Our perception on our arrival for our four night stay at this hotel was immediately enriched by the hotel's front door staff's very warm welcome, seamless and fast early check in coupled with a very generous upgrade to a glorious top floor suite.
A special thank you to Antonella who introduced herself and greeted us at check in and made us feel truly privileged guests.
Service was generally superb with a "prego" and smile from the restaurants to housekeeping. Particularly and consistently impressive was the front desk staff and the valet parking from our arrival and during the frequent use of the rental car throughout our entire stay.
The hotel is for its early 1960's construction understandably a tad dated but is still uniquely quaint yet chic and very well maintained and furnished.
Shortly after check in, we took advantage of the pool area which is adequate without being opulent. Staff on board were mostly prompt in assisting with the set up of lounges which were plentiful and supplying of towels. The ambiance of the pool area however compromised by being alongside a long row of gym equipment being used outside on the pool terrace. A couple of lux touches missing also were the supplying of water and the offering of a second towel.
Taking advantage of the complimentary shuttle boat to the hotel's private beach is just plain good fun as a journey in itself and should not be missed albeit as other reviewers have noted the facilities at the beach are limited
Our room was of a high standard but was missing again a couple of 'better' hotel finishing touches. For example our lovely suite had only standard Sheraton bathroom amenities and despite having multiple fridges and mini bar had no wine glasses! As usual with Italian hotels, no kettles, coffee machines or irons are available.
Agostino is a real star at breakfast and a great asset to the hotel (with rumours of him having been the last head waiter to Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed untested) although some of the younger support staff are not quite as charming or service orientated. The offerings at breakfast are a little short but nonetheless more than reasonable. The adding of a glass of Proseco would be a great initiative.
Porto Cervo is obviously an expensive travel destination (which would give Monte Carlo and Geneva a fair run) and this will inevitably impact on your stay especially if you always dine or drink at the nearby bars and restaurants or in the hotel.
One last tip is a must being to hire a car and avoid being held to ransom by the exorbitant taxi prices and to allow you the opportunity to explore including dining at the many great restaurants outside the immediate Porto Cervo area.

Traffic may be flowing through the Highway 104 bypass around Antigonish, but the legal wrangling between the province and businesses seeking compensation continues.
According to Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal spokesman Brian Taylor, the province has spent about $30 million on land acquisition, compensation to businesses for lost traffic, legal and appraisal costs to clear the way for the 15 km bypass.
But that doesn't include pending claims.
After the province filed an appeal on Aug. 23 to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board ruling that it pay $8.2 million to S&D Smith Central Supplies, the company filed a cross-appeal seeking a bigger payout.
"We only filed the cross appeal because they appealed," said Bruce MacIntosh, attorney for S&D Smith, on Friday.
"We made that clear to the province."
The dispute is over a 20-acre property in Lower South River, Antigonish County, on which company owner Steve Smith claimed he had intended to expand his business. He said those plans were thwarted by the way the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal handled land acquisition for the highway expansion.
The Utility and Review Board disagreed with the province's argument that there wasn't sufficient proof Smith was actually planning on expanding the Lower South River property, in its spring ruling.
Both parties will appear before the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal on Thursday to set a hearing date.
Meanwhile, a handful of other businesses and property owners that claim to have been adversely affected by the replacing of the old highway are still seeking money.
Ernest Curry, owner of The Claymore Inn & Suites, is seeking $2.6 million for lost business and property devaluation.
Eileen Curry, owner of the Justamere Café which is attached to The Claymore, is seeking $303,881 for reduced business and property value
The owners of Pleasant Valley Nurseries, Phyllis Baker and Henri Steeghs, are seeking $258,900 for the devaluing of their property and business losses.
Elaine Rhynold and Gerard Mason, owners of the Down to Earth Art Gallery on Main St. in Antigonish, are seeking $226,000 for lost business.
Parkhurst Developments Ltd, which lists Mary Hurst of Antigonish as its director on the joint stock registry, is seeking $172,440 on top of the $87,750 it already received from the province for the expropriation of property on Lower West River Road.
Roseanne MacEachern, owner of Dream Catcher's Café and Treats Ltd. is seeking $210,000 for lost business.
"The proof is in the pudding," said MacEachern, pointing to an audit that showed traffic to Antigonish's Visitor Information Centre dropped from about 12,000 in 2011 to under 5,000 people the year the highway expansion opened.
"I lost my business because of that," said MacEachern of the restaurant she ran at the time in the Antigonish Market Square shopping mall, adjacent to the visitor centre.
According to a letter filed with the Utility and Review board, a meeting was held Wednesday with lawyers representing five of the above business people and the province. Dates were set for filings of evidence, testimony and reports that will precede the public hearing on March 19.

The initial poster and trailer for March's "Better Living Through Chemistry" premiered this week, but it's not the first time co-writers and directors Geoff Moore and David Posamentier have seen their debut feature in the news. Back in 2010, "Better Living Through Chemistry" was a frequent fixture in the Hollywood trades, thanks to the fact that Jeremy Renner, fresh off his Best Actor nomination for "The Hurt Locker," and Jennifer Garner were cast in the leading roles.
"We came out of the gate real quick. We were so overwhelmed to the responses to the script, and it was more than we could ever have imagined," Posamentier told HuffPost Entertainment in a recent interview. "People really were responding positively. We got the cash immediately. There was a moment where we thought we would shoot four months after we read the script."
Added Moore: "It was going to be the fastest independent movie of all time."
Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Renner, besieged with offers, would eventually leave "Better Living Through Chemistry" because of a busy schedule that included "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" and "The Bourne Legacy"; Garner soon followed him out the door.
"Jeremy, who we loved, became a humongous star at the best and worst time," Moore said of the casting setbacks. "We were at a hotel bar in Baltimore where we looked at each other and said, 'All right, we'll go back to L.A. and regroup and lick our wounds and give it one more try.' The way financing comes in is based on the foreign sales model. People start pitching you names that might get you money for the movie, but it's not the movie you want to make. We said we would give it one more whirl to get a cast together. If it happens, it happens; if not, we'll just pick up the pieces and move on to the next project. We didn't want to compromise in terms of the cast."
On the strength of the script, they didn't have to: Sam Rockwell replaced Renner as the film's lead character, a small-town pharmacist who shakes up his boring life by starting an affair with a local trophy wife. That role, which Garner had filled, went to Olivia Wilde. Michelle Monaghan stars as well, in the role of Rockwell's onscreen wife, while Ray Liotta, Ben Schwartz and Jane Fonda fleshed out the cast in supporting roles.
"Our outlook the whole time has been the cast we end up with is going to be that cast for a reason, and those are going to be the best ones for a reason," Posamentier said. "We really believe we got the best people."
Unlike many screenwriting duos, Moore and Posamentier weren't college roommates and didn't grow up together. They both worked in the film industry at different production companies and only met because of mutual friends.
"They were like, 'You like the same movies and have the same sense of humor,'" Moore recalled. "The first time we sat down and started talking about things, we realized that for various reasons, we were looking for a new challenge and writing was one of them."
To see how they'd work as collaborators, the pair wrote a script called "Veteran's Day." It was never made into a film, but the screenplay put them on the map. "We never made a single dollar off that script directly, but it got us an agent and our first assignment. We were able to quit our jobs. That was 10 years ago," Moore said.
Fluent in a wide variety of genres, Moore and Posamentier said that they were inspired to write "Better Living Through Chemistry," in part, by the films of Joel and Ethan Coen, Alexander Payne and even Sidney Lumet. "We always talk about 'The Verdict,' even though it is so outside the realm of the movie," Posamentier said. "It's a movie that we love in terms of the craft."
About that craft: according to the directors, the four-year delay was actually beneficial to the end result of the film. "Because of all the false starts, it was like we went through prep for three times. For a first-time director it was super frustrating as the movie was falling apart, but you're also getting triple preparation for the movie," Moore said. "When the day comes to shoot, you can do it in your sleep. It's like being an astronaut. They strap you into a rocket, you're ready to go. Then they call off the launch. You know the procedure because you were ready for the launch."
With "Better Living Through Chemistry" so close to arriving in theaters, what did Moore and Posamentier learn from the lengthy process?
"We have friends who are writers who get a shot to direct a movie, and they come back and go, 'Oh my goodness, that was just awful. I'm happy to sit at my computer and write my screenplays. I won't do that again,'" Moore said. "We came back from Maryland and started cutting the movie and were like, 'Wow, that was awesome. When can we do it again?'"

7 simple ways to fail at agile
"Success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan" is a saying frequently cited by contemplative business leaders. Yet when it comes to failed agile initiatives, the old bromide might be updated to state: "Success is a team effort, while failure is simply everybody's fault."
No new agile program aims for failure. Yet poor planning by an unprepared and ill-informed team that fixes its sights on unrealistic goals will usually doom a project from the very start.
Want to ensure that your agile initiative will collapse into a heap of twisted hopes and dreams? Well, here are seven simple steps to help you get started:
1. Plan loosely and chaotically
One of the great myths surrounding agile is that planning and structure aren't essential. Yet that's simply not true. "Agile is not an excuse for chaos or no management," says Alan Zucker, founding principal of Project Management Essentials, a firm that provides project management and agile services.
"Planning is essentially your execution strategy," notes Umair Aziz, chief innovation and technology officer at Creative Chaos, an agile adopter that provides media production, casting and event design services. "Too often, the strategy is vague — too high-level for engineers to execute — but using a framework that can be broken down into checklists ensures alignment and provides constant reminders that keep a given project on track."
The agile release train (ART) is a basic planning tool that aligns individual teams to a common business and technology mission. "Senior management selects projects that will yield the highest cost/benefit to the company," says Rod Cortez, a senior consultant and engagement manager with technology consulting firm PSC Group. These features are then estimated by the agile teams and planned in sprints (a set period of time during which specific work has to be completed and made ready for review). "Companies that use an agile development methodology efficiently can plan features and projects three to twelve months in advance with a high percentage of success," Cortez says.
2. Form an unstable, poorly selected team
Team synergy is key to a successful agile program. "If you have people who have worked together — and understand each other's strengths and weaknesses — you have a head start versus a team of strangers," Aziz says. "If a brand-new team is being configured, bring in people who have clear interest and passion in what you are doing."
HR and legacy team structures can be a tricky issue to navigate, but dependencies between teams are the ultimate agility killer, says Steve Elliott, CEO of AgileCraft, an agile management platform vendor. "There are dozens of ways to align teams and break down work to reduce dependencies, and it's worth the effort up front to minimize team to team dependences," he notes. "Strategic application lifecycle management (ALM) tools can help identify and suggest ways to optimize teams to reduce dependencies."

Over the last month or so, the desire to adopt a kitty has hit me, but I resisted it because life is so uncertain right now. But, about 1 1/2 weeks ago, my sister mentioned something at dinner, and I just got thinking… She said that she would help me out financially if I did get a cat and needed it. And then my dad gave us our Christmas checks – triple what he would normally give – and I really, seriously got thinking that it was something that I thought that I wanted to do.
I started searching petfinder.com and found some cats that I was interested in pursuing, but felt that I needed to clear the idea not only with my mom's husband, who owns our house, but also with my dad and my mom, who have been helping me out financially through this tough time. I knew it was crazy financially, but a cat adopted from the humane society doesn't have to make you go broke, and the drive to get a fuzzy pet, I finally realized, is purely emotional.
Both my mom and dad were on board with me adopting a cat – for emotional reasons. My mom's husband, a little less so, but he agreed if it were what I really wanted to do. Just because I had their approval though, didn't mean that I went right out and got one, instead, I continued to analyze the origin of my desire to get a cat, as well as all the reasons to do it – and to not. The rational part of me told me to wait, but the emotional part of me disagreed.
I really felt that I needed the kitty to help me heal from all this separation stuff. My kids are awesome, but I have come to want the quiet company of a pet who loves you no matter how messy your house is; no matter how badly you lost your temper that day, nor how much you are ashamed that you did; no matter that you choose to spend your free time writing blog posts rather than mopping the floor, and who sits with you without demanding your attention while you do so. But it's also that pets are healthy. That undemanding companionship is mentally and emotionally healthy; it calms you, and relaxes you.
I also thought that a cat would be good for the kids. I feel that Paul is old enough to be able to live with one. I know that it will take a time to adjust to having the pet, but once the novelty has worn off, he will calm down and will learn how to treat an animal, as well as about all the work that is necessary – and fun – in taking care of one; I don't mind scooping poop or changing the water daily – I like it! (I did always want a horse, and perhaps the acceptance of the fact that I would have had to scoop poop for one made me this way.)
So, after giving it more thought, doing some more research, and having the approval from the necessary sources, I chose one to go meet. The kids went along, but when we arrived, the woman who works at the front desk told us that that cat had been applied for, the application was pending at the moment. This did not mean that we could not apply for that cat, so we went to see him. He was a beautiful black guy with big yellow eyes. He was a little bit fuzzier than I had hoped – I do not want a long-haired cat. He came right to the door when we opened it while his cage-mate remained on his bed. The black cat was very nice, and very soft, but I thought about how someone else was wanting him. He also seemed a little fearful of Paul, and batted at him a little when Paul pet him the wrong way. Hmmm, that's not what I'm looking for.
So, we greeted all of the cats at the shelter; something had drawn me to this particular shelter and I felt that if the kitty that I had gone to meet was not the one for us, we could find another there. Elizabeth picked out her favorite: a long-haired yellow cat, but that one was not going to work for us – or me, rather. So, we went back into the black cat's cage and his cage-mate came out to greet us this time: a black and white male. This cat was very relaxed with us, and especially with Paul, didn't bat or bite when he was touched, didn't run away from Paul, and didn't mind to have his tail touched: all good qualities.
We made the rounds again to re-meet some of the other cats; there had been one other female that I had been interested in meeting if the black cat didn't work out, but she turned out to be too dainty for what I was looking for with a 2 1/2 year old boy. I came back to the black and white house-mate, who's name was Percy, and we re-pet him and I began to feel that he was the one for us.
We stayed with Percy a bit, and I had to convince Elizabeth that maybe we ought to consider him instead of the black one, whom she had all ready set her heart on by then. But, I figured that if the black cat had a potential adopting family, why fight them? Or why not give another needy cat a home? With the final idea that Percy may be able to go home with us that same day, she let him into her heart.
So, let me now officially introduce you to the newest member or our family: Sir Percival the Stout and Awesome.
Since his name was all ready Percy and I did not want to completely change our new pet's name from whatever name they had become accustomed to, I decided that we could elaborate it without deleting it completely. Since his name was Percy and Percy is short for Percival, that immediately came to my mind. The 'Sir' came next because the name Percival reminds me of knightly times. Then came the stout because he weighs in at almost 12 pounds! All of this I conjured before we even had him in the carrier to take home! I last asked Elizabeth how she felt about the name I had thought of, and she wanted to call him Awesome Percy, so I added that to the end, with the intention of calling him exactly that which she had offered as his regular, every day name. And that is how Sir Percival got his new name but kept his old.
I think he will grow into being a Sir in time too, right now he's still young, and playful – within a few hours yesterday he was out playing with us, and played for an hour after the kids went to bed. In general, he's a really nice cat, and I think he will fit in very well with us. His papers say he was surrendered by his previous owner due to a problem with allergies, and he was obviously well cared for (he's got a little belly pouch), though he doesn't respond to any voice commands, not even for food. I'm guessing that he lived with a man because he didn't blink an eye when Chepe arrived in the evening and took to him immediately.
He spent today day under the couch though, it will take time to adjust, especially with the kids. It will take me about a month to get used to having him here too – even though I am excited about it, the change also stresses me out. I go into a panic because of the commitment involved – which I would do if I were to sign a new 2-year contract for a phone, purchase a car or rent a house, or anything major like that; I need lots of time to think it over before I take the plunge, and then I will always second guess myself afterward and wonder if I want the new commitment. But, I at least know this, and knew it going into the thing. It will work out, and it will work out Awesome!

Jimmy Carter Quotes About HouseQuotes about: House
We have seven and a half times as many people in prison. And we have eight times as many black women in prison now as we did in 1981, when I left the White House. So that's been one of the major concerns I've had as a non-lawyer, to criticize the American justice system, which is highly biased against black people and poor people. And it still is.
In 1891, during the Presidency of William Henry Harrison [Benjamin Harrison], electric lights were first installed in the White House, the residence of the leaders of our country. At that time, commercial electricity was not economically feasible, but President Harrison wanted to affirm his confidence in the technological capability of our country.
Since I was 18 years old, I have taught the Bible. For the last fifteen or twenty years, I have taught every Sunday when I was home or near my own house, so that would be 35 or 40 times per year. Half of those Sundays, the text comes from the Hebrew Bible. I have had a deep personal interest in the Holy Land and in the teachings of the Hebrew people. God has a special position for the Jewish people, the Hebrews, or whatever. I know the difference between ancient Israel and Judaea, and I know the history. I don't have any problem with the Jewish people.
Earlier in my life I thought the things that mattered were the things that you could see, like your car, your house, your wealth, your property, your office. But as I've grown older I've become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can't see -- the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are.
In the Great Depression in which I grew up and remember vividly, unemployment was over 25 percent, and over 35 percent where I lived. A grown man would work all day, 16 hours, for a dollar. I remember hundreds of people walking by, people who had come down from the North just to get warm. They would come to our house as beggars even though they might have a college education. People didn't have money. They bartered; they'd trade eggs or pigs. It was just completely different.

Granny, there is no evidence to support the fact that leukemia is passed through the bloodline. It carries no familial component. While there is a subtype of people that it seems to affect, like jewish people, it is not passed down from generation to generation. I hope this puts your mind at ease. My best to you, Carm.

If someone in my family has leukemia, am I at a higher risk of getting it?
2 Answers from the Community
Leuchemia is not hereditary. Not all the causes are known but there are a few things which have been proven to cause or contribute to leuchemia. One of the worst is benzene, which is present in cigarette smoke, so if a family is exposed to several smokers, that family can have a higher than normal incidence.

This recipe is packed full of flavor yet is low in added oils and fats with a much healthier alternative to a traditional mashed potato. Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C, manganese, folic acid and contains dietary fiber. Cauliflower's nutty taste and excellent health benefits make it an excellent addition or substitution to mashed potatoes.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 8 – 12 lamb cutlets (depending on size)
- 1/2 cup low fat natural Greek yoghurt
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- One thumb sized piece of ginger, finely grated
- 1 long red chili, de-seeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 ½ tsp tumeric powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
- Approx 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peas
- 1 large potato
- 1 tbsp butter
- ½ head cauliflower
- 3 tbsp low fat natural Greek yoghurt
- Freshly chopped coriander and mint to taste
- Fresh lemon
Place the yogurt, herbs and spices in a large mixing bowl and stir well to combine. Add the lamb cutlets and coat each cutlet fully in the marinade. Cover tightly and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Place the potato in a large pot of water and boil over high heat until just tender, approx 5 minutes. Chop the cauliflower florets into pieces and add to the potato and boil for a further 5 minutes, until cauliflower is tender. Add the peas and boil for approximately another 5 minutes, until all three ingredients are soft enough for smashing. Immediately drain, then place back in the pot with the butter, some salt and pepper and use a fork to break apart and combine ingredients. Add the yoghurt and herbs and 'smash' ingredients together until combined. The aim is to keep some of the structure of the ingredients for texture rather than beating into a smooth mash.
Preheat a large, non stick fry pan over high heat. Add the lamb cutlets and cook for approximately 1.5 – 2 minutes each side, depending on thickness for medium rare.
Serve the lamb chops with the smashed peas and cauliflower mix with a lemon wedge on the side and some chopped fresh coriander for garnish.

After appearing in his first appearance and creating a huge impact in the International Premier Tennis League, the former world #1 tennis player in the world, Rafael Nadal, seems to be at peace with the game.
More so, the hailed king-of-clay is quite content with his contributions to the game of tennis. To date, Nadal sits beside Pete Sampras with 14 grand slam titles and 2nd to Federer's 17 championships.
For the past years, Nadal has been plagued by injuries which kept him from advancing his current rank at #5 in the world.
There has been talks that the tennis icon is starting to feel the nature of aging at 30-years-old. So what keeps Nadal active? It's just his passion in playing.
"I'm more than happy to keep on going. And I'm very excited about it. I have the motivation to keep going," said Nadal.
Known as Federer's conqueror, he himself is not pressured to catch his most fiercest rival's record of 17 grand slam titles but he does want to continue playing as long as he can.
With the rise of Raonic, Kyrgios, Berdych and others – soon he will be stepping aside to pass the torch to his young counterparts. When? Nadal just said he takes it day-by-day.
"For me it doesn't matter if it takes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 years. I really don't think about it. I go day by day. I'm happy to be here today. I'm happy with the way I've competed in the last 3 months of the season."
Any time that Rafael Nadal wants to play tennis, as long as he is happy – he will continue to do so.
"I've achieved in the world of tennis, much more than I've ever dreamed. So, I'm going to play until I enjoy this sport and until I'm happy playing. I have the motivation to keep going, to start another year in one month and to keep playing good tennis every day!"

So this is my first challenge, and I came in at exactly a hundred words. Hopefully I managed to bring John's thoughts about Sam going to college to light. Anyways leave me Love 3
John Winchester listened to his sixteen year old son in the back seat of the impala go on and on about the college fair, that had taken place at his school today. He simply pretended to focus on the stretch of blacktop ahead of him. It had always been his and Mary's dream for his son's to go to college; however that was before Mary and his life had gone up in flames. He knew that Dean had no interest but he wouldn't be fooled into thinking that he would get off so easy with his youngest. His little Sammy.

Bradford Anderson left "General Hospital" last December, but he has one more chance to win at the Daytime Emmys. After four unsuccessful nominations for Best Supporting Actor, will the academy send him away with a parting gift on his fifth try?
Chandler Massey ('Days of Our Lives') could make Daytime Emmys history with third win
Anderson was never a conventional soap star. When he joined "General Hospital" in 2006, his character, computer whiz Damien Spinelli, was largely a comic foil for the deadly serious mob drama that surrounded him. Over time he grew in popularity, and his quirky, fast-talking performance stood out enough for him to rack up four Emmy nods in the last five years. He didn't stand out enough to win, however, even though two of his contests ended in ties.
In 2009, on his first nomination, he lost out to Jeff Branson ("Guiding Light") and Vincent Irizarry ("All My Children").
Discuss Daytime Emmys in our message boards
His 2013 loss was even tougher. He was the only contender without a previous win, and though there were only four nominees voters passed him over for Scott Clifton ("The Bold and the Beautiful") and Billy Miller ("The Young and the Restless").
But he'll get his turn in the winner's circle this year according to our predictors, who give him field-leading 13/8 odds. His closest competitors are a pair of previous Supporting Actor winners: 2005 champ Greg Rikaart ("Y&R") with 10/3 odds, and last year's victor Clifton with 9/2 odds.
Do you think Anderson will finally win? Make your predictions below:

I had zinc deficiency myself then. My mouth was full of mercury amalgam fillings and I needed around four zinc supplement tablets a day. The fillings were replaced and these days I seldom have zinc supplements.Carl Pfeiffer1 was 76 when he lectured in Melbourne, Australia, 4 years before he died. He was as sharp as a tack, answering a question from the audience which the much younger moderator didn't understand. He started with the history of discovery of zinc deficit2 in the Middle East, mentioning the unleavened bread diet (with phytates preventing absorption of what little zinc was there3.)
He then immediately started on schizophrenia, as mental disorders were his main field of study. Depressed levels of zinc and elevated copper levels are typical of that condition. Kryptopyrrole (mauve factor) present in 30%, robs the body of zinc and vitamin B 6.
He next mentioned factors such as lack of sleep and oral contraceptive medication, which can also depress zinc levels, as does copper excess if drinking water reticulated through copper pipes. The upper limit for copper in drinking water should be 0.05 to 0.1 ppm, but can be 10ppm in some bore water and in hot water tanks. In kidney disease, zinc is lost due to albuminuria (protein in urine.)
Talking about pyroluria, he said it is associated with depression, school phobia, delinquency, dysperceptions, amnesia and confusion. Symptoms seen with it include painful knees, splenic pain which can cause scoliosis, stretch marks, white spots on fingernails, crowded upper incisor teeth, acne, cystitis, oedema, otitis media, hypogonadism, amenorrhoea and all girl families (as males were miscarried.)
Pyroluria also removes vitamin B6 and if one is deficient in B6 one cannot use zinc adequately. The hair analysis will then show increased zinc despite deficiency. Combined zinc and B6 deficiency can cause amenorrhoea in young women. He went so far as to say even apparently healthy people deserve a trial of B6 and zinc, to see if they feel better and recall dreams better.
Continued B6 and zinc deficiency probably contribute to cancer. He commented that one sees a lot of cancer in older members of families with pyroluria.
He reminded us that vitamin B6 can be toxic in excess, first described in two women taking it for PMT in doses of 2-6gm per day and on no other treatment. The dose should be enough to have dream recall. Taking it with zinc protects against neuropathy. If paraesthesiae develop, B complex should be added as well. B6 is best taken early in the day, to avoid insomnia.
Zinc supplementation lowers manganese, so he always includes 50mg of Mn with the 30mg of zinc (and B6.)

Mercury exerts toxicity by replacing metals such as zinc and magnesium but not doing their normal job. One way of reducing this toxicity, is to flood the system with more Zn to compete for positions in enzymes.

With WiFi you must stay connected to a WiFi network, which although growing, are still quite limited to an airport, business center, your office, etc.
However, using a cellular based, high speed network your range of wireless options are so much more.
The NY Times writes PLENTY of technologies can get you online wirelessly these days, but there's always a catch. Wi-Fi Internet hot spots are fast and cheap, but they keep you tethered to the airport, hotel or coffee shop where the hot spot originates. A Bluetooth cellphone can get your laptop online, but at the speed of a slug. And smoke signals – well, you know. The privacy issues are a nightmare.
But for the laptop lugger with an expense account, there may be another option. It's a relatively new cellular data network called C.D.M.A. 1xEV-DO, which, as you surely knew, stands for Code Division Multiple Access Evolution-Data Only. No wonder Verizon Wireless, the earliest and largest adopter of this technology, just calls it the BroadbandAccess plan. Read the full NYT article here

About Us
Roots Yoga is the brain child of Maggie and Austin Lehrian. Newly married, they sought to connect their combined forces with the community in a deeper way. Not only are they "rooted" in Hawley, having spent the majority of their lives in the region, the Lehrian's also have an immense love for the outdoors and everything nature.
Maggie, a yoga teacher whose passion in life is to improve the lives of others, saw an opportunity to bring a more connected, spiritually driven practice of yoga to the Lake Wallenpaupack Region. Maggie began her journey on the yogic path in 2008 after moving back to Hawley from busy NYC. Her experiences in NYC fueled a tremendous amount of growth and clarity; however, she realized she is indeed a country girl at heart. She immediately fell in love with the practice and in 2010 became a 200 hour certified Hatha yoga teacher through the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA. Since then, her practice and teaching continues to evolve daily, learning much from her students and the world around her. "My favorite part of teaching is when my students inquire about deeper practices. My job as a yoga teacher is to guide students within. The results- calm, open-mindedness, joy, are beyond fulfilling."
Austin owns a small construction company by day, but is a serial entrepreneur at heart. His ultimate passion is organic gardening. They live with their cat, Oscar, in Greentown.
The mission behind Roots Yoga is to create an oasis for the local community and for those who have retreated here. A sanctuary for people to be themselves and feel a sense of inspiring freedom. We intend to foster this liberated community by expanding minds through yoga, meditation, systematic relaxation, Satsang (def: assembly of persons who listen to, talk about, and assimilate the truth), and more. Roots Yoga also exists to make yoga and its nourishing and enriching benefits accessible to as many people as possible.

Vibrant and colorful flowers. Plump and sweet vegetables. Fresh green leaves. Robust and nutrient-filled roots and stems. Healthy seeds that can yield hale and hearty new sprouts. These are the descriptions of a perfect plant, a botanic that even people who do not enjoy planting would appreciate.
Who wouldn't want the kind that would turn into an impeccable culinary dish in a form of sage salads or garnishing? Who would complain if they receive Instagram-worthy decorations from floral bouquet (well, of course not unless you are allergic to it – but hey, that's not the point here)? Who would refuse to do business with a farmer who cares for the type of plants that bear fruits and flowers which will turn into lots of profit sooner or later? No one.
Coming up with the perfect plant is time-consuming and complicated, but I it is not impossible. The secret behind this high-quality package lies behind the soil, literally. Yes, you read that right. One of the major things that you could do is to utilize compost.
Be able to build your own ecosystem that will help you create bountiful produce. With the help of a compost, you will invite creatures that do not only discharge natural substances but will also help protect your greenhouse from bacteria and pests.

The Ultimate Compost Guide
What is composting?
I can understand the possibility of linking composts to fertilizers. Most of us will have the same thing popped into our head when we hear the word. Then again, we can sometimes relate composting with things that could rot.
Do you ever wonder why we have to segregate biodegradable from non-biodegradable products? Aren't you curious about the uses of keeping left-over foods from plastics or bottles or tin cans? Well, one of the aftermaths of this action would be producing efficacious composts!
Definition of terms
Composting is the act or the process of organic substances decaying in a natural way into a rich soil. It is a practice that would help mother earth upcycle nutrients of life. We put composts into the loam and in return, the nutrients of the putrefying materials will go back to the soil. Eventually, it will travel to the roots of the nearby planted foliage. Soon after, the plants will receive most if not all of the nutrients and benefits will be manifested through its physical appearance: lovely flowers and luscious fruits for example.
Compost, on the other hand, is the ongoing product of composting. This will be a combination of different materials that are subject to wilt and decompose in a natural way. The final product is then called as the finished compost.
Composed are classified as green and brown. Examples of green materials would be eggs and its shells, urine, plant remains (make sure that they were not previously sprayed with pesticides), and herbivore dungs. Hairs, nut shells, paper products in all forms (tissues, cartons, and magazines included), cork, and leather are just some of the examples of brown compost materials. We will further discuss this in another section.
Humus is a decomposed matter within your compost.
Types of composting
There are three types of composting. They are classified according to materials of their compost. Let us discuss them one by one.
Backyard composting is the best choice for you if there is enough open space in your garden, if there are trees nearby, and if you have a regular supply of food scraps.
Vermicomposting is suitable, on the other hand, if your garden space is limited. This can be done by people who live in apartments or even dormitories. The compost material for this type would also be left-over foods.
Another type is grasscycling. You might have noticed that it is a combination of two words: grass and cycling (yes, like recycling). From there, it gives you a clue that the major compost material needed would be none other than… grass! This is very easy to accomplish as the only thing that you need to do is to leave your grass clippings after you mow your yard.
Ways to compost
With all the abundant resources of our compost material, knowing how to properly perform the process is also very significant because your compost can be unsuccessful even if you already have the correct ingredients.
Cold composting
Hot Composting
Both cold and hot composting would require you to follow certain intervals of aeration and moisture, specific ratios and strategic layering.

10 Wonderful Reasons to Start Composting
The popular reason for composting is that people wanted free fertilizers. Again and again, composts can lead to a healthy land which can harbor plants in fine fettle.
You might be thinking about the other benefits of composting aside from serving as a fertilizer. Well, here is an entire section for you! This is also dedicated to readers who are probably still not convinced to compost organic waste yet.

If people cannot wait for their garbage collectors, they resort to burning their wastes. Composting can be done alternatively. You halt combination of smoke, poisonous ash, and burned chemicals, which reduces as one sets fire on their trash, which leads to allergic reaction, asthma attacks, and increased air toxicity.
A greenhouse gas released from landfill materials called Methane causes climate change. This, together with the massive amount of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) are the perfect ingredients for illness.
#2. You can assist in preventing soil erosion
In today's world, it is not surprising to hear accidents caused by the wearing away of lands. Landfills in nearby water sources such as rivers, streams and lakes get weak. Since the terrestrial is technically unhealthy, it can easily let go of its bind. By composting, you decrease the chances of soil running off into bodies of water.
Regrettably, when we talk about erosion, it is not only harmful to the land as the pesticides and chemical fertilizers used can go to the water and poison the creatures living there.
#3. You can curtail landfill waste
"1/4 landfill waste could have been used as a compost" – Environmental Protection Agency.
Statistics would provide evidence as to how much waste we produced. And it is indeed alarming. By composting all your food scraps, you immediately help decrease the numbers. You might have heard or seen warnings about rat infestation when you are composting foods that are not raw. Another issue would be the smell composts can cause.
Useful Pro Tips to address these two concerns would be
- To do trench composting instead of hot or cold! Dig up instead of using trash bins.
- To add more dry materials like paper on your compost.
Please see following sections for further discussion about tips and tricks and for more frequently asked questions.
Since you've discovered that you can compost everything that has life, having free resources would never be a problem.
Let's put it simple, why would we throw something that could really be valuable? Instead of adding up problems to the world, why don't we contribute towards the solution? Composting lessens wastes and improves earth holistically. Period.
#4. You can dissuade pests from harming your plants
Composts are a natural pesticide. Two big words in one product: natural and pesticide. The fact that it can shoo unwanted visitors from eating up your plants is already superb. But, when you add another element which is being natural that would already be perfect!
And oh, did I mention that you can have this safe insect repellent for free? Since you will be making it on your own, you do not even need to shell out money.
#5. You can help mother earth create new, healthy, naturalized soil
If soils can protest, they can shout to the world how depleted their nutrients are. The end result of compost is a product that is nutrient-abundant and comprehensively rich with beneficial elements. Using compost with your garden prevents unhealthy balances of pH to occur (either by being very acidic or alkaline). Through the help of composting, you encourage your garden to produce more edible plants.
Aside from micronutrient deficiency, a huge percentage of our land is thirsty. Research shows that adding 5% organic material quadruples the water absorption capability of the soil.
#6. You can promote biodiversity
When we were in grade school, our teacher explained to us the importance of ecosystem. Imagine having an effectual biota in your own backyard! Their presence can help boost whatever benefits composting already have.
Soils with natural humus can attract bacteria and fungi that connect one plant to another, thereby encouraging exchange and transfer of useful substances like food, water, and other nutrients.
#7. You can scale down use of fossil fuels
There are different forms of compost, one would be home-grown and the other would be industrially manufactured. Choosing any will give humanity benefits but selecting the first type would be the better choice.
Making your own compost becomes helpful as you utilize natural elements such as bacteria and fungi to slowly break down the organic matter.
Technically, when factories create compost, they use oil-dependent machines. They also produce vast quantities of compost in a shorter span of time (which is really good, isn't it?). The process, unfortunately, is not natural (and could bring about negative effects) as they made it faster by using inorganic heat to oxidize the materials used.
#8. You can support plants grow vigorous roots
Even kids know the importance of roots to plants. They are the ones responsible for sucking up nutrients from the land, they connect with other roots, and they support the structure of the plant as they hold firmly on the ground.
When you use compost, you make the foundation robust by stimulating soil particles to stick together, promoting air pockets to increase its number and enhancing multiplication of channels that can transport nutrients.
#9. You can use it as an alternative landscape fillers
Why do you have to pay extra bucks for land fillers when you can just use an organic compound? Yes, that could mean a few hundred more depending on the size of your garden. A definite two birds hit with one stone; you do not only beautify your garden's appearance, you also create a healthy environment for everyone.
#10. You can bond with your family!
Teaching your children how to compost makes them aware and in charge of their environment at a young age. Explain these benefits in a entertaining way. Make this a fun learning activity and you are also cultivating accountable future generations without even noticing it!
When to Compost?
There is a very special trick we should know and apply when we decide to start composting. That is, to take into consideration the timetable.
For countries like us which experience a cycle of four seasons (winter, spring, summer and fall), proper timing should be noted down so as not to waste our materials and most of all our efforts. This section will help you understand the difference between these four seasons, their pros and cons during composting and most of all, I will run down the strategies you can make use of to maximize your plan.
Spring is the perfect time for people living in localities with winter.
On the other hand, your composting will maximize its decomposition rate during summer. The heat of the seasonal sun will definitely be helpful as it will speed-up the natural decaying method. This process will also be boosted if you regularly mix the contents of your compost. Summer is also the perfect time to produce different batches of high-quality compost. What's not to love?
Choosing a storage system
Choosing the perfect bin will help you be well-organized.
You have to understand that there are materials which can particularly be available only at a certain season. As we all know, leaves will be present in massive amounts during fall and few to zero during winter.
Select a container that is suited for the temperature. Are you going to need an insulator? Or would you wish to just go ahead and buy a cold weather composter?. If you are planning to start during the summer, you might want to check composters that have high-temperature traps to enhance the composting through heat.
Consider the size of your space and the amount of materials you wish to put inside before buying the product. You may ask your neighbors if you are just a newbie in this process as they will give you important guidelines for these concerns.
Few more questions to ask yourself when choosing bins would be: How much time do you have? Shall you buy a composter that has a self-aeration system or would you just let the air in manually following a particular schedule?
Fall composting
Collect all you the materials you can during fall. Include leaves, flowers, soil used for tomato planting, the clippings of grass when you mowed your lawn, stems, and other garden scraps. Do not forget that this is the time wherein layering the materials are important. You must layer compost pile with leaves alternately. With this in mind, do not forget to set aside extra leaves. As winter days follow, one after the other, layer the extra leaves with your mixed compost regularly. The main purpose layering is to prevent matting; in the same light, the importance of mixing or turning your compost is to provide air pockets.
Preparedness is the key, as I always say. Make sure that you have a multipurpose tarp to cover your compost bin just in case rainy season comes. You do not want to get your materials become extremely moist or waterlogged.
Spring composting
Starting your compost during spring requires routine turning. The aim is to increase channels in which air could pass by.
As the temperature becomes hot, the compost will start to cook. If you began composting in the previous seasons, adding more natural materials will become automatic as unsurprisingly, you will have more resources. The freshly introduced warm organic matters will best serve the bacteria in your compost.
Summer composting
The temperature during this season is the unadulterated component to naturally speed up the process of composting.
For fresh composts, make sure that there is a balance of all the earthly elements needed to create a healthy soil. This includes air, food, water and warm temperature. Just like when you do composting in fall, you have to layer your materials. Put the green organic matter over your green matter; and/or you can also scatter brown matter within your green matter. As for the watering part, regularly provide moisture while turning.
Your task during summer when you already have a compost cooking in your backyard is to ensure that it is properly maintained. Sprinkle new materials (particularly grass) to add variation. Monitor its moisture content to ensure that it will not get dried up.
Winter composting
Winter composting becomes tricky because of the presence of low temperature. This change in hotness will cause the development of composting to become sluggish. This is not, however, a reason to be worried for as long as your compose does not turn into an ice, the process will still continue.
When the compost materials are frozen, the cooking stops, microorganisms will go on a hibernate mode until the temperature rises above the freezing point again. So this is not a cause for you to be apprehensive.
Despite the fact that the compost will turn icy any time, you still have to add new materials like kitchen scraps. Remember the extra leaves that I told you to save last fall? Now is the right moment to use it up. Since it is cold, people would naturally build a fire inside the houses and that is a good news as that means we will be having wood ashes! Feel free to add them up to your compost. Do not forget to layer as you introduce these items.
How to compost? Tips and Tricks
Prepare materials
The first thing that you have to do when starting a new project is to make all your equipment available. You can always make use of what is already in your backyard or garage or you can purchase a new one. In any case, you must do some research to check which utensils can be most beneficial for you. Let us discuss the top 5 items that composting will demand.
From the name itself, aerator makes air pockets for your compost. You can buy a compost aerator tool which is readily available for use.
On the other hand, you can simply use a pitchfork and manually introduce air to your materials. A pitchfork can also be helpful when you're trying to mix your compost matter.
Construct a bin for your compost
There are different categories of compost bin to choose from. There are also compost accessories in the market you can purchase. To be more precise, here is a list of choices if you do not want to dig your garden soils.
- Compost bin (could be made of plastic, wood, or recycled materials)
- Compost tumbler (allows you to mix your compost with comfort or ease just by turning it). If you want a faster result, use a spinning composter. It has the same method but the bonus aerating mixing fins makes a big difference.
- Chambered composter (divides your bin into compartments in which the compost can move from one to the other as the composting process develop)
Otherwise, you can, of course, make your own compost bin and here are the steps:
Step 1: Get a plastic bin that can be tightly sealed. Choose a bin with a height you are comfortable to work with.
Step 2 : Create 8 to 10 holes at the bottom. This will allow air to enter your compost. You may use a hand drill or hammer and nail.
Step 3: Create another batch of holes in the cover.
Step 4:The bin is now ready for use. Layer the materials inside, refill, mix and turn regularly. Make sure to cover it securely.
You can also build your own wormery with these steps:
- Buy 2 rectangular bins that can be placed on top of each other. One will be called the worm bin, and the other, leachate bin.
- Drill aeration spaces on the sides (8 holes) and bottom (18 holes) part of the worm bin. Holes here, however, should be carefully spaced (2-2.5 inches interval). Set aside.
- Drill 8 holes on the mid-side. If you're using Rubbermaid, use the side ridges as your demarcation line. There must be 2-2.5 inches between each hole.
- Stack the worm bin over the leachate bin.
- Fill the container with worms occupying 75% of the bin, wait and follow vermicomposting procedures carefully.
If you're not comfortable with worms, here's the procedure on how to create composters out of trash can.
- Use 40 gallons of garbage can, drill holes evenly on the bottom, sides, and cover.
- Place your container on top of 2 blocks of wood so that the air can circulate all over.
- Fill in the bin with your compost material.
Repurpose your shipping pallets into a compost bin in easy steps
- Select the location. Unlike containers, this type of bin would not be easy to maneuver and it would get lots of effort to transfer.
- Wash the pallets with soapy water. Even the sides using sand paper to avoid splinters.
- Using two pallets, connect them using L-brackets. Connect the third using another bracket. You may repeat this step depending on the number of available pallets.
- Create a swinging door with the fourth pallet using two to three hinges. The door will allow you easily remove your compost once its process completed.
- If you would like to put some paint to beautify your bin, do it on the outside part only. This will prevent chemicals to have direct access to your compost materials.
- Prepare your planters by covering a landscaping fabric (or burlap) on each side. Allow the cloth to exceed so that it will hang over the sides of the walls of your pallet. Create a pocket by cutting notches in brace points and then sliding the fabric. Once you are contented with the depth and form, staple to stabilize.
- Fill the planters with vining plants and fill the bin with compost materials.
Fill your bins with a balanced mixture
Greens are materials that are rich in nitrogen. Their characteristic of being fresh and moist is the key reason why they are called greens. With the abundance of nitrogen, microorganisms will grow, develop and multiply in their healthiest state. Examples of which include:
- Coffee grounds
- Food scraps
- Grass clippings
- Green manure
- Used tea bags
- Weeds
Browns are materials that are rich in carbon. Carbon provides energy sources for the main composters such as bacteria, fungi, rotifers, and worms. These are mainly dry matters like:
- Branches and twigs
- Dried leaves
- Dryer lint
- Paper products
- Sawdust
- Wood ash
Surprising items which could be included in your compost include alcoholic beverages like beer and wine, latex or sheepskin condoms, masking tape, menstrual pads or tampons, nail clippings (must be without polish), non-toxic glue, old leather products, and used loofah. It is highly suggested however to place these items in the middle of your heap.
Ratios are important because properly following it will give you faster results. The magic number would be 30:1. That means, for every 30 parts of the brown mixture, you should add 1 part of greens.
Layer or mix the different materials in your bin
Header 1 / 1
Header 1 / 2
Step 1
|Just like anything else, composts need a very good foundation. This can be done by making 4 inches of hard materials like branches and twigs. The air can easily pass through these items as it creates a non-compact base. Apply liberal amounts of water.
Step 2
|Start layering your greens on top of your browns one after the other until you create a 36-60 inches pack. Do not stuff your layers too firmly. Water each layer regularly.
Step 3
|Optionally, you can top your layers with garden soil
Turn your pile regularly
This should be done once every week or two. Turning allows:
- Oxygen to enter the compost pile. Without turning, our compost will produce bad odor as it becomes anaerobic. Turn to avoid fly and rat infestation.
- Ensures that all parts of the heap will be exposed to death, killing all pathogens.
- Mixture and chopping matters better, turning the finely granulated.
- The process of composting finish faster.
Adding new materials
What not to compost
Here is the list of some controversial compost materials
- Cooked food
- Fats and oils
- Human waste
- Meat
- Pet waste
Here are the things you should not add in your compost
- Chemically treated wood, papers, and plants
- Diseased plants
- Papers that are glossy and with colored ink
Harvest your compost
You can use your finished product by directly applying them to your garden soil.
Lastly, you can create a compost tea out of all your products! It can be applied twice a month to an established plant through a use of garden sprayer or watering can. Soak the solution around the plant root just like how you ordinarily water your plants. You may use this product too as an alternative.
- Sift your finished products using a screen (check the materials discussed earlier). Gather all the materials that were able to pass through your filter.
- Fill 33% of a 5-gallon bucket with your filtered compost.
- Put a mark on your bucket 2 inches on top of your compost. Fill the bucket with unchlorinated water until you reach your demarcation line.
- Stir the mixture well with a stick regularly within the next 5 -7 days to aerate.
- After a week, strain to get the compost tea.
Compost Products
You already have your finished product, now what? This section will give you an idea on how you can utilize your hard-earned humus and the crops to grow using it.
Ways to use compost
- Cover your garden's layer of finished compost to give nourishment to all your plants. As you water them, the humus would be able to go deeper and the plants will absorb its components eventually.
- If you have garden beds, you may mix your compost with the soil without limitation.
- Put your compost in a pot and plant seeds using a ratio of 1:3 compost-soil.
- Sprinkling your compost on top of the soil of established plants. This will only be applicable if you still have a space on your pot. If not, remove 1-2 inches thick soil from the pot and substitute it with your compost.
- Transfer seedlings to a mixture of 1 part compost and 2 part soils.
- Some plants like tomato and pumpkin thrive in plain compost. This would be a perfect choice if you do not have a soil nearby but still want to grow plants. You may experiment with different seeds to see which will work.
Crops you can grow on a compost pile
- 1. Alfalfa and Red clover. You may use their clippings as an additional organic matter. These perennial legumes grow continuously.
- 2. Biennial yellow clover. This plant is super nitrogen rich that as it grows it will continuously emit nitrogen through its root.
- 3. Borage and comfrey. The benefit of using these herbs is that they utilize phosphorus and zinc from the compost to grow fast.
- 4. Daikon radish and kale. Unlike other vegetables, heavy seeding is needed to be successful. You can recycle the stalks for the compost.
- 5. Edamame, Black-eyed peas, Red cowpeas, and other beans. This low maintenance plant would necessitate few steps: plant, harvest, then cut vines.
- 6. Winter rye. This plant can serve as the protection for the soil. Its crops are full of nutrients which they add to the compost.
Other composts
Bird and Chicken Compost
Certain animals, such as birds are helpful when it comes to composting. Alectura lathami is a very good example of this. Brush turkey, which can be found in Australia creates piles from decomposing vegetation. Apparently, the main purpose of this bird is to produce heat to nurture the eggs on her nest. The bird collects organic materials and places it on its nest so that the warm temperature it naturally emits warms the egg. This compound can eventually turn into a good humus.
The combinations of haystack (and other compost materials) and chicken can lead to many good beneficial outputs. First, the chicken would love to feed on the worms of the compost. Second, the chicken will produce manure that will contribute to the compost. And lastly, chickens will do all the mixing and aeration for you as they hunt for food sources.
Birds can also serve as a composting matter once they die. This allows dead-disposal to be carried out safely and eventually producing valuable materials. Composting is done by mixing deceased avian, their manure and piles of straw.
Horse compost
Another great source of animal manure for composting would be horses. As previously discussed, these animals do not grind their food as much as other herbivores. It is a fact that a horse produces about 23 kilos of excreta in a day. Now, if you are fond of horses, or if you have a barn, this could actually give you 8 tons of organic waste per year multiplied by the number of horses you own!
The following are the steps in composting horse manure:
- Find a perfect spot for your compost building procedure. It should be in a high area with a leveled ground. You do not want their manure spilling out in lower areas of your field during the rainy season.
- Create an 8x8x5-inch compost bin. It would be a wise move to prepare a second or third bin so that you can create batch after batch of compost material.
- Provide a barrier between the hot sun and the rain. Use a tarp to accomplish this. In this way, you will be preventing the compost to get dry or too moist and soggy when it rains.
- Aerate. Turn your compost accordingly. Sticking a number of PVC pipes that are 5 feet long were vouched to be an effective and easy way to do this.
- Water. Moisten it regularly without soaking the compost.
- Do steps one to five for three to six months or until the compost crust and crumble like dirt.
Grass clippings compost
This is one of the easiest ways on how to compost. As the grasses in your lawn grow tall, you can start mowing them… and, just leave the grass clippings on the ground! In due course, the clippings that cover your lawn will naturally decay and will serve as a fertilizer for your soil.
However, if you wish to use your grass clippings as part of your compost material in bins, there is a different process you have to follow. Contrary to the first method I have shared with you, it is advisable for you to classify your grass clipping first. If it is fresh, it belongs to the green matter. On the other hand, of it has dried up already, it counts as a brown matter.
Bear in mind that grass can be easily packed and can get too damp. As an effect, aeration will not happen and microbes will die. With this light, do not carelessly throw your grass cuttings in the pit because negative consequences such as bad odor and slothful development of the composting process.
Toilet composts
Warning: This section may not be suitable for everyone.
You might have an idea about the primary material which you will utilize when you compost toilets. If your guess was human waste, then you are correct.
Toilet composting has been proven possible and effective in 1960's. The Bio-drum which was able to quickly compost waste and toilet paper without producing odor, and evaporate the liquid with the manure, introduced us to this concept. The entire toilet is divided into 3 chambers which performs different tasks.
The advantages of toilet compost include breaking down of waste using aerobic bacteria, controlling moisture, and stabilizing a warm environment.
Electric composter
Japan, being well-known for their technology came up with an electric composter. This makes composting relatively easy for anyone. Through its manual, you can easily identify which materials can be added to the compost, even controversial matters like cooked food and fish. It can produce odorless humus in as little as 30 days and you can keep the compost in the bin for 6 months. This is a great composting tool for condominiums and small apartments.
The bad side, nevertheless, is that since it is electronic, you will need a power supply to operate it.
Composting for kids
If you can recall, I listed family bonding as a good reason why to start composting. Composting can be done by people from all walks of life, even kids.
Teach your kids to segregate the fruit and veggie peelings from other household wastes. Ask them to help you combine materials. Explain the process to children in an entertaining way such as using cartoons and educational shows.

Making a Good Thing Last: How To Preserve Your Potables
H ow long can I keep a bottle of wine after I've opened it?
This is one of the questions we're asked most often. One recent question came from Edward S. Gross and Margaret Reid of Newton Centre, Mass. "Since we often are the only wine drinkers at dinner, finishing a 750 ml bottle may be out of the question, especially if I have bills to pay or Margaret has work to do that evening," Ed wrote.
