More on German Restaurants
Most restaurants with a German base are known to serve their famous German bratwurst recipe dishes with special bratwurst seasonings that make it taste just right. However, nothing is better than being served their famous German potato salad, sauerkraut, bratwurst meals that have a little of everything German in it. If possible, try out the Old World German Bratwurst with the majority of them having nutmeg and mace, but no gluten, fillers, additives or preservatives, the perfect German food! Other German foods in the bratwurst field are sausage, Weisswurst, Nurnberger, with fresh backed German brotchen - a German hard roll to compliment the German meats. Not all the restaurants are of the Old World tradition, but some of the best are. Another specialty of the local German Restaurants is hot German potato salad with vinegar and sugar altering the taste to each German chef. More than just a potato salad, the Germans have a unique recipe with new potatoes, onions, bacon, red onions, cider vinegar, mustard seed and canola oil. Once a person takes a bite out of this, plain old American potato salad will never be the same. One of the healthiest foods in the German food line of local German Restaurants is raw sauerkraut, an abundant source of Vitamin C and lactobacilli. This is a member of the lactic acid bacteria which plays an important role in preventing tooth decay in people, able to convert lactose and sugars to lactic acid. German beer, wine, pickles, cheese, and cider belong to this group. In the early German days, recipes from both Germany and Bavaria had to be simple and fast, versions of some of the most famous German foods today. If you wish to partake in the touch of the Old World, try out our local German Restaurants!

So damned cute!!!! I will build one, with no use in sight, just yet! Great job!
Plans to build a Pottery Barn Kids inspired Number Cubby Shelf. This shelf features eight small cubbies in a vintage paint finish. Free simple step by step plans use standard lumber and simple tools. Build this Number Cubby Shelf for under $10.
3 - 1x3 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x2 @ 8 feet long
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
4 - 1x3 @ 38 3/4"
2 - 1x2 @ 38 3/4"
9 - 1x3 @ 7 1/4" (One end cut at 45 degrees off square, long point measurement)
I cut a scrap 1x3 to 4" length and used it as a block to help me space the dividers. Then I nailed the dividers to the bottom, spaced 4" apart. This part was a bit tricky, because my nailer requires me to push really hard (it's battery powered) so you may just want to mark screw holes, predrill, and attach with screws. Don't forget your glue.
Now you still want to make sure the back is 4" spaced at the top. Attach the back boards to the cubby dividers and bottom with 2" finish nails and glue. As you near the top, use 1 1/4" finish nails because the miter cut will not give you enough clearance for the 2" nails.
And now nail the front boards on, again, using the 4" block as a guide.

This is such a great finish! And the cubbies are great!
Cherie Heltne replied on Permalink
I have been looking for something to organize my 5 kids homework supplies. This is perfect and will look great no matter what room I hang it in. Thank you for the instructions on the finish, it makes the piece. I agree that the planks fit the project better than the solid boards.
Lori E replied on Permalink
Soooo cute!! Thanks for the plans!
marlaandwilliam replied on Permalink
Hi Ana - this would be PERFECT for my classroom for supplies!! Can you tell me how to modify it and what the shopping/cut list would need to be to make it have 13 cubbies instead of 8?
Ana White replied on Permalink
62 1/2" :)
You'd need to almost double all the boards because you can only get one 62 1/2" out of an 8 foot stick. But these boards are about a buck each.
I love this. I have 11 kids 8 still at home and this is perfect for the new school year. Great for homework supplies and enough spots too...
Amy Parnell replied on Permalink
I agree, this is way cuter than PB's. I will be making this very soon! Thank you Ana!
Meg :) replied on Permalink
Ooh! Super cute! Looks easy to build! :)
This could easily be modified to be smaller, or larger. I'm even imagining First Initials instead of numbers and a longer back panel so I could hang coat hooks on the bottom. Hats & Mittens up top, Coat down below!
It's a great shelf as it is, or with some changes!! :)
The Quaint Cottage replied on Permalink
Nice job on the finish. I will need to add this to my list. Thanks for sharing.
lugnutgirl replied on Permalink
Hi, Ana -- Found your blog a couple of weeks ago and I'm HOOKED! Thanks so much for your wonderful projects -- I have a couple of projects of my own started, based on some of your plans, and I can't wait to see how they turn out!
I see you include wood conditioner on your list of supplies. I have heard other designers (mostly on DIY Network) also say you can use water, since it also is supposed to open the pores of soft wood. What do you think?
Suzzi replied on Permalink
Love the blog! I have been a lurker as well - so can wait to start with a project like this.
Can't wait to make this for my son's room - it is so cute! Want to go get my lumber right now but I promised my husband I'd finish a few projects before I start another. I'm good at starting, not at finishing!
ikissedatoad replied on Permalink
i will be making this for my sewing room! i usually have the next 5-6 projects laid out across my floor- but this way i can stuff coordinating fabrics into each bin and clear up my floor space! i'm so stinkin' excited!
Sydney replied on Permalink
It never ceases to amaze me how expensive stuff is at Pottery Barn! I like your version better, Ana.
Guest replied on Permalink
Sewing room, office, son's room for video games and the list goes on. Ana this is a really cleaver design. I love the numbers and the finish too.
I love it. So cute with so many uses. This is moving to the top icky to do list.
Last comment was suppose to say I was moving this project to the top of my list.
Guest replied on Permalink
Much nicer than the PB inspiration. Good job!
Ana White replied on Permalink
Thanks everyone! Such a fun project, can't wait to see brag posts!
For those of you questioning the wood conditioner, it was an error on my part. All fixed.
Sunny E replied on Permalink
Love this project. I'm going to make a "writing center" for my girls, and this will be great. I modified a bit. I cut the 8' boards in half, so that I have room for 10 cubbies with 4' spacer like you did. Measurements worked perfectly!
I will number mine 0-9 because we homeschool math with the Math-U-See books, and they stress counting from 0-9 rather than 1-10.
Don't know if the boards are smaller in Texas, but I couldn't get a good fit with the 7.5 inch boards as the uprights. My two 1x3 and one 1x2 didn't come up high enough in the back to make a full 8". So I moved the 1x2 to the front for a taller box, then used a spare 1x4 on the back to make the back taller. So my back is 1x4, 1x3, 1x3 and front is 1x2, 1x3, 1x2. Will post when I get it painted. Next time I will cut the upright boards smaller so that crayons will fit better.
I'm hooked! I'm building my 5th cubbie shelf right now!
Guest replied on Permalink
Great project.
I built it last night. One comment though, I cut the divider boards at 7-1/4 inches, but this didn't seem to work out with the width of the front and back boards. The back calls for 2 3" and one 2" board (6-1/2 total width 2-1/2 + 2-1/2 + 1-1/2). the total height of the back is 8" including the bottom. Should the boards have been spaced apart 3/4"? Or should the dividers been cut different?
rainiemills replied on Permalink
I built this project but noticed some differences in the plan.
I needed an extra 1/2 for the back otherwise there was a huge gap, and the measurements for the insides of the blocks were a little bigger than noted in the plan. Both were easy fixes and I love how my shelf turned out!
soniathebuilder replied on Permalink
It's really nice of you to post your work. It's super helpful for a novice like me.
I have yet to build my first project, but I am pretty confident that I can do it!
Thanks a lot.
I really appreciate your hard work.
God bless you.
birdsandsoap replied on Permalink
Ana, I love your site so much! I know this plan has been up for a while, but that is the beauty of anawhite.com. It has just been waiting here for me to discover a use for it. My oldest girl is turning five this fall, and we are "officially" kicking off her first year of homeschooling. I'm going to modify this to make it large enough to store books and activities for each subject (like one giant magazine storage box). Can you say organized? Woot! If I ever finish my other projects, that is!

How Long is Forever?
A friend of mine in New Mexico is descended from a Spanish family that has been in Albuquerque since 1593. His ancestors were among the first settlers given land grants by the church when Spain first settled that area. Wow. Four hundred and twenty-one years ago. Nearly 200 years before the United States was founded.
New Mexico was the 48th state to enter the union in 1912, almost 100 years after Illinois entered in 1818. In 1818, New Mexico was still part of (old) Mexico!
And, as long ago as that all seems from 2014, there is a city in New Mexico that has been inhabited by Native Americans since about 1200 AD. Old Acoma (Sky City) sits on the top of a 365 foot tall mesa, and while only 15 or so people live there year-round today, the Pueblo was home to hundreds of people for hundreds of years. (The photo was taken from the Acoma Sky City).
But, even 800 years is a drop in the bucket in comparison to forever.
There's an oak tree at Gateway Park in Harvard that is at least 400 years old. That oak was possibly there when my friend's family settled in New Mexico! I wonder how many oaks were there on the property in 1593 when that one first sprouted. How many 100s of years had oak trees grown on that land? 500? 5,000?
And what about the wetland at Gateway Park? How many hundreds or thousands of years was it filled with swamp milkweed, sedges, bullrushes and all of the insects, birds and other wildlife that are coming back to the area now. The rich, deep, organic soils indicate that they were formed over thousands of years of plant growth and decay in a wet environment. Those kinds of soils don't develop rapidly.
You get the gist. Do we measure forever based on our lifetimes? An oak's lifetime? The length of time it takes soil to form? The "life" of a Country?
I've never visited them, but I know that some of the Pyramids in Egypt are more than 4,000 years old. A quick Internet search told me that the oldest structure discovered to date is a temple in Turkey that is more than 11,000 years old! Is that forever?
I'm thinking about this because forever is a word that we use a lot when we talk about our work at The Land Conservancy. We promise to preserve land forever - we don't say we'll preserve it for 100 years, 1,000 years, or 11,000 years, but forever.
Synonyms for forever include everlasting, infinity, and "until the end of time." The dictionary definition includes the phrases "without end," "for a very long time" and "incessantly."
Well, I don't know what you think, but I could probably go on and on about forever until I'm blue in the face, but all things considered, it might be better to wait until the cows come home. Just don't wait until hell freezes over - that would really feel like eternity!
Save Land/Save Ourselves
Over the past 544 million years, Earth's had five major extinction events. A major extinction is one where between 70% and 90% of all species on the planet are lost – never to be seen again. Each of the five was caused by a cataclysmic event – like the meteor that killed the dinosaurs when it slammed into the Yucatan peninsula 65 million years ago.
Over most of the time since the dinosaurs' demise, the total number of species on the planet steadily increased. That is, until about 60,000 years ago when the Anthropocene – "Age of Man" - began.
Since humans came on the scene, species diversity, aka biodiversity, has trended downward, but in the last 500 years, the pace of extinctions has accelerated dramatically. Now, the planet stands poised on the brink of its sixth major extinction event, only this one will be caused by just one species – Homo sapiens – us.
According to a recent article in Time magazine, 25% of species on the planet have gone extinct in the last 500 years. At this time, over a third of remaining species are at high risk of extinction. For some groups of species, more than one-third are at risk – over 40% of amphibians (e.g. frogs and toads) are likely to die off, as are 100% of crickets and grasshoppers! ALL crickets and grasshoppers!
Sometimes, extinction occurs because humans kill the animals (e.g. the Western black rhino, which numbered over one-million in 1900, was declared extinct in 2011 due in large part to poaching for their horns).
Many times, species die because habitat is destroyed or altered to the point where they cannot survive. Structures, like roads, and fragment habitat prevent species from reproducing, so they die out over time. Swamps are "improved" by draining them, and the frogs, turtles, birds and insects that called them home literally dry up and disappear.
While humans may be the problem, there is also the opportunity for us to be the solution.
A recent article in Smithsonian Magazine suggested setting aside half of the Earth for humans and the other half for the roughly 10 million organisms with whom Homo sapiens shares the planet.
Scientists suggest that biodiversity on Earth could be preserved by a network of large protected areas connected by corridors of habitat equal to half the area of the Earth's surface that allow species to move safely across the landscape in response to climate change and natural disasters.
Can it be done? Would humans agree to "give up" half the surface of the Earth to the non-human species with whom we share the planet?
Well, let's look at McHenry County to see what the "half Earth" concept might look like:
McHenry County has more than 390,000 acres of land, so 195,000 acres is half. The Conservation District owns just over 25,000 acres of land, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources owns another 5,000 acres at Moraine Hills and Chain O'Lakes State Parks. Various park districts, TLC lands and privately-owned Nature Preserves add another 3,000 acres, bringing the total to 33,000 acres, or about eight and a half percent of the land area of the county. That leaves another 162,000 acres needed to preserve biodiversity.
162,000 acres is a lot, but consider this – all of the water that humans use in McHenry County comes from aquifers in the ground, and the land area that allows rainwater to soak into those aquifers amounts to 222,000 acres of land, or 57% of the land area of the county.
In other words, if we plan for biodiversity AND human water needs, half the surface area of the county seems quite realistic. When humans realize that their own self-interest is at stake, perhaps there is room for biodiversity?
Local Farmer/Local Food
My husband and I have subscribed to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) service since 2007. For 18-20 weeks during the growing season (typically late June to early October), we receive fresh vegetables grown at a local farm. We like knowing the farmers, and have learned to prepare some vegetables we never would have tried otherwise.
Sometime during the winter, we send the farmer money to reserve our "share" of the coming year's produce. The upfront payment helps the farmer cover his or her costs to get the crop planted and taken care of until the produce is ready for harvest.
Once a week, during the growing season, we visit the farm and pick up a container of produce.
This year, we decided to try a new CSA: Brook Farm on Lawrence Road just northwest or Harvard. 2014 is the farm's first year offering a CSA, but the Brooks are not new to farming.
Rich and Sonja Brook have been producing annual flowers and a variety of vegetables at their farm since 1974. For many years, the Brooks have been fixtures at the Woodstock Farmers Market. They were also instrumental in starting the Harvard Farmer's Market that ran for three years, but was discontinued after the 2013 season.
Four years ago, the Brooks started mentoring a young couple in the farm's operation: Beth and Vijay Narayanan. Beth grew up in Harvard with the Brook's daughter and helped out at the farm during her teenage years.
Recently, I sat down with Beth and Vijay to talk about the farm and their experience as young farmers. They are a lovely couple with three young daughters. Vijay grew up in California, and worked in the construction industry before deciding to begin working with the Brooks to learn the business of farming.
Brook Farm is not certified organic, but they do farm sustainably, using cover crops and applying compost to the fields. On a case by case basis, they treat specific crops for specific pests – but only if they can do so safely with an end result that they will eat themselves.
Brook Farm sells directly to consumers through the CSA, at both the Woodstock and Lake Geneva Farmers' Markets, and from the store that is located on the farm. In addition to retail vegetable sales, they sell produce wholesale to several restaurants including Simple Café in Lake Geneva, and make and sell a variety of popcorn flavors that are popped and packaged at the farm.
Beth and Vijay acknowledge that the CSA has been a learning experience. This year, they started with just 30 shares to test the waters. If selling at Farmers' Markets, they can bring along whatever produce is ready that day. When raising crops for 30 CSA families, they need to be sure that there are at least 30 heads of lettuce, eggplants, etc. ready to be harvested at the same time, and are of similar size and quality to one another – every week, for 18 weeks.
Personally, I think they are doing a great job, and will be looking forward to next week's vegetables.

Respecting property lines
I heard a story the other day about a situation where one neighbor did not like another neighbor's pine tree because the branches grew over part of his yard and he thought the roots were going to crack his foundation. So, the fellow cut all the branches on his side of the tree back to the property line, and then dug a trench along the property line to sever the tree's roots.
Shortly thereafter, there was a big storm and the pine tree blew over onto his house. I guess he got what he wanted… kind of….
Property line disputes are common. Trees, fences, ATVs and lawn mowing were common themes on the Internet when I looked up "property line disputes."
The Land Conservancy of McHenry County holds several parcels of land that preserve natural areas within subdivisions (like Prairie Ridge Fen in the photo), so we have plenty of neighbors. Most of those neighbors are lovely people who appreciate living next to nature and respect the property line between their backyard and the natural area. However, once in a while a neighbor decides to extend his or her "property" into the natural area.
The most common encroachment we see is lawn mowing. Personally, I wouldn't want to mow any more lawn than absolutely necessary, but some folks like mowing so much they mow many feet – 20 or more – into the adjacent natural area. They mow past signs. They mow after being asked – politely – to stop. I have no idea why some people choose to use someone else's property, but they are "kind of" breaking the law.
So are the folks who decide that "nature" won't mind if they dump their yard waste into it. For the record: bags of leaves, broken plastic pots, mounds of grass clippings, etc. do not help natural areas.
Now, let's get back to trees.
As I discussed in a previous blog, in Illinois, the property owner owns any tree whose trunk is located completely on his or her land. And, the tree includes the branches, trunk and roots. If the trunk is even partly on a neighboring property, then the tree is owned jointly by the two neighbors.
These facts are important to keep in mind when faced with a dispute involving a tree and a property line. Another concept that seems helpful is that one is not permitted to do anything to someone else's tree that would harm the tree's health or change its shape unless the tree can be declared hazardous and dangerous. If the tree is owned jointly, then decisions about the tree must be made jointly by the two parties.
In the pine tree situation, the neighbor who removed the branches and severed the roots was wrong to do so. The trunk was completely on his neighbor's property and he did not have the neighbor's permission to cut the branches. Similarly, he did not have permission to cut the roots.
The pine tree was healthy and had a symmetrical shape. By pruning the branches back to the property line, he altered the shape of the tree and probably its health. By severing the roots, he harmed the tree's health. And ultimately, the tree repaid him for his effort.
Try not to let a similar situation happen between you and a neighbor. Talk boundary issues out with the neighbor, and if that is unsuccessful, get your city code officer or an attorney involved.
Do you know the UDO?
McHenry County government has been working for three and a half years to develop something called a Unified Development Ordinance, UDO for short. Essentially, it is a document that combines the zoning, sign and subdivision ordinances into one document. If done right, a UDO resolves any conflicts that may have existed between the various separate regulations and streamline the regulatory framework for development projects.
The desire to unify the development rules into one ordinance grew out of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan that was approved by the County Board in April 2010, setting forth a vision for the future of the county in addition to recommendations for actions to guide future development. Overall, the plan reflects the fact that McHenry County has many precious natural resources that should be preserved as the county population grows in the future.
The final document is over 300 pages long. The County Board's Planning and Development Committee members and Zoning Board members held what seemed link a gazillion joint meetings over the last year or two to review the draft UDO section by section. They tried to meet with all special interest groups to hear comments and concerns. They then tried to balance competing interests.
(In the interest of full disclosure, I have not read the current draft, but did read several chapters of earlier drafts. Additionally, TLC provided many pages of comments related to protection of groundwater quality and standards for conservation subdivision design.)
The UDO was placed up for 30 day review by the County Board at their July 1 meeting. They are planning to discuss and vote on the ordinance at their August 5th meeting.
For people who are interested in the future character and quality of life in McHenry County, you can read the ordinance here: Link to UDO. Additionally, you might be interested in the comments provided to the County Board by the Alliance for Land Agriculture and Water (ALAW). You can read their letter - written by Dunham Township resident Pat Kennedy - by clicking here.

Trees and the Law
What is the law if a tree is on your property, but the branches hang over the neighbor's property?
Does your neighbor have the right to cut the branches that are hanging over his property?
Can he sever the roots along the property line?
What if the trunk is on the property line?
In Illinois, if the tree is growing on your property, it belongs to you. You own the trunk, roots and branches. If you want to remove it, that is your right. If you want to keep it, that is your right too.
Branches: If your neighbor doesn't like the branches that are hanging over his yard, he needs to have your permission before he removes them or prune them back in a way that could harm the tree's health or change its shape (unless the tree or branches are considered hazardous and dangerous - check with your community's code enforcement staff to find out how they define "hazardous and dangerous" trees).
Further, you are not required to pay for trimming or pruning a tree that hangs over the neighbor's property, unless it is considered hazardous and dangerous.
Roots: A neighbor needs your permission if he is going to trench or cut through the roots of your tree, even if he is trenching in his yard. An exception would be if he can show that the roots are damaging his property (maybe harming the foundation of his home or clogging his sewer line).
Property line: If the tree is on the property line, you own it equally, which means that one neighbor cannot unilaterally take down the tree without permission of the other. nor can one neighbor legally sever or damage the root system on his property without your permission.
Recently, someone told me about a situation where there was a pine tree on the property line. One neighbor hated the tree, so he cut off all the branches on his side of the tree and then severed the roots on his side of the lot line. Shortly afterward, there was a storm and the weakened tree fell over - onto the house of the guy who damaged it!
Here's a nice article from the Village of Northfield that might be of interest.
If dead branches from the tree fall on the neighbor's property, you are not obligated to remove and dispose of them (but it might be the neighborly thing to do), just as you are not under any obligation to rake the leaves from your tree that fall on another's property! Frankly, both situations are part of living in a community.
We all have a responsibility to respect the rights of others and their property.
The Buzz about Honey Bees
Did you know that nearly one-third of the produce (fruits, nuts, vegetables) consumed in the US is pollinated by honeybees? And without honeybees, those items would not be available – at least not in the quantities they are today.
Pollination is the process by which plants reproduce. Pollen produced by the "male" part of a plant (called the stamen) is transferred to the "female" part of the plant (the carpel). The next generation of the plant grows from the fruit or seed that results from the union.
The use of bees for crop pollination is big business. At any given moment, truckloads of bee hives are crisscrossing the country to provide pollination services for a flowering crop. Seriously, there are semi-trucks full of bees driving on an Interstate highway right now somewhere in America.
For example, in February and March, 1.4 million colonies of bees arrive in California's Central Valley to pollinate almonds in an area the size of Rhode Island. Each colony has about 30,000 bees, so that means about 50 billion bees are buzzing around that area each year – for two weeks. After the almonds are pollinated, the bees are rounded up and taken to the next blooming crop.
March might find them in Florida's citrus groves, then on to New York for apple pollination in April and May before they head up to Maine to pollinate the blueberry crop in June. A "migratory bee colony" may rack up 11,000 miles in a year.
All that travel takes its toll on the honeybees. For instance, pests and disease spread between the colonies and across the country more readily.
It is believed that this movement contributes to a problem called "Colony Collapse Disorder" that has decimated honeybees. Entomologists, insect experts, have found that bees from CCD hives are infected with a large number of known bee pathogens. It is as if their immune systems have failed – much like AIDS in humans.
Two other stressors for bees are loss of diverse foraging habitat and the chemicals found in pesticides and herbicides.
Just like people, bees are healthier if their food comes from a variety of sources. Imagine eating only almonds for a month, then switching to oranges, then apples, then blueberries – each item being your sole source of nutrition for a month. That is similar to the travelling bee colonies' diets because they travel from one monoculture landscape to the next.
In the case of chemicals, the problems are much more complex. In some cases, both the active ingredients and the adjuvants (substances added to make the chemical work more effectively) have been found to affect bees.
One might wonder why farmers don't have their own bee colonies. Quite simply, an almond farmer in California or blueberry farmer in Maine does not have a year-round food supply to support resident honeybees. If the bees remained after the crop was pollinated, most of them would starve.
Fortunately, there are things that anyone can do to help the honeybees. Visit www.honeybeehaven.org for ideas. For those interested in beekeeping as a hobby, Illinois State Beekeepers Association (ilsba.com) and the Northern Illinois Beekeepers Association (nibainfo.org) are good resources.
Bonnie and Clyde visit the woods
I understand that it is welcome to see something green in the woods after winter - especially after the winter we just had - but just keep in mind that the welcome glint of green you see spells trouble for our native trees shrubs and wildflowers.
That green you see is honeysuckle. Soon to be followed by buckthorn.
The honeysuckle is about 10 days late this year. I can usually count on it starting to "leaf out" by April 12th, but it waited until Earth Day (April 22) this spring.
It might be late this year, but so is everything else, so the same damage will be done.
"Honey" and her good friend "Buck" are like the Bonnie and Clyde of the local oak woods. They are out of control and leaving destruction in their wake. The equivalent of law enforcement - restoration workers armed with chainsaws and herbicide instead of guns - work night and day tracking them and trying to eliminate them from the local woods. But they just keep popping up some place new.
The duo have killed many innocent by-standers - oaks, hickories, native shrubs, wildflowers - who happened to be "in the way." Oh, they didn't intend to kill anyone, but still, others have died because of them.
And, continuing the parallels, Honey and Buck have their supporters who abet them in their murderous spree:
- Some think they are too "pretty" to be bad.
- Others feel they provide a valuable service by forming a dense thicket that keeps people from seeing and moving through the woods.
- A few help them more directly by nurturing them along their journey (these would be the people who actually treat their buckthorn and honeysuckle as welcome parts of their landscape!)
The truth is, they are murderous villains, not folk heroes. Left unchecked, they will destroy the remaining oak woods, wipe out the woodland wildflowers like trillium and wild geranium.
They must be stopped!
Happy Earth Month
On my daily commute, I've been listening to a series of interviews that Bill Moyers did with Joseph Campbell in the 1980's called The Power of Myth. The interviews were first broadcast on PBS in 1988 – a year after Campbell died at the age of 83.
Most readers will have heard of Moyers, a regular on PBS for many years, but may not be as familiar with Campbell. In fact, this is my first foray into Campbell's works that explore the role of mythology in human culture.
I was struck by a comment Campbell made about seeing a photo of the Earth from space: "When you see the Earth from space, you don't see any divisions of nation-states there. This may be the symbol of the new mythology to come; this is the country we will celebrate, and these are the people we are one with."
Sounds like Earth Day.
The concept of Earth Day was first proposed to the United Nations by publisher John McConnell in 1969 as a worldwide event to honor the Earth and promote world peace. According to environment.about.com, "McConnell suggested an annual observance to remind the people of Earth of their shared responsibility as environmental stewards. He chose the vernal equinox…because it is a day of renewal."
In March 1970, the UN Secretary-General issued a proclamation that read: "May there be only peaceful and cheerful Earth Days to come for our beautiful Spaceship Earth as it continues to spin and circle in frigid space with its warm and fragile cargo of animate life."
The first Earth Day celebration in the United States occurred April 22, 1970 – a month after the first day of spring - and continues to this day across the planet. That first event was organized by US Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin as an environmental "teach-in" on college campuses. Nelson chose the date in late April for practical reasons: the weather was likely to be good and the timing would not conflict with school vacations or college exams. The event brought 20 million Americans out to advocate for the Environment.
The flag used for Earth Day depicts the Earth as seen from space against a deep blue background. Please keep that image in mind, and remember that the Earth is the only home we have – all of us: humans of all races and religions, all the animals and plants of all shapes and sizes.
If we take care of her, she will take care of us.
Visit Ancient Oaks
MCC and TLC are working together to sponsor a special tour of some of McHenry County's ancient oak woodlands that are not open to the public.
On May 17th, participants will visit some of the area's oldest living residents, including a 400 year-old white oak that Native Potawatomi Indians likely sat beneath. See gorgeous spring wildflowers in their natural setting and have the opportunity to speak with private landowners about the oak woodlands that they own and cherish.
The tour will also include a visit to one of the largest remaining oak woodlands in the county – site of the brand new Community Research Forest, a public-private partnership that will become a center of study, training and educational opportunities about oak woodland ecology, health and care.
The motorcoach tour will take place rain or shine, and will include hiking on unpaved trails over gently rolling terrain. Lunch is included in the tour fee.

POSTED: Saturday, November 7, 2009 - 9:08pm
UPDATED: Thursday, March 6, 2014 - 10:18am
OVERTON-Last June Justin Wayne Clinton, 10, was brutally attacked and killed by two pit bulls off of County Road 133 near Overton. A small memorial was set up in the place where young Justin lost his life. That was until Saturday after the owners of the pit bull demanded the family to take it down.
Its been only five months since Justin Clinton was mauled to death by pit bulls. He took his last break in a vacant lot owned by the pit bulls owners, Ricky and Christi George.
Shortly after young Justin was laid to rest and the pit bulls euthanized, Justin's classmates put together a small memorial in the spot where he was attacked.
For months family and friends say they paid a visit to the memorial almost daily.
That was until Saturday because the George's demanded the make-shift memorial be removed from their property.
"They said there were too many people out here visiting it and it disturbed them," Justin's mom, Serenia Clinton, said.
Justin's mom, family, friends and Justin's classmates watched Saturday in silence as the memorial was hauled off in the back of a pick up.
"It brings it up all over again, this is where he died," Mrs. Clinton said.
The George's looked on from a distance, demanding people leave immediately.
But those who came out in honor of Justin said they will do what it takes to make sure the memorial is put back up.
"I'm a mother and I can do that," Mrs. Clinton said.
Though the memorial may have disappeared, those who remember Justin said his memory never will.
Kasey Scott, 10, said she misses him everyday and even shared a poem she wrote in honor of her classmate.
"I had a friend and his name was Justin Clinton," Scott said as she read her poem. "He was a real kind and loving boy and that was something I liked about him. I will always love you and you will always be in my heart."
Justin's family told KETK they're trying to pass legislation that they hope will bring attention for the need for responsible dog owners.
A candlelight vigil is scheduled in Justin's honor on November 17th at 7 p.m. at the Leveritt's Chapel School just outside of Overton. Justin's family said anyone is invited and encouraged to attend.

1. I have a potted w. robusta that is about 36 inches tall from soil level (+/-) with 4 fully opened fronds and 2 emerging spears (one partially opened). The two lower (older) fronds are dying from old age. One is yellow/green the other is yellow/brown/green. I know fronds on a palm are the plants food supply. My questions is should I trim the yellowing fronds now or wait til they are brown and crispy? We are having a cooler than normal summer and I want all of the advantages I can get to coax some decent growth from this thing this season.
2. The wife and I deceided since our plant eating cat has passed on to start getting house plants. We are thinking about getting a spindle palm to keep inside during the winter. The problem is the south side of our house has only one window and that is in the kitchen. A no go for a plant that size. The only other option is to put it next to the back door on either side of it where it would get indirect bright light at best (western exposure). Those of you with experience with spindles please chime in on if that location would be good. |

THe mexican fan palm should be fine without trimming since these palms naturally form a skirt of dry fronds on the bottom of the crown, however, if the frond looks really bad, you can just cut it off. Spindle palms should do fine in bright indirect sunlight indoors during the winter. I have to say, that they are one of the easiest palms indoors for me. The only problem I had with mine was scale (which eventually killed it), but it was always one of my favorite indoor plants (I had it by a large bright window which only gave it direct light for literally about 5 minutes during the morning hours. Good luck! |
Ditto, Spindles are wonderful indoor palms. Only, if they grow acclimated to low light levels, they will burn bad if you suddenly expose them to direct sun--so do so gradually if you do increase sun exposure. HAVE mine out on the deck now where it get full, noon-time sun, so it can take it. As for the robustas, I cut off the leaves once they fade. |

Tom Graveney
Christopher Sandford
HF and G Witherby
3 stars
By David Taylor
31 Jul 2011
Christopher Sandford may be better known for his recent biography of Imran Khan, but I was tempted to dig out his 1992 biography of Tom Graveney after twice being reminded of the Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and England batsman in recent weeks. First I read of his association with Arthur Milton, whose life story was reviewed here recently, which was followed by an internet discussion on what players used to do on the rest day of a Test match. The Milton book covered the first of the the two major controversies of Graveney's career - he left Gloucestershire in somewhat acrimonious circumstances after being replaced as captain by the untested 23 year old Tom Pugh, and by the rules of the time was not able to play for his new county for a year; and in 1969 played in a benefit match (for himself) on the rest day of what turned out to be his last Test, given that he was then dropped as punishment.
Although I never saw him play, I can well imagine that Tom Graveney would have been many people's favourite batsman, in much the same way that David Gower and Mark Waugh were to later generations (whether today's Twenty20 fans will get rheumy-eyed in later years thinking of Kieron Pollard and David Warner remains to be seen, in all likelihood I'll never know). Adjectives like "elegant" and "graceful" were those most commonly appled to his batting; he was predominantly a front-foot player, strong on the off side. It wasn't all pretty strokeplay though; he was single-minded enough to make some 47,000 runs in first-class cricket, at an average just shy of 45, with 122 hundreds. And he kept going long after amateur contemporaries like Peter May and Ted Dexter had gone off to do Something in the City. Graveney played like he enjoyed the game, but this tended to count against him; the most common charge was that he didn't take his cricket seriously enough. To be fair it could be said that he under-achieved in the first half of his career. Nor was he necessarily the best choice for a county captain.
The book is largely sympathetic, as you would expect from a biography wriiten in collaboration with its subject, but Sandford does a worthy job, and deals with the two aforementioned episodes in some detail. Graveney was almost lost to the game altogether - after retiring he opened a pub - but he was eventually signed up to do TV commentary for the BBC. The feeling remains though, that more could have been made of him in the May-Dexter-Illingworth era. Well worth seeking out.

21 MCHS DECA competitors headed to state competition in February
Saturday, December 17, 2011
At a Glance …
• Moffat County High School to send 21 Distributive Education Clubs of America participants to state competition in February.
• MCHS teacher: The group is the largest she's ever taken to state.
• Students qualified by taking top slots at previous DECA competitions or by preparing manuals on topics including advertising and sports promotion.
Moriah Mecham faced a perplexing problem earlier this month.
She was a marketing manager for a potato chip company that faced lagging sales with the younger market, and her task was to find a way to make the snacks appealing to the demographic.
In theory, anyway.
Mecham, 14, is a Moffat County High School freshman, and the above scenario was a hypothetical situation posed in one of two role-playing assignments during a Distributive Education Clubs of America district competition Dec. 4 and 5 in Aspen.
Her role-play performances helped her qualify for a state event Feb. 25 through 28 in Colorado Springs.
Of the 26 MCHS students who participated in districts, 21 of them earned a state berth, said Krista Schenck, MCHS business, marketing and technology teacher.
"I was very impressed by our team for having so many place in the top of their event," she said.
The team will be the largest one she's ever taken to state.
Mecham had a feeling she would do well in her event.
"I've never done that good before," she said of her performance at districts.
When it came time to name the top district finishers, she wavered between hope and doubt, not sure if she did well enough to qualify for state.
Then, her name was called, and she was ecstatic.
"I got all excited," she said.
Sophomore Elisa Teeter, 15, also is going to Colorado Springs. She wrote an advertising campaign, one of several manuals students can write to qualify for state.
Teeter's campaign is tailored for a mortuary, and it proposes placing notices for its services in everything from church bulletins to local newspapers.
Teeter's choice of business may seem odd, but it gives her an edge by making her work more noticeable, she said.
"No one would ever do a mortuary," she said.
Because this is her first time going to state with a manual, she's not sure what to expect, she said.
If it's anything like last year's state competition, in which she competed with the Quiz Bowl team, she thinks it will be a worthwhile experience.
"It was just a great time last year," she said.

I tried to use the search function to determine this but was unsuccessful. This is what was leftover after the flower petals died.
I appreciate your help, thanks. Ravi |
Follow-Up Postings:
No, that's the pod. If the petals just recently dropped off the seeds won't have developed yet. If there are fertilized embryos inside the pod it will remain green and over time will grow in size. If there aren't any fertilized embryos inside this pod will turn yellow soon, and then shrivel and fall off. |
- Posted by trfanatic ZONE 5 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Jun 29, 09 at 22:53
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Ravi |
If the seeds within the pod are fertile, the pod should turn to an upright position. If it is still hanging (1C) then likely infertile. |

I've started a thread on the pcsx2 forums trying to figure it out, I've managed to start a new game but I dont know if it will save properly and I have yet to actually start combat cuz it freezes.Well, not much more to say. If anyone can solve the problem, plz contact me per PM or forum entry.
I'm not quite sure why it freezes, sound issues account for a lot of freezing issues evidently but when I put in the null sound plugin it won't even start. Its starting to frustrate me, but I guess I'll keep trying since its supposed to be playable.

Changing Thoughts About Pain Provides Relief
Mind-Body-Spirit News:
To change how you feel, all you may need to do is change how you think. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers studied 214 people who suffered from chronic face and jaw pain and found that chronic pain sufferers who dwelt less on their issues were likely to sleep better and experience less day-to-day pain. Lead study author Luis F. Buenaver, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said, "We have found that people who ruminate about their pain and have more negative thoughts about their pain don't sleep as well, and the result is they feel more pain. If cognitive behavioral therapy can help people change the way they think about their pain, they might end that vicious cycle and feel better without sleeping pills or pain medicine." Study authors suggested that this approach might also help people with other stress-related conditions, such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, neck and back pain, and some headaches. The research appeared in Pain (2012; 153 [6], 1159–66).For the latest research, statistics, sample classes, and more, "Like" IDEA on Facebook here.

Hi there, Katie! Welcome to Fitday!
First off, major congratulations on starting college! I know your family is very proud of you! I assume graduation is coming up in the next month or so. Are you looking forward to it?
Will you be living on campus or at home? College offers its own set of dietary challenges. Good for you for working now on weight loss/management. Congratulations on losing so much already.
I know how difficult it can be to live with depression. My son, who is also in college, lives with it and some days it can be downright debilitating. I'm glad to know you have a good supportive family and friends. That's so very helpful. Remember you have a team of folks who love and support you.
As Carolyn suggested, please consider joining us over on the 7 Days Motivational thread. I just started there last week and have found it to be a warm, caring, creative and funny(!) group. I felt part of community on my first day and I know you will, too!
Hope to see you there!

The Mexican Peso & Brazilian Real Are Collapsing

The "Bullard Put" Is Gone: "It Is Reasonable To Hike Rates In June Or July"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 09:15Having explained last month why he would not bail out the stock market again, (non-voting) Fed member Jim Bullard trotted out the usual vicissitudes this morning on Bloomberg TV trying to sound as upbeat and positive as possible: ECB QE is good for the US economy, low oil prices "unambiguously positive" for US, and ses unemployment below 5% in Q3. But then he unleashed the awful truth:
Warning that "waiting to raise rates, risks falling behind the curve," which sent Treasury yields lower and stocks into a confused frenzy of "what did he say?" as they realize that the upbeat talk is just talk and The Fed will raise rates no matter - as we noted yesterday - it's the lesser of two evils.

Greece Slams EU Bailout-ers: "We Don't Want The $7 Billion, We Want To Rethink The Whole Program"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 08:57UPDATE: "CONSTRUCTIVE TALKS" are over: VAROUFAKIS SAYS WILL NOT ACCEPT SELF-PERPETUATING CRISIS
As Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem (of "template" foot in mouth infamy) heads to Athens for talks today, Bloomberg reports the new Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has a clear message for his European overlords of the past: "We don't want the 7 billion euros...We want to sit down and rethink the whole program." While this exposes the nation's banking system to further runs, yesterday's revelation that Russia could step in with financing should they need it, leaves Dijsselbloem and Shulz with less and less leverage even as Spain's chief economic advisor warns, if Greece doesn't play along, "there will be problems on all fronts."

Q4 Annualized GDP Misses, Tumbles To 2.6% From 5.0%; Surging Personal Consumption Pulled Forward From 2015
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 08:44Following last quarter's upward revised 5.0% GDP, driven higher mostly as a result of even more mandatory Obamacare taxation, Q4 GDP had nowhere else to go but down, the only question was how much. Wall Street estimated 3.0%. Moments ago we got the first estimate for Q4 GDP and it was a miss, printing at 2.6%, and nearly 50% below the Q3 annualized number. This also means that the final 2014 GDP is 2.4%, higher than the 2.2% in 2013 as well as the 2.3% in 2012.

Crucial Employment Cost Index Growth Slows
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 08:37The Employment Cost Index (ECI) has become the new black on economic fashion circles and this morning's data will likely disappoint some. While meeting expectations with a 0.6% QoQ rise, this is slower than the 0.7% QoQ growth in Q3 and what is more problematic is much of the rise was driven by 2.5% YoY rise in Natural Resources industries (which we suspect will absolutely not be there going forward given the layoffs and collapse of the Shale industry). Furthermore, the total cost of employment index was pushed higher YoY by the biggest YoY surge in "benefits" costs since March 2012.

60% Of Retail Sales Growth In Hong Kong Was Due To The iPhone 6
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 08:24The sales of iPhone, which are captured in other consumer durable sales, grew on average 60%y/y since September, propelled predominately by the launch of new product. Excluding iPhones, retail sales value would have contracted almost 1%y/y in October, at the peak of the 'Occupy' movement, and expanded a more subdued 1.3%y/y during Sep-Nov 14 (see figure 1). In other words, over 60% of retail sales growth was attributable to iPhone in late 2014.

Eurozone Deflation Ties Post-Lehman Record, Worse Than Expected
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 07:49With every central bank scrambling to export deflation, and with the Saudis doing everything in their power to definancialize crude as an investment asset and destroy the US shale patch, it is probably no surprise that the ECB is utterly hopeless to prevent Europe from sliding into an all out deflationary contraction, which this morning Eurostat confirmed when it reported that in January, Euro Area deflation was "worse" (assuming it is worse when consumers pay less for goods and services, which it only is if they are sinking in debt) than the -0.5% expected reading, instead sliding from -0.2% in December to -0.6% in January, which also happens to be tied for the worst deflationary print in the Euroarea history, matching the number from July 2009 when the world was reeling in the global Great Financial Crisis depression.

Market Wrap: Treasury-Equity Reallocation Trade Pushes Futures Lower, 10 Year Rises To 1.72%
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 07:08While the US daytime trading session has lately become a desperate attempt to expand multiples on the declining earnings of the S&P500, thanks to recurring BOJ intervention in the USDJPY, to keep the S&P above the 100 SMA at all costs including generous central banker verbal intervention then it is during the US overnight session when global deflationary reality reasserts itself with a vengeance, and sure enough at last check, the 10 Year has rallied with 10Y yield hitting 1.71% before this morning's 4Q GDP release, as well as following the latest deflation number of -0.6% out of Europe (worse than the -0.5% expected) which was the biggest price decline on the continent since 2009. "Treasuries remained well bid overnight due to month-end index adjustments. Some talk of a reallocation from equities to bonds trade going through in both Asia and continuing in Europe," ED&F Man head of rates and credit trading Tom di Galoma wrote in a note to explain the latest Great Unrotation, if only until the Virtu HFT algos get the full blessing of the Fed to ramp the USDJPY, and thus the stock market.

Bank Of Russia Surprises With Unexpected Rate Cut, Brings YTD Total Of Nations Easing To 14
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/30/2015 - 06:38Yesterday we reported that in less than 1 month in 2015, so far a whopping 13 countries have proceeded with "surprising" rate cuts: Singapore, Europe, Switzerland, Denmark, Canada, India, Turkey, Egypt, Romania, Peru, Albania, Uzbekistan and Pakistan. As of this morning, make that total 14, because in one of the more "surprising surprises" so far, it was none other than the Bank of Russia which cut its main interest rate from the 17% shocker it instituted at an emergency session on December 17 to halt the Ruble collapse (as a result of the crude price plunge) to 15% less than an hour ago. At the same time it cut the deposit rate to 14% and the repo rate to 16%.

Occupied By Wall Street – The Latest TARP Taxpayer Screw-Job Is Revealed
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/29/2015 - 22:50The Treasury-created market has benefited a few savvy investors, while saddling taxpayers with a loss. The Treasury, which has held 185 auctions to date, said it has raised about $3 billion on TARP investments that were originally valued at $3.8 billion, for a loss of $800 million at the auctions. The Treasury "set up this market where investors could come in quickly and flip and profit," said Christy Romero, TARP's special inspector general, in an interview. Three private funds have won almost half the shares available at auction, often netting either a profit on paper or on the resale, according to SIGTARP. "As a banker I was happy, but as a taxpayer I was not at all happy," said Chief Financial Officer Donald Boyer. "The discount came out of taxpayers' pockets."

Prejudice was never a good guide, especially during periods when an economic crisis reinforces stereotypes and breeds biggotry, nationalism, even violence...
