This blog is currently canvassing the Hall of Fame voters to find their opinions of Art Monk. David Climer is a "Probably Yes," so with 31 of 39 voters profiled, the current count is:
4 No; 13 Yes; 14 Unknown/Maybe
David Climer took over Jeff Legwold's spot on the Hall of Fame Voting committee just a couple years ago. Like Ira Kaufman, he seems to have come to the committee supporting Art Monk.
In an e-mail to me:
I have voted for him in the past. It depends on each year's class, though. I have not yet looked into this year's group so I have no conclusion on whom I will vote for this year.

Most of the guests had arrived and were getting into buzzy beat of Jen and Phil's Valentine's Day Eve party when the dull pounding started.
"What the hell s that?" Jen's friend Laurie said, raising her eyes to the ceiling.
Jen said, "Oh, that's old Manny Blue, the guy upstairs. Whenever we have some get together, or put on some music to…"
"Get busy," Phil jumped into the conversation, laughing.
"Phil! You know what I mean Laurie. Whenever we're what Manny thinks is loud, he bangs on his floor and we turn our music lower. Sometimes actually hear him saying 'Turn it down.' But not tonight. Tonight, we're here to celebrate Valentine's Day with our friends and if Manny has a problem, he can damn well come down to the party and tell us. Maybe loosen up the old crank."
Nevertheless, Phil turned the stereo down just a notch, which none of their friends seemed to notice, and the pounding slowed and then stopped. After that, the party continued until past midnight.
In the morning, as Jen and Phil picked their way through orange juice, leftover pizza and aspirin for breakfast, they heard it. Above their living room they heard a dull thump…thump..thump.
"What the fuh..?" Phil said.
"We're not playing the stereo and the TV's off, God knows," Jen said and rubbed her temples. "What's his problem?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to go up and settle this with the old bastard once and for all. Shoulda talked about this long ago, if he'd ever come out of his damn apartment."
Phil climbed the stairs two at a time to the floor above, with Jen slowly following behind him.
When they reached Old Man Blue's apartment door, they heard the sound of music coming from inside. An electric guitar picked single notes and a quavering voice sang, Without your love, I'm nothing at all. Like an empty hall, it's a lonely fall…
And then they heard thump…thump…thump and a low moaning and plaintive, "Turn it down, make it stop."
Phil knocked on the door and said, "Manny" Mr. Blue? It's Phil Hoover from down in 2B. We gotta talk."
From inside came the sound of a chorus singing, And the sun don't shine anymore. And the rains fall down on my door. Then, thump…thump, and "Please turn it down. Please go away."
"Phil, something's wrong in there," Jen said. "Try the door. Try the door."
Phil turned the knob and found it unlocked. When he opened the door, he saw the back of a sofa, an old stereo like his dad's beside it, a disc of black vinyl spinning away on its turntable. As they moved into the room, they saw a hand with bloody fingers lift the arm and place it back down onto the record with a scratchy buzz and thup.
Hurrying toward the sofa, they looked over its back and saw the cardboard sleeve that read Northern Lights – Southern Cross, a circle of letters, cards and old photos on the hardwood floor and, in the middle of it all, Manny Blue, kneeling, his forehead bleeding.
For the sixth time since the preceding night, a man named Rick Danko began to sing It makes no difference where I turn. I can't get over you and the flame still burns. It makes no difference, night or day. The shadow never seems to fade away… Manny Blue, a lonely man who once knew love, lowered his head to the floor one, two, three times. Then he whispered, "Please make it go away."
A very quickly penned Hesch-style Valentine's Day story. A poem is on the way…honest.

Administration disputes
A dispute may arise in the administration of a deceased person's estate. An estate is administered by an executor or administrator (these may both be referred to as personal representatives).
Administration disputes may relate to:
- Whether the personal representative of the estate is appropriate to act
- Which assets should be in the estate
- Whether the personal representative of the estate has caused a loss to the estate (perhaps by selling assets under their real value)
- How the estate assets should be distributed between beneficiaries
- The correct valuation of the estate assets
We act for executors, administrators, trustees and beneficiaries to help them resolve such disputes in a pragmatic and cost effective manner.
If you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact us or request a callback.

Thanks to the Letter Writers Alliance for pointing me to this wonderful post by Jane Davies, artist and owner of the Post Office in Rupert, VT. (Can you imagine owning a charming post office? I couldn't until I saw the photo of hers and now I want one! I have the land for it. Wonder what it would take to do that? Anyway, back to the subject at hand.) I am sending the post card in the photo to Jane in a few hours. (It's almost 4 a.m. here and I'm just starting to get sleepy. Dang, my warped body clock)! I hope you'll check out her blog posting and send her one too.
In fact, while you're at it, send me one also! Yes, I'm stealing Jane's idea and I hope it works! My post office is in danger of closing right now! We've been sending in surveys to answer the question of whether we want it to close or not. (NO, we don't want it to close!) There will be a town meeting about it in early March. I would love for them to see a great influx of mail between now and then! Will you help me save my post office? If you send me a postcard, I'll send you one. Jane is also sending return postcards to the first 200 people who send her one. I should be so lucky as to get 200 postcards to respond to! Just in case I do get that lucky, I promise to send a return postcard to the first 200 also and I'll do my very best to send one to each and every person who sends me one.
To guarantee that you get a return postcard, be sure that you print your return address clearly or use an address label! I'll also show the postcards here on my blog. So, cross your fingers and hope this works for both Jane and me!
Long Live the USPS and local Post Offices! Feel free to share this post!

Superheroes continue to be popular in the movie theaters. New releases featuring Thor, the Justice League, the Avengers, Ant-Man, Aquaman and the X-Men are all slated for release within the next two years. Although some superheroes have a dark side, most use their super powers to fight evil and bring hope and peace during difficult times.
For many small to midsize businesses (SMBs), the in-house "IT guy" seems like a superhero. He can bring PCs back from the dead, resolve network slowdowns and restore that critical file from backup in time for the boss' big presentation. Given the scope of his responsibilities and time and budget constraints, it seems like he can work wonders. As technology becomes more complex, however, his limitations begin to show.
It's virtually impossible for one person (guy or gal) to keep the IT environment up and running, handle end-user support requests, and stay abreast of all the latest technology. When you add security threats on top of all that, you may find that you're setting that person up for failure.
Any organization that depends on its computer systems should consider partnering with a managed services provider (MSP) to supplement in-house IT support. The MSP will have an entire team of people with expertise in specific technologies, along with state-of-the-art monitoring and management tools. They will be able to locate and resolve problems more quickly than one IT generalist can, and make sure all systems are kept up-to-date and secure.
The MSP will have well-established processes based upon industry best practices, and sufficient resources to ensure that those practices are followed every time. The in-house IT guy doesn't always have that luxury. When systems are down or security issues emerge, he's focused on the issue at hand. In the attempt to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, best practices sometimes go out the window.
The IT guy faces even greater challenges as the organization grows and there are more users, devices and data to manage. Not only is the IT environment larger, but it becomes more critical. An MSP can take up the slack, and ensure that the right resources are available when needed.
Despite all of his efforts, the IT guy may hold the organization back. Putting out fires and patching up systems doesn't contribute to business growth. However, your IT guy simply doesn't have the time to investigate new technology solutions, much less implement and manage them.
That's why more and more SMBs are adopting managed services, according to a new report from MarketsandMarkets. These organizations are looking to take advantage of advanced technologies, and are concerned about security threats. However, they typically don't have the in-house expertise needed to manage and secure the IT infrastructure, and lack the budget to hire experienced personnel.
Managed services provide assurance that the IT environment is being monitored and maintained by qualified experts. And when day-to-day operational tasks are outsourced to an MSP, the IT guy can devote more time to strategic initiatives that increase efficiency, enhance customer service and create competitive advantages.
SSD can help relieve the burden on your IT guy, and ensure that your technology supports your business. We'll develop a managed services program that's tailor-made for your needs and aligned with your budget and IT requirements.

Let's learn how to use a drain snake.
4 Important Factors to Be Considered
Because of a lot of varieties in the market customers become overwhelmed to select the best one that suits their need. And another problem is that the shopkeeper represents every product the best one. And if you ask them to show the best one the highest possibility is that they will show you the pricey one.
You know what, in a deep sense each product of the market is the best product but for different customers. So, which drain snake will be best for you, you have to take the decision on that matter.
After thorough and extensive research, we have selected some important factors that should be considered while buying a drain snake.
1. Cable Length
The length of the cable should be long enough to reach the potential clogs. You should determine the cable length depending on your living place.
For example, if you are living in a single storied building a drain snake with 25ft cable may be enough to meet your need but if your bathroom is on the second floor then 25ft cable is not enough, you should choose cable of minimum 50ft length.
2. Head Type
Head type of drain snakes can be categorized in many ways. Common types are described below-
- Screw or coil head: If your drain snake has a screw head you can pull the blockage out using it. If paper towels or similar products have made the blockage a drain snake with a screw head will come to the best use for you.
- Cutting head: If your drain snake has a cutting head, it will help you to remove the blockage by cutting the blockage away. This type of drain snake is preferred most by professional plumbers.
- Fixed Head: Some drain snakes come with a single fixed head that cannot be changed.
- Interchangeable Head: Some models are available with an interchangeable head that can be changed easily and no special tools are required for changing the head.
3. Diameter
The diameter of the drain snake should be smaller than the diameter of the pipe that is blocked. It is recommended by the experts to purchase a drain snake that is ½ to 1" smaller in diameter than the diameter of the pipe. If you are not sure about the diameter of the pipe, opt for the smaller size.
4. Auger Mechanism
Auger mechanism helps to turn the cable as it passes through the drain. So, while purchasing a drain snake check whether the auger mechanism is included with it or not.
If the auger mechanism is not included with the snake it will cause you to spend a lot of time trying to clear the clog.
Q. How could I know when to clean my drain?
If you notice slow draining, an overflowing toilet, water backing up and bad odor, it is time to make use of your drain snake i.e. it is time to clean the drain.
Q. Can drain snake damage my plumbing pipe?
If the size of the drain snake is not coherent with the size of your drain and during cleaning, if you push it hard it may cause damage to your plumbing pipe.
Q. How to unclog the stubborn clogs of my bathtub?
Ans: The best solution to unclog the stubborn clogs of your bathtub is to use a drain snake.
Q. Is it safe to use a chemical cleaner?
Ans: Chemical cleaner generates fume and pollutes the air. So, it is not safe to use a chemical cleaner. But, if you use a drain snake for cleaning the clogged plumber it will not cause anything that is harmful to the environment and health.
Q. How to verify the quality of a drain snake while purchasing?
The best way to verify the quality is the check the customer's review. Those who have already bought and used the product if they recommend the product as a good one, you can be sure that it is a good quality product.
Final Verdict
The drain is the go-to-tool for any drain cleaning or clogs cleaning task. It has various brands and sizes. These brands and sizes also come with different specifications. This makes it difficult to discover the best that will fit the kind of task at hand. The drain snake can be power cranked or hand cranked. The power cranked drains are mostly preferred due to its ease of use while the hand-cranked is powerful and can also be used but it would cause more fatigue than a power cranked drain snake. The Ryobi and DeWalt are the top brands in the list that make cordless snake drains. They are easier to handle than others, though it might require spending extra.
The DEWALT DCD200D1 20V MAX XR Brushless Drain Snake Kit is the best option to go with on the list if you do not care about the cost. It is a next-generation drain snake that has a cutting-edge technology like the brushless drill and 3 modes LED lights. The Dewalt 20v brushless drain snake kit has the complete kit to go with. It is the recommended option for any handyman or homeowner. But if you think you can't fork out about $300 or more. The Ryobi P4001 One+ 18V Lithium-Ion All-In-One 25 Foot Drain Auger for Sinks or Toilets, is the option to go with, though you would also spend more money to buy the charger and the battery separately.
To deal with the toilet, the kitchen sink, the bathtub sink, slop sink etc. The drain snake would be the go-to tool. Though there are lots of brands, sizes, and specifications available in the market, they can all be used for the same use but with different effects and results. That is why we recommend that you first examine the kind of stoppage before getting any of these drain snakes. If it is a small drain line, then the toilet augers will serve well since they can unclog the toilets or any type of pipes effectively. They enhance sanitation when they are used to remove stubborn clogs.
We have talked in details about how to use a drain snake both power cranked and hand cranked. Take a look.
Their other advantage is their affordability. Instead of calling a plumber, this tool will help you out. While the toilet augers will do for the small drain lines, it will not be recommended for large pipes or big drain lines like the pipes that connect the house to the sewer.
Another specification to look out for when purchasing any drain snake is the mode of the crank. The best drain snake is always power cranked. Other ones that are hand-cranked can also be beneficial because they have a lower price. But they do offer the same efficiency of the power cranked drain snake and are generally shorter for use in small pipes. The power cranked drain snake is easier to use and can handle any size or pipe. But the power cranked drain snake comes with a higher cost and you may be required to buy a charger and battery sometimes.
Overall, always buy a drain snake that is built to fit into the size of the drain that is to be clogged. As it seems, a snake drain that is too big won't do the job properly and can even damage the drain pipes but a small snake would move freely inside the pipe without causing harm.

Emerging Markets: Turkey Currency Outlook Deteriorates As Inflation Forecasts Raised
By Win Thin
The Turkish lira is under pressure today, and is also due to some market concerns with central bank credibility. The bank today revised upwards its inflation forecasts for 2011 from 5.9% to 6.9%, citing higher oil prices and taxes. Governor Basci said that the forecast assumes "limited tightening" in H2 as well as loan growth of 20-25%. If the inflation target is 5.5%, why then should tightening be limited? This is very similar to what's happening in Brazil, with Turkey continuing to rely on unorthodox policies for a hoped for (but so far unseen) impact on inflation. The 2012 forecast was raised from 5.1% to 5.2%. Credit growth is expected to slow in Q2, while inflation will probably accelerate in Q2, decelerate in Q3, and then accelerate in Q4, Basci said. By continuing to focus on credit growth, it appears that the central bank is no closer to abandoning its experiment in unconventional policy. As such, we expect continued tightening via reserve requirement hikes rather than rate hikes.
Like in Brazil, Turkey macroprudential policies simply have not worked. Turkey policy-makers are focusing on two things, loans and the current account. Interestingly, inflation has eased to 4% y/y in March, due largely to base effects. PPI rose over 10% y/y in Q1 and so pipeline pressures point to higher inflation ahead, as Basci seems to be warning. Consumer loans grew 40% y/y in March, up from 35% y/y in November, while the current account gap has continued to widen. In February, the 12-month deficit hit a high of -$54.9 bln and with imports growing 45-50% y/y so far in Q1, shows no sign of narrowing. Unlike Brazil, however, Turkey is seeing very little in the way of FDI, and so the 12-month total only covers about 16% of the current account gap. Brazil enjoys total coverage, and so Turkey is much more vulnerable to sudden outflows of hot money financing. QTD and YTD, TRY near the bottom of the EM league table, and given Turkey's continued reliance on unconventional policies, we believe TRY is likely to continue lagging the wider EM rally.

Oatmeal with Shiitakes, Black Garlic, and Miso
Happy Monday. How's your week starting off? I'm so glad that the conference I was at last week only went through Saturday, as I definitely needed Sunday to recharge and get set up for the week ahead. This one is packed.
It's amazing what two glasses of wine can do to me now. Sunday morning I needed a few remedies…
Since I had plans for some late-morning Zumba, I didn't want to eat too early and be starving in the middle of class, but I also didn't want to feel weighed down by a huge breakfast. So, after running some errands and doing a little food prep for the week, I made a new savory oatmeal concoction that definitely bears repeating. It was the perfect mix of proteins, fats, and carbs to get me through an hour of dancing/laughing at myself.
Black garlic is a fermented product that's very mild, smooth, and a little sweet. You can eat it spread on bread, blended into sauces, or cooked into all kinds of dishes. It's a great way to bring together sweet, salty, and umami flavors. I just get mine at Trader Joe's but if you can't find it near you, just sub roasted roasted garlic.
For the Black Garlic-Miso Paste:
- I head black garlic
- 1 tsp white or red miso paste
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- a few drops water to thin, if needed
For the Mushrooms:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 4 oz container sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
For the Oats
- 1/3 c rolled oats
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- a dash of sea salt (optional)
- 2/3 c water
- Whisk together black garlic, miso, sesame oil and water or process in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a sauce pan or skillet. Sauté shallot until translucent. Add scallion and cook until soft.
- Add shiitakes. Cook until soft.
- Meanwhile, cook the oats, flax, sea salt, and water either in the microwave (~2 minutes) or on the stove until liquid is absorbed.
- Stir a spoonful of the black garlic paste into the oats until incorporated. Top with half the mushroom mixture and a poached egg.
What does two glasses of wine do to you? Any favorite breakfasts lately?
Sweet and Savory Tofu
So, my meat-loving friends out there, the title of this post probably just made you roll your eyes, huh? I know because I totally rolled my eyes at myself while typing it. I'll be honest, making tofu sound appealing, especially when all you have to work with is numbers and letters, is no easy feat. Sucking as much as I do at food photography certainly doesn't help. However, tofu happens to have the potential to be delicious—and healthy, offering up protein and calcium while also being low in fat (saturated fat, in particular).
For those of us born with an "earthy" tooth (which sometimes goes hand-in-hand with the mushroom/umami tooth), it seems perfectly logical to crave tofu on occasion. Like mushrooms, tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you cook and serve it with, so it helps to keep that in mind when figuring out what the hell to do with it.
While cleaning out old photo files, I found myself salivating over some of the tofu dishes I'd prepared in years past. Consider the source, obviously. As a flexitarian-friendly dietitian, I'm probably more likely than some to go, "I want to put that weird, white block of soy in my mouth," but hey.
- 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 block extra-firm tofu
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap tofu in a small towel (paper towel is fine) to squeeze out excess moisture. Cut into cubes and place in a medium-sized bowl.
- Whisk together molasses, olive oil, soy sauce,and spices. Pour over tofu and toss well.
- Spread tofu on a foil-lined baking sheet and cook until crispy on the outside, about 40-45 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Enjoy hot or cold with whatever you damn well please.
Do you like tofu? If yes, what's your favorite way to eat it?
Plum-Tahini Oatmeal
Good morning! How's your week so far? After spending yesterday working on a writing project, catching up on laundry, and taking care of some other day-to-day things, I'm heading into the hospital for a few hours to finish up some training and then heading out to NJ to give a presentation on nutrition and skin health as part of a fun fitness event! Typical of me, I'm more nervous about what to wear than about the presentation itself—I'm of those weirdos who likes speaking in front of big groups, even though I do blush if called on in cooking classes and the like.
Lately, I've really been digging plum oatmeal topped with tahini and honey. In the past year, this has become one of those breakfasts that I make so often, I kind of assumed I had written a recipe post. Not so, apparently. Let's remedy that.
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1 plum, sliced and chopped into small pieces
- a few raisins (optional)
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- 1 4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 c liquid egg whites or 1 egg (optional)
- 1/2 tbsp tahini
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp honey (or bee pollen)
- Bring water to a boil. Stir in oats, flax, plum, raisins and spices. Lower heat.
- Cook ~5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- When water is almost all absorbed, add the egg whites, if using, and whisk 2-3 minutes.
- Cover pot with a lid for ~5 minutes.
- Enjoy hot and topped with tahini and honey or bee pollen.
What's one of your favorite breakfasts?
Sausage and Kale Soup and Why I need a new pasta shape
One of my favorite jokes of all time goes something like this:
Two sausages were sizzling in a frying pan. One sausage said to the other, "It sure is hot in here!"
The other sausage said, "Oh my god, it's a talking sausage!"
No matter how old I get, the word "sausage" will probably always make me giggle a little bit—for obvious reasons. There's really no way around it. I have accepted this about myself.
I first got the idea for this soup from a recipe I saw on How Sweet It Is, which calls for spicy Italian sausage and whole wheat orecchiette. However, instead of pasta, I decided to use up some brown rice that had been in my cupboard for well over a year.
I actually decided to throw out the orecchiette in there because it finally dawned on me that almost all of the not very many relationships I've had in the past few years ended within days of sharing a meal that contained said orecchiette, and well, f*** that. It's 2014. I need a new pasta shape in my life. Energetically speaking, I'm sure there's something not good about eating pasta that looks like ears, maybe to do with hearing/listening/being heard. I don't know—I'm over-thinking this, clearly. Let's just say I'm ready to actually learn from my mistakes by not making bad-karma-pasta anymore. Maybe I also should enforce a new rule about not making pasta too early in a relationship, since the one that did not end with orecchiette ended with ravioli.
But back to the soup…To up the fiber content, I added some green lentils and used less sausage. Speaking of sausage (let's see how many times I can say "sausage" in one post), I went with a couple Trader Joe's roasted garlic chicken sausages for this recipe, but you can use whatever kind you want. Turkey sausage, beef sausage, pork sausage, mystery sausage…
You can also play around with using different greens if kale's not your thing or if you got spooked by that article you read a few weeks ago.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 leek, sliced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked lentils
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 2 cooked sausages, cut into half-moon shapes
- ~8 cups water or broth
- 1 bunch kale or other greens
- Heat oil in a large stock pot. add garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and leek. Cook until onion is translucent and veggies begin to soften.
- Stir in spices, lentils, rice, and sausage. Cook another minute or two before adding liquid.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in kale. Allow to simmer ~30 minutes.
What's your favorite joke? Does "sausage" make you giggle? Which pasta shape should I try next?
Chickpeas, Mushrooms, and Kale in Spicy Tomato Sauce
You can tell you're reached "a certain age" (which has nothing to do with numbers) when you go to parties and all anyone talks about is food and cooking. To be fair, this party in question was a cookie exchange hosted by someone I went to grad school and did my dietetic internship with, and the guest list included some of my other friends from school, so of course RDs are gonna talk food together.
Anyway, after hearing my friend Natalie's plans for a spicy stew she was making for dinner that night, I went home and whipped up something similar using what I had lying around. It's kind of similar to my favorite post-Christmas detox dish, but soupier and spicier—perfect for a cold January night!
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 shallot, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 bunch kale and/or spinach
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 15-oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 15-oz can chickpeas, rinsed
- red pepper flakes to taste
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ¼ tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander
- salt and pepper to taste
1.Heat oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and shallot. Sauté until fragrant and shallot is translucent.
2.Add greens and cook until they start to wilt. Add spices.
3.Add mushrooms. Cook until they begin to soften. Add tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Allow to simmer ~5 minutes.
4.Add chickpeas. Mix everything well and cook until greens are wilted and chickpeas are nice and hot. If desired, cook on low until sauce has thickened up.
Red Lentil Chili
Yesterday was cold.
I had the day off from my clinical job, but I had some other work to do that was going to require some time in front of the computer. Because I had day-off brain, I kept finding things to do instead of sitting down to my to-do-list items. Naturally, one of those things was to make soup.
I was thinking about making red lentil soup from this recipe, but I was also sort of in the mood for chili. So…this happened. Because red lentils cook so quickly, this comes together in no time at all. It's the perfect weeknight dinner for the wintertime.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 medium butternut squash, cut into small cubes
- 1 c red lentils, dry
- 4-5 cups water or veggie broth
- 1 24-oz can crushed or diced tomatoes (I used fire-roasted)
- 3 c spinach, fresh or thawed from frozen
- Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.
- Add onion, garlic, and celery. Cook a few minutes until fragrant and onion begins to turn translucent. Add spices and cook another 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add squash and lentils. Toss well. Cook a few minutes to coat and then add water. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat and allow to simmer 10 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and spinach. Simmer another 15-20 minutes.
Enjoy hot topped with a little goat cheese—or, you know, slightly more traditional chili toppings. This would also be great over brown rice or quinoa.
What's one of your favorite cold-weather weeknight meals?
Gnocchi with Brussels and Bacon
So. I know I was just talking about Jay Z and Beyonce's Vegan Journey the other day (PS—don't know why I keep calling it that), but because I am on no such quest, here's a recipe with bacon in it. And cheese.
I feel like gnocchi gets a bad reputation for being a calorie bomb because it's so often bathed in cream sauce and oil. Though I wouldn't call it objectively healthy, it's not really any better or worse than any white pasta—a 3/4 cup serving has around 200 calories and 3 grams of protein with a lot of carbs but negligible fiber. It really depends on preparation. It can be dressed up in an angel costume just as easily as in a devil costume, so why not go the "good" route? Or at least err on the side of lesser evil.
You don't have to break the calorie bank with this recipe (Wow, did I really just say "calorie bank?" And "calorie bomb?" Don't worry—my blog hasn't been hacked by a fembot dietitian; I'm just a little under-caffeinated), but you still get lots of flavor for your nutrition buck (really, I swear—I just need some coffee). Using very little oil, swapping in uncured bacon for the nitrate-happy stuff, and finishing it off with just a dash of truffle salt and a sprinkle of grated pecorino or parm makes this a delicious comfort without the food-guilt-coma.
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 ounces shaved Brussels sprouts
- 2 slices uncured bacon, cooked
- 1.5 c gnocchi
- 1 tbsp grated pecorino or parmesan cheese
- Truffle salt to taste
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add gnocchi to boiling water and cook 4-5 minutes or until gnocchi float to surface. Strain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Sauté shallot and garlic 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add brussels sprouts.
- Cook until sprouts are a bright green and softened. Add bacon and gnocchi. Toss well to coat. Season with a dash of truffle salt and toss again.
- Serve hot with 1-2 tsp grated cheese on top.
For a vegetarian version, use tempeh bacon. To make this vegan, you can try adding nutritional yeast instead of cheese, though I can't vouch for the flavor combination.
Here's another of favorite non-vegetarian gnocchi dish…

StarkMHAR, Sisters of Charity Foundation team up to recruit and retain workers for local agencies.
CANTON Getting a master's degree in social work has been Cassandra Horsley's goal since she started working for Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health years ago.
Horsley is a case manager, and ultimately, she wants to work with children who have substance use disorders.
But in addition to a demanding job, Horsley, 32, has three children, and she didn't know if she could sustain long commutes to class from her home in Pike Township.
"I kept putting it off because I couldn't find something that worked for me," she said.
Then Horsley heard of a new master's of social work program developed by the University of Akron and Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery. She could get her graduate degree by taking classes two nights a week in Canton and continue to work at Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health.
"It was a lot easier for my schedule," Horsley said. She starts class in August.
Recruiting and retaining
The master's of social work program is one way StarkMHAR is working with area universities and the Sisters of Charity Foundation to grow and retain the pool of local behavioral-health workers. The career field is a challenging one.
"They're dealing with folks who have a mental-health or addiction issues, they're working long, hard hours, they're dealing with stressful situations," said StarkMHAR Executive Director John Aller. "We're not only looking to bring more people into the field, but we're also working with our agencies on how to retain people once they become employed."
For behavioral-health agencies, the rules for how Medicaid and Medicare reimburse for services put pressure on the agencies to have workers with the right credentials.
And local efforts to address the opioid epidemic and youth suicide have increased demand for behavioral health services.
For example, Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health has seen a 20% increase in clients, and more demand for school-based counselors, said agency CEO Joe French.
When Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health looks for new hires, it competes for them against mental-health and addiction agencies throughout Northeast Ohio.
"There is great competition," French said. "Some people are looking for time off, some are looking for the pay, so we're working very hard to make ourselves as desirable as we possibly can."
MSW program
The first workforce program to launch brings the University of Akron's masters of social work program to Canton.
Students in the graduate program will meet twice a week at StarkMHAR's downtown office and do internships at the local agencies where they already work. Full-time students qualify for a $750 stipend per semester.
Jeannie Cool, StarkMHAR's manager of programs & evaluation, said the deadline to apply through the University of Akron was June 1.
StarkMHAR is talking with Kent State and Walsh universities to develop a similar program for advanced practice nurses, but is not yet taking applications.
StarkMHAR also is bringing in a consultant to help agencies find the best ways to keep their workers, and plans to help local agencies strengthen their fiscal staff, so they can bill more effectively.
Across the clinical and fiscal projects projects, StarkMHAR is working about a dozen local agencies that receive StarkMHAR funding, Aller said.
The whole workforce initiative is funded by $150,000 from StarkMHAR and another $300,000 from the Sisters of Charity Foundation.
Foundation President Joni Close said the need to recruit and retain workers became apparent through the foundation's work on initiatives to address opioids and suicide.
"This is a workforce that is underpaid and over-stressed," Close said. "So, it made sense to really think about how we could attract people and retain people."
For more information about the master's of social work program, contact StarkMHAR Manager of Programs & Evaluation Jeannie Cool at email@example.com.

'Ready, steady, chaos!' Newspapers react to PM setting snap election date
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's threat to hold a general election in the next six weeks has dominated Tuesday morning's newspapers.
The Tory leader was featured on most front pages after indicating on Monday he was prepared to hold a public vote to select a new leader of the country if rebel MPs helped pass legislation to block a no-deal Brexit.
Mr Johnson said on Monday "I don't want an election, you don't want an election" but moments later a senior Government source said any bid to "wreck" the UK's Brexit negotiating position would prompt a motion for an early vote.
The source added Mr Johnson would request a general election on October 14 if the move was successful.

The Conduit Method: The Best Way To Make Money Online
Article marketing has become an invaluable weapon for people who desire to make money online. People are used to writing articles as the primary technique in internet marketing. Writing articles and publishing the same in the many article directories on the web, after all, is a great way to help brand one's self or one's business, garner direct traffic via the people who manage to read the content, and spread back links to one's website via an open republication policy.
And article marketing is highly effective indeed. No one has ever claimed that it doesn't work.
However, there is one method that is even more powerful than article marketing. The best way to introduce this highly potent way to make money online is to first discuss the limitations of article marketing as a profitable strategy.
You see, for article marketing to work to its fullest potentials, you will need the perfect article – meaning, an article that can capture the reader's attention and never let go, an article that will make it readers fear a particular need, an article that will make people desperate – or desire – a particular solution. The known purpose of an article is to inform. The marketing purpose of an article is to entice and pre-sell. It is the latter that is quite difficult to accomplish.
Enter the conduit method, a technique invented by renowned internet marketer Chris Rempel. The conduit method is also involved with the creation of content – like articles – however, it will not target people at random.
The conduit method will target people who are already at the verge of buying a product.
How can this be done?
Well, this particular way to make money online involves creating reviews of products you will be promoting. Signed up as an affiliate for Brand X? Write a review – and honest, objective review – about Brand X and embed your affiliate link all throughout the content.
Why reviews?
Basically, people who are on the fence with regards to a particular product are almost at the point of buying it… they just need a little more push. Reviews will give them the justification they need. And once they finally decide on buying the product, the conduit method will ensure that your affiliate link will be there for the reader to use.
So, instead of writing articles that inform and pre-sell, the conduit method to make money online will require you to write reviews instead. Your reviews should contain the following:
- Details about the product (name, manufacturer, date of release, version reviewed, etc.).
- Technical specs of the product.
- The review proper. Preferably, this should be presented in a "pros vs. cons" manner.
- Snippets of what people say about the product. You can use excerpts from existing reviews on the net.
- Conclusion.
The review will contain everything that the reader wants to know before he will make a purchase, even if you don't intend to inform him of such. By merely writing the review using the pattern discussed above, you will be aiding people in justifying their decisions.
Here lies the beauty of the conduit method as a way to make money online.
So, next time you'll plan on writing some articles, think about this technique to make money online and ask yourself: "wouldn't I be better off with reviews?"

6 Most Important Things in Business Today
The president got China to cut a key tariff. According to Reuters:
U.S. President Donald Trump said China had agreed to cut import tariffs on American-made cars, buoying shares in BMW (BMWG.DE) and Daimler AG (DAIGn.DE) who manufacture in the United States for export to the world's biggest auto market
Shares of Chinese car dealers also perked up on hopes that such a move could revitalize the domestic auto market that is poised for its first annual sales contraction in decades amid cooling economic growth and a debilitating U.S.-China trade war.
Qatar will exit the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. According to Reuters:
Qatar said on Monday it was quitting OPEC from January 2019 but would attend the oil exporter group's meeting this week, saying the decision meant Doha could focus on cementing its position as the world's top liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter.
Doha, one of the smallest oil producers in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, is locked in a diplomatic dispute with the group's de facto leader Saudi Arabia but said the move to leave OPEC was not driven by politics.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) may try its automated checkout in large stores. According to The Wall Street Journal:
Amazon.com Inc. is testing its cashierless checkout technology for bigger stores, according to people familiar with the matter. If successful, the strategy would further challenge brick-and-mortar retailers racing to make their businesses more convenient.
The online retail giant is experimenting with the technology in Seattle in a larger space formatted like a big store, the people said. The systems track what shoppers pick from shelves and charges them automatically when they leave a store. Although the technology functions well in its current small-store format, it is harder to use it in bigger spaces with higher ceilings and more products, one of the people said, meaning it could take time to roll out the systems at more larger stores.
The president said he may kill NAFTA. According to The Wall Street Journal:
President Trump said he will soon begin the process of terminating the North American Free Trade Agreement to pave the way for congressional consideration of the reworked agreement known as the USMCA.
Termination would start a six-month withdrawal period and give lawmakers a deadline to choose between the new deal or nothing, the president told reporters Saturday aboard Air Force One. His comments came while flying back from Argentina after the Group of 20 summit and a Saturday dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping over trade issues.
Global markets rallied due to a trade deal between the United States and China. Dow futures were up 500 points at 5 a.m. EST.
Canada cut oil output, sending crude soaring. According to Bloomberg:
Oil was jolted higher by efforts across the globe to support prices as Saudi Arabia and Russia extended their pact to manage the market and Canada's largest producing province ordered unprecedented output curbs. Futures shrugged off Qatar's departure from OPEC.
After their worst month in a decade, prices in New York and London advanced more than 5 percent on Monday. Although Moscow and Riyadh have yet to confirm any fresh cuts, the agreement by the Russian and Saudi leaders over the weekend opens the door for a deal at the OPEC meeting this week in Vienna. Alberta's decision to curtail production by 325,000 barrels a day put a rocket under oil's rally, which largely ignored Qatar's surprise announcement that it will leaved the producer group to focus on gas.

This month, 100 patent and trademark examiners will get Pentium PCs with which they can search documents and images at their own desktops.
It's a big step in the Patent and Trademark Office's longstanding attempt to create an efficient electronic search environment. By the end of the year, about 700 examiners will work at 133-MHz Pentium PCs with at least 64M of RAM and 21-inch monitors, all running Microsoft Windows NT.
The remaining examiners will have the NT workstations by 1997, said Linda Burek, director of the PTO's Administration and Management Systems Division. She said the agency has not decided how it will buy the computers, or from whom.
At present, most of the 2,179 examiners rifle through papers, sift through books and search different databases for information on existing patents. Sometimes a search sends them to a different building, Burek said.
Those who can do on-line searches at their desks cannot get a clear enough image of a proposed design. They must go to 1980s-era, dual-display workstations that show text on one screen and images on the other.
All that will end when they have new desktop computers running Microsoft Word for Windows, backed up by Unix servers running Wang Laboratories' OpenImage software under Hewlett-Packard HP-UX. The workers can view files and images on the same screen.
"This is the first time any of the prototype ideas we've had is going out to the field in a production kind of environment," Burek said. "Our examiners are going to see how it works and what needs improving."
Systems integrator PRC Inc. of McLean, Va., the agency's longtime automation contractor, helped to develop the prototypes. But PRC's role in the delivery and installation of PCs for examiners has not been established, she said.
If the trial is successful, PTO will move to Windows NT on all desktop workstations, Burek said. The agency expects to upgrade its current network with high-speed, asynchronous transfer mode switching devices and 100-megabit/sec Ethernet connections from workstations to servers.
PTO also will move away from its custom-built trademark search software to commercial search products.
The agency has had a rough time eliminating paper from its work processes. Plagued by procurement problems with the Automated Patent System design, PTO also had to deal with such infrastructure snags as old wiring as it struggled to move from a closed architecture to a more open one.
"We're growing at an incredible rate," Burek said. "We expect to have 2,400 examiners by year's end. Patent applications have been increasing steadily."
To ease the search burden for foreign patents, most examiners will get Internet access by the end of the year. Now only 1,200 users have Internet access. That number will rise to 6,000 by September, said James Napper, PTO's senior computer specialist.
The agency is fine-tuning an electronic filing system that will put patent applications on line and enable examiners to research U.S. and foreign patents without leaving their desks or touching a piece of paper.
"It's all coming along," Burek said.
The current 5 terabytes of patent and trademark image data is expected to grow to 15 terabytes by the close of the century. Last year, PTO granted 114,241 patents and registered 75,372 trademarks. Administrative system transactions averaged about 5 million a month, according to a PTO report.
"We're in three modes right now," Napper said. "We're moving from Novell [NetWare] into a more open environment with TCP/IP and are converting over to Windows NT. The HP [server] environment will replace the old technology, and I'd say that one to two years down the road we will be a 95 percent NT shop, with some Unix still there."

Expert and family-based medicine
Through traditional medicine, human beings seek out a form of control over their lives and to affirm themselves in their environment.
Furthermore, it can be subdivided into family-based and expert medicine: family-based medicine refers to the recipes that are accessible to all and offer rapid treatment of mild afflictions; expert medicine designates the broad field of highly complex recipes that are used to treat serious illnesses.
Senegalese traditional medicine as it is practiced today
The lucidity of traditional medicine as it is practiced today proves that it is not, as we are led to believe, an esoteric concept that is locked in space and time. The role of the practitioner has broken up into several professions, principally due to demographic factors that weighted down the workload (multiple consultations, increased need for plants). This role, which at first brought together pharmacist (finding plants and developing treatments) and doctor (consultation and prescription of medication) is now in the processes of giving rise to new specializations, such as that of the herbalist.
As Yvette Parès had recommended, this development should be taken into account by world nations, to say nothing of the need to aid the integration of traditional medicine into the public health system at large. This is a necessary step to secure the practice of traditional medicine, which statistics show is in use by 85% of the world's population. Furthermore, even more so than in "modern" medicine, self-prescription and the usurpation of tasks constitute real menaces.
The example set by the Hôpital Traditionnel de Keur Massar
The hospital's reception directs patents to a practitioner — each of whom has a specialization, from psychiatry to dermatology — according to their condition. Following his or her consultation, the patient can continue to the pharmacy, which distributes medicine that is prepared according to the recipes of Yvette Parès, the founder of the hospital. The entire spectrum of these traditional treatments were created in the spirit and the letter of age-old African traditional medicine. Moreover, these plant-based treatments contributed to the construction of the foundation of the Africa's pharmaceutical independence.
At Keur Massar plants are harvested, cut, dried, and then reduced into powders that are stored in the laboratory. They come from three sources: the hospital's botanical garden, the marketplace, and the neighboring orchards and wilderness. Using these plants, the hospital produces over forty medications that are often made using complex recipes, some of which are available in a variety of forms: powders, teas, syrups, ointments…

Our sailing trip got off to a windy start but then the weather calmed as we continued to explore and enjoy the islands in the southern Sea of Cortez. We decided if a norther, or strong wind, is in the forecast, we'll head to La Paz or Puerto Escondido for shelter. We've anchored in some gorgeous bays, enjoyed some good snorkeling and also visited the famous Sea Lion colony, Los Islotes! When we pulled up to the round, tan, rock island of Los Islotes and saw a huge National Geographic ship anchored there, we knew this would be a great place to see animals.
We left early in the morning for Los Islotes and when we got within a mile of it we began to hear the cries and belches of hundreds of Sea Lions. They bellowed loudly as they luxuriated and flopped around on land.
Off in the distance we saw an amazing sight – flying manta rays! The sounds of them loudly belly flopping into the water first attracted our attention as we cruised a half mile away from them. Brian pulled the boat up next to them. They would launch several feet out of the water with wings flapping wildly in mid-air as if they felt confused about their location. Land or water? Can I fly away if I flap hard enough? They were very entertaining. We saw them a couple more times at sea after this, doing the same thing.
Within a half mile of the sea lion colony, groups of curious sea lions approached the boat at the surface of the water. These creatures couldn't wait to play with us. When we finally anchored next to the National Geographic ship and jumped into the water, several small sea lion pups immediately swirled around us in the water! They were very cute and curious.
As we swam toward Los Islotes, groups of young sea lion pups circled around us and swam right at our faces, blowing bubbles and changing course right at the last minute to avoid head butting us. I looked down and saw a pup chewing on one of the fins on my feet with big teeth! I felt a little nervous. Other sea lion pups were chewing on ropes. How do I know they aren't going to chew on me? Brian explained only the small pups chew on fins, and they do this to humans because they also chew on each other's fins. There were some very large sea lions in the water, and thankfully they were not interested in us at all. I would sure not want one of those big bulls nibbling on me.
We stayed in the water for at least an hour enjoying their company and I grew more and more relaxed with them. After all, they are used to tourists visiting their home and they seem to like us as much as we like them. After our Sea Lion encounter, we moved the boat to Ensanada Grande in some pretty big waves – bigger than the boat. The boat just bounced right through them. This small boat is made for big waves with a 4,000 pound piece of lead in the keel to keep it upright. I find sailboats to be pretty amazing.
Ensanada Grande is a turquoise bay surrounded by peach colored rocks. We ended up having only one boat with which to share the anchorage, and later in the evening the captain, Clif, rowed over in his dinghy to invite us to have drinks on the beach with he and his girlfriend Giselle later than evening. These young sailors had just sailed all the way from Juneau, Alaska to La Paz, Mexico and had some exciting sea stories to share. They are currently living on their 34 foot sailboat and cruising around Mexico for the next couple months, snorkeling, diving and hiking along the way.
As we chatted on the beach, the sun set and a small black rabbit visited us. He sniffed Giselle's finger and hovered around our little beach party for at least an hour. Clif and Giselle planned to visit the Sea Lion rookery the next day, so we went again for a second day of playing with them! This time we rode to the rookery in Clif and Giselle's boat and then they returned us to Ensenada Grande afterward. I wouldn't mind yet another day with the sea lions, but the next day we did a great sea kayak and hike on Ensenada Grande. We boulder hopped up a rocky valley, avoiding prickly plants. We got to the top and enjoyed a great overlook of the Sea of Cortez. Doesn't it look calm and glassy today?

A road blocked by protestors in Souffelweyersheim, eastern France. Photo: AFP
A woman in her fifties was killed and 47 others injured including three in critical condition during demonstrations over high fuel prices in France on Saturday. Police have made at least 24 arrests.
The woman was killed when a mother trying to bring her daughter to the doctor panicked when protesters surrounded their car and began banging on the roof, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said.
The mother panicked and suddenly ploughed into the crowd in Pont-de-Beauvoisin, southeast France, hitting a woman in her fifties.
Castaner said a handful of other injuries had been reported in other areas, including a police officer in the southern city of Grasse outside Nice, by drivers trying to force a way through the blockades.
By around 1pm the number of injured had risen to 47 including three people who were fighting for their lives in hospital after being left in a critical condition.
"We're on maximum alert," he said, reiterating that police would ensure that no roads were completely blocked in order to ensure people's safety.
Most protests were relatively calm despite the anger expressed by many in interviews and on social media in recent days over the surge in fuel prices this year, in particular for diesel.
Police did say they had made 24 arrests with that number likely to mount.
The movement against high fuel prices which has mushroomed into a widespread protest against stagnant spending power under President Emmanuel Macron.
In Paris, a group of some 50 protesters were yelling "Macron resign!" on the Champs Elysee, though police were stopping them from heading toward the nearby Elysee Palace, the president's residence.
Around 124,000 people were taking part in more than 2,000 protests at roundabouts and motorway exits.
"It's much bigger than we expected," said Yves Garrec, a private taxi operator at a roundabout in Toulouse, describing a "good natured" atmosphere among the demonstrators.

You may have known the Huawei Mobile WiFi Pro E5770, as the first generation of Huawei 4G mobile hotspot with Ethernet port and SIM card slot, Huawei E5770 had gained a very good reputation. And now Huawei presented a new upgraded 4G modem Ethernet model Huawei E5885, which also has an Ethernet port and SIM card slot. Somebody may ask: What's the difference between the Huawei E5885 and E5770? What features had been upgraded in E5885? The questions would be answered in this article.
Huawei E5885Ls-93a VS Huawei E5770 Appearance and Interfaces
Huawei E5770 has a 0.96 inch OLED display on the front to show the internet connection status. Below the display, it's Huawei logo. The power and WPS buttons are on the top edge side. The Ethernet port and USB input & output ports are covered by a cap. A user needs to open the cap to see the interfaces. The back cover can be opened. Open the back cover, the SIM card slot and SD card slot can be found. On the back cover, it indicates 5200mAh battery. The battery is built-in and non-removable. Unlike other Huawei Mobile WiFi, we can't find the connectors for external antennas.
Following the design of Huawei E5770, the Huawei E5885 also has a small display on the front to show the connection status. The power button, WPS button, USB ports and Ethernet port are all in the same position like E5770. The difference is that the Huawei E5885 is thicker than the E5770, perhaps because it's configured with a large battery of 6400mAh, which is shown on the back cover. The Huawei E5770 has black and white colors available while the new Huawei E5885 has the pink & black and black & gold colors.
Huawei E5770 VS Huawei E5885 Specs
From the appearance, we can see the two MiFi routers 4G are very similar in design. The thickness and colors are different. Then let's have a look at the comparison of Huawei E5770 specs and Huawei E5885 specs. Since Huawei E5770 has only one variant model E5770S-320 and Huawei E5885 has only one variant model E5885Ls-93a. We will compare the Huawei E5770s-320 and E5885Ls-93a:

With upgraded Hisilicon LTE Cat.6 chipset, Huawei E5885 could achieve download speed up to 300mbps, which is double faster than that of E5770. With the similar design, the Huawei E5885 seems more fashion than Huawei E5770. And with the large battery of 6400mAh, Huawei E5885 would provide longer working time and make the power bank function stronger than E5770. Huawei E5885Ls-93 could support more LTE frequency bands which are widely available in Americans, Asia, Europe, and Australia, which makes it supports more network providers worldwide. Then it's no doubt that the Huawei E5885Ls-93a is better than Huawei E5770. With reasonable higher price than that of E5770, we highly recommend the Huawei E5885 Mobile WiFi Pro 2 for your global travel.

Drought restrictions and options for parched yards
The Edwards Aquifer level has fallen below 660 feet, and San Antonio is back in drought restrictions. The rules allow you to use your sprinklers only one day a week between 7 a.m. and 1p.m. in the morning or 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. at night on the day of the week that relates to the last digit in your address (0 or 1, Monday; 2 or 3, Tuesday; 4 or 5, Wednesday; 6 or 7, Thursday; and 8 or 9, Friday)
You can use drip irrigation in Stage 1 on any day, but it should be during the 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. or 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. hours. Soaker hoses are counted as sprinklers for the drought restrictions.
Soaker hoses are the green plastic hoses that put out a fine spray when used right side up. They are leaky hoses when you turn them over so that the water seeps directly on the ground. The theory at SAWS seems to be it is too easy to turn the spigot to high pressure, which results in excessive amounts of water being applied. Ideally, a soaker or leaky hose can be used at low pressure (one-half turn) so the water sweats or leaks out just as efficiently as drip irrigation.
It is important to correct leaks and never allow water to be wasted by letting it run down the road. To deal with uneven application rates and problem spots in the lawn, hand watering is allowed at any time. Also use hand watering for containers and for newly planted trees and shrubs.
More Information
The drought restrictions allow San Antonio to do its part to protect the endangered species and other downstream interests with minimal stress on our landscapes and economic activity, and without having to own extra amounts of expensive water — water that would only be used in drought times but would have to be paid for at other times when it was not needed.
Here are some other practices to consider:
Bermuda, zoysia, and buffalo grasses can be allowed to go dormant if you would prefer to quit irrigating the lawn. The grass will turn brown after about three weeks of no water, but there will be no permanent damage. The lawn greens up again as soon as the rains restart.
Even St. Augustine in sun can tolerate up to three weeks between irrigation episodes. That would mean it is not a major disaster if you miss one or two weeks of your scheduled watering. The lawn will not be lush green if it only gets irrigation once every three weeks, but research results indicate it will still be alive and responsive to changes in the weather.
Well established, well-adapted plants such as oak trees, hollies and Texas mountain laurel should not require supplemental irrigation. They evolved in drought conditions and can survive.
Newly planted shrubs and trees, however, do not have an extensive root system developed so they may need supplemental hand watering at the base to make sure that the root ball is wetted. Treat plants less than two years in the ground as newly planted. Also watch for any sign of drying out of plants in stressful situations like slopes or parking lots. They may need supplemental watering at the base, too.
Use mulch to reduce evaporation from moist soil. In the short term, mulching dry soil may slow the entry of moisture from light rains, but it is beneficial in the long run.
Drip irrigation is more efficient for watering perennials, flowers and vegetables than sprinkler irrigation. Sprinklers are generally unsuccessful in providing adequate water for newly planted trees and shrubs. Review SAWS incentives for improving your irrigation situation.
Fruit trees develop their fruit buds in the summer before the fruit is produced, so they must receive adequate irrigation now if they are going to bear fruit next spring. Use drip irrigation and water enough to keep the foliage thick and green.
