North Austin Plant Swap
I am trying to organize a plant swap in my community of Wells Branch. I did this last fall, without asking here first, and accidentally put it on the same date as the Buda swap.
A quick search of the forum, and I did not see a date for the Buda swap in 2013. I did see that SAPS will be April 6th 20123.
I was thinking to hold ours April 13th. Does anyone know of any major plant events, or local swaps this would conflict with, being April 13th?
Thanks for your help!
Hi Heather,
I live in Cedar Park and a swap at Wells Branch would be very accessible to me. I went to the Buda one last Fall and it took me an hour and a half to get there. I met some amazing plant enthusiats and came back very satisfied with many cuttings and seeds. But I think I would prefer and more likely to make it to one in North Austin.
I forget names now but there was another lady from Cedar Park at that swap.
Hello, I live in central area, I would be interested. If you or anyone you know would like to swap this month of Feb. I have Different kinds of Tomato plants, Eggplant, Bell pepper, Broccoli and Jalapeno pepper plant. I started way to many from seeds awhile ago. And now i have a excess of plants.
they will be ready for planting for 1st of March if not earlier.
I could use a eggplant and bell pepper plant or 2. Winter sowed for the first time this year, started ridge gourd seeds. They are small yet and no idea if they'll transplant well, but I can give you some to try out.
I can swap for seeds if you'd like. Other than what you've already started I have okra, cantaloupe, winter squash. Don't know the variety names but they've all come from plants that did good in Austin.
Btw I didn't see any activity on this thread so guessing not many interested for a north austin swap.
I'm new to Tx Gardening so I really dont know what ridge gourds are? Do they take a lot of space? I have a 10x20 Garden plot at Sunshine Community Garden(N. Lamar).
Anyway I'm so excited to find someone on this website that is willing to swap. I also have different varieties of tomato plants if your interested.
Charlotte says the date for the Manchaca swap in south Austin (formerly held in Buda) has been set for April 20, 2013.
The Community Garden at Manchaca UMC where the swaps are now held wants the swap to be part of their Earth Day Celebration. That sounds exciting! Charlotte will be posting more about it very soon.
Here is a link that might be useful: Photos of the April 23, 2012 swap showing the Community Gardens
If anyone is interested, I attend the monthly Wells Branch Garden Guild, (again in North Austin) and we have a swap at each meeting. Some members were swapping spring veg locally via our google group forum.
If anyone is would like to attend, our next meeting is tomorrow:
February Garden Guild Meeting will be held next Saturday the 16th at 11:00 AM.
Travis County Master Gardener Cheryl Harrison will do a presentation for the Wells Branch Garden Guild on "Basics ofLandscape Design" Cheryl is a very experienced gardener, landscape designer, and speaker. The meeting will be held at the Rec. Center, 3000 Shoreline Dr.
Everyone is welcome.
Come at 10:30 AM for swap plants, share seeds and socialize.
Hello all! I am so excited about our North Austin Plant Swap tomorrow! About a dozen members of our local garden guild said they'd be coming. I can't wait to sit and talk plants with fellow gardnerers!
Tomorrow, April 13th from 9am to noon, we are having our North Austin Plant Swap in Wells Branch, outside the community gardens across from the Elementary school.
The address is the NorthEast corner of Single Trace and Town Hill Drive. At the bottom of this post, I have included a link to a google map that shows where we are meeting. It is a parking lot next to a green field, outside our community gardens.
I hope you can make it!

Here is a link that might be useful: Map to North Austin Plant Swap
Here is my list of items I'm bringing tomorrow:
1. I have six fairy roses in 4" pots: http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/earthkindroses/cultivars/the-fairy/
My fairy rose is in a place I do not water, and has spread, and bloomed prolifically. When I trimmed it in February, I found it had air layered and I potted up the baby plants then.
drought tolerant, earthkind rose, pink blooms, that bloomed all year for me this last year. Dwarf rose that gets 4' and 4'wide, eventually. Mine took five years to reach this size.
2. I also have two large Texas Primrose Jasmine plants. (My original plant came from a SAPSwap back in 2005!) I was in Countryside Nursery this week, and they wanted $25 for a smaller plant than these I potted up a couple of months ago.
drought tolerant, sun or part shade, but blooms better with more sun. Will grow to 8' if you don't keep it trimmed. I keep mine 3' tall, and let them spread along fenceline.
3. Next I have about a dozen John Fanick Phlox. http://www.plantdelights.com/Phlox-paniculata-John-Fanick-John-Fanick-Garden-Phlox/productinfo/7383/#.UWgryZPEqxU
They get about a foot or so tall, drought tolerant, and are perrenial and return each spring. Once they reach full height and start blooming, they keep blooming through fall. Great plant! I love 'em, and plant 'em everywhere I can in my yard. Again, they need full sun to bloom best.
My lil yard only has a few places with full sun. Otherwise it would be covered in this phlox!
4. I also have several 4" pots of silver ponyfoot, Dichondra argentea: http://austinnativelandscaping.com/dichondra-argentea-silver-pony-foot-dichondra-kidneyweed/
Another drought tolerant, does well in sun or shade, spreads well, and is a great ground cover. I love the silver color.
5. I have three cuttings, only potted up last week, of Black Spanish Grape vines.
My husband fell in love with the wine Dry Comal Creek vineyard makes with Black Spanish grapes, and dreams of making his own. One day.
6. I also have Apple mint. My British mother-in-law swears Apple Mint is the correct mint to use for mint sauce with lamb or pork.
7. I have Greek Oregano. Yum.
8. I also have a metal bird bath, that I'll pass onto a new home.
9. And I have a variety of bottles, and packages of organic garden solutions that I bought to solve a specific problem and have never cleared out. Due to husband's wanting his garage to be garden goods free, I am clearing out the excess! I have orange oil (multiple bottles), vinegar, thuricide, fox urine [bought to put on eaves to discourage squirrels chewing wood], etc. And that is what I noticed just glancing in the first box. I have four boxes and baskets like that. My husband may have a point about my garden hoarding! :)
Also a few nonorganic things like miracle grow. Maybe unused because I try to be organic.
10. And more plants galore.
I am so sorry I couldn't make it to our SAPS swap last weekend. I am really looking forward to talking plants with my fellow gardeners tomorrow.
Also, I will give a tour of our community garden, if anyone would like to check it out.
I can hardly wait for tomorrow!
TexanGal aka Heather
What a great Plant Swap today! We had about 20 people and tons of plants. And someone posted about our Swap on Freecycle, and several poeple showed up because of that. Whoa.
Of the plants I came home with, I am especially excited about my Sunberry and with my White Alpine Strawberry. When I looked Sunberry up online I found: "Sunberry's fruits are blue, slightly sweet and slightly larger than a pea. Said by its admirers to rival and even surpass blueberries. They can be used in baking and are delicious mixed into vanilla ice-cream."
I am very excited to grow it and taste for myself.
Thanks guys for "listening" to me and being supportive.
Thanks again everyone for a successful swap!

The Lantern
Shining Light on China's Cults
The phenomenal growth of China's church has, justifiably, given rise to much discussion about how Christianity will impact China's future...Beneath the upbeat reports of the church's growing numbers and influence, however, is the harsh reality that unprecedented growth accompanied by a severe shortage of trained leadership has left the church increasingly vulnerable to cults and heresies.
Missed Opportunities
The Need for Reflection
One of ChinaSource's core values is to be a learning organization. Centuries of Christian involvement in the Middle Kingdom provide a wealth of lessons on what has – and has not – served to advance the gospel in China.
A New "Quarterly" and a New Website
The winter issue of the ChinaSource Quarterly has just been published. In this issue we explore the spiritual journey of Chinese people who are finding Christ and growing in him through the ministry of the Catholic Church in China. Brent Fulton, editor of the Quarterly, writes in his introduction to "A Window into Catholicism in Today's China:"
Now That China Is Number One
By at least some calculations, the size of China's economy exceeded that of the United States this month, putting China in first place. Setting aside the fine points of those calculations (which will likely be the subject of much debate for some time to come), it is clear that China's economic rise has had far-reaching consequences –including for the Body of Christ – both domestically and internationally,.
Reviewing and Rejoicing in What God Has Done
A look back over the past year.
Pray for China's Leaders
As we post this issue of The Lantern, China's top leaders have just concluded their annual Party plenum in Beijing. During this "Fourth Plenum" they gave shape to policies that will be endorsed by China's legislature, the National People's Congress, in the spring.
House Churches and Cults – the Dangers of Mistaken Identity
The BBC article "The Chinese cult that kills 'demons'" prompted a reader to ask recently, "Have you heard of this cult?"
Students on Our Doorsteps
First it was Chinese graduate students and scholars going overseas to study. Then undergraduates joined the ranks of international students from China. Now there are thousands of young Chinese students arriving in the US for high school.
Faith and Generosity: Will the Church in China Make the Connection?
Generosity is an unequivocal characteristic of the life of a follower of Jesus Christ. It is the joyful life that flows freely and richly from a heart that has been set free by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the way Christians bear the image of the God who "so loved the world that He gave "
Next Steps in Walking with Leaders
"Brother Mark" played a key role in coordinating Walking with Leaders a consultation on mentoring, coaching, and spiritual formation in China hosted by ChinaSource last month in Hong Kong. Here are excerpts from a conversation we had with Brother Mark following the event.

Electrical Wiring for new Double Oven
We just bought a new wall oven from Sears (Kenmore). The house has 8-3 wiring (it's a new addition and not previously used).
The oven tag states 120/240V 6.8Kw and in the manual this calls out 30 amps. However when I look at the wires for the pigtail coming from the oven, it clearly says 12 AWG on the wire.
I thought 12 AWG is a 20 amp wire. What am I missing and can I connect this to the 8-3 wiring already set up in the house? Breaker size?
Also the 8-3 was boxed in the wall with about 6 inches of wire. The oven is a corner unit and I will need to make the last connection to the oven to install or at a minimum and extention from the 6 inces at the wall 2-3 feet to the back of the cabinet.
Any ideas my expert friends out there?
Do not fret over the size of the fixture wires. Make sure the 8-3 is fed with a 30A breaker (it probably is currently at 40, but the instructions rule here).
If I understand you, the 8-3 comes out of a box somewhere that's not possible to connect the pigtail, you'll have to leave the first box accessible and run more 8-3 (or possibly 10-3 but I wouldn't recommend that) wire to a box (probably behind where the oven goes).
"However when I look at the wires for the pigtail coming from the oven, it clearly says 12 AWG on the wire."
The wire sizes you are citing are for general purpose branch circuits, and are held low to provide extra margin in those circuits.
The wires you are seeing may well be a higher temperature conductor insulation, and do not follow the same rules as general purpose branch circuits.
There actual load is tightly controlled to just the oven itself.

Moscow HotelsA giant of a city, Moscow is the iconic Russia many people recognise, with the flamboyant colour of St. Basil's Cathedral and soviet architecture of imposing avenues. It is a centre for the arts, home to some of the best theatres, ballets and composers in the world. It is a millionaires' playground, with supremely lavish bars, nightclubs and designer shopping. It has echoes of Soviet ideals and culture everywhere – in short, it is a city which demands respect and admiration.Things to seeRed Square, with its world-famous architecture and millennia of turbulent history, holds endless fascination for visitors and is at the very heart of Russian political, cultural and religious life. St. Basil's Cathedral is a sheer joy to behold, with its many brightly-coloured onion domes atop patterned pillars, looking more like a fanciful castle from a Russian fairytale than an orthodox cathedral. The interior provokes yet more amazement, with spiral staircases and vividly frescoed ceilings. On the other side of Red Square, the Kremlin Wall dominates; a fortress-like structure of colossal proportions. Safe behind it are the unbelievably opulent Kremlin buildings, from the imperial grandeur of the State Kremlin Palace to the gold domes of the cathedrals. A short distance from the Kremlin is the Bolshoi Theatre, one of the most important in the world. With an impressive repertoire of Russian ballet and opera, it provides an unforgettable night in Moscow. Hotels in MoscowMoscow has a huge selection of hotels, whether you're looking for 5-star luxury, a budget hostel, or something in between. Its superb luxury hotels offer sumptuously decorated suites which will make you feel like a Russian Tsar, with king-sized beds and ornate furniture. Minibars and flat-screen TVs are also provided, while full-service spas and haute cuisine restaurants add to the luxury experience. In Moscow's budget hotels and hostels, you'll find simple but trendy rooms, either private or shared. WiFi is usually free. Mid-range hotels offer spacious, contemporary rooms with additional amenities, such as complimentary breakfast, indoor pools and business centres. Where to stayIf you want to be right at the heart of Moscow and its many attractions, then stay close to Red Square. There is a good selection of top-end luxury hotels, with some fabulous views of the square and its landmarks. If you're on a tight budget, don't despair; there are numerous hostels and budget hotels here too. The district of Arbat, to the west of Red Square, is rich in history. There is a mix of mid-range and budget hotels to choose from. For a chic hotel on the riverside, stay in Pavaletskaya, where there's also excellent shopping and dining. How to get to MoscowMost international visitors will arrive into one of Moscow's 2 main airports: Sheremetyevo or Domodedovo. Transport options are numerous from both, but one of the quickest ways to reach the centre is by Aeroexpress train. From either airport, the journey takes about 30 minutes and is an efficient, inexpensive option. You can also reach Moscow by train from many European cities. Once in Moscow, the extensive Metro system is the best way to get around. There are also comprehensive bus and trolleybus networks.

Feline Infectious Anemia
Does anyone have or had experience with FIA in cats? What is the quality of life and the prognosis ( it is my understand the animal might remain the carrier for life)?
Although there is a wealth of information on FIA on the web, I would like to hear personal accounts/experiences on FIA...I have a foster cat with FIA and have to make decisions/know what to expect....
Thank you, I greatly appreciate any advice or suggestion
Olya, I don't have any personal experience, but I did find the below website and it states Carrier cats are generally not treated. As long as fleas are controlled, a carrier cat is not contagious.
It also says that cats generally respond well and quickly to treatment, so I hope your foster will be just fine.
Here is a link that might be useful: Feline Infectious Anemia
Thanks Petra
I saw this website, and unfortunately, have been getting different opinions. While the cat appears fine, the shelter had to send her back, since as a carrier, she cannot be adopted out through them. The shelter vet suggested that the cat would potentially go through bouts of the disease on and off, as the parasite is never eradicated.
I will continue fostering her, watching for sings of anemia (she has gotten anemic in the past), and hoping for the best...

Berkshire-based Crane & Company has announced the sale of its technical materials division to a Georgia-based company.
The Dalton-based papermaker says its two mills in Pittsfield will stay open and all of the roughly 100 employees will remain. Neenah Paper Inc. will pay $72 million for the business. Bill McCarthy is Neenah's vice president of financial analysis and investor relations.
While people are usually worried about putting money in their pants pockets, what about putting your pants into money?
"It was a good product while it lasted," said Jerry Rudd.
Rudd is the general manager of global sourcing for Crane. Headquartered in Dalton, Mass., the paper manufacturer has been the sole supplier of U.S. currency paper since 1964, something it started doing in 1879. Rudd explains how a trademark of American fashion was also part of another American cornerstone, our money.
The final member of Crane's management bearing the company's name is leaving the paper manufacturer.
Paper manufacturer Crane & Co. is going back to its roots in Dalton, Massachusetts.
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrapped up her trip across Massachusetts in the western part of the state today. The Democratic Senator's visit included a tour of defense manufacturer General Dynamics' site in Pittsfield. Senator Warren says the plant is making innovative gains in military manufacturing and research to save the country money while still keeping it safe.

This recipe turned out amazing. Everyone loved it!
Really good recipe. It reminds me of all the best stuff on the cheese/fruit/sausage tray. It's also really adaptable - I used shallots instead of onions. I could see mushrooms or roasted fennel also being a great addition
The pear gave this recipe great flavour, i wld. make it again and perhaps try different fruits, i used pear as i had mark down pears - but it was good.

Reviews for Freeman & Grey
by Erica May Dean
one month ago
Really loved this place! I have been here a couple of times, only ever trying there $4 pizzas. And boy, they were tasty! They may not be the most fulling pizza but at $4 a pop I could afford two :p I had my boyfriends birthday celebration here and we kept ordering pizzas and alcohol (mostly beer) everyone left on a good buzz and it was a great success. The staff were very helpful and friendly, service was quick and food was superb.
Thumbs up!

This is crazy value for money. Went to try it out for a drink but got peckish and the waitress, who was happy to show us through the menu pointed out the $4 pizza offer. We had seen another table receive pizzas but figured they looked too good to be the $4 ones. Nope.. They were. Tried one and it was excellent.. So good we got another. Seriously $8 and we were full. Love this place, will definitely return with a group for a weekend lunch.

One of my favourite Friday night spots. They have a great pizza selection and often have a $4 pizza promotion during the afternoon which is great on a tight budget, good selection of drinks and I particularly enjoyed the feijoa crumble cocktail which I will definitely try to recreate at home

As a student it becomes second nature to keep your eyes peeled for the deals.
I'm not one to sacrifice quality for quantity believe me, but here at Freeman and Grey you get both!
Normally lying around the $12 mark, Freeman and Grey's pizza range is wide enough to suit most peoples likings. They have your classic meatlover and vegetarian equivalents covered and even options that may push your comfort zone. And if $12 wasn't good enough, if you rock up around lunch time or before 7:30pm, you only pay $4 for your pizza! Dominoes can't even compete with that pricing. So if you thought you couldn't hang out and eat out in Ponsonby on a budget, think again!
The service has always been pretty good - the staff are all really friendly!
Freeman and Grey loses a point just on the fact that occasionally the waiting time is a bit long. That being said, it's not that big of deal with good company and drinks are always delivered quickly.
For a good dessert option I would recommend the sticky date pudding!
Overall, I really like Freeman and Grey. The restaurant itself has a cool industrial and bar vibe. With live music playing some nights and a rugby game on a couple of the flat screens, Freeman and Grey offers a pretty neat place to bring the lads for a drink or two at the end of the week.

This is one of the best spots in Ponsonby and really making an effort to pull in the locals with specials. The $4 pizzas are probably one of the best I've eaten and great value! If you join their loyalty scheme you get a free pizza, $10 voucher and $7 wines/beers 24/7. I'm loving the $7 wines because of I'm sick of paying $10 for a glass when you know a bottle is $10 at New World! To top it off, very friendly staff- all round a great night out!

Tried to book for quiz night a week in advance but no reply via email so tried to call Monday and Tuesday but no answer then at 4pm while we were getting ready to go (hoping that they had a spare table) we try one last time and are told sorry we're full - even though I had emailed TWICE a week before!! Terrible customer service. Won't bother to try and book again

I have only ever had the $4 pizzas and jugs of beer from here - and both are awesome :D the $4 pizzas are a sweet deal, they always seem to have a pretty good amount of toppings despite the tiny price, and are a decent size (can't always finish a whole one myself). Huge selection too. The atmosphere is always good here, usually pretty busy with after work people, nice sitting outside when the sun's out

Freeman and Grey is right now the best place to eat lunch in ponsonby.... They are having so many cheap lunch deals that can get one to think a lot on what you eat.... They have more than 10 options to select from their $4 lunch pizzas.. Who provides such deals now a days... I ordered gamberetto pizza which is full of garlic prawns chilli mozzarella and Parmesan and I will truly say this that I wasn't dissapointed a bit... It was really filling... With great service this place adds to my everytime go to list... Strongly recommended....

Tried this place with deal voucher. The customer service was excellent. The food portion is big and very reasonably priced. The food taste just a bit above average. But overall had good experience here.

Great place to kick back and let the world pass you by for a while - and you can watch it go. Freeman & Grey seating options are many and varied but supremo on a good afternoon/evening must be on the verandah on the first floor. Salute the setting sun. There are big screens inside and plenty of space, plenty of sharing plates and although the ambiance can be more than the food quality, it all balances out. And, if you join their 'club' they regularly text and invite you for a free beer or wine after work. Can't be bad.

I have dined in at Freeman and Grey and have mixed reviews for it.
For food, my partner and I ordered a platter and 2 tapas. Drinks were vodka/soda/lime and a Bloody Mary. The platter was mega. Initially the $50 outlay was a bit of a shock, but not when the food arrived. It was of decent quality and quanity. No complaints there at all. The tapas were average, nothing to write home about and not a reason to go back for.
When I ordered a Bloody Mary, I was told that they could not make it because they had run out of Tomato Juice. This is in spite of a supermarket being less than a km away and a dairy being open directly across the road. I would have been prepared to have waited for the juice, or at least given the option to wait, so this was disappointing.
On the toilet front, the floor was sticky and dirty. The cubicles were clean.
The service of the staff was friendly from the waitress but very casual and a bit 'too cool for school' from the bar staff.
The loyalty programme that Freeman run is also great, short term, but I have become very over receiving regular texts from them.
All in all, a sub-optimal experience.

Dined in at this establishment two weeks ago. The front of house staff were diligent and quick to attend to us.
We ordered a couple of the small plates. Some were very tasty. Others ( calamari ) may not have been at its freshest.
Beers on tap were reasonably priced.
Ordered the chicken pizza, which stated ingredients such as " sweet chilli- chicken- cream cheese- pinenuts- with a tomato base". But there was no cream cheese on our pizza. HeH.....
Overall a good night out for a dinner.
Would recommend

Went last night for first time, the place was busy but not packed with your typical Ponsonby crowd which was nice for a change. Pretty relaxed atmosphere for a beer. Didn't sample the mains menu but snacks where great. Stuffed mushrooms yum! Some of the tables next to us where dining and it looked pretty good. Little annoying that the toilet is upstairs but that's about the only negative! Definitely heading back soon.

We went here for our staff Christmas party. I felt the food was very reasonable and well prepared and came to us in a timely fashion. The staff were helpful and friendly for the most part and the location is top notch. Nice layout and decor and awesome balcony up top for hanging out and shooting the breeze. Great one for summer.
by Ellie Miller

Cool venue that was really let down by the service. There were quite a few staff on but we had to stand at the bar for a good ten minutes before anyone acknowledged us; I totally get that you might be busy, but a smile and an "I'll be with you in a minute" wouldn't go astray so we knew you weren't just blatantly ignoring us. We went on a Wednesday night, was pretty quiet and managed to get a seat down the front by the footpath, ideal for a yarn and some people watching. Didn't have any food but they had a reasonable range of Mac's; not too much on the cider front though but tried the new Ginger Brew, pretty good.
I guess it was only one visit, might have caught them on a bad night so will go back for sure.

Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon in a Rag & Bone Jacket and Frame Skinny Jeans
Another set of snaps of Reese Witherspoon in the airport! She was photographed this time while catching a flight out of Washington, DC.
Reese wore her Rag & Bone denim jacket again but this time paired it with Frame Le Skinny de Jeanne skinny jeans in Queens Road and a pair of brown boots. This outfit is almost identical to the one we saw her wearing when she was catching a flight to DC. I do think I prefer the indigo wash over the black denim, since it provides more of a contrast between the jacket and jeans. Buy both Rag & Bone and Frame from Shopbop.com.
Reese Witherspoon in a Rag & Bone Denim Jacket & J Brand Jeans
Reese Witherspoon was snapped while catching a flight out of LAX airport. She wore a Rag & Bone denim jacket with a pair of J Brand's 485 Luxe Sateen Super Skinny Legging in Black and brown boots.
Reese has quite the collection of denim jackets! We used to see her out in her Current/Elliott snap jacket pretty frequently and then she has also been seen in one from Citizens of Humanity. I am not the biggest fan of this particular one on her, I think the cut is a bit too boxy for her. Buy Rag & Bone and J Brand online at Singer22.com.
Reese Witherspoon in a Citizens of Humanity Jacket and Koral Jeans
It's been quite some time since we've seen a photo of Reese Witherspoon. She was snapped while leaving a dermatologist's office in Los Angeles, wearing a pair of Koral skinny jeans in clean white with a Citizens of Humanity Boarderline denim jacket in Sullivan.
Reese's denim style always looks so classic, we rarely see her wearing distressed or boyfriend styles, she usually chooses a slim, straight leg. I like that she added a black belt to this look, it really adds polish and plays off of her black and white color palate. You can buy Koral and Citizens of Humanity online from Shopbop.com.
Reese Witherspoon in a Denim Shirt
Reese Witherspoon got snapped while chatting away on her cell phone after doing some shopping at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills, California a few days ago.
Reese wore a light wash denim shirt over a floral skirt/dress and boots. I love it when she wears these types of outfits as I find them to really suit her easy going style. This is perfect for Spring in every way! I think opting for the ankle boots with this look was a great choice! They just toughen it up that little bit.

Here is a website that may help you Noni. There is no real "technique" to shading as everyone may do their own shading a bit different from the next person. The second title on the list "Acrylic Basics for Beginners" has a ton of information that will be useful to you.

This post is quite long overdue! But with that, this isn't a typical travel photo or outfit post, it's more of a real life update. If you're interested in my journey with type one diabetes read on and if not no worries, I'll be back sharing some more travel photos soon!
As some of you already know, I was diagnosed with type one diabetes on May 20th, 2014 and I remember that very next day while still in the ICU the doctor telling me I could still lead a "totally normal life, especially with an insulin pump and all". At the time I had no idea what she was talking about; what the heck is an insulin pump ? I was out of the ICU after a handful of days and back at home I made it my first priority to learn as much about this autoimmune disease as I could (if you want to know more about my story with t1d follow the link here). I stay alive each day by giving myself insulin to try and keep my blood glucose in range and I also eat a very healthy low carb diet and exercise everyday (shout out to Shaun T's Insanity Max 30 that I just completed!).
After diagnosis and during the following 6 months I always said regarding insulin pumps that I would "never want to be attached to one of those things", I really had a bad taste in my mouth after the doctor told me I could live a totally normal life literally right after I had just been given such a huge shock already. I thought no, that is most certainly not a "normal" life, and neither is injecting yourself 5 times a day or drawing blood from your finger 4-10 times a day, let alone being tethered to a little robot insulin machine 24/7.
Well, 6 months later my "normal" changed. I first decided to get the Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) which is a sensor I insert into my abdomen that a transmitter sits into which transmits my blood glucose levels to an mp3 player looking receiver that displays the numbers on a graph that also lets me know if my levels are staying steady or if they're going up or down. And this, was a huge first step, being committed to one thing attached to me 24/7.
I then met someone from Asante Snap (the newest pump that's come to market) at the JDRF walk in October, learned about their 4 week free and thought, well, there's literally nothing to lose in trying it. When I was trained and finally tethered up to the pump my first reaction was, this. is. weird. It all just feels so weird at first. But each day I was genuinely surprised by how much I was enjoying it. Not having that oh shit feeling when it was 10:45pm and I was supposed to inject my long acting Lantus insulin at 10pm, or being out and having to go through the whole injection process multiple times a day.
I can definitely say now that having an insulin pump streamlines things so much and is a huge help with managing everything especially when combined with all the data I am getting with my Dexcom. So, while pumps do replace injections, they still definitely do not replace the work and challenges that goes into nearly every decision I have to make everyday with managing diabetes.
Now, I absolutely loved all the people at Snap and the simplicity and quickness of site changes. But, the most important component to that pump, the Humalog insulin, just didn't love me. Humalog just did not do it's job as well as Novolog does for me. So, after the month with Snap I tried and ended up choosing the t:slim insulin pump in the end. So since getting my own t:slim the day after Christmas, I can report that I am absolutely loving it and am honestly so thankful for this technology!
Before I was on a pump I worried about how annoying it would be to be connected to tubing 24/7 and how it would work with most of my outfits and whatnot. But actually, I almost always confidently wear my t:slim on my hip or, if I'm wearing a sleeveless or short-sleeved dress I'll feed the tubing out through the arm-hole and clip the pump right to my belt. Then in the less often instances where I wear a dress without a belt at my waist, I purchased this nifty garter with a little pocket called the iThigh which turns out to be absolutely perfect to wear and slip the t:slim into. And you know what, I actually like having the t:slim be a part of my outfits everyday because it's now a part of me. And when people ask if it's my cell phone or an mp3 player I am always so happy to explain what an insulin pump is to them and spread awareness of t1d since it's still so misunderstood by most of the population.
Here's some of the photos of myself where you can see my new robot friends. The first couple are from November when I was on the Asante Snap trial, the rest are thereafter and w/ my t:slim.
Now with this, I also understand that it isn't everyone's cup of tea to share photos like this or to look at photos that focus on someone's body so much. But, I've shared photos like this since day 1 of having a pump because I want to show others that you can still be confident, comfortable, and beautiful with these things attached to you. I didn't choose to get type one diabetes but I am strong enough to deal with it and am proud of my body, proud of the work I put in to manage this autoimmune disease, and I believe that these things that make us so unique both physically (in having these things attached to our stomachs) and emotionally (in that most people without t1d can't really understand or truly grasp so much of what we go through everyday) are ultimately also so beautiful. The responses I have gotten (mostly via instagram on these photos) from others with t1d have been absolutely incredibly heartwarming. Other women with t1d telling me I'm an inspiration to them as they struggle w/ certain things, thanking me for "making it look beautiful to wear a pump/cgm", and so many other comment I've gotten that make me feel so happy to be a part of such a lovely, supportive community.

Clasically Parisian - Part 2
On our last day after spending time at the top of the Eiffel Tower again we wandered around Champ de Mars a while where I spotted a perfect pale pink fleur at the top of a tree that had lost all of its leaves and with one swipe of the umbrella, Anthony got it down for me completely unharmed and perfect and right then it became my favorite keepsake from Paris (even though through all our travels it's just a couple of petals and a stem in my journal now). Speaking of my journal, I think up until Sweden we did a pretty good job at regularly writing in our journals but then just kind of stopped and I really regret not staying on top of that, so next time it'll definitely remain more of a priority for sure and I really recommend others doing so as well!
So anyways, after strolling around one last time through the 7th arrondissement we finally found the perfect classically Parisian cafe that was called Natu'elle Cafe. So, of course it only made sense to light a cigarette (because why not) and enjoy a cup or two.

Classically Parisian - Part 1
February 20th, a perfectly grey, slightly windy, and absolutely lovely last day in Paris we had. I wore my favorite classic Parisian outfit and we spent some time at the top of the Eiffel Tower, strolled through Champ de Mars and all of our favorite spots again in the area, and finally found a super delicious coffee shop, but more photos from that in the next post!

This wide, sloping, horseshoe-shape beach is surrounded by cactus-covered rocky cliffs; the placid waters here are a protected fish sanctuary. The bay is part of an underwater reserve and is a great place to snorkel: brightly colored fish swarm through chunks of white coral and golden sea fans. Unfortunately, this little slice of paradise offers no shade unless you sit in the shadows at the base of the cliffs, so you may want to bring a beach umbrella. In high season,
from November to May, there's usually someone renting snorkeling gear for $10 a day or selling sarongs, straw hats, and soft drinks. It's best to bring your own supplies, though, including lots of drinking water, snacks, and sunscreen. Snorkel and booze-cruise boats from Cabo San Lucas visit the bay in midmorning through about 1 pm. Arrive midafternoon if you want to get that total Robinson Crusoe feel. The parking lot is a quarter mile or so off the highway and is sometimes guarded; be sure to tip the guard. The bay is roughly 19 km (12 miles) west of San José and 13 km (8 miles) east of Cabo San Lucas. Heading east, look for the sign saying "playa santa maría." Amenities: Toilets, parking lot. Best for: snorkeling; swimming; partiers.

Mob Rule, Vigilante Behavior and Blasphemy in Pakistan's Digital Age
BY Nighat Dad | Wednesday, November 26 2014
Blasphemy cases in Pakistan are considered a norm these days. However, the latest incident of a mob beating to death a Christian couple is the most gruesome manifestation of this sensitive issue. The couple in Punjab was alleged to have desecrated a copy of the Qur'an. The mob attacked the couple, killed them, and later burnt their bodies in the brick kiln where they worked. The blasphemy law presents a frightening level of vigilante violence where prison and private guards, neighbors and colleagues turn into mobs killing those accused of blasphemy. Unfortunately, this mob behavior is being strengthened by the increasing adoption of technology in the country like mobile phones and the internet.Read More
How Brigade is Taking Shape: An Interview with James Windon
BY Alex Howard | Tuesday, November 25 2014
The following is an edited transcript of an interview that Alex Howard conducted with James Windon, the president of civic engagement startup Brigade, last Wednesday November 19 at the Fusion RiseUp event in Washington, DC. That morning, Brigade had announced that it was partnering with a "carefully curated" set of organizations: Rainforest Action Network, Americans for Tax Reform, the Drug Policy Alliance, Represent.Us, Generation Opportunity, Forecast the Facts, FreedomWorks and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. With more than $9 million in venture funding from Napster co-founder Sean Parker, Brigade has been amassing a staff of more than 50 while remaining quiet about how it plans to launch and grow a new social network for civic engagement. In this interview, Windon explains why he thinks there's still room for "yet another social network" and how Brigade will attract users: "one of the biggest reasons that people have stopped participating civically is because their civic lives have become decoupled from their social lives," noting that the company will be primarily focused on people's relationship to local issues and down-ballot representatives. He also addresses the inevitable questions about a for-profit business entering the civic space, saying,"our best bet at how we will monetize is through advertising." Read More

Join Parody Pass
Have you ever imagined your favorite TV shows and blockbuster Hollywood movies remade with pornstars? Well, get yourself a Parody Pass and you don't ever have to imagine it again because you can actually see it right there on your computer screen, from television classics to a much-loved '80s teen flick to parodies of more recent fare, like "Big Bang Theory: A XXX Parody," where nerdy turns dirty.
Going into ParodyPass I was a little unsure of how good the parodies would be, but let me tell you right off the bat that they are excellent. In fact, writing this review took me a lot longer than it should have because I spent a lot of time just watching the movies - they were that entertaining. There is a surprising amount of effort that goes into them.
From the accuracy of the sets (how they got the "Golden Girls" kitchen, the "Cheers" bar or "Seinfeld's" apartment to look like they do on TV is impressive in itself) to the theme songs, these parodies are stellar. Even the acting is good. Sure, the comedies aren't hysterical, but there are actually some good lines and the characters are accurate to the TV versions. There is even a laugh track in some of them.
There are 154 videos and they bring you good-quality playback, but let me break them down a bit. First, you're getting 22 full-length DVDs and each generally lasts over two hours, with five or six scenes throughout. You can enjoy the films as full-length features if you want, but you're also free to enjoy the individual scenes.
Once you're done with the features, the show continues with the rest of the content that you normally find when you watch a DVD. Okay, I don't mean the director's cut with full commentary (although that does sound like it might be funny), but instead 22 behind-the-scenes vids and 15 blooper flicks. Last but not least, there are 117 photo sets that look decent and can be saved in Zip files.
The website hasn't updated in a long time, but as a member you get access to 22 bonus sites from the New Sensations network, like Jizz Bomb, Fresh Out Of High School and Unlimited MILFs.
Parody Pass has great parody porn. The scenarios are good and the porn is hot and hardcore. This is the best of both worlds for fans of the genre and there is good reason to sign on up even though the website has stopped growing.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Royals rally falls short in 6-3 loss to A's
Davis cruised through the fourth, and then issued a leadoff walk to John Jaso in the fifth. Reddick followed with a triple to right, and he scampered home on Coco Crisp's sacrifice fly.
The A's added three more in the ninth, two of them when Cain misplayed a line drive in right field that bounced off his glove - "I just flat-out missed it," he said.
The Royals tried to rally in the ninth behind back-to-back doubles by Lough and Escobar, and consecutive singles by Hosmer and Butler. But the unflappable Balfour got Cain and Moustakas on harmless groundouts to record his memorable save.
"I hope you're not jinxing him by talking about it," Reddick said with a smile.
NOTES: Royals OF Alex Gordon passed his concussion tests after colliding with the wall while trying to make a catch Wednesday night. He could return this weekend. ... The Royals requested unconditional release waivers on OF Jeff Francoeur, who was designated for assignment June 30. LHP Francisley Bueno accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Omaha. ... A's LHP Brett Anderson plans to play catch Saturday after a CT scan cleared him to begin walking on his right foot without a boot. He's been on the DL with a stress fracture since May 1. ... RHP Jarrod Parker will start Saturday for Oakland against Royals RHP Ervin Santana.

Mecca for the rich: Islam's holiest site 'turning into Vegas'
Historic and culturally important landmarks are being destroyed to make way for luxury hotels and malls, reports Jerome Taylor
Jerome Taylor
Jerome Taylor first came to The Independent in 2005 and joined the Foreign Desk. He is now a news reporter and the paper's Religious Affairs Correspondent.
Saturday 24 September 2011
Behind closed doors – in places where the religious police cannot listen in – residents of Mecca are beginning to refer to their city as Las Vegas, and the moniker is not a compliment.
Click HERE to download graphic: Mecca For The Rich (430.39kB)
Over the past 10 years the holiest site in Islam has undergone a huge transformation, one that has divided opinion among Muslims all over the world.
Once a dusty desert town struggling to cope with the ever-increasing number of pilgrims arriving for the annual Hajj, the city now soars above its surroundings with a glittering array of skyscrapers, shopping malls and luxury hotels.
To the al-Saud monarchy, Mecca is their vision of the future – a steel and concrete metropolis built on the proceeds of enormous oil wealth that showcases their national pride.
Yet growing numbers of citizens, particularly those living in the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina, have looked on aghast as the nation's archaeological heritage is trampled under a construction mania backed by hardline clerics who preach against the preservation of their own heritage. Mecca, once a place where the Prophet Mohamed insisted all Muslims would be equal, has become a playground for the rich, critics say, where naked capitalism has usurped spirituality as the city's raison d'être.
Few are willing to discuss their fears openly because of the risks associated with criticising official policy in the authoritarian kingdom. And, with the exceptions of Turkey and Iran, fellow Muslim nations have largely held their tongues for fear of of a diplomatic fallout and restrictions on their citizens' pilgrimage visas. Western archaeologists are silent out of fear that the few sites they are allowed access to will be closed to them.
But a number of prominent Saudi archaeologists and historians are speaking up in the belief that the opportunity to save Saudi Arabia's remaining historical sites is closing fast.
"No one has the balls to stand up and condemn this cultural vandalism," says Dr Irfan al-Alawi who, as executive director of the Islamic Heritage Research Foundation, has fought in vain to protect his country's historical sites. "We have already lost 400-500 sites. I just hope it's not too late to turn things around."
Sami Angawi, a renowned Saudi expert on the region's Islamic architecture, is equally concerned. "This is an absolute contradiction to the nature of Mecca and the sacredness of the house of God," he told the Reuters news agency earlier this year. "Both [Mecca and Medina] are historically almost finished. You do not find anything except skyscrapers."
Dr Alawi's most pressing concern is the planned £690m expansion of the Grand Mosque, the most sacred site in Islam which contains the Kaaba – the black stone cube built by Ibrahim (Abraham) that Muslims face when they pray.
Construction officially began earlier this month with the country's Justice Minister, Mohammed al-Eissa, exclaiming that the project would respect "the sacredness and glory of the location, which calls for the highest care and attention of the servants or Islam and Muslims".
The 400,000 square metre development is being built to accommodate an extra 1.2 million pilgrims each year and will turn the Grand Mosque into the largest religious structure in the world. But the Islamic Heritage Foundation has compiled a list of key historical sites that they believe are now at risk from the ongoing development of Mecca, including the old Ottoman and Abbasi sections of the Grand Mosque, the house where the Prophet Mohamed was born and the house where his paternal uncle Hamza grew up.
There is little argument that Mecca and Medina desperately need infrastructure development. Twelve million pilgrims visit the cities every year with the numbers expected to increase to 17 million by 2025.
But critics fear that the desire to expand the pilgrimage sites has allowed the authorities to ride roughshod over the area's cultural heritage. The Washington-based Gulf Institute estimates that 95 per cent of Mecca's millennium-old buildings have been demolished in the past two decades alone.
The destruction has been aided by Wahabism, the austere interpretation of Islam that has served as the kingdom's official religion ever since the al-Sauds rose to power across the Arabian Peninsula in the 19th century.
In the eyes of Wahabis, historical sites and shrines encourage "shirq" – the sin of idolatry or polytheism – and should be destroyed. When the al-Saud tribes swept through Mecca in the 1920s, the first thing they did was lay waste to cemeteries holding many of Islam's important figures. They have been destroying the country's heritage ever since. Of the three sites the Saudis have allowed the UN to designate World Heritage Sites, none are related to Islam.
Those circling the Kaaba only need to look skywards to see the latest example of the Saudi monarchy's insatiable appetite for architectural bling. At 1,972ft, the Royal Mecca Clock Tower, opened earlier this year, soars over the surrounding Grand Mosque, part of an enormous development of skyscrapers that will house five-star hotels for the minority of pilgrims rich enough to afford them.
To build the skyscraper city, the authorities dynamited an entire mountain and the Ottoman era Ajyad Fortress that lay on top of it. At the other end of the Grand Mosque complex, the house of the Prophet's first wife Khadijah has been turned into a toilet block. The fate of the house he was born in is uncertain. Also planned for demolition are the Grand Mosque's Ottoman columns which dare to contain the names of the Prophet's companions, something hardline Wahabis detest.
For ordinary Meccans living in the mainly Ottoman-era town houses that make up much of what remains of the old city, development often means the loss of their family home.
Non-Muslims cannot visit Mecca and Medina, but The Independent was able to interview a number of citizens who expressed discontent over the way their town was changing. One young woman whose father recently had his house bulldozed described how her family was still waiting for compensation. "There was very little warning; they just came and told him that the house had to be bulldozed," she said.
Another Meccan added: "If a prince of a member of the royal family wants to extend his palace he just does it. No one talks about it in public though. There's such a climate of fear."
Dr Alawi hopes the international community will finally begin to wake up to what is happening in the cradle of Islam. "We would never allow someone to destroy the Pyramids, so why are we letting Islam's history disappear?"
Under Threat
Bayt al-Mawlid
When the Wahabis took Mecca in the 1920s they destroyed the dome on top of the house where the Prophet Mohammed was born. It was thenused as a cattle market before being turned into a library after a campaign by Meccans. There are concerns that the expansion of the Grand Mosque will destroy it once more. The site has never been excavated by archaeologists.
Ottoman and Abasi columns of the Grand Mosque
Slated for demolition as part of the Grand Mosque expansion, these intricately carved columns date back to the 17th century and are the oldest surviving sections of Islam's holiest site. Much to the chagrin of Wahabis, they are inscribed with the names of the Prophet's companions. Ottomon Mecca is now rapidly disappearing
Al-Masjid an-Nabawi
For many years, hardline Wahabi clerics have had their sites set on the 15th century green dome that rests above the tomb holding the Prophet, Abu Bakr and Umar in Medina. The mosque is regarded as the second holiest site in Islam. Wahabis, however, believe marked graves are idolatrous. A pamphlet published in 2007 by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, endorsed by Abdulaziz Al Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, stated that "the green dome shall be demolished and the three graves flattened in the Prophet's Masjid".
Jabal al-Nour
A mountain outside Mecca where Mohammed received his first Koranic revelations. The Prophet used to spend long spells in a cave called Hira. The cave is particularly popular among South Asian pilgrims who have carved steps up to its entrance and adorned the walls with graffiti.
