Easy Cellar Stockpiling Food Guide
"Go deep/' they said. "Don't bother/' I said.
For years, experts said your garden soil had to be improved at least
12 inches deep; some even said 18 inches. But my experiments were \V7 t
We owe much proving otherwise, especially when 1 used good homemade compost as one-third of the mix. I asked myself, "If six inches of perfect soil is °T our tOVC OJ
good enough for windowboxes and commercial greenhouse benches, gardening to the why not in backyard gardens?" And why dilute it by adding the mix simplicity of SFG."
to poor existing soil? Why not use this perfect soil mix in your garden ,, . r ^
r ° - r . —Manja from Oregon and forget all about the soil underneath? Well, the experts still pooh-poohed the idea. But guess what? It works! Of course, everyone realizes that you couldn't do that in a huge, old-fashioned, single-row garden or even in raised bed gardening, but it can easily be done in a small-space Square Foot Garden!
("an you really grow vegetables and flowers in only 6 inches of soil regardless of how good it is? I've been doing it for the last ten years in my display and home garden, and it really works. Of course in my lectures when I mention the 6 inches, I can see the audience squirming in their seats, heads shaking and hands rising with the usual question, "How can you grow long carrots or potatoes in just 6 inches of soil?" It's a good question, so we developed a special feature of SFG where you build a 1-foot X 1 -foot box one foot tall for crops that grow in the ground.
Why only 6 inches deep? Why not be safer and go 12 inches deep? The main reason is there is no need to do so. In addition, it is much cheaper, easier, and less work. Just think—it is one-half of the cost and one-half of the work, so why double the depth? But if you're still skeptical go ahead and use your time and money to go 12 inches deep, but it's really not necessary.
The next question is, "How come all of the experts have been so wrong for so long?" It is not that they were wrong, it is just everyone in the garden industry had trouble thinking outside the box or even questioning all the traditional methods. Stuck in a rut they were and in a single-row rut at that!
Here's another startling revelation I am going to make. It is going to shock and dismay the gardening world, but you are going to love it.
5 No Fertilizer—You Don't Need It
Square Foot Gardening needs no fertilizer ever! How can that be? After all, the gardening industry is built on using fertilizer. The original SFG book explained all about fertilizer—organic and chemical types—how to measure and rate it; all about NPK and what that means; and the list goes on and on. That was necessary because at that time we were just improving our existing soils, and they still needed fertilizer. All the experts agreed. But my own experiments and thoughts about an all new out-of-the-box idea of not improving your existing soil but rather of starting with a perfect soil mix was working so well that I began to consider another new idea—that you don't need to add fertilizer. The compost was providing all of the nutrients and trace elements the plants needed. Besides, compost was all-natural and couldn't burn or harm the plants. The proof of the pudding was to just look at my garden. It was one of the best gardens I have ever had and has remained so ever since.
This was when I was able to simplify my original book's formula for the perfect soil mix to only three ingredients: V3 each of peat moss, vermiculite, and blended compost and completely eliminate the use and expense of fertilizer. So much simpler than the original one-page formula and what a savings!
Well, again, all the experts pooh-poohed the idea and still do, but guess what? It works! I haven't used any kind of fertilizer in my home, display, or demonstration gardens for more than ten years. If you go to our website at www.squarefootgardening.com, you'll see how bountiful and beautiful the gardens look. And this is not just gardening the first year but year after year after year. Just think—no more tilling, no more digging, and no more fertilizer! The only thing we ever add to our soil is a little more compost. Is this great or what?
Now all we need is some way to hold or contain our aboveground
6 inches of perfect soil mix. So, how about a box?
I think having your garden contained in a box adds uniformity and structure, not only to your garden but to your life. Once limits are placed on almost anything, you will find it much easier to take care of and therefore you will be more comfortable with it and enjoy it more.
The basic 4x4-foot bottomless boxes are easy to build out of common lumber, bricks, blocks, or even stone. These small boxes, filled with the perfect soil mix, will grow five times as much as the same space in a single-row garden. So, you don't need many of the boxes. There are no weeds to hoe. No existing soil to till. Why, once your boxes are built and your perfect soil is added, there is virtually no work at all.
If you place the box on top of the existing ground, you eliminate all of the usual gardening concerns and work of improving your existing soil. It also eliminates the great deal of gardening knowledge that you would need if you were going to be concerned with using your existing soil. You 11 see as we go along that there are so many advantages of not using your existing soil. You 11 wonder why no one ever thought of it before. The 4X4-foot boxes have been chosen because its a size you can walk around and easily reach Once you build the basic 4X4 SFG into to tend your plants; this eliminates the need for stepping on box and establish the grid, you re the growing soil and packing it down, which then eliminates the ready to plant.
mi need to dig or loosen it. See how everything in SFG is interrelated and works so well together?
For bigger gardens, you can always put some of the boxes end to end to create a 4X8-foot or a 4X 12-foot garden box that you will still be able to walk around, yet reach in. If your box is located next to a wall, fence, or building, keep the boxes only two feet wide so you can reach all the way to the back. They can be any length. Boxes can be made from any type of wood. The best is free wood that is found at a construction site. Just ask the foreman of the project if you can have the scrap 2 X 6-inch boards. If you are going to buy your lumber, boxes can be made from pine or fir for the least cost, or cedar or redwood for longer lasting use. If you decide to treat or paint the wood, be careful not to paint inside the boxes where the Mel's Mix comes into contact with the wood; you don't want anything harmful to leach into the soil. I do not recommend using pretreated wood for the same reason.
The width of your aisles is another improvement I have made for the All New Square Foot Gardening method. It's important more for comfort, safety, and looks only than for efficiency. If you notice the garden on the cover of the original Square Foot Gardening book, there were no boxes and the aisles were 1X12-inch boards separating the 4x4-foot areas. I designed it that way to be the most space-efficient but, as someone once said, "This is one time when Mel was too efficient!" But the wood was free, so hey, can you blame me?
The 12-inch board was difficult to maneuver on, and you had to keep a pretty good balance to stay upright. I found that the average gardener needs to have more room to move about on than those 12 inches. In addition, you couldn't get close to each 4x4-foot planting area if you wanted to use a wheelbarrow, garden cart, or harvest basket. Can you just picture two people working in that garden with 12-inch wide paths, and one says to the other, "Excuse me, I need to get through." Can you imagine the answer to that?
So what is the ideal aisle width? Two feet is still a little tight, so I recommend a minimum of three feet between your boxes. It turned out that for accessibility, kneeling, working, and harvesting, the ideal distance was 3 or even 4 feet between boxes. In fact, if your garden has several boxes, you can vary the aisles. Play around with some ideas on paper—then, once your boxes are built (and before you fill them with soil, I should add), you can move them about until you get them just right. Think of it as arranging furniture in your yard.
The aisle space between your boxes can be left in grass or covered with any type of ground cover. In our TV show, we tried all sorts of things to create some very interesting looking aisles. At other times, we just laid down weed cloth and covered it with materials that were comfortable for walking on such as crushed stone, compost, or ground bark.
Forget what the experts have been telling us for years, fill your boxes with just 6 inches of Mel's Mix, add a grid, and start planting! You won't be sorry; in fact, you'll be amazed at the results.
When I wrote the first book on Square Foot Gardening more than twenty-five years ago, I advocated laying out a 12 X 12-inch grid for the garden. Then, in my travels around the country, I heard a lot of people say, "Oh, I do Square Foot Gardening," or "I have a Square Foot Garden." But when I went to see them, the size was right but they had no grid!
In our introductory film, we show the people in our class how a 4 X4-foot garden looks without a grid and ask them, "How many plants could you plant there? How many different crops?" They draw a blank because it looks like a small area that isn't going to contain very much. As soon as we lay down the grid, they suddenly light up and say, "Aha! I see! Sixteen spaces, so it'll take sixteen different crops! As soon as one square is finished, I can add a trowel full of compost and replant that square foot with a different crop without disturbing anything else around it."
See how the grid defines a Square hoot Garden? Without a g?'id, its hard to visualize the harvest.
There are many, many interrelated reasons for the "different crop in every Square Foot" rule, and you will see and understand these as we go along. They deal with nutrients used, limiting over-ambitious planting, staggered harvests, weed and pest control, beauty of the garden, companion planting, simplification of crop rotation, cutting planting time in half, and many more factors that result in a very unusual and innovative gardening system. When you have no grid, your garden has no character. If you're having visitors over, they may not even notice your garden if its laid out in plain beds. But if its a Square Foot Garden with very prominent and visible grids, they will say, "Hey, whats that in your yard? It looks great!"
In the past, whenever I used string or twine as a grid, it eventually got dirty, rotted, and finally broke. In addition, you had to drive in nails to tie the string to, and it just never looked good. I talked with many others who had the same bad experience so I experimented with all kinds of different materials for making grids. If I could condense thirty years of experience into my current advice, it would be—don t use string or any other floppy material. A firm, rigid, prominent, and visual grid permanently laid on every one of your boxes will make all the difference in the world as others see it but mostly in how you use and enjoy your garden.
With a very visible grid, your garden takes on a unique character. It will not only look spectacular, but you'll be able to immediately visualize your planting squares. Without a grid, your garden is not a Square Foot Garden.
9 New Idea—Don't Waste Seeds
When I first started gardening, I found the traditional method of pouring out an entire packet of seeds along a single row was so wasteful that I couldn't believe that's the way we've always done it. Didn't the pioneers have to carry their own seeds all the way across the country? They couldn't order a new batch over the Internet from a seed company every year, could they? Didn't they teach everyone to be frugal and not wasteful? Why would anyone tell us waste a whole packet of seeds along a long, lonely, single row, especially knowing that we would have to go back and thin out 95 percent of the sprouted plants in order to leave only one plant every few inches. Did no one ever think, "Let's just plant a few seeds every 3, 4, or 6 inches?" I guess it took someone outside of the garden industry to think of it.
When your seeds sprout from the pinch of seeds you planted in your squares, snip all but one of them.
In the first SFG book, I advocated single seed planting at the proper spacing for that particular plant, but many people found it tedious and even difficult, especially with small, unusually shaped seeds. Besides, as someone was once teased me and said, "If a packet of leaf lettuce contains twelve thousand seeds and I only plant four in each square foot, how old will I be before it is time to buy another packet?" Shell have to leave her seeds in her will!
So back to the drawing board I went. How about just a few seeds in each hole—just a pinch of seeds? After testing this idea with many people and checking their dexterity and ability to pick up just a pinch (two or three seeds), this seemed to be the answer.
A Snip, Not a Tug
But 1 was against thinning—thats when you pull out all the seedlings except the one plant you want to grow to maturity. Thinning is a lot of work and also seems to disturb the roots of the remaining plant, and that's not good. But then I thought of an absolutely perfect solution. If you plant just a few seeds—a pinch—in each hole and two or three seedlings come up, you just take a pair of scissors and snip off all but the strongest one. That eliminates any disturbance of
The best feature of the All New Square Foot Gardening method is that it makes gardening accessible to everyone.
the plant you want to keep, and you're not tempted to replant the others. The only thing you need to do is just muster the courage to make that initial snip and it's all over.
So now we've been able to improve the single-seed planting and, at the same time, end up with one strong plant in each location, which is just what we wanted. At the same time we're not wasting a lot of seeds. After planting that square foot, put the packet in safe storage, and if stored properly that packet will be good next year, and the year after, and the year after. Many seeds last up to five years if stored properly. (So, how come no one ever told us that before?)

■ More shade in summertime in desert areas
■ Take it to school for the science fair
to New Opportunities—Tabletop Gardens
Now that we no longer need to improve our existing soil—and SFG takes up only 20 percent of the space for 100 percent of the harvest—and we need only 6 inches of lightweight soil mix, we can build a 4 X 4-foot box, and add a plywood bottom drilled with drainage holes. This means you can carry it to any location you want, even moving it to suit weather, climate, an event, a situation, or even a person's needs, abilities, or disabilities. If the size or weight seems too much for you to handle think about using a 3X3-foot, a 2X2-foot, or even a 2 X 4-foot box for ease in moving.
lames, Bring Out the Good Boxes
Smaller sized SFG boxes can become wonderful patio boxes, and its even possible to plant several so there is always one or two with flowers in full bloom or salad crops ready for harvest. The rest can be kept somewhere less visible. With a system of rotation, there will always be a few garden boxes ready to bring out to show off. There's nothing like the visual impact of a beautifully planted box filled with vegetables, flowers, and/or herbs. If you're giving a talk or doing a presentation on gardening, the "seeing is believing" technique will cinch your talk. And just think, you won't have to answer the usual question about SFG, like "How on earth can you grow a garden in only 6 inches of soil?1 Or, "How can you grow without fertilizer?'' Now, you just point and smile!
So there you have it—the ten new major improvements to the Square Foot Gardening method. Each one makes the entire system more productive, the work much easier, and the cost of gardening lower. At the same time, the beginner finds gardening much easier to understand.
I think Square Foot Gardenings best feature is that it now makes gardening available to just about anyone you can think of, regardless of their age, circumstance, location, ability, or disability—anyone, anywhere, can now garden using the Square Foot Gardening method.

SPUR Comments on the Downtown Oakland Specific PlanDecember 7, 2018
In an April 2016 letter to Rachel Flynn, the then Director of Planning and Building, we noted that we agreed with many of the recommendations put forth in the Plan Alternatives Report, specifically the following: streetscape renovation, ground floor activation, energizing dead zones and significant infill development. Then, however, as now, SPUR believed that that the alternatives report — which appeared to be a major downzoning — was too timid and could, if adopted, lead to Downtown Oakland missing key opportunities for growth. We believe that the benefits and accrue from the community benefits negotiations processes that are set up under such a regime are limited and potentially short change the long term. SPUR makes the following recommendations:
- Consider all the potential public benefits that could be paid by new development and add them together into a list of items that developers could include in their proposals as a total set of costs.
- Adopt a scoring system that assigns values to each benefit so that developers would certain about the rules that they need to play by.
- Consider the adoption of "by-right" zoning downtown so that proposed developments, which score above a certain community benefit threshold, would be automatically approved.
- Build in triggers for adding additional public benefits over time.

Why Gift Cards Make the Best Presents
If you are having a hard time looking for gift ideas for someone who is dear or close to you, you might want to consider getting a gift card instead. Gift cards make the best gift for when you don't know what to give to someone because with it, you wouldn't have to worry about anything at all since the one you gifted it to will be the one to choose the item they wish to have. For instance, if you wish to buy a gift for your uncle and you have no idea what are the things that he might want to have or what is his favorite color, you can always buy a gift card for him so that you will never have to worry about buying the wrong item that he won't use at all.
What's best about gift cards is that you won't have a hard time presenting them as gifts because they don't need a gift wrapper nor a gift box or bag. Another good thing about gift cards is that you can use it as a perfect addition to another gift. For example, if you are giving a wallet as a gift to your aunt and you don't feel like giving her an empty wallet doesn't feel enough, you can also put a gift card inside it. If you also want to give a small surprise to someone whom you will giving a coat or a pair of slacks, you can also put a gift card in one of the pockets. This makes gift cards the best add on gift to your loved ones.
What makes gift cards perfect for a present is that with it, you can also help promote your favorite store or your own store as well if you have one. Everybody loves free stuff and if you give out a gift card as a present, you are like giving someone a permission to buy whatever he wants free of charge. People couldn't seem to get enough of the idea that they get to buy as many items as they want for free without having to pay for them because they are already paid ahead of time. This way, you are sure to put a smile in the face of the one you are giving the gift card as a present.
It is safe to say that gift cards make the best gift to anyone or any occasion so the next time you need to look for the best present, never hesitate to get a gift card as a gift. But when it comes to getting a gift card for someone dear to you, you must also bear in mind that gift cards expire so it is best to remind the recipient with the expiry date.

I can hear everyone saying "Wait, that's a lot more money than last year!? What gives? Are you trying to fleece us and steal all our money so Jackson can get steak dinner!?

Everything in the Base Package plus:

Now, other comparable pub runs might charge you $200 or even $300 for this VIP pacakge, but we here at the Memorial Day Pub Run realize you have chauffeurs, groundskeepers, and probably monkey butlers to pay. We understand that and want to make it affordable even with all those very necessary costs. We care about our wealthy patrons and will only charge you $. Because we care. And hope you'll let us meet your monkey butlers!
Registration Notes:
Why do you make me register online so early?
- No need to remember money on race day.
- Cheaper entry than day-of.
- Choice of race number.
- Choice of singlet size.
- Guaranteed singlet (if you register by April 30th).
- Singlets are awesome.
- Optional message printed on bib. (race director reserves the right to edit inappropriate (and appropriate) messages)
- People who register online are 60% sexier and smarter than non-online registrants.
Should I register online?
YES! We only do online registration. Well, unless you really want to pay $133.33 to run this event. In that case I'll make an exception. And probably even buy you a beer or eight.
Plus with a singlet order this year you'll want to get registered early so you get a singlet. If you register after April 30th, I can't promise you'll get one, and if you do, it might be the wrong size. So pull out that calendar, check for conflicts, cross off any conflicts, and register now.
Plus bars like to know how many of you to expect and I like to know how many supplies I'll need. Everyone wins when you register early!
Please note that entry fees are mostly non-refundable (unless you have a REALLY good reason, I guess...but it better involve an epic tale of romance, conflict, and/or adventure!) We've cut people slack in the past, and might again at our discretion, but don't expect refunds. Be decisive with your registration!
Other notes:
Last year some entrants wanted shots at the final bar. If you'd like shots or non-happy hour drinks, please bring some cash with you. Otherwise, we've got you covered
Bringing stuff:
If you're planning on staying for the post-run BBQ, I'd ask you to bring exactly ONE of the following:
- six-pack, wine, or the boozy
- A side dish or snack (ideally something that can be ready quickly after getting back from the run!)
- Grillables if you just can't get enough meat
- Meat substitute if you are vegetarian and want something grilled
We'll have utensils, plates, soda, water, some burgers, sausage, hotdogs, and hot love, but you're gonna be REALLY hungry and thirsty after burning all those calories, so a little extra would be awesome - just please don't go overboard!
Seriously, why haven't you registered yet?

Dave's Pest Control
When bugs misbehave, call Dave!
When bugs misbehave, call Dave!
A German cockroach is about 5/8 inch in length, light brown in color with two dark stripes down their back. The female carries their egg capsule until they hatch. Each capsule holds an average of 30 babies.
German cockroaches multiply rapidly and can get in walls, outlets, appliances, boxes, etc. They are most commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms, but can be found in other areas, as well. They are usually more active at night or in dark places like cabinets and drawers.
Good sanitation is very important. Dirty dishes should be washed immediately, wipe down the table and counters, avoid putting food scraps in the trash, remove trash often, avoid clutter, store all food products in airtight containers and call your pest control professional at the first sign of infestation.
Early detection and treatment by a certified pest control operator is very important. Once German roaches are established control is more difficult and costly. Repeat treatments may be necessary to eliminate them from the structure.
German cockroaches
This is an infestation of German cockroaches. Only the adults are easily seen in this picture. In addition, hundreds of babies are all around the area.

Anyone else clock this?
They have had some muddling results but thumped us and Hednesford and have just signed Tom Taylor back and brought Greg Mills in - will be surprised if they don't start climbing the league.
They probably get the biggest gates in the division I'd have thought which helps too.
The bad news is time flies. The good news is we are the pilots

For those who find inspiration everywhere, who switch between stills and video without missing a beat, who want the look only a full-frame D-SLR can achieve and who love sharing their shots, the D750 is the tool to unleash your artistry.
The D750 has a feature set unlike full-frame D-SLRs its size. It uses the same autofocus and metering technology as the D4S and the D810—Nikon's powerful 51-point AF system with 15 cross-type sensors and 3D Color Matrix Metering III with a 91,000-pixel RGB sensor.
With professional video capabilities inspired by the D810 and an array of inputs and outputs, the D750 is as well-suited for recording daily life and events as it is for filmmaking and videography.
Manually control ISO, shutter speed and aperture while recording—even use Power Aperture control for smooth iris transitions and Auto ISO for smooth exposure transitions.

These streets are somehow cleaner than our city's despite being literally made of dirt.
When the movie starts, Jafar is already secretly running the city: He controls the Sultan through hypnosis, and the guards patrolling the streets specifically mention that they work for him. The result? Agrabah is virtually crime-free (if not for Aladdin), has a thriving economy, and is populated by happy, non-oppressed people. Jafar has turned it into one of the cleanest, most peaceful, most successful ancient civilizations ever portrayed.
And yet, Jafar is branded the bad guy when he understandably tries to stop the three greatest threats to Agrabah's freedom and security: 1) the Sultan, a bumbling idiot dictator who changes laws on a whim, 2) Aladdin, a dangerous thief/conman who is easily able to manipulate the Sultan, and 3) Jasmine, the spoiled, insubordinate princess so fed up with being rich that she runs away from home, at which point she thoughtlessly steals food from a merchant. She's so out of touch with reality, it's literally criminal.
Walt Disney Studios
"This child is mine now, too."
Jafar's hypnotic staff and quest for the lamp are merely a contingency to ensure his benevolent reign. Even his song was the best. Long may he rule.

Light is composed of both visible and invisible rays. This is called the electromagnetic spectrum. We're all aware of the harmful effects of the invisible range like Ultraviolet light. But did you know that visible light can have negative side effects as well?
Visible light is comprised of different colours of differing intensities. These are Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.
Blue light being at the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum, has high energy and can be damaging to the eyes. Moreover, our eyes are not good at blocking blue light. Some negative side effects of blue light are eye strain and macular degeneration.
Most digital devices including computers and smart phones emit blue light.
There are lenses that can protect the eyes against blue light. Come into Romin Optical for more information on these lenses.

Splash 20th Anniversary Edition
- Movie
Twenty years ago, Ron Howard had hair, Tom Hanks was best known for dressing in drag as a Bosom Buddy, and a movie about a mermaid was too risque for the Disney label. Splash jump-started several Hollywood careers, and the fish-out-of-water love story still floats today. John Candy and Eugene Levy get some laughs, and Hanks gets the girl — er, fish. But it's the writers — Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel, and Bruce Jay Friedman — who are responsible for the classic scenes (lobster, anyone?) and lines ("She's really hungry") that make this movie worth revisiting. EXTRAS The features are few — a making-of doc; some grainy audition tapes; a commentary with Howard, the writers, and producer Brian Grazer — but full of tidbits: Even though Splash was a product of Disney's hip new division Touchstone, Howard still worried that execs would cut his film to qualify for a G rating. Then there was the studio's concern that, as Howard says, "nobody's going to go to a Tom Hanks movie."

I left work without an agenda and found myself at a restaurant outside my local train station, nursing a huge glass of red in hopes of calming the nerves. Few sips on I laughed at myself for being that person. Alcohol should never be a resort to resolve unease but sometimes the fleeting feeling of numbness works.
So there I was sipping my drink when a young lady started chatting (loudly) about her recent activities. Apparently, she's started to take on knitting as a hobby and takes her kit in school so she can finish a jumper in between classes and dodgeball practice. She's also enrolled in a pastry class. Her elderly companion asked how she has time for all these things. She said she's passionate about her hobbies so she makes sure she has time.
That was the kicker, I think. I miss having a hobby – some sort of life other than this work-eat-drink-play-sleep-repeat routine I have. I miss feeling passionate enough about something I would move mountains to make time for. I miss knowing that I'm the best version of myself especially when I'm doing something I can master like the back of my hand.
11 September 2005
I've been trying to find something I can really be good at. Something I can actually see myself doing and enjoying for the rest of my life. Something that can affect other people as I do what I do. My most unequivocal passion.
When I was relatively younger, I was obsessed with arts and crafts. My parents made me go to art workshops and though I wasn't as good as [REDACTED], I managed to place either 2nd or 1st in most of the inter-school poster-making contests I've joined. At the peak of that artsyfartsy phase, I told my mom I wanted to be a painter and by the time I hit my 20th, I'd have single-handedly earned my first million. Now, a month shy of being universally legal, I am not at all acquainted with brushes and acrylic and my very business minded 14-year-old brother actually has more cash in his wallet than I do. Fudge.
In high school, I tried to find my forte through sports. I've kicked a lot of balls and swam thousands of laps. I loved the thrill of soccer (the smell of grass, the adrenaline rush, the thought of getting injured) and revered the competitiveness of swimming (surpassing your own records is a splash) and volleyball was something I enjoyed playing with my girl friends. Though I never really deserved MVP awards, I embraced being sporty even when my muscles cried out in pain. But as the much anticipated summer sun beckoned the end of senior year, I knew my career as a jock was over.
College brought forth a love I never thought I had until I got into UP Street. Ahh, dancing. The very thought of it liberates me. The ability to move your body in rhythm or even in silence is exhilarating. Performing is another thing. Perhaps most dancers would agree with me when I say that they undergo an enigmatic transformation when they are onstage. Ahh, dancing. I know I'm good at it but my standards say being good is not good enough. I regret not training as much as I used to. Perhaps if I had time to spare? No questions asked. In the meantime, my performances and my Janet Jackson fantasies are restricted in the four walls of my bedroom. Oh, and those occasional inter-org competitions.
Fudge. I wish I knew how it feels to be really passionate about something again. The thought of drowning in bittersweet mediocrity is terrifying.
Ahhh… mediocrity. Always been one of my greatest fears. If I'm being brutally honest, it's not exactly difficult to doubt yourself when you don't get validation, especially when you're used to knowing and hearing how good you are or how good you can be. I grew up exposed to competitive culture where being the best is the only way to live, bronze medals are frowned upon, and superstardom is almost an innate thing. No, my folks were not "Asian tiger parents" but they were very motivational and made me aim higher for myself.
These days, though I feel like I've done quite well, a huge part of me still seems to be waiting to do something exceptionally great. I have plenty of interests I can tap, but I can't honestly say I'm doing anything I'm super passionate about.
Oh well. I hope the best is yet to come. And I hope I'd stop making excuses and finally start making time to find that great beyond.

Cocktail Party Catering Burnside Heights Vic
8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Cocktail Party Catering Service In Burnside Heights
When it comes to the things that can make or break an event, couple of are as essential as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your decision which catering service to employ, and if you think this decision truly isn't that crucial, look at it this way, incredible catering can save an occasion that's on the rocks, however bad catering will usually send out visitors to the doors.
In addition, because catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for many occasions, the catering service you select is also a significant monetary decision and can affect just how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending upon food expenses and amounts.
Add in that catering services can vary drastically in their pricing and the kinds of meals and services they provide, and the process of selecting a caterer can figuratively and literally seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, generally because how responsive and interested a catering service is during your initial discussions is indicative of how they will carry out throughout the length of their agreement with you (and more on contracts later on).
A prospective caterer needs to be learning as much as they can about you in your first couple of conversations with them, so you must expect them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you supplying responses and describing your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Handle Your Particular Type of Occasion In Burnside Heights 3023
Not every caterer is perfect or every type of occasion, and numerous catering services themselves openly admit this.
So when interviewing your Burnside Heights catering services (and you need to talk to a minimum of 3 catering services for any event with a sensible spending plan), you have to specify about the kind of occasion you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may wind up selecting a catering service who merely isn't really a great fit for the type or style of your event.
Almost every catering service has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and lots of do provide some level of built-in versatility to adapt these menus to your specific requirements by substituting particular items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout caterers will exceed standardized menu alternatives and be willing to develop amazing fare that matches even more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Willingness To Provide Tastings
How will you ever understand exactly what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more particularly, how will you understand what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you specifically try them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the particular items they desire for their occasion since it appears like an inconvenience for the catering service, but it is standard to request a sampling of exactly what you are planning to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (again, be prepared to pay a charge, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you choose the right caterer). When you are tasting the food, also take care of how it is presented, as any catering service who makes the effort to effectively display a sample will most likely be more likely to make that type of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event manager who has to manage catering details, budget plans and assignments?
Or are you a caterer who has to track propositions, invoices, meal choices, inventory and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You might be in for a surprise if you employ a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraising event. Or if you pick a high-end corporate occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding. Why? Because these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending upon limitations of the venue itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Even more conventional locations can likewise have limitations that caterers should follow, like particular setup requirements or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a catering service that is familiar with a venue's guidelines can potentially save you great deals of trouble on occasion day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Agreement
The catering service's contract should clearly spell out exactly what food, beverages and services the caterer will be offering on the designated day( s). Additionally, it needs to safeguard you from non-performance as much as it protects the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might want to think about having a lawyer} look at it before you sign it.
Every detail must be consisted of in the contract, included selected menus, number of servings and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service details (if appropriate) and all pricing and extra services.
No catering service in Burnside Heights with a shred of dignity and scruples enters into an agreement with plans to bail at the last minute, but you need to make certain there is a cancellation stipulation in your agreement just in case your catering service has to cancel.
You don't wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your occasion, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Talk To
Of course you will have to check up on the catering services in Burnside Heights you are considering, and it's always excellent to begin online and check out sites.
However, don't stop there, as online reviews are not constantly reliable (or perhaps authentic); for instance, a good caterer may have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who skew their rankings, while a genuinely mediocre catering service may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can locate some previous customers of the caterers you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we talked to called insurance protection "a given" for caterers, and you certainly do not wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Cooking Area Personnel
Remarkably, how long a catering business in Burnside Heights has actually been in business may not be as critical in picking a fantastic catering service as you may think.
So make certain to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV due to the fact that he/she will most likely be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

Careful and consistent care of your OneTigris products will ensure its optimal conditions and longer lifetime. Here are some basic cleaning tips for backpacks, pouches, gear and dog vests
▪DIRT REMOVAL - After usage, remove any visible dirt with a soft brush.
▪ZIPPER CARE - Use mild soap, water and a soft brush to clean zippers.
▪STAINS - Use mild detergents, water, and a soft brush or sponge to wipe/scrub off stains.
▪SOAP RESIDUE - Use a wet towel with clean water to wipe away any soap residue.
▪DRYING - Hang item outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
▪REGULAR CLEANING of snap fasteners and D-rings is also very important. After each usage, take a dry cloth to wipe clean metal surfaces; should signs of material oxidation occur, use a small amount of toothpaste to gently cleanse the surface.
▪VELCRO LINT - Once a month, use a line roller, duct tape, lint brush, toothbrush, or a tape dispenser's cutter to tape/scrape the fastener clean. Doing this will keep debris from getting excessively embedded, which is more difficult to remove than surface lint. Before placing your gear in the laundry machine, fasten the hook-and-loop fastener together. Spray the hook-and-loop fastener with anti-static spray after washing.

Gutters and downspouts are vital components of any quality roof covering

Sound Transit launches Sounder commuter rail service to Mukilteo
Starting Saturday, Snohomish County commuters will enjoy a brand-new commuting option—Sounder commuter rail service to Mukilteo. The new service will get underway with free rides to Saturday's Mariners game, and regular weekday service will start Monday, June 2.
Community members are invited to a celebration on Saturday marking the completion of Mukilteo Station's first phase less than one year after breaking ground on the project. Mukilteo will now join Edmonds as a stop for the three round-trip trains carrying commuters between Everett and Seattle each weekday. Sound Transit plans to launch a fourth round trip in September.
The new service will expand commuting options for Snohomish County residents and will run on a schedule that also serves ferry commuters from Whidbey Island. The service will take more cars off the region's roads and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The huge ridership increases we've seen over the last several months on Sounder are proof positive that Mukilteo Station will get a warm welcome," said Sound Transit Board Chair and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels. "Rising congestion, high gas prices, and the need for greener transportation options are all reasons why we expect Mukilteo Station to be a big success, and why we need to expand the Sound Transit system and add even more service and more facilities like this one."
"With fuel prices continually on the rise, Mukilteo Station offers residents another option for saving money and reducing commute times in the area," said Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon, vice chair of the Sound Transit Board. "The new station preserves the character of one of our most beautiful cities and allows travel more easily throughout the region."
State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, called the Mukilteo project "a good example of how numerous agencies are working together and coordinating to offer better transportation to the public and get this region moving. The hallmark of this project is the coordination of Washington State Ferries and Sound Transit. Making these kinds of transit connections improves mobility for commuters and livability for residents."
"Mukilteo Station is a great addition to the city's waterfront as well as critical component of our region's transportation network," said Mukilteo Mayor Joe Marine. "Getting this critical connection between ferries and Sounder brings us one big step closer to fulfilling our long-term vision for the waterfront and for the city."
The completed first phase of construction includes a passenger platform on the north side of the tracks, 68 parking stalls, and public art by Whidbey Island artist Linda Beaumont. The second phase of the project, expected to begin next year, will include a south platform, pedestrian bridge and additional parking spaces. The $19.6 million project budget for both phases is being funded by Sound Transit and the Federal Transportation Administration.
"As a regional company based in Snohomish County, Wilder Construction is very proud to have been a part of completing Phase 1 of this project on time and under budget," said Andrew Thompson, Everett Area Construction Manager for prime contractor Wilder Construction. "Building Mukilteo Station brings a much-needed service to the community. As with our efforts eight years ago for the Everett Station Phase 1, we see this as a continuation of building legacy projects with Sound Transit and it's stakeholders and the opportunity to link communities to the future. We are pleased to continue with this effort by beginning Phase 2 of Everett Station this month."
By the end of this year, Sound Transit expects to run four round-trip trains in the north corridor between Everett and Seattle. It also operates six round-trip trains in the south corridor between Seattle and Tacoma, including a "reverse commute" round-trip train; two more round-trip trains will be added in the south corridor this fall, and a ninth in 2009.
"We are really excited to have this last piece of the puzzle for our north Sounder corridor up and running," said Sound Transit Board member and Edmonds City Councilmember Deanna Dawson. "These kinds of high capacity transit connections between Snohomish County communities are critical to keeping our region moving."
"With 300,000 additional people expected to move to Snohomish County in the next 15 years, the Mukilteo Sounder station could not have come at a better time," said Sound Transit Board member and Everett City Councilmember Paul Roberts.
Sound Transit's Mukilteo Station is part of a larger effort to revitalize Mukilteo's waterfront neighborhood and create a transit hub that serves both local residents and ferry riders. Sound Transit worked with the Port of Everett, the City of Mukilteo, the City of Everett and Washington State Ferries on planning and integrating the transit elements. Sound Transit also worked closely with Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the United States Air Force, and NOAA on project planning.
The Sound Transit Board is currently reviewing options for major expansions to mass transit service around the region for submission to voters in 2008 or 2010. Proposed region-wide expansions to Link light rail, Sounder commuter rail and ST Express bus service include parking and access improvements to the Sounder stations in Mukilteo, Edmonds and Everett. Sound Transit is seeking public input on system expansion options through mid June via a series of public meetings and web and phone questionnaires.
Visit www.soundtransit.org/future for more information.
Mukilteo fares
One-way fares between Mukilteo and Seattle are $4 for adults, $3 for youths and $2 for seniors or people with disabilities. Fares between Mukilteo and Edmonds are $3.25 for adults, $2.25 for youths and $1.50 for seniors or people with disabilities.
Game-day Sounder service
Sounder commuter trains serve select weekend Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks games. Saturday's service to the Mariners game will depart Mukilteo at 11:26: a.m. (and Everett at 11:15 a.m. and Edmonds at 11:41 a.m.). Mariners trains arrive at King Street Station in downtown Seattle, a short walk to the field. Return service departs King Street Station 35 minutes after the game ends.

Probably one of the top 'tips' I give to guests and friends is to remind everyone to entertain on a regular basis. Seems like we have friends or family over just about every two weeks. It keeps your home picked up and once you set a routine for entertaining it just becomes second nature.
Let's take tonight for example. I am busy preparing for guests for the night of Fourth of July. When I work all day long I never feel bad about asking guests to bring a dish. Tomorrow we are providing the meat and condiments, 'heavy' baked beans, (This means loaded with extras like bbq meat or sausages.), buns, appetizer and dessert. For dessert we're enjoying peach cobbler with ice cream along with chocolate upside down cake. Our beverages are mostly ice tea or water. However the second refrigerator is absolutely loaded with wine, beer, and margarita makers. Have plenty of ice on hand when it's hot because nothing is worse than hot iced tea!
Before I go to bed this evening I'll have a list for my family to follow through with during the day. Which includes starting the beans in the event I don't get home on time! The truth about tomorrow's gathering is I wasn't having one! Phillip, our son, says: 'We are having a party of some sort, right?' I must admit that Christmas and the 4th are his favorite times of the year. I was looking forward to a quiet evening at home after work. However the idea of breaking bread with several of our friends and neighbors is much much better.
In the old days I would wait on everyone and end up not enjoying the evening. Now I allow folks to help load the dishwasher and tidy after the meal. They feel like they've contributed more and they too feel worthy.
The macaroni salad I've focused on this week is once again a recipe you can modify out. Put in your favorite ingredients and not necessarily mine! Make it into a one dish meal and take it on your next road trip or picnic.
This past week I have been enjoying the opening of 'Patrick's' Garden here in Reeds Spring. Where do I begin to tell you all the delicious fresh produce and fruit I purchased this week: tomatoes, cucumbers, peaches, peppers, eggplant that was fantastic tonight for dinner, new potatoes and green beans. I could go on all night. Probably the best thing was the fresh blackberries that were as big as your thumb!
My assistant, Bonnie & I put up kosher dill pickles this week rendering about 25- 27 pints. This coming week we're making bread and butter pickles and hopefully pickled vegetables like cauliflower, celery, and onion in a quart jar to use as a relish dish. We have so many things on our 'do list' to can this summer I hope we can get them all done. Both of us plan on buying large canners before the summer concludes. I'm thinking of canning a few meat items to have for winter.
With the droughts and extreme rains engulfing our nation I think it might be a good idea to 'fill the larder' in the next few months. In other words 'really stock
I will never forget the story a guest shared regarding her basement pantry. Her husband was injured on the job so the family was left with workmen's compensation for about nine months. She told me how they went through all their food storage and if her husband hadn't gone back to work when he did they would have been forced to apply for assistance. I know I've shared this story before in my column, but it's always good to be reminded.
Keep busy, and prepare for the days ahead. Whip up a dish of macaroni salad and have an outstanding week. Simply yours, The Covered Dish. www.thecovereddish.com.
Country Style Macaroni Salad
8 ounces dry macaroni, (size, style, your choice)
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
8 ounces diced cheese, cheddar or Velveeta
Chopped Sweet Pickles, drained well
Pimentos, drained
Green Onion, if desired
1/3 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon white or apple cider vinegar
(May use pickle juice instead of vinegar.)
Boil pasta in salted water. When tender, drain and wash with cool water. Boil 3 eggs, cool, peel, and chop. Dice your choice of cheese. If you use a diced carrot in this dish it would be a good idea to blanch or steam lightly.
Sweet pickles are a personal choice. Feel free to omit them entirely. If the salad needs more color use drained pimentos.
Blend all the dressing ingredients together and stir into the ingredients. Often the day after finds this salad a bit dry. Consider making extra dressing for this purpose. This salad serve 4-5 persons.
Option: Add a meat to make this a complete meal.

I surprised my son with the 6 hour tour and it was phenomenal! The route was beautiful & fun and the communication during the tour made for stress-free driving. My son was on cloud 9 and did not stop talking the whole trip. Highlight of the summer we will both remember for a long time. The lunch was delicious & overall a perfect day!
GTA Exotics track day has become an annual tradition for my brother and I, as well as our kids. It's always a fun day of hanging out with cool cars and experiencing a race track behind the wheel of a machine of our dreams. Friendly, professional staff keep us coming back annually. Highly recommend!
This was an awesome experience, I highly recommend it to any car enthusiast or racing fan. There is no better way to go around the Track than in one of these super cars! The instructors were great and helped me go faster than I ever thought I could. I drove Porsche GT3 and can't wait to go back and try more cars.
Exhilarating, wow! A chance to drive an exotic, was amazing! My drive was a gift from my wife. What a gift to get! The car was amazing. Seeing the car is really exciting. Realizing you're actually going to drive it, incredible! You can take as many pictures as you like, but sitting in the drivers seat with the engine running, indescribable joy.
What an amazing experience!! I surprised my boyfriend with the 30 min. test drive for his birthday, and he still has not wiped the smile off of his face even hours after the drive ended! He is already talking about coming back for the 3 hour tour! Our guide was more than accommodating, and very helpful! Definitely recommend.
SaarRichmond Hill
What an amazing service! Renting currently Audi R8, delivered home in a short notice after I had an accident, within a day from first contact the car was here. Car is in absolute showroom condition in and out, I've had many rentals in my life, this is a completely different league all around. I will be back for sure as it's a car enthusiast wonderland.
Coming from Luxury Hospitality Management, my expectations are always high. However, at GTA Exotics I was blown away by level of service. GTA Exotics are not only flexible with any reasonable requests, they're extremely accommodating. I've personally reviewed other Exotic Car companies, however, none comes close to GTA Exotics.
