Here's a nice channeling on some changes that are going on in the human body right now.
We are becoming a NEW species of Earth ~ creatures of our OWN Awareness! Every Soul has a "story" … what's yours? How have we incorporated our souls into our Humanness? Pondering thoughts I am watching many that are in the limelight ~ totally combust … people we have followed, envied, enjoyed … whatever their affiliation to what we saw them as ~ dependent on your vibration ~ your observation ~ ~ ~ you are witnessing the unraveling of many. You are watching, publicly, many "dark nights of the soul" Perhaps in your own sacred spaces you are feeling pangs of implosions, even explosions ~ this is coming in our physicality, as well as our mentality ~ thoughts are wavering and if you step outside of that vibration that you have now reached, You are feeling every bit of that discombobulation ~ many probably are even questioning their sanity, their life! Enough already ~ "I don't want to play anymore"! In those moments of disarray ~ of panic stricken moments ~ it is not only important to realize that You are the MOST Empowered BEing you have EVER been … more importantly, in this moment … CLAIM YOUR POWER!! You ALWAYS have the wherewithal to create your reality in ANY GIVEN MOMENT … if you are AWARE of your vibration ~ from encounters with others to the Body Temple flare-ups and YES we have had many of those of late … WHY? Our Body Temples are changing more rapidly than before due to the magnification of the energies flowing into and upon Earth Mother ~ you are like a "conductor" ~ the energy must travel through You and it is UP TO YOU HOW YOU RADIATE that frequency ~ hence, all the dishevelment happening right now … TRUTH is prevailing ~ no longer can we live a "lie" of just piddling or dabbling with our vibration ~ the time is NOW to USE every nth of your energies to CREATE CHANGE FOR NEW EARTH!! This is what you are HERE TO DO ~ if you are still carryi'~~~ng grudges, pointing out inconsistencies in other people's lives ~ not affecting what you came to do ~ then you are not using your vibration to the highest good! You know exactly what this means It is enough to move through these frequencies with grace ~ top that with the influx of everything being revealed and crumbling around us … our Body Temples are changing in warp speeds ~ healing our Temples have become practically instantaneous ~ what used to take weeks to heal is now healing within days ~ and every pain or ache is VERY pronouncedly more painful … albeit, much more short lived! When we learn to accept our Body Temples as the extension of LIGHT that they are becoming ~ realizing we have the ultimate power by directly affecting the area that is in need of healing by connecting to it … by talking to it … by embracing it with LOVE! LOVE IS THE CONSUMMATE HEALING MODALITY! When we stay within our sacred space we see with our Soul Eyes ~ we SEE what is happening and what GOOD is being created … as we observe ~ from wherever you sit and see ~ YOU KNOW what is happening. As each of us traveled those trails of tattered tales ~ each of us ~ became AWARE and we AWAKENED to our SourceSpirit within US ~ we were enabled to SEE with a HIGHER vibration that all ANSWERS lie WITHIN US … WITHIN OUR SOULS … that nothing out there can affect us … UNLESS WE ALLOW IT!! This is so important for our daily tasks … if we allow the words, the escapades of others to impede upon our space … then we are not living within our OWN HIGHER Empowerments… we are not using our Soul Thoughts to Create our Realities ~ we are letting someone else's journey create our feelings This is YOUR JOURNEY and ONLY YOU can Travel this path!!! It will only become more and more intense ~ the energies are magnifying daily … if not hourly in what we know as "time" ~ it is time to USE YOUR LIGHT in EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of EVERY DAY!! As these magnifications become more and more intensified ~ one of the biggest complaints physically, is headaches (migraines) ~ try using ~ ~ ~ high ph water ~ cold or cool compresses ~ deep breathing exercises ~ soft music (my preference is Native American Flutes) ~ connection to the pain ~ visualizing. I have had my fair share of these headaches and asked "why" these were happening and received a few answers ~ always first is INTEGRATION ~ and then EXPANSION … our brains are expanding ~ and CALIBRATION ~ remembering ALL parts of our Body Temple are "controlled" from our brains. Skin anomalies ~ breakouts * rashes * hives * itchiness * (remember you are becoming younger) as your DNA changes, your Body Temple is undergoing massive change ~ and many are probably noticing MANY GOOD CHANGES ~ remember to Honour your Temple ~ Nurture You as often as you can! Use Natural products on the Body Temple as often as possible! Baking soda serves well as a drying agent for skin outbreaks ~ which also is indicative of "outbursts" that are not within keeping of our vibrational value! Diets … eating is probably becoming less and less ~ and many are "moving" their Bodies more ~ walking * exercising * swimming * ~ ~ ~ ~ as your metabolism raises you feel the need to move more ~ eating less albeit, eating more healthy foods … there is less and less eating out … more preparation of one's own foods (you know what is in it) ~ The Body Temple does not tolerate the chemicals of GMO foods or fast foods very well ~ and one can really feel this when their digestive system "talks back"! Smoothies are most excellent for meals and or quick pick me ups ~ Juicing is excellent! We just discovered ~ fresh fruit slushies ~ old fashioned snow cones with natural fruits and juices ~ LISTEN to your Body! Talk to yourself ~ hold regular conversation ~ YOU are YOUR BFF ~ always have been and always will be!! Streamlining your Soul means You ARE in charge of this sacred space known as YOU ~ You are as DIVINE as the one that stands next to You ~ and the realization of your Awareness ~ Your innate Wisdom … there is NO need to become angry, judgmental ~ from a Soul's stance ~ Every Soul has a Story and is living that story ~ when it is time for that Soul to Awaken to the higher SourceSelf within ~ it will be according to their own Soul contract. Silence is golden ~ Silence is Sacred … Silence does not separate Blessed be each of us that have Awakened to these moments of NOW Presence ~ Blessings be to each Heart that beats within this earthly realm ~ each Soul serves a purpose ~ each Soul Sacred ~ we are ALL Children of Great Spirit ~ Earth Mother ~ the Universe Source: http://lightworkers.org/channeling/158817/soul-stream

Before you begin reading the channeling, I want to let you know that I want you to see what parts of this channeling you can see that don't feel right to you. After it, I will show you what I found. Remember to validate everything with your heart.
Few of you have any real recollection of your previous lives except perhaps for the occasional flashbacks, yet you have had so many lives full of experiences that have brought you to where you are today. It has been a long journey, and now many of you stand at the door of Ascension but you do not fully understand what a great quantum leap forward is going to take place. Be patient Dear Ones, and know that you are one of those chosen to be here at this time, and that is indeed a great privilege and experience never to be forgotten. Whilst evolution occurs much quicker in duality, it is in some ways a paradox because you see it as a slow process, Yet in this particular life time all has been speeded up, and it is only in recent times that some are awakening to the rapid rise in their consciousness levels. This is really what you came for, knowing that in some way the end time would be exciting and one of fulfilment. So we ask you to look on the bright side when things get tough, knowing that it is only a passing phase. The Golden Age beckons and once you are there, all that has preceded it will seem irrelevant and soon forgotten. You have all but completed the hard bit, and now all that awaits is to get the cleansing underway which with our help will take next to no time. You are to become the warriors of love and peace, and many lesser experienced civilisations will look to you for guidance. Life exists everywhere and there will never be a time when you will be able to claim to have seen it all, because the Creator is thinking new creations into being all of the time. Start now to think peace, and act peace wherever you are and not be distracted by anything outside of yourself. You can do it and will find it becomes easy to hold on to it regardless of what is going on around you. It becomes a way of life whereby you always experience a calmness and understanding of the Oneness that you dwell within. You will be able to let go and let God be within you, and your life will take on a new meaning. You will also be one who is helping uplift all others, and by your example they will seek the same pathway. Although we work behind the scenes and have done so for a very long time, you take much credit for the progress that has been made recently. In this you have exercised your freewill to change from the old paradigm of restrictions and control, to one that is returning you to a free society where you determine your future. That has allowed us to work alongside you, since you have called for help to remove those that have taken away your rights. Be assured you shall become completely free again, and the wrongs against you shall be put right. Indeed you shall gain more than you had before, as you are about to receive the benefits of advanced technologies to prepare you for Ascension. We stress again that you have nothing to worry about where your personal property and assets are concerned, as you will find that all of your needs will be taken care of. In fact, many shall be far better off so that your society is more united as One, where all share the benefits that are to be given to you. Your time will be able to be used to fulfil your own desires and allow you to choose exactly how you spend your time. You will be encouraged to become communities that determine their own levels of service to each other, and the higher levels of consciousness will bring out the best in people. We are working at a high level to persuade the dark Ones to finally withdraw, and allow us to help you re-structure your societies without their interference. With or without their co-operation we shall go ahead and remove their last bastions of power. It is in any event crumbling around them and becoming disjointed, and friction is taking place amongst their own ranks. Soon we shall brush them aside and leave them to their deserved fate, whilst removing all that has no place in the New Age. As we have told you previously we are your future and will not disappear after Ascension, but will participate even more with you to further the changes that will continue until you are fully consciousness Beings. Then we shall become as One and you shall be full members of the Galactic Federation, and invited to work with us if that is your desire. Bear in mind it represents many different ascended civilizations, and you will find your own star family already with us. Life for you will become exciting with little or no limitations as to what you can do, and it will become most satisfying and fulfil your wildest dreams. Work or labour such as you are used to will no longer burden you, and you will find that life will become so much easier and enjoyable. God has never condemned you to an existence that continually placed you in unhappy situations, that Dear Ones has been the result of your own creations. However, now that is almost in the past and already we find so many of you are able to rise above the lower vibrations. Duality has been a very tough teacher and having experienced the loneliness of separation from the Source. You are now recognising the Oneness of all that exists, and have found God within yourself and recognise it in other souls. You look at yourselves and then look at us, and their seems to be a great difference between us, yet there is little beyond the fact that we have already reached a level of full consciousness which are soon to reach yourselves. There was a time in the very distant past when you were like us, but allowed yourselves to drop into the lower vibrations to fully experience its challenges. So, in fact you are really no stranger to the higher dimensions, which is why you will take so easily to the coming changes. What is about to occur on Earth now is just the beginning, and if you are alert you will note that events are shaping up for a grand finale. You shall not be denied the spectacle of seeing the top members of the Illuminati being brought to justice. The plans are in place and the means to proceed are available to our allies. Wait a little longer, and you shall enjoy the final days of those who have abused your civilization. I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and feel the joy that is growing amongst you, as you see the proof of the advancements we have made. All will end as we have long informed you, and after all who amongst you who is mortal can defy the word of God. Like many other sources we are sending immense amounts of love to you, and it will power you onwards to victory. Thank you SaLuSa. Mike Quinsey.

I just read a message channeled from SaLuSa and I wanted to share it with you. It sounds great and makes me feel like this field trip is finally over. I seriously hope that the successes here as well as the failures will be used in a way that can be helpful to working with people in a way to enlighten everyone everywhere, but not used in a way that results in another of these types of worlds. Chaos is definitely not fun and there needs to be a lot more love in a world to make it enjoyable. Yes people are doing well now, but the freedom on the surface of Earth is very minimal in many ways because the experiment allowed the dark ones to express their free will here as well. If it was a free will via love at least to some degree, not just having the element of love in it, but full on service to others to some degree, then it could be useable in another world like this. I don't like the pains and lack of freedom here and most people don't like it either. Now that the ascension is taking place, its going to have that base element of service to others, but I seriously wouldn't wish a world with this degree of pain in it on anyone. I mean, there are people being raped, tortured, murdered, stolen from, animals being ruined as well and people and animals being experimented on, cures to things being withheld, etc. This world is DEFINITELY not for the sensitive. Its quite painful when you experience the toughest energies. I mean, even nuclear weapons were allowed to be created. I think they might have noticed it wasn't a good idea to keep allowing that to go on, so they started having people come in and deactivate them, but good god! Of all the atrocious... You can experience love here and spend time with those whom you care about and give someone a massage and spiritually heal them as well. You can make someone laugh and smile and you can feel the warm breeze caress your face as you walk barefoot down the beach into a a beautiful forest enchanted with fireflies. So, yes there is beauty in this world as well, but the pain takes away much of the pleasure here and I seriously hope that when I get to tell my story to the council/GFL/etc. Whomever is in charge of this mission, that they SERIOUSLY here my request to not allow such painful extents to be allowed in an experiment again. Yes I know everyone came here willingly including myself, but I also know that much of the time I go into things and don't truly understand the pain that can ensue until it does if it does. It hurts me that this was allowed to happen and I hope its just a way to see how much people can handle so that we can work with other races throughout the universe, in a more productive fashion.
Hello, lightworkers. This is SaLuSa connecting to you through a close friend. I have been so happy to witness Ikao's awakening, from afar. He has had very rapid success, and is now ready to go into heavy detail about many things confusing humans on the surface of Gaia. I will start by announcing that we will be having mass reunions, soon. Many humans on the surface of Gaia have had a full remembering of their life outside of earth, in the eternal. This means, a wave of remembering is soon to sweep across the whole planet. Not a single soul will be free of this remembering. It is mandatory. That being said, if you find the truth truly unbearable, the appropriate measures will be taken to preserve your wellbeing, both physically and emotionally. In the coming weeks, many events are to take place. Firstly, the arrests. You have heard oh so much about these arrests, and many of you doubt them. Why? There is no valid reason to doubt it anymore. Not only have there been record numbers of resignations in the higher decrees of the American financial field, but the paperwork is available for everybody to read. The plan itself is held solely within the higher densities, and it is impossible for any one person to know all of it. Because of this careful practice, this plan absolutely cannot fail. The plan is written into the structure that is your current reality complex. Be at ease, gentle souls, there is nothing more to fear. There never was, but you were to experience existence as if there was, to see what it would be like. How was it? What did you learn? What would you do differently? these are tiny fragments of concepts towards what you will have learned upon the finally of this wondrous experiment. When you finally realize what reality truly is, you will be so happy to have your body. You will see. To have such direct control over matter is such a beautiful gift. The difference between this life, and every other life you have ever had upon earth, is you will be bringing your material body back with you, to the higher densities. You will be returning the matter to light. Now, this MUST occur. Your body is not entirely of you. Your body is comprised of a very small fragment of Gaia's body. Gaia is ready to snap up into the higher densities, but your society is still so behind. That is perfectly okay. We have the pleasure and delight to finally be able to say that not even one single entity upon the earth is off track. Everybody, just keep doing what you are doing, with more and more love and light in your heart. Get ready for a monstrous quantum leap like you have absolutely never experienced. Nobody has ever experienced this. Never forget how truly amazing you each are. What is going on on earth is unbelievably difficult. There are so many beings out there, who truly believed this would be a catastrophic failure. Not only has that been shattered, but your complete successes are so impressive, that entirely separate, unrelated universes are watching with a careful eye. So much has been learned from this experience, that not one single field of action will be unaffected by the information acquired. Consider yourselves the most successful beings in the 3rd density, because you have all done so incalculably well. To do such a task, only the mightiest of the 'big guns' stepped up for the roll. That, folks, is all of you. Before long, you will each see you for who you truly are, and WHERE the lightships are in the sky. Don't think of petty flying saucers, those are shown in that form to show off, and not much more. We exist predominantly where the mind is. Out of location all together. Pat yourself on the back, and truly love yourself, for you have done more for this universe than anybody thought possible. I will never be able to fully express how impressed with Humanity I am, and all of the Sirius Nation smiles in sheer awe of your actions. Congratulations, and we will be shortly welcoming all of you on an individual basis, to the Universal community. This has been SaLuSa through Ikao, and I am absolutely astounded by each and every one of you. I love you all so very much. Source: http://lightworkers.org/node/157804

Hahaha me and my brother would often talk about going to see the Head Honcho when this experiment is over, to complain about the dark life we somehow got suckered into experiencing. We would laugh because the Head Honcho would turn around and we would be looking at our selfs LOL . . . thinking this way keeps me hanging on for what awaits us soon :) Love an Light
I'm new to the concept of lucid dniamerg, and I have a new blog where I invite people to share their dreams. If you don't mind, I'd like to link to your site and perhaps include a few excerpts from you, attributed, of course.Would that be okay?Thanks so much!Twitter: @napstealers
I had been wondering for some time now what would happen when people ascend and they're up high on a building that will not exist in 5D. I decided last night to channel an Arcturian to ask him about this and he said showed me a funnel. The building's energy will be turned into a funnel that will allow people to safely glide down to the ground.

Here is a lot of good information on ascension and more from Toisheeba of Arrakas. She's explains much and also talks about many of the things I've been teaching you. I only saw a couple places that seemed awkward, but the rest of it seems spot on. The parts of the channeling I thought were kind of off were that she said that everyone will ascend even if they don't want to. That isn't necessary as if you're not ready for ascension and you're here to just expedite your ascension in the future or something, you still have the option to transition out of the body you're in now and incarnate as a different species elsewhere that could be useful to you. In the answers to the audience's questions, she says that there's no guarantee that we will have as large of a population as there is now because some may choose to transition through death to leave 5D. So, I'm guessing she's saying that the shift will happen no matter what, but in the end people may choose to leave via death. That sounds legit. I mean, they could still leave before the shift like the many who die every day, but I can see it as plausible that they would only be able to handle the energy until a certain point at which they leave. Also, in the end she says that they will land in Sweden because Sweden is the most spiritually evolved place on the surface world of Earth. However, the channeling was channeled in Sweden , so I'm not sure if this is something to do with an ego trip or if its legit. I've never been to Sweden or every place in the world, so I don't know every nation's spiritual average. I can't get a lock on it to validate it or not, but it seems a bit off to me. I doubt the USA is actually the most spiritually evolved, but I would think maybe some tribal people or some place where people are more in touch with Gaia would be the most evolved. Its a great read other than that, though. I can validate most of what I read. There may be some unintentional or intentional misinformation in there, but use your own heart to discern this. Toisheeba of Arrakas Channeling Oh, and in the end it gives a Mother Earth-Healing guide. I had an alternative method you can use as well if you'd like. You just focus on Mother Earth's energy coming up from her through your feet and through your body in a tube and feel it flow through you. You'll feel like you're in a soothing pool of water where you feel gentle waves all around you. You might experience something different, but everyone I talk to about this has felt what I described. It feels really good and really relaxing. Enjoy!

Greetings, I have heard those that are not ready to ascend (due to a lower frequency/bad Karma) will stay on 3D Earth until the next ascension happens. Those ascending to 5D will go to an entirely new earth, maybe the same earth but at a higher frequency. But If we all ascend, those that are not ready or have no knowledge of whats happening will get a rude awakening LOL . . . we all will instantly remember who we really are as our higher selfs, as past memories and knowledge should be restored to us.
With every little thing that seems to be budniilg throughout this specific subject matter, many of your opinions tend to be fairly stimulating. Even so, I am sorry, but I do not give credence to your entire plan, all be it refreshing none the less. It seems to everyone that your opinions are actually not completely justified and in simple fact you are generally your self not even entirely certain of the assertion. In any case I did take pleasure in reading it.

Rick Cavallaro must have thick skin. For more than four years he has been bombarded by naysayers who have ridiculed him and his work.
It all started when the software and hardware developer proposed a design for an unlikely-sounding, wind-powered car that he said would be able to travel faster than the wind blowing directly behind it.
Despite others having proposed similar ideas, skeptics immediately labeled it a hoax, putting it in the same category as perpetual motion machines. It defied physics, they said, and claimed Cavallaro was a charlatan. Searching through comments on any article that dared mention the design and you will find post after post that is openly hostile. Even respected bloggers and magazines waded in with some branding him a "bozo".
"They have this problem that their intuition tells them that it's not possible, because once there's no wind over the vehicle [when it is travelling at wind speed] it can't harness any energy from the wind" says Cavallaro. The vehemence of the response was a shock to him.
"The thing that was most surprising to me was how much even professional engineers and scientists will not only rely on their intuition, but accept their intuition over a straightforward rigorous analysis, and real world proof."
But, Cavallaro remained undeterred, and with the backing of large firms – including Google – he built his machine. The result is Blackbird – a ground-hugging, three-wheeled racing car with what essentially looks like a 5m- (14ft-) high wind turbine stuck on the back. Over the last two years he has refined the design and in a series of tests has shown that it can not only run downwind faster than the wind, but it can run upwind too.
"The reason I think that most people find it counter-intuitive is that you get to a point going downwind, when you are going at exactly the same speed as the wind" says Cavallaro. To go faster, the machine would have to somehow pull ahead of the wind that's pushing it. And, as most sailors know, that's not possible... at least in a boat.
But by using a propeller instead of a conventional sail, Blackbird is able to overcome this limit. "We didn't invent or discover any new physics, we just have a clever way of exploiting some basic physics," he says.
Although the whole thing sounds counterintuitive, the set-up is relatively simple.
On the back of the car are two propeller blades. Although many people assume these are turned directly by the wind, they are not. Instead they are connected to the rear wheels by a long bicycle chain that runs through a transmission. As the wheels move, the propeller turns, creating thrust. This moves the vehicle forwards just like the propeller on a plane. The faster the wheels move, the faster the propeller turns. And, unlike a sailing boat, the speed is not limited by the trailing wind speed.
'Humble pie'
So getting going in the first place might seem like a chicken and egg problem. Which comes first, the wheels turning or the prop turning? Cavallaro says that is not an issue. He has some control over the pitch of the blades, and by flattening them at the start, the car gets the push that it needs.
This can lead to slightly surreal images. As the car begins to accelerate, streamers attached to the vehicle blow over the cockpit with the direction of the wind. As the car approaches the same speed as the gusts, the streamers momentarily drop before suddenly popping out in the opposite direction – trailing behind the car.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear arguments from three former University of Southern Mississippi soccer coaches who alleged sexual harassment and sexual discrimination.

Click here to vote….hugs!
Title: Poked, Liked & Re-Tweeted: A Google Love Story
Organizer : Alisa Leonard, iCrossing
For too long SEO and social pundits have battled it out – "social media creates links and visibility in search!" ….."social is about conversation and engagement, screw search!" Will there ever be a true synergy between these two? The engines certainly think so and now more than ever search really does need social and social impacts search more than ever. How? Why? How do you do it, and do it right, without violating the tenants of engagement and the almighty Conversation? Alisa Leonard and Rob Garner of iCrossing present a compelling narrative and case studies that illustrate just how the long awaited synergy between search and social is real and how it can be leveraged to drive performance and results. For real this time, we promise.
Questions Answered
- How has search changed and why does it matter?
- Why does social matters for search more than ever?
- How do you actually use social to impact search — beyond spreading links?
- What's an example of how you measure success? (Billboard case study)
- What changes are coming that creators need to be prepared for?

After seven years of giving professional readings, I've observed that there are exactly three kinds of clients who ask questions regarding soul mates or romantic partnerships:
- Those who are single and dissatisfied and want to know how and when to acquire a romantic partnership.
- Those who are already partnered/ married, deeply dissatisfied or distressed.
- Those who are partnered to one person and pining away for another (an actual person or an ideal).
Then there are the clients who book readings to ask about other concerns:
- Those who are partnered, happy, and working on another area of their lives.
- Those who are single, happy, and working on another area of their lives.
So, a Theory:
If unhappy single people need guidance meeting someone, and if unhappy coupled people need guidance breaking up, then I must deduce the following:
- The "happiness factor" in our lives is entirely based on internal perspective.
- The "happiness factor" in our lives is independent of romantic status.
Did you get that?
A boyfriend will not "complete" you; and "getting a girlfriend" is the worst kind of substitute for "getting a life."
The Other Kind of Passion
The elusive missing component to your sense of fulfillment, sense of joy, and sense of purpose in life is found in an entirely different area. It has little (potentially nothing) to do with whether or not anyone wants to date you.
The simple joys are found in numerous, humble external circumstances (easily accessible by most people, excluding obvious extreme hardship and tragedy) or the sense of peace is found in the internal modes of attitude and choice.
A Common Thread
The good news is that the "fix" for dissatisfaction is usually a single, universal pursuit that affects all facets of the life you're creating. The fix is unique from one person to the next, but there's a common thread within the life of every individual.
If you do indeed have a soul mate that you are destined to meet, that individual most likely waits for you within the vicinity of your sense of purpose, or within the realm of another humbler, simpler pursuit of happiness. A shared hobby. A common interest.
There's one passion you can focus on that transforms all areas of your life simultaneously.
Deep down, you already know what that passion is. As you're reading this, you have flashes of this knowledge — that goal you know you must achieve… that thing for which you feel you were put on this earth…
Go back to doing that — love will find you there.
If you do not know what that passion is for you, talk to me.

A Sunday story about AmeriBolt recounted the 12-year history of a machine shop that moved from Childersburg to Sylacauga for additional space, and then from Sylacauga to Sycamore because the business just kept growing.
That's encouraging any time, doubly so in a recession, and even more at a time when free trade policies have made it so easy for corporations to export jobs to other countries.
Mike Jones and Dawson Pruett attended high school together, and are co-owners of the business. They've focused on finding new ways to serve their customers and watched their business grow, and they are finding that more people are looking for opportunities to buy American-made products.

Hi there. I was wondering what type of soil ya'll use for starting seeds indoors. I always use the "Seed Starter Soil" they sell for that purpose. I ran out of that soil and will probably buy more when it's time to plant seeds. I was curious about "sterilizing soil" yourself, like in the oven. I have read about that, but have never done it. I was wondering if anyone else has ever 'baked soil in the oven' to sterilize it and if it was effective in germinating seeds? I have a couple of opened bags of potting soil, so it isn't 'sterile' any more. I was wondering if I should try and sterilize it myself!?! THANKS!! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | |||
Whatever you do don't try to sterilize soil by placing in your oven...the odors emanating will drive your family out into the cold, cold air. Most seed mixes nowadays are a combo of peat moss, which is for moisture retention, vermiculite for good drainage, and a little perlite for food. it is widely available at any nursery or garden supply---probably at your local hardware store as well. Before starting, read about the particular needs of the specific seed you are starting. There's a best time involved and also the temperature of the soil. Read also about how to fend off mildew and rot which is always a threat to just beginning seedlings. | ||||
Open bags of potting soil have worked just fine for me, anyway. Because...I buy really big bags, so they have been open and folded over in storage for a 2-3 years before I actually finish off a bag. | ||||
I use the sterilized 'seed starter mix' a lot, too. But when I run out, just plain potting soil will work. After all, when we plant seeds in the garden, we just toss them down in a hole. Not sterilized. I wouldn't even try to sterilize soil in my own oven. It's a horrible smell & I don't think it would even be worth the bother. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live animals as hats." | ||||
All of the commercial seed starting soil mixes are really soilless and are mostly peat moss and either perlite or vermiculite or coir or sometimes finely shrerdded bark, in other words about the same as most potting soils. These should be sterile so you would not need to sterilize them. If you were to dig up some soil from your garden for seed starting then you probably should think about sterilizing that, but few people recommend using garden soil for seed starting today. I have used the compost I make for seed starting for several years now with very good results, although there are many people that report having problems with damping off when they do that. But then people that buy seed starting "soils" from a store also have problems with damping off which is the result of maintaing that "soil" much too wet. The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
I use compost mixed with vermiculite to start all my seeds. Works fine for me. I use a ratio of about 4 parts compost to 1 part vermiculite, although I don't usually measure it, I just do it by site. -Dottie ------------------------------------ "Conservation is humanity caring for the future". - Nancy Newhall See pictures of my gardens and crafts at www.gardensandcrafts.com | ||||
Every spring I just buy a bale of Sunshine Mix #4 and use it for starting seeds, rooting cuttings, as well as containers. I only ever tried to sterilize soil in my oven and the smell was so bad I'll never do that again. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
Thank you everyone! I will just continue to buy the "Seed Starter Mix". I always have success with that. The reason I asked is because I planted apple seeds in this 'potting soil' about 6 weeks ago, and still nothing. Soooo, yesterday to test this soil further, I planted other random seeds: Lavender, Petunia & Wild Flower. I'm just curious to see if these new seeds will germinate in this previously opened bag of soil. I really get so stir-crazy it's hard for me NOT to plant something!!! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
The seeds from Apples need a fairly long period of cold stratification to germinate, ie. held at temperatures below 40 degrees for several weeks. http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc...owthread.php?t=32535 The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||
In an effort to start my 'Winter Sowing' early, I just tossed a variety of about 3 dozen seeds into my raised garden bed. I am really curious to see if they will do well via 'winter sowing'! I tossed in about 2 dozen apple seeds, along with other random seeds: Morning Glory, Sunflower, petunia and those hard beans I stole from an opened bag in the supermarket, just to plant a few different beans. (In previous years, I got a great plant from kidney beans!!!) SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
I know! I once planted apple seeds directly into potting soil, and it germinated!! It took a while, but I got a few to grow. I also have about 8 seeds in a paper towel in the FRIG. since 10/21!! STILL NOTHING GROWING! I REALLY want to grow an apple tree 'plant'!! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
Wavy, here is a step-by-step on sprouting the apple seeds. But I've never gotten any thing to sprout in the fridge...I keep them cold the recommended amount of time & then plant them in pots. I get so-so germination that way. As for seed starting soil...I use plain old potting soil. I've never had a major problem using it for either seeds or cuttings. My problem has generally been taking cuttings at the wrong time or old seeds that have been exposed to light/heat/cold. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
Remember, seedlings need air circulation. If you provide lite air circulation, you will not get damping off like Kim SR mentioned. | ||||
Circulating air over the seed bed will reduce the moisture level of that media which will reduce the chance of damping off occuring. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn74132.html The sign of a good gardener is not a green thumb, it is brown knees. | ||||

Yep. That's the place ^^^^^ it's about 2hrs from San Jose area. I'll be back there again on the 27th - for the next two weeks they're planting just roosters - they have 14,000 roosters and need to get them down to a manageable number to avoid them killing each other. So, if you're gonna go, do it within the next week or so.Here is a link for the directions.http://www.quailpoin...ions/index.html

Posted 20 December 2006 - 01:01 PM
well, I haven't officially committed to the 27th - 26th may work as well, but since this is the first time my daughter will be shooting at birds I though I'd do it with just her to avoid any unnecessary injuries to others in the party (j/k) --- they have a trap range there at the club house too, so I think I'll get her stated there, then head to the field if her shoulder isn't killing her by that time :)If you make it there on the 26th, have a great time!27th huh? too bad, cuz I work on Weds and think I may go the day after Xmas. I'm going to be up in Petaluma for Xmas with the family, and it would be a lot closer (I think) to leave Petaluma Tues morning and head out there. Anyways, thanks for the link, and good luck!

Shabby Chic Interiors: My Rooms, Treasures, and Trinkets is a new edition of a title published first in 2009 by Rachel Ashwell, a designer with all the moves. She is a serial home dweller whose philosophy is "wherever I am, I make my nest, even in a rented home or hotel." And of course, each move provides fodder for a new book. I have the theory that, when it comes to home decorating, doing it is more fun than having it. (I could certainly be accused of this myself.) And it's easy to see that Ashwell loves the process.
The book takes you to her latest house purchase that occurred when her nest emptied. You have to get past the line that says, "So I then I began the curious mission of "unrestoring"; heaving out brand-new cabinets and deluxe whirlpool baths until I got back to the authentic and real."
You got it. She ripped out all the improvements recently made by the previous owner who also wasn't happy with them and so moved along. The sleek new kitchen cabinets made way for ones that are wonky and worn. And she tells you that her construction team cheered her on.
Don't get me wrong. I like the pretty rooms she creates and the homes of others that she takes you to. Some of them, like the Milches' house in the chapter "Dogs, Art & Literature", might be properly labeled authentic.
This is one very stylish woman who has made a career out of being a very stylish woman. I'm just hoping that her style inspires you to live and work well with the comfortable old things you already own or discover.
On the other hand, you could just enjoy the pictures without reading the text and then you won't have to think of it all as cultural commentary.
- Jane

For Marsha Gordon, Columbus
Makes 16 to 20 servings
I have used this many times. It is a nice substitute for the chocolate version. I have used vanilla in place of the almond extract — it's just as good.
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup water
2 cups flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup milk
4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
To make cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 15-by-10-inch jelly roll pan.
In a large saucepan, bring butter and water to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream, almond extract, salt and soda until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes.
To make the frosting: Combine butter and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and almond extract. Mix well. Stir in nuts if desired.
Spread frosting over warm cake.

UPDATE 2:15PM CDT…The National Weather Service has upgraded the Winter Weather Advisory to a Winter Weather Warning for Iroquois, and Ford counties in Illinois and Newton, Benton, Jasper counties in Indiana – including the following cities, Watseka, Paxton, Morocco, Rensselaer, and Fowler.
Five to eight inches of new snow is expected over these counties between 6PM CDT this evening and noon CST Saturday. These counties are included in a much larger Winter Warning area shaded in pink on the National Watch/Warning map below that covers much of central and northern Indiana and northwest Ohio.
The Chicago National Weather Service Forecast Office has updated the Winter Weather Advisory for later today, tonight and Saturday to include Cook County/Chicago. Thus the portion of the Chicago area south of Interstate-80 and Cook County is under a Winter Weather Advisory for 4 to 6-inches of snow generally from 6PM this evening and tonight through Saturday afternoon. Over the remainder of the Chicago area and northeast Illinois snowfall will gradually taper off as you go north to the Illinois-Wisconsin state line (see blowup of NE Illinois map below).
Much of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Lower Michigan and Ohio into Pennsylvania is under the Winter Weather Advisory, as shown on the U.S. map below. A center of low pressure is forecast to move east-northeast out of the Texas Panhandle today with southerly winds opening up the flow of Gulf of Mexico moisture into the developing system.
Freezing rain, sleet and eventually snow is expected to begin over southern Missouri today with rain to the south. As the storm approaches Illinois, snow will form and spread across northern Missouri and southern Illinois – working its way north into the area along and south of Interstate-80 later this afternoon and early evening – eventually covering all of northeast Illinois tonight. . Low pressure will move through southern Illinois Saturday and track off to the east.
Northeast flow on the north side of the storm could prolong snowfall in Chicago by enhancing the impact of lake-effect snow. To the north along the Wisconsin Lake Michigan shoreline and inland a Lake Effect Snow Watch is in effect for 3 to 5 inches of snow with greater amounts along the immediate shoreline possible.

During a press conference announcing Utah's Clear the Air Challenge Governor Gary Herbert said, "We all wish it would go away but it's not going to happen by wishing."
Utah is one of the worst in the nation when it comes to air quality standards, and believe it or not, 60 percent of the problem is coming out of our tailpipes.
"We all have a responsibility for the air we breathe," said Gov. Herbert. "It's not just Kennecott; it's not just the refineries it's them and other commercial sites, other industrial sites and we as private citizens driving our automobiles."
The Clear the Air Challenge was created five years ago to challenge Utah drivers to reduce vehicle emissions by choosing alternatives to driving alone.
Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams said, "Choosing not to start your car one day a week will not seem very powerful, but consider this, if all workers in Salt Lake County avoided using their car just one day a week 700 tons of emissions would be eliminated from our air each year."
Over the last four years, the participants of the Clear the Air Challenge has saved 5.2 million vehicle miles and over 7.5 million pounds of emissions. This year they hope to save even more with new programs launched this year including UTA's Ride Clear passes which allow commuters to ride 7 days for free during the month of July.
UTA's General Manager Michael Allegra said, "We have 1500 more free passes we're offering out today to anyone who goes on and signs up."
This year's challenge participants also have Salt Lake's first ever bike sharing program to help them reach their goal.
Director of Salt Lake City's Green Bikes Ben Bolte said, "I think it's going to help a lot. I think it's going to be a catalyst for a lot of people."
So get on a bike, get on the bus, a train or car pool to work, because like the old adage goes, if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem.
If you'd like to sign up for the challenge log on to: http://cleartheairchallenge.org/

The jeer: My husband has been going to the Veterans Administration Medical Center. He has a torn meniscus and ACL. He has been trying to get surgery set up for his knee.
When he finally was able to see orthopaedics in November, they did an MRI, which showed the problem, so he was set for surgery on Nov. 19. At that time he showed an infection, so he couldn't have the surgery. He was to be checked in two weeks, and three weeks later it had not been done. It breaks my heart to see him in so much pain. He was a loyal soldier for 17 years until he was hurt. He was and is loyal to his country, so why aren't the caregivers loyal to our vets?
- Electa Carmoney, Fayetteville
About Carmoney: Carmoney said her husband, Timothy Carmoney, is 54 years old and considered 100 percent disabled.
"He's walking with a cane and has a brace on his knee," Carmoney said. "He can hardly get around. It's heartbreaking to see him the way he is."
The other side of the jeer: Elizabeth Goolsby, director of the VA Medical Center, responded by email. She said that because of health privacy laws, she could not comment on Carmoney's case, but she encouraged him to call her to discuss his concerns.
"It is the intent of the medical center to provide timely, appropriate care to and for all of our veterans," Goolsby said.

AT&T WATSON(SM) Voice Recognition Technology & Speech API
AT&T WATSONSM is a general-purpose engine that performs a variety of speech and analysis tasks, including automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding (which includes machine learning), and dialog management tasks. WATSON also integrates AT&T Labs Natural Voices® text-to-speech conversion.
WATSON has been used within AT&T for IVR customers, including AT&T's VoiceTone® service, for over 20 years during which time the ASR algorithms, tools, and plug-in architecture have been refined to increase accuracy, convenience, and integration. Besides customer care IVR, AT&T WATSON has been used for speech analytics, speech translation (including the AT&T Translator app), mobile voice search of multimedia data, video search, voice remote, and voice mail to text. AT&T WATSON also supports Speak4it (local business search).
In June, APIs for AT&T WATSON speech recognition will be made available to developers who want to add voice recognition and transcription to their applications and merge voice recognition with applications, information databases, or specialized software that communicates with devices such as remote, video recorders.
The first APIs will support web search, local business search, Q&A, voice mail to text, SMS, AT&T's U-verse video programming guide, and a general-purpose dictation API, while providing vocabularies and language models focused on specific tasks. Also provided will be the Speech Kit SDK so developers can create software that captures spoken words and sends them into a network for transcription.

In January, U.S. State Department spokesman Darby Holladay added that Iran violated "the universal right of freedom of religion."
At trial, the pastor appeared with his attorney in a Revolutionary Guard Court to address charges of attempting to undermine the Iranian government, but his attorney apparently was shut out of some proceedings.
The group contends that charges stem from Abedini's conversion to Christianity from Islam 13 years ago and his activities with home churches in Iran.
The judge in the case has faced sanctions by the European Union "because of his harsh sentences for those on trial for exercising a fundamental human right," the center said.
Naghmeh Abedini has previously said that a few laymen with the Christian church in Iran told her husband's attorney that they had been called to testify in the case.
In January, the Iranian state-run news agency ISNA reported that the pastor would soon be released on bail, which Naghmeh Abedini said at the time was "clearly a lie."
His wife has said he felt that it was safe to go back repeatedly because he had had no dealings with the authorities since he promised to stop working with Christian home services.
Once he even went with his wife and two children. His wife is also a convert to Christianity from Islam, and they received threats during the most recent family visit, so she took the children home. He returned to their home in Idaho later.
Last summer, the pastor was on a bus that was crossing from Turkey into Iran. Immigration officials took away his passport and he was later put under house arrest.
