I am pretty pissed. I used my new mini mash tun tonight for the first time, and the efficiency was about as low as it could of possibly been. However, I really think I know why. The biggest reason is that the grains which I got from a LHBS that I found today were barley crushed (this is my fault for still using them, when I had them in question) the second reason I believe is that I let the water run through the grains too fast. I let the valve stay wide open the whole time, and ran 2 gals of water through it in less then 10 mins. Im glad I had some extra DME to fix the OG, but I guess I learned another lesson tonight. From now on my grain is going to come from The Grap & Grainery where I have been getting it all along, and I will slow my process down. Feel a little better now that I vented.
I know how you feel, We have all done it at one time or another. I just found out the other day it works better if I pour all of my strike water in my igloo and then let the temp settle then add my grain slowly mashing it in I am able to keep a more constant temp. Before I was just pouring in my water then the grain right away. It was tough for me to get a constant temp throught my mash even though I was stirring it well. Then I sampled my brew for a gravity reading and got a 1.045, I was pissed cause I wanted at least a 1.050 or 1.060. Then it just came too me that I had sampled six gallons instead of 5. So I just laughed at myself and had another stout.
The cooler I use (a rubbermaid) worked fantastic. It held 155 for 1 hr. I added grains and then added water @ 170*. That part worked like a charm. When I sparge I think I may just close the valve next time and let the grains sit for a few minutes before letting them drain much slower. Like I said I will also never use this grain source again. Oh well, at least I had the DME on hand to bring the OG up so I think the beer will still be fine, and I guess when you get right down to it, as long as the beer is good all else can be fixed!
Taste everything!
After I put the wort on to boil, I dump my grains on the heap, and I sanple some. I figure I would crunch on sweet, un-converted, un dissolved grains, but all I ever get is bitter hulls. I guess I have a good grind, mash, sparge.
So far, I've had more experience thinking than I've had brewing....you don't think they are mutually exclusive, do you?
72 batches so far,
48 wine, mostly Loquat, peach, plum, prickly pear
23 beers and ciders
1 sauerkraut
1 Tequila, from a prickly pear wine experiment that didn't work. I call it "Prickly Heat"
I have found that the crush of the grains is one of the biggest factors in efficiency. My LHBS does not crush the grains very well compared to some of the online stores. I always get better efficiency with grains from NB or Austin. It kind of makes me want to get a mill myself.
I would recommend that you add the water to the tun first then add the grains to it. Dry grains against your false bottom or strainer can cause it to clog. It is also harder to effectively mix the grains.
I'm assuming you are batch sparging in which case you can let the wort drain quickly after you add your first round of sparge liquor, stir, let the grain bed set for a few minutes, and then vourlof. The only problem I have encountered is draining the wort so fast that it compacts the grain bed. This can cause a stuck sparge.
It sounds to me like you did a pretty good job. Here's to your first mini mash brew. I hope it turns out great!
I think the only bad crushed grain is a non-crushed grain. If it is cracked or powdered, you should still get the sugars out. You should check pH and Temps, these are probably bigger factors than crack. Oh, except that fast sparge.
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!
johnnyk are you in the cleveland/akron area? where did you buy your grains from and did they crush them for you, or did you crush them yourself?

How to tell if my Geranium is dead?
Hi all! I really hope you can help - I am desperate!
Here is a photo of what I'm dealing with:
NOTE: this is dead ringer for my plant - except mine has no mulch and is in a 12" plastic pot. You would never believe was a SUPER healthy giant-sized geranium/pelargonium only 2 months ago!
I bought this *gorgeous* pink hanging geranium from a supermarket 1.5 years ago (label just said "geranium" - sorry not sure if this is exactly correct)...it did GREAT hanging outside on porch in NW Indiana over the summer, it did GREAT with moving to a hot sunny loft in Chicago where it spent 10 months hanging near the heater and in front of sunny window, a few months after that it did GREAT moving with me to L.A. where it sat on a hot sunny deck all this past summer. Now it is Fall and we moved back to NW Indiana (South Bend, IN to be specific).
Starting October 1, Miss Geranium had to leave her sunny hot deck in L.A. and sit in a moving truck for a week - sit in storage unit another week (all in darkness) - then came out and we put her near a sunny window and began OVERWATERING her to make up for our "abuse". I know - that was dumb now.
In Oct, she seemed weak but ok. But come November she began looking VERY spindly, all her leaves began falling off, it was NOT pretty. Now it is VERY VERY DARK here in Indiana in November, compared to being outside in L.A. all summer - would this why she changed like this? Is it just a very bad reaction to this huge change and lack of hot sunshine?
Couple weeks ago, I read that sitting her on a pebble tray with water would help her condition by "adding needed humidity" - so I did that and she got worse (yes, I shoulda come to this forum first!!).
Yesterday, sitting on her pebble tray and looking quite pathetic, she had 3 spindly sick looking leaves left...I removed those very sadly along with some dead looking branches. I have finally learned to stop watering her (as of just last week). I drained all excess water out, no more pebble tray, moved her next to my giant Jade plant in a sunny window (or what passes for a "sunny window" here in very dark & wintry Indiana!)- and will only water her monthly like I do the Jade.
The soil is still REALLY moist tho (typical potting soil) - and is NOT succulent type soil at all. Should I repot with sand?? With succulent soil? Shouldnt she be kept dry like succulents?
Heres the REALLY bad news: some tiny black flying insects seem to be coming out of her pot! This started last week or so I think. They look like tiny black sewer flies. I've only seen a couple but I'm really scared that this may be "the end" for this beautiful plant.
Have I killed her? Is she dead? Is she rotting & in need of proper burial? Or is there still a CHANCE now that I've moved her to a sunny window and stopped watering the heck out of her? Some say that after doing this, they got back their geraniums within a few months.
Please give me hope! I moved this plant SO far and she has been SO great - I'd really love for her to make it SO much! Many thanks guys!!
Kelly, with all what you did to the plant, I would not doubt the plant has suffered. But, strange things happen..and plants can adapt to hardship.....and without going into too much detail about how you cared for the plant, you might nick the stem...or a branch and see if there is any sign of moisture remaining.
Now....let's assume there is something there....and you are right, the light levels of Indiana and most of the United States, is at their lowest. The winter solstace begins on Wednesday...the 21st....and then the sun begins its long voyage back til June 21st
If you have a coldcellar, or a place in your basement...or an old unused refrigerator that you can set the temperature to about 40 - 50 degrees....then your plant can be looked on as one that wqill come back to how you saw it a couple months ago.
If you have such a place where your plant can go...and remain...untouched by human hands, your plant WILL COME BACK.
But, you must not water it, you must not give it any light, you must not give it any increased temperatures.
The plant will dry out.....completely. You might think to sprinkle it....DONT....the coming back can only be done if you leave the plant alone...in the coolness and in the dark.
Round about mid February to mid March, you then bring the plant back out into the light, clean it up, tear the roots apart, cut it back (yours wont need much if any), into a clean pot (clay is nice), with some fresh potting soil....
(have something in the pot to keep the soil up away from the drainage hole...shards, or stones ...whatever...
make a hole in the soil, put your plant in, firm it up...and water. Water it til drainage is seen in the saucer below. Allow full drainage. Then take it to the best sun you have....but north will not do...and do not water again until new leaves form.
When the leaves begin to show, you can begin to feed your plant...1/4 rate 20/20/20...every 3rd or 4th watering.
When you water, always water until drainage is seen...and dump the excess. Never leave your plant sitting in that drainage water.
As the leaves come on, you can increase fertilizer.
Depending on the amount of available light, the plant will begin to produce flower buds....and you should not be alarmed if they are slow in coming.....even to the day you put it outside. Bloom will come.
That's all there is to it....but it depends on you not pushing it to do something until mid February.
The other way is to treat your plant like a houseplant...pot it up...(make sure it drains well), water til it drains and give it the best sun...west or south.
No other exposure will do....not at this time of year.
Wait until new leaves form before watering again...and feed as above. This method can work for a plant in good health...yours may not have sufficient energy to do anything....and I suggest you seriously consider doing the "dry" method. It is safe, and it works.
Thanks SO much DianeKaryl! And everyone!!
When I nick it I do see some light green-tannish color inside and moisture. I do have a storage room which is near the heater. It is outdoors but never totally freezes (probably is 40's to 30's in there most winter long) due to being located right next to the house furnace. Woudl this do as a place to "overwinter" it? This is sometimes called the "paperbag method" correct?
Yes now it is in West window indoors but doing absolutely nothing. I've been watering it right along but apparently I should not do that anymore so will stop.
Should I REMOVE the soil from roots before placing it in the bag (bare roots only)? Or shoudl I just take the plant, soil, plastic container and all, and put a bag round the whole thing and store it?
Your idea makes a ton of sense and is so much better than losing a gorgeous plant like this to my own neglect. I do really appreciate your help!!
Thanks again,
Kelly (aka Brown Thumb)
Kelly, no need to remove the soil at this time, that can be done in February or March when you decide to do the task of bringing the plant back after its winter sleep.
The bag method is a safe way of storage if you can ensure the plant never is touched by temperatures that could cause it harm. The bag must remain OPEN...to circulate air.
The inside wall of your storage room sounds like it just might do...the plant must not freeze. So to that, consider putting the bag into a large box and surrounding the bag with ...the name of the material escapes me...its bubble wrap...the stuff that surrounds electronic equipment when you purchase it...its light but does not attract heat or cold. This you can insulate the box with. Pour it in and surround the plant and cover it...put some even into the bag with the plant....but leave the bag open. Then a further wrap of packing material or burlap can be further added.
This should be enough...but if you still feel you wish to bring the temperature up from .....say the low 30's...you can put a light bulb...a bare light bulb above the box...close enough to give to the box some heat...but not too close. Incandescent light bulbs do get hot...you know that when you try to remove a bulb from the socket with your fingers....burny, burny.
But the light may just add a little to make the difference.
The light might used only when conditions warrant or possibly just during nighttime hours.
It does seem to be a lot of bother for a plant that maybe you could replace for a couple of bucks...I know that....but, like you, I have many geranium plants that I would not want to see harmed...and I go to extremes myself to keep them safe. Let's hope yours can be protected too.
As a matter of fact, I have suggested my approach to wintering over geranium to a friend who lives in southern Indiana...French Lick is the name of the town...and she suggested she will try it. She's always just bought new plants in the spring. We just sent out a Christmas card to her...85 cents to mail to U.S. We pay 50 cents within Canada...the number of cards does seem to dwindle each year the post office tries to make a profit at our expense.
Oh well...
Have a nice safe Christmas and a prosperous
New Year.
I know it's an awfully old thread but...
I have a geranium that is important to me. It used to be very spindly so I cut it back. The piece I cut off I tried to root with no luck. Now the remaining little plant's leaves which were just at the ends of 2 short stems have dried and shriveled and it might be too late. It's September in Ny just south of Lake Ontario. Is there anything I can do? Is it the right time of year to attempt the above post? I've attached a photo.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Sorry, but that plant looks very dead :-(
I'm not sure I can tell you why just from that photo, but geraniums (pelargoniums) are very low care plants. Perhaps you just babied a bit too much? It also looks like it is indoors. While these types of geraniums can be overwintered indoors like any other houseplant, they would prefer to be outside during the growing season/summer months. They are also extremely easy to strike from cuttings.
What kind of potting soil are you using and how did you care for the plant? More detailed information might provide more insight.
The potting soil is miracle grow. It's been a couple weeks since it's been watered and a few months since repotting. It never seemed to take off after getting a new home. The soil is not moist. I'm a little concerned about watering at this point due to not having any real green leaves. Could it have just died of thirst? This plant is over 5 years old and has spent most of its life indoors.
Update here from my the OP - that original plant didn't make it but I DID discover the 'magic formula' for the common geranium that I've had for a few years ow, at least I think so. Hope this helps someone.
Remembering that I saw TONS of Geraniums blooming madly on outdoor balconie and stairs across Italy one summer reminds me they want: ITALIAN STYLE HEAT, ITALIAN STYLE SUNSHINE (real or faux!), a bit of balmy BREEZE, and let the rain take care of the rest - with only a bit of 'topping up' watering by me as needed.
Following your advice, we basically treat them now like our orchids....lots of bright direct sun from the south facing windows, never water unless they are BONE dry, a humidifer, fan and big CFL lights shining on them during the dark months of Nov-Mar. Then all summer, the orchids and geranium enjoy sitting on the front and back porches "drinking in" the sunshine and putting out crazy amounts of healthy leaves, big new branches, and beautiful blooms. This has helped me hugely in keeping Miss Geranium II alive this time aorund - I hope she'll have a long and happy live thanks to you all!
MiracleGro is about the worst potting soil you can use - doesn't drain well and far too moisture retentive. I really wouldn't be worried about watering now......unfortunately, I think your geranium is well beyond any watering help at this stage of the game :-(
I'm not really sure how living all of its life indoors affected the plant but it may have had an influence. Anything other than tropical plants need some periods of rest or dormancy to kind of recharge their batteries for another growing season. And that dormancy period generally coincides with cold weather or winter in the northern hemisphere. Keeping it indoors year round deprives the plant of that dormant period and this can have the effect of weakening the plant over time. Keep this up long enough and the plant will decline and eventually die. This is why even bonsai growers move their stock outdoors during the summer months - it is enough of a temperature swing from the uniformity of indoor temps to create at least a pseudo-dormancy.
FWIW, these are very inexpensive plants and easily replaced annually. In fact, they are almost always sold as seasonal color because wintering them over is almost more trouble than its worth to just repurchase as needed. Unless you are a plant geek or working on a very tight budget. Even then, they sell seed geranium starts in spring for less than a dollar!!
geranium is one of the plants that, while an annual, it can come back --as good as...or maybe better than, it once was.
With a healthy plant that can be put at a window that gives southern sun and treated as a houseplant and will serve very nicely.
Where the question of whether the plant is viable I think the best approach is to think spring......
put the what's left of it...into a cool basement where it can be put on a shelf...and LEFT ALONE....NO WATER....NO LIGHT...NO FOOD....just left alone......where temperatures are above 40 F....it should never be allowed to freeze.
then round about the ides of February or March...it is brought out, cut back to good tissue...about 4" high...given a clean pot with fresh potting soil--NOT GARDEN SOIL---put something between the drainage holes and the soil---so it drains well, place in a sunny window and turned every other day. It should, within a couple weeks, begin to form new leaves. Keep the soil on the damp side...never wet.
Its important to not let it be hit by air currents that change the temperatures too quickly.
Do not feed it...until it begins to grow...and then only as it requires it.
It will, within a month...six weeks, put on enough foliage to ensure its survival.
When its warm enough put it outside in the sunshine during daylight hours....back indoors at night....and repeat this until it has been acclimated to outside temperatures when it can go out....and stay out.

raised bed over a brick patio
I have a large brick patio that is never used and I wanted to make a raised veggie garden on it(for next year. The spot sits in the sun all day and can be hooked into the sprinkler system with ease. I have two questions: Does this sound like a good idea? And if so, and how deep should I make the beds?
I have a friend that has her raised beds on concrete. I thought it would burn them but they are just thriving! I am pretty sure they put a plywood bottom on it (with holes for drainage). I think that is a wonderful idea. I am toying with the idea of making one on my drive way since it is the last place I have that is level and not shaded. But not sure if I can find a spot that isnt in the path to the garage and in full sun.
I would suggest a landscape fabric barrier under your beds if you have weeds or grass growing between the bricks. You don't need a plywood bottom, though it'll work if you want it.
As for depth, it is the same question asked here countless times. You'll get the same answers. 6 inches is fine, but root crops oe deep rooted plants may benefit from more (can build that section up temporaily). To build higher costs more but most that do it are happy. I am one of those, but my brother swears by 6 inch beds.
Do whatever fits your needs and budget. Good luck and enjoy.
What are you planning on planting? Lettuce, most greens, bunching onions, most herbs will be ok with 6". Beans or cukes maybe ok with 6" but would be better with 8" or more. I don't think summer squash would grow well in less than 8" depth and better with deeper.
If you are planning on tomatoes, you need alot deepper, you may want to look into self watering containers instead. You may want to take a look over at the container gardening forum, there is a lot of info on how deep containers should be for different plants.
Good gardening, Mary
I'm thinking about doing this as well (next year). We have a large concrete patio that could be taken advantage of. Some random thoughts I've had on the topic:
1) Carefully consider the height of the beds. It would seem natural to build them about waist high. That would make planting very comfortable, but what happens when the veggies grow an additional 3-4 feet above that? You wouldn't want to have to knock tomatoes off the vines like coconuts.
2) I'm not crazy about using plywood with drainage holes as a base. That could turn into a soggy, warped, rotten mess pretty quickly. My planters are raised, if only by about two inches in an effort to level them. The bottoms are made of a layer of weed barrier and then a layer of 1/2" hardware cloth. It would sag in the middle if not supported, but that might be able to be prevented by putting some cross braces underneath. Drainage is great, and the weed barrier keeps the precious Mel's Mix where it belongs.
3) Instead of letting the planter drain onto the patio (messy), how about putting another thin layer underneath, this time some sort of plastic or metal sheeting (or even thin, _sealed_ plywood). Let gravity form it into a gentle funnel shape, with a single hole in the lowest point. That drains straight down into a watering can for reuse (and less mess).
4) Use lockable casters on the planters. Location too sunny or not sunny enough? Too windy or rainy? Just roll them somewhere more suitable. Plague of locusts appears over the horizon? Roll them into the garage. ;-)
I'm as good an artist as I am a gardener, so don't laugh too hard. But I'm thinking of something along these lines:
Are the bricks mortared in place, or merely laid next to each other?
If the latter, I would suggest the following:
1) Carefully break down the patio.
2) Lay down cardboard or newspaper to provide a weed block on the bottom of your bed.
3) Reuse the bricks to form the raised bed (6 inches is all that is required now for certain!). This MAY not provide all the bricks you need, but it will certainly give you a good headstart. (You should only need 3 maybe 4 courses of brick. btw, place the bricks double wide, with an alternating pattern...you can mortar them, or just dry stack them. A dry stack will definitely improve drainage, if your ground ever gets oversaturated.)
4) Fill with mix.
You will have created a very nice looking raised bed, which should last a lifetime (you may need to rebuild the brick wall after several years or so). In addition, you can grow ANYTHING in that bed, depth will NOT be an issue. The first year, the roots would need to work a little harder to break through the cardboard/newspaper, but the second year, they are gone! If you have a good base soil, there will be trace elements available to your plants that MAY not be in your mix. The plants would then have access to them, regardless of the mix you add. BTW, I recommend fertilizing even if you continue to add compost every year. Continue to have your soil tested, or just add a balanced (organic or not, is up to you) fertilizer, that includes trace minerals like calcium, etc. (Garden's Alive! has some very nice products that are completely organic.)
Well, that's what I would do, if I were you! But, its your yard, and your decision. This way would certainly keep costs down, recycle and give your plants access to a much deeper supply of water and nutrients!
I'm glad you like the idea. I did this with the front beds of my house. It took about 4 hours to put the bricks in place (I only did 2 courses), since I wasn't concerned with the depth of the bed, but just making it look "neat".
The bricks have been disrupted often (because my son likes to look for "buggies" under them), but I can put them back in place very easily! It's been three years and the ones that haven't been touched yet by my son, haven't needed to be adjusted at all!
Here's my raised bed over concrete.
The sides were made from recycled floor joists and sits approximately waist high. 2 years now and now problems with rotting yet. There are no real drainage holes on the bottom. Because the ground is a little slanted, water can seep out of the cracks between the boards and the concrete. Anyway, I think you'll be fine making one on your patio.
I like eaglesgarden's idea, wish I had thought of that. I think that would solve all your problems and give you great looking garden beds. If you wanted more depth than the bricks alone give, you could use cinder blocks and top them with the bricks. It sounds like you have exciting project ahead of you, have fun.
Good gardening, Mary

Panthers have plenty of options with No. 1 pick
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The NHL may as well put out a casting call for a movie set in Philadelphia.
The league sent its top draft prospects to all the tourist areas for photos and interviews, from the Rocky statue, to the baseball stadium, and, yes, the obligatory cheesesteak stand.
But much like the fictional fighter who conquered the odds, only one standout can stand tall as the No. 1 overall pick.
And with the first pick of the 2014 draft, the Florida Panthers select ...
Well, unlike some of the recent drafts, this one remained a mystery heading into Friday night's draft at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center.
There is no consensus No. 1 pick and the Panthers have plenty of options to help try and turn the franchise into a consistent playoff team.
Panthers general manager Dale Tallon, however, hasn't been shy about his willingness to trade the No. 1 pick for the right price. Florida has been stockpiling prospects since Tallon became general manager in May 2010, and the GM wants his young team to grow together.
The top candidates for No. 1 include: Kingston Frontenacs center Samuel Bennett, Barrie Colts defenseman Aaron Ekblad, Kootenay Ice center Sam Reinhart and Prince Albert Raiders center Leon Draisaitl.
Ekblad, Bennett, Reinhart, Draisaitl, Oshawa left wing Michael Dal Colle, and Sarnia defenseman Michael DeAngelo all were invited to tour Philadelphia this week and check out the sights. They'd all rather check out a No. 1 jersey with a name on the back Friday night.
If the Panthers don't trade the pick, Ekblad just might be the one.
The Sabres have the second pick, and Edmonton; Calgary; N.Y. Islanders; Vancouver; Carolina; Toronto; Winnipeg; and Anaheim complete the top 10.
"I believe that Ekblad is going to go 1," Sabres general manager Tim Murray said. "Then we pick who we have left, the next guy on our list. If he doesn't go 1, I'd be surprised, I guess. And I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
Here are five things to know about the NHL draft:
TRADE TIME: Never heard of any of the prospects expected to get drafted? No problem. The big names on the market are more than enough to interest NHL fans heading into the draft. Philadelphia's Vincent Lecavalier, San Jose's Joe Thornton, Pittsburgh's James Neal, Vancouver's Ryan Kesler, and Ottawa's Jason Spezza are all up for grabs this summer, and what better way to make a splash on draft weekend than with a huge deal. All have some sort of issues, from age to big contracts, but there's always a team willing to make the one move it feels can put them into the thick of Stanley Cup contention.
YO, PHILLY!: The Flyers haven't celebrated a Stanley Cup championship since 1975, but the orange-and-black faithful always make themselves heard. The Wells Fargo Center was expected to be packed this weekend for the draft, yet another highlight for the hockey-mad city. Philadelphia has been the site of the Stanley Cup finals, a Winter Classic and a Frozen Four, all since 2010. The Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation provides free skating programs, ice hockey instruction, equipment and academic services to inner-city children. "With the hockey enthusiasm here, and the ability to hold major events in Philadelphia, we thought it was a natural fit," Commissioner Gary Bettman said. "We know that the city can host big events."

Known by names such as prefab wiring, prebuilt wiring and modular wiring, manufactured wiring systems (MWSs) have been in existence for about 25 years.

Companies that understand how to collaborate effectively and how to share the right information at the right time are better positioned to reach their objectives. Electrical contractors need to take a fresh look at how they support collaboration and not only implement the tools, but move beyond them to address the role corporate culture plays in promoting or sabotaging the process.

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that Marek Malik will be scratched tonight against the Canes and both Petr Prucha and Chris Drury were hit by shots in practice...
"No. 8 practiced, but is scratched tonight. 'Just hasn't been on the ice enough,' said coach Tom Renney. That makes five scratches in nine games. Didn't see the defenseman in the locker room...
...Petr Prucha took a shot off the right knee and his left shoulder was wrapped in the locker room. Drury was felled by a shot as well, but kept practicing; he was getting treatment..."
...maybe Zipay just didn't see Malik in the lockeroom, but he needs to be there kissing everyone's ass begging for their forgiveness for his handshaking incident with Renney.
...hey Renney can we tell our guys not to dive in front of shots during practice please. Save it for the game fellas.

Malik Out; Prucha & Drury Receive Treatment
Posted by Kevin DeLury at 1:40 PM

Malik is easy to see on the ice. He's the very tall, very soft, very slow defenseman. Who also pinches like he has the skill and speed of Brian Leetch, thus he gets trapped in the offensive zone while Jagr(how do you spell Selke) has to come back and play defense.
Maybe malik can become an actor. He's gotta be better than George Mureson. Who by the way didn't play another NBA game after getting hurt on the set of "My Giant"

No. If for no other reason that you don't have enough Calcium which has many important mash functions. Add enough Calcium salt(s) to the mash to get the Ca+ up to 50-75ppm.

What Abusers and "Pro-Family" Conservatives Have in Common
Birth control sabotage is a common form of partner abuse. In a report released by the National Domestic Violence Hotline, 25 percent of women callers to the hot line, who voluntarily answered questions about birth control and pressure to get pregnant in their relationships, reported some form of reproductive coercion.
The callers said their partners hid birth control pills or flushed them down the toilet. Some refused to wear condoms or poked holes in them. One woman's partner became furious when she got her period. Read the rest of this entry

My Mom v. Stanford
My mother, Colleen Crangle, was the first woman to take a sex discrimination case to trial against Stanford University.
In 1995, after receiving a Ph.D. at Stanford in Logic and The Philosophy of Science and Language she joined the university's academic staff and was soon recruited to a bioinformatics research group. The American Medical Informatics Association presented her with a prestigious award, and an article in The Biochemist recognized that she had quickly established a reputation for excellence.

Relationship Terms That Dehumanize Women
Meanwhile, we do a very good job of dismissing relationships as unimportant in American culture, even though most guys value them very much. These expressions below need to go the way of the dodo.

Pro-Life! But Don't Care If You Die.
"Pro-lifers" are poised to create 9,800 unnecessary deaths per year.
That's what will happen if Supreme Court Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito — the rightist of the right — cobble together a ruling against the Affordable Care Act, aka, Obamacare.
Meanwhile, "pro-life" Congress members have voted against the Affordable Care Act at least 54 times. If they ever got their way, that's 9,800 more deaths a year.
And since so many "pro-life" governors have rejected parts of Obamacare, people are already dying.

Who Wears the Pants?
Pants symbolize power — partly because men wore them long before women dared try them on, and men have historically held power.
But pants empower in practical ways, too. Like allowing much more freedom to move.
Once upon a time, women wore heavy skirts and petticoats that were bogged down with wire machinery. So stair climbing required care to prevent tripping over skirts. Even sitting could be tricky, lest a hoop skirt rise and reveal all.
Big skirts meant horses were mounted "side saddle," allowing women to exert only "gentle control."
Meanwhile, running and biking were difficult, which limited a woman's power and independence, as well. Read the rest of this entry

Cross-Dressing's Erotic Side
Being a transvestite is a complex cocktail of motivations. It's different for everyone, but there's often a strong sexual component to cross-dressing, although trannies sometimes find it hard to admit this. I feel it's like the elephant in the room. I feel it's really there, but nobody's talking about it.
Maybe it's this erotic dimension which is the hardest part for others to accept.
That's what artist and cross-dresser, Grayson Perry thinks.

Is there a system to give you the tools to earn while recruiting?
MLM Recruiting Is there a system to give you the tools to earn while recruiting? I have found a few systems that seem to give you the tools to recruit, learn and grow your network marketing business while making money in the meantime. Network marketers all know how hard it is to get started and these tools will help cover your expenses initially. If you want a free system, you will get good results and information from Mike Dillards Magnetic sponsoring system. You can get access to his site for free, however, you will need to purchase Mike's book for $39 to use links to earn affiliate commissions through your links. The book is worth the small investment and ability to earn commissions. For more information and free videos check out http://mholt1234.informationblueprint.com/ Another system I have found to be valuable is MLSP - a training and recruiting website with built in affiliate links (free) to give you earnings while growing your business. You can test drive the website for 2 weeks for $10, which is worth the investment and training provided regarding network marketing. For more info on that one check out http://www.SevenFigureMastermindTeam.com/flexmoms

Are you saying your red brake warning light and anti-lock brake warning light are both coming on?
It would be advisable for you to check all wiring connections to the front wheel sensors. Since your subframe had to come out, your axles had to come out and the wheels had to come off in order to replace the engine, it is possible one of the wheel sensors or wiring for the sensors are compromised.

Ah, Daniel Day Lewis singing and dancing, Nicole, Marion, Dame Judi, big Italian numbers, Fergie from the Black Eyed... wait a second. What's that!!?! It's a dead mother and her child being viewed by a puppet crudely stitched together from a sack walking through an industrial wasteland where Earth used to be. Oh it's that '9'. The "kids" film '9'.
After that hilarious opening when I gone did confused the two films, I'll get on with acting like a grown-up and reviewing the film. I say 'like a grown-up', but I did just spend 80 minutes shitting my pants at a cartoon.
Based on his own Animated Oscar Winning short (which you can view below because I'm nice like that) Shane Acker has, under the tutelage of Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov, pulled a Neill Blomkamp and expanded his 11-minute wonder into a full on feature. Unlike 'District 9' (what is it with the number bloody 9 this year? what's wrong with 5, I like the number 5) '9' has been expanded with varying degrees of success.
Boil the plot down to its bare essentials and you're left with 'Terminator:Salvation' with ragdolls, as humanity is completely wiped out in a war against machines. Left to fight for 'humanity' are 9 little dolls like the ones in the picture above, all coincidently numbered from 1 to 9, with 9 being the hero. But why are they here? Where did they come from? And what are they hoping to achieve?
To be perfectly honest most of these questions are largely redundant and easily forgettable. What actually sets '9' apart from most movies is its bleakness, its darkness. And, thankfully this isn't Tim Burton, "I wear mascara and act moody" darkness but actual 'stuff of nightmares' darkness.
The imagery of the dystopian landscape coupled with the creatures chasing the sackcloth heroes is truly scary stuff. I'm pretty sure one of the villains has a baby's skull for a centrepiece.
Which begs the question, Who is this film for? Adults may find the dialogue and rehashed 'Humans Vs Robots' plot a little thin and children will call social services if you drag them along to a screening.
Then again, think back to your childhood. 'Watership Down', 'The Dark Crystal', 'The Witches', 'Temple Of Doom' these movies were disturbing, yet each provoke a strong childhood memory of confronting your fears. So maybe putting the willies up children is good for them.
Speaking of which, Michael Jackson's, 'This Is It' is also out Friday.

How do you make your grid?
For the grid, do you use strips of wood, or pieces of string?
Initially, I used vinyl window blind slats & hand watered.
The next year I used them again & hand watering became too much during our summer drought. The beds really do dry out quickly, so also used a sprinkler on top of a bucket.
The 3rd year added soaker hoses & didn't put the slats back in place. I lay them out a bit when planting, but remove them.
I dislike the appearance of the grids & don't really need them anymore to plant.
I learned to space with my hands & if a bit more space is given I need to water less. If plants are more productive even though less plants in the space than Mel's suggestion my yield is the same because each plant gives more.
I tried the venetian blind slats but those got blown around on a windy day. Tried green garden twine but that disintegrated within the season. Finally used nylon tomato string and it worked great. Screwed small screws on the top of the boards and wrapped the twine back and forth from side to side.
Note: Tried screws on the inside but the string kept popping off.

Dallas' legislative body is the City Council, made up of fourteen members from fourteen council districts. The Council's duties setting policy, approving the annual budget, determining the city's tax rate, appoints certain officials, issueing and selling municipal bonds, purchasing and selling property, establishing city departments and approving city ordinances.[3] The City Council holds Agenda meetings on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 9:00 A.M. and Briefings on the first and third Wednesday of the month at 9:00 A.M.[4]
The adopted budget for fiscal year 2014 totals $2.8 billion, and includes public safety, economic development, environmental management, park maintenance and educational enhancements.
The city's budget process operates by Fiscal Years running from October 1 to September 31 of the next year. The budget process begins with preliminary revenue projects that are divided into Key Focus Areas (KFAs) as determined by the city council. Budget teams then rank service bids in accordance with the KFAs until the funds of each are depleted. The City Manage presents these rankings as a preliminary budget to the City Council, who hold public hearings to address the proposal. The City Management and Office of Financial Services uses City Council and public feedback to amend the budget. The City Council adopts the budget in September. The city is required by state law to maintain a balanced budget.[5]

Signature requirement is 10% of the qualified voters of the city as appears from the latest available county voter registration list. A committee of at least five registered voters of the city must make application to the city secretary and file an intention to circulate a petition, giving the date and the proposed ordinance to be circulated. The petition must comply in form, content, and procedure with the provisions of Dallas Charter Chap. IV, Section 12. Petitions must be filed with the city secretary 60 days from initial application. After certification, the council has 20 days to pass the ordinance or promptly call a special election.
