Whether it be our standard wood liner that will protect your box from everyday use, or a custom wood liner with toolboxes to keep the back of your truck organized.
{Click on images to enlarge}
|Standard Wood Box Liner
|Standard Wood Liner with a Dual Lid Wood Tool Box
This Tool Box Offers Ample Room Inside For All Your Tools
Plus It Comes With A sliding Tray for Those Bits and Pieces
|Standard Wood Liner With Removable 3 Drawer Set Up.
This 3 Drawer set up is built to fit between your wheel wells and can be built to suite the your needs. This will give you lots of storage room and also room on top for other items you need to carry even your quad, and if you need all of your box back that is no problem as it is removable
|Liner With Built In Drawers
Here is a liner built with bottom drawers that are built right into our wooden liner. This is usually built the height of the wheel well to still give you some box height on top of the drawers. Unlike the above drawer set up this is none removable unless you remove the boxliner also.
These can be built with an option of 3 drawers and have small compartments on the sides.
|Liner With Side Tool Boxes
Here is a wood liner that has tool boxes built down the sides. In the picture shown here the toolboxes are built as part of the liner. As an option the side tool boxes can be built separate of the liner though it is recommended that they be built as one piece for added strength. These toolboxes also come with pull out trays.
The tool boxes can be built to accommodate fire extinguishers.
Note Tie Downs Sold Separately.
|Liner With Side Boxes and Drawers
Here is a different version from the above liner. This liner has custom built side tool boxes with drawers at the end for easy access from the tail gate. Though this gives you optional storage space, it does limit your in box space. The bottom storage of this specific liner is only compartments, though drawers could be added.
|The Complete Storage Package.
This liner comes with both built in side toolboxes, and also a drawer set up. You have the option of having the drawer set up removable or built in.
|Instrumentation Boxes
This set up is quite popular with instrumentation businesses. It is built to go under a canopy that has side access doors. The cab end of the side boxes have front compartments that can be accessed through the side windows of the canopy. The middle drawer set up also contains a table that can be pulled out and set up for working on.
|Instrumentation Boxes Under Box Cover
These boxes are quite similar to above tool boxes, but are built to go under a box cover instead. The side boxes also come with front compartments which can be accessed with the cover open. As an option the drivers side top drawer can go all the way to the front and eliminate the front compartment. The middle drawers do not come with a table.
|Bottom and Side Drawers with compartment
This tool box set up is also designed to go underneath a canopy. It has 2 drawers on the drivers side with the top one being full length. The passenger side has open storage area along the top and also a cubby hole on the tail gate end. The drawer set in the middle can contain either 2 or 3 drawers which also run full length.
|Liner With Full Side Drawers
This toolbox set-up is built to go under a access cover. It has a standard wood liner and then 2 side drawers added on. The top drawers go all the way to the front and the bottom drawer(s) go to the back of the wheel well.
|Liner With Full Side Drawers and Bottom Drawers
This set up is the same as above with a additional 3 drawer box.

Last year a European friend of ours said she thought of my girlfriend and I when she was snorkeling in the Maldives especially when she saw the turtle. Snorkeling with turtles is one of my girlfriends passions. That comment was all my girlfriend had to hear and so she began to plan a trip for us to the Maldives. The Maldives is a country made up of 26 atolls which contain some 1200 islands located south of India and west of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean.
Another alternative is to book a cabin on one of the "Safari" boats that come in various sizes and itineraries some cater to divers others are more like small private yachts.
With the boat booked the problem of getting to the Maldives became our focus. We could fly to Europe and transfer to a flight to Male (pronounced "mal lee") the capital of the Maldives. The other alternative was to fly to Male through the mid east. The idea of taking a chance of flying through Europe in January sounded risky because it would not take much bad winter weather to shut things down as happened there recently. So we decided to try Qatar Airlines. They flew to Male via Doha, Qatar. This sounded like a better option than taking a chance transferring through Europe. I must say that our flight on Qatar was one of the most enjoyable airline experiences I've ever had. We flew business class as Capt. Mike's 6' 2" frame does not seem as comfortable in coach as it did in his younger days. Especially since the flight from Washington D.C. to Doha is a 14 plus hour trip and the airplanes seem to have shrunk in size since my younger days. Though I suspect I have probably have gotten bigger. The service on board the flight was great but, what made the trip a real pleasure was the seat on this Boeing 777 converted to a flat bed with enough room for even Captain Mike to stretch out and sleep comfortably. After boarding the plane at Dulles Airport outside Washington D.C. it was time for a cocktail, some wine with dinner and a melatonin before converting to seat to a flat bed for some sleep. I put on the noise cancelling headphones and put the soothing Albinoni: Oboe Concerti on a loop in the planes entertainment system and did not wake up until the plane was flying over Paris. We landed in Doha around sundown and were escorted through customs and immigration by Qatar Airlines representatives. What a pleasure that was too. If you are traveling through Doha on Qatar Airlines I recommend using their Al Maha service even if it is not included in your ticket price. After a 14 hour flight you'll thank Capt. Mike that you did. They escorted us all through immigration and customs to a car that took us to the Oryx Rotana hotel nearby the airport. We grabbed a quick dinner went to bed and awoke early the next morning to catch a flight to the Maldives. So come along as Capt. Mike takes you on a boating journey through the Maldives starting with the next post.

I've been traveling recently and it seems I missed two snow storms here on the Isle of Long. I just came back and unfortuntely did not miss yesterday's storm too. I've got around 18 inches of snow on top of the previous storms. Looks like Capt. Mike will be spending some time shoveling the driveway and walks. Does not look like I'll be heading to the boatyard anytime soon either. That's ok I've got enough projects and items on my todo list to keep me busy at home anyway. One of the things on the list was to drain the fuel out of the Honda 2000i generator that charges and sometimes powers the electric propulsion system on BIANKA. While flinging snow into big piles I had a Eureka moment. Since I need to drain the fuel tank why not run the Honda until the fuel runs out and use it to help put some heat into the house via the Holmes heater. Why not indeed:
I sometimes use this Holmes electric heater in the photo above when working in the garage on chilly days. The photo below gives you a little idea of the depth of the snow:
Because I was away during the previous two storms some of the snow from those previous storms became a compacted layer of ice. Meaning it's a lot more work to remove it from the walks. But, happily the Honda 2000i has downward facing louvers and a powerful fan that directs the waste heat downward. I put this to good use by using this waste heat to help melt the icy bottom layer compacted snow and ice on the walks. This photo shows about ten minutes worth of heat output:
Meanwhile back inside the house the 1100 watt Holmes heater was adding some BTU's into the house:WINTER by the Rolling Stones while drinking some nice hot cocoa or maybe a whole bunch of Goats Head Soup.

Victoria Falls. Now each post you read here takes Capt. Mike a little time to put together. Some of them can take a lot of time depending on how much text needs to written, photos gathered and edited etc... So if you would like to show some appreciation for the effort and have enjoyed, been amused or informed by a post here on THE BIANKA LOG BLOG over the years. I can think of no better way to show your thanks than to buy me a beer. You can do this electronically via the Internet by purchasing something through one of the AMAZON links on any of the posts here on the blog. Maybe you know someone who could use an AMAZON GIFT CARD. That works too. You do not have to buy what the various posts might link to just use one of the the links here on the blog get to the Amazon.com site and then make your purchase no matter what it is. I will get a small referral fee for the sale at no cost to you. If enough people purchase items via an AMAZON link from these pages I will soon have enough for a beer or two, a book for my Kindle or perhaps a tool for the boat. Rest assured I will raise the bottle, tip my cap and toast to all the BIANKA LOG BLOG readers who made a purchase and allowed Captain Mike to have a cold one from time to time. While I will probably not be relaxing behind the crocodile fence poolside on the Zambezi River it will be appreciated by Capt. Mike just the same.

You should have some way of making an attention getting sound on board your boat. Just shouting will "Hey You" probably won't be acceptable. I carry at least two sound signaling devices on board the first is a simple whistle which is used mostly for emergency type situations where I need to get another boaters attention. It does not have to be fancy or expensive. It just has to get someones attention. I keep it on a lanyard near the helm ready and available at a moments notice. I also have one attached to my life jacket in case I fall overboard. The nice thing about a whistle is you can keep it in your mouth and have both hands free to do what ever needs to be done to continue to control the boat, render assistance or tread water and still continue to sound whatever signal you need to. The other sound signal device I have on board is a Taylor Rechargeable Air Horn
I simply attach it to the air valve of the horn and keep it handy in the cockpit ready to use in conditions like when underway in a fog means I'll be sounding the horn more than usual. As shown in the photo below:
When the air runs out you simply turn on the compressor and refill it. The compressor also has a built in LED light on the side that can be operated separately or in combination with the pump:
To me it makes the most sense to have a unit like this on board. I also like that it I can still use the hand pump as a back up pump to refill it. As a cruising sailor I always like to have a back up.
Sure you can buy Air Horns with screw on replacement air canisters and you can keep buying replacement canisters. But, for me I like having an air horn that does not depend on me remembering to go to the marine store to make sure I have enough air canisters on board to make a signal for an extended period of time. Such as when one is sailing in fog. You refill the Taylor unit it by a common air valve on the bottom of the air horn.
Even though the unit comes with a hand pump that attaches to this valve as shown in the first photo. Pumping it up to full pressure using the hand pump can give one a pretty good work out. What I use instead is a compact 12 volt air compressor instead:
I simply attach it to the air valve of the horn and keep it handy in the cockpit ready to use in conditions like when underway in a fog means I'll be sounding the horn more than usual. As shown in the photo below:
NOTE: Make sure you do not pump up the Air Horn more than it's rated capacity.
When the air runs out you simply turn on the compressor and refill it. The compressor also has a built in LED light on the side that can be operated separately or in combination with the pump:

How about building a rocket stove? I first came upon the idea of building a rocket stove a few weeks ago looking at this post on BOAT BITS. Keep STOVE LAB 2010 in mind next time the propane runs out while cruising miles from nowhere or if you'd like to go ashore and make some hot tea while you are there walking about. On the other hand it might be good to know how to make one if you need it to survive too!
Hmmm maybe a Aviation Tin Snip set might be useful to on board after all! For a detailed tutorial on how to build a rocket stove take a look here:

I first picked up a copy of MANY CARGOES by W.W. Jacobs while staying overnight at the Tintswalo at Waterfall hotel in Johannesburg South Africa in 2009. I very much enjoyed the few stories I was able to read before I had to return it to the Hotel's bookcase. The book was first published in 1896. When I got my Kindle I found I was able to download MANY CARGOES (Annotated) for a very nominal fee. So I did. W.W. Jacobs father was a dock worker in the Wapping part of London. So it seems only natural that Jacobs writing would be influenced by the tales of Captains and crew of the boats that docked there. This book is full of such characters on the merchant boats that sailed the area over one hundred years ago. The stories should give any sailor a good chuckle or two in reading them. For example there is the tale of a Captain who fancies himself more of a doctor than Captain much to the dismay of the crew:
'He's half crazy on doctoring. We nearly had a mutiny aboard once owing to his wanting to hold a post-mortem on a man what fell from the mast-head Wanted to see what the poor feller died of.'" "I call it unwholesome,' ses the second mate very savage. 'He offered me a pill at breakfast the size of a small marble; quite put me off my feed, it did.'In another tale called IN MID ATLANTIC a Captain has a premonition:
"We was about ten days out, an' still slipping along in this spanking way, when all of a sudden things changed. I,was at the wheel with the second mate one night, when the skipper, whose name was Brown, came up from below in a uneasy sort o' fashion, and stood looking at us for some time without speaking. Then at last he sort o' makes up his mind, and ses he—"'Mr. McMillan, I've just had a most remarkable experience, an' I don't know what to do about it.'Well, the Captain does eventually steer the boat nor'-nor'-west against the heated objections of the First Mate. The ship does come upon a sailor in "distress" but, not because of the reason you may think. You'll have to read the story to find out why. The books title MANY CARGOES certainly describes the twenty one short stories that were full of Captains, crew and landlubbers who find themselves in humorous situations on board various boats and ships. Even though the book was published over one hundred years ago the stories still hold up today. Though Jacobs writing is very humorous in this collection he may be more famous for some of his more macabre stories like the Monkey's Paw. Still, I can recommend Many Cargoes as a book that would bring a lot of chuckles while reading it for most sailors.
'"Yes, sir?' ses Mr. McMillan.
"' Three times I 've been woke up this night by something shouting in my ear, "Steer nor'-nor'-west!"' ses the cap'n very solemnly, '" Steer nor'-nor'-west!" that's all it says. The first time I thought it was somebody got into my cabin skylarking, and I laid for 'em with a stick, but 1 've heard it three times, an' there's nothing there.'
"' It's a supernatural warning,' ses the second mate, who had a great uncle once who had the second sight, and was the most unpopular man of his family, because he always knew what to expect, and laid his plans according.
"' That's what I think,' ses the cap'n. 'There's some poor shipwrecked fellow creatures in distress.'

For the past several years I have been using the top of a five gallon bucket to cover the opening of the mast partner opening after I have unstepped the mast.
Unfortuntely, the cover I usually used which resided on the bucket I used a quick rinse after a swim got blown away this season during Hurricane Earl. What to do? I'm a "use what you got and you won't need what you've not" kind of fellow. So I took some used heat shrink I had on board and placed it over the mast partner hole. Then I took one of the straps that hold mast seal cover and placed it over the heat shrink material and tightened around the mast partner collar.
Seems to work pretty well and has stood up to 60 MPH winds in a recent blizzard. Problem solved and through the use of recylcled material to boot. Another win win situation.

It's a boat, it's a mini van, it's ELECTRIC!...
Well, here's one way to get away from paying docking and mooring fees. I wonder how long before you find one of these "parked" on the deck one of the mega yachts. Who needs a dingy!

My wonderful girlfriend gave me a KINDLE as a Christmas present. Although I guess this was partly done to also prevent me from downloading any more books on to the one she already owned. She really has no interest in being able to access a nautical dictionary on it. I've already mentioned how space on many sailboats is a precious resource and having to decide just which books to keep on board is sometimes a painful decision. Electronic book readers like the Kindle can help solve that dilemma. E-readers like the KINDLE can hold a thousands books (Amazon says up to 3,500). My girlfriend also has an Apple IPAD that she sometimes reads on too. But, in our experience the KINDLE seems better suited for reading on a boat. For one thing it is easier to read in sun than the back lit I Pad. The Kindle does not get washed out easily by strong sunlight making it perfect for afternoon reading in the cockpit or the beach. The KINDLE is also much lighter than the IPAD and less awkward to hold in bed. The battery charge on the KINDLE also lasts much longer than on an I PAD. So if you are trying to decide between and I PAD or KINDLE for reading on board. I give the edge to the KINDLE.

New Years Eve and the playing of Auld Lang Syne got me thinking of Robert Burns. Jesse Ferguson aka the Bard of Cornwall does a nice rendition of a Robert Burns poem that sounds like it would make for nice listening after dinner while kicking back in the cockpit to watch the stars at some nice little anchorage :

Orecchiette with Pancetta, Parmesan and Spinach
As much as I like to spend a leisurely afternoon cooking and take my time creating new dishes- more often than not, I am in a rush to get something ready for dinner. I try my best to make healthy meals with fresh and organic ingredients- even in a pinch. This is one of those meals. I got home tonight with no idea what I was going to have for dinner. I didn't want anything too heavy, or that too long to make (I don't like to eat too late) since I was home later than I'd planned.
I had these ingredients in my fridge just begging to be introduced. There are very few ingredients but the result is flavorful and balanced. This serves 2-4 depending on portion.
10 oz. of Whole Wheat Organic Orecchiette
3/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan
3 cloves of Garlic
5 oz. Organic Baby Spinach
6 oz. Pancetta (if you can't get Pancetta you can substitute bacon)
Tablespoon Butter
Olive Oil
Place water on stove to boil (make sure to salt the water) and add pasta. Cook until al dente.
Cut the pancetta into small pieces and cook over medium heat until crispy and browned. Remove from heat, drain fat and set aside.
In the same pan, add light layer of olive oil and briefly saute chopped garlic. Add spinach and cook until reduced.
For the Parmesan- I suggest at least 3/4 cup but you can adjust to taste. I like love Parmesan so I would suggest mixing most of the cheese into the pasta and leaving a bit to sprinkle on the top before serving/enjoying.
Drain water from pasta and return to pot. Add tablespoon (or so) of butter and mix well. Add in other ingredients, ending with the Parmesan.
****Just as a side note: This is the best pot for pasta. I use it for so many items that need to be drained. As silly as it sounds-cutting out the step of using a colander is a relief and although brief- a time saver. This pot is made by Bialetti.

In previous articles, I've discussed the bias against guns and armed self defense that is prevalent in the news media. A recent case from Chicago, in which an elderly woman used her handgun in self defense and was then smeared by the local media, highlights this problem:
The self defense shooting
68 year old Margaret Matthews, a widowed grandmother who lives alone on Chicago's South side, had been repeatedly harassed by two 12 and 13 year old boys in her neighborhood for the last year, according to news reports. The alleged harassment included destruction of her property by fire, repeated trespassing, etc. The boys returned to harass her again near the end of September, this time throwing bricks through her windows, according to Ms. Matthews and neighbors. She promptly called police, but no response was forthcoming, at which point the boys returned about an hour later, throwing more bricks, including one which hit the elderly woman in the chest, according to news reports. At this point she feared for her safety and fired what she intended to be a warning shot, which struck one of her attackers in the arm, police say. Ms. Matthews was taken into custody by police, and eventually released without charges, while the two boys were charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault to a senior citizen, according to news reports.
The news headlines
The Chicago Sun-Times ran a story entitled "Woman, 68, shoots boy who broke window, police say." While the story itself sets out a reasonably fair representation of the facts, the headline suggests that the elderly woman shot the boy to punish him because he broke her window, rather than in self defense to stop him from throwing more potentially-lethal bricks at her chest.
The Herald Sun, an Australian newspaper, picked up the story and ran the headline "Chicago grandma unapologetic after shooting 12-year-old boy." This story too laid out a fair representation of the facts, yet its headline suggests that the woman should be apologetic, and is misleading as to which party is at fault.
The Chicago Sun-Times also ran another story, this time entitled "Boy, 12, charged with assault after he was shot by woman, 68." Once more we have a factually accurate story, but a headline that leaves the reader sympathetic for the boy and wondering why the police and prosecutors are persecuting him.
In a perfect world, everyone would read and understand news stories in their entirety, negating any potential consequences from misleading headlines. However, we don't live in that perfect world. Instead, people often skim headlines and forgo the article all together, basing their opinions on just the headline. This can be the result of intentional skimming to save time, or unintentional skimming as one walks past a newspaper stand and has time to only read the headlines. The result is that a misleading headline can be read, internalized, and passed on to others, while the more-accurate article contents go unread. When the article in question is about an issue of minor important (such as the outcome of a pre-season sporting event), the harm is minor to non-existent. But when the article addresses something as important as guns and self defense, the harm can be drastic. I wonder how many Chicago residents who are anti-gun would hold that viewpoint if they weren't perpetually exposed to anti gun propaganda, while being shielded from the reports of successful armed self defense that occur daily.

Yakult Swallows: March 23, 2010
by Gen on Mar.23, 2010 @ 4:16 pm, under NPB, Spring Camp
=== 3/24/2010 12:20am JST
...The Swallows announced an event called 2010 Spring Day Game on Tuesday. The first 2,000 fans that show up to games against the Yokohama Bay Stars on 4/4 and 4/4 wearing something that looks like Spring will be treated to some sake (soup for those that can't drink sake). Winners of a raffle to be held after the game will also get a chance to step on the field and interact with the players. For more information, check out the official Swallows' website.
...Norichika Aoki will be making an appearance on Nippon TV's News Zero on Thursday.
...Premium fan club members (15 groups of two) could have a chance to watch the Swallows' pre-game practice from the dugout on 4/3 and 4/4.
=== 3/23/2010 4:16pm JST
...Norichika Aoki showed off his new cleats designed by Hitoshi Mimura (三村仁司). Aoki feels the new cleats will allow him win the stolen base crown in the CL this year. He has already had a chance to test them out during exhibition play.
Aoki wore cleats by ASICS last season and switched over to Adidas this year.
...Takahiro Araki could make the starting line-up on opening day due to lefty-righty match-ups. The Yomiuri Giants will be throwing Tetsuya Utsumi on opening day and the Swallows may decide to go with Araki.
If Araki does make the starting line-up, it'll be the first time a rookie has done so since 1970 when Kuniaki Nakamura got the opening day start (third base batting 7th).

Now "Crystallized" gets its own album. Melody's Echo Chamber will release a self-titled debut on September 11 via Fat Possum. Parker helped out with the full LP as well, recording and mixing it in Perth, Australia and at Prochet's grandparents' beach house in Cavaliére, France.

Lindsey Thorpe stepped into the ring Friday afternoon for her final throw needing the best throw of her career to get on the medal stand.
The Boyd senior rose to the occasion.
Thorpe landed a toss of 40-10.5 feet to move into third place and claim the bronze medal in the 3A shot put finals at the University Interscholastic League track field championships at Mike Myers Stadium at the University of Texas in Austin.
"My adrenaline was up and I was very nervous," Thorpe said. "All at the same time I was calm because I knew if I came out here and did what I know to do, I was going to medal."
The medal caps an impressive athletic career for the three-sport standout. She has signed to play basketball next year at Paris Junior College.
"It means so much. I can't express it. I don't have the words," Thorpe said. "I have all these other sports but to come out and do this means everything to me."
Whitewright's Zada Swoopes won the gold medal with a throw of 44-8. Clyde's Monica Driscoll took second with a toss of 41-8.25.
The 40-foot mark had been a long time goal for Thorpe.
"To get over that is great especially on my last throw of my last season at state," Thorpe said.
All six of Thorpe's throws topped 38 feet with four better than 39.
"I was so blessed that I've been consistent lately," Thorpe said. "We've fixed a lot of things. Being consistent takes a lot of pressure off. If you stay consistent, then you can do a little more and little bit more. That drives you."
Thorpe moved into position to medal with a toss of 39-9.25 on her fourth throw. She stayed there until the last round when Arp's Briana Medlock bested her with a throw of 39-9.5.
Thorpe stepped into the ring immediately after Medlock, knowing the task in front of her.
"I had to go get it," Thorpe said.
Thorpe moved quickly through the ring and let out the mighty heave.
"I threw it and turned around and was like 'OK'," Thorpe said. "I hopped out of the back of the ring. Coach [Eden Sultemeir] and I hugged. I knew that sealed me that spot. I teared up a bit."
3A girls shot put
1. Zada Swoopes, Whitewright, 44-8; 2. Monica Driscoll, Clyde, 41-8.25; 3. Lindsey Thorpe, Boyd, 40-10.5; 4. Briana Medlock, Arp, 39-9.5; 5. Jayla Hooper, West Rusk, 39-5; 6. Brittney Moorer, Cameron Yoe, 37-3.75

NEW PORT RICHEY — Sunday afternoon was proving to be fruitful for the volunteers working at Grand Gardens, a new community venture at Georgia Avenue and Grand Boulevard.
Yellow Scotch bonnet peppers and the more mild green, bell variety were ripening on the vine. Tomato plants were sprouting pale blooms. Winter greens that had been stunted by an unseasonably warm fall were finally perking up. And the herb garden, planted in vertical beds constructed from repurposed bricks that were removed when the street out front was repaved, was showing a bountiful return for those who had poured their sweat into the garden since breaking ground in September.
Gardening is part of the "after church" routine for Sylvia Spencer, 41, and her son, Houston, 13, who tend their own 9- by 12-foot plot and lend a hand weeding and watering the rest of the garden. Joining them each week is Spencer's sister, Reggie Gauvin, 43, an avid Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan who was busy adding compost to the beds while tilting an ear to the play-by-play on the radio.
"I love it," Gauvin said. "Anytime I'm outdoors, it's good. It's better than exercising. It is exercising."
Grand Gardens is the latest and one of three organic community gardens to crop up in New Port Richey.
It's an "epicenter" for what's sure to come, said garden facilitator Dell deChant, 61, a master instructor of religious studies at the University of South Florida and a former City Council member who heads up Friendship Farm & Fare and Ecology Florida, two of the organizations supporting Grand Gardens. "We've got gardens on Montana and Illinois (avenues), and now, we're here."
The project is supported by those, like deChant, who are immersed in a budding urban gardening movement. They have been fueled by the growing trend and the passage in 2013 of the city's urban agriculture ordinance, which is designed to promote the planting of gardens on vacant lots. Grass roots organizations backing the various efforts in the community also include the Nature Coast Real Food Project, the East Madison Growers Club and the Green Commerce Association. Local residents have helped out, as have students and faculty from Gulf Middle School, which recently sponsored a contest for students to design a sign for Grand Gardens.
While other community gardens are off the beaten path, this latest project, planted on a half-acre owned by business partners Steve DeMatos and Gary Gann, is a showpiece.
"We're on the main stretch, so it is something people are going to see when they're going downtown. It opens a whole other avenue for us," said Travis Morehead, 31, who serves as a garden facilitator and also advises others in planting organic gardens through the Nature Coast Real Food Project.
"I think it looks great; we couldn't be happier. Our employees come out here every day to check on it and see what's growing. And it's all organic. It doesn't get any better than that," said Gann, 65, who got the notion to offer up the empty lot that sits adjacent to his and Dematos' Creative Institute of Dental Arts after attending a permaculture presentation by local urban gardening guru Jim Kovaleski at a New Port Richey Rotary meeting.
Volunteers can partake in the harvest by committing to at least four hours of work each week. All are welcome to use garden tools stored nearby. A water source also is provided. Those wanting their own stake can donate $50 to $80 annually to tend their own plot, something that appealed to Steve and Edwina Wexler, even though they grow vegetables in their own yard.
"We plan to plant onions, beets and things we don't have room for," Edwina Wexler, 52, said. "It's well worth it, even if it just ends up going to the community."
Some of the harvest will likely end up in the bellies of others.
Overages from bumper crops will be sold at the Tasty Tuesdays fresh market held weekly at the New Port Richey Public Library or at Rose's Bistro Off Main. Profits will then go toward purchasing supplies for future garden beds that might be tended by volunteers such as Noreen Hilliard, 70, who stopped at Grand Gardens out of curiosity and ended up making a commitment to come back.
"I'm a farm girl from Indiana," said Hilliard, adding that she had been keeping an eye on the garden's progress from her nearby mobile home. "I want to experiment with my own little garden, but I can come here to weed and water. I can definitely do that and meet people, too. I want to know the people in my community and be involved."
That's the kind of buy-in those at the forefront of the community garden movement have been hoping for — one that will feed volunteers, offer organic produce at a reasonable cost and eventually grow to sustain others who might be living in urban or rural "food deserts" that don't have access to fresh produce.
"I think it's a wonderful way for the community to get together to learn about each other and what's going on in the city," said garden facilitator Deborah Jimenez, 52, a former elementary school teacher who got involved while embarking on an organic-based diet two years ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer. "It's also a way to educate others so they can learn how to produce their own food in their own yards. It's a way to help make ends meet."

I don't often dream of Ahnung. When she visits my dreams, however, they are powerful. Last night she appeared. She was laying down, resting, yet in a 'watching over' mode at the steps of what was an old historical structure, like those in Greece. Big boulders. She was resting at the top of the steps. In plain sight yet hidden. In my dream I wasn't looking for Ahnung, or anyone. I wasn't lost. I was simply leaving this structure. Something nudged me to look behind me. I saw Ahnung, resting, 'watching me'. I remember the calm that came over me. This connection; this deep connection of two souls. When she saw that I saw her she stood up and walked towards me. Slow, intentional pace in Ahnung fashion. She paused momentarily when she got to me, then she kept walking. Then in my dream, out of no where, Ishka appeared. She was next to Ahnung. I momentarily panicked ... i thought i have to get a leash on Ishka or she will get away. Ahnung kept walking. Calm. Ishka by her side. Their souls were also connected. White light and energy flowed over me as I watched them .. worry went away. I didn't need to worry about a leash, about anything. Ishka kept 'following' Ahnung ... she walked next to Ahnung, on her left side. She was a smaller version of Ahnung. They were now both asking me to follow them. In my dream it felt like we were One. Ahnung guiding us. There was an amazing calm, a trust ... in meditation this morning i reflected on this powerful dream ... there was no separation of this world and the spirit world ... Ahnung IS with us. She is always with us. And she clearly brought Ishkode ('fire') to keep the flame inside of me going.

text: April 05, 2014 Sergeant relishes last RA Author: By Maia Davis Source: RA Reporter When Vice President Al Gore came to an RA in the 1990s, Richard Lee, the longtime chief of sergeants for the RA, spotted a stray backpack in the assembly hall. He urged two Secret Service agents to check it out. "They looked at each other and said, 'I'm not going near that,'" Lee recalled. So Lee removed the backpack, which turned out to belong to a delegate. Lee and the 30 sergeants he works with take care of details others don't notice to keep RAs orderly. He has been chief of sergeants for at least 25 years. He thought he would stop in 2005 when he retired from 40 years of teaching on Long Island. Now, nine years later, this RA is his last. Lee will miss the work, he said, particularly the close camaraderie among the sergeants. "They're the nicest people in the world."

Facebook organ donor option could save millions of lives around the World.
It was recently hinted at and now Facebook have unveiled a new organ donor status option for Timeline, a move designed to help more than 114,000 people in the U.S. and millions more around the world who are waiting for a life-saving heart, kidney or liver transplant. Facebook users who are already organ donors can add that information to their Facebook Timelines, and those who are not organ donors can find links to official organ donation registries and instantly enroll. "We want to make it simple," said Zuckerberg. "You just put in the state or country that you are from so we can help link you to the official registries." All you need to do is go to your Timeline, click on "Life Event" and then "Health & Wellness." Then, you'll see the option for "Organ Donor." At that point, you can add when and where you registered and your personal story.
Organ Donation Awareness
"Many of those people — an average of 18 people per day –- will die waiting, because there simply aren't enough organ donors to meet the need," Facebook notes in a blog entry explaining the move. "Medical experts believe that broader awareness about organ donation could go a long way toward solving this crisis."
Zuckerberg says his friendship with Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs, who had received a liver transplant before he died last year, helped spur the idea. According to The New York Times, around 7,000 people die in the US each year while waiting for an organ transplant. This is the number that Facebook hopes to lower with its wide network of 161 million members in the US.

This is where I got my start, with advice from people smarter than me. Don't be afraid to ask for help with the most critical first step of your writing journey - the query. My comments appear in green.
Amanda lives in the most boring town in the world very tiny nitpick- I'm not sure if you want your hook to have the word boring in it. It's not necessarily representative of the beginning of the book, but pages where characters are sitting around being bored are in fact, boring. You might consider rephrasing—New Pines. She calls it Picket Town, though, because every single house is
But after an inspiring Social Studies lesson on famous explorers, Amanda investigates the forbidden woods by her house, yanking her friend Sam along for the mission. Much to their just go with surprise
Totally terrified now, Amanda and Sam put two and two together—aliens must have replaced all the adults in town and are testing the bacterium on the kids before using it for global domination. Amanda and Sam race to alert the authorities in the next town over, but the aliens always seem to be one step ahead. Couple that with the fact Amanda and Sam start exhibiting signs of the debilitating bacterial infection themselves, and they're running out of time not just to save themselves, but all of mankind. So.... where do the fences come into the plot? You gave your whole first para over to them - why?
This sounds totally fun and awesome. It's well-written and with a few nits is ready to go out, I think, if you can explain why the fences matter (if they do). If they don't, they shouldn't get the attention they do in the query. The only other thing I'll add is consider putting the MC's age in the first para so that the agent knows from from the first line if they're looking at MG or YA.

Andrew Jones' seminar at Greenbelt on "The Spirituality of blogging" has started quite a discussion on the textistential question of Why blog? Sarah and Phil have written some stuff around this and I've certainly been thinking about this in the last few days!
Andrew Jones in the seminar articulated some stuff that I "felt" about blogging but hadn't been able to express, I found it enormously encouraging! Within 24 hours however I'd also heard the question, "Aren't all bloggers essentially arrogant?" and been challenged on my blog becoming/sounding too self promotional.
I had a real crisis of confidence as I encountered a great picture of what Christian blogging should be BUT at the same time became more aware of the capacity for misunderstandings, ego and setting yourself up (or being seen to) as something more than you are. Ouch!
This has had me really wrestling with:
Why blog?
Why should I dare to blog?
Do I have the ability to communicate in text?
I'm still working through these. I had another look at what I'd said I was aiming at:
"promote debate about youth ministry, to encourage people involved in volunteer leadership, to meet other practicioners, to be a bridge between youth ministry and emerging Church, and to celebrate the humour of Life, youthwork and faith"
I also have been thinking about why I blog, it's a think-athon in progress but I reckon:
1. I need to write or talk in order to work out what I think. The blog serves this well and then opens those thoughts to accountability and discussion.
2. It's fun. I enjoy creating something.
3. It throws me into a community of people who care about young people.
4. I like having a place to share things that excite me or make me laugh.
5. It means that I record things I was never bothering to record before. I can now retrieve them when a link, story or contact is useful to someone else.
I am truly alarmed that I had either come across as or strayed into self promotion *embarrassed* I have become acutely aware that what is in my head as I write may come across differently to a reader.
Anyway, that's where I'm at right now! I am debating taking a month off blogging just to work through this stuff more fully and reflect on Tall Skinny's list of what spiritual blogging should be (below).
I have also thrown away my Youthblog T Shirts and have turned off the comments for this entry as this is not about me needing an ego boost.
"Blogging is a spiritual discipline because to blog is to find oneself in a place of:
1. Praise (public acknowledgement) – "publish glad tidings daily"
2. Accountability. (Eph. 5: 21 "Submit yourselves to one another", quote from Athanasias)
3. Vulnerability (Daniel's window)
4, Given-ness (Freely you have received, gift economy, Prov 11:24)
5. Creative Naming (Adam, Neighbors in Ruth)
6. Repentance (editing/deleting/changing our mind in new media)
7. Fellowship (hypertext linking, Koinonia)
8. Evangelism (storytelling, blogging from our lives)
9. Integrity (writing matches our speaking, design reflects reality)
10. Posterity. (store/guard what has been entrusted, writing history)
11. Watchfulness (watch and pray)"

What to Feed a Dog with Diabetes
Dogs suffering from diabetes need to have a special diet. Get up to speed on what that means.
One of our fabulous readers sent in a question for this week's blog post: What diet should dogs with diabetes be on, and what are the restrictions? To fully answer this question, we must first understand what diabetes is.
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that occurs when there is a problem with how the pancreas produces insulin. The pancreas is the organ in charge of converting food into fuel for the body's cells. Insulin is a hormone that helps in this process.
Type-1 diabetes is when your dog's body is not creating enough insulin. Type-2 diabetes is more common and is when the body is unable to use the insulin correctly. Either way, this disease means that the canine's body doesn't process sugars and carbohydrates as well as it should.
Changing Your Dog's Diet
By simply switching up your furry friend's eating habits, you'll be able to help keep the disease in check, or even help cure it. It's important to understand that Type-1 diabetes cannot be cured, but Type-2 diabetes can often be cured with weight loss. So one of the most important ways to either control diabetes or even get rid of the disease (and to help your pet live longer) is to watch his/her diet.
Once your pet has been diagnosed with diabetes, consult with your veterinarian about your animal's new eating plan. They will be able to give you the requirements that your pet needs and may have a brand recommendation, as well. Most veterinarians recommend switching the dog food to include a high protein and low carbohydrate mix. Also, switch from feeding your pooch one large meal a day to several small meals throughout the day.
Another way to help the condition is to improve your pet's exercise regimen. For more information on diabetes in dogs, visit the Pet Assure education webpage.
Thank you to our reader for that question! We welcome all questions, so please send them in.
