Nine years later.
Today is the day. Nine years of blogging later, and a whole lot has changed since then. As one would expect life to change in close to a decade. I am one of the most resistant-to-change-persons that I know of, but looking back on some of the blogposts and the stories and photos that I shared makes me grateful for change though too.
Nine years ago blogging was not all that popular. I had found a few blogs online that I liked to read as often as they were updated- mainly crafting, inspiration type blogs. With an occasional stop over to Dooce's blog, because honestly I liked her sarcasm and funny stories about her Avon-selling mom. But one day I decided to hit "create blog" and Nitty.Gritty. was born.
I knew I was going to write and post pictures about my family. That was a natural thing for me to do after keeping a journal for many years, and then after our loss of Teagan and Wyndham's ongoing healing and special needs I had come to write frequent emails and updates which I would send to family and friends. I figured blogging would be an easy way for those people to pop in and see what was going on in our lives and find out what needs we might have that they could add to their prayer list.
But not long after I started sharing pictures and stories I started receiving emails and comments from people I had never met. It was a neat thing to be connecting to people in cyberworld, and at times your stories and emails had me in tears at my laptop. There felt like something bigger going on. Something bigger than a blog.
I have never regretted sharing so much of our lives- the ups and downs and everything in between. In fact as I re-read some of the posts last week, I found myself so thankful that I had these things written down. I never would have remembered even half of the stuff posted on here! But the details are important and one day I am sure my kids will enjoy looking back and reading first-hand accounts of some of their childhood antics. I feel bad that in this season of my life I don't write or keep record of our day-to-day stories in more detail- although I am thankful for Facebook to post where I post way too many photos and snippets of our lives. It is a cool record of everything under the sun- including what we eat for dinner. Which basically documents how many times we eat waffles in a week. =)
When Nitty.Gritty. was started, I had two fewer kids. I wasn't on any design teams, nor did I own any 12x12 paper or Thickers. {My craft friends know what that means!} =) I didn't have any kids in theater productions or on swim or debate teams. I basically had more time in my life to write.
I appreciate that some people have stopped in here daily for years, and I wish I could have a cup of coffee and zucchini bread with each of you! You have made me want to be a better writer. One day that might happen yet!

The Presets are one of Australia's best live bands. They fucking rock. I first interviewed the duo in New York for Rolling Stone in 2008 and was lucky enough to film their live show that night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. I've still never seen a New York crowd get as rowdy as they did that night. I remember having great trouble shooting the performance because the ground under the camera tripod was shaking so much. The Presets have continued to rule the Australian music world and we look forward to seeing them dominate the stage in the U.S. on their coming tour. Drummer Kim Moyes checked in with us on their way over to talk about the new record, hamburgers and Aussie vs American groupies (or lack there of). Go have some fun, tour dates and tickets here.
How is the new album going live?
The new material seems to be going down well in our live shows. We've managed to blend most of the new material with some reworked "remix" versions of the old material. Everything is sitting really well together and the audience seem to enjoy the new moments and seem genuinely surprised when they hear some of the old favourites in a new interpretation.
What song off 'Pacifica' is the most fun to play live and why?
Personally, I really enjoy playing 'Youth In Trouble' live. It was a song we made in the studio but whilst we were making it I think in the back of our minds we were always thinking about how insane it would be at a show at full volume and with the lights to accompany it. It's a huge build-up track and we have some really great psychedelic visuals to go along with the music. It's a lot of fun!
Describe America?
America is a landmass of the western hemisphere consisting of the continents of North and South America joined by the Isthmus of Panama. It's where hamburgers come from.
What's different/special about a U.S. tour?
When compared with touring Australia or Europe, a typical U.S. tour is generally a lot more dates and cities to cover. There is probably about the same amount of land mass as there is in Australia but instead of about 5 cities to play, the U.S. seems to have something more like 5000 cities to potentially hold a show. The U.S. is great for me because I can ask for jalapenos with pretty much any hamburger I order.
Best story while touring the U.S.?
I've been pondering this question for the last 10 hours and as lame as it sounds I honestly can't think of anything that would be worthy as an answer.
Compare American VS Aussie groupies?
American groupies are great, they have excellent table manners and polite dinner conversation. Australia groupies just yell things like "Fuggin Presets! Yeaaaaaaah" or "Wanker" from across the room if they are trying to get out attention. I'm just kidding. The Presets don't have groupies.
3 tips to seeing a Presets show live?
1. Wear comfortable shoes.
2. Enjoy the moment and try to be as present as possible. Try not to get caught up on social media when the show is happening – the show is for you, you are meant to be involved.
3. If your top becomes drenched in sweat or ripped off in a moment of passion, don't fret. Just see our lovely girl working the merch stand and pick up a reasonably priced 'Presets Tour' Tee.
What's the most rockstar thing you've ever done?
By "rockstar" I assume you mean something stupid like throwing a tv from the hotel room into a pool or letting off a firecracker in another band's dressing room just before they go onstage so that the bass player loses his hearing, or stealing the rider from Roni Size's dressing room?
I got a car park outside the front door of a Chinese restaurant the other night, that's probably the most rockstar thing I've done in a while.

Zero Based Bonus
When designing compensation programs that include special bonuses, pay-for-performance, and other variable pay factors, sometimes a company will wish to exclude a particular set of employees from a compensation plan feature.
A zero based bonus system categorizes a particular group of employees as being ineligible for a certain set of bonuses or other compensation. For example, there may be a tenure-based bonus reward representing X percentage of salary. Individuals above a certain pay level may not be eligible for the bonus, so they would be assigned that class within the compensation structure.

US Air Force deserter reveals himself after living in Sweden for 28 years
A fugitive U.S. airman who deserted from a base in Germany solved the mystery of his 28-year disappearance after he revealed himself to a Swedish newspaper.
David Hemler left an Air Force base in Augsburg in 1984 after he became disgruntled with former President Ronald Reagan's policies and joined a pacifist church, Reuters reports, citing the Swedish-language Dagens Nyheter.
He then hitchhiked his way to Sweden and planned to stay there for a week, but ended up settling down. Hemler, now 49 and working at a Swedish government agency, married a woman from Thailand and has three kids, the newspaper reports.
Hemler was listed as one of the Air Force's most-wanted fugitives after his desertion, according to the newspaper, but he told no one -- not even his wife -- about his identity.
Hemler outed himself because he said he missed his parents and was afraid that he'd lose his residence permit if exposed.
"I didn't want to leave my daughter, and with a dishonorable discharge I would never find a job, get no retirement and no medical benefits," Hemler told Dagens Nyheter, the New York Daily News reports.
Hemler contacted his U.S. family four weeks ago and spoke to his brother, who said he had a "strange European accent." The family is now planning to visit him in Sweden.
The Air Force is still investigating Hemler's claims, the Daily News reports.

To me, this says it all: he's likely an irresponsible, instant gratification type of individual, completely out of control financially.* I suggest you stop comparing notes with him. You're doing it right, and he's once again on the path to fiscal chaos. So, you've met him, eh? :)*Ok, maybe this is a little harsh. There certainly are a few people out there who have had genuinely bad luck, and for whom bankruptcy is a reasonable approach. But it sounds like your friend isn't one of them. Nah, seems about right for him.Thanks Lorenzo!

Portland Opera today announced the complete repertory for its 2017 Season. With five productions on the main stage and one additional production that will launch what will become an annual winter event, General Director Christopher Mattaliano's vision for the future of opera in Portland is a feast for the heart and mind consisting of both the trusted and true, bold and new.
"Each of the 2017 operas tells a great love story – yet each is markedly different! Love, with all its mysteries and manifestations, runs through this season – stories of GREAT LOVE – all on a truly operatic scale. And we continue to honor the great operatic traditions with our productions at the Keller Theater, while we also strive to challenge and inspire not only our beloved audience, but also ourselves, with our productions at the Newmark Theater and at our own Hampton Opera Studio Theater," says Christopher Mattaliano, who will direct.
Patrons will find much to love in a well-balanced mix that includes traditional productions of timeless titles, original designs from beloved directors who know how to appeal to the desires of discerning Portland audiences, award-winning contemporary works on an exciting double bill, and the return of the crowd-pleasing showcase of the best in opera. Look to February, April, May, June, July, and August for six productions, seven titles, and a total of 24 performances.
Portland Opera's subscribers will have first crack at purchasing tickets to an inaugural annual event: Winter Vino e Voce, a unique new offering of artistically unexpected performances. Experience the intimacy and immediacy of a 250-seat venue in the Hampton Opera Center's studio theater with Monteverdi's Songs of Love and War in February.
As a celebratory, intentionally welcoming way to usher in 2017's main stage performances, Portland Opera is bringing back the star-studded Big Night concert on April 8 in the Keller Auditorium. Bring a friend who is new to opera and introduce them to the best arias, duets and choral pieces in the repertoire. For those not in the know, it's soloists, chorus and orchestra all on stage together and there is something for everyone.
On May 5, one of the most tender love stories of all time will transform the Keller Auditorium stage into 1830s Paris for Puccini's La Bohème. This perennial favorite will come to life with unabashedly traditional scenery and costumes that will sing to both those who are new to opera and to those who know Puccini's blockbuster by heart.
La Bohème will be followed in June by a classic American work, Mitch Leigh's Man of La Mancha, also at Keller Auditorium. Man of La Mancha's uplifting story, unforgettable characters, and timeless songs like "The Impossible Dream" garnered it five Tony Awards® and have the power to send audiences back into the streets feeling better about the world around all of us.
July brings two intimate new Newmark productions. Mozart's Così fan tutte is a deeply insightful look at relationships. Perhaps Mozart's most beautiful outpouring of music, Così fan tutte is also his most profound comedy. The West Coast premiere of a double bill featuring The Difficulty of Crossing a Field and The Little Match Girl Passion by award winning composer David Lang will be staged by none other than Imago Theatre's Artistic Co-Director Jerry Mouawad.
Both Newmark productions will feature new scenery and costumes, created especially for the intimacy of the Newmark Theatre. Creating more fresh new productions is a hallmark of Portland Opera's new spring/summer season format. With Portland Opera's second summer of rotating-repertory performances, patrons who are looking for the immersive experience of seeing two great masterpieces on two consecutive days should note that repertory dates in 2017 are July 28 & 29.
Songs of Love and War
Hampton Opera Center
February 17, 19m, 21, 23, 25, 2017
Winter Vino e Voce, is a new annual winter offering of intimate performances at the Hampton Opera Center, a spark of light in February for opera lovers. Offered in Portland Opera's home, Winter Vino e Voce's inaugural performance will showcase Claudio Monteverdi, the first great genius of opera composers.
In 1607 Monteverdi – at the age of 40 – wrote the earliest opera that is still in regular production, L'Orfeo. Thirty-one years later, he created his eighth book of madrigals, known as Songs of Love and War. He composed nine books of madrigals, the last three are based on purely secular texts. Book 8 contains a series of vocal solos, duets, trios, and quartets, which are based on poetry that uses the metaphor of war to describe love.
"For this production, I have chosen to stage a series of madrigals from Books 7, 8 and 9," says General Director Christopher Mattaliano who will direct. "The poetry in these songs is surprisingly 'modern' in viewpoint, covering a wide range of emotion and content: the dance of courtship, sensual attraction, sexual passion, unrequited love, betrayal, lovers at war, and the tension between chastity and sensual pleasure. Think Carmina Burana, only much earlier."
While there is no "story," per se, to the evening, each song tells it's own mini-story. The evening will feel like a series of staged scenes or vignettes – a woman laments about her lover's betrayal, a duet with a man attempting (comically) to seduce a woman, a trio with three men pleading with their lovers to stop fighting, etc. In Monteverdi's lyric, deeply expressive, and emotionally direct Songs of Love and War, the birth of opera as we know it is right around the corner.

Opera's best arias, duets and ensembles
Keller Auditorium
April 8, 2017
After a three-year hiatus, Portland Opera is going to bring Music Director George Manahan and the orchestra back up on the stage, along with its celebrated opera chorus. They'll be joined by international guest stars performing selections from the most popular operas of Puccini, Mozart, Verdi, and Wagner, in addition to classic Broadway tunes.
Portland Opera's Big Night concert is a "one-night only" event. All ticket proceeds benefit Portland Opera's Education and Outreach Program, serving tens of thousands of students in Oregon and Southwest Washington annually.
La Bohème
Keller Auditorium
May 5, 7m, 11, 13, 2017
May 5 at the Keller Auditorium is opening night for a cherished staple of opera lovers the world over: Puccini's ageless classic, La Bohème. Giacomo Puccini is immensely popular with audiences throughout the world. He's well known for the soaring melodies, great sense of theater, and rich, atmospheric orchestrations of masterpieces such as Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Turandot, and, of course, La Bohème.
La Bohème is based on Henri Murger's novel, Scenes from the Bohemian Life. Set in the frigid cold of a Paris winter in the 1830s, it follows the loves and fortunes of a small group of friends: the poet, Rodolfo, the seamstress Mimi, the painter Marcello, the musician Schaunard, the philosopher Colline and the coquette, Musetta.
Portland Opera's production features the debut of Vanessa Isiguen, credited for her "enormous skill and sly charm," as Mimi; former Portland Opera Resident Artist Jennifer Forni (Micaëla, Carmen [2015] and Tatiana, Eugene Onegin [2016]) as Musetta; the American debut of the exciting Italian tenor Giordano Lucá as Rodolfo; and, also making his Portland Opera debut, the "eloquent" and "commanding" Will Liverman as Marcello.
Esteemed Music Director George Manahan will conduct Puccini's lush and intricate score. His work on the podium conducting this piece has been described as "full of fire." Among Manahan's television credits is the New York City Opera's performance of La Bohème which was broadcast on PBS in 2000.
Making her directorial debut with Portland Opera is Kathleen Belcher, a regular at The Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Los Angeles Opera. The New York Times praises her for "pitch-perfect interpretation," San Francisco Classical Voice hails her direction as "exceptional," and San Francisco Chronicle calls her work "studded with imaginative and telling details."
Sung in Italian with English text projected above the stage.
Man of La Mancha
Keller Auditorium
June 9, 11m, 15, 17, 2017
Man of La Mancha was the first true "concept musical," in that the over-arching idea or theme is almost more important than the narrative. It was an enormous success with both audiences and critics when it first appeared on Broadway, winning won five Tony Awards ®, including "best musical."
Like the great lyric works of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, and Stephen Sondheim, Man of La Mancha has entered the operatic canon, and is now regularly performed by opera companies who can do justice to its stirring dramatic melodies sung by fully trained lyric voices, accompanied by a full orchestra.
The piece is inspired by Miguel Cervantes' great novel Don Quixote, but librettist Dale Wasserman framed his tale as a play within a play, and included the character of Cervantes himself. We first meet him in prison, where he is awaiting trial by the Spanish Inquisition. Cervantes presents the story of Don Quixote to his fellow prisoners, who in turn participate in telling the tale, enacting its many colorful roles.
With credits including numerous principal roles at the Royal Opera House, Paris Opera, Chicago Lyric Opera, and more, Welsh baritone Jason Howard is recognized as one of the UK's leading performers on the international operatic stage. He has received global acclaim for not only his operatic roles, but also his Broadway roles. Howard will make his Portland Opera debut as Don Quixote. Tara Venditti is making her Portland Opera debut as Aldonza, the object of Don Quixote's reverential love. From the Royal Opera House to Glimmerglass, Venditti is praised for both her beautiful, rich voice and her stage presence alike.
Music Director George Manahan will conduct a score that the Chicago Tribune credits with the "unusual rewards" of "not the typical violin sections but a percussive-heavy combination of brass, woodwinds and flamenco-style guitars."
Director Alan Paul is the Associate Artistic Director of The Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC (Recipient of the 2012 Regional Theater Tony Award). In 2014, he received a Helen Hayes nomination for Best Director for Man of La Mancha.

Così fan tutte
Newmark Theatre
July 14, 16m, 20, 22, 26, 29, 2017
Continuing Portland Opera's season of love, is Mozart's most sensuously beautiful opera, Così fan tutte. Mozart's place in music is unparalleled and his relationship to opera unique. Mozart's work, no matter the genre, epitomizes the music of the classical period and the idealism of the Age of Enlightenment. Mozart's art, like no other, meets humanity's longing for wholeness and reconciliation.
Così fan tutte is the third of Mozart's operas with a libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte, following the great success of The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. It is easy to dismiss da Ponte's scenario as trivial: Two young couples are challenged by an older, wiser man to discover whether their love is true. He convinces the two young men to disguise themselves and then to attempt to seduce the other's lover. While the action is often madcap comedy, the emotional impact is deeply affecting, due to Mozart's rich music, teasing out meaning where a lesser composer could not.
Returning to Portland Opera after the critically acclaimed production of The Rake's Progress (2015), is Director Roy Rallo. Nicholas Fox, Portland Opera's Chorus Master and Assistant Conductor, who made his Portland Opera conducting debut with the enormously popular The Elixir of Love in 2015, will conduct.
Sung in Italian with English text projected above the stage.
The Difficulty of Crossing a Field & The Little Match Girl Passion
Newmark Theatre
July 28, 30m, Aug 3, 5, 2017
"Portland Opera has developed a reputation for presenting moving, innovative productions from brilliant composers who may be less well-known to our opera audiences," says Christopher Mattaliano. "Composers the likes of Philip Glass, Claudio Monteverdi, John Adams, Dominick Argento, and Francesco Cavalli have graced our theaters with beautiful, powerful works that showcase all that opera has to offer. For 2017, we are thrilled to continue this tradition with two deeply affecting works by the American composer, David Lang."
Based on a one-page story by the 19th century American writer Ambrose Bierce, The Difficulty of Crossing a Field is part courtroom drama, and part cosmic mystery. In the pre-Civil War South, the slave owner Williamson walks across his field and disappears in plain view of his family, his neighbors and his slaves, forever altering the relationships among them.
Each witness has a distinct response to this loss, revealed in a series of narrative "tellings" throughout the course of the opera. Hannah Penn (Julie, Show Boat [2015]), will sing the role of Mrs. Williamson. Christian Zaremba, "a stage animal with a big bass voice," according to The New York Times and Martin Bakari, a "golden" and "velvety" tenor will both make their Portland Opera debuts.
In 2008, David Lang won the Pulitzer Prize for his highly original and deeply moving score The Little Match Girl Passion. Lang based his work on Hans Christian Andersen's story of a little girl selling matches, who, after seeing visions of her beloved Grandmother and the warmth of past Christmases in the flames of her matches, succumbs to cold and dies.
Lang was fascinated by the tale's Christian overtones and the parallels between the little match girl's suffering, death and transfiguration and those of Christ. Using Bach's St. Matthew's Passion as an inspiration and reference, Lang integrates biblical text into the story, providing both a commentary and spiritual reflection on the story of the little girl.
Born in 1957, Lang is an enormous presence in the new music scene. Critics call his work "fresh, emotional and infinitely approachable." Conductor Hal France, who last appeared at Portland Opera to conduct Show Boat (2015), will take the podium. Jerry Mouawad, Artistic Co-Director of Imago Theatre, is making his Portland Opera directing debut.

College History
Jefferson Davis County was carved out of surrounding counties in 1906. In 1907 the Prentiss Institute opened its doors. Jonas Edward Johnson and his wife Bertha LaBranche Johnson borrowed money to purchase 40 acres of land that included a log cabin that was once used as an early homestead, perhaps as an inn and tavern along an early road that led from the river town of Natchez east into Alabama. There were still remnants of slave quarters in the rear. In its heyday the Institute was considered by many both black and white to be one of the finest of Mississippi's black schools, emulating the philosophy of Booker T. Washington's model of black self determination. The school attracted some of the best and brightest African American educators and lecturers. In 1926, 19 years after the school was founded, a Rosenwald classroom was built on the campus.
Initially, the Johnsons had the challenge of convincing parents in rural areas to send their children to this school. In those days the population of Prentiss was around 200. They began with 40 students who paid for their education with the only commodities they had—eggs, chickens, produce and the like. When the school began it covered only the elementary grades, but over the years it grew. By the time Dr. Johnson passed away in 1953, Prentiss Institute—by then the Prentiss Normal and Industrial Institute—included a high school and junior college with an enrollment of more than 700 students and a faculty of 44. The campus also grew, from those original 40 acres to 500 acres of pasture, farmland and forest, and from one building to 24.
In 1955 the Prentiss Institute formed a union with Heifer International, two independent organizations committed to both education and social justice. This relationship would span the next 3 decades. In December 1955, just months after the murder of Emmett Till, an article by State Times staff writer George Harmon reported that "Prentiss Institute, a 48 year old private junior college and vocational school, received 15 pure-bred heifers last week for distribution to families who want to diversify their farm income but are not financially able to do so." Later on there were chicken projects as well.
Heifer International (also Heifer Project) had formed a relationship with the African-American school in segregated Mississippi and had sent them livestock in June 1955. This was one of Heifer's first full-fledged projects in the U.S. As unusual as this may have been for the times, it was what the recipients at the Prentiss Institute did next that was truly radical. When the second shipment of heifers arrived in Prentiss, "the Institute asked white farm leaders in Jeff Davis County to help them donate some of the animals to white families."
The Supreme Court decisions in the Brown I and Brown II cases striking down the separate by equal doctrine ironically may have contributed to the decline and eventual closure of Prentiss Institute. As numbers at the school dwindled, so too did participation in Heifer-related programs. Prentiss Institute struggled for several years before closing their doors in 1989 and ceasing to function as an education institution. To date, alumi are working to restore the remaining buildings on campus. A few are still in use, including one operating as a Head Start center.

This WoW set features the full Voidheart Transmog, which is the warlock tier 4 raid set. Voidheart is obtained by looting armor tokens from various Burning Crusade bosses. These Tokens can be traded for set pieces via Arodis Sunblade (Scryers) or Asuur (Aldor) located within Shattrath City.
How to Get Warlock Tier 4? By slaying Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, and Magtheridon's Lair bosses.
Are There Multiple Tier 4 Transmogs For My Class? No, some classes do have multiple tier 4 sets (depending on their class trees), but every tier set variation features the same exact transmog look. For example, the paladin has a different set for retribution, holy, and protection, but all three sets share the same exact model and color variation. (Hunter, Mage, Rogue, and Warlock feature only one tier 4 set)
How Many Set Pieces? [5] Helmet, Shoulders, Chest, Hands, and Pants
Warlock Tier 4 Transmog:
[Drop Locations]
Head: Helm of the Fallen Hero by slaying Prince Malchezaar in Karazhan.
Chest: Chestguard of the Fallen Hero by slaying Magtheridon in Magtheridon's Lair.
Hands: Gloves of the Fallen Hero by slaying The Curator in Karazhan.
Legs: Leggings of the Fallen Hero by slaying Gruul the Dragonkiller in Gruul's Lair.

Tajimaya Yakiniku, VivoCity
Here was the yakiniku side of Shabuya (1 HarbourFront Walk #01-102, 6377-0070). I should have heeded my lessons from last time. The kimuchi that came first was in a rather discouraging condition, although the meat eventually got the job done, if forgettably. The only thing that I did enjoy was the salad, which was also a highlight from the other side of the house. But in the end, we paid more than we would have at Aburiya and yet left far less satisfied.
Digested at 9:29 PM
|This made me feel:

Even in the heat of summer, it's not to early to consider ways to keep our garden friends, our composting worms, fully employed over the winter months. For now, use that vermicompost for some worm "compost teas" to help your gardens with the stress of this summer's heat. When cold weather comes, gather your materials and try overwintering your worms outside.
Cold weather (remember that?) will definitely slow the activity of a worm colony. Although my experience is that worms can be incredibly hardy, there's no reason to miss a beat over the winter. The two key factors are shelter and heat.
Last winter I chose had to replace my compost bins cause they were rotten. They were oak pallets and they had lasted about seven years. I took the old pallets out, but wanted to level the site, so I started digging. What I found was a very rich layer of vermicompost between and under the pallets. Remember, I've been filling my bins with worms and managing for their happiness for the whole seven years.
I ended up with a level site and nine wheelbarrows full of vermicompost! As I shoveled the black gold aside, I tried to put the material with the most worms farthest from the compost bin pad. I spread the vermicompost on my garden and mulched it for the winter.
What was left over was perhaps three wheelbarrows of finished vermicompost and most of my worms. I covered the pile with some clear plastic greenhouse glazing. I never stopped putting my household food scraps on the south side of the pile. I simply came outside, lifted the plastic and a layer of straw and threw the scraps into the pile. What happened was that I started an active composting pile. There was enough food coming in, getting mixed in and covered to get hot and keep the whole area well above freezing. The winter sun helped warm the pile through the clear plastic. On cold nights there was condensed moisture on the inside of the plastic but the pile was plenty warm enough to keep going.
The worms were hanging out at the edges of the pile, staying warm and well fed. Although last winter was mild, this strategy will work well as far north as Minnesota, as I found out on a tour of compost education programs to St. Cloud in 1993. I visited Compost Guru, Jim McNelly (founding board member of the U.S. Composting Council) as he brought me in to educate in the schools there. He had a busy worm colony in a small black plastic compost unit outside his house in a tough winter.
Top photo: On the left is the windrow full of vermicompost that I harvested from the dark flat area on the right. Notice the clear plastic covering the pile, the pallets that will become the next bin and the stored bags of leaves.
Lower photo: The worms are hard at work under the clear plastic and the straw layer. The 2 x 4's are not a part of the system, just left overs from the compost bin being built in the background.
I live in an apartment in central New York. I would like to start composting the kitchen scraps of my family of 4. Can I begin composting before spring? Would frozen compost without any worm activity attract rodents and other pests? There is little sunlight in the yard due to the shade of 3 large maple trees. Is it possible to keep compost in a shaded area in the winter and still keep it active? I'm desperately trying to be a more eco-friendly gardening enthusiast, but I struggle with the lack of sunlight on the property.

A young married couple, Derek and Cindy, seem to live a fairly normal life, however, the couple is still devastated due to a tragedy that occurred two years ago, the death of their only son, James, caused by SIDS. Cindy, who remained sterile, could not have other children and overcome mourning, one day, the couple finds their identities are stolen online. They hire private detective Mike (Jason's father) to find the thief, and after revealing that Cindy had been regularly chatting on a support group website, Mike determines their burglar. Cindy and Derek go after the suspect, Stephen Schumacher, following him at work, watching his movements, and breaking into his home for evidence. Right before Derek goes to confront him at his front door, Mike calls to tell him that Schumacher is not their guy, and that he too was a victim of the burglar. Schumacher, who had been noticing Cindy and Derek stalking him, confronts them in their car with a rifle; however, Derek, a former Marine, disarms him and forces him back into his house. Cindy is able to coax the gun away, relating to the online chats about each of their losses.
The film ends with none of the stories being resolved, and yet, with all characters having grown closer to the ones they love in the process, or rather, having stopped "disconnecting".
Disconnect opened in a Limited release on April 12 2013 in 15 theaters and grossed $124,000 with an average of $8,267 per theater ranking #31 at the box office. The film's widest release domestically was 180 theaters and it ended up earning $1,436,900 in the United States and $1,991,148 internationally for a total of $3,428,048. [4] [2]
received a score of 68% on
Nike Premium Internationalist Trainers In Blue high quality sale online cheap sale visa payment qcaZbOp
based on 75 reviews with an average rating of 6.6 out of 10. The critical consensus states " It's didactic in spots and melodramatic in others, but Disconnect's strong cast helps make it a timely, effective exploration of modern society's technological overload ." [5] The film also has a score of 64 out of 100 on River Island Espadrille Mule Loafer outlet 100% authentic reliable cheap online how much for sale Z8LyK6k7
based on 24 critics indicating "generally favourable reviews". [6]
Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film four out of four stars and wrote "Even when the dramatic stakes are raised to the point of pounding music accompanying super-slow motion, potentially tragic violence, "Disconnect" struck a chord with me in a way few films have in recent years. I believed the lives of these people. I believed they'd do the drastic things they do in the face of crisis. I ached for them when things went terribly wrong and rooted for them when there were glimmers of hope. You should see this movie. Please...There wasn't a moment during this movie when I thought about anything other than this movie." [7]
It is also possible to replace the street name line with a PO box (e.g. "postbus 1200") or freepost number (e.g. "antwoordnummer 150"), which have their own postal code.
New Zealand Post recommends the following format:
Note that no space or full stops exists between P and O in PO Box or R and D in RD. One should put only one space between the town/city and the postcode.
Note for Wellington metropolitan area, users should use the city name (i.e. Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua), not the metropolitan area name. For example:
The city in this case is important, as if Wellington is used instead of Lower Hutt and the postcode is unclear (note only the first digit differs), someone's private mail could accidentally be sent to the New Zealand Parliament Buildings instead (or vice versa).
One anomaly about this system is the Wellington Mail Centre, which is addressed as Wellington Mail Centre, Lower Hutt 5045 , due to its location in the Lower Hutt suburb of Petone .
Postal addresses in Norway are formatted as follows:
The first line, Recipient (Person or Entity) , is the legal recipient of the item being sent. The Recipient's name must be marked on the mail box in order for the item to be delivered.
Flat or floor number is not part of Norwegian postal addresses.
The postal code (always four digits) is mandatory. If a PO box is used (e.g. Postboks 250 Sentrum), it replaces Streetname + Number . PO box addresses have postal codes which differ from those used for street addresses. Some areas do not have street names. For these areas, Streetname + Number is replaced by a local designation determined by the Norwegian postal service.
In the Sultanate of Oman (2012), the address is formatted as follows: [15]
Physical addresses only exist in major urban centers like those of Greater Muscat, Sohar, Salalah, Sur and Nizwa.
The format used in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Official Addresses
In Peru, addresses in the Metropolitan Area of Lima and Callao are generally formatted as follows:
Addresses elsewhere in the country are formatted as follows:
Philippine follows Western conventions on addressing. Addresses in the Philippines either uses these formats.
In Poland, the address is generally formatted as follows:
ul. = Str (Street) al. = Ave (Avenue) pl. = Sq (Square, or Circus)
The abbreviation "m." (meaning "mieszkanie" = "flat") can be used instead of "/" before the flat number.
The postal code always consists of five digits separated with a hyphen (in the "XX-XXX" format), i.e. 00-486 (00=Warsaw); 20-486 (20=Lublin), etc. The first digit signifies the postal district, the second: the code zone, the third: the code sector, the fourth and fifth signify the post office and its area of operation. Usually the code is unique on the street level for cities and the town level for smaller towns and villages.

This naming convention made it a little difficult to follow sometimes. I had to re-read the subsequent sentences to figure out whether you were referring to the client or service.
>The reference is connected to the service by a wire...
Connected by a wire?
>The fact that the connection involves a callback is defined by the interface used to describe the service...
So, a dual interface is an interface with both the service and callback interfaces?
>The presence of a element on both the OrderClient reference and on the OrderService service indicates that Web services are the method used to communicate between them.
What element? Are you referring to the <binding.ws/>?
It seems the scenarios for SCA can also be handled by asynchronous client processing with a message queue binding. Although there is more infrastructure involved with asynchronous client process, you get durability and robustness. The client does not need to be online all the time. With SCA, the client has to be available in order for the service to send back the response. what happens to the response message if the client callback is unavailable?
Re: Confused.
mike prendergast
The key point here is that you could do this with an async messaging implemenation where you manage the infrastructure. By using sca you let sca manage that for you and in fact in the IBM products it will generate MDBs etc later on during deployment.
However this is an async call as well asa response so in fact the client doesn't have to be present at the same time. For more detail on error handling see

Meeting will discuss airline traffic affecting Minneapolis neighborhoods
The most recent Federal Aviation Policy bill requires the Federal Aviation Administration to implement the next generation of airplane navigation, conveniently known as NextGen. The law requires FAA to implement NextGen at the 35 largest airports by 2025. The FAA states, "NextGen enhances safety, reduces delays, saves fuel and reduces aviation's environmental impact." (http://www.faa.gov/nextgen/) A portion of NextGen is a series of departure and arrival procedures known at RNAV.
Last fall the FAA attempted to implement RNAV at the airport with minimal notification and no input from the residents directly affected by the changes. Minneapolis and partners were able to prevail upon the Metropolitan Airports Commission to request more time and to develop a better plan.
U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison is now holding a forum to discuss the questions Minneapolis residents would like to have answered before RNAV's implementation at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International airport.
Implementing RNAV at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport
Tuesday, Aug. 27
5:30 to 7 p.m.
Washburn High School
201 W. 49th Street
Under current departure procedures, airplanes leave the runway and are told to turn a specific direction, but the plane is still at the mercy of how quickly it can become stable in the air before making the initial turn. That means the path of the planes can vary significantly depending on the type of plane, how heavily it is loaded, and the weather.
Under RNAV, planes leaving and approaching the airport would all aim for specific points in the sky. The closer to the points the planes get, the more flights are all traveling along very similar paths. Since these points would be the same every day, the air traffic would become very predictable. RNAV is very good news for airports that have a freeway, rivers, industrial corridor or other land that does not have homes on it. Planes can be routed over these compatible land uses, lessening the impact of airplane noise on residential homes.
For years, the City of Minneapolis has been one of the most active cities in the country in advocating for community input on federal aviation policy decisions. These efforts have resulted in one of the most extensive airport noise mitigation programs in the nation as the airport itself prepares for an increase in traffic.

Anti-Dalit and Anti-poor action by a pro-dalit Government
Nadwa slums brutally demolished
Today at the behest of Bahujan Samaj Party's Satish Chandra Mishra, the local administration came into swing to brutally demolish the slums in Nadwa (daliganj), Lucknow . More than 250 poor people were rendered homeless when UP's Chief Minister Mayawati on her birthday had claimed that every poor will get a home.
When the senior activist and Magsaysay Awardee (2002) Dr Sandeep Pandey was on his way to intervene, police forcibly stopped him from going to the Nadwa slums and detained him at the Hasanganj police station. Representatives of many social organizations and invidivuals came to the Hasanganj Police station and Nadwa area where slums were being demolished. Heavy police was deployed to ward off any intrusion in Gomti Action Plan under which the slums were being cleared off from the coast of Gomti river. Activists of National Alliance of People's Movements (NAPM) and Asha Parivar took the centrestage in the demonstation against this brutal onslaught on the underserved communities in Lucknow.
The residents of Nadwa slums are mostly dalits and have been saving from their daily earnings to qualify for housing under Basic Services for Urban Poor (BSUP). But the local administration demolished the slums even when these alternative housing facilities are not yet ready to use.
In the afternoon Dr Sandeep Pandey was allowed to go out of the Hasanganj Police station. By this time the slums were already completely demolished. When the displaced people of these slums were marching towards the Vidhan Sabha to stage a protest to demand their alternative housing facilities, a woman among those displaced went into labour pains. Due to timely intervention by Additional District Magistrate (ADM) OP Pathak, a government ambulance reached in time to take this woman to a hospital.
Residents of Lucknow , representatives of various social organizations and those displaced due to the demolition are demanding that government should immediately provide temporary housing facilities to the displaced communities, meantime the construction work at BSUP should be expedited so that these people can move into their houses at the earliest.

A $20 raffle ticket could win you two round-trip tickets to Dublin, Ireland. Second-prize winners receive a 60-inch TV, and third place gets an iPad.
The San Francisco Police Officers Association union is trying to raise money for the group of officers who were indicted in late February on a raft of federal charges.
The suspension relief fund -- and May 22 raffle -- was set up for the five current officers and one former officer who were suspended without pay last month after they became defendants in a federal case. The six face federal charges including constitutional-rights violations, extortion, lying in court and on police reports, and dealing drugs.
The officers were part of plainclothes investigation teams whose alleged misdeeds at single-room-occupancy hotels in the Mission district, Tenderloin and on Sixth Street were captured on video discovered by the Public Defender's Office in 2011. The charges involve warrantless room searches, stealing from suspects, and seizing and then selling marijuana.
The suspended officers include: Sgt. Ian Furminger, 47, of Pleasant Hill; Officer Edmond Robles, 46, of Danville; Officer Arshad Razzak, 41, of San Francisco; Officer Richard Yick, 37, of San Francisco; and Officer Raul Eric Elias, 44, of San Mateo. Former Officer Reynaldo Vargas, 45, of Palm Desert was previously removed from the force for an "unrelated" disciplinary issue, according to the department.
Other officers involved in the searches could face administrative penalties.

How to Generate Leads Online - 5 Best Tips
This article republished from the National Federation of Independant Business
Finding new customers is essential to any business, large or small. But today, the digital world has opened the door for new, highly effective ways to generate sales leads.
To navigate the waters and maximize success, follow these five tips for generating leads online.
1. Rethink your "Contact Us" page for Leads
Swap your phone number and email on your website's "Contact Us" page for a far more effective form. Include fields where visitors can submit information in response to questions you select, for example, a consumer's education level or a business' industry. "A form is trackable and can be recorded into a database for follow-up and analysis," says Mike Volpe, vice president of marketing for marketing software provider HubSpot in Cambridge, Mass.
To maximize the number of Web visitors who complete your contact form, keep forms as short and simple as possible, asking only for the information needed for your business to follow up successfully.
2. Give something for free.
Whether you're engaged in a pay-per-click ad campaign or simply want to encourage more visitors to fill out your online contact form, you can improve results by offering something of value—for free. "Many Web visitors don't want to engage in a personal conversation, but they are willing to give you their contact information in exchange for some valuable content," Volpe says.
Freebies from your business might include a whitepaper with the latest industry research, a Webinar or podcast hosted by you or one of your employees, a coupon or discount for your products or services, or a free consultation. "Try to figure out what might be appealing to your prospects and then test a few different offers to find the one that works best," Volpe says.
3. Make it personal to Generate Leads.
By personalizing communication as much as possible, you can significantly improve response rates. When sending email communications, Volpe suggests segregating email lists into two or three groups based on common interests, geographies, ages or some other criteria. Then customize messages for each group to yield a higher click-through rate. At the very least, remember to use a potential customer's name in all forms of communication.
If you're engaged in a pay-per-click ad campaign, send traffic from each keyword to a different landing page specific to the keyword searched on. "For example, someone who searches on 'accounting consultant' should go to a different page than someone who searches on 'temporary CFO' even if your company provides accounting and financial consulting services for businesses," Volpe says. "Specializing your landing pages generates a higher conversion rate, and you'll get more leads at a lower cost."
4. Bring leads to you.
Volpe says the most effective method for attracting potential customers is inbound marketing—attracting customers from other websites and online tools. This includes building and updating blogs, optimizing websites for search engines and promoting content via online social networks. "[By engaging in inbound marketing], you might be surprised how many more leads find your website and fill out your forms," he says.
Online inbound marketing tactics are more cost-effective than their offline outbound counterparts (think: telemarketing, direct mail and traditional advertising). According to HubSpot's 2009 "State of Inbound Marketing," inbound marketing-dominated companies experience a 61% lower cost per lead than outbound marketing-dominated organizations. ?
5. Test, test and test some more.
The beauty of online lead generation is the ability to constantly test, revise and improve. A print ad or your presence at a tradeshow can't be adapted as easily. Online efforts, on the other hand, can be changed and updated in real time.
Volpe suggests running websites through Website Grader, which offers tips for increasing traffic, optimizing websites for the search engines and enhancing a site's popularity in social media.
I think you should add 6th point as using a click to call solution.In most of the websites there is more than 80% chance for visitors to contact business.And the current available solutions are toll free numbers , click to call , live chat etc. And i find most of there are not worth using. If you can suggest a good one it would be great.
For inbound Lead gen, I agree, the above are the standard best practices. However, inbound does have a waiting period to see leads as well as you do not have a control over what kind of Leads are going to come.
I have been using outbound methods, as in customized emailing to highly targeted niche industries & their decision makers..depicting their website shortcomings and what I could do for them. I am getting fantastic results so far (since a couple of years).
I am sure you could get averagely 5 Leads per day if not more, following my methods. That too with very little work and infrastructure. If anybody wants to know more about my methods in detail please mail me to- oraclea12 at gmail dot com
