It is 20 minutes away from Boone, and is surrounded by the towns of Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Seven Devils and Hawk's Nest. There is a wide range restaurants and bars in town. And just a few minutes away there are ski resorts, golf clubs, hiking trails, campgrounds and other possibilities for outdoor fun.
Barefoot Cabin is a large 5 bedroom cabin with 3.5 bathrooms. You will have plenty of space in this 2400 sq. ft. cabin that sleeps 12.
The modern kitchen is fully stocked for you to make a fantastic family meal, including a food processor, blender, and all of the other common items you may find in a kitchen. There is seating for 8 at the dining room table and 4 bar stools at the bar for additional seating.
The living room has a cozy wood burning fireplace to enjoy on those cold mountain winter nights. Enjoy your favorite show on the 42' flat screen TV.
We offer a remarkable California king size bed on the main level with En Suite bathroom and HDTV Satellite TV .
There are 2 bedrooms upstairs. One bedroom is for the kids with 2 bunk beds and TV with VCR and kid friendly movies. The 3rd bedroom offers a lush queen size bed with HDTV Satellite TV.

There is additional sleeping on the lower level with another queen size bedroom with a gas cozy gas fireplace and Satellite TV. The fifth bedroom has yet another queen size bed!
Family memories are waiting to be had around our massive fire pit!! Life just doesn't get any better than this!
Enjoy the warmer summer months out on one of two covered decks. The upper deck has several rocking chairs and a picnic table along with a handcrafted log porch swing. The lower deck has a table with 4 chairs.
In the winter Banner Elk is where people come to choose and cut their own Christmas tree and ski, and in the summer it is a perfect place for a family getaway which can be quiet, peaceful, and relaxing or full of activity, fun, and adventure. Blue Ridge parkway, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls and Linville Gorge are just a few of the scenic landmarks in the area. The attractions that are worth visiting are the Woolly Worm Festival that takes place in Banner Elk in October, and the summer theater, by the Lees-McRae College Performing Arts department.
No matter what season you decide to travel to Banner Elk and the Blue Ridge Mountains there will be countless of outdoor adventures for you and your family to explore. Enjoy the slippery ski slopes in the winter, the amazing flower blooms and the majestic rides along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the spring, the brilliant changing of the leaves to gaze at in the fall, and the bike rides, music festivals, hiking, and white water rafting in the summer all add to the incredible draw of activities you'll find here in the place we call home, The Blue Ridge Mountains! Start making memories today!
Sorry, but no pets allowed
There is a 2 night minimum for off peak seasons and a 3-4 night minimum for holidays and the entire month of October.
NO SMOKING is allowed inside of our cabins!
As you plan your trip to the mountains, please remember we do get rain, snow and some foggy days and occasional inconveniences which are out of our control. Winter weather in the Blue Ridge Mountains can occur from November through April. The majority of our homes are accessed by mountain roads, which will be icy in winter weather. For the safety of you and your party, please be prepared to drive in snow and ice. This means 4-wheel drive, good tires, and chains. It is your responsibility to be prepared for hazardous road conditions. There will be NO refunds, allowances, or date changes resulting from your negligence in this matter.
We do not provide firewood for this rental. However, we do offer firewood for sale for $25 for a bundle of wood. This should be enough to last a weekend with minimum use. You are welcome to order as many bundles as you want for $25 per bundle. We will have it delivered, stacked, and ready for use. Please be sure to mention this while making your reservation.
My family and I came to this cabin for Thanksgiving this year and had a blast. We had three families come from 3 different states, 7 adults and 7 kids (7 and under!). We arrived and had a couple days of beautiful weather. The outside decks are big and a perfect place for eating or reading books on the porch swing, we loved having fires in the fire pit and the hot tub under the stars.
On day two at the cabin we had the first big snow of the year. The hills right outside the cabin are perfect for sledding! We saved so much money by not having to pay for tubing/sledding at the ski resorts for the kids. We could take the kids right out the front door and the neighbors even loaned us a sled.
The kitchen was big enough and equipped for us to make our Thanksgiving meal. We loved the layout of the bedrooms. Two bedrooms upstairs for my family, Master on the main for my parents, and then the downstairs has two more bedrooms for my brothers family.
We will definitely be coming back to this cabin again with our family. We made so many good memories. It was clean, plenty of space and the perfect location!
We arrived on Friday after a rough trip and a terribly car sick child. Aside from the shared drive looking junked up with several camper trailers at the front, the driveway as a whole could stand for some patching and repairs. I entered the cabin with my three- and one-year-old. Needing to get them settled, I searched for some utensils for them to eat with while we unloaded. Unfortunately, I got to begin my vacation unloading a dishwasher that was quite literally packed full of nearly every fork and spoon in the place.
We learned the hard way that the house is FAR from sound proof. If the top story is awake, so is everyone else. My youngest is a light sleeper. He (and therefore we) woke several times every single night for the entire seven nights. The heat is also impossible. If the main floor is warm, the bottom is an ice box, and vice versa. Our children were sick, but we slept with the windows open (in 20 degree weather) the entire seven nights to keep the other floors comfortable.
The third floor has a sewage odor that permeates the floor when upper restrooms are used. We had to close the stopper on the sink and tub, put some water in there, and leave it in order to rid the smell. I called the management company about this problem on the Sunday morning after we arrived. The gentleman that answered was far from professional and I questioned whether I even contacted the correct company. He corrected himself and told me that he would call the following day with information from the plumber. He didn't. Nor did he call any of the other five remaining days of our stay.
My son dropped his lovie under the master bed on the main floor. When we attempted to retrieve it, we encountered someone else's dirty underwear and pajama pants. Since you are required to pay a cleaning fee, I was quite dismayed and questioned what else had been left untouched. Sure enough, nearly every bed has a pile of dust and dirt residing beneath. I stripped all bedding within the house and washed it as a precaution. If dirty underwear is left behind, I can't imagine what else is there.
We used the grill on our last day there, but my husband had to disassemble it and deep clean it because apparently it's never touched. The gas burners were clogged.
I loved the idea of this house and the reviews seemed great. it looked remote (it isn't with two other cabins quite close and sharing the same drive). It is in close proximity to Banner Elk, and has easy access to several ski resorts.
Coming in from several different states, we had a family get together in this cabin and it was wonderful! It's always a challenge to not feel on top of each other or to worry that your kids are going to wake the whole house, but this place was wonderful! The bedrooms were spaced out nicely with 2 on the top floor, 1 on the main floor and 2 in the basement, so we all felt like we had our own spaces. Often when we travel with our baby, we are concerned about having a place to put the pack n play so she is not directly in our room. This time we had enough space to have her in her own room, but we noticed that the master closet and the owl room closet were both big enough to hold a pack n play if we decide to come back another time with more people. The kids bunk room was great with 4 bunk beds and 2 mattresses underneath the bunks as well for fun cousin sleep overs! The porches were also great for having a small child with us. The top porch off the main living area was completely enclosed, so we could be out there playing games at the table or reading in the rocking chairs and she couldn't get out but would still be happy watching the older kids play in the yard below. The lower porch was great for hanging out in when she was in the yard playing with them so we were close at hand. Everything was so comfortable and nice, we highly recommend it for either families with or without kids. The kitchen was so well equipped too, that we weren't ever missing a thing- from spices to pans to a crockpot! Thanks for a wonderful trip!
I visited this cabin with 7 other friends (ages ~ 23-24) for a few days before Christmas. This cabin is so much more than advertised and exceeded our expectations. The decorations are top notch and everything is in immaculate condition. The kitchen is fully stocked for everything you should want, and it even has a Food Lion rewards card (USE IT) to save you tons of money on food for your stay. The pool table is a vital amenity, as we played it almost non stop. The cabin is very cozy and you will love the stay.
It is less than 5 minutes from Banner Elk and Banner Elk Winery, where you can find anything you need. We visited Ski Beech for a day of skiing (~25 min) and Hawksnest Tubing (~25 min). We had natural snow the last two days and I would recommend 4WD or AWD to get up and down out of the driveway and for safety when things ice. I cannot recommend this cabin enough!
We had a great time!!! The cabin was awesome and our family enjoyed every single day we spent there. The property is located close to everything you need to have the best time ever!! Thank you for letting you share your beautiful home!

"I wanted an invitation for my husband's 60th birthday, that I knew he would be comfortable with. While this invitation is more on the formal side it reflects his interest in wine and his taste for more classic styles. I was so happy to find it was an option! The paper and envelope are very nice and I'm glad I didn't pay for an upgrade. The rush service went as planned. The return address printing on the envelopes appears to be limited to two lines. If you live in a multiple dwelling this could be a problem."
"The paper was excellent quality & thick stock. The text print was great & the customer service superb. The colors & design of the card were great so I didn't change that. I appreciated the free review & normal etiquite changes. Although this was seen originally for a birthday celebration, it was able to be changed/personalized for a wedding rehearsal dinner since it followed the theme. I was unable to find anything like this with other print businesses."
"This was my first experience with Wedding Paper Divas. They exceeded my expectations! The paper quality was gorgeous - and the photo was perfect. I am very happy with this purchase!"
"We used this for a birthday party invite for a baby. Love how it is completely customizable. Very quick review process. Incredibly fast shipping. I have bought multiple items from this site and have always been very impressed."
"This one was for a tough client...my FAMILY. When the request came in for us to handle design and decor for our grandmother's 80th surprise b-day, hands down I knew where to turn. The fam liked the sample so much, we just ordered them for the event and will base the theme around its' design. Slam dunk babee!"

Chairish Art + Design Crush (+ a Giveaway)
I don't live anywhere near a good flea market, so there's little haggling in my life unless it's on the internet. That also means there's little vintage/such a find/bargain deal art in my home and that's something that I'm really gunning to change. The hard truth is that sometimes it's more affordable to find an amazing older piece than to buy and frame a new one; fortunately, the result is often richer in character and style.
But back to my conundrum of not being near any good shopping grounds. Chairish, the beloved online location to shop and sell vintage (the iPhone app is a dream), has a fantastic collection of art as well – over 4,500 pieces and growing daily. That's a lot of art at all different price points. They asked me to choose 50 of my favorite pieces to create The Design Crush Collection and, well, who says no to that? (Answer: No one.) Want a peek at my 12 favorites?
Mike Kelley's Bjarnarneskirkja Floating Print // Original Painting Pink Abyss //
Pablo Picasso Portrait D'Homme Lithograph // Vintage USA Maritime Yacht Ensign Boat Flag
1960s Framed Vintage Portrait // Jessica Wilson's Nicholas, NYC Framed Photo Print //
Alan Sonfist's Tree Trunk Series Pink 2 Litho // Kristi Kohut's Imagine Peace Print
Haha Ink Drawing // Antique Medical Teaching Device // Dani Schafer's Humilis 2014 Abstract Wall Hanging // Cheryl Maeder's Cloud Nine IV Art Photograph
What's even better is that Chairish wants to give one of you $100 to spend on some unique art of your own. Click here to enter for a chance to win $100 to spruce up your walls this spring!
PS: Tune in to Chairish's Instagram account Sunday, March 22nd for an Insta Art Sale. Seven emerging artists – Jaime Derringer, Emily Katz, Dana Haim, Kate Roebuck, Deann Art, Michele Spane, and Kristi Kohut – will be selling original pieces of their own. But get this, each piece will be sold for an all-in price of $125 (art + packing + shipping). WHOA. Pieces sell in a matter of seconds, so be ready and waiting 9 to 11 AM PST/Noon to 2 EST!
I received compensation for this post. All words and opinions are my own, as always. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Design Crush!
24 Merry Days: Win $300 to Anthropologie
Today the 24 Merry Days spotlight is shining right here, and we're giving away $300 to spend at Anthropologie! As a frequent Anthro shopper this is a perfect match, and I'm already jealous of the future winner. What would you blow it on? The official start of winter being two weeks away, I think I'd opt for some cozy accoutrements to aid me through the year's chilliest months. Things like hats and scarves, throw blankets, and candles for my home. This giveaway is open worldwide, so scroll down to see a few of my favorites and for 20 chances to enter and win! (PS: Don't miss out on Saturday and Sunday's worldwide giveaways to Baba Souk and Artsy Modern!)
Come winter I prefer to layer a super soft scarf under my coat, rather than over it. I've found it keeps me warmer, and I can pull as much or as little out of the collar as I want!
Fela Loop Scarf // Tartan Zion Lion Beanie // Scattered Hearts Scarf // Vihti Scarf // Lingua Franca Floppy Hat
I love adding a bright throw to my bedroom to snuggle under with a book or for weekend mornings spent lingering in bed. And I have to admit, the cats don't seems to mind it one bit either…
Chevron Trace Throw // Striped Greystone Throw // Eventide Gradient Throw //
Confetti Throw // Cozy Cotton Blanket
My 114 year old fireplace is non-functioning, so I filled it with lots of votive and pillar candles and mercury glass to reflect all of the light. At least as good as a real fire!
Mercury Moonglow Candle // Colossal Capri Blue Iridescent Jar Candle // Swedish Dream Sea Salt Candle // Good Nature Soy Holiday Candle // Tisane Votive

(But if you do spy something you'd like to gift know that Drake General Store has worldwide flat rate shipping!)

Win It: $300 from Minted
I'm a big fan of Minted, their goods, and what they're doing for independent artists. I have several pieces of the art they sell in my home, and this is the second year I've turned to them for my holiday cards. Minted offers a fantastic collection of both photo and non-photo cards (my preference), and after narrowing them all down to four designs I settled on this one by Phrosene Ras. I love the bright and happy palette and the ability to customize the sentiment.
This year I took the time to input all of my addresses on the website so that Minted could print them right on the envelopes. While I'm normally all for hand-addressing my holiday cards this year is extremely busy, so I took the plunge and don't have one regret. They look so good!
Minted also offers the option of a decorative element next to the address that coordinates with your card's design. I really felt like this additional touch helped make up the difference (in my mind) for not writing things out on my own.
Minted will also add your return address on the envelope flap for free. The end result was clean, modern, and just my style.
I'm happy to team up with Minted to give a lucky reader $300 to spend on holiday cards, art, or whatever else might be calling your name! (They also have some lovely gift tags and wrapping paper.) Take advantage of their addressing service or wow your holiday card list with a design that features their new gold foil. Best of luck!
The Living Room + a Lamps.com Giveaway
I posted a sneak peek of the kitchen last week, but this time it's the real deal. I'm finally beginning to share how my new (old, built in 1900) house is shaping up. I think I've said before that I bought this home knowing that it was a flip, and fully expecting all of the weirdness/issues that normally accompany such a project. We've already done some updating to a few things – roof repairs, a plumbing issue, bringing outlets up to code, etc – and there are of course still things that need done and yet others I want to do aesthetically. But I'm really starting to feel like this house is much more me than the last one in Oklahoma City. There's character, there's charm, there's quirks. I plan on being here for years to come and I'm so happy to share a bit of the journey with you.
The living room is directly to the left of the foyer area. One of the main attributes that had me laying down my money for this place was all of the lovely light – 31 windows! – and openness. My last home had 11 windows and it was a big problem area for me.
The fireplace isn't functioning, but I'm hoping to change that once I talk to a professional about what the deal is. I really love the stonework. You can't tell from this photo, but it's not all flush and they stick out randomly for some fantastic texture. The interior is black which works really well for featuring other pieces (aside from that MIA fire). My old home had a gallery wall in the living room and it feels really nice to be able to break up my collection a little more here.
Before I made the move from Oklahoma back to my home state of Pennsylvania, I sold and donated several things that were no longer my style or not what I saw working in this space. My photographer, Quelcy Kogel, asked me while we were shooting whether minimalism came naturally to me and I had to admit the answer was no. However, I'm loving this more pared down lifestyle that I've aspired to for years and am attempting to make it my mindset going forward.
I keep going back and forth on whether or not to remove the shutters on the windows flanking the fireplace, but settled for ripping out the old greying lace curtains that came with the house before the movers even had a chance to arrive. I have an unspoken rule that there will always be fresh flowers in this room because they add such life.
Another old house quirk – the floors are most definitely not even remotely close to being level, as my bookshelves can attest. While I still find it charming and funny I'd eventually like to invest in some sort of built-in for my library collection that would be slightly more sturdy and, well, level.
This is my view every evening as I settle down with the pups and attempt to unwind. There's a beautiful fir tree just outside the window there and I can't wait to see it covered with snow.
So are you all ready for a giveaway? I thought so. Lamps.com is giving away the 5 x 8′ Tasman Shag Handwoven Rug that I have in my living room. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this thing. We didn't have any floor coverings for several weeks when I first moved in, and the moment this beauty arrived and was laid down both I and the dogs lost our minds. It feels so soft underfoot and Bebe and Piper love sprawling out for a good nap in front of the couch. And if you spy another rug you love on Lamps.com (yes, way more than lamps!), know that every one comes with a free rug pad. Essential for not slipping and giving your piece a good base.
To Enter:
1. Simply follow @designcrush and @lampsdotcom on Instagram! Then leave a little comment saying you did so along with your Instagram handle.
2. We'll choose a random winner next Monday.
3. Good luck!

Win It: Lulu & Georgia
Today I'm finally sharing a small part of my new home with you! I've been eagerly awaiting this day for a few months. Today it's just a tiny slice, but starting in a few weeks we'll be moving on to the entire first floor (I hope you're half as ready to see it as I am to share.)
So yes, this is clearly the kitchen. Well, about half of it really. I'm going to save the what I love I love/what I hate/what I've done/what's left do rant for the full post on the room, but one of my very favorite parts is this incredible set of Edith bar chairs. They're easy on the eyes as well as the rear with a generous seat and slim cushion. I've never had an island or breakfast bar in any previous kitchen, so I was really excited to find these guys over on Lula & Georgia. They're perfect for the mid-century vibe that I love and aim for in most of my decor and I know they'll be a part of my kitchen for years to come.
I'm also eyeballing the Henry Vase, Taman Lamp, Rizzo Bench, Ombre Moroccan Rug, and Monica Minimalist Side Table for my home as I figure out what I still need to complete a few of the other rooms.
So I'm about to get to the good part here… which is that you have the chance to win $100 to spend at Lulu & Georgia! Maybe you're looking for a new throw to keep warm this winter or want to put it towards something larger like a piece of furniture. Whatever you the case, good luck!

Art, Inc. + a Giveaway
Full disclosure: Lisa Congdon is my friend. My crazy talented, enormously gifted, incredibly smart business woman of a friend who decided in 2006 to take a chance on art and succeeded beyond her wildest dreams. Art, Inc.: The Essential Guide for Building Your Career as an Artist is her latest book.
If you're creative in any way chances are you've daydreamed about making a career of it, and that's exactly what Art, Inc. is about. It's essentially a guide to making your dreams a reality and debunking the myth of the starving artist written by someone who has taken the plunge and lived to tell the tale. Learn about the ways artists can make a living from their art (you don't have to be on a street corner with an easel, although that was always sort of my dream). Lisa shares her knowledge of licensing, sales, teaching, promoting, managing, and tons more. Not only from her own career, but from art world pros like Paula Scher, Nikki McClure, and Claire Desjardins who we're going to dig a little deeper into below with an excerpt.
Claire Desjardins, Painter
Montreal, Canada
Montreal native Claire Desjardins spent her childhood summers in the countryside, where she discovered painting. But although she loved the art form, she chose to study business in college as a way to a stable, well-paying career. After graduating, she worked for ten years in technology and marketing. Several years ago, she set up a painting studio at home to get back in touch with her creative side, painting for the first time since she was a child. Over time, she moved from small to large canvases and began painting abstractly. By 2011, she was selling enough of her work to pursue art full-time. Since then, Claire has received grants to attend artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and Da Wang Culture Highland in Southeastern China. She is represented by Galerie Lydia Monaro in Montreal and Muse Gallery in Toronto and is a top-selling artist on Saatchi Online. Claire's work can be found in both private and corporate collections around the world.
Lisa Congdon: As a self-taught abstract painter, how did you go from painting in your studio to selling work?
Claire Desjardins: I'd been painting for several years, and around the advent of Facebook, I started posting my work there. I had given a painting to a friend and then another friend of his saw it on Facebook and he contacted me about whether I had anything else for sale. That was how it all started. I began meeting a lot of people online who were interested in my art. That year I did quite well with my art, but I was still working for a marketing communications company. I worked only four days a week, so I would paint on my free weekday. My company was restructuring and merging, and I got laid off in 2011. But it was a perfect time for me to leave my job.
LC: How did you first get gallery representation?
CD: I sold a painting to one of my fans on Facebook. It was one of my first paintings that I had sold to someone I didn't even know, so it was pretty exciting. I made sure that I really took care of her. I packed the painting properly, sent it with a booklet of my art, and called her to make sure everything went smoothly. Sometime later, I received an email from Muse Gallery in Toronto. Apparently, the woman from Facebook who bought my painting lived around the corner from the gallery and had told them about me. The gallery owner looked me up, liked what he saw, and contacted me to work on an artist agreement together. I did some research on them and called other artists who the gallery represented. I asked them about their relationships with the gallery and eventually, it all came together. I borrowed my father's minivan and drove a bunch of paintings to Toronto! They have represented me since and have given me a couple of solo shows, too.
LC: Right around the time you left your job, Anthropologie contacted you. They sell your original paintings and license your paintings to make prints and for use on their products. How did this relationship come about? What are the advantages and disadvantages of working with a big company to sell and license your work?
CD: It all began one day when I got an email—and in the subject line it said "Anthropologie Interest." They were looking for local artists to feature on the walls and windows of the new Montreal store. Four of their buyers came to my studio. I heard that they had read about me on Mocoloco.com.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to working with a large company. The main and obvious advantage is the exposure of my art. Other advantages include the additional revenue, as well as seeing my art on different products. The disadvantage is less obvious; it's that a small portion of the artistic community came to perceive my art as too commercial or that I'm "selling out."
LC: What is your main mode for selling original work now?
CD: By far, I make most of my sales online. Specifically, I've had success with Saatchi Online. In order to nurture this relationship, I try to keep up with my social networking as much as possible. This is a very important component to my job, as it's the only advertising I can afford (it's mostly free!), and it reaches so many people. Whenever I post a new painting online, I make sure to link it to a page that allows people to purchase my art, like Saatchi Online. I make sure that I give them credit for the good things that they do, in a timely fashion. So if they include one of my pieces on their home page, I make sure that I blurt it out for all to read, on all my social media like Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter.
LC: You are an advocate for signed agreements— whether in licensing or when you work with galleries. Why are they important?
CD: When you sell or license your art, money and image rights are involved, so spelling out the rules in advance helps to manage expectations and eliminate surprises later on. It protects both the artist and the reseller. Proposing the writing of an agreement should not be perceived as an unfriendly gesture or an indication of mistrust. In fact, it should be considered an act of ensuring mutual understanding. We all have contracts with our cable or cell phone companies, so why wouldn't you have an agreement with the resellers of your art, whether they are galleries, agents, or commercial companies? The exercise of writing an agreement will raise many questions that had not been thought about before. Those questions can be imperative in terms of the health and sustainability of the relationship.
And once again here's the fun part – two of you have the chance to win a copy of Art, Inc! Whether you're an aspiring artist or know someone who aims to be this book is the guide you'll want at arm's reach. You have until midnight CST Sunday, August 24th to toss your hat into the ring!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Rebecca Atwood + a Giveaway
I'm a big time fan of Brooklyn-based designer and artist Rebecca Atwood, so I'm over the moon about this week's giveaway. The creation of Rebecca's original collection of home textiles as a process starts with her sketchbook: drawing, painting, creating collages, and testing colors. Then each piece is created as part of a small batch edition with an eye towards hand dying, printing, and painting to retain the integrity of the original concept. The unpredictability of the dye is whole heartedly embraced as well as the variations that naturally occur.
Rebecca has such a keen eye for color and texture, nowhere does this show more than in her pillow collection. I was especially drawn to her shibori collection with its vast pattern variations from pillow to pillow. The fabric was created using a modified version of the traditional shibori technique which involves folding the fabric into rectangles before dying to create the gridded end result.
So here's the part you've been waiting for ever since you read the word giveaway. We've teamed up with Rebecca Atwood to give away a pair of her coveted pillows to one lucky reader! Choose from the Grid Shibori Marine Pillow, Lattice Shibori Marine Pillow, Striped Circle Pillows, or the Waves Natural Pillow – or mix and match. Enter for a chance to win below – you have until midnight CST Sunday, August 17th!

Pelosi sees stimulus package by mid-Feb deadline
WASHINGTON Jan 23 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday she believed Congress would meet a mid-February deadline to send an economic stimulus package to President Barack Obama.
"We're on schedule for our timetable to have a bill on the president's desk to be signed before the Presidents Day recess. Again, if not, there will be no recess," Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters after a meeting between Obama and congressional leaders from both parties.
The U.S. Presidents Day holiday is Feb. 16.
Asked whether he was worried that Republicans would block the stimulus package, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said "No."

A: Plug in your phone when the battery has about 20% remaining and continue to charge until Battery Doctor tells you the 3rd stage of trickle charging is complete. Do not overcharge by keeping your device plugged in nor undercharge by charging in short bursts whenever convenient.
Q: How does "Saving Mode" work?
A: "Saving Mode" is an extreme setting that shuts down all non-essential functions of your phone with exception of making phone calls and sending/receiving text messages. WiFi, Data, GPS, etc will all be shut down to ensure battery life and defend your juice.
Q: How do I set up the widgets?
A: The "Task Killer" widget will automatically appear on your home screen with installation. The other widget that monitors WiFi/GPS/etc can be installed just as any other widget on your device would be set up.

Energy Consumption Analyzer
From the entered data, the application calculates the average normalized rate of consumption per hour, day, week, or month (bewteen two readings) and draws a graph showing the consumption rate over time. The total amount of actually used energy during each day, week, month, or quarter is displayed as a bar graph or table. If the average cost per unit is provided, the graphs can also show the amount of money instead of energy.
For CLOUD SYNC: Please install a suitable auto-sync app for your favorite cloud service and set it up to sync the contents of the ECAS data folder. Since there are so many cloud services to choose from and ready-made auto-sync apps are available for free, ECAS does not duplicate this functionality. This also means that ECAS does not need any network access rights.
Meter exchange or reset is detected automatically and consumption data is recorded seamlessly across the reset.
Pinch zoom can be used on the trend and bar graph pages. In landscape orientation, comments are displayed in the list view.
Indirect metering is supoorted. In this case, the meter value is multiplied with a certain factor to convert it to the final energy value. Two separate unit texts can be entered, one for the meter and one for the actual energy value.
Meters can be marked to count backwards, which can happen with prepaid meters, showing the amount of remaining prepaid energy instead of used energy.
Virtual meters can be used to display the sum of individual meters and do simple unit conversion, for example from m3 to kWh. Please note that you should read your physical meters which are part of a virtual meter all around the same time for best results.
Meter data can be imported from and exported to CSV files from the context menu of each meter (long-press on the meter entry). Meters can also be edited and deleted via this context menu.
In addition to meter readings, sensor data like temperature or wind speed can be recorded. At the moment, this data is shown separately, but may be shown in combination with meter data in future releases.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The trend graph does NOT show total amount of energy used. The bar graph is used for this information. The trend graph shows usage values normalized to a certain time period (hour/day/week/month or year). If your meter records a usage of 10kWh within one hour (10kW power), the trend will show a usage rate of 240kWh per day for that measurement point (10kWh/h = 10kW power rating, normalized to one day -> 10kW * 24h = 240kWh). This is by design.

New to hydro, nutrient issues i think
Hello everyone,
New to this forum and hydroponics.
here's my situation.
I'm trying to grow a type of lettuce called "lolla rossa" as my first hydroponic crop.
This is my "second" attempt before trying to get some answers on this forum.
I'm using a raft system.
Basically i have a 9 liter container 30x35 cm, an air pump with air curtain attached. The air pump is designed for up to 57L containers.
For nutrients I am a bit limited as hydroponics is a non existing market where i live in Romania.
My plan is to use commercial nutrients for soil plants, and mix them and dose them in such a way that I can get acceptable nutrients in the end.
I am using a combination of these 2 nutrients:
nutrient A
nutrient B
As I can tell they contain a number of macro and micro elements, but they lack other elements like Ca, Mg and S.
I am using
2.11 the indicated dosage of A
0.58 the indicated dosage of B
This gives me in the end, at least on paper an NPK of 18-7-21 [actual elements not K20 or N03)
Here's my process:
Germination - I started the seeds [they are standard seeds, if that means anything to anyone] in a germination box, like a tupperware container. The seeds are placed in small cups filled with LECA, cooconut yarn, and very diluted soil plant nutrient.
The germination results were excellent IMO, i got 25/27 seeds to germinate in less than 1 week they had already cotyledons.
After 1 week I put the seedlings in half strength nutrient solution, explained above. They had started to grow quite nicely, They had their first true leaf. At this time i did not have a pH meter or EC meter. I used tap water to make the solution. I tested the tap water afterward it showed 0.3mS EC and 7.2pH. So i can say i was quite happy that the seedlings had grown in such high pH water. I also moved the container with the seedlings under a south facing window, they had been on the north side of the house until now since I was colder there during germination, and I figured if they had more sun they would grow better.
1 Week later I transplanted the seedlings to the 9L container, the actual hydroponic system. By this time I had a pH meter and EC meter.
I made the nutrient solution with half tap water [7.2] and half demineralized water [ph 6] and the nutrient formulation from above.
I reduced the pH of the water to 5.9 using 9 deg vinegar, about 13ml for the 9Liters. The EC of the solution was 1.2mS. The ambient temperature was around 20-25 degrees.
After the transplant to the raft system, i placed the system under the south facing window, and, in 3-4 days the plants started to show signs of weakness i would call it.
The stem of the leaves has a red/purple tint to it. Some leaves have tipburn. They also seem to have stopped growing, none of them have more than 2 true leaves, and those are kind of as big as the cotyledons [1cm wide by 2-3cm long]
The nutrient water also smells funny.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I did wrong and how could I address the following issues, that I think are the problem with what I did.
I have these hypotheses, please feel free to shot them down, I'm new at this, and I'm still guessing in the dark.
1. The nutrient solution was not balanced. I mean it lacks Calcium and Magnesium. I calculated I'm missing about 120ppm Ca and 44ppm Mg for the 18-7-21 formula. Any ideas how to add these 2 elements? Epsom salts and some Calcium carbonate? Could it be unbalanced somehow because it is not "hydroponic nutrient". Is there any way I can get this to work using soil plant nutrients [not organic] and some other additives?
2. I transplanted the seedlings too soon. in retrospect, perhaps I should have waited 1 more week to do it?
3. The air pump is somehow pumping too much air into the system, perhaps encouraging microorganism growth in the nutrient?
Thanks for reading and feedback
Wow, that is a long lot of words. I'll help as much as I can.
I am answering different things randomly, so you may have to sift through your post to find what I'm referring to
the purpleish tint to the plant is customary of a phosphorus deficiency.
the tip burn is probably indicative of too strong a nutrient solution. you need to calculate your nutrient concentration, then test your EC. that way you know what concentrations produces the tested EC. something in the way of 500 ppm is probably about right for lettuces.
the smell in the water is from not enough air. you probably need more air in the system, not less.
a pH of 7.2 from the tap is not terrible. \
I read on another post that a pH of 5.9 was causing someone else problems with their lettuce. try keeping it around 6.5.
my source of Mg and S is epsom salts. I use greenhouse grade Calcium nitrate for calcuim and an additional source of Nitrogen.
I always germinate in plain water, though I have read of people using hi EC water to do it. after I have plants in the net pots, I always leave them in about 1/4 strength solution until roots come out the bottom. then I switch to full strength.
looks at your roots. what color are they? also, is there algae growing in your reservoir?
I know I didn't answer everything, but post back with further inquiries.
Hi Johnny,
I have studied your case, so to speak and understand pretty well what you are dealing with in Romania.
Looks like you are doing fine so far, except the lack of calcium and Magnesium (Sulfur). The only thing I'd leave out is the vinegar. If you can't (or don't want) use phosphoric acid or nitric acid, take citric acid instead. You should find it in powder form in some drug store or pharmacy.
>>This gives me in the end, at least on paper an NPK of 18-7-21 [actual elements not K20 or N03)You mean P205, not N03, I guess? Are you sure about having those values in actual elements? I'm asking this because the specs of your products are not expressed in actual elemental content but in P205 and K20!
Anyway, can you give me your final formula of each element in PPM? Even better of both products. That will be much easier for me anyway.
There is a way to complement your nutrient with Mg, Ca and S. You need the following raw materials: CaCl (calcium cloride), MgSO47H2O magnesium sulphate (fertilizer grade, not medical grade) and calcium nitrate.
I guess I understand your way of proceding with gram/liter and can give you clear instructions how much of each component or product (mentioned above) you need to add (in gram) to your existing products, to get almost exact PPM of Mg and Cl as well as S you need.
To do this accurately, I need your 'analyses' in PPM (each element provided) of both products, though.
Ideal PH for lettuce is between 5.5 and 5.8 and EC should be between 1.0 and 1.5 mS. Which means that you seem doing well concerning this point. Well, as long as your PH has no tendency to climb and your nutrient isn't evaporating to quickly (which induces raise of EC).
PS: As your variety of lettuce is called "lolla rossa", which I know from Europe, the red/purple color of the leaves and stems seems pretty normal, as rossa means red (in Italian), - doesn't it? ;-)
Please give me the result of your previous maths from both products and investigate about the required products and I'll do the necessary maths for you.
Cheers Mate!

Scott from Southern California– Verified Buyer
I was looking for a low profile single handle and single hole fixture for my bathroom remodel. Not the cheapest option out there but did not disappoint in quality. Handle functions smoothly and water comes out in a clean stream. Only issue is that when the handle is all the way open (most guest just throw it full open) it dispenses a lot of water. I'd like to be able to adjust that and the lit stats it has a water saving feature, just not how to adjust it.

Dr. Michel Sussmann, the obstetrician who delivered the twins, confirmed that mother and babies "are doing marvelously well."
Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Caesarean section on Saturday night.
He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed just over 5 pounds and the girl 5 pounds.
We hear the first baby photos have already been sold to one of the weeklies for $11 million dollars. And all the proceeds will go to charity.
Can't wait to see the newest addition to the Brangelina bunch! Congrats to the happy couple.
