Various: Cameron Highland's Top Eateries
Unlike her spartan sister (Fraser's Hill ) , Cameron Highlands have more food choices for the weary traveller. You can get anything from really bad banana pancakes to honest to goodness Indian Bryani. Here's a list of all my favourite eating places.
1)Tea and Scones
- Bala's Chalet
- T-Cafe
Ho's Organic Restaurant - Brinchang
Hong Kong Restaurant - Tanah Rata
3)Western Style Meal
- Ye Olde Smokehouse
Smokehouse: Come for the nice garden cafe.
Very nice setting of garden cafe surrounded by plants. You may want to stay in their old style living/guest room. Perfect place for relaxing.
Favorite Dish: We just stopped by to have tea. Ordered scones served with fresh strawberry jam and butter, and have it together with coffee.
- School Holidays
Country Lodge: Steamboat or a la carte? Fresh choices plenty
In cool cool Country Lodge located in Brinchang part of Cameron Highlands who can do without a steaming brew of their special herbs steamboat with lots of vege and meat.
Forget packing your utensils and sauces and recipes to the hilltop
Why work yourself painfully to stress making dinner when you can eat good stuff peacefully and cheap?
Favorite Dish: Try Steamboat style or you can a la carte you 9 course dinner.
Country is a hotel with chinese restaurant.
- Road Trip
Restoran Tringkap: Good cheap food
It is a chinese restaurant like in any small town in Malaysia. Quite noisy and do have to wait quite long for food as there are many people going there for dinner and supper.
Favorite Dish: Go for their signature dish… Black pepper fish. The fish is deep fried fillets and accompany by sweet sour onion and cucumber. Good for eating with rice or as appetiser. Try the white steam chicken with ginger too. The yam with stew pork looks good too. You can go for steamboat or order dishes. It is open for lunch and dinner. If you want a quick meal go for their mix rice or steamboat. If you are ordering dishes be prepare to wait for 30 to 45 minutes.

The T Cafe: The T Cafe - Good Place for Afternoon Tea
The Cafe offers good food at affordable prices. A must go for every tourist to Cameron Highlands. Recommends the desserts like Scones, Apple Pie and Cheesecake.
Favorite Dish: Scones and BOH Tea. Instead of the common Devonshire Tea and Scones. In Cameron Highlands, BOH Tea is the household tea. The sweet aroma of BOH Tea goes well with the homemade scones.

Various in Tanah Rata etc: Cook it yourself - the steamboat
The steamboat dish can be found in various places, but it is a local speciality here in the Cameron Highlands area - and virtually every restaurant along the main strip in Tanah Rata offers it.
The best bet is just to walk along the one main road and find a place that you like the look of, and other people are already tucking in.
Favorite Dish: The cooking pot is delivered to you table along with a gas canister which sits underneath. The boiling contraption contains one (for the cheapest meal), two or even four soups. You than proceed to place the different meats, seafood, vegtables and noodles into the thing, allowing them to cook for a few minutes.
As you are actually cooking it yourself, prices are low. I think we paid only 15 Ringitt or so for our 'mid-range' meal each

Schwarbing: A taste of Europe in the mountains
Fancy encountering a German Swiss restaurant in Cameron Highlands? That's what I found during my stay in Tanah Rata.
Restaurant owner, Steven Ananda whipped up some emmenthaler sausages for me complete with mashed potatoes and salad. Turns out Steven gets his meat from Eurodeli in KL!
There's even a budget hotel here called Schwarbing House Inn and it costs RM60 (approximately US$17.40) a night.
Favorite Dish: Food was not too bad although I find the sausages that I have tasted from Eurodeli restaurant in KL better. Perhaps the meat is not as fresh in Cameron Highlands as Steven only stocks up during the weekends as it will be crowded.
- Adventure Travel
Farm Fresh Strawberries!
Strawberry plantation is one of the trademarks of Cameron Highlands. We visited one such farm as part of the packaged tour during our Oriental Outings 2011
Although observing the unique strawberry cultivation process was an experience itself, however, the adjacent 'factory shop' was the main highlight of the visit!
Favorite Dish: My favourite is of-course two glasses of strawberry juice, as one is surely not enough! I am not sure if it is allowed to handpick strawberries from the farm, but you can always give that a try.
Coming back to the topic, i.e. strawberry juice, let me say that it was the best I have ever had! No exaggeration, believe me.
There were other strawberry items also, in the store, but most of them appeared overpriced.
Please click here to know what else we explored during the day
Restoran Highlands: Unusual Lemon Chicken
We had our lunch here on the first day of our trip. If I remember correctly, this eating place is located in Tanah Rata town. The food were quite good. The meal came to less RM150 for 13 adults splitted to 2 tables (meaning each dishes listed below are served in 2 plates, one plate on each table).
We ordered
1) Deep Fried Tofu
2) Lemon Chicken
3) Sambal watercress
4) Stir-fried vegetables
6) Steamed rice
5) Chrysanthemum Tea
The amount of houseflies flying around during meal was normal as compared to other parts of Malaysia I've been.
Favorite Dish: 1) lemon chicken - one of the specialty of the shop, highly recommended by the owner. Indeed it tastes different from those I've tasted elsewhere and it's pretty good.
2) sambal watercress - I've only eaten watercress cooked in soup, first time i tried it stir-fried, refreshing change.
- Family Travel
Restoran Ngow Kee: A hell lot of houseflies but good food!
We had our 2nd day lunch here.
There are really a lot of houseflies in this by the longkang (drain in Malay) restoran. But the food is pretty good and I think this place is probably well-known by the locals.
They serves quite interesting food. e.g. We spent ard RM252 for 13 adults seated on 2 tables
We ordered
1) Steamed fish x 2 (half side per table)
2) Stir-fried watercress x 2
3) Sambal "Dragon-beard Veg" (龙须菜) which is the leaves & stalks of Chayote (佛手瓜) x 2
4) Stir-fried brinjal with fresh mushrooms x 1
5) Stir-fried Masked civet (果子狸) x 2
6) Kampung Chicken x 2
7) Steamed rice x 16
8) Passion Fruit Juice x 1
9) "Fruit of Love" Juice x 1
9) Rojak x 1
Favorite Dish: I liked the Sambal Chayote leaves & stalk & steamed fish the most. I found the stir-fried brinjal with fresh mushroom a bit too oily.

Jim Thompson @ Cameron Highlands Resort: High tea with high prices
As the brand new Cameron Highlands Resort is the most expensive hotel in Cameron Highlands, I wanted to take a peek at the grounds of this posh place especially its spa. Decided to have high tea and enjoy the ambience.
High tea comes at a steep price of US$20 per person. You are given a nice pot of tea, big strawberries with 3 types of sauces (chocolate, clotted cream and vanilla sauce), scones with homemade strawberry jam, finger sandwiches and 2 savouries (puffs). All very small size servings (I would call it "dainty"!)
The strawberries, jam and scones were lovely but the rest of the stuff were not that good. So, it's only worth while going there if you're looking for a comfortable spot to spend the afternoon in a big armchair, a good book and enjoying the gardens, pools of the hotel.

Restoran Cameron Highlands: If you have not been trapped before, try here!
Avoid this place at all cost, if not it will cost you a lot. I and my family went up Cameron Highland on a wonderful Friday and expect a good dinner.
There wasn't any menu and/or price. There's only a notice saying price is up 20% during the Chinese New Year season. They'll charge you crazy for pathetic food. Fish ball soup which is basically 10 pcs of flour balls goes around RM 18. A dish of very normal vege cost about RM 17. A dish of chicken with a few slices of chicken and which doesnt taste good goes for around RM 28. Everything added in, it cost us RM 170 for 5 person simple dinner which is exorbitantly high even compared to KL standards. This restaurant is definitely a trap for tourist. They like one-time business.
Be careful of others restaurant around that have a same signage design. Or to be safe, first check whether the restaurants have menu with price listed clearly before deciding to eat there. Be wary of restaurant where there are people inviting you in.
Favorite Dish: Definitely none. Probably the strawberry juice is ok, because its not available in KL. But be prepared to pay a lot for something you can buy somewhere else on the highland.

Boh Tea Cafe: Cantilevered Alfresco
It's actually a cafe. Certainly the ambience. The alfresco is cantilevered with the amazing view of the tea plantation.
Favorite Dish: We just ordered tea and some cakes. It was more to actually enjoying the view and the cool breeze.
Steamboat's Restaurant
In the cold weather, the most nicest way of enjoying food is steamboat.. with plain soup and Tom Yam soup... that really great.... hot soup fresh ingredient.
Favorite Dish: Mushroom, fishball, and tooooo much of "vegetable"
Coffee Shop: Recommended at Equatorial
The waiters there are friendly, fast and helpful. The food has the quantity, quality and nice presentation. The outdoor dining area is the nicest spot to have the food, it's cooling outside and with really nice view of the hills. the service there is really good.
everything is perfect except one thing. the flies there are irritating, they don't only stop on your food, they stop anywhere and they are not that sensitive to fly off quickly unless your action is really big to shoo them off. this is the only irritating thing when you dine outdoor.
Favorite Dish: The mushroom cream soup is good, fish and chips is good too!

A fur that's politically correct and even ecology-friendly to wear? Is such a thing possible?
Well, maybe. Oscar de la Renta, Michael Kors, Patrik Ervell and Gilles Mendel are among the designers who might be described as nuts for nutria fur.
Nutrias are large semiaquatic rodents that are indigenous to South America. In the late 1880s, fur trappers imported these beaverlike creatures to Louisiana to breed. But the business wasn't as lucrative as they expected, and many of the critters were released into the wetlands of the Gulf Coast.
In addition to sporting a thick, lustrous fur, nutrias are quite prolific. So 100 years later, it was found that the nutria population of Louisiana was decimating the wetlands by devouring marsh grasses, eroding and damaging the area's delicate ecosystem.
In response, the Coastwide Nutria Control Program was introduced in 2002. Managed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and funded with federal dollars, the program is currently paying $5 for each nutria tail turned in to the program, enabling coastal trappers — many of them survivors of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita — to make a living.
"Lots of coastal trappers are earning money through the Coastwide Nutria Control Program," Edmond Mouton, biologist and program manager for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, told TODAYshow.com. "We took in about 300,000 tails in the years before Katrina and Rita. Post Katrina and Rita, it dropped a bit because of the impact of the storms, but this is a fairly resilient group of people. In the past year, they set a record of 445,963 tails."
This intake has had a direct effect on the wetlands. "We've gone from 100,000 acres damaged in 2001 to a little more than 8,000 acres damaged now coastwide," Mouton added, "It's a successful program."
After the state takes the tail, the trappers can then sell the pelts for additional income. "A lot of the fur is shipped to China and used in the Russian and Eastern European markets to make hats and coats — medium-price type garments," Mouton explained. "They get $1 to $1.50, sometimes $2 per pelt, depending on the quality."
"China is the single biggest fur market today and Russia is right after that," Keith Kaplan, executive director of the Fur Information Council of America, told TODAYshow.com. But, he added, each fur has its own "fashion" cycle.
Back in fashion?
"Nutria has been quiet in the past few years," Kaplan said, but it is on the rise in fits and starts: "Last season, Oscar de la Renta did a nutria vest." Michael Kors has used sheared nutria to line raincoats, which is a perfect application. "It's a durable, dense fur that is traditionally used as trims or in linings. It can have a rich, rugged look."
Designers de la Renta and Kors are in the last stages of preparing their Spring 2011 collections to show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York this week, and consequently declined to comment. However, Mel Castro, product development director at Pologeorgis Furs, which holds the license and makes Michael Kors' furs, said, "We're not currently using a lot of nutria, but who is to say it's not going to be the big trend next season?"

In addition to fashion dictating what is popular, current events also affect what is socially acceptable, Kaplan said. "There have been coyote incidences in Los Angeles and Chicago, so there are calls for increased trapping. In Maryland, there was a law passed about not trapping beavers, and all these trees started coming down. Now there's a movement to trap beavers. In New York, there's a raccoon problem," he cited. "States don't have the budget to deal with these problems, so things like financial incentives help wildlife agencies manage overpopulation.
"Fur is a renewable, sustainable resource," Kaplan added. "And faux fur is a petroleum product." Which is a particularly sensitive issue for residents along the Gulf these days.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
18 Oct 2013 14:33 GMT | Politics, Africa, Tunisia
Protesting security personnel have driven Tunisia's top leaders from a memorial ceremony for two policemen killed by gunmen, in a sign of growing frustration over the costly fight against rebel fighters.
President Moncef Marzouki, Prime Minister Ali Larayedh and parliamentary speaker Mustapha Ben Jaafar were confronted by members of the security forces, some in uniform, shouting "Get out!" during the official ceremony at a military barracks in the Tunis suburb of L'Aouina.
The Tunisian leaders left after about 20 minutes of jeers from the crowd, without any of them addressing the gathering.
We won't accept the presence of politicians
A protester
"We won't accept the presence of politicians," shouted one of the protesters, as many of the demonstrators carried placards demanding laws to protect the police.
Only Interior Minister Lotfi Ben Jeddou was able to attend the ceremony for the two men killed on Thursday by an armed group in the Beja region, 70km west of Tunis.
"We are all against terrorism. This is a war, and we will not give up," he said in a brief speech.
Earlier, the interior ministry spokesman said security forces had killed several members of the group suspected of carrying out Thursday's attack, which also left one policeman wounded, in a military offensive.
Security force unions have organised several demonstrations in recent months to condemn the lack of resources made available to combat Tunisia's jihadist movement, which has seen an alarming rise since the 2011 revolution.
But this is the first time police representatives have directly blamed the country's top leaders, who normally attend memorial ceremonies for police and soldiers killed in combat.
In a separate incident in December, Marzouki and Ben Jaafar were forced to flee a ceremony in the poor central town of Sidi Bouzid to mark the two year anniversary of the revolution that erupted there.
Living conditions
On that occasion, protesters disappointed with the government's failure to improve living conditions heckled them and pelted them with stones.
Since December, security forces have been tracking a group of fighters allegedly linked to al-Qaeda in the Chaambi mountain region along the Algerian border, with about 15 soldiers and police killed in the operations.
Despite air strikes and a major military offensive launched in July, the fighters remain active, with clashes reported as recently as last weekend.
The two policemen killed on Thursday were trying to verify the presence of an armed group sheltering in Beja, about 160km north of the Chaambi region.
The Defence Ministry has admitted lacking the resources needed to confront the jihadist threat, notably equipment to clear the mountainous border region of mines placed by the jihadists, which have proved highly effective against the security forces.
Tunisia was plunged into crisis in July when opposition politician Mohamed Brahmi was shot dead by suspected jihadist gunmen, in circumstances similar to the murder of another opposition MP, Chokri Belaid, six months earlier.
The ruling Islamist party, Ennahda, which shot to power in 2011 parliamentary polls, was forced to announce the formation of a new government in the wake of mass protests against the killings.
Country's opposition alliance last weeks accused the ruling Islamists of holding up the start of negotiations and delaying the formation of the new government.
Tunisia's radical Salafist movement Ansar al-Sharia has been implicated in both killings, with the interior ministry saying its leader, Abou Iyadh, as well as the suspected gunmen themselves, are currently holed up in Mount Chaambi.
Ennahda is frequently accused by the opposition of failing to rein in the jihadist groups.
Source: AFP
Ennahda Party will step down after talks with opposition to form non-partisan interim government before fresh elections.

I went to the Human Resources Building to find that the human resources person was just coming in. She asked me typical questions and then I walked over to the unit director's office. She asked me more challenging questions. She was enthusiastic and eager to have me. They are looking for people that are dedicated and will be hard workers, engaged and eager to be of service to their fellow employees and to the patients. The culture is characterized by one where there are those who work hard and those who do not and there is a friction between the two.

text: This is a continuation of the original caption contest started HERE...by DIS member Uncle Servo. and continued HERE...by DIS member trennr. As of July 2011 your Host is: pkondz Trust me, he's awesome. The original rules will Still apply... I/We'll start things off by posting a Disney-related picture. DISers (that's all of us) submit a funny caption for the picture for a certain number of days -- unless someone has a better idea, we'll start out at 3 days for caption submissions. DISers (again, that's all of us) then vote on whose caption was the best for a certain number of days -- again, we'll use 3 days unless someone has a better suggestion. I'll tally up the votes. Whoever wins posts a picture and we repeat the process. Unlike some of the other contests here, there won't be a separate voting thread -- this'll be a 'one-stop shopping' kinda thing. Game Format: SATURDAY-MONDAY (morning): The winner of the previous round has until noon (Eastern Standard Time) to post a new image. After Picture is posted - WEDNESDAY: Captions are submitted THURSDAY - FRIDAY: Votes are cast FRIDAY (afternoon/evening): Winner is declared. Lather, rinse, repeat. THE RULES ('cuz ya know we gotta have rules or at least 'guidelines' ...) -- PLEASE READ!!!!! All pictures must have been taken on (or of) Disney-owned property. This includes parks, resorts, stores, cruise ships, and Castaway Cay. You must vote to be eligible to win. If you got the most votes, but you yourself didn't vote, then the person with the second most votes wins. In the event of a tie, then whoever gained all of his/her votes first is the winner. You may submit a caption to your own picture if it's your turn to post one. Only one caption per image please. You may edit your caption if you think you have a better one before voting begins -- otherwise only your most recent caption will be considered. Please don't comment on someone else's caption(s) until after voting has begun. You may join in at any time, but please stick with what's going on at the time (i.e., don't post another picture when we're captioning one already or submit another caption when we're voting). No voting for yourself... even if you do think yours is the best... Please remember that the overall DISboards rules of behavior still apply. Hopefully I won't have to ask anyone to edit his/her caption, but if I do please understand that I'm just trying to keep things "family-friendly" here. When it's your turn to post an image, please try to host it yourself if at all possible. If you're posting more than one image, try to post it as a 'two-fer' combo that only gets one caption. I personally would greatly appreciate it if you DID NOT quote the original image when submitting your own caption. Just makes things easier all around. If the winner doesn't post his/her image within the allotted time, the person who had the second highest number of votes will be asked to post an image and declared the winner instead. Be original, be funny, and above all -- HAVE FUN! LAST BUT NOT LEAST: I'd like to thank everyone for posting their images (when its their turn) and playing along to keep this game going.

Dominican Republic Human Rights Issue
On February 25th, thousands of demonstrators marched in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, to protest against racism and ongoing mistreatment of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic, after a Haitian man was found hanging from a tree. With our guest, we discuss how this incident has increased the already tense relationship between the two Caribbean nations.
Ediberto Roman, Director of Immigration Initiatives at Florida International University
NOTE: Contact Ediberto Roman at email@example.com if you know any Haitian or someone of Haitian descent affected by the Dominican Republic's constitutional court ruling.
Influencing Black Youth
On February 24th, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it found no sufficient evidence to charge George Zimmerman with federal civil rights violation in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The DOJ also closed its case against Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, with no additional charges for the killing of Michael Brown. But, they did find "systemic racial discrimination by the Ferguson Police and the court system against African-Americans". How does our culture affect black youth? Do they stand a fighting chance?

Cholera lawsuit against United Nations
On January 9, a U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by human rights lawyers seeking compensation for the victims of cholera. Scientific studies have shown that the cholera epidemic that broke out in Haiti in 2010, killing over 8,000 Haitians and making over 600,000 ill, was likely introduced in Haiti by U.N. peacekeepers from Nepal.

The Death of Jean-Claude Duvalier
Former Haitian President Jean-Claude Duvalier, nicknamed "Baby Doc", died in Port-au-Prince at the age of 63 on Saturday, October 4, from a heart attack. Duvalier ruled Haiti from 1971 to 1986 until a popular uprising forced him to exile to France. Duvalier returned to Haiti in 2011. With our guests, we talked about whether Duvalier would ever have been tried for his alleged crimes against the Haitian people.Guests:

New Dominican Republic Naturalization Law
After months of local protest and international pressure against the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court's ruling, lawmakers passed a new law which will set a system to grant naturalization to Dominican-born children of immigrants -- including a significant number of immigrants or Haitian descents. Still, many think that this regularization plan will only resolve the problem for a limited number with documents, since many others are living in the country without documentation.

Alan Dart Leprechaun knitting pattern
i am in urgent need of this pattern or one similar. I have a refus leprechaun one but don't like his hat.
You might want to visit Alan Dart's site, the ONLY Place you can buy his products. When you sidestep the creator of original works, it's like sticking your hand in his pocket, and picking it. People like Alan Dart are creating and then marketing their original works..please pay them for the privilege of using their products! It's the only way to keep people creating things for us ALL to use...don't they deserve being paid for the fruit of their labors?
thanks for the replies ladies. I did email Alan Dart and his reply was i have to wait until February before he will make the pattern available again.
I do not want to have to wait that long so that is why i asked for help.
I am willing to pay,i don't expect it for nothing. I am a crafter and appreciate the work that goes into his designs

450-60 gallon Old Oak Whisky Barrels in Atlanta?
Do any of you know of good places to buy 50-60 gallon oak whisky barrels in the area around Atlanta (say, an hour drive radius around the city)? Something in the range of a price of less than $75/barrel? A lot of them come from good ol' Kentucky, but shipping prices of them are outrageous when looking online.
I want to purchase 3-4 of them for collecting water from downspouts. I am thinking of installing an automatic irrigation system in my yard that taps off of these instead of my water main. That way, I'm preventing more water run-off into the storm sewers (for every new house developed in the city of Atlanta, the less surface area for water to be absorbed into the soil), am not utilizing stressed water systems during our typical drought period in August/September (unless hurricanes come through, of course), and I can tap pumps directly to the barrels and don't have to worry about my DIY-self causing a water-main burst as I try and tap into it.
Yes, I will do all I can to keep mosquitoes from being fostered in the barrels (sealed tightly or screen on any exposed areas), and will be sure to monitor the barrels for them. I don't want to inadvertantly create an environmental hazard.
Empty plastic 55 gallon drums can be had for around $10 from companies that use chemicals delivered in them. They are easy to wash out with detergent or liquid dish soap. I just got a metal one from Jiffy Lube for free that I used to extend the exhaust from my AC unit. Just make sure the chemicals that came in it weren't something really hazardous.
I heard you can also get ones that food products were delivered in. One site I found says "I bought reconditioned food grade plastic barrels at a used container place. If you can get larger ones, you won't have to connect them together. This will save time and money. Look in the yellow pages under containers or barrels - used. I paid $15 each for four 55 gallon drums."
last year Kroger sold Jack Daniels half-barrels for $15 each.... I've been watching like a hawk for them to start up again, and I'll let you know if they do. I want at least 3 more :)
Bought one last year from Wal-Mart for the same reason. It was about $40...wish I'd have bought a couple. Maybe I'll go check again for another?
Good website for how to put a rain barrel together....
Hello Quirkyquercus,
I wanted the real-thing in terms of the full, sealable, wooden barrels. I actually already laid down the money for them. Shipping was pricey . . . about $40/barrel (each barrel weighs 115 lbs. unfilled). They were air-freighted to Hartsfield-Jackson. I'll be picking them up tomorrow.
Okay, and I need to do better about proofreading my titles. I proofread the message, but then noticed that I accidentally had a '4' in front of the 50.
I know it's further than you want to drive but I bought an authentic sealed Wild Turkey whiskey barrel from a little garden decor place in Anniston which is about 30 miles West of the GA State Line on the Alabama Side. Not sure how many gallons it is as I use mine for a rustic looking trash can. I'd guess 45+ gal comparing it to the size of one of my large rubbermaid trashcans.
I got this 3 years ago and at the time it was $40. If anyone else is ever interested I can always stop by that place anytime I go for groceries and see if they still sell them and how much.
I want to get more and put them under my downspouts for rain collection too but I suppose I need gutters first lol. Maybe next year.
Sincerely, Danielle
Thought I'd post the pic if anyone wanted to see it.
This sucker is heavy! It was sealed tight...didn't have a removeable lid just a corked hole on the side. I cut the top off with a reciprocating saw, screwed a couple of 1x4 slats going perpendicular to the underside of the lid slats so that it would help hold them all together once the lid was cut free. Then screwed an iron drawer pull to the top for a handle. The smell of the whiskey could almost knock you out when it was opened. Still smelled of whiskey for a good year lol!
My husband is looking for several whisky barrels for the use of garbage cans. If you are in the neighborhood, please stop in and see if the little garden decor place in Anniston has any available and the price. Thank you in advance.
sounds like alot of interest in these babies. i used to buy them by the truckload from a distillery in albany area back in the mid 70's. likely sources closer than ken. are available. why don't you all get together and do a group buy.
personally i'm looking for used food grade plastic barrels in the north metro area... alph to canton. cheap!! anybody recommend a source?
Yes, I can recomend a source..
I got a FREE 55 gallon blue plastic barrell at a carwash.
SOmetimes they send them back to be re-used but I asked real nice and got it for free.
Mosquitos are a problem yes, a tiny bit of bleach will keep them out and not harm the plants( please research the ratio before using bleach.) you only need a little bit.
They are predicting heavy droughts this year and next... so I think it's very wise of yall to do this.

House passes bill to delay health care subsidies
Thursday - 9/12/2013, 5:12pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House passed a bill Thursday to ban new subsidies to help people buy health insurance until the Obama administration enacts a new verification system to ensure benefits go only to those who are eligible.
Democrats say the bill, which has no chance in the Democratic-controlled Senate, would unnecessarily delay subsidies slated to start next year. The White House has threatened a veto.
Thursday's vote was the 41st by House Republicans to repeal, de-fund or change the health care law since it was passed in 2010 without a single Republican vote. A few changes have been enacted, but the effort has largely been unsuccessful.
The 235-191 vote was mostly along party lines, with Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed.
This week, House Republican leaders delayed voting on a bill to fund the government beyond the end of the month after some GOP lawmakers complained the measure didn't adequately withhold funding for the health care law. If the impasse persists, it could result in a partial government shutdown at the end of the month.
"Delay, de-fund, repeal, replace. That is exactly what we want to do, because this law has become so amazingly unpopular with the American people," said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.
Under the law, many low- and middle-income families that don't get health insurance through work will be eligible for subsidies to help buy insurance through state-based exchanges. Eligibility is based on income.
Republicans say there aren't enough safeguards to prevent fraud. They say federal regulations issued over the summer would enable people to get subsidies without adequately verifying their income. The bill would delay the subsidies until the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services certifies that they will only go to people who are eligible.
"This bill would protect American taxpayers from the staggering amount of fraud and abuse in Obamacare exchanges," said Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn. the main sponsor of the bill.
Under the law, people applying for subsidies will be asked to estimate their family incomes for 2014. Open enrollment starts next month.
Income estimates will be checked against tax and Social Security records, according to the Obama administration. If there are significant discrepancies, there will be additional checks using information from a credit rating agency. If taxpayers still get more subsidies than they are entitled to, they may have to repay part or all of them when they file their federal tax returns the following year.
Democrats note that the subsidies will be paid directly to insurance companies, making it even more difficult for people to profit from fraud. Taxpayers will receive benefits through reduced premiums.
"Your bill will do nothing but prevent millions of hard-working American families from gaining affordable health care coverage," said Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J.

State Education Agencies' Implementation of Consolidated Planning at the Local Level

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO provided information on the impact of federal requirements on local school districts, focusing on how some states may not be fully implementing the provisions of federal law that allow local school districts to submit consolidated plans for federal funding.
GAO noted that: (1) under the 1994 Improving America's Schools Act, local school districts may submit a consolidated plan to the state when applying for funding from more than one of several major education programs; (2) however, although this federal law explicitly provides this option to school districts, some states may be denying their school districts the opportunity to use consolidated planning; (3) in GAO's survey of the 50 state education agencies, 7 states reported that they require school districts to submit separate plans for all the programs covered under the law; (4) consequently, local school districts in these states may be unable to take advantage of the increased program coordination and administrative savings that consolidated planning can provide; and (5) although GAO recognize that the Department of Education has provided guidance to the states on this topic, the Department may wish to consider increasing its technical assistance efforts in this area.

Hack and / - Temper Temper
If loving Linux ever became a crime and I were hauled into court, I think the prosecution's argument would go something like this:
Your honor, I need to submit only two pieces of evidence to make my case. First, I present Exhibit A: a stack of Linux Journal magazines of which the defendant is a columnist.
And your second piece of evidence?
Your honor, the defendant's refrigerator is powered by Linux.
(The audience gasps.) Order! I've heard enough! Guilty!
I can't help it. I mean, why wouldn't you power your fridge with Linux if you had the chance? In my case, we recently purchased a new fridge for our house, which meant our spare fridge was headed for the garage where I would use it for beer fermentation. Fridges are well-insulated, and it seemed ideal for the task at hand, but the problem I ran into was that the built-in thermostat for the fridge would go up to only around 45–50°F at its warmest. To ferment ales, I needed to maintain temperatures between 60–72°F.
When most people convert fridges to ferment beer, they purchase a purpose-built device from their local brew shop. Essentially, you plug your fridge in to the device, plug the device in to the wall, and then set the analog thermostat on the device to your desired temperature. A temperature probe goes into your fridge, and when it gets too warm, the fridge is powered on. These devices range from around $70 to more than $100, depending on whether they are analog or digital, and I almost bought one until I realized I could do the same thing with an old Linux laptop, a couple pieces of hardware and a few scripts.
If you are into home automation at all, you are familiar with the X10 suite of home automation gadgets. Essentially, you can connect lamps and appliances to different X10 gadgets and then power them on with a remote control. There's even a remote control that connects to a serial port, so you can control everything from a computer. Linux has a program called bottlerocket that works great with X10 serial port controllers, and I had used one to control my DSL modem for many years, but that's something for another column.
So, I had a laptop and could control the fridge power, but I still needed a thermometer that worked under Linux and was relatively cheap. I discovered a great little USB-powered thermometer made by a company named TEMPer. It's small, cheap (less than $15 shipped), supports temperatures between –40°C and +120°C, and with a little effort, it works under Linux. It turns out many Linux administrators are using these devices to monitor temperatures in their data centers.
Apparently, the older versions of this thermometer showed up as a USB-to-serial interface; however, the newer models, including the one I bought, show up as a USB Human Interface Device when you plug it in:
Apr 16 14:44:33 muriel kernel: [11601.992205] usb 1-1: ↪new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 Apr 16 14:44:33 muriel kernel: [11602.182910] usb 1-1: ↪configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Apr 16 14:44:33 muriel kernel: [11602.188481] usb 1-1: ↪New USB device found, idVendor=1130, idProduct=660c Apr 16 14:44:33 muriel kernel: [11602.188529] usb 1-1: ↪New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Apr 16 14:44:33 muriel kernel: [11602.188563] usb 1-1: ↪Product: PCsensor Temper Apr 16 14:44:35 muriel kernel: [11604.090148] usbcore: ↪registered new interface driver hiddev Apr 16 14:44:35 muriel kernel: [11604.119323] input: ↪PCsensor Temper as /class/input/input7 Apr 16 14:44:35 muriel kernel: [11604.140885] input,hidraw0: ↪USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [ PCsensor Temper] ↪on usb-0000:00:07.2-1 Apr 16 14:44:35 muriel kernel: [11604.170151] input: ↪PCsensor Temper as /class/input/input8 Apr 16 14:44:35 muriel kernel: [11604.188677] input,hidraw1: ↪USB HID v1.10 Device [ PCsensor Temper] ↪on usb-0000:00:07.2-1 Apr 16 14:44:35 muriel kernel: [11604.188931] usbcore: ↪registered new interface driver usbhid Apr 16 14:44:35 muriel kernel: [11604.188980] usbhid: ↪v2.6:USB HID core driver
At first I thought I could get the temperature from this thermometer through some /proc or /sys interface, but unfortunately, the thermometer is more proprietary than that. The Linux community is resourceful though, and a quick search turned up a number of guides on how to pull the temperature from Linux (see Resources for the most helpful guide I found). Essentially, you need to install a few custom Perl modules, including a special one created just for this device that depends on Perl 5.10, so you need a relatively new distribution for this to work (I used the latest stable Debian release).

It's not always easy to create the time and space necessary to figure out what a partner organization really needs from the library, but for a strong community partnership, it's well worth the investment.
But "community partnership" is a pretty vague term. I should probably clarify what I'm talking about.

Hi: 11° Lo:3°
By Matthew Bates Thursday 31 January 2013 Updated: 31/01 10:01
A TRUST set up to run major city attractions will be run by the boss of Coventry Transport Museum.
Gary Hall is to become chief executive of the trust overseeing the musem, Herbert Art Gallery, Priory Visitors Centre and the Lunt Roman Fort.
It takes over from the Transport Museum Trust and the Heritage and Arts Trust, which was headed by Ludo Keston. He wished Mr Hall well and is to work closely with the new trust during the transition.
A review published last year recommended the move in a bid to save the city council £400,000.
Coun Ed Ruane, cabinet member for leisure and culture, said: "The Belgrade, Coventry Transport Museum and the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum are all jewels in Coventry's cultural crown, attracting thousands of visitors every year from across the world.
"The city's cultural offer plays a key part in the regeneration of Coventry, and we want to make sure our cultural attractions have a viable future, are as efficient as possible and can market themselves effectively to local, regional and national audiences so they can grow and succeed in the future.
"It's really important we have someone in place to begin the challenging work ahead in bringing together both trusts, and I'm delighted Gary is looking forward to taking on the role."
Council chief executive Martin Reeves added: "We had two incredibly strong and talented candidates to interview, and are delighted Gary has accepted the offer to head up the new cultural trust."

Price on the New Deal and the Federalization of the Mosquito
Polly J. Price (Emory) has posted Federalization of the Mosquito: Structural Innovation in the New Deal Administrative State, Emory Law Journal vol. 60 (2010). The abstract:
Malaria was a significant problem in the southern United States during the early decades of the twentieth century. Part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal focused on economic development of the South, with improvement of public health in that region as an integral part. This Article is a case study of increased federal public health efforts during the New Deal and World War II eras, which replaced some traditionally state and local areas of control. Efforts to "federalize" the mosquito encountered significant limitations, and never accomplished primary federal responsibility for the eradication of malaria. One federal agency in particular - the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas - institutionalized the federal response to malaria in the South during World War II. This assertion of wartime jurisdiction maintained only nominally the primacy of state authority.
The New Deal administrative state saw structural experimentation and innovation at a grand level; this Article's study of federal efforts to combat malaria in the southern United States provides a good example. In one decade, federal efforts ranged from Works Progress Administration employment, experiments with scientific expertise within the Tennessee Valley Authority, federal intervention in civilian areas as a war strength rationale, and malaria control by federal appropriation. The most significant step resulted from reorganization of the New Deal administrative state under the Federal Security Agency, an independent agency of the U.S. government established pursuant to the Reorganization Act of 1939.
From a federalization perspective, a critical point is that the federal government initiated a malaria eradication effort with broad jurisdiction that helped reshape public perception of the federal government's responsibilities. It did so under a "national security" mandate that blurred the distinction between domestic and international security, with an effect on the federal government's regulatory power. But the federal government then withdrew from this wartime assertion of jurisdiction, leaving public health federalism largely unchanged.
The New Deal and of the rise of the administrative state had some significant land use stories that are not as well known as they should be.

Again - Where to find 3 way wiring help
I want to bring power in at a 3 way switch box to feed 5 lights with the other 3 way switch - a dimmer - at the end of the circuit. How do I accomplish this?
assuming all five lights are on same circuit already you need to have power from the source (circuit breaker) go to the FIRST 3way dimmer switch, then through the five lights, then to the LAST 3 way dimmer switch. That way the first and last switch control the lights...must use 3 way dimmers (obviously) and four-wire wire with the extra wire as the "common" line...you may need to rewire the entire circuit with the four-wire--check either Home Depot's DIY book OR Time's DIY book. If I check myself I will post again.

Dolphins Drafting another Offensive Lineman named Martin?
The Dolphins Drafted a promising offensive tackle named Jonathan Martin from Stanford in the 2nd round of the 2012 draft. There was a lot of hope and expectations for this young man, who protected Andrew Luck's blindside in college, however I think Phins Nation, and the rest of the world knows how that story ended up. Now 2 years later, the Dolphins are still looking to draft another offensive lineman, and many football gambling fans are betting that the Dolphins will be using their first round pick on another Offensive tackle with the Surname of Martin; Zack Martin.
Zack Martin is 6'4, weighs around 308, ran a 5.05 40 time, and played at Norte Dame. He did not run at the combine, however he was one of the most impressive players there, and at the Senior Bowl, where he demonstrated that he has the ability to stay at Left Tackle in the NFL. He was excellent in pass protection last year for the Fighting Irish, and was very effective at picking up blitzers off the edge, which will be something he will see a lot more of in the NFL. A lot of football analysts are comparing Martin to Justin Pugh, who was drafted by the New York Giants last year, and ended up being their starting right tackle. He played excellent last season, and many football gambling fans have argued that he may have played the best out of any of the Tackles that were drafted in the first round last year, which included the likes of Eric Fisher, Lane Johnson, Luke Joeckel and D.J. Fluker. Not a bad comparison.
The last game of the regular season he got the chance to go up against the nation's leading sack leader from Stanford, named Trent Murphy, and not only did he not allow a sack, but he totally dominated him, and reduced Murphy to being a non-factor in the game. The one knock on Martin is that he could add on a few pounds, and with a rigorous NFL weight lifting program this shouldn't be that big of a concern. Look at Jonathan Martin, coming into last season he was said to have gained around 20 pounds of muscle from his rookie season.
Martin is projected as a top 25 pick, and many mock drafts have the Dolphins deciding to try their luck, on this former Fighting Irish stand-out. All the reviews on this young man, point towards a starting player in the NFL, and there is no reason why he wouldn't be able to play Right Tackle for the Dolphins in his Rookie season. The Dolphins need to draft someone in the first round that is going to start 16 games this upcoming season, and the Dolphins still have a hole at one of their tackle spots, so football gambling fans would say this seems like a good match made in football heaven.
