Please explain how a CSA works and how to find one. I have a general idea, but I'd like more specifics. I live in farm country so I should be able to find something around here, but no idea how to go about it! Thanks!
Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
This is an excellent resource for finding local CSAs and farms in your area:
You pay for a membership at the farm, rather than per item. Different farms have different specific policies, but most of them have you pay a yearly membership, and then you come every week and pick up a box of produce. If the tomato harvest gets wiped out by late blight (as nearly everyone's did a couple years ago) then you don't get much or any tomatoes but the farmer at least doesn't go under. On the other hand, if a bumper crop of something else comes in, you get to enjoy lots of it.
Generally, it's a good deal for you - though obviously it varies from farm to farm and also from season to season. But of course, for it to be a good deal, you have to use all (or most, at least) of the produce. Some people have trouble keeping up.
For me, I have figured that I am basically getting the freshest organic produce at conventional in-season produce prices.
I consider the main value in the quality of the produce I am getting, not so much in the money saved. I can buy the stuff at the grocery for the same money, but it's not near the same quality. Unfortunately, one drawback is that I just can't go back. And I think it's really helped my health overall as well.
ETA: This is the ideal time to look around for CSAs - now through early spring, whenever that might be in your neck of the woods.

Thank you, laohaire! I will be looking into it, for sure. I am on the GAPS diet right now, so veg is a huge part of my diet. I'm learning all kinds of new ways to process stuff. I made my own sauerkraut last week. ;)

Meal planning and cooking on Sunday to eat the rest of the week needs to be one of my focuses.
Got my taxes done last night! Yeah! IRS had accepted the federal ones already this morning. Yeah! Refund coming between Feb. 7 and 14. Getting a refund from federal taxes but owe on state and local taxes. Need to change W-4s to reflect our changes income so we don't owe next year. Thankfully we will get the federal refund back and then be able to pay the other two since I didn't wait until the last minute to do the taxes. DH needs them to file financial aid papers for college.

Back to building my emergency fund starting from zero.
I helped a lady jump start her car and she gave me $5. I gave my sister one. - $4
I found $0.11 -
one of my dollars didn't take at the ATM - $1.00
My aunt is giving me $10 for an errand but I may keep that for gas
So I'm now at $5.11
I finally have the stroller loose and washed. I think its dry now so I can sell it hopefully tomorrow.
I see meal planning up in the comments. I'm trying to work on a February meal plan but I'm a little intimidated. I usually do a week or so at a time so if anyone has any tips on how to shop, how to plan, how to put in leftovers, I'd love to hear it. I'm going to go back and read some of thee comments.

I love showing my little sweetheart (now a busy preschooler!) the world!
esg, a week at a time for me is all I can handle in meal planning, otherwise I get overwhelmed or food gets bad before I can eat it. I am vegetarian and usually have my core carbohydrates of potatoes, pasta, rice, couscous, biscuits/bread/pizza dough, tortillas which I complement with beans or eggs (and the occasional meat replacement) and vegetables.
I am totally stoked after watching the dumping debt myths video in class last night. Now to get my DH on board that having a car payment is dumb and we can save for a car and pay cash next time. Sold another dress on ebay. Not counting the money yet but it will likely go into the gas fund as DH didn't get the reimbursement he was expecting this pay period.

So I used turbotax to file for the first time today. My return is bigger than it's ever been! I won't count my eggs till they hatch but I think I should have baby EF complete, plus pay off my two credit cards. DH wants to make some major repairs to his motorcycle so he can keep using it to commute. We hopefully will have money for that too. Fingers crossed!!!!!!

We just found a new apartment for a bit less money and twice as much space!!! And closer to my frugal single mom friends. I'm really looking forward to it, but it does me that our debt snowball payment went to first month's rent and security deposit. I know it's irrational, but I'm kinda bummed because it was going to be the last payment for one of our debts. I was so psyched to have that paid off this month. Also, I worked some OT that they forgot to pay me for, and now they're telling me I'll have to wait for next pay period... all of that was also for debts.
In the grand scheme all minor setbacks, but still feeling a bit setback.
wife to DH, mom to 7/4/2011 and 11/6/13.
Just made arrangements to look at a vehicle on Saturday. It's selling for $6000, which is well within our budget for the "new to us" family vehicle. We're actually looking at minibuses. We currently drive a 12-passenger van and were planning to go up to a 15, but they are super hard to find around here with the last row seating, and if you do find one, there is no room behind for anything. I need to carry a stroller for the twins, and we've got to have room for shopping bags or such! Also, I've wanted a diesel for a while because the gas mileage is so much better. I'm excited to have space in the vehicle! I've been watching minibuses on Craig's list and Ebay and I think we are fortunate to find this particular one in our state, so we won't have to fly out and drive back or anything. Great mileage, great price. Crossing my fingers that it'll be right for us.
If this one works out, we'll be able to pay off dh's car and make a good start on our FFEF!
Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
trekkingirl, glad turbotax is helping you get more money back. I love it because it keeps all the data from the previous year.
Oh, yeah, our tax return is pending to be posted tomorrow into our checking account! Our green card removal of conditions should be funded! Yeah! I think my DH needs an "attaboy" right now, although it will probably just be the money to buy me a valentine treat. I also sold a couple little things on etsy and ebay so have a bit money to buy business related items like more thread and fabric. Also exciting.

Garowe — The parliamentary election committee in Somalia's Puntland state has declared criteria for candidates competing for the offices of Puntland President and Vice President in 2014 election next week, Garowe Online reports.
MP Saadiq Abshir Garaad, chairman of parliament's election committee, told a press conference Sunday in the Puntland capital of Garowe that all candidates must meet the criteria set by the committee.
"All candidates for positions of President and Vice President of Puntland must satisfy all requirements established under Article 78 of Puntland Constitution," said MP Garaad.
In particular, Article 78 of Puntland Constitution requires all presidential candidates to be Puntland natives, a practicing Muslim, mentality sane, older than age 40, not married to a foreigner, with educational, experience and leadership credentials, and has lived in Puntland over the past two years.
Moreover, MP Garaad announced that the election committee has decided to collect a registration fee of US$10,000.00 for president candidates, and $5,000.00 for vice president candidates. In 2009 election, the registration fee was $5,000.00 for president and $2,500.00 for vice president.
"All candidates must sign a document clearly stating that they will accept the election result, recognize and cooperate with Puntland's new election leadership," said MP Garaad, adding: "Any candidate that refuses to sign this document will not enter parliament hall on January 8, 2014".
On January 1, the 66-member Puntland Parliament was sworn-in at a ceremony attended by Puntland government leaders, former president, presidential candidates, titled elders, and Islamic clerics, among others. On January 4, Puntland MPs elected Mr. Said Hassan Shire, a former Puntland government minister, as the state's new parliament Speaker.
Puntland's fourth presidential election is slated for January 8, 2014.
Puntland is a stable territory in northern Somalia with a functioning government that supports a federal structure to reunite the fragmented parts of Somalia. Since August 5, 2013, Puntland government suspended all relations with Mogadishu-based Federal Government of Somalia over a constitutional dispute.

Goofy Giraffes!
I've been wanting to do a giraffe craft for awhile but kept forgetting! This craft would probably work best with 3 and up , my little guy loved doing the coloring, but got frustrated with the rest. As long as your expectations are flexible everyone will have fun!
- Gather your materials. You will need a paper towel or 2 toilet paper rolls, brown and yellow paint or markers ( I used a brown marker and yellow dotter) , some construction paper, 3 pipe cleaners, scissors, glue , some tape and a stapler. Got all that ?
- Have your child paint/color the paper towel roll with the brown paint or marker.
- Now the yellow! My little guy loved that the dot paint fit nicely inside the tube, we played this little game for about 5 minutes.
- While your child is painting/ coloring draw a giraffe head and ears. Cut them out.
- Have your child glue the ears onto the head.
- Let the roll dry and cut into 2 pieces, one longer than the other .
- Poke 4 holes in the shorter roll, and thread the pipe cleaners through for legs, this is great fine motor practice for little guys! Just be there to help, pipe cleaners can be sharp. Twist the two ends together once they are through. I cut mine to make them even.
- Bend the remaining pipe cleaner to make the horns, and tape it to the back of the head, glue and pipe cleaners are rarely a fun combo , I prefer tape.
- Glue the head to the longer roll. Let dry face down.
- Staple the neck to the body. Try to stand it up- ours is a leaning tower of giraffe!
" Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andreae is a very sweet story about a giraffe who gets laughed at because he doesn't know how to dance. Don't worry though it all turns out in the end and really addresses the emotions that we all face when we feel made fun of. Very cute find! " Animals" by A. Barlow is the prefect little board book for toddlers learning about animals and is nice and short for busy babies who are only able to sit for a few short moments at a time. The pictures are so cool that older toddlers will love it too! My little guy likes to "read " it to me.

Ptolemy (Latin: Claudius Ptolemæus; Greek: Κλαύδιος Πτολεμαῖος, Klaúdios Ptolemaîos; c. 9089
3850 He
4093 AM – c. 168167
3928 He

- Main Article: Geography
Ptolemy gave geography and cartography its final form in the 2nd century AD. His massive work on the subject (Geographia), which summed up and criticized the work of earlier writers, offered instruction in laying out maps by three different methods of projection, provided coordinates for some eight thousand places, and treated such basic concepts as geographical latitude and longitude.
In Byzantium, in the 13th century, Ptolemic maps were reconstructed and attached to Greek manuscripts of the text. And in the fifteenth century, a Latin translation of this text, with maps, proved a sensation in the world of the book. A best seller both in the age of luxurious manuscripts and in that of print, Ptolemy's Geography became immensely influential. Columbus—one of its many readers—found inspiration in Ptolemy's exaggerated value for the size of Asia for his own fateful journey to the west.[1]

It had been suggested that the octagonal frigidarium could have been used for Christian baptism or Jewish sacred bathing (Pitts, 2006).

Podcasting pain…
… is what I've been experiencing this weekend. I've just spent the best part of 24 hours, hunting for a WordPress HTML5 audio player, wrestling with its incompatibility with the Jetpack WordPress plugin and then finally trawling my way through my blog history converting my audio player from Flash to HTML5 for all 23 podcasts to date. Admittedly when I first started blogging and podcasting, the whole Flash Vs HTML5 debate either didn't exist, or it was very much in its infancy, either way I have to admit that I didn't really know what the hell it was all about, so ignorance/naivety probably played a significant in my decision to opt for a Flash based audio player for my podcasts. However since owning an iPad and having an iPhone as a work phone, I have discovered how inaccessible my podcasts have been to other people using iOS devices, hence my decision to spend some time this weekend overhauling my podcasting process and infrastructure. I also took the opportunity to change my podcast feed from Feedburner to Jellycast (because I'd basically 'ballsed up' the previous feed up completely!). What does all of this mean? Well it means that all of my previous podcasts are now visible in iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/tayloring-it-podcasts/id556074469 And of course, it means that my podcasts are now accessible by people using iOS devices. http://tayloringit.com/category/podcast-2/ If you do take the time to listen to my podcasts, or indeed if you have already listened to some, would mind leaving some feedback in iTunes?

Recording your Skype calls
A couple of days ago I received a tweet from Di Dawson asking if I had screenshots or video files from any virtual classroom sessions that I had previously facilitated for a programme that she was putting together. My unfortunate answer was "no" as I have admittedly been shortsighted in my use of them in the past and had never anticipated needing to 'capture' the session itself as a resource in its own right. (of course I captured sessions using the Blackboard Collaborate tool that I had access to whilst working at URENCO, but I no longer have access to those). Not wanting to let Di down, I did a bit of thinking and thought about how I could kill 2 birds with one stone. How could I help Di out and also do something that I often get asked about, which is how do I go about recording my podcast audio. So I came up with the idea of producing a screencast outlining the tools and process that I use to record my podcast audio and then actually call Di up 'live' within the screencast and show the recording in progress. Here's what we came up with…. If you want a word of advice, I'd only watch the first 5 mins 15 secs of this screencast and the last 90 seconds. They are the parts of the screencast that are visual, the rest of it is purely audio and it's quite a long time to just stare at a boring Skype screen just to hear the conversation between myself and Di, but don't fret, my next podcast will be that very conversation.

'Californication' Season 7, episode 12 recap: Hank Moody finds 'Grace'Add to Favorites | Californication
What a long, strange trip it's been for Hank Moody. After seven seasons, "Californication" has come to an end. It's been a weird season for Hank. He was, of course, on and off again with Karen, but he also found out he has a son and that his daughter Becca was getting married.
He also go and lost what is likely the best job of his career, writing on a TV show that ended up tanking. Much of this season was about Hank finally owning up to how immature he was and doing his best to become an adult.
Sometimes it went better than others, but he actually helped his son Levon get over many of is insecurities. He also found a measure of peace with Becca getting married. Perhaps most importantly though, Hank made the right choice at the end. He set the mother of his son off to someone who would treat her right and did whatever he could to get Karen back.
As the episode came to an end and rendition of Elton John's "Rocket Man" played, everyone got their own little happy ending, with Hank and Karen flying cross-country together for Becca's wedding.
As fans of the show, do you think Hank's new found happiness is forever, though? As has been evidenced over the course of the show, he is his own worst enemy. Let yourself be heard in the poll below.

Before we get on with the step-by-step photos, a few words about painting are in order. The first and most important rule when using aerosol spray paints is to shake, shake, and shake! The better you mix the paint, the better it will cover. The second rule is to put on several light coats, rather than a heavy, wet coat. A heavy coat takes longer to dry, increases the chances for a run, and won't give you a uniform finish.

Photography: Rosa Rendl captures walls with a "come hither" sensuality
Now for a photo series which is more like a visual collage of powder pink walls, retro radiators, tessellated geometric patterns and flashes of vibrant greenery than your traditional portrait, landscape or studio still life image. Austria-born photographer Rosa Rendl is the one we have to thank for such an aesthetically pleasing combination of angles. She is based between London and Vienna, but these images were taken in Paris, a fact which seems neatly suited to the romantic way the surfaces knit together in spite of their spatial divisions.
Though they are dreamily abstracted to the extent that they don't really seem to subscribe to any particular subject, the photographs are in fact all of the interior of a building, photographed from very short distances in order to reduce the surfaces to their most plane-like dimensionality. Flatness doesn't usually come paired with attributes of warmth or hospitality, but somehow the pastel shades in these photographs seems to beckon you closer with a "come hither" bat of the lashes. Here's hoping for another dose of fanciful curiosity from Rosa very soon.

Sometimes back pain comes from the fluid-filled disks that make up your spine.
The spine's 24 bony vertebrae are hooked together in a way that allows the spine to bend and move. In between each vertebra is a flat, fluid-filled cushion called a disk. When the disks themselves are causing back pain or pain radiating to the legs, doctors sometimes do an intradiscal procedure to try to relieve the pain.
Intradiscal procedures are generally considered experimental or investigational. Medical opinion on them varies widely. Several small studies have said that intradiscal procedures are relatively safe methods to relieve back pain. But many experts say they haven't seen much proof that these procedures really ease pain. Although some research shows good results for certain procedures, other research shows less of an effect. For some procedures, more research needs to be done. And the research needs to be done with a larger number of people.
Modern intradiscal procedures can be done on an outpatient basis and are minimally invasive. This generally means you will have less pain from the treatment itself and a speedier return to daily life. But before having an intradiscal procedure, you'll want to discuss the risks and benefits in detail with your doctor. The healing process may limit your movements, so be sure you understand what you can and cannot do after a procedure. Also check to see whether your insurance company covers the procedure you're considering, because some do not.
Decompression is a procedure in which your surgeon removes some of the tissue from the center of the bulging disk that is causing you pain. The goal is to remove as little material as possible, so that the disk remains stable. This is a minimally invasive procedure. The surgeon uses a needle to reach the disk and remove the extra material from the gelatinous center of the disk (known as the nucleus pulposus). It is usually done under local anesthetic in a doctor's office. Although your movement may be limited for a while after the procedure, healing is faster than with an open surgery.
Another treatment takes some of the fluid out of the disk that is causing pain. Laser treatments have been used to deflate a disk somewhat. This is a minimally invasive procedure. The doctor inserts an optical fiber into the disk. The heat created takes out a small amount of the center of the disk. The heat may reduce pain by affecting the chemical structure in the disk.
Like any surgery, these procedures carry some risks:
Damage to the disk
Damage to nearby tissues and nerves
Failure to resolve pain
Need for further surgery
The first-line treatment for degenerative disk disease is conservative care. This may mean a course of anti-inflammatory drugs or other pain medicines, physical therapy, exercise, and behavior modification. Many cases of lower back pain go away on their own with time, but some need further attention.

IBM, Indian firm strengthen ties

Gartner: Outsourcing drives IT services' growthJune 23, 2004
Report: Offshore IT outsourcing helps economyMarch 30, 2004
Tech professionals group wary of offshoringMarch 18, 2004
U.S. firms move IT overseasDecember 11, 2002
TCS, which bills itself as India's oldest and largest information technology services company, has had a relationship with IBM in which the companies sell each other's products, TCS spokesman Victor Chayet said. The new agreement focuses on technologies including portals and so-called "on-demand computing," and involves TCS training more employees in IBM technology. Exact terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Although TCS and IBM compete in the realm of IT services contracts, the partnership centers on IBM software and hardware products, Chayet said. "It's 'coopetition,'" he said. "Sometimes you're competing with IBM for business, sometimes you're partnering."
TCS has similar partnerships with other companies, such as Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems and Oracle, Chayet said.
The company's extended partnership with IBM in effect signals the emerging strength of TCS and other Indian technology services companies. TCS boasted revenue of about $1.3 billion for the year ended March 31, up from about $1.1 billion the year before. It has some 30,000 employees worldwide. The 35-year-old company, part of a broader Indian business conglomerate, recently filed for an initial public stock offering in India.
A study released this week by researcher Gartner found that India-based vendors of IT services saw their revenue grow 29 percent in 2003 compared with 2002. That rise far exceeded the 4 percent growth among U.S.-based vendors. Still, the Indian companies accounted for just 1.4 percent of the total worldwide IT services market of $569 billion, Gartner said.
More than 90 percent of revenues at India-based vendors came from customers outside India, Gartner said. TCS and other India tech companies such as Infosys Technologies and Wipro Technologies depend partly on lower labor costs in India to win over customers in the United States.
U.S.-based tech companies also have expanded their operations in lower-wage countries such as India and China. IBM, for example, has thousands of workers in India and is acquiring a 6,000-person Indian company that offers transaction processing and telemarketing services.
The "offshore" or "global delivery" model has come under fire from critics who worry that U.S. tech jobs are being replaced and that U.S. tech leadership is in jeopardy in the long run.
On the other hand, defenders of sending work offshore say it ultimately helps the U.S. economy and U.S. workers.

- How does this help the economy.
- I don't quite believe the idea that this will help the country. Who's country? the country of stock speculatos? The country of middle class workers? The country of the poor.
In america right now if you want a good living train as a plumber and use your advanced degrees and certifications as toilet paper.
The country is transforming to a hugh lower class with comodity jobs and elites at the top of the food chain.
So I don't want to hear any crying about "America losing it's competive aqdvazntage in technology". people it was given away.

Despite purchasing approximately 1.2 billion rounds over the past six months, the Department of Homeland Security is looking to acquire another 200 million rounds for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
According to solicitations posted on the federal business opportunities network website, the government is looking to buy 200 million rounds of .223 over the next several years, in addition to 176,000 rounds of .308 caliber, 168 grain hollow-point boat-tail (HPBT) and 25,000 rounds of blank .308.
News of this information has some within the blogosphere predicting that the government is preparing for a sustained period of civic unrest, an "all-out American Spring" as Israeli National News described it.

30 year old woman | Citrus Heights, CA, USA | Seeking men 27-35 in California, United States
I need someone to split the rent with.
My life is in transition right now. I'm over the party stage but I still have some years I want to experience certain things before I settle down to get married and have children. I'm fairly new to the Sacramento area, I moved from the Bay Area last winter. My career is a priority and I take pride in my accomplishments when it comes to that area of my life. My other focuses are having enough time to spend with my family and friends. I've met a lot of great people up here so far and I look forward to meeting more. I'm looking for a long term relationship that will help me develop myself to become the best person I can be. I like it when partners tell me what I need to hear as opposed to what I want to hear. When it comes to my personality I'm pretty outgoing with a good sense of humor. The quickest way to my heart is to make me laugh. I'm very comfortable in my skin and I'm not afraid to be myself when I meet new people. In a relationship I like to keep a balance between movie nights in, adventures and date nights out and spending time with friends and family. I'm a very caring person and I always want my partner to be happy. I'm a dog lover and will adopt by the end of the year. I love to travel and I need someone that I can share those future experiences with. Although, I still have fun when I go places on my own. I'm a huge San Francisco Giants and Niners fan and attend a handful of games every season. I love going to restaurants that are recommended by personal testimony so knowing where to eat would be a great plus. My new hobbies are running (I've ran two half marathons so far) and playing dodgeball (I play once a week). Shoot me a message if you're interested in meeting me.

Two picks and two Texas prep players for the Detroit Tigers at the 2012 MLB Draft. After selecting pitcher Jake Thompson in Round 2, the Tigers nabbed speedy Austin Schotts in Round 3.
Schotts, 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, plays for Centennial High School in Frisco, Texas. He was a shortstop for Centennail but projects as a center fielder in the pros (MLB.com also mentions second base a possibility). MLB.com's scouting report says that Schotts has great speed and great range but an average arm, hence the likely position shift.
The 18-year-old Schotts has a solid bat and decent power from the right side, so he might be able to take on leadoff duties in the minors and beyond.
Like Thompson, Schotts has committed to play college ball next season — he's currently slated to suit up for Oklahoma State. Unlike Thompson, the Tigers might have some serious work to do to convince Schotts to skip out on the Cowboys and turn pro.
Baseball America rated Schotts as the 170th-best prospect in this year's draft class and the 11th-best shortstop.

Written by Jessica Vaughan
In the latest installment of the Obama administration's "amnesty by executive decree" scheme, DHS has announced the creation of a new waiver that will enable an unknown number of illegal aliens who have married U.S. citizens or who have moved here illegally to join naturalized family members to avoid penalties enacted by Congress in the mid-1990s.
The so-called Provisional Unlawful Presence Waivers have been described by administration officials and the press as a measure to help families. What's wrong with that? Several things; this move is bad policy and bad principles.
Since 1996, those who have lived here illegally for more than six months are supposed to be barred from return for up to ten years, if they leave the country. Congress created a waiver to this bar if it would cause "extreme hardship" to an American citizen.
In addition, illegal aliens are not allowed to adjust to green card status from within the United States. Just like other sponsored immigrants, they have to apply for a visa in their home country, where they are expected to prove identity and credibility, demonstrate that they will not be dependent on social services, get a medical clearance from an approved local doctor, and pass a basic background check.
Illegal aliens who marry U.S. citizens and other legal residents, or who have illegally joined family members with legal status, face a tough choice (that results from their original choice to violate immigration laws): either continue to live here illegally (with little chance of deportation unless you commit a crime) or return home to legalize and face a possible bar to re-entry. When applicants choose to go the legal route, if they are found by the consular officer to be otherwise eligible for the green card, about 80 percent of the time they will receive the "extreme hardship" waiver for their prior illegal presence, although it usually takes several weeks for processing.
Of course, the media never discuss the people who get the waivers, but there have been a lot of sob stories about the minority of illegal alien applicants who could not demonstrate enough hardship and had to wait out the bar in their home country (or continue living here illegally).
There is some legitimate debate about whether the bar is effective in deterring illegal immigration, whether those who are related to U.S. citizens should get more of a break, and whether those who broke immigration laws should be excused from that and allowed to jump in line ahead of those who follow the rules. But Congress wrote the law, and only Congress has the authority to change it. Any change would be a compromise that tries to address all legitimate concerns.
Here are some of the other problems I see with the new waiver:

Treated us like royalty!! Best breakfast and great info for the area.

This was our second time staying here and everything was truly outstanding. Randee the innkeeper makes you feel right at home and serves the best breakfast that will keep you full until dinner. Love the decor in the rooms and the house. We will definitely be staying here every trip to Eureka Springs.

My wife and I stayed were most impressed by our two-night stay at Red Bud. Onsite manager Randee prepared such special gourmet breakfasts and was extremely helpful.
4,8 sur octobre 29, 2014
Our stay at the Red Bud Manor in Eureka Springs was excellent starting with a welcome from the Inn Keeper. The location was ideal for our short visit. The morning breakfast was superb and meant that we did not need any lunch. We definitely will try to return to the Red Bud Manor.
4,4 sur août 01, 2014
Very pretty setting with lovely rooms. Nice artwork throughout the Manor and the staff were friendly and provided a delicious breakfast each morning. A relaxing time; I definitely recommend this Bed & Breakfast!
4,6 sur octobre 11, 2013
Great room and great food. The innkeeper is an amazing woman and so nice!! Wish we would have stayed here the whole trip instead of the last night at the Crescent.
5 sur juillet 26, 2013
If the world-class art items decorating all the rooms weren't enough to capture your eye, how about a five-star chef to delight your palate with amazing food and drink? Owner, Cat, and Innkeeper/Chef, Randee, were the nicest people we met all weekend and had perfect recommendations for dining out and sightseeing in Eureka Springs. This is the only B&B we found that allowed one-night stays (no two-night minimum). In addition, we arrived at a time when another couple had to checkout of their room early; we received a free upgrade to the nicest room in the house and it was fabulous! A huge jacuzzi tub and private patio added to the splendor. The king bed was the nicest in which I've EVER slept. The breakfast was perfect with a spinach quiche, rosemary potatoes, and savory bacon. Randee found out it was my friend's birthday and prepared a special dessert for her of cinnamon cake, berries, and whipped cream that was chock full of excellent flavors. WOW! You can bet I'll be staying at this place again and recommending to all my friends that they do the same.
5 sur avril 08, 2013
Having visited Eureka Springs often this time we wanted to stay in the historic district, after just a short drive we came upon this property and thought of it as the most beautiful ever, and sure enough, we were pampered to the utmost, Randee, the innkeeper accomodated us in every way and Catherine was as gracious as one could be. We loved our experience so much that we booked to upcoming holidays with Red Bud Manor. Wonderfull Relaxing Experience.
5 sur avril 06, 2013
My mom and I had a wonderful experience at the Red Bud Manor. The Garden Suite was luxurious and their attention to detail was superb! They recommended things to do and places to eat in Eureka Springs which was very helpful. Our breakfast was delicious and sitting on the porch was very relaxing after a long day. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I go back, the location and service was perfect!
5 sur mars 17, 2013
We enjoyed three wonderful nights and would not consider staying anywhere else if we return to Eureka Springs. Catherine and Paul were superb hosts - most of all, they were just two especially nice people, the kind we'd like to have as ongoing friends. No detail was overlooked. Service was exceptional - they delighted us with their extras - bottle of wine awaiting us, cordial for the jacuzzi, homemade cookies, outstanding breakfasts, reheating our leftover pizza for a patio lunch, and lots of fun conversation during the meals.

|Author Laura Lee, who was broke before it was cool, offers quirky tidbits to comfort the (literally) poor soul.
From the Publisher:
The economic downturn has forced nearly everyone into a life of limited means, but author Laura Lee was broke before it was cool. She won't tell anyone to clip coupons or forego their morning latte—in fact, she won't give any guidance on how to be saved from a dark financial destiny. Instead she provides readers with a psychological how-to full of fun tidbits. Broke is Beautiful is an insightful compendium of history, inspiration, facts, and humor that all celebrate the lack of money as a gateway to more serenity, self-awareness, and yes, even security.
In the tradition of Alain de Botton's How Proust Can Change Your Life and Eric Wilson's Against Happiness: In Praise of Melancholy, here is an unconventional take on a subject that is relevant to us all. It is quirky comfort for the (literally) poor soul: offering historical and geographic perspective, ponderings on consumerism and credit scores, and even recipes for ramen noodles.

End to NHL lockout is double-edged sword for Glendale, Coyotes
When the National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association reached a tentative agreement to end a lockout on Sunday morning, some in Glendale breathed a sigh of relief and others may have begun to worry.
"It depends on your perspective," said Mike Sunnucks of the Phoenix Business Journal. "From the team's bottom line -- they lost $20 [million] or $25 million per year in recent years -- the less they actually play, the better ... Now the restaurants, the bars, the sales tax and all of them around the arena in Glendale have certainly been hurt by the games not being there."
Sunnucks said prospective buyer Greg Jamison could be prepared to finalized a deal for the team soon, as the lockout comes to a close.
"He basically has until the end of the month [January] to sign his part of the deal with Glendale and get that arena money."
If Jamison fails to purchase the team, Sunnucks said the NHL will likely maintain it's ownership of the team, but the future after that is uncertain.
"If he can't come through by the end of the month, we go back to looking at things like Seattle, Quebec City and other markets."

OK... suppose I'm kinda a newb on this forum, but I've been building, racing & riding motorcycles and cars for a few decades now.
That government study? It's full of holes and gross assumptions. It's also partially backed by the same funds that funnel to Green Peace, so just might be a bit biased. :)
I have put my old KDX 200, RD 350 and CR 500 on a 4 gas emissions analyzer while on a dyno... tuned well (and that's the key here) they are not nearly as bad as that study would have you believe. Trees aren't going to die as you ride past and the pickup you hauled the bike to the trail really probably did dump more hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.
Really want to be green?
Keep an old bike in good running condition and enjoy it... that's using far less resources than buying a new bike.

Major Update and overhaul underway for my program called WeatherBackground. Programming for Version 2.0 started this week, it's a complete rewrite as well as a new compiler. The previous method of change and updates used insecure and out of date methods. Coding began this week on a early ALPHA version. I hope to have this out to testers shortly. It is my intention to provide this program as shareware, so will be working on a donation method via the Website as well. The early release version of this will be very simple and I'll add in the complexity as I continue work on it. Stay Tuned!!
Recent update to the website included a modification to the User Information Plugin/Widget located on the Website's sidebar. I hope to release it before long. I added a bit more information that the program gathers and changed the method it was obtaining it. Upgrading it's accuracy, it is better than the previous release. It at this time it can detect certain OS's as well as certain mobile devices. At some point I may expand it even further. For now it is still in development as I'm looking at resolving some CSS related issues.

Evansville company wins contract to raze Roberts Stadium
EVANSVILLE - Closing a chapter on the long-discussed issue of Roberts Stadium, Evansville's parks board voted at a special meeting Thursday to award a $958,750 demolition contract to Klenck Co.
The project, which city officials want completed by May 1 if weather permits, will involve tearing down the venue used for sports, entertainment and exposition shows since 1956 and filling in the site for Roberts Park.
Klenck, an Evansville business, was the lowest bidder. Although the contract approved by the Board of Park Commissioners Thursday was for $958,750 — the amount of Klenck's bid — city officials said they are optimistic the actual cost will be lower.
The City Council has been told at recent meetings that the job could be done for $775,000 or so, and an offer has been received from a local contractor to remove asphalt surrounding Roberts Stadium at no cost.
That will enable the city to use dirt beneath the asphalt surrounding Roberts for land refill purposes rather than bring in dirt from off site, Parks and Recreation Director Denise Johnson said.
Having contractors' field offices in nearby Swonder Ice Arena should bring some added cost savings, Johnson said.
Mayor Lloyd Winnecke has said Roberts Park will be developed over the next few years. The city is to receive a $150,000 grant through the Welborn Baptist Foundation for purposes of planning and designing the park.
City officials have estimated the total cost of building the park at more than $5 million. It is to include a dog park and a skating area, among other things.
Also during Thursday's called meeting, the Board of Park Commissioners moved forward with plans to transfer ownership of the James Bethel Gresham Memorial Home at 2 Wedeking Ave. to ECHO Housing Corp.
The historic property will be used for transitional housing for veterans as they find new employment, said ECHO Executive Director Stephanie TenBarge.
"The Department of Labor has given us a grant to retool, reeducate and re-skill homeless veterans and place them in employment," TenBarge said. "We're committed with this grant to place 48 veterans in employment."
Veterans under threat of eviction or who are doubling up with other residents qualify as being homeless under the grant, TenBarge said.
"Not only do we have to get them employment, we have to get them housing. Even after getting a job it takes awhile to build up another income. So what we need is a (housing) incubator ... we could use local shelters, but they are all full.
"We're not talking about permanent housing. A month or two, at the most."
ECHO will seek funding to prepare the property's basement and attic for use as dormitory-style housing. Preserving the Gresham home's historical integrity will be another goal.
"We'll be working to restore it to its grandeur as much as we possibly can," TenBarge said.

The Orange County defective drugs law firm of BISNAR CHASE has had an excellent track record of representing those who have been injured by product manufacturer negligence. Taking large drug companies and corporations to court can be a significant challenge because they have formidable teams of defense lawyers who work aggressively to fight every possible allegation. They vigorously guard the corporation's image, which has probably been built over decades with a slew of carefully orchestrated advertising campaigns.
Now, what about the common man, the consumer, who does not have the financial means and the resources to fight these corporations? What if you have suffered serious health issues or complications as a result of taking a drug whose side effects you were not warned about? What if you have lost a loved one who died as a result of taking a prescribed medication? These are all questions that millions of Americans grapple with everyday.
"The answer is simple," says John Bisnar, founder of BISNAR CHASE. "Manufacturers of defective products – be it drugs or medical devices – must be held accountable. Consumers need a strong voice. They have an opportunity to exercise their rights through the civil justice system."
Filing a product liability claim and holding the defective product manufacturer civilly liable is the only recourse consumers have in such situations, Bisnar says. "Drug manufacturers and medical device makers are eager to get their products out to consumers. Long term testing takes more time than most manufacturers are willing to wait to start cashing in on their new products. Without long term testing how will the consequences of long term use of a product be discovered? Letting the consumers suffer/discover the long term consequences for themselves and the manufacturer?. We have come across many instances where manufacturers sold products knowing fully well that they are likely to cause significant injury and harm."
BISNAR CHASE is currently handling numerous cases involving Bard Avaulta transvaginal mesh implants, which is an example of blatant negligence on the part of the manufacturer. The law firm is representing hundreds of victims including California women who allege that they suffer from a variety of horrible complications including infection, erosion of the implant into the vagina, urinary problems, severe pain, depression and bowel and bladder perforation.
"These are some of the most disturbing defective product cases I've seen in my career," Bisnar says. "These women have one shot at justice – to obtain monetary compensation for their significant losses and to hold the corporation responsible for their suffering accountable. That's why finding the right law firm to represent them is so important."
BISNAR CHASE is a California-based products liability law firm with a reputation for producing results for their clients. The firm's lawyers have been featured as experts on NBC, CBS, and Fox 11. Their California class action and personal injury lawyers have assisted thousands of injured people and have obtained nearly two hundred million dollars in verdicts and settlements for their clients.

text: The new evolution in home alarms from Yale /Global/Press-and-News/News/2011/Yale-home-alarm-thumb-524x224.jpg Security specialist Yale takes home security automation to the next level with its SmartHome Alarm. Yale's new SmartHome Alarm can be customised to work with a whole host of different accessories, such as PIR movement detectors, remote keyfobs and appliance power switches, in order to meet specific home security needs. For example, the system can be set up to turn on your bedroom lamp when an intruder trips an external PIR in your back garden. The external PIR can be weight and height adjusted, but comes as pet sensitive as standard, so it'll not pick up movement from any wandering cats. With the opted accompanying doorbell, the alarm's control panel can be connected to a computer or laptop by USB to upload personal MP3 files to use as a doorbell chime. A series of phone numbers can be programmed into the alarm's control panel meaning it can be switched on and off remotely by phone, as well as the alarm's status can be checked by phone when at work or on holiday, for added peace of mind. And if it alerts, it can be programmed to call a telephone number and play a personalized message to inform which PIR has been tripped. As all the components of the SmartHome Alarm are wireless, the system can be installed easily, with minimal fuss and mess. The Yale SmartHome Alarm meets European Intruder Standard Grade 2 EN50131.

Luanda -The regional director of WHO/Afro, Luís Gomes Sambo, said that the burden of urgent health problems can be tackled through the intensification of confirmed effective intervention of high impact.
The WHO/Afro official acknowledged this at the 62nd session of the organisation running since Monday in Luanda, gathering some 500 delegates from 46 member countries of the sector.
Presenting his two-year report the regional director said the intensification of integrated disease surveillance and response of the International Health Regulations at the community level, can enable to timely detect the outbreaks and ensure an effective response to them.
Sambo also said that cross-border collaboration among member States in the area of preparedness and response to epidemics with partners, the pre-positioning of emergency kits and the setting up of rapid response teams also contributed to a quick containment and effective control of outbreaks and other diseases.
He also noted that the continued collaboration with the UN agencies and other partners through the existing mechanisms at the levels of the countries enabled assistance to the member States as well as the harmonised partnership of Health in Africa.
However, Luís Gomes also pointed out some challenges and obstacles that must be overcome urgently as mitigating the impact of a severe financial crisis affecting priority programmes.

Kindergartner's book aims to educate other kids about obesity, bullying
CHICAGO (MCT) — Children began teasing LaNiyah Bailey about her weight two years ago when she was in pre-kindergarten. She told me they called her "fatty-pants" and "big, fat elephant girl." Some kids said LaNiyah's distended abdomen looked like she was carrying a baby. One adult, a former day-care provider, even called her "fatso."
LaNiyah's mother, LaToya White, said that although most adults don't say anything, many do stare when she and her daughter are in the grocery store. LaNiyah is now 6 and weighs 115 pounds, about 70 pounds more than the average child her age.
"People look at me like, 'What are you feeding her?'" said White, 34, who works for a property management company. "When we're in the store, they look in my shopping cart expecting to find a bunch of junk food. But she's always eaten healthy."
So, as this west suburban Berkeley, Ill., child finds herself at the intersection of a couple of hot issues — the country's epidemic of childhood obesity and the destructive effects of bullying — her parents are determined to make sure neither erodes her self-esteem.
White said that she and LaNiyah's father, Songo Bailey, first noticed their daughter was gaining an abnormal amount of weight when she was 3 years old. The family met with a nutritionist who put LaNiyah on a strict 1,800-calorie-per-day diet. They also hired a personal trainer, but LaNiyah's weight continued to increase. She gained 30 pounds during 2009.
"The personal trainer said, 'Something is wrong,'" White said. "Outside of the training, she's a very active girl. She's taken dance classes, and she has a treadmill at home. And she runs around the house with our puppy."
White and Bailey took their daughter to doctor after doctor, and they blamed LaNiyah's weight on bad dietary habits.
"One doctor told me, right in front of LaNiyah's face, 'She's just fat because you're feeding her the wrong things,'" White said. "She became so self-conscious that she doesn't wear jeans at all. She wears sweat pants, and I buy her cute tops. Or she'll wear dresses because she's a girlie-girl."
Outraged and frustrated, LaNiyah's parents continued taking her to doctors until one ordered an X-ray, which showed LaNiyah had a swollen colon. Other tests have shown evidence that she may have a hormonal abnormality.
She now is being treated by an endocrinologist and a gastroenterologist.
"We want people to know that childhood obesity isn't always food-induced," said Bailey, 33, a firefighter.
Dr. Rebecca Unger, a pediatrician at Children's Memorial Hospital and a member of the Consortium to Lower Obesity in Chicago Children, said it's unusual for children to be obese because of issues not directly related to overeating. But it does happen.
"By far the most common cause of childhood obesity is the imbalance between calories in and the amount of energy expended," said Unger, who is not LaNiyah's pediatrician. "But even when a child's weight gain is because of medical reasons, the goal is to get it under control so there aren't other adverse physical and psychological effects."
White said that while LaNiyah's health was her biggest concern, she worried about how the weight was affecting LaNiyah's self-confidence. So she and her daughter decided to write about it. The result is LaNiyah's new book, "Not Fat Because I Wanna Be," self-published by her mother. (Her website is www.notfatbecauseiwannabe.com.)
LaNiyah said it explains how the teasing made her feel as well as how "you can't judge a book by its cover."
"I came home crying to my mom and dad when I got teased and bullied," said LaNiyah, who is an effervescent and cute little girl. "I want people to learn that bullying isn't cool to do to other people."
White said that when she talked with her daughter about what to put in the book, the way LaNiyah expressed her feelings broke her mother's heart.
"I showed what I had to the editor (whom White hired), and she said that we had to make it more fun to appeal to kids," White said. "But when I read it to my daughter, she said, 'I don't want it to be fun. It's not funny.'"
Bailey said that when LaNiyah told him she was writing a book, he was surprised by how motivated and self-possessed she was.
"I started to cry because I knew what she had been through and I was so impressed with her," he said. "As a firefighter, I'm obligated to protect people and it doesn't matter what they look like. It hurts me that people don't have that same decency or kindness toward my child."
White said it's not clear what LaNiyah's future will hold in terms of her weight. She just wants her daughter to be healthy.
"Right now, her confidence level is through the roof," White said. "She told me she wants to be a chef, or day-care provider or a firefighter like her dad."
White said she understands that we live in a weight-obsessed world. She said she used to sing in a group, and her record label wanted her to be super-thin.
"They make you feel like you have to be stick-thin," said White, who at 5-foot-6 weighs about 160 pounds. "At my thinnest, I was 120 pounds. I've learned to accept myself the way I am, and I want LaNiyah to accept herself too, no matter her size."
