We recently put our house on the property market, although we have had a few people viewing, no offers as yet is there a spell to make it more saleable? thanks shetlandlass
I am sure my sister worked one for her house and it did sell :)
I'll see what I can find out, she probably found it in one of my books!

This home will sell soon
Sprinkle the position all over the house every day until all is used.
Good luck, hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
I am going to try it too, we havent even had any viewings yet but we will have, its an adorable property overlooking hills and land.
Thanks for posting this.
Good luck to all.
I tried this & have now just put the sold board up at the front of my house! A good result in the current market! Thanks to Christine!
We put our house on the market last Wednesday and have had 3 viewings with two more to come, and one of them being someone who's already been round. But I will be taking that spell just to give things a helping hand!
Thanks Christine!
Love and hugs

Hi Christine.
I did your spell house was sold with in fourteen days
Thanks .Love & Light.
Hi i'm new to the forum :)
I've came on here to look for a spell to succesfully sell my home as im moving from the midlands to cornwall to be closer to family, but my home has been slow at selling.
I look forward to speaking to u all :)
Hello All,
I'm also new to this Forum, And I was just wondering if anybody has successfully worked a spell to sell a car quickly (and to get the right price for it).
I've search the web for a spell, but it only brings up results to sell a house, I was thinking that i could adapt one of those?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brightest Blessings.
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum but have just tried the spell to sell my home today. It's been on the market for 2 weeks now. Fingers crossed.

I would love to try the spell ,that Christine put up,my problem is I have moved,but I can't go back to the house,it has been up for sale 2years this August.
We are at breaking point with it all,we went to auction with it,and the bid that went in for it was so low,we could not afford to accept it,I never wanted the house and hated every moment in it,I had to leave,feeling was so bad in it.
How can I do the spell is there another way? Thank you.
Elaine I would suggest using a picture of the house and visualizing yourself walking through the house and sprinkling the potion. If your body can't be there your mind certainly can. Sprinkle a bit on the picture as well. Might take a bit longer but the engergies should go where you need them. If you don't have a picture do the visualization and sprinkle the potion around you. If you need some grounding use a green candle to help you center.
Hello Elaine,
If you have a copy of the March issue of S&D, have a look at the article on page 83 - 3 quick ways to sell your home. My property went on the market the week before Christmas, I read this article, did the first option, sold my property on Feb 20th and bought one on the same day. Stay positive and good luck.
Hi, thanks for the spell, i have performed it, just waiting for the majic to work, many thanks, may angels bless you, julie
Hi, thank you so much for spell, i have performed it, what a lovely smell it makes, i will let you know if it works, many thanks, may Angels bless you, Julie
good luck julie i hope the spell works im sure it will. Love Gemini :') xxx
Hello, we have had our house on the market before, no luck selling it so took it off the market for a couple of months and have now got it back up for sale again and cheaper than it was before, going to try this spell myself soon and see if we can bring some luck into our lives! :o) Hope and pray it works for us too!!! xx Love Kerry...
Needing to sell my property quickly, just up with a new agent. I am currently waiting for Christine's spell to cool down so I can therefore sprinkle around the house as I have first viewing via new agent tomorrow! Wish me luck :)
Hehe I need the opposite. I would like a spell to help me buy a home. House prices are so expensive I am beginning to think that I will never be able to afford one.
Good luck to anyone who is trying to sell a house.
Waiting for the mixture to cool down, then I will sprinkle it in every room! Will let you know how I get on :)
Well, what a spell! We accepted an offer on our home 1 week and 5 days after casting this spell. Totally amazed!
The lady was down sizing had already sold her home and needed to move quick, was looking for a property with a garden as she has a dog. Sale agreed in 24 hours of her viewing the property! Our property had only been on the market for a few weeks too.
Well done and I hope this will mean a really positive move for you
Love Kirsty xx
I am going to try this spell we have 23 acres of land we are selling and want it gone asap as we are moving .
Thank you so much for the spell will let yall know how things go as soon as I get everything up to do it .
There is no house on the land so I guess I will walk each acre shacking my hands :)
i want to sell my house.
but customers also come but i don't know why anyone purchase it.
so please tell me a spell to sell my house
I would like to suggest you to avoid clutters in your house and get help from cash buyers.No need of much stress in selling your property.
We had tried the spell in The Old Girl's Book of Spells to sell a home and had great sucess with that, but I'm going to give this one a go and see what happens. We're in the US and can't get back issues of S & D - does anyone know where I might be able to view a reprint of that article?
This is from the article from March 2012.
Get up early and recite a daily dawn incantation to encourage a sale. Sunrise taps into the power of the waking sun to nurture growth (such s a growing interest in your home). Set aside a few quiet mintes and read the sales listing of your home on the internet or on the document showing your properties particulars. As you do so repeat the following chant:
Quickly the house will be selling
Solid new buyers today will bring
Money enough for me to retire
So my situation is no longer dire
or you can try crystal power from the same article
Buy a piece of Carnelian - an action stone in crystal terms. Its reddish brown colour represents Mother Earth's power and blessing, which will help attract abundance in the form of a good buyer and a decent price for your home. The red shade also increases passionate emotion and will encourage a buyer to set their heart on your property. Once a week, hold the stone, close your eyes for a few minutes and relax. Imagine yourself in your new place happy and healthy. Carry your carnelian with you whenever you do anything related to the move, such as going to view a property or signing any paperwork.
Hope this helps and good luck with your move.
Thank you for taking the time to post a summary of the article. Really appreciate it and look forward to putting some of this into the spell. I think for a while I just wasn't ready for our home to sell. Now I am.
I think intentions and beliefs are a key to any spell. And maybe since a part of me hadn't released the house it couldn't sell. I had to move on so to speak first.
Thanks again!!
My house went on the market yesterday. I have just flicked the lavender and sage water round my house... But I added a couple of drops of cinnamon oil for prosperity! I'll let you know how it goes.
Update: we had a viewing a couple of days later and they told me then and there that they wanted house but hadn't sold! However they sold the following week and then offered on ours. We have had our offer accepted and its all with the solicitors at the moment. I'm just hoping everything goes as easily over the next few weeks!
Did the spell on the first day of the new moon the 10th and have to admit a couple of days we missed the repeated sprinklings because we were so busy and tired from packing and cleaning things up, but the house went on the market on the 16th and we had two offers by the 17th.
A lot of it has to do with intentions and beliefs, too. We still have a house on the market in another state. It's been on for over a year, but I've recently been talking with a spiritual advisor who assured me the house would sell, too, but everything needed to play out it as it has for us to have the desired life we wanted to create. And I can see that now.
I think now all is in place for that house to sell, too. And we're going there in a few days and will do the spell in person just to let the universe know of our intention there and that we're ready for it to sell, too.
Good morning! We placed our house on the market on 2/16/13 using an astrological chart that I drew up.
That's when I began looking for assistance and found this thread.
This week, I began visualizing the house with the beauty of light, love, happiness and peace surrounding it. Angels watching over it. The love of the Lord engulfing it. Lushness and abundance everywhere.
The house is located in another state, so I continue to do this in my head, daily, as I meditate. I express my gratitude and love to the house, letting it know that I am so appreciative of all the wonderful times spent there, raising my children and being enveloped in its love.
While expressing my gratitude, I envision myself, assisted by the angels and fairies on the property, sharing the shimmering droplets of lavender, sage and cinnamon all around. The house glows.
It fills with beautiful golden light - shimmers of color, gold, white, purples, indigos, greens, yellows, pinks, etc. I am having a wonderful time doing this! Then I call to the buyers and imagine many coming to see the house, loving the house and buying the house. I say the words - and then imagine us receiving a check, blessing the house with a loving goodby, and closing the gate behind us.
We had our first showing yesterday and there is another scheduled for today.
I'm excited and grateful for this thread! I'll let you know!
Hi all
I'm new here today. Had our house on the market since 1st June 2012. We are emigrating to Australia so things are getting quite urgent.
I cast this spell today and hope it helps. I will let you know how I got on..................
Where is the house located ? do you have any pics ?
My house has been for sale for over 2 years and reduced the price by £75k. A terrible loss. But I am being forced to sell the house by my mother who hates my husband and will stop at nothing to cause me maximum trouble because of him. She has money in the house although it is mine. She lives in the house, I can't get her out. She has already forced me out of the house once and it took me nearly 3 years to get back in, such is our justice system! Her latest tricks are to upset my children, call the police on me saying I'm being violent and abusive. Even when I haven't spoken to her all day, she still rings them saying I've been abusive and threatening. It's all in her plan to get me to court, get ME thrown out and to remain in the house herself, putting off buyers whilst I continue to pay for it!!! It is a beautiful house but it needs to go as I need to get out of this situation. My family are in pieces, the police are sympthetic as they see what she is doing, Social Services are the same. Nobody will help, they say they can't!! Everyone just tells me to get out but if I do, I will never sell the house. And why should I go, when it's mine! Please, does anyone know of a spell that can help me? Desperate doesn't come close to how I feel. Thank you. xx
My husband and I have all the financing in order and have waited 20 years for the chance to buy our dream home. It is located across the street from my father who will need our love and care in the years to come and the house came on the market via a short sale 8 months ago. There is an investor who has been haggeling with the bank all this time and the seller has agreed to let us make an offer if this investor drops out of the deal with the bank. I have used a candle with our names and the address of the house, set it in the earth from the house and even have a key to the house next to the candle that I dressed with cinnamon oil and held next to my heart with my intention ... Is there something more I can do? waiting patiently, Gracie
I am using Christines spell at the moment and I am waiting for a state of st Joseph to arrive (I ordered it before I saw this post) Can I ask st joseph to help me sell my house at the same time as using Christines spell?
I would like to thank you very much Christine for this spell. I got an offer the day after and the settlement of my property went through :)
I'm very excited to cast this spell to sell our home. Could those of you that have had success with this spell tell me what day of the week and what time of day they cast this spell? I know that Monday is ruled by the moon and the best day for working magic involving the home, but Saturday may also be good as that is the day of endings and letting go. I'm open to everyone's thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.
i have a historical home near the Rhein river in Germany to sell i am i great need of a spell,but the spell above states that i should heat the potion in a pan, i have just canceled all the utilities so i have no water ,electric or gas. is there any way i can produce this potion for the spell in another place and then bring it to the house i need to sell and sprinkle it ? and may i use fresh/dried lavender? also in the instructions it says one should do this daily untill the potion is gone. i am only able to go to this house once a month or less because of the distance. does anyone have any ideas or spells i could use from a distance ?
thanks Iron Bound
I made the Potion last Night,
sprinkled it all over the House/Rooms.....
Our House is on the Market for 2 Months with 4 showings and No Offers!
i really Hope this works,i am so tired of cleaning up after my 3 kids and keep the House in constant clean status....very excausting :)
i keep everyone updated on the resault :)
hi everyone i performed this spell a view weeks ago but have yet to receive any interest but i am keeping postive wish me luck everyone
Hi don't know if you have had any luck selling your house yet? Saturday in the time of a waxing moon is best. Also I have found a dab of patchouli oil on each corner of the for sale helps. Good luck Moonshadow x
Hi just sent u a message about selling house, not sure if I put right moon time should be waxing, sorry but that is the menopause for you. Moonshadow x

Hi all, I have just been reading about this spell for selling a house.
I'm going to try it tomorrow (Saturday) as I feel that the house hasn't been very lucky for myself and my husband since moving in. Did try to sell it last year and had no luck.
Will update you how it goes.
Essexlady xx
I found this forum and thread after desparately trying to sell a house for around nine months. A week after trying Christine's spell we accepted an offer on the house - thank you so much! We don't live in the house and it's not near us so I pictured myself walking around the house while dipping my fingers into the potion.
I just have one question, what should I do with the remainder of the potion? Do I need to keep repeating sprinkling the potion until the house sale completes? If not, does anyone have any reccomendations on what to do with it?
Thanks in advance,
That's a good question, Lost in Normandy, how DO you dispose of a spell after performing it? Would love an answer as I don't want to undo my work. Can anyone let me know?
Sorry, my brain's giving me the silent treatment today! I just answered my question by reading the bit
"Sprinkle the position all over the house every day until all is used"
Lost in Normandy, I guess you need to repeat what you did until all the mix is all used up but as you have a buyer...congratulations!

The Nigerian government clearly believe so - They've stepped in to ask cinemas to stop screening the movie and are demanding an apology from Sony Pictures for the movie's "unwarranted attack" on the country. Allegations of racism against Neill Blomkamp's movie have been flying since its release, but this new move from the Nigerian government raises the stakes significantly. Information Minister Dora Akunyili explained her problems with the movie: We feel very bad about this because the film clearly denigrated Nigeria's image by portraying us as if we are cannibals, we are criminals... The name [of] our former president was clearly spelt out as the head of the criminal gang and our ladies shown like prostitutes sleeping with extra-terrestrial beings... I have also formally written to Sony Pictures Entertainment, the company that produced this film, demanding an unconditional apology for this unwarranted attack on Nigeria's image.The government has also asked the Nigerian film censors' board to ban the movie within the country.

A Dutch web hosting company has been accused of orchestrating the biggest-ever attack on the Internet that dramatically slowed web access around the world Tuesday.
The web hosting company Cyberbunker is said to be receiving support from criminal gangs in Russia and Eastern Europe to bombard servers with gigantic amounts of traffic in a bid to make the web inaccessible.
The allegations have been made by London-based Spamhaus, a company that attempts to block junk emails across the Internet.
Steve Linford, chief executive of Spamhaus, told the BBC that its servers had been hit by a denial of service attack at 300 gigabytes per second for the last week. He said attacks on the past that have blocked, for example, banking services, were only at 50Gb per second.
He said the attacks were being investigated by five national police services around the world.

1600mm Starmax P-51 Build Report (lots of pics)
Got my Starmax P-51 in the Big Beautiful Doll scheme the other day from Hobby Shop Warehouse and finally got some time start to put her together. Thought you guys looking at getting this plane might want to mid-build report. I will compare a lot to the FMS, as I have two of them and it is a similar type plane.
I will start with the good. Everything was in the kit as advertised. ESC has worked so far, as there was a failure on a Starmax Gunfighter shortly after T/O. It has a Deans connector for the battery. Took motor out and the firewall is much better than the FMS. It has 4 machine type screws, is very solid and does not look like it will strip like the FMS plastic and wood screws tends to do. Painted parts of airplane are done well, interior of airplane is roomy and easy to work in terms of getting to servos, wires, ESC and lots of room for a big battery. There is no offset to the right on the motor mount or much down thrust, if any. ( I prefer no offset) There is an empty space for another servo in the fuse, maybe to run the radiator flap, which works! Control surfaces are pretty solid, more so than the FMS. The plane is big and looks good......from a distance...which leads me to the bad. The Bad: The decals are absolutely worthless. (check pics) The prop came with one of the HamStand decal on a blade half gone, and paint chipped off the prop tips. The quality of the decals and the application of the decals is terrible. Misaligned, torn and crooked. I am either going to paint some of it and have Callie or just have Callie make decals for it all. Also some are put in the wrong place or the wrong font/shape. (the Big Beautiful Doll decal being the worst) The canopy has to be glued to the cockpit, and they didn't cut the canopy straight or long enough to cover it completely. There is some of the black cockpit showing between the canopy skirt and the fuse. (see pics) Just plain bad. The hole in the backplate for the prop adapter was not centered when it was drilled out. I thought the prop was way out of balance because when I ran the motor the whole airplane shook and it was obvious that the prop/motor was causing the vibration as it was pretty wobbly. Upon further inspection, I realized how off center the hole was and that was the culprit. (see pics) The cowling does not come off, so you need a really long thin phillips screwdriver (#1, 6-8 inches) to get to the motor mount screws. Big bonus if it is magnetized. There is not much room in there and the motor wants to grab the screws and the screwdriver. Can be a little tedious. No instructions for the ESC. It came with the prop brake on. Backplate is really really tight on prop adapter. Can be hard to get off. I mean really hard. Wires from motor are really short and a little tough to connect to the ESC. Of course you have to take the motor out completely to connect to the ESC. The bad is more than the good right now, but still have retracts to check, over all ease of assembly, servos and motor/ESC/Prop to wattmeter. The good list might catch up. Of course the big test is how she flies, and I hope to know that this week. If you guys or girls can think of anything else, ask away. Rob |

Even more pics of Starmax P-51-
Last set of pics for now
quality issues
hello rob,
you would think they would check the electronics before shipping. this nice looking planes ,,,could turn out to be a lemon. the decal pics of your plane are terrible .i am sure when you get the callie decals you will make a beautiful plane,but shouldnt a brand new plane come from the factory be that way? i can understand a chip or a little pealinng ,but cmon starmax get with the program on qualiy issues.these are the kind of things that will make people change there mind about buying their product. just my 2 cents art |
I have been thinking on doing that or a few other ideas. I would like to fix it to see how it flies stock, but had plans to get a 16.6 inch and 18.8 inch variprop anyway. Looks like that is gonna happen sooner rather than later.
How completely and uterly disappointing. Not all of us want to rebuild a ready to fly plane before flying it. All the excitement I had for this plane has evaporated, at least until version two comes out or a lot more reports come in of satisfactory planes. There is no excuse for this except total lack of pride in work and just wanting to dump something on the market for quick profits.
Wish I could argue with you Splais, but I can't. It is not a RTF airplane. The FMS has some issues, but overall the quality is not the same as the FMS, and that is not saying much. It would benefit Starmax to listen to the consumer as it appears FMS does. Maybe they will improve and refine to make it a better plane, but bigger right now is not better.
You would be somewhat better off getting the basic frame only with retracts for $149.00. Still would not fix the decal problem, the off center prop hub problem.... ad nauseam. |
Thanks for the heads up on all the issues along with the pictures. I was soooo close to ordering one but held off. No excuse for all the lame quality. Last year I bought a P-38 from BH and it came with a lot of similar quality issues. Worst was they put the parts in the plastic bags before the paint had dried. Looked like a P-38 painted in green peanut butter. To bad as I had high hopes for this one. Maybe they will correct the issues down the road. Good luck on all the fixes -- Stacker |
Last edited by stacker; Jan 24, 2011 at 11:34 AM.
Just a heads up guys, I talked with Chuck at HSW about these decal issues. He told me that we could order the plane without the decals being applied now, just tell him that when you order the plane....
RGD, tks for the very informative review. I havnt had the time to get mine to do the same...have also made Starmax aware of the quality control issues.... |
Rob, on your pics I noticed they used the early version of Big Beautiful Doll lettering but the checkers on the nose is the later version. Not sure how many know there are two version of this plane. The early version has only a couple rows of checkers on the nose and the simple lettering like on your pics. Also the colors are yellow and green checkers. And I think they got the tail color wrong. The later has the nice concave lettering and the large checkered area. Funny, they got them wrong on both counts. If you go with Callie Graphics, maybe the early version would make your original. |
Food for though Lith...After all, going original would be a break from the same old same old.
I have seen that version of BBD. I don't know how you mix those two versions up, but it is apparent which scheme Starmax was going for on the BBD, and they missed the target. |

Utah women graduate from college less often than male counterparts
October 31, 2012Author: Justina McCandless | The Salt Lake Tribune
http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/55176882-78/women-college-utah-education.html.cspThe gap between men and women attaining four-year degrees in Utah has grown to6 percent: A disparity that separates the Beehive State from the rest of the U.S.
Since the 1990s, post-secondary education enrollment figures for Utah women have steadily declined—a trend that's resulted in Utah ranking 26th in the nation for higher education completion by women.
These and other statistics were presented to educators, community activists and women from across the state Tuesday in Salt Lake City at the United Way's Women and Education Summit. The conference opened with keynote speeches from a data expert and from a local education advocate who set the tone for the event by communicating a problem: women in Utah are struggling to get college degrees.
Keynote speaker Mary Daly, the associate director of research at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, began the conversation by emphasizing the importance of women succeeding financially when graduating with a college diploma.
"College is a great equalizer," Daly said. People born at the bottom of the economic scale who don't go to college have a higher chance of staying at the bottom, she said. But if they seek out a higher education, their chances of improving their lives increase, she said.
Unfortunately, she noted, because of the rising cost of higher education and other deterrents, it's not always easy to navigate the college road.
"While college is a great equalizer in the United States, college is not distributed equally in the United States…Only a small fraction of those born to the bottom actually ever go to college and finish college," she said.
The other keynote speaker, Susan Madsen, founder of the Utah Women and Education Project, said that college graduation struggles are not limited to women.
"We are very, very concerned about the men as well. The numbers have gone down for men as well," Madsen said. "When compared to national averages Utah men and women are not matching the completion rate of their U.S. counterpart."
"As we strive to improve completion rates of all Utahans we cannot devalue the focus on women in order to begin to focus on men. Each gender faces its own unique barriers," said Madsen.
Madsen listed a variety of reasons that influence women to succeed in their higher education careers, including implementing the focus on higher ed at younger ages and surrounding young women with positive education role models and abundant leadership opportunities.
These methods, she said, are needed to combat an attitude that college isn't important.
"There is a strong belief that women need to give up or sacrifice college once they have children, that it is their duty to drop out of school. They cannot see a life of integration," Madsen said. "What we did not hear in our data were things like 'I can go part time now,' 'I can take online classes, 'my husband can watch the kids, the children, in the evening.' It was all or nothing."
Rachel Lopez, who works in Utah County, said she sees women dropping out because they don't know how to function in multiple roles at once.
"It's always been 'the women stay home and take care of the children.' Times have obviously changed," Lopez said. "It's not like that anymore, but the mentality of it is still here in Utah. We need to break that up."
Lopez said it was sad to hear the disheartening statistics, especially those concerning Latinos.

text: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing The Original HoneyBaked Ham Co. of Georgia Inc. for alleged severe and pervasive sexual harassment at its Colorado stores. The lawsuit also accuses the company of retaliating against female employees who complained about the misconduct.In the lawsuit, the EEOC alleged that Wendy Cabrera, a manager at the Highlands Ranch store, and other women suffered from repeat and offensive unwanted sexual comments, innuendos and physical touching by their regional manager despite frequent protests.The EEOC said a number of the women were disciplined or discharged by the company for complaining up the chain of command about the treatment."Cases such as this one show that sexual harassment is still a prevalent problem in the modern workplace," said EEOC Phoenix district regional attorney Mary Jo ONeill in a statementThe Original HoneyBaked Ham Co. issued a statement Monday saying it "does not and will not tolerate any act of sexual harassment.""When the allegations arose in 2010, we investigated, conducted a full review of the allegations and took immediate actions," the company said. "It is the policy of The HoneyBaked Ham Co. that all associates should be able to enjoy a work atmosphere free from all forms of discrimination, including harassment."The EEOC is asked for back pay and compensatory and punitive damages on behalf of Cabrera and the other women.The EEOC is also asking the court to require all managers and human resources personnel undergo training in antidiscrimination law, including best practices for identifying, investigating and eliminating sexual harassment from the workforce.HoneyBaked Ham has 10 stores in Colorado.

Kelly Clarkson Says Being In Love Changed Her Songwriting!
Kelly tells us why there was pressure writing 'Catch My Breath'
It's December now, which means if you haven't cemented your holiday plans, you really better get on it!
"American Idol " season one winner Kelly Clarkson tells On Air with Ryan Seacrest she'll be spending Christmas with her boyfriend Brandon Blackstock's family, which is definitely a sign things are going well for the pair. Many of Kelly's songs have been about independence and female empowerment, so has being deeply in love for the first time changed her songwriting?
"Yeah, definitely. Even with 'Catch My Breath' writing that…he knows we we're already together and I was like I'm trying to write something that encompasses the fact that I'm grateful for my relationship," she told us.
She also said there was pressure writing "Catch My Breath" as it was for her greatest hits album. But judging by its success, we'd say it belongs there.

Gwyneth Paltrow is coming to McKinley High in November, according to E! Online.
Paltrow, 37, is reportedly in talks to guest star in two episodes of 'Glee' as a substitute teacher who'll also fill-in as the Glee coach when Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) gets sick. Her character is also set to make googly eyes at Mr. Shue, "complicating" his relationship with OCD sweetheart Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays).

Do You Want To Be A Gardener? Follow These Instructions!
Growing a thriving garden is something that everyone is capable of doing with soaker hose. Even if you don't have a lot of space for your own garden you can create something amazing if you follow the right gardening tips and advice. Even people with small patios or no yard space at all. Some gardeners even manage to grow amazing voodoo-lily totally inside. If you are interested in learning more about how to grow, keep and care for plants, keep reading. This article has the gardening tips that you have been looking for.
You should apply much to your garden because it keeps pests away while adding much needed nutrients to the soil. Mulch is a great anti-weed addition to any garden. Gardeners like mulch because it takes care of some basic maintenance tasks while also increasing the over all health of the garden. Mulch is popular for a number of reasons.
In addition to keeping the soil moist for your plants the mulch also helps to regulate the temperature of the soil. Mulch also cuts down on the cost of garden maintenance because it is much cheaper than other fertilizing alternatives. Mulch works really well and doesn't cost much at all. Learn how to differentiate between the plants you want to grow and the weeds that will grow between them. Believe it or not, there are a lot of new gardeners who still think that weeds and plants will look different enough that telling them apart will be easy. Unfortunately this is not true: weeds and chosen plants often look quite a bit alike. This means that you could end up undoing a bunch of your hard work without realizing it. Learn how to tell the flowers apart from the weeds. This will save you a lot of problems later on.
Remember that gardening is a year round activity. Even during the colder months of winter, when almost nothing is blooming, you can find work to do. You will have to do a few things to prepare your garden's soil for the winter. Most of the spring plants you enjoy are supposed to be planted during the last frosting season of the year. Your garden plot will need care even when the plants aren't sprouting. Your garden will be more successful if you take care of your garden all year round.
Gardening doesn't have to be hard. With the right knowledge even the blackest gardening thumb can be turned green. Sometimes all a person needs to have is the right information to help them grow a good garden. Practicing is a good idea too. Just be vigilant and eventually you will grow a wonderful garden. Even world champion gardeners had to start their first garden at some point. Nobody is perfect on their first try!

Dear Editor:
Mom has always been there to nurture and take care of you. Mother's Day is the perfect time to give back and look out for her. If she's having a hard time paying for her prescription drugs, tell her about the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan and the extra help available through Social Security.
If your mother, or any special woman in your life, is covered by Medicare and has limited income and resources, she may be eligible for extra help to pay her monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. The extra help is worth an average of $3,900 per year.
Perhaps you've looked into the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan for Mom before, and discovered that she did not qualify due to her income or resources. In 2010, the law has changed. As Chubby Checker will tell you, a new "twist" in the law makes it easier than ever to qualify for the extra help.
It's easy to figure out whether Mom is eligible for the extra help. To qualify, she must be receiving Medicare and:
Ÿ Have income limited to $16,245 for an individual or $21, 855 for a married couple living together. Even if her annual income is higher, she still may be able to get some help with monthly premiums, annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. Some examples in which income may be higher include if she or her husband:
Ÿ Support other family members who live with them;
Ÿ Have earnings from work; or
Ÿ Live in Alaska or Hawaii; and
Have resources limited to $12,510 for an individual or $25,010 for a married couple living together. Resources include such things as bank accounts, stocks and bonds. We do not count her house or car as resources.
Thanks to this new "twist" in the law, we no longer count any life insurance policy she has as a resource, and we no longer count as income any financial assistance she receives regularly from someone else to pay her household expenses like food, mortgage or rent, utilities or property taxes. Don't take our word for it, see Chubby Checker's rocking message at www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp [1].
While you're there, you can fill out an easy-to-use online application for your mom at www.socialsecurity.gov/prescriptionhelp [1]. To apply by phone or have an application mailed to you, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) and ask for the Application for Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs (SSA-1020). Or go to the nearest Social Security office.
If you'd like to learn more about the Medicare prescription drug plans and special enrollment periods, visit www.medicare.gov [2] or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227; TTY 1-877-486-2048).
Maybe it's been a few years since Mom has taken to the dance floor to do The Twist. But saving an extra $3,900 a year on prescription drugs may cause her to jump up and dance. What better gift could you give her this Mother's Day?

Avatars Are For Real: Virtual Communities and Public Spheres
Using the historical example of Tokugawa Japan (1603-1867), we point out how artistic circles provided a "virtual world," a kind of early modern "second life." This world gave their participants the opportunity to escape from the vertical, hierarchical, feudal structure through the creation of horizontal public spheres, in loosely coupled networks based on the strength of weak ties. In an often playful way, these aesthetic circles provided alternative forms of sociability to premodern Japanese people. This in turn had a serious impact on the formation of political modernity in Japan. We explore parallels with the virtual world of Second Life. There, too, new public spheres are being carved out, in equally playful and largel apolitical ways, that may yet have profound and unforeseen consequences for society at large. We illustrate our analysis with two novel examples of communicative spheres in Second Life, the Meta Institute for Computational Astrophysics and a broadly interdisciplinary initiative called Play as Being. In conclusion, we see the need for a theoretical revision of the notion of "public sphere" beyond its conventional usage. As the virtual worlds of Tokugawa, Japan and Second Life illustrate, the strength of weak-tie networks can form the basis for public spheres in a surprisingly large spectrum of times, locations and cultures.

To everyone who joined our Twitter Party the other night--thanks so much! It was so much fun! I could hardly keep up with all the awesome pepper tweets, and we made #pepperparty trend pretty dang quick. Very cool :)
Divemex knows their stuff when it comes to peppers. From Divemex: "The growers of Divemex specialize in greenhouse grown peppers in state of the art facilities that facilitate the production of the highest quality peppers in some of the safest facilities anywhere. But most importantly, as a Fair Trade Certified company, they have an unwavering commitment to social responsibility that includes support for families of their workers, health care for all employees and a child-free environment." Go ahead and show them some love on Facebook!
Today's prize is pretty bomb: a Wusthof Classic 8" Chef's Knife - $190 Value. Scroll down to the Raffecopter and check it out!
It's been a super insane week while I try to spend as much time as I can with Cory (he leaves for Austin before I do), plan for the move, and start to pack my stuff while freaking out about every little thing. And, while I knew I wanted to make a bisque, I didn't have TIME to do it until today. So I did it all, bought ingredients, cooked, photographed. Today. Obviously it was raining so I did what I could with natural light. I apologize if my pictures are lousy, I didn't have time to edit them either. Basically, right now my main focus has been to try to save money for my trip. Friends have been great with giving me side work and extra jobs to do for money, but most of my free time is being taken up by trying to earn said money. I'm so so grateful, it just leaves little room for cooking!
But--I did it. And I'm glad I did. This soup is pretty great!
Since my Roasted Red Pepper Soup from and earlier post got so much amazing feedback, I thought I'd up the ante and edit it a bit--now there's more vegetables, and I've upgraded it to a bisque rather than a soup. The results? Pretty incredible. This soup is great with a big ol' slab of crusty bread, a grilled cheese, or just sipped on its own.

Roasted Red Pepper Bisque
- 2 large red peppers
- 1 small orange pepper, diced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 head garlic
- 1 small onion
- 2 tbs tomato paste
- 1 can petite diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable if you'd like to go vegetarian)
- 1 tbs sherry vinegar
- 1 tbs sriracha
- 1/2 cup light cream
- 2+ tbs olive oil
- crushed red pepper
- salt and pepper
-Prick holes in red peppers and rub with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Cut off the top of the garlic so that tops of cloves are exposed but still hold together. Drizzle garlic with olive oil and cover with tin foil and place on baking sheet. Place baking sheet in an oven heated to 400 degrees F and bake for about 20 minutes, turning peppers halfway, or until peppers begin to blister.
-Meanwhile, over medium heat, heat 2 tbs olive oil in a saucepan and add the onion, celery, orange pepper, carrots, and crushed red pepper. Cook until onion is translucent. Stir in tomato paste, then add the tomatoes, sriracha, and vinegar.
-When peppers are fully cooked, let cool until safe to touch and peel off skin and discard seeds. Add to the pot, along with the garlic (which you can get out simply by squeezing it). Add the chicken broth and let simmer for about five minutes.
-Puree with an immersion blender or in batches in a standing blender. Add cream. Cook a few more minutes over medium heat, then serve.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- A ranking of U.S. diet programs found among the 12 commercial programs marketed to the public, Weight Watchers was the best.
In Best Diets 2013, U.S. News & World Report ranked Weight Watchers as the Best Weight-Loss Diet, with Biggest Loser, Jenny Craig and Raw Food Diet tied for second place.
The magazine also ranked the diets on likelihood of ability to prevent and control diabetes and heart disease, healthiness and how easy they are to follow. A new rankings category added this year was Best Plant-Based Diets -- won by The Mediterranean followed by the Flexitarian diet.
The DASH -- Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension -- diet, wasn't created as a way to drop pounds, but as a means of combating high blood pressure. The federal government, which funded the research behind DASH, doesn't even call it a diet -- it's an "eating plan."
The DASH diet beat out 28 other diets including Atkins, Jenny Craig and Slim-Fast, as the Best Diet Overall followed by the TLC Diet.
The Best Diabetes Diet was Biggest Loser, which was tied with the DASH Diet.
The Best Heart-Healthy Diet was the Ornish Diet followed by the TLC Diet.

1 Weather Alert Freeze Warning issued March 22 at 2:27PM EDT expiring March 23 at 9:00AM EDT in effect for: Jackson, Jennings 1 Weather Alert
Officials: Guards Released Jailhouse Tattoo Photo To Blog 8:10 AM, Sep 29, 2006 Share Article Previous Next stockelman tattoo 2 Anthony Stockelman collman katie collman Show Caption Hide Caption Previous Next Officials released new information Thursday about the origin of a jailhouse tattoo on the forehead of the man convicted of killing Katie Collman, 10.Wabash Valley Correctional Facility officials said they think another inmate scrawled the words "Katie's Revenge" across 39-year-old Anthony Stockelman's forehead.Two guards have also been fired. Officials think they leaked the picture of Stockelman's tattoo to a blog site in Lima, Ohio.Stockelman was put in protective custody after authorities discovered the tattoo.Stockelman is serving life in prison for molesting and killing Collman. The Crothersville girl's body was found in a creek in January 2005.The blogger, a mother of three, told The Associated Press that she received the photograph in an e-mail Saturday. The accompanying text said the picture was of Stockelman and that the tattoo had been given to him against his will while prison officials were moving inmates in the cell block. She said the e-mail also claimed a distant relative of Katie's who also is incarcerated at the prison about 30 miles south of Terre Haute had had given Stockelman the tattoo. She said it was not clear how many were involved in the assault. The woman, who uses the name Lilo, declined to give her full name, saying she has received repeated threats from those she writes about on her blog.Tattoos are against state prison regulations, but inmates often fashion crude tattoo instruments with plastic utensils and needles. Anthony Stockelman Prison officials would not confirm the account of how Stockelman was tattooed but said an inmate has been identified as a suspect in the assault.Two prison guards also have been fired for making "unauthorized copies of an evidence photo," Larsen said. The Associated Press left telephone messages seeking comment for the guards, Robert Woods and Teresa Seifert Siders.The tattoo is the latest twist in a case that prompted a worldwide outpouring for Katie.Investigators interviewed Stockelman soon after Katie disappeared because he matched the description of a man seen with her that day. Police dismissed him as a suspect when a lie-detector test was inconclusive and another man confessed.Charles "Chuckie" Hickman, a 20-year-old Crothersville resident, confessed to having been involved in the girl's death. Hickman told police he killed the girl after she discovered a methamphetamine operation.Police and prosecutors later dismissed Hickman's confession as false after Indiana State Police linked Stockelman to Katie's death through DNA evidence. They have never said why Hickman confessed to a crime he did not commit. Share Article A Share A A A Share Article

StarCraft: Brood War is an expansion pack released in 1998 for StarCraft. It was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Saffire Entertainment.
Brood War was also incorporated into StarCraft 64.[1]
As of June 29, 2009, StarCraft and Brood War combined have sold more than eleven million copies.[2]
With Patch 1.8, the expansion and its base game were made free to anyone with Battle.net.[3]
General InformationEdit
This expansion provides three new campaigns, two new units per race (3 for the protoss), plus some new tech advancements (eg Charon boosters, an anti-air attack range upgrade for the goliath), new music tracks and new map tilesets (eg twilight, tileset of the protoss world of Shakuras). The campaigns continue the story from where StarCraft left off:[4] the Overmind has been destroyed with the sacrifice of Tassadar, the protoss homeworld of Aiur has been left desolate and rampaged by the zerg, and Sarah Kerrigan is left alone in her new form.
The first of the new campaigns is the protoss one and mostly takes place on the Dark Templar homeworld of Shakuras. The second campaign (terran) features the newly arrived armies of the United Earth Directorate commanded by Admiral Gerard DuGalle, and the last campaign (zerg) features Kerrigan as the protagonist.

Episode IVEdit
This is the protoss campaign of the StarCraft: Brood War game.
- Full details are in StarCraft Episode IV.
Following Tassadar's sacrifice, the zerg on the protoss homeworld fell into disarray, but were still bent on their genocidal rampage. The zerg had split into two factions, under the control of Daggoth and Kerrigan
Protoss refugees, under the leadership of Artanis and Zeratul, retreated to the homeworld of the Dark Templar, Shakuras, despite protests from Aldaris. Raynor and Fenix went with them. The zerg followed. After arriving, the protoss soon realized that two of their companions were gone. Mourning the loss of Raynor and Fenix, they established a settlement dubbed New Antioch. They discovered Kerrigan after blowing up a zerg base. The protoss and Dark Templar reluctantly joined forces with Kerrigan, after she explained that she was now free of the Overmind's control, but that a new Overmind was growing on Char. Kerrigan asked for their help to kill it before it reached maturity and took control of Kerrigan's mind again. However, the protoss asked for a favor in return. Two ancient crystals, imbued with the powers of the Dark Templar and Templar Caste, had to be recovered and be used to power the world's xel'naga temple to defeat the zerg on Shakuras. The two crystals were retrieved with Kerrigan's assistance. During the battles, a massive terran fleet from the distant United Earth Directorate intervened, while Aldaris, troubled by their relations with the "traitorous" Dark Templar, split off and declared war on Artanis' forces and the Dark Templar, only to be defeated by Artanis and Zeratul, but this was part of Kerrigan's plotting; she tricked the protoss into damaging Daggoth's zerg for her.
The two crystals, infused with the power of the two templars, were then joined in a xel'naga temple. The two energies mixed and wiped out all zerg on the planet, thus saving the protoss but also strengthening Kerrigan's position.[5]
Episode V Edit
This is the terran campaign of the StarCraft: Brood War game.
- Full details are in StarCraft Episode V.
The player character joined the United Earth Directorate Expeditionary Fleet, assigned to subdue the terran worlds in this sector, but their high-handed actions quickly make enemies of the various zerg and protoss factions as well. Their first enemy to fall was Mengsk's Dominion, and later they also gained telepathic control of the local zerg. Kerrigan convinced Raynor to rescue Mengsk. Though divided by a zerg spy, Samir Duran, the UED succeeded in capturing and enslaving the new Overmind, gaining control of many zerg forces.[5]
Episode VI Edit
This is the zerg campaign of the StarCraft: Brood War game.
- Full details are in StarCraft Episode VI.
With the massive UED fleet controlling increasing numbers of zerg, Kerrigan was severely threatened. Painting herself as a victim, and the combined zerg-UED as the greater enemy (as well as the judicious use of threats and hostages), Kerrigan gained the reluctant assistance of the scattered terran, protoss and Dark Templar forces. As the UED was beaten back, however, she turned on each of her "allies" one by one. The new Overmind was killed, and Kerrigan gained control of all the zerg.[5]
- Full details are in Dark Origin.
In this campaign, Duran was an ally and consort of Kerrigan, though it was revealed in the secret mission, "Dark Origin", that he ultimately served a greater, unaligned, power. It was also revealed that he has made many zerg-protoss hybrids.[6] These hybrids, their true nature unknown, play a large role in StarCraft II.
In addition, Brood War features a downloadable campaign called Enslavers: Dark Vengeance and is associated with a trio of secret missions: Deception, Mercenaries II and Resurrection IV, the latter only available in StarCraft 64.
New UnitsEdit
In StarCraft: Brood War, each race has new units that change how the game flows.
The terrans get the Valkyrie (air-to-air unit with large attack radius, firing four groupings of two missiles that then acquire their own targets from any non-allied unit in range) and the medic (infantry support unit). The zerg get the devourer (air-to-air unit evolved from mutalisk with a very low rate of fire that can inflict a status ailment) and the lurker (ground-to-ground unit evolved from hydralisk that attacks while burrowed and has a line-splash attack). The protoss get the dark templar (similar to the dark templar hero, but does slightly less damage and can transform into the dark archon); dark archon (a spellcaster that is capable of causing enemy units to join your force); and the corsair (air-to-air splash unit that fires quickly and has the ability to pacify ground units and defensive structures). The terrans and protoss gain a spellcaster each.[4]
Brood War and its base game are to be remade in StarCraft: Remastered, which feature updated visuals, audio and support features but maintain the same base gameplay.[7]
Development on Brood War began shortly after the release of StarCraft in 1998, and was announced after the release of StarCraft's first two expansion packs, Insurrection and Retribution.[8]
Most of the team at Blizzard Entertainment responsible for StarCraft returned to work on Brood War. They were assisted by members of Saffire Entertainment, who were contracted for a variety of tasks comprising of programming and design for levels, visuals and audio effects.[4] According to producer Shane Dabiri, Brood War aimed to drastically increase the significance of the story within gameplay, stating that the team were adding scripting that would allow "Final Fantasy type events" to be played out during the course of a level. Dabiri further explained that the objectives in the missions would also reflect the story in a far more interactive way, with players being presented with tactical decisions over which objectives to pursue and with fewer missions revolving around simple annihilation of the enemy.[8]

The events of StarCraft: Brood War had little impact on StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty because the impact was mainly on characters. Little changed in the political situation, with the biggest one, the arrival of the United Earth Directorate fleet, reversed by the end.[9]
