Finding a natural solution
If you think your electricity bill is too high, you're probably right - but it's not just because energy is expensive. The average monthly bill for electricity is over $110, and almost $40 of that is from energy that your home is wasting. This is a problem - but for a homeowner who's serious about sustainable living, it's not insurmountable.
There's no denying that the modern world is convenient. We can travel farther, communicate faster, and achieve more than at any other point in history. All of this is possible through our society's mastery of electricity.
It's electricity that powers the factories where cars are made. It's electricity that powers the internet, lets us pay with credit and debit cards, and literally lights up our lives. According to the Energy Information Administration, the last few decades have seen explosive growth in the amount of energy consumed across the country. The truth of the matter is that there aren't many new things that don't involve a lot of energy being spent at some point in the process, and we're quite literally paying the price for it.
Now, in a perfect world, we'd never waste the slightest bit of energy we produced. Unfortunately, reality is a little less than ideal, giving rise to the following considerations.
• First, perfect use of energy is an unobtainable goal. We literally do not have the capability to use 100% of our energy without any kind of waste. When we say that a product is "energy efficient", what we really mean is "it's one of the least-wasteful choices we have".
• Second, the only practical way to have zero waste is to use zero energy. In other words, to truly eliminate waste, we'd have to give up almost everything our society has created. It doesn't take an expert to realize this has exactly no chance of happening.
This doesn't mean all is lost, though. While we can't expect to be perfect, we can make a serious commitment to reducing energy waste when and where it's practical to do so. There are many ways to save energy in your home, and when every household takes a few small steps to reduce waste, the total result is incredible. For now, though, let's take a look at this infographic and see which parts of your home are using the most energy.
Valentine's Day is near and millions of cards and other waste from the day will pile up in our landfills; artificial colors and flavors will fill our bodies; and people will spend lots of money on items that will likely be tossed aside. There are healthier, less expensive ways to show your love that will show love to the Earth, as well. If your significant other is health-conscious, vegan or if they just hate candy, we have a few ideas for you. If you plan on having a relaxing day all to yourself, these are for you too!
These delicious, French-inspired cookies are made from simple ingredients and natural colors. A Paris-trained pastry chef has carefully crafted each flavor and the company is working on an all vegan line that should be making its debut any time now. To me, these were simple, light and crispy, and much better than versions with artificial coloring, which usually have a bitter aftertaste. For $32.00, you get a beautifully wrapped box of 12.
I have fallen in love with Nicobella, whose products aren't just crafted to taste great, they're made to nourish the body. Nicobella chocolate is vegan, fair trade, dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free, what more could you ask for?! They also use sustainable packaging, made from rice paper and wild grass. Their truffles are made with pure dark chocolate, coconut oil, agave nectar and a variation of healthy ingredients. Blueberry Almond is my favorite flavor, but a 6-piece assortment box can be purchased for $12.95.
If you or your Valentine don't like truffles, try Nicobella Munch, which is a combination of nuts and chocolate. Since I'm diabetic, this is perfect for me. It's a stable, unique treat that can also serve as a healthy, antioxidant-rich snack too.
My mind diverts directly to sweets when I think of Valentine's Day, but spreading the love by supporting artisans around the globe sounds like a great way to celebrate. Novica's mission is to help eliminate sweat shops, child labor and unfair treatment. Find unique items from all over the world, and when you buy from Novica, know that you're supporting an individual who makes quality products.
The Caramel Paths Shoulder Bag ($112.99) is made by Ricardo Hinojosa in Mexico, with high-quality leather (I apologize to vegans, but there are many vegan bags available from Novica). I've never purchased a bag that has felt this luxurious. Even the inner lining feels strong and smooth. The Choco Chic Shoulder Bag ($154.99) is made by Piedad Aguilar in Nicaragua with deep, spacious pockets and beautiful outer golden buckle detail. However, my favorite has to be The Road to Success Messenger's bag ($139.49), made in Bali by Hariyono. It's a compact, secure-fitting bag that I see myself taking on many trips. It has a lovely reminder quote, placed on the side, encouraging its owner to keep pushing for success.
Not only known for their bags, Novica carries eco-friendly jewelry made from items such as discarded water bottles. The Eco Friendly Hand Crafted West African Dangle Earrings ($19.99) are a beautiful example of how we can turn earth spoiling waste into sustainable beauty. If you buy a gift from Novica this Valentine's Day, your treasure is sure to have a story.
My husband is a kid at heart, he loves Trolli Gummy Worms, but I can't bring myself to buy them. I went on a search for something better and found Surf Sweets, a mostly organic candy line that is all natural. They offer adorable heart lollipops, Organic Fruity Hearts, Sour Berry Bears, Gummy Worms ($1.95-$4.95)…and they taste amazing. Surf also carries a vegan line, called TruJoy, whose Starburst-like fruit chews are awesome. Since Surf Sweets are made with juice, I don't get that sick feeling after eating them. So top your cupcakes, eat them during a romantic movie, or use them as an edible center piece.
EarthEasy is a family owned company with "Solutions for Sustainable Living". They offer a wide range of home, garden and gift items that would be great for Valentine's Day. I zeroed in on the travel line because I can't think of many things more romantic than surprising someone with a Valentine's getaway. The Earth Easy Diamond bag ($91.95) is a great way to let them know to get packing for an exciting retreat. The bag is very durable and comfortable to carry. The best part is, each bag is made from recycled, nontoxic materials for minimal environmental impact. Sustainable living is about respecting the limits of the earth and its capacity to provide. —EarthEasy
If you're lonely this year or want to expand your family, adopt a furry family member. Animals are overflowing in most pet shelters and humane societies, and many will never have a forever home. Adopting an animal from your local shelter is a great way to experience love at first sight on Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day is a day of love and an opportunity to spread love, not only to our significant other but to an animal, our bodies and Mother Earth. Whether you spend the holiday alone, with a family member or with your sweetheart, there's always a great way to celebrate. I wish you a day of love, happiness and pure living!

The Internet is probably the last place you think about having a large carbon footprint. But the numbers are staggering. It's estimated that the Internet produces about 300 million tons of carbon dioxide each year, reports The Guardian. That's the equivalent of how much CO2 the world's volcanoes produce annually. It's also more than half the amount of fossil fuels that are used in the U.K. The bottom line: The Internet contributes to more environmental waste than you think.
With that being said, it's hard to estimate the environmental impact of the Internet. Think about it. It's virtually impossible to measure the energy it takes to power all of the computers in the world. And what's even more difficult is knowing whether those users were online or offline when their computers were up and running.
A fantastic starting point for measuring e-waste are the numerous data centers around the world. Data centers contain rows and rows of servers that store website data. All of these servers use electricity. And the more servers, the more the cooling devices needed to prevent overheating.
There are tens of thousands of these centers all over the world, according to estimates from the New York Times. The newspaper found that those "data centers use 90 percent of the energy they pull off the grid." And each data center has numerous diesel-emitting backup generators in case the power goes off. In some parts of Silicon Valley, the air is so polluted that it appears on the state's Toxic Air Contaminant Inventory. A single data center can use 30 billion watts of electricity, which is almost equal to what 30 nuclear power plants emit.
These data centers are constantly running because we all want to be able to access the Internet at the same time, all the time, without interruptions. They continue to run at full capacity regardless of how many people are online at a given time. Data centers must constantly be prepared for unexpected surges in traffic. If they're unable to handle a sudden influx of users, the staff can be fired.
If you're concerned about your computer use being environmentally friendly, you don't have to give up the Internet altogether. Cloud computing has tremendous eco-benefits. In case you're not familiar, cloud computing involves storing files online as opposed to storing them on a server. The Carbon Disclosure Project found that a company using cloud storage can reduce energy consumption and decrease carbon emissions. The group estimates that companies who start using the cloud can save $12.3 billion and reduce carbon emissions equal to about 200 million barrels of oil.
Certain programs, such as some of Apple's, give you the option of storing your data on the cloud. If you're searching for a place to store information, companies like Mozy can help. The company offers individuals and businesses different products to meet their needs. You can also purchase cloud storage from a variety of providers.

In January, we move away from the bright lights and the over-indulgence of holiday festivities. We gather our thoughts and reflect on the past year. What did we accomplish? Where do we go from here? What do we want to do this year? Now is the time to organize thoughts, dreams, and wishes for the year ahead. Make your New Year Intentions clear and doable. Set yourself up for success by creating the space and time you'll need, and supply yourself with the right tools for each intention.
One of my intentions for 2016 is to find unique products that combine beauty, utility & sustainability and share them with my world family. My other three intentions are listed below along with the tools I've found to support my success.
When I lived in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, I had a gorgeous Ayurveda & Yoga studio 3 miles from the beach. It was clutter-free, organized and beautiful at my studio all the time. Because of that, I stuck to my daily yoga and meditation practice with ease. Then I moved west and began traveling so much that I fell out of the habit of daily in–home practice. Instead, I turned to the gym—cycling and the occasional yoga/Pilates class.
In October, when I solidified my decision to drop root in Southern Oregon, I created a practice space but was also using it as an office. Papers, bills and half written articles piled up quickly, distracting me from my yoga-mediation practice and made me think of work. This year, my main lifestyle intention is create a sacred space (not just practice space) in which I will want to practice yoga and meditation daily.
To do so, I've taken everything out of my office/yoga room except my mats, alter, cushions, and clock. I also supplied myself with a gorgeous Sacred Geometry natural cork yoga mat ($149) and natural cork yoga wheel ($119) from Yoloha. I love the way my hands and feet feel on this creamy handmade eco-friendly mat and how the wheel cradles my back when I rest in heart-opening back bends. I feel good about having them in my sacred space as they are truly made with and emanate love. The cork used to make Yoloha mats and props is natural, renewable, recyclable and obtained sustainably through hand-stripping the cork tree bark only once every nine years. None of the cork is wasted in the process, and the trees live up to 300 years. These beautiful new tools are my 2016 yoga practice essentials and make me want to practice longer and stay present. Thanks Yoloha!
For most of my life I have enjoyed journaling. I like looking back over the years and remembering what I was thinking and writing about in detail in 2002, 2010 and so on. It's a good gauge of growth and my very own historical document. This year in addition to journaling, my second lifestyle intention is to write three pages every morning immediately upon waking, as Julia Cameron (author of The Artist's Way) recommends for blocked artists.
The tool I found to support this intention is a handmade vegan journal by Tremundo, a small, artist-owned company in South Carolina. These unique mixed media, original art, handcrafted journals are true inspiration for morning pages and for general creating. The Base of Change Journal ($30) is shown here.
My communication goals vary daily, however the theme remains the same: be clear, loving and respectful.
The Clear Communications Mala by Erica Fullen Designs ($168) is exactly the tool I need to remind me to stick to this one, my third lifestyle intention, all year long. Artist, healer and mother, Erica Fullen uses color and the power of setting intentions to create her full line of chakra inspired jewelry to "enhance and balance within." When I put this mala on, I state my communication goals for the day. One day it might be to call a family member and give them my full attention; the next day it might be to draft an article and send a pitch to an editor. The physical act of placing the mala around my neck and over my heart reminds me of these goals until they are complete. The Power of Today is enhanced with this beautiful tool. Thank you Erica Fullen! I can feel the love.
Have you taken time to set your New Year Intentions? Care to share? Leave a comment or email me, I'd love to hear yours. Love to my world family and Happy New Year. Make it your best ever, I'm cheering you on!

If you're a vegetarian, you may think your healthy, meat-free lifestyle means you're creating a healthy environment. But a new study from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) suggests that this notion may be a myth.
The study on energy use, greenhouse emission and food consumption, published in the November issue of "Environmental Systems and Decisions," produced evidence that following the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) dietary recommendations — which encourage Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables, with less red meat — actually harms rather than helps the environment.

That's because foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy products and seafood require high resource use and greenhouse gas (GHG) per calorie — even more so than meat. This finding directly contrasts with the ideas promoted by many "green" organizations like Down to Earth Organic and Natural, which urges Americans to consider adopting a vegetarian diet to save the earth.
Even Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former bodybuilder, action movie star and California governor, said in a recent United Nations conference that Americans can protect the environment from greenhouse gases by reducing their consumption of red meat.
But the CMU study — titled "Energy Use, Blue Water Footprint and Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Current Food Consumption Patterns and Dietary Recommendations in the U.S." — claims that the resources involved with growing, processing and transporting "greener" foods increase energy use, water use and GHG emissions — taking a significant toll on our planet.Therefore, says CMU Social/Decision Sciences professor Paul Fischbeck, "Eating lettuce is over three times worse in GHG emissions than eating bacon."
As a person who wants to eat well and be an environmentally conscious citizen, what are you supposed to do? Here are three ways you can continue your organic lifestyle and celebrate Earth Day without feeling guilty that you're doing more harm than good.
1. Consider Growing Your Own Food
Growing your own food helps the environment in many ways — you'll prevent air and water pollution, reduce the use of fossil fuels and spare the planet from the resources involved in transporting fruits and vegetables to your local supermarket.
The benefits are more than just environmental: Building your own garden can help you get exercise, build your sense of pride and make sure your food is always fresh and tasty.
2. Eat This, Not That
The good news is that, when it comes to GHG output, not all fruits and vegetables are created equal. Lettuce takes a toll on the environment because it requires major resources — like water and energy — to grow, harvest and transport.
Onions, okra and broccoli, for example, have less of an environmental footprint. If you're a strict vegetarian, consider beans, too. Beans are low in fat, high in necessary protein and folic acid — among other nutrients — and don't require a lot of resources to produce.
3. Use Your Own Kitchen
You've heard all the negative impacts of processed foods, and it's true — they also can hurt the environment. Processed foods require greater energy to produce than whole foods, so they are associated with a high GHG output. You can avoid processed foods simply by learning how to cook your own meals — after all, you have that stove for a reason!
You don't have to do it the Paula Deen way. You can make comfort food that's still healthy if you substitute healthful ingredients while cooking up your favorite recipes. For example, try using low-fat milk instead of heavy cream. Serve up a faux-meat dish by substituting tofu for beef. Or swap out the white pasta in favor of whole wheat noodles, which are packed with more nutrients and fewer empty carbs.
Health-conscious treats can taste just as good as the traditional recipe, and your body will probably thank you for it. The environment will too, because you're also doing your part to reduce your carbon footprint.
Even with these helpful tips, you may be tempted to throw away that head of lettuce for fear that you're destroying the planet. Don't panic!
You're not a hypocrite for choosing a vegetarian diet. While the CMU study suggests that your lifestyle may not be as environmentally helpful as you thought, remember that it's only one study — and like most single studies, it has its own set of limitations.
As the study acknowledges, a majority of Americans eat far too many calories for their body weight , and the growing obesity epidemic takes an even bigger toll on the environment than your fruits and vegetables do.
If you're a vegetarian or just a health-conscious consumer, don't worry too much: You're probably doing less harm to the planet than your neighbor who just ordered a large Papa John's pizza with extra meat and cheese.

Thinking about giving your air compressor a clean? Since an air compressor is required in almost every air tool that one can think about, it is an important machine and regular cleaning is a good way to ensure that it continues to operate well. Don't ignore the health of your air compressor if you want tools to function in an uninterrupted manner. Here are seven steps that will help you keep your air compressors completely clean.

• Check the Manual: This has to be the first step in your air compressor cleaning schedule. The user manual helps you know the workings of the specific air compressor you're using. There will be some facts and tips stated in it that have been put there so that you take special care to follow them. Following the manual also helps keep the warranty from becoming void.
• Keep the Tanks Moisture-Free: Moisture accumulates in the air tank when the air is being compressed. If you live in a humid environment, the chances of moisture accumulating in the tank increase. Therefore, it may be necessary to drain the tanks of air compressor regularly.
• Nuts and Bolts: Because your air compressor is probably used on a regular basis, it's wise to check all the fasteners, like nuts, bolts and the screws, before each use. Tighten them up whenever you notice they've become loose.
• Check the Hose: The hose is like the vein of the air compressor. Any leakage or breakage that the hose suffers can cause a great amount of pressure on the air compressor. Therefore, as soon as you observe some kind of damage to the hose, get it repaired as soon as possible.
• Compressor Oil: You need to clear the oil in the compressor and replace it with fresh compressor oil from time to time. This applies only to oil-based compressors, not any other varieties.
• Cleaning the Fuel Tank: As important as it is to clean the fuel inside the Quincy Rotary Screw Air Compressor, it's also essential to regularly clean the fuel tank in the air compressor. This ensures that the air compressor is free of any residual buildup.
• Changing the Separator Elements: It is recommended that you change the separator elements in the air compressor with every 1000 hours of use.
These are some of the things that you need to take note of in order to keep your air compressor absolutely clean and free of damage. There are other small things that will be in listed your user manual, as well. Once you understand the different parts of an air compressor and their functions, you will be able to efficiently clean the compressor.

This time of year is hectic. Not only can it be a struggle to find time to do fun things, it can be difficult to find healthy things to do. We're surrounded by cookies, candy and sugary beverages, all promising to fill our hearts with cheer. But during the holiday season, I like to focus on the array of things to do that won't put me in need of an intense detox at the beginning of the year.

After Thanksgiving dinner, the radio is flipped on to a station playing continuous Christmas music, and it stays there throughout the season.
Music is a powerful thing. Even if you are cleaning or working, music will keep your spirit bright. It makes your home so festive. A little Jingle Bell Rock brings back exciting Christmas memories for me. Grab an Andy Williams CD or crank up some "Delilah".
With all of the health aware recipe blogs and websites out there, it's easy to find recipes for tasty treats made with real, healthy ingredients. Gluten-intolerant, diabetic or vegetarian? No problem! Diabetic Foodie and Eating Well have loads of delicious alternatives.
I enjoy making spiced nuts with organic sugar, spices, egg whites and vanilla. Chestnuts are also really fun to roast, but poke holes in them before roasting or they will explode! Cheese straws are easy to make with organic wheat flour and cheese. And if you are just craving a little sugar, make some dark chocolate oatmeal cookies with organic flour, oats, butter, sugar and chocolate chips. It will start to taste a lot like Christmas, and smell like it too, with goodies in the oven.
Candles add a calming ambiance to any home. When I light candles, I feel instant stress relief and it makes the room feel warm and welcoming. A pine scent will make guests think you just brought in a fresh cut tree! Make sure your candles are free of artificial fragrance, paraffin and lead because those ingredients will turn your moment of relaxation into a health hazard.
If you don't like the idea of an open flame, fill a pot with orange peels, rosemary, spices and a little water to simmer on the stove. Not only will it fill the air will natural scents, but it's very cost effective.
Nothing says cozy like a roaring fire. I haven't always had a fireplace, so I would use the Yule Log DVD. If you've never heard of it, it's a disk that displays a lifelike fireplace on your TV, along with realistic crackling noises. As a bonus, you can opt to have Christmas carols play. It may not be warm, but it is certainly festive!
When I was young, my parents would load us in the car and we would head out to see the festive decorations around our hometown. Add this tradition to your family's holiday festivities, or look for holiday light tours that are run by local parks or the city.
You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on a big bash. A few friends, some delicious food and fun games are all you need. This year, my brother is hosting an ugly sweater party, and there will no more than 10 people attending. Everyone is bringing a snack so he won't have to spend a fortune on food.
The party will require a small investment from everyone, but nothing puts people in the holiday spirit like a party with all the people you love being around!
My husband and I love to head to downtown to get the "bustling" feeling of December. One shopping location in particular has beautiful lights, stores reminiscent of the old days, a candy shop that emits delicious smells and Christmas music flowing down the streets. This Atlanta location also has ice skating and falling "snow" in the courtyard at 7pm.
We head to a farm that is environmentally responsible, growing and replacing their trees. A lot of tree farms are decorated and serve warm cider for this fun, family tradition. Whether you get a big tree or a tabletop, it's a great experience for adults and children.
You don't have to cram cookies down your throat or take out a loan to enjoy the holidays. The simplest things are often the most special. Just relax, be healthy and have a very happy holiday season!

great quality raisins in useful packs
Greatness....Organic and tasty!

Great for school lunches
Posted by eathealthy on Jul 02, 2013
These are perfect for school lunches and snacks. The raisins are super soft and I love that they are organic! It is a little pricey though for only 6 boxes. I wish you could buy more boxes at once. Will try the bulk pack next to refill these little boxes. If you liked my review, click on eathealthy in blue above to read my reviews about other products I have tried from iherb.

an excellent quality and great package
Absolute Bliss!
Posted by 5514081950035846903 on Oct 12, 2013
These are absolutely delicious soft and sweet. Sometimes one finds raisins that are hard, dry and shrivelled up. These raisins in these little boxes are soft, sweet and so fresh, really delicious. I would definitely buy them again. Sprinkle over salads or even better give the box instead of candies to your kids to eat. Use some Psychology here and give the whole box to them as candy. The kids will love walking around and nibbling on the raisins. A healthier alternative with lots of natural sweetness.
Nice and sweetness just right!
Posted by pollytan on Sep 25, 2012
I bought this for my kid as her snack. And knowing that this product is all natural and organic with no added sugar, I can let her snack on it with no worries.

I ordered these raisins as party favors for my boy's upcoming birthday and they were received on 25th Sept with the BBE date as 4th October 2015. This is incredulous as the party is on 3rd Oct and I'm definitely not expecting to have them in the favor bags for kids. Utterly disappointing.
My kids love these

My kids just love these. Used to eat them like treat only. and i usually add them to my breakfast yoghurt or fil

We're leaving soon for our Seattle trip via Amtrak. It will be my first "overnight train" trip.
If anyone has done this and can offer pointers, tips, ideas for stuff to carry on or bring...I'm all ears ...errr..eyes

Thoreau said, 'A man is rich in proportion to the things he can leave alone.'
Have you seen the Sex and the City show where they took the train? Well that's pretty much how it is. Not glamourous in the slightest. At a minimum I would bring:
a neck pillow (the same kind used for air trips)
your own food (food car = gross and overpriced)
hand sanitizer (that liquid germ killing stuff)
a small wash cloth (for your face, neck, etc... the next morning. I do not - nor do I recommend - shower on a train)
lots of books, magazines, entertainment
eye pillow thing (that mask that covers out light because it's never really dark enough to sleep)
Good luck and enjoy Seattle.
The way to become boring is to say everything.
-- Voltaire
Will you have a private sleeping cabin? If not, I HIGHLY recommend ear plugs...The noise of dozens of people snoring through the night was unbearable for me and DS. We went to the club car and stayed up all night playing scrabble. Also, they do not have enough of both pillows and blankets (not that you'd want to use theirs anyway )so bring along a light wrap if you can afford the space. Have fun in Seattle!
Hi Wallycat! How funny--we're going to do a very short overnight trip on Amtrak to Seattle too! (Just one night on the train each way.) We sprang for the sleeping car because it's our last private "getaway" before having our second child. (Child #1 will not be with us by the way.)
So, I'm interested in info too. Does anyone have comments on the sleeping cars? Do I need to bring an extra pillow, etc.? When the above poster said the food was bad, was that in the "dining car" or the "lounge car" (or both)?
At any rate, I never thought of asking for info on the BB! Good thinking Wallycat!
P.S. I've done day trips on Amtrak before, and I agree that the lounge car food isn't worth the price--bring your own on board if possible. However, since the price of meals in the dining car is included with a sleeping cabin, I was hoping it would be edible?
Well I've only been in one sleeping car (hence my showering comment) and it wasn't nearly as nice as trains in Europe. As for your specific questions, extra pillow? Well that all depends on you. Have you ever gotten a pillow on an airplane? Well they are like that only larger. They are synthetic, used by everyone, but with a clean cover on it. So that's a personal decision.Originally posted by naomike

The dining car food is edible, but certainly not great. Again, think airplane food but served on dishes instead of a weird container like tray. Some of it is fine, and some of it is just nasty.
But please, conside the source when taking my advice here. Amtrak is not fancy in my opinion at all. I've been on much nicer trains throughout Europe (Spain, France, and German trains especially). In my opinion Amtrak is on the same line as Greyhound. And I usually feel disgusted by overnight airplane experiences (less than clean bathrooms, not 'fresh' blankets and pillows, food service food, etc...) So please take that into consideration.
I guess I'm just a travel snob or something
The way to become boring is to say everything.
-- Voltaire
I agree with all of the above posters. American trains (unfortunately) do not live up to their European counterparts. I'd recommend a toothbrush (hey, sometimes even the obvious needs to be stated) and maybe a small cooler with bottled water and some fruit/veggies. The food is like airline food - functional and mediocre.
m4star - I don't think you are a travel snob. Once you've travelled German trains, you've been spoiled. I miss them.
"Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But, we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us. Oh, yeah, did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick. Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question."
Nah, I don't think you're a travel snob either. I think it's good to be prepared too (expect the worst and hope for the best and all that). You've also got me thinking that I have got to spend some more time using the trains on our next trip to Europe. Don't know when that will be, but I'm always dreaming . . .
Thank you for the advice so far!!
Nope, not a travel snob.
Gee, I was sort of looking forward to this, but now will grin and bear it.
I'm bringing one of those roll-on carry-on cases...all filled with FOOD so I should be OK in that respect.
I'm easily entertained...don't mind reading, sleeping, or bugging DH , but the toilet issue could be ..well...an issue!
I'll bring those disposable face-cloth thingies so that will be alright, and I guess skipping a shower won't be the worst thing.
Thanks again for your tips.
Thoreau said, 'A man is rich in proportion to the things he can leave alone.'
I echo what everyone else is saying... when I was seven I took the train with my darling mother and brother across the whole country (from Rochester, NY to Seattle).
Definitely bring ear plugs if you have trouble sleeping with noise, and without question, bring some sort of pillow.
Other than that - have fun!
�When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be�
wallycat & naomike are you by any chance taking Amtrak's Coast Starlight to Seattle? DH and I travelled from San Jose to Seattle for our honeymoon a few years ago and it was a great experience. We had a sleeping car and yes, it was quite cramped so I recommend packing a small backpack sized bag with toiletries, a change of clothes, reading material and other personal items you want to keep with you. We did end up having access to our "checked" baggage during our trip, but it was nice to have all the important stuff with us.
Here is the good news: the food on the Coast Starlight was enjoyable - we ate way more of it than we should have! Definitely better than any airplane food I've had. Also, the Coast Starlight has a wonderful parlour car for the sleeping car passengers where they have wine & champagne tastings during the day.
DH & I have never been on European sleeper trains so we had nothing to compare, but we really enjoyed ourselves & hope to make the trip again someday.
I haven't taken a long train ride recently, but when I was in college I took Amtrak from New York to Seattle and then down to Los Angeles. It was quite an adventure and the scenery from Chicago to Seattle was spectacular. In those days, I never dreamed of having a sleeper and made do with the accomodations. One night shouldn't be too bad. I love the sound of the train and find it very lulling. As I write this, I hear it in my head.
I love trains and want to take DD on a cross country train ride before she heads off to college. It is an unparalled was way to see the extent of our country. I have never driven cross country and it was a real eye opener to get a sense of the distance from coast to coast. Train passengers were friendly and open to chatting, which I like.
You have gotten a lot of good suggestions from everyone else. I hope you have a wonderful trip and that you enjoy the train ride.
Thank you for the additional comments! Yes, DH and I will be on the Coast Starlight. Amtrak is quite proud of the Coast Starlight line and they tell you all about the extra amenities on this train when you call them. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the parlour car and wine tasting. Also, when I called them to buy tickets, Amtrak insisted that the food is "cooked to order" by a chef on board if you eat in the dining car, so I'm happy to hear you thought it was better than airplane food! Of course, I've never eaten on board a train in Europe (we just took a several hour day trip on a train once in France) so I won't have anything to compare it against either.
So, DH and I are treating this as an adventure! Hopefully it will be a good one.
Thanks again!

The Heart of Texas Therapy Dogs visited groups of students from Richardson and Plano at Williams High School as part of their classroom curriculum. As the dogs and their owners entered the room single file in a parade-type processional, the squeals of delight erupted throughout the room from students and teachers.
"The reaction we get from people is why we do this," said dog owner and Heart of Texas Therapy Dogs president, Diane Gossett. "We brighten up people's days."
I've been a fan of the program after hearing about their success in the Tales for Tails program at the Richardson Public Library where kiddos read to these cuddly service dogs. The nonprofit, all-volunteer group was started by Barbara Wilson of Richardson and Sheryll Barker of Cedar Creek in 2003 with a dozen dog-handler teams visiting assisted living centers in the Richardson area.
"Our therapy dog visits brought them all the joy and pleasure of interacting with a dog," Wilson said. "We also started the pet therapy program at what is now the Methodist Richardson Medical Center. The therapy dog visits brought many benefits to the patients such as elevating their mood and providing a welcome distraction from discomfort, worry or pain."
Now, there are more than 150 dog teams (the owner and their pet) whose members are registered with Therapy Dogs Incorporated. Heart of Texas Therapy Dogs puts wannabe teams through various tests to determine eligibility before being accepted into the program.
According to Wilson, teams visit locations throughout D/FW such as Alzheimer treatment facilities, the Dallas VA hospital, family shelters, camps for children with special needs and rehabilitation facilities. Owners are often touched by the life-changing experiences of their dogs helping others like Gossett visiting a comatose patient.
"We put this gentleman's hand on my dog Luke's head," she said. "The patient started slowly moving his hand to pet him. Soon his eyes started fluttering. We have stories like this happening all of the time."
These loveable pets are adopted, shelter dogs to pedigrees and vary in size. It's dogs like Traveler, the giant Great Dane, that brighten up people's days. Traveler has to be the biggest dog I've ever seen, but he is also one of the sweetest. With his loving demeanor and that of his canine companions, it's easy to see why this is such a popular tail wagging program.
This year the organization is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. The folks at Atria Richardson, a senior assisted and independent living community hope the group continues for years to come. Residents can routinely be seen waiting in the lobby to greet their furry friends during twice a month visits.
"These dogs mean so much to the residents," said Lauren Beth Aldridge, Engage Life director at Atria. "Therapy dogs are so important to our community and you can see how much joy they bring with each visit."
Wilson, married for 37 years to her husband, Jim and with a grown daughter, Julie Ann, makes volunteering for the nonprofit a family affair. They, along with their four Chihuahuas, and the organization's dedicated volunteers don't plan on stopping any time soon.
"Over and over again, in every facility we visit, people often tell us that our visit absolutely made their day," she said. "That made it clear that we were making a difference and that this was something we needed to continue."
For more information on the program, visit their website at hotthdogs.org.

What is with Channel 9's "new" radar system? It looks like an old Atari game.
Also: Channel 4 and 5 mark their storms/stormpaths with arrows and cones that are easily translated without explanation. Channel 9 gives me trapezoids. What the hell? Do I want to be in the trapezoid, or out? Which direction is the trapezoid facing?
In summary, Channel 9 was worthless on Tuesday due to radar FAIL.

What are some works of SFF that use extraordinarily beautiful language?
What are some works of SFF that showcase beautiful language on a par with All The King's Men, Gilead, and Raymond Chandler's detective novels? I've read plenty of SFF that has transported me, but little that's struck me as gorgeously written. Thanks!
Examples of amazing but still accessible writing?
I'm not a smart man. But I do enjoy well written things. But well written books, poems, articles or whatever sometimes seem to be to hard to get into. Anyhow I would love to have examples of what people find to be amazing, creative and perhaps unique in the form of the written word. I don't care if it is famous or not. The best of the best of accessible yet amazingly written works. Thanks!

writing that's direct, morally complex, and personal at the same time
There's no shortage of excellent "what to read" threads around here, but I'm looking for something a bit more specific. The tricky part is I'm looking for a style and a point of view, rather than a particular genre or subject. [more inside]

Across from a gas station east of Danville in Ringgold are two softball fields.
"They have a special place in my heart. That's what I tell everybody. This is my second home," said Taylor Nunn. She practically grew up on the fields. She's spent 10 years playing here and four coaching girls of all ages from Northern North Carolina and Southern Virginia for Diamond Fever Softball.
Her passion got even stronger when she heard the news that nearly broker her heart: the property the teams play on is being sold.
"We're struggling right now with being able to keep our facility," said LaDonna Varner, a mother of a player and on the organization's board.
"Two years ago we were told it was going to be sold and the people were generous enough to allow us first dibs, for two years we've been paying rent trying to raise the money and we just are falling short," Varner said.
The teams would either have to find a new place to play or buy the fields. Diamond Fever likes a challenge. Varner got an email from Dick's Sporting Goods about its Sports Matter campaign that helps teams struggling financially. This team fits the bill.
"We know that sports help build character and teach those life lessons that kids can take beyond the playing field itself so it's important to keep those programs up and running," said Brent DiGiacomo, the community marketing manager with Dick's Sporting Goods.
Dick's chose to help Diamond Fever under one condition, it has to raise roughly $48,500 by May 23.
The company is matching that figure to pay for the $97,000 property. The team needs $35,350 to meet its goal.
"At first I thought it was a lot of money, and I didn't know how we are going to do it but now that like we've had all these fundraisers and everything I think it's coming together good," said Kendall Varner, a softball player.
"So you think this can actually happen?" WDBJ7's Justin Ward asked.
"Yeah," Varner said.

MUMBAI - The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex closed sharply in the red as weak cues from European markets coupled with rupee depreciation spooked sentiments. All the sectoral indices were in the red with realty, power, capital goods and metals leading the decline.
The Indian rupee weakened against the US dollar on rising demand for the latter from importers. The partially convertible rupee was at 51.03, down 37paise against its previous close of 50.66 per dollar.

There are tons of possibilities when creating a digital space for your classroom. A lot is dependent on what your ultimate goal is for your new space and what purpose it will serve alongside your face-to-face meetings. Whether it will serve as a blueprint for your classroom or if it will simply supplement your material with relevant links and reminders, choosing a platform can be stressful and a time consuming decision.
To take some of the guesswork out of this process, I have outlined three possibilities below – each tackling a different 'school of thought' when implementing a digital classroom space.
1. Twitter (pros: highly social, perfect for supplemental info/links, great question/answer tool, great communication tool)
Many of us already use Twitter for our own professional development (and if you don't, you should). Why not translate your natural twitter abilities to the classroom? A large portion of your students already use Twitter on a daily basis – approach them on a level that they understand and enjoy.
What you will need:
- A Twitter account – sign up help here.
- The ability to be brief – Twitter only allows for 160 character messages.
- A commitment to updating your feed regularly.
Uses as a digital classroom space:
- Sharing supplemental links
- Reminding students of due dates and materials to bring to class
- Q/A sessions for students
- Posting updates and info for parents
2. Weebly (pros: highly informational, static content, multiple design options, classroom resource)
Weebly is a free website creation tool that allows you to develop your own space on the web. If you have the desire to create a class website, weebly is going to be your tool of choice. With drag and drop simplicity, you can easily create a website with several pages, a calendar, pictures, the ability to have file uploads, and just about anything else you could want to embed on a website.
What you will need:
- A free Weebly account
- An extremely basic understanding of web site development (none is OK too)
- About an hour of time for setup (to initially setup your page and do some basic design)
- Some content that you're ready to put online (otherwise your site will be blank!)
Uses as a digital classroom space:
- Digital syllabus for each class
- Place for students to find links to assignments and supplemental material
- Place for students to submit digital homework assignments
- Post contact information for students and parents
- Create spaces (pages) for each unit of instruction (and keep it for next semester!)
- many more!
3. Edmodo (pros: full featured learning management system, grade book, submit digital assignments, safe/secure)
Edmodo is an online learning management system that is completely free and completely easy to use. Great for computer based classes, Edmodo creates a full featured digital learning environment for your students. By joining your class on the site, students are connected in a educational 'facebook' style environment (one that they will fully understand). You can promote discussion, post announcements, share documents, administer quizzes, collect assignments, keep grades/attendance, and maintain a course calendar all within the site.
What you will need:
- A free Edmodo account.
- A clear plan of action on how your class will use a full LMS system.
- A day in your class to devote to getting students into the group and troubleshoot any unexpected problems.
Uses as a digital classroom space:
- Reminders, information distribution
- Supplemental classroom discussions
- Assignment submission
- File storage (allow students to access files you've uploaded to Edmodo)
- Collaboration space for group projects
- Grade monitoring
- Assignment monitoring/feedback tool
- much more!
Keep in mind, these are just three of the many digital classroom tools available – and many exist in each of these different categories. Knowing what you want to accomplish within your digital space is paramount and will guide your decision making process.
Have a great tool that you use to create your digital space – or have a question? Talk with us in the comments!

Chris asks…
enumerate at least 5 ways on how scientists record experimental results.?
please help! thanks!
i know the scientific method! iam asking how scientists record experimental results. anyway, thanks.
please! i need it tomorrow!
Scientists communicate among themselves using several types of writing, each with its own rules based on the writers' purposes and the readers' needs. Names for these types of writing may vary slightly depending on the instructor and the discipline, but some general rules are likely to be true. If you are unsure about what rules to follow, ask your instructor for a style sheet or a sample and pay careful attention to what you see there. Typical experiments involve three types of writing: raw observations on lab notebook data sheets; revised lab notebook entries; and formal reports, submitted as manuscripts to professional journals. When you have read to the end of this page, but before you try to write your article, consult "How to Write a Scientific Article" for a "cookbook" approach to what the most important sections must contain and how your reader will interact with them.
1) Lab Notebook
Scientists use lab notebooks as a written record of their experiments, their materials, and their results. Other researchers who are familiar with the subject being studied should be able to use the lab notebook to reconstruct the experiment for themselves. The revised lab notebook entry probably will contain a mix of sentences, short phrases, and numerical data drawn from "data records" entered earlier in the notebook. Brevity and clarity are much more important than your prose style. Use the lab notebook to sketch pictures of things relevant to your research like an unusual piece of equipment, a "flow-chart" of your experiment's procedure, or something important which you see while conducting the experiment (changes of shape, color, size).
2) Data Records (part of the lab notebook)
While observing an experiment or collecting data in the field, scientists often record their observations in table format. Dated and well-organized data are an important part of a lab notebook because they hold your lab observations in a structured format that prepares you for later analysis. Data records contain only numbers and short phrases–don't worry about writing complete sentences or paragraphs. Of course, the categories and labels on yours will be changed to suit the experiment you conduct.
3) Scientific Articles or Reports and Their Composing Processes
Scientists publish articles to tell colleagues around the world about their work. Because the audience is international, all lab reports follow a very strict format. Most reports contain seven sections in this order: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Methods and Materials, Results, Discussion, Literature Cited. Only certain kinds of information belong in each section of an article. An article is based on the lab notebook and data sheets, but it is written in complete sentences forming coherent paragraphs within each section. In research articles, the Materials and Methods section usually is written first, then Results, Discussion, Introduction, Abstract, and Literature Cited. See pages 2 and 3 for more help with the article format.
Susan asks…
i need help with audit process flow:audit trail of all financial data.?
Compliane requires that all data changes be recorded in the history tables and that the auditing model employ a mechanism to audit any user on demand.Use a data model or a combination of auditing models to produce the following:Process flow diagram or flow chart of your auditing model,the data model of your auditing model and identification of all the components that will be involved in the auditing model.The models that i'm talking about are simple auditing model 1 or 2 and advanced auditing model. i've been trying to read to understand what is required but i have no clue. Somebody who has please assist me.Any suggestion is welcome
You have a challenging assignment that may be in an academic theoretical reality that does not connect well to the real world.
I am a computer guy.
I am not an auditor.
I have been called upon to do data forensics.
I don't know models terminology. I just know how to get the job done.
For assurance that all data changes be in the history, there needs to be a level of computer security assurance (computer dept has power to delete & insert records, without going through standard channels, does anyone keep track of that?), know resolution of downage (You in middle of updating something, your PC locks up, what happens to the data?), and archiving (we do not keep the data forever, how do we know it is the oldest that is written off?).
To audit on demand what any user has done, well the history needs to include identification of user, work station address, time stamp (user leaves work area, someone else does transaction on their work station … User's password gets learned by someone who signs on from some place the user not have access, use their name to do the transaction).
Then there needs to be an understanding of the limitations of the software used to access the records.
For example, it is not unusual to match up … Inventory reference #s associated with the changes … Ok what happens in the software if something being matched up is not there … Like maybe a purchase order got closed, purged, so the transaction refers to some control that aint there … Is that transaction also omitted from the inquiry?
If the audit team does not have a good understanding of the data base and software architecture being used by the company that they are auditing, then they have to rely on programs used by that company, without the ability to know about flaws or bugs in that software, that might cause people to not see the whole picture.
I can't see that a flow chart is relevant here.
Flow charts are generally used when a person has a detailed understanding of a process, and some other people need to see a simiplified picture, or someone is designing a system, and this is used in a top down approach to help organize things.
A flow chart is not relevant to doing data forensics when you are trying to figure out what is going on, what did go on, you don't know where the evidence will lead you.
We recently had an IRS audit.They wanted to know if I "changed the data" in a report delivered to the auditors.
Well I selected the data to go on the report.
I selected the arrangement of the data.
I made the columns line up nice.
I did various testing to make sure the report was accurate … In fact, more than 1/2 the time spent in preparing it was in detecting & fixing problems.
I did not mention that years ago I might have deleted some of the data upon which this report is based, because I just answering with respect to what I remember doing with the data in the last few days to get what was wanted for the IRS auditors.
After I passed it along, it occurrect to me that some of the vendor #s can get reassigned over time, so that when I linked the expense data to what vendor name that is, that's the name for that # now being used, it might not be the name used years ago.
George asks…
What is the current change in Earth's magnetic poles?
Feb. 27, 2005 Scientists have been observing changes in the direction of earth's magnetic field which took place recently as well as in the distant past. NASA's website features a map showing the gradual northward migration of the north magnetic pole in the past century and a half. Since more than double the time interval has elapsed since the last reversal, compared to the time lapse between the previous two pole reversals, some believe we may be overdue for the next north-south flip. However, though the interval between reversals of the Earth's magnetic field can be as short as 5,000 years, it can also be as long as 50 million years. There does not seem to be any logic or rule governing the planet's behavior.
It is not only the direction but also the strength of this magnetic field that is a concern. In the time of dinosaurs, at an estimated 2.5 gauss, it was eighty percent stronger than it is now. The weakening of earth's magnetism is one of the factors believed to be predictive of a pole reversal. That magnetic field reversals have occurred in the past is confirmed in the geological record. What is unclear is how precisely the transition occurs, and what happens to life forms extant at the time of this pole flip.
The disorderly-flip theory is supported by evidence from geology that in past reversals the decline was not total. Lava flows that solidified at Steen's Mountain during a lengthy reversal process show that the magnetic poles wandered across the equator three times. Though strength of the field was reduced to about 20% of maximum, there is no record that it fell to zero gauss during that transitional period.
Tampa International Airport runway shut down due to magnetic pole shift
An airport in Tampa, Florida, has had to temporarily close its runways to keep up with Earth's magnetic north pole, which is drifting toward Russia at a rate of 40 miles per year. Fox News reports that the international airport was forced to adjust the signs on its busiest runway Thursday because pilots depend on the magnetic fields to navigate. The runway will be closed until Jan. 13, and will re-open with new taxiway signs that indicate its new location on aviation charts, the Tampa Bay Tribune reports.
Paul Takemoto, a spokesman for the FAA, says the Earth's magnetic fields are constantly in flux — but rarely so much so that runway signage needs to be changed. "You want to be absolutely precise in your compass heading," he told Fox. "To make sure the precision is there that we need, you have to make these changes."
"The Earth's poles are changing constantly, and when they change more than three degrees, that can affect runway numbering," FAA spokesperson Kathleen Bergen told Fox News. It's unclear whether any other airports will have to adjust their runways.
Earth's magnetic field, which still flummoxes those who study it, "is thought to be generated deep inside the planet," LiveScience writer Jeanna Bryner explains. "An inner core of solid iron is surrounded by an outer core of molten iron. They rotate at different rates, and the interaction between the regions creates what scientists call a 'hydromagnetic dynamo.' It's something like an electric motor, and it generates a magnetic field akin to a giant bar magnet."
Sometimes, the poles completely flip — and presumably when that happens, many bigger changes are afoot than modest tweaks to airport signs. The last time the planet experienced a polarity flip was 780,000 years ago.
Donald asks…
Im an s-corp and need to show that someone is being paid wages so im payin myself. ?
Not making much of a profit yet so what do I do? Cut myself a check every month and at the end of the year add it to my personal taxes? If so how do I do that on the corporation side? What forms do I need to fill out each north or quarter or records to keep? I have no idea!!
And before you do get into some big trouble and create some problems for your self you really should seek some face to face professional assistance with this S-Corp business and the necessary tax reporting and forms that you will have to correctly complete fill out and file for this purpose.
Use the search box at the www.irs.gov website to start with your learning process and type S Corporations
S corporations are corporations that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credit through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes.
Shareholders of S corporations report the flow-through of income and losses on their personal tax returns and are assessed tax at their individual income tax rates. This allows S corporations to avoid double taxation on the corporate income. S corporations are responsible for tax on certain built-in gains and passive income.
To qualify for S corporation status, the corporation must meet the following requirements:
In order to become an S corporation, the corporation must submit Form 2553 Election by a Small Business Corporation (PDF) signed by all the shareholders.
Filing Requirements:

Backdating: More Resignations, More Legal Business
- ACS announced that its top two executives were resigning after an internal investigation concluded they were closely involved in manipulation of stock options at the technology-outsourcing company. CEO Mark King and CFO Warren Edwards stepped down from their posts yesterday.
Want more evidence that the backdating scandal is a boon for the white-collar bar? ACS's internal investigation was conducted by Marc Mukasey of Bracewell & Giuliani. King is represented by Karen Seymour of Sullivan & Cromwell, who said her client voluntarily resigned as CEO and "cooperated fully" with the investigation and "acted at all times in good faith and did not engage in any intentional misconduct." Edwards is repped is Gary Naftalis of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, who said his client cooperated "fully and forthrightly" with the probe, "engaged in no intentional misconduct," and "acted in good faith at all times in connection with the company's longstanding and historic options granting practices." Another ACS executive who resigned last year, Jeffrey Rich, is represented by Aitan Goelman at Zuckerman Spaeder.
- Quest Software said M. Brinkley Morse, its senior vice president of corporate development, resigned after declining to be interviewed by a special committee investigating the granting of stock options. The company has suggested in SEC filings that its options were backdated, and it is in the process of restating more than five years of financial statements. Morse, who previously served as the company's CFO from 2001 to 2005, couldn't be reached for comment. According to his biography, he's a Tulane Law School graduate and served as the editor of the Tulane Law Review; he served as general counsel of BMC Software from 1988 to 1998.

The FOMC today announced that it would continue to trim the pace of bond purchases, paring monthly buying to $45 billion.
yuan dropped 0.18 percent, the biggest decline in two weeks, to close at 6.2489
per dollar in Shanghai. It touched 6.2509 earlier today, the weakest since Dec.
12, 2012. The currency has declined 3.1 percent this year, the biggest loss
among Asia's 11 top currencies.
The euro rose the most in two weeks versus the dollar as manufacturing
and services in the currency bloc expanded more than economists forecast,
damping bets the European Central Bank will further ease monetary policy.
The dollar remained lower against most of its top peers even after U.S.
house prices rose in February. The 0.6 percent jump exceeded the median
forecast for a 0.5 percent gain ....
It is a low volume/low news trading day as many financial markets are still
on Easter Holiday. The JPY fell after Japan's trade deficit widened more than
expected last month.
