2004 Chevrolet Aveo Special Value 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
Surprising amount of space up front and

This little guy is sacrificing to save
a new Tacoma Double Cab.

very smooth. When i got mine it had

2004 Chevrolet Aveo LS 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl 5M)
I had my doubts when I first
considered this little car, but it
really is a surprise! Very roomy,
comfortable and quiet. The driver's
seat is very comfortable on your lower
back. Love the sunglasses compartment
on the drivers side, very convenient if
you always wear them while driving.
Great sound. The remote key alarm lock
has a cute little chirp that seems to
match this little puddle-jumper. VERY
good price and quality, especially for
the younger 1st time car buyer with a
tight budget!

Purchased my black hatchback about a
month ago, and I still look forward to
driving it! Handles beautifully, love
the Euro styling, and it's suprisingly
quick! I find myself going over the
speed limit all the time! The great
mileage doesn't hurt either!

I've had the Aveo for about a month
now. I have owned 2 Ford Festivas and
1 Ford Aspire in my lifetime. The
Aveo is by far the best car I have seen
in this market.
The overall design is great and the
engine pickup is excellent(the Toyota
Echo that I test drove was a dog).
Steering and braking are very
responsive. Call me crazy, but I
traded in my PT Cruiser for this
vehicle and I don't regret the decision
one bit...I still have a sharp looking
car, better gas milage and a lower car

I recently bought my vehicle new from
Larry H. Miller Chevrolet. I had no
trouble getting financed for it, and
was offered a great warranty for 6
years and 80,000 miles. My car drives
extremely smooth and feels very safe.
I only have one problems, and that is
that I cannot feel how fast I'm going.
It handles like I'm going 25 mph when
I'm travelling 35-40.

This is the estimated average annual insurance premium being charged in your state. The premium has been determined based on annual premium data for defined coverages (liability, comprehensive and collision) from a major insurer.
While this information is specific to vehicle make, model, model year and body type, your personal information is not taken into consideration and could greatly alter the actual premium quoted by an insurer. Factors that will affect your rate include your age, marital status, credit history, driving record, and the garaging address of your vehicle.

Question & Answers
Dragons Peak areas
Having trouble finding all the treasure chests and legendary treasure on Dragon's Peak?
Answer from: NiceGuy1
Listing ALL findables would be difficult, describing each location precisely enough, this is better done in a walkthrough, especially since most people who are in a position to answer (such as myself) would have already found at least some, and so would have to start a brand new game just to answer you. I find all the walkthroughs on DarkSpyro to be excellent, I'm sure you can find the answers you need there (there are video walkthroughs here, but they don't include the adventure packs like Dragon's Peak).

These goals, strategies, tasks and activities were structured to provide specific guidance and assign responsibilities to EMS organizations at the federal, national, state, tribal, and local levels.
In an effort to bring solutions to published EMS domestic preparedness gaps, the Department of Homeland Security Office of Health Affairs charged NASEMSO with leading a process to analyze and summarize specific published EMS preparedness reports and document implementable solutions to the identified gaps. NASEMSO seated an EMS Domestic Preparedness Strategy Group consisting of representatives of thirteen EMS stakeholder organizations, representing EMS at the federal, national, state, tribal, and local levels. Represented constituencies included state EMS officials, EMS physicians, emergency managers, 911 communication center leaders, private- sector ambulance companies, fire chiefs, local EMS managers, and federal representatives from the departments and various programs that have EMS leadership responsibilities. The group identified and prioritized the most significant gaps in EMS domestic preparedness. The strategy group also identified general solutions to each of the ten most important gap areas.

Our Congregational Nurse (Donna Rutherford, RN) provides a healing ministry that helps support and fulfill the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our congregation. She is a volunteer on staff, our nurse minister.
Notes from the Congregational Nurse
Congregational Health
March, 2015
Fewer than half of Americans older than 65 have a living will, (Advanced Directive), the document that spells out your health care wishes if you are unable to speak for yourself. This is a startling statistic that can have severe consequences. Without an end of life discussion a patient is 3 times more likely to spend their final days in ICU, be on a ventilator and have invasive treatment. Without this document your loved ones will have to "guess" your healthcare decisions.
Here are a few suggested topics from longtime Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman about end of life medical questions. She founded www.conversationproject.org after caring for her mother.
- Do you want to live as long as possible no matter what, or is quality of life more important than quantity?
- Would you accept nursing home care or is independent living a priority for you?
- Do you want to know just the basics of your health condition or as much as you can?
- Do you want your doctor to do what they think is best or do you want to have a say in every decision?
- Are there any disagreements or family tensions that you are concerned about?
- Are there circumstances you would consider worse than death, such as not being able to recognize your family or breathe on your own?
The above questions are good "starter" conversations for family's to have. Stop by the Health Ministry bulletin board and pick up a copy of "5 Wishes" to learn how to continue the conversation with family. Starting the conversation is often the hardest part of this discussion. We all know what we want when we can no longer make decisions. It is essential for you and your family to have the conversation and get your advanced directives signed. We have all the tools to help you get started here at the church.
Love and Blessings,
When I rise up
let me rise up joyful
like a bird.
When I fall
let me fall without regret
like a leaf
Wendell Berry
Services and Duties of the Congregational Nurse
Donna serves our congregation as:
- a health and wellness educator
- a health and wellness counselor

Her duties include:
- Meeting individually with clients in the home, church, or hospital to provide holistic care and support.
- Advocating for clients in the health system.
- Promoting health education.
- Providing health screening and monitoring, as with our First Sunday Blood Pressure Screenings.
- Assessing the needs of the congregation and establishing programs to meet these needs.
- Assisting in locating resources for the community.
The Congregational Nurse does not give direct hands-on treatment but helps to empower and enable clients in their healing journey.

Pheasant Run Resort questions
Jul 03, 2011, 7:39 PM
We are going to be at the Pheasant Run resort for 6 days, beginning Thursday. We will not have a car as we are arriving by train in to Naperville. Are there any markets/grocery stores within walking distance so we can pick up a few snacks and beverages? I know there are restaurants galore, but that can get expensive. We do have a small fridge in our room. Also, is there a shuttle or other way of getting in to Chicago for a daytrip?

Interdisciplinary artist Maia Scott's project is hosted by the Library for the Blind and Print Disabled at SFPL. In a delightful twist, the collection of mixed media works actually puts focus on seeing. Visually impaired since birth, Maia grew up knowing she sees differently. Over the years, she learned that, in fact, everyone sees differently regardless of visual acuity. Rather, interests, culture, fears, loves and so many other lenses affect what we notice as we journey through life.
Maia invites you to experience her creative vision and maybe come away seeing things through fresh eyes. Through participatory opportunities related to her art, Maia looks forward to learning from your insight and building your wisdom into a collection of interdisciplinary performance pieces.

Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has anointed David de Gea as his "successor".
The great Dane sys De Gea deserves to be regarded as United's long-term No1.
"In terms of de Gea, the criticism came in the first six months of his career at United. The way he has responded to that and improved shows what a great goalkeeper he can potentially be when you have that mentality.
"It's not the mistake that's important, it's how you recover from it. If you recover instantly, in that second it's gone from your mind. You play on and don't make the next mistake and that's the sign of a top keeper.
"Looking at de Gea, I'm happy he's at United as he's a really good goalkeeper. He is without doubt my successor."

Historical Traveler Reviews Hyatt Regency Greenville
Nice atrium
This is the first Hyatt I've stayed at, my preferences being with Choice Hotels' Sleep, Comfort, and Quality brands. Based on my stay, little differentiates the Hyatt from those brands except for Hyatt's public spaces.
The hotel boasts a beautiful glass-lined atrium with a pool and fountains. And lots of plants. It's a beautiful setting. I was there with a college group. Due to bad planning on our part, we had planned our retreat the same night Usher and Kayne West were in Greenville, and the Hyatt was hosting the after-party in the atrium. Not sure why this business hotel hosted the after party though. The loud party kept us awake (we were obligated not to attend the concert or the party by the university) and from our atrium-view room could actually see the cops escorting partiers out in handcuffs.
The rooms were average hotel fare, clean and well maintained, but indistinguishable from some much less expensive brands. Hotels like the Hyatt obviously funnel their money into public spaces.
Great Service and Great Location!
The staff at this hotel are the best around! From the bellman to the front desk to the housekeeper to the restaurant, they continue to impress me with their willingness to ensure I had a great stay. I come to Greenville several times a month on business and I've stayed at most Greenville hotels. The Hyatt downtown truly has the best location and the best staff. The front desk told me at check in that they just finihsed putting down new carpet in the hallways and in the lobby...its very nice and very clean. I was also please to find that they just installed wireless internet. This is very important to business travelers. Even though there was a charge ($10 a day I think) it worked beautifully. The service is through T-Mobile so if you already had an account, you would have to pay extra. The only thing that could upstage the service would be the location. Its nice to come back from work and walk outside the front doors and be on Main Street. There are so many restaurants and shops that its nice not to have to get back in your car for dinner every night. I believe that the Hyatt has definitely become by hotel of choice when I travel to Greenville!
Old , Dirty Rooms
This hotel was not what you would expect from a Hyatt. Our room was not very clean and the window leaked, badly. Our second room had problems with the a/c. The front desk staff was not very friendly or helpful. The entire hotel needs a renovation. The best thing is the location. Greenville has a beautiful and lively Main Street filled with boutiques and restaurants.
Not Too Bad
I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Greenville in March to see John Mayer perform at the Bi-Lo Center (John stayed at the Hyatt, too). The location is superb! The Bi-Lo Center is within a short (VERY short) walk from the Hyatt, and is surrounded by wonderful restaurants and bars (you have to check out the Blue Ridge Brewery... right across the street from the Hyatt). The staff at the Hyatt was very friendly and helpful. Our view was limited to a few rooftops, but it wasn't too shabby. If you want downtown, the Hyatt is the place to be. The lobby/atrium is beautiful. The rooms weren't top notch, but they weren't horrible. The location makes up for it!
Old, old, old
Not what I expected from Hyatt. The rooms are old and outdated. So is the lobby. Hello 1980's!
Dirty, old, not three-star
What a disappointment this hotel was. Dirty, old, smelly, noisy, with indifferent staff. It's only good point was being directly on the historic main street, close to restaurants, etc. Also, our mattress was very good, although given how dirty the room and bedspread were, we were a little afraid to get into it at first. In the bathroom was a handtowel neatly hung up with someone else's make-up smudged on it (no, it wasn't a stain left after washing). The furniture -- what there was of it -- was old, worn and faded. Overall, the room looked like it was missing things -- as if they just took things out if they were broken or needed elsewhere, but never replaced them. The 80's collage artwork was peeling and falling loose in its frame. Every carpet in the building was worn, old, faded, and/or dirty. The dramatic floor to ceiling windows in the lobby ljust looked grimy and decrepit. The once elegant fountains and pools of running water outside were clogged with leaves, garbage and filth. A beer bottle sitting on a lobby table at 7a.m. was still sitting there hours later -- the staff hadn't bothered to clean it up. Check out early, you say? No way! A note by the phone in our room said guests would be charged $50 for checking out before they were scheduled to! I've never seen this anywhere else; was it to discourage disgruntled guests from finding another hotel?? I can't report on the bar or restaurant since we avoided eating there. This was supposed to be a three-star hotel -- it was barely a one star. Don't get me wrong: I'm not a clean freak, and don't mind a simple, modest hotel that may be a little shabby, as long as it tries. But my husband and I had hoped that we would be staying somewhere nice. You know -- at a Hyatt. Hyatt should be ashamed to have its name on this building.
Smoker's and Noise Lover's Paradise
We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Greenville last weekend. Our non-smoking room was so full of cigarette smoke, that I thought the hotel was on fire. This hotel just does not get the meaning of non-smoking. They put either an ashtray or a card saying non-smoking in the room, depending upon what the guest of the day requests. There was so much smoke coming under the door from the room next to us, that we had to stuff towels around the door to try and block some of it out. The hallway of our non-smoking room was full of cigarette smoke and cigarette butts.
In addition, the hotel was extremely noisy. We could hear every word of every conversation in the rooms on both sides of us. There was much noise in the hallway all night long. The walls are paper thin.
Also, this is not a hotel for people with allergies. I was so allergic to something in our room, that I woke up with my eyes swollen shut. (I am allergic to dust, mold, and pet dander). Room was not especially clean. Stains on the bedspread and carpet and picture corner peeling out of its frame.
The hotel is very conveniently located. Easy walking distance to shops and many places to eat. However, it is overall too smokey, loud, and dirty for my tastes and I will not stay there again.
An okay kind of stay...
The Hyatt Regency is an okay place to stay, but it seems to be geared more toward business travelers. The Lobby, restaurant, and other areas of the hotel are very nice, but the rooms seemed rather small. The front desk staff was very friendly, but we were evacuated at 2 am for a false fire alarm and no one seemed to know what was going on. All in all, I really don't think that I would stay here again, especially for the price!
Location Location location
The location for this hotel is great. Though it is hard to see from the street if you don't know where you're going.The lobby is spacious. The staff at the front desk attentive. The rooms were tired. The hotel has definately seen better days but it's still nice. If you're expecting upscale, look elsewhere. Certainly not worth it if you pay full price for a room.
Average property
Nice location in the downtown area. Walking distance of all the main street restaurants. Room was so-so. Overnight valet was appx $15. Only stay there if you can get a room under $75, otherwise, not worth the extra money for parking.

Let's not rush to judgment
No matter how repulsive the charges, no matter how bad the dogfighting indictment makes Michael Vick appear, it's unfair to judge without weighing the evidence, Mike Sando writes in his debut column for ESPN.com.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could score easy points with an angry public by hitting Michael Vick hard before the quarterback gets his day in court.
He could take the politically expedient route by handing down a one-year suspension or even moving to banish Vick from the game.
And who could blame him? The felony dogfighting charges against Vick are gruesome enough to sicken anyone with a conscience.
But if Goodell can reach a logical compromise -- somehow finding a way for Vick to sit out while his federal court case runs its course -- the league can protect its long-term interests without inappropriately coddling the Atlanta Falcons' star along the way.
Think about it.
If the NFL suspends Vick for the season or otherwise punishes him harshly, only to see him prevail in court, Goodell's push for a harder line on discipline might die an unnecessary death, or at least lose momentum.
Goodell has taken back a measure of control from players after team owners lost ground in their most recent labor agreement. If sustained, those gains could give the league needed bargaining power in its next round of negotiations. Making the wrong call on Vick could jeopardize the league's position.
If the federal indictment is true and Vick's dogfighting enterprise electrocuted wounded animals while breeding others to kill, the quarterback deserves prison time and the unmitigated condemnation that is already coming his way.
Animal-rights activists are organizing protests outside NFL offices, demanding action and threatening boycotts. Their outrage is understandable. Vick bears some responsibility for even putting himself in position to be indicted.
And yet a civil society can't let emotions interfere with due process. No matter how repulsive the charges, no matter how much we love our pets, no matter how bad the indictment makes Vick appear, it's unfair to judge without weighing the evidence.
Several phone conversations with defense attorneys and legal scholars drove home a point easily lost amid the outrage: No one has seen all the evidence. An indictment is all we have, and it's not enough.
"The prosecutor can get an automobile indicted," Maryland-based defense attorney Jonathan L. Katz said. "The prosecutor puts in the witnesses that he wants and then at the end he says, 'Look, here's an indictment, please agree to it.'
"It just requires the grand jury members to find there is probable cause to believe that a crime occurred. Well, probable cause is not much more than a hunch."
Katz and others were generally skeptical of a grand jury process that the American Bar Association considers vulnerable to abuse. They warned against giving too much credence to federal indictments that haven't withstood basic tests such as cross-examination. They noted that federal prosecutors claim conviction rates topping 90 percent in part because so many overmatched defendants avoid trials.
"A grand jury indictment is like the opening drive of a football game," said former federal prosecutor Timothy J. Heaphy, a Virginia defense attorney with experience in high-profile cases. "One side gets to go first and that's the government. The prosecutor can keep the other team off the field and score the first points of the game.
"Is there probable cause to believe these criminal offenses were committed? Usually the grand jury says 'yes' because they've heard only one side. The prosecutor is the gatekeeper of what they hear."
As troubling as the indictment might be, securing one was no surprise once the feds convened a grand jury.
"In point of fact, it's incredibly rare for a grand jury not to issue an indictment," said Charlottesville, Va., attorney Neal Walters, a regular lecturer at the University of Virginia. "It makes good drama on TV, but in that sense, if the U.S. attorney goes to grand jury, it's highly likely they are going to get an indictment."
The process is not particularly thorough or evenhanded. There isn't even a judge, only a rush to judge once prosecutors reveal their side of the story.
"The main thing you should watch out for is convicting the guy based on a grand jury indictment," University of Southern California law professor Charles Whitebread said. "People hear 'grand jury' and think, 'Oh, what a grand bunch.' They think he's guilty."
And he might be. The indictment suggests prosecutors have multiple witnesses who can detail Vick's firsthand involvement over several years. Other witnesses could agree to testify as the government, backed by skilled attorneys and virtually unlimited resources, advances its case. It's a grim picture for Vick and the Falcons.
Chuck Rosenberg, U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, has not been mistaken for the discredited prosecutor behind the infamous case of wrongly accused Duke lacrosse players.
"He is known to be a very low-key straight shooter," Heaphy said. "He is not the type of guy who does stuff strictly for press spectacle. He is somebody that is very careful, very meticulous and very responsible.
"So my guess is that he would not have authorized this indictment strictly to make a splash. That's just not what motivates him in my experience."
The nature of the charges against Vick seems to compel immediate action by someone, but whom? Public protests provide one avenue. Sponsors will likely sever ties.
Goodell will presumably respond forcefully if the government proves its case. He has already suspended several of the league's repeat offenders. And yet the league would be wise to proceed with caution until more is known.
"Look, I'm a vegetarian for ethical purposes," said Katz, the Maryland-based defense attorney. "I don't want anyone misusing dogs. It's just that we should let the jury trial take its course and then make judgments when the jury is all done."

PLUS: SPORTS NEWS; Abdul-Jabbar Found With Marijuana
Published: March 21, 1998
The former Los Angeles Lakers center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar surrendered a small amount of marijuana to United States Customs officials at a Canadian airport and paid a $500 fine, a Customs spokesman said yesterday.
Abdul-Jabbar, the National Basketball Association's career leading scorer, told Customs officers Sunday at Toronto's Pearson International Airport that he has migraines and ''doctors recommended him using this,'' said Pat Jones, a Customs spokesman in Washington. There was no comment from Abdul-Jabbar, who was flying from Toronto to Los Angeles.

Any of you tried feeding finished bokashi to your worm herd?
I recycle nutrients from kitchen scraps and coffee grounds into bokashi buckets. Once the buckets are filled, and bokashi ripened up, I dump the contents out into the outdoor compost bin for further composting action. From the outdoors compost bin I take on occasion partially composted materials and give it to my red wiggler worm herd. They go wild over it. I have wondered if the worms would go for some of the ripened bokashi if I presented it to them directly. I would think the worms would feed on the bacteria that pickles the bokashi, however, am wary of any negative impact to the worm bin environment due to changes in pH.
Have any of you given your worm herd bokashi? Please share your experiences with me and others here.
The flower...I grow morning glories in containers, and amend the container growing medium with vermicompost. The flowers respond so nicely, it's incredible. It makes making the VC worthwhile.
All the best,
Hi Joseph;
How long do you compost your finished Bokashi, before feeding it to the worms?
I would suggest an experiment. Take a small container, add some bedding, a dozen or more worms, and a small amount of fresh (non-composted) Bokashi and see what happens. If you get the same results as from Composted Bokashi (in that the worms swarm it immediately and with no ill effects), then you can discard the composting process and you're good to go; but if the worms stay away from it for any length of time or if you see other reactions like 'String-of-Pearls' or dead and dying worms, then you'll know that you must compost first. Unfortunately, I have no first-hand knowledge with it, my only experience being a lecture I once attended on the subject. The presenters were using the lecture as a promo to try and sell their Bokashi-making products. They were pushing it as a quick alternative to composting with the ability to add the fresh results directly to your garden, while I on the other hand, only wanted to know about using it in my worm bin. The fact that the presenters had no experience in the interactions between fresh Bokashi and Compost Worms, coupled with the rather pricey cost of the product (and especially where I did not know if it would work), essentially turned me off to the whole idea. I do remember asking for a small sample to try out, but they refused, insisting I buy the whole bottle.
We here are a homogenous group with a wide range of experiences in raising Compost Worms and while we are constantly answering questions from Newbies to the hobby, we are also asking questions of each other, for there is always something new to learn. If you do not receive a positive response to your question, then I would highly suggest conducting an experiment like I described and posting your results to the forum.
If I knew that fresh Bokashi could be added to a worm bin (I, having a large porch/patio area, but with no actual ground and therefore no place to set up a compost bin), then I would definitely be interested.
Looking forward to your input.
One would think that presenters of such things "The fact that the presenters had no experience in the interactions between fresh Bokashi and Compost Worms," would be knowledgeable of this benefit. A unique definition of walking the walk. Their loss is your gain. A 60 second, cursory Google search on their part would have educated them on the basics of their topic.
Shalom, Shaul, and thank you for your nice comment. I like your idea of the experiment and will do one and provide my observations here in the thread.
Regarding how long I leave the bokashi in the outdoors compost bin, I do not have data; however, I leave it out there long enough for the color and fluid qualities of the finished bokashi to change over to dark colors and more firm consistency.
My worm bin is indoors, and I have been successful in vanquishing the fungus gnats using applications of nematodes that feed on the fly larvae. I would like to keep things around the bin fly-free so it would be desirable to bypass the outdoors-compost bin step to keep the fungus gnats outside.
Pete, I would love to see the video(s) too.
Happy new year to you all.
Makes sense, Pete.
Fortunately, no vermin in my house. :) I give the meat & dairy to the worms.(Just a little at a time) Come to think of it, I hardly ever have meat scraps. Although I have thrown some old moldy hamburger helper in the bin a few times.
Never had any problems with odors. Did I mention I only use a *little* at a time? ;)
I guess for some people with lots of meat and dairy the bokashi would make sense. Dunno.
Vermicompost is a better material to add to plant containers than the sloppy bokashi, in my opinion. That is why I am looking at transforming the bokashi into VC. To put all the kitchen waste into the worm bin directly is not realistic for me because my worm bin is not that large.
Hi Joseph;
Since your first post on Bokashi I have become re-interested in the subject. I have been doing a lot of reading and research, (both on EM websites as well as Vermicomposting Forums) to try and learn how worms deal with Bokashi. From all I've read and seen on YouTube, there doesn't seem to be any problem in feeding fresh Bokashi to Worms. Different opinions claim that once the pail is full and sealed up, that it needs to ferment for 2 - 4 weeks and then the worms are (supposedly) all over it within 7 - 12 hrs., but if you're feeding them dried Bokashi, that it may take a week or more before they start working on it. I finally decided to try it and so I ordered and just received: 2 kgs of ready-to-use Bokashi Bran, as well as the other ingredients for preparing my own Bran for future use. Just the idea that I will (theoretically) be able to feed Garlic, Onions, Pineapple and Citrus (in quantity), besides Meat and Dairy is pretty mind-blowing. I'll be looking forward to running my own experiments as well.
Yes, start by putting a small amount in one corner and see what happens. If within a day or so they're into it, then you can probably add the rest of it with no problems. You won't need to bury it first. You can also try different fermenting times at 2, 3, and 4 weeks and see what works best for you.
"YouTube, there doesn't seem to be any problem in feeding fresh Bokashi to Worms. Different opinions claim that once the pail is full and sealed up, that it needs to ferment for 2 - 4 weeks and then the worms are (supposedly) all over it within 7 - 12 hrs., but if you're feeding them dried Bokashi, that it may take a week or more before they start working on it." Hmmmm. hmmmmm. A wise man once said, if it smells you are doing it wrong. As a fan of, yet only a wanna be of bokashi, either I read wrong or I want to clarify how I understand bokashi X vermicomposting. The word bokashi has many meanings. It is both the seeding component and the finished result. It is maybe also a process. This may have lead to unclarity from various sources. Yes fresh bokashi can from what I have read be fed to worms. However the fresh bokashi they are talking about is fresh, 2-4 weeks old, fermented bokashi. Longer may be better. "if you're feeding them dried Bokashi" who would feed worms dried Bokashi? It would be like feeding them first dibs on the city's best hotel buffet before the guests. Dried Bokashi is a substance, perhaps a grain, that is fermented. This is dried and is the substance, bokashi, that is sprinkled on kitchen scraps entice them into the bokashi process to turn then into the fermented product also called bokashi. I tried to make more sense of the topic. Maybe I failed.
I'd be interested in reading the actual postings or articles from the folks you reference, equinoxequinox.
I think the dried bokashi they fed to the worms was the actual end product, finished bokashi, which was then dried out. I don't think they were using the starter flakes impregnated with Lactobacillus used to make the bokashi. I could be wrong however, having not seen what you're reading.
You can use the bokashi directly in the garden and bypass the red worm bin step. I have done this in my regular garden and covered up the slop with a 3 inch layer of bagged compost. The plants responded very well to these "Oasis of Nutrients" zones, and presumably the native worms in the garden are feasting on the subterranean bokashi. Finished bokashi I suppose could be used in the containers, but it is an amendment I prefer not to use in mine, mainly because it does not look like soil. Bokashi is fermented or pickled food, and it looks like the food you originally put in the bucket and it isn't too aesthetically pleasing to see. That is why I want to transform it using worms.
The words Equinox is quoting are mine. At this point it would be too much trouble to go back and find all the sources and opinions of the processing times for Bokashi. Here's how I understand it: You layer food waste in your bucket 2"-3" thick with a sprinkling of Bokashi Bran between layers, pressing down the layers to exclude as much air as possible, as well as emptying liquid every couple days. During this initial period the microbes in the activated bran are already starting to break down the food waste (thus resulting in liquid coming out at the bottom). You continue this way until the bucket is full. At that point you seal up the bucket and let it ferment (in an anaerobic environment) for two weeks.
Now according to the traditional method, you then bury the fermented food waste (Bokashi) (and mixed-up with soil) in your garden for an additional 2 - 4 weeks to allow the worms and other soil critters to do their thing. After this secondary period you can either plant right on top of it or dig it up and use it as fertilizer on your plants. According to what I've read and seen, the food waste (at this point) no longer looks like what it was originally, but rather like soil.
Now fast forward to us here. According to my (limited ) understanding, some say that (after you seal the bucket) the initial 2 weeks are sufficient and then you can add the food waste to the worm bin, while others say you should extend the initial fermentation time another 2 weeks. You don't need to bury it first because you're adding to your bin which already has the worms and soil critters (there's no waiting time).
Now I could understand if the reason for burying, was to allow the fermentation process to dissipate (after all, you don't want to pickle the worms), but if it's only to allow time for the worms etc to arrive, then I see no reason to wait.
I just finished sealing up my first Bokashi bucket. Sounds pretty quick, but I actually had so much material saved up in the freezer and elsewhere, that even with smashing it down with the potato masher, I was able to fill a 5 gal pail right to the top. I first installed a faucet at the bottom to drain off the liquid and then layered the scraps with liberal sprinklings of the activated bran in between. Now normally, over the amount of time that it would take for a bucket to fill up, the microbes in the bran are already starting to work on the waste (even before it gets to that first 2-week fermenting stage). I didn't have that extra fermenting time, so I'm going to let it sit (sealed up) for at least a month. Alternately, I may wait two weeks and then remove a handful and feed it to the bin and see what happens. I'm particularly interested to see what happens to those things that formerly never broke down..like Avocado peels & Corn cobs.
Nice post shaul. Yes, what happens to avocado peels and corn cobs? Glad to see you mashed everything down. Are mashed potatoes on the menu tonight? Maybe a pusher / sealer plate fits nicely inside the bucket? Maybe there are different methods of bokashi as there are of vermicomposting. Specifically, the drainage. Perhaps some feel a bedding type of material should be used in the bucket to absorb the value from the drainage. This material could also be impregnated with happy wee beasties that do not use oxygen. The two topics... vermicomposting and bokashi composting are so rare as to have probably not many people doing both. With the large volume of tasty food waste available to you, you are using many options to make good use of it.
"I think the dried bokashi they fed to the worms was the actual end product, finished bokashi, which was then dried out." In my readings I have not come across anybody dehydrating the end product bokashi. It might be a great idea to do so. Bokashi by definition is a finished, stable, storable, product. No dehydration needed. It would be like dehydrating a pickle. It might be a great idea to do so. I have not come across anybody doing it.
What is dried is the bokashi mother or seed, or starter. This is a relative expensive product which has uses more valuable than to feed worms with.

Did you preface a request for links prior to a reference which you have no links for? If I did not include any links, usually I do not have any. I pretty much made it up out of thin air, wishful thinking and more than a dash of massive exaggeration. My posts are more of a conglomeration of many various readings over time to get a general feel for a topic than a specific factual recipe with links.
On the other hand I really liked your posts.
Perhaps a vermicomposters receipt for bokashi would be kitchen scraps of onions and garlic, avocado skins and pits and a side of corn cobs, along with the rind of juiced lemons, limes and grapefruits, topped off with pineapple core. On the bottom of the bucket I would put a dry disk infused with no oxygen bacteria sprinkled with 1/4 inch of crushed egg shells. I would have a drain but use it to let me know if I need to add a second or third dry disk among the layers. Chicken bones after the long stewing stock pot and mice on the wrong side of the trap would be included.
The heat producing in the worst of winter BSFL would be licking their chops and organizing a take over of the bokashi bin. That is the ticket. To determine the best use for each waste...
Just came across this website. Quite informative about using Bokashi with Compost worms. Check it out.
It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. ;) I got my first bokashi kit the other day from Amazon.
I did a bit of research and decided to give it a try. Will keep the group updated on my findings.
Where is the best place to buy the bokashi starter/innoculent?
Hi Joseph: I didn't know that Morning Glory coud be so beautiful. I used to hate MG. All I have growing is the weed white MG. Thank you for posting the wonderful pictures.
Very interesting thread and made me curious about Bokashi. I am a bit confused by how it works.
""In the system, the lack of oxygen and the relatively low acidity prevent the organisms that produce gas and smells from forming"" this is from:
in paragraph: How does it work?
Until now, what I understood is to allow lots of oxygen to prevent anaerobic condition that will cause smell.
It is rather "putting-off" that one has to keep buying that bran to keep the system going.
About fermented stuff to feed the worm bin, this might be off topic but I have been feeding my worm bins with juicing pulp I kept in closed buckets for several months due to p/u schedule. That acquired a strong fermented odour. I do not spread it across the surface but rather put a handful somewhere and covered that with dry shredded paper. Within 2 days the worms were inside that "gob"
otis11, the way I understood it is...: Garden composting, vermicomposting and spinning tumbler composting are what want "lots of oxygen to prevent anaerobic condition that will cause smell." Bokashi is the opposite. Bokashi bacteria work without oxygen. Bokashi wants zero oxygen to prevent aerobic bacteria which in this system will cause smell. Maybe the detail that prevents success in bokashi is letting in too much oxygen. The secret to bokashi seems to be to cover the compost very well with maybe a plate the exact same outside diameter as the inside diameter of the bucket and press it down firmly over the bokashing material to get out all of the oxygen. The other is not putting enough bokashi starter material with each addition. Perhaps the bucket would be added to once a day or once every few days as opposed to each time a carrot top needs to be put in. But then again I could be all wrong because I have only read about it a lot but never done it, yet. But then again that has not stopped me from prattling on about worms. :-)
aerobic with oxygen / air
anaerobic with out oxygen / air
Both methods have their uses.
Any bokashi that is easy and inexpensive in your area is what to get. Supposedly this can be made into more material if you have something to inoculate. Even then you might every couple of years to start with new starter. You might find additional uses for it or split a fresh container now and then with a neighbor. Hopefully bokashi starter will be popular and thus go way down in price.

Otis: Thank you for your kind words about morning glory photos I've posted. They're a fun plant group to grow.
There must be a way to make your own bokashi starter granules. I found some verbs on making your own bokashi bran using Mr. Google's help, see the link below. You still have to buy the EM-1 solution, but it costs less than buying already prepared starter Bokashi bran. I have not tried doing this but reading the description makes me think it would be easy to do this and save some shekels.
Here is a link that might be useful: Do it yourself Bokashi bran
Teraganix, the company that markets the EM-1 solution, provides an even more detailed protocol on making your own Bokashi bran.
Here is a link that might be useful: Teraganix recipe for Bokashi bran
For those interested in making your own EM-type EM; came across an interesting website of a guy named Vinny Pinto.
He has a treatise entitled "Fermentation with Syntropic Antioxidative Microbes: An Advanced Guide to Brewing EM Fermented Secondary Products".
The treatise is in pdf format. Unfortunately, Gardenweb won't let it be posted in that format.
The book claims right from the start that the processes described are for those with advanced brewing skills. For some, this might mean a background in Fermentation Science, while for others it might be a still in the backwoods of Kentucky. Regardless, like 'Peter Piper', unless you have prior experience in 'Pepper Pickling' you may find yourself in one heck of a pickle. All in all, it's an interesting read.
Here it is hidden under alien space ship repair and maintenance and how to regrow your teeth. It was under miscellaneous http://sam.vmicrobial.info/
It occurs to me that maybe they could use some tea bags to brew up that stuff.
This stuff sounds a lot like the SCOBY of kombucha I have 3 mason jars of brewing on my kitchen counter.
But what do I know. I'm just an alien space craft repair man with Lots of teeth who eats spam for breakfast.
It also sounds a bit like Preparation 500 which is cow dung fermented in cow horns buried under ground. Which is all funny and stuff until the next guy over has way bigger tomatoes than you do. Then you start shopping for cow horns on e-bay because you are pretty sure if cow dung is good than vermicompost would be way better and want to experiment.
Our refrigerator died this past week and the frozen food ultimately ended up in the bokashi buckets. I filled all three of them (2 5-gallon buckets and one that looks like a 3 gallon job complete with bottom spigot I bought on eBay). I hope the EM microbes get to work fast or it will be a stinky mess soon.
So now it's been 6 weeks since I closed up my first 5-Gal pail. I opened it up about a week ago and put about a handful into each of my 2 bins (on top of the bedding). No reaction. Several days passed, still no reaction. After a week they are eating it, though I can't say they are all Over it. What I Can say is that they are all Under it. Wherever I pick up what was Corn cobs, Celery stalks, Onion peels etc, (all easily recognizable) there are masses of worms hard at work. I have never seen this kind of response on this kind of material in such a short period of time, before. So Bokashi is definitely a Winner and I will be processing all my fruit and vegetable waste in this manner (no meat or dairy for the time being).
Could you please post a larger picture of what you're using for a Bokashi bucket. Aside from the standard, commercially available ones, I'm interested to see what other people do, as far as an internal screen (to strain out the liquid) and a spigot to empty the juice. Also, although I didn't experience that white fuzziness on the top of the finished Bokashi, I've read that as long as it's white (and not green or black) it's a good sign.
Another question, when you've filled the bucket to the top and are ready to seal it, do you first add some sort of weight (to keep pressing out the air while it's processing) or do you just seal it up as is?
The only problem with the 5-gal. buckets (at least the one's I have access to) is that they're wider at the top than at the bottom, so if you put in a plate and it's close to the diameter of the top of the bucket, then it's gonna get stuck somewhere on down. Also, as I add the waste and bran layers, I'm pushing it all down with the potato masher. When I get close to the top, I cover the food waste with a plastic bag and tuck it in on all sides. Then I put a flower pot base on top of it (I found that a 27 or 28 cm. diameter base is the right size) and weigh it down. For the first bucket I used a brick. For the second bucket I used a 2.5 kg. barbell weight which I wrapped in several layers of plastic sheet, because I've read that the fumes from the Bokashi process will interact with the steel (and the last thing you want is to have metal compounds leaching into your Bokashi which will then go into your garden &/or wormbin. For the third bucket, I bought a 5 kg. barbell weight. What I like about the barbell weights is that you get maximum weight in a flat round package that fits easily inside the bucket. This one I also wrapped in several layers of cellophane wrap. This week I spoke to the head of EM-Israel (the main distributor of EM products in Israel) and asked his opinion of using the heavier (5 kg) weight inside the bucket. He felt that using the heavier weight would not be a problem and so I am going ahead with that idea.
I started out using 5 gallon buckets, and squarish kitty litter buckets. Now I use a smaller round buckets, say like something tile grout might come in. Shorter than a 5 gallon bucket and bit narrower also. I have three, used in rotation. Tried a pourer spout out of large detergent bottle, without success. The acid pH of the bokashi material ate the epoxy and caulks I tried to use to secure the spout to the bucket.
I put shredded paper at the bottom of the bucket. Every couple of days I pour out the excess leachate, since there is no drain spout to simplify matters. To seal the top and keep air out, I use two heavy plastic pieces (like a cut open chip bag such as Kettles), than a large black plastic bag, with a 10 pound flat weight on top to help add pressure. A large rubber band seals the plastic bag to the outside of the container to further reduce air movement.
Could not find any mention of vermi and bokashi together in "Worms Eat My Garbage", so the the OK mention of it must have been elsewhere.
Hi Robert;
I had a similar experience with epoxy and caulk. I was trying to recreate a $50- Bokashi bucket (wherein all the liquid drains out and none is left at the bottom). After 3 days the epoxy (specifically for gluing plastics) and the silicon caulk (which was rated as waterproof and resistant to most chemicals) became useless. I guess they tested it on everything else except Bokashi juice.
The picture I posted is the inside of a Bokashi bucket which can be purchased online (usually around $30 to $50). The strainer (at the left) sits on that lip around the inside. At one end is a small square indentation where the liquid flows out. The round, white, piece is obviously the plastic nut which secures the spigot in place. The small square space under it seems to be; that just in case you would need to change the spigot, there would be enough room to turn the nut and remove it (and then replace it again). In the end, the only liquid remaining in the bucket, at any one time, seems to be about: 1/4"-1/2" (D) X 1"-1.5" (square). That's not very much liquid at all.
Now, I have no problem installing a spigot at the very bottom of the 5 Gal buckets I use. The problem is that there needs to be room for the rubber washers and the nut to hold the spigot in place. In general, the bottom of the tube (where the liquid flows out through the spigot) is at least 1/2" off the floor. This means that the whole bottom of the bucket up to at least 1/2" is covered with liquid and then anything above that level is what flows out. This is far more than what there should be. One solution I've thought of (though I haven't yet been able to accomplish it) is to somehow raise the level of the floor to the level of the outlet tube. If anyone has any thoughts on this idea or any others, I'd appreciate it.
Hi Shaul. I have been following your progress on this thread with a curious interest. Could you use an extra plastic bucket lid and cut it down to just the right size. Then drill holes for drainage. This false floor would be held up 1/2" by rocks or plastic PVC pipe cut and placed on the bottom. Good luck!

Answered this question about putting bokashi in worm bin with a 'YES'. Think her main qualification was a little at a time.
I had the good fortune to sit in on a composting class held by the soil scientist Dr. Elaine Ingham this past weekend. During a break, I asked her if it was possible to feed worms bokashi with success. She said it was possible after squeezing the liquid out of the bokashi you are introducing to the worm bin. She said adjusting the pH was not necessary, however, it was necessary to add a thin layer of bokashi to the bin surface.
Here's a morning glory I've been growing indoors over the winter, which has benefited from worm poop tea on occasion.
Been reading all of your great posts and thought I would suggest checking out a guy named Bryan McGrath's videos on youtube. He talks a lot about bokashi composting, gives ways to make your own bokashi bran (even how to make your own EM like products), and even talks about using bokashi in worm bins in a couple of his videos.
Here is a link that might be useful: link to his youtube page
I wonder if I dont have a bit of a head start on this system. When I have enough veggie fruit scraps to run thru my juicer I save the pulp and store it in a closed container for at least a week when it becomes moldy and I feed bits of this to my worms . I could also add a bokashi mix to this if I wanted to go to the trouble though not sure I will. I do know that when I add this fermented mix to the bin the worms are on it in no time flat. Im just not sure of the benefit of adding bokashi to the mix and whether its worth the cost of the process.
This seems like a good idea for a Bokashi bucket
You have you false bottom, and no need for a spout.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bokashi bucket.
Ive heard and read a little about this process , sounds a bit expensive for the added innoculants. They also say meats can be in the mix.
I just wonder how close what some of us do are already considered Bokashi. I save all my scraps in ziplock bags and not just fruit and veggie either , Im not opposed to adding pancakes , old bread, have even added spaghetti to these zip bags.. Then when Ive saved enough all this mix goes thru my juicer and all the pulp is then saved in 2 gal canister with closed lid which is kept under the sink until worm feed is needed. So my question is how close is what I do to bokashi? Of course I dont add any meats, cheeses or oils at least not intentionally. Certainly my worm bins are doing fine and by breaking food down with what Im doing bacteria seems activate it rather quickly and thus usually the next day worms are on it if not sooner.
But I will say that the spaghetti is not broken down small enough as Id like and may or may not add it again depending how the worms deal with it.
The easiest question any worm guru can answer is one asking about things you can feed worms. That's because if the material in question is organic, it can be fed to the vermi.
When someone wants to know if dryer lint or human hair is "worm-able", ask them if the dried clothing is 100% cotton, and if the "human" hair is 100% human.
Wish that could be said about some of the "food" products we stuff into our pieholes with ingredients unknown by people not chemists.

Inkjet Photo Print Longevity Lacking 202
from the ghosts-of-digital-photos-past dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If you take a look at a particular printer such as the HP Photosmart 8450 [wilhelm-research.com] you can see that depending on what paper you use the lifetime of the print can last from 9 to 108 years. The method that you keep the printed photo will affect its longevity as well. Most printer manufacturers quote the Wilhelm lifetime when the photo is framed under glass. As you can imagine, when kept under glass the prints last longer.
Who you get the ink from also affects the lifetime of the print. The first article I linked examines some refiller cartridges. This is where ink refillers are really weak.; their lifetimes are much shorter.
Compare apples to apples. Inkjet (bubblejet, whatever you fancy) does just that: a jet of ink onto the surface of a piece of paper. Comes with all of the problems we've been talking about. Dye-sub has been the choice for, oh, better than a decade now because it does not put the image on the surface of the paper, but rather into the fibers of a specially treated sheet of paper. By use of a high-temperature heating head, it SUBlimates the DYE from a solid sheet of donor into the paper. Sure, it'll fade in time, but it's just a resistant to most of the elements as traditional wet-processing is.
There are other technologies out there as well that are dye-sub like, such a the Pictrography process (Fuji Pictrography printers, which is a laser-based sorta-wet chem dye-sub). Pictrography in particular is interesting, being that it's relatively cheap for a wet chemical system (about 7k USD), is self containted, and uses only water (no really nasty waste stream).
I do it all the time, using labs that have the Cymbolic Sciences LightJet, or Chomira-type printers. These printers can really be thought of as digital enlargers, putting digitally controlled light onto traditional materials like Fuji Crystal Archive. Traditional chemistry to develop the result gives you an essentially "traditional print" from digital bits, and if you start from a digital original there's no need to rephotograph anything. (If you start from a slide, which is what I originally did, then a drum scan of the slide is typically your highest-quality option, and then use the above process to produce a result.)
While it may seem paradoxical to use a digital printing mechanism when you want to start from a slide and end up with a traditional chemistry print, the benefits of doing so in terms of color management and repeatability far outweigh the extra work, at least for fine art prints. This workflow allows you to not suffer with, say, the sorts of necessary contrast increases one typically suffers when printing from slides. If you have a digital original, it's even easier, of course. The only real catch is that these printers are large and expensive, but a large number of top-tier fine art nature photographers use this workflow for their prints today.

I thought one of the nice things about Better Bottles is that they required almost no cleaning on the inside.. just fill with sanitizer, give it a few shakes, and wait.
Well, I've had a dried, caked-on ring on hops around my BB carboy for 2 weeks now! How do I get rid of it? It's been filled with water and sanitizer for 2 weeks now! I read that a nylon brush, like that used for glass carboys, is a big no-no.
Any suggestions?
I have no BBs yet, but I've heard from enough sources that a nice soak in Oxyclean will do wonders that I'll pass that along to you
I had something similar, but the stain was from the krausen of my hefeweizen. It literally took three weeks of soaking with a light bleach solution to get rid of most of it. Then someone on this forum recommended oxyclean, and it helped loosen the rest of the stains.
Make Beer, Not War.
2 weeks of star san is not good.http://www.better-bottle.com/technic...ing_right.html
I use oxyclean
Try the rag trick.
Star-San IS NOT a cleaner. You can't sanitize something that is dirty with organic solids. Cleaners do not sanitize and sanitizers do not clean. I use PBW (powdered brewery wash) to clean my Better-Bottles. Oxyclean is very similar, but PBW has some added chemicals that aid in cleaning organic solids.
A 24 hour soak in a hot PBW solution of one tbsp/gallon of water will break up anything that you could possibly have crusted on the inside. To get off really crusted on gunk I like to add the PBW, and about 2 gallons of water. I insert a washcloth, put on a stopper and shake the crap out of it until the rubbing of the washcloth removes all of the gunk. Then I fill it to the top and let it sit for 24 hours. Then I just dump it out, rinse it and let it drain.
the rag trick?
As others have stated, your trying to use a sanitizer as a cleaner. Two different things. I use oxy in my BBs and have no problems. One key is to clean/soak it imediately after use.
Töpperwein Brewery
1/2 gallon of hot water + a little oxyclean or onestep, shake hard. Let sit, repeat twice more. I don't even fill up to soak it. Filling it up too much makes it too difficult to shake hard. A small amount of water smashing around really works.
