The Poitou-Charentes region
This coastal region of Royan enjoys a mild climate and long sunny days from spring through to late autumn. The area is ideal for couples or families looking for unspoilt countryside not far from amenities. Historically it was on one of the main pilgrimage routes to Spain and is dotted with ancient villages, abbeys and exquisite Romanesque churches. In the slow passing of the seasons, there is still a great feeling of timelessness, suffused with the warm vibrant light of the South.
From this mini paradise you can enjoy regional specialties: oysters of Marennes Mouclade, Pineau ... and visit the area and its rich heritage - Meschers Caves Matata (dwelling). -
Talmont, one of the most beautiful villages of France is just a five minute drive away and, the Romanesque church of Ste Radegonde is very beautiful and peaceful, lots of arty crafty shops, restaurants and cafés. -
The Palmyre Zoo with over 1600 animals is the most visited private zoo in France. It is well worth a visit on a grey day, happy and healthy animals set in hectares of pine forests.-
The Lighthouse Cordouan built by Louis XIV, the oldest lighthouse still in operation in France, sometimes called the "Versailles of the Sea", the "Lighthouse of the kings" or the" King of the headlights "... -
The Gallo-Roman archaeological site of the mill Fa Barzan. -
The town of Saintes Labelled City of Art and History, Roman treasures and museums ...
The old port and town of La Rochelle. At Rochefort, since 1997, in the old Dockyard, a passionate team rebuilt the frigate Hermione, who in 1780 allowed La Fayette to cross the Atlantic to America. This large wooden ship, witnessed a period flagship French maritime history is reconstructed in the eyes of the public can discover the work of carpenters, blacksmiths, riggers, caulkers, sailboats ..
Meschers-sur Gironde is a typical Atlantic coast seaside village, which is lively and always has things going on during the summer period. There is a daily market where as well as fresh fish and produce you can find local craftspeople displaying their wares. There are 4 beautiful beaches, La Plage du Cadet, des Nonnes, des Vergnes and Suzac, all worth a visit.
The seaside resorts of Royan and St. Georges are five/ten minutes up the coast, "la Grande Côte" with kilometres of sandy beach, is north of Royan, the Atlantic rollers often present, to surf or body board.
The village of Meschers is 5 minutes by car and offers several sandy coves or longer stretches of pine-fringed beach, ideal for swimming and sunbathing, with restaurants close at hand. Here the limestone cliffs are riddled with caves, once used by pirates and refugees, some of which are still inhabited today. Up the other side of the coast, there are prize-winning beaches at the towns of St Georges de Didonne and Royan, as well as wide stretches of sand dune and pine forest on the"Côte Sauvage", which is popular with surfers and has areas set aside for naturists. Whether it's swimming, sunbathing, enjoying a meal in the open-air, collecting driftwood, or messing around in rock-pools, there's a beach for everyone somewhere along these shores! The thriving town of Royan offers a wide selection of shops and restaurants, in addition to an extensive daily market.
A little further up the coast you can explore the pretty oyster villages around Marennes, visit the atmospheric fortified town of Brouage out in the marshes, or drive across a long bridge to the lovely island of Oléron. During summer there are numerous boat trips to outlying islands and lighthouses (like 17th century Cordouan), as well as a regular ferry to the Médoc peninsular which is home to many outstanding châteaux in the Bordeaux region. Bordeaux city itself is just over an hour away by car and definitely worth a visit now that it's reached the end of its costly restoration and is once again poised to become the "Paris of the South"... get there before the rest of the world wakes up to its charms! Other popular day-trips include the lovely wine town of St Emilion, where you can tour several famous estates, or take a 40 minute drive to Cognac and visit distilleries like Remy Martin. As in most of France, food and drink are high on the agenda!
Closer is Arces, with its boulangerie and well-regarded Franco/Irish restaurant Le Cottage. Local produce is used as far as possible for the modern irish & french dishes which attract the locals and tourists alike, and the music evenings are great fun. The Whitsun flower festival at Arces draws in the crowds, and the fireworks for Bastille Day out-do most British towns ten times the size.

glass wall by RUCgostWatch
©2011-2016 RUCgost
Astounding, what beauty lies within this.
I am totally speechless. The stained glass window looks as bright as ever with the sun peeking through, only to be contrasted with the mess of the debris and rot. So mystical
This place might be decayed, but its beauty still echos, obviously. Great picture.
this looks nice
A little bit overlighted outside so the pic lost details. I would like to see the green of the plants Whatever....great shoot
the outside overligting is voluntary because I prefer fixing the attention on the inside of the room
whatever ... thank you
a priori tu comprend si je parle français aussi non ? ^^

a priori tu comprend si je parle français aussi non ? ^^
TOO beautiful...
I would love to walk into your photos!
This is one of the most beautiful examples of urban decay I have seen. Amazing shot.
what a gorgeous glass piece. I'm surprised it is still mostly intact.
Such a beautiful window, shame there isn't a picture of it in its full glory.
Thanks for sharing.

Clearing Clutter
From the medicine cabinet to the meditation cushion, Anne Cushman organizes her home and gains insight into her mind.
In 1968, a couple of months into first grade at St. Mary's Elementary School in Ayer, Massachusetts, I notice that my desk is looking kind of funky.
From where I sit, I can peer into the desk of the little girl in the next row: mainly empty, with a neat stack of construction paper, a pair of blunt scissors, a box of crayons, and a few pencils lined up in a groove.
Mine, on the other hand, is overflowing with crumpled, crisscrossed papers—spelling tests, math worksheets, stick-figure drawings, a turkey made from a toilet-paper roll, a laboriously copied excerpt from A. A. Milne, with every p backward: "Christopher Robin went hoppity, hoppity, hoppity, hoppity hop..." When I reach inside to scrabble around for a crayon, my hand lands in a puddle of Elmer's glue.
I'm not sure how this has happened, and I don't have a clue what to do about it, but I know it's not right. Whenever Sister Mary Monica—an immense, stern woman in a black veil and floor-length habit—moves to the back of the room, I hunch over my desk, sliding from side to side in my chair so she can't see inside. This strategy is futile: Sister stands over me, glowering, while I empty my desk contents into my schoolbag. I am too embarrassed to show my work at home; each of the pages contains a mistake, a misspelled word, a misshapen letter. So instead I cart my heap of clutter back and forth to school with me, papers erupting out the top of my bag.
Thirty-six years later, I am sitting on the floor in my home office, paying bills. My desk is so littered with papers—unpaid bills, unanswered letters, outdated check registers, notes written on napkins and ripped envelopes, a phone number scrawled in eyeliner on an empty paper-towel roll—that I never work there. Instead, I spread out paperwork on the carpet and write on my laptop on the sofa, surrounded by books, folders, and pillows.
And it's not just my desk—clutter is everywhere I look. In the front seat of my car: three empty juice boxes, a pen with no cap, two ink-stained sweaters, my son, Skye's, jacket and lunchbox, a toy drum, a yoga mat, the receipts from a photo lab, stubs from my last two paychecks. In my pantry: elbow macaroni spilling out of its package, unlabeled jars of unidentifiable herbs, six bottles of salsa, a box of ginseng tea that was presented to my father by a Korean general in Seoul in 1977. In my closet: shirts slipping off hangers, sweaters spilling out of drawers, a drawerful of socks with no mates, a tangle of nursing bras (in case I have another baby), a wetsuit (in case I ever boogie-board again), a red strapless party dress I wore twice, to great acclaim, a decade ago.
This is not how I want my life to be. I want my home to feel like an ashram or Zen center: tranquil, orderly, radiating mindfulness, with a place for everything and everything in its place, from the incense sticks to the hard-boiled eggs.
I know all the spiritual theories: Housecleaning can be a meditation in its own right, like the ritualized temple-cleaning that begins a day at a Zen monastery. As we bring order to our physical lives, we bring order to our inner being as well. "When the flower arranger arranges the flowers, he also arranges his mind and the mind of the person who looks at the flowers," goes one Zen saying.
But I'm as clueless about how to create that kind of order as I was in first grade. I know how to organize an essay, a book, a yoga class. I can sit and watch my breath for hours at a stretch. Through twenty years of diligent practice I've slowly begun to shift intractable patterns in my mind, my body, my relationships with other people. But my physical world still looks much as it did three decades ago: papers spilling out of my desk, and me hunching in front of it so the nuns won't see.
I share this trait with many of my writer friends: a scatterbrained inability to make sense of the physical world, which leads us to retreat into the realm of the imagination. I used to be able to live with this disability, even laugh it off as an eccentricity intimately linked to my creativity. But now, as a working single mom, I can't afford to spend twenty minutes looking for my car keys or a pair of matching socks.
So I begin ordering books on organization from Amazon.com. The first one, Organizing from the Inside Out, tells me that the basic model for organization is the kindergarten classroom: a home for every object, all organized according to activity, and everything labeled. The second one, Simply Organized!, warns me sternly that if I have two of anything—anything!—I should get rid of one of them immediately. Hmmm, I think, nonplussed. I set both books down, intending to choose between them. A few days later, it takes me twenty minutes to find them.
The problem is, my mind doesn't seem to work their way. "Group similar items together," blithely suggests Julie Morgenstern, the author of Organizing From the Inside Out. But it's not immediately apparent to me, staring into my desk drawer, how to sort three foam earplugs; a heap of paperclips; a nail clipper; a slide-viewing glass; business cards from an acupuncturist, a preschool, and a pet supply store; a broken pencil; an herbal throat lozenge; a pair of swim goggles; and two leaves from the Bodhi tree. Am I really going to spend all morning going around my house creating a proper home for each of these items, one at a time? I stare at the drawer, helplessly; throw away the pet-supply business card; look in vain for a pencil sharpener; stick an earplug in each ear; and turn to the computer to work on the article on yoga and Buddhism that is due next week.
Books in hand, I make valiant efforts to organize my closet, file my papers, clean out my fridge. But every attempt to create order uncovers new levels of disorder and demands systems I'm supposed to go out and buy with time and money that I don't have: filing cabinets, drawer dividers, laundry-marking pens, a trash bucket that hooks over the seat of my car. And the systems I do manage to construct disintegrate at the slightest provocation. Reaching into the refrigerator for orange juice on the way out the door to yoga class, I knock over a carton of blueberries, which springs open, scattering berries all over the floor; the kitten dashes after them, batting them even further; I drop my yoga mat to grab the kitten, step on the blueberries, and grind them into my socks. Do I race out the door in blueberry-stained socks to get to yoga class on time? Or do I forgo yoga and take off my socks, put them in the laundry, get down on my knees, and pick blueberries out from under the refrigerator, one at a time?

In our search to fill the void within us, we seem to find fulfillment in relationships that we find ourselves valued in the most. The feeling that someone loves you very much can embrace our hearts unlike any other feeling. Most fulfilling relationships are those in which instead of condemning, you forgive and guide each other, in which you trust that you will be there for each other, no matter what, that you will go to any extent to preserve the beauty of your relationship. You do this because you have invested a lot of time, effort and emotions and you feel worthy of being in the relationship. A relationship based upon kindness, trust, love, patience, respect, care and concern seems to lift up your spirits and fill the void.
But, even such satisfying relationships have limits. We start to depend on the other for our happiness and peace. I don't think there is anything wrong in wanting to experience as much love as possible, yet, sometimes, we unknowingly monopolize the other to the extent that they have to let go of a lot of things. Sometimes, they don't let go. At such times, we start feeling hurt, the emptiness creeps in again, and there comes the feeling of unmet needs. I wish there were no limits and that you always felt this joy of being fulfilled, more consistently. But, most times, when the other is absent, you feel less loved. Sure, the other person is the means that you feel valued and loved, but is that the only means? Love is always there, whether someone is there or not. Love brings peace, not shackles. Then why the misery? Why the bottling up of emotions? Why the heartaches? Even the most satisfying relationship does not seem to satisfy us consistently. Why?

The following is a personality profile of Stuart Woods based on his work.
Stuart Woods is social and confident.
He is assertive, he tends to speak up and take charge of situations, and he is comfortable leading groups. He is confident as well: he is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time. But, Stuart Woods is also outgoing: he makes friends easily and feel comfortable around other people.
He is motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of modernity.
He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. Considers helping others to guide a large part of what he does: he thinks it is important to take care of the people around him.

Hi all,
Just started having problems with my 2008 15" unibody MBP trackpad too; it doesn't 'click' when pressed, and the cursor starts acting odd - selections don't un-select, movement is jerky and hard to control, ect.
I found this which might explain what's going on - basically, the button under the trackpad gets worn out making it unable to complete a 'click'...
http://www.interrupt19.com/2010/02/04/dealing-with-10-common-macbook-pro-problem s
Hope this helps...

Here's a good link that describes how to work on the MBP trackpad yourself:
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/wordpress/2011/02/21/trackpad-replacement-on-the-u nibody-macbook-pro
The site should update their name to MacbookProMedic! Found it by 'accident' as it didn't come up searching for Macbook Pro..!

Well, turns out the cause for my 'bad' trackpad was the battery - it was swollen to the point of exerting so much pressure on the bottom of the trackpad it was unable to 'click' -
Don't know how much longer it would've lasted, but I'm glad that the trackpad's ok (works fine when battery is removed), and glad I discovered the bad battery!
Anyone with an older, often-used MBP should check their battery - the surface with the connecter plug should be flat; if it's not, it's going bad...
brainfromNE Jun 1, 2012 5:32 AM
in response to flbmxgirl
Jadnash...did you just run your MBP on the power adaptor and remove the battery? Are you going to purchase a new battery? I am having the same problem with the same model as yours. This just started happening around the same time as you.
jadnash Jun 1, 2012 6:15 AM
in response to brainfromNE
Hi Brian,
Yes, I'm just running on the power adapter. Trackpad works fine without the battery pushing against it. I'll get another battery as the old one is very swollen. Funny, though; it still charges and holds a charge - guess it's just showing it's age!
Stickykees Jun 9, 2012 3:08 PM
in response to flbmxgirl Helpful
I spent an entire evening researching, rebooting etc. to no avail. I started stressing about bringing it in to be repaired, having a possible swollen battery, yadda yadda yadda. Finally I saw on youtube that you could press firmly over the entire trackpad and my problem was fixed in 5 seconds. So Amazing that I had to share!

Wow! Thanks Jerry! As soon as I read your suggestion, I tried it myself. It worked! I started to laugh hysterically that it actually worked! Thanks man!

Thanks JoeJena. Makes absolute sense and works for me. I am MS in EE and solution Joe recommends works for me. It's a leakage that causes Cursor moments to go crazy. Read this article's first para http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449 to get inside info on, What makes Trackpad cursor to move?
Issue for me was, I was using 2 PIN power supply and leakage was not geting grounded. This should NOT be the case with such an expensive device and Apple must figure out a way to resolve this issue.
Anyways, Seems like, SubieGuy had different issue (Or may be Same) but fix was definitely differen for him. I am glad that, Apple Store helped him. Did they chanrge you anything? Or you had Apple Care plan?
Thank you.
joejena Jun 13, 2012 10:07 PM
in response to raj4groups
Glad it worked for you. This afaik is the simplest fix for this problem. Of course people have reported other issues, battery bloated etc., for those you have to go to an apple technician.
subieguy Jun 15, 2012 12:23 AM
in response to raj4groups
They never charged me. Being as how the upgrade I purchased crippled my computer, it was there responsabilty to fix it. But never once was money brought into our conversation regarding the software fix. I did almost buy a new trackpad but 30 seconds after a installed lion there was a feeling of relief seeing the problem gone. I tried to Press firmly, and I tried to remove the battery and run on the cord alone. I cleaned it with special cleaner, and I blew out all the little things that I couldn't see. Nothing worked. And like magic a simple os replacement and I'm up and running for almost a month with not one problem. 30 dollars for a os upgrade or 100 for a genius to replace the trackpad. I'm glad a stupid venture led to such an outstanding solution.

Just like to reply too this tread even though it was written months ago. I didnt realize that the fix was so obvious regarding the trackpad on my mac book pro 2010. The mouse cursor acted irrationally and went crazy on it´s own and started applications without warning. Connecting external mouse didnt solve it because the trackpad lived it´s own life.
So as Brettwa I cleaned my trackpad with a very fine and smooth lens cleaner as used for my sunglasses. And the result was amazing, and I have now control over my trackpad.
So my lesson learned is that the macbook pro trackpad and I guess all other apple trackpads is a delicat sensitive touchpad that has to be cleaned even though it seem clean. I had to polish it hard and got amazing result.
So as Brettwa said, give it a try :-)
bapa6 Aug 4, 2012 12:25 AM
in response to flbmxgirl
turn off the computer, turn it over and remove the battery. Restart using ac and your computer will be fine. Look at the battery: it is swollen in the middle, which pushes up against the back of your trackpad and makes it unresponsive.
As the battery cools it will shrink back down to normal size, but it isn't really usable anymore. If you want to go mobile, buy a new battery. $129, I think.

Same problem here. Not only does my brand new Macbook Pro Retina lock up the trackpad and play up, but my Macbook Air which I foolishly upgraded the OS on, is now having the same intermitent problems. The PCs become unresponsive and even rebooting sometimes fails to rectify it and it requires several reboots. I even had to re-install the Operating system, but the problem eventually returned. It appears that the Macbook is even less reliable than the worse Windows based machine I ever had or heard of... Not happy...
Pierre Froelicher1 Oct 9, 2012 5:54 AM
in response to shlomogeva
Since you have two machines with erratic behavour youmight consider that something, like for example the powerbrick you use gives you this behaviour. I write this, because I have one power brick, that gives me these symtoms. I think it gives some current onto the metallic frame of the computer, which confuses the trackpad.
Change your powerbrick and see if it gets any better.
shlomogeva Oct 9, 2012 5:29 PM
in response to Pierre Froelicher1
No, this problem had occured in multiple locations, with power supply connected and without. Do not have the problem with my iMac so I suspect it has to do with the trackpad on the MacBooks or with the OS.
I have another MacBook Pro (model late 2009, with older OS) and it had always been trouble free.

My husband and I are professionals in our 40s, from a small town in northern Michigan. We enjoy travelling, hiking and active adventures. We like to seek out experiences that are unique to the area we are visiting. We love to eat! Food is the first thing I research when we choose a destination. I'll try just about anything once.
We are new to the B&B experience, but look forward to the opportunity to get to know our hosts.

After taking two trains, I arrived in Ottawa today from Quebec City. Here in Ottawa I'm staying at the HI-Ottawa Jail Hostel which is housed in a building that operated as a jail for more than 100 years.
Once I had my stuff stored away, I headed back down to have a chat with the guys at reception about the city. I got some great tips from them covering bars, restaurants, neighbourhoods and more.
One of the places they recommended for dinner was The Works, a gourmet burger bar on the part of Bank Street that runs through the Glebe neighbourhood. This is a really cool area and it's home to a great variety of shops, restaurants, coffee shops and bars (I'll talk a little more about a couple of those bars in my next post).
At The Works you'll find a huge selection of toppings to choose from to go on your beef, chicken, veggie, mushroom or elk burger. They also do a selection of sides including onion ring towers and mouth-watering sweet potato fries.
As you can see here the portions of everything are quite generous, including the drinks. Yes, that is my drink in the right hand corner of the picture and yes it was served up in a pyrex jug, which I thought was a really cool idea.
After dinner, I wandered around taking some night shots and then went on to check out some of Ottawa's nightlife.

Salutations Everyone,
Thank you for your interest in camps at The Sideyard Farm this summer, and for your patience as we get our ducks in a row in the new space and with new leadership. We are happy to be announcing fresh partnerships and programs, and that the Kids' Garden will have more space than ever before on the newly expanded farm.
We would like to accommodate everyone we've worked with before, but we are aiming to start small this summer and develop as we go. We may not have the right camp for your family right now, but we'd love to hear your input on developing future after-school and home-school oriented programming at this site. Please keep in touch, and spread the word if you know anyone who would like to register or contribute to our scholarship fund.
Although we're not quite ready to accept online payments yet, please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to place your camper on the list for any of our four week-long day-camps, and whether you would like to request scholarship support. (projectbeetgeneration (at) gmail . com) We will update payment options as soon as possible.
2015 Sideyard Summer Camps: PLEASE NOTE, SOME DATES HAVE CHANGED (updated 4/1~no fool!)
Each 5-day camp will run Monday-Friday 9am-3pm at the new farm on NE Simpson and 48th. Campers are asked to bring a hearty lunch each day. Cost is a self-determined sliding-scale of $200-$300; any contributions above $250 will go toward scholarships for families unable to pay tuition.
June 22nd-June 26th: Herb Medicine Camp (Ages 7-10)
In this week, students will learn the basics of identifying and utilizing locally abundant and reliably useful herbs for everyday self-care. Over the course of the week, students will construct a basic first-aid kit for themselves and get to know their herbal allies through tea, theatrical play, scientific study, and writing.
Lead Instructors: Lara Pacheco with Mara Reynolds and Caienna Bierwirth
June 29th- July 3rd: Cycles of the Earth, Moon and Womb (ages 9+)
In this week we will explore the four seasons of the earth, four phases of the moon, and four weeks of the menstrual cycle. Through experiential play, inquiry, art, and gardening we will celebrate the connections between these interwoven cycles of the natural world. We will cultivate awareness of the way these cycles affect both the earth and our holistic selves as humans ~ mind, body, & spirit.
Instructors: Samantha Zipporah with Lara Pacheco and Mara Reynolds
July 6th-10th: Herb Medicine Camp II
Depending on interest, this will be a repeat and/or expansion of the earlier Herb Camp.
Instructors: Mara Reynolds with Lara Pacheco and Kate Coulton
July 13th-July 17th: Fiber Camp (Ages 10+)
In this week, students will explore the wild world of fibers, and how they have been dyed, spun and manipulated around the world to create everything from rugs and clothing to baskets and fishing nets. We will explore the chemistry of plant-based dyes and pigments, learn how to spin and use different types of yarn, and experiment with basic weaving techniques.
Instructors: Mara Reynolds with Caienna Beirwirth
After a too-long hiatus, Project Beet Generation is thrilled to announce we have accepted the torch that's been so lovingly kindled and passed by Living City, and we'll be hosting farm camps for youth at the newly-expanded Sideyard Farm this summer. This also means that The Seedlot, our pilot educational space, will be finding a new home in NE Portland's Cully Neighborhood, and we couldn't be happier.
Registration will officially open at the farm's grand opening on March 28th, and camp descriptions and instructor bios will be posted soon.
Camps will take place during the following weeks this summer:
June 15th -19th
July 6th -10th, 13th-17th
August 17th-21st
Themes, age groups and instructors for each week are still being pinned down, but here are some of the themes and topics we're interested in exploring:
–Plant allies for self-care and kid-friendly first aid
–Fermented foods and cooking from scratch
–Garden art and science: plant-based dyes and pigments
–Insects, bugs, and habitats
It is our vision that all of our offerings will be open, inviting, and accessible to anyone interested, and all will be offered at a sliding scale/open to barter and trade.
Check back soon for links to contribute to our scholarship fund or reserve a space for your camper, and let us know in the comments what you'd like to do at camp on the farm this summer! In the mean time, enjoy pictures of some of the fun things we're doing currently in various other educational gardens @projectbeetgeneration on Instagram.
And see that picture? That big blank space right up front and center is our future home at the farm! It's gonna be a big spring you guys–if you'd like to volunteer or donate starts or seeds to help make our educational garden a reality, we'll be doing most of our heaving lifting during spring break, March 23rd-27th. (And if heavy lifting isn't your thing but you've got other skills or resources to share, please be in touch!) Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
After a long, cold stretch, we've finally got a forecast with more blue than gray ahead. It's still pretty chilly if you're in anything other than direct sunlight, but just a few sunny days and it's as if Portland is born again. Thank heaven.
On Sunday we had our April community work party at the garden. Unfortunately, I was on the tail end of recovering from my first experience with food poisoning, and in my haze I forgot to bring my camera. So hopefully my words will suffice until I make it back out.
Sunday was The First Sunny Day, and it was nearly perfect for gardening. Four of my usual students came with their two respective moms, and one said family had invited their Girl Scout troupe, so we had five (?) new little girls and their moms in the garden to boot (I'll admit I wasn't in top form that afternoon and lost count). It got a little chaotic with so many new kids and me feeling so drained, plus I think we were all a little sun-crazy, but fortunately there were plenty of adults on hand to supervise. There's a biology professor at PCC who has brought her classes to the garden on field trips for the past year or so, and since they couldn't schedule a trip with me this spring she offered her students extra credit to come help out at our work parties, so we had two new surprise helpers as well.
I pointed out two of our most predominant weeds, red dead nettle and bittercress (both very easy to identify and hard not to find once you know them) and set everyone to work throughout the garden. Before long, I was nearly trapped in front of our compost bins by towering piles of weeds, trying to make room for it all and intersperse the fresh greens with the dried and composted material we already had. At the end of a few hours, we'd cleared a few beds and were ready to plant potatoes, lettuce, parsley and mustard greens. Our compost should be cooking (and thankfully, making more room) in no time. The kids busied themselves finding all the "edibles" in the garden (collards, chives, and pea shoots was all), and attempting to engage with the mud pit without actually getting muddy. At the end of the day the garden was picked clean and one little girl at least had a ring of green around her mouth that would rival the best milk mustache you've ever seen. She marched around the garden with a collard leaf in her hand and a smile on her face like most kids would with a lollipop of similar size. What a wonderful way of measuring the success of one's work!
In other grin-inducing news, I learned on Friday that I've been accepted to attend a three-day intensive immersion program this summer in Berkeley: The Edible Schoolyard Academy: Creating Garden and Kitchen Classrooms in Every Community. The Edible Schoolyard, started by famed chef and Chez Panisse owner Alice Waters (who helped start Woodlawn's educational garden back in the day!), is perhaps the most famed and successful garden-based education program around, and I'm really excited about the opportunity to not only learn first-hand how they operate, but to hopefully get myself on her radar as well. [I went and visited the Edible Schoolyard last winter, I'll post pictures shortly].
The cost of the Academy will be $650, which I'm not at all sure how I'm going to cover at this point (even if I do resume or find paid work immediately, I'll probably not have that much extra before the registration deadline next month). I'm going to apply for a scholarship through the Endowment for Unexceptional Humans (awesome!), but I'm also accepting donations, if anyone wants to help sponsor this exciting opportunity (for what it's worth, since I can't offer a tax deduction, my birthday's coming up!) I was just looking into setting up a "donate" button, but in my research it looks like PayPal takes a slice of the pie, and I'd prefer not to go through them–so if you'd like to contribute in any capacity (even with other scholarship leads), feel free to be in touch through this site. I don't know how it's going to happen, but it's going to happen, and I'm excited.
Well, all this talk of sunshine and now I'm sitting in shadows and getting cold. I'm going to go catch what's left while I can.
Spring is officially here: so what if we've scarcely broken 60 degrees yet, the days are long again and the landscape swells daily. It's not yet clear what the Children's Gardening Program at Woodlawn will be like this year, but at least for that I can comfort myself with the knowledge that I'm not out in the cold and gray, teaching uniformed children in the mud all day. I mean, I do miss my job, but not so much the waiting-out-the-hailstorm-in-the-shed -when-classes-cancel part. So even if I'm not working yet, at least I'm warm and dry.
Other developments… I am now officially certified as a School Garden Coordinator, the most excellent training I've encountered since entering this field:
And last month we had another humble but I say successful work party at the Woodlawn Children's Community Garden:
(These photos are of the same corner but from different vantage points~note the red car)
Again we focused primarily on the front area of the garden, what's most visible, and started working our way back. We pulled lots of weeds and planted some peas, radishes and a few different greens (interestingly, we're out of spinach and carrot seeds because they were both so popular last year!).
Things went well, although it admittedly underscored for me how much more work it is to maintain a garden in this manner! The sun may still be hiding most of the time, but those weeds are in full-tilt growth mode, and many have already gone to seed. The difference between organizing a work party from home as a volunteer versus as an employee/teacher with weekly on-site interactions with your target audience… well, it's notable. I'm pretty pleased with the work we were able to do on that drippy afternoon, all told, and thanks to everyone who came out to help! There are little sprouts popping up all over the place now.
And: the next work party is this next Sunday, the 17th, 1-4pm, so mark your calendars!
Thanks also to everyone who's voiced their support for the Children's Program at Woodlawn in recent months. Within a week of my last post, I was called in for a meeting downtown with my former boss from Community Gardens and with her direct supervisor from Parks. I learned that Commissioner Fish's office secured $6,500 from the PP&R scholarship fund to provide one-time finances for a shortened version of the Children's Gardening Program at Woodlawn, which they intend to run from June through October.
I am extremely grateful–not only for the funding the Commissioner and his team have secured, but for the efforts of all the neighborhood community members, families, businesses and participants on behalf of the Children's Gardening Program. We really did achieve something, and the Commissioner has held true to his word. You all deserve tremendous thanks and celebration.
I am somewhat concerned, admittedly, about the logistics of the plan to start in June. In my experience with this position over the past several years, my start date has varied from as early as late-January to as late as May and June. And I can speak from this experience as to the tremendous impact of an early start, particularly with respect to the important metrics, i.e. # of participants, lbs. of food, etc., and the ability to track them meaningfully. My suggestion at the meeting was to let my position start back up right away, so I can use my new skills from the training to work on developing a gardening committee, organize a fundraiser as we've done in the past, and fill the gap to provide as full of a program as possible given that it's already April, several months behind schedule.
Allow me to elaborate:
–School gets out in June, and families typically have set plans for summer activities by that time; by (re-)developing relationships with students and families through the spring, they are much more likely to set aside time to remain involved in the garden throughout the summer and subsequent fall.
–Partnerships with teachers have been strongest and most numerous in the spring; most of the teachers I've worked with in the fall were ones that began in the previous spring. The most significant number of participants we've had (up to 200 students per week) occurred during the past two spring sessions (when my position started in February), including in-school and after-school participants as well as guest volunteer groups and field trips planned early in the season.
–Planning/planting for fall and winter crops begins in June, and it's often too late to plant many summer crops at that point as well; the amount and cultural appropriateness of food we'd be able to produce and provide to families in need would be significantly reduced by starting in June.
–This is what the rest of the garden looks like right now (and this is after two work parties and a fair amount of volunteer help) :
…And we're barely into spring yet! It's really pretty remarkable how much constant attention a space like this requires, and how quickly nature takes back what is not claimed. I went by the garden this weekend because it was sunny for a little bit, and I must admit it's shocking to see the garden in this state. Part of me wants to just put in the work myself, but in all honesty all that work can't really be done effectively by one volunteer, however passionate or well-connected. To pick it back up in June though could be harder still. You need a person there regularly to keep a pulse on the land, keep participants engaged and invite others to participate. I've never seen the space so sloppy or unproductive, and it's a bit of a shock to see the hard maintenance work we achieved over the last few years so quickly undone. I know the neighborhood takes a lot of pride in the bounty and beauty they've come to see in that garden in recent years, and wonder what they think it means that it's fallow now.
My suggestion, which I think is logically and logistically sound, is to let the program (i.e. the program coordinator position) start soon, as in right away. That way we could resume partnerships with the students and teachers and families at Woodlawn and build up their enthusiasm with the spring… we could all together much more easily whip the garden back into shape, and have crops ready to harvest before school gets out. I'd also be able to recruit far more participants, engage more volunteers, and grow a significantly more food–and not just more food, but things like tomatoes, beans, peppers and okra that are culturally appropriate to members of that community. And my thought too was that if we could get that early start, we'd easily have time to organize another fundraiser, set a specific fundraising goal, and fill the gap on our own so we could still provide close to the full program. To start things six weeks earlier would require less than $2,000 in fundraising on the neighborhood's end–something we've done three times already.
I explained my concerns and suggestions at the meeting, nearly a month ago now, and in subsequent emails, and follow-up calls along the command chain–but have not heard anything back, yea or nay. When last I checked in with the Community Gardens office, both of the staff people I know have to interview for their jobs this next week, and I wonder the degree to which this transition may be a contributing factor.
So there we have it…good ol' Portland spring, true to form: blue skies out of one window, hailstorm out the other. The bees are back, the birds are singing, every day seems to uncover some long-forgotten color and scent. It's blissfully warm in the sun and shiver-frigid in the shade. But the days are longer every day. Slowly and surely, things are growing out there.
The time has come for action. Spring is fast upon us, and prospects for the Children's Gardening Program at the Woodlawn Community Garden are dim but brightening.
Last week I had a long but great meeting with the Chair of the Board of Directors of Friends of Portland Community Gardens–the organization which helped found the Children's Program and has historically been the chief fiscal agent for it.
It was great to sit down and talk honestly about where the 25-year-old non-profit organization stands, where they're headed, and how the Children's Gardening Program fits into their agenda. We agreed, I think, that although the present situation is somewhat dire (yes, they're 25 years old and still working on a phone number, current website, brochures; their members could be counted on your hands and they can't really address educational demands for now), it is also an opportunity to rebuild properly from the ground up.
And she encouraged me to approach Portland Parks Commissioner Nick Fish and ask him to follow through on the promise he made at the last Stone Soup fundraiser at Firehouse that my position would not go unfunded again this year. He secured $125,000 for building new community gardens this year (to fulfill the extraordinarily ambitious promise of 1,000 new plots by 2012), but hasn't made any mention of the Children's Gardening Program. I've been somewhat wary call him on it–it's really awkward to have to ask for your own salary. But I don't think anyone could argue I'm in it for the money. And if I don't ask and be specific, I suppose I can't expect much.
The way I see it, even with the cash infusion they're a long way off from filling 1,000 new garden plots by 2012 (that's less than 10 months away and there's no count on the website!). Especially considering there's still only one permanent full-time staff position at Community Gardens–and they're rehiring right now.
Last year, I worked with as many as 200 students per week in the Woodlawn Community Garden. Some of the oldest had been in the garden longer than I had–throughout their entire lives at Woodlawn School–while the youngest were just learning to walk and speak.
If we can't build 1,000 new plots, can't we at least maintain and develop our relationships with these hundreds of young community gardeners and in the process properly equip them with the lifelong skills, knowledge and resources that will enable them to start gardens at home and be leaders in their communities?
To my knowledge the program's budget has not yet exceeded $20,000–and there were two staff people then. Times are tight, to be sure, but this is program represents an extremely sound investment. It's an affordable, long-term asset–and more importantly, an achievable goal.
So my tactic on this front for now is to:
I am pretty confident that if we have enough seed money to tide us through this season while our supporting organizations refocus and get in gear, we can rebuild the program as a pilot, with the Friends and Community Gardens office (vs. alongside them), and design a model that builds community and food security though equitable access to garden-based education, is predominantly self-sufficient, and can be adopted by other communities and expanded to other sites.
(Why do I still feel like the little girl in The Secret Garden?)
So I've written a letter which will soon be going out to every participant whose contact info I have. In the mean time, I encourage you to read it, share it, and follow through with some contact.
All the tools and parts are on the table, it's time to start building something! If you'd like to join the team, be in touch.
February is such a tease. Every year, I somehow forget that the bulk of winter is AFTER the new year, and am a fool for the first sunny day. It's probably good I'm stuck indoors for the time being while the sky drips freezing gray; if it were sunny or warm outside, there would be little to keep me out of the dirt and in front of the computer. For now, it's a bit premature for growth spurts, impending though they may be. The crocuses seem to have withdrawn their earlier bold statements; the daffodils remain tight-lipped. But the branches on every tree turn more colorful and textured with each day, and I believe today is the last until Halloween that it's going to be dark before six.
Last I wrote I was about to attend the MercyCorps orientation for small business people… it was interesting, and a good resource, but they don't have much experience with developing social or hybrid business models, and don't fund non-profit efforts. Fortunately, enough has happened in other fronts to keep me distracted…
I met up with Stacey at the Sideyard 1, and here are some pics of what the space is looking like–she's put a lot of work into it since we visited last summer:
This former bathroom will serve as a storage space and mud-room. Look! A place to hose down kids! Or at least their boots. Stacey was so proud of the giant beet she painted on the floor–adorable!Then we have the kitchen space, also with a fresh coat of paint–so it's not quite set up either. And yes, that's the periodic table of vegetables on the wall.
Last indoors is the odd former bedroom, which if we clean up right could be a nice indoor teaching space for cold and rainy days, and potentially a great spot to display student work, photos and some of our goods. I can just picture the jars of tomatoes, the tinctures and salves and tea blends, science-fair-style displays, paintings, recipe books, t-shirts, packages of seeds…a chalkboard!?
Moving on…Here are the chickens, all grown up and soon to meet their new sisters.
This is the area Stacey is offering up to share… I'm a little concerned about the giant old apple tree, but I'm sure we'll make do.
This front hill-side patch was where we picked squash for our pizza last summer. I think it'll look great covered in nasturtium and cucumbers this year. And I love the painted window frame for a sign–Rebuilding Center, here I come!
This is the adjacent area where Stacey will be growing her main crops for restaurants around town. In the background you can see the hoop house and the sheltered prep station. To the left in this picture is the building with the kitchen and classroom areas, and soon there will be a large sheltered area with picnic tables.
I'm really excited about all the potential of this space–it'll be such a big difference to have a fully stocked kitchen (not to mention the bathroom) on site; to work with chickens; to have my own indoor teaching space; a sink outside! At the same time though I'm trying to be realistic and pace myself. I don't exactly have any savings, and the business plan is emerging primarily as a byproduct of the presented opportunity. I'm not that familiar with the land or the neighborhood yet, and don't want to make assumptions about turnout…and I'm still not finished at Woodlawn.
So my thought for this year is to try a once or twice-weekly Supper Club class. (In the summer I'm totally hosting the Breakfast Club. Yes.) Students would help plan and plant crops, raise them to harvest, and the latter half of every class would be in the kitchen, where we would work on either a whole meal or an entree using ingredients we grew. Students leave each entree session with a course ready to take home and eat with their families. On meal nights, maybe once per month, families would be invited at the end of class to share a feast featuring the student's work. (Wouldn't everyone love an edible piano recital?) The kids could compile a book of recipes and growing tips as they go. [Would people sign their kids up for this? What would a reasonable cost be?] There's a lot of critical details to sort out with pricing, liability, etc. but I think it's a reasonable point from which to grow, eventually offering similar classes focused on flowers, seeds, food preservation, medicinal plants, garden art, etc….

Brodner's Cartoon du Jour: The Making of a Liberal
Jimmy O'Keefe, political prankster, who took himself to be the conservative answer to Michael Moore, Borat, Jon Stewart, finds himself and his network of conservo-kids (funded by the Scaifes and Coors) ready for trial and then the slammer for illegally entering a senator's office.
Here he is on his first day in the pen, arriving in his Super Fly suit. From here I'd say it doesn't look good for Jimmy. Except perhaps if a Scaife or two can keep him company.

25 June 2009
A special issue of the International Journal of Vehicle Safety published this month could offer a solution to one of the most annoying sounds on our roads - brake squeal!
There are lots of mechanical myths about what causes a car's brakes to produce that biting howl. The all too familiar piercing squeal is heard at road junctions and traffic lights the world over as drivers hit the brakes. But, understanding what causes brake squeal might help researchers find a way to stop it.
Some drivers say it's due to worn brake pads, garage mechanics often blame bits of grit on the pads, others suggests that it's rusty discs. But, scientists and engineers know better: "squeal in a disk brake is initiated by an instability due to the friction forces leading to self-excited vibrations."
Utz von Wagner and Stefan Schlagner of the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, have developed a mathematical model that helps explain what physical conditions are needed for brake squeal to happen. Their model predicts how different braking setups affect the squeal frequency and perhaps the level of pedestrian annoyance caused by the brake noise. They have developed a rig to simulate braking and so allow engineers to test different approaches to preventing brake squeal.
Well, that's the scientific definition, but what can be done about this frictional instability?
Oliviero Giannini of the University of Rome 'La Sapienza', points out that despite a century of driving with brake squeal little progress has been made in combating this annoyance until now. He is developing the idea of a fuzzy damper that could one day suppress brake squeal altogether.
"Brake squeal is caused by vibrations induced by friction forces," explains Giannini. A damper that responds to the level of frictional forces and absorbs some of the energy, without interfering with braking, could prevent the kind of unstable vibrations in the brake disks that cause the high-pitched screeching.
Giannini has thus successfully modelled and tested the concept of a fuzzy damper for his braking test-rig and demonstrated that for this lab-based system, at least, brake squeal can be totally suppressed. Patent applications are underway and the next step is to test real braking systems with the fuzzy damper.

iHerb Customer Reviews
It feels really greasy and doesn't sink in at all. Doesn't do anything to my skin, and the smell is a little bit too much
I used to use Burt's Bee products because i really liked the combination of shea butter and beewax. However, their products contain preservative, Phenoxyethanol. Since i needed to apply all over my leggs and arms every day, i really felt the effect on me. I had symptoms of estrogen dominance and was very depressed until i stopped using Burt's Bee body butter. I am so glad I found this one on iherb. The skin on my arms were very dry from the winter in door heat, this cream gives me a shine without the grease. I am sure it's also going to be a good body cream for the summer to product me from the sun. The smell is sugary and sweet, It is very pleasant. It is stated 'Phalate (Phthalate) free fragrance', i just have to give it the trust.
