Hola Costa Rica
... we were given and it says 1015 bus to Liberia, go to our office and hand them the ticket. We approach what looks like 'the office' and it's closed and it's 0915. Our pick up was in Liberia at 1515 and without having a clue how far away that was, stress levels were rising as we stood for long periods without moving an inch in this massive line. 1000 rolls around and we have barely moved and looks like another good hour in it. So I go for a walk to find help. I use my very ...
Cloud forest - monteverde
... clear day so unfortunately there was little cloud in the cloud forest but was nice and warm and no sign of rain so that was a bonus. We first went to the hummingbird place and it was like a small garden and they'd put up nectar feeders so they would come and hover around. One bad thing was that because the feeders have been there for years the birds have become dependant on them so Jeff was saying that if they were to ...

Hopefully when we go to the cloud forest we'll see more. And yes Peg, I got a picture!

Strand Bamboo
As a disclaimer... I'm not a flooring installer or contractor by trade, but I have completed many home repairs and improvements over the past 5 years. I've done a lot of reading (on this site and others), but I understand I'm not an expert and may be headed down the wrong path.
We are planning to install strand bamboo flooring in our kitchen. We have decided to go with Cali Bamboo, but we are still trying to decide between a couple of options. This will be installed as a floating (click-lock) floor. The subfloor is 5/8 plywood over 16" on center floor joists.
Here are the two options we are considering.
1) Laying the "Solid Bamboo Click Flooring" (which is 9/16 x 5 1/8 x 72 7/8) directly over the existing subfloor. Total thickness: 2.5mm underlayment + 9/16" flooring = 0.66"
2) Putting down layer of 3/8" plywood on top of the existing subfloor, and then laying the "Economy Solid Click Lock Bamboo Flooring" (which is 3/8 x 3 3/16 x 36) over the 3/8" plywood. Total thickness: 3/8" plywood + 2.5mm underlayment + 3/8" flooring = 0.85"
In either case, we will be using the recommended underlayment / moisture barrier and the flooring will run perpendicular to / across the floor joists.
Option 1 would result in the kitchen floor being closer to the same height as the other floors in the house, but I feel like beefing up the subfloor (option 2) would make for a more solid floor in the end.
Would we be asking for trouble if we don't add to the subfloor?
Here is a link that might be useful: Cali Bamboo
5/8" subfloor sounds a bit thin but my preference would be to have the thicker floor material. All click-lock floors will have a little give so between the give in the floor underlayment and the give in the subfloor you might have some noticeable movement.

On his last visit to Australia Bill Callahan performed at a ski resort atop a mountain in Victoria. He also appeared at Sydney Festival. This time however, Bill C. has swapped the great Australian outdoors for the great Australian indoors and will perform three exclusive east coast shows: Tuesday 26th May at Melbourne's Hamer Halland Thursday 28th and Friday 29th May for Vivid Live at the Sydney Opera House. Four dudes, one harmonica, two electric guitars, one glitter-painted bass, barely half a drum kit and six lights is all it took to conquer the behemoth of a room transforming it into a gig with the cosiness of a chamber music recital. Review – Royal Festival Hall, London 2014. In the years between Australian visits Callahan has released two albums proper, including the acclaimed Dream River featuring the Australian alternative radio hits Javelin Unlanding and Small Plane. Elsewhere Dream River kicked goals too landing at no.44 on the UK mainstream charts and picking up a five star review and the album of the year gong by influential English mag Mojo.
New track from Yumi Zouma, EP 1 & 2 out March 13
Following the release of their 'Catastrophe' video, Yumi Zouma now share new single 'Song for Zoe & Gwen'. Lush and endearing, 'Song for Zoe & Gwen' is one of the few Yumi songs that started before the band ever released music in a public way, but was completed after their debut EP was unveiled last year. Zoe, the track's protagonist, was Charlie Ryder's (from Yumi Zouma) date to the 7th form ball. 'Song For Zoe & Gwen' is taken from Yumi Zouma's forthcoming EP II, out March 13 via Spunk Records / Cascine. The single reached #1 on the Hype Machine chart overnight, adding to the buzz that has been circulating Yumi Zouma this past year. The group will showcase their new EP at a number of SXSW showcases this April. Stay tuned for local tour plans.

New signing Nadia Reid; on tour next week
A richness of voice; a depth of emotion; wisdom beyond her years; with brand new record Listen To Formation, Look For the Signs, Nadia Reid has claimed her place as one of New Zealand's most evocative and profound young songwriters. First single is the beautiful call the days https://soundcloud.com/spunkrecords/nadia-reid-call-the-days
With Nadia's youth spent in the company of the folk clubs and indie scene of Dunedin and Christchurch, Reid connected with the pre-and-post-quake Christchurch music milieu and quickly garnered a reputation among her peers for her penetrating songs belying her young age. Now with Listen to Formation, Reid has a philosophical maturity that reflects on love and life's blazes with a measure of intricacy and courage within the melancholy.
Listen To Formation, Look For the Signs is out March 27 on CD and Digitally. Vinyl will follow. Nadia's first Australian shows take place next month at the Melbourne Folk Club at the Bella Union on Wednesday 4th March and the Yarra Hotel on Thursday 5th March.

Chinese delegation visits Lancaster to develop joint International Research and Innovation Centre
Scientists and business leaders from China visited Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) last week to develop plans for the International Research and Innovation Centre for the Environment (IRICE). Their visit builds on the IRICE launch in Guangzhou earlier this year.
IRICE is a joint initiative between the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Lancaster University (LU). Two CAS Institutes lead the engagement - the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry (GIG) and Institute of Urban Environment (IUE), Xiamen and has been endorsed and supported by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).
The over-arching purpose of IRICE is to provide a vehicle to enable the partners and collaborators to conduct collaborative world class research on environmental issues of global concern and support environmental innovation and research, business and consultancy on environmental topics and technologies.
The 14 guests from China included business leaders from Guangdong Province (Dr Lu Zeng, Director of Exchange and Cooperation Division, Mr Zhitong Zhang Deputy Director of Business, Education and Research from Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology and Mr Xuan Jia, Science and Technology Bureau, Foshan City), scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Professor Jun Guo, Vice-president and CCP Secretary General, Guangzhou Branch, Mr Xiaofeng Lu , CAS Bureau of International Cooperation, Professor Gan Zhang, Deputy Director of Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Ms Ping Xia, Deputy Director of Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Ms Wei Wen, Director of Foreign Affairs Office, Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Mr Changhua Wang, Deputy Director of CAS Foshan Centre for Environmental Technology and Dr. Chunling Luo, research scientist), a senior scientist from the Pearl River Basin Water Resources Protection Bureau (Professor Xinyuan Liu, Chief Engineer) and senior representation from the Chinese Embassy in London: Mr Futao Chen, Minister Counsellor in Science and Technology, Mr Zhongcheng Wang, First Secretary) and Ms Ming Liu (Head of Science and Innovation) from the British Consulate General Guangzhou.
The new UK-China Centre will grow both research and new business partnerships across China with a focus on innovative solutions for environmental and human health protection. The platform will act as focus for innovation and will create and encourage opportunities for UK business growth specifically in relation to environmental technologies across soil, air and water resource protection.
Speaking about the exciting range of opportunities the Centre will bring Professor Kevin Jones, LEC Director said 'working in and with China has brought tremendous opportunities for us. We are honoured to have hosted our guests and excited by the scale of the ambitions being discussed'.
For further information about IRICE and research/innovation opportunities in China, please email Dr Hong Li.

Tell me about 'Soil Conditioner' from HD
I have some really rich topsoil from the woods that I use for potting up plants. I bought some Home Depot "Soil Conditioner" to mix with it since it is rather heavy and condenses when used for potting, pushing out the oxygen in the confined soil. Ya' know what I think this stuff is? I think it is ground up bark, sand, leaves, and weed/grass clippings from cutting the public roadsides - kinda ike unfinished compost maybe? What do you think is in this bag of stuff? What are your views on this amendment?
P.S. I have huge compost bins and it also gets mixed in with the topsoil but it still does not losen the soil enough for potting up plants.
Nancy the nancedar
Usually it is ground pine bark.
I use permatil to break up clay permanently. Even a small amount mixed in is helpful. Adding organics is great, but over several years, organics will break down and you will have clay again. Permatil is permanent, although I don't think it completely removes the need to continually amend soil with organics as well.
If you took standard pine bark mulch and ran it through a shredder several more times you'd essentially have the same thing as the soil conditioner they sell in the bags at Home Depot and Lowe's.
You can use either as a mulch, but only the ultra-shredded pine bark "fines" make a good soil conditioner. I swear by it, and was taught to use it in master gardening class, as the class "mentor" said that's all he uses for soil conditioner AND for mulch... If you use the regular single-ground or double-ground mulch, it will eventually decompose and incorporate into your soil, thus enriching it and improving its condition... If you don't mind spending a little more money and using the "soil conditioner" as mulch in areas that maybe really need soil conditioning done, but you have existing plants and don't want to disturb their roots, you can do like the MG "mentor" does, and like I now do with some of my younger trees and shrubs where I maybe didn't amend as much as I'd have liked and I also don't have to use so much that it's a financial burden, and use the soil conditioner as a mulch for your plants... Since it's a bit denser, you won't need or want to go quite as thick with it (so you don't keep oxygen from the roots), and since it's already so finely ground, much of it will decompose and be incorporated into the soil by rain and earthworms each year, and you'll need to add more the following year.
The advantage, however, is that after a few years of doing that, and PROPERLY fertilizing (sometimes I just mix in some of the high-yield composted cow manure with the pine bark fines... the 0.5-0.5-0.5 stuff, or I use something like Miracle-Gro), you'll have some incredibly fertile, rich soil around the roots of whatever's growing there and it should be doing good.
You could even top-dress your entire lawn (not that I'm encouraging lawns) with a small amount of fines (say an inch or slightly less), then go over that with an aerator to simultaneously aerate the soil and mix the fines in somewhat and water the lawn, and likely also slowly improve a heavy clay lawn that way.
This truly IS "nature's way." In fact, the brand you USED TO see at both Home Depot and Lowe's was called "Nature's Helper,", but it suddenly disappeared about the time I started buying a bunch of it... My understanding is that the Scott's company (owner of Miracle-Gro, Ortho, and A LOT of other lawn and garden products, pressured both companies retail chains to quit carrying that brand, or something to that effect, but who knows?
You can also buy pine bark fines by the scoop some places, which I've done ONCE, but aside from the fact that you need a trailer or a pickup bed for them to dump them into, there's two other facts that dissuade me from doing that again (I've done it once)...
1. Unlike some other products, the savings didn't add up to that much... maybe the equivalent of getting 3 more bags of the stuff I'd buy at HD or Lowe's for the money.
2. But most importantly, the QUALITY of the fines wasn't nearly as good as what I get in the bags at HD and Lowe's... Sitting out in a big pile, it had already degraded a good bit, so much of the fines had "gone to powder," and it was all VERY DRY. The bagged fines are always moist when they come out of the bag, and of a fairly uniform size, both of which I believe are important to proper soil conditioning.
The bags of fines are usually 2 cubic feet for about $2.50; The high-yield cow manure is generally $1.19 per bag for 1-cubic-foot bags, and the cheap topsoil is generally $.98 for a 1-cubic foot bag... Depending on how fertile I think the soil already is, I generally mix 1 bag of the cheap, high-yield cow manure to 1 or 2 bags of soil conditioner, and then maybe top that with enough of the cheap topsoil to make an even layer... sometimes I'll mix that in, too.
(You can ALSO pay $4 for a bag of .5-.5-.5 "Black Cow" or "Mushroom Compost," but I've found NO benefit except that both HD and Lowe's keep those in stock better... the Earthgro [I think that's the brand] composted manure that's also .5-.5-.5 has the same analysis and looks and feels the same, so I go with that -- One caveat on any "composted manure": I ALWAYS poke a small hole in one bag and take a sniff; if it smells RANK... sulferous, or like a sewer, DON'T buy it -- Wal-Mart had some smelling like that outside, reduced for quick sale at the end of last season... was AWFUL smelling... it's either not DONE composting, or got contaminated.)
Happy Conditionings!
Plenty of container experts tell ya to use a simple mix of "conditioner" or bark fines mixed with compost or coarse sand or topsoil. Whatever the mix it is almost always mostly conditioner with very little obvious compost or other ingrediant. Potted plants need a lot of air to breath and regular garden soil (and plenty of bagged potting mixes) just stay to dense to help out with the air situation. Next time you buy a plant from a nursery check out the media its growing in - more than likely it will appear to be solid "conditioner".
I thought the bags even said "pine bark fines". Anyways, as stated, thats what it is. I use it as a light mulch or to mix in with the soil. I think it's pretty good stuff but it is not anything like compost. I mixed it in with the clay in front and the soil is much better to work with. Of course I have been mulching and topdressing as well for the past few years and it all helps. -Ais.
Nature's Helper is still available at HD's near me. It is a GA product, bagged by Smith Industries of Cleveland, GA. Years ago, our neighborhood would combine an order and they would deliver it(in 3 cu. ft. bags, back then) and dump them on a vacant lot. Minimum order was about 100 bags and they cost $0.75-0.85 per 3 cu. ft. I must have used 1000 bags of it to ammend my solid clay soil and still buy many smaller bags each year, mostly for potting plants. For awhile, HD sold another brand, called Earth Helper. but the quality was not as good, as the size of the fines weren't consistant within the bag and often had to run them through my shredder to reduce the size. I have noticed their stock of other brands of soil ammenmends and mulch has increased, but the one's that sell around here are the one's from Smith Industries, which seem to offer a better product at usually a better price.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewGhirretur is a powerful member of the First and was apart of the group who felt that Altwaal no longer represented the First as a whole and should step down, allowing a council to rule over them instead. Ghirretur was one of the First who vocally expressed this opinion at their grand debates that the First held night after night to discuss this subject. Ghirretur was present during the civil wars that broke out after an assassination was attempted on Altwaal. Ghirretur soon took a seat on House Sinister's High Council when Altwaal ended the war. Because positions on this council are fought for, only the most powerful members of the Sinister First obtained seats. Ghirretur and the rest of the Sinister Council members were next seen giving a portion of their power to Ingra, in order to further her latest plot. Ghirretur was not seen again until Seahn defeated Ingra, taking over House Sinister. Seahn proceeded to defeat the rest of the Sinister Council members, but does not directly fight Ghirretur. Instead, Seahn convinces Minity to seduce Ghirretur, coupling with him and releasing an enough energy to cut another council member, Syeniess, off from her power source. Ghirretur is later seen with fellow council members Minity and Mharrut at a secret meeting with other members of the First, discussing ways to defeat Seahn and take back their House. Ghirretur is next seen trying to help defeat the Hound which pursued Solusandra, the creator of the First, to Elysia. Ghirretur's name means irritation and this attribute was supposed to govern his personality and his title is Ghirretur the Bold. He did not appear again before the series was abruptly canceled after the Crossgen company filed for bankruptcy.

Dahlberg: Heartbreak on his birthday for Mickelson in Open
Dahlberg: Heartbreak on his birthday for Mickelson in Open
ARDMORE, Pa. — This wasn't the way it was supposed to end, not on Phil Mickelson's birthday and not at Merion Golf Club, where history will record with little fanfare outside of England that Justin Rose won his first major championship.
When the rain began falling on the back nine Sunday after Mickelson pitched in for an eagle on the 10th hole to take the lead in the U.S. Open, you half expected a rainbow to appear amid the clouds with a trophy at the end of it and bearing Mickelson's name.

Go Into the Light With These 10 'Poltergeist' FactsScreenCrush Staff March 16, 2015 @ 12:42 PM
If you thought the movie version of Poltergeist was creepy, that's nothing compared to how it was on set. During the film's finale, the production used actual human skeletons instead of props because it was cheaper to buy the real ones. And they wonder why this movie is cursed? This is just one of the facts packed into the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, which focuses on Poltergeist! All are welcome to watch!

|Spurs' Popovich, Duncan to miss another game
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 24 January 2013 12:05
Popovich stayed home sick and Duncan sat on the bench with a sore left knee Wednesday night during San Antonio's 106-102 victory against New Orleans. Longtime assistant coach Mike Budenholzer will again take the helm against the Mavericks.
Duncan is having a resurgent season after a few years of waning production. The 36-year-old is averaging 17.5 points and 9.8 rebounds, his best numbers since 2009-10.
The Spurs have won six straight and are tied with Oklahoma City for the best record in the Western Conference.

With the Ravens signing Marc Bulger to a lucrative backup quarterback contract earlier this week, what's going to happen to Troy Smith? The former Ohio State star has settled in as an NFL backup – his desire to be a starter was noble but unrealistic – but with Bulger around, Smith is unlikely to ever get on the field in Baltimore.
Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun says that if the rumors that Smith could be dealt to Buffalo are true, that would be a win-win for the quarterback and the Ravens. Though his chance of playing in Buffalo would be far greater, Smith would still not be the front-runner in the Bills' quarterback competition. Smith is a good athlete, but he simply doesn't have an NFL caliber arm.

It's the scoop of a lifetime. But who's lifetime?
With the Russian mafia on her trail, freewheeling Suki is soon trying to stay one step ahead of the goons and the guns--and leaving in her wake a mix of sunken Cadillacs, abandoned Cold War missile silos, empty vodka bottles, and the occasional corpse. With only the mild-mannered Aaron, his slightly demented father Sam, and an old gangster named Bert the Shirt as allies, can she possibly survive the squeeze?
Posted May 25, 2007
To read the reviews by the 'pros' here one would think that Shames had fallen into a trap that 'series' authors encounter often - they grow too fond of their principal characters. The only recurring character here, the likable 'Bert the Shirt', plays a supporting role and is shown to be all too human. Here Shames abandons some of the more humurous aspects of prior novels to concentrate on character development and scene-setting. The plot moves briskly and seamlessly. The Russian 'mobsters' are less menacing than their Mafia counterparts in prior novels but there are still plenty of moments of suspense. If you have read the entire series, this may well turn out to be one of your favorites. A little less like Hiaasen, a little more like James W. Hall, than his prior Key West tomes, but this is not a negative, just a change. The wit is still there, and this book is a good read.

No real spoilers here, since it can all be pieced together from trailers: the Dreadnought crashes into the harbor and momentum carries it well into the city. Harrison dusts himself off, hangs out the broken viewscreen and stares at the damage below. He then somehow gets out of the ship and runs like hell through various windows.
Now for the spoiler part:
Spock vows vengeance after Kirk's death and the obligatory "KHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!" scream, and likely beams down to beat the living, genetically-enhanced shit out of him. The fight scene on the barges ensues. I haven't seen the movie, just surmised this from the trailers, but I hope there's a more climactic ending than this.
You have the basic idea right, but...
Both Spock and Uhura pursue Khan because McCoy needs his blood to save Kirk. Don't know if Spock does the Khan scream, but someone other than Kirk does...

Recent reviews:
December 7, 2014 - i got the blue one, and it is the exact picture in the color. it does have a weird dark blue blemish on one side, but i'm ok with that because it shows that it is a natural product and that's how it came out. i was going to get the purple one, but i got another tagua pendant in purple so thought i'd switch it up. a word of warning about the blue, the tree is just as light as it depicts in the picture, it doesn't show up quite as well as the purple does. i am still keeping it and will probably order the purple one next time these go on sale. also it comes with a pretty hokey cord and is only held in place by a matching square stone that is held with a large loophole. while it's nice that it matches, i will probably switch the chain because i don't trust such a light necklace to stay latched in such a flimsy way. 3/17/15-update: i ordered the purple necklace on my last order, and the design does show up much better than the blue one. :)
July 10, 2014 - I have always liked the tree of life and wearing it seemed just the right thing to do. This necklace is very light in weight and delicate. It feels like plastic.
April 8, 2014 - Got the purple necklace for myself and turquoise for daughter..we both love the necklace!
December 25, 2013 - Got the turquoise one of these. Very pretty, loved the elegance of it.
December 21, 2013 - Purchased all three colors for my nieces. I believe they will love that they are all similar designs and similar necklaces, but each unique-just like they are. All of them are beautiful. And they will love the cause behind the necklace.

A manwho allowed his dog to worry sheep has been fined £830.
Neil Rowe, 40, of Bannings Vale, Saltdean, appeared at Brighton Magistrates' Court, where he pleaded guilty to allowing his dogs to worry livestock at Kirby Farm, Telscombe Cliffs, in May and July and on Telscombe Tye in June.
The incident on the Tye resulted in the deaths of three ewes and two lambs.
PC David Tourell said: "This is an offence that we take very seriously.
"The vast majority of dog owners are very responsible, keeping their animals on leads around livestock and ensuring that they are under control at all times.
"Unfortunately, it only takes a single irresponsible or careless dog owner to create havoc among livestock, often with devastating consequences for the animals and for owners.
"Offenders will be prosecuted and it is quite possible that if found guilty, their dogs will be ordered to be destroyed.
"Nobody involved wanted that to happen in this case, but I would urge people to really think about what could happen if they don't keep their dogs under control."

LOOKING for: Molasses Cookies
I love Archway Molasses Cookies. Does anyone have a tried and true molasses cookie recipe? I bought a jar of molasses last week to use in a recipe and it only called for a quarter cup, so I have lots of molasses to use up. I'd love to make some cookies!
Here's the recipe I have used for years and years..It's from Betty Crocker I think....
One of the things that I love about it, other than the great flavor and texture is that it can be made quickly, because there is no butter to soften.
I often hardly chill the dough...
Here is a link that might be useful: Molasses Chews
I like this one. Don't know if it's similar to Archway or not but they taste good. It calls for a dab of chocolate icing on the top of each but I don't bother:
SOFT MOLASSES DROP COOKIES (about 3 dozen)
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cider vinegar
2 TBL water
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup raisins (definitely optional)
Chocolate frosting
Preheat oven to 350°. Beat the shortening & sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in the molasses, egg & 3 TBL of the flour.
Sift together the remaining flour & other dry ingredients. Mix together the vinegar, water & buttermilk. Add alternately to the molasses mixture & beat batter until it's very smooth. Stir in raisins, if using.
Drop tsp of the mixture onto greased cookie sheets. Flatten dough if desired. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool. Top each cookie with a dime-sized round of chocolate frosting.~~Craig Claiborne
Here's mine, but I think they are very similar to Terry's.
2/3 cup cooking oil
1 cup white sugar
4 Tbsp molasses
1 egg
Stir together above ingredients, then add:
2 cups sifter flour
2 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp salt
Make small balls. Roll in sugar. Bake 1" apart on ungreased baking sheet at 350 for 15 minutes.
My grandmother had a recipe, from one of her friends (this would be from the 1940's). Here it is right off the recipe card from her old box of recipes. They knew how to make cookies, all they needed were the ingredients. My grandmother baked in an old black stove, so temperature is just a guess.
IngaÂs soft molasses cookies
½ cup melted shortening
1 cup molasses
2 eggs beaten
1 ¼ cups sifted flour
4 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
½ cup milk
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp lemon extract
Bake in hot oven (375° for about 10  12 minutes)
Here's a recipe from Cooks Illustrated for Molasses Spice Cookies. This might be what you are looking for.
Wow, thanks for all the responses. Roselin, I will check out the Cookie and Christmas Cookies threads here. Thanks so much.
Momj47 I couldn't open the link for Molasses Spice Cookies. For some reason my computer doesn't read pdf files. I have no clue. Thanks for the recipe and I loved the picture of your grandmother's stove!
Mom made these very often when we were kids--and to half of the dough she'd add raisins for my father. they were always coated with pink icing.
ginger cream cookies
beat together:
1/2 C shortening
1 C sugar
2 eggs
1 C molasses
4 C flour, more or less
1 C hot water
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp each: salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves
chill the dough and drop onto a greased sheet (they will spread out a fair amount when cooking). bake at 400 for 8 minutes.
I just got this from Land 'o Lakes.......have made their gingrebread cookies before as well as a lot of their other recipes and have never been disappointed.
These cut-out cookies will charm your Halloween guests.
Preparation time: 1 hrs Baking time: 8 min
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
Cookie Ingredients:
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Frosting Ingredients:
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
Decorator sugars
Combine butter, sugar, molasses, egg and vinegar in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining ingredients. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.
Divide dough into thirds; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight).
Heat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on surface lightly covered with equal mixture of flour and sugar, one portion at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with assorted 2 to 3-inch cookie cutters.
Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until no indention remains when touched. Let stand 1 minute. Cool completely.
Combine all frosting ingredients except milk and decorator sugars in small bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often and gradually adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Decorate cooled cookies with frosting and decorator sugars, as desired.

Anyone using passive solar to heat your shed?
We'll be building a small-ish (13x16' or so) this Spring and I'm looking for some ideas to heat it because I'll probably be working in it from time to time in cool weather. It won't have electricity running to it so I'm looking for some kind of passive solar heat possibly.
I keep looking at the ideas for the soda can passive heaters but haven't been able to find a real convincing set of results. Any ideas?
I made several simple collector can projects two years ago. Looked at whether a core box could be used for a number of things -- tomato dryer in summer, solar cooker, maybe hooking up to window if power went out in winter.
I used soda cans sprayed flat black. Used hi temp but doubt if it was needed. I just used what insulations were on hand. Temps were in the mid 120's as I recall.
Maybe a solar dog house would've been the best use?
One box had 8oz seperate cans full of sand, the the other had linked empty cans glued together, the box at a angle.
3 words: Rocket Mass Heater for a frugal efficient heat source. I have a solar greenhouse as well, but in my case it would be hard to have a solar workshop due to where I live. A lot depends on your location and usage of the building I think, Insulate the shed well and install venting that fits for what you will be using the shed for. IE if you will be painting etc inside.

With no electricity, lack of lighting may be more of a problem than lack of heat. I bought a ready made 12x24 storage building a couple of years ago with two 24x24 inch windows and a 48 inch door, but it was so dark inside, even with the door open, I finally had to run electricity to the building. Of course you can fix that with solar lights if you can find some that don't cost a fortune. I have no input on the solar heat.
I bought some solar lights, mostly the cheap kind, some at the dollar store. Used them in the back yard in the garden area to show the VHS tape gently moving with the wind (and hopefully keeping the deer away from my tomatoes).
The battery store had replacement batteries at $1.50, but the whole light was only a buck to start with! Rust or corrosion made the light worthless at six to eighteen months.
I like the idea of having a half dozen lights that can be moved into the house during a power outage. One ice storm the power was out for five days. Leave the solar light outside to charge during the day and bring it inside after sundown.
FWIW, my barn is 24 X 48 with 10' side walls. I discovered a way to ...not heat it....but make it bearable was to use my gas grill. I store the gas grill in there during the winter and decided to see what one burner on low would do. It made a difference and provided a handy "hand warming" source as well. Obviously ventilation is a consideration.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?
Latin, literally "of law," thus "legitimate, lawful, by right of law, required by law." Jure is ablative of ius (see just (adj.)).
Determined by law. In the American South, racial segregation was de jure, but in the North, it was de facto.

Recently I've been helping review startups in the Cloud Management Tools category, and my main advice was that this is a broad sector and so focus needs to be sharpened to a granular level of specific niches within the overall space.
A good introduction to this broad base is conveyed in this Network World article – 16 of the Most Useful Cloud Management Tools.
They describe a growing ecosystem of players across a number of main capability areas:
- Provisioning and automation
- Enterprise Cloud Management
- Cloud Metrics and Cost Optimization
- Application Transformation & Migration
- Cloud Service Brokerage
Provisioning and automation
The principle function of automating deployment of apps to Cloud providers is met by Cloud industry stalwarts like Rightscale through to distributed computing experts Gigaspaces.
Options like enStratus also add security controls like Key Management. See the relevance of this here.
Puppet Labs provides this type of automation and specializes in automating the developer lifecycle and thus 'DevOps'.
Enterprise Cloud Management
A critical battleground will be where these new options meet with the existing incumbent supplier base that currently services the traditional IT management field, vendors such as BMC, Computer Associates, HP, IBM and VMware.
The biggest Cloud consideration for CIOs is how they adapt and address their sunk-cost legacy estate and so this is a critical decision-making zone.
Cloud Metrics and Cost Optimization
A very popular and fast-moving is the suite of startups catering for all aspects of managing your Cloud, covering functions like forecasting and planning, cost tracking, optimization analysis and chargebacks.
For example Israeli startup Newvem collects data from customers' use of Amazon and comes up with plans to better utilize the service more efficiently.
Cloudability does so across multiple providers and offers an API for interfacing to existing management systems, Cloudyn offers a reserved instance calculator and Cloud Cruiser is enabling IT organizations to implement an internal chargeback billing model.
Application Migration Management
Especially for legacy systems the process of actually getting the application into the Cloud service can be challenging, and there are many aspects to this too, ranging from surrounding applications in virtual "containers" to re-writing software to use Cloud portability extensions like JClouds.
Cloud Service Brokerage
The conclusion to the increased portability of applications and a granular billing environment for their use is a widespread rise of Cloud Service Brokers.
For example Gravitant is a startup in this area who provides all of these Cloud Management Tool functions, as well as an e-marketplace system for automating procurement across multiple Cloud suppliers.
