We recently made a decision to bump up our food storage from keeping three months on hand to twelve months. Something that we started even when having three months of storage was a Heat and Eat Bin. In my Introduction to Food Storage: Why? post I told you about our real life experience of being without power for several days. Not only were we without power but almost the entire county was without power. The grocery stores were either closed or extremely limited and the restaurants were closed.
The house we then lived in was entirely electric. When the power went out our ability to cook foods also went out. We did have a camp trailer with a stove/oven and a small camp stove so that was helpful. With our cooking options being outside of our home quick to cook items were very helpful. We were still on a Standard American Diet in those days so I had plenty of Heat and Eat options for our meals.
These days, most of the food we eat is prepared from 'scratch'. While many of our meals can be created rather quickly the bulk of our food is things that require planning ahead. And a good portion of it requires extensive cooking times. Because I wanted to have some foods on hand that are for 'emergency' needs we decided we needed a Heat and Eat Bin.
My Plan for the Bin
I think it is important to remember that canned food overall has less nutrition than fresh food. Many real food enthusiasts choose to never eat food from a can. If that's you, then you probably do not want to create a Heat and Eat Bin.
For us, this truly is a bin. I had one of those large Rubbermaid style containers that became designated as the Heat and Eat Bin. In this bin are foods that require no preparation other than opening up the can or jar and (sometimes) heating up the contents. The foods in this bin are 'convenience' style foods. They are not the foods we eat every day. One reason for the foods to live in the bin is to keep them out of the every day foods.
While these are convenience foods, they are foods that I purchased after scouring the ingredient list and deciding they were okay for the intended purposes. The intended purpose is for 'emergency' use.
That emergency may be a power outage. However, depending on the duration of the outage the bin may or may not come into play. Our outage that I linked about lasted from Sunday until Friday. Using that scenario, we would first eat from any foods that were in our fridge before busting into the Heat and Eat Bin. If there was an event that left the possibility of a longer term power outage then the heat and eat foods would be welcome during that time of transition. I don't want to sound too much like I need a tin-foil hat but if some large regional event happened to knock the power out long term, not having to think about meals for a couple of days could be helpful. Again, the nutrition of canned goods is lower so having a good supply of ferments (sauerkraut, pickles, etc) can help with that. I share how fermenting works in our food storage plan in this post.
Another great thing about having the bin is that it is portable. If we were ever in a situation where we needed to leave home in a hurry, we could grab our heat and eat bin and our camping bin (which happen to be conveniently located right next to each other). These can be a great addition to a 72 hour bag.
Not sure what a 72 hour bag is? A 72 hour bag is a collection of basic items your family may need in the event of an emergency. FEMA recommends having a kit of your own food, water and other supplies to last 72 hours in case you need to survive on your own after an emergency. This kit should be portable (it is often referred to as a Bug Out Bag or BOB) in case you need to evacuate. To learn more about building your own real food style 72 hour kit you will want to listen to this podcast from The Living Kitchen/Cooking TF.
The Heat and Eat Bin can also be quite convenient for times when I'm under the weather and someone else is cooking. One thing we have noticed is that while the foods are okay they are certainly not as tasty as foods we prepare ourselves. Originally I had thought the children might be tempted to open a can of soup as a snack (that is part of the reason for stashing them in a bin) but after eating a can recently, Lulu declared it to not taste as good as she expected. She didn't go as far as saying my cooking is better but it was still nice to hear. 😉
What kind of things are in the bin?
I'm glad you asked. We have canned salmon, sardines in tomato sauce, tuna, black beans, red beans, greens and assorted soups. We also have oatmeal even though this doesn't really fall under the strict rules of heat and eat, since we need to add water to it but it is close enough (plus I do have stored water). I'm also planning to add a few more things to the bin that break the Heat and Eat rules slightly. I'm totally enthralled with dehydrating right now and love the ideas from Backpacking Chef. And in January my friend Wardee from GNOWFGLINS is starting a new eCourse all about dehydrating. I always learn so much in her eCourses that I'm sure it will be great. I see lots of great opportunities to improve our Heat and Eat Bin selections.
Since FEMA recommends a three day supply of food for emergency kits that is where we started with our Heat and Eat bin. Just like with all food storage it is important to rotate these items. Since this bin contains things we do not eat from regularly, I make sure to check the bin each year when I clean out the freezer (usually late July to early August) and check the expiration dates. Anything that will expire before the next year check gets pulled out and put on a shelf in the kitchen to use. New items are purchased for the bin on the next shopping trip. While these expiration dates are not the date the product is no longer safe to use it just makes sense to us to keep things current.
Also in the bin are miscellanous items like a can opener, disposable dishes and silverware, salt, pepper, a roll of toilet paper and a jug of water. These things are there specifically in case of needing to take the bin and go. Our camping bin does have some of the same items in it also but if it were to be left behind and we didn't have a can opener then it might be challenging to get our salmon open!
Do you need a Heat and Eat Bin as part of your food storage?
Maybe or maybe not. You may choose to keep your three day emergency food only in your BOB or just in your cabinets. But it is smart to have three days of emergency food somewhere. If you are not comfortable with canned foods then you will need to find an alternative. Jerky and/or pemican plus other dehydrated items might work for you. Again, I highly recommend the podcast from The Living Kitchen/Cooking TF to give you ideas for your own emergency kit/Bug Out Bag. While I think having a BOB is very important I won't be putting up a post on it since the podcast is so much better than anything I could write up.
Have you put together a Bug Out Bag or other sort of emergency kit? What tips can you offer?

The fibres from the husk of the coconut undergo a complex process of transformation before being dyed, plaited and bundled into rolls of varying sizes. Traditionally, the cords were used to bind the internal architecture of Fijian houses, an art form called lalawa. A modern interpretation of lalawa can be seen adorning the pillars of this gallery.

Need 'recipes' files for book => "Dreamweaver MX 2004 Web Applications Recipes"
Does anyone have the source files for the above book. I recently purchased this book due to its having just what I need (as a beginner, I need to crawl before I can walk). However WebAssist no longer supports this book, nor do they provide a link to these older source files for use with the book.
If you have these older source files, could you ZIP them and send to me ?

There are a few items on this site that cover color ramps and other color manipulation topics. I've built up a few snippets on color management in VBA so I thought I should centralize them for easy reference. There is a Google Apps Script of most of this stuff on this site also. See Playing around with GAS color
Getting started with color
Let's start with a few of the color concepts that we'll use in the functions I'm going to show you. All the functions mentioned can be found in the usefulColorStuff module of the cDataSet.xlsm workbook.
The RGB color model is covered here and is the simplest representation of color model, whose main usage is for the specification of color on electronic devices such as computer screens. The combination of values ranging from 0-255 for each of the colors red, green and blue (hence RGB) leads to a particular color. In VBA these can be combined with the RGB(r,g,b) function to produce a single number which can be applied, for example as the background color of a cell. That gives a possible range of 0-16777215 different colors, where rgb(255,255,255) = 16777215 - the color white, and rgb(0,0,0) gives 0 - the color black.
For web design, these color codes are normally represented as hexadecimal, from #0 to #ffffff, made up of the hex values for #red.green.blue. One thing to watch out for is that the order of bytes is reversed from the natural VBA order.
For example hex(rgb(255,0,0)) is #ff but the hexHtml representation for rgb(255,0,0) is #ff0000. The byte order is imply reversed. Here are some functions to convert back and forwards to RGB
Luma is a measure of light in a color that can be used to determine whether there is a good contrast between two colors. I use it to pick the color of text I should use given a background color.
Contrast ratio
This is the ratio of contrast between 2 colors. The w3 organization has recommendations on suitable contrast ratios that improve legibility.
10:1 is recommended for text/background combinations. Here's a small clip of some pantone colors as a background showing the contrast ratio of various white and black text (its the last column) .
You can see it gets harder to read the low contrast ratios.
Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, Black (the k of cymk), is another color representation model that is used in printing systems. If you look at the ink colors in your printer you'll see that typically they are these colors. Whereas RGB was an additive system (red, green, blue adding together to eventually make white at maximum values), cymk is a subtractive system (maximum values are black). When you consider that CYMK is about printing, and a blank sheet of paper is white this makes sense.
This is a very different color model to RGB and there is not a direct mapping, but here's an approximation of how to convert between the two
p.black = min(1 - p.red / 255, 1 - p.green / 255, 1 - p.blue / 255)
If p.black < 1 Then
p.cyan = (1 - p.red / 255 - p.black) / (1 - p.black)
p.magenta = (1 - p.green / 255 - p.black) / (1 - p.black)
p.yellow = (1 - p.blue / 255 - p.black) / (1 - p.black)
End If
This is a model based on Hue, saturation and lightness. Hue is 0- 360, and saturation and lightness is a percentage. Acknowledgement to http://www.easyrgb.com/ for the algorithm.
Text color
Although you can figure out contrasting colors by manipulating the r,g and b values, I think it's better to use just black and white, and deciding on which by the value of the luminance - high luminance, use black, low, use white.
Colorprops custom type.
Since all these can be useful and are straightforward to calculated, I use a custom type to store them all in. That way I can other color spaces as I need to without disturbing much. So far the type looks like this
Public Type colorProps
' this is a single type to hold everything i know how to calculate about a color
rgb As Long
red As Long
green As Long
blue As Long
htmlHex As String
textColor As Long
luminance As Double
contrastRatio As Double
cyan As Double
magenta As Double
yellow As Double
black As Double
hue As Double
saturation As Double
lightness As Double
End Type
The color table
In the cDataSet.xlsm workbook (colorTable tab), there is a large table of colors. These are Pantone colors, html colors, dulux paint colors and various others. I'll be adding to them over time, but also creating a REST queryable source that will allow you look up colors by type and name. Here's the headings and the beginning of that table
The 4th column onwards were all calculated using the formulas described above. To understand the code below you'll probably need to be familiar with Data Manipulation Classes, which are used for excel data abstraction. Pretty straightforward usage for the purposes of this.

By Danielle Davis, Bayonet & Saber /
The 198th Infantry Brigade honored their selfless volunteers June 15 with a recognition luncheon at the Regimental Chapel on Sand Hill.
"There are so many volunteers that don't want to be recognized. They work so hard every week," said Chaplain (Maj.) Sang-Joon Won about the 198th Infantry Brigade's decision to organize the luncheon.
"We have three groups. There's religious program volunteers who are civilians that come from off post to help, 198th Soldiers and Families who provide services at Sand Hill, and we have Soldiers and Families that provide services for the community," he continued.
"We just want to recognize them and show everybody that this organization cannot exist without the volunteers' assistance. They're a great asset," Won added.
Chaplain (Capt.) James Burke, 198th Infantry Brigade, said, "It's important to recognize our volunteers here at the 198th Infantry Brigade and each battalion. So many people do so much."
These people can easily go unnoticed. People need to know about the time and effort that they commit outside of their jobs and Families to serve the community, Burke added.
Sue Pate and her husband were among those recognized. They volunteer with the Columbus, Georgia, stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints.
"We enjoyed working out here with the Soldiers. It's so nice that they're allowed the time to come to church on Sunday. We feel like it really helps the Soldiers during the week to have this religious meeting on Sunday. We're happy to do it. We love it," Pate said.
Pate and her husband travel to Fort Benning every Sunday and conduct a service with Soldiers who are in basic training who aren't allowed to leave the post.
"I think it's a good program that we have here, helping the Soldiers feed their spiritual side. We want to help make them stronger and let them know that we appreciate them," added Clay Coleman, who has volunteered with The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints for the past three years.
"Being recognized for the services that you render for the people out here is great," he continued.
Sgt. Keith Pretlow, a chaplain assistant for the 198th Infantry Brigade, who was recognized for his time volunteering with the Muscogee County Juvenile Drug and Abuse Court, has been working with them since 2014.
"If I'd had someone to coach me along during my troubled time then I wouldn't have had to go through half of the things that I did. That's why I do it," he said.
Taalo Lauofo and his son Milton were also recognized at the luncheon.
"My wife and I pastor a service here at Sand Hill for the initial military training Soldiers. We've been doing it for the last four years. We have been doing it at the Rec Center," said Lauofo.
Lauofo said that he and his wife like to help the IMT Soldiers spiritually.
"They come here for training and we like to offer them that comfort by the word of God. A drill sergeant does (his) job building them up physically and we're here to build them up spiritually. We believe that if we build them up spiritually, the rest will fall in place," he added.
Gretchen Simmons was also recognized at the luncheon. Simmons has been a volunteer with the 198th Infantry Brigade for two years. She works with a number of programs, including Santa's Castle and the Boy Scouts.
"I volunteer because I want to help out in the community," Simmons said.
She considers her time volunteering with Santa's Castle the most rewarding.
"Last year, we provided over 700 kids with a Christmas. They're children of service members," Simmons added.

By Lina Taylor, 2x Olympian in Beach Volleyball
With transfer rates reaching epidemic proportions among student athletes in collegiate sports, a natural question arises: are coaches and athletes doing enough on the front end to ensure a good fit? To answer this question, we must uncover the definition of what is a "good fit."
1. Know what you want (and what you don't want)
One of the biggest mistakes high school athletes make when they start the college selection process is to have the mindset: "I'll go to any school that will give me a scholarship."
While it may feel that college coaches have all of the power in the process and you are at their mercy, putting thought into what you want your college experience to be is key to ensuring a good fit (and keeping yourself from becoming a transfer statistic).
Spend time thinking what is important to you – does the program create a good team environment, where everyone contributes or do they seem to favor "star players"? This question alone can tell you a ton about how much playing time you can expect to get.
Other things to consider: graduation rates, availability of academic and career advisors, personal values and faith, alumni association (you will spend 4-5 years in college but a whole lifetime in the real world, where knowing the right people can go far in ensuring you have the best employment and other opportunities).
2. Begin your selection early
This is nothing new, yet so many student athletes still get caught in having to make a last minute decision because they didn't consider all of their options. Managing your time effectively in the whole process will allow you to make the visits you want, be at the camps you need, and make an informed decision that will support your success.
3. What can you do for the team?
Read this carefully as it is a key concept in making your dreams become reality. When a student athlete who is a freshman or a sophomore in high school makes an inquiry to a college team and words his or her letter to the coach like this:
"Dear Coach, what open positions and needs will your team have in the fall of 20XX, when I will be a freshman in college? I am a ….(state your position, stats, etc.) and I'd like to have an opportunity to contribute to the excellence of your program."
Coaches are bound to listen, note, and when the time comes put you at the top of their list. Nothing says more to a coach than a person who is willing to put their needs in front of one's own. Even if you don't get a position at that school, you will most likely make a friend for life that will later no doubt give you a job recommendation with full confidence in the quality of the person you are.
4. Will you be eligible?
This is something you need to stay on top of – if it seems complicated, ask for help. The last thing you want is to graduate from high school thinking you are college-bound only to find out that you are missing classes that you have to take in the summer or even worse, render you ineligible to play. Here is the website for the most up-to-date NCAA eligibility requirements
5. Do the work: videos, camps, unofficial visits, etc.
Making a highlight video is a must and it does not have to be a high cost production. A coach knows what to look for and can see it even from a hand held mobile device video. I would spend my time and effort in making sure I have enough "highlight"-type moments in each match I play and let your friends edit the film.
You can learn a lot about a coach and a program if you have an opportunity to go to a summer camp put on by the school. This will also ensure that the coach gets plenty of opportunities to see you play. These summer camps can be expensive – think about creative ways to organize a fundraiser during the year that will help you pay for the camps you want to attend. Same thing goes for unofficial visits – don't let lack of funding stop you from taking this opportunity.
If there is a will, there is a way. To your success!

Let's face it, for many people, our pearly whites have develop into more of a faint yellow. In that case it is higher to speak to your dentist – but for those with otherwise healthy tooth who wish to whiten their teeth just a few shades and spot a distinction in their smile, there are various issues one can do at house to realize a fascinating consequence that can make you feel more confident when smiling for photos or just chatting to others with out having to fret about the way in which your enamel look.
If you want a trouble free method that gives quicker outcomes, then we suggest that you attempt one of the many natural enamel whitening products There are a huge variety of products to select from they usually provide glorious results as effectively.
For whitening at house, your dentist can make trays to carry the whitening gel that suit your teeth precisely. However let's make things clear: the pure colour of the teeth of some people can truly be closer to the yellow facet. Smile and brush onto front of all teeth and wait 30 seconds earlier than closing your mouth.
Enamel whitening, if maintained accurately, can leave patients with outcomes that last. A specialized gentle or laser prompts the gel and permits bleaching to occur sooner. It's because the enamel bleaching strips have the correct amount of bleach distributed evenly unlike trays and other enamel whitening / bleaching strategies.

text: Today the plan is to hike the four mountains of Franconia Ridge: Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty and Flume. Weather should be perfect for this hike and the often untouched (in winter) section of trail between Little Haystack and Liberty was broken out this weekend. I had given some thoughts to Washington and the Southern Presidentials today but the wind is a tad bit high at its upper reachers for what I like to do with Atticus. The other option was to hike the five mountains making up the Carters and Cat; however, that doesn't look possible as a section of the Wildcat Ridge Trail is deemed impassable by most at this time. Instead we'll go with Franconia Ridge. Jeff Veino will at leasts start the hike with us, but he's having trouble with a hip flexor and it's unknown how far he'll be able to go. If it bothers him on the ridge he'll descend Falling Waters Trail to his car and I'll continue on and then descend to the Flume parking lot where I will drop my car. It promises to be a long but beautiful day.

Heard about the mood-related benefits of going gluten-free? Want to try going gluten-free but not sure how to do it? We're teaming up with nutritionist Trudy Scott, author of the Antianxiety Food Solution, for a three-week Gluten-Free Challenge that will show you how to eliminate gluten from your diet. By following the simple steps we'll give you in upcoming posts, you'll be able to see if going gluten-free is right for you.
Begin by viewing Trudy Scott's video, above.
About Mental Health and the Gluten-Free Challenge
Although sugar and junk and fast foods cause health problems for many, one major dietary culprit that has been getting a lot of attention is gluten. For the next few weeks, Trudy, C.R. and I are going to talk about the importance of diet, and specifically gluten, as it affects your mental health.
Many people don't realize that they might have gluten a intolerance, or even an allergy to gluten. This is unfortunate, because the high-gluten levels* in the foods we eat today have been linked to anxiety and depression (and other mental illnesses), as well as some serious physical health issues.
In the Therapy Soup Blog's Gluten-Free Challenge, Trudy Scott will give important nutritional information, and explain how gluten may be affecting your mood and mental health. C.R. will offer menu ideas and other suggestions. I'll share with you some other steps you can take to help relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood problems.
Together, we're going to empower you to do your own Gluten-Free Challenge at home.
We'll discuss how gluten might be affecting your mental health and might be contributing to symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses.
We're going to show you how to eliminate gluten from your diet—you'll be surprised where it's lurking (soy sauce! bouillion cubes! natural flavorings!)
We'll show you how to keep track of what you eat and give you some alternative menu suggestions and substitutes.
We'll show you how to keep track of your anxiety, depression, and other symptoms.
We'll show you how to gauge if there's been an improvement.
If you find that gluten isn't a problem for you, later down the road, we're going to discuss other dietary and nutrition factors that might be factors.
As a therapist and the director of an addiction and mental health program, I've personally seen the power of healthy eating (and taking specific supplements) not only when working with patients, but also, for in my own life. Eating better gave me a calmer, steadier energy. Eating more mindfully definitely changed my life and even helped me lose weight (see The 7 Rules of Mindful Eating for Health and Weight Loss).
Getting the right nutrients helps reduce mood swings. I have seen it help those in recovery from addiction. The importance of a healthy diet and supplemental nutrients when needed, cannot be overstated.
But there is so much conflicting information out there. Should you eat vegetarian or go paleo? Should you stick to raw foods or burn, baby, burn? That's why we turned to nutrition expert Trudy Scott to help us sift through the information.
Please tell your friends and family about our Gluten-Free Challenge. They can find it here at the Therapy Soup blog at PsychCentral.com. For the next three weeks (November 5th until Thanksgiving) we'll be going gluten-free.
See other Therapy Soup posts on nutrition and mental health.
Read our review of Trudy Scott's book, The Antianxiety Food Solution.
Trudy Scott's web sites, The Antianxiety Food Solution and Every Woman Over 29.
NOTE: The Anti-Anxiety, Gluten-Free Challenge is not a substitute for therapy or medication. If you are seeing a therapist, please continue. If you are taking medication please continue taking it, unless your prescribing practitioner agrees it would be beneficial to lower your dose or "wean" you off it.
*Today's wheat (bread, crackers, pretzels, etc.) is a hybrid variety that is extremely high in gluten. It contains higher levels of gliadin, a component of gluten (along with glutenins). Gluten in general, and gliadin specifically, have been linked to everything from anxiety and depression to serious digestive orders including celiac disease. Of interest: people with celiac disease appear to have higher levels of anxiety. There are many possible factors, including the discomfort and pain associated with celiac disease. However, there is stronger evidence that depression is possible one of the co-occurring symptoms of celiac disease. Perhaps people who've been diagnosed with depression or an anxiety disorder should consider testing for gluten intolerance and celiac disease. There is also evidence that eliminating gluten from the diet may reduce symptoms of autism. Many people with celiac disease haven't been diagnosed.

Boho Belt DIY | Minnetonka MoccasinNov 1, 2017
Inspiring handcrafted how-to's for your home, life and well being. Our Made By Hand series features distinct DIYs made with a little love and a lot of creative spirit. Today's post comes from contributor Lary Ryan of Inspiration Nook.
With Fall in full swing and Winter slowly approaching I was totally inspired to create these fun boho boot belts to keep me warm and still be able to wear my favorite ankle booties.This DIY let's you be creative with any fabric you find. Plus with the belts, I loved how having two different colors looked with my outfit and matched my boots. There are no rules so you be your own judge!
Safety pins
Belts (I thrifted mine)
Step 1 | Cut your fabric and wrap them around your ankles to define how much you need. I used less than half a yard for each side.
Step 2 | Once you have the desired length and thickness of your fabric keep it in place using two safety pins.
Step 3 | Slip it onto your ankle, wrap your belt around a few times until comfortable.
Step 4 | Take your boots on an adventure and have fun!

Question: I saw an ad posted at a shopping center for a German shepherd puppy for sale for $500. The woman selling the puppy said this was her business and that she only accepted cash and to be sure to include tax. I paid $520, but did not get a receipt.
I took the puppy home and noticed she had an unusual walk -- her back legs were binding together -- but we thought it was just her cute way of walking since she was a puppy. However, by the time she was 5 months old, she began to limp, had trouble standing and was in pain sometimes.
Eventually, a lump appeared on her left hip. An X-ray showed she has a severe hereditary hip disease and the hip on her left side is dislocated. We paid for extensive and expensive testing and my dog will need to have surgery. I called the breeder and told her what I found. I asked if her dogs had been checked by X-ray and her answer was no.
Then she said, rudely, "I don't have to listen to this" and hung up. Can you put an article in the paper so people are made aware of this breeder?
Answer: You said you were seeking complete reimbursement from the breeder and indicated you were prepared to take her to Small Claims Court.
Another avenue is the state Office of Consumer Protection.
"All the facts associated with the sale are critical and would have to be examined," said Executive Director Stephen Levins. Call 587-3222 or go to http://www.hawaii.gov/dcca/areas/ocp/.
You can also file a complaint with the state Department of Taxation if you believe the tax charged may not have been passed onto the state.
Send your complaint to Edward Beal, Returns Classifying Officer, Department of Taxation, P.O. Box 259, Honolulu 96809.
However, under its confidentiality laws, "we cannot discuss that taxpayer with another taxpayer," Beal said. In other words, the department would not notify complainants of action taken, if any, unless it's a criminal action, he said.
Unfortunately, it appears you do not have anything in writing. Your case is a good example of how not to buy a dog.
We asked Gerri Cadiz, president of Hawaiian Kennel Club, editor and publisher of Ilio Dog Magazine, and member of the board of directors of the Hawaiian Humane Society, for advice when looking to buy a dog.
It turns out that anyone who owns a female dog and allows it to get impregnated becomes a "breeder," Cadiz said.
She provided us with a copy of "The Hawaiian Dog Fanciers Guide for Responsible Breeders," compiled by members of the American Kennel Club's local affiliates. It refers to AKC-registered dogs, but has guidelines that would be helpful when dealing with any breeder.
(The guide is free and available at the Hawaiian Humane Society, as well as Hawaiian Kennel Club shows at Blaisdell Center during the first weekend in March and September, and at the Pet Expo on May 12 and 13, Cadiz said. She'll also mail it to anyone who sends a self-addressed stamped envelope to 40A Kai One Place, Kailua, HI 96734.)
"Here in Hawaii we have over 50 AKC-recognized clubs," Cadiz said. "They are happy to share information."
She also said Ilio Dog Magazine has a list of all local clubs with contact numbers and a calendar of coming events. It can be purchased at most pet stores or the Humane Society for $5.
» Always buy directly from a reputable breeder. Trust your gut. Ask lots of questions.
» Look at the dam and sire (mother and father) before choosing a puppy. Look at conditions under which the pup was raised.
» Ask for a pedigree (at least three generations). Ask for an Orthopedic Foundation for Animals number (regarding hip dysplasia), eye certification, shot records, and any other tests relevant to a specific breed. Don't accept "papers will come later."
» Be prepared to answer questions that the breeder might ask in regard to care of a puppy. A good breeder wants to be sure it is going to an appropriate home.

Fusion Kitchen, [IC colony, Borivali]10:52:00 AM
Fusion kitchen is in Borivali, IC colony and is a small restaurant having good reviews on Zomato. I went for a lunch on Sunday and as I reached, there was waiting and it was of 30-40 minutes. The restaurant is run by 4-5 young men who seem to be quite energetic and welcoming which sets up a good atmosphere I should say. The first thing they did was give a complimentary drink(not alcohol ) for those who had to wait. I was so excited that I just drank it in a sip without taking a picture before, I took it after drinking it though.
sorry for that.
The ambience was really good with good soft music playing. I loved the board with different saying on love for food. There was also a review board with all the reviews pinned on it.
Now that all sounds well and good, let me tell you about the food.
We ordered chicken nachos, chicken paprika and Sizzling brownie with chocolate ice cream since it was mentioned in the must eat section of zomato.
Chicken nachos had a very good quantity. I liked the roasted chicken pieces in it. It had lots of cheese. As we say in Hindi it was not 'Masaledaar' at all.
Chicken Paprika was something different than what we generally order. It looked really off, but it didn't taste that bad. Well, it was served in a better way than what it looks in the picture!
|So sorry! Got busy eating
I am not a spicy food eater, but still found the food to be very bland. We requested the guy to make it a bit spicy and so he suggested another version which according to him was spicy, but still bland.
Then comes the sizzling brownie with chocolate ice-cream which looks delicious. It was not bad, just that the brownie was a little hard. It is so good to have it soft and melts as you put it in your mouth, yummm.!
So, that was hell of a description. I would give it a 3.5 rating(3 for food and 0.5 for the service).

How useful did you find this blog post?
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Posted by Andrew Ahn, Product Manager, Google Play
Google Play is committed to providing a secure and safe platform for billions of Android users on their journey discovering and experiencing the apps they love and enjoy. To deliver against this commitment, we worked last year to improve our abuse detection technologies and systems, and significantly increased our team of product managers, engineers, policy experts, and operations leaders to fight against bad actors.
In 2018, we introduced a series of new policies to protect users from new abuse trends, detected and removed malicious developers faster, and stopped more malicious apps from entering the Google Play Store than ever before. The number of rejected app submissions increased by more than 55 percent, and we increased app suspensions by more than 66 percent. These increases can be attributed to our continued efforts to tighten policies to reduce the number of harmful apps on the Play Store, as well as our investments in automated protections and human review processes that play critical roles in identifying and enforcing on bad apps.
In addition to identifying and stopping bad apps from entering the Play Store, our Google Play Protect system now scans over 50 billion apps on users' devices each day to make sure apps installed on the device aren't behaving in harmful ways. With such protection, apps from Google Play are eight times less likely to harm a user's device than Android apps from other sources.
Here are some areas we've been focusing on in the last year and that will continue to be a priority for us in 2019:
Protecting users' data and privacy is a critical factor in building user trust. We've long required developers to limit their device permission requests to what's necessary to provide the features of an app. Also, to help users understand how their data is being used, we've required developers to provide prominent disclosures about the collection and use of sensitive user data. Last year, we rejected or removed tens of thousands of apps that weren't in compliance with Play's policies related to user data and privacy.
In October 2018, we announced a new policy restricting the use of the SMS and Call Log permissions to a limited number of cases, such as where an app has been selected as the user's default app for making calls or sending text messages. We've recently started to remove apps from Google Play that violate this policy. We plan to introduce additional policies for device permissions and user data throughout 2019.
We find that over 80% of severe policy violations are conducted by repeat offenders and abusive developer networks. When malicious developers are banned, they often create new accounts or buy developer accounts on the black market in order to come back to Google Play. We've further enhanced our clustering and account matching technologies, and by combining these technologies with the expertise of our human reviewers, we've made it more difficult for spammy developer networks to gain installs by blocking their apps from being published in the first place.
As mentioned in last year's blog post, we fought against hundreds of thousands of impersonators, apps with inappropriate content, and Potentially Harmful Applications (PHAs). In a continued fight against these types of apps, not only do we apply advanced machine learning models to spot suspicious apps, we also conduct static and dynamic analyses, intelligently use user engagement and feedback data, and leverage skilled human reviews, which have helped in finding more bad apps with higher accuracy and efficiency.
Despite our enhanced and added layers of defense against bad apps, we know bad actors will continue to try to evade our systems by changing their tactics and cloaking bad behaviors. We will continue to enhance our capabilities to counter such adversarial behavior, and work relentlessly to provide our users with a secure and safe app store.
Posted by Fei Ye, Software Engineer and Kazushi Nagayama, Ninja Spamologist
Google Play ratings and reviews are extremely important in helping users decide which apps to install. Unfortunately, fake and misleading reviews can undermine users' trust in those ratings. User trust is a top priority for us at Google Play, and we are continuously working to make sure that the ratings and reviews shown in our store are not being manipulated.
There are various ways in which ratings and reviews may violate our developer guidelines:
When we see these, we take action on the app itself, as well as the review or rating in question.
In 2018, the Google Play Trust & Safety teams deployed a system that combines human intelligence with machine learning to detect and enforce policy violations in ratings and reviews. A team of engineers and analysts closely monitor and study suspicious activities in Play's ratings and reviews, and improve the model's precision and recall on a regular basis. We also regularly ask skilled reviewers to check the decisions made by our models for quality assurance.
It's a big job. To give you a sense of the volume we manage, here are some numbers from a recent week:
Our team can do a lot, but we need your help to keep Google Play a safe and trusted place for apps and games.
If you're a developer, you can help us by doing the following:
Example of a violation: incentivized ratings is not allowed
If you're a user, you can follow these simple guidelines as well:
Finally, if you find bad ratings and reviews on Google Play, help us improve by sending your feedback! Users can mark the review as "Spam" and developers can submit feedback through the Play Console.
Tooltip to flag the review as Spam.
Thanks for helping us keep Google Play a safe and trusted place to discover some of the world's best apps and games.
Posted by Purnima Kochikar, Director, Google Play, Apps & Games
On Monday we released Android 9 Pie. As we continue to push the Android platform forward, we're always looking to provide new ways to distribute your apps efficiently, help people discover and engage with your work, and improve the overall security of our ecosystem. Google Play has had a busy year so far with some big milestones around helping you reach more users, including:
Google Play is dedicated to helping you build and grow quality app businesses, reach the more than 2 billion Android devices globally and provide your users with better experiences. Here are some of the important areas we're prioritizing this year:
We've added more testing tools to the popular Play Console to help developers de-risk app launches with internal and external test tracks and staged rollouts to get valuable early feedback. This year we've expanded the Start on Android program globally that provides developers new to Android additional guidance to optimize their apps before launch. Google Play Instant remains a huge bet to transform app discovery and improve conversions by letting users engage without the friction of installing. We're seeing great results from early adopters and are working on new places to surface instant experience, including ads, and making them easier to build throughout the year.
Google Play plays an important role helping developers understand and fix quality and performance issues. At I/O, we showcased how we expanded the battery, stability and rendering of Android vitals reporting to include app start time & permission denials, enabling developers to cut application not responding errors by up to 95%. We also expanded the functionality of automated device testing with the pre-launch report to enable games testing. Recently, we increased the importance of app quality in our search and discovery recommendations that has resulted in higher engagement and satisfaction with downloaded games.
Over the last year we've rolled out more editorial content and improved our machine learning to deliver personalized recommendations for apps and games that engage users. Since most game downloads come from browsing (as opposed to searching or deep linking into) the store, we've put particular focus on games discovery, with a new games home page, special sections for premium and new games, immersive video trailers and screenshots, and the ability to try games instantly. We've also introduced new programs to help drive app downloads through richer discovery. For example, since launching our app pre-registration program in 2016, we've seen nearly 250 million app pre-registrations. Going forward, we'll be expanding on these programs and others like LiveOps cards to help developers engage more deeply with their audience.
Google Play now collects payments in 150 markets via credit card, direct carrier billing (DCB), Paypal, and gift cards. Direct carrier billing is now enabled across 167 carriers in 64 markets. In 2018, we have focused on expanding our footprint in Africa and Latam with launches in Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Peru & Colombia. And users can now buy Google Play credit via gift cards or other means in more 800,000 retail locations around the world. This year, we also launched seller support in 18 new markets bringing the total markets with seller support to 98. Our subscription offering continues to improve with ML-powered fraud detection and even more control for subscribers and developers. Google Play's risk modeling automatically helps detect fraudulent transactions and purchase APIs help you better analyze your refund data to identify suspicious activity.
Google Play Protect and our other systems scan and analyze more than 50 billion apps a day to keep our ecosystem safe for users and developers. In fact, people who only download apps from Google Play are nine times less likely to download a potentially harmful app than those who download from other sources. We've made significant improvements in our ability to detect abuse—such as impersonation, inappropriate content, fraud, or malware—through new machine learning models and techniques. The result is that 99% of apps with abusive content are identified and rejected before anyone can install them. We're also continuing to run the Google Play Security Rewards Program through a collaboration with Hacker One to discover other vulnerabilities.
We are continually inspired by what developers build—check out #IMakeApps for incredible examples—and want every developer to have the tools needed to succeed. We can't wait to see what you do next!
Messaging is getting more and more expressive -- today you can say I love you
with an emoji, a gif, or a sticker. Millions of users share expressive content
every day on Android devices using Gboard as their default keyboard. We want to
push expression even further by allowing developers to create their own
stickers for Gboard. Some of our early partners include Bitmoji, Disney, and
even our own Allo team. Once published, your stickers could be seen and shared
by millions of users around the world.
Using the Firebase App
Indexing API, you'll be able index any sticker assets you create, publish
your app to the Play Store, and get featured in the Gboard
Sticker collection. Once a user downloads your sticker pack from the Play
store, they'll be able to send those stickers directly from their keyboard in
any Android app that supports image insertion!
To kick things off, you'll need to add the Firebase App Indexing library. Visit
the Firebase
Getting Started Guide for details. Once
you've set up Firebase App Indexing, read through our sticker
guide to learn how to index those stickers. Next, create your sticker
You should build and index stickers on first run after update or install to
minimize the lag between a user installing the app and seeing the stickers in
Gboard. Our sample
app should give an idea of the end-to-end flow.
Users often look for stickers via searching on keywords. That means you'll want
to add appropriate keywords to allow users to find your stickers and you can
use the put method to add keywords. In the code snippet below, you'll see that
a Snoopy sticker is tagged with the keywords: "bye", "snoopy", "see ya", and
"good bye".
new Indexable.Builder("Sticker")
// add url for sticker asset
// see: Support links to your app content section
// Set the accessibility label for the sticker.
.setDescription("A sticker for Bye")
// Add search keywords.
.put("keywords", "bye", "snoopy", "see ya", "good bye")
new Indexable.Builder("StickerPack")
.setName("Snoopy Pack")
For larger sticker packs, you'll want to make sure you've tagged stickers with
keywords so that they're easier for users to find. We've come up with a list of
English phrases/keywords you can use to tag your stickers. But don't forget
to internationalize your stickers -- to do this you'll want to first detect the
device language and then index keywords that correspond to that language.
Finally, share your stickers with the world! To be featured in our Sticker
Collection on the Play Store, fill out this form.
But first, make sure to thoroughly test the sticker pack using the
latest build of Gboard,
If your app has high-quality stickers and is working well with Gboard, we'll add
it to our sticker collection; this is the best way to get it seen by millions of
Gboard users!
We're really excited to see what sticker packs you're able to build.

Old Plank Sheep in Dark Resin
The story behind A Life Size Sheep-
About 25 years ago Robin and I were strolling through the Paris Flea Market and sitting right there on the sidewalk of rue des Rosiers was a French sheep, for the equivalent of a then staggering $5000 and of course I immediately told my wife to just forget it, for who in their right mind would pay that much for a furry life size sheep. After all, who was I to predict that a sheep would sell for years later.
Ever since that moment we have been searching for a more affordable equivalent, but there was always something just a little off, or out of proportion. In my opinion, this particular sheep was the answer to my prayers. Great sheep reproduced face and will you look at those unique sheep legs?p>
Price is for one sheep.

Kevin D. Schneider
April 10, 1959 – October 25, 2000
Submitted by Sherry MacCallum, sister
My brother, Kevin had epileptic seizures. So all his life he had special needs and required special care. Of course, as his big sister, I felt it was my job to take care of him and watch out for him.
The doctors hadn't given us much hope for Kevin. They told us he'd never ride a bike but he did just like any normal kid. In fact, he rode snowmobiles with my parents and later he had a three-wheel Honda that he would whip around the farm on.
The doctors told us he would not live to see 14 – he did. They said he'd never make 21 – he did. At age 33, in October of 2000, Kevin was admitted into the hospital for a routine medication adjustment. For Kevin, any change in his meds was a major ordeal. He would get very sick, need to sleep a lot and he'd have more seizures than normal. On the third day my family received a call that Kevin had gone into cardiac arrest, he was resuscitated but now was in a coma. For 8 days we watched him diminish along with our hopes. So not only were we losing a son and a brother, but it was happening because of a mistake. What can you do to turn such a tragedy into something positive – donate life! Kevin gave the gift of life to 6 complete strangers. His situation also made a dream come true for his big sister. Because of this, I now own my Harley Davidson motorcycle. The license plate reads "KEVNME". I know Kevin is with me every time I'm out riding. Now it's his turn to watch over me……

By National Main Street Center | From Main Street Story of the Week | December 9, 2016 |
Welcome to the inaugural edition of State of Main, the annual publication of Main Street America! Serving as both an annual report and an industry journal, State of Main provides a detailed look back on all that we have accomplished together this year, as well as a platform to explore cutting edge ideas and trends in the commercial district revitalization field.
First and foremost, this is a publication that celebrates the Main Street America Network. We kick off State of Mainwith a Year in Review—a detailed look at who our members are, where they are, and what they have accomplished. The power of Main Street is undeniable. With $65.6 billion total dollars reinvested since 1980, the cumulative success of the Main Street Approach and local Main Street America programs proves Main Street continues to be a powerful economic force that is stronger than ever before.
This publication also provides a place to reflect on where we are as an organization, and where we are headed as a movement. Just over three years have passed since the National Main Street Center (NMSC) launched as an independent nonprofit subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and we've covered a lot of ground during that time. With the launch of several new programs and resources, we hope you see your ideas and feedback reflected in our Center Update section, as we evolve to better serve the needs of the network.
Finally, we hope that the State of Main helps you bring your work to the next level in the year ahead. That is why the second half of the publication is dedicated to presenting ideas and research that will that we see playing a vital role in our field going forward. From Downtowns Matter, NMSC Board Chair Ed T. McMahon's piece that explores the critical components of successful communities, to the article by Hannah White and Norma Ramirez de Miess that provides a closer look at how Main Streets are building more inclusive communities, to a fascinating look at the comeback of manufacturing on Main Street by Matt Wagner, and so much more, we think you'll not only find inspiration but valuable tools and techniques to use in your community.
As we close out 2016, we hope that State of Main allows you to slow down and reflect on where we've been as a movement, while also motivating you in the year ahead to keep the momentum going and push the needle forward.
The electronic version of State of Main is available to both members and non-members of the National Main Street Center. Members of the National Main Street Center will receive a hard copy of State of Main in mid-December. Not a member? Learn more and join today.
Main Street is a unique preservation based economic development program.

Home > A New Way to Repair Worn Out Hips
Five months after a hip replacement, Kathryn Stoneking walked a 10K marathon surprising even her doctor, David Paul, DO. "I am the type of person if I set my mind to something I am going to do it," said a determined Kathryn.
It was that determination that helped Kathryn through two hip replacements; although, she said they were as different as night and day.
Kathryn's first hip replacement occurred in 2003 at the young age of 58. She remembers a terrible, grinding pain when she walked and feeling as if she might fall.
Dr. Paul replaced Kathryn's hip using available technology that required an invasive approach of cutting muscles to access the hip joint. Kathryn remembers needing pain medication after surgery and not driving for six weeks. "It seemed like it took a long time before I felt I was right."
Eight years later Kathryn's left hip needed replaced, but this time Dr. Paul surprised her with something new, the ASI or Anterior Supine Intermuscular approach. ASI is a minimally invasive approach that lets surgeons go between muscles to access the hip joint. "This surgery permits the most rapid return to activity because you aren't cutting muscle which is more painful," explained Dr. Paul, with Orthopedic Surgeons, Inc.
Kathryn noticed a difference right after the surgery. She felt more aware during recovery and didn't require pain medicine, a much different experience. "This time I didn't have restrictions, unlike the first surgery, where I couldn't bend more than 90 degrees or go up the stairs. They just told me, 'If it hurts, don't do it,'" Kathryn laughed.
Dr. Paul has seen the same results in other patients. "I have patients come in 13 days after surgery, and they don't even need a cane," he said proudly. "One patient returned to work on a factory line 10 days after surgery rather than the expected six to eight weeks with traditional hip surgery."
From a physician perspective, there's another advantage. It's easier to ensure legs are the same length after surgery. Dr. Paul explained that an ASI patient lies on his or her back, which allows the surgeon to use X-ray technology to check the alignment. "With traditional surgery, the patient is positioned on his or her side, making it more challenging to obtain the proper positioning."
Dr. Paul is so pleased with the progress of his ASI patients that he uses the newer technique on 99 percent of his patients. Kathryn was glad she was one of those patients.

The 1998 Rampart Scandal Continues to Reverberate in the LAPD
In 1992, the Los Angeles Police Department investigated a staggering 1,092 murders, the most in the city's history. The number had risen more or less steadily through the late '80s and into the '90s with the advent of the crack cocaine trade and the gang violence that accompanied it, but since that high-water (high-blood?) year of 1992, homicide in the city has declined in almost every year, with the LAPD recording 297 murders in 2010.
Last year was the first in which Los Angeles saw fewer than 300 murders since 1967, a time when the city had 1.5 million fewer residents. The only interruption to this long, steady decline came in the years 1998 through 2002, when the tally rose from 419 to 647. We may soon see another rise in killing on the streets of L.A., and for reasons very similar to those that engendered the one that began in 1998.
In August 1998, LAPD internal affairs investigators arrested Rafael Perez, at the time an officer assigned to the gang unit at the department's Rampart Division, for stealing cocaine from evidence storage. After being arrested, Perez supplied information on what came to be known at the Rampart scandal, in which, Perez alleged, he and his fellow officers in the gang unit engaged in all manner of misconduct, including planting evidence, perjury, excessive force, and even unprovoked and unjustifiable shootings.
Though Perez implicated dozens of officers in misconduct, criminal charges were ultimately brought against only nine. Of these, five pled guilty, one was acquitted by a jury, and three were convicted at trial. And those who were convicted at trial were later vindicated when their convictions were overturned by the trial judge, a decision upheld through the appellate process. And it is worth noting that those same three officers were later awarded $5 million each when a civil jury concluded that they had been arrested and charged despite the absence of probable cause. That verdict has also been upheld through a long series of appeals. (I wrote about this aspect of the Rampart scandal for National Review Online in 2008. You can read that column here.)
In addition to those officers who faced criminal charges, administrative charges were brought against 93 officers, most of whom were cleared. Seven officers were fired or voluntarily resigned, and 24 received punishments ranging from a reprimand to a suspension. In short, though Perez and another officer were shown to have committed some truly despicable acts, the so-called scandal was confined to a handful of officers at a single police station.
And yet, despite the lack of evidence of misconduct elsewhere in the LAPD, then-LAPD Chief Bernard Parks made the decision to shut down the gang units at all of the department's 18 police stations (there are 21 today). One might speculate that the rise in murders that followed was coincidental, but such speculation is rebutted by the fact that murders resumed their decline in Los Angeles when Parks was ousted as chief and the gang units were re-established.
Though the Rampart scandal broke thirteen years ago, its effects are still being felt in the LAPD today. The scandal resulted in the imposition of a consent decree (.pdf) agreed to by the city of Los Angeles and Janet Reno's Justice Department. The consent decree, intended to last five years, governed virtually every aspect of the department's operation, subjecting it to inspection by a court-appointed monitor who demanded an impossibly high standard be met for the department to be found in compliance. It was finally lifted in 2009, though some vestiges remain, including a provision that officers assigned to gang and narcotics units be required to disclose their personal finances so as to detect any who might be deemed inordinately wealthy. The Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union that represents rank-and-file officers (and of which I am a member), filed suit seeking to block this provision, but the effort failed in the courts and the financial disclosure rules went into effect in March 2009.

Ugh, I SO do not want to step on the scale for weigh-in tomorrow. This weekend has been BAD, calorically. Cake, frosting...frosting without cake, beer, wine, pizza, Chinese take-out... I'm like the poster child for efficient weight GAIN!
Yesterday while I was out on an 11 miler with my local running friend my guys made our "family birthday cake." Seeing as how all 3 Humans in this house have February birthdays we thought it made the most sense to make one cake for all of us and pick a weekend midway between them all to celebrate with simple carbohydrates subsequent to singing "Happy Birthday to US."
Originally we had planned to go watch a roller derby match last night, but after that miserable long run (it's not just Heather and I who had bad runs...seems to be affecting friends far-flung, too. F you, Old Man Winter) and DS dropping a book on his foot we just weren't all that eager to venture out into the cold. Instead we donned PJs, made pizza, and rented a couple of movies. 9 was very good, as was Inglourious Basterds. I am still convinced that there are few things I enjoy more than Brad Pitt doing crazy. I think we might need to rent 12 Monkeys again, very soon.
While we watched movies we ate cake. Then again for breakfast we had cake. I kinda wanna hurl, now. In a little while the 2 eldest cake eaters in the house will ride our nowhere bikes...you know, to make room for that last 3rd of the cake that remains. We will watch the Olympics while we ride...to add more guilt. Those young athletes didn't get where they are by sitting around eating cake for the better part of a weekend. At least the leftover pizza and Chinese are gone...I might have to go binge on salad, now.

October plot
So the weekend came …and went! I didn't get a lot done, but I did get my hands dirty (mainly because I forgot my gardening gloves!)
I think my weekend is best explained in photos
I went on a lovely walk with a friend
My cape gooseberry fruits are becoming ripe off branch 🙂
And my plants in the greenhouse are still going strong!
I have a mini harvest…
Cape gooseberry…
I'm still getting a good haul on my raspberry plants. I'm really chuffed; it's year one and they have been fantastic producers… Can't wait for year 2!
I had my first ever carrot success! They may be small… But hopefully they make up for it in flavour! ha ha!
3 of my courgette plants are still going…
And that's my lot… My to do list will just have to be done next week :).
Happy gardening!
All change!
I can feel the growing season slowing down a little now. I think it's seeing my tomatoes gone 😭! It's barely light when I leave home and dark when I get home… So its a mission to get to the plot during the week now. And the weekends become an exciting suprise to see what's changed!
I sourced some manure last weekend… 4 bags of well rotted goodness. Yum yum (that's how bad it is…I'm excited about poo!) And I eagerly eyed up some garlic and onion sets… I had mixed success with both over the years (not many)…. Try try and try again! Funny enough I had my best success from some cheap n cheerful sets from B&Q.
My cape gooseberry fruits are seeming to ripen off the branch! Which is exciting and amazing! I will have to do a plot run tomorrow; as I have not watered my greenhouse plants all week! (should just be clinging onto life, let's hope).
On my to do list is (for the next few weeks)
-Sort our my raspberry support system… Need to borrow a cordless drill and screw driver (parents be afraid!)
-Research how and when to prune my raspberries… Early. Summer. Autumn.
-Thinking about removing our resident… Sucker non fruiting plum tree… And getting something new and 'fruitful' to replace it.
– Clean my greenhouse
And post this post! 🙂
Last weekend plotting
It was a strange annoying week; mainly because of illness. But I'm back on form and feeling much better!
I caught up with Monty Don. He gave his greenhouse a clean before winter sets in. Im assuming Monty has more than one greenhouse ;), as mine is still busy! He cleared, scrubbed, washed and then bubble wrapped; for winter insulation.
What I learnt:
– big bubbles are key
– no gaps!
….then I look at my grubby greenhouse on Sunday. So I made a start. I cleared my tomatoes and near filled my second compost bin. I then attempted to move my cape gooseberry plants, with the aim to get more sun. You know when you know it's a bad idea… And you do it anyway… And then you think 'it can't get any worse'. By which time half the plant had been ripped off… Plant limbs strewn around your greenhouse. Needless to say I moved one grow bag and I left the others. If anybody has grown them they will know they become rather large plants! Anyway I took my fruit casualties home… With hope they might ripen if left in the sun and a mini greenhouse. Fingers crossed!!
I used my grow bag soil for bulb layering experiments. I can't wait for spring to see these beauties!
I had a 'mini' weed and have eyed up some spots for manure next week. I'm keen to let some areas rest over winter and get some goodness back into the soil!
Harvest list:
Last tomatoes
Mini courgettes
Padron peppers and some hot ones I'm to scared to pick
We had a holiday day on Monday ….yipee!
And I managed to get a garden shop visit in! So we stopped at Wisely. I got my first carnivorous plant to live in my greenhouse to eat those pesky bugs (does this make me a bad vegetarian, oooops!?) And I got two new mini succulent plants for the house to add to my collection!
I even did some chessnut collecting 🙂
On our travels we stopped at my parents and got two big bags of Apple's! One cooking, the other eating! So I have crumble plans and also Apple and raspberry jam plans!
Bulb lasagne?… Yum yum!
I'm thinking about spring time flowers this month; I always forget to get these in. So this year I'm getting my bulbs in a row (so to speak!). But as always it's a battle for space and time on our little plot.
I sourced some snow drops, crocus, mini daffodils and some allium bulbs. Nearly all have gone in. But I'm planning to sink the plastic pots in the ground, let them flower and then rotate for veggies.
Last year my mother grew some lovely frilly tulips and she gave me some this year 🙂 so these will be added to the mix!
I have to be honest… I might have too many bulbs not enough space! Pots to the rescue!!
In the summer we went to Hampton court flower show….My first flower show! To be honest it was a bit busy, but we saw some inspiring flowers and I got lots of ideas!! Last year I deveoted spare space (made space) for my favourite sweet peas and sunflowers… So I'm going to have a fight on my hands next year!
I read Monty dons Jewel Garden earlier this year, with the mention of hundreds of tulips bulbs…. It really got me thinking what could I do with my tiny space. I'm also thinking long term I need to start my collection of bulbs!! At least using sunken pots I can pull them up and take them with me… A sort of portable garden.
In my researching have come across bulb lasagne! Which is bulb layering for non stop flowers!! I have done a little experiment with this… But I think it could end up like all the fireworks going off at once! Here is some of my bulb research on pintrest at http:// www.pinterest.com/bloomorbust/bulbs/
With lots of ideas it's tricky to cram it all in, but every year it means I improve the plot to make the most of the space. And every year I get a bit better.
With autumn fast rolling in its a great time to plan for some early spring blooms!
Bounty! Raspberry jam!!
I'm back after a weeks holiday! Beach eat sleep repeat. It was blissful!
And the plot has had a great time being looked after by my mother! Although I sespect she harvested nothing…. as this is my bounty!
So I have set to work, and made:
-Raspberry jam
-Leeks and potatoes from previous harvest went into dinner last night
I plan to make:
-Tomatoe, courgette and chilli chutney… Not sure if I will do a few variations and also get some green tomatoes involved…I have tried a few recipes in the past …but any suggestions?
– possible some sort of pickled chilli and Courgette?
-beetroot brownies!
-pickled beetroots or beetroot chutney?
Basically our house will smell rancid with chutney wafts this week!! I'm thinking to try and make a chutney each night after work 🙂
…Can you make leek chutney?!
My parents saved the sunflowers with some large wooden stakes….and fixed up my raspberries. Once I have had all the fruit this year I need to work out how to cut them back (3 different season varieties) and then set up a proper training system for next year! 🙂 this was my first year with raspberries and I have to say they are amazing!!
Things I should have done:
Dug up my late potatoes. Although they are still flowering!?
Cut back my tomatoes (removing lower branches) to help to green ones to get ripe (not that it's an issue at the moment) but they do need to be organised as I have let them run wild!
Admired my flowers
General tidy and organise!
Sunflowers down! Timber!!
My Sunflowers looked like a disaster zone on the plot; 3 down and 4 wonky wobblers!
But we have a silver lining! The best flower display ever!!
And after a night's drink… They look a bit more perky!
I have strung the remains and attached one to the bbq (almost certainly a bad idea) but needs must!! 🙂
To hot to garden, time to knit!
This weekend was so hot! So the plot plans sort of went out the window. But we got some things done….
What we did:
-dug out the spinach, put in new seed.
-covered up my betroots again (they have no modest 😜)
– and collected a some of the sweet pea pods (in colours… So hopefully next year I can make sure I grow a bit of everything.
Eat/harvest list:
-spring onions
-greenhouse tomatoes at last
-the odd raspberry
Things to watch:
– The sunflowers are flowing at last, and the bee population are having a field day!
– The giant cucumber… We are still eating last week's monster!
– The cape gooseberrys are forming!! I never thought this would actually happen (as I nearly killed them off)
Much of the weekend was used for knitting 🙂 something I have not done in a while (for myself anyway) and I had my lovely fluffy assistant to help!

I am also a shameless hypocrite with a strong heart and a wicked sense of humour. I hold a doctorate in the Sciences and I like to use my research background towards providing quality, in-depth articles for my readers. I currently reside in the Rainforest of tropical Australia. I get a lot of inspiration from where I live, from my friends, and my family. This blog first came about from an emotional knee-jerk reaction, a moment where I decided to pull back my curtain of ignorance to see what it meant to eat what I eat. I want to reveal to you here both my good and bad choices, my imperfections, and what I discover along the way. If you start to pull your own curtain back, you too may start to feel little niggles of anger, but I don't want you to become an angry person. I want us all to feel a little less helpless, a little happier, and a bit healthier too. I don't expect that we'll completely throw this lovely little curtain accessory away, but I want to use it less and less. So we'll start with food, and then who knows where this will go.
