The British Virgin Islands is surely the "sailing capital of the world", but the Windward and Leeward Islands are waiting to be explored, and the comfortable Lagoon 62′ catamaran ELYSIUM is the perfect yacht to explore it on. There is so much diversity in the many island cultures, each offering their own history and habitats and their own version of Caribbean life and style.

But for those intrepid souls who would be happy to enjoy Elysium's luxury while underway, it's an ideal sailing vacation. Elysium's crew, Captain Theunis and Chef Rebecca, are eager to take the yacht "down-island", especially to St. Maarten, St. Barth's, Anguilla, and the Grenadines, to explore and share adventures with their guests.
This fabulous yacht offers a multitude of lounging areas topside, aft deck and on the foredeck which has an optional shade awning when needed. The master stateroom offers a king size berth with private head and stall shower. There are two VIP cabins with king berths, private ensuite heads and separate stall showers as well as a forward cabin with a twin berth, private ensuite head and wet shower. The twin cabin is accessible from the deck via a private entry and is perfect for a teen or single adult.
Each cabin is fully equipped with – private shower, private electric head, temperature controlled A/C, TV/DVD, hairdryer and converter plugs.

Born and raised on the western cape of South Africa, Theunis started sailing with his father at a young age and immediately fell in love with the ocean. The son of a Navy man, his childhood weekends were filled with regattas, fishing tournaments and fixing up their family boat. He set sail when he was just 18 and has since gained experience on many different vessels from motor yachts, sailing yachts, racing yachts and even tall ships. He's sailed all around the world from his birthplace in South Africa, the sensational Seychelles to the cold shores of Canada, the sunny Caribbean, tropical Thailand and the mythical Mediterranean islands.
Growing up on the ocean, naturally Theunis developed a passion for all types of water sports. As a watersports coordinator and certified PADI Dive Master/Instructor Theunis leads his guests through endless aquatic adventures with patience and unparalleled ease. Theunis prides himself on offering an unforgettable oceanic experience. He strives to educate and foster a deeper ocean connection specifically tailored to each and every guest.

JThe Webster's New World Law Dictionary defines a non custodial sentence as 'a criminal sentence served elsewhere than in a prison (for example, on probation)'.
In the simplest term, a non custodial sentence refers to the sentence imposed on a person who has been found guilty of a crime by a competent Court of law which does not involve a term of imprisonment in the case of an adult, a remand order in the case of a minor or young person or a detention at the liberty of the Governor in the case of a person of unsound mind.
A wide range of non-custodial sentences exist in the criminal justice administration system. They include but are not limited to the following; Fines, Binding Over, Community Service, Probation, Caning, Compensation, Reparation Order, Attendance Centre Order in the case of minors.
In Nigeria, our criminal justice system traditionally recognises the death penalty (for capital offences), imprisonment, fines, binding over, caning, amputation and stoning to death in the case of the Sharia laws being operated by the respective Northern States as punishment for offences. However, imprisonment with or without fines is the most widely imposed punishment by our Courts of Law for offences that are not capital in nature.
This is especially so because the Criminal and Penal Codes establishing and imposing punishments for the various offences stipulate varying terms of imprisonment with or without fines as punishment.
Hence, we have found ourselves in a situation whereby even so-called minor offences have been punished with terms of imprisonment, however short, further congesting our already overcrowded prisons all over the country with the attendant dehumanizing living conditions.
In a recent interview, the Comptroller-General of The Nigeria Prison Service, Mr Ja'afarau Ahmed stated that as at March this year, there were 68,250 inmates held in prison facilities all over the country. Out of this number, 46,351 are awaiting trial, while the remaining 21, 903 are convicts.
A situation where supposed minor offences for instance, a cell phone theft, or first time offenders are sent to the same prison facilities to be housed together with hardened and unrepentant criminals defeats the whole essence of establishing the Prisons Service ab initio, qua its mission statement; 'Our intention is to establish a credible prisons service which is through excellent penal practice, seek lasting change in offenders' attitudes, values and behaviour and ensure successful reintegration into the society'
With the exception of the recently passed Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 (ACJA) and The Lagos State Criminal Law, 2011, most other legislations on crimes and criminal justice administration are archaic, and do not have incorporated in them this modern trend of non/custodial sentences.
The ACJA, 2015 at Section 319 makes provision for Victim Compensation, Restitution and Damages which may be imposed on a convict alongside any other fine or term of imprisonment.
The Lagos State Criminal Law 2011 is more pungent in its Section 15 (2). The said section provides that:
'any other disposition measures which may be ordered under this law are compensation, restitution, community service orders, probation, curfews orders, binding over orders, rehabilitation and correctional orders, victim-offender mediation and other restorative justice measures'
Flowing from the above, Courts, especially Magistrate Courts in Lagos State are empowered to sentence convicts to hours of community service either by cleaning public toilets or clearing the Court premises or in any manner according to the discretion of the Judge. It goes without saying that this does not in any way take away the power of the Court to impose terms of imprisonment if it so wishes.
The resultant effect is that instead of sending every offender of law to prison, having being found guilty of an offence, or impose fines in lieu of imprisonment (where usually in the case of indigent convicts, they cannot pay and end up in prison), there are other legally recognizable punishments that can be imposed, due regard having been had to the age of the offender, the severity of the offence, the demeanour of the offender during trial, whether the victim can be compensated, etc.
These forms of non-custodial sentences function together to improve the effectiveness of our criminal justice administration. The government is also saved the revenue of feeding and clothing inmates had they been sent to serve prison terms.
I hereby implore other states of the federation to emulate Lagos State by amending their various criminal laws to incorporate these forms of non-custodial sentences. The effect overwhelmingly is that we gift ourselves a hugely effective criminal justice machinery that takes into consideration the peculiarity of the offence and/or the offender, rather than a blanket craze to sentence to prison. A craze which ultimately does more harm than good to us as a people particularly, and the system in general.

Webster says this is "the act of preparing for something…the act of looking."
I must say I like the excitement of anticipation, unless the object of my anticipation includes an excitement of anxiety.
My facebook today thanks pet therapy. Pets, for me, can bring a calmness during that time of negative anxious anticipation. The classic unconditional love is definitely an act to look forward to in life.
Peace beyond reason to your anticiaption today.

It is an image familiar across the world: children wearing replica football shirts bearing the name of their heroes.
But for some, owning such a shirt is almost as much of a dream as being able to emulate their idols on the pitch.
Undaunted, one young boy, thought to be from the war-torn region of Dohuk in Iraq, fashioned his own, using a blue and white plastic bag with the words 'Messi 10' on the back.
The picture of the boy, which was first spotted by fans in Turkey, has spread on social media around the world, prompting an outpouring of support for the youngster.
A campaign on Twitter has now been launched to try to track down the unidentified boy and get him a real Argentina national team shirt.

Fanatik, Turkish sports website, reported: "A young boy in Iraq made a Lionel Messi shirt from a plastic bag."

Spanish-language football blog Juez Central then tweeted: "Tremendous image. A child in Iraq manages to play in his idol's T-shirt. The Beautiful Game."
One popular fan-run Twitter account for the Argentina star Lionel Messi has claimed to be in contact with representatives of the Barcelona captain.

Messi10stats, which has almost 700,000 followers, tweeted: "They want to know who this kid is so that Leo can arrange something for him."

There has so far been no acknowledgment from the star about the child. However, it wouldn't be the first time Messi has done something charitable for children.
Last year, he donated 4,500,000 Argentine pesos (£315,000) through the Lionel Messi Foundation to the UN children's body, Unicef.

Performance Management
A Constructive, Productive Process
Meaningful performance management is simple: talk. Talk about expectations, talk about goals and priorities, talk on a regular basis. These simple principles are simple to implement using the Conversations About Performance (CAP) program. (The CAP program is for managing staff employees. Academic Affairs maintains an evaluation system for faculty.)
The CAP program contains just three elements that encourage regular conversations between managers and employees:
1) A kick-off meeting to set goals for the year;
2) Check-in meetings at least twice a year to provide feedback and adjust goals as changes occur in workload and priorities; and
3) A wrap-up meeting at the end of the cycle (which can also be the kick-off meeting for the upcoming year).
To administer CAP, access the Workday System. If you need help navigating the performance management module in Workday, the User Guide to Performance Management (CAP) below is a handy resource.
Resources to Support the Use of CAP
The Bentley HR Department offers training and resources to help both employees and managers navigate the CAP system. Here are a few of our offerings:
- Workday - User Guide to Performance Management (CAP)
- Setting SMART goals
- Competency Dictionary
- CAP Presentation
If you have questions on one of these topics, or others not listed here, please contact your HR Business Partner.

This measure would authorize the City of Claremont to issue general obligation bonds with net proceeds of $23.5 million and a 25-year term to finance the design and construction of a new City police facility.
The current Claremont Police Station is 45 years old. It was designed for an all-male police department that was half the size of Claremont's current department. Built in the 1970's, the Station does not comply with modern building standards, and its jail facility is at risk of decertification (in which case, the City could not use it as a jail anymore).
The general obligation bonds would fund a new Police Station that would be located on the same site as the current Police Station. The proposed Station would be larger (approximately 26,000 square feet), it would serve a co-ed police department, and it would comply with modern building standards and regulations for jails. In addition, the proposed Station would be more energy efficient, would be accessible to people with disabilities, and would have electrical and mechanical systems that can better meet the demands of today's advanced computer and communication systems.
The Claremont City Council placed this measure on the ballot. This measure approves funding for a new Police Station, but it does not commit the City to a particular building design. If this measure is approved, the City will evaluate design options for the building through a public process.
Financial Implications
The City would pay the debt service on the general obligation bonds through an ad valorem tax that it would impose on all taxable real property in the City of Claremont. The maximum tax rate would be $30.33 per $100,000 of assessed valuation.
The City estimates that, the year after it issues the first bonds, the estimated debt service would require a tax rate of $26.41 per $100,000 of assessed valuation. To illustrate, the estimated annual tax for a home with an assessed valuation of $500,000 would be $132.05 the first year after bonds are issued.
The City expects this rate to decrease each year (assuming one bond series) with the average tax rate being approximately $24.47 per $100,000 of assessed valuation over the 25-year issue.
California law requires an affirmative two-thirds vote to impose the tax and issue the bonds.
A "yes" vote on Measure SC is a vote in favor of issuing the bonds and imposing an ad valorem tax for a new police facility.
A "no" vote on Measure SC would disapprove the issuance of bonds and imposition of an ad valorem tax for a new police facility.

Psychic Near Me Mineral Wells West Virginia 26150
Do you think it might be enjoyable or fascinating to do an online psychic reading? Are you curious about exactly what might occur to you in the future? There are people that have been blessed with the skill of being able to predict the future for somebody and they are known as psychics. Here is what you can get out of a reading with a psychic.First, you require
to understand that this will not be a 100%precise reading. Just like you and me the psychics are human and they will miss some things. It is the very same as if you simply left a dining establishment and I asked you to tell me the color of the t-shirt the woman to the right of you was using and what your servers name was. These are minor details that you may miss just like a psychic may miss out on some of these as well.Second, if they are a genuine psychic they will inform you they are not 100 %precise and they will charge you a cost. There are no genuine psychics that will give you more than simply a few minutes free of charge before they anticipate you to pay. They need to make a living similar to anyone else so anticipate to invest a little bit of cash on your online psychic reading.Last, you have to comprehend that they are not your counselor or your therapist. They are not there to offer you any recommendations at all and most will not advise you in any method whatsoever. They are simply there to tell you what the future holds if you continue on the path you are taking. This is exactly what their skill is so let them use it and do not bother them with concerns about what you need to do about a particular circumstance.

Hi all,
I have a SLES11SP1 Xen Host with 3 VMs. 2 VMs are SLES11SP1 and 1 is a Netware 6.5 SP8 Server.
With NetWare it was easy to bind a secondary IP address. With a normal network interface thats no problem with SLES11SP1 too.
But on a Xen Bridge there is no option to do that permanently.
It's no problem to do that with: ifconfig br0:0 "IP-adress" up
But after a reboot this has to be done again because it's not persistent.
So how can I bind a secondary ip address to the bridge nic permanently on SLES11SP1?
I hope that somebody can help me.

Teaching is not easy. Sometimes, keeping passion high as a teacher is a challenge, but networking and listening to inspiring speakers with like-minded individuals can help.

'Downton Abbey' Ending After Season Six; Movie Is a Possibility [UPDATE]
Posted on Thursday, March 26th, 2015 by Germain Lussier
UPDATE: This news originally ran on Monday but there's a new twist. A movie has now been mentioned as a possibly. Read more below.
For me, Downton Abbey just kind of happened. I'd heard some chatter about this British period drama people were raving about and, one night, I just popped the pilot on via Netflix. Instantly, I was hooked. The sharp writing, the dynamic characters and fascinating juxtaposition of a wealthy family and their servants had everything you could want in television: humor, suspense, romance, you name it. I've been a fan ever since and I'm not ashamed to say I've shed a tear or two at the show.
That'll likely happen again next year. Word has come down that season six, which will air later this year in the United Kingdom before airing on PBS in the States in January 2016, will be the final season of Downton Abbey. Read More »

We need to distinguish approval rule behaviour based on whether a standard purchase order line is associated to a source agreement (CPA) document or not.
I was surprised to not see something like 'Source Agreement Number' as an available attribute in the purchasing document approval rules. If it was we could have used something like 'Source Agreement Number is not null'.
Is there any way to differentiate betwen orders assignd to CPAs or not? Has anyone else had this requirement and found a way round it?
Note - I notice that source agreement fields are available in requisition approvals so not quite sure why they dont seem to be available for PO approval. I have also found an existing ER for this (2365097) that has ben open for a few years
The closest you can get to is to use the following attribute.
All Lines Negotiated
This attribute returns true if all order lines are flagged as negotiated. The lines are flagged as negotiated if they are sourced from a blanket or a punch out with negotiated prices or was the result of a negotiation award.
Could you elaborate on your scenario a bit more?
Hi Suman,
We got the exact same requirement to route purchase order sfor approval depending on if a contract agreement is referenced or not ? And we are struggling to locate a suitable determinant attribute in the PO approval rules.
We think 'All lines Negotiatied' is not a reliable attribute as system allow to have CPA reference even if negotiated flag is unchecked. Is there any other attribute that can be used, please guide ?
We plan to use Contract agreements to record an approval for an estimated spend against a service provider over a quarter. Having CPA reference on the PO would indicate that the PO is tracked under that budget and hence needs to be treated differently for approval.
Found a very similar enhancement request in the idea lab, have update it with our use case details.

Our English for Olympic Volunteers course gives you a chance to improve your English in preparation for volunteering at any Olympic or Paralympic event, and an insight into the many (non financial) rewards of being a volunteer.
"Volunteers are 'the face' of the Olympics", and volunteers from all over the world will be welcomed at Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022.
London is an Olympic city. We are the only city to host the games 3 times and London 2012 is widely considered to be the best Olympics to date. One of the main reasons it was so special was because of the people working there, the volunteers – or the "games makers" as they were commonly known.
We have a very special language and culture course adapted for the needs of people volunteering for the Olympics, especially Tokyo 2020. You will learn about London's Olympic heritage, visit various Olympic sites across the city and will have a chance to experience the atmosphere which made 2012 so unique.
You will take part in a specialist language course, learning the language necessary for volunteering at the Olympics while also learning about the organisation that went in, behind the scenes, to make London 2012 such a success. You will also get to meet London 2012 volunteers who will tell you, in English, about their own personal experience being games makers for the event. Afternoon tea, a dinner night and 2 Saturday excursions outside London are also included in the package. It is a great way for you to see the best of London and prepare yourself for a once in a lifetime experience at the Olympics.
The course will be running twice in 2019:

Express Your Love by Purchasing Engagement and Wedding Rings Online
In life, symbolism is evident in everything we do, and this is especially true when a person commits their love and devotion to another because they offer a guarantee of marriage. The tradition of giving and exchanging engagement rings and wedding bands is a one that's rich in symbolism and one that's been carried on for centuries. As time has changed, so has the purchasing patterns and consumer traditions. The custom of exchanging vows as a sign of love and devotion remains one that can be practiced in many civilizations. Specific aspects of marriage and engagement have changed with time. However, whereas previously a few would take some excursions together as they hunted for the best engagement rings or wedding rings, now, a growing number of people are buying engagement rings nz, wedding bands and wedding rings on the internet.
The World Wide Web has facilitated easy access to a global market, and couples today know that they have more choices available to them from the comforts of their homes. Some couples even go to the extreme of not only buying engagement rings, wedding bands and wedding rings online but also purchasing flowers, wedding gowns and even in taking part in virtual weddings. Here's a series of events that has resulted in these changes and here are some of the things that modern couples can expect when preparing for a wedding.
The custom of a man offering his bride to be an engagement ring as a promise of love and affection started almost two centuries ago in the USA. Most folks associate the giving of engagement rings New Zealand with a desire to express commitment and understanding forever. The usage of engagement rings to express one's love, and affection is a tradition that's instilled in the hearts and minds of the majority of people. This is partly because of the heavy marketing and advertising from manufacturers of diamond rings and other jewelry.
Once a couple has decided to walk down the aisle; the next step is to purchase wedding rings. As there are many kinds to choose from, It's helpful to understand what distinguishes one wedding ring from another. There are many tips that you could follow to make sure that you buy wedding bands that are suitable to your budget and preferences. First, customers should remember that it is worth it to do some research. The best advice for those looking for wedding rings is patience. Couples should take some time to shop around and analyze different wedding bands and have an idea about what they're searching for. Often, customers compromise as they feel that they cannot find what they want in time for the wedding.

Made it!
I made it through most of the Opening Ceremonies, but started to get tired of it during the walking of the athletes. I managed to do my practice swatch and cast on. This is my first time using circular needles. I tried warming them up and stretching them out, but they still are curly. Thank goodness I have a relatively large project so they should stretch out. I am doing a baby blanket using a basketweave pattern. How did everybody else fair?

Fourth of July is around the corner – fireworks, barbeques, games, swimming, camping and all those other wonderful outside summertime activities, and mosquitos. For those of us who are mosquito magnets and looking for a safer alternative to DEET, there are personal insect repellents containing botanicals like citronella, basil, lavender, geranium, lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary, cedarwood, and tea tree. While these are mildly effective, the longest lasting and most effective botanical is Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, according to the Environmental Working Group. (The Environmental Working Group is a consumer watchdog organization dedicated to protecting human health and the environment.) In fact, the CDC recently confirmed that Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus can be as effective as DEET in repelling mosquitoes.
Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus is a plant-based repellent oil made from the leaves of the Eucalyptus Citriodora tree from tropical northeastern Australia. A 30% concentration of Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (with 19% PMD, a naturally occurring substance) provides up to 6 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks.
Repel makes a Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent Pump Spray and is available on-line. I prefer to support local cottage businesses selling insect repellents at my local Farmers' Market. Check yours to buy some too. When buying a mosquito repellent, always read the ingredients to make sure they include Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (not to be confused with eucalyptus).
For more ideas for mosquito control, click here.
Summer goes by quickly – don't let mosquitos and ticks keep you inside!
Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus is not for use on children 3 and younger, can possibly irritate lungs and has possible allergens.

According to my calendar, today is "Eat Your Vegetables Day" (who designates these days?!) While everyday should be "eat your vegetables (and fruit) day", it's always good to bring awareness to the importance of healthy, seasonal eating.
By eating with the rhythms of the season, Mother Nature provides us with just about everything we need. Take watermelon, tomatoes and strawberries for example. Their high water content helps to keep us hydrated and protects and preserves skin cells so the skin is tighter, smoother and better able to retain moisture. Their high lycopene content is a powerful antioxidant and helps ward off sunburn. A health and wellness coach I know calls these fruits "edible sunscreen". When are watermelons, strawberries, and tomatoes in season? In summer, when we need it most!
Nectarines and cherries are also summer fruits, which contain nutrients that help correct sun damage from the inside out. They contain vitamins and minerals that control inflammation and free radical damage. Cherries contain inflammation-fighting anthocyanins and melatonin, which may boost UV protection and encourage cell growth.
Cucumbers are 96% water and contain most of the vitamins and minerals you need everyday. Take them along on your kayak or bicycle outing – they make a great energy boosting snack and help keep you hydrated even better than sports drinks. Cucumber is especially beneficial for the skinwhen eaten or put directly on your skin. (Rub a slice of cucumber on your cellulite and wrinkles to tighten the skin.) Celery is another nutrient rich summer vegetable high in water content. Green leafy vegetables are full of powerful beneficial nutrients that are good for just about everything! Loaded with potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory proprieties, it's important to eat them everyday.
In this abundant time of year, summer fruits and vegetables are the perfect way to stay hydrated and cool and maybe ward off a sunburn! And nothing tastes better or is better for you than fresh, local fruits and vegetables. Make everyday "eat your vegetables day".

This Memorial Day weekend, make your cookout eco-correct. How? It's easy….
Think outside the burgers/hot dogs/potato chips box and focus on healthier options instead – turkey tips, wild fish, grilled tofu, grilled veggies, grass-fed beef, free range chicken, sweet potato chips and lots of different salads made with organic fruits and vegetables. Farmers' markets aren't up and running yet, but you can still buy fresh, seasonal, and somewhat local fruits and vegetables. Perhaps you have lettuce ready for harvesting from your own garden. Add delicious and nutritious vine ripened tomatoes and watermelon to your meal – they contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, which also wards off sunburn!
When it comes to grilling, a charcoal chimney is an easy way to start your grill and much safer than lighter fluid if you don't have a gas grill. Make sure you use natural, hardwood charcoal instead of the conventional briquettes. Try filling at least half your grill with produce. Produce is not only healthy and low-calorie, but also doesn't produce the carcinogens that can form on grilled meats. Always cook over a low-to-medium flame and avoid over-charring; flare-ups and smoking oil create carcinogens. Marinating or basting with oil, honey or a barbeque sauce will provide a barrier and help prevent charring.
I prefer reusable dinner plates and utensils, but if you are having a crowd disposable is easier; just make sure they are compostable or made from recycled, BPA-free plastic. Whole Foods carries a good selection of biodegradable disposable plates, cups and utensils. Cloth tablecloths and napkins are a nice touch, but you can easily find recycled paper napkins and cloths at most supermarkets.
Organic, chemical free sunscreen and insect repellents are a much healthier and safer alternative to conventional products. Consider spraying your yard in advance with a garlic spray to ward off mosquitoes. Start your cookout after peak sun time, between 10 and 2, and provide shade for your guests.
Compost leftover fruits and vegetables, and, don't forget to recycle cans, bottles and other recyclable items!
Whatever you do to honor the start of summer, make sure you are good to the earth.

Once you start eating freshly picked vegetables, you realize that's the only way to go. Fortunately, growing your own food, or at least some of your own, is easy to do, even in small spaces.
There are as many ways to garden in small spaces as your imagination will allow, but listed below are a few ideas.
Containers range from traditional clay pots to self-watering ones to antique ice chests and even old work boots. All are perfect for growing herbs or small vegetables, just make sure there is sufficient drainage and good soil.
A raised bed garden is a garden built on top of your native soil. The basic idea of a raised bed is that instead of battling against poor soil conditions, you build above ground where you have absolute control over the soil texture and ingredients. You can make a raised bed garden any size you want and any height. They are easy to weed and easier on your back. Check out the advantageshere.
Vertical growing is also ideal for small spaces, allowing you to actually grow a lot as long as you have enough sun. The idea is to grow up, not out, like with beans, tomatoes, peas and cucumbers, on trellises for example.
Though garden catalogs are filled with expensive vertical growing containers, you can also upcycle things you already have or invest in cheaper things like shoe pockets, a great idea for lettuces and herbs, old pallets or gutters mounted on a fence. Check out this website for fun ideas.
Don't forget sunny window sills, which are perfect for growing herbs, microgreens, and some vegetables like spring onions, even all year long.
Whether you are an apartment dweller with a sunny balcony or a new gardener with a tiny yard, discover the joy and satisfaction of growing your own food. All it takes is sun, good soil, adequate water and a little time. Bon appetit!

After six years of writing "What's Green With Betsy?", my blog post Recipes for Safe Weed, Insect Pests and Disease Control in Your Landscape continues to be my most popular. For those of you who missed it, I am reposting them.
A word about lawns first. Monocultures, like lawns, are not typical in nature and only invite problems. A picture-perfect, weed free lawn has come to symbolize a lawn treated with toxic chemicals. Weeds actually are messengers for what's wrong with the soil. Dandelions, for example, are an indication of a lack of calcium. I say learn to live with a few weeds in the lawn – dandelions actually add a bit of color for a few days and attract honeybees – and throw down some extra grass seed to keep grass lush. But if weeds really bother you or before they overtake a vegetable or flower garden, try some of the solutions listed below.
Recipes for organic weed, insect pests and disease controls compiled from Great Garden Formulas, 1998 Rodale Press, Inc.
A well-placed shot of vinegar right on the plant can thwart dandelions or other broad-leaved weeds. Be careful not to splash it on the turf or any plants you want to keep, because vinegar will kill grassy plants as well. A section of newspaper or cardboard can act as a shield for desirable plants.
Vinegar (as close to 10% acidity as possible)
Dishwashing Liquid (optional)
Pump Spray Bottle
Fill the spray bottle with undiluted vinegar (or mix 3 parts vinegar to 1 part dishwashing liquid). Spray a narrow stream, dousing the weed's leaves and crown (the area at the base of the plant). Rinse the sprayer well with water, especially if it has metal parts because vinegar is corrosive. This is a spot spray only!
Rubbing alcohol is a simple way to kill a weed. Mix it with water and it will dehydrate almost any weed. This also works against spider mites, aphids, and scale, but may require some experimentation to find the right level of effectiveness. Test spray on one leaf to check for burning.
1-quart water
1 (or more) tablespoons rubbing alcohol
Pump spray bottle
Mix water and alcohol in the spray bottle. (Use 1 tablespoon of alcohol for weed seedlings orthin-leaved weeds and 2 tablespoons or more for tougher weeds.) Spray weed leaves thoroughly but lightly. (Avoid surrounding plants.)
Creeping Charlie is a low-growing, yellow-flowered perennial weed that can be a real nuisance in lawns. If you have noticed it in yours, borax can be a very effective weed-killer, particularly in late spring or early summer when weeds are growing most actively.
5 Teaspoons borax, like 20 mule Team Borax, for every 25 square feet of lawn
1-quart water
Pump spray bottle
Mix borax in water. Measure exactly: Too little and it won't kill the weeds, too much and you could kill the grass too. Spray to cover a 25-square foot area. Water and fertilize your turf after the treatment so that it rapidly fills in the space left by the dead weeds.
Brown or yellow rings that die out in your lawn, caused by rhizoctonia fungi, which comes from poor drainage, too much rain and/or too much nitrogen fertilizer, can be treated with this simple solution.
1 rounded tablespoon baking soda or potassium bicarbonate (a better choice since it has less salt)
1-tablespoon horticultural oil
1-gallon water
Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Spray lightly on your lawn. Avoid overuse or drenching the soil.
For a very effective disease and insect fighter, go no further than your kitchen. This concoction works best as a preventative, so spray susceptible plants before disease symptoms start and continue at weekly intervals.
1 ½ tablespoons baking soda
1-tablespoon canola oil
1 cup plus 1 gallon water
1-tablespoon vinegar
Backpack or pump sprayer
Mix the baking soda, soap and oil with 1 cup of water. Add the vinegar. Don't mix the vinegar in until last or the mixture may bubble over. Pour the mixture into the sprayer and add 1 gallon of water. Shake or stir to combine the ingredients. Spray plants, covering the bottoms and tops of the leaves.
If you are a garlic lover, you may want to use this simple recipe to fight diseases and insects on your plants.
3 garlic cloves
A blender
Pump Spray Bottle
Molasses (optional)
Liquefy 3 garlic cloves in a blender that is half-filled with water. Strain out the garlic, then mix the remaining liquid with enough water to make 1 gallon of spicy concentrate. Two tablespoons of molasses will help the mixture adhere to the leaves.
Aphids and other leaf-sucking insects can cause considerable damage if you don't control them. This mixture neutralizes aphids and can also act as a deterrent to ants!
1-pint water
Rind from 1 lemon, grated (or orange or grapefruit rind)
Pump Spray Bottle
Bring the water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the grated lemon rind. Allow the mixture to steep overnight. Strain the mixture through cheesecloth, and pour into the spray bottle. Apply the mixture to plant leaves that are under attack. (This mixture must come in contact with the insects' bodies to be effective.)
Use boiling water to eliminate weeds from sidewalk or driveway cracks. Be careful not to splash it on to neighboring plants or turf.
Teakettle or pan
Boil a full kettle of water. Pour slowly and carefully, dousing both the weeds and the soil immediately surrounding them. You may have to repeat a couple of times.

"It's better to dig a five-dollar hole for a fifty-cent plant than to dig a fifty-cent hole for a five-dollar plant." goes the old garden adage and how true that is. A good plant won't grow in poor soil, but a poor plant will grow in good soil.
Spring means planting and after a long winter, nothing is more exciting than preparing your vegetable garden or potting pansies to liven up your front porch. The key to a healthy and thriving garden is a rich, nutritious soil with the right mix of organic amendments.
Organic amendments vary depending on the need of the soil and the plant. For example, the soil pH may need fixing, or certain plants like roses, azaleas or tomatoes may require specific minerals. Fish, blood or bone meal, charcoal, kelp, humic acids, earthworm castings are some. Or, you can simply supplement your soil with compost, or decomposed organic matter, the most important and beneficial soil amendment. Compost builds soil structure and improves drainage; it helps with water/nutrient retention and air exchange; it introduces beneficial biology; it is vital for healthy roots, and healthy roots produce healthy plants.
Using compost made from your decomposed kitchen waste is gratifying, but if you haven't started composting yet, you can buy good quality compost from a garden center. There are many different types of compost like manure, worm castings or decomposed leaf and wood litter. All are good, just make sure the compost is 3-year finished.
Dig the hole twice the diameter of the root ball of the tree, shrub or plant and then mix the existing soil with the amendments. Don't plant too deep – "plant it high it won't die, plant it low, it won't grow." With extra soil, make a well around the plant to hold water.
It's easy to just throw the plants in the ground without much thought to the soil, but by taking the time to improve your soil, you will get a higher yield from your vegetables, more blooms on your flowers and a better start for your shrubs or trees. Last year, one heirloom tomato plant produced more than 100 tomatoes in my raised bed garden filled with super soil.
So, go play in the dirt with some compost and watch your plants thrive!

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." – Chinese Proverb
The social, aesthetic, and environmental benefits of trees are numerous.
According to American Forests, the national urban tree deficit now stands at more than 634 million trees. Alarmingly, up to 57% of all Amazonian trees, the planet's lungs, may already fit the criteria of being globally threatened. Unprecedented environmental stresses – warmer temperatures, changes in precipitation, increased droughts – and global trade are making trees more susceptible to insect infestation and disease and therefore more difficult to grow and flourish in today's world.
Because trees sequester carbon and offset our carbon footprint, the amount of energy a person consumes in their day-to-day activities, it is more important than ever to plant trees. The average person produces 26 tons of CO2 per year. 6 twenty-five year old pine trees absorb 1 ton of CO2. 36 twenty-five year old maple trees absorb 1 ton of CO2.
Planting trees is a way to give back to the environment for future generations and to offset our carbon footprint. Spring is the perfect time to plant. Plant a tree for a new grandchild, in memory of a parent or a beloved pet, or to honor a special anniversary. If you have no place to plant a tree,americanforests.org will plant a tree in your name with a small donation. Makes a great gift too!

Spring is here! Whether it feels like it or not, there is a psychological lift to just spotting a crocus or a daffodil and knowing that winter is officially over. It may be too early to start gardening, but it's not too early to start a thorough spring-cleaning!
If you don't already use non-toxic cleaners, now is the time to switch! Indoor air pollution, partially caused by the use of chemical based cleaners, is a much more serious problem than people realize and one of the reasons for increased cases of asthma and allergies, among other diseases. Fortunately you can find several brands of greener, ''cleaner" cleaning supplies at your local grocery store; many of the conventional brands are now making a less toxic product as well. Be sure to read the ingredients though; some products claim to be "natural" when they really aren't. Visit Environmental Working Group's Cleaners database to check the toxicity of your brand and for the lowest toxicity cleaners. Seventh Generation, Mrs. Myers, Ecover, are a few good ones. Remember, you really don't need a different product for each surface in your home. That's just marketing.
Making your own cleaning supplies using baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice is a fun and easy option too! Baking soda cleans nearly everything from stained kitchen sinks to mildewed showers to tea stained coffee mugs to flatware to fruit or even teeth, and it's cheap! White vinegar works great on hardwood floors. Easy, long-lasting microfiber cloths lift off dirt, dust and grime with no need for additional products. Don't be fooled into thinking that if there is no "clean" smell, then it's not effective – fragrances are part of the chemical danger. (Organic cleaners with safe, natural essential oils are an exception.)
All-Purpose Cleaner: Mix 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup baking soda (or 2 teaspoons borax) into 1/2 gallon (2 liters) water. Store and keep. Use for removal of water deposit stains on shower stall panels, bathroom chrome fixtures, windows, bathroom mirrors, countertops etc. Keep out of reach of children.

Now more than ever acquiring possessions, and lots of them, is convenient and cheap. We are bombarded with advertisements, on average about 3000 per day, telling us we need to buy new furniture, clothes, electronics, appliances, personal care products, sports equipment, etc., which can be bought for incredibly low prices online or at megastores like Walmart, Costco or Marshalls, to name a few.
There are hidden costs though for purchasing things so cheaply. The accessibility of such affordable items makes accumulating "stuff" so easy that we often end up with things we don't need, that have to be managed, and thrown away into the landfill. In order to keep prices down, manufacturers often employ underage workers overseas who are poorly paid and work in unsafe conditions. Quality is usually compromised and manufactured with planned obsolescence so that we are constantly replacing things, creating more waste for the landfill.
A reader referred me to a new website called buymeonce.com, which finds and promotes durable, reasonably priced, quality products which last. Started in January by a young British entrepreneur with a mission to "throw away our throw away culture", BuyMeOnce doesn't sell directly to the consumer, but rather provides links to the manufacturer or retail sites. BuyMeOnce encourages people to buy just a few great things, to take care of the things they have, and challenges manufacturers to make products that last.
While consumerism is good for the economy, it's time to purchase more responsibly. Ask yourself some questions before you buy something. Where was the product manufactured and under what conditions? How will my purchase impact the environment? Do I really need the high impulse item at the checkout counter? Am I better off spending a little more for a quality item that lasts longer? The average person makes 4 ½ pounds of garbage a day and America creates 30% of the world's waste. Make it a goal to lessen your waste with more thoughtful purchasing. Check outbuymeonce.com.

I saw Lule in the street with a group of students. All of them were boys. They were outside her flat, standing on the pavement. There was a kind of shape about them, this little, male crowd and Lule. I thought they were going somewhere. A boy said they were going up to Lule's. It was the student she had kissed. He suggested I come too. It was nice of him.
She hadn't told me about the party. When the boy did, she looked annoyed. Stop taking liberties. It's one of the clearest memories I have, Lule's face when he asked me along. The school owned the flat. I'd been before, but not while she was there. She didn't want me now. It's the only reason I went. Along with the kissing business.
We sat in the living room. There were half a dozen boys, Romeo in one place and Lule in another, studiously apart – if there'd been a kiss. Perhaps there hadn't. Liddie could have made it up. If she did, it was her finest lie.
The boy was more at ease than anyone. So confident. It's why you kiss a boy, or what comes from kissing. Not just kissing Lule, but there was something else. She didn't speak to him, not once, even when she stopped looking cross. If her eyes came close to his, they lightly passed by. It wasn't accidental. But she didn't speak to me, either. Has she ever kissed me?
We were drinking heavily. Lule pointed out, with a proud chuckle, that Albanians were drinkers too. Someone mentioned the police state. She said Albanians were happy.
"No one leaves."
"They're too drunk to find the border." It's the only thing I remember saying. She was annoyed again. The Greek boys shook with laughter. The one she kissed laughed loudest. I can see his quivering face. Laughter makes a difference. I started to enjoy the party.
At the cram school, complaints were being made about Lule. She wasn't teaching anything. The director asked me to talk to her. He didn't want to lose students. He was also a coward. He should have talked to her himself. I was a coward too. I should have said no.
When I mentioned the complaints, she looked surprised. I'm not sure what surprised her more, hearing that students had complained, or hearing it from me. It wasn't fair on Lule. She was teaching things. It must have been the girls who complained. Anyway, she didn't listen. There were more complaints. I mark pupils' work. I'm not very good at correcting women.
Lule was sacked at the end of the year. She booked the coach to Athens. A small group was there to see her off, no students, mainly teachers. A Greek man was there as well. I'd never seen him. He was older than her students. He looked like an official lover. I was still learning things about Lule.
They spoke confidentially until the coach arrived. Then he walked over to another teacher, one of the English girls, and started talking to her. She didn't seem to know him. Lule was holding her suitcase, ready to board the coach. He could have waited till she'd gone. He could have kissed her, said goodbye at the last moment, done the things that boyfriends do. But when the coach left, the girl would too. He mightn't get another chance. Feigning warmth for Lule was no use now. He could lose them both.
I didn't want Lule pining over him. She might have been the pining sort. I said, so everyone could hear, "He's not wasting much time."
Of all the things I said to Lule, or said and did when I was next to her, this was the cruellest.
"I don't blame him," she muttered.

Yeah I spent five days there. Honestly, it wasn't a very rewarding trip. That NHO and one other were the only owls I saw, after being assured over and over how Sax-Zim Bog in February was can't-miss for great greys.

Talents to Share
She lay in a ball on the sofa, blanket wrapped tightly around her nine-year old body. I had called the school that morning to inform them she was home sick with a fever. The ibuprofen I gave her had been doing its job, giving us both the illusion that she was not so sick anymore.
She was holding out hope that she would be cleared to go to school the next morning. It would be the last day before Spring Break, the annual all-school talent show. She had tried out and made it into the program.
But when I saw her laying there on the sofa in the late-afternoon sun, we both knew the fever was back.
"How are you feeling?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
She stood up, blanket draped over her shoulders like a royal fleece robe and in a trembling voice spoke the words we both wished were not true.
"I don't feel good." she said, voice full of emotion. "I'm not going to be able to go to school am I?" and then with tears in her eyes came the words, "Mom, I just wanted to share my talent."
I held her tight and tried to come up with some kind of consolation prize, the promise of movies on the sofa falling short.
She has since moved on and accepted her fate. She will probably be able to share her talent with her music class, it is something, even if its not quite the same.
Her desire to share her talent challenged me. It wasn't a boastful, proud desire. It was a child-like knowing that she had been given a talent and talents are meant to be shared. Not over-thought, not hidden, not held back because of fear or doubt or worry over what others might think.
The truth is simple, no matter how I like to complicate it: We have all been given talents to share.

Dating in pairs can be a great idea if you are looking for something to ease the pressures of a first-time date. Even for couples who have known each other for a long time, a double date can make for an enjoyable evening of love and laughter. Here are some double date ideas which can bring friends and couples closer.
Go bowling
Bowling is one of those few activities which is greater fun among two or more couples than for one. This is why perhaps couples' bowling leagues are one of the most popular double dating ideas. In fact some bowling alleys offer attractive discounts for larger groups and you can even split the food among friends.
Game Night
A gaming marathon makes for a great double date idea when you are stuck indoors due to bad weather or cost-cutting compulsions. Have each member bring over their favorite board games like Scrabble and Monopoly or suggest active games that they enjoy like Twister and Charades. Keep an array of wafers and munchies within easy reach so that everyone has something to snack on when awaiting their turn at the game. With general consent you can even put on some lively music in the background but just make sure that it does not interfere with the game. However if playing a game like poker, it would be a better idea to play for chips and not money. Also play for fun rather than to win if someone is new to the game.
Movie marathon
If both couples share a passion for movies, what better way to plan a date than by deciding to watch two movies back to back. If you want to make this really special, dress up and catch the movies at the theaters. However it might be a good idea to make the bookings beforehand since theaters playing box office hits can quickly run out of tickets. On the other hand if you and the other couple don't wish to spend a bomb on movie tickets, rent your favorite DVDs and watch them at your home theater system. Don't forget to make enough popcorn to last through one movie after which you can take a pizza break and get comfy for another one.
Scavenger Hunt
If you have had enough of the indoors, go on a scavenger hunt for your double date. For this, each couple would need to create a scavenger hunt for the other, with items and landmarks to find within a predefined location like a shopping mall or your hometown. After finding the items or completing the tasks, each couple would take pictures and then meet at set location and time. The couple with the most pictures would be the winners and get treated to dinner by the other couple. Choose this double date idea only if both couples like competitive activities or you and your partner like completing tasks as a team.
Ice Skating
For the times when you are a loss for things to do due to bad weather, call up a good friend and decide on ice skating for a double date. It will make a good change from being stuck indoors with a deck of cards and the sensation of gliding on ice, arm-in-arm with your partner can be matched by little else. To include more variety, you could even try to play a bit of two-on-two ice hockey. If you don't have an outdoor ice-skating rink nearby, you can check out local colleges and high schools to see if they allow guests to use their facility over the weekends. However don't forget to follow up your foursome skating session with a visit to a café for a cup of steaming espresso or any other warm beverage.
Outdoor activities
Take advantage of the summer by planning to go sailing or biking on a sunny afternoon. Enquire beforehand about sailing or biking rentals and routes that you can take without entering private property or dangerous zones. Such activities are not only more fun in another couple's company but in fact safer too because of the presence of greater numbers. Pack along a picnic hamper with food and beverages and plan to stop for a lunch break once you can find a nice shady spot.
Winery tour
For couples over twenty-one who share a common interest in fine wines, a winery tour can make for a unique double date idea. Plan a day trip to a nearby vineyard where you can not only ramble through rows of delightful hanging vines but also get to taste and appreciate varieties of wines being distilled at the winery. Most famous wineries arrange for tasting tours for guests. And even if you do not live within easy access to a vineyard, perhaps you could visit a local brewery instead. Alternatively, look out for wine-tasting events scheduled from time to time in most major cities which allow wine lovers to indulge their tastebuds. Such events when attended in company of like-minded people can make for hugely satisfying social experiences.
Music Festival
Unlike a concert, most music festivals feature an eclectic line-up which ensures that there is something to suit each person's taste in music. So book tickets for four to an outdoor music festival that is packed with bands and performers from all genres so that you all are bound to have a great time. If food is permitted from outside, take along a picnic basket with packed goodies or else make the most of cafes and food kiosks at the festival to fill up from within.
Potluck picnic
If both couples are comfortable with each other, for once leave things unstructured and - weather permitting - simply decide to spend a day at the park. Decide on a potluck lunch and let each member of the party bring one item of food. Play Frisbee, fly a kite, strum a guitar or whatever else that interests the group. You will probably be surprised to find the day come to an end so soon even though you apparently didn't do anything.

Understanding long‐term coexistence of numerous competing species is a longstanding challenge in ecology. Progress requires determining which processes and species differences are most important for coexistence when multiple processes operate and species differ in many ways. Modern coexistence theory (MCT), formalized by Chesson, holds out the promise of doing that, but empirical applications remain scarce. We argue that MCT's mathematical complexity and subtlety have obscured the simplicity and power of its underlying ideas and hindered applications. We present a general computational approach that extends our previous solution for the storage effect to all of standard MCT's spatial and temporal coexistence mechanisms, and also process‐defined mechanisms amenable to direct study such as resource partitioning, indirect competition, and life history trade‐offs. The main components are a method to partition population growth rates into contributions from different mechanisms and their interactions, and numerical calculations in which some mechanisms are removed and others retained. We illustrate how our approach handles features that have not been analyzed in the standard framework through several case studies: competing diatom species under fluctuating temperature, plant–soil feedbacks in grasslands, facilitation in a beach grass community, and niche differences with independent effects on recruitment, survival and growth in sagebrush steppe.

The Cotton Board has hired Christi Chadwell and Shelley Heinrich as new Regional Communication Managers (RCMs) for the southwestern regions of the Cotton Belt.
Chadwell will serve as the Southwest RCM, with a territory including central and south Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Heinrich will serve as the Southern Plains RCM, covering north Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma. Both will transition closely with the current Southwest RCM, Bob Stanley, who is retiring in October.
The Cotton Board's RCMs work to ensure that stakeholders of the Cotton Research and Promotion Program in their respective territories are informed of the activities stemming from the Program as conducted by Cotton Incorporated and administered by the Cotton Board. The RCMs visit producers in the field, speak at industry meetings, participate in trade shows, and coordinate producer tours of Cotton Incorporated.
Chadwell, who joins The Cotton Board on August 23, currently serves as the Communications and Recruiting Coordinator for the Plant and Soil Science Department at Texas Tech University, where she also organizes the Texas International Cotton School. She holds a master's degree in Agricultural Communications from Texas Tech University and currently resides in Lubbock, TX.
"I'm excited to join a dynamic group of individuals with such a positive impact on the cotton industry," said Chadwell. "I'm looking forward to being able to interact with producers, give them insight into the groundbreaking research and promotion being done in the industry, and work alongside so many other great organizations."
Before joining The Cotton Board in mid-July, Heinrich, from Slaton, TX, served as the Development Director for National Sorghum Producers, where she helped build successful relationship programs with both industry and producers. Heinrich also serves on the board for the Bayer Museum of Agriculture in Lubbock and on the Lubbock County Ag Committee.
"I'm looking forward to traveling across my territory and meeting as many cotton producers as possible," said Heinrich. "Bob Stanley has been an instrumental industry leader for many years. I look forward to following in his footsteps and continuing to serve and educate producers about the many benefits of the Program so they are better positioned to maximize their opportunities."
Other Cotton Board RCMs are Monty Bain, Southeast RCM, covering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia; and Brent Murphree, Mid-South RCM, covering Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee.
