I'd like to star using my bath-water to water my yard. I don't want to install a greywater system. I just want to get a pump of some sort which will pump the water through a regular garden hose which I can stick out the window or weave through the front door to water the yard. I'm thinking maybe a discharge pump like those used to empty a spa or pool would work, but I need something that can attach to a garden hose, since a short discharge hose just wont do it. Any suggestions on what type of pump to get? |

is your bathtub in the secound floor? If so you can hook up the drain to pvc and go right out, gravity will do it for you. |

Virtually any pump will work with bathwater as long as the water doesn't have bleach in it. It takes teflon or viton seals in the pumps to withstand sodium hypochlorite. |

Pride 2014 parents: Simone Longpré on being a lesbian mom
Simone Longpré has had to get used to crossing out the "mother" and "father" categories on her children's school forms.
Each time one of the sheets comes home, the parent of three speaks up about having to change the form to list two mothers.
"It should not come home like that," Longpré told the Georgia Straight in an interview. "All it has to do is say 'parent' or 'guardian'.…Come on, this is 2014."
These kinds of assumptions have made Longpré and her partner of 19 years, Caroline Brunt, very "forthright" with people about being a two-mother household.
"The assumptions will almost always err on the heterosexist side—almost always," Longpré noted. "You occasionally meet somebody that says 'Will your partner be joining us?' or something like that, and you're like, 'Whoa, that is so out of the norm'.…Half the time, it's 'Will your husband be joining us?' "
She and Brunt have also been upfront with their 15-year-old son and twin 13-year-old son and daughter, who call their birth mother, Longpré, "Mama" and Brunt "Mummy".
"We just talk about everything," said Longpré, who is vice-chair of the board of directors for LGBT resource centre Qmunity. "We might just ask them on occasion, 'Have you ever had any problem? Has anybody ever said anything to you that would be inappropriate?' I suspect we have worried about it a great deal more than they have."
One misconception they've encountered is that because there are two mothers in the household, parenting must be a breeze. Longpré emphasized that she and her partner deal with the same issues and challenges as any other parent.
"We are aware that we're viewed through a particular lens that other, straight parents don't have to deal with, and there are assumptions that are made that we have to contradict…and it adds an extra bit of challenge to your parenting, I suppose," she said. "But probably not much greater than the current ones that we have to deal with every day."
Another assumption the couple has had to face is that their children don't have any male role models.
Longpré noted that while there is no father in their household, the children have plenty of men to look up to.
"We spend lots of time with straight families and gay families," she explained. "And of course the men that they know in their lives are not all cookie-cutter, either.
"They're really different kinds of men, just like they have different women in their life.…It's important that your children have lots of different kinds of exposure to lots of different kinds of people, regardless of your family makeup."
Longpré added that the idea that there's an "ideal" family model is ridiculous.
"There is no ideal formula," she said. "And…it takes a village—it really does. I mean, just to get your kids to soccer, you know?"
Given that both mothers originally hail from small towns—Longpré from Saskatchewan and Brunt from Wales—a community-oriented model of parenting comes naturally to both.
"Isolation is not a good thing for anybody," Longpré stated. "We rely tremendously on our community, and I think that's an appropriate way to parent, for whatever reasons.…It's important to be connected to other people. That's what makes your kids grow up to be productive and happy people."

At least 100 dogs and cats are in my workplace every day; here's how we make it work for all.
As the #GrumpyTownUSA Contest winner, the city got to have her at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society mobile adoption center on Saturday.
The former pro-football quarterback and first-ever Kitten Bowl commissioner talks about the big game as well as his love for cats and dogs.
An infection cost him his sight, but now he lives in Oregon with six other cats and two dogs.
I see many kids forced to find homes for cats on short notice, but having a pet can teach important lessons and bring parents and teens closer.
Why wouldn't cats use crowdfunding sites for, say, creative sabbaticals on catnip farms?
Cold weather makes life uncomfortable even for indoor cats; here are tips for making it easier.
There's a fundraising blind cat called Mr. Magoo, tigers who paint, and housecats with an iPad app.
My cat owns me, but I'm helpless against her brand of feline torture -- it's just SO DARN CUTE.

A silent "green revolution" is in the making in India's tech hub Bangalore as citizens come together to sponsor trees to save the city's "green heritage" which has of late come under threat owing to development activities.
The unique programme christened "I Own a Tree", started by Bangalore-based environment group Eco Club, allows a person to sponsor and own a tree for two years.
So far 300 Bangaloreans and a few corporate houses, including Nokia, have come together to plant around 4,000 trees in various parts of the city -- such as Bangalore University (BU) Jnanabharati campus, Bannerghata Road, and the Kanakpura area. The plantation drive was started six months ago.
Chiddalinga Prasad, one of the founder members of Eco Club, told IANS: "The concept of sponsoring of trees by Bangaloreans is to connect people with the trees by establishing a special emotional bond through ownership."
The programme allows a person to sponsor and own a tree for two years by paying Rs.365.
"During the first two years of the sapling's life, Eco Club will take care of the sponsored tree. The sponsor can come and visit the tree whenever he wishes. One can also volunteer and help in planting saplings," informed Prasad.
Eco Club is a joint green initiative by the voluntary organisations Kshiti Foundation and Rotary Midtown. Its members plan to plant around 100,000 trees in Bangalore every year.
Bangaloreans who are part of the plantation drive have been issued a special sticker which says "I OWN A TREE".
"The sticker can be proudly displayed on vehicles, homes, offices, etc. Individuals will be provided with complete information about the type of the tree planted in his/her name and all necessary education required for caring and nurturing the tree they own," said Prasad.
Those who are interested to become a part of "I own a tree" movement can log on to www.iownatree.org.
Raman Singh, an IT professional who has sponsored a tree, said that now he cares more about the environment.
"The concept of 'I own a tree' has been designed to bring in the much—needed bonding of people with the environment. I am a proud owner of a tree and am trying my level best to save Bangalore's lost green heritage," said Singh.
Bhaskar G.S., chairman of Eco Club, said that the club would not be complaining about trees being uprooted in the name of infrastructure, but instead will go on planting more trees around the city. "For each uprooted tree, we will plant 10 trees," he said.
In the past two to three years alone, Bangalore has lost around 50,000 trees, states a report of the Environment Support Group (ESG), a Bangalore-based NGO and part of Hasiru Usiru (Greenery is Life), a conglomeration of community organisations.
Hasiru Usiru has been at the forefront to protest the "illogical destruction" of Bangalore's greenery for developmental works.
Construction for the upcoming metro rail in central Bangalore has recently led to the uprooting of 279 trees near the legislative assembly building, Vidhana Soudha, and the Central College Road.

Cellar [N]
a subterranean vault ( 1 Chronicles 27:28 ), a storehouse. The word is also used to denote the treasury of the temple ( 1 Kings 7:51 ) and of the king ( 14:26 ). The Hebrew word is rendered "garner" in Joel 1:17 , and "armoury" in Jeremiah 50:25 .
sel'-er, sel'-ar (krupte; 'otsar):
Krupte is found only in Luke 11:33, and is rendered "cellar" in the Revised Version (British and American); the King James Version has "secret place." In this passage it doubtless means a cellar beneath a house. Etymologically the Greek word means "a covered place," and in classical Greek its usage includes vaults and crypts as well as cellars. It seems evident that it was only the larger houses in Palestine in which cellars were used with any frequency. It is shown by the excavations that in rebuilding a town which was in ruins the old houses were sometimes utilized as cellars for the new. 'otsar, is rendered cellar only in 1 Chronicles 27:27 f. It is an erroneous rendering, the correct meaning being stores, or supplies, of wine and oil.

Learn about the new health insurance law
The first TV commercial rolled out in early September by Covered California, the state's new health-insurance exchange, seemed to be aimed at young people.
The advertisement uses a freeway-sign image to send a message to the age group most likely to consider health insurance an unnecessary expense.
"To those who've waited, worried, hoped and tried, taken risks and lived in a state of 'What if,' welcome to a new state of health. Welcome to Covered California," says the ad.
About 31 percent of all 18- to 34-year-olds in California are uninsured. But the challenge among state officials has been spreading the word about the federal health law and how the state-run insurance market applies to young adults.
At CSU Monterey Bay, the Institute for Community Collaborative Studies (ICCS) is working to address that problem by offering outreach and education to the campus and the larger community in advance of the March 31, 2014, deadline for people to sign up. (Coverage starts Jan. 1 if people enroll before Dec. 15, 2013.)
ICCS is sending certified Covered California educators into classrooms to present information, answer questions and distribute printed material. Those educators will also staff tables at campus events over the next several months where students and community members will have the opportunity to ask questions, have coverage options explained and get estimates of premiums. The public is invited to take advantage of this service.
In 2010, California was the first state in the nation to enact legislation to implement the provisions of the federal Affordable Care Act by creating a health care marketplace – Covered California.
The final event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Nov. 14 in the University Center as part of the annual counselor conference.

What should my main area of study? Several nurses i have consulted mentioned blood transfusions, IV's, maternity, peds, and palliative. and some just tell don't worry i do fine??? -
2Aug 20, '08 by loriangel14 GuideAre you using a prep guide? They usually contain good hints for being successful at the exam. Reading the questions carefully and picking out what they are really asking is very important. Try to identify which areas you are weakest in and focus on those.
I am curious as to why you say you have so much to "learn". Didn't you learn any of this in class? Studying should be review, not learning for the first time.
Best of luck. -
0Aug 20, '08 by nursemama2beFor me the anxiety pretest made it worse... when i actually sat in may it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be... yes it was long but make sure u know ur interventions and therapeutic communication and you read the question closely... do NOT over analyze the situation...
The prep guide they do up is awesome... except i could stand a bit more on the rationale part because i could rationalize my other choices but that is because i was overanalyzing the situation... -
1Aug 20, '08 by OgopogoLPNI will be writing as well on Sept 10th. I have the study guide and I've barely looked at it
You don't "need" 80% to pass. It states in the study guide how it is graded in terms of passing or failing. My understanding is that it goes by an average.
Something like this (I think)...if the averge score among writers is 75%, then you need 75% or more to pass. If the average score is 65%, then you need 65% or more to pass. I think they do it that way so that if the test is unusually difficult and most the average person got 65%, then that is the passing grade. (Not that I think someone should be licenesed if only getting 65%!!!).
Don't quote me on this, but this is basically how it was explained to me and it does state how grading is done in the study guide, but their explanation is very long and convoluted.sigbined likes this. -
1Nov 22, '08 by mirakleenfirst of all good luck, study hard but don't overstress yourself and get a good night of sleep before actual exam date.
All of the guide's i used i borrowed from the Toronto public library, often placed a book on hold about 2months prior to exam
Mosbys Canadian Comprehensive Review of Nursing and
Any NCLEX - PN or RN book is a good source
try to focus on blood transfusions*, patients right to refuse treatment*, maternity/labor*/delivery* complications and development stages, IV's**

0Nov 23, '08 by linzzThe best way to prepare for this exam is to work hard at school and at clinical. Do all of your readings and do not skip class, review your notes, that kind of thing. Also use strategies for taking multiple choice exams, such as eliminating the two most wrong answers.
It could be considered misconduct if any licenced nurse were to tell what is on the exam and it changes every year anyway. Just keep going over the study guide, and really read and undertand the rationale the give you.
Best of luck. -
0Nov 24, '08 by mirakleenDear 1976 and others,
Please note the content which I advised pre-examiners to study were arear's of study I choose to focus on and not necessarily the content of the licensing exam. By best advice I can offer is to gain knowledge from your clinical experiences, remember your strengths and weaknesses and try to envision the situation (question) and use you critical thinking to apply to real life, but also draw from your lectures, notes, and skill labs

Gear Review
Best Bang/Steez/Features/DURABILITY for the buck
These pants are definitely dope and worth the money based on style/features/durability! The only complaint I have is that they should be a bit longer like other Volcom snow pants I've owned (by 2" or so). Some pictures of these pants online show a Gigi Rug sewn signature on the front, but mine don't have that, and I prefer it, not that Gigi doesn't own the mountain. I like ground drag on the length, pants worn low Lil Wayne style, son. These can almost drag, but I'm going lower than Lil Wayne himself to accomplish this. At 6"1, 32-33 inseam I had to go Medium because the waist on overall fit of the large was like wearing 80's parachute pants break dancing in Times Square, but a little bit longer. The material is extremely tough and built to last. Bulletproof for nights in Compton..... yet soft and supple for on-mountain champagne powder (bust the cap off the Moet!) steez. Plenty of abrasion resistance for bushwhacking, dropping entire staircases, or in the awful event you butt check on a patch of chocolate chips on the hill. No cargo pockets which I don't like anyway because you are bound to crush anything in there anyway, or possibly shoot yourself in the leg if you strap your Deagle in there. There are zippers on the traditional pockets with "pass leash"(a 6-7"? nylon cord sewn to bottom of pocket) to attach a key, or your season pass. This leash is simple, but such a great place to attach my season pass with the short holder I already owned. I replaced the stock clip with a metal one because I didn't trust the strength and security (same with the AK). My season pass always got in the way, or was buried too deep in pockets but now it's a breeze to whip my pass out of my right pocket with no fear of dropping it or losing it, even if the zipper is down. It always seemed like a hassle attaching my pass anywhere else. I'm critical when I spend good money on gear, and highly recommend these pants. Time to get out the snorkel. La Nina is pissed off!

Perennial plant (Nasturtium officinale) of the mustard family, native to Eurasia and naturalized throughout North America. It grows submerged, floating on the water, or spread over mud surfaces in cool, flowing streams. White flowers are followed by small, beanlike seedpods. Watercress is often cultivated in tanks for its young shoots, which are used in salads. The delicate, light green, peppery-flavoured leaves are rich in vitamin C. Since watercress grown near cattle and sheep feedlots can become contaminated by feces containing cysts of the liver fluke, agent of the illness fascioliasis (liver rot), regulations specify that commercial watercress beds be protected from such pollution.

Idris Elba Fills Tom Cruise's Sci-Fi Shoes for 'Pacific Rim'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on June 22, 2011 | (3) CommentsThe last time Tom Cruise noticeably left a project, he passed on Salt to do Knight and Day. He was replaced by one of the biggest stars on the planet. This time around, he left Pacific Rim for reasons unknown, and he's being replaced by a man who should be one of the biggest stars on the planet.
Deadline Basin is reporting that Idris Elba will take on the role of Sensi for the project being directed by Guillermo del Toro. As you can imagine, since it was meant for Cruise, it's a leading role, but there are very little details as to what type of role it is. My guess is forceful badass with a quietly complex soul.
There's no denying that Elba is a force. He's also a far more exciting presence than Cruise, and this role will give him a shot at becoming a blockbusting leading man. Of course, this verifies earlier rumors that he was out of the running for Tarantino's Dhango Unchained.
For those keeping score, we've got an original sci-fi story being brought to life by a visionary director with a hell of a lead actor. Interested yet?

It's a rite of spring – the spring break campus visit pilgrimage. If you are finding yourself in the throes of scheduling college visits, count yourself among the many doing the same thing.
When organizing your visits, one of the first things that you'll notice is that you don't need to talk to anyone to make plans. Unlike the old days when you actually called a college admissions office, spoke with a person and scheduled a visit, that is no longer the case. Now, 100 percent of trip planning can be done online at each college website.
Some thoughts to keep in mind once you are on campus.
1. Make sure they know you're there. Establish some contact with the admissions office because many colleges, though not all, track your level of interest in their school and the campus visit is one of the most important factors that is tracked.
2. Divide and conquer. Separate and let your child go with a different tour guide. Your child may take the visit a little more seriously when you're not around, may ask their own questions and you'll have a good conversation comparing your two tours.
3. Get lost! Wander on your own and explore what makes each college unique. Go beyond the standard visit. My mantra is: "It is worth more than two hours of your time if you might be spending four years of your life there." If the college is worthy of your visit, then dedicate sufficient time to tour the area around the campus, sit in on a class, have a meal in the dining hall, visit buildings and areas that weren't on the formal campus tour, etc.
4. Ask good questions. Better yet, don't ask "stupid" questions that can be answered by doing your own basic research, such as "Do you require four years of a foreign language?" or "What are your middle-50 percent SAT scores?"
Some "good" questions might include: How many students work on research projects with faculty? What types of honors courses, learning communities, and other distinctive programs are offered?
5. Carve out time to meet with current students. If you don't have any connection with students at the school, then head to the dining hall. Be bold and ask your student to walk up to a table of kids, tell them he/she's touring colleges and has a few questions. I've never had a student turned away at any school.
College kids are usually thrilled to talk with prospective students and they will typically be unabashedly honest. Start with some basic questions: "Are you happy here? Why? Why not?" "How interesting are your classes/professors?" "How accessible and responsive are your professors?" "Is this college worth the price you pay?"
Your student will likely learn more in that 10-minute interchange with a group of current students than all of you did during the information session or the tours.

Despite some gimmicky ingredients (unique plant extracts, gemstones) that offer no benefit to skin (especially in a cleanser that's quickly rinsed), this is a good water-soluble cleanser for normal to oily skin. Those looking for a foaming cleanser will be displeased with the weak foaming quality of this product, but how well a cleanser foams is in no way indicative of how well it cleans skin or removes makeup. Regardless, this cleanser does both quite well despite the over-the-top claims.
Foaming cleansing gel that dissolves makeup, purifies and refreshes oily skin.

If you're not a Canadian cosmetics consumer you likely have no idea who Lise Watier is. We had no idea, either, despite having seen their products in drugstores and select department stores throughout Canada. Reader interest in this cosmetics line (only the skin care is reviewed on Beautypedia; the brand sells makeup, too) is what prompted us to finally stop and pay attention. Regrettably, this isn't a garden of roses; Lise Watier is a rather dull line with few positives and definitely nothing novel or exciting. In fact, this line's shortcomings are glaringly apparent.
The name and personality behind the line, Lise Watier, is definitely the most interesting facet of these products. Watier began her career in the 1960s by hosting Canadian television shows aimed at women. As she became more popular and recognized for her outspoken nature (and some would say feminist viewpoint), women started writing to her for advice on a wide variety of topics. Her desire to help women find their uniqueness led to her opening a namesake institute that offered women lessons on personal growth … and makeup. It was pop psychology mixed with pops of color. Now that's a unique way to begin a cosmetics line!
Without question, personal growth and personal appearance are linked together by self-esteem, and Watier enhanced this with personal style and makeup application. Given the success of her institute, it wasn't long before Watier launched her own makeup products, along with a message that coincided with the times, and that still resonates today—beauty without rules or limitations. Watier's Montreal-based business continues to thrive in Canada, and the line has expanded beyond color to offer a range of skin-care and fragrance products.
If you're looking to support Watier and her "movement," she offers some viable skin-care products, including some good cleansers, sunscreens, and moisturizers. What's troublesome is twofold: First, the claims for many of the products make false promises that relate more to fantasy than to personal growth (it's one thing to encourage self-confidence in a woman; it's another to send her down a rose garden path that's lined with bogus information and deceptive twists and turns). Second, there are also several omissions that make is impossible to assemble a complete skin-care routine. For example, you won't find gentle exfoliants, there are no products to lighten skin discolorations, and if you're dealing with acne or you need soothing products for rosacea, you're out of luck.
For more information about Lise Watier, call 1-800-592-8437, email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit www.lisewatier.com or the US website: www.lisewatier.us. Note: All prices for Lise Watier products are in Canadian dollars.

Slacker Portable review, pictures
The Slacker Portable Player isn't the best player for audiophiles and control freaks, but its excellent accompanying service makes it perfect for those who want their music provided to them for very minimal effort and cost.
The Slacker Portable Player is not your average MP3 player. Rather than just providing the space for you to transfer your digital music (and sometimes video) collection, this device offers an integrated music-listening experience courtesy of the Slacker Web Player. Although the service itself is provided for free, the Portable Player is not a cheap device in the scheme of things, running well above the average price for most music players (the 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB models run $199.99, $249.99, and $299.99, respectively). But this player offers something the others don't: freedom from being tethered to your desk, creating playlists, and transferring them through a cable connection. The Slacker's Wi-Fi allows on-the-fly updating of DJ-created stations...without making you pay a monthly service charge. Read the

Tenet To Acquire Vanguard Health Systems For $21 Per Share In Cash
Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC) and Vanguard Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:VHS) have signed a definitive agreement whereby Tenet will acquire Vanguard for $21 per share in an all cash transaction. The acquisition is valued at $4.3 billion including the assumption of $2.5 billion in Vanguard debt. Tenet expects the transaction to be accretive to earnings in the first year. Anticipated annual synergies are $100 million to $200 million. Both Boards of Directors have unanimously approved the transaction and Tenet has secured fully committed financing from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
"This unique strategic transaction will bring together organizations that share a common commitment to providing high quality care and create significant new growth prospects for Tenet," said Trevor Fetter, president and chief executive officer, Tenet. "This acquisition will take Tenet into new geographic markets, expand the breadth of our service offerings, diversify our earnings sources and increase the benefits we expect to realize under healthcare reform. This acquisition will also include a substantial contribution from the application of Conifer's capabilities to Vanguard's operations. We expect additional financial contributions to come from supply costs savings and labor management efficiencies."
The acquisition, which is expected to close before the end of 2013, is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon closing, Charlie Martin, Vanguard's founder, chairman and chief executive officer, will join Tenet's Board of Directors. Keith Pitts, Vanguard's vice chairman, will join the Tenet senior management team as vice chairman.
Fetter added, "Tenet's board and I are delighted that Charlie and Keith will be joining Tenet. They are experienced healthcare executives for whom we have great respect.

Feb 23rd 2011 7:10PM @Ganatola
Thats what we call a "Demon Hunter" man.
Its a specific class that hunts demons, using their own power against them.
Illidan was the first, but there are others.
In all warcraft lore illidan is usually doing something by the sides cos others didnt agree with him, but looking at the bigger picture he is aways right.
lets use as exemple:
what was he doing when he was in northrend?
trying to kill the Lich king.
For the burning legion of course, but becouse Maiev and Malfurion stoped him, a lot of people died in Wrath of the lich king exp.
The metods he aways used, were exatly like his class is described, using demonic energies to do good.

Know Your Lore: An'she and the Holy Light, page 2 {WoW}
Aug 19th 2010 9:19AM @DrowNoble
"First off the "it's their game their lore they can change whatever" is a weak defense." I agree with u here, but the part:
"There hasn't been night elven mages in thousands of years." thats not accurate lore wise, the naga are descendants of the highborn who were caught in the flood caused by the destructio of the well of eternity, and the blood elves were descendant to a especifc portion of the highborn who were among the other night elves right after the sundering, and suffered from withdrawal of magic, in protest unleashd a magical storm on ashenvale and were exiled. They abandoned the concepts of Elune and nocturnal activity, embracing the sun instead. They would soon become known as the high elves.
The ones who were at dire maul were too far from "home" already and most night elves didn't even know of their existence. cos of that, Nelfs mage meka sense.
Know Your Lore: An'she and the Holy Light, page 2 {WoW}
Aug 15th 2010 9:04PM That's my theory about the light:
The draenei, before the contact with the naaru, where Eredar, and the as the post "elune was a naaru" suggests, the Kaldorei was something else as well.
The humans descend from the Vrykul but not direct of the vrykul, the vrykul became Azotha before human:
"Between the finding of magic from the Well of Eternity and the Sundering (approximately 14,000-10,000 years ago), the Azotha became the humans. They were nearly as savage as their foes among the trolls, and both groups wandered the land battling each other while trying to plant the seeds of their cultures." From wowwiki.
As the post about "E'lune" suggests maybe An'she was a naaru as well, but more passive than E'lune, and becouse of an'she whispers, the Azotha evolved to human, who wold alfter a long time, become capable of wield the light!
Thats my guess for the human priest\paladins light, and thats why they dont have a deity like the night elves, and why the tauren took so long to think about An'she, becouse An'she just whispers, not like E'lune who did a direct aproach.

Daily News delivers 40,000 'Save Our Horses' petitions to City Hall
From: Daily News
By: Jennifer Fermino
Mayor de Blasio did not make an appearance when the sacks containing 40,000 petitions to keep Central Park horse carriages were brought to the steps of City Hall, but more than 100 supporters of the horses showed up.
The message to Mayor de Blasio was loud, clear and a resounding 40,000 signatures strong: Save our horses!
But the mayor isn't listening.
Three months after the Daily News kicked off a campaign to save the 156-year-old industry, more than 100 supporters gathered at City Hall as New York's Hometown Newspaper dropped off five bags of petitions on the mayor's doorstep.
It's the largest signature drop-off since de Blasio took office, and the biggest show of signed support on any issue in years.
All four of the city's horse stables shut down so workers could attend the 1 p.m. rally, and not a single carriage ride was available in all of New York City until after the mayor received the signatures.
Habitat for Horses recently lost 100 acres of grazing land needed to feed our rescued horses! Your help is desperately needed! Without this land we can not rescue other abused and neglected horses. Please donate today.

I suddenly realized that I haven't seen a SINGLE acorn this fall. Has anyone else noticed this? Shouldn't they have dropped by now? Usually, I get a ton of them on the ground, then the squirrels eventually gather them all up after a month or so.
We had lot of cicadas this year. Maybe their 'pruning' decreased the acorn yield? |

From Eastern Shore... 2003 was like hailstorms of acorns. 2004, they were here too just not so many. Just ask my lawnmower (yes, I mean the machine, not the person) Also, If you really want to know, wait until spring and look in the woods under Oak trees you should see plenty of seedlings. |
Another possible factor: squirrels. They were able to raise their entire litters this year due to the protein boost provided by all those cicadas. Then come fall, no insect snacks -- so greater inroads on other food sources such as acorns and my tulip bulbs, even though the latter are saturated with Ro-Pel. The little buggers are too warm to hibernate, and too hungry to pass up anything edible. They even tore open a small hole in the screen on my back porch to get to the bowl of dry catfood... yes, it wasn't the neighbor's mastiff -- too high off the ground for him. LynnT |

Great article! Unfortunately all of my oaks are on different cycles and we get bombarded every year. This year appears worse than ever. If someone could find a way to stop the drop of acorns, they would make a fortune! What a pain in the neck if you garden in the woods! Suz |
The oak at school had tons of acorns. The kids' pockets were filled everyday after recess. I have an oak at home that has been here for @15 years and hasn't dropped any acorns in the 4 yrs I have lived here. How old does an oak have to be before it produces seeds? Jan |
Jan -- depends. Very roughly, maybe 15-25 yrs, but varies w/species & conditions. The Northern Red oak @ my parents' previous place took about ~15 yrs, then started producing huge amounts every couple yrs. OTOH, a 55' tall (30 yr old) Pin oak on a friend's lawn has never produced more than a handfull. Some hybrid oaks produce only after a couple yrs of age. |

Sandpiper, 8/2000
Other Editions of this Title
It wouldn't be Mother's Day without humor about the harried woman who tries too hard to please a persnickety family. In this larky poem by Mary Ann Hoberman, the family is named Peters and the persnickety-ness is about food preferences. If you were wondering, yes, there are many couplets involving Mrs. Peters and her picky eaters.
The Peters couple, to judge from this book's fabulously detailed and funny illustrations by Marla Frazee, are a compatible pair who are extremely good with children. They have seven in extremely short order (the youngest are twins), and their lovely lakeside house is soon brimming with dishes, laundry, pets and the creative disorder of a sort that makes for happy childhoods. The only problem is that each child eats only one labor-intensive food. What was manageable when it was only little Peter Peters drinking only just-the-right temperature milk has become less do-able now that seven individual tastes want satisfaction. (The twins both eat eggs, but not identical preparations. "But Flo like poached eggs, Fran liked fried / If she mixed them up, they cried.")
Mrs. Peters flips out a bit one night—it's just before her birthday—and goes to bed early. The children, meeting in their cozy and crammed attic bedroom, hatch a plan to make their mom breakfast in bed: All their favorites!
The result is a solution to Mrs. Peters' dilemma that is perhaps not rooted in nutritional guidelines, but that is a complete crowd-pleaser for little readers, especially those who think any book that doesn't rhyme is a book not worth their time.

STACKS OF WAX: The Return of Worth the Candle
The holidays at Hicklebee's always include the delighted refrain of shoppers who rediscover a book from their pasts. Hearing "I remember that book from when I was little" is common as cookie crumbs here in December. Almost as common—and not nearly as sweet—are the laments that occur when we have to tell a customer that a book is out of print or otherwise unavailable.
We think at least some of these sorrows are preventable: All it takes are people who love kids' books and pay them forward to the next generation. To do our bit to help, we're reviving our weekly Worth the Candle reviews of vintage books.
A few years ago, Candlepicking was introduced thusly:
Centuries ago, when people knew how much labor went into making a single candle, the decision to burn one involved real consideration. A night-time activity that didn't provide real value or true pleasure would be deemed "not worth the candle" needed to illuminate it.
Nowadays light is easy to come by; as are new, flashy things to occupy our time. But in such an abundant world, some wonderful things can be overlooked. Each week, Hicklebee's wants to remind you of a terrific book that was published years ago, but that remains worth your effort to buy it or find it at the library.
Before it took a break a couple of years ago, Worth the Candle toted up more than a hundred brief reviews, and there is still at shelf at Hicklebee's where these titles congregate. This isn't where you'll find a copy of Goodnight Moon or Harry Potter. Those books enjoy our love, but they thrive without special attention. Instead, the shelf is a place to find lesser-known gems—books we'd like to wave a magic wand over and turn into perennial bestsellers. So that even a generation from now, they will still be enchanting readers.
Worth the Candle
—whether you're in the store or online—is a special place to browse. We look forward to adding more titles in 2012.

100 pilgrims killed in stampede at Indian festival
Friday, January 14, 2011 - 1:14pm
IDUKKI, India (AP) - Indian officials say more than 100 pilgrims
have been killed in stampede following a religious festival in
southern India.
The stampede occurred Friday night when a jeep filled with
pilgrims lost control and smashed into a crowd of worshippers
returning from offering prayers at a shrine in the state of Kerala,
said Sanjay Kumar, a top police official in the area.
