Armadillo - Boundaries.
We learn from the armadillo, which, by rolling into a ball, can be completely armored against attack, how to consciously define our own emotional and physical boundaries.
Bat - Rebirth.
Shaman initiates undergo a ritual death in which they face their fears and are reborn without their old identities. Bat medicine teaches us to release fear and any pattern which no longer fits in with our pattern of growth.
Bear - Introspection.
Bear medicine teaches us to go within, in order to digest our experiences and to discover that we contain within ourselves the answers to all of our questions.
Beaver - Builder.
Beavers work in cooperation to build their homes and domes, and this medicine teaches us that we can create and fulfill most powerfully when all involved appreciate the talents of each and work together in harmony.
Buffalo - Prayer and Abundance.
Buffalo teaches us that true prosperity comes when we are grateful for what we have and when we live in harmony and love with all other beings.
Bumblebee -Community, Celebration, Personal Power.
For the ancient Druids the bee symbolized the sun, the Goddess, celebration, and community. At festival times, people often drank mead, whose main ingredient is fermented honey, and in later Christian times monks lived in beehive-shaped huts, symbolizing the goal of a harmonious community, whether it included oneself and Spirit or other people as well.
Butterfly - Transformation.
Butterfly fearlessly leaves the safety of its cocoon to meet a new world in a new form, trusting its untried wings to allow it to fly. It is a powerful symbol for anyone who's contemplating or in the midst of a major change.
Canada Goose - Sacred Circle.
The migration of Canada Geese marks the passages of the Great Circle of the Year, and reminds us of the sacredness of the cycles of our own life. We can also learn from the cooperative and communal behavior of these birds, who never abandon a sick or wounded member of the flock, and who know when to lead and when to seek guidance and follow.
Cat - Wholeness.
The cat, a creature which combines a high degree of sensuality with a deeply psychic and spiritual nature, teaches us that the physical and spiritual worlds are not separate, but one.
Cheetah- Speed and Focus.
Unlike other felines, who stalk, then pounce on their prey for the kill, cheetahs, the fastest four-footed animals alive, run down their prey. Their lesson to us is that of accomplishing our goals with speed and focus. When we feel stuck, cheetah medicine can launch us into motion. If we are moving with great speed but little direction, cheetah energy helps us to keep our eyes on our goals and to find the most direct way of achieving them.
Chimpanzee - Living in Harmony.
Chimpanzees are close to humans on the evolutionary scale, and the medicine of this animal can help to restore to us the simple ways of life that create joy. Chimpanzee medicine can nurture in us playfulness, curiosity, and self expression. It also fosters our ability to be full members of the human and natural community.
Coyote - Trickster.
When we're being too serious about life Coyote may come along to teach us to laugh at ourselves. It is also the karmic enforcer, reminding us that whatever we do to others will be done to us.
Crow - Sacred Law.
Crow teaches us to know ourselves beyond the limitations of one-dimensional thinking and laws. This animal teaches to appreciate the many dimensions both of reality and ourselves, and to learn to trust our intuition and personal integrity.
Deer - Gentleness.
The power of Deer medicine is that of unconditional love. Only love, both for ourselves and for others, can dissolve the barriers which prevent us from realizing wholeness.
Dolphin - Breath of Life.
Dolphin teaches us that in attuning to the rhythms and patterns of nature we can learn true communication with the wisdom of All That Is and share this wisdom with others.
Dove - Peace.
The peace symbolized by Dove is that of the deepest kind. It quiets our worried and troubled thoughts, and allows us to find renewal in the silence of mind. In such moments of stillness we are able to appreciate simple blessings.
Dragon - Transformation.
Though Celtic tradition gives specific qualities for dragons of the elements of earth, fire, water, and air, in general terms, Dragon's power is that of shedding its skin and emerging as a new, transformed being.
Dragonfly - Illusion.
When we've tricked ourselves into believing that the limitations of physical existence prevent us from changing and growing Dragonfly medicine teaches us to pierce our self-created illusions.
Eagle - Spirit.
Eagle flies fearlessly, bridging heaven and earth, and teaches us to courageously face our fear of the unknown in order to fly as high as our heart's joy can take us.
Elephant - Commitment.
Elephants can teach us the power of gentleness, commitment, and communication in relationships. They are are deeply committed to all creatures with whom they have relationships, are powerful when protecting others and gentle in nurturing them. The matriarch of a herd practices leadership in a way that is both gentle and inclusive. Elephants' ability to communicate telepathically can teach us how to truly listen to others.
Elk - Stamina.
This medicine teaches us the best use of our energy, helping us to take on no more than we need to accomplish, and to endure on our chosen path until we've reached our goals.
Fox - Camouflage.
Fox's greatest gift is not being able to outrun the hounds, but to know in advance when they'll be on the hunt. When we learn to detach from our surroundings and to observe with all of our senses, we, too, will be able to anticipate and create the future.
Frog - Healing.
As water cleanses the arid earth and returns life to it so Frog's medicine can wash away any physical and mental energies which deprive us of harmony and peace, and helps to replenish our own ability to heal ourselves on all levels.
Gazelle -Awareness.
Gazelles, as the intended dinner of the big cats, are vulnerable, and maintain a high alertness to what goes on in their surroundings. Because cheetahs can run faster than them, gazelles have evolved the ability to nimbly dart from side to side, thus putting themselves out of the path of the cheetah's straight-line dash.They teach us that with awareness and skill, we can be comfortable in our own vulnerability.
Giraffe - Grounded Vision.
The giraffe, the tallest of animals, may be as tall as 18 feet, with a neck as long as 7 feet. Ungainly as this animal may seem, its weight is well distributed, and it's vulnerable only when it bends down to drink water. Giraffe teaches us to view our lives in a way that is both grounded and expansive and that in our desire to evolve spiritually, we must always remember we are physical creatures.
Hawk - Messenger.
Hawk teaches us to be observant and to pay attention to what we may overlook. This could mean a talent we don't use, a blessing for which we haven't expressed gratitude, or a message from Spirit.
Hippopotamus - Emotional Depths.
The hippopotamus, sacred in Egyptian and African traditions, is the second largest mammal on earth. Its name means "Water Horse," and it spends most of its day in water. This animal, very substantial in physical terms, can guide us in grounding ourselves so we can face and dissolve emotional issues (the power of water).
Horse- Power.
Personal power is our servant, to be neither abused, squandered, nor kept to ourselves. When we share our power with others and teach them how to nurture their own power, our journey becomes faster and more joyful. In Celtic tradition the horse-goddess governs the life cycle of birth, death, the afterlife, and rebirth; thus, to work with Horse medicine enables us to feel comfortable with all aspects of this cycle.
Hummingbird - Joy.
Hummingbird darts lightly through the world, spreading its message of joy and beauty, and teaching us to appreciate the wonder and magic of everyday existence.
Jaguar - Solitary Path.
Like the tiger, this solitary hunter stalks patiently and strikes with lightning speed. Thus, it symbolizes the importance of knowing when it's preferable to take the solitary path in stalking one's own dreams. For the native people of the rainforests, everything contains Jaguar.
Lion - Courage.
The Lion symbolizes the astrological sign of Leo, which rules the heart (coeur in French). Courage comes from the heart and from one's deep sense of personal authority, which creates the power to act in a way that accords with one's spirit. One who acts truly from the heart is capable of leadership, achievement, and the kind of success that encourages the accomplishments of others.
Lizard - Dreaming.
In our dreams we imagine different futures and choose which we will materialize. Lizard teaches us the importance of respecting and remembering our dreams.
Moose - Self-Esteem.Moose represents expressing the joy of accomplishment, not to boast or seek recognition, but in a spirit of sharing, born of the understanding that joy is contagious.
Mouse- Scrutiny.Mouse teaches us to pay attention to the little details which might get overlooked in our mad dash to see the big picture, and reminds us not to overlook the obvious.
Mountain Lion Leadership.
To be true to oneself, allowing neither fear of responsibility nor the jealousy and insecurities of others to divert one from one's path, is the mark of a genuine leader.
Otter- Woman Medicine.
Otter is receptive, playful, and free of jealousy. As both women and men begin to express the highest qualities of this medicine the world can become a joyful place where all can play without fear of harm or loss.
Owl- Wisdom.
Owl, the night hunter, has the ability to see what others may miss. The gift of this medicine is to be undeceived by external appearances and to discover the truth beneath them.
Peacock - Wholeness.
This bird, honored around the world for the beauty of its feathers, has also an association with resurrection. For us it can help in sheedding the old and drab feathers of the past and to claim our the true beauty of our individual natures. As such, it helps to enhance confidence and self-esteem.
Rabbit- Fear.
The more we focus on our fears the more we attract them to us. Rabbit medicine teaches us to attract to us abundance, love, health, and a warm, dry burrow.
Polar Bear -Integration.
To the Eskimo and Inuit peoples this animal is a source of both physical and spiritual sustenance. Spiritually, Polar Bear is considered the embodiment of the spirit of the North, an animal who holds ancient wisdom and has shamanic powers. One of the largest land carnivores, Polar Bear is, nonetheless, capable of great speed on both ice and earth and can swim one hundred miles without stopping.
Raccoon - Dexterity, Disguise.
Though Raccoon's mask is commonly associated with its so-called banditry (it has been know to open house doors with its clever hands in order to appropriate human food) the mask has a deeper meaning. It teaches us that none of us are quite what we seem, even to ourselves, that in our lives we can experience the freedom of many identities. This medicine helps us to assume and release the many roles we play.
Robin - Growth and Renewal.
Like many birds, robins are good parents, and one aspect of this power animal is the ability to nurture oneself into true adulthood. This concept also relates to Robin's traditional connection to spring. This is the season of renewal, and when we let go of the past (much of which comes from childhood experiences) we are renewed, and free to nurture and serve both ourselves and others.
Seal - The Inner Voice.
The seal reminds us of our connection to our deep inner rhythms, feelings, and knowing, as represented by the sea. When we fear drowning in these depths, Seal reminds us how to swim.
Salamander - Transformation.This animal helps to connect us to the mysteries of the earth and to feel grounded in the present moment.Some salamanders are terrestrial, others and aquatic; while in magical traditions, Salamander also relates to the element of fire,
Skunk - Self-respect.
When we fully accept who we are and learn to express the essence of ourselves, without ego, we attract those who share our path and repel those who don't. Skunk medicine is the original "Walk your talk."
Salmon - Wisdom.
Salmon journeys to its ultimate goal against all obstacles in its quest to be reunited with the Divine. The energy of this animal helps us develop the wisdom to find the meaning and purpose of our lives, and to move with perserverance on our spiritual path.
Snake- Transmutation.
As Snake sheds its skin so we can shed our illusions and limitations in order to fully use our vitality and desires to achieve wholeness.
Spider- Weaver.
As Spider weaves her web so we weave our realities. This medicine teaches to remember that we are the creators of our lives.that we are the creators of our lives.
Squirrel - Gathering.
Squirrel, in preparing for winter, gathers only what it needs. This medicine teaches us to discard not only unnecessary physical objects but those negative beliefs which limit our trust in love and abundance.
Swan- Grace.
Swan teaches us to trust the grace of our being as it operates in both the physical and spiritual planes, and urges us to rejoice in the gifts of our physical bodies and our intuitive minds.
Tiger -Being in the Now.
The tiger is one of the most powerful of the big cats. A solitary, silent hunter, it symbolizes removing all distractions from the mind and being purely focused on the present moment. Thus, Tiger is able to call on all of its abilities in order to achieve success.
Turtle- Mother Earth.
By following the example of Turtle we can learn to ground ourselves in the nurturing and protective energy of the earth and to flow with its energies at a pace which assures completion of our tasks.
Whale - Record Keeper.
Through the rhythm and patterns of sound Whale teaches us to hear our inner voices, to be in touch with our personal truths, and thus to know the wisdom and feel the heartbeat of the universe.
Wolf- Teacher.
Though the moon rises every night Wolf always finds something new to learn from it. We, too, in exploring the hidden paths of consciousness, may discover new truths to share with the rest of our clan, the human race.
Zebra - Individuality.
The zebra's distinctive stripes serves as a protective camouflage against predators, who are often unable to pick an individual out from the herd. For herd members, the stripe patterns, unique to each zebra, have the opposite effect of helping to identify individual zebras. This power animal thus helps us to both maintain our individuality in group settings and helps us to be supportive members of our communities. A third spiritual meaning for the stripes has to do with the integration of opposites, thus enabling us to see a deeper truth.

Give the Gift of Encouragement
This season is the perfect time to give a gift everybody wants—and everyone needs
by John C. Maxwell
For more than a decade, I led an organization that put on an elaborate Christmas program each December. It was a big production, with over 250 people participating in more than 20 performances. By the end of the season, everyone who participated was exhausted.
Like any good Christmas show, this one included dozens of children. One particular year as I stood in the wings while the children came off the stage, I saw that they looked tired and a little discouraged. That's when I decided to make it my mission to encourage those children and let them know what a wonderful job they were doing as they came off stage during every show.
"Good job!" I exclaimed as they marched by. "You were wonderful," I said to one child. "I love the way you smiled at the audience," I said to another. In the few seconds I had with them as they filed past me, I showered them with as many sincere compliments as I could.
At first, they seemed surprised and a little embarrassed as I praised them. Some looked at the ground or turned red. Only a few smiled. But after a couple of performances, I could see that they were becoming more confident. They began walking taller. More and more of them were smiling. And before long, I could see that every time as they exited the stage, they were looking for me in the wings, hoping and expecting to receive praise for the work they had done. By our final performances, they were jumping around, giving me high-fives, and cheering one another on.

TORONTO — There are dry cleaners that are confused about what to charge for their services, where that pricing structure places their operation within the industry, and how the consumer perceives them.
It is important to explain what goes into the pricing structure used when charging customers for their dry cleaned items. There are a number of ways to do this.
A cleaner could play a continuously looped video at the counter that illustrates how a garment is processed (including as many different processes as are used), place signage at the counter, or use various advertising mediums.
The cost of production starts at the cleaner's front counter. When a customer drops off clothes, they should consider what system is in place to create the invoice and receipt they receive and how the cleaner identifies their items so what they brought in will be returned to them.
Proper identification includes a complete description of each article, indicating the type of item, color, label identification, and any stains or tears that may be on the garment at the time it was marked in.
As well, it is important that the counter person ask the customer if there were any spills, such as liquor or soda pop, that may have dried and are not readily visible. These stains should be identified both on the invoice and, if possible, by applying a sticker to the stain on the garment.
If an article of clothing is stained and is not pre-spotted, the stain could caramelize in the drying process and make it difficult if not impossible to remove later.
How the counter person attaches identity tags to the garment is important. Do they use staples, which can rust and transfer to the garment, or do they apply plastic tags, similar to those used in retail stores (these usually cost more to use)?
The counter person must check the buttons to see if they are fragile, broken, or must be covered or removed before the cleaning process to prevent breakage or dissolving in the solvent.
The invoice that the information is printed on should be clearly legible and, if possible, printed by computer. Information entered into a computer program is readily and speedily available for future searches to locate items in case they go missing. Also, computer-generated invoices and tags will provide more information to ensure return of the garment on time. A computer program costs more to incorporate in the business, of course. There are many companies that provide this equipment and software.
The size of a dry cleaner's operation can dictate the kind of care that the average garment receives when it goes through the dry cleaning process.
Too many cleaners do not distill their solvent after each cleaning process, because the solvent and the detergents are expensive. Fresh detergent should be added after each distillation process.
Because of the cost of the solvents and detergents that are used in the process, dry cleaners may not segregate customers' garments according to type of garment, color and material (silk, wool, cotton, etc.). Clothes of different materials should be cleaned separately because they require different wash and drying times. Also, failure to distill solvent and add fresh detergent could result in redeposition, color loss, and loss of texture.
Another major cost factor is the amount of time a dry cleaner takes to inspect and spot garments for stains, check care labels, and properly segregate the garments to be cleaned. Should the garment be dry cleaned, wet cleaned or laundered? Garments should be inspected before and after the cleaning process. The knowledge and care that the cleaner has will dictate the wages that this person will earn.
If the dry cleaner provides a shirt laundering and pressing service, the type of equipment used can be expensive. Some dry cleaners launder the shirts, place them in a shirt press and then place them on hangers. Others with higher quality standards will first iron out creases in the collar and cuffs as well as under arms.
Many shirts are still made with fused collars, which causes shrinkage problems as well as dark stains at the collar points (due to poor fusing used in the manufacturing process). A smart dry cleaner will adjust the steam pressure on the heated press, which will reduce the temperature and this problem. But doing so is costly to the dry cleaner because longer drying times also reduce the volume of shirts that can be produced.
Next up for the garment is the pressing department. Hiring an experienced and knowledgeable presser can be costly, because he or she must know the materials and how much care each garment requires. The presser must prevent shrinkage and stretching of the garment, and has to be careful ironing around buttons and other fancy trims. Ironing out the garment linings is an added cost.
The inspection department is next, where each garment should be thoroughly examined. This includes checking for loose, missing or broken buttons; open seams; hems down; etc. A missing button should be replaced with a matching or similar button. If a hem is down, it should be tacked back. Open seams should be sewn up. Proper inspection is a costly process.
Next is bagging and packaging. The thickness, as well as the style, of the hanger is important to properly hold and display the garment. Garments should be hung in such a manner as to make sure they do not fall off, stretch out of shape, or incur indent marks. Tissue is usually necessary to hold the garment's shape and to prevent dust from falling through the opening at the top of the poly bag containing the clothes.
Many quality and environmentally concerned dry cleaners provide reusable garment bags (many at no charge to their customers) to cut down on the use of poly bags and tissue.
At this stage, the shipper is responsible for checking each tag on each garment to make sure it belongs with the accompanying invoice before it is attached to the bag.
Each of the steps described takes time and effort as well as additional cost. This is why there are differences in prices between dry cleaners. It is up to the consumer to decide what they require and what they are willing to pay for this service.
For example, if a customer owns an expensive suit, dress or shirt, are they going to take a chance on a low-price dry cleaner to exercise the care required to maintain the shape, color, texture and integrity of their garment, or are they going to seek that dry cleaner that provides all the necessary processes required to do so?
A dry cleaning plant owner must decide which of these procedures to provide customers. The cost of each procedure should be evaluated and built into the end price.
Dry cleaners must also evaluate the economic ability of their area's clientele, as well as the operations and pricing of other cleaners.
Are they surrounded by low-cost, medium-priced or high-end dry cleaners? Are they willing to process many items in order to achieve certain profit results, or will they clean fewer items at a higher price?
Are they able to offer a deluxe service at a higher price (requiring knowledgeable, talented operators and proper supervision to prevent mixing service types)?
When it comes to service pricing, how do you want your company to grow, and what segment of the market are you looking to captivate?

i am with you peta on not blanching.. i do carrots and peas the same way.. and just add to the bags as you go.. they dont seem to taste different form when i first harvested them.. swede is also good one to freeze.. dont blanch it..
the only one i cant seem to do is broccolli.. so have given up trying to freeze that one..
@zona.. they have been shorter in statue that the others but is at top of garden very windy and not stacked it at all.. i hve found it does not produce so many flowers as the didcot one has.. or the other single flowered ones.
yeah the seasons are all mixed up.. i have had cowslips flowering and primroses also.. and my ceanothus has been flowering as with my verburnum.. all wrong i hope we dont pay for it later..
i have to agree flowering rose.. i also collect the seeds and sow new for following year.. then any that have not beared well can be replaced..
i git back my buddlehia also.. and they re flowered further down the stem.. and as said the plant ends up a nice compact shape at the end of it.. my white one is on its lats flowers now i think.
@kitiekat.. that is so cute.. lovely picture..
we have lovely weather here with a chilly breeze.. we had rain other night.. 4 water cans worth.. garden still hard and dry.. my woodland garden has all wilted and dried up.. cant afford to keep hosing it as water meter goes round like the clappers.. really do need some rain down here..
hubby says thats why it is called "sunny Sandown".. which is great but some rain at night would be good.. didnt get a frost last night.. just as well didtn get tender plants in.
it looks like a succulent to me.. but that is all i say aaout it..
@joslow.. yes you are right in a test it showed that the driver couldnt see a child in their rear view mirror or rear window until they were stood 7 deep... very bad.. but i find those that drive them dont care about other kids but their own. no offence but i see them up at the school in mornings and they think they can park where ever they like and do what they like as they are "big monster kid killers" as my hubby calls them
as for concreting gardens.. we had to half ours few years back as private lane and not allowed to park on it.. so have to provide for 3 cars each house.
and if you want to concrete you front garden with anything but gravel you have to get planning permission...as my neighbour found out to his cost early this year.. a B & B and he wanted to concrete the whole garden for parking guests.. he did it and then made to dig it allup and apply for planning.. he was only allowed to concrete half and the other had to be done in drain free material.. so as not to flood the lane... which is good a sit floods already when wehave rain.. so his drive would have made it worse.. and doing it in all that rain proved thier point.. and the dug out foundations flooded like a swimming pool
still no rain.. promised it last night and not a drop.. gettin desperate now.. used te hose again today.. after told rain this afternoon... and all we had was sun and wind.

I could post this video every day. I've wondered if the humor could translate to a NonDuluth audience. Is an animated eyebrow raise by Mayor Don Ness as funny in Roseville? Maybe so.
Brian Barber's submission for the film festival portion of Homegrown Music Festival has flown the coop. According to a release, the animated video, set to the Black-Eyed Snakes song "Rise Up!" will be seen at the Walker Art Center, the Sound Unseen Film Festival in Minneapolis, on MNTV — Twin Cities Public Television, and at IFP's Cinema Lounge series in Minneapolis. Also: Zinema 2.
The video features attack seagulls, Mayor Don Ness, and local landmarks, including the Aerial Lift Bridge, which morphs transformer style.
The video was originally shown during Homegrown, then at the Free Range Film Festival. It was on the Channel Frederator Animation Podcast, and on WDSE Channel 8's "Smart Films."
Brian Barber is a Duluth-based artist, designer, illustrator, musicians, etc.
Here is the video's tour schedule:
Sound Unseen Film Festival, Sept. 28-Oct. 4, Oak Street Cinema, Minneapolis
Cinema Lounge, 3rd Wednesday of each month at Bryant Lake Bowl, in Minneapolis; Nov. 7 at Zinema
MNTV, Dec. 27 on TPT 2 and Jan. 2 on TPT 17
Walker Art Center lobby, starting March 1, 2010, on Best Buy video screens

Houston Early Music will launch its 2011-12 season with a performance by La Donna Musicale on Sunday, October 2. The concert, which showcases the music of rival German courts of the 18th century, begins at 5 p.m. at Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church, located at 2353 Rice Boulevard, Houston, TX 77005.

Boston-based La Donna Musicale is a nonprofit research, education and performance organization dedicated to highlighting music by women composers from the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods, as well as contemporary works. The ensemble uses period instruments and historically based productions to showcases the compositions.
For their Houston program, Passionate Enemies, La Donna Musicale presents music by women composers at courts of Frederic the Great and the House of Hapsburg. For these powerful foes on the battlefield, the competitive spirit extended to the salon, where passions ran high and nothing was spared in their lavish quest of the arts.
Soprano Shari Alise Wilson and countertenor Gerrod Pagenkopf perform with the ensemble that includes violins, viola, violone, harpsichord and viola da gamba.
Music by Frederic's sister, Wilhelmine, and Anna Bon goes up against Hapsburg-sponsored Camilla de Rossi and Maria Teresa Agnesi.
"For all of these rulers, music was a vehicle to express not only passions but also power," said Laury Gutiérrez, director of La Donna Musicale. "They spared no effort in presenting the best music and musicians, just as they spared no effort in fighting military battles. Their passion for triumph was the same."
Gutiérrez explained that La Donna Musicale focuses on pieces that have not yet been recorded.
"The 18th century is an exciting period: you have composers such as Handel and Camilla de Rossi that sound Baroque; you have composers such as CPE Bach and Anna Bon that sound Pre-classical and you also have composers such as Haydn and Maria Teresa Agnesi that sound Classical. Also, the genres of oratorio and opera demonstrate the abilities of the composers on a larger scale than we generally find in the 17th century," she said.
Gutiérrez will present a pre-concert talk at 4:15 p.m. focusing on the historical background of the music and composers.
Exploring history through music is a Houston Early Music hallmark. The group follows music from the Middle Ages through the 18th century, providing unique programming and world-class concerts performed with historical instruments and styles true to the period.
The theme for the 2011-2012 season is "Reimagining the Past." For the five programs are on the schedule this year, Nancy Ellis, artistic director, has scouted top talent from around the country.
"This season's concerts will appeal to early-music devotees as well as those who have not yet experienced the energy and spontaneity of early music," Ellis said.
Ellis added that hearing music written 500 years ago with modern ears is a journey of discovery. "It is a great opportunity to explore the rhythmic intricacies, fascinating harmony and passion of music that is an important part of our past," she said.

Nappanee issues citywide freeze warning
After the city started to see frozen water services at residential properties, it decided to issue the warning.
NAPPANEE – City officials in Nappanee have issued a freeze warning in response to reports of residential properties experiencing frozen water services.
According to a press release the city issued on Monday afternoon, Feb. 10, home and business owners should leave cold water running from a faucet inside of their buildings until the city withdraws the freeze warning. The stream from the faucet should be about the width of the led inside of a pencil, the release said.
Locals who leave their water running can contact Nappanee's water utility department for a bill adjustment that will take the extra water use into account. Those with questions about the freeze warning or how to respond to it can contact the city's water utility department at 574-773-4623.

Moline, Illinois is a small town (according to Wikipedia it has about 44,000 residents) where points of interests are the John Deere headquarters and the Southpark Mall. Not necessarily a place where a fictional famed music festival featuring various groups with gay leanings might want to congregate – especially if said festival has always been held in Las Vegas. However in Hello Fabulous! Moline does have large flamingo and a favorite son, Spencer Gayman who started the festival and whose uncle is the current mayor.
Hello Fabulous! was a good effort, but not of my liking. I thought it set up some interesting premises but didn't follow through in the storylines. For instance, one of the characters, Bob, resembles Gayman and in this day and age of electronic media is treated (and Tweeted) like a celebrity because everyone assumes he is the real McCoy. Gayman doesn't get his panties in a twist over the alleged sightings until he realizes that his doppelganger is ruining his reputation by shopping at K-mart and going to the local hardware store. At first Bob doesn't realize why he is garnering such platonic female interest along with free dinners and drinks until someone literally tells him. After some debate he decides to play along with faux celebrity status until he is outted.
What I did like about the story is that I thought it had an interesting premise about an annual Conchella like festival with gay themes transplanted to a community not known for hosting large music festivals or overly gay friendly atmospheres. However I did not think Tanamor provided the framework for such a story needs to succeed. You can't just throw out a large metal flamingo and hope it flies. You also can't have someone described as a world famous celebrity and a regular Joe Smoe unfamiliar with the resemblance – especially if he is from the same town.
I think Hello Fabulous! could be a better story in novel form, but it didn't work for me as a digital download short story.
Happy reading!

Fiat Automobiles has officially confirmed the arrival of the new Grande Punto Natural Power. The new version introduces double petrol-methane fuel and arrives in a moment when alternative fuels are experiencing a huge request.
The strong points of the Grande Punto methane are definitely the automony of 310 km, through two 84 litre gas tanks, CO2 emissions of the 1.4 litre engine are Euro 5 ready at 115 g/km.
The Grande Punto Natural Power is also cost effective, thanks to state incentives for cars that have less than 120 g/km of CO2 emissions. This means the car will cost about 12,300 euros (less 2,800 from the state grants), and although we can't expect grand performance with its 70hp and 104Nm of torque at 3000 rpm, you can at least drive around knowing you've made a relatively environmentally friendly choice. Maximum speed is 156 km/hr and acceleration to 100 km/hr is achieved in 16.9 seconds.

Seven Prophetic Promises
I trust that you have prayed and sought the Lord to reveal exactly what He wants to show you in the next few minutes.
Is your life abounding with blessings, or does it seem as if you and your loved ones are repeatedly harassed by chaos or crisis for no apparent reason? If so, I encourage you to keep reading, for I believe the following teaching contains important Scriptural principles and promises that can set you free and change your life forever!
During a recent This Is Your Day program, Dr. Todd Coontz had a powerful word for the body of Christ, and I want to share the seven key points from his message about what God wants to do for you in 2013.
"In spite of all that is going on with the world's economic system," Todd began, "your future doesn't depend on the world's circumstances and standards. It is time for you to rise up and claim your godly inheritance! The best days for believers are just ahead!"
Seven Prophetic Promises
With that in mind, let me briefly share these seven prophetic promises for 2013:
# 1: There will be an abundance of more.
We have to be willing to receive from God. God wants to give more if we will increase our capacity to receive. He wants to lift our faith level!
One point to remember: God doesn't always pour out a financial harvest first. Many times He showers us with ideas and breakthroughs that turn into a financial harvest. Our friend Oral Roberts called these "concepts, insights, and ideas." Your entire life can change literally overnight as God pours out His wisdom on you. Those who tap into this outpouring of increased opportunities will truly be revolutionized during the coming months, and I want you to be one of those people!
# 2: This will be a year of growth and expansion.
God wants to enlarge your territory. God's marching orders have never been, nor will they ever be, to stand still. He wants you to expand, to tear down strongholds. In fact, Todd said that this will be a year for me to preach as I've never preached before—to enlarge and expand.
The difference between your today and your tomorrow is your information. And that information comes to us from God through an act of faith. Every one of these seven prophetic promises for 2013 requires an act of faith. You see, the only way to please God is through acts of faith. God is not moved by your needs but by your faith. So when you act in faith, that action moves the hand of God. That applies to receiving wisdom, knowledge, and information from God, then acting on it to see great multiplication in your life!
# 3: God will be your unlimited Source of supply.
It's time to readjust and realign your faith-life! There is a major difference between the world's prosperity message and the Gospel's prosperity message. The message of the world is greed: Get all you can get! But the message of the Gospel is knowing the will of God and using His abundant overflow to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world.
There are 2,250 Scriptures dealing with money, and the Bible focuses much time on being a good steward over your money. How you handle your finances determines how you handle your life, because "where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:21).
The difference between a nonbeliever and a believer is greed versus giving. Refocus your faith and begin to trust and believe God.
See God as your unlimited Source of supply! Your faith will take you as far as you will believe. And it is up to you and me to take the limits off. Nothing is impossible with God.
# 4: God will silence your adversaries.
Many have been through terrible struggles during the past year or two. Perhaps you are still involved in major struggles right now—relationships, finances, roadblocks, job loss, illness. God is ready to turn things around for you as you follow Him in faith this year—just as He did for Moses, David, and others throughout the Bible.
I believe that this will be a year when God will silence your enemies. You will be vindicated from all that has been said against you. He will give you the plan, the strategy. He's going to fight for you and scatter your enemies. He will renew broken relationships. This is going to be the year when God is going to fight your battles for you!
There will always be battles, but God will help you defeat your enemies! I'm ready for that, aren't you?
# 5: This will be a year of unusual miracles.
Your breakthrough is coming! The Bible tells us, "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" (Acts 2:16-17).
We are seeing this happening all around the world. What better vision than the Great Commission: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). People are responding like never before as we share the life-changing and miracle-working Gospel everywhere we go. These are truly prophetic days! And God has so much more for us to do in 2013!
That is why I was so excited when Todd taught on this key point. He said, "As people plant their seed in 2013, it will be a year of triple-favor harvests!" What you sowed last year will come to a harvest this year. God is going to reschedule a new season for your seed. He's going to bring new life into that dormant seed you planted before!
# 6: This will be a year of great financial anointing.
There is a distinct anointing for finances. This anointing is when God anoints your ears, your mind, your decision-making, and your wisdom.
This will be a year when you will have supernatural guidance greater than ever, especially in the area of finances. What a wonderful promise He gives us: "I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel" (Isaiah 45:3).
The Lord wants to lead you to riches in secret places. He knows where the opportunities are. He knows where the ideas and concepts are. If you will learn to listen to Him, and then respond through your faith, He will show you what you should do, the roads you should take, and the doors you should walk through. He is ready to intensify His leading through 2013!
You will experience a constant anointing that will abide! In fact, it is clear that God wants believers to live debt-free. There will be uncommon millionaires birthed so we can bring in the end-time harvest of souls. The most expensive part is not preparing the soil or planting—it's harvesting. So we need the most support now to bring in the end-time harvest!
# 7: This will be a year of total recovery and restoration.
The year 2013 will be a year of total recovery and restoration, but it will be more. Like God gave Job double for his trouble (Job 42:10), this will be more than recovery and restoration.
Promotion is getting ready to happen throughout the body of Christ. And this will be the year when influential people enter your life. Get ready, for promotion is knocking on your door. You are going to be promoted. When others are missing opportunities, you will have greater opportunities because you are a child of God who is willing to act in faith. You are in covenant with the King of kings and the Lord of lords! God is going to authorize you to have divine recovery and restoration and increase!
And I especially want to reemphasize the importance of divine increase. God wants to promote His children. It will be astounding to see what happens next! And this is going to require a swift act of faith.
There is such a strong anointing right now for those who receive these prophetic promises and act upon them! And I believe this anointing belongs to you, as a child of God! It is your covenant right to have it every day.
Giving releases the treasures of heaven on your life and triggers your triple-favor anointing for prosperity. Greater levels of giving release an even more abundant outpouring.
The Triple-Favor Anointing
I am so stirred in my heart to encourage you, my precious partner, to step out in faith to plant a $300 missions and evangelism seed today. There is a powerful anointing in this $300 seed, especially in 2013. Three is the number of Trinity. Three is the number of the Resurrection. Three is a powerful number.
I want to come into covenant with you right now for a triple-favor anointing on your life. I'm asking you as my partner to plant a $300 missions and evangelism seed to help preach the Gospel around the world.
But if you cannot give a gift of $300, I challenge you to give a gift of $130 or even $30. And know this: God wants to bless you with a triple-favor anointing in your business, in your real estate transactions, and with a person who will favor you and bless you. But you must release this triple-favor anointing with your seed.
I'm believing with you that a triple-favor anointing will come upon you as you step out in faith today. What satan has stolen from you, he will not just give back, but "he shall restore sevenfold" (Proverbs 6:31). Just think of how your life will change once everything the enemy has taken from you is supernaturally restored!
I sense so strongly that 2013 is a year of the birthing of uncommon millionaires. I don't know how God's going to do it. He could do it through an idea, through an open door, or through an opportunity.
Sow your seed today. Obey the Lord. Step out in faith. Sow the seed for the Gospel.
I encourage you to give as God directs and to release that favor quickly. When you sow this seed, you sow it with expectation. You increase your capacity to receive. You don't have to apologize for saying, "God, I am believing You to do this for me!"
I release the financial anointing on your life, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet. I decree triple-favor anointing over your life.
But remember, everything begins with a seed! In the beginning God said that as long as the earth remains, there will be seedtime and harvest: "While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease" (Genesis 8:22).
Sow your seed today. Take a step of faith and move into the seven prophetic promises! Your life will never be the same.
For it is "not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6)…
Everlastingly at it,
Benny Hinn
P.S. This is one of the most important messages I've ever sent to you, for I believe that the Lord is getting ready to do a marvelous, powerful work in your life! Plant your $300, $130, or $30 triple-anointing seed now to move into an unprecedented season of promotion and favor!

We remember June 4th 1989
People tell me all the time I should not be so political, that I should not say things that may offend peoples sensibilities, that my outspoken nature has hurt my would be "music career", and to that I say: Bullshit.
Music is a force for positive change, and I will continue to speak out. In this case I will also note that web traffic from China and searches for "The Bitter Roots" on Baidu the Chinese google are consistently our largest foreign referral location to our home site Bitterrootsmusic.com, at volumes that are not trivial. We know we have Chinese fans, we stand with you, and we hope our music continues to inspire you to fight for your rights as human beings and citizens of the World.
Solidarity to you all!

In case you missed it, or did not know I have been publishing a fair bit of writing on Thought Catalog an online literary magazine out of Brooklyn.
So, when the teasing and laughter would eventually die down, the inevitable question would arise: "Jeff, what DO you want to be when you grow up?"
...I have also been growing Marijuana for the last 25 years.

Interview in No Depression Magazinehttp://www.nodepression.com/interview/seattle-rockers-bitter-roots
Q: How would you say the Bitter Roots have evolved creatively over the years?
A: The songwriting philosophy for the Bitter Roots has stayed pretty consistent. I have a pair of Guild jumbo body acoustic guitars that I have written all the songs on. The overriding principal has always been can I break this song down to just me singing and playing on this guitar and still have it come off as something interesting. I am always trying to balance my hard aggressive rock tendencies with the prettier bits. Chiaroscuro, the light and the dark.

Marian McPartland 1918 - 2013
Marian McPartland was quite simply one of the greatest musicians that ever was. She could play any song from memory in any key transposing and improvising on the fly. Incredible. I have listened to her show Piano Jazz on NPR my entire life. I adore her and I will miss her music and her unmistakable voice very much. RIP

Nice Review on Indie Rock CafeIndie Rock Cafe
The Bands That Rock playlist and profile series reviews rock bands, often DIY or under-the-radar, whose talents should not go unnoticed. Most of the bands in this series – as with many other of our playlist series – sent their music in for review. In fact, we receive close to, or more than, a hundred submissions a month. In the past, the Bands that Rock series has been popular with IRC readers, and this marks the fifth installment of this particular series, highlighting the bands Tsar, Dreamers, Eight Feet Deep, The Bitter Roots and The New Self Defense.

Grand Central Hotel and Grill
We had a nice celebration lunch at Grand Central today in Cottonwood Falls. I had only dined there once before, about six years ago, with some Diversity Champions teammates. I didn't really remember much from that previous experience other than I recognized the place when Darcy and I arrived there.
The food was actually pretty good. I had a salad before my meal, which I inhaled. I was either really hungry or it was really good. I think it's both. I thought the raspberry vinaigrette dressing was yummy.
I had grilled chicken and beans and rice for my meal. The chicken was nice and juicy but was lacking in flavor somewhat. The rice and beans were good. Despite my slight disappointment with the chicken, the meal was not bad overall.
Darcy had the reuben.
This is Susan's salad.
I'm not sure how everyone else felt about the place, but I actually liked it. I liked it enough that I'm considering taking Brian on a road trip that way. Now to just figure out what kind of sights we can see in Cottonwood Falls. LOL.
Anyone know what kind of attractions and points of interest we can see over in those parts? Suggestions of places to see and things to do would be most welcome. Please post your recommendations in the comments.

Kevin's humble radio beginnings were hosting a Blog Talk Radio show in early 2009. He described the first few months as laughable; he knew nothing about radio. But a man who had worked over 30 years in radio, Big Dave heard the show and said that he loved Kevin's work. He convinced Kevin that he was made for radio. Was he saying Kevin was unattractive?
Of course not.
Big Dave was right, because soon after a Program Director named Joe at WGUL heard Kevin's show and asked him to take a weekend slot, which he did. Joe said that he knew Kevin wouldn't be there long. Was he saying Kevin was no good?
Au contraire. In fact, like Big Dave, Joe thought Kevin was made for radio, and he predicted Kevin would be the next big thing. Kevin did the show for a few months and managed to syndicate the show on weekends to KFKA near Denver CO. Kevin was on the air there about two months when he got the call…he was going to the big leagues; he would get paid to do radio!
Kevin is currently syndicated on WGUL in Tampa, FL (a Top 20 market) and WLSS in Sarasota, FL and is part of the Salem Network.
We hope you listen to the show or the podcasts and get others to do so as well.
If you are interested in hosting Kevin's show on your station, contact email@example.com.

My love of deeply complex white wines has been growing for some time. I'm not sure exactly when I learned that there was more to white wine than Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, but ever since then, I have been seeking out white wines, and especially white blends, that lean towards the profound.
I'd be hard pressed to pick a clear favorite among the bevy of beauties that fit the aforementioned description, but certainly one of the top contenders would be the white wines of the the southern Rhone Valley, and in particular this wine from Chateau de Beaucastel,
Known for its rich history, dedication to quality, and for the longevity and personality of its wines, the Beaucastel estate lies outside of the town of Courthezon, and has been run by the Perrin Family since the early part of the 20th Century. Under the hands of the late Jacques Perrin and now his two sons, it rose to greatness in the latter half of the century. The Beaucastel name goes back much farther than that (to the early 16th century to be exact) and the estate has been a prominent wine producer since the 19th century, but in the last fifty years it has produced some of the most profound and interesting wines from the Chateauneuf-du-Pape region.
Like many great wine producers, the Perrins have a singular vision for their wines which is not exactly "the standard approach." For starters, Beaucastel is one of the few producers whose vineyards are still planted with all of the 14 allowable varietals that make up the legendary composition of red Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines. However traditional they may be in their devotion to the allowable vine varieties, the Perrins are decidedly iconoclastic in their own blend of these varietals, favoring a much higher concentration of Mourvedre in their wine than any other producer. While in most wines of the region Grenache is the highest percentage of the blend, in their standard wine the Perrins usually offer equal percentages of Grenache and Mourvedre (usually about 30% of each).
Chateau de Beaucastel farms all of its 272 acres (one of the largest estates in the Southern Rhone) organically and with an emphasis on cultivating the low yields of their old vines. Through a careful system of replanting, they miraculously manage to keep the average age of their vines around fifty years old, though some of their vines are between 60 and 90 years old. These older vines are used to produce some of the special cuvees made by the estate, including the one named after the late Jacques Perrin, which has become the flagship wine of the estate in the past couple of decades.
This wine highlights one of the estate's greatest treasures: about 17 acres of old-vine Roussanne. Some of the Roussanne vines are more than sixty years old, with the rest being between 10 and 40 years of age. Much of the really old stuff goes into a special "vielles vines" cuvee of Roussanne that is bottled separately, but a small portion goes into this white, along with the younger fruit, and about 15% Grenache Blanc. About 5% of the wine is various other white grape varieties that the Perrin family declines to name, but which likely include Bourboulenc, Clairette and Picpoul.
After careful hand harvesting and meticulous sorting, the grapes are pressed immediately into tank and barrel. Roughly 30% of the juice is fermented in old oak barrels, while the remainder ferments in steel tanks. After fermentation roughly 50% of the wine is then aged in oak for 8 months before bottling.
I adore white Chateauneuf-du-Pape for its wonderful balance of more savory flavors along with brighter citrus and tropical fruit notes. When good, such as in this wine, it rivals top white Burgundy for complexity and profundity, and even in its finest incarnations, comes at half the price of the former.
Tasting Notes:
Light gold in color, this wine has a phenomenal nose of green olives, dried orange rind, and acacia honey. In the mouth, the wine's satin texture and weighty presence on the tongue bring to mind the voluptuous curves and invisible brush strokes of nudes in Botticelli paintings. Flavors of orange zest, lemon curd, dried mango and dried pineapple swirl amidst a bright acidity and deep resonant minerality that leans towards the saline end of the spectrum. Both rich as well as light on its feet, this is a wine that begs to be swallowed, especially as it lingers for a long while after the fact. Outstanding.
Food Pairing:
This is one of the world's most versatile food wines, and will match well with many things. I would love to drink it while eating some spice rubbed grilled quail and figs.
Overall Score: around 9.5
How Much?: $90

In April 2013, Concept, a New Orleans-based rapper, released his first mixtape, "Mood Change." Concept announced today that he is working on a follow up to the tape, "Mood Change 2."
Get a behind-the-scenes look at "Mood Change."
Concept will be developing "Mood Change 2" under Already Entertainment, a music production and talent management company based in New Orleans. As part of the project, he will be accepting beats from producers who are interested in being involved in the project.
"In today's digital world, collaboration is key," said William James, CEO, Already Entertainment. "It gives us an opportunity to merge our talents with people that we otherwise may not be exposed to. For Concept, this is a great opportunity to elevate his music and bring his mix to the next level."
Producers that are interested in collaborating with Concept should contact Already Entertainment's CEO at email@example.com.
"Mood Change 2" will be released in late spring. "Mood Change" is available on Already Entertainment, SoundCloud and DatPiff.
"Mood Change was my pet project for years," said Concept. "Given the response that it received from the industry, I knew it was time to get back in the studio for a follow up for my fans. I am excited to kick off 2014 with the release of 'Mood Change 2.'"
Concept first began rapping in the early 2000s. Since then, he has been developing songs for his first studio album. He attributes some of the industry's greatest rap artists as his influences, including Joe Budden, Nas and Kendrick Lamar. His first album, "Mike Myers Project," is available for download for under $10 on a variety of sites, including iTunes and Google Play.
