Pantsu was walked past Olympic Mall in HK, and went to an exhibition.
Woo !! look at that, It called the Rubber Man ...
Pantsu: I do really want one ... Iet's send Dai Fu - News Reportor to do so ......
Pantsu: After i chat with Dai Fu - News Reportor, we planned to use Pantsu - ZERO (Dai Fu Lou #0) to exchange the Rubber Man.
NEWs Reportor Mission complete !!
Look at that " Dai Fu - Rubber Man "
This Picture by Dai Fu - News Reportor "Prove I am there !!!!!!!"
Pantsu: At the End, Dai Fu - News Reportor and Rubber Man became a New Friend !!
BUT NOT MEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........
Actually very showing very special product one is the animated book of Dai Fu Lou. Also very first time we did a crossover and we made a plush toy of Cotton Candy X Dai Fu Lou which is super funny but also learned allot about making a plush.
Also Cotton Candy and Dai Fu Lou were at a big Fair in China Shenzhen but that wasn't much of great mostly got plundered by children wanting the sticker and people thinking everything is free to take. Also our handmade Dai Fu Lou figure got stolen which we wanted to take around the world, but it seems it that China was it final destinations after travelling from Hong Kong to Britain, The Netherlands, Germany and back to Hong Kong and then to China Shenzhen Original Design Trade Fair.
The picture above is the missing figure very tiny but very first hand made figure we made of Dai Fu Lou, if anyone finds it or is the one taken it, can they please contact us can give it back!!!
What is a better way to promote than having a big ass banner in the middle of the most busy street in Mong Kok!
As you might see it, both are the same photo, its just a photoshop but still well done hehe.
After testing out the small paper version though: Why not just make a big one!
So here it is, the basic shape and still had to figure out what to do but now some playing around with it!!!
And now adding some colors too it!
For those in China go below and watch the video with the 56 player.
Check for more info at Nokia App comeptition in the link below:
This app is mostly frustration for people riding the bus in Hong Kong mostly no real indications of where you are, and when riding the light / mini bus you need to indicate to the bus driver yourself where you wan to get off. And often on long rides you might fall asleep and miss your stop. With this concept app you would be warned when you are close to your destination so you are warned when to get off on time.

After hours of sketching and finally found the design of Dai Fu Lou we wanted to finally see Dai Fu Lou in 3d in the real shape. We eventually make 2 designs and printed them out and put them together. One is a perfect realistic underwear shape and the other is just flat and squared, while bother looks cool we went for the squared one cause he is most funny looking and not trying to make too realistic. However it does not mean the other will be forgotten maybe somewhere in the future they might come back and challenge each other again.
But then we have another problem the body cause only a head is not a full character. So the first was quickly made by Alan and made a quick and funny video of it below. But what also very first video with Dai Fu Lou so should not take it much serious.
But then needed color and more to find a character we want. But also the body was too flat we had to search for more options like other toys but didn't work.
But then just though why not the first one but then not flat.
It was good in the begin but the body looks static and dull after a while and could not do much with the body, but now designing a brand new one more movement and also making Dai Fu Lou more him and more like a Designer Toy!
Coolest funniest but also interesting character. Dai Fu Lou meaning in Cantonese Underwear man, is a special character made for showing off what normally is not ...Read more

JVCC CPST-68 Cargo Pit Seam Tape is a fiberglass cloth overstock product received in which comes on a plain white core. Because it is overstock material from a manufacturer we can not provide any certificates of conformance for the product. The tape's bright white glass cloth backing blends well with Tedlar (PVF) liner panels and its acrylic adhesive bonds well to both new and worn Tedlar panels. The tape is useful anywhere you need a conformable tape to put over contoured surfaces like mechanical fasteners as well anywhere you need abrasion resistance.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

What Happens During Chemotherapy for Melanoma
Most people with melanoma have chemotherapy in an outpatient part of the hospital, at the doctor's office, or at home. You might go to a special chemotherapy-only clinic. Depending on which drugs you receive and your general health, you might stay in the hospital during treatment. You can take chemotherapy in pill form, by injection, or in more than one way. For melanoma, intravenous (IV) injection is most common.
You get chemotherapy in cycles over a period of time. That means you may take the drugs for a set amount of time and then you have a rest period. Each period of treatment and rest is one cycle. And you may have several cycles. Having chemotherapy in cycles helps in these ways:
The drugs kill more cancer cells because all cells aren't all dividing at the same time.
Your body gets a rest from the chemotherapy. Treatment damages quickly dividing normal cells, too, such as those in the lining of your mouth or stomach.
You get an emotional break between treatments.
Commonly used drugs for melanoma
These are chemotherapy drugs that doctors often use for melanoma:
BCNU (carmustine)
DTIC (dacarbazine)
Paraplatin (carboplatin)
Platinol (cisplatin)
Taxol (paclitaxel)
Temodar, Temodal (temozolomide)
Velban (vinblastine)
It's important for you to know which drugs you're taking. Write your drugs down, ask your doctor how they work and what side effects they might have, and keep a written diary of your regimen.
For melanoma, you may get more than one drug, which is called combination therapy. This may lower the chance that the cancer will develop a resistance to one drug, although for melanoma it's not clear if this is better than using just one drug. Combination therapy can include several days of treatment given every three to four weeks. But the schedule varies for each person. Which drugs you get and how often you get them depend on many factors, including your general health.
If you are having chemotherapy, you may have it combined with immunotherapy. Doctors sometimes call this biochemotherapy.
Isolated limb perfusion
If the melanoma is located on a leg or arm, you may also get the chemotherapy drugs by isolated limb perfusion. This procedure involves surgery and injection of a high dose of chemotherapy in the limb where the cancer has recurred. The doctor temporarily cuts off the circulation to the affected arm or leg while anticancer drugs go directly into the bloodstream of that limb. The doctor inserts a catheter to withdraw blood from the limb. Then the doctor transfers the blood to a machine, where it mixes with oxygen and chemotherapy drugs. The drugs can be given at higher doses because they do not reach the rest of the body. The temperature of the blood goes up as well to improve the success of the treatment. The doctor uses another catheter to return the treated blood to your limb. The whole procedure takes about two to three hours.

Arc Outage (Arc Transfer)Tuesday, March 13th, 2012
If the plasma arc extinguishes while trying to cut, it could be that the arc has not transferred and the plasma cutter still thinks it is in pilot mode. While in pilot mode the plasma cutter will limit how long the machine is on for safety reasons.
In order to ensure that the arc transfers to the workpiece and into cut mode, make sure that there is a good connection from the work clamp to the workpiece. Grind off any rust or paint in a small area, and hook up the work clamp to that spot. The plasma arc can cut through paint and rust, but the work clamp needs to have contact with bare metal.
Also remember that electricity is lazy and takes the path of least resistance. Make sure that the torch is close to the workpiece. All Miller plasma cutters come standard with a drag shield on the torch, so go ahead and drag the shield on the piece you are cutting. The drag shield provides the optimized standoff height for cutting.

Staying Healthy May Mean Learning To Love Our Microbiomes
Originally published on Thu September 5, 2013 5:07 pm
Not so long ago, most people thought that the only good microbe was a dead microbe.
But then scientists started to realize that even though some bugs can make us sick and even kill us, most don't.
In fact, in the past decade attitudes about the bacteria, fungi, viruses and other microbes living all over our bodies has almost completely turned around. Now scientists say that not only are those microbes often not harmful, we can't live without them.
"The vast majority of them are beneficial and actually essential to health," says Lita Proctor, program director for the Human Microbiome Project at the National Institutes of Health. The project is identifying microbes on key body parts, including the nose, gut, mouth and skin, in order to get a better sense of the microbes' role in human health.
This sea change began with a pretty simple realization.
"When you're looking in the mirror, what you're really looking at is there are 10 times more microbial cells than human cells," Proctor says. "In almost every measure you can think of, we're more microbial than human."
The horde of microbes is so vast that their genes swamp our genes. In fact, 99 percent of the genes contained in and on our bodies are microbial genes.
Scientists are getting a much broader idea of what microbes do for us. We've known for a long time that we depend on bacteria to digest food. But there's a growing realization that they're really like an 11th organ system. Proctor says, "You know, you have your lungs, you have your heart and, you know, you have your microbiome."
This week, scientists from NIH and research institutions are gathering in Bethesda, Md., to debate the microbiome's role in disease and human health, including obesity, behavior, heart disease and cancer.
Perhaps one of the most important things the microbiome does it to train the human immune system, starting at birth.
"It learns early on which microorganisms are friendly and how to recognize microorganisms that are not so friendly," says David Relman, an assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine who studies the relationships between microbes and humans.
Microbes influence how much energy we burn and how much fat we store. There is even evidence that the microbes in our guts send signals that can affect our minds. These signals may affect how the human brain develops, and our moods and behavior as adults.
People who live in places like the United States tend to have far less diverse microbiomes than people who live in less developed countries and take fewer antibiotics. That, some scientists think, could be a factor in human diseases.
"As organisms are being lost, a lot of diseases have just skyrocketed," says Martin Blaser, who directs the human microbiome program at the NYU Langone Medical Center. He lists diabetes, celiac disease, asthma, food allergies, obesity and developmental disorders like autism as health problems that have become more common.
But many researchers caution that we're still a long way from knowing if the microbiome is involved in any of those diseases and conditions.
"Yes, the microbiome is important," says Jonathan Eisen, a professor who studies genes, microbes and evolution at the University of California, Davis. "Yes, the microbiome differs between all sorts of health and disease states. But no, we don't know that the microbiome causes these health or disease states."
Even more important, Eisen says: we don't know how to fix a microbiome, even if we knew what was wrong with it.
Still, some doctors have already started performing microbe transplants. Fecal transplants have been used to cure people with life-threatening infections with the bacterium Clostridium difficile. The patient's ailing gut bacteria is replaced with new colonies donated by a healthy person.
Getting good bacteria to drive out bad is also the idea behind probiotics, which are widely marketed as health supplements. But it's still unclear which of those microbes are helpful, and for whom. The same goes for prebiotics, which serve as food for microbes.
This expanding view of the microbiome is changing how some people think about humans — not as individual entities but as what philosopher Rosamond Rhodes calls a "supraorganism."
"We're not just us by ourselves but a combination of us and them," Rhodes says. "And that makes us very much more a part of our environment as opposed to something freestanding and separate from our environment. Those are very radical changes in the way we see self-identity."
Rhodes, who is also a bioethicist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, says some people might find this idea shocking or gross. "But I think it's going to slowly seep into our culture and understanding of ourselves and change our understanding and consequently our behavior in important ways."
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm David Greene.
And I'm Renee Montagne. Today in Your Health, the tiny microbes that humans carry around with us on our bodies. We've done a few stories about this recently. There was the one on baby pacifiers, how when a pacifier fell to the ground parents often picked it up.
BILL HESSELMAR: They put it in their mouth, sucked on it, and then gave it back to the children.
MONTAGNE: Scientists think this allows parents to pass good bacteria to their kids.
GREENE: We also reported on a count - a census, if you will - of the fungi that live all over us, especially our feet.
DR. JULIE SEGRE: On the heel we could find at least 80 different types of fungi; on the toe at least 60 different types of fungi.
GREENE: Well, it turns out these two stories are connected.
MONTAGNE: They both stem from scientists trying to learn more about the microbes that inhabit our bodies. And today we're putting them under the microscope in an occasional series on what scientists call the microbiome.
Here's NPR's Rob Stein.
ROB STEIN, BYLINE: Like a lot of people, I grew up with a pretty simple way of thinking about stuff like bacteria - something along the lines of this 1945 educational film.
STEIN: That our bodies are at war, at war with a world swarming with microscopic threats.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Men have devised a number of ingenious weapons in their struggle against the forces of nature. Deadly bacteria...
STEIN: Bacteria, viruses, fungi - they're all out there, just waiting, waiting for their chance to invade our bodies.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: Invisible presence on the surface of the skin, keen for an open wound...
STEIN: So how best to fight back this invasion? This film from the same era suggested constant...
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: Cleanliness.
STEIN: Cleanliness. Because sterilizing our lives wipes out all those nasty germs.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: The one act of washing the hands is an invaluable health measure.
STEIN: Back then the thinking was: The only good microbe was a dead microbe. But in recent years scientists started to realize, yes, some bugs can make us sick, even kill us - but most don't. In fact, everywhere in our bodies, from our head to our guts to our toes, we're covered with bacteria, fungi and viruses. Here, meet your microbes.
STEIN: It's now become clear to scientists that...
DR. LITA PROCTOR: We can't live without microbes.
STEIN: That's Lita Proctor of the National Institutes of Health.
PROCTOR: The microbes that live in and on our bodies, the vast majority of them, are beneficial and actually essential to health. And that's a complete sea change in the way we think about microbes.
STEIN: This sea change began with a pretty simple realization.
PROCTOR: When you're looking in the mirror...
PROCTOR: ...what you're really looking at is there are 10 times more microbial cells than human cells.
STEIN: So on your body, for every one human cell that's you...
STEIN: ...there are 10 microbe cells.
STEIN: This hoard of microbes is so vast that their genes swamp our genes. In fact, 99 percent of the genes contained in and on our bodies are microbial genes.
PROCTOR: And almost any measure you can think of, we're more microbial than human.
STEIN: All of which raises the question: What are all these little critters up to? We've known for a long time that we depend on bacteria in our digestive systems - to help make vitamins, chew up food.
STEIN: But scientists started to wonder: Are they doing more than that? After all, they evolved with us. And they're not just in our stomachs. They're everywhere.
PROCTOR: The microbiome is like the 11th organ system.
STEIN: Remember in grade school, learning about the respiratory system and the circulatory system?
PROCTOR: You know, you have your heart, you have your lungs, and have your microbiomes.
STEIN: But unlike other organ systems, the microbiomes doesn't just do one thing. It looks like it does a lot of things. For starters...
DAVID RELMAN: Microorganisms help to tune our immune systems.
STEIN: David Relman studies these microbes at Stanford. He says they begin influencing the immune system as soon as a baby is born.
RELMAN: So that it learns early on which microorganisms are friendly and how to recognize microorganisms that are not so friendly.
STEIN: When we're adults, these microbes become our first line of defense
STEIN: They fight off bad bugs...
STEIN: ...guarding their turf while protecting our health. Scientists now know some even spew out their own versions of antibiotics.
STEIN: And all their cells and genes are constantly interacting with all our cells and genes, influencing some of the most fundamental things our bodies do, like how much energy we burn and how much fat we store.
RELMAN: The more we look, the more we realize there are a whole number of other positive attributes and benefits that we derive from our microbial companions.
STEIN: There is even evidence that the microbes in our guts send signals...
STEIN: ...that can affect our minds. These signals may affect how our brains develop while we're growing up and our moods and behavior as adults.
Because microbes are so much a part of us, many health problems may be caused when our normal healthy microbiomes gets messed up - by all sorts of things. Like what we eat, how many antibiotics we take, and all those antibacterial cleaners and gels.
People who live in places like the United States tend to have far less diverse microbiomes.
Martin Blaser at New York University says it's sort of like an ecosystem that starts off healthy...
STEIN: ...but where many species eventually...
STEIN: ...go extinct.
MARTIN BLASER: As organisms are being lost, a lot of diseases have just skyrocketed - diabetes, celiac disease, asthma, food allergies, obesity, social disorders like autism, these have all gone up tremendously.
STEIN: Raising the possibility that problems with our microbiomes may be involved in all these diseases. And if that's the case, nurturing microbiomes and restoring damaged ones may provide new ways to prevent and treat many diseases.
BLASER: All based on harnessing our microbiome.
STEIN: Now, all this may sound pretty amazing. But many researchers caution that we're still a long way from knowing any of it for sure. Jonathan Eisen studies genes, microbes and evolution at the University of California, Davis.
JONATHAN EISEN: Yes, the microbiome is important. Yes, the microbiome differs between all sorts of health and disease states. But, no, we don't know that the microbiome causes these health or disease states. And even more important: We have no idea, generally, how to fix the microbiome, even if we knew it was wrong.
STEIN: Still, some doctors have already started performing microbiome transplants. Giving people dying from terrible intestinal infections whole new colonies of microbes to cure them.
They're also testing probiotics: good bacteria that could help drive out and keep out the bad ones, and pre-biotics - essentially food for the good microbes.
David Relman at Stanford compares this to maintaining the ecological health of a park.
RELMAN: The wise old park ranger who had a very deliberate strategy for tilling the soil and encouraging the cultivation of certain kinds of species while eliminating weedy species and invasive species, that have, you know, the possibility of taking over or disturbing the system.
STEIN: So maybe we need to look at ourselves in a whole new way. Not just as individual standalone humans - single entities, but instead as something else. Something philosopher Rosamond Rhodes calls a supraorganism.
ROSAMOND RHODES: Research on the microbiome has taught us that we're not just us by ourselves but we're a combination of us and them. And that makes us very much more a part of our environment as opposed to something freestanding and separate from our environment. Those are very radical changes in the way we see self-identity.
STEIN: Rhodes, who's also a bioethicist at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, says some people might find this idea shocking or gross.
RHODES: I think it's going to slowly seep into our culture and understanding of ourselves and change our understanding, and consequently, our behavior in important ways.
STEIN: Exactly how it changes our view of ourselves and our behavior depends on exactly what we learn about the intimate relationship between ourselves and our microbes.

The Tarheel state continues to rank number one in the production of tobacco with an approximate 2011 annual farm income that was down to $416 million dollars which was due to hurricane Irene. In 2011, North Carolina flue-cured tobacco farmers raised 160,000 acres with an average yield of 1,681 lbs. per acre. Burley tobacco farmers in the state raised 2,300 acres for an average yield of 1,550 lbs. per acre. Post buyout total tobacco farms have decreased but the remaining tobacco farms have increased their farm size to keep total production relatively constant. Another interesting event is the spread of burley tobacco production in the piedmont and coastal plain areas of the state, which is outside of the traditional growing areas of our mountain region.
Employment relating to tobacco is 662,400 in the United States and 255,000 in North Carolina. The tobacco industry's estimated spending-induced impact on America's GNP was over $64.0 billion. North Carolina's tobacco economic impact is over $7.0 billion.

new guy - Even though it's striped as two lanes, the fact that many drivers already treat it as one lane tells me that the street is too narrow for two lanes (plus parking). One car lane and one bike lane (plus parking), perhaps, but not two car lanes.If one lane sounds blasphemously not enough to you, two points:- younger generations are driving less (fact!), so just wait a few years and it'll make sense- remove a handful of parking spots to stick in a right turn bay or a left turn bay (which will double as an unloading zone in real life) and you've got your "second lane" where/when you need it

Women of Susanville were reminded the art of preparing cool, delicious iced beverages was one in which a young woman would be proud to excel in. Several recipes, including lemonade and orangeade, were printed in the newspaper for the ladies interested in trying their hand at whipping up the turn-of-the-century refreshments.

The local radio station used to be called KSUH, but ended when the KSUE designation hit the airwaves.
Nolan Hallowell and J.E. McKahan sought to change the name for some time; however, the designation belonged to another station, which had to release its call letters. Sue was chosen because it was the common name for Susan, and the K was required for all radio stations west of the Mississippi.

The California Highway Commission dumped all plans to turn Highway 36 west of Susanville into a freeway. At the same time, commissioners authorized the sale of right-of-ways purchased for the project.
The proposed freeway would have run from Eagle Lake Road to the eastern edge of Susanville. According to the commissioners, the lack of highway revenues and other constraints would prevent the highway's construction anytime in the foreseeable future.

Susanville's City Council introduced a new ordinance to change Inspiration Point's designation from an open area to a city park.
Over the years, the city received complaints about drinking, partying, excessive vehicle speed, vandalism and other undesirable activities at the top of the bluff on the west end of Susanville. The designation would allow law enforcement to regulate Inspiration Point as they would other city parks.

Disclaimer: I support Novell's PR in Asia Pacific.
On Monday, Microsoft released code for the Linux kernel community. Stories found below:
Two years ago, when Novell bridged the gap between Open Source and Windows,by forming an alliance with Microsoft, the Open Source community was up at arms. Novell was derided for getting into bed with Microsoft. Websites, bloggers and even journalists took sides. Novell became what one might call a second-class citizen in the Open Source community.
There were blogs calling for Red Hat to be acquired, so that they can be strong enough to fight Microsoft, because there is no one else out there to stop them.
And now, this latest Microsoft move to give up code to the Linux community. While there are a few reports saying its a move to better compete with VMWare, other commentators have said it will allow for better collaboration of virtual machines between Linux and Windows.
This could only mean good things for customers, who more and more have multiple platforms in their organisations and they just want things to work, and focus on making IT work for their organisation – not having to spend money on middleware, worry about interoperability or lawsuits.
Perhaps its a realization of Microsoft that there is no one-stop-shop solution to computing needs.
Now, tell me if I'm asking a silly question, but why is there always a rethoric of "war", "conflict", "competition" when it comes to operating platforms?
Yes, I believe that with competition comes innovation. But innovation can also come from collaboration, from sharing, from focusing on solving the problems.
Isnt this what the customer wants – people collaborating, proprietary coders exchanging ideas with the open source community, solving problems, looking at how applications should all work together?
And why the continuing suspicion among the Open Source community of Microsoft? Perhaps, in the past, Microsoft has not played fair.
But that's in the past. I think the future's about collaboration, about talking and solving problems – for the customer, for the industry – rather than conflict and competition. I believe that Novell's relationship with Microsoft has opened the way to bigger things. It's all about the customers and what they need to forge ahead.
The "peace" process is a long road, but it all starts with small steps, no?
"I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war." – Barack Obama.
Change, we can indeed.

Raised Bed Systems and Accessories
Every time I open a plant catalog or see a television commercial for sale-priced $99 raised bed gardening kits, I cringe! You don't need to spend that kind of money to build your own four-by-four-foot bed or even a 20-foot-long one.
My husband builds mine. He buys two 1 x 8-inch cedar boards, which don't rot with age. They come in 8-foot lengths, which is perfect for 4 x 4-foot beds. Cut each plank in half, so that it is 4-feet long. Or, you can have a home improvement/lumber store make the cuts. Many places will do it for free.
Husband also buys a 3-foot length of a 1 x 1-inch pine stake; he cuts it into four pieces and uses them to nail the cedar boards to at corners for bracing. That's all!
Grouping together several raised beds makes a substantial vegetable garden that is easy to maintain, with no weeding and crops that mature fast
I place the boxes on cleared ground. We cut and roll up our turf, but many gardeners do not think it is necessary. The added 6 inches of soil will bury most of the grass and weeds beneath. After I situate the boxes (four or five grouped together makes a good sized garden), I put down three layers of newspaper to suppress errant weed or grass seeds that might sprout. Paper degrades fully within weeks and feeds the soil.
Another fast, cheap method of building raised beds is to use concrete construction blocks. They have a big bonus. Their holes can be filled with soil mix and planted with herbs or strawberries.
The extra gathered heat from concrete is perfect for Mediterranean-type herbs such as rosemary and lavender. Strawberry plants grow huge and fruit fast in the holes. Each block is 16 inches long by 8 inches high; I purchase mine at big box stores as find the price most reasonable. Beds of 13 feet or longer by 4 feet wide are cheaper to build using blocks than with cedar boards.
Cement construction blocks are a cheap method of building raised beds.
You will be planting seeds and transplants close, because the beds are smaller and the soil is richer. But, plants grown close together in raised beds mature faster, because they compete for nutrients and sunlight. Each plant senses the distance of others and adjusts its metabolism to compete. Several university studies have proven this competition syndrome by identifying how plants perceive others nearby using the green light spectrum.
This 4 x 4-foot bed is crowded with productive peppers, cucumbers, a tomato plant and insect-repelling flowers that are edible.
Raised Bed Soil Mix
The more organic matter there is in soil, the better. Soil microbes are fed, oxygen and water
readily reach roots and plants thrive. Here's the recipe I've developed in the last decade that
works best for my garden.
For one 4 x 4-foot raised bed. (Multiply amounts to fill larger beds.)
2 bags (2-cubic-feet each) top soil
1 pail (3-cubic-feet) peat moss
1 bag (2 to 3-cubic feet) compost or composted cow manure
2-inch layer of shredded leaves or grass clipping.
If you use grass, make sure the clippings are not from a lawn that has been sprayed with herbicides or been fertilized with a food that contains granular herbicides to kill weeds. Both persist and will kill plants beds up to three years after the initial application.
Mix all materials with a hoe or cultivator and water well. Be sure to mulch well with organic Matter such as more leaves or clippings or straw.

Recipe by Marla
"This is an old, classic recipe for Swedish meatballs. Serve with sauteed vegetables and fresh bread."

6 tablespoons
butter or margarine, divided
onion, chopped
1 cup
dried bread crumbs
1 cup
evaporated milk, divided
1 1/2 pounds
ground beef
egg, beaten
1 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 pinch
dried parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon
tomato sauce
ground nutmeg to taste
Oh WOW were these ever good.. but I must warn you I altered the recipe a lot. After trying a few really bland recipe's I wanted some FLAVOR.. soooo Instead of cream of wheat, I used Italian bread crumbs. I also added 1/2 tsp allspice, 1 TSP worceschire sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, and one package Lipton Onion Soup Mix to the meat... (I used 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb ground pork).
I think Marla really hit it on the head with frying the meatballs instead of baking them initially. This really added a lot of flavor.
I then used Jessica's sauce (1 can evaporated milk, 1 can cream of chicken soup, one can cream of mushroom soup, and my own addition of 1/4 cup white wine.
I have had authentic swedish meatballs in Sweden and these were much better!!!
Thanks Marla
This sounds like a great recipe for meatballs. The way we do the sauce in Sweden is a little different from this recipe. We use to serve a cream- or a brown sauce to the meatballs. I give you an example of how we are doing: Add the flour to the liquid you got after you fried the meatballs. Stir and then add ordinary milk..or half milk and half cream. Then add some soya and spice with salt and pepper. Serve the meatballs with boiled potato,sauce and lingonberry jam. This is how we use to eat meatballs in Sweden.

I am giving this a five star only cause I changed the recipe. I made the meatballs just like this recipe. I used the sauce recipe from Swedish Meatballs I. 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 can evaporated milk. Do not confuse evaporated milk with condensed milk. They are very different. They turned out excellent.
The meatballs came out awesome. I followed the recipe exactly. I did use the sauce recipe from Swedish Meatballs I, 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of condensed milk. Thanks, for sharing.
I thought this meatballs were delicious. I just cannot follow the rules though, so I did add some worstershire sauce and I used seasoned breadcrumbs. Also, the gravy looked time consuming and I have no luck with gravies, so I used Jessica's Swedish Meatball sauce containing cream of mush soup, cream of chick soup, and evaporated milk. I baked the meatballs for 40 minutes and it was absolutely delicious. Very flavorful and lots of gravy!
I make the same recipe with some changes. I bake the meatballs at 350 till done on a cookie sheet. Put meatballs in baking dish. For the sauce I use the drippings, 1 can evaporated milk, 1 can cr. mushroom soup, and 1/4 cup sour cream mixed together and poured over meatballs. Then bake them for about 2 hrs. on 300 or until sauce is the way you like it. We like the extra sauce to serve over mashed potatoes or noodles. I go really easy on the nutmeg. A little dill weed also is good if you like that flavor. This came from a Swede from the old country. The only difference is she used heavy cream and sour cream, thickened with a little flour to pour over. A very good recipe we serve every Christmas, as well as throughout the year.
This rating review is for the meatballs *only*. After reading reviews from Swedish Meatballs I & II, I made the meatballs from this recipe and the sauce from the other. Served over steamed veggies and egg noodles. My family loved this combination! I printed out the combined recipe to use during the winter months.
Delicious! Don't skip the nutmeg. You don't want a huge amount, not enough to think "hmm, there's nutmeg in this", just enough to enhance the other flavors. I think I'd like to try sour cream instead of evaporated milk in the sauce some time.

When Greata Sitnik moved to Pimmit Hills in 1953, Tysons Corner was not much more than a gas station at a crossroads; Route 7 was a narrow, two-lane road between Alexandria and Leesburg; and there wasn�t very much else.
�What was here was the Pimmit Barn on Cherri Drive,� the 86-year-old said. �My children played there all the time.�
The barn is estimated to have been built sometime between 1935 and 1940, said Charles Leik of Vienna, president of the National Barn Alliance. The barn was part of a dairy farm that was once owned by one of McLean�s founding families
But the barn�s future is uncertain.
According to local historian Carol Herrick, McLean was a farming community in 1910, when Henry Alonzo Storm established a general store that included a post office. The opening of Storm's Store is considered McLean's unofficial beginning, Herrick said. The store was located on Chain Bridge Road beside a stop on the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad.
�A village and vibrant community gradually developed around Storm's Store, which became McLean,� Herrick said.
According to Herrick, Storm�s younger brother J.C. Storm ran the almost 400-acre dairy farm, of which the barn is believed to have been a part.
Today, the barn�s address is in Falls Church and it is owned by the Fairfax County Park Authority, which has no use for it. The authority also owns the property on which it sits.
In March, the Park Authority Board listed the Pimmit Barn as a property for disposition, meaning it will be donated or sold, said spokeswoman Judy Pedersen.
�The Board requested that staff determine if there was interest in the property from other county department or agencies prior to any efforts to sell,� Pedersen said.
As far back as 2010, the Fairfax Falls Church Community Services Board, another county agency, indicated it was interested in building a group home on the property for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The two agencies are in talks about making the transfer, Pedersen said.
�Before the Park Authority can outright sell the property, it is required to see if any other county agencies can use it,� Fairfax County Supervisor John Foust said. �When I heard that the CSB was interested in the property, I held a community meeting in January so the residents of Pimmit Hills would not be completely surprised if they saw the barn come down.�
Another public meeting took place on March 6 at the Pimmit Hills Center.
Lesley Stone, a nonpracticing attorney with a Harvard law degree, attended that meeting along with more than 100 other residents.
�My family lives right next to the barn,� she said. �Not only is it a historical landmark and potentially the last standing barn within the Beltway, but it is also much-needed open green space in a neighborhood of 1,600 homes.�
Stone and a group of neighbors have started a petition to save the barn, which already has garnered nearly 200 signatures.
�The Pimmit Dairy Barn has been a part of Pimmit Hills since its founding in the 1950s. This beautiful piece of history ties the community to the past and is linked to our future,� the petition states. �Preserving the structure and the surrounding green space helps educate our children about farming and the history of the area, provides a potential social focal point for the community, and could lead to improved property values and tax revenues in the surrounding area.�
According to Stone, members of the community have offered some alternatives to tearing down the barn, such as creating a park, showcasing the area�s history and turning the structure into a community space.
�Similarly, there are ideas about where else might be a suitable spot in the community for a group home,� she said. �Griffith Park is a possibility, there are also homes in the neighborhood that are for sale, and the big Tysons redevelopment project may offer multiple options for those in our community in need of housing and services.�
Matthew Martz, president of the Pimmit Hills Citizens Association, has mixed feelings about the property.
�In all, I feel there are really no negatives for Pimmit Hills mainly for the fact that if the county does not take ownership of the property and turn it into a group home, the Park Service will put the land up for auction and a private contractor will buy the property and we have a huge chance of getting another McMansion or two because of how large the property is,� he wrote on a PHCA blog.
According to Leik, the barn�s use is less important than its heritage.
�Everyone is always concerned about the use of an old barn,� he said. �For a region that is urbanizing at the pace we are here in Fairfax County, the physical use of a historical barn is secondary to the preservation of an area�s history. Even if it stands only as a monument, it is still very �useful� and certainly as one of the wealthiest counties in the country, we can afford to preserve a little of our heritage.�
According to Foust, there will be a public hearing announced before any decision will be made by the county as to the barn�s future.
�In order to transfer the property to the CSB, the Park Authority Board is required to hold a public hearing regarding the disposition of the Pimmit Barn property in accordance with Policy 307,� he said.

3/4 cup
2 tablespoons
white vinegar
1 cup
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
butter, melted
cooking spray
This recipe has served me well for years. Whenever we have overnight company, everyone insists these are the best pancakes they've ever eaten. For those afraid of sour milk, it is simply a substitute for buttermilk. I use soured milk in every recipe that I have that calls for buttermilk and it works like a charm. It does NOT make things taste sour! Another note: the pancakes will start to "foam up" after you stir them. Resist the urge to stir them again. All those bubbles is what makes them so fluffy. The batter will be very thick and difficult to pour at this point. Also, as others have said, this does not serve 8. In my house, it serves 4 of us. Enjoy.
I always use lemon juice instead of vinegar for my soured milk. That being said, I feel like the proportions were a little odd in this recipe. Not sure what it was, but the flavor seemed a little unbalanced and "after-tastey". I usually do 1 TBS vinegar/lemon juice to 1 C milk for sour milk, (this recipe calls for 2 TBS acid to 3/4 C milk) so maybe there was too much acid. I had high hopes for this recipe, but it wasn't our favorite, sorry.

I used real buttermilk instead of soured milk and doubled the recipe. I let the batter sit for 10 minutes while my griddle heated up. There were no survivors. We ate every last bit. I served this with Absolute Best Pancake Syrup. EDITED: I use this pancake recipe frequently because it's incredibly easy. Now I make this lactose-free by using lactose-free milk and either melted margerine or vegetable oil in place of the butter. I like to use whole wheat flour off and on but when I do, I always increase the milk by a quarter cup because whole wheat flour tends to soak up the liquids a little more than AP flour. This doubles and triples well as well as freezes/rewarms well. Sometimes, I'll triple the recipe and freeze the leftovers and on busy days, I pop them into the toaster to reheat. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I have made this recipes about 40 times since finding it about 3 mos ago. My daughter won't eat anyone's pancakes but mine! one tip: This morning I forgot to add the butter, and they were better than ever. Lighter, taller, fluffier! Soaked up the syrup and kept its texture! AWESOME! THANKS SO MUCH!
Classic recipe for really "Fluffy" pancakes! I always have buttermilk handy so I used that instead of doing sour milk as I find the real stuff does make a difference. But, if you don't have it on hand the milk/vinegar method is good in a pinch. I added a tsp. of vanilla for good measure, added the wet ingredients to the dry ones and didn't overmix these. Having a few lumps in the batter is a good thing! I let it rest for a few minutes while the frying pan heated up and WOW - they really puffed up nicely! These were perfect topped with butter and REAL maple syrup.
I have been using Alton Brown's pancake mix recipe for the past few years and I didn't think pancakes could get any better. I was wrong!! These are outstanding!!! Thanks for the recipe!!!
i followed this recipe exactly and they were great!! they turned out very well the kids gobbled them up no more box mix for me!! thanks for sharing this recipe:-)UPDATE: made these again and they turned out even better this time the only thing i did different was let the milk "sour" a bit longer added a teaspoon of vanilla and sugar just a tip double the recipe as the original does not make too many!!
New family recipe. They were nice and tender and the ingredients were all in the cupboard. I doubled the recipe also. If this is 8 servings, it is one little pancake for 8 people. Double or triple the recipe for your family. They puffed up while cooking but were not heavy at all but nice and light. Do not overmix these and let them sit for a 1/2 hour after mixing before frying. The batter thickens and is nice. UPDATE: This is still our favorite pancake recipe but tried making these the night before, putting them in the refrigerator and making in the morning. Works great and convenient, especially when you have a busy morning schedule. It deserves 5 with doubling the recipe. Just change the serving size to 16 and it is better for 4-6 servings.

Recipe by LELA NORTON
"An old boyfriend's mother used to cook this for me whenever I ate over. Cheese tortellini are served in a creamy tomato and spinach sauce. I love it!"

1 (16 ounce) package
cheese tortellini
1 (14.5 ounce) can
diced tomatoes with garlic and onion
1 cup
chopped fresh spinach
1/2 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
1 1/2 teaspoons
dried basil
1 teaspoon
minced garlic
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup
3/4 cup
heavy cream
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
Oh my, but this was good. I did make a few changes (of course). My husband expects MEAT on his dinner plate, so I squeezed the innards out of a couple of large-ish hot Italian sausages and browned it up in a tiny bit of EVOO. Then I added some sliced fresh crimini mushrooms that needed to be used up. My canned tomatoes were the plain, common garden variety, so I threw in some chopped onion and minced garlic. Deglazed the pan with some white wine and used more spinach than called for. An entire bunch, actually. The DH has placed a moritorium on me buying anything new to stuff into my over-burdened freezer, so I had to use a bag of frozen three-cheese ravioli instead of the tortellini. But hey, it's the same thing, only flat, right? Also I didn't have any whole milk, so I had to use non-fat, but it didn't seem to hurt anything. This was fantastic! The sausage and mushrooms gave the sauce a nice beigey color. I'm sure it would have been prettier with the tortellini, but I had to make do. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
I came upon this recipe after my original plan for dinner fell through. I was really hopeful, but unfortunately for me, it tasted extremely bland.

I thought this was very good. I did not use heavy cream, I used FF milk and used a bit of cornstarch to it so the sauce would thicken slightly. I also used fresh basil. I think that gives the dish a nice bright taste. I will make this again.
I made this for company last night and it was a huge success! I added diced chicken breasts sauteed with garlic, basil, and rosemary in olive oil. For the sauce, I sauteed sliced baby portabella mushrooms with onion and garlic which I added to the tomato mixture. I also added 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, instead of just 1/4 to the sauce - because really, you can never have enough cheese! It could use more spinach than the recipe calls for, so next time I'll make that change - but this was very wonderful and easy and I will definitely be making it again!
Altho I think this needed a lot more cheese, which I did add, we thought this recipe was delish! I also sauteed portabello mushrooms to add to the dish.
Because we don't like soggy fresh spinach, I did not cook it in with the sauce, but tossed it in with the pasta at the very end jusy to wilt it. Enjoyed by my whole family Lela and thank you!
Lovely! Nice light flavor, although I did make some minor adjustments. I used a plain can of diced tomatoes, and doubled the minced garlic. I left out the onion. I think I would have been safe with even a little more garlic (but I really like garlic). Also, I used milk instead of heavy cream, which should help on the fat and calorie side. I prefer corn starch as a thickening agent (just be sure to cut the amount by half - you'd need twice as much flour to do the same job). I was impressed with the flavor of the sauce, and didn't notice too much of a pink tinge that turned off one reviewer. However, next time, I'll use fresh tomatoes, because I was kinda turned off by the flavor of the canned tomatoes. In all other respects a wonderful and simple dish that looks and tastes like it took forever! Will definitely make again!
This was delicious!! I followed the recipe almost exactly- the only difference was I used italian diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano because I didnt have the one specified. Also I used 5 cloves of fresh garlic and minced it up. I think it could have used even more than that. Otherwise I followed everything and it turned out wonderful, My hubby loved it and my 1 year old ate a good amount of it too! It was a good way to sneak a veggie into him. I recommend this to everyone to try and will definatly make this again and again. Thanks for the recipe.
This is a really nice, easy recipe that looks beautiful and tastes better than I've gotten in some restaurants. I basically followed the recipe, but had no fresh spinach, so used half a box of frozen. Everyone loved it!
