Some people read the Monday Morning Memo
for tips and techniques to grow their businesses.
Other readers are just looking for a stimulating jolt of thought juice.
It was for these juice readers that I, Indiana Beagle, created The Rabbit Hole.
MIT professor and physicist Alan Lightman talks about our need for this juice in his book,
A Sense of the Mysterious:
"Not long ago, sitting at my desk at home, I suddenly had
the horrifying realization that I no longer waste time."
Think back. Haven't your best discoveries,
epiphanies and realizations happened by happy accident?
Think of the rabbit hole as a carefully constructed happy accident.
click the image below the title
of any Monday Morning Memo.
In the older, archived MMMemos,
the image will be above the title.
I think.
Want look into a rabbit hole right now?
1. Click the image above the title of
the current Monday Morning Memo
1. Go to the archives of the Monday Morning Memo,
2. Click the Read Memo link under any title published after April 30, 2007.
3. Click the image that appears just above the title of the memo.

Wait. You're not done yet.
Each uppermost image in a rabbit hole can be clicked to take you deeper.
The pages in a rabbit hole are loosely connected by a theme.
The terminus page of the rabbit hole is where I give you the BeagleSword.
If you click beyond the terminus page,
you're on your own.
The wizard and I make no apology and
offer no explanation for what you
find in the rabbit hole.
With a beagle, you just never know.

Past guest speakers for the event have included CBS-2 Chicago sports anchor and WGN Radio host Jill Carlson, Chicago Tribune reporter Paul LaTour and ESPN 100 Radio host Harry Teinowitz.

When Google released the new Gmail interface, one of the missing features was custom themes. Now you can create your own themes, but they're very limited as you can only choose between a light or dark interface and pick a background image.
To try the new feature, click the "settings" button, choose "themes" (or use this URL), scroll down to "custom themes", click "light" or "dark" and select an image. You can pick one of the great featured images from Picasa Web, choose one of your photos, use the search feature, upload an image or paste a URL. A similar interface is used for Google homepage's custom background feature.
You'll probably notice that custom themes are just like Gmail's HD themes launched last year, except that you can choose your own image. "Themes are now implemented as semitransparent layers on top of a large background image. Each theme uses either a dark or light variant of most UI elements to balance legibility and visibility of the background image, allowing the background image to peek through and provide color and personality," explained Google at that time.
Gmail's new themes are more adaptable and show the entire image, but you can't customize colors, fonts and all the other details of the interface. The old custom themes feature allowed you to "select colors for everything from the background of your inbox to link text".

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES The Green River has wild populations of rainbows, trophy browns and cutthroats. The golden stone and gray drake hatches are legendary in midsummer, providing some of the best dry fly fishing anywhere.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES First fish of the day. The pace was as brisk as the river flow. We caught dozens of trout during our afternoon float and lost several bigger fish including a couple of decent browns.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Hunting is allowed in sections of the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, but not here. The Upper Green River courses through 36 miles of the refuge.

Ive been wearing my old Bauer, all leather interior, ice hockey boot on a very strong, milled chassis for about 10 years now. They are perfectly formed to my feet and very comfortable.
Occasionally ive tried on other skates, but cant get away from the comfort and speed I have in my old Bauers.
I finally decided to try on some new skates and decided to order them online since Inline Warehouse has such a good return policy and prices.
I had every belief that I would be returning them, not being satisfied with something about the skate.
And heres the results.
Out of the box upon first skate, they felt a little stiff (which is good) and they had a quick glide to them.
Not yet convinced, I then skated them for a one hour practice, and there was no lag in their speed. They felt as quick and responsive as my old ones, and I havent even taken out and relubed the barrings yet.
Now ive worn them for 4 games and 9 practices.
And I gotta tell ya, they have proved all of my concerns wrong.
They have felt great from the first practice and still until this last (ninth) practice. No rubbing parts of my feet sore, no ankle soreness getting used to new skates, just a little footbed ache due to the very thin insole. But I bought the yellow Superfeet insoles and the comfort is primo. I have 21 hours in them so far and I am happy with them.
I am not even going to bake them since they are already so comfortable and forming to my foot so well.
I am about 200lbs. Hockey skate 3 days a week. Shoe size is 10 and a wide foot and the Bauer skate size 8.5EE is perfect.
I would definitely buy this skate again and will recommend it to friends.
Thank you Inline Warehouse for your great "how to" videos to help ensure we get the right equipment the first time.

Comments: Comments:Bauer makes a great skate and the Vapor XR5 is one of the best they have to offer. It is a comfortable boot very durable. The Hi-Lo wheel design is great for speed and maneuverability. If you like Bauer ice skates, these are the skates for you. It's as if they took off the blade and replaced it with wheels. I would highly recommend these skates to anyone looking for a top of the line pair of roller skates.
From: Josh, HI
Comments: This is a fantastic value offering from Bauer. Very few people would ever
need more skate than this. The boot is the same thing as the Vapor X5.0 ice skate-
very liteweight and stiff with an extremely comfortable synthetic liner. I have that
boot and think it is more comfortable than my RX60 skate. The frame is lite and
strong aluminum, actually much stronger than magnesium in many ways and the
skate has Swiss bearings-really the best rating available. Lastly the Labeda D3 wheel
is a great wheel that is sure to impress and offer adaquate performance for any
skater. This skate could easily have been a top of the line skate 5 years ago and still
now is a fantastic offering at a reasonable price when compared to top skates that
are now costing $600-$800+
From: Matt, CO
Comments: This is a great skate from Bauer. Extremely durable, very comfortable and fits like a glove. Last years model didn't fit me quite right and I'm glad I waited for this years skate. I work at a rink 5-6 days a week, sometimes multiple sessions a day, and play 2 days a week and I've not had any problems with this skate. I swapped out the wheels on the skate for some Addictions, but that's a personal preperence and b/c I'm a heavier guy at 190. The upgrade to the APXR isn't really worth it for $300 more just to get the Addiction wheels, Mag chassis, and an optional strip of small padding in the toe cap. This is definately a major upgrade for the money over the XR4 for an advanced level player looking to take their game to the next level. The Mission Swiss LE bearings are a little slow in comparison to some other brands of Swiss bearings, but are still quite fast (I currently use Bevo's Swiss, but prefer BSB's Swiss which is the best I've ever rolled on)

Little Angela grabbed a tiny handful of coarse, off-white sand and slung it up into the air.
It's good that she was standing with her side to the sea breeze blowing in warmly on this dull, overcast day. She had to act quickly while her nanny, Miss Elizabeth, had turned away down shore to look back to the beachfront house that served as the winter residence. Angela was not supposed to throw sand.
But she had purpose in her momentary act of defiance of propriety. Angela intently observed the sand as it billowed away toward a tuff of dune. She looked for white sparkles like those she had seen in her picture book that she had brought down with her on the train. But the lack of sun did not provide sparkles.
Angela adored her new Christmas book. She couldn't read many of the large-type words yet. But she didn't need to know all the words, for she could gaze at the colorful illustrations, and she so adored them. There's the page with the tree loaded with decorations and packed with presents underneath. Then there's the page with a mom and dad and little girl walking on the sidewalk surrounded by snow.
That's why Angela wanted to pick up a handful of the white beach sand. Her mom and dad always left the big house before Thanksgiving for the beach house down South, and Angela always missed the winter snow. It never snowed here on the beach. But the book made snow look so wonderful and the little picture-book family so happy.
So Angela, daydreaming of her new Christmas book, saw an opportunity with Miss Elizabeth's back turned and threw the sand high in the air to fall away like the snow in the book.
She was disappointed, though. The sand looked nothing like the blowing snow portrayed in the book. A shining sun might have made some of the sand grains dazzle like the snowflakes in the book for an instant. But even that would have fallen short of the effect Angela was seeking here on the beach.
That evening Angela opened her new Christmas book again as she lay on her white canopy bed. She stared for the longest time at the page with the family walking in the snow. Oh, she burned inside with the desire for snow, even here at the beach. She longed to see snow, to touch snow. And for her and her parents to be as happy the family portrayed in the book.
Suddenly without a knock the bedroom door opened and in came Angela's mother. The little girl delighted in seeing her mother come in at night after she had been tucked in by Miss Elizabeth. Angela did not get to see her mother some nights.
"Hello, little darling," the mother said sweetly. Angela had noticed that her mother liked to call her that instead of by her name, except when her mother was angry. "Let's try on your Christmas dress from last year. I want to take another look at it."
Angela got out of bed as her mother moved to open the closet doors. Her mother moved hangars looking for the dress that had come from the trunk packed back at the big house a month ago. She pulled from the closet a very nice dress with layers of slick, dark blue cloth below the waist and with embroidery at the edges.
At the party last Christmas, Angela's mom and dad flowed from guest to guest cooing about how pretty was this special dress. Angela wanted to hear how pretty she was as well.
"Here it is. Let me help you into it," said Angela's mother as she strolled over to the little girl beside the bed.
At her mother's direction Angela turned around in her Christmas dress. Angela awaited more compliments like those she heard last Christmas, but she turned back to face her mother who displayed clenched lips. Angela stood rigid for the longest time; she feared she had done something wrong.
"No, that won't do," her mother finally blurted out. "That is so, so – last year. I'll send you with Miss Elizabeth tomorrow to get something new."
The first item of the next morning following breakfast in the dining room was for Angela and Miss Elizabeth to ride up to the shopping district. The chauffeur whom Angela called Mr. Fred stood tall and still while waiting for them under the portico as they exited the side door. The little girl knew the drill; it was identical to last year's.
Angela didn't care much for this sequel of the Christmas dress trip. She tried on many under Miss Elizabeth's watchful and rather stern eye. The little girl quickly grew tired of it all, especially with the absence of her mother's sweet compliment on the final choice. Angela will have to wait for that at the party, now about a week away.
In a blur the two with the box under Miss Elizabeth's arm were out the store's front door and waiting at the curb for pickup by Mr. Fred. Suddenly Angela's trance was broken by the car as Mr. Fred pulled up. After the two got in, with Mr. Fred out and holding the door, the routine was broken with the car's silence.
"What's wrong?" Miss Elizabeth asked impatiently. "I don't know," replied Mr. Fred, his mind busily churning with possible diagnoses: battery, coil and such. "I'll have to call for someone to come out."
Angela and Miss Elizabeth waited back inside the store. Time passes slowly for a little girl, and the monotony was broken when another little girl holding the hand of her mother saddled up beside at the front window. Angela felt intimidated by the big woman who did not look like a nanny. Miss Elizabeth never took Angela's hand except to drag her somewhere.
The two girls stared at each other. In the silence Angela looked over the little girl's dress with a piece of the hem torn. She did not wear socks with her scuffed, worn shoes.
When the big woman released the girl's hand and reached to check a price tag of a pair of women's black shoes near the back of the store window, Angela saw her chance to break the ice.
"My name's Angela," she blurted out. "Hello" came a weak reply. Never a shy one, Angela spoke her mind: "I just got my new Christmas dress. Are you getting one too?"
"I don't think so," said the new little friend who surveyed with more than a touch of envy Angela and her clean, new pink sweater.
"Something's wrong with our car. Mr. Fred said it will take a while to get some help," Angela started chattering. She never met a stranger. "What are you getting for Christmas?"
"Well." The new friend looked at the floor. "Momma said she hoped we could get a chicken."
"No, I mean what toys are you getting?" said Angela, giggling. The little friend fell silent and just shook her head briefly.
During the ensuring silence Miss Elizabeth stepped back into the store following a brief check with Mr. Fred.
In a short time in came a man wearing overalls and carrying a pair of worn work boots. He stepped around Miss Elizabeth and Angela, and Angela's gaze followed him until she saw her new little friend's face glowing.
"Got 'em," the man with the boots told the big woman, who broke into a wide grin. "And I've still got a few nickels left over. Now let's get me some work after the holidays, and I can put these new soles to some good use."
The man led a procession back out the door with the big woman holding the hand of the trailing girl wearing the torn hem. Outside, they turned right and disappeared.
Angela, now no longer little, thinks back to that childhood memory these days and warmly remembers that was moment when the Light flickered.
Back on that night, with little Angela in her white canopy bed at the beach, she replayed the scene in the store over and over with the family that looked so sad but at the same time seemed so full of hope and joy.
The little girl back then had not yet known of prayer. She knew God as only a word to use when angry.
So in her bed in the dark Angela just said aloud, "I hope they get that chicken."
At that moment little Angela began teaching herself a new definition of Christmas. The Light that flickered was the one now in her heart.

An innovative, long-term senior care center is one step closer to breaking ground in Aiken, having received state approval of its certificate-of-need application.
CSRA Senior Living Inc. is a nonprofit, locally-organized entity created to own and operate the skilled nursing, rehab, assisted living and dementia care center that will be located on 20 acres of land off Trolley Line Road, across from the athletic fields at USC Aiken.
Last week, the volunteer board's certificate-of-need application and tax-exempt bond financing were approved by the state.
"These approvals allow us to continue preparations for financing and construction in May," said board chairman John Oakland. "We are excited to be closer to bringing this new model of care to our community."
The concept of the new facility is that it is a series of "houses" rather than a "nursing home."
The 12 homes will each house up to 10 residents, and the facility will provide assisted living, a memory support center and a skilled nursing center.
Groundbreaking for the facility is expected in May, with an opening slated for mid-2014.
"Residents will stay in a private room, equipped to provide for more personalized care by licensed professionals," said Mike Harris, president of Cornerstone Senior Living, which developed and operated the Brandon Wilde Retirement Community in Augusta and is developing the Graniteville project. "Other communities with similar designs have documented higher levels of independence, improved clinical outcomes and higher satisfaction among their residents and higher visitation and satisfaction by family members."
South Carolina is one of more than 35 states that use a certificate-of-need review, which evaluates whether a proposed service or facility is needed, according to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.
The process helps contain health care costs; prevents unnecessary duplication of health care facilities and services, which can drive up costs; guides the establishment of health facilities; and ensures high quality services are provided in those facilities.
Health care providers must obtain the approval before they can build new health care facilities, spend more than $2 million to improve or expand a health care facility or add beds to increase patient capacity.
"It is a lengthy, arduous process," Harris said, adding that the application was filed with the state in June.
According to Harris, the concept for this radical departure from traditional nursing home care was pioneered more than 10 years ago, and while more than 150 such facilities exist nationwide, this one will be the first of its kind in South Carolina.
"The model itself, the approach, is good for virtually any area of the country. It is a distinctly different way of providing nursing care," Harris said. "When a visitor or a resident comes through the front door of the nursing home, it doesn't look like, smell like, feel like a nursing home. It feels like you're home."
At the facility, residents will have the option of their spouses living there, even if the spouse is healthy and doesn't require rehabilitation.
Harris said studies show that the units in the new facility are "just as affordable" as private rooms at other nearby nursing homes.
He added that the facility will eventually be able to provide indigent care once the facility has met its short-term financial obligations.
The facility will begin the hiring process for about 100 permanent employees in roughly one year and has established relationships with nursing training programs at USC Aiken and Aiken Technical College.

Scientist Discovers Big Clue in Wine Reactions
Reprinted from Allergic Living magazine, 2011
The baseball game hadn't even started when Kishari Sing began to feel that something was seriously wrong. She knew that, like her father, she reacted badly to alcohol; even a small taste of Irish Cream in high school had made her wheeze. Still, in the parking lot outside the San Diego stadium, her college friends tried to convince Sing that she could build up a tolerance to alcohol, and specifically to their drink of choice – a cheap boxed rosé. She drank one glass and remembers little after that.
"It completely whacked me out. I was sick the entire time," recounts Sing, now a marketing executive in Los Angeles with a well-known blog called The Food Allergy Queen.
"There's a picture of me at the game, and there's this row of fraternity guys cheering – but I'm all red and puffy and trying to sleep on someone's shoulder. I was completely incapacitated."
Fortunately, the reaction to the cheap vino didn't progress any further – but it was serious enough to keep Sing away from wine for good. "It made me so ill," she says. "So it really wasn't worth it."
Sing is not alone. In fact, roughly 8 percent of people worldwide suffer from allergic-type responses to wine, and even relatively small amounts of the age-old drink can lead to symptoms including redness, itching, swelling, runny nose, headaches and asthma flare-ups.
Some people have true allergic reactions to wine ingredients – in rare cases to the point of anaphylactic shock.
But a new study out of Denmark may be the first step in turning those avoiders into connoisseurs who can sip hardy cabernets and oaky chardonnays with impunity. Until now, sulfites – which are used as a preservative in many wines and also can occur naturally – have borne the brunt of the blame for the allergy-related reactions.
Yet only a fraction of people who are sensitive to wine are sensitive to the common preservative. Yeast, tannins and grapes in the vintages are also known to set off allergy symptoms, while histamines and salicylates are linked to intolerance.

Bully, Bullying, Bullied
Dr. Licata
co-founded and has been directing TeenCentral.Net since 1998. This website is
free, anonymous and very safe for all teens who log on to "work it out." Licata
has seen a concerning rise in bullying incidents and issues reported on TC.N
recently, as well as the distress and helplessness it causes victims. In this
article, Licata explores the dangers of bullying and the signs of bullying for
which parents should watch in their children.
Dr. Licata recently launched ParentCentral.Net to assist parents in dealing with the issues they face and receive advice from Master's or PhD level counselors. The site also provides access to podcasts and relevant information on parenting.
Social standing and
fitting in are very important to teenagers. All too often, maintaining that
comfortable role in a group can be ruined by bullies. Bullies are typically
bigger physically, but they may also be bigger in terms of personality or
viciousness. They typically intimidate through physical or sexual means, but
they also can be more subtle and use verbal abuse to inflict pain and
intimidation on their victims. They target the weaker, shyer, sensitive kids
and usually repeat their hurtful behaviors over time with one goal: to increase
their own stature at the cost of destroying the victim's self-esteem.
Clearly, bullying is far
more than simple teasing; it is an aggressive, destructive and very dangerous
behavior that also includes harassment and can ruin someone's life. The victims
of bullying and harassment often do not tell parents or report this behavior
because they fear retaliation, feel embarrassed about what is happening or just
feel so put down that they see no hope of this situation ending. They also fear
retaliation if they try to stand up for themselves and frequently attempt to
befriend the bully, just to make the punishment stop. This can often result in
feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, depression and even thoughts of
suicide ... >>Read More

Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Three weeks ago I explained our annual program "One Book" and this year's choice, "Divergent" by Veronica Roth. "Divergent" is a young adult book and belongs to the dystopian fiction genre. If you have teenagers you may have noticed that there is a huge shift in popularity regarding reading material, from vampires, werewolves and zombies to post-apocalyptic doom and gloom. The era of dystopian fiction has arrived.
The first time I heard about this genre, I thought it was one of those New Age kind of things, but there are novels written over a century ago that belong to this special category. To be honest, I had no idea what requirements a novel should have to be labeled dystopian, and for that reason I did a quick search. Here is a brief summation of my findings.
The dystopian society is controlled by a figurehead or a concept that uses propaganda and instigates fear to suppress any individual thoughts and actions. The suppressor(s) use corporate, bureaucratic, technological and philosophical/religious control to maintain power. The dystopian protagonist questions the existing social and political system – there is something terribly wrong with it. He or she feels trapped and is struggling to escape. The hero or heroine helps the audience recognize the negative aspects of the dystopian world through his or her perspective.
Some of the older works are "The Sleeper Awakes" by H. G. Wells (1910; originally published from 1898-1899 as the serialized "When the Sleeper Wakes"), "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley (1931), "1984" by George Orwell (1949) and "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury (1953).
Adults seem to find this new interest in dystopian fiction by young adults somewhat puzzling. They try to understand the workings of teens to come up with an explanation. I think that is very courageous because, in my experience, the workings of teens fluctuate as much as their hormones.
In general there is agreement that this increased interest in dystopian fiction is due to the success of Suzanne Collins's "Hunger Games" trilogy and James Dashner's "Maze Runner" trilogy. Comparisons are made between surviving a dystopian society and surviving high school. This phase in life, between childhood and adulthood, marked by raging hormones, physical changes, peer pressure, pressure to perform well in school, and bullying, is daunting for many kids. Identifying themselves with a seemingly ordinary hero or heroine who survives extraordinary circumstances gives young adults the feeling that they, likewise, are able to overcome any adversaries they encounter during their years in high school.
Maybe this is the reason that explains the dystopian trend. Maybe it is as simple as one teenager telling his friends that he read this incredible book and that they should read it, too. Or maybe it's just due to the very good advertising used to launch this dystopian hype.

Rosemont, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves concluded their 19th season with a 3-1 loss to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.
The Wolves finished with a 37-30-5-4 mark, which maintained their uninterrupted tradition of winning records since the franchise was founded in 1994. Chicago drew 312,732 fans to Allstate Arena, which was good second in the 30-team American Hockey League.
"You like to finish the year by winning the last one, but we fell short tonight," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "Looking back, this was such a wacky year with the lockout, injuries, and callups and we couldn't fight through it all to reach our goal."
Midwest Division champion Grand Rapids (42-26-4-4) broke to a 2-0 lead in the first period as left wing Jeff Hoggan scored both goals --- the second coming shorthanded on an odd-man rush. The Griffins improved the lead to 3-0 at 1:23 of the second on Landon Ferraro's power-play goal.
Wolves forward Anton Rodin cut into the margin at the 12:19 mark of the third period with his fourth goal of the year. Michael Davies and Mark Matheson set him up.
Grand Rapids goaltender Tom McCollum (18-11-2) posted 23 saves to pick up the win. Wolves goaltender Joe Cannata (6-6-0) stopped 34 of 37 shots.
Captain Darren Haydar led the Wolves in scoring for the year with 57 points (20 goals, 37 assists). Brett Sterling paced Chicago with 24 goals, the third time in his five seasons with the Wolves he has done so.
Matt Climie, who did not play Sunday after making 13 consecutive starts down the stretch, tied Wendell Young's single-season Wolves record with six shutouts. Five of those came on the road, which set a franchise mark.
Grand Rapids 2 1 0 -- 3
Chicago 0 0 1 -- 1
First Period---1, Grand Rapids, Hoggan 19 (Glendening, Mursak), 15:20; 2, Grand Rapids, Hoggan 20 (Ferraro), 19:02 sh. Penalties---Sproul, Grand Rapids (high-sticking), 9:35; Evans, Grand Rapids (slashing), 18:13.
Second Period---3, Grand Rapids, Ferraro 24 (Pulkkinen, Almquist), 1:23 pp.
Third Period---4, Chicago, Rodin 4 (Davies, Matheson), 12:19. Penalties---Glendening, Grand Rapids (high-sticking), 3:49; Haydar, Chicago (high-sticking), 14:39.
Penalties---Matheson, Chicago (slashing), 0:36; Glendening, Grand Rapids (high-sticking), 13:50; Blain, Chicago (tripping), 18:18.
Shots on goal---Grand Rapids 15-9-13—37; Chicago 12-5-7—24. Power plays---Grand Rapids 1-3; Chicago 0-4. Goalies—Grand Rapids, McCollum (23-24), Chicago, Cannata (34-37). A---9,155. Referees---T.J. Luxmore and Graham Skilliter. Linesmen---John Grandt and Alex Stagnone.

We put this rain barrel in the front of our home and boy did everyone want to know where we bought it! It makes the house look so lovely and adds charm. It is a tough plastic and has withstood one summer so far. It fills up fast and is easy to use to water. We built a stand about 1-2 ft off the ground so we get good flow but not enough to spray with force. I usually use a watering can but I think if I got an extension for the hose I could water.
My only dislike is that the item as pictured appears to have plants in the top portion of the barrel. While it is true that there is a hollow space at the top of the barrel (it's like a lid) it isn't very deep at all. I would say maybe 4-5 inches deep so I bought a coconut coir liner that was taller than the hollow in the barrel and that gave me another 5 inches for planting. It still looks great!

Best Uses
This urn is designed to have a downspout placed directly into the top but I used the Rain Reserve downspout diverter instead. The Rain Reserve diverter I purchased has two spots for diverter tubes (see pic). I purchased a dual downspout diverter kit on purpose so that I could eventually have 4 urns connected to one downspout. I wanted to see how the 1st urn and diverter worked before I invested in more. I now have my 1st urn connected to one of the rain diverter tubes and we have had a weekend of off and on rain. My diverter/urn system has worked like a pro. The rain was mostly diverted into the white tube attached to the urn (it rained hard so some of it was diverted down the downspout also) until the barrel was full to the top. Then because I had carefully followed the instructions on where the diverter should be placed on the downspout in relation to the urn and the overflow spout to which I attached the white diverter tube, once the barrel was full ALL of the rain was diverted down the downspout. We received 2 inches of rain and the barrel was full within 30 minutes or less. I have experienced no leaks from the bottom where the black hose is attached nor from the spigot (this was a problem in some of the reviews I read).
So my plan is to buy 3 more urns. One urn will be attached to the 1st urn with another white tube from 1st urn additional overflow spout to 2nd urn overflow spout #1. The 3rd and 4th urn will be set up just like urn #1 and #2 and will use the 2nd diverter spot on the Rain Reserve diverter kit.
I feel sure that if I had already purchased all 4 urns and had them set up, I would have 260 gallons of rainwater right now to use in my garden...with 2 inches of rain. Awesome.
PS. I figured out that I can fill a watering can really quickly by filling it with the spigot and the black hose at the same time.

Set over the course of one school year, in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits - smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love - and just how hard it pulled you under.
"E + P 4-ever!"
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.
"Thought provoking and Uplifting.... A++++++++!!!!!"
Why we think it's a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand's done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared.....
Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack is a letter addressed to Harold from a woman he hasn't seen or heard from in 20 years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye. Harold pens a quick reply and, leaving Maureen to her chores, heads to the corner mailbox. But then Harold has a chance encounter, one that convinces him that he absolutely must deliver his message to Queenie in person.
"Wonderful Walkabout"
The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.
"Best Mistake I Ever Made On Audible..."
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
"Dreamlike Experience to Savor"
Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936.
"Do you believe in miracles??"
In search of adventure, 29-year-old Conor Grennan traded his day job for a year-long trip around the globe, a journey that began with a three-month stint volunteering at the Little Princes Children's Home, an orphanage in war-torn Nepal. Conor was initially reluctant to volunteer, unsure whether he had the proper skill, or enough passion, to get involved in a developing country in the middle of a civil war. But he was soon overcome by the herd of rambunctious, resilient children.
"Amazing experience + Inspiring tale"
Why we think it's a great listen: The most celebrated performance in all of Audible's history, The Help has nearly 2,000 5-star reviews from your fellow listeners. We hear the print book's not bad, either. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another.
"What a great surprise!"
Why we think it's a great listen: A performance so poignant, we gave Bronson Pinchot (yes, Balki from Perfect Strangers) our inaugural Narrator of the Year award.... In the monsoon season of 1968-69 at a fire support base called Matterhorn, located in the remote mountains of Vietnam, a young and ambitious Marine lieutenant wants to command a company to further his civilian political ambitions. But two people stand in his way.
Why we think it's a great listen: Some books are meant to be read; others are meant to be heard – Water for Elephants falls into the second group, and is one of the best examples we have of how a powerful performance enhances a great story. Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus. It's the Depression Era and Jacob, finding himself parentless and penniless, joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.
"Great Narration!!"
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life - steady boyfriend, close family - who has never been farther afield than her tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life - big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel - and now he's pretty sure he cannot live the way he is. Will is acerbic, moody, bossy - but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected.
"A Journey Into the Unknown"
Why we think it's a great listen: Got 40 hours to kill? You'll find the time when you start listening to Lee's take on Follett's epic – and widely celebrated – novel of 12th-century England. The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul...and of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame....
Why we think it's a great listen: There's no gentle way to put this – Frank McCourt's performance of Angela's Ashes is just better than the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Frank McCourt shares his sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking story of growing up poor, Irish, and Catholic in the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela's Ashes.
"A classic book *and* a classic audiobook"
An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise. You believe you are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is, but journalist David McRaney is here to tell you that you're as deluded as the rest of us. But that's OK - delusions keep us sane. You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of self-delusion. It's like a psychology class, with all the boring parts taken out, and with no homework. Based on the popular blog of the same name, You Are Not So Smart collects more than 46 of the lies we tell ourselves everyday.
"It's official, I'm an idiot"
Georgie, aka Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, cousin of King George V of England, is penniless and trying to survive on her own as an ordinary person in London in 1932.

"Happy addition to a difficult genre"
Why we think it's a great listen: When it comes to author/narrator pairings, nobody tops James Lee Burke and Will Patton in the Robicheaux thrillers. Beloved Burke hero Detective Dave Robicheaux here returns to New Iberia to solve a series of grisly murders. Seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish have been brutally murdered. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais, a high-school honor student, doesn't fit.
"Best Yet... Almost"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's a story that most people know, told here in an unforgettable way – an audio masterpiece that rivals the best thrillers, thanks to Capote genre-defining words and Brick's subtle but powerful characterizations. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.
"Still the Best"
The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.
"Brilliant, insightful, intriguing."
Why we think it's a great listen: A masterpiece like none other, Brooks' powerful performance of Haley's words has been known to leave listeners in tears. It begins with a birth in an African village in 1750, and ends two centuries later at a funeral in Arkansas. And in that time span, an unforgettable cast of men, women, and children come to life, many of them based on the people from Alex Haley's own family tree.
"A Masterpiece"
Why we think it's a great listen: If you ever thought history was boring, David McCullough's performance of his fascinating book will change your mind. In this stirring audiobook, McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence, when the whole American cause was riding on their success.
"Great Book"
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.
"I Owe Stephen King An Apology"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender's Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.
"6 titles in the series so far"

Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?
"Gone Goes in a Different Direction"
Graham Greene's evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.

"HHTGH - Lightly Fried"
Master novelist Daniel Silva has thrilled readers with 17 thoughtful and gripping spy novels featuring a diverse cast of compelling characters and ingenious plots that have taken them around the globe and back - from the United States to Europe, Russia to the Middle East.
"Silva Keeps Allon Relevant & Current"
The shocking, never-before-told story of the bizarre world inside the legendary Playboy Mansion - and finally the secret truth about the man who holds the key - from one of the few people who truly knows: Hef's former number-one girlfriend and star of The Girls Next Door.
""Mean girls", magicians, mansions, and more!"
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.
From the internationally best-selling author of the acclaimed novel The Power of the Dog comes The Cartel, a gripping, ripped-from-the-headlines story of power, corruption, revenge, and justice spanning the past decade of the Mexican-American drug wars.
"Start Me Up; if you start me up I'll never stop"

He's found happiness with his girlfriend, Claire Parker, a beautiful, ambitious journalist always on the hunt for a scoop. But when Claire's newest story leads to a violent confrontation, Trevor's newly peaceful life is shattered as he tries to find out why.
"Boring, Babbling repititions."
At some point every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it's wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history.
"Pretty impressive"
Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men - John Chatterton and John Mattera - are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. While he was at large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the 17th century, Bannister's exploits would have been more notorious than Blackbeard's, more daring than Kidd's, but his story and his ship have been lost to time.
"Pure Gold"
For Sarah Hepola, alcohol was "the gasoline of all adventure." She spent her evenings at cocktail parties and dark bars where she proudly stayed till last call. Drinking felt like freedom, part of her birthright as a strong, enlightened 21st-century woman. But there was a price. She often blacked out, waking up with a blank space where four hours should be. Mornings became detective work on her own life. A memoir of unblinking honesty and poignant, laugh-out-loud humor, Blackout is the story of a woman stumbling into a new kind of adventure - the sober life she never wanted.
"Blackout: A Knockout"
Liberals love to hate Ted Cruz. The outspoken Texas Senator has a knack for getting under their skin. His quotable remarks - and even more, his principled stands on numerous national issues - have made him a political lightning rod and the most Googled man in Washington.

"Huge Evanovich Fan and Was Disappointed"

Then, a surprise attack throws the US into a chaos unseen since Pearl Harbor. As the enemy takes control, the survival of the nation will depend upon the most unlikely forces: the Navy's antiquated Ghost Fleet and a cadre of homegrown terrorists.

"Mark Greaney is much better than Grant Blackwood"

"Great Love Story!"
Some people's lives are entirely their own creations. James Rebanks' isn't. He's the first son of a shepherd who was the first son of a shepherd himself; his family have lived and worked in the Lake District of Northern England for generations, further back than recorded history. It's a part of the world known mainly for its romantic descriptions by Wordsworth and the much-loved illustrated children's books of Beatrix Potter. But James' world is quite different. His way of life is ordered by the seasons and the work they demand.
"An important and poetic life"
ISIS, the most maniacal terrorist organization the modern world has ever seen, is poised to make their most audacious strike yet. The United States has anticipated and averted countless attacks from terrorist groups - thanks in large part to the extralegal counterterrorist unit known as the Taskforce. But in The Insider Threat, a much more insidious evil is about to shatter the false sense of safety surrounding civilized nations.
"Good Pike book in the series, but..."
Michael Oren served as the Israeli ambassador to the United States from 2009 to 2013. An American by birth and a historian by training, Oren arrived at his diplomatic post just as Benjamin Netanyahu, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton assumed office. During Oren's tenure in office, Israel and America grappled with the Palestinian peace process, the Arab Spring, and existential threats to Israel posed by international terrorism and the Iranian nuclear program.

When she is called to assist in redecorating a modest townhouse in Bergen County, she knows the job is unusual.
"Enjoyable topical and great narration!"
