Best person to place house and barn?
We purchased 3+ wooded acres. Who would be the best professional to help us decide the optimal house location? The architect? Structural engineer?
I just wander around wondering where the house will go.
Camp there for several weekends and watch the sun and shadows ...
Stop and think what your priorities and problems will be ...
Privacy versus easy access - how far from the road?
Winter/ice/rain access - Do you need to run the access road to avoid steep slopes and muddy bottoms?
Convenience for caring for horses (since you mention barn) - how far do you want to walk in the worst weather that location has?
How far do you want to haul construction materials
How much driveway do you want to care for
CLIMATE CONTROL and Living
Where will you have winter sun and summer shade?
What angle will work best for solar water heaters?
Where can you sit year-round, or at least 3 seasns?
3 acres isn't gigantic.
What will the barn be used for? Is the property fairly level? If not, I'd put the barn where it is most level.
How much forest do you want to cut? If you need a well and septic, you'll need a good-sized treeless space for them, in addition to barn, house, and driveway. Do you want to be surrounded by trees? Is there a change in elevation that would lend itself to a walkout (if you wanted one)?
DH insisted on a paved, level, short driveway. The last thing he wanted to do was to have to drive to the end of the driveway to see if the paper came.
If you want to build for energy efficiency, build so that the majority of the windows face south, put few windows facing north, berm the lower level if possible on the north side, and locate your outdoor porch/deck area in the SE corner.
Look at the property and decide what you want to look at all the time...do you have a view you want to see? Neighbors that you don't?
But a good architect should be able to help you with all of this.
Thank you for the advice.
The 3 acre lot is in a subdivision and 2 sides with paved roads so long access won't be a problem. I was thinking one driveway that splits - one to the garage and the other to the barn/shop.
500 x 510 x 490 x 85 and it's level. And we do want to build for energy efficiency and will have septic. The utilities are already at the street so that's good. Planning on the barn to have a guest suite that we will live in while we sell our current home and build the new one. (50 x 30) And no horses...some chickens and a couple goats and 4 beehives.
Since there are roads on 2 sides, the house will face either north or west. Will have a sunroom/screened porch and we are in Texas.
I'm not sure if we are to the point of choosing an architect, but then again, it would make planning easier if we had the basics in location decided.
We had the luxury of observing our land for a full year before building. We built the barn first, and lived in it while building the house. Although we were kind of locked in on location due to access, view, and topography, we wound up rotating the house about 30 degrees off of a north/south or east/west orientation.
In Texas, the west side of a house will be hot, and you want to limit windows and try to incorporate shade trees. The north side of any location is cold, uninviting, and tends to grow mold or algae. If you can rotate the house a bit so the 'north' side gets some sun, it makes all the difference.
Our barn is a little over 100' from the house; close enough to use the same septic system (you WANT a bathroom in your barn!) but far enough that noises and odors aren't objectionable at the house.
we are in southeast texas and have a corner lot also-with 4 acres
our subdivision required that we face the house on the street it
was located on (where the address was)
fortunately our houseplan worked well with that orientation
the subdivision requires certain setbacks, including 150 feet from the street, however the side street doesn't have that strict setback and we were able to have a hundred foot drive way which could have been shorter, but we wanted a 60 foot
long shop with doors facing the driveway before you get to the garage on the opposite side of the driveway
so between catching the breezes from the southeast and having the view there, the placement of the driveway for the shop/garage and the subdivision deed restrictions, we really didn't have many decisions to make....
If you need a well and septic, you'll need a good-sized treeless space for them
We didn't. The well site just required a few trees to be removed and the same for the septic. I suppose it depends on the type of septic system you use.
A local architect should be really helpful in determining the optimal orientation for energy efficiency.
Depending on how involved the town is in your building process, we needed approval from the town engineer for where our driveway could meet the street. That is another consideration for siting the house.
Also, water is a consideration. If you are having a basement, if there's a way to allow gravity to drain curtain drains around the basement, more's the better. Nothing worse than having the power go out during a major storm so the sump won't work while the basement is flooding...
Great points all around. If energy efficiency is a concern you should take the time to make the best out of your site and unfortunate orientation plans. Either architect or builder could be good choices as long as they are well versed in the impacts of Western and Northern exposures. Some people are much better than others at this sort of design. Its going to be a tough balancing act regardless.
Interesting question, I am thinking on my future build with a small ranch house and barn behind ... was just talking to the guy that will build the barn.
I envision the house in front, with septic in front of the house. Small backyard. Barn behind the yard. Driveway up to the house/garage on the right of the house, with a split that goes around the house to the right, back to the barn. I need hay delivered, so need access to the barn.
The back part of the property will be pasture for my donkeys.
That's my "vision"! LOL! Will be speaking to an architect this week ...

So I want to brew a Chocolate Milk Stout and picked up the following for it...
6 pounds Breiss Dark LME
12oz. ground Chocolate Malt
12oz. ground Blackprinz Malt
4oz. Chocolate extract.
I also grabbed Wyeast 1187, Ringwood to go with it...
I plan to steep the malts for the standard 20 mins and then add the LME towards the end of the boil.
My question is, should I go with nibs instead of extract? And which hops would be best?
Also, Am I putting too much Blackprinz in it? I ground the two together and originally only meant to do 4oz, but grabbed the wrong bag.
Thanks and sorry for the questions, this will be my first non-kit brew.
Drinking: Schlafly Pale Ale
Primary: Nothing yet...
On Deck: Blonde Ale and Light Ale
Your receipt is pretty close to the one brewed. I opted for the cocao nibs in the secondary for 14 days. My hops were 1oz cluster @ 60 mins and .5 oz of cluster @ 30 mins . Still one of my favorite brews to date. Are you going to use lactose in this brew?
Yeah, forgot to add I have a pound of lactose. One recipe said toss it in for the full 60 minute boil while another said just for the last 10. What would the main difference be?
If i can recall i added mine just after everything settled down from the 60 min additions. about the 50- 45 min mark. I don't know what the differences would be 60 vs 10. Sounds like i need to do a re brew

Pneumoparotid: A case report and review of its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management.
Pneumoparotid is considered to be a rare entity, but the diagnosis might not be as uncommon as reported. We report a case in which computed tomography incidentally revealed air in the parotid ducts bilaterally. Treatment is aimed at the elimination of predisposing and causative factors, but because our patient denied any symptoms or precipitating factors and had a benign presentation, no immediate intervention was initiated.
Pneumoparotid is the presence of gas in the parotid gland or salivary ducts. It is the result of an increase in intraoral pressure and the subsequent forced entry of air through Stensen's duct. Pneumoparotid can be caused by dental instrumentation, positive-pressure ventilation during anesthesia, chronic cough, and playing a wind instrument and other physical activities that involve forceful exhalation.
The clinical examination can reveal unilateral or bilateral parotid swelling, subcutaneous emphysema, or frothy salivary secretions. Computed tomography (CT) and standard sialography confirm the diagnosis. Treatment is aimed at the elimination of precipitating factors. Two treatments have been considered for sialadenitis secondary to recurrent or chronic episodes of pneumoparotid: transposition of Stensen's duct and parotidectomy. In this article, we present a case of pneumoparotid, and we review its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management.
Case report
A 50-year-old man came to the otolaryngology clinic with a long history of postnasal drainage and nasal congestion that were refractory to medical management. Screening CT of the paranasal sinuses revealed well-aerated paranasal sinuses and air in Stensen's duct bilaterally (figure).
The patient had not undergone any recent dental manipulation and had never played a wind instrument. Head and neck examination revealed no evidence of parotid swelling. The patient was afebrile, and the saliva flow from the ducts on manual parotid pressure was normal. In view of these findings, no immediate intervention was initiated. The patient was followed clinically for the potential occurrence of parotitis or sialadenitis, and he reported no symptoms at 1 month.
Pneumoparotid is the result of an increase in intraoral pressure and the subsequent insufflation of air into Stensen's duct. Other terms for this condition include pneumatocele glandulae parotis, [1] wind parotitis, [2] surgical mumps and anesthesia mumps, [3] and pneumosialadenitis. [4]
Pathogenesis. The diagnosis is considered rare, but it might not be as uncommon as previously reported. A review of the literature reveals reports of several etiologies. In 1865, Hyrtl first described this condition in musicians who were learning to play wind instruments. [5] Glassblowers are known to be predisposed to pneumoparotid, as well. [6] Following anesthesia, patients sometimes strain and cough during extubation while receiving positive pressure, which can cause air to insufflate into the parotid gland. [3] Injury during a dental procedure can occur when the dentist is working near the maxillary molars or when the angulation of instruments is improper. [7] Pneumoparotid has also been induced by nose blowing, [1] blowing up balloons, [6] chronic attempts to suppress cough, [8,9] and rapid decompression while scuba diving. [10] It can also be self-induced, and the literature contains an increasing number of reports involving pediatric and adolescent patients who induce parotid insufflation to avoid sc hool or gain attention. [5,1,12] Other episodes have been attributed to anatomic abnormalities, including a patulous Stensen's duct, [4] masseter muscle hypertrophy, [5] and buccinator muscle weakness. [13]
The anatomy of Stensen's duct normally prevents a retrograde influx of air. Redundant mucosal folds surround the slit-shaped orifice, providing a seal when intraoral pressure increases. In addition, the diameter of the duct orifice is smaller than that of the duct itself. [12] The buccinator muscle further acts to compress the duct during contraction. However, large increases in intraoral pressure can overwhelm normal protective mechanisms and allow air and saliva to enter the ductal system. Air rupturing through the parotid acini can extend to the parapharyngeal space and cause subcutaneous emphysema and airway obstruction. This can progress to involve the retropharyngeal space.
Diagnosis. The history and physical examination are key to the diagnosis. Parotid swelling can be unilateral or bilateral, depending on its cause. Cases involving dental instrumentation are usually unilateral on the side where the work was done. It is necessary to exclude obstructive, inflammatory, metabolic, and neoplastic causes of parotid enlargement. The clinical examination might reveal subcutaneous emphysema, crepitation along the course of Stensen's , [1,4,6,10,14] and frothy saliva. [1,4,6,13,14] Patients usually experience pain, tenderness, and erythema. Salivary gland enlargement usually resolves within several days. In contrast, fever and toxicity accompany parotitis as a result of the presence of gas-forming organisms. Recurrent parotid insufflation can predispose the patient to recurrent parotitis and sialectasis.
Radiographic examination confirms the diagnosis. CT and sialography delineate the salivary ducts, salivary gland tissue, and surrounding structures. Ductal dilation is a common finding. Although a normal duct pattern is often seen after repeated episodes of air reflux, the secondary ducts can become dilated and strictured.
Treatment. Treatment is directed toward elimination of the causative or predisposing factors. Depending on the patient's condition, other measures can be taken, including reassurance, massage, hydration, warm compresses, and the prescription of anti-inflammatory medications, prophylactic antibiotics, and sialagogues. Wind instrumentalists and glassblowers can be taught techniques to reduce their chances of insufflation. In cases of self-induction, psychological counseling might be of benefit. Surgical intervention--including salivary gland duct ligation, [1] the transposition of Stensen's duct to the tonsillar fossa, [4,13] and parotidectomy[14]--can be considered for recurrent infectious episodes.

This election year, just as those before it, I found myself reflecting on the last four years. That's not uncommon. I believe most of us found ourselves in the same boat. Another four years and "still" chasing that elusive 12-pound bass and, oh, yeah, another presidential race.
Water covered with a thick carpet of vegetation represents bass fishing's ultimate approach/avoidance conflict.
"BASS came into being because I was able to convince a few stalwarts that my ideas about bass tournaments and conservation weren't totally crazy."
In this article, you can read stories about soldier anglers who escaped the stresses of war by enjoying the challenge, relaxation and companionship of fishing on some very unique waters.
How's this for the ultimate "Spring Break" trip: a fishing trip to a fishery that set a BASS all-time heavyweight catch, and if you're lucky a trip to a nearby lake where the bass grow big and rarely see lures tossed by tournament anglers.
Gene Gilliland is a senior fisheries biologist with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife and president of the North Oklahoma City Bassmasters.)
Back in the early 1990s, Michael Iaconelli boasted that he would be a champion in fishing.
Many anglers mistakenly believe wading is strictly a spring fling for bass fishermen.
Ish Monroe has to think hard to recall a tournament where prop baits played a role in a strong finish. It's not that he's had so few. On the contrary, double-prop baits have figured a major part in many of his solid tournament performances — but one stands out as a banner event. He was fishing in a CITGO Bassmaster Tour event on Florida's Lake Toho a few years ago when he found a pocket of open water surrounded by thickly matted grass. Monroe, who lives near the California Delta, knew he was going to pull a pile of bass from that spot and he had a strong feeling at least a few of them would come on one of his favorite topwaters, a Smithwick Devil's Horse, a slim surface bait with three sets of treble hooks and two propellers.
Texas resource managers restocked Brazos River impoundments with Florida-strain bass this spring.

Morgan Freeman Receives GSFC Renaissance Award
Actor Morgan Freeman was in Chicago last night to accept the Gene Siskel Film Center and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's annual Renaissance Award,* and to participate in a career-retrospective conversation with his Last Vegas director, Jon Turteltaub. "A Candid Conversation with Morgan Freeman" took place at the Ritz-Carlton, and was one of those swank affairs that humble-means bloggers like me read about, but rarely dream of actually attending. Despite feeling a bit like The O.C.'s Ryan Atwood, I'm happy to report that everyone I met couldn't have been friendlier and more excited to share an intimate evening with a Hollywood legend.
GSFC Director of Programming Barbara Scharres introduced Freeman as having "played the President of the United States, the Speaker of the House, and Batman's genius inventor. He's also played God--twice." Indeed, as Turteltaub introduced clips spanning nearly forty years of film, television, and stage, it became apparent to everyone in the room that a discussion of modern cinema is, inherently, a discussion of Morgan Freeman to some degree. In projects as varied as The Electric Company and Lean on Me to The Shawshank Redemption and The Lego Movie, the actor has collaborated with the biggest names in the business, and realized indelible characters who rule the pop culture landscape.
But even cooler than revisiting these grand performances was Freeman's telling of the small and surprising behind-the-scenes moments that shaped them. He won his breakout role as a pimp in Street Smarts by playing against the loud and over-the-top actors in the waiting room of the audition--instead, recalling the quiet terror of having seen a real-life pimp intimidate a prostitute in his New York neighborhood. Incidentally, this was the last film for which Freeman would ever audition.
Despite all the fame and accolades, the actor still seemed in awe of having learned that Sidney Poitier passed on the part of Hoke Colburn in Driving Miss Daisy. Freeman defined the character in its original off-Broadway run, but was sure that Hollywood would seek out a brand-name screen actor for the big-screen adaptation. Poitier caught the show and refused to touch it, insisting that Freeman be the one to see it through.
Turteltaub also touched on Freeman's very early career, unearthing the only role that ever truly challenged him, and some sage advice he received from a stage legend. The former story found the actor taking on Othello in a theatre in Texas. Though he sought advice from greats such as James Earl Jones and Christopher Plummer, his unexpected nemesis turned out to be the wardrobe department: his outfit was a bit too close to that of Jimi Hendrix, and an audience member shouted at him on opening night, demanding that he play "Purple Haze".
One of the best tips Freeman received on acting came from Jose Ferrer during rehearsals for their two-man show in 1978. Freeman's idolization of Ferrer (who called to pitch him the play after seeing him in a one-week-run show--which wound up netting Freeman a Tony nomination) got in the way of their preparations. He scolded the starry eyed actor, admonishing him with, "You've gotta get over this adoration bullshit!" Freeman came to his senses, and never forgot to keep himself--and future awe-struck co-stars--in check.
In one of many funny, ribbing exchanges with Turteltaub, Freeman talked a bit about his present-day process. Contrary to Last Vegas co-star Robert DeNiro, who enjoys exploring scenes through multiple takes, Freeman said, "I enjoy the process until about take eight." Turteltaub also remarked that many of his contemporaries (such as David Fincher and Christopher Nolan) tend to set aside their pinball-camera antics when it comes to Freeman, giving both audience and artist breathing room to appreciate the performance: "When you have Morgan Freeman talking, you stop and take a picture, and let him do his thing."
At the end of the evening, Dr. Walter E. Massey, the President of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, presented Freeman with the 2014 Renaissance Award, which honors filmmakers who advance the art of cinema (past recipients include George Lucas, Michael Mann, and Nicole Kidman). During his acceptance speech, Freeman referred to influential film critic Gene Siskel as "a friend", and credited him and fellow titan Roger Ebert with having helped his career with praise and publicity early on.
As the evening wound down, and Freeman and Turteltaub left the venue in a frenzy of flashbulbs, applause, and general good will, I was left feeling profoundly elated. Especially in blockbuster season, where weekend numbers define a film's quality as much as the screenplay in the public consciousness--and smaller, personal films struggle to even get released--it's easy to think of movies as gaudy, disposable products. But nights like this serve as a warm reminder that film is an art form in which talented creators are sometimes celebrated for their intellect, insight, and commitment to making unforgettable entertainment.
*This annual fundraiser is the primary event that ensures that the GSFC can continue to present the highest quality films and film-related events in Chicago. All proceeds support the The Gene Siskel Film Center's eclectic film programming as well as lecture series and discussions with visiting scholars and filmmakers. The Gene Siskel Film Center and SAIC are part of The Art Institute of Chicago. For more information about the Art Institute, please visit www.artic.edu.

To prepare the fenugreek and green peas mixture:
1. Into a bowl take the fresh fenugreek leaves, green peas, roughly chopped fresh cilantro (coriander leaves) and green chilies. Add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of yogurt and 4 tablespoons of oil.
2. Using an electronic hand blender, blend this mixture well until smooth.
To prepare the dough:
3. In a bowl mix together, wheat flour, chick pea flour, semolina, turmeric powder, salt and ginger paste.
4. Add the prepared fenugreek and green peas mixture to the flour mixture and knead to form a semi-soft dough.
5. Smooth out the surface of the dough with a little ghee. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Using a roller board and pin, roll out the bhakris just as chapatis or rotis are rolled out.
7. Bake or roast over a tawa for about a minute or two till you see the bubbles on either side, then flip them directly over the stove and bake.
8. An alternate option is to bake the bhakris in a pan, drizzling some oil on the edges. Flip sides till they are completely done.
9. If desired, you can also deep fry the bhakris like puris.
10. Serve hot, smeared with a little ghee or butter with a pickle or raita of your choice.
Bajra (millet flour), jowar flour, rice flour or corn flour may also be used.
You do not require water to knead this dough.
Do not let the dough rest for more than 15 to 20 minutes, as water release would cause the dough to becomes more soft. So if you are not preparing the bhakris immediately after 15 to 20 minutes, refrigerate the dough and take it out before preparing the bhakris/parathas.

katseyes2 is thinking of something to say.
It's difficult to define yourself in writing. I believe there are a great number of individuals that embellish their profile summary. Although it may attract interest initially, it defeats the purpose of why we are here, it's hard to get to know someone if they are dishonest about who they are. I have been described by friends and family as charming, diplomatic, strong-willed, respectful and maternal (not to be confused with me wanting to be your mother). I would describe myself as compassionate, diligent, spiritual, benevolent, artistic and charismatic with a sarcastic sense of humor. I am a person that can fit in and be comfortable in any environment. I am not a high-maintenance woman; I enjoy the simple things in life (dinner & a movie, social gatherings, quiet walks, museums, bowling, traveling, etc.). I would like to meet someone who shares similar interests and ideas. A man who enjoys intellectual conversations without being opinionated. Someone uplifting and encouraging with genuine intentions. I respect and admire a man who can communicate in a straightforward manner. I am not interested in what kind of car you drive, how big your house is or how much money you make. Possessing all three is definitely a bonus, but not a deal breaker. I am not a shallow person. I would take a broke man with an amazing personality over a rich man who is arrogant and selfish.

History of Wine Glasses and Decanters

As wine gained status throughout history it has been accompanied by various mediums of art in the form of objects created for the service, enjoyment, and ritual use of wine. Drinking glasses and decanters became a part of the heightened status of wine culture. From an artistic perspective, they provided craftsmen the opportunity to display fashionable techniques and skills of the time, reflecting contemporary style to be included as a part of the owner's interior design.

Though numerous forms of wine cups had existed since the classical period, it was the 14th century merchants of Venice that set a new standard of elegance in wine-drinking by combining the skills of the glassblower and designer. The clarity and transparency of their cristallo glass allowed the color of the wine to be fully appreciated. The Venetian style persisted in the next centuries, however the ever-changing style of interior decoration influenced new designs for glasses. In the 1670s George Ravenscroft developed a new formula for glass using lead oxide. The lead glass was softer, stronger, heavier and more luminous. When first introduced the styles continued to emulate the Venetian forms, however, the lead glass was too heavy and slow to set. In the 1690s the more simplified style of balustrade stems consisting of bold, massive "knops" came into fashion, modeled after the furniture of the time. By the 1760s glass-cutting became the preferred design method. The return to clean lines and geometrical shapes reflected the neoclassical style that was in vogue at the time. Until this time, a wineglass was an individual decorative object, and a considerable investment. In the 18th century the dining room became a clearly defined space within the house and formal dining customs were established. The developments in dining ritual and service led to the requirement of matching sets of glasses in the 18th century.

Glass decanters began appearing as Ravenscroft's new lead glass was being perfected. Their early use was to show off the color and clarity of the wine, hidden by the dark black and green glass of the wine bottle. It also acted as a more elegant transport from barrel to table than the contemporary awkward stoneware jugs. When it first arrived, the shape was derived from the squat, short-necked wine bottle. This 'shaft and globe' style persisted into the middle of the 18th century when, like wine bottles, they became more vertical and cylindrical. As they evolved the shape became narrower and often took on new elegant forms. Like the drinking glasses, glass cutting and engraving were the most common methods of decoration and soon patterns and designs were found covering the entire surface of the glass. With the rise of the bottlescrew and the popularity of laying wines down for ageing, the decanter came into its own. Wines aged in the bottle were swamped in heavy sediment and it was necessary to pour the wine into another container leaving the sediment behind

The popularity and evolution of fine drinking glasses and decanters have continued to contribute to the elegance and sophistication within wine culture.

Trainer Aidan O'Brien's bid for a seventh straight Phoenix Stakes (Ire-I) for 2-year-olds at The Curragh came up short when unbeaten Damson, ridden by Kieren Fallon, beat a pair of of O'Brien-trained competitors.O'Brien's Oratorio and Russian Blue were second and third in the six-furlong event.Although O'Brien didn't win, the Entrepreneur filly is owned by O'Brien's major clients, Sue Magnier and Michael Tabor. David Wachman, who enjoyed his first group I success, trains Damson. The win had Fallon thinking about next year's One Thousand Guineas (Eng-I) with the Queen Mary Stakes winner."She will have absolutely no problem getting a mile," Fallon told Racing Post after Damson won in her first clash with the colts with a dynamic 4 3/4-length win. She's the first filly to take the Phoenix in 10 years. Wachman said, "She was idling after she got to the front. It's a big relief to have had everything go so smoothly today and to have won a Group 1." The 8-11 choice, Damson stalked Russian Blue and Oratorio into the final furlong and grabbed the lead between the two leaders with a sixteenth of a mile to go.Oratorio finished a half-length in front of Russian Blue. The time was 1:13.29 on good to firm footing.Billet, Camouflage and Premier Dance rounded out the order of finish.In spite of the loss, O'Brien won four races at The Curragh Sunday. He captured the Royal Whip (Ire-II) with Solskjaer and the Patrick P. O'Leary Memorial Phoenix Sprint Stakes (Ire-III) with rebounding 3-year-old One Cool Cat against older horses at six furlongs, and the Robert H. Griffin Debutante (Ire-II) for 2-year-old fillies with Silk and Scarlet.

Day 193
Another cold clear night passed. We caught the bus into the city. We plan to visit the cathedral and it's museums. We arrived a little early and had to wait to pay for the inclusive ticket to all the areas is the cathedral. Just after 10.30 we entered through the main entrance the interior is unlike any other religios building that we have been in, the floor is made up of 56 large inlaid panels depicting historical and religious subjects. ...

... time under the bonnet or that's where he thought it was. Close inspection revealed that a heater hose, that drops down behind the engine to then feed the rear heater, had been rubbing against a rib on the chassis. Fortunately we have some pipe joiners and jubilee clips, so the repair wasn't too difficult, but also not so easy sprottling on your back underneath the vehicle. Once that was sorted, a test revealed another ...

Her main had to be re done, and I actually had a taste, her duck was better without. Today's ride was awesome, 61k, but only 900m in ascents! One not so nice, but otherwise gentle rolling hills on fairly quiet roads through spectacular vineyard covered hill sides. Today's bonus .... No rain ...
Siena day 2
... but some shops sold proper Italian leather gloves so i treated myself to what is hopefully a long lasting souvenir in some brown leather gloves lined with wool. The lady in the final shop was very patient while i tried on about 10 pairs and ummed and ahhed for ages deciding!
So that was today, a lot of dipping in and out of shops walking around Siena. I was planning on getting the bus to Florence tomorrow but after my last bus experience I might try the train!
Beautiful countryside
... calorie-conscious breakfast we ruined it all with chocolate, lemon, almond or orange cake!
First we drove to Radda, a small town about 20 minutes away. We had heard that they had a great leather shop there for shoes and handbags. Sounded like a great idea to me! Lots of lovely little shops there but the leather place was a bit disappointing- no purchases made! We then drove on to Castellina, another fortified toen a further 20 or so minutes ...

Diana Lowenstein Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by international artist Loris Cecchini from December 5th, 2012 through January 31st, 2013. A reception will take place at the gallery during the December Wynwood Gallery Walk on Saturday, December 8th, from 6 to 10pm.
In Cecchini's work photography, drawing, sculpture and installation combine to form a unified poetics, the cardinal element of which is transfiguration. The subjects that appear include multiple collages and detailed architectural models, objects in rubber, reinvented caravans and tree houses, structurally distorted spaces, and prismatic, transparent covers and surfaces. The variety and morphology of the elements constantly interrelate in a continuous alternating process of deconstruction and reconstruction located in the interchange between the physical reality of the materials and a virtualized presence.
In both his photographs and sculptures, the revision of a wide-ranging notion of the 'model' involves the reworking of familiar forms from our everyday lives, which are transferred into an altered vision that challenges the viewer's perceptions. Using subtle digital processing methods, the artist superimposes snatches of reality onto physical/virtual scenarios constructed by means of studio models, creating various situations that lie somewhere between the plausible and the paradoxical.
Loris Cecchini was born in Milan in 1969 and currently lives and works in Berlin as well as Tuscany. His art has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and around the world.

Euro Night Crawlers
Well after playing with my bins over the weekend I am now convinced I have Euros in my two. I came to this conclusion after reading Bently Christie's Red Worm Composting page (the buy worms page photos specifically). The worms I have have the thick light pink clitellum and the rather yellow tails and also are getting large.
Over a month ago I bought three tubs of bait worms from the big box outfitter. These worms have been going strong for that month too. While moving these over I did find cocoons.
This weekend I divided my bin in half and placed half in a newly constructed DIY worm inn. My existing bin was a 5 gallon bucket.
While I would like to move over to red worms I don't have the funds in my garden budget to make a 1 pound purchase. Couple that with the fact that it is getting cold fast here in northern Illinois.
My goal for this is almost entirely VC for my garden but getting rid of kitchen scraps is nice too.
Does anyone think that Euros would work well in two indoor bins and grow the population quickly?
If Euros won't work any suppliers suggested for a small purchase of red worms?
