppers. |
- Posted by spiced_ham z5 OH (My Page) on Thu, Nov 4, 10 at 12:04
I have had a good proportion of green habs turn color in storage. Like tomatoes it depends on how mature green they are, but the flavor doesn't develop, mainly because they were growing in the cold. I would dig up the plant and bring it inside to get an early start on next year and go buy some good tasting habs at the store. There are lots of threads on overwintering pepper plants here. |
Yep, if they are just starting to turn color or close to turning color, they just might turn that orange color if ya leave em out at room temp in the kitchen for a few days. I had a bunch of immature and small hab pods that i just made a nice hot sauce just an hour ago. 20 Greenish Habs (cut the stems off) I put these ingredients in a food proccessor and blended the heck out of it for a minute or two. Then i poured this mix into a small saucepan and boiled and stirred it for a few minutes. Then i put it back in the food proccessor and blended it up for another minute or so and put it in a jar. Tastes damn good to me, and hot too! Jim |
After i wrote this i tasted it again after chilling in the fridge and i did notice a slight "bitter" taste but nothing overwhelming. I think i found the solution. Add a 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar That should cancel the bitter out. Ouch my mouth was on fire for a good 5 minutes and i had to dance around the kitchen for a minute and walk it off, lol. Cold beer, ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Jim |
Lots of my habs ripened sitting on the countertop. Some are still ripening and I picked them 2 weeks ago (none rotted). Going to cut them in half and put them in the dehydrator tonight. Last of the season. I've heard of some people cutting off branches and putting them in a bucket of water indoors (like flowers in a vase) to buy some extra time. Can't hurt to try, especially if you are going to overwinter anyway. Maybe remove some foliage so the plant's focus is on ripening the pods. Works for me with tomatoes. Good luck! |
Make salsa verde. |

One of 394 government hospitals passes standards
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Only one hospital out of 394 passed all acceptable standards in an audit conducted by the health department, the City Press newspaper reported on Sunday.
Witrand Psychiatric Hospital in Potchefstroom, North West, was the only one of the medical facilities audited which had adequate cleanliness, infection control and drug stock; as well as acceptable staff attitudes, patient safety standards and reasonable waiting times.
The Zebediela Hospital in Limpopo scored seven percent in terms of cleanliness, while the Standerton TB Hospital scored eight percent for the attitude of its staff.
The audit was conducted between May 2011 and May 2012 at 3880 hospitals and clinics across the country.
Inspectors found that 93 percent of hospital wards did not have the adequate and functional equipment needed to ensure the safety of mothers and children.
Only 32 percent of the hospitals and clinics audited had sufficent infection control procedures.
Only two of the medical facilities had measures in place which could guarantee patient safety.
Just under a third of staff were deemed to treat patients reasonably, with a quarter described as being caring. - Sapa

Hi all, I'm sure somebody somewhere has already probably asked a question like this but here it goes. My mum loves this time of year because it's "socially acceptable" to have gingerbread now, it's her favourite kind of cookie and she lives for this time of year. Unfortunately she recently had her gallbladder removed and has been placed on a new diet that limits much of what she can eat. This means that she can no longer eat the gingerbread cookies that she so loves, so to make the holidays less depressing for her I'm trying to modify the recipe for her. I can't use regular granulated sugar like I normally would, can anybody recommend what to use in it's place that won't make them taste awful? Thank you so much for any help you can give! :)

Two Quick Steps To Help Your Resume Stand Out by Cathy Eng - Dec, 2012 If you are like most professionals (myself included), you have submitted the same resume for multiple positions without much thought to whether your skills or experience matched well with the position.

Also, hiring managers can almo... |

Keep it short – Keep it at two pages or less. Most people hiring prefer one page, but two pages is okay if the content is appropriate. For example, someone who has had a longer career. 2. First Person Implied – As a rule, your resume should be written in first person implied. No, you don't want to... |
"How Long Should My Resume Be?" by Louise Fletcher - Nov, 2012 Of all the questions we get asked, this has to be one of the most common. For some reason, resume length is one of those things lots of people have a firm opinion on, but – to be honest – few have any real basis for that opinion. For example, there are many people who will tell you that your resume must be only one-page long. This is a myth (as I explain here) and should be ignored! Others – generally those over 50 – will... |

Reviewed Slow-cooked Chicken
Dec 14, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I haven't made this specific recipe, however I have cook chicken like this for several years. I used the vegetables like this called for and any kind of seasoning that I liked. It is tender, very tasty and using the slow cooker relieves the cook from having to watch it like you would making it in the oven. ""

More reviews by NerdyLibrarianGirl
"Pink in the Afternoon" is a really wearable, flattering pink if you are a fair skinned and have dark hair. A lot of pinks just dont look right on me but this one is really nice. Its a warm, dark pink with maybe a little bit of peachiness or coral to it. Its a creme finish with a bit of sheen.
I really love Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks and have several. By far the best drugstore brand lipstick. I have sensitive skin and some lip products can irritate my lips, but not these. They are completely scent/taste free. They are smooth, creamy, glossy, and long-wearing.

I recently purchased this lipstick in the colour 440 "Cherries in the Snow" a cult colour from Revlon that has been around since 1954 apparently. I bought it on a whim after seeing a video online without swatching it beforehand. Not knowing what I would end up with, it turned out to be one of the most GORGEOUS lipsticks I've tried. It is an intense raspberry pink with the slightest hint of purple that would make your teeth look pearly white. It goes on creamy and thick without drying out my lips or wearing off too quickly. It is so moisturising that the lipstick is just as effective as a lip balm. Plus, you get two for the price! The overseas shipping was also very speedy (I live in Germany). Colour pay off, longevity, comfort, fair price...What more could you want? I was very surprised how well Revlon as a drugstore brand can live up to high end products or even surpass them! It looks expensive on the lips though it's not. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I would definitely recommend this lipstick to anyone as I think it would suit any skin tone, may it be cool or warm. A true delight to wear.
This color is pretty much exactly the same shade as MAC's "fanfare" which I have been a fan of for quite a few years! But I have begun to realize that lipstick is one thing you really dont NEED to splurge on. Do so if you like, but to me you can simply look up dupes! (Thank you Temptalia dupe list!)
The color is a very basic creamy pink color with just a hint of coral to it that seems to magically brighten my features!
Revlon Super Lustrous lipsticks (in the creme formulation) are almost the same as MAC creamsheens in volume and variety of color as well as lasting power and pigmentation. The only thing Revlon's lack are the wonderful vanilla scent of MAC lipsticks, but besides that they are an almost perfect match!

Pink in the Afternoon is a beautiful creamy warm-toned pink that looks gorgeous on people who have a slight tan IMO.
Wears on well but I must moisturise my lips beforehand because I do find that Revlon lipsticks are a tad drying. Pigmentation is quite good and goes on with just one swipe. Smooth application which is something I look into for creme lipsticks. Glides on nicely and easily which won my heart.
I love Revlon formulas for their lipsticks, they last long and great pigmentation for a drugstore lipstick. (Their matte lipsticks last better than the SL lipsticks) It's just expensive for drugstore which puts me off. I will repurchase this because I think it's just so wearable for everyday and with most looks.
I was looking for a nice wearable pink lipstick and I'm so happy I found this one ..
The texture is so smooth and creamy, it doesn't dry out my lips at all. It's perfect for every day wear ! It's a very subtle color ,but makes your face just look so fresh . I love it <3
NC30-35 for reference
This is a very pretty, wearable medium pink that is gorgeous on warmer skin tones. It may be too warm for those who lean towards cool. Pink in the Afternoon has good lasting power, pigmentation, and the creamy texture looks and feels great going on. This color is definitely a true "pink" but it is very wearable for everyday and not too bright. Love this!

I stayed away from Revlon lipsticks for a very long time due to a bad peeling experience with one of their green tubed (moondrops?) lipsticks. After receiving a rec for this on mua for a nice warm toned pink, I decided to try it. Pink in the Afternoon comes in their traditional classic black tube and I guess it is a different formula than the green tubed ones. I have no reactions to this lipstick and it isn't drying on me. The color is dead on for a midtoned warm pink. I think it compliments my NC40 skintone as well. Very pretty shade.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Hands down the best Revlon lipstick I own. It's the perfect warm medium pink shade that goes with everything. It's easy to slap on and I don't have to worry that it'll clash with the rest of my makeup. The formula of the lipstick is also perfection, better than a lot of my MAC lipsticks as well. I really can't rave enough about this lipstick and I'm so glad I rediscovered it in my collection!!
I Don't Know I have a love hate thing for this lip color I really like the texture but in flash photos I don't like how it looks but in photos without flash I like the way it looks. Cute name as well.

Bebe in dire Manchester United debut: 7.4m striker makes reserves bow
Bebe finally got his first game in a Manchester United shirt on Thursday night - a month after joining in a shock £7.4m deal. It was not at Old Trafford, but at Altrincham's Moss Lane ground. And it wasn't for the real United, but their reserves. Teething problems: Bebe struggled to make an impression on his debut for the reserves Sir Alex Ferguson, who signed Bebe without watching him play, didn't turn up to see him last night either - which was just as well for the Portuguese, who put in an anonymous display against Aston Villa. Bebe, whose last game was in Portugal's third division, started on the right wing. Clever dummy: The £7.4m Portuguese striker attempts to break through the Aston Villa defence He picked out Ravel Morrison with his first cross, but that was to prove the high point. A switch to the left didn't help matters and Villa won 4-1.

Madden 11 Adds Gus Johnson as Announcer!!!
ZFarls | May 21, 2010 | Comments 0
Well, I could try and write this post with as much emotion and excitement as Gus Johnson brings to each game, but it would be in all caps and size 44 with exclamation points EVERYWHERE!!!!!
So, instead I come to bring you some facts.
- Gus Johnson has joined the Madden 11 broadcast team.
- He will be replacing Tom Hammond who did a below average job. After having Al Michaels, Tom didnt bring the same aura to the position. Now we are gonna get energy from Gus and likely forget about Tom.
Gus called the Broncos Vs. Bengals game in Week 1 where Brandon Stokely caught the long tipped pass for a game winning TD, Gus went nuts! Also Stokely used the Madden "Move" by running across the goal-line to waste time, maybe an NFL first!
Gus became his own Trending Topic on twitter during the March Madness game between K-State and Xavier. Not because he swore or slipped up, but because he was SO good at bringing excitement into the game.
He does multiple sports from Football, Hoops and even MMA.
I want Gus to call the soundtrack to my life. (with Make It Rain in the background)
Not sure if Chris Collinsworth will be back, but I hope not. Its not that he was bad, but after 2 years you can use a change. Alot of the lines are similar from year to year and the more you play, the more you realize it. With a new color guy, atleast the voice and inflection are different, so even if they say the same things, your mind feels refreshed.
I mean, you haven't lived until you caught a football and had one of them clowns flip you upside down? AMIRIGHT!?!

So happy to have Cami from Tidbits back today, sharing some crafting and experimental fun with all of us! I remember making similar VOLCANOES as a kid……but have forgotten about it. My kids would love this…..as much as her little girls seem to be enjoying it in the pictures below. Thanks for the reminder and the excellent instructions Cami! :)
. . . . .
I have to say, isn't Ashley's new little bundle just the sweetest!!!! So happy for her and her family!! You know, this week I just kept thinking to myself that I better get this post sent to her to put up so she doesn't think she needs to come up with some crazy genius craft and leave us all wondering how she does it all, with a new baby and everything. Am I right? Enjoy that baby Ashley! (But keep the updates coming on instagram – wink).
So, I imagine you've heard the phrase "Oldie but Goodie". I keep running across it lately, especially in the bloggy-blog world. Must be a new trend . . . . I mean old . . . . . or whatever.
Anyway, I bring you a project for your kiddo's (or you I suppose), that is most definitely an "oldie but goodie". I call it an "oldie" because I am getting old (30 this month!) and I distinctly remember doing this in my 3rd grade class. I call it a "goodie" because it must have been pretty good to remember all this time.
But in all truth, I picked an "oldie but goodie" to share because my baby has decided to not sleep through the night any more and my brain is tired and I couldn't come up with an original idea at the moment.
But nonetheless, here is a fun project that will occupy the little ones during activity time for at least 3 days!!
A project that will include a sensory experience, creativity, and discovery – ALL IN ONE!!
A project that is sure to "BLOW UP" summer boredom.
Boy or Girl, your kid is going to LOVE this activity!!
My kids range from 7 to 3 years of age, and it was all 6 hands on deck for every part of this project.
Each one could be equally involved in every step, and they all had so much fun!! Me included!!
And believe me, my girls "exploded" their volcanoes again and again and again……. Pure fun!
I am going to walk you through each step in helping your child make his/her volcano – and how to blow it up! **Proceed to the end of the post if you would like a fun learning printable about volcano's for you and your child to work on.
Let's get started!!
Making the dough:
I tweaked and tested the recipe and settled with the following measurements for the perfect amount of dough for 1 personal sized volcano.
- 4 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cups salt
- 1 Tbls oil
- 1 3/4 cups water
Mix as follows:
(I use gloves for everything. I hate yucky stuff in my nails)
And there you have it! Enough dough for 1 volcano.
- Volcano dough (see above)
- 1 water bottle, cut in half
- Piece of cardboard covered with tinfoil (I flipped over a paper plate and covered it. Lazy I guess – or just smart. You could also use a cookie sheet, but I didn't have 3 to spare.)
- Pastry Cloth – This is totally optional but it worked awesome for this project. See my tutorial here.
- Rolling Pin – Optional as well, but the kids had fun with it.
Hand the dough to your child, and let them roll it . . . .
Painting the Volcano:
This was my favorite part. But then again, I love to paint anything ;)
We used whatever craft store acrylic paint we had on hand, and some foam brushes.
Then I drug my kids outside right before bed time and already in their pajama's, to paint their volcano's.
We had a great time chatting and enjoying the cool summer night.
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
- 3 drops of food coloring
- Few drops of dish soap
- 1 cup distilled vinegar
Do the following:
My girls just couldn't get enough of this. And after they realized no one was going to loose any limbs by this explosion (ewe, sorry – way gross) they just kept going and going . . .

The Mesa Police Department announced it has arrested a man who allegedly strangled a 14-year-old girl to death more than 33 years ago.
At a press conference on Aug. 8, Mesa Police Chief Frank Milstead said DNA testing conducted by the department linked 48-year-old Angel Chris Bello to the murder of Tina Reed, who was found dead in a construction ditch near Dobson Ranch on Jan. 21, 1980.
Although Bello was also 14-years-old at the time of the murder, Mesa Police Lt. Ken Cost said he'll be tried as an adult, and the Maricopa County Attorney's Office indicted him on one count of first degree murder on June 20. Bello entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment on July 22.
Bello is in the midst of a 17-year prison sentence for the rape of two real-estate agents in 1986 and 1987, and Milstead said he would have been up for parole in 18 months.
"Hopefully, he'll never see the light of day again," he said.
Cost said the process to pick which cold cases the department pursues — he said it currently has 26 such cases assigned to nine detectives — is dependent on the evidence at hand. While he said no open homicide case is ever closed, the order the department investigates those cases is based on a review of the documents related to each case and the determination of which ones have the most evidence to work with.
Although the evidence has existed for 33 years, Cost said the technology needed to analyze it wasn't available until now.
"It's basically a case of technology catching up to the case," he said.
During his comments at the press conference, Milstead noted the duration of the investigation encompassed the service tenures of multiple Mesa investigators.
"That's probably three generations of detectives that have worked this case over the years," Milstead said.
Milstead also announced the solving of a second cold case involving the kidnapping and sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl in 2002. The suspect, 32-year-old Diamorrio Reed, is a registered sex offender in Tennessee and will be extradited to Arizona in 2014.

In our era of customization, it wasn't long before a company came along that offered fully customizable yet affordable furnishings, and that company is Evolvex furniture. Based in Australia, this modular furniture brand lets customers completely personalize products online. Whether you're creating a shelf, table or desk, you can fully customize its color, dimensions and more. Plus, because Evolvex furniture wants its customers to be 100 percent satisfied, it even allows you to rework and recreate your furniture piece after you've purchased it.
According to the brand's director, Priyanka Rao, Evolvex lets customers create themselves the items that will best fit their needs, rather than having to physically travel to different furniture stores to find the perfect piece. Rao also says that the Evolvex furniture system provides customers with an instant price estimate based on the different choices he or she makes when designing the piece. According to Rao, it's a "vast change from the 2-5 day quote lead time you'd get from a traditional cabinet maker."

Great service but rooms were disappointingByRoxyOttawa January 09, 2015 I booked the Crowne Plaza expecting a very nice hotel, and as I would be leaving early the next day, the lack of free breakfast was not an issue. The front desk was very warm and friendly. The lobby looked very nice (ignoring the construction at the front door) The dinner at the restaurant was very good for both the food and ambience for the price. However, the room itself was very disappointing. The bed/mattress felt like it was a much lower brand of hotel. There were breadcrumbs in the cradle of the phone that I noticed when I wanted to request a wake up call. And the worst thing for me was the huge crack down the middle of the wash basin in the bathroom.

CAVENDISH coach Brad White was a relieved man after the Bloods' 31 point win over Branxholme-Wallacedale on Saturday and thankful that his men started playing their style of football in the second half to overcome a 17 point deficit five minutes into the third quarter.
"Branxholme really took it up to us," he said.
"They really showed the emerging side that they are going to become and they gave our boys a bit of a rev up.
"They really demonstrated that when you ran and carry the footy and you hit your targets, that you can break the game open.
"The game was played in two halves … I reckon the first half went to them and in the second we had to respond, we did, and that was the pleasing aspect.
"The style of footy we played in the first half was not what we've been working on … polar opposite, the second half was exactly what we've been working on and we kicked 12 goals to their five.

Cat Hosts Christmas Dinner for Dogs [VIDEO]
What happens when a cat hosts a holiday meal for dogs?
What happens when a cat hosts a holiday meal for dogs?
The phrase "scaredy cat" may have come from this poor feline.
This list of the 10 funniest cat videos cover many of the outlandish predicaments that these cute and cuddly felines somehow get themselves into.
Gambling can become an addiction, one that affects us all. Even cats.
Cats love to squeeze into tight spaces: barely open drawers, the gap between the wall and the couch, and, of course, cat-size jars.
I have to start out by saying that my husband is not a cat lover, in the slightest. However, every Saturday he eagerly awaits the new Cat Saturday posts. He then spends a good half an hour laughing (almost to the point of tears) at cat picture after cat picture.
Even if you sleep for 20 hours a day, like a standard housecat, there's really nothing like a good back rub to relax you.
They're supposed to be archenemies, right? But you'd never know it by how these cats and dogs are behaving.
This just might be the best commercial for a mobile network with a singing cat that you'll ever see.
Cats have, shall we say, a bit of a reputation for being not the friendliest of species. We would like to dispel that myth.

I had a funny problem last week. As usual, I bought a large bunch of bananas when I went to do my weekly grocery shopping. The very next day, my sister sent a large bunch of bananas to my house with her girls; leaving me with about 20 bananas.
I gave them to the girls as much as possible, integrating them in different things but I just couldn't use them fast enough. I truly dislike wasting food so it was time to get creative. Of course I knew I could make some banana bread but I was looking for something different. A friend suggested I make banana cookies. I did and we loved them! I decided to share this recipe with you because the ingredients are all things I had in my home already. Those recipes are the best! So here it is:
Oatmeal Banana Cookies
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups oats
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2-3 mashed bananas
- chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Combine first 5 dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, cream both sugars, shortening and applesauce. Add to that the egg, vanilla and mashed bananas. Combine the wet and dry ingredients; mix well (batter will be pretty wet). Drop spoonfuls on a cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes.
You could add chocolate chips to the batter but I didn't have enough to do that. I only had about 1/3 of a bag of them. So I melted them and drizzled the chocolate over the top. Perfect. Or you could leave the chocolate out altogether and sell them as "Breakfast Cookies!"
Why I do what I do ~ Seriously, I had to hide these because the little girls couldn't get enough of them!Have you liked Domestic Cents on Facebook yet?

Keating Capital Announces Distribution Of $0.03 Per Share To Stockholders
On December 6, 2012, the Board of Directors of Keating Capital, Inc. (Nasdaq: KIPO) ( www.KeatingCapital.com) declared a cash distribution of $0.03 per share. The distribution is payable on December 26, 2012, to stockholders of record as of December 14, 2012 (the "Record Date"). The aggregate cash distribution of $282,203 will be payable on all shares of the Company's common stock outstanding as of the Record Date and represents a distribution of the Company's net realized capital gains for 2012.
The Company's net realized capital gains for 2012 were comprised of realized gains of $403,631 from the Company's disposition of 65,000 shares of Solazyme, Inc., reduced by realized losses of $121,428 from the disposition of the Company's entire position of 160,000 shares of NeoPhotonics Corporation.
The Company's dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") provides for reinvestment of dividends, unless stockholders have previously elected to receive cash. If you are a stockholder and your shares of the Company's common stock are held through a brokerage firm or other financial intermediary and you wish to discuss your participation status in the DRIP, please contact your broker or other financial intermediary.
Timothy J. Keating, the CEO of Keating Capital, commented that "this is Keating Capital's first distribution of net realized capital gains and a very important milestone in our short history. As of September 30, 2012, the weighted-average holding period for the overall portfolio was 10.6 months. With a target average holding period for each investment of three years, the portfolio is still young. This capital gain distribution from the first-of-its-kind fund evidences the type of capital appreciation that is potentially available from the step-up in valuation as companies transform from private to public status."
About Keating Capital, Inc. Keating Capital is a business development company that specializes in making pre-IPO investments in innovative, emerging growth companies that are committed to and capable of becoming public. We provide investors with the ability to participate in a unique fund that allows our stockholders to share in the potential value accretion that we believe typically occurs once a company transforms from private to public status.

Lexus Replacement Head Light Switch
For many years the solid design of Lexus autos has been the poster child of power and craftsmanship. Having the right safety equipment is the most important thing you can do to ensure your family's safety on the road. A Headlight Switch usually has three tasks: turning on and off your vehicle's headlights, turning on and off your high beams, and turn signal. The vehicle's Headlight Switch is a component which is used to illuminate the headlights. The vehicle's Headlight Switch probably has multiple tasks: switching on and off the headlights, turning on and off your vehicle's high beams, and turn indicator lights. If your automobile's headlights don't turn on when they should, your car may very likely need a Headlight Switch. If a car's high beams and headlights fail to work reliably, you probably need a Headlight Switch. Your vehicle's Headlight Switch is a mechanism that is designed to control your high beams and headlights. A faulty Headlight Switch will result in safety problems because a driver will have difficulty seeing the road.
the new light switch was great it installed with ease and worked perfect.

Hi, Fellow Dwellers-in-Smaller-Homes,
I have a closet problem with which some of you may be able to help. My master closet is a reach-in (not a walk-in), and it is a generous 11 linear feet wide. This would be fabulous, except that I can only access a maximum of 34" at any given time due to the way it is configured. I'll try to post pics below, but basically to the right and to the left of the sliding doors is an additional 29" of space on each side that I really can't access without partially climbing into the closet and stretching out in the dark to dig something out. I would like to maximize my storage space within the opening, but I can';t figure out how to install any kind of organizers without blocking off that 29". I can take the doors off and go with curtains like I did in my kids rooms, and that would give me a nice 6' wide opening in the middle. But I still can't figure out how to access the 29" blind spots on either side. This should be a pic of the closet. Behind the walls on either side of the doors (where the hooks are) is the additional closet space:
This is the unreachable 29" on my side:
Here is a link that might be useful: closet with blind corners We have similar closets, and I haven't tried to do anything special with them. About all I do is rotate the clothes in the closet so that the clothes for the current season are right in front of the opening and the out-of-season clothes (and seldom-worn clothes) are the ones in the black hole. I also try to purge regularly to make sure I'm not suffering simply so I can continue to store things I'm never going to wear again. This is a tougher job with DH, actually, who at last count had 73(!) shirts in his closet. I do try to purge a minimum of twice a year, and I do rotate hanging clothes into the black hole (well put!) out-of-season. I do like the shelf idea that ShadesOfIdaho posted to my flickr page, though. Maybe I can do shelves on the bottom and hanging clothes over the top? I'm not hanging any ball gowns that require full-height hanging space. It's certainly not the worst house-related problem to have, that's for sure. But it is just odd that they built them this way in every single bedroom. Black Hole or not, the relatively generous closets are the main reason we are still able to live in our small house (no attic, no basement, no garage). maybe you could put in a double rod for most of the area open to the doorway - with 1' or so (if needed) for longer items. We had similar closets in our old home. We turned the narrower ones into mini walk-ins with hanging clothes on either side of the door and nothing in the middle. We did the same with our wider closet, but we were able to put some hanging clothes in the middle. I did a real quick sketch of what our wide closet looked like. The black lines are the walls and the blue lines are either shelves or hanging rods. LOL LOL LOL I have done exactly the same thing. This is a GREAT idea. Saving it even though I do not need it right now I might later. Would be great for our hallway closet. Thank you geokid!!! If you put the shelves at about 42" and 84"' you can easily reach to hang clothes on the top rods. Or just have a small stool handy. Or whoever is taller gets the top rows. :) The long hanging side we hung at about 6'. There's still some room on the floor underneath for a laundry basket for dirty clothes. We used wire shelves and the metal wall-mounted rods. You just need to find the stud and attach it all the way up. It's fairly easy. And then you can move shelves as needed and cut the wire shelves and rods to size. It's pretty inexpensive too! Here is a link that might be useful: Wire Shelving Chris Use a shelf for t-shirts, 1 for sweats, 1 for purses, 1 for misc stuff/stacked plastic shoe boxes (labeled), 1 for night shirts, etc I lined the back of one of my closets with 15" deep shelves. On the upper shelf over clothes rods I'm putting a few shelving spacer thingies, like this - (I'm just moving stuff over and putting in area close to room / space it will eventually 'live') - Please Note: Only registered members are able to post messages to this forum.

Bank Line
Tarred nylon twine, informally referred to as Bank Line, is a great alternative to 550 Paracord. Useful for a variety of tasks, bank line can be used to secure small items, set-up guylines for shelter, setting traps and snares, fishing, and much more. It's black in color and the tar treatment greatly improves the twines knot holding ability. Twines are uniformly coated and are slightly tacky to the touch. Available in 250ft and 1000ft spools.

Good article. A the son of an uneducated farm worker, born during the Great Depression in western Canada, I was fortunate to have two older sisters (10 and 12 years older) who instilled in me a great desire and love of learning. I was the first child of the four to graduate high school with a university entrance qualification, as a result of MY choices of courses! I obtained two post graduate degrees and three professional designations. At 39 I discovered by accident that my IQ was in the top 1%. Today I am long retired, and happily divorced, and in that Swiss bank group that is worth in excess of $1 million. That would not be possible in any socialistic country, unless my parents were staunch Communists and survived various purges. Democracy is the answer, as usual.
Upward mobility is not nearly so important as making sure that those in the bottom half to three-quarters can lead happy, fulfilling lives. That is where we are falling down.
I read the article more carefully a second time and realize my previous post was quite off the subject. Apologies. Got carried away with my spiel about the relationships between cognitive abilites, education and the attainment of wealth.
I hearken to a quote attributed to Albert Einstein: Education is that which remains when one has forgotten everything learned in school." And then another attributed to Amadeus Mozart: Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Both men in possession of extraordinary cognitive abilities and passion as the driving "life force" in their existence agreed on one thing: Education (the kind you go to school for) is overrated as a means to the end of achievements.
It does seem to me the only thing a fromal education is good for is enabling the conditions to develop the mind. Sometimes, and that may even be a case of more often than not, the enabling is accomplished by negative stimuli. History abounds with exmaples of flunk-outs who do better than thier incurious and unquestioning peers.
It seems to me as well that educational aside, high cognitive abilities have litte to do with the accruel of wealth. There a love for wealth as a test of one's ability to achieve is equally important.
But of course if one is stupid to begin with, the world, as we know it, is a cruel place. But then there is the saying: No brain; no pain.
- I agree, teaching/education needs to be re-designed & improved.
- More accurate information needs to be make available and shared...especially information relating to the best practices of doing things...accepting that justice and fairness is applied.
- More control immmigration should be encouraged & allowed.
- Gini Coe. should be made(by policy and Law) to trend towards zero.
Maybe I'm just a little tiered over here, or else not destined for preordained success. But would anyone be good enough to clarify the syllogism in the last paragraph?
"The cost of higher education has contributed to plummeting birth rates among pushy parents in other rich countries, too. Greens may rejoice at anything that curbs population growth, but the implications of these trends are troubling. Demography makes it harder for people who start at the bottom of the ladder to climb up it. And that has political consequences."
I don't quite understand how the costs of higher education and plummeting birth rates for the elite leads to 'demography making it harder for people who start at the bottom of the ladder to climb up'. Even though I see the merit of each of the sentences in itself, I fail to see any causation. So as a final conclusion it's a bit frustrating.
The vast majority of stupid people are that way because of the failure of the education system to address their particular learning needs when in school. At the moment teaching styles are the same for all children. And children who do not focus are not helped to focus. This leads to lack of intelligence in adulthood.
Otherwise if it is purely genetic and only intelligent people gave birth to intelligent children then the human race would go into some kind of reverse evolution.
There needs to be a revolution in educational standards. We are still teaching kids the same way after hundreds of years. I prospered despite the education system (not because of it). Many of my peers were not so fortunate.
Napoleon I. once expropriated a rich man. It took him one year to become as rich as before. Money is what you know and who knows what you know or what you may know. But it doesn't end here, as Hobbes assumed (your worth is what your power might be worth to others). If you have knowledge on the knowledge of others of you, you instead of the market set your price to others. Geld ist Geist. The stupid are bound to be poor.
"As technology advances, the rewards to cleverness increase. Computers have hugely increased the availability of information, raising the demand for those sharp enough to make sense of it. In 1991 the average wage for a male American worker with a bachelor's degree was 2.5 times that of a high-school drop-out; now the ratio is 3. Cognitive skills are at a premium, and they are unevenly distributed."
This is the most interesting paragraph, in my view, and this kind of competition will only get more intense.

Olympic-standard food in East London
Tuck into a hearty breakfast at The Counter, an airy cafe with views of the Olympic Stadium. (Matt Munro)
In times past, London's East End was not known for its culinary excellence, specialising in typical working-class foods such as jellied eels, cockles, and pie and mash. Today, however, this area is in the midst of a food revolution, home to some of the most innovative and downright delicious offerings in the British capital. This is good news for visitors to the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as the main stadium is within close proximity, allowing plenty of opportunities to sample East London's best modern and traditional fare.
Cafés around the Olympic site
A javelin's throw from the main Olympic Stadium is the Counter Café, a laid-back coffee den and restaurant located within the Stour Space building, which also houses a contemporary art gallery. The cafe has soft leather couches and large windows, where you can sit and look out at the curves of the outer Olympic Stadium wall. The emphasis is on organic produce, whether it is whisked into a fluffy scramble as part of the all-day brunch or baked into a golden-crusted homemade pie with fillings like lamb and aubergine, or pork, apple and fennel. During the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Counter Café will be a very popular option, so reservations for breakfast, lunch and dinner will be necessary well ahead of time.
For a good café alternative less than a mile to the north, try the Hackney Pearl , an award-winning restaurant and bar that specialises in weekly-rotating modern British dishes such as plaice with wild garlic butter and roasted Suffolk lamb as well as steaming cups of Square Mile coffee, some of the best beans roasted in London.
Not just another mall meal
The prospect of dining in a large shopping mall does not often inspire great expectations, but London's second Westfield, which opened recently less than a mile from the Olympic Stadium, has one or two surprising exceptions. The Franco Manca pizza restaurant in the Brixton neighbourhood has often been dubbed "the best pizza in London", and its Westfield branch continues the tradition, producing perfect, brick-oven, crisp-yet-chewy sourdough pizzas. Toppings are traditional and locally sourced where possible — such as the creamy buffalo mozzarella delivered from a farm in Somerset — and are best washed down with a glass of organic Ottavio Rube Italian wine.
Fresh, fast Mexican street food with a view of the Olympic Stadium is served at Westfield's Wahaca and they serve delectable tamarind margaritas as well. Fresh, handmade pasta can be enjoyed at Pasta Remoli.
Fine dining
Les Trois Garcons in Shoreditch is a little farther afield — a 15-minute taxi ride — but it is well worth the extra miles. With swaying strings of crystals, stuffed animals wearing tiaras (including a giraffe's head emerging horizontally from a wall), rich antiques in every corner and vintage handbags hanging from the ceiling, this converted Victorian pub is as notable for its lavish décor as it is for its food. The exceptional modern French cuisine, including dishes such as tea-smoked salmon with sesame and pickled fennel, followed by heavenly lemongrass pannacotta with tarragon ice cream, makes for a special meal away from the Olympic crowds.
For more adventurous modern cuisine influenced by a master of molecular gastronomy, try Viajante, one of London's most experimental restaurants — a short Tube trip from the nearest Olympic Stadium station of Stratford to Bethnal Green — featuring unusual combinations such as duck heart with apple ribbons, pig's tail with sweet cornbread, and milk sorbet with pickle and fresh cucumber.
Traditional East London fare
Less than a mile west of the Olympic Stadium, G Kelly's Noted Eel and Pie Shop is a simple, sleek outfit of white-tiled walls and smartly uniformed staff, where traditional East End dishes have been served since 1939. Freshly baked minced beef pies come with lashings of mashed potato, all drizzled with a secret-recipe parsley sauce. Braver-hearted souls can try the eels, either served piping hot with mash, or cold, set in gobs of clear aspic
jelly and dressed with vinegar and pepper. Sue Venning is the latest in a long family line to run the shop and is well accustomed to convincing the uninitiated to sample a bite. "I ask them, 'Do you eat sushi?'" Sue said with a bright laugh. "And when they admit that they do, I say, 'Well then you can eat cold eels – what's the difference?'"
