Buck Creek
When the 270-acre Pumphrey Tract went up for auction to be developed into smaller lots, the Conservancy jumped in and acquired the parcel to conserve wildlife and a nearby cave system while fostering a sustainable, agriculture-based economy in the Buck Creek watershed. Formerly a dairy farm and later, row crops, the Pumphrey Tract required extensive restoration.
Almost immediately, the Conservancy secured a conservation easement on 150 acres of the tract through USDA's Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) to ensure that once restored, the property would remain protected forever. Landowners who enroll acres in the WRP become eligible for technical and financial assistance with managing wetlands, wildlife habitat, soil, water and other natural resources.
With safeguards in place, the Conservancy is transferring a portion of the Pumphrey Tract to Pulaski County as a nature preserve for public enjoyment thanks to assistance from Kentucky's Heritage Land Conservation Fund. While no longer the primary owner, the Conservancy remains involved in restoring the main stem of Buck Creek back to its original condition, transforming a one-mile stretch into approximately three miles with re-established meanders and a significant increase in the number of riffle sections. The increased aquatic habitat, surrounded by a buffer of newly restored native bottomland forest, will soon be healthy and intact enough to welcome rare species of fish and mussels back into the system.
Size: Part of an ecosystem that encompasses 188,472 acres in Pulaski, Lincoln and Rockcastle counties.
Location: Headwaters begin near Halls Gap in Lincoln County, with the majority of the watershed located in Pulaski County
What's At Stake: More than 30 species of freshwater mussels (nine of which are endangered or of state concern), 77 species of fish and one endangered bat species.
Some of the rarer species in the area include Cumberland combshell, oyster mussel, little-wing pearly mussel, Cumberland bean pearly mussel and Gray bat. Southern Maiden-hair Fern and northern white cedar can be found on some of the limestone bluffs and cliffs along Buck Creek. Yellow-wood, a small deciduous tree in the bean family is scattered infrequently along the lower section of Buck Creek, may be considered globally rare.
Threats: Incompatible forestry, river and stream channelization, mining, watershed impoundments, dam construction, road building, a rock quarry, incompatible livestock and crop production, invasive species, recreational vehicles and unimproved creek crossings
Milestones: Acquired the 270-acre Pumphrey Tract and placed a WRP easement on 150 acres in 2005. Sold 35 acres of the Pumphrey Tract to Pulaski County and exchanged 40 acres with a local landowner for an easement on 86 acres in 2008. Planted approximately 30,000 native trees and shrubs in 2010.
Action: Thanks to grants from several generous partners, the Conservancy is implementing the Buck Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project to employ best management practices that reduce runoff reaching the watershed from local farms. To keep things on track, staff regularly conducts sampling throughout the watershed to measure progress and identify priorities.

Just playing with gear grams and my hammock kit.We will call it my 35°F list.I could sleep down to about 25°F with this gear but I'd probably add some more clothes and swap the vest for my down jacket, gloves, merino long john's, down socks etc.It's nice to have some comfort when not in bed around camp.Happy to be in the UL tribe.... Well I think I am. Unless you can correct me on some points ??Even happier to do it with a hammock. Can shave more weight if ground camping but I love the hammock and I sleep so well in it.http://www.geargrams.com/list?id=7871
Your list looks good...It's pretty obvious that you were a UL ground-dweller before moving up in the world. It helps because then you only need to worry about your hammock system.About the only thing you could to do go lighter would be to replace your hammock. The total weight of my Grand Trunk Nano-7 (including a 6' and 8' strap and whoopie slings) is 307 grams (10.8 ounces) - half your WBBB with straps.I just ordered another hammock from a new company - Butt in a Sling Hammocks - and they'll give me a bigger hammock for not too much of a weight penalty. The Nano-7 isn't bad, but it's not a big hammock.Since you're using an underquilt you don't really need the double-layer (to hold a pad) and that adds a fair amount of weight. It might be something to keep in mind if you start looking at other hammocks.
+1 on BIAS hammock being a bit bigger than a Nano with little weight penalty.
Thanks guys. I've allways been a hammock guy since backpacking for a few years and sometimes dwindle into ground shelter if there are no tree's (ie: Alpine)This is my first list of gear though that get's me UL without dropping too many comforts. Thank's to cuben, M50 and 7d for that !!I actually have a good 1.5oz/yd ripstop DIY hammock that only weigh's in at 310grams. I do use this on occasion but not often. Those BIAS hammocks look nice. I did make a 1.1oz/yd ripstop hammock and found the stretch to much and the lay not all that flat (I'm 185lbs, 5'11")Problem is no bug net and my WBBB is so darn comfy I just take it everywhere. We have lots of bugs generally in OZ. (I would put a "LOL" but it's sometimes not very funny....)I know I could just add a light bug net but I lay so much flatter in the WBBB, I can even belly sleep to some extent (Which I cannot duplicate in other hammocks)I think that's due to the double layer and limited material stretch.I fear this hammock has turned into one of my "comfort" items, yes I could halve the weight but is it going to make much difference dropping from 9.5 lbs down to 9 ish lbs ??Thanks for the tips.
Edited by forest. on 05/08/2012 15:46:05 MDT.
I hadn't heard of BIAS before. Fortunately, I absolutely love the Nano-7 I got a few weeks ago. I'm 6'5" and 240lbs, nearly the worst case scenario for light hammocks, but the Nano-7 has given me some fantastic afternoon naps in the park down the street.To solve the bug issue for overnights I bought a HUG bug net for the Nano-7 from Arrowhead Outfitters. It's a sort of half bug net designed by Derek Hansen (http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=49849). It's 5 oz, could probably be done DIY for less than 4 oz but I'm lazy and the construction on Arrowhead's is top notch.I've also got to recommend Jacks 'R' Better tri-glides as a killer and underrated alternative to whoopie slings. For the same or less weight than many whoopie sling systems they're simpler and every bit as adjustable. I attach them directly to my hammock for a total weight just under 10oz. Should be just over a pound if I ever scrounge the dough for a cuben tarp. Still, with my Hennessy asym tarp I'm still under 1.5 lbs for a super comfy shelter.

Showing up at the venue in a limousine is pretty cool. Getting bottle service trumps limousine. Backstage, exclusive access is certifiable posh. But having plans to attend an event after an event is by far the best.
Everyone knows that the XPoNential Music Festival this weekend is the big draw in town, attracting marquee names like Bob Dylan, Wilco, and My Morning Jacket to Camden. But anyone truly in the know will be headed to the Theatre of Living Arts in Philly to catch the XPoNential after-shows tonight and tomorrow, featuring psychedelic circus freaks Gogol Bordello (tickets are $30) and arena rockers Trampled by Turtles (tickets are $20), respectively.
This is a golden opportunity to make a full day of indie acts, so make sure you head to tlaphilly.com for more information.

He tells the Detroit Free Press, through his publicist, that news reports ignore people who have lost their jobs without getting big payouts after dedicating themselves to the auto industry.
Eminem says he and Kimmel also want to show some of the autoworkers "a good time while we're at it."

|Kyle Love will try to get after Tim Tebow, but his main job will be to stop Willis McGahee. (Getty Images)
You know the MVP candidates, the passers with the glitzy numbers, the pass rushers, some who make guarantees, and even the big-play tight ends who have helped glamorize the position.
But while those players will go a long way in deciding the four NFL Divisional Playoff games this weekend, there are many other players who have to do their jobs -- and do them well -- for their teams to have a real chance.
You might not know many of their names outside their cities, but here are eight players, one from each team, that could be key to their teams advancing to the respective conference championships.
None would ever be labeled a star, but you can bet their coaches know what they mean to their teams.
Watching them on tape all year, I know I do.
Free safety Morgan Burnett -- In the first meeting between the teams, Eli Manning threw for 360 yards. The Packers have good corners, but the Giants receivers are good against man coverage. They also like to throw to the tight ends in the middle of the field. That's where Burnett will have to play big. He has to be good helping the corners, but he also will have to play well in man coverage when he's on the tight ends. At times this season, he has blown coverage because of bad communication. That can't happen against Manning.

|NFL coverage on the go
Defensive end Ray McDonald -- Every time you turn on the tape, this kid makes plays. He doesn't get the proper due in large part because Justin Smith, the other end, gets all the attention. Smith is damn good, but McDonald is right there with him. McDonald plays hard, and he's tough against the run and improved as a pass rusher. The 49ers move him over the nose some in passing situations, even standing him up at times over the center. He can do a lot of things. The 49ers made the right decision to re-sign him as a free agent last summer, rather than keeping nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin, who will be on the other sideline with the Saints.
Fullback Jed Collins -- The Saints need to be able to run the ball against the 49ers, which isn't easy to do. That means the inside people have to get push, but it also means Collins has to be able to take on talented inside linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. Those two are both going to the Pro Bowl and they are tough in one-on-one battles. The collisions between those two and Collins might be heard in the upper deck. Collins is a big reason why the Saints ran the ball the way they did last week against the Lions.
Middle linebacker Chase Blackburn -- He was considering a career in teaching when he didn't sign with any team this summer. But after 12 games, the Giants called back a player who had been on their roster when they won a Super Bowl in 2007. When injuries hit, he was back starting. He had nine tackles last week against the Falcons, and in the first meeting against Green Bay he intercepted an Aaron Rodgers pass. He has to play big this week in the middle of the Giants defense.
Nose tackle/defensive tackle Kyle Love -- You might be familiar with Vince Wilfork, the Patriots' best interior player. But when the Patriots go to a 3-4 defense, it is Love who plays on the nose. He is a wide body who has one of those bellies, like Wilfork, that hangs over the belt. But he has made some nice improvements this season. If the Broncos are going to be shut down running Willis McGahee inside, Love has to be stout.
Strong safety Bernard Pollard -- He was with the Texans the past two years, so this is a chance to get back at his old team. Houston loves to run the football, especially with a rookie quarterback, so you can expect the Ravens to drop Pollard down in a lot of eight-man fronts. That plays to his strong point. He isn't great in coverage, which is why the Texans didn't bring him back, but he is a good tackler. He will have to be if the Ravens are going to limit Arian Foster's long runs.
Nose tackle Shaun Cody -- He is the veteran of the defense, a 12-year player who still plays at a high level. At just over 300 pounds, he isn't big for his position, but he is a relentless player. He moves better than some nose tackles, which could cause some problems for Ravens center Matt Birk. There were games I watched this season where Cody handled the inside, which helped choke off the opposition's running game. He doesn't look imposing, but he plays to a high level.
Nickel corner Chris Harris -- He was not drafted out of Kansas, even though he was a quality starting safety. He didn't even get invited to the combine. The Broncos signed him and he has proved to be a big part of their improvement on defense. He can cover receivers, but he's also physical enough to cover tight ends. I would imagine he will spend a lot of time on Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski this week, like he did in the first meeting. Harris didn't play as well in that game as he has in others. But he has to come up big here if the Broncos are to slow down Tom Brady at all.

CodeZTM wrote:My post today for the "Let's Get Active" campaign in General AMV! Grading Scale under spoiler.Spoiler :0 = Nonexistant
1-4 = Below Average. Lacking in key components that would make it an average quality.
5 = Average
6-9 = Above Average. Slightly above average, but lacking qualities that would make it something perfect.
10 = Perfect
Concept/Originality: I don't have much to go off of the video information, so I'll take a stab and assume the concept was to make an action/drama video, regarding the song's about putting on war paint. I don't think the fact that this is a "war" or some sort of battle was brought up strong enough. The first minute or so of the video somewhat alludes to it, but then we've also got really odd scenes that don't make much sense (like the kids running around the hallway or picking up lunch or some girl getting a pat on the head in the past?). I felt like you could have put more of the reason why these kids are fighting to make a better buildup into the really action oriented bits. Although when you did get to the action part, it was fairly obvious by that point. Points for using an underused source, but the overall video was a fairly non-unique action video. all of that being said, I still "got" the video and understood what you were going for, so that's better than some completely random videos. 5/10
Editing/Sync: This was a good combination. The song/anime could have worked extremely well together, and you did have some really solid scene selection at times. 1:00-end had some really cool scenes/movements in sync with the music and it was fun to watch! I also thought you built up the AMV nicely and had a semblence of pacing (like how it was slower at the start and the action picks up after the song picks up).
However, there were some issues too.
Why was there a sudden black screen with text in the middle of the video? The rest of the video only had text one other time in the entirety of the video, so it felt like a tacked- on thing. It was really noticable since it was one of the first things I saw after the song really picked up! The text in general could have been removed for a better effect, or it should have been really polished up and made an integral part of the video.
Some of the lyric sync was just a bit too obvious. Like the scene at :22 with the fire after the "strike a match". It comes out of nowhere (especially during a slower part of the song) and goes back to the original slow moving scene. It just felt really out of place and put there to match a word without much thought into it.
the opening, while I liked how it was slow and had a nice buildup, had some really wonky scene selection. I mean, the first fifteen seconds was the same kid running. Could have introduced some other characters here and made the buildup much more effective.
Some of the scenery was also way too long of clips. The scene at :38 (the courtyard scene) felt far too long without much happening. 1:11 also felt a bit long, although it did have something interesting happening, so I won't say much there.
The song cut into a fade was a bit obvious, and I wish the video had been a bit longer.
Overall though, the editing had some good aspects about it, it just needed some fine picking and polish and it would have been great!
Visuals/Audio: Watermark in the top right was fairly distracting, and the quality felt sub-part, especially with this source (I've seen gorgeous work with this source). Blocky and interlaced. 5.25/10
Re-View: Not something I'll watch frequently, but I will add this to a youtube playlist. It had a lot of stuff in it that I thought was pretty cool. 6/10
Overall: Needed some polishing in editing and visual quality, but it had some neat things about it. Shows promise! 5.25/10

Souk Madinat: best of Jumeirah Beach, Dubai
Dubai EntertainmentTopic:
Dubai may be renowned for its superlative shopping options, but rarely does one have the chance to experience them all under one roof. You can certainly spend hours weaving your way through the chaotic, heatstroke-inducing outdoor souks, or you can barricade yourself in one of the many designer malls scattered about town; but in the Souk Madinat Jumeirah you have it all in one location. Moreover, the shopping, entertainment and dining options are so varied and of good quality, that finding a reason to tear yourself away will be near impossible.
Madinat Jumeirah is like a city within a city; this amazing conurbation of opulent 5* hotels, designer shopping mall and entertainment complex, all encircled by elaborate canals and waterways, makes a brilliant day trip destination for anyone holidaying in Dubai. Souk Madinat is just a section of this amazing complex, and the place where thousands converge on a weekly basis to take advantage of the calm and relaxing shopping experiences the souk can offer. To this end, why not book your holiday rental apartment in Jumeirah on your next Dubai vacation? Having the best of Dubai at your doorstep will certainly make your vacation a truly unforgettable one.
Half way between a Mediterranean resort village and exotic desert oasis, Souk Madinat offers tourists a welcoming, safe and clean, souk shopping experience. You can still barter to your heart's content, and although the prices may be slightly higher here than in other more conventional souks, the quality of the wears is exceptional, and that is why Souk Madinat is renowned as the best place in Dubai to purchase top quality souvenirs. Beside the head-spinning shopping options, Madinat Jumeirah is also home to various good restaurants, cafes and even a delightful beauty spa; spending an entire day exploring this amazing exotic world is an enjoyable and effortless affair.
Souk Madinat stands resplendent in its exotically themed design: narrow laneways, luxurious tiled domes, intricately carved doorways and latticed windows are reminiscent of a by-gone era, yet you are consistently aware of just how new and modern this complex really is. In the sometime sweltering Dubai heat, enjoying all this in blissfully air-conditioned comfort is a major plus indeed.
Specializing in traditional goods, Souk Madinat is the place to come to if talking home splendid fabrics, spices, rugs, jewellery and artwork is on your agenda. You can also spend your holiday funds on designer clothing; the souk is wonderfully serviced by known brand boutiques too.
For gastronomic indulgences, an especially good option when self-catering whilst in Dubai, head to the fantastic food stores of Souk Madinat and take home the tastes of the Arab world. Unforgettable sweet treats can be had at Vivel's, a mouth-watering haven of succulent dates, marzipan, cakes and quite possibly the best honey-dripping baklava you'll ever taste. For longer epicurean sojourns, head to one of the many restaurants to sample the best of Dubai's multi-faceted personality. Here you'll find restaurants specialising in great Italian fare, delectable Indian, Chinese, seafood havens and much more. For a unique lunch or dining experience, head to the canal-side joints to enjoy delicious meals with priceless views. For the best sundowners in town, head to the Centimetro, a rooftop bar renowned as one of the best places for watching the sun set over Dubai.

Author Signing: C.F. Martin & Co. Featured in New Book
Vintage images tell story of the world's oldest stringed instrument maker
Telling a story in pictures is C.F. Martin & Co., the newest addition to Arcadia Publishing's popular Images of America series. The book by author and Martin employee Dick Boak, with a Foreword by C.F. Martin IV, is set to release on August 18, 2014.

I've been experimenting with MP3 and converting my CDs to MP3-320 compressed files. Unfortunately, I've discovered that the MP3 encoding process destroys the Rear Channel Sound. In a few cases I can still hear music in the rear, but for most songs the rear speaker just produces garbage sound... rather disappointing compared to the rich sound produced from the original CD!
I suppose MP3 considers the rear channel information to be "inaudible" which it would be in a standard 2-speaker stereo arrangement, but the addition of the rear speaker makes these types of sounds *very* audible. It's basically an echo effect that is audible when listening to the CD and places the listener *inside* the music, but sadly lacking on the MP3 rip. The stripping of that rear channel echo dramatically diminishes the experience.
P.S. I'm using CDex for ripping and LAME for encoding with the following settings: q=0;Very High Quality, Stereo, 320kbps.

Judging by your tending to high bitrate values, i preume you are not looking for hardware support. Why not try with many of the other lossy codecs, AAC, MPC et al or if u want guaranteed retention of the surround information, go with a lossy format, FLAC, Monkey Audio @ ~800KBps
Just a though,

Rudd thinks farts are funnyComment on this story
Los Angeles - Paul Rudd thinks farts are "hilarious".
The This Is 40 star admits he finds flatulence funny and let out an improvised fart during a scene of the new comedy about a stagnant marriage in which he and Leslie Mann's character are in bed.
He said: "There's a scene where I fart in bed and that fart wasn't in the script. I just felt it coming and went with it. I'm someone who thinks farts are hilarious. I love it when people fart. It's always funny.
"I remember vividly shooting that scene with Leslie in bed and thinking, 'I could fart right now and it wouldn't just be funny, it would also add to the reality of the situation'. Because that kind of intimacy is what marriage is about. You wouldn't fart in front of someone you're dating but you'd certainly fart in front of your wife. It felt real to do it in that moment."
The 43-year-old actor - who has children Jack, 8, and Darby, 3, with his wife Julie - added that being able to fart on-cue would be his "life aim".
In an interview with ShortList magazine, he said: "That's an ultimate life aim. Anyone who can do that earns my respect." - Bang Showbiz

the acoustic version is just C and F all the way through.
here are the lyrics though.
intro: C/F
you're chattin to me like we connect, but I dont even know if we're still friends,
it's so confusing understand you is making me not want to do,
the things that i know i should do,
but i trip fast and then i fall.
and i hate looking like a fool
i just want your kiss boy (kiss boy, kiss boy)
i just want your kiss.
verse: (same as first verse)
the lights are on and someone's home,
but im not sure if they're alone,
there's someone else inside my head,
living there to fill me with dred,
this paronia is distressing,
but i spend most of my nights guessing,
are we not are we together?
will this make are lives much better?
im not in love,
i just wanna be touched
i just want your kiss boy (kiss boy, kiss boy)
i just want your kiss.
middle 8:
Woops I think I've got too close
'Cause now he's telling me I'm girl that he likes most
Now I messed up it's not the first time
I'm not saying you're not on my mind
I hope that you don't think I'm unkind
i just want your kiss boy (kiss boy, kiss boy)
i just want your kiss.

North American Summit Looks at Time Poverty and Vacation Law
The United States is the only nation other than the Guyanas, Nepal, and Myanmar without a paid-vacation law. Thirty percent of Americans don't get paid vacation; half of us get one week or less.
Last week Worldchanging ally John de Graaf and Take Back Your Time hosted the first national Vacation Matters Summit in Seattle to discuss the organization's efforts to get a federal paid-vacation law on the books. De Graaf and others helped draft the bill that Florida Congressman Alan Grayson introduced on May 21. The Paid Vacation Act, or H.R. 2564 is, in de Graaf's words, a "modest" bill: it would require companies with 100 or more employees to grant all employees one week of paid vacation per year. Three years after the bill's passage companies with 50 or more employees would have to offer one week, and companies with 100 or more employees, two weeks. The bill needs both grassroots support and congressional allies. (Check out de Graaf's excellent rebuttal (PDF) to the already vocal opposition.)
The conference, fittingly, was modest in size; however, it was wide-ranging in scope. Panelists and participants included adventure-travel tour operators, labor union lawyers, political consultants, physicians and psychologists, simplicity advocates, and university students already wary of entering a work world where burnout is all but guaranteed. Dr. Sarah Speck, medical director of the Center for Cardiovascular Wellness at Swedish Hospital, presented a physiology lesson on the negative effects of overwork that scared the living hell out of all of us, and effectively back up her contention that "vacation is health care." Fran Mainella, former director of the National Parks Service under the Bush Administration, talked about hiking to relieve the stress of working in post-9/11 Washington D.C., where even the parks director was instructed to keep a week's worth of supplies and a gas mask stowed in her car. (She also talked about the importance of reintroducing the concept of play to kids and parents. Several speakers touched on this; two organizations combating "nature deficit disorder" are the Outdoor Foundation and No Child Left Inside.)
Here's a handful of interesting ideas from the talks I attended, some new, some that bear repeating.
CEOs used to understand the connection between vacation time and productivity. Joe Robinson, work-life balance consultant and author of Work to Live, noted that in the 1920s company executives regularly commissioned fatigue studies; however, not many of those studies have been done since. "Almost a century later, American business has forgotten what it once knew — that a productive workforce is a rested one." In fact, productivity has gone up in companies that have increased their vacation policies, enough in some cases to eliminate overtime costs. Additionally, good vacation policy begets loyalty. According to Robinson, a 5 percent boost in employee retention boosts earnings by at least 25 percent. Robinson pointed out that American companies based in Europe haven't had to stop doing business there because vacation laws make it impossible for them to succeed. (Nor is it impossible to replicate European work standards here. My former employer, Random House, is owned by a German parent company and therefore grants five weeks of paid vacation. The reluctance to give up such a rare benefit is a major factor in employee retention.)
Robinson also reminded us that "neurons crave novelty" and when we stop providing them with new experiences they stop noticing things and making memories — the effect of looking back on a year and not being able to remember what you did during all that time. Robinson pointed out that as we transfer to a knowledge economy, vacation time becomes even more important. After all, the product in that context is fresh thought.
Jim Lewis of Western Michigan University, who with a colleague just started a study of staycations, demonstrated how much of a region could be included in a "one tank of gas" vacation. The staycation, which is here to stay at least as long as the economy's down, could theoretically bring new money into towns by keeping existing money local. "Your town now becomes an amenity, becomes a vacation spot…Community recreation programs now become part of tourism." However, not many towns are set up to be destinations unto themselves and would require significant boosts in cultural and recreational offerings to reap the economic rewards of the staycation trend. Sounds like a classic spend-money-to-make-money scenario, but community volunteering would go a ways to offsetting some of those costs. Gaylene Carpenter and Lori Hager of the University of Oregon presented Using the Arts to Promote Vacations (And Vice Versa), and their research noted that more vacation days would make community arts and cultural assets easier to create and maintain. Staycations plus increased vacation time equals more opportunities for a little voluntourism at home (look for more on this later in the week). Volunteer tasks oriented to staycationers could help improve a community's "amenities," whether those are arts organizations or parks.
We've reached a new low with time poverty when solitude becomes a curiosity worthy of its own syllabus. Panelist Mara Adelman, Associate Professor in the Department of Communications at Seattle University, designed a course on Restorative Solitude in which the very concept of solitude is studied and discussed, and students participate in experiments like swearing off all nonessential media usage for four days. (Adelman told us that although this experiment is difficult for students, it's the parents who object the most — a good thing to note, considering how much hand-wringing parents engage in regarding their children's apparent inability to disengage from constant connectivity.)
Dr. Speck stated that there's a "paucity of literature" in the medical world regarding the positive effects of vacations. There is, however, plenty of research showing the detriments of stress, and how down time allows a change of perception that limits automatic stress response. (One study Dr. Speck cited, Interheart: A Global Case-Control Study of Risk Factors for Acute Myocardial Infarction, found that as far as heart-attack risk factors go, psychosocial stress is as significant as having uncontrolled high blood pressure or being medically obese.) Although many preventative care physicians and mental health professionals routinely recommend time off to their patients, the severity of the health risk posed by job-related stress has yet to be taken seriously by the medical community as a whole, or by American society. One of the suggestions at the end of the conference was to create informational brochures and posters for doctors' offices about the effects of job-related stress. Maybe some day your cubicle will come with a warning label.
Cecile Andrews, author of Slow is Beautiful, and an adjunct professor at Antioch University in Seattle, spoke about the success of the Slow Food movement, particularly how it focused first on experience — a vision of the "joyful community," as Andrews puts it — and let that vision spread before linking the movement to the environment, or health, or any other issue. She suggests that the way to talk about the need for vacation is by first emphasizing the role of leisure in creating this joyful community. Certainly, this would be a different message, and a more complete vision, than the travel industry currently spins — basically binging on relaxation. (We should all get hazard pay for every time a writer or PR person suggests vacation is about "pampering" — apparently, we're all overgrown babies in need of a good swaddling.)
In a brainstorming session, a student from Indiana expressed frustration at outreach strategies that seemed to only preach to the choir. However, True Blue Innovation, a Seattle-based polling firm, found that 60 percent of Washington State voters — more than the required majority — would support a paid-vacation initiative if it appeared on a state ballot in 2010. Based on this, many of the participants agreed that focusing on the minority opposition, some of whom will never change their minds, is a waste of energy. (I think True Blue Innovation deserves a closer look: founder Bill Monto explained that by using an automated touch tone–only polling process, the company got rid of the overhead that makes polling data unaffordable to smaller causes and nonprofits. Ventures like True Blue could be game-changers. After all, before you focus on mobilizing the choir, it's a good idea to confirm the size of said choir.)
These ideas represent a small sample of what came out of the two-day conference. I hope other panelists and attendees will chime in with what they learned.
Although the vacation bill is U.S.-specific, the themes of Vacation Matters are universal. The conference had many Canadian participants because even with a paid-vacation law, Canada is experiencing similar issues with time poverty and the devaluation of vacation time. And the U.S. has successfully exported its work habits and values to places where down time seemed unassailable. Ten years ago The New York Times was already decrying the death of the siesta as Spain responded to the demands of a global economy.

You Americans really live in the middle ages. The funny thing is that many conservative Americans think we Europeans are Communists for granting workers so many rights. Ridiculous. So, I think your initiative is great - take your time back!
Maria is right.We Americans really do live in the dark ages, in so many ways. That could not be made more clear than the remarkable lack of objectivity and sophistication we see in the American people's response to the debate about healthcare reform and the remarkably successful health systems of other nations. Americans are, largely, uneducated and biased regarding the so called European lifestyle, many so by choice. The influence of religion in America's culture cannot be overestimated as a cause, the belief that hard work is the only pathway to righteousness, while play and relaxation, seen as forms of diversion from hard work, is of little or no worth. Actually, the American mentality regarding work and play is pathological, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Err, I would put it down on my calendar, but Oct. 24th is already the www.350.org Global Day of Action on climate change.
Yes, I know about 350 Day. I mention it in a related post: Travel Matters http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/010355.html
Ultimately we need national legislation that protects vacation benefits. But in the meantime, it may be strategically wise to win them on a state by state basis. If vacation benefits can be adopted in a few states, it will work as a model for other states and eventually on a national scale. Does your state have elections coming up in 2010? If so, ask the candidates for Governor and state legislature their position on vacation rights benefits.

1999-12-12 Bernard Hopkins w pts 12 Antwun Echols, Miccosukee Indian Gaming Centre, Miami, Florida, USA - IBF. Referee: Frank Santore. Scorecards: 118-110, 119-109, 118-110. Defending his title for the tenth time, Hopkins (158½) lost just two rounds on the cards but was badly wobbled by the tough Echols (160) on several occasions, especially when dropped in the opening round as the referee called 'break'. Although the rounds were going to Hopkins, Echols was meeting the champion punch for punch at times and both men took some heavy shots without blinking. By the sixth, Hopkins had begun to work the body, but back came Echols, swinging in blows from both hands, to win the eighth and although looking likely to go at some stage he was still there come the final round. Despite being tired, both men opened up in the 12th and at times both were on the verge of going down as the punches came in fast and furious and while the result was a formality, Hopkins stated afterwards that he had never been hit so hard in his life.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, initiated deficit spending for his New Deal programs that put unemployed men to work without improving, maybe worsening, the economy.
He implemented Social Security as a contributory pension with benefits payable at age 65 when life expectancy was not much higher, so benefits would be paid for only a short time.
As the fund grew, government borrowed from it with the Democrats' attitude of spend now and don't worry about repayment, Republicans will pay. Minimal benefits were expanded to single children under age 21 whose contributing parent ...

Hopefully we've got our seeds ordered– or at least a list of seeds to order or purchase – and our heads full of the potential of this year's garden. Which we all know is greatest this time of year. Oh the hope! *smile*
Now it's time to plan were we'd like to put those seeds and plants. It's terribly important to record where you've grown things in an organic garden, as crop rotation is one of the ways to keep diseases and infestations out of the garden. It's also really nice to know what you grew that you loved or hated (which also, now that I think of it, is frugal, too- no use spending on things you didn't like). Believe me, you do not want to grow something again that didn't work for you- it takes a lot of time and effort and the end result needs to be worth it! Also, I like to have a record of experiments, like companion planting, to remember what grew well for me and with what companion.
However… one thing I'm not is detailed. I could never be counted on to record what's happening in my garden month-by-month like those sweet garden journals encourage. And believe me, I've tried. So I've come up with a system that is relatively painless and sort of records itself using the Organic Vegetable Gardening Checklist I created plus a simple gardening binder. The planning pages look like this:
1. The overall design of my vegetable garden (which I shared here, too). It consists of:
- five 10-inch tall raised beds (roughly 4′ wide x 12 feet long)
- four larger beds edged with 4×4 lumber to grow corn, beans, and potatoes (about 9′ wide x 20 feet long)
- edge beds to grow permanent crops like asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries plus garlic since it is planted fall and harvested mid-summer.
- four dwarf fruit trees on the western side
2. For yearly planning, there are two pages that are updated each year showing the plant details which allow for rotation:
- one page for the traditional raised beds on a piece of graph paper
- another graph paper page for the larger beds (which isn't pictured)
Using graph paper makes it easy to fill in the details of what I need to plant and where. I always refer to past plans so I'm rotating my crops and making sure things like tomatoes don't get planted in the same bed twice in a row. It's a good idea to make this plan before starting the vegetable seeds to know how many of each variety to start. This doesn't matter so much for things like onions, but for tomatoes and peppers, it's better to know the exact amount needed.
To store and easily use the plans I place both pages in a page protector which protects the pages (duh…) from dirt and water when I take the plans to the garden at planting time. Since this is the only record I keep, I want to make sure I'm able to read it next year!
What are some of your garden planning and organizing ideas?
