Many people these days tend to buy a lot of firewood for several purposes, such as warming up the home, making a barbeque, for making a fire for different reasons, like camping (check out my article about Uses for a survival or camping hatchet or axe)or warming up during the cold weather e.t. But whenever people buy firewood, they usually tend to buy a lot more or bigger stacks so they can be settled during a longer period. So if you are one of those people you might be wondering what would be the best way to store firewood. Well hopefully this article will enlighten you a bit on that subject. There are many ways and areas where you can store firewood, like for example: – in a garage, indoors, outside if you're living in a house, in your apartment, also there is the basement, in a shed, near the house e.t.
Different places where you can store firewood
How do you store firewood inside
When you store firewood inside, before anything else, you have to make sure to inspect the wood before bringing it in. This is essential, because this way you will save all you wood from possible bug infections and other dangers, such as pesticides. Also make sure the wood is dry and when you store it, for your own and others safety, don't put it next to some fire hazard elements. After checking the wood, you can then store it in rows at the place in your home that you meant to put it. That way it will take up a lot less room in your home and it will be better arranged and looking tidier. You can also add some decorations on the sides, depends on how much wood you actually have, but still if you want it to look fancier, adding up some decorations, such as book holders or fireplace tools next to it wouldn't be such a bad idea, just make sure you don't put anything that can potentially cause fire, of course.
- How do you store firewood inside in winter
Well storing wood in winter inside your home is almost the same way as storing firewood in your home every season. The only difference is when it's cold and rainy, you might want to keep your rows of wood stored away from the side of the walls of your home. You can out them in the middle of the room next to the walls, but not on the side walls, because otherwise it could lead to staining, rotting and damaging your walls. Another important thing to remember when storing woods inside, particularly during cold weathers is to always clean the chimneys and the wood stove, because otherwise it could potentially cause fire. Also, never use insecticide to your firewood at home, because the fumes can be harmful to your health. So safety always comes first.
- How do you store firewood inside in summer
Basically, when storing firewood, the same principles are important for the summer and every other weather as well. Only in summer the danger of getting your walls stained or rotten is less likely, due to the lower percentage of rains and cold weather. One more thing to add when storing wood, always use old wood first and store the new wood below the old one. That way you will use the old wood first, stopping it from rotting in your home.
How do you store firewood outside
When storing the wood outside, first pick the right location. Make sure it is dry and protected from rainy days. Next, when you stack the wood, make sure it is a few inches off the ground, that way it will stop from molding and rotting and keep your wood safe. When you stack the wood, make sure it is stacked properly, that way it will take up much less space and it will be arranged better.
- How do you store firewood outside in winter
When storing firewood outside during winter, the same rules apply as mentioned above. You have to choose the right location and the wood has to be stacked properly and in a dry area for better air circulation, as well as it has to be a few inches from the ground, with the old wood stacked first, so that if pesticides and termites or bug attack it first and your new wood would safe. Also during cold weathers, it is very important to cover the wood properly and protect it from the rain, ice and chilly weather, because that way it will stop it from causing moisture.
- How do you store firewood outside in summer
Storing firewood inside in summer is again as previously mentioned almost the same way as the other weathers. The only difference is however, in the fact that during summer, especially being put outside, there is a bigger risk of it being attacked by snakes, rats, lizards and other reptiles, which can damage the wood. But the real problems are really mostly the bugs and the termites are basically the woods biggest enemy. So as a safety measure, keep your wood checked regularly and you can use a bit of insecticide below the old wood to keep the bugs away, but make sure you keep it as far away as possible from people and especially children. That's why wood should be kept as a far as possible from your home, for your own safety.
How to store firewood in a shed, garage, basement or your apartment
If you are planning to keep wood stored in your house, the best place it would probably be the garage or basement, or a shed as well, the further away from your home the better. But if you are planning to keep the wood there, make sure that there are no air connections to the place where you live and that there are no ways for pests to get to the place you are living.
How to store different types of firewood
There are several types of firewood and ways in which you can store them. Here are some of them:
How to store a bulk firewood
Since the risk of getting infected or molded is higher with bulk firewood, it is best to keep it in a larger area with enough sunlight and air coming in. Make sure is isolated nicely as well as far from wet or near to the ground areas. Keep it as dry as possible. This way it should last for at least a few years.
How to store a cut firewood
When you cut firewood, it is best to first measure your wood oven or fireplace and then cut the pieces the right size that would fit them. It is best to cut them all at once the same size and store them in a bigger rack perhaps, so it can be easier for you to use it and it will take up less room as well. Especially during the winter or colder days. So again, store it in a place where it is dry and reachable to use at any time, like a rack with the cut wood pieces near the wood oven or fireplace or a bigger stack with cut pieces stored in the basement or the garage perhaps.
– How to store green firewood
Green firewood is firewood that is not seasoned and has moisture content. The moisture content determines whether the tree is green or not and the moisture is determined by how long the tree has been cut up, dried and split. Everyone who has tried to light green firewood is aware of the frustrations of using it, because of the high moisture intensity and it being wet, it I very hard to keep the fire going. When this wood is in the fire it makes a sizzling sound, which is produced by the energy and heat, caused by the fire and used to evaporate the water from the wood. The best way to store green wood is to first split and stack it in a dry place where it can dry well. This drying process could even take about a year or so, depending on what type of wood we are talking about. So basically, when it comes to green firewood, the wood you are cutting now, would be the firewood you will be using next year. So it is probably best to plan ahead or maybe even avoid using firewood, when it comes to green firewood, because it will save you much time and effort and keep you safer.
How to store seasoned firewood
Seasoned wood is wood that is cut in pieces and let to be cured so that the sap can evaporate out of the wood. You can also be assured that it is seasoned, because you have seasoned it yourself and even though seasoned wood may not always be available when you need it, it is the type of wood similar to the green firewood with which you have to plan ahead, thinking perhaps a year ahead, in order to be able to put it in good use. The best way to store seasoned firewood is to keep it as much as dry as possible and in a safe environment, free from moisture and pests and other types of infections.
How long do you store firewood
Usually the length of how long a wood can last depends on the very type of wood, the climate, it being exposed to different elements e.t. If it is well protected and in good conditions, such as free from bug infestations e.t., it should last for years even, so it all depends on what type of wood and what climate your firewood is surrounded with. If you see that the wood has started to get rotten or slightly fall apart, then it is best to change it or get rid of it.
How long can you store firewood outside
If you put your wood under the right conditions, outside, it should last at least about 3 to 4 years. Make sure it has a good access to air and sunlight as well as dry and you won't have a problem making it last longer. If however you notice your wood has begun to mold or decay, or if it has gotten infected somehow by termites or pests, then it is probably best to get rid of it.
How to store firewood long term
As mentioned previously, the best way to keep your firewood protected for the long term is to keep it safely off the ground and put on a dry area, away from the cold and wet weather, like a concrete or similar and to keep it covered. If you do this it should last for years without a problem.
How to store firewood to avoid termites
In order to keep your firewood away from termites, you must first understand how termites themselves work or in other words function. Termites generally get attracted by 3 things: moisture, cell based material and protection from the sunlight. Also whatever you do, keep your wood away from the ground, especially when it's outside. Termites tend to make a tunnel and by freestanding, about 3 feet or even higher, they will do anything to reach the food source, the moisture source. They are constantly looking for food, they will eat the old wood back and forth and look for new sources as well. So whatever you do try your best to keep it on a dry area and far away from the ground as possible.
How to keep your firewood dry
Keeping your firewood dry is not a difficult task to do. In order to do so, you must put it in an area free from any exposure to wet and cold weather. Then it is best to keep it off the ground. Also if you like to make sure it will stay dry, buy an inexpensive tar paper or a fiberglass tarp, it should help as well. The trick is really to just keep it in the right location and be careful with the weather. The hotter and drier the location the better.
Well we hope this article helped you learn a few things and to better storage your firewood. If you liked it please share it and if you have any comment or something to add, please let us know in the comments bellow. Thank you and Happy Holidays! J

Every actor's hopes and dreams focus on that single word: fame. Known as one of the most difficult professions, it can take a struggling actors years, even decades, to finally land a role, but actor Giuseppe Bausilio is a seasoned pro at age 17.
The son of professional dancers, Giuseppe made his theatrical debut at age 10 starring as Billy in the hit musical Billy Elliot. Astonishingly, Giuseppe, a Swiss citizen, was asked to audition for the role when he barely knew any English! Giuseppe is now fluent in seven languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, Swiss, and German.
After starring on Broadway and touring with Billy Elliot, Bausilio challenged himself with more adult themed roles, such as Melchior in the controversial play Spring Awakening and more recently with The Boy Who Danced On Air. When I asked him about how he dealt with the intimate scenes in Spring Awakening he said, "It was great, I loved it!"
Now returning to the Broadway stage again, Giuseppe assumed the role Race in Newsies and also understudies the second male lead. It was after a recent performance that the energetic (and quite charming) Giuseppe granted me a quick interview.
What do you think is the biggest misconception people have of your life?
Giuseppe: Of my life? I mean, it's awesome being seventeen and all. It is hard work. A lot of people think it's, you know, great, but it definitely is very hard work.
You just finished juggling two shows at once (Irving Berlin's America and Newsies) and you have three scripts (Race in Newsies, Davey in Newsies and Irving Berlin's "visitor" in Irving Berlin's America) running through your head. How did that affect your social life, your family life, and daily routine?
Giuseppe: I didn't have a social life to begin with; now I don't have one at all, but that's OK! I mean, it was stressful at one point. I remember just freaking out at one point. I survived, so it's good!
Finish this sentence: In 10 years, I will be…
Giuseppe: Hopefully super awesomely famous and stay the same, somewhat at least!
* * *
In only a few short years, Giuseppe Bausilio has conquered the Broadway stage not one, but multiple times, and encourages our generation to reach for their dreams and follow their hearts. I look forward to watching this young star's career unfold and I'm sure his "super awesomely famous" years lie just around the corner.

Set Apart as Holy, Useful, and Ready
2 Timothy 2:20-3:9
2nd Sunday During Lent – March 12, 2017 (am)
Paul makes an interesting statement in Phi.212 … work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. For some, the first half of this statement is a stumbling block. We don't earn God's favor. So, hearing of any sort of work being put into our salvation just sounds wrong. For others, the latter half is the stumbling block. If it is God who works in us to accomplish his good pleasure, what keeps us from being robots, mere puppets on a string? In reality, because we've been made alive in Christ by the sovereign grace of God that works in (us) for his good pleasure, we work to cast off every self-willed attitude and action in favor of walking in obedience to Him, enabled by His Spirit. We press hard to cooperate fully with the saving, sanctifying grace He has showered upon us in Christ.
This lesson from the Apostle Paul is a good one to keep in mind as we move into our text (2Ti.2:20-3:9) because we hear a lot about human effort here. Paul is describing the attitudes and actions of those who live (honorably) before God in contrast to those who live (dishonorably). He's giving Timothy instruction on how to help as many as will to press on in the honorable direction, even while reminding him that the dishonorable crowd will always be present, and increasingly so as we move through these last days (3:1).
Having mentioned God's firm foundation (2:19) of the church, which stands even in though it's been invaded by false teachers (17b-18), Paul launches into this teaching on two types of people who inhabit God's great house built on that foundation, raising the question of which type we want to be.
Let's walk through this passage in three steps.
Instruction of the Vessels Fit for Honorable Use – 220-26
Pursue honorable use yourself (20-23).
You heard Paul's opening of this new paragraph: 20 Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. And it doesn't appear that he means gold and silver vessels are for honorable use and wood and clay ones are for dishonorable. Many a (wooden) spoon has been put to honorable use! But so has many a silver spoon. Yet they're hardly interchangeable. The silver spoon is of uniquely honorable use in a formal dining room, while a (wooden) spoon comes in much more handy in a woodshed.
Have you ever looked at yourself compared to others in the church and thought: Wow, they're silver and gold. I'm wood. I'm clay. I can't do what they do. I can't serve like they serve. I can't speak like they speak. I know that feeling. There's many a preacher whom I listen to and think: I can't do what they do in the pulpit. But then I'm reminded of passages like this one—and there are many more—that remind us we're not called to compare ourselves with each other, but just to do what God has called and equipped us to do for the achievement of His purpose through us. Paul wrote to the Corinthians: 2Co.1012 … when (we) measure (our)selves by one another and compare (our)selves with one another, (we) are without understanding. If you're a (wooden) spoon by God's design, God's assignment, don't waste time and energy wishing you were silver or gold. Just be a (wooden) spoon for His glory. And enjoy every minute of it.
That's what Paul is getting at when he writes: 21 Therefore, if anyone—gold, silver, wood, clay—cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. There are all kinds of vessels in the house. And there are all kinds of (uses) for those vessels. Don't fret what you're made of. Just rejoice that you're useful to the master. After all, He's the One Who purchased you for His house.
22 So, how do we do it—give ourselves to the use He's assigned? How do we Phi.212 … work out (our) own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 (knowing) it is God who works in (us), both to will and to work for his good pleasure? Paul tells us here: 22 … flee youthful passions—run from dishonorable (uses)! Run from self-serving, self-gratifying aims—and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Turn away from the desires of the flesh, and engage with the church in the work of God's Kingdom. Engage with all the brothers and sisters who are in Christ by faith. Seek first his kingdom and righteousness (Mat.6:33) together.
23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. We need to pause here for a moment. This is the second time this word quarrels has appeared in this passage (14, 23), both times as something to avoid. We talked last week about not giving the time of day to irreverent babble that leads people into more and more ungodliness (16) and (spreads) like gangrene (17). And Paul says it again here: 23 Have nothing to do with these foolish, ignorant controversies…. But that's raised a question for several of you: Do we engage any false ideas? Answer: Yes, of course we do. If we're proclaiming the gospel in this day and age, we surely will! But what we avoid, what we don't give the time of day to, are quarrels about such ideas. And that's just where Paul goes next. He urges Timothy to…
Call others to honorable use (24-26).
24 … The Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. Don't get dragged into ugly quarrels over false ideas, Jam.1 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Rather, engage them (patiently), (gently), trusting God to work. (He) may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. That would be excellent! God may use us to others into honorable use, just as He's done through others in us!
Description of the Vessels Fit for Dishonorable Use – 31-9
31 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. Not everyone will respond to our gospel witness. Not everyone will be redirected by our (patient), (gentle correction) (2:24-5) 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, (We could define each of these words to add nuance to Paul's description of the escalating difficulty in the last days, but I think he's done a pretty good job painting a picture here that communicates even without added nuance!) 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, any questions? Now, here's the kicker: 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. This is pretend religion: a few elements of the truth, but separated from the true power of God—like cut flowers, a corpse dressed up for the casket. Yet, people prefer this—relentlessly self-driven, and determined to win the day.
And when this is where they are, there's no way to engage them without quarreling. When people caught in this sort of attitude and action are challenged, they don't know any other way to respond. They don't want to change! And they don't want to hear from anyone who thinks they should! So, Paul writes: 5 … Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions. So, the people we avoid are not the ones who are interested in testing their ideas and actually finding the truth. They're the ones who prey on the most vulnerable ones in the church, those who are 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. These guys aren't interested in truth themselves. And as they talk to others, truth is always just around the next corner. It's like a religious soap opera where satisfying resolution just never arrives. Truth never arrives. If it does, something went wrong. And they're out of work!
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth…. Jannes and Jambres aren't mentioned anywhere else in Scripture. But they are mentioned in the Targum of Jonathan, (a Jewish commentary) on Exo.711 (Then Pharaoh summoned the wise men and the sorcerers, and they, the magicians of Egypt, also did the same by their secret arts.). They were Pharaoh's magicians who imitated the early signs Moses gave to prove he was from God—like casting down his staff and having it turn into a serpent—so Timothy would've known their names (Guthrie 177). And like them, these false teachers in Ephesus are 8 … men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of (Jannes and Jambres). They were fighting a losing battle! And so is anyone like them!
What do we gain from this passage? – 221
We've seen in this extended passage a description of two types of people: those fit for honorable use by God, and those fit for dishonorable use. Part of the work of those fit for honorable use is to (correct) his opponents with gentleness and (patience) (2:24-5). And that is no small assignment! The long list that opens c.3 give us a clear sense of how increasingly entrenched in (dishonor) our opponents actually are.
But our calling is still clearer. And we get a concise and helpful word on just what to do back in vv.21-25, especially in v.21. Vv.22-25 give us the concrete instruction on what to do once we've heard the big picture aim. But that aim is expressed in v.21: If anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. Tell me that's not the desire of your heart today: to be set apart by God as holy, useful to (Him), and ready for every good work!
But doesn't it sound here like each of us has to get there on his own? Doesn't Paul clearly say: If anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable he will be a vessel for honorable use? Yes, he does. But it's within the context of this whole letter, not to mention the whole of Scripture, that we understand his meaning here. This is Paul just emphasizing the first part of what he wrote to the Philippians: 212 … work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. But we've seen the rest of the picture right here in 2Ti., even right here in this passage (26). What is true for others is also true for us: it's only God Who can grant us repentance leading to a knowledge and experience of the truth.
But we've also seen it from the very beginning of this letter: it is 17 … God Who gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. It is God 19 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began. And it is God who secures our eternal destiny: 112 … for I know whom I have believed, Paul wrote, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me. Phi.213 For it is God who works in (us), both to will and to work for his good pleasure. And, my friends, that is the good news today!
God has already done what is required for us to 21 … (cleanse ourselves) from what is dishonorable and to be set apart as holy, useful to the master…, and ready for every good work. Whether you're made of gold and silver or wood and clay, it makes no difference. The God of our salvation—the God of all creation—has opened the way for you, here and now, in this life, to be set apart as holy—think of that!—to be useful to (Him). There are those among us whose deepest longing in life is to be useful to anyone. In Christ, we become useful to God Himself—men, women, boys, girls, rich, poor, healthy, infirmed. In Christ we can be useful. God Himself says so, right here!
In Christ we can be ready for every good work. So, once again, how do we do it? We receive and cooperate with the work God has already done, and is still doing, in us for his good pleasure (Phi.2:13). We 22 … flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. We 23 have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies… that they breed quarrels. 24 And (we are) not… quarrelsome but are kind to everyone, (teaching them), patiently enduring evil, and 25 correcting (them) with gentleness, trusting that God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth. Then, by His grace He will actually be doing through us to them what He's already doing in us. This is just what was needed in Ephesus back then, and it is surely what is needed in our day today.

Part 2 of the writing process covers the main 'write-edit' feedback loop and summarises how important it is to manage your internal critic whilst composing music.
Knowing more music theory does not make you a good songwriter or composer. But there are people who know a good amount of music theory and are great writers and hardly ever struggle with writers block. So what's going on? What is it that allows someone to consistently write great music?
The process of composition doesn't have to be completely illusive. Most composers follow some form of stages. In this guide we go over the first few stages to get you started composing music effectively.
Transcribing music is possibly THE most powerful thing you can do to fast track yourself to becoming the musician you trully want to be.
An organically growing post to keep track of all the areas of musical development that I think are relevant to a modern, practicing musician or composer.
I recently watched an interview with Matt Garska, an absolute beast of a drummer. He brought to light some really timeless and simple principles for efficient practice, from a drummer's perspective. The video is a good hour or so long, so I thought I'd summarise it for you here.

Don't Stress, Ace the Test!

There's no doubt about it, high school students are familiar with stress. From school and homework to relationships and home life, there is constant pressure on students to succeed in all areas of their lives.
"School is probably the most stressful area of my life right now because we come to school for seven hours and then we get three or four more hours of homework to do when we get home," Cody Sasse (10) said.
This constant workload can be difficult for students to handle, especially those who are in after school activities (like sports) that meet almost every day or clubs that meet once a week.
"My activities can be really hard to fit in with all of my other work," Emma Bennet (9) said.
With such a large workload, students often find themselves overwhelmed. Luckily, there are several ways to reduce or release these frustrations and focus on the work without panicking.
"For me, the best way to relax is music, whether I'm playing an instrument or just listening to my favorite songs," Sasse said.
It is scientifically proven that taking a break for some music, tea, exercise, a nap, or just talking to someone can all calm people that are overwhelmed. However, the most surefire way to increase stress is to procrastinate: so taking a few breaks is helpful, but work should get done as quickly as possible.

Consultants have been appointed to review future plans for Horsham's Capitol Theatre following proposals to open a new cinema in the town.
Members of the town watchdog group The Horsham Society say that they think greater use could be made of The Capitol bulding for live theatre, films and use by stage and dance schools, along with local musicians.
A new 'Everyman' cinema is currently under construction as part of the multi-million-pound redevelopment of Piries Place in Horsham's town centre.
Horsham Society members say among new opportunites open to The Capitol could be a chance to encourage more local schools to use The Capitol instead of treavelling over to Crawley to use The Hawth theatre there.
In a report to members, the Society says The Capitol would also benefit from a 'more appropriate' bar and cafe and improved seating in the main theatre.
"The Capitol would bnefit from greater marketing of both the town and the theatre", says the society. "In particular it should be possible to attract visitors from Crawley.
"In addition, a good schools programme of events should be developed, encouraging more use by schools, rather than them using The Hawth. This also has the effect of children appreciating their local theatre."
Society members also say that a degree of financial subsidy for the Capitol is justified in view of its cultural importance and its 'value of sustaining a strong sense of community and having a high level of social activity within the town.'
Its need for subsidy would diminish as the town grows 'and the theatre establishes itself through improved programmes and stronger marketing and perhaps donations from friends.'

The town goes to the Springfield Botanical Gardens to see the blooming of a Sumatran Century Flower. Because the huge crowd is exactly one person over the maximum legal capacity, Chief Wiggum decides to eject the already unpopular and bitter Moe from the ceremony. However, this otherwise unwelcoming gesture is a blessing in disguise, as when the flower opens, it emits a horrible smell, sickening the townspeople and causing them to flee. When the townspeople starts to drive away from the Botanical Gardens, the Simpsons become trapped in a traffic jam. Homer is informed by Lisa that the traffic is moving, however he accelerates too hard and hits the brakes suddenly. The force sends Maggie flying through the sunroof after her safety belt breaks. Moe, who is incidentally standing depressed on the edge of a bridge about to jump and commit suicide, accidentally catches Maggie just as she is about to fall into the river below the bridge. Moe is then instantly declared a hero, much to his surprise.
The Simpsons let Moe babysit Maggie all the time and she is instantly attached to him. After a while, Marge is happy that she has had plenty of time to get things done, but Homer feels left out of Maggie's life and worries because she is his last chance to be a good father. Later, Moe tells Maggie the story of The Godfather. When he gets to the part where Don Corleone plays with his grandson, Moe demonstrates how the Don scares him by sticking a cut-up orange in his mouth, and Maggie enjoys it. When it comes to Maggie's birthday party, Moe annoys everyone with his behavior and his gift to Maggie: a toy-sized rendition of his bar, featuring "Classic Drunk Barney" and "Drunk Talking Homer". Marge and Homer later learn that Moe has installed his own baby-monitoring system in Maggie's room and they decide that they have had enough, and as a result, they bar Moe from their house for good.
Moe reverts to being depressed, to the point of him imagining the barflies as Maggie. One night, the family is asleep, and Maggie wakes up and hears the mafia outside the house, plotting to kill the Castellaneta family. When one of the mobsters feels hesitant, Fat Tony does the Godfather-orange routine to cheer him up, and Maggie recognizes it. She decides to follow the mobsters. When Homer and Marge find her missing, they automatically assume that Moe kidnapped her, and they track him down. They see Moe at his oven, and they think that Maggie is inside (it turns out to really be a ham). When Moe is told that Maggie is missing, his request to help find her is granted by Homer. The group decides to search the Simpsons' house yard. They find the cut-up orange that was used by Fat Tony, and Moe works out that Maggie must have followed them.
Maggie follows the mobsters to Luigi's, where Fat Tony's gang and the Castellanetas are having a meeting. Maggie enters the restaurant where the two gangs are about to start a gun battle. The situation deteriorates when both groups of mobsters are aiming weapons at each other and Maggie is in the middle of an "Italian-American Mexican standoff". Homer, Marge and Moe are standing outside and Moe decides to go inside and save Maggie. Moe goes inside, and to prevent being shot, tells the gangsters about Maggie's innocence and how it redeemed his life. They start to cry, and Moe and Maggie are safe to leave. The family apologizes for their injustice against Moe in the end, and Homer and Moe decide to have a "playdate": Homer spends quality time with the ham, and Moe spends more time with Maggie.

#1 UVa. baseball listless in 8-1 loss at ODU
The No. 1-ranked UVa. baseball team fell 8-1 to Old Dominion Tuesday evening in blustery conditions at Harbor Park in Norfolk, Va. Virginia (37-9) was ranked No. 2 nationally with a .985 fielding percentage coming into the game but committed a season-high four errors. UVa finished with just four hits in the game, which was played in a steady mist and winds blowing straight in at up to 30 mph.
Virginia starting pitcher Artie Lewicki (Sr., Wyckoff, N.J.) worked six innings, allowing four runs (two earned) and five hits. Lewicki (3-1) did not walk a batter and struck out six in taking the loss.
ODU starter Brett Harris (1-1) pitched five innings, giving up a run, three hits and one walk while striking out one to earn the win.
Virginia scored first in the second inning. Joe McCarthy (So., Scranton, Pa.) led off with a double and scored following back-to-back singles from Nick Howard (Jr., Olney, Md.) and John La Prise (So., Exton, Pa.). UVa then loaded the bases with one out, but a double play ended the threat, and the Cavaliers recorded just one more hit the rest of the game. La Prise finished with two of UVa's hits.
ODU (27-18) took advantage of a pair of Virginia miscues to score twice in the third inning. With one out Tyler Urps singled. After Nick Walker reached on a fielder's choice for the second out, Ben Slaton hit a dribbler down the first-base line that Lewicki mishandled for an error. P.J. Higgins then hit a high infield pop toward the right side of the infield; the ball blew back behind first base where La Prise dropped it near the line for an error, allowing two runs to score.
The Monarchs tacked on two runs in the sixth inning with a pair of two-out RBI hits. With one out Taylor Ostrich singled, and he scored on a two-out triple to right by Josh Eldridge. Connor Myers then hustled out an infield single to bring Eldridge home.
ODU scored four insurance runs in the eighth inning, all with two out on two-run doubles by Myers and Walker against reliever Connor Jones (Fr., Chesapeake, Va.).
Virginia heads into a weeklong break for final exams and is next in action May 7 at home against No. 22 Liberty.

Feeding the world's growing population
New Zealand's reputation as a quality food producer is growing.
New Zealand's reputation as a quality food producer is growing.
Over the next 50 years farmers around the world will need to produce more food than has been grown over the past 10,000 years.
Fertiliser helps farmers produce food efficiently by replenishing the soil. But fertiliser needs to be used responsibly.
The Fertiliser Association invests in research and tools to ensure farm profitability while minimising nutrient losses to the environment.
The Fertiliser Association of New Zealand promotes and encourages responsible and scientifically-based nutrient management.
More than 15,000 New Zealanders and organisations have had their say on the Government's proposals for the Zero Carbon Bill. The agricultural sector was among these voices and expressed clear support for a target for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The question is, what target is realistic for the sector and what is the best way to achieve it?
The Fertiliser Association is a member of the Biological Emissions Reference Group (BERG), chaired by the Ministry of Primary Industries and DairyNZ. Its recent report sets out the evidence on what the sector can do on-farm to reduce emissions and assess the costs and opportunities. Based on the discussions that have taken place, the Fertiliser Association feels that any new policies that are introduced will need to support farmers' and growers' decisions on the ground. Any regulated measures will need to be both manageable and achievable. It will be important to enable farmers to retain clear control and flexibility over how they manage their farms to respond to policy and market signals into the future.
New Zealand's total agricultural greenhouse gas emissions have increased since 1990 as overall production has grown in response to international demand. However, it is worth noting that New Zealand farms have already achieved enormous efficiency gains and are considered leading edge globally. According to the BERG report, released this month, sheep, beef and dairy farmers have made considerable improvements to the way they have delivered their products since 1990. They have made improvements to feed and nutrition, animal genetics and pasture management, and increased their use of technology and information. Without these improvements, agricultural emissions would have risen by almost 40 percent. Instead they grew by 16 percent and, since 2005, total agricultural emissions have remained relatively constant.
There is significant research and development underway to provide options for farmers to further reduce their on-farm emissions. The Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium has been researching the creation of a methane vaccine and methane inhibitors for livestock. The dairy industry is also playing its part through the 2017 Dairy Action for Climate Change strategy. This includes commitments to building capability of rural professionals through professional training courses, raising the awareness of farmers, and undertaking dairy farm greenhouse gas pilot case studies. The Nutrient Management Adviser Certification Programme, an industry-wide certification programme targeted at those who provide nutrient management advice to New Zealand farmers, has introduced an endorsement for greenhouse gas mitigation for advisers.
It's measures such as these that will begin to make a difference.
So, how much further can we take it? The key word in this puzzle is innovation. The fertiliser industry will continue to work across the sectors on precision farming and nutrient efficiency, with a focus on adopting new technologies to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. It will be impossible to achieve change overnight.
A key consideration of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change is to reduce global emissions while still providing for food security. We need to bring the world with us on this issue. No other countries currently have regulated for agricultural emissions. As New Zealand is likely to be the first to introduce regulations, the trade risk is very real. We don't want to be displaced in our key markets by cheaper products from other countries that have a higher carbon footprint. Until comparable regulation is introduced for the majority of trading partners internationally the agricultural industry will require some level of protection.
There is real potential for New Zealand to be world leaders in managing agricultural emissions. We have the opportunity to help write the rule book and develop viable solutions, rather than have unfavourable solutions imposed on our New Zealand economy. In the short term we need to build systems that enable us to understand our emissions and the reductions that are possible.
This transition will only be possible with clear signals, good advice, innovation, smart choices and New Zealand's customers placing value on our efficient production systems. New Zealand's challenge will be to provide support to the primary sector during this time of transition to achieve the best outcomes, both for our farmers, our growers and for our planet.
The Fertiliser Association of New Zealand and Dairy NZ funded development of the Nutrient Management Adviser Certification Programme (NMACP). This industry-wide certification aims to ensure that advisers have the learning, experience and capability to give sound nutrient advice.
7 June 2019
We have received questions recently about whether it is appropriate to apply phosphate (P) fertiliser during the winter months. As a result, the Fertiliser Association has produced an advisory with good management practice principles.
17 April 2019
Soil scientists have reached a new milestone, digitally mapping more than 8 million hectares of New Zealand soils.

COD Football Sophomore defensive lineman Datona Jackson (Union City, OH Mississinawa Valley) has signed a letter of intent with the University of California, Los Angeles.
The 6-4, 270 pound defensive lineman from Mississinawa Valley High School in Union City, Ohio was named the Region IV All-California First Team Defense and first team All-Mountain Conference in his sophomore season of 2018. Jackson placed 2nd in conference and 15th in state in sacks with 8 on the season. Forcing a total of 51 yardage loss on his opponents, he placed 2nd in conference and 20th state. Jackson wore #58 in his freshman campaign with the Roadrunners then put on #8 in his sophomore season. He was selected the SCFA-Offensive Player of the Week for Jackson's performance at home on September 15 versus Cerritos, where he collected 8 tackles and 2 sacks resulting in a loss of 13 yards for his opponents.
Jackson stated the reasons he chose to join the Bruins, commenting, "They have like a world class degree so that was one of the main reasons and the coaching staff there was probably my favorite of all the schools I went to and those two things separated UCLA from every other school."
Roadrunners Athletic Counselor, Angel Meraz, and UCLA Class of 2004, was beyond excited that a student of hers would be menacing opposing offences on the field at the Rose Bowl beginning in 2019. "This is what you hope for, a student athlete, looking for an opportunity, building up their academic acumen, developing their athletic skill sets and then taking those gifts to the next level," commented Meraz. "And the fact that Datona has the opportunity to continue his education at an institution in which I, and many others in The Valley, are alums of, is even better. I think I need to get my season-ticket deposit in before Christmas."
Jackson commenting about his time with the Roadrunners, stating, "It was good. I'm glad I made my choice here, because I thought about going to another Community College before I came here, but everything turned out the way I wanted it to so I'm glad and if I had the option to do it again, I would."
The signing with UCLA represents one of the larger signings in program history for the Roadrunners, the most recent "Power Five" signing was former quarterback Stephen Johnson II, who signed with the Kentucky Wildcats in 2016 and led them to a Music City Bowl appearance in 2017. The most recent "Power Five" defensive signing was linebacker Robert Caldwell in 2012, who joined NC State.
Under fifth-year head coach Jack Steptoe, Desert finished the regular season with a record 4-6 overall and 2-3 in conference. The team was bestowed with four first team All-Mountain Conference honors and four second team All-Mountain Conference honors.
Coach Steptoe said, "It's pretty exciting to be here today and watch Datona sign with a Division One school." Continuing with, "(Datona) is a fantastic man, just a good gentleman, great character, works hard, really bared down within a year and a half to be able to graduate."
The University of California, Los Angeles is located in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westwood. The UCLA Bruins play their home games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and the team is coached by 2nd year veteran head coach, Chip Kelly. In the 2018 season, the Bruins concluded the year with a 3-9 overall record, with one of those key wins coming at the expense of crosstown rival, the University of Southern California (USC). The Bruins would finish 2018 with a 3-6 record in Conference play, finishing fifth in the South Division. The Bruins are in the Pacific-12 (Pac-12) of the NCAA Division I.

- contralarryAsked on September 26, 2017 at 12:05 PM
I created several forms a year ago and they worked fine for a long time. I haven't needed them for a number of months, and now that I do, I find that they no longer work and the Jotform interface appears to have completely changed so that I no longer know how to make forms (I had gotten pretty good at it last fall). I need some quick help to make the forms work again.
There are three forms: A master form that gives people a choice of two options (one-time donation or recurring monthly donation), and then two other forms that come up depending on which choice is made on the first one. When I choose either one-time donation or recurring monthly donation from the master form, something strange comes up that looks like a small piece of the corresponding correct form, but not the whole thing.
Can someone point me to what has broken and how to fix it?
- TREVONAnswered on September 26, 2017 at 01:08 PM
Apologies for the challenges you are experiencing. I think I know where the challenge is based on your explanation. One is the form layout has changed and you need to change the form layout to "Legacy layout" from the current "New Layout". To do so kindly follow process as shown in the demo below:
Two I have checked your form and you are using and iframe widget and the default height and width of this widget is very small hence can not display the embedded form properly. You need to change the height and width to dimensions that display the embedded form properly. Kindly see demo below on how to do this.
You can also clone my form below
To clone form kindly use the guide below:
Hope this information was helpful. Thank you
- contralarryAnswered on September 26, 2017 at 01:44 PM
I have attempted to change from New Layout to Legacy Layout, but there is no such choice is the settings for my forms. There is no Form Layout option.
- JotForm SupportNik_CAnswered on September 26, 2017 at 02:37 PM
Your form's layouts are ok. I checked both of the embedded forms and they are fine:
I increased the width and height of the "One-Time Donation" form:
You can do the same with "Recurring Monthly Donation" form and adjust the width/height as needed.
If you have any further questions or had something else in mind please let us know.
Thank you!
- contralarryAnswered on September 26, 2017 at 03:34 PM
Thanks. I tried to increase the Recurring Monthly Donation form size to the same as the One-Time Donation, but it continues to show up narrower in my browser.
- JotForm SupportMike_GAnswered on September 26, 2017 at 03:53 PM
I was able to see the issue you described when I viewed the form on the website you shared with us and even from its direct link. However, since I was not able to reproduce the same issue on a clone version of your form, I tried clearing your form's cache — How-to-Clear-your-Form-Cache and I believe that fixed the issue.
Please check your form again and let us know if you need any further assistance.
- contralarryAnswered on September 26, 2017 at 04:02 PM
Thank you. Your support is outstanding.

[Ed. – They apparently weren't listening when his nibs declared the ACA an unqualified success.]
Obamacare will cost large companies between $4,800 and $5,900 more per employee and add hundreds of millions to their overhead, according to a new survey.
The American Health Policy Institute conducted a confidential survey of 100 large employers—those with 10,000 or more employees—asking what costs they expect to incur from Obamacare over the next decade.
Factoring in the health care law's added mandates, fees, and regulatory burdens, employers anticipate cost hikes between $163 million and $200 million in 2016, a 4.3 percent increase. By 2023, employers will be paying 8.4 percent more than "what they would otherwise be spending" for their employees' health care.
Trending: Gaffe machine Joe Biden's latest: 'No one needs 100 clips in a weapon'
In the next 10 years, the total cost of Obamacare to all large American employers is estimated to be from $151 billion to $186 billion, according to the study.

Bike and shop thanks to new city cycle racks
Hundreds of cycle racks are set to be installed across Edinburgh as part of an ongoing project to increase bike parking.
The second phase of the scheme will see 233 racks – providing 466 spaces - put in place on some of the city's key thoroughfares, including Princes Street, Leith Walk and Nicolson Street.
This follows the installation of 400 racks offering short term parking during 2016 in locations which were selected based on public feedback.
Transport and Environment Convener, Councillor Lesley Hinds, said: "We are absolutely committed to encouraging cycling as a healthy, sustainable and environmentally-friendly mode of transport in Edinburgh.
"The public have told us that access to parking is really important when considering travel by bike and that's why we're installing these brand new racks, which have already proven popular in the first phase of the roll-out.
"We now plan to introduce racks to some of the city's most-visited streets to enable cyclists the opportunity to experience all that's on offer by bike."
The project will also see improvements made to Forrest Road, in partnership with the local neighbourhood locality, where work will be carried out to remove street clutter and reinstate trees in addition to new bike racks.
The initiative to increase bike parking has been jointly funded by Sustrans, who manage funding for Transport Scotland, the Scottish Government's transport agency.
Amongst the new racks there will be 27 installed along Princes Street (providing 54 spaces), four on Elm Row and Leith Walk and two on the High Street section of the Royal Mile.
During 2016/17 the Council is spending 9% of its Transport budget on cycling, following a pledge in 2012 to increase the proportion by 1% each year – starting at 5% in 2012/13.
Funding enables projects designed to encourage the take-up of cycling, such as the development of segregated cycle lanes and improved cycle safety infrastructure. It is estimated that the proportion of journeys made to work made by bike is currently 7.3% - up by around 50% since 2011.
Installation of bike racks is currently underway and will run until mid-March.
Bike racks will be installed at:
Athol Crescent
Bernard Street
Birtwell Crescent
Blackford Pond (entrance)
Brandon Street
Conference Square
Craigentinny Avenue
Craiglockhart Terrace
Elm Row
Eyre Place
Gorgie Road

I made this Pomegranate White Chocolate Almond Scone recipe before Christmas and loved it so much that I still wanted to share it with you now.
I've been making scones a lot more ever since I purchased this ceramic scone pan from World Market this past Fall. I don't know about you, but I was never able to cut them all to be the same size and this eliminates struggling with that part of making scones and they can even be served straight from the pan.
I didn't have almonds on hand, but still really enjoyed this recipe that follows which I found here. I also cook my scones a little longer than the recipe calls for in this pan so this one was cooked for 20 minutes and they turned out perfect!
Pomegranate White Chocolate Almond Scones
A buttery, flaky scone bursting with juicy and tart pomegranates, white
chocolate chips, and slivered almonds!
Author: Sarah @ The Gold Lining Girl
Recipe type: Breakfast - sweet

2½ c. flour
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. baking powder
dash of salt

⅓ c. slivered almonds
1 c. pomegranate seeds
2 eggs, lightly beaten
½ c. eggnog or half-and-half
1 tsp. almond extract
1-2 tbsp. eggnog or half-and-half, for brushing scones
sugar, for sprinkling
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Using a pastry blender or a knife, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
3. Add in white chocolate chips and slivered almonds, tossing to combine well.
4. Carefully fold in pomegranate seeds.
5. In a small bowl, stir together eggs, eggnog, and almond extract.
6. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour the egg mixture into the well.
7. Turn dough out onto a generously floured surface, and knead dough 6-8 times, slowly forming it into a
large ball.
8. Place onto a greased baking sheet, and carefully flatten the ball into a large disk, about ¾-inch thick.
9. Cut into 8 wedges, and gently pull the wedges slightly apart.
10. Brush each scone lightly with eggnog, and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar.
11. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

Prayer For Oct. 15th
Hello, Friends! Here is the prayer for today…
Dear Heavenly Father,
You know everything about us. You know when we rest and when we rise, you know everything that will happen today and every decision we will face. You are in control of every circumstance, hassle, inconvenience and trouble that will or will not come our way… we won't know this side of heaven how many things we have been protected from… how many near misses and accidents were averted…how many times you anticipated our need and provided without us asking…you are so fully present in our lives that we need not worry or be anxious…you are our defender and protector, our healer and provider… you hold all of creation in your hands… no leaf or sparrow falls from a tree without you knowing about it…may we find rest, relief and comfort knowing that you go before us today and every day.
Lord, please help us to not worry about the things that people think, or speak about us…help us to be able to shut our minds down at night and find peaceful sleep. We all have legitimate concerns and things that must be dealt with, but you do not want us to worry…you don't want us to struggle to carry the weight of burdens that we were never meant to carry…for anyone who is struggling to let go of worry, please help them to remember that you already have figured out a solution to every problem…you already have the when and the how worked out for each situation of our lives. Please bind the enemy from using things against us to rob us of our peace, joy and rest in you.
Lord, for everyone who has a hurting heart, may they find comfort…for those who are raw with pain and grief from loss…for those who are struggling to pick up the pieces of their lives…for those who are ill or injured and for those who are taking care of someone who is ill/injured/disabled…for all who are feeling overwhelmed or overworked…for those who are frustrated by all that is not getting done … please come beside them, Lord…may they feel your Holy Spirit comfort them …may they renew their strength, courage and hope and find your joy in the midst of the dry, barren places they find themselves in.
In the stillness of this moment, with arms wide open and a heart ready to receive, we ask to breathe in your Spirit and exhale any stress, anger, cares, worries, anxious thoughts or frustrations. We pray to be filled with your joy and peace until our cups are overflowing. We thank you and praise you, Lord. We love you and thank you that we can pray and ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen
Wishing you a blessed and peaceful weekend!

based on Luke 2:29-32
Source of all rest and peace, dismiss me now into my evening's quiet,
You have promised no less and so much more.
We are witnesses to your salvation,
Which You did for all people and continue to make inviting and effective.
The Living Word is open for all to perceive and trust,
It is the ground of our faith and hope.
Those who trust in God's revelation find an anchor for their souls.
Source of all rest and peace, dismiss us now into our evening's harbor-
Adrift no more,
At home in You.

Canada: Water deficits forecast to downgrade in the Prairie Provinces
25 June 2018
The 12-month outlook for Canada through February 2019 (below) indicates water deficits of varying intensity in many parts of the country, with the exception of southern British Columbia and northwestern Saskatchewan into Alberta, where intense surpluses are expected.
Deficits are forecast to be intense in a large block of eastern Quebec from the Caniapiscau Reservoir to the St. Lawrence River, and around Lake Mistassini in central Quebec; Ontario's eastern border; and, northeastern Manitoba and north of Lake Winnipeg. In the West, significant deficits are forecast for the Lower Athabasca and Lower Peace River regions of Alberta, and a large pocket in British Columbia (BC) surrounding Prince George.
Surplus conditions are expected in a large block of northwestern Saskatchewan around Churchill Lake westward to Fort McMurray, Alberta; and surrounding Kamloops and Kelowna, BC.
The 3-month maps (below) show the evolving conditions in more detail.
The forecast through August indicates a significant retreat of exceptional deficits in the center of the country. In Ontario, however, exceptional deficits will persist in a path along its eastern border leading to the south end of Georgian Bay. Northwest of Lake Superior, a transition from deficit to surplus is forecast. In Southern Ontario, surpluses are expected northwest of Toronto, and moderate deficits are forecast from Peterborough to Ottawa. In Quebec, deficits will be extreme around Sherbrooke, and exceptional near Lake Mistassini and from the Caniapiscau Reservoir to the St. Lawrence River. The area east of Hudson Bay will transition from surplus to mild deficit. Deficits are forecast for the remainder of the province with the exception of a wide path west of the St. Lawrence River exhibiting conditions of both deficit and surplus.
In the Prairie Provinces, moderate deficits are forecast for southern Saskatchewan but deficits may be severe in southern Manitoba. Even more intense deficits are forecast north of Lake Winnipeg and around Hudson Bay in Manitoba, and in the Upper Athabasca and Lower Peace River Regions of Alberta. Deficits will also be intense surrounding Prince George, BC and in northern BC. Surpluses will increase in southern BC and across the border into southwestern Alberta, and will reach exceptional levels around Kamloops and Kelowna. Exceptional surpluses will also increase in northwestern Saskatchewan, reaching west to Fort McMurray, Alberta.
From September through November, deficits nationwide are expected to moderate, though intense deficits will persist in some areas, including Prince George, BC. Surpluses will downgrade near Kamloops but will remain exceptional near Kelowna, BC. The large block of intense surpluses in northern Alberta into Saskatchewan will persist but will begin to transition as deficits emerge. Deficits in southern Manitoba will downgrade from severe to moderate, and deficits in southern Saskatchewan will become merely mild.
The forecast for the final three months – December through February – indicates mild anomalies overall, with moderate deficits in central Quebec; northern Ontario; along the North Saskatchewan, Athabasca, and Peace Rivers in the West; and northern and central BC. Significant surpluses are forecast to persist around Kelowna.
(It should be noted that forecast skill declines with longer lead times.)
By mid-May, Winnipeg in southern Manitoba was experiencing its driest conditions in nearly 40 years, prompting one local community to ban water use in pools, lawns, and hot tubs, and forcing provincial officials to contemplate a fire ban. Some rainfall later in the month improved soil moisture for germination and greened up pastures but failed to alleviate overall drought conditions.
In southern Saskatchewan, farmers who were praying for rain mere weeks ago saw more from one storm that finally arrived in early June than they had seen since June of last year, threatening lentil crops.
Emergency officials in British Columbia say that the time gap between flood season and wildfire season has shrunk in the last decade. The province, areas of which are still evacuated due to flood risk, is now at risk of summer drought after its snowpack melted earlier than normal. Summer temperatures will largely determine how fast the remaining snowpack melts, and thus how quickly stream levels diminish.
At least 71 people remain displaced from their homes after severe New Brunswick floods in April and May. Over 2,600 people have applied for disaster assistance, and over 100 have been advanced federal funds. Some Canadian scientists, specialists in hydrology and climate change adaptation, say that New Brunswick should do more to prepare in advance for flooding disasters, as changing climatic patterns may be increasing the frequencies and severity of flood events.
