Main Page > Picardo Farm Composting Toilet
On Saturday, 3 April 2010 at 12:30 PM at the Picardo Farm 2010 Gardener Gathering farmers will hold a grand opening and toilet paper cutting ceremony to celebrate Seattle's first municipal composting toilet. This will also be the first composting toilet in a Puget Sound urban setting. Local gardening celebrity Ciscoe Morris is planning on attending the celebration.[1]
Composting toilets are popping up all over, including at the Bronx Zoo[1] and Queens Botanical Garden[2] in New York City and at Islandwood on Bainbridge Island. Picardo Farm is excited about supporting the city of Seattle's sustainability goals and having the first composting toilet in the city.
The Clivus Multrum (official site) M54 Trailhead composting toilet unit (see diagram) is located in the NE area of Picardo near the 82nd Street Entrance, North of the open air pavilion and red tool barn.
Picardo Farm P-Patch hosts over 600 gardeners each year and was in need of a permanent toilet facility. In the past Picardo Farm gardeners had to make use of a portable toilet, nearby facilities at Dahl Playfield (sometimes closed), ask to use a neighbor's bathroom or find a convenient bush to answer the call of nature.
Controversy, Master Plan and GrantEdit
In 1999, controversy arose at Picardo Farm when an Arts in the Park statue was installed of a naked pregnant woman[3]. Steve Anderson's 2 ¼-foot-high bronze statue known as the Picardo Venus[2][3] was installed and dedicated on August 8, 1999. Some appreciated the art, others did not. Some gardeners became disgruntled. Votes were cast and the statue stayed.
As a result of the controversy, some gardeners decided to focus on what people wanted in the garden. A Picardo Farm P-Patch Five-Year Master Plan process was initiated and a survey identified several high priority needs. A year round toilet facility was identified as the number one priority. Other popular amenities, involving less red tape, were completed first, such as the red tool barn, community herb garden and open air pavilion.
Since there are no year-round water or sewer hookups available, gardeners decided to incorporate the values of the organic gardening community at Picardo by installing a composting toilet, an improvement over the existing rental port-a-potty. A composting toilet decomposes human waste into odorless organic matter using no water for flushing.
Picardo Farm received a Neighborhood Matching Fund Grant for $15,000 in order to pay for the cost of the Washington State Department of Health approved Clivus Multrum composting toilet, which was selected after visiting a similar unit at Islandwood on Bainbridge Island.
Marra FarmsEdit
At the same time that the Picardo Farm composting toilet permitting process was being initiated, a similar process was underway for planning a composting toilet system as part of Near Term Improvements paid for by an Opportunity Fund for Marra Farm in South Seattle. The Seattle Parks Department ultimately rejected the idea, citing that it "was considered infeasible due to conflicting health code requirements"[4].
Committee formedEdit
The Picardo Farm P-Patch Composting Toilet Committee (CTC) was formed to facilitate this project and over a five year period successfully accomplished their goal. Eileen Long, the Committee Founder began working with Rich MacDonald with the Department of Neighborhoods in 2001.
An outreach effort was launched and several neighbors to Picardo Farm came forward to support the project, including University Prep, Temple Beth Am, Seattle Jewish Community School, residents who garden at Picardo P-Patch and the Wedgewood Community Council.
Five years of red tapeEdit
The permitting of the Picardo Farm composting toilet took five years and was quite involved. As the area selected for installation was located on a Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) Right of way, that Department was involved in the permitting process. SDOT wanted approval from Public Health – Seattle & King County (PHSKC) before issuing a Streets Use Permit (which came on 25 June 2009). Additionally, the Seattle Department of Utilities (SPU) had to grant a waiver of the requirement to connect to the sewer system, as required by PHSKC. Additionally, Department of Neighborhoods endorsed the project as well as signing on for responsiblity for operations and maintenance.
Chris Webb, a successful engineer with experience installing composting toilets was hired to help facilitate the permitting process.
Unfortunately, the two products that the composting toilet will produce, which are intended to close the nutrient cycle loop, the biosolid humanure compost (considered officially as wastewater treatment sludge despite the proven composting process) and possible leachate will have to be officially collected by a contracted sanitation company. This greatly defeats one of the major benefits of having a composting toilet system as it prevents the utilization of the fertilizer/compost end product in the Picardo Farm landscape, which would have effectively closed the nutrient loop cycle (from soil to plant to consumption to defecation to compost and back to soil). A full nutrient loop cycle is also considered a closed ecological system.
The Clivus Multrum M54 Trailhead composting toilet was received and installed at Picardo Farm during a work party lead by Trent Elwing on 12 December 2009.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My next door neighbor has installed a video camera, aimed at my house, on a tree in his yard. The camera is no more than 6 feet from the ground, and clearly not for "security" purposes. Two bedrooms, my living room, and my front porch are all visible to this camera and I'd like to know if this is considered stalking, or if there is ANY action I can pursue.
It is not considered stalking, though you may have a remedy. You do have an expectation of privacy inside your home. If your neighbor has cameras all around their house, you may be out of luck, though, because they have a stronger argument for security. However, if this is the only camera they have, I would seek an immediate TRO and get a hearing before a judge. It is more than likely that it will be taken down, depending on your jurisdiction. You will need to consult an attorney as soon as you can.
The recommendations in this answer are not considered legal advice for the purposes of ethical, legal and practical evaluation, nor does this recommendation create a retention of counsel agreement between us, wherein an attorney-client relationship exists. These recommendations should never be relied upon without first consulting an attorney in your jurisdiction. I am not your attorney, unless we enter into a written agreement fulfilling the terms of that agreement. The comments posted herein are purely for educational purposes and public discourse only.Ask a similar question
This is not stalking but it is probably a invastion of privacy. I would seriously consider filing a complaint with your local police.Ask a similar question

Two people were arrested by the Hamlet Police Department, Wednesday, after a police pursuit.
Hamlet Police Chief, Jeremiah Patrick, told WKVI that at 10:30 p.m. CT, Wednesday, Larry Catt, 21, of Hamlet, failed to stop after police initiated a traffic stop. A vehicle pursuit ensued and ended at Catt's residence at 607 W. Davis Street in Hamlet. While police officers were taking Catt into custody, Lonzo Jackson came out of the residence with a large knife on his belt and in a rage, demanded that police leave his driveway and release Larry from custody. Jackson was told to go back inside the residence and he did not comply. When police attempted to take Jackson into custody, he ran into his residence and locked the door. Hamlet Police and Starke County Sheriff's Department officers made their way into the house and Jackson was taken into custody after a struggle.
Larry Catt has preliminary charges of Driving While Suspended and Resisting Law Enforcement with a Vehicle. Lonzo Jackson has preliminary charges of Disorderly Conduct, two counts of Resisting Law Enforcement, and three counts of Battery on a Police Officer.

Profusely bleeding Baba Premdas was late Wednesday admitted to a medical facility in Amethi, about 140 km from Lucknow, where his condition is said to be serious.
The incident took place in Madhopur village, Amethi Superintendent of Police Alankrita Singh told IANS.
She did not say what was the reason behind the seer's action.
"There are many theories going around in the area. Some say this was to protest against what Asaram is alleged to have done while close associates said the seer was afraid he could be framed in a similar fashion," an investigating official said.
Doctors have referred the man to Sultanpur for plastic surgery.

Having bowled out Bangladesh for 89 on the opening day, Sri Lanka went to tea on the second day at 459-6 with a declaration looming in the final session.
Prasanna Jayawardene (57 not out) and Chaminda Vaas (46 not out) were at the crease after adding 105 runs for the seventh wicket on an easy-paced wicket at the Sinhalese Sports Club.
The run deluge followed centuries by lanky opener Michael Vandort and skipper Mahela Jayawardene earlier in the day against a tiring Bangladesh attack that lacked fire.
Left-handed Vandort, a late replacement for the injured Upul Tharanga, hit 117 with the help of nine boundaries and three sixes.
Jayawardene, who had retired hurt the previous day on 93 due to leg cramps, returned at the fall of Vandort's wicket before lunch and duly completed his 17th Test century.
The captain, who was on 126 at lunch, added just one more run when he fell to the second new ball, punching Mashrafe Mortaza's fourth delivery to Abdur Razzak at point.
Jayawardene, 30, took over as Sri Lanka's second-highest scorer with 6,416 runs in 86 Tests, behind only Sanath Jayasuriya's record tally of 6,791.
There was, however, no respite for the Bangladeshis as wicket-keeper Prasanna Jayawardene struck his maiden half-century and Vaas lashed out at the other end.
Vandort, who resumed at his overnight score of 87, hit two consecutive sixes off left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak to move to 99 and then clipped two runs to mid-wicket in the same over to reach his third Test century.
Vandort put on 117 for the fourth wicket with Tillakaratne Dilshan when he was caught in the leg trap by Shahriar Nafees off spinner Mohammad Rafique.
Bangladesh earned a lucky break when Dilshan was run out for 79 after Mahela Jayawardene declined his call for a second run.
Bangladesh face an uphill struggle to avoid defeat in the match by batting a major part of the remaining three days.
Mohammad Ashraful's men lasted just 32.3 overs on the first day with Muttiah Muralitharan taking five wickets for 15 runs after seamer Dilhara Fernando had destroyed the top order with three wickets.
Bangladesh play three Tests and as many one-day internationals on the five-week tour.

|Kenneth Fults
ATLANTA- Georgia executed a death row inmate who shot a woman to death during a burglary in 1996.
Kenneth Fults, 47, was put to death at 7:37 p.m. Tuesday by injection of the barbiturate pentobarbital at the state prison in Jackson. Fults pleaded guilty in 1997 to killing 19-year-old Cathy Bounds in January 1996, and a jury sentenced him to die.
Fults is the fourth person executed in Georgia this year. Another inmate, Daniel Lucas, is scheduled to die April 27.
There was no one in the execution chamber for Fults, so he had no final words for witnesses from the media and the state who had gathered. But he ended the prayer offered by the chaplain with, "Amen."
A few minutes after the execution drugs had begun to flow, he twice looked at the IV inserted into his right arm. Moments later, his entire body shook for a few seconds. Then he was still. 15 minutes later he was pronounced dead.
There was no one in the execution chamber for Fults, so he had no final words for witnesses from the media and the state who had gathered. But he ended the prayer offered by the chaplain with, "Amen."
A few minutes after the execution drugs had begun to flow, he twice looked at the IV inserted into his right arm. Moments later, his entire body shook for a few seconds. Then he was still. 15 minutes later he was pronounced dead.
The State Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday declined to grant clemency to Fults.
The parole board on Monday held a clemency hearing for Fults that wasn't open to the public or the media. As is its custom, the parole board did not give a reason for denying clemency, saying only that its members considered the facts and circumstances in the case. The parole board is the only entity that can commute a death sentence in Georgia.
In a clemency petition submitted to the parole board, Fults' lawyers detailed a childhood characterized by neglect and abuse at the hands of heavy-drinking family members and his mother's string of violent boyfriends.
"Throughout his life, Kenneth Fults was abandoned and rejected by those who were supposed to care for him, ridiculed and dismissed by those who could have helped him, and beaten up and down by family members and strangers alike," his lawyers wrote.
Fults has an intellectual disability that means he "functions in the lowest one percent of the population," meaning he has insufficient reasoning abilities, lacks impulse control and fails to learn from experience, the clemency petition said.
He is extremely remorseful, having told Bounds' mother at trial that he would trade places with Bounds if he could, and took responsibility for his actions by entering a guilty plea, his lawyers wrote.
Fults' trial lawyer failed to tell the jury during sentencing that Fults was intellectually disabled and didn't go into the details of his rough childhood, his lawyers wrote. Jurors quoted in the clemency petition said the trial lawyer slept through parts of the sentencing and didn't seem prepared or interested in protecting the best interests of his client.
His death sentence is unfair because one of the jurors who sentenced him to die was motivated by racial prejudice, Fults' lawyers wrote.
During jury selection, Thomas Buffington told the judge and lawyers on both sides he felt no racial prejudice. He was selected for the jury that sentenced Fults to death.
An investigator who was part of Fults' legal team reached out to Buffington eight years later to ask about his experience on the jury.
"Once he pled guilty, I knew I would vote for the death penalty because that's what that (N-word) deserved," Buffington said, according to an affidavit signed April 12, 2005.
Buffington died in 2014.
Fults' lawyers also asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt his execution and to consider his claims that his death sentence is unconstitutional because of Buffington's alleged racial prejudice. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to halt the execution.
Prosecutors said Fults killed Bounds during a weeklong crime spree that started when he stole two guns during burglaries. After trying unsuccessfully to kill his former girlfriend's new boyfriend with one of the stolen guns, Fults broke into the trailer next to his, where Bounds lived with her boyfriend.
Bounds, who was home alone, pleaded for her life, but Fults forced her into the bedroom, wrapped electrical tape around her head, put her face-down on the bed, put a pillow over her head and shot her five times in the back of the head, prosecutors said.
One woman and 62 men have been executed in Georgia since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.
Fults becomes the 4th condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Georgia and the 64th overall since the state resumed capital punishment in 1983.
Fults becomes the 12th condemned inmate to be put to death this year in the USA and the 1434th overall since the nation resumed executions on January 17, 1977.

A Tainted Execution in Georgia
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to halt an execution on Tuesday despite a juror's racial slurs against the inmate.
|Georgia's Death Chamber
The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles denied a request for clemency on Monday, leaving the high court as his last remaining chance at avoiding lethal injection. Fults filed an eleventh-hour request last week for the U.S. Supreme Court, which denied previous petitions to hear his case, to directly intervene.
Fults' execution Tuesday night will come almost 20 years after the original crime. Fults, a black man, pled guilty to the January 1996 murder of Cathy Bounds, his white neighbor, after shooting her five times in the back of the head during a series of burglaries. The jury sentenced him to death in May of 1997.
After sentencing, Fults' case began the complex appeals process that accompanies any death-penalty case. First, the Georgia Supreme Court affirmed his conviction and sentence on direct review in June 2001. From there, Fults then sought a separate habeas review in the state courts in 2003 and in federal courts in 2009.
While his lawyers gathered evidence for the state habeas review, one of their investigators interviewed Buffington, who served on the jury that sentenced Fults to death. Buffington had told the court during jury selection he held no racial biases. Eight years later, his answer changed.
"I don't know if [Fults] ever killed anybody, but that nigger got just what should have happened," the 79-year-old man said in a sworn affidavit in April 2005. "Once he pled guilty, I knew I would vote for the death penalty because that's what that nigger deserved."
Buffington later died without further involvement in the case. Two other jurors subsequently signed statements condemning his remarks and questioning the fairness of his jury service. "It is my personal opinion, a person with this mentality cannot sit in judgment of others," said Ryan Archer, the jury's foreman. Another juror, Mary Bunn, said she was "deeply troubled that Mr. Buffington was allowed to sit in judgment of Mr. Fults since he considered Mr. Fults to be less of a human being."
In response to Fults' petition to the Court, the state of Georgia said in a footnote it "obviously does not dispute that this is a highly offensive racial slur." But the state argued Buffington's statement should be ignored on procedural grounds. Because Fults did not raise a juror misconduct claim while his case was on direct appeal—which concluded four years before the affidavit was signed—he was barred from raising it on habeas review, Georgia's lawyers contended. The Georgia Supreme Court and the federal Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the state.
Fults' current lawyers countered there was no way of knowing about the juror misconduct during that appeal. They also blamed inadequate counsel during Fults' trial and direct appeal—an understatement, to say the least. Johnny Mostiler, the public defender of Spalding County, Georgia, routinely fell asleep while representing Fults at trial and died of a heart attack during his direct appeal. Mostiler also had an overwhelming caseload, a cozy relationship with county prosecutors, and a penchant for telling racist jokes. While representing Curtis Osborne for a double homicide in 1991, he turned down a plea bargain for a life sentence without informing his client; Osborne received the death penalty and was executed in 2008. A white client recounted how Mostiler, in reference to Osborne, told him "that little nigger deserves the chair."
The Supreme Court denied Fults' petition last year, and Georgia set an execution date last month. But his lawyers asked for a new stay of execution after the Court agreed earlier this month to review Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado, a case also concerning racist remarks by a juror. In that case, the Court will consider whether the no-impeachment rule, which protects jurors from answering questions about their deliberations in many jurisdictions, should apply to evidence of racial bias.
Fults' lawyers argued he should not be executed until after Pena-Rodriguez is decided, citing parallels with their case and the potential for a favorable outcome. (One major difference: the racist juror in Pena-Rodriguez made his remarks during deliberations, not afterwards, allowing other jurors to quickly notify the judge.) But the Court denied the stay request Tuesday afternoon, roughly five hours before his scheduled execution. None of the justices offered public dissents.

2011 DWTS Results
November 9, 2011 by staff
2011 DWTS Results, Unsurprisingly, J.R. Martinez and his professional dance partner Karina Smirnoff gained the top of the leaderboard last night with the first perfect scores of the season!
Just as unsurprising, was Nancy Grace and Tristan MacMa**s' fall to the bottom, with the lowest combined scores of the night. We recapped the performance episode here, in case you've missed it. Also, earlier tonight, we've recapped the elimination results.
After it was all said and done, it came down to Rob Kardashian and Nancy Grace that were in the bottom two. But, the Semi-Finals spot was given to Rob and Nancy was sent on her way.
Was it her time to go? Or did she deserve to be in the Semi-Finals?

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .

Dr. Mark Wein was disrespectful and insulting when discussing my plans to breastfeed my baby longer than a year. His exact words were "that's pretty weird" with a disgusted look on his face. He then (inaccurately) told me he saw no benefit to nursing a baby after 6 months old and nursing a baby after 12 months would be bad for the baby. I will not be returning to his office based on his rude remarks and that as a doctor he is giving out inaccurate medical advice.

Good luck - they can never fit you in when you need to be seen. If you do get an appointment take a book - you will be there for a couple hours.

Great Doctor
I have seen Dr. Wein for years as have all of my family and friends. He IS a busy guy, but can't be faulted for trying to help everyone on the spot even when his schedule is overloaded. He is caring, compassionate and very qualified.

HORRIBLE staff
My husband was diagnosed with pharyngitis three days ago. I believe that I am now catching it. I called to make an appointment to see a doctor and the receptionist told me that they won't take me due to no available appointments. So anyone who is going to use this office, make sure that you predict your sickness because if you do not make an appointment ahead of time, they will turn you away.

Dr Wein Sucks
comments Dr Wein is the worst dr. I've ever known. He can be very, very rude, he just doesn't care, & he doesn't listen, in & out, spends 5 minutes or less with you. Even some of his own staff doesn't like him. Your wait time at his office takes forever, a lot of the time it's been over an hour, I've walked out a few times cause I've waited so long. And when I'd have to call in for something I've been put on hold for 50 minutes or more, they don't answer there calls in the order that they are received in. I have had 2 phone lines going at the same time, trying to get through, but always being put on hold, then they answer the phone line that I've had the shorter wait time on. I always have trouble getting my refills, they say they were called in and the Pharmacy says no. I just get sick to my stomach everytime I have to go see him, I just hate him so much. I was referred to him by friends, and they don't even see him anymore, soon as I can find me a new dr. I'm gone.

It's Busy
So he is a fine doctor, but he is BUSY and makes you feel like he's in a hurry. So if your expecting him to take time and really talk to you you'll be disappointed. If you want him to listen, you'll really have to make him listen. He's a good guy, and a good doctor, but needs to slow down and get to know the people he is taking care of.

U.S. Olympic figure skater Sasha Cohen: "I'm a little bit shocked. I know how tough it is to come back from an injury and get yourself together. It's great she tried, but things don't always work out."
NBC analyst Sandra Bezic, former Olympian and Canadian pairs skater and noted choreographer: "We all buy into the Olympic dream and the happy ending to the fairy tale. This is the third time, and we thought it needed to be written differently and it hasn't, and it's just so sad."
John Nicks, coach of Cohen: "Sasha and I are very disappointed Michelle is not here."
Frank Carroll, Kwan's former coach: "I feel badly because I think she wanted to do this very, very much. I think to win here was a real goal in her life. ... I would say I love her, win or lose. And the time we spent together was very precious to me, and I am sure it was to her. I want her to be happy."

The Hoeger House is a two-phase project designed for short-term
rehabilitation, as an alternative for patients to receiving
rehabilitation in a hospital or nursing home. A residential feel was
incorporated throughout the design to begin the separation of the
residents from the institutional environment. A communal kitchen, along
with private bedrooms and bathrooms assists the patients and therapists
in practicing the everyday motions needed to live independently. The
Hoeger House is part of a larger expansion of a growing healthcare and
retirement community.
Phase I of the Hoeger House project opened in October 2006 and received
a Leading Edge in Care and Services Award in May 2007 from the Kansas
Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (Phase I published in
the May/June 2008 Design Cost Data). This award is given annually to
recognize innovative programs and services focused on the well being of
the elderly.
Phase II was completed in 2010. The addition brings the number of
private rooms from 19 to 34. It also offers a larger centralized kitchen
and improved laundry facilities. The expansion has allowed the hospital
to add new services that enhance the short-term rehabilitation

What Is Cannabidiol (CBD)?
General Reference (not clearly pro or con)
Teresa Iuvone, PhD, Professor of Experimental Pharmacology at the University of Naples Federico II, et al., wrote in their 2004 paper "Neuroprotective Effect of Cannabidiol, a Non-psychoactive Component from Cannabis Sativa, on B-amyloid-induced Toxicity in PC12 Cells" in the Journal of Neurochemistry:
"Cannabinoids are a group of... compounds occurring in the glandular hairs of Cannabis sativa (Indian hemp) and consequently in hashish and marijuana... Cannabidiol, the main component of the glandular hairs (up to 15%), is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid; it exerts a plethora of pharmacological effects, including anti-convulsive, sedative, hypnotic, anti-psychotic, anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory actions. Cannabidiol is a potent antioxidant compound and it has been recently proposed to have a neuroprotective role..."
2004 - Teresa Iuvone, PhD
WiseGeek.com, an informational website and search engine, wrote in its article "What Is Cannabidiol?" (accessed Sep. 26, 2011):
"Cannabidiol is a cannabinoid and a major component of the cannabis plant, or marijuana plant. By itself, cannabidiol lacks the psychoactive effects most commonly associated with marijuana use yet still retains many of the medicinal benefits, such as its anti-seizure and anti-inflammatory effects. The legal status of cannabidiol varies from country to country. In the United States, for instance, it and all other phytocannabinoids are classified as Schedule I controlled substances, making possession or ingestion illegal."
Sep. 26, 2011 - WiseGEEK
The International Association for Cannabinoid Medicines, an international non-profit cannabinoid association, wrote in its "Cannabidiol" page on the website cannabis-med.org (accessed Sep. 28, 2011):
"CBD, or cannabidiol, is the major non-psychotropic cannabinoid found in Cannabis. It has shown anti-epileptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-emetic, muscle relaxing, anxiolytic, neuroprotective and anti-psychotic activity and reduces the psychoactive effects of THC [D9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana]. The mode of action of cannabidiol is not fully understood and several mechanisms have been proposed..."

Project CBD, a non-profit educational service dedicated to promoting and publicizing research into the medical utility of cannabidiol, wrote in its "About Cannabidiol" page on the website projectcbd.org (accessed Sep. 28, 2011):
"Cannabidiol —CBD— is a compound in Cannabis that has medical effects but does not make people feel 'stoned' and actually counters some of the effects of THC...
Scientific and clinical studies indicate that CBD could be effective in easing symptoms of a wide range of difficult-to-control conditions, including: rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, PTSD, epilepsy, antibiotic-resistant infections and neurological disorders. CBD has demonstrated neuroprotective effects, and its anti-cancer potential is currently being explored at several academic research centers in the U.S. and other countries."

7 in 7 Day 1: Psalm 98
I came across this challenge today, well, this evening, actually. Basiscally, it's a challenge to write 7 songs in 7 days:
there are only a few rules. and here they are.
- can't use any old material. you can't go dig through old journals and finish songs you've had laying around for years. this is about digging for new ideas, fleshing them out, and actually finishing them. because let's be honest we ALL have tons of old, unfinished songs lying around.
- post your songs daily. discipline requires some sense of vulnerability. one of the most vulnerable things as an artist is to actually show someone what you've created. i've been writing for ten years, and i still get nervous to show my own wife a new song i've written! it's just incredibly vulnerable! so, part of 7in7 is fighting through that as well. each day/night, i force myself to post a song… sometimes i'm proud of them and othertimes i'm wildly disappointed in them. but either way, we are all encouraged by progress, growth, and the transparency of simply being an artist. (i use soundcloud.com to post my songseach 7in7. it's a really simple website that is free and built to share songs. others might use their blogs, websites, etc.)
- you don't need a studio or equipment to record your songs. some writers have access to equipment and others do not. the beautiful thing is you don't have to have any sort of equipment to make a simple recording of your songs to post them. while some writers track in pro-tools with a few instruments, most just sit in front of their iphone and play/sing their song into the voice recorder. low quality is just as good as high quality…because what matters is the SONG…not the production of it.
- co-writing is allowed. you probably shouldn't co-write everyday, or you'll miss the growth in writing by yourself. but, an occasional co-write is allowed.
- free yourself up with this truth: you will write a few bad songs. it's ok. not every song will be epic. you will grow as a writer, even as you write a few "bad" songs.
Sing to the Lord
Let a new verse be sung
Tell of great things
that our God has done
His mighty hand
Has wrought our salvation
His righteousness
Is seen in every nation
The ends of the earth
Behold his steadfast love
O, sing to the Lord a new song
Any regulars want to co-write something this week? (especially you theologically trained types who might never have tried their hand at writing lyrics!)

Chris Brown at the heart of a new scandal
After proudly announcing he had successfully completed a year-long domestic violence course and showing the certificate on his Twitter account, Chris Brown once again uses the social network for less glorious actions.
The incident began on Wednesday when Raz-B challenged Chris Brown in a message, reminding him of his attack against Rihanna: "I'm just sittin here thinking how can n—as like [Eric Benet] and [Chris Brown] disrespect women as intelligent as Halle Berry, Rihanna."
Singer Eric Benet, who formed a couple with Halle Berry a few years ago, physically abused the 44-year-old actress.
Chris Brown then went after Raz-B, referring to allegations of sexual abuse that he has already filed against his former manager: "N—a you want attention! Grow up n—a!!! Di– in da booty ass lil boy."
"I was minding my damn business and Peter pan decides to pop off!!!" Brown wrote. "I'm not mad though!!! I'm just not silent nor am i one of these scary R&B cats!!"
Raz then continued his criticism: "When I need tips on how to demolish my career I'll call ya!!!! I love how u resort 2 disrespectful low brow tactics when u clearly sabotaged ur own career by beating women."
"I love how u resort 2 disrespectful low brow tactics when u clearly sabotaged ur own career by beating women," the former B2K member wrote.
The homophobic nature of the comments sparked grumbling from several users. Brown defended himself against homophobic accusations: "I'm not homophobic! He's just disrespectful!!!", assuring his gay fans that "this immature act is not targeted at you!!!!"
Chris Brown was convicted in 2009 for assaulting Rihanna and was consequently required to take the once-a-week class for one year, sentenced to 180 days of community labor, placed on five years of probation and issued a stay-away order from Rihanna.
After the quarrel, the two singers made their excuses for their homophobic comments and seem to have turned the page.

I refreshed myself at a poor little inn and was heavily charged for sour bread and hard cheese.
After this I munched some bread and hard cheese, sucked the dew from the fern fronds, and then fell into a broken sleep.
This type may also be divided into two groups, depending upon their texture; the hard cheese, and the soft cheese.
The extreme types of the hard cheese are so dry and firm that they can be cut only with difficulty.
Certain varieties of hard cheese of foreign origin are now made to some extent in this country.
Soft cheese mature much more rapidly than hard cheese; consequently they are short lived.
For food that sets your teeth on edge, eat an almond and hard cheese.
To her she went, who gave her a canvas bag of brown bread, a hard cheese, with a bottle of beer.
The ordinary cheddar, the common American type, is the most important example of the hard cheese; Limburger, of the soft cheese.
Prescott entered, and the lank youth, without a word, took down some crackers and hard cheese from a shelf.

I want to do this by making a POST request on the page /wp-admin/post.php.
Steps that are working so far :
