Great news! American rock band Portugal. The Man will be opening for Paolo Nutini at Sowing the Seeds Music Festival at Emmarentia Dam on the 21st of March 2015. The indie group has graced the stages of Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza (to name a few) and will also be performing for one night only in Cape Town at Kirstenbosch Gardens on Friday the 20th of March 2015.
Portugal. The Man's latest album Evil Friends, was produced by Danger Mouse, the five-time Grammy award-winning producer behind everything from Gnarls Barkley and Beck to The Black Keys and now U2 and features melodic tracks like "Modern Jesus" and anthems like "Smile." Each track on Evil Friends is as different from the next as Portugal. The Man's previous records were from each other, which is to say a piece of a growing mindscape, and wholly a part of the group's tumbling fever dream.
The organisers of Sowing the Seeds, Seed Experiences were also excited to announce local band Diamond Thug, as the final addition to the Sowing the Seeds lineup! They will share the stage with loveable Desmond and the Tutu's, Shortstraw (now with a number one iTunes album under their belt), the soulful Bongeziwe Mabandla, Portugal. The Man and Scottish singer songwriter Paolo Nutini. The talented Desmond and the Tutu's were also chosen as the opening act for Portugal. The Man in Cape Town.
To get in the mood for Portugal. The Man's South African tour, have a listen to their song "Purple Yellow Red & Blue"
Tickets to both these amazing events are still available on Web Tickets, so make sure that you get your music loving paws on them before they sell. Buy now to avoid disappointment.
Update: Portugal. The Man's show in Cape Town at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens has been unavoidably rescheduled from Friday 20th March to Wednesday 25th of March. This is due to a mechanical fault with the airplane, on route to SA, which was forced to make an emergency landing.
Although this means that the indie-rockers will not be able to make it in time for their scheduled performance on Friday night, they will still be joining Joburg fans at Sowing the Seeds Music and Lifestyle Festival this Saturday, the 21st of March, as scheduled.
If you have bought tickets for the Cape Town show for this Friday the 20th of March, they are still valid for the new show date. Fans who cannot make the new show date are able to get a refund by emailing email@example.com before Tuesday the 24th of March at midday.
Seed Experiences is relieved the band is okay and apologizes for any inconvenience caused to fans, but still looks forward to a mind-blowing and world-class performance from the American band, supported by Desmond and the Tutus, next week!

I am adventurous and do my best to enjoy and appreciate every day. Life is full of change and some days are better than others, but there's so much to appreciate and be grateful for each day. I like to stay active and try different things. I took up golf recently. That will be a project. Love music of most kinds and will go to see a band or performer that I haven't heard before.

Don't know if I can describe myself in a few sentences, but its a start. My ideal match would be with someone who I truly enjoy being with, where we talk easily together and love spending time together and doing some fun things. Someone who has a romantic side, is passionate and enjoys being close. Where we share that 'spark' and have a mutual attraction towards eachother.

The most beautiful place/landscape in Sri Lanka. The tea plantation and tea factory are worth visiting.
The weather is so pleasant, the landscapes surrounding specially of the tea plantations are lovely.
The people in general polite and helpful.
Sri Lanka is famous with Ceylon tea and till today tea plantation is still playing a very important role in Sri Lanka. When planning for our trip to Sri Lanka, besides visiting Buddhist ruins tea garden is another highlight in the country.
We came to Nuwara Eliya from Kandy, and we chosen an interesting way to come here, it's by...
Must have this experience .Had a cup of tea and bough expensive tea from their factory outlet. Also checked how they make tea from tea leaf .
Everyone who is going to Sri Lanka should visit this area.
This place is just amazing, absolutely awesome views on hills and valleys with tea plantations.
It is something special, 2000 meters above sea level, fully green with breathtaking views.
( there you will see many kind of green color).
Just be prepared for big temperature drop in the night...
Nuwara Eliya, esp Horton plains is this dream place that everyone should visit at least once in life. So close to nature. We managed to find a nice tuk tuk person who took us to Horton plains, Macwood, Blue field tea factory, Ramboda falls, viewpoint on a full day trip for just 5000lkr. He was friendly and speaks Mostly comprehensible...
Everyone travelling to Sri Lanka should atleast keep two days stay at Nuwara Eliya. Beautiful scenic place with lots of tea plantations all around. A much needed respite from otherwise a bit hot and humid Sri Lanka. You can stroll in the Victoria park or the beautiful lake in the city, can go to Romboda falls, New Zealand farm or...
Tea plantations,Hortons p and Plains, two golf courses and plenty of walks and lake(Gregory) nearby. All very pleasing activities and being cooler these activities are not too rigorous
Choose tea rooms that are larger as they tend to be cleaner. Cakes and tea are quite cheap, and you could also buy lots of tea at reasonable prices to bring back as gifts. Do visit a tea processing centre. We went to the Mackwoods co.
Can't say enough about how gorgeous this area is - tea plantations abound, I felt like I was in the transported back to the 19th century. Not to be missed if you are in Sri Lanka
Register now for free — and start getting automatic notification of new reviews, responding to traveler feedback, adding new photos to your listing and much more.
We are going to Newara Eliya in the train, can someone tell us how can we get to the Tea country? Is there any bus that takes you there?
Hi, can you suggest moderate places to stay in Nuwara Elia for 2 days?

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director

1 The whole assembly then rose, and they brought him before Pilate.
2 They began their accusation by saying, 'We found this man inciting our people to revolt, opposing payment of the tribute to Caesar, and claiming to be Christ, a king.'
3 Pilate put to him this question, 'Are you the king of the Jews?' He replied, 'It is you who say it.'
4 Pilate then said to the chief priests and the crowd, 'I find no case against this man.'
5 But they persisted, 'He is inflaming the people with his teaching all over Judaea and all the way from Galilee, where he started, down to here.'
6 When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man were a Galilean;
7 and finding that he came under Herod's jurisdiction, he passed him over to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Herod was delighted to see Jesus; he had heard about him and had been wanting for a long time to set eyes on him; moreover, he was hoping to see some miracle worked by him.
9 So he questioned him at some length, but w
John wants to emphasize that service is essential to our life of faith. Just as the Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life, so, too, is humble service. We cannot have one without the other.

Bee Balm - powder mildew?
This bee balm has been in the garden for a few months and is doing well, except that it recently developed this white covering on the leaves. Is this powder mildew, or is is something else? What should I do about it?
The plant is at least 2 feet from the wooden fence, gets full morning sun, but the fence gives some shade later in the day.
Thanks in advance
It is powdery mildew and happens most usually during dry weather, not wet as most would think. The way to deal with it is before it happens by spraying with a commercial fungicide or a home made remedy of milk and water as a prentitive(about a 1 to 9 ratio I think) mixed in a sprayer. Now that the mildew is on the monarda, you may be able to keep it from getting mush worse by using the commercial fungicide.
Definitely powdery mildew. Since the plant looks pretty well spent/bloomed out, cut it back and dispose of the cuttings anywhere but in your compost pile - if you compost. And make sure to clean up any fallen leaves and pieces because if left in place, even over the winter, rain splash up can reinfect the plant all over again.
After cutting back, you might treat it as recommended above, since it will continue to put out new growth well into the fall.
You can help avoid powdery mildew by thinning out some stems so there's good air circulation, and by not wetting the leaves when watering. But sometimes, despite all best efforts, PM happens.
I never could get monarda to take hold for me, but I sometimes run into the same thing with phlox.
I used a native red Monarda in the Butterfly Garden that was covered in PM from the get go this spring. Kind of expected it, though. Didn't spray anything because of butterflies but guess I could've used the milk solution mentioned.
Was going to switch to some newer purple Monarda varieties that are advertised as mildew resistant but I see you've got a purple Monarda. If I find out from experienced people on Butterfly Forum that treating with milk solution is alright I may still switch out the red for one of the more resistant varieties. I'll put the red Monarda in an outlying area where it can fight it out with poison ivy, garlic mustard, poke weed and whatever else decides to invade after I think I've pulled all of some other weed.
At the beginning of this gardening venture I thought it would take a year or two to get the beds straight as to what worked and didn't. Then I could just sit back and tend to plants needs and enjoy. Now I realize making gardens isn't something you do once and then tweak a couple times. It never ends...LOL.
That said, I have the feeling I'm going to be pulling red Monarda seedlings from all over the place next spring... LOL. I've cut off to the ground all the moldy old stems and foliage with spent flowers and it's already spreading by runners with new little Monardas popping up.
In any event, I'm going to treat early and often if it doesn't harm the butterflies. Don't think nectaring hummingbirds are as sensitive as butterflies.
I have a very dense, about 6' in diameter, patch of Monarda 'Raspberry Wine'. It is said to be "very mildew resistant". To date, it doing fine...no mildew, which considering the thickness of the growth and recent dry spell surprises me greatly. The same patch last year was much smaller and thinner, but did eventually suffer from a minor bout of mildew near the end of the it's bloom time.
At the nursery where I work, we carry three more dwarf cultivars of Monarda that are more resistant to mildew-- Grand Marshall, Grand Parade, and Petite Delight. Though they are still getting some mildew it is not to the level of other Monarda and could proabably be attributed to being too close on the tables and receiving water on the leaves. When we have mildew we treat with Triple Action Plus, which contains a naturally derived neem oil which prevents and retards the spread of mildew; it often actually improves much of the foliage when reapplied every two weeks.
The worst pest in my organic garden over the years has been powdery mildew. I have learnt a few things the hard way and have fewer problems with this nuisance now.
It is good to remember that some plants never get powdery mildew no matter what and other plants likely will, no matter how they are grown. I really don't like spraying anything and have learnt that it pays to discard those older varieties of easily infected plants and buy ONLY the newer mildew resistant varieties. Far less work in the long run. Those that head the list for susceptibility in my garden have been: Monarda, Summer Phlox, Peas, Grapes, and some Veronicas. I'm sure there are a other trouble makers too.
Here is my list to prevent this problem from developing in the first place:
- Use only resistant varieties. THE most important thing! (I particularly recommend 'Violet Queen' for a Monarda--also less prolific than the older types.)
- Good Ventilation-thin out thick plants with decontaminated shears.(Hot soapy running water or a weak bleach solution.) Also keep potential problem plants spaced well...and away from fences.
- Avoid shade but water well. I find dryness + shade to be a trigger for P.M. Water thoroughly and early in the day, so the plant dries quickly. Avoid evening watering in late summer at all costs. It is a guaranteed recipe for trouble in my area.
- Dispose of any diseased leaves or branches that you DO find promptly in a closed container, so the mildew can't blow around in the wind and create further problems.
- I have never seen this anywhere in all my garden reading, but feel that under planting a susceptible plant with a thick resistant ground cover can keep it from getting infected. I'm guessing that the ground cover is blocking interaction between powdery mildew and the soil. This also helps to keep consistant moisture in the ground, as would a mulch...so this might be the reason it works too. I often use Moss Phlox for underplanting. The odd piece of grass manages to grow through but it never, ever gets the dreaded P.M. Moss Phlox, although gorgeous in the spring does need to be trimmed well or divided every year or two, to keep it nice, so you might want to try another, lower maintenance alternative.

Better for shorter hair I had high hopes for this product, having owned a couple hot air brushes over the years. I thought, "Finally! One that incorporates an auto-revolving brush! GENIUS!" Where it fell short though is in the options. The blower/heat and brush speed settings are not separate. If this device had separate settings for heat & speed, it would have been perfect. Unfortunately, the high speed was too fast and tangled my fine hair into a mess, and the slow brush speed setting was the right speed for me, but the low heat/blowing power did little for my hair. I need high blowing power/heat and the low spinning speed. As is, it definitely would take me a LOT longer to style my hair with this tool than to just blow it out manually. If the product were redesigned with separate brush and temp/blower settings, I would probably rate it 5 stars and recommend it to everyone. Alas, IMO, only shorter-hair lengths (shoulder length max) might find this a 5 star styling tool. Almost makes me want to cut my hair to be able to use it, but not ready to take THAT leap just yet. February 10, 2015
Hot Air Brush The item is just good. It just doesn't get hot enough and the bristles are too soft. Not good for thick hair. It takes longer to dry and style hair than a former product I was using which was cheaper. February 4, 2015
Really good product I read many of the reviews before purchasing this product because who can judge better than the people who own it? Since it had many good reviews, I bought one. Yes, it does take some getting use to but for those of us with thin, fine hair, I would certainly recommend this product. The trick is getting your hair dried to the point where this product can be used. No over or under-drying. Using the rotation buttons is a little tricky, too, until you get used to which way the brush needs to rotate. I have a lot more body at my roots which is exactly what I was looking for. Don't get discouraged, just keep practicing. I mastered the technique on my third try. February 19, 2014
Exacly what I was looking for I bought 2 other items from sallys before this one, and am very happy with this product. Its one of those things you learn as you go, I found it works much better on almost dry hair. I start at the root and work my way to the ends. and using the cool feature at the end of each roll makes a huge diffierence. Love this product, it was well worth the $$ November 27, 2013

Dec 9, 2013 — RootsAction is asking its supporters if they would back a Bernie Sanders presidential campaign. The survey is at http://act.rootsaction.org/p/salsa/web/questionnaire/public/?questionnaire_KEY=702. Please share it far and wide. I have indicated on the survey that I would support Sanders if and only if he seeks the Green Party nomination. You might note the same, if you wish.
RootsAction is a progressive organization coordinated by David Swanson, who is a member of the Green Shadow Cabinet and was part of the Dennis Kucinich 2004 presidential campaign.

I recently installed weldless fittings and a Blichmann thermometer into my 10 gallon Igloo MLT, but am totally disappointed with the results.
With hot water only in the MLT, with constant stirring, it reads correctly. But once I add grains and everything stabilizes, it reads at least 15 degrees cooler than actual (as measured with a thermocouple immersed in the mash at the top of the cooler). Stirring does not appreciably affect things.
During lautering (draining of batch sparge) temperature does read more sensibly.
The thermometer has a 4" stem and protrudes into the MLT at least an inch. I have calibrated the thermometer against another one like it and against my Cole Parmer thermocouple.
My theory is that all the metal outside the cooler - the thermometer itself, and coupler and half the nipple, is closer to ambient temp (40F) and is affecting the reading.
Anyone else have this problem, and/or ideas on its cause and its resolution?
Sometimes the bi metal thermometers will stick. I have a different brand of thermometer mounted in my two kettles and they read accurately over the entire mash.
At least they agree with my thermocouple thermometer.
Stainless Weldless kits and Flat $5.00 shipping to USA 50 States!
STAINLESS STEEL 3 piece valves $10.95! 2 piece valves $7.99
I wondered about that, but don't think sticking is the problem. I haven't observed it to stick during any of my calibration efforts, and I tried tapping it when it was reading low during the mash.
I have a similar setup in my BLK (a keggle) and don't get the same problem at all.
I'm wondering if the problem is unique to the cooler, that perhaps in a keggle there is enough heat transfer to the fitting holding the thermometer that it gets warmed up, but that in the cooler the fitting is cold.
It does occur to me that for my next brew I'll swap the thermometers, put the shorter-stem one from my BLK into the MLT and the new 4 incher into the BLK.
I have a 4" stem in my Mash kettle and 2.5" in the boil kettle.
I don't think you would get that much temp wicking away by the fitting / thermometer. If you did you would feel it get hot.
I think you are probably on the right track. If you have nearly three inches of the probe in the wall of the cooler (colder temp than contents) or outside the cooler all together, the net reading is going to be pretty far off if the inside/outside temp differential is large. I have heard of people warming up their coolers for a while before they mash to get rid of the "thermal mass". Maybe that would keep the difference between wall temp and inside temps closer and get better readings?
I do preheat the cooler, but in any case the low temp reading occurs throughout the mash, i.e. until the end.
Bargain, I'm not sure if your logic about it not wicking heat if it doesn't feel warm is correct, or is completely wrong. I guess my thought is that the fitting is cold, due to be being insulated from the hot mash by the cooler, and is therefore causing the thermometer to be cold.
However I have my doubts. I'd love to hear from folks with cooler (not keggle) MLTs with thermometers.
Thanks all for the feedback,
I used to use a dial thermometer, but was experiencing similar results to yours. I now use a digital thermometer and get more accurate results, plus it has a built in timer, and audible temperature alarms.
I am a little baffled by the 15 degree difference if you say the thermometer is calibrated. I do get a small difference in temp over time on my metal kettle without any insulation on it but not 15 degrees.
Did you swap the thermometers to see if they are reading the same?
Try using your thermocouple lead right next to the end of the thermometer stem to see if they agree on the temp during the mash. You could attach it with a twist tie or something to be sure it right next to the probe end.
I think lehr had a problem with the Blichmann thermometer sticking. The True temp bimetal that I have has been dead nuts on with my thermapen .
'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'- Ronald Reagan
I haven't brewed since I last observed the problem, but when I do again (probably 2 weeks) I'll swap the thermometers. I like the thermocouple idea as well - my current probe is not long enough, but I was planning to order a different anyway.
Just to reiterate - the thermometer is definitely calibrated, and it definitely not sticking.
Thanks again all for the feedback.

If I decoupage a chair can it be used to sit in?
I am working on an old school chair. My daughter's kindergarten class will auction this off to raise funds at the PTL auction.
One idea was to put the children's photos on the chair (decoupage) and offering a certificate of authenticity with a diagram noting who's who. My question is if this is the way we choose to go, is the chair still functional? And would I use just standard decoupage medium or do I need to use shellac? The chair will be painted and have some type of design to it where the pictures will be part of the design (i.e. Mrs. Richard's Garden with the kids photos as faces on the flowers.)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Yep, Lydia's right, just varnish them or polyurethane with several coats and you'll be OK. Also, don't forget to check the legalities of using the children's photos. You may need to get signed releases from the parents since you'll be selling it. (I'm not sure about this, so please check with the school board.)
What a fantastic idea of using the children's school photos. Any parent of a child in that class would be proud to own that. I would even think a teacher might purchase it and donate it to the school to be put in a display case.
I can't take credit for the idea Craftlady, my dad came up with it. Every class at the school does a project, and as you would guess the parents of that class are usually the only bidders. A chair painted by this teacher's class two years ago went for $500 plus. (It used the kids' thumbprints in a heart and said "Thumbody loves Me") Needless to say I have some big expectations to live up to!
omg what an awesome idea...so I hope you dont mind if i borrow it....my daughters father passed away this summer...(he was only 49)... I have tons of photos of him and him/ her together...plus i have an old chair to boot...this would be perfect for her to have plus she can share it with her children and they would get to see there wonderful grandfather everyday!!!...

Funny happenings during your kitchen remodel
I thought it might be fun to post about funny things that happened during your kitchen remodel.
Here's mine: I ordered 2 different models of miele ovens from an online store. I received two miele ovens of the same model, one of which was very badly damaged. I called the co. and they sent two additional ovens out...and then they sent two more! I had SIX miele ovens sitting in my unfinished house! I called a couple times to let them know, but they did not pick them up. After a few weeks I called again. You would think they would notice the ovens missing in their inventory. Anyway, they eventually did send a truck out to get them. Part of me was hoping they would never show so I could sell them on craigslist.
While the electrician was at the house, I noticed a HUGE king snake in the old drained diving pool. It couldnt get out. I couldnt leave it there to suffer and die in the 100+ degree heat. So, I went down into the deep dry pool with a broom to get it out. I swear it knew I was trying to help it, because it wrapped around the broom. During all this, the big burly electrician kept his distance screaming like a little girl, refusing to help. "Are you crazy???" he was yelling over and over. My goodness! It was clearly a nonpoisonous king snake!
Haha, the snake story is so funny. My DH would have been screaming too!
I haven't had too many funny stories yet, but the other day my mom and I were at the house looking around and our GC stopped working and was telling us different things and I noticed his fly was down and open, so I told him. He looked so embarrassed and said sorry, I said no worries, I thought you'd rather know now than later. The problem was as I started telling him (quietly off to the side) a compressor went on so I had to repeat it very loudly twice and the compressor went off so I was yelling it. Yikes. Poor guy. My mom and I laughed later.
The part of the range hood that was supposed to hold it onto the ceiling went missing. I have a sneaking suspicion that someone in my family mistook its box for trash and put it out in the alley for collection. I don't think that's funny right now, because it resulted in an unplanned soffit which is going to lead to an ugly tile situation later (not that I care all that much about appearance). But I hope that this time next year, I'll be laughing about it.
During bathroom remodel, I left to run errands. When I came back the contractor asked me, "What is that bird I hear? Every time it sings I run out onto the porch quick to see but it's gone!"
He was hearing the clock in the pantry which has a different bird song on the hour. LOL
Oops, this was suppose to be during a kitchen remodel. Sorry.

I don't happen to find this funny at all, but everyone I know does.
I've hung my kitchen cabinets 3 different times, each time maybe a year later taking them down and giving them away. I did it again in November, and my SIL is ecstatic. Even the paint on them goes beautifully in her kitchen.
My friends roll their eyes and say, "Only you!" But I guess living without a kitchen AT ALL for about 5 years has left me without fear.
Now, I'm almost done acquiring my beloved beaded inset cabinets. Even the ones I got from reuse centers, I stroke and pet, and say, "Soooo pretty..." I'm going to exemplify "eclectic," "unfitted," and, "Ummm very interesting, Christine."

Concrete bricks for school project
My students want to make concrete bricks for an end-of-year project. The idea is to make bricks that they can write their names in while they're drying. I've never tried doing something like and I would really like some advice. I was thinking of using shoe boxes for molds. Would that work?
See, I told that I didn't know what I was doing!
I would think that shoe boxes would be fine! Just a think layer of concrete, then as it is setting up they can write their name in it. What will be done with the bricks? Remember, a shoe box is much larger than brick, more like a stepping stone.
Make sure they wear plastic gloves, concrete is very caustic. This will make a huge mess so needs to be done outside and wear old clothes. Plastic containers are better because the concrete might push out the sides of a box if it's too wet.
After they finish decorating the blocks they should seal them in a plastic bag and set aside for three days to cure. Any bag from the store will work.
Be careful mixing, or if you are using premixed, when you add the water, dust is harmful to breathe, mix by pulling toward you in smooth even motion, I use a hoe. And when you think it is well mixed, mix it some more because if it is not well mixed the blocks may not stay together or corners break off. shoebox with plastic lining it would keep cardboard from soaking up the moisture & making a mess. Might run it past the mosaic or concrete forums for more ideas. How many kids to do you that would be doing it? Might get expensive.Maybe by shoe boxes you mean plastic ones?I think you have to rub them with Vaseline so you can get the concrete out, they would be pretty heavy so might drop on their toes. A place that sells food containers to cafes might have some disposable containers a little smaller & easier to work with. Jan
Mixing concrete needs to be done by adults and wear a mask because the breathing the dust is harmful.
I've found that containers with thin walls like a cardboard shoe box won't hold concrete well even if you line it with plastic because the sides will slump out as you pack the mix in unless you have a lot of skill with controlling the moisture in the mix.
Plastic would be better. I don't know what kind of budget you have, but my grocery store carries Glad brand plastic containers very reasonably. I'm thinking in the 3 for $2 range for a sandwich-sized container, which is the size I'd recommend. Or maybe you have a dollar store nearby that you could scour for deals? Just remember the stuff is HEAVY. Shoe boxes would be a little on the big side, IMO, unless you're talking about baby shoes, and I agree with those who said cardboard would need to be lined with plastic that won't leak.
If you use plastic as your form, spray the inside with Pam before filling with concrete.
Also, this is VERY important: Use mortar mix, not regular concrete mix. The aggregate in mortar mix is sand which leaves it smooth enough for carving names. Concrete mix has gravel and won't work. As others have mentioned, you also want to be careful not to add too much water. You'll want to be able to shape it into a ball in your hand and have it hold. If it falls apart when you lightly press it, add a little more water, but you don't want it drippy like cake batter. Think sugar cookie dough instead.
Once you pack it into your molds, water may collect on the top while the kids are trying to carve their names. Don't fret that. Just lay a paper towel on top and let it soak up for a minute.
Also, depending on the age of your kids, you might want to have a metal file or coarse sandpaper handy, so you can smooth down the top edge a bit after you unmold it. Concrete can be really sharp, but will take well to gently filing if it's only a few days old.
As others have said, you'll want to be able to cover your bricks with plastic and let them cure for at least 2 days before unmolding and letting the kids take home. So make sure to give yourself enough time.
Not sure what I'm forgetting.....I love, love, love working with concrete and mortar and think this will be a fun project for your kids. I'd recommend you giving it a shot on your own first then make adjustments from there. Careful, though, as you might get hooked! LOL I started out with stepping stones and am now making sculptures using metal armature (you can check them out on my blog below for kicks).
Here is a link that might be useful: Loribees Garden Blog
I did this a few years back but had each one bring a cake or pie pan. This way it didn't take so much cement. The shoe box would work but some are kind of big. Why couldn't you use some of those disposable pans made for small loaves of bread and that way you could get them at Walmart or the Dollar Store cheap. The pie pans worked great for us and they could write on them or even decorate them with little glass stones or really anything. I had a little concrete mixer that looked like a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and you were supposed to make sure the lid was fastened and that way you could roll the bucket on the ground and the concrete came out great. My husband mixed all of the concrete and there was plenty for everyone. Ours turned out like stepping stones but it would work in the little pans and be uniform in size.
"Why couldn't you use some of those disposable pans made for small loaves of bread"
Ooh, great idea! I've used those disposable foil cake pans as molds for stepping stones and they worked great. Do spray the inside with a little bit of Pam though, as it helps them pop right out.

300g/11oz shallots, peeled
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small swede, peeled and chopped
410g/14½oz unsalted butter
salt and freshly ground black pepper
250g/9oz Anglesey potatoes, peeled, chopped
125ml/4½fl oz double cream
20g/1oz freshly grated horseradish
500g/1lb 2oz shiitake mushrooms, washed thoroughly to remove any grit, smoked in a home smoker according to manufacturer's instructions
drizzle vegetable oil
For the basil jelly, bring a pan of water to the boil and blanch the basil leaves for 30 seconds. Drain, then place the blanched basil into a food processor and blend until smooth.
Pass the basil purée through a fine sieve placed over a bowl to catch the juice. Discard the solids left behind in the sieve.
Add the agar-agar powder to the bowl of basil juice and stir well until dissolved. Pour into a rectangular container or mould lined with cling film, cover with a lid and chill in the fridge until set (about 1-2 hours).
Once the basil jelly has set, cut it into small 1cm/½in cubes and place into a clean container. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve.
For the shallot purée, preheat the oven to 140C/275F/Gas 1.
Place the shallots into a roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the shallots are golden-brown and softened. Set aside two whole roasted shallots and blend the remaining roasted shallots in a food processor until smooth.
Pass the shallot purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, then discard the solids left behind in the sieve. Set the purée aside.
For the beef and vegetables, cook the chopped swede in a pan of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Drain well, then blend the cooked swede in a food processor until smooth. Stir 110g/4oz of the butter into the swede purée until melted. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper then pass through a sieve to remove any lumps.
Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water for 18-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain well, then mash the cooked potatoes until smooth using a potato ricer.
Add 250g/9oz of the remaining butter and all of the cream and horseradish, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
Heat the remaining 50g/2oz of butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the smoked shiitake mushrooms and fry for 6-8 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Season the fillet steaks, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium to high heat. Add the seasoned steaks (in batches if preferred) and fry for 4-5 minutes on both sides (for rare), or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest. Keep warm. (Reserve any cooking juices in the pan).
For the mushroom gratin, heat the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat until melted.
Grind the dried mushrooms to a fine powder in a spice grinder or food processor, or using a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and creamy. Add the mushroom powder and mix well to combine.
Bring a little water to the boil in a pan. Reduce the heat until the water is simmering, then suspend the bowl with the egg yolks and mushroom mixture over the simmering water (do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water).
Gradually add the melted butter to the egg mixture in a thin stream, whisking continuously until the mixture has thickened and is well combined and is at the ribbon stage. Remove from the heat and set aside. Cover and keep warm.
For the port sauce, heat 75ml/2½fl oz of the port, all of the cooking juices reserved from the fillet steaks and all of the thyme in a pan over a medium heat. Reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering gently and continue to simmer until the volume of liquid has reduced by half.
To serve, preheat the grill to its highest setting. Layer the smoked shiitake mushrooms into the bottom of four ovenproof serving dishes or large ramekins. Spoon over the egg yolk and mushroom mixture. Cut the reserved whole roasted shallots in half lengthways and place one into the centre of each dish or ramekin. Grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the tops are golden-brown. Place each ramekin onto a serving plate. Place quenelles of the mashed potatoes and mashed swede alongside. Place one steak on top of each serving of mashed potatoes. Drizzle over the port sauce. Garnish the plate with four small cubes of basil jelly and dot each cube of jelly with a little of the shallot purée.

Fewer, But Costlier Earmarks in 2010February 17, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
Taxpayers for Common Sense has completed their analysis of congressional earmarking for fiscal year 2010 and found that, while Congress approved almost 2,000 fewer earmarks this year, the total cost of all earmarks actually increased from $15.6 billion in 2009 to $15.9 billion this year. You can read TCS's full report here (.pdf).
The report includes information on the top earmark winners in both chambers for FY '10.
These are the top earmarkers in the Senate for 2010:
And these are top earmakers in the House in 2010 (Note: unlike the Senate numbers, these do not include jointly sponsored earmarks. TCS says, "there are too many instances where a House member's joint earmark number is almost entirely the result of a strong in‐state Senator."):

You are right
Rand is really good at this. He is one of us but has learned better than most of us how to take our message to others. We all got better between 2008 and 2012, but Rand became a pro. He is not the kind of revolutionary that could forge the path like his dad but he is definitely the kind of guy who will lead more people down it. As long as his votes are consistant with his solid rhetoric, he will deserve our support.

This past October, five NYC-area schools shared a $125,000 donation from LeapFrog to fund the installation of the LeapTrack Assessment and Instruction System; included were P.S. 44 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and P.S. 399 in Flatbush. To choose the schools, LeapFrog SchoolHouse partnered with the NYC Board of Education, administration and participating principals to identify the most at-risk schools, representing low-income, free and reduced lunch, and special needs students. Donations were made in the hopes of "closing the achievement gap." "We wanted to leverage it for kids whose parents aren't in the economic position to buy one of these things," says Maureen Gravioli, director of product marketing for LeapFrog SchoolHouse. Gravioli touts the accessibility of the products. "They run on batteries and they're portable," she says. "You don't need to have the wizard behind the curtain helping you figure out how to work it. You put the headphones on and press 'go'." While Leapfrog SchoolHouse has been in NYC for almost three years, only in the past 6-9 months has the core program been adapted on a large scale. This expansion is due in part to the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, the controversial education reform law designed to improve academic achievement with a focus on low-performing schools. NCLB asks that schools accommodate more special ed students, as well as boost their English language development and after-school programs. Leapfrog SchoolHouse aims to provide tools that address these concerns. Perhaps the most widely used and successful of these tools is the LeapTrack System. Its primary function is to help teachers effectively manage a large range of skill levels — a challenge in overcrowded urban classrooms. Here's how it works: Children use personal desktop LeapPads or Quantum Pads, complete with headphones and stylus, to work on standardized tests and other level-appropriate exercises. When they are finished, the teacher removes a cartridge from the LeapPad that records student data. The cartridge is then plugged into the teacher's computer, where results are formatted into reports that gauge student performance against state standards. From there, teachers can prescribe a "learning path" with specialized content based on individual strengths and weaknesses. LeapTrack's formalized reports also serve a secondary purpose: They help schools to meet the NCLB requirement that the state be provided with assessments of every public school student's progress in reading and math from grades 3-8. At P.S. 44 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, principal Deborah Knight is optimistic about what LeapTrack can do for her students. "I hope it helps children to become independent," she says. "I hope it helps them with reading fluency and gives them strategies to use when they come across tricky language." When Knight first learned of the grant, "I told them I wasn't going to accept it because I couldn't have my teachers go through any more training," she says. "They were already overwhelmed." Happily, Knight and LeapFrog SchoolHouse were able to devise a plan that would allow students to benefit from the products without putting added stress on staff: They got the parents involved. LeapTrack has now been added to the school's Saturday Family Literacy Program, where kids and parents work together on LeapTrack material, taking pressure off teachers. "Children enjoy it," says Knight. "They like the fact that they have their own individual component to work from. The fact that they get feedback right away is very positive. And parents are pleased!" Soon, LeapTrack will be a part of P.S. 44's literacy intervention program for grades 2 and 3. Also in the works is the installation of Language First! for students learning English as a second language. "What we're waiting for is laptops from the Board of Ed," says Knight. (Teachers need their own computers to supervise the LeapTrack system). Interestingly, Knight had never heard of LeapFrog before receiving the grant. "I wasn't really familiar with LeapFrog, then I found out from many staffers or parents, 'Oh, I bought that for my niece or nephew or daughter,'" she says. Currently, 43 percent of P.S. 44 students are on or above grade level. "Our literacy is getting better, but we're not yet where we want to be," says Knight. "LeapFrog is just another dimension to help us move in the right direction."

RC Battleship Drops Real Explosive Depth Charges On Enemy Submarine (video)
If you own an RC car, boat, submarine or helicopter than you're probably a self pronounced geek. And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock it. Geek the f*ck out because there are some bad ass remote controlled vehicles out there. But I have yet to see anything that can eclipse this boat and submarine setup. Two camera angles captured the action (above and below water), which involves the battle ship dropping very small depth charges onto the submarine just below. And before you move on to your next blog or post, checkout the video. Those depth charges are real working explosives.

WATCH: Goalkeeper knocks out two players
Colorado Rapids turned down Diego Forlan but remain coy on Kevin Doyle
Colorado Rapids claim to have rejected the chance to sign Cerezo Osaka striker Diego Forlan but are refusing to rule out a move for Wolves forward Kevin Doyle.
Forlan, who joined Cerezo last January, is out of contract in the summer when his deal with the Japanese club expires.
Paul Bravo, the vice president of soccer operations and technical director of the Rapids, has revealed that the Major League Soccer side were offered the former Uruguay captain but turned down the chance to sign him.

The Japan-based attacker is desperately trying to show the Austrian boss that he should be part of the 23-man party that heads to Vietnam for Group A games with the host nation, the Philippines and Laos. But according to Riedl, time is running out.
"At the moment, it doesn't look good for him," Riedl told...

My thoughts about good guitars in humid environments are that short term hi humidity is not the problem, its long periods of very high humidity (above 60%) and then a change to low ( <35% ). I keep my Collings guitar in a Calton hardcase with a dehumidifier in the string compartment of case. You can buy these dehumidifiers at gun shops or Brownells online. They are the size of cigarette pack, you recharge them so to speak by putting them in an oven at 300 degrees F. for 3 hours. They keep my guitar at 45-55 % humidity in the case for 3 or 4 weeks even when humidity outside is much higher. The key is an airtight case like the Calton, or if using a lesser case, get a case cover.
I think exposure to direct sunlight ( hi temperature ) is much more concern than short term exposure to hi humidity. I do agree that a cheap used guitar is the safe way to go. I like 80s-90s Washburns, all solid wood, find em on ebone or Craiglist for couple hundred or so for a D-35.
