Found it! I'd been looking for this pin for ages, the recipe is awesome. Stuffed green peppers with brown rice, italian sausage and parmesan.

Recipe for Stuffed Green Peppers with Brown Rice, Italian Sausage, and Parmesan. Healthier options: sub lean ground beef for 1/2 sausage, sub 1/2 rice for sauteed carrot, celery, zucchini and extra bell pepper bits! More veggies, less other junk! Brown rice instead of white, the texture actually adds to the dish!
Stuffed Bell Peppers - one cup of long-grain brown rice, barely slicing off the bottom of the bell pepper to make a flat spot for the pepper to stand on, slice off a generous portion of the stem end. Remove the stem and chop up the bell pepper and one large onion finely. saute the peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes, until they are starting to soften but aren't browned. Remove the onion/pepper mixture from the pan and brown 2 turkey italian sausage links. Return onion/pepper mix to the pan. Add dried spices and saute 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors. Then mix in the cooked brown rice and Parmesan cheese and cook 1-2 minutes to warm the mixture. Stuff the filling mixture into the peppers, pushing down with a spoon so the peppers are tightly stuffed. Cook the stuffed peppers at 375 F/190C for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove from oven and put a generous pinch of grated mozzarella on top of each pepper. Put peppers back in the oven and bake 10-15 minutes more, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve hot.

Having trouble
I just don't understand it!!! I have grown everything, from sensitive orchids and carnivores to citrus and ficus trees, yet I am killing violets by the half dozen!!!
I started with ebay purchases, most came looking a bit ''tired'', but nothing that implied they were one death's door. A couple came in in perfect shape as well.
If you have read my intro and shout out post, you will note that the frist time I repotted some violets, I used bone meal and gave the plants a soak in disinfectant that I used in the past for other plant to elminate pest.
I think I may have overwatered the mix initially and then we had several cloudy and rainy days that kept the growing environment overly cool.
Convinced it was either the bone meal or disinfectant soak, as well as the cool days not allowing for the mix to dry out, I repotted again in a mix that had almost no bone meal, but again it went sour quickly, even with minimal watering. They days continued to be cool and dreary and I was begging for some nice, window light to light my struggling plants and warm things up.
I finally moved back to my own place and had some more violets that were new and had not been repotted at all.
I did not soak them, did not use bone meal. I wicked them, and cut the soil mix with ample perlite and vermiculite. I forgot to mention the use of dolomite lime in the mix as well and this was checked pefore and after with a Ph soil test kit until the final mix was a Ph of 6.5-6.8. I set them up in the basement, where the temps stayed in the mid 60sF for a week or so, but now approaches the mid to high 70's during the day. Still they declined and the ones that were already struggling were repotted again and wicked and all the rotten roots and basal portions were removed, but they still were getting no better.
In desperation, I moved them upstairs, to a warmer room, nearly 80F during the day and never less then 70F at night, and still, I lost a few more and the hangers on looked no better and were slowly losing leaves. I should also mention they were being kept in a sterlite container at this point to keep up humidity and facilitate recovery and new root growth.This is a lot of repotting and rerepotting and moving around for the plants, I know, but they never seemed to be improving and after a couple weeks with continued decline, I felt compelled each time to try and improve/ modify some element of the growing environment.
Today I had enough. I removed them all from thier pots, examined the bases to find no root growth and I trimmed away all the leaves, but the center few and planted them in a plug tray for starting seeds. In the same tray, I have successfully rooted leaves from all of the failing plants and the leaves were subjected to the same soil mix (sans bone meal) cool days, and moving about, but they rooted and did not rot. Also, the mix stays fresh in the tray, but turns ''sour'' looking and looks aged within days in the pots. So now I wait and see if they root again under the conditions in the leaf rooting tray.
Now I have also got a few streps and petrocosmeas in the same time span and they are doing just great! Now I haven't repotted any of them, b/c I am terrified to do so without knowing why I am failing miserably with my violets.
I keep the pets and streps at around 60F-65F at night and about 68F-74F during the day. I use Optimara fertilizer, half and half of the violet feed and houseplant feed to equal one full dose, per the instruction on the container. They are on wicks and the wicks are removed from the water until the soil looks dry and the pots get light from lack of water, but are returned before the plants wilt or show any distress. In this way, they are fed each watering as well. I am using the same lights as for the violets. They are T8s, one 2 bulb fixture per shelf, on for 12 hrs daily, with one 32watt Sylvania 6500k and one Sylvania 3000k bulb, kept 10'' above the foliage for the pets, but closer to the strpes, b/c of thier height.
Anyone have any suggestions for what is going wrong with my violet plants, while I am rooting leaves just fine and my pets and streps are happy?
You seem to be doing everything correctly with the exception of fertilizing. I grow all my AV's on wicks and use 1/2 the recommended amount of fertilizer. Other than that what are you using for wicking. I use 4 ply acrylic worsted weight yarn. One piece for each standard and split it into 2 plies for minis and semis. You also said nothing about the size and type pots u are using. I keep all my stds in plastic squat pots and repot when the crown of the plant is more than 3x's the size of the pot. I keep all my minis and semis in 3oz. plastic Solo cups. If you are interested I have a couple sheets on the care and rejuvination of AV's that I passed out when I went out to lecture. If you are interested, email me and I will send them to you.
Fred in NJ
Thanks for your reply. I have not used ANY fertilizers on the violets, since they have no roots and all were potted in 2 3/4'' squat pots. Most were standard or semi-minis and I used 2 ply acrylic yarn for wicking the pots and I used one wick per pot. Also, the fertilizer is mixed to reomended strength, but I add that to water in the wicking tary, so it is diluted to about 1/2 strength, when all is said and done. I am beginning to believe either the peat moss available to me is sub par, as is the case with the available potting mixes out now or the violets themselves were looking ''tired'', b/c they were and shipping and repotting, cloudy days, cool days, and disinfectant dunks might have been too much, but that doesn't explain the decline of the couple that I recieved in optimum position.
The peat works fine for my carnivores and is your standard sphagnum peat moss, not sedge peat or peat with additives.
I say it might be suspect, b/c it used to be a bag of Miracle grow potting mix or Farfard mix was light and fluffy, suitable for many houseplants as is and certainly ideal for any plant with additional perlite and vermiculite added. Now it is compacted, black, and most unsuitable for anything. If it is amended and used, it breaks down quickly and contributes to root death....it just isn't the same as it was 10 yrs ago, IMO.
Thanks Again.
Hi there,
Like Fred said, it looks like you're doing pretty much everything right. My guess is that your hunch is right and the potting medium you are using might be the problem. If you are into mixing your own (which I recommend, since you know EXACTLY what's in it!) here is a recipe that I use to mix my own AV soilless mix:
4 qt. Canadian sphagnum peat moss
4 qt. horticultural vermiculite
4 qt. perlite
1/2 cup dried manure
2 tbsp dolomitic lime (non-hydrated), powdered not pelleted
2 tbsp superphosphate (20% P2O5), powdered not pelleted
2 cups horticultural charcoal
This recipe makes approximately 13 quarts. Of course, check the pH of the soil mix and adjust with lime as needed, but I find that this recipe is pretty consistent. Usually I buy both the MiracleGro sphagnum peat moss and MiracleGro perlite that comes in the 8 qt. bags, and the vermiculite and horticultural charcoal I get is made by Hoffman. The superphosphate and dolomitic lime I buy is pelleted and made by Espoma - I use a mortar and pestle to grind them up into powder to make a more even mix.
If you don't want to go through all the effort, I would recommend adding some horticultural charcoal to your existing mix. It can really help loosen it up!
Good luck with your violet ventures and I hope things improve for you!
Christine, I like your mix I did want to add charcoal at first, but was unable to find it in bulk sources. I want you also to be aware that the only perlite I can find by miracle grow IS enriched with Miracle grow fertilizer that contains urea nitrogen. I am not suggesting you not use it, b/c your results must certainly be better than mine, but that is why I am not using it. At any rate, I guess I am doing everything I can and no one has pointed out anything fatally wrong with my methods, so I can wait and hope that future efforts are successful and I have future efforts on the way already!!! lol.....the addiction is strong, in spite of the odds against me at the moment.
I would also like to add a note or two. Me, who can grow violets just fine, but have a lot of trouble with streps and kill nearly every orchid I ever had.
When you get plants thru the mail they have been "well traveled". Box travel is not kind. also the plants are used to growing in different home/greenhouse conditions. I let my plants set a couple weeks to adjust to my home and rest from their travel. Then I repot into my potting mix with some marathon to kill any root mealies or such.
Kept in a different room than my other plants for a month or two until it looks like they are pest free.
If your roots were rotted, they were possibly too wet, too long. It doesn't take long for violets to die from wet roots. Violets like damp soil, not wet soil. Drier is better. More perlite never hurts. I use any av soil at lowes, home depot, walmart and add more perlite and a little more vermiculite to the mix. I used to just add the perlite but I read where several sources said vermiculite holds fertilizers and minerals so I started adding it again. For my PH issues, I add a little baking soda to my water with the diluted fertilizer...but I don't fertilize every time I water, some dry out quickly and other plants not so quickly. But everyone who grows them uses a little different mix, adds different things, like lime, etc. It does sound if your mix is sour, it is not good. Maybe next time you think the plant's soil is too wet, you can set the pot on newspaper or paper towels to draw out excess moisture. If it continues to be too wet, add more perlite to the mix. Remember DAMP, not wet.
Keep trying. I keep trying with streps and orchids. One day I'll get it right. Take care. tish
I am atking everything in and want to add that the first group of violets I repotted had 'rested' for about 2 weeks or maybe 3, before being repotted, but I agree that plants need some time to adapt.
I also am beginning to think that perhaps peat from different regions, harvested at different depths, and of different ages, might have different densitys and hold more less water depending on these factors. I am going to cut my peat to 1/2 part to 1 part each of perlite and vermiculite and see if this helps. The peat is not providing anything, but a place for nutrients and water to be available to the plants roots and of course anchorage. It in an of itself is actually not ideal, it's Ph is too low and it hold a lot of moisture, therfore, one should be able to lower or raise the amount they use with little consequence.
I think, when I repot my streps and pets, I will add some expanded clay granules. This is called turface and is nuetral in Ph and resembles tiny, tan rocks. It is light and small, a good aerator and should help cut the acidity of the mix, buffer the Ph once adjusted, and be similar to the ''gritty'' mix they must grow in amongst the rocks and stream banks in nature. Maybe it will hold promise for the violets as well. It is sold as aquatic plant soil at either lowes or home depot.
I am still trying to find a target Ph for the streps and pets. before repotting. I can only find that they like additional lime, egg shell oyster grit...etc, but no set number to strive for in regards to deal Ph.
I am crossing my fingers that the violets in the rooting tray get roots down and I can steer this cart back onto the right trail. Until the violets are happy, I am scared to repot the pets and streps, as these are more finicky, I think. My first bloom has begun to open on my strep 'rasberry network''....I am in love witht this plant and can't wait to see it!
I will keep everyone posted and enjoy reading your suggestions and comments.
Ah. I just checked the bag and the MiracleGro perlite I have is enriched with MiracleGro plant food. Regardless of that, my plants seem to be doing stellar!
If drainage is a huge issue you might want to pick up some Oyama self-watering planters. They're a bit pricey but they are WONDERFUL! My violets love them.
Good luck!
I was considering them or texas watering in general, but my violet group seemed to be in favor of wicking and these are some long term growers, who have tried all of the methods at one time or another. I am also embracing the idea that each person has to tailor thier mix and watering method, lighting, temps, and so on to thier own habits and most importantly thier plant's needs. I think, when I get some plantlets from my leaves, I will try different things on different plants. I really don't have room for multiples, so I don't feel guilty experimenting on the excess for the sake of finding an ideal growing method for my situation here.
I am glad your violets are doing well, even with the miracle grow in the perlite. It goes to show that sometimes, the less you are aware of the better. Now you don't have to fertilize for a while after you repot:^)
I am pleased to say that the plants that I put down with the leaves have become turgid again and are showing signs of growth. There isn't any doubt that they are on the way to being healthy again. I am also pleased that I have a number of rooted leaves, but it has also been about 3 months since I put them down and I haven't seen a hint of any ''mouse ears''. Would adding a diluted amount of urea free fertilizer with a dropper help matters any?
I am fairly sure that my next repotting effort will be using the hybrid technique of wicking with a layer of perlite in the bottom of the pot as you would for Texas watering. I think that is more fool proof and after reading ''Growing for Show'', I think this makes the most sense for my growing situation.
All of my petrocosmeas and streps continue to do well and one strep is in bloom....my most sought after variety and the only one I really cared if I owned. It is ''Rasberry Network''. I just love its flowers and the fuschia color that is netted over the blossoms.
I enjoy reading all of the post here and appreciate the wisdom that you so freely share. I think I feel more like part of a ''club'' here than at my AV club...lol
Happy Growing
I wouldn't fertilize the leaves. There's a less risky way to "force" them: cut the top third off of the leaf to make sure that it stops growing and will devote all of its energy to producing plantlets.
I'm so glad to hear things are going better for you!!! :D The frustration is almost worth it after seeing everything go right, isn't it? haha
Thank you for your reply. I did cut many of the leaves in half at the time I put them down for rooting. Should I cut them down further?
It is worth it and when I get to see my Gher's witch doctor with a full rosette and in bloom again, and my Lyon's spectacular, I think I will get a bottle of champagne to celebrate....lol I really want to see my Wrangler's gaudy lady with a nice full rosette of foliage too.....I just love the leaves and colors of the foliage on that one. I will just keep being patient and let them come around at thier own pace.

So this spring I want to make Yoopers dandelion wine recipe http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f79/dandelion-wine-21095/
If I switched the sugar for honey would it be wine or mead? How much difference in taste would there be? Would it taste good?
I've never made dandelion wine or mead (of any kind). Any ideas, tips?
I would probably say it would be dandelion mead. I'm in the middle of making my first batch of mead now. I put oranges in the primary and took out for secondary but wouldn't call it orange wine! It sounds like a nice recipe though! Good luck : )
Technically, there is not enough sugar in dandelion to ferment by itself (only traces of nectar), so that's why we're normally using sugar to make a "wine".
Also, practically, a mead is simply a "honey wine".
Heck. If it was me, I'd be creative and call it a "Taraxacum Honey Wine".
*EDIT*: Out of interest, that's the recipe I've (mostly) followed the first time around and It turned out reaalllly good: http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/request180.asp

Righthaven Ordered To Turn Over Hard Drives To Creditors 51

If a judge wants to take something of mine, he'll send a cop to come and take it. Why isn't that happening here? Do the banks wait for a house to be 'turned over' when they forecloses on it?
Actually that's not necessarily true.
If The State has a judgement against you then that is true. But... As someone who has been issued a small settlement in a legal dispute I can say that the courts will issue you a judgement, but it's up to YOU to figure out how to collect it. Now YOU, armed with a court order can certainly show up on their doorstep with the local sheriff and start hauling off stuff. Provided that the company isn't in bankruptcy and there are more than one of you to fight over the spoils, that's what bankruptcy court is all about, to determine who gets what. Sure you get your judgement but it's still up to you to collect it, the courts won't collect it for you. And once a company has gone out of business and has no legal address then you are just plain SOL, you have a judgement against an entity that no longer exists. Unless it's worth it to you to hire a private investigator to try and track down where all the money/property has been hidden. And you can't just show up on the CEO's doorstep either. That's the whole point of forming a corporation, to shield the rich people running them from having THEIR personal assets seized for the corporation's bad business decisions.
Besides, what do you think this Steve person has been doing the last six months anyway? He's been hiding any assets that do remain in offshore banks. Those hard drives have long been wiped in order to destroy any evidence of illegal activity.

Them Zs look kinda like dahlias.....nice !
Two of three of my favorite visitors (BF & HB) We get Swallowtails but not Monarchs. The 3rd of course are bees. We have thousands now with all the sedums and Rose of Sharons but our Japanese pagoda tree has so many that I swear it's going to lift off at any moment. Makes me think of you know who :-)
Jim - Your Mister Lincoln is gorgeous! Love the zinnias, such cheerful flowers and the butterfly and hummingbird too and that is such a beautiful scenic view of the picture taken on top of the small mountain.
Jim, great looking flowers and photography! Love how u captured the butterfly, bee, and humming bird! Thanks for sharing!
Gosh those are gorgeous pics of Mr. Lincoln. Mine has just bombed this year. It's never been too good of a bloomer - but I'm going to follow the advice about cutting back hard after blooming!! Was that your advice?
I've never seen zinnias before. Those are lovely!! I wonder if they would overwinter in zone 3. Probably not - that's why I haven't seen them here in greenhouses.
Looks like you're having a wonderful summer. Thanks for sharing!

... to what we thought was the Swedish customs office located on the highway not accessible to cyclists (we cycled in through a back way-ducking under a boom gate). Darren went into the office and was officially told-" we don't stamp your receipts here-you have to get that done on the Norwegian side!". We didn't understand this at all-as we needed a customs stamp to say that we had left Sweden. We thought we'd probably missed our opportunity as most of these sort of things ...

Norge Weekend
Hey Everybody!
Greetings from the land of trolls! Hope you all had a spectacular weekend!
Alright, so first off, I should probably apologize for my update tardiness. I know I said I would tell you about my weekend Sunday night at the latest, but after hours of homework, it just wasn't in me to stay up and update the blog. I was tired, and believe me, it would have been a disappointment. So that out of the way, here's a recount of my weekend:

Roughly a month after announcing plans to seek authority to consolidate agencies, President Barack Obama has now sent Congress the Consolidating and Reforming Government Act of 2012, which would reinstate the power to reorganize the federal government.
The proposal includes a new requirement that any reorganization plan must save money or decrease the size of government, according to a White House statement. The act also would provide Congress a process to quickly hold an up-or-down vote on reorganization plans.
"This authority is essential to creating a 21st-century government that is fiscally responsible, works ever more efficiently and effectively for the American people, and helps make America more competitive," Jeffrey Zients, deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in a Feb. 16 letter accompanying the act addressed to House Speaker John Boehner.
Obama announced in January that if granted the authority to reorganize government – which previous presidents have held -- he would merge six business and trade agencies and several other related programs into one entity. The consolidation would save $3 billion over 10 years and cut 1,000 jobs, according to the administration.
Zients also told reporters in January that once Obama has the consolidation authority, there will be other proposals that address fragmentation within the government and further initiatives to save money and boost efficiency.

We could start with firing each and every "Czar". Then move on to every new agency in the last 40 years; DHS, Dept. of Education, Interior, EPA, etc., etc. Drop their funding to ZERO! Then, if it were me, I'd do one complete year of zero-based budgeting. Drop EVERYONE's budget to zero and then tell them to justify---IAW the CONSTITUTION---exactly WHY they should exist in the first place. My other plan to save money is to IMMEDIATELY stop paying ANY elected official a retirement. They're elected to SERVE; NOT be given a free ride for the rest of their lives after a few years of "service". There are far too many other options like normal everyday Americans have like 401Ks, Soc. Sec., etc. That would be sort of "self-term-limiting" plus save millions.
Cut cut cut, please. Doesn't really matter who does it or how they do it. My great grand children can't afford this level of spending.
So, does this also mean that all of those useless new departments he created will be consolidated as well? C'mon...that'll be the day that the government loses 1000 jobs and those jobs don't get shifted around somewhere else in government.
Agree 200% with not giving this President more power. We should be going the other way. He's a Chicago thug. He wants to "own" every government give-away program and every potential voter out there so he can demand your loyalty---and vote---or he'll crush you. He is the living embodiment of the saying: "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely"!
Obama's plan to streamline things would be believable if it weren't for all the "Czars" he created. He's just not telling the truth.

Is anyone growing AV's under CFL's?
I was just wondering if they work the same way as the tubes, better or worse? I am trying to figure out how to set up my shelves for growing AV's indoors, and was reading on the University of Florida site. They said you could even grow them under LED's, but I don't know anything about that.
I was thinking that if I could use CFL's, I have a couple of old goose-neck lamps I could just stick up there on the top shelf until I can get a "for real" grow light setup.
The best of light/$ ratio is 48" fluorescent tubes. If you get a shoplight with 2 T8 - you will be using 64Wt/hour and you can grow 16 large plants under them or 20 standards or 60 minis or about. Under your goose neck - you can grow 1 (one) plant. If you can find large enough horizontal surface you can dedicate for plants - hang the shoplight above them - and enjoy. the tubes give even light distribution - multiple goose neck lamps - do not.
LED - will be expensive to buy.
For real grow light setup is usually made out of "metro" shelving and 3 shoplights. Buying a specialized grow cart for avs will set you back for 900 buckazoids - instead of 120.
The difference can be used for a nice trip to the AV Convention in Detroit next year.
I use CFL's to supplement light coming through windows.
Most of the windows have a south-east exposure.
The CFL's have worked well for me to keep my plants healthy and in bloom. I've got about 50 plants, ... and I use maybe (10) household lamp fixtures for the CFL's.
I've used shop light fixtures before. I like the decor and the flexibility of the CFL's better so far.
I think there is some confusion as to what "compact fluorescents" are... they come in many shapes and sizes, both the "twists" like you have at home AND they can come in tubes as well. Irina is right that long tubes are the most economical. People do use the twist compact fluorescents, it's just they're more expensive long term because the ballast (power supply for the tube) is built into the base, so you have to buy the ballast when the tube burns out. Where as with the long tubes you replace just the tubes and keep the ballast forever... Plus like Irina said, you can fit more in a 4' long tube :)
Compact fluorescents as a technology are very similar to tubes, basically they're folded back on themselves, so instead of having the pins at 2 ends, they are both at the same end... As a general rule of thumb, the smaller the diameter of the tube, the more efficient it is. We have the standard T12 tubes which are 12 x .25" around or 3"(circumference), then T8 bulbs are 8 x .25" around or 2" lastly T5 bulbs and Compact fluorescents are typically 1.25" around. T12s being the cheapest, T8 almost the same price (and the standard these days), and T5s and Compact fluorescents being the brightest and most expensive.
Hope this helps. Here is an example of the Tube form of Compact fluorescents:

For senior Jeremy Thompson, balancing life as head of one of the University of Mary Washington's largest student organizations with the demands of a double major comes naturally. A history and political science major, Thompson is known across campus, not only as president of the Student Government Association (SGA), but as a Washington Guide, stage production manager for Dodd Auditorium and a mentor to first-year students through the RISE Peer Mentoring Program. "It's an honor," Thompson said of his SGA position. "We deal with so many issues on a daily basis. Our goal is to make student life better. At the end of the day, it's a pretty nice thing to be able to tell the President and the Board [of Visitors], 'this is what the students want or don't want.'" To make sure he knows the pulse of student life, Thompson holds office hours each week to hear student concerns and feedback. Every month, he has lunch with President Richard V.

the Inn's located nearby to all that Gettysburg has to offer. Near restaurants, shops and all the historical places are near. The rooms are spotless, the beds comfortable and the people are helpful and very friendly. Brian's creations for breakfast were unique and tasty. I plan on staying here the next time I visit.

I have stayed at this inn many times on my visits to Gettysburg and have never been disappointed. I try to stay in different rooms each time as to get a historical perspective of the town of Gettysburg. I love it there. The owners, the staff, and the location is superb. The breakfast is out of this world. Always something to entice you to enjoy. The location is downtown close to shopping and dining. I will stay there again. Enjoy!

We were greeted warmly at the door by Brian as we arrived at the Brafferton for our 2 night stay. He offered us a little tour of the establishment and some info about the town in general as we checked in. We stayed in the Loft Suite which was spacious and full of character! Breakfast was fantastic!!! Especially the muffins! The location is perfect if you want to walk out the front door and be in the midst of town. I would definitely recommend this B&B!

The Brafferton Inn is charming, beautiful, welcoming and ideally located. No less so is the Old Orchard Guest House, an extension of the traditional B&B that is just a few blocks away (closer to the battlefields and Dobbin House restaurant and Victorian Photography Studio, both Gettysburg MUSTS). OOGH offers three bedrooms, two living rooms, 1.5 baths, a well-appointed kitchen, laundry AND a beautiful backyard with covered patio for about the same price as a premium B&B room. Perfect for a family weekend (or longer) stay. We visited on a record cold Valentine's Day and the thoughtful owners made sure the house was warmed up before our arrival and that the snow from a surprise Saturday night storm was vanished before we awoke on Sunday. How's that for service? Cooking is something we love to do together and we had everything we needed to do that, but there are great restaurants within easy walking distance, too. The Old Orchard Guest House sounds too good to be true, but it right there, waiting for you to visit -- and us to come back. No traditional B&B breakfast at the house, but it mattered not to us. The website requires a rating for "dining" and with the kitchen plus restaurants, I don't think it's exaggeration to say "outstanding."

Our stay was wonderful and we could not have asked for a more beautiful suite!!! My husband and I stayed at the Brafferton Inn for our anniversary and we will definitely go back! The suite was beautiful and breakfast was fantastic. The innkeepers are very nice and welcoming and they really made our stay comfortable. I definitely recommend this B&B!

Animal life has adapted to survive in the most unlikely and inhospitable habitats. This unit looks at the surprisingly diverse desert climates throughout the world and mammals, birds, lizards and amphibians that survive there. It splits these animals into three groups according to their strategy for survival: evaders, evaporators and endurers, then discusses how these strategies work on a biochemical and physiological level.
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- define and use, or recognise definitions and applications of, each of the bold terms;
- provide examples that show there is a continuum of desert climates and environments that link to diversity of flora and fauna;
- explain, with examples, the thermoregulatory strategies of evaders, evaporators and endurers, and interpret relevant data;
- describe the importance of integration of behaviour, anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in the study of animals that live in deserts;
- explain physiological mechanisms of water conservation and cooling in named evaders, evaporators and endurers, and interpret relevant data;
- recognise potential ambiguity and uncertainty in attributing observed physiological or biochemical features and responses to high T
a and aridity to genotypic adaptation, phenotypic plasticity or acclimatisation;
- explain how the role of heat-shock proteins (Hsps) in cellular responses to temperature extremes links to the molecular mechanism for control of transcription of Hsp genes and interpret blots that track Hsp transcription;
- explain the use of integration across related species in designing and interpreting experiments to investigate whether features such as basal metabolic rate (BMR) and reduced total evaporative water loss (TEWL) in desert species are adaptive, or are derived from phylogenetic constraints or phenotypic flexibility.

Animals at the extremes: The desert environment
This unit is the first in a series of three on Animals at the extreme. It is concerned with the integration of behaviour anatomy, physiology and biochemistry in diverse vertebrates that live in deserts. Once you have completed this unit, you will be all the more able to appreciate the linked units that follow, Animals at the extreme: hibernation and torpor and Animals at the extreme: the polar environment. These units build on and develop some of the science you will study here.
This unit is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Animal physiology (S324) which is no longer taught by The Open University. If you want to study formally with us, you may wish to explore other courses we offer in this subject area [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] .

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
