A couple of weeks ago my friend Laura and I took our kids on a little hike to Bridal Veil Falls. It was perfect for our little ones. Even Nora and Blythe (not quite two and barely two) were able to walk almost the whole way (about 3/4 mile round trip), but it felt more like a "hike" than a "walk". They had a great time throwing rocks in the water and watching the falls.
Nora's at the stage where she doesn't want to look at the camera unless it her idea. Zane is just leaving that stage, so this is the best picture I could get of the two of them.

Bridal Veil Falls

Zane Turns 3 !?!
I can hardly believe my baby Zane is turning into a "big boy". Something happens when they turn three. I remember going out of town a few months ago and coming back. While we were gone a friends child had turned three and he just seemed so much bigger. Well, it's happened to Zane.
Well, I LOVE three-year-olds. They can tell great stories, have some reasoning skills and are just a lot of fun. I love hearing my kids practice things I teach them (at least practicing the good things). Zane tends to get frustrated easily. So I've tried to teach him that he "can do hard things." Yesterday he was trying to put something away and it was hard. I heard him say, "This is really hard. I can do hard things," and he did it! Some things do sink in.
For Zane's birthday we went "camping." We pitched our tents in Grandma and Grandpa's trees, built a fire, and had a blast. We told Zane he could invite a friend and he wanted to invite Boyd. We were happy to have Boyd's family with us. We love them.
The kids had a blast driving the battery operated cars, picking berries, playing on the play structure, and eating. I was surprised at how well my kids slept. Zane and Nora didn't make a peep and Anna only woke up for her middle-of-the-night-snack.
We were happy to have Grandma and Grandpa Pickup, Jessica, Jennifer and Aunt Brenda and her kids with us as well.
By the way, Boyd and Blythe really took to Ray and Lynnette and were calling them Grandma and Grandpa. It was pretty cute.

Pickup Reunion 2010
The first week in July we joined with Kevin's family for the annual Pickup family reunion. We started are rendezvous in Lincoln City where we rented a BEAUTIFUL home right on the beach. It was so nice to be able to just step out onto the beach and to watch the kids from our balcony. The house was absolutely beautiful and accommodated us all very easily. On the way to the beach Kevin, Zane, Nora, Anna and I stopped outside the Evergreen Aviation Museum for a break. They have a really great playground and some fun tanks and airplanes to see outside. We didn't have time to go inside (meaning we would have stayed all day--Kevin loves that place), but it was a nice place to stop and feed Anna and let the kids run around.
Once we arrived in Lincoln City we planned on just playing on the beach until we could get in the house, as it was still being cleaned, but the weather was kind of "iffy." We still took our chances and only got misted on a bit.
We had a great time playing on the beach, flying kites, eating good food, visiting, having a picture scavenger hunt and building sand castles.
One of the activities was a "picture scavenger hunt." Each child in the family got paired with an Aunt/Uncle and we had to find a list of things, take a picture and the child had to be in the picture. Kevin and I were paired with Kade. He was so enthusiastic about it. I'm sure we had the most fun.
We had a family work day with the goal of painting the fence. No small task considering the fence around this property. The Pickup's neighbor moved to Florida. They had this huge play structure that they needed out of their yard so they could potentially rent it. They were so kind to give it to Kevin and I and our family. If only we had a yard to put it in. For now it will happily reside at Grandma and Grandpa's. Some of the boys moved the play structure to the back yard while other painted the fence. Others tried to keep kids from touching the wet paint on the fence or took turns nursing the babies. We did manage to get almost the entire fence painted and mended in one day.
This reunion did not include nearly as much swimming. The water was just too cold for most of us wimps. We did have a couple of times where it was warm enough outside to make a cool splash feel pretty good.

A picture of a woman making a gesture some people find offensive at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington has caused a viral outrage on Facebook and the Internet.
The woman, Lindsey Stone, posted the picture on Facebook that shows her hand gesture. It also shows her pretending to scream next to a sign asking for "silence" and "respect."
She works at a business in Cape Cod, Mass., which has put her on leave after people complained about the picture via posts on the company's Facebook page.
Stone was on a business trip to Washington, D.C. when the picture was taken.
The company, LIFE - Living Independently Forever, posted a statement on its Facebook page:
"On Nov. 19 at approximately 6 p.m., we became aware that one of our employees had posted an offensive, inappropriate photograph on her personal Facebook page. The photo was taken at a national historic site in October by a fellow employee during a trip to Washington, D.C. attended by 40 residents and eight staff. The photo has since been removed from Facebook, and both employees have been placed on unpaid leave pending the results of an internal investigation."
The company goes on to say, "This photograph in no way reflects the opinions or values of the LIFE organization, which holds our nation's veterans in the highest regard. We are proud to have veterans serving on our staff and board of trustees, and we value their service."
Fox 25 in Boston spoke with Lindsey Stone's father at his home in Plymouth, Mass. He said he was sad and upset and that this is not a reflection of the type of person his daughter is.
He also said she is sorry and embarrassed because of the situation.
Some people think Stone should be fired from her job.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19 Running Shoes
GTS 19 represents a whole new concept in stability shoes. Focusing now on the knee – the most injury-prone part of a runner's body - rather than the foot, Brooks have removed the firm medial post in favour of a two-part GuideRail system.
These GuideRails sits on top of the midsole and extend a little way toward the upper and act like bumpers in a bowling alley to keep the foot moving along its most efficient path.
The inside of the GuideRail stabilizes the foot at the heel bone. It commences only when needed and prevents the knee from collapsing too far inward. The GuideRail on the outside of the heel reduces outward rotation of the heel which causes the tibia to twist and can cause injury to the knee.
The midsole combines Brooks' legendary cushioning technology, BioMogo DNA, with a softer compound – DNA Loft - at the heel, to provide a more comfortable landing and a responsive underfoot feeling. A segmented Crash Pad accommodates any landing and gives you an effortless heel to toe transition.
The upper combines an engineered mesh with 3D Fit Print overlays to provide structure and breathability while remaining supportive.
- Engineered mesh and the 3D Fit Print upper provide a streamlined structure and a modern, comfortable fit.
- GuideRails support system that helps protect the knees by keeping excess movement in check.
- Adjustable, asymmetrical mid-foot saddle creates a more secure, customizable fit.
- Lace-up closure.
- Plush tongue and collar.
- Comfortable fabric lining offers a great in-shoe feel.
- Removable moulded foam insole supplies light underfoot cushioning.
- BioMoGo DNA and DNA Loft midsole cushioning work together to provide an ideal underfoot softness and support while still providing excellent responsiveness and durability.
- Full-length, segmented Crash Pad ensures smooth transitions.
- Blown rubber forefoot.
- HPR Plus delivers long-lasting durability in high-wear areas of the outsole.
- Flextra rubber outsole piece offers a varied degree of support corresponding with gender and weight for enhanced flexibility.
- Deeper V-groove offers better release and improves transitions.
- Predecessor: Adrenaline GTS 18.
- Cushioning: High energizing cushioning.
- Surface: Road.
- Differential: 12 mm.

Confidence on display at conference of the faithful
Erica Virtue, Senior Gleaner Writer
THE EXPECTED lethargy from the harsh economic times, frozen wages, unemployment and personal hardships did little to dampen the spirits of those who travelled from communities across the island to hear Portia Simpson Miller address the People's National Party's (PNP) 76th annual conference.
Long-suffering Comrades ventured to the National Arena yesterday for the final-day celebrations with a show of strength in numbers, which Luther Buchanan, member of parliament for Eastern Westmoreland, estimated to be near 15,000.
Among them was a frail-looking O.D. Ramtallie, former government minister, and Marjorie Taylor, former member of parliament.
It was also a conference to remember Roger Clarke, the affable late agriculture minister who died August 28 and was laid to rest two weeks ago.
"This is a conference of the faithful. We are midway in the term, and look at the numbers that are here today ... . These are people who believe in the People's National Party, people who are confident in the leadership the party provides," said Buchanan, following the conclusion of proceedings.
Beverley Anderson Duncan was among those prominently seated on the platform who never missed a beat to the rhythm of Tony Rebel's Teach the Children. Nor did the Comrades decked out in their traditional orange and red garb.
As usual, the crowd outside the arena was larger than that inside, and the midday drizzle did little to take their eyes from the large screens set up outside for them to view the proceedings.
Inside, the entry of former party president P.J. Patterson was followed closely by current leader Simpson Miller, both arriving to loud sounds of vuvuzelas.
At times, the noise was deafening, but Comrades blew the horns in a show of confidence and support.
salute to roger clarke
Patterson saluted the memories of the late Sir Howard Cooke, whose death he said closed the chapter of the PNP's birth, and told Comrades that when the next 75 years of the party were written, Simpson Miller's leadership would be highly placed.
In memorialising the late agriculture minister, he said Clarke proved larger in death than he was in life.
Patterson said: "I will never be tired to see your face. That is what keeps me young, and that is what keeps me strong, when we as a party are moving forward to progress, in unity."
An emotional Simpson Miller again shed a tear or two at the short feature on Clarke, whose bust was carried in the arena by supporters from his constituency.
When the "long-foot girl from Wood Hall in St Catherine" came to the microphone to deliver a speech championing the party's achievements since it regained power, she took time to remember the family of Mario Deane, who was laid to rest yesterday.
She also remembered the family of Derreca Campbell, the York Castle High schoolgirl who died tragically in an accident last week.

- Page 4 Print Speeds & Running Costs Review
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £89.06
Epson, like several of the leading printer makers, is trying to move the inkjet all-in-one into the small business sphere and its new Stylus SX600FW appears fast and smartly styled. Office use is not just about looks and speed, though, as the total cost of ownership and ease of maintenance also play important roles.
This is a very sleek looking all-in-one and it looks as if Epson has had more than a passing glance at some of Canon's devices. While the design is different, the gloss black panels and subtle curves of the printer's top surface show some definite parallels.
A particularly elegant feature is the folding Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) tray, which not only becomes part of the machine's top cover, but also lifts the ADF output tray to continue the curve, leaving a completely smooth top surface when the ADF is closed.
The front panel has been considerably redesigned, too, with a 63mm colour LCD panel and a series of control buttons, all sitting smoothly flush with the piano-black panel front. There's a square of nine, large navigation controls, incorporating up/down buttons for number of copies, and there are easy ways to enlarge and reduce documents, too.
The standard number pad is supplemented by quick-dial fax numbers and last number dial and there's a four-way mode button to switch between scan, copy, fax and photo print modes. The control set is completed by large start and stop buttons.
Memory card slots for the common types, but excluding specialist slots for miniSD or microSD – you'll need an adapter – are grouped in the bottom left, together with a PictBridge socket for digital cameras, which can also take a standard flash drive. You can print from a flash drive and scan images to one, making it a versatile connection.
At the back, as well is a USB socket are others for cabled network, phone line and phone handset. This is a versatile machine when it comes to connections, as it also come with Wi-Fi as standard. Connection is straightforward, whichever method you choose.
In addition to the standard driver, Epson includes its useful Web-to-print utility, which squeezes prints of websites to fit paper width, and the Event Manager, which enables you to assign specific applications to the Start, Copy, E-mail and PDF buttons. Finally, there's a copy of Abbyy Finereader to handle Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
There's a lot you can do with this machine, without connecting to a PC. As well is the obvious functions of copying documents and printing from memory cards, Epson has been brainstorming and come up with a function to print stationery. It can print lined and squared paper and can also use an image from a memory card as a watermark on printed note paper. While this function produces pretty expensive writing paper, it's an interesting extension to the printing functions of the machine for special purposes.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

Good Morning World!
As the new season has arisen it is only fitting to hit the stores and accumulate loads more Autumnal clothing that you have convinced yourself that you need. I may have just done that, I spent one afternoon putting together an outfit made entirely of Topshop clothing. I am personally so in love with this outfit that I kid you not wear nothing else (maybe a slight exaggeration but this is my go-to outfit choice).
This outfit is made up of a pair of standard denim Jamie Jeans, a long sleeved high neck white bodysuit and a beautiful cross coloured cardigan which I live in. I feel this look gives off a chic guide without trying too hard. Not only does it provide comfort and warmth which is a must have for an Autumn wardrobe, but gives a stylish impression.
I hope you love this beginning of October look as much as I do.

Roger Shah & Sian Kosheen – Hide U
Roger Shah breathes new life into Siam Kosheen's 'Hide U', delivering a refreshingly, original take on this legendary dance classic.
Revolutionizing his sounds through his 'Openminded?!' artist album, sees German producer/DJ Roger Shah experimenting with different styles. The charismatic Magic Island label owner hasn't left his beloved Balearic trance sound, but there's definitely some new angles to be heard on this artist album. Same goes for the second single and follow-up to Moya Brannan collab 'Morning Star'.
Being a huge fan and having all of her albums, made collaborating with Kosheen a dream come true for Shah. Roger:"We spoke about options to have her join me to perform live on stage for my shows and after we confirmed this, I came up with the idea to do a new version of 'Hide U', which has been her worldwide top 10 hit record. I just did the new version to have it for our live performances but when it was finished everybody was like 'wow, why just using it live?'. So our both managements made it happen, that we can release this huge track of her as an official collaboration and new release of this all-time classic. For the past 10 years, there have always been bootlegs or cover versions around, but this is the first official re-release of this classic, so I have to admit that I'm a little bit proud of it!"
The new version of 'Hide U' is seductive and powerful, riding a sound that lays between progressive and trance. Energetic stabs, intense vocals by Kosheen and the absolute power to move you, that's what Roger Shah & Kosheen's new 'Hide U' is all about!
Dutch producer Mischa Daniels, no stranger of taking on the remix duties for big room vocal anthems, gave 'Hide U' a firm house shake. Consistently building tension, but giving you that real housy punch, makes his remix a great addition to this must-have pack!

I recently discovered a Venetian blog http://www.venetiancat.blogspot.com which takes me on a mini trip without leaving my home.
From wonderful posts on eyeglasses made from wood, beeswax and cotton, to the wedding of the century on May 14th, pictured above, to commenting on Maestro Lino Tagliapietra's Retrospective Work exhibit, blogger Cat Bauer has a lot to say. (And if you are one of my very old friends who might wonder, no, she is not a relative.)
Hope you enjoy the witty posts as much as I do. Ciao!

We have seen the ambitions Phonebloks concept in the past. But while the idea was definitely amazing, it was hard not to get cynical about its success, considering it was just guy with an idea trying to get the attention of companies around the world to make it a reality.
But what if one of those companies decided to take the idea and do something about it? Presenting the Motorola Ara, a modular phone concept that might actually become real one day.
Just like with Phonebloks, the Ara will have removable modules that will let you replace or upgrade specific parts of the device. This makes repair and upgrading easy but also lets you customize the phone to your exact needs. You can choose only those modules that are important to you and skimp out on the others.
The Motorola Ara project has been in development for a year now, so it's not something Motorola put together when they saw the Phonebloks video. Motorola will also be working with the creator of the Phonebloks concept Dave Hakkens on the Ara project.
Motorola will soon be sending invites to developers to start working on modules for the Ara and an alpha version of a Module Developer's Kit will be released in winter.
Just in case you didn't know, Project Ara IS Phonebloks. The person behind Phonebloks really was working for Motorola, and the posts he made were attempts to see how great of a market there was for a modular phone. I don't remember the links offhand,...
great idea.nice job moto-google to decide to make it reality
I believe Ara concept will eventually save the consumers pockets as there will be no need to buy an entire new Phone if my Phone's one part becomes defected.

Well, I have to say I've never been a fan of Red Hat linux, but their new version 8 (V8) seems to finally be what the "Linux People" have been claiming about earlier distros for years—an easy to install operating system that works as advertised.

Earlier this week I installed RHLV8 on an old Dell (PentiumIII 450/256MB RAM), and it was nothing more than shoving CDs into the drive, selecting packages, and rebooting. I was duly impressed. Even more important, the application I wish to use, Radiance, compiled on the first try, with no modifications to the makefile required. Now, that is even more impressive than the easy OS install.

I have an extremely poor track record for getting Linux up and running and getting Radiance to compile, but I am slowly moving toward using Radiance in a production capacity at my job, so it's time to get over that learning curve. My PowerBook, and particularly OSX have been instrumental in getting a working Radiance system together for my learning pleasure. But I can't exactly leave my laptop running all night to do lighting simulations, and besides I can buy a lot more CPU cycles for my dollar with an Athlon box to chew on these Radiance calculations. So it was time to finally get a Linux box up and running.

In the past, I had tried RHL but had problems compiling Radiance. My friend Georg Mischler suggested I try SuSE Linux, which was a good deal easier to install, but soon after I got that distro up and running a fire in my apartment building destroyed that computer. A couple of years went by, and OSX came out, and well the rest is history. I always knew I'd have to return to Linux; for some reason I picked up Red Hat's new distro, on a whim. Again, I can't believe how easy it was to install, and I'm thrilled that Radiance compiled without a hitch.

It remains to be seen if my experience will be as pleasant on newer hardware, but I hope to find that out soon enough.

Lighting products
In the average U.S. home, lighting accounts for about 20% of the electric bill. The easiest way to start saving energy is to change out the light bulbs in your current fixtures. A compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL) should save about $30 over its lifetime and pay for itself in about 6 months. It uses 75 percent less energy and lasts about 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb.
Energy-efficient appliances incorporate advanced technologies that use 10% to 50% less energy and water than standard models. These appliances may include clothes washers and dryers, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers, and room air conditioners and air cleaners.
Home Electronics
U.S. households typically spend $100 per year to power devices while they are in this "standby" power mode to power features like clock displays and remote controls. Specified products use less energy to perform these functions, while providing the same performance and features as conventional models.

Travel Tips
Travel Tip: How To Get Early Boarding On Planes
Want to know how to get early boarding? It used to be that getting onto a plane early depended on your seat. But these days, even coach passengers can board early…if they pay for the privilege.
Many airlines offer early boarding upgrades at check in. But it's only worth it if you need access to overhead space or hate standing in lines.
American Airlines lets you join Group 1 with the Choice Essential or Choice Plus packages.
Prices vary, so these add-ons range from from $50 to well over $150. They also come with perks like a free checked bag and miles.
You get early boarding on Delta if you book with a Gold, Platinum, or Reserve Skymiles Card. But those have annual fees, which only makes sense if you fly Delta often.
Southwest has no assigned seating, so everything depends on your boarding position.
Pay $12 for EarlyBird check in, which automatically checks you in 36 hours in advance and improves your chance for early boarding. Or, you can pay about $40 at the gate to be in Group A.
There's also BusinessSelect for guaranteed early boarding. But this can be really expensive…just for a seat closer to the front, plus a free drink? Probably not worth it.
For more information, visit the Airlines & Airports archives.

How to Pickle Green Beans
Serve up a zesty, crunchy snack in a pinch with these easy instructions.
Pickling can be daunting to the uninitiated. If the thought of dealing with having to process all those jars in a water bath is intimidating or you are hesitant to make even a small investment in canning equipment, refrigerator pickles are an easy way to dip your foot into the brine. Lesson one: Don't dip your foot in the brine. This recipe for pickled green beans, lovingly referred to as "dilly beans" will get you on the road to home pickling in my favorite way. Dilly beans are among my favorite pickles and this small batch recipe isn't even the least bit scary.
This recipe for all-purpose "quickles" (quick pickles, natch) can be applied to all manner of vegetables, which comes in mighty handy when one somehow comes home with 25 pounds of carrots and not a rabbit in sight.
Refrigerator Dilly Beans
3 pints green beans
3 sprigs fresh dill
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoons whole peppercorns
Cut or snap the strings from beans and pack into 3 pint jars.
Place 1 sprig dill and 2 cloves of garlic in each jar.
Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, mustard seed and peppercorns in a non-reactive pot and bring to boil.
Remove brine from heat and let cool at least 15 minutes.
Pour brine into jars to cover beans.
Cap tightly and refrigerate.
Dilly beans will be ready to eat after 2-3 days, but are best after one week.

A winery I've long wanted to visit is Opus One. Elegant and iconic, the low-lying, pyramid-like structure on Napa's Highway 29 is a beacon for those that know the wines, and those that don't. American and French flags proudly wave side by side over the entrance, symbolizing the Mondavi and Rothschild partnership. I couldn't wait to see inside.
The first thing I was impressed with was my guide. Nancy who led my tour was a seasoned expert. She welcomed our small group into a lounge for a taste of Overture, Opus's second wine while explaining the winery's history and the joint partnership between Robert Mondavi and Bordeaux's Baron Philippe de Rothschild.
Opus One is not only a Bordeaux-style wine made in California; it combines the skills and ideas of the top vintners in the US and France at the time, incorporates the French style of blending wines, and uses Bordeaux varietals grown in California. In the 1970s, when Mondavi and Rothschild were making plans for a Napa wine, such a partnership was unheard of. Today the wines are highly sought after and a testament to the vision of both men. Neither wanted a French or English name, so Baron came up with a Latin name, Opus.
Today, with her father gone, Baroness Philippine looks after wine relationship on behalf of the Rothschilds along with the other owner, Constellation Brands. (Constellation purchased Robert Mondavi Winery in 2004).
Nancy started the first part of the tour in the vineyard explaining the meticulous care and attention the organic vines receive. When asked about biodynamic farming, she mentioned they are testing this currently in the To Kalon vineyard. At Opus every cluster of grapes is hand-harvested, placed in small picking boxes, and goes through a hand sorting process, as well as a scanner to sort by color.
Inside the winery we were escorted past the winemaker's laboratory to the top floor where grapes are received during harvest. Like many of the top wineries I've seen, Opus One is designed on a gravity flow system. Many top wineries do this as it's gentler on the grapes, protects the fruit flavors and produces better wines. Simply put, grapes come in at the top, go through sorting, and then travel to tanks underneath the sorting floor that are dedicated to each single lot of grapes. During the winemaking process the wine continues down the levels of the winery to the barrel aging stage in the cave ("Grand Chai") on the bottom level.
Finally, we went down to the "Grand Chai" which houses 1,000 barrels in a semi circle. The room actually mirrors the shape of the courtyard above it so it is hard to get a sense of size. We then began our double tasting to compare two vintages of the wines.
With only 25,000 cases a year, and bottles pricing at $225, this is often one of the rare chances you have to try these wines by the glass. In the private tasting area you are not rushed and have plenty of time to sit and savor the wines. Nancy graciously said her goodbyes and led us to the terrace upstairs to finish our wines.
The Tasting Room at Opus One itself is a small lounge with outdoor patio. It is only open to those on the tours or with prior appointments. You'll find friendly, welcoming staff who are happy to pour you another wine at $40 a glass or purchase any of the bottles.
Expert tip:
A winery visit at Opus One is ideal for those that are aware of the winery's unique story. I will mention though, that because Opus is a well-known Napa icon, you may find people on the tour, as I did, who had not tasted before and this was their first winery visit and first time to Napa. The guides are exceptional at explaining the details and can handle all questions. My tip here is to book well in advance as this is a popular winery and tours are limited to 12 guests, or 6 for the Double Vintage tour.

The roots of a plant or tree feed the vegetation and keep it growing. When you discover an unwanted plant in your yard, you need a fast and effective way to kill it. Killing the roots of the plant is a simple way to ensure that you kill the plant and permanently eliminate it. Without the roots delivering food and water to the rest of the plant, it slowly dies. Killing the roots will kill both plants and trees of different types. You must first locate the roots of the plant.
Dig around the base of the plant or tree, exposing the roots. Dig a trench around the roots with a shovel. This keeps treatment confined to the roots you wish to kill and prevents treatments from affecting other plants.
Cover the roots with salt. Salt will kill almost anything it comes into contact with, including the plant roots. Apply more salt after every rain because rain transforms the salt into harmless saltwater and will prevent the salt from working effectively.
Coat the roots of the tree or plant with herbicide. Spraying the herbicide on the roots causes the plant to absorb the herbicide and spread it through the rest of the plant.
Pour mulch over the top of the roots. Mulch essentially suffocates the roots of the plant by blocking the roots from obtaining the nutrients the plant needs for survival.
Drown the roots with water. Keep pouring water on the roots until you thoroughly saturate the surrounding ground and the water pools in the bottom of the hole. Plants and trees need water to survive, but too much water will kill them.
Things You Will Need
- Shovel
- Mulch
- Salt
- Herbicide
- Consider cutting into the roots of the plant, chopping off the ends. The exposed ends absorb more of your treatment.

Most fabrics, including wool, tend to yellow over time as a natural process of ageing and exposure to light, air, body oils and dirt takes effect. Even the products used to clean and bleach wool can contribute to this yellowing. So what to do to rescue that favourite wool sweater or heirloom hand-knitted infant bootees to make them look fresh and new again? One of the gentlest means of washing wool in order to remove the yellowed appearance is to use white vinegar. Not only is it gentle, but white vinegar is safe, inexpensive and effective. In addition to what to use to remove yellowing, it is important to note how to wash wool. Wool has a tendency to shrink and mat together when it experiences agitation and drying by hot air. So hand wash if possible or use the gentle cycle on the washer if it cannot be hand washed. And let it air-dry.
Mix one part white vinegar to 12 parts water.
Place the wool into the water, press it down into the water and let the water soak in. Move gently if needed, but avoid strong agitation to prevent the fibres from matting together or stretching. Let it soak for twenty minutes.
Rinse thoroughly to remove the vinegar.
Drain the water from the wool item as best you can. Gently lay the item onto a towel and roll it up, pressing to remove moisture. Unroll the towel and blot the item.
Place a dry towel on a flat surface and lay the item on it to dry. Block or shape the wool item to its original shape. Let it dry overnight. Turn it over and let the other side dry. Drying time will vary depending on humidity, temperature and the thickness of the wool.
Most recent
- Bleach, over time, not only can contribute to the yellowing of wool, it also can break down the fibres of the wool, making them weaker and damage the wool. So it should be avoided.
- Alkaline products, such as soap, can contribute to yellowing and felting of wool. Detergents are less alkaline, so opt to wash your wools with them instead. Natural detergents are available if desired.

Cilantro Lime Chicken Nachos
Cilantro Lime Chicken Nachos: lime and blue tortilla chips are topped with cilantro lime grilled chicken, homemade cheese sauce, jalapeños and green onions. Simple but crazy good.
It's nacholicious.
At least is was Sunday night in the DeMu household. Haha, DeMu. My silly attempt at combining Ken and I's last names in order to give our household a name. It's catchier than our household, though, isn't it? House of DeMu. Or House DeMu, Game of Thrones style.
Speaking of Game of Thrones, I just realized that I haven't watched this past Sunday's episode yet. We were having too much fun with nachos and a marathon of Bar Rescue.
That's the host of bar rescue getting mad and throwing nachos. Don't worry, he wasn't throwing our nachos. I think he'd like our nachos.
Our nachos are made with fresh marinated chicken, organic tortilla chips and a homemade cheese sauce that only contains 3 simple ingredients.
Cilantro Lime Chicken Nachos
I didn't want Ken to lose any of his grilling skills {wink wink} so I had him grill our cilantro-lime-limoncello marinated chicken. Plus, grilled chicken is just so much better. Wait did I say limoncello? Do I have ADD? Maybe so. But I did use limoncello in the marinade. I wanted to use tequila but I didn't have any. Tequila lime marinade. Yeah, that's good. Good when you have tequila.
I based my marinade recipe off of my Tequila Lime Shrimp Tacos marinade. I got the limoncello inspiration with a little help from my friend Carrie's Limon Lime Margarita recipe.
Seriously, the chicken was crazy good. I almost ate all of it before it made it to the nachos.
Enjoy the recipe, folks.
- ¾ lb chicken breast cut into small cubes
- Tortilla chips
- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Sliced green onion
- Jalapenos
- 2 tbsp limoncello or tequila
- Juice from one large lime
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- dash of lime zest
- Pinch of ground chipotle pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ C olive oil
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 C shredded quesadilla cheese
- 1 C shredded Mexican Cheese
- ½ C to 1 C milk, plus more if needed
- In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2-4 hours. Once the chicken is done marinating, preheat your grill. Cook the chicken in a grill wok until done. This will only take about 10 minutes at a high temp.
- Make the cheese sauce by melting the quesadilla cheese, the shreeded cheese and milk in a sauce pan over medium heat. Gradually add more milk until desired thickness is met. If your cheese is too stringy, add a dash of beer, white wine or white vinegar to the mix. This will prevent the cheese from becoming too stringy.
- Place the tortilla chips in a bowl or pan. I used a 9 inch round cake pan.
- Top with the chicken, cheese sauce, jalapenos and green onions. Garnish with your favorite condiments, such as salsa, guacamole or sour cream.

That's how many days since the birth of Little Matt; and what an event that was! We're happy to have shared each and every one of those days with him.
Ruthie 4.0
Celebrating the 4th anniversary of the birth of our littlest lady Ruth Elizabeth.
The periodic…..stand?
He may be a chemistry nerd, and kinda camera shy, but he sure can build some solid, and good-looking furniture. We had an old decrepit cabinet that we were using in a corner of the kitchen to hold up the berkey water filter. It started to disintegrate, so Ian and I spent an hour or so this past Saturday putting together a super sturdy new stand for the water filter, and a place for Taya to store cloths and towels. Here's Ian sheepishly showing off his handiwork.
As in…. 72 pints of salsa, 45 pints tomato soup, 24 quarts spaghetti sauce, and 3 pints ketchup. Wow. Taya and the children have really put in the hours processing tomatoes this year! We planted about 75 paste-type plants, and 20-25 "eating" plants – heirlooms, cherries, and a couple new varieties to try. We had a good year with tomatoes for sure, and I learned that the Lemon Boy variety is not for us.
The biggest thing I realize each and every year – Taya absolutely hates tomatoes, but she puts them up for us each year anyway. Hours spent processing and canning, for something you don't even like. That, my friends is sacrificial.
Here is one day's worth of processing, literally from dawn until dusk.
Step 1 – harvest: I picked about 2 bushels of tomatoes early in the morning. Starting at about dawn. This is the after about an hour of picking.
Step 2 – cut and process: Taya cored and cut all those tomatoes, then the children cranked the Roma food mill to extract the juice for sauce and soup. The "guts" get saved to make Taya's delicious salsa. Add onions, peppers, spices and cook. MMMMM.
Step 3 – cook: Using our outside stove, the sauce cooks down for several hours to thicken, and meld the seasonings together. Looks delicious.
Step 4 – preserve: In order to enjoy the fresh tomatoes all winter long, we have to run the pressure canner for 90 minutes a batch. Notice how it's dark outside now…. Literally dawn to dusk. But it's so worth it.
Another year's tomato harvest is pretty much over. I'm pulling out most of the plants, as the determinate plants are pretty much done, and the indeterminates are starting to get hit with late blight. I'm trying the "vehicle method" for making sundried tomatoes with some of the stragglers, but the big rush of the tomato season is over. We're definitely grateful for a bountiful harvest, and for giving us the skills and facilities to preserve it for the cold months.
Until next time…..
6 years!!!
It's hard to believe we've only had Liberty with us for 6 short years. Yesterday we celebrated the 6th anniversary of her birth. Wow they get big fast…..
Happy Birthday Liberty Faith!
Until next time…..
I don't think there's enough milk and sugar to make this stuff drinkable!!!
A couple weeks ago, I stumbled across a YouTube video from David The Good called Totally Insane Compost Tea Recipe that got me to thinking. I had read about this idea a few years ago in Sepp Holzer's Permaculture, and kind of filed it away as something to try later. Well, it's later…..
We've had a big morning glory problem in our gardens this year, with all of the late rain and hot/humid conditions, and I needed a way to dispose of it. I had been yanking it up, and hanging the carcasses on the fences to dry out, or chucking it into the driveway where it hopefully will not re-root. Morning glory is one of those weeds I consider noxious, even if the USDA doesn't agree with me. Once it gets started, it will take over quickly, and strangle plants and bushes. If you pull it out, and don't get every little teeny-tiny bit of the root, it comes back with a vengeance; kind of like horseradish. And if you let it go to seed; well you just don't want to do that. It's not something you can really "chop-and-drop" either, I've had plants re-root themselves and grow back after pulling it up.
Now unlike horseradish, I don't know of too many redeeming qualities for morning glory. I don't think it's really edible, the flowers are nice- but very short-lived, it does provide a living cover- but it tends to kill whatever it covers, the vines really aren't good for doing anything with- unlike wild grapevines. What on earth was it created for??? Well thank you David The Good for showing me a way to use morning glory, and reminding me about the benefits of compost tea. Turns out The Creator actually had a purpose in mind for this noxious weed we call morning glory.
An unused, shady corner of our big garden had become an absolute massive jungle of morning glory. Impossible to even walk thru. I scared up a barrel, and started working on cleaning up this corner. Why the barrel? Well, it's one of the important parts of the compost tea; the other 2 parts – water, and weeds. I spent several mornings pulling morning glory vines, and stuffing them down into the barrel. I put a lid on the barrel to keep the mosquitoes out. After filling the barrel, and packing it down, I had nearly 100 pounds of morning glory vines in a 40 gallon barrel! I said we had a morning glory problem. I filled the barrel up to overflowing with water, and let it work for a few days. Oh, and if you watch the video all the way to the end, there's that secret ingredient that I added as well.
After about a week in the heat, I ended up with the WORST smelling liquid I've ever run across. I was a little afraid to dip it out, but I dunked a half-bucket out, watered it down a bit, and poured it on some of the fall cauliflower, broccoli and brussel sprout seedlings. The smell was so strong, I half expected the plants to either wilt over, or grow 2 feet in an instant; kinda like in a cartoon. That didn't happen, but within a week's time, those puny little seedlings definitely put on some growth. I've since dosed the okra plants, and seen some noticeable results. I missed a couple plants, and they aren't putting out the okra pods yet, like their neighbors are starting to.
Another benefit of the Insane Compost Tea – since the weeds are rotting away in the water, I feel fairly safe in using the rotted remains of the vines as a mulch (mulchilizer). I would never consider doing this with even dried up morning glory vines. I would be afraid of one of them taking root again. But the remains of these vines could not possibly be viable – I hope. I just planted a fall crop of peas and snow peas today, maybe I'll side dress the seedlings with some morning-glory-vine-mulchilizer.
Anyway – hopefully this will inspire some folks to try the Insane Compost Tea, and turn an otherwise useless, noxious weed into valuable fertility for the garden, and delicious, nutritious home-grown produce.
Until next time…..
Send in the clones
Grape juice, grape jelly, grape wine, grape wine vinegar. We use grapes in so many ways, and we never seem to have enough. So back in the early part of February this year I decided to try my hand at cloning our grape vines. After a little light reading and a trip to the feed store, I was ready. Early to mid February is the best time around here to prune grape vines. It's past the cold part of the year, so any diseases or pests are dead; and it's before it starts really warming up, so the sap is still down and the vines won't bleed.
- Pruners- make sure they're sharp
- A sharp knife
- A container of bleach water (a half-capful in a pint jar is plenty strong)
- Rooting compound powder
- A bucket of wet sand
- A plastic grocery bag
Prune your vines like you normally would, and choose your best looking vines to clone. You want the section closest to the main stem – the fatter part, and make sure they're about the diameter of your pinky finger or bigger. If you've ever pruned grape vines before you know the huge pile of cuttings you end up with. You can be picky; make sure there are no diseased or damaged sections.
Cut them down to size – you need 3 or more "nodes" – the bumpy part of the grape vine – on each cutting. Leave ½ to 1 inch below the bottom node (yes it matters top and bottom). Then take your sharp knife and scrape just the outer layer of bark off the vine to expose the green part underneath. Immediately dip this section into your bleach water solution, and then into your rooting powder. Roll it around and completely coat that green part, and the bottom node too. The rooting compound has a hormone in it, derived from willow trees that stimulate root growth in your plant. You want to coat that bottom end really well. After you've got it coated, stick it down into your bucket of wet sand. I ended up with about 15 cuttings in each of my buckets of sand. You can do as many as will fit, or you can even do individual pots if you don't want to have to re-pot them later; just make sure you cover each one up to the second node with sand. Then you have to cover the container up. You need something to keep the humidity extremely high during the rooting process. I use plastic grocery bags; they're big enough to go around the tops of the buckets, and stay on nicely. Once your container is covered, put it in a warm area, out of direct sunlight. It doesn't have to be a dark room, but it can't be in the sunlight, or you will bake your grapevines. I stuck them in the shower, since a couple of the buckets had cracks and leaked; kind of a pain to drag them out every time to take a shower, but it kept the floor dry. Check them every week or so to make sure that the sand is still wet. You don't want them to be under water, but you don't want them to dry out at all. It's critical to keep a high humidity level at this stage.
After about 4-5 weeks, you should begin to notice the buds swelling, and leaves starting to form at one or more of the nodes of the cutting. You can take the cover off at this stage, but be careful to keep them hydrated. It's best to water them every day at this stage; because there aren't any real roots to speak of yet, and the plant can dry out very quickly thru those new leaves. If you notice the leaves starting to droop, go ahead and put the vine sections back under their plastic bag tent.
After about another month or so, I should begin to see new growth on my cuttings, and the roots should be starting to form too. I've re-potted mine before this happens, as I don't want to damage the new baby roots. I put them in a potting mix with some added vermiculite to help keep things hydrated, and allow the roots room to form. I'm keeping a close eye on the leaves for signs of wilting, which will tell me that they are getting dehydrated, and I need to tent them to increase their humidity level. In late May, I hope to be able to plant the started cuttings in the ground.
Hopefully by next summer, we'll be harvesting some grapes off these cloned vines. Even if things go extremely well this year, and these start to try and produce fruit, we need to pinch off any fruit that forms, so the plant can put energy into roots. Next year should be ok for a limited amount of fruit, and after that we should be absolutely swimming in grapes. I made 64 cuttings, and 61 of them seem to have taken. So I now have 61 little grape starts with lots of new leaves on them, waiting to take root. Kind of exciting watching God's creation spring to new life this time of year.
Until next time…..

Washington Monument in the Fall (Post Election)
Originally uploaded by SigEp NV Alpha '03
The moment the election was called for Obama, Tom and I started wondering the best way to get to see the Inauguration. This will be, as we have all been endlessly reminded, a significant historical event, and it seems to us that one of the best things about life in DC is the opportunity to get up close to history when it happens. So we started asking our various members of Congress for Inaugural tickets, offering up our couch to friends who might want to crash with us if they're coming into town, and plotting the best way to see it even if we can't get a ticket. We do, after all, have a very nice TV if all else fails.
It sounds like the Park Service is already planning for massive crowds on the Mall. The ceremony is on the Capitol steps, so most of the Mall won't have a good view, but there's talk of Jumbotrons all over the Mall and the parade route to include as many people as possible in the festivities.
The estimate is that the Mall itself can hold 3 million people, and officials are working hard to avoid the Bicentennial debacle where there was insufficient infrastructure to get everyone out of the city after the festivities were over.
Do you have Inaugural plans yet?

iPrint Reports Q3 Results: Continues Cost Reduction, Top Execs Take Pay Cut
Tuesday, October 30, 2001
Press release from the issuing companyREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 29, 2001 -- iPrint Technologies, inc., the leading online printing technology and infrastructure provider, today announced revenues of $1.6 million for the third fiscal quarter of 2001. Pro forma net loss for the third quarter was $3.4 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with a pro forma net loss of $3.5 million, or $0.12 per share, in the second quarter of 2001, and a pro forma net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.23 per share, in the third quarter of 2000. On a comparative basis, the pro forma net loss for the third quarter beat the unrevised First Call consensus estimate of a net loss of $0.13 per share by $0.02. Pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share excludes non-cash compensation charges and corporate restructure costs. "In Q3, we put energy into reorganizing in preparation for our merger with Wood Associates,'' stated Royal P. Farros, Chairman and CEO of iPrint Technologies, inc. "We are pleased to say that iPrint and Wood shareholders have approved the merger and the transaction should close within the week. We expect to see a big jump in Q4 revenues as a result.'' On October 25, 2001, iPrint announced that its stockholders had approved a proposal for iPrint to merge with Wood Associates, one of the leading suppliers of custom imprinted promotional items and marketing programs to the Fortune 1000. With 19 offices nationwide, Wood Associates services over 200 Fortune 1000 enterprise customers, including AOL Time Warner, BP, Charles Schwab, and Compaq. "We've already begun making sweeping changes within our organization, particularly in our sales and operating infrastructures where we believe we will see a lot of leveraged operating benefits and cost savings,'' continued Farros. "With Wood's presence in the Fortune 1000, this combination gives iPrint Technologies a much stronger base to service the enterprise marketplace.'' Cash, short-term investments and short-term restricted cash totaled $12.0 million as of September 30, 2001, compared to $18.2 million as of June 30, 2001. Including secured, long-term notes payable to the company on demand as of September 30, 2001, the total is $12.9 million compared to $19.1 million as of June 30, 2001. As of September 30, 2001, there were approximately 30.2 million shares of common stock outstanding. "In addition to the infrastructure changes we're making, our executive team will be taking a 10% salary reduction and we'll be suspending any executive cash bonus programs from the merger date throughout Q4,'' added Farros. "We will also implement a mandatory time-off policy for appropriate personnel through the Thanksgiving and year-end holiday weeks. We will continue these and other aggressive cost-cutting activities--while simultaneously focusing on just the strongest areas of our business--until we achieve our most important goal: Profitability.'' Other Third Quarter Highlights - Gross margin was 37% compared to 31% in Q3 2000. - Performed additional cost cutting actions at the end of Q3, including reducing headcount from 80 at the end of Q2 2001 to 68 at the end of Q3 2001 and vacating the Menlo Park, CA facility. - Delivered proxy statement/prospectus to shareholders with detailed information about the proposed merger transaction with Wood Associates. - Executed Strategic Development Agreement with Wood Associates that allowed iPrint to begin integrating technology platforms while awaiting shareholder approval. Financial Guidance Previous guidance contemplated the merger transaction being concluded by the end of Q3. The merger is now expected be consummated on October 31, 2001. As a result, the company believes fourth quarter operating results will include two months of joint operation, not three. On a pro forma basis, the company believes revenues will be up significantly in Q4 to $8 million as compared to $1.6 million in Q3 and loss per share will remain flat to slightly higher as compared with Q3. Because of the delayed merger timing, the company is revising annual guidance to $15.5 million as compared to previous low end guidance of $22.5 million and a pro forma net loss per share of $0.52-$0.55 as compared to $0.45-$0.50. The company believes it has appropriate cash reserves to reach profitability.
