Malgré sa petite taille, l'appartement est charmant et très bien aménagé ! Il est très facile de se rendre dans le centre ville en bus . Cécilia et Paolo sont des gens très accueillant et disponible .
Cecilia warmly greeted us and showed us around the place.
Simply, wow!!! Well designed apartment
Every corner is being used. Now, my husband cant stop comparing places we are staying in to Cecilia's and Paolos small, organized and well layed-out apartment. Definitely, it was an experience we will not forget.
The stairs however were not too friendly for us. too steep and narrow to get to the apartment. We had big bagpacks and it was hard. So, if you have any issues with stairs then, this place is not for you.
However, if you are up for an adventure and wanting to see the place, its worth.
Thank you Cecilia and Paolo for trusting us your beautiful home!
Until next time.
Deserie & Bryan
We had spent a wonderful time in Florence thank to Cecilia and Paolo! Their appartment was just amazing, clean and very cozy. From the very beginning we felt at home! Plus the bikes they have provided us with helped us a lot and we were able to get to each corner of Florence without problem. Thank you very much for our trip and please be our guests if you come to Ukraine! Grazie mille :)
GREAT PLACE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! We stayed for a month, and would go back for another month. Great wifi, great bed (it was really really comfortable!), very clean, fully fully equipped ( kitchen-- you can cook anything; they have books, recommendations on what to do, they are amazing hosts honestly) they have everything to make your stay pleasant and satisfy your needs. Possibility to use bikes which makes Firenze so easily accessible. Thank god for those bikes, im sure that we got around town more efficiently than people on foot staying at a hotel in the centro storico.. Paolo and Cecilia were very king and great hosts; easy to communicate with and available, and not invasive at all. I lost my backpack on the airplane, and P&C kindly had it delivered to their house before bringing it to our apartment. We really felt as if we had our own place. I will admit-- the place seems small-- and it is-- but it is perfect. The way everything is organized, you don't need more space. I've stayed in bigger airbnb's which weren't as convenient and pleasant to be in as this one. I mean, we cooked and washed our clothes (by hand) for a month. Even the fridge is a decent size!!
All this to say we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Ciao!
We aboslutely loved this place. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone. This place has everything you need!
Cécilia et Paolo sont très gentils, ils sont venus nous chercher à la gare malgré l'heure tardive. Le studio est dans un cartier résidentiel et beaucoup de commerces aux alentours. Malgré la petite espace, le studio est très fonctionnel et charmant.
Cecilia welcomed us very friendly and showed us the flat. Everything was exactly like on the pictures: cozy room with everything you need.
It was our first time in Florence and it was great! By bike you can reach the Dome in about 15 minutes.
We would recommend Cecilia's and Paolo's flat to everyone!!
About the Host, CECILIA E PAOLO
Siamo fiorentini doc, e ne siamo fieri, affittiamo la nostra piccola casetta a chi ha voglia di assaporare Firenze. Abitiamo a due passi, in una casa molto grande, insieme ai nostri 4 figli e due gatte. Lavoriamo tutti e due all'Università, Cecilia in biblioteca, Paolo ad architettura.
Saremo felici di ospitarvi e di darvi tutta la nostra disponibilità affinchè il vostro soggiorno sia indimenticabile

Also, I am longer into the interview and I still don't like the host's personality any better. He strikes me as the type of guy who likes to hear himself speak.
Don't JUDGE the messenger - we ALL HAVE OUR FLAWS.
I still have too much PRIDE that gets in the way all the time - every single night when I pray, one of the first things that I ask for is forgiveness of PRIDE - then I go into other sins I have committed.
If we don't ask for forgiveness then that leaves a gaping hole for the devil or his minions to sneak back in - especially PRIDE as that was the downfall of Satan, and if such a mighty - once loved angel - can fall from PRIDE, then i'm pretty sure that we humans, born into sin, can fall from the very same - and VERY easily.
Watch some of Kleck's videos and you get an idea of who he is - he is a very unique person. Honestly, I had my doubts about him at first, but you can always peer into the love and kindness of the hearts of God's chosen people:) Even if his message is incorrect, which would be Satan's attacks as he does to ALL our messages, Kleck is a very honest and caring person.
That was my last post for now, off to watch and listen.
Lots of love all!

If he gets on my nerves then he gets on my nerves. That can't be helped. Has nothing to do with judging him.

Apps that can communicate touch, taste and smell: A taste of what's to come
Rhodri Marsden wonders if it's more than people can stomach
Rhodri Marsden
Rhodri Marsden is the Technology Columnist for The Independent; he has also written about crumpets, Captain Beefheart, rude place names and string. He's also a musician who plays in the band Scritti Politti, and won the under-10 piano category at the 1980 Watford Music Festival by playing a piece called "Silver Trumpets" with verve and aplomb.
Wednesday 25 December 2013
Websites and apps are frequently described by their creators as offering a "rich experience". The beautiful designs, intuitive layouts and compelling interactivity may well be engaging and satisfying to use, but when they're hailed as being a "feast for the senses", it's evident that they're a feast for merely two.
Online entertainment is about sight and sound; everything is mediated through a glass panel and a speaker, leaving us well short of being immersed in an alternative reality. But with studies having demonstrated that more than half of human communication is non-verbal, scientists have been working on ways of communicating touch, taste and smell via the internet, and many of those experiments have been gathering pace.
"What do you smell?" asks Adrian Cheok, professor of pervasive computing at City University London. The whiff of melon is unmistakable; it emerged from a tiny device clipped to an iPhone and was triggered by Cheok standing on the other side of the room. "Right," he says. "These devices have been commercialised in Japan – they're selling 10,000 units a month – and they're bringing smells into a social interface." It's still early days with this technology; the device I'm holding is similar to an inkjet printer in that it contains a melon "smell sachet", and when it's empty you have to buy another one. Nor is it a particularly new concept; in 1999, Wired magazine ran a front cover story about a company called Digiscents that had produced a USB "personal scent synthesiser" for your computer called the iSmell. Digiscents folded two years later. But the technology that failed to excite us back then now looks slightly less gimmicky in the context of modern smartphone usage, with its super- connectivity and emoticons galore.
On the surface, Cheok's projects are fun, almost throwaway. "I've worked on hugging pyjamas," he says. "They consist of a suit you can put on your body to virtually hug someone, remotely. Then we have these small haptic rings; if I squeeze my ring someone else will feel a squeeze on theirs through the internet – like a remote sensation of hand-holding." He's also been working on a device with electrodes that excites taste receptors on the tongue, producing an artificial sensation of taste in the brain. Similar work is also under way at the National University of Singapore, where a team of researchers is constructing a "digital lollipop" that fools the tongue into experiencing sweet, salt, sour or bitter tastes.

In the shorter term, the applications of these devices seem slightly frivolous; Cheok's rings, for example, are being turned into a product that the music industry plans to sell to fans. "You go to the concert," he says, "the pop star would send a special message, and if you're wearing the ring you'd get a squeeze on your finger." I grimace slightly, and he laughs.
"Fortunately or unfortunately," he says, "that's where they've decided that the money is – but we need to explore the boundaries of how these things can be used, because scientists and inventors can't think of all the possibilities. For example, Thomson Reuters has been in touch to ask about using the rings to send tactile information about stock prices or currency movements."
Our transition to an internet of all the senses is evidently dependent on the breadth of information that can be conveyed from one person to another as a series of zeroes and ones. "You have to find a way of, say, transmitting smell digitally, without using a sachet," says Cheok.
"So I'm working with a French neuroscientist, Olivier Oullier, on a device which can produce an artificial sensation of smell through magnetic actuation. The olfactory bulb in our nasal cavity that's responsible for smell can be stimulated by pulsing magnetic fields. So this is about directly exciting the brain's neural path by bypassing the external sensor – in this case the human body."
This immediately plunges us into what seems like incredibly futuristic territory, where brains are communicating sensory information directly with other brains across digital networks. But it's already been demonstrated by the synthetic neurobiology group at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) that optical fibre can be connected to neurons, and Cheok is excited about where this may lead in the relatively short term. "We will have direct connection to the brain within our lifetime," he says, "although what level that will be I'm not sure. Physical stimulation of neurons may not produce the effects that we would hope for and predict."
Few of us can conceive of the pace with which technological power is developing. Ray Kurzweil (author, futurist, and a director of engineering at Google) predicts that by 2025 we'll have a computer which has the processing power of the human brain, and by 2045 it'll have the processing power of six billion brains – ie, everyone on the planet. Cheok sees these as hugely important tipping points for society. "If you're able to download your brain to a computer, there are major philosophical questions that we'll have to deal with in the next 30 years, such as whether we're human, or whether we're computers."
Society will also have to work out how it's going to handle the hyper-connectivity of a multisensory internet – bearing in mind that we can already become deeply frustrated by the few kilobytes of information contained within the average overloaded email inbox. Text messages that are not replied to already provoke consternation – what about unreciprocated touches, provocative odours or unwanted tastes?
"Our brains haven't changed to cope with infinite communication," says Cheok. "We don't have a mechanism for knowing when there's too much, in the way that we do when we've eaten too much food. Communication is not just a desire, it's a basic need – but we've gone from being hunter-gatherers in groups of 20 or 30 to being in a world of infinite data. We could literally gorge on communication and be unable to stop. We'll have to find new norms and new mechanisms, but it's difficult to predict what they will be."
Marshall McLuhan, the Canadian philosopher of communication theory, famously used the term "global village" to describe the effect of connected media upon the world's population; it has become overused, but Cheok believes that new sensory-communication channels will demonstrate how prescient that prediction was. "For most of human history, we didn't have privacy," he says. "Everyone knew who was doing what. And these developments will mean that we become more and more open – the end of secrecy, almost bringing us back to the way that life used to be in hunter-gatherer times. Except, of course, it's now global. A lot more people will know."
The implications of the work of Cheok and his contemporaries seem to sit midway between exciting and terrifying, but in the shorter term it's about focusing on relatively mundane objectives, such as emitting multiple odours from a smartphone. "People will get used to this new mode of communication," says Cheok, "and develop new languages. We don't yet have a language of smell, or of touch; exactly the same pressure in terms of a touch can have a completely different response in the brain, depending on context. But combined with emotion and the subconscious, it'll bring a heightened sense of presence. I want us to be able to eat together across the internet. I've no idea what that will feel like," he adds, smiling, "but I've always believed that human communication goes far beyond the logical."

It also makes me more confident to work with people from different countries. After I graduated from QUT, I worked as an account broker at a global insurance broker firm, "AON".My key responsibility is to arrange both local/global clients' employee insurance and provide employee benefit consultation service to help clients get the best practice and meet the budget in Taiwan. After 1 year, I changed my career to become an International Education Consultant. Help students arrange their study overseas, especially in Australia. Also help them figure out their study and career path, and how can them reach the goal. Furthermore, I also make marketing plan to develop potential clients and work with local universities as strategies partners. I am looking forward to bring my developed skills which include: 1. Analyze clients' requirement from different aspects and provide solutions (recommendation). 2.

And all of these also are through the help of my personal testing skills via; on line selling, personal or direct marketing, networking businesses and etc... I am fluent in writing and understanding English and very good in basic verbal English. I am dedicated and honest person, flexible to do the tasks,friendly and very easy to work with. My goals and plans with regards to these field: * to strive and learn more,not only of what I knew but most especially of what other things that I didn't know yet. * to work harder and to find works from home-based; * to interact to other while at work from home; * to give my excellent service to every client.

Howson cannot continue on like this. I don't expect Nash to sit through all of this ********, then say "oh well" around training camp and report like a good soldier.
Nash wanted this done quietly, and that clown Howson has made this nothing short of a circus. Sooner or later Nash and his agent will become more assertive/vocal.
His crazy trade demands will have to go down, whether it's because of a dwindling market (after July 1 with Parise signing somewhere, if Ryan gets moved, etc.), or because Nash becomes more vocal/sits out camp.
I'm very doubtful of a Ryan deal solely because our package will center around Stepan. Stepan for Ryan is a stupid move, plain and simple.
I think in mid-late July we get Nash for a package of Dubi, MDZ, Miller, Thomas, and a first. Something along those lines.

Could Deron Williams be the next Carmelo Anthony situation?
Jan 24, 2011, 10:01 PM EDT
Next season, Deron Williams will make a cool $16.4 million. The year after that he will make a cool $17.8 million to lead the Utah Jazz — if he picks up his player option.
Utah has been a frustrating place for Williams this season. They started out the season hot, as the cardiac kids winning all the close games. But that caught up with Utah. It has lost four in a row and the team has not been able to find a consistent footing all campaign, which led Williams to drop this line on David Aldridge of NBA.com:
"My contract's up in two years. It's a now or never situation. I don't know what I'm going to do after this one."
That is not quite a Carmelo Anthony level warning, more like a pre-warning that things are headed that direction. More Chris Paul telling the Hornets to get it together or he would push his way out.
Next season Williams could do what 'Melo has done this year — tell the Jazz that he will opt out and will not re-sign in Utah. He'll be low key if he does, but he is too big a star for something like that to stay low key. So could Chris Paul, and Dwight Howard has an early termination option on his deal. In an era where superstars are trying to combine and work some of that out themselves, there is a lot in play.
The warning should scare Utah to its core. This is a small market franchise that does not have the money to spend to build a Lakers-like team. They couldn't keep Carlos Boozer last summer. They lost Kyle Korver and Wes Mathews. And while the roster has been rebuilt with some decent players — Al Jefferson, rookie Gordan Haywood — they are not the same.
What may be Utah's one ace in the hole the new Collective Bargaining Agreement — nobody knows what it will look like, but there could be things that help Utah. The money for a max deal may be so much less than the $17.8 he is scheduled to make that he decides to stay for at least another year. Maybe there are franchise tags. Maybe a lot of things.
But right now, D-Will is not thrilled with his team and that could be the first steps in a long, painful march for the Jazz and its fans.
- leearmon - Jan 24, 2011 at 10:43 PM
This is a frightening trend for small market teams. Unfortunately players now see that they need more than one "star" to win a championship, and they all are heading to the bigger sexier markets to unite. It began with the Celtics, but once Gasol was traded to L-A it has really snowballed. Deron is a trickier case however, because playing in Utah I have the feeling that he has been lost in the mainstream's eye because of his location, and lack of visibility.

Mike Wilkinson, Detroit News staff writer
The 2010 census numbers released last month confirmed an epic population loss for Detroit: Once the fifth largest in the country, the city is now No. 18, having lost 1 in 4 people in just 10 years.
But a Detroit News analysis of neighborhood-level areas shows the pain was not evenly spread. Some areas had steep declines into vast wastelands of burned-out homes and trash-strewn lots. But there are also pockets of vibrancy creating hope among city boosters and those bent on transforming Detroit.

The stark differences between neighborhoods could profoundly affect how the city reshapes itself as leaders draft a sweeping blueprint for the future.

SEOUL Their skin is smooth, their hair is salon-fresh, and between them they've sold millions of records. Now, they are making it acceptable for young Asian men to buy beauty products.
South Korea's male K-pop icons have been enlisted by the country's cosmetics firms as they try to expand beyond its borders to take on global giants like L'Oreal (OREP.PA) and Unilever (ULVR.L) across the continent.
"The male K-pop stars are very good looking and I think the make up helps them look good. So why not me as well?" said Lenard Heng, a 26-year old graphic designer, out clubbing in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.
South Korean men spend $900 million a year on beauty products, more than a fifth of the global total, research firm Euromonitor says. But even the vanity of a nation is no longer much of a growth opportunity.
By contrast, in the emerging markets of Asia the middle class is rapidly expanding, and with it opportunities to sell goods like foundation, lip balm, skincare lotions and eyeliner. Demand for personal care products will rise by over 40 percent in China and Indonesia alone in the next five years, Euromonitor estimates.

Link to video story: link.reuters.com/med54t
In these flourishing economies, South Korean companies like Amorepacific Corp (090430.KS) and LG Household & Healthcare Ltd (051900.KS) want to establish themselves as premium products with a distinctly Asian sensibility.
"Using male K-pop stars charms the ladies. It may also prompt younger men to want to look more like these idols," said Kim Jungcheon, Chief Executive Officer of South Korean cosmetics firm Tonymoly.
For the region's young men who were raised on K-pop, the metrosexual appeal of South Korean boy bands like 2PM, Big Bang and Super Junior, their faces glowing with youth, is a quality Western or Japanese competitors cannot deliver.
"In Korea male stars use foundation so a few of my guy friends in Bangkok have started wearing foundation too," said 28-year-old Thai man Pitak Iamsamang.
By pushing out into Asia, South Korean cosmetics firms are treading a path established by compatriot manufacturing giants Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) and Hyundai Motor Co (005380.KS), which simply outgrew their rich but small home of 50 million people.
Cosmetics firms also hope to use the appeal of K-pop's divas to market their wares to women, still the core market for beauty products.
Slick acts like Girls' Generation, a group of nine women whose street-styled dance routines, long legs and infectious pop hooks have taken Asia by storm, all add to the aspirational pull of "Brand Korea".
"Cosmetics sales tend to mirror the popularity of Korean cultural exports, so K-pop stars are the best way to market our products," said Kim Hee-jeong, marketing manager of LG Household's The Face Shop, which has over 1,000 overseas stores.
Overall, South Korea's cosmetics market was worth $4.4 billion in 2011, according to the Korean Cosmetics Association, and is nearing saturation. Its exports, however, totalled just $775 million in 2011, dwarfed by L'Oreal, which sold $4.71 billion worth of goods in the Asia Pacific region.
Still, the total value of South Korean cosmetics exports has doubled since 2007, three-quarters of which went to China and Southeast Asia, data from the association showed.
Mass brands such as Amorepacific's Etude House and Tonymoly play up their origins by blaring out K-pop hits while sales agents chirp "annyeonghasaeyo" (hello) in stores from Ulan Bator to Manila, backed by posters of heart-throbs like boy band JYJ.
Women like Nattakarn Nattudee, a 35 year-old shopping for cosmetics in Bangkok, have bought into the K-pop sales pitch.
"Posters of Korean pop stars with their bright, clear faces make me want to buy the products so I can have clear skin like them," she said. (Additional reporting by Amy Sawitta Lefevre in Bangkok and Niluksi Koswanage in Kuala Lumpur; Editing by Daniel Magnowski and David Chance)

Political arithmetic means you never cut spending in your own background. Maybe it will be easier to raise taxes. Oh, I forgot that would be unconstitutional.

Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services: Medicare Program; Changes to the Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems and Fiscal Year 2008 Rates
GAO-07-1200R: Sep 6, 2007
Additional Materials:

GAO reviewed the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) new rule on the Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems and fiscal year 2008 rates. GAO found that (1) the rule revises the Medicare hospital inpatient prospective payment system for operating and capital-related costs and sets limits on the rate of increase for certain hospitals and hospital units that are excluded from the inpatient prospective payment system and that are paid on a reasonable cost basis or are paid under the inpatient prospective payment system with a portion of that payment based on reasonable cost principles; and (2) with the exception of the delay in the rule's effective date, CMS complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

MATT HUGHES, the meteorologist and star of 'Storm Chasers' on the Discovery Channel, has passed away aged 30, reports the Los Angeles Times. Despite his passion for the often dangerous 'Storm Chasing', reports are suggesting that Smith's death was unrelated to his extreme hobby.
Fans only learned of Hughes' death in yesterday's (November 3rd 2010) episode of the show, which featured a dedication to his memory. The 30-year-old passed away on May 26th 2010 in Witchita, Kansas, however, little is known surrounding the cause of death. 'Storm chasing' is essentially the act of pursuing an extreme weather condition for adventure, scientific exploration, or for media coverage. Hughes and his team were particularly drawn to 'chasing' tornados, and in last night's episode Hughes led his team to what the Discovery Channel called 'their best tornado intercept ever'
Hughes was an experienced chaser and joined the team during the 2009 tornado season, he is survived by his wife Kendra and two boys, Hunter and Collin. A memorial fund has been established to benefit Hughes' children.

Your friends may laugh at you when you tell them you know how to read handwriting from the 1500s, but if you go through the online tutorials Vona Williams shared Wednesday at the Conference on Family History and Genealogy, your friends will have to wipe the smirks off their faces.
Williams is the manager of British reference at the Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She teaches a class there on how to read "Secretary Hand," a handwriting that was common between 1485 and 1650.To the modern eye, secretary hand looks like Egyptian or like a doctor's note to a pharmacist. But according to Williams, it only takes about six weeks to become an expert. "All it takes is practice," she said.

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB SuperClocked Video Cards in SLI - Pricing, Availability and Final Thoughts
Pricing, Availability and Final Thoughts
The first thing we've got to talk about is the pricing of the EVGA video card we've got here today. Coming in at $659.99 or $10 more expensive than the reference cooled design at the time of writing, I'd go almost as far to say that you'd be crazy to not spend the extra money and grab this cooler (model) over the reference model. Not only does it look great, but you can see from the numbers here today that it's a lot more efficient than the reference cooler.
The only problem, though, is availability. While listed at Newegg, most people probably feel the same way as us and feel it would be insane to not spend the extra $10 for this cooler and this out of the box overclock. For that reason it's one of only two GTX 780's that are currently completely sold out. If you're happy to wait, we'd suggest grabbing this over a reference cooled GTX 780, of course if you need it now, then you don't really have too much of a choice right now.
Getting onto the performance side of things, we can't really comment too much about the single video card performance with the overclock on offer here today, but we can tell from past experience that the strong out of the box overclock on the core is going to give a nice bump in gaming performance. While EVGA have chosen to leave the memory clock alone, this isn't a huge surprise as we know that overclocking the memory has little effect when it comes to real added performance. Instead you'd always be better off getting as much out of the core as possible, and that's what EVGA has done.
Covering the performance we can talk about SLI and just as you'd hope and expect really, it is fantastic. There's consistently strong gains in almost everything we benched over a single card setup and overall everything is playable at every setting. The only time we really see the setup fall short is with Nexuiz 2560 x 1600 and Sleeping Dogs 2560 x 1600 with AA and AF turned on, and those are both really intensive gaming configurations.
Really there isn't much more to say here today about the EVGA GTX 780 that we've got on hand. They've done a really excellent job when it comes to improving on the reference design that NVIDIA provided by adding a great cooler and giving us a strong out of the box overclock. Spending your money on this video card surely won't disappoint.

In the Edible Garden: Cover strawberries with straw after the ground freezes. Create a journal to record what worked in '07. Be specific about varieties that performed well. If possible, record soil amendments to track how beds perform next year.
In the Edible Garden: Place all weeds, leaves and disease-free dead plant material in the compost pile. Clean and store all your garden equipment and tools.
In the Edible Garden: Dig up vegetable garden after killing frost and incorporate a 2-4 inch layer of organic matter. Plants left in the garden will serve as over wintering sites for insects. Do not compost diseased plants. Compost rarely reaches temperatures required to kill most plant pathogens. Bag or burn the diseased plant material.
In the Edible Garden: Fall is the ideal time to have your soil tested since this is the slow season for labs. For a free soil testing kit, call 773-233-0476. Plant a green manure crop such as oats or rye in vacant garden areas to add organic matter to the soil. Till into the soil in the spring. For a listing of seed sources for green manure crops, call 773-233-0476.
In the Edible Garden: Sow radish, lettuce, spinach, beet and turnip seed late in the month. If you have an empty area in the garden, consider planting a green manure crop. Sow seeds of oats, rye or buckwheat. When dug or tilled into the soil in the spring, green manure crops improve soil structure and add nutrients.Plant a final crop of beans in early August. Keep germinating seeds moist.
In the Edible Garden: Plant late season vegetables by mid-July. Note the number of "days to harvest" indicated on seed packets. Direct seed beets, beans, collards, cucumbers, summer squash and cabbage. Check out the University of Illinois Extension website, "Common Problems for Vegetable Crops".
In the Edible Garden: Stop harvesting rhubarb and asparagus to allow foliage to develop and store food reserves for next year's harvest. When crops like squash & cucumbers are planted in a circle or hill, place a stick upright in the middle of the circle & leave it there. Later on you'll know where to water the main roots hidden under the vines.
In the Edible Garden: Tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, melons, peppers & eggplant need at least 8 hrs. of sunlight for best fruit production. Plant warm-season vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and vine crops after mid-May.Control cucumber beetles, carriers of cucumber wilt, as soon as cucumbers germinate to prevent disease. This disease will cause plants to wilt and die just as cucumbers start producing.
In the Edible Garden: Harden off transplants before planting outdoors. Gradually expose plants to outdoor conditions over a 5-7 day period. Plant late varieties of potatoes on top of the ground in straw.
In the Edible Garden: Plant onion sets in late March. Till vegetable beds. Never till the soil when wet. Try the soil squeeze test first. Take a handful of soil and squeeze. If the soil forms a ball, let it dry for 2-3 days. If it crumbles easily through your hand, it is ready to till.

Comments about 'Lunch is served free to Utah kids at risk of going hungry'
- Oldest first

Parts of this program and the participants are worthy and excellent examples.
Other parts are nothing but massive federal bureaucracies shoveling money out the door to keep people dependent forever.
Private donations, recipients helping prepare the meals, are all great. Keep it up!
Beating the bushes to round up more "takers" is not good. If they are really hungry, they will come. Unfortunately, some who simply spend for non-essentials instead of food, or who are lazy will also come. Raising eligibility to 185% of the poverty level is bad. At some point people need to be responsible for themselves. If 185% should be included, why not 250% or 500% as well? Is this a safety net for the desperate, or a hammock for those who do not want to work?
The Utahns against Hunger are surely well meaning and do a lot of good, however, they measure their success by how many people they can get into welfare programs. They really should measure success by how many people no longer need their help.
Again, this is a mixed story, but it reinforces that most Utahns are generous and sharing people.

I have to wonder why anyone in the United states is going hungry while 47 million people are getting foodstamps. It just doesn't add up. If they're getting foodstamps they should be able to feed themselves. If they're hungry because they're not getting foodstamps they should apply. To solve a problem you have to understand what the problem is. Solving this one requires us to find the answer to that question, why is anyone hungry when 47 million people are getting foodstamps?

They should never call it a "free meal". What they should do, is inform
these people that others covered the costs and distribution of these meals.
Someone else had to work for it. Once people understand where their food is
coming from, it's no longer an entitlement, but, real people, making real
sacrifices to help others. For the honest in heart, they will think at some
point when they're off the system they'll also contribute back to
I wish we had gardens that these people can work in for a bit, to pay for these meals. There needs to be a sense of them actually earning it, rather than just handing it out. There is no shame in earning your meal. That's what (now) a minority of the country does, while the rest get to enjoy subsidized food, housing, healthcare, bike lanes etc. The majority living off the spoils of the minority. Kinda brings us back to the 1600-1800's USA again....

In many areas we have people who are among the working poor, like most SNAP beneficiaries, they are teachers, construction workers, factory workers, retail and service-industry workers. They may not qualify for the SNAP program, but they still are not paid enough to get by. It is not their standard of living as much as the fact that their companies know they can pay them next to nothing (especially in rural areas) and they have to accept that or nothing.

It appears to me this program may have a laudable goal of providing food for
people who are hungry but it is short sighted. There are various social
programs that provide either money or stamps to purchase food items at grocery
stores, or obtain food items from pantries with which the parent can, or should
be to prepare a meal for themselves or dependent minors.
The economy is not up to par but the end result of giving "free" meals to people is to create a dependency that will not lead to independence but an underclass that will constantly have a hand out and refuse to work when they have the opportunity.
Why work when you can sit around and wait for someone to provide you with a meal. Next there will be protests because the content does not meet your expectations. Another result is parents who cannot cook a meal from basic ingredients and will not be able to survive once the "free" food is no more.
