What People Are Saying

Joia Farmer has a passion for people to know and understand God’s nearness. She uses her music and her real life experience in a way that helps people open up to grace. She is talented, approachable & exudes joy & hope, but most of all she is a sincere witness who echoes joy and love for God.
Mike Patin, Speaker & Faith Horticulturist

Working in ministry you get to meet a lot of different “characters” to say the least. One of the highest compliments I can pay to Joia Farmer is that she is a beautifully sincere soul. Joia is authentic in every way. The woman you see on stage belting out notes and sharing from the depths of her heart is the same woman you see backstage loving on her family and cracking jokes. Joia is a celebration of all that is right in Catholic ministry…she is aware of both her sins and her Savior, her love for the Church is contagious and her love for her family is obvious. Rarely do I encounter someone so blessed in both music and in preaching – she is a gift to the New Evangelization and I thank God, often, that she has so humbly chosen to put those “gifts and talents at the service of the Lord” (1 Pet 4:10). In short, Joia is a talent in every sense of the word and I’m honored to get to call her my sister in Christ.
Mark Hart – Executive Vice President, Life Teen

Authentically Catholic, authentically feminine. Joia Farmer’s testimony is relatable. Sharing honest stories of her discovery of Catholicism, life as a Catholic wife, mom and rockstar and her experiences in working to promote a culture of life, Joia challenges listeners of all ages to pursue holiness. Not your mom’s pro-life activist, Joia makes living Humanae Vitae look really really cool.
Alison Griswold, Blogger at Team Catholic, Youth Minister

John Henry Cardinal Newman’s coat of arms read, “Cor ad cor loquitur”–heart speaks to heart. This phrase rings true each time Joia Farmer speaks. She comes from a place of authenticity and lived faith that speaks straight to the heart of the listener, leading him or her to the heart of God himself.
Chris Stefanick, Director of Youth Outreach for YDisciple, Augustine Institute

As a Jr. High Youth Minister I am always looking for ways to engage the 6, 7 & 8th graders in my youth group. Enter – Joia Farmer! Each year we take our young people on retreat and the retreat is not complete without Joia and her band providing the music…everything from praise and worship to good interactive fun, ie., Hokey-Pokey! When it comes to engaging the middleschoolers in singing, dancing and having fun through music there is none better!

Then we come to the inspirational talk and sharing…most of the time as a youth minister you worry about digging deep into faith with middleschoolers but I never have to worry about that with Joia. Her lived experiences and her commitment to being 100% Catholic in her life and in her sharing creates a balance that captivates the kids and draws them into small group sharing that cannot be duplicated by any other! They just embrace her and want that part of the retreat to last longer (their words!).
If you are looking for the total package – look no further than Joia Farmer! (Unless you just like “spinning your wheels”!)
Marilyn Moix, St. Joseph Church, Conway, Arkansas

Simply put, Joia is one of the most passionate Catholic speakers on the circuit today. Combined with her humor, depth and real life approach you would be remissed to not have her at your next event.
Jon Leonetti, Catholic Speaker, Author and Radio Host

Joia’s passion and love for the Gospel are radiant as she speaks to audiences of all ages. Her authenticity captivates, and her personal testimonies challenge us to live our Catholic faith with a fervor and joy that celebrate life and the Good News of Jesus Christ. She’s the real deal – a beautiful woman on fire for Christ and his Church!
Anne Marie Cribbin

Joia’s has an ability to reach the young Church in a powerful way. Her message Is relevant and fun. Our young people and adults loved her. Just when you can’t imagine her being better she sings and you realize her music and voice make Joia something special.
Bob Perron, Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministry, Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston

I had the privilege of hearing Joia speak this year and I found her message relevant and relatable. She was able to connect with the youth and really delivered a strong message. When she sang at the end if her talk that really sealed the deal! Joia is top notch!
Sean Forrest, Speaker, Musician, Founder of MWST Haiti Missions Organization.

Joia Farmer possesses the rare ability to not only entertain you with her tremendous musical gifts, but to leave you wowed, challenged, and changed by her powerful and passionate faith and personal Christian witness.
Shannon Cerneka, Oddwalk Ministries

Joia Farmer’s love for Christ is a constant witness of a life enveloped in faith. Her joy and passion for truth is inspiring, her dedication to her family is exemplary, and her insistence upon living out her faith is demonstrated in her talks, work with unwed mothers, and friendships. I am a Joia fan and hope you have the chance to collaborate with her in ministry.
Chris Padgett, Speaker, Musician, Author Professor at Francisican University of Steubenville

Joia has a powerful way of weaving her own journey of faith as she shares the Gospel. Using humor, her passion for the Catholic faith, and honesty, Joia is a gifted presenter who knows how to preach truth to teens in a language they can understand.
Brian Kissinger – Steubenville Youth Conference Host, Musician, Youth Minister

Authentic, genuine, powerful and humorous, audiences of all ages stand to benefit from Joia’s Christ centered message which comes from a place of healing and hope.
Shannon Deitz – Author, Speaker, Founder of Hopeful Hearts Ministry

Joia Farmer has got it all – a Catholic triple threat! She can sing, she can pray, and can she ever talk! If you are looking for someone to connect with youth or adults about God, faith, forgiveness, family, life-issues, or love than look no further. Whether to 20 or 20,000, Joia speaks and sings to the heart and will not disappoint!
Matthew Robaszkiewicz, Membership Services & Meeting Planner, National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry, Inc.

“What a blessing it was for me to meet and interview Joia Farmer.
Joia shared not only her powerful conversion story but her love of Christ and her passion to share the Gospel. This incredibly talented woman is a blessing to so many in so many ways, whether by music or by her powerful talks. Joia’s ability to relate to young people is a gift. You can’t fake them out….They know she’s real.”

Mark Newman, Host of Cross Roads on Radio Maria

Yesterday, in the trailer discussion, I mentioned an old Hitchcock/Jimmy Stewart trailer as representing the absolute worst of all pre-modern movie trailer conventions.

A personalized home, created through an innovative process, done at a remarkable pace.

“… working with JP & Co., the design, decisions and all details were buttoned up before the project began.  Obviously any surprises during the project were dealt with and changes could be made, but there were hardly any.”

steffy bed.jpg

phase i

We come out and meet with you at your home to talk about your project.  From that meeting we create a personalized space plan that gives you the vision of what your home can become.   We then formulate a courtesy estimate that is in a relevant range with the main components you desire.   We can assist in alternatives for complete financing to make this happen!

phase ii

When you are comfortable with the courtesy estimate and space plans we move into the planning phase.  This can be done in 4 -  8 weeks depending on your desires.  We make this process simple by having you work with one highly qualified designer through every step of your renovation.

phase iii

Construction begins and you will move in to your “new old house” in 2-3 months!  We assist in moving you out, and the inconvenience to your life is minimized and is of short duration.  The project is highly and effectively managed to maintain a fast pace.

JP&CO is a Residential Construction Firm specializing in urban rebuilds and whole house renovations.

We strive to do what is best for your entire home both inside and out, leaving you with a home of exceptional intrinsic value, as well as a personalized look and feel which is just right for you and your family.  We are unique in terms of our production processes and in actually “doing the work,” and also in terms of achieving effective overall results.  We emphasis PACE, QUALITY, VALUE, and fully integrate the elements of architecture, interior design, and landscape in everything we do.

A note from Samantha

Our goal is to create smart functional spaces where families live differently.  We listen to you and create kitchens that work, great rooms that are inviting and maximize your square footage without “super sizing”.

We are very sensitive to the “Total Experience” of this event in your life.  We make the process simple and manageable so you can feel 100% confident in all aspects.  The home you live in should have a tremendous positive impact on your daily life, and create a happier lifestyle.  We see a real transformation with every family we work with!

- Samantha, Lead Designer, Assoc. AIA, Allied ASID

A note from Pete

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit us.  We want you to experience the “JP difference” felt in these homes that were completed through our personalized planning process

We take a great deal of care and attention in your space plans and designs.  This part of the personalized experience is very positive for our clients and they LOVE it.  We then work our “magic” to complete your remodeling project, and have you moved back into your home in 3 months or less.  Finally, our cost is guaranteed and reasonable.

We will help you from start to finish...Design it, Finance it, Build it, DONE!  Together, we can make many good things happen.  You deserve something good for Yourself and Your Family!

- Pete, Owner

“What we have now is everything we wanted in a home. It has the feeling that we “built” our house and we got to stay in the community we love. We owe it all to our JP & Co. experience.”

F A Q’s

Who is JP and who is the CO?
JP&CO started in 2000. The firm CEO is JPeter Paulson who is experienced in construction management and methods. Design work is done by Samantha Grose who is both Associate AIA and Allied ASID affiliated. The rest of the “CO” is made of up a large team of dedicated independent subcontractors who see the excellence in the way JP&CO works, and want to be a part of something different.

Who does the design?
Samantha is the primary designer. She takes a unique approach to every home making it a goal to always create smart functional spaces where families live differently.

Where do you do most of your work?
There are a sampling of JP&CO homes throughout St. Paul and Minneapolis. We also have happy homeowners in the first and second ring suburbs that love where they live and choose to set up their home for the next 30 years and choose us to do their work.

How long does the planning take?
Every client is different. We can personalize the pace of planning to ensure it does not overwhelm you but also keeps you enthusiastic and excited to finally have your new home finished.

How do you do the work so fast? And is the quality still there?
We work very hard on pace. Once we break ground we finish your home in 3 months. We keep to a very tight schedule and with the comprehensive plan in place implementation is seamless.  Something happens EVERYDAY. We have engineered the whole process to make sure we speed up whenever possible and slow down when necessary to ensure a high level of quality from building infrastructure to cosmetic finishes.

Where do I live during the project?
We have many resources around the Twin Cities that our clients have used. All different types of rentals can be used based on your needs. Most clients find temporary housing for 3 months blocks from their homes. We help the relocation process be simple and easy.

How do I afford something like this?
We work very hard to establish excellent relationships with many different financial institutions. We talk more about this in our initial meetings with you. We want you to be comfortable and confident that you can move forward and make everything we plan with you a reality.

This granny square has a flower in the center that looks like a flower. It would look great combined with lots of other squares done in different colors. You could also make the center a different color then make the last round the same color as the center.

Fern Valley window in forest

August 23rd, 2010 in member junk

Are you coming for dinner?

As promised from a previous post I finally got fern valley window hung in the forest. I wanted it right above the actual "new fern" flower bed but the trees were to far apart to screw into. I want to put "something" not sure on what yet...behind the window. We have been so busy at the cabin as we are having an open house in September for family and friends so we are trying to get things looking okay for the big day.

GoGreen Diapers is a sponsor for the Newborn Cloth Diapering Event! Check out the GoGreen Sponsor Highlights! They sent me a Lime Champ™ one size pocket diaper to test out and review! This cloth diaper has so many features I almost do not know where to start.

The Champ is a one size cloth diaper with four rows of snaps for the rise settings. It is advertised to fit 7-40+ pounds.

It also has multi-colored waist snaps which my husband loves. The waist snaps have two rows, with hip snaps to prevent wing droop, and crossover tabs. From the four rises to the crossover tabs, this diaper snaps down really tiny. Much tinier than most of my one size diapers. It truly can fit a seven pound baby and a toddler.

The GoGreen Champ has two pocket openings. The front and back openings allow for easy stuffing and you do not need to pull the insert out! It can agitate out in the wash. The fabric overlaps on the pocket openings also help prevent leaks. This diaper was a breeze to stuff, but it is still narrow enough for a small baby. The insert is three layers of microfiber and quite absorbent. The dual pocket openings allow me to get my hands inside and adjust the insert for smaller rise settings.

The very front of the GoGreen Champ has a single snap in the center that faces inward. This snap is actually for attaching the insert inside. The insert has a single snap that attaches at the front of the diaper near the pocket opening. This allows the insert to agitate out of the diaper, while still remaining ATTACHED to the diaper. This is a really nice feature. It can cut down on the hunting and pecking time spent searching for the correct inserts when folding diaper laundry. It did not stay attached during my wash routine, but I do a heavy agitation with plenty of rinse cycles, so I would have been shocked if it had stayed attached. Other less vigorous washing routines will probably allow for it to remain snapped.

The overlapping insert stoppers are made with waterproof fabric that keeps the end of the diaper dry to the touch. This is a nice anti-leak feature to keep urine from wicking onto clothing.

One of the other more unique features on the GoGreen Champ is the dual gussets. A single leg gusset can be adequate when your baby is older and has “ploppable” poop, but with a younger baby poop tends to be runnier. Dual gussets gives the diaper the double protection similar to a fitted with a cover, but with the convenience of a pocket diaper. The trench between the gussets acts as a backup buffer zone, which really helps prevent leaks.

My newborn daughter was 8lbs exactly when I started putting her in the GoGreen Champ on the smallest settings. It fit great on all counts! The hip snaps really help. Her umbilical cord stump came off at five days old, so I didn’t have to worry about it rubbing on the diaper. Although, I find the cord rubbing on a cloth diaper to not be a big deal at all.

The GoGreen Champ actually fit her quite well in the legs despite her skinny newborn legs. I used it during her longer sleep stretches which include a couple more explosive poops and it held everything in perfectly.

The GoGreen Champ is definitely a true one size diaper. I am sure it would fit a baby several ounces smaller than mine and it definitely sizes up large. I put this diaper on my 22 month old son and he has plenty of room to grow in it despite being 25.5 pounds.

The GoGreen Champ basically has every feature one could want in a pocket diaper and amazing sizing versatility. I really cannot think of anything I would change about this diaper. It has all the bells and whistles I love, plus it fits my newborn and toddler equally well.

Customer Question

I was involved in a hit and run accident. I now have a complaint filed against me by the policy department and am being required to appear in court. California Vehicle Code:
20002 (a).
What exactly is involved with a complaint? I was not arrested. Do I need an attorney before I appear in court to answer this complaint?
When the accident occurred, both parties pulled over. The other party was very uncooperative and would not give me any information. He was yelling, and stood in back of my car so I could not leave. I was fearing bodily harm, so I left the scene. I then went home and within 1/2 hr. of the accident I filed a policy report. I panicked and told the policy the other party left scene. I was afraid the police would arrest me.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. This is Dwayne B. and I’m an expert here and looking forward to assisting you today. If at any point any of my answers aren’t clear please don’t hesitate to ask for clarification. Also, I can only answer the questions you specifically ask and based on the facts that you give so please be sure that you ask the questions you want to ask and provide all necessary facts.

A complaint is a criminal charge for a misdemeanor. The code you cited is a Misdemeanor and could result in a punishment up to imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months, or by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine. However, if you haven't been in trouble before it is most likely to be a probation type case.

You definitely want to hire a lawyer to represent you and you want to do it as soon as possible since many lawyers won't take the case if you try to hire them a few days before the setting.

Your main problem now is handling the lie that you told to the police. If you hadn't done that then the lawyer might be able to get a dismissal under the facts you gave but it will be much harder to do so at this point.

Good luck and have a great day.

I have a situation between me and my wife. We have been together for over 3 years and have 2 beautiful children ages 3 1/2 and 1 1/2.
I work during the day, own my own business. My wife stays home with the children during the day. The other day while i am at work (i drive around our small town quite a bit) in-between jobs, i met a friend while he was on his lunch break and just sat for 10 mins or so while he ate and talked to him, then left and went on to my next job. When my wife saw a text from him asking me to come meet him and talk for a bit, and i told her i sat with him for 10 mins, she got very angry, saying that its wrong of me to see my friends during the day while im "supposed" to be working, while she has to be at home taking care of the kids. That its un-fair that i get to see my friend for 10 mins while she has to be at home, although if i were at home and not working, and ask to go see a friend it would be out of the question. because once again she would be left at hom

Hi! I believe I can be of help with this issue.

First, let me say I can imagine how frustrating this situation must be for you. I have to say that I sense you are both very sincere both as husband and wife and as parents and are both trying your best. And the stress of your lives is very high as it is with almost everyone in America and the world right now trying to raise a family and make ends meet at the same time.

And this is actually the key to my answer to you that you need to consider and think about. I am concerned for your marriage that the two of you are going through this destructive dance. You must both be using all your self control to just not blow up quite often. Because the stress is high and you each are working at your maximum capacities.

So, we have to make a good faith effort to right the ship because it sounds as though you have a very good marriage. And we need to protect it. Okay?

Therefore, I want you to print out my answer and take it and her to a Starbucks or other quiet place (on a date which I know is tough but that is part of the problem) and discuss it and commit to the program to try to make your marriage a success. You're going to start with a book. You'll get 2 copies, one for each of you. Each night you're both going to read a few pages or a chapter and do the exercise there if there is one in those pages. Every other night, or at most, every third night sometimes, you will get together, either at home or at the Starbucks and talk about what you read. What you think of it, what it inspired in you. Make notes in the margins. And each one talk about the subject of the pages and what you think. That's your assignment and dates.

The book: It's by the foremost researcher into relationships in our day, John Gottman. He's famous for being interviewed on TV and being able to tell when a couple will get divorced within 5 minutes and having 90% accuracy. I've studied his therapy and use his therapy in my practice and that's why I'm concerned that you two do this. So the book is the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. You can get it cheaply online but see if you can get it locally to save time.

I want you to know that this squabble is not as serious as you two think. It is the stress in your lives that makes this a big thing. It is making you each focus on what you ARE NOT getting that you need rather than on how much you two are building. See the difference in focus? Negative versus positive. In my office, you would be a wonderful couple to work with because you have so much going for you still. So the work with the book may be enough. But if not, get professional help and make the time for it and fit it into your budget because your marriage is precious.

The therapy: the two of you would work on how emotional connections are made and maintained. The two of you together need help in learning how to make your marriage more emotionally intimate and positive. There are two types of therapies I recommend strongly for you two to consider.

One type of therapy is called Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Why? Because it focuses on how there have been created emotional barriers and how to get through those barriers. Please consider it before you take other action.

Here is the web address for their therapist finder:

On the website you'll also find excellent books by the founders, Sue Johnson and Leslie Greenberg. They're in Toronto. You may not find an EFT therapist in your area. So, the other therapy is Gottman therapy. Yes, the same Gottman as the book above. Seek a therapist who is certified by the Gottman Institute. Here's their web address for finding a therapist:

Why? Because his couples therapy model is the most straightforward model available and you may need that because there isn't much time to see if he will move closer. I hope that therapists working in these types of couples therapies are listed for your area. If not, find a couples therapist who makes you feel confident in his/her skills and values.

Okay, so that is a program to try to right the ship of your marriage. Because you have a good marriage.

I wish you the very best in this and in the future!

Please remember to click the green accept button. Feel free to continue the discussion; my goal is to get you the best answers possible. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue, just put "for Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, Dr. Mark

Jake Abel: Ian O'Shea Poster Debut!

Jake Abel: Ian O'Shea Poster Debut!

Check out the new The Host poster featuring, Ian, played by Jake Abel!

“One of my favorite things about Ian-the-character was that he was never meant to be more than a second tier bad guy. He was supposed to stay in the shadows behind his brother, Kyle, and be menacing. Glower and shake his fist, that kind of thing,” author Stephenie Meyer wrote on her website along with the poster. “But—as sometimes happens—Ian started to think for himself. (Most of the other authors I’ve spoken with have had the same experience, and it’s always a favorite—characters who seem to develop independent of the creator, springing into existence with almost no effort on the writer’s part.)”

She continued, “So Ian became the first human, aside from Jeb, who started to see Wanda-the-individual rather than Wanda-the-alien-invader, and he traded in his small role as a bad guy for one of the romantic leads. Well played, Ian. Well played.”

Check out a new video with Jake, talking about The Host, which opens on March 29th. Bigger poster inside…

The Blob That Attacked Waikiki: The Box Jellyfish Invasion of Hawaii

They come ten days after the full moon, swarming to shore, nearly invisible and wielding poison-loaded tentacles. A few days later, they disappear just as mysteriously as they had come, leaving behind their microscopic spawn. No, this isn't the plot of another science-fiction movie; it is a real, monthly occurrence on the beaches of Oahu, Hawaii. These creatures are aliens, but they aren't from space. They are an alien species of box jellyfish that has been invading Hawaii's waters for almost two decades. Lifeguards, tourists, and scientists all keep a wary vigilance for this particular box jelly, called Carybdea alata.

Named for their square shape, box jellyfish are the most highly evolved and the most dangerous of the jellyfish. Like corals and other members of the phylum Cnidaria, jellyfish tentacles are lined with microscopic cells called cnydocites that each house a powerful stinging thread called a nematocyst. When triggered, each nematocyst is released in a powerful spring-like action, piercing whatever might touch it. Box jellyfish not only have the most potent poison of all jellyfish in their nematocysts, but they have even developed complex eyes that can detect light. They don't just drift around,they can actively pursue prey.

Hawaii's C. alata is not the largest or the deadliest box jelly (a status reserved for the infamous sea wasp of Australia), but it is still a dangerous nuisance. Nearly every month brings a string of news reports about jellyfish stings, mostly on the southern and eastern shores of Oahu. For example, on a single day in July 2004, 318 people were stung at the tourist destination Waikiki, along with 45 stings at other beaches. No one is immune to a sting's pain; as lifeguard Landy Blair told reporters in 2001, "I have sent 30-year-old muscular surfers in tears and with breathing difficulties to the hospital."

Where are they from, where are they going?

Hawaii's box jellies are unique in their predictable arrivals: they come near shore to spawn 8 to 12 days after each full moon. John Culliney, Professor of Biology at Hawaii Pacific University, said that other members of the same phylum, including corals, also time their spawns based on the lunar cycle.

"They do this because it's easier to concentrate the eggs and sperm all together," Culliney said. What is unique about C. alata is that nowhere else in the world are box jellyfish quite so reliably on-time. No one is yet able to answer why.

To add to the mystery, very little is known about the box jelly's lifecycle. A jellyfish, also called a medusa, is actually only one stage of the lifecycle; the medusae bud off of larval-stage polyps that are attached to the sea floor. According to Culliney, a box jellyfish polyp is longer-lived than other jellyfish polyps,perhaps even indefinite. The problem is that no one knows where the polyps live.

"There might be a chance to control the population if we knew what substrate [the polyps] live on," said Culliney, "but no one's been able to find them."

After spawning, the adult jellyfish disappear again, just as suddenly as they came. Where do they come from? Where do they go? How long do they live? So far, there are no answers.

Coming to Hawaii

Carybdea alata received its name from its place of origin,the Caribbean. So how did these mysterious invaders reach Hawaii? Researchers have several theories, though none have been proven. Some believe that the medusae were carried in ballast water in ships. Others, including Culliney, think it is more likely that the polyps were transported by attaching to the bottom of ships. Whatever the method of arrival, this box jellyfish has now spread worldwide.

First appearing on Oahu in the late 1800s, this box jelly has shown up regularly near beaches since the 1980s. "Always before then they'd disappear for a few years between sightings," said Culliney. "Now it looks like they're spreading around Oahu."

Originally only found on Oahu's south and east (leeward) shores, C. alata has been showing up more recently on the north and windward shores. With no means of controlling their numbers, many worry that the jellyfish may spread to the rest of Hawaii. Predictions are not promising. According to Culliney, "It's only a matter of time before they get to neighbor islands."

Oww! I've been stung!

So far, no one in Hawaii has died from a C. alata sting, but it can cause nasty welts, and even breathing difficulties and dizziness in people more sensitive to the venom. So, what should you do if you happen to encounter a box jelly? Some say to use vinegar, others say meat tenderizer, and still others say to urinate on stings. Traditional remedies' are so numerous that they can be more confusing than helpful. Few of these treatments have been scientifically tested until recently, and many of the results are contradictory. What really works and what doesn't?

Every month, some Oahu beachgoers inevitably get stung. Scientists agree that vinegar is the best treatment. Source: [link =][/link].

There are a few things on which everyone can agree. For any species of jellyfish, white vinegar poured over the wound helps to deactivate the nematocysts, preventing further stings. After being doused in vinegar, any remaining tentacles should be picked off. Finally, never rub the wound with anything, as that can discharge any nematocysts that are still on the skin.

As for other remedies, studies are not conclusive. Traditional pain relief usually calls for a cold pack, but more recent research contradicts this idea. Dr. Craig Thomas and Susan Scott, authors of All Stings Considered, published a study in the Hawaii Medical Journal in 2001 that found application of a heat pack to a jellyfish sting could provide moderate pain relief. Another study, published in 2002 in the Medical Journal of Australia, also reported that heat could reduce the lethality of venom for other box jellyfish species.

Remedies for a jellyfish sting.

Remedies for a jellyfish sting.

Traditional treatments, including applying meat tenderizer, freshwater, alcohol, steroid cream, and even human urine to jellyfish stings, are not supported by solid evidence; some of these remedies may even be harmful in certain instances. The general rule is: If it isn't proven, don't risk it.

The invasion continues

C. alatahas become one of the more recent additions to the long list of alien species introduced into Hawaii. Whatever effects it might have on the islands' unique ecosystem is only another unknown surrounding this creature. The only things about which we can be sure are that C. alatais unwelcome, and that it is not leaving any time soon.

Author's Note

14 March 2006: It has been recently brought to my attention that Carybdea alata has not been confirmed as an invasive species to Hawaii; there are ongoing studies to determine if this box jellyfish is introduced or native. I apologize for any confusion I might have caused in using the terms "invasive" or "alien." In addition, evidence has also been presented to me to disprove the hypothesis that C. alata might have been introduced via ballast water, as ships during the late 1800's used dry ballast instead of water. --Katrina Outland

County Sees Increase in License Fees Last Quarter

Posted By News On @ 6:30 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled

Washington County has seen an increase in the amount collected from driver’s licenses and plate fees.  Washington County Treasurer Jeff Garrett shared during yesterday’s Board of Supervisors meeting that over $59,000 was brought in because of those fees.  This is ten percent more than what was seen in the same time frame last year.

He says the money reported is what the County keeps after sending 96% of what is collected to the state. The Supervisors also heard updates from the Planning and Zoning Administrator and Recorder.

Also discussed was a lease of 108 acres of county-owned farm ground.  Bids are being accepted for renting this land and are due by 9:00 on Tuesday, October 30th.

County Auditor Dan Widmer notes if there is more than one bidder for the land after the bids have been opened during that day’s Supervisors meeting, the other bidders will have a chance in person to increase their bid for the land.  The one year agreement begins in March of next year.

Safe Kids Kansas

Preventing Accidental Injury.

April 13, 2009

KDHE Office of Communications, 785-296-0461

Keep Your Eyes Open and Your Windows Shut; Active
Supervision of Kids is Key for Window Safety

Placing a crib, changing table or even a chair next to a window might offer your child a nice view outside or access to fresh air, but be careful – window falls can happen to anyone and in some cases, can be deadly. Safe Kids Kansas recommends that adults actively supervise their children when around open windows. Toddlers have been known to fall out of windows open as little as five inches.

Every year, window falls account for 12 childhood deaths and 4,000 injuries for children under 10 years old. Safe Kids Kansas strongly recommends window guards on all windows above the first floor, preferably guards equipped with an emergency release device in case of fire.

“A screen is not a safety device,” says Jan Stegelman, Safe Kids Kansas director. “It’s designed to keep insects out, not to keep children in. Proper safety guards on windows save lives.”

 Window guards were shown to reduce window fall-related deaths by up to 35 percent as part of a pilot program in New York City. “In an apartment in a high-rise building, window guards should be considered essential safety equipment,” says Stegelman.

Safe Kids Kansas offers these tips:

Straight road
By Ken Blue

Dr. Paul Vanaman was my professor and a dear friend. He spoke at our church on many occasions in the early days of my ministry. I will never forget a statement he made in one of those sermons. He said, “I don’t care how high you jump, what concerns me is how straight you walk when you come down.”

Some of the brethren, I fear, have confused the two. They think high jumping is the same as straight walking. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have seen many who can run, jump, and yell but they don’t tithe when they come down.

We’ve seen you jump; now let’s see your walk.

I love excitement in church. Very little plagues Christianity more than a dead, dull, dry service. We are not against jumping high, but we are opposed to that Christianity that fails to walk straight when the dust settles and the shouting is over.

When you come down, do you gossip? Do you attend church regularly? Do you tithe and support missions? Do you read your Bible and serve in your local church? Do you love all the brethren? Are you harboring bitterness and resentment? We’ve seen you jump; now let’s see your walk.

Tree Mortality

Kern County has thousands of dead and dying trees that are threatening public safety and infrastructure. The County is taking action to work towards mitigating hazardous dead trees in the following ways:

•    On April 5, 2016 the Board of Supervisors proclaimed a Local State of Emergency due to pervasive tree mortality.
•    On October 30, 2015 Governor Brown issued a State of Emergency proclamation.  This proclamation recognizes and addresses the need for the removal of dead and dying trees throughout the State.
Tree Mortality Task Force

The Kern County Tree Mortality Task Force was assembled to develop a response plan for removing dead and dying hazard trees. The goal of the Task Force is to collaborate with local, as well as private, and public partners to identify and remove dead and dying trees which threaten public safety and infrastructure (power lines, water systems, roads/highways, communication lines, etc.). County staff continue to work towards mitigating the threat of dead and dying trees with our partners. The first step is to identify and prioritize areas where dead trees need to be removed to protect public infrastructure.

Supervisor Scrivner and the Kern County Fire Department are members of the Governor's Tree Mortality Task Force. This task force meets on a monthly basis and provides a forum for coordination and information sharing among local, state, federal, private and non-profit agencies in an effort to ensure public safety and continuity of essential services from the threat of tree mortality across the State of California.

Tree Mortality Coordination Efforts

There are a number of tree removal efforts taking place in Kern County and these will continue as new dead trees are identified and funding is obtained. Below is an outline of the various projects to remove trees around Kern County.

•    State Responsibility Area Fire Prevention Fund grants were secured in 2015 for Bear Valley Springs, the Frazier Mt. Park area, and the Alpine Forest Park area.  These projects will utilize both private contractors and Kern County Fire Department personnel.
•    Utility companies have been removing a large number of trees that threaten their infrastructure, especially in Bear Valley Springs and Alta Sierra.
•    Cal Trans has removed trees along State highways such as Highway 155 near Greenhorn Summit.
•    Private landowners have hired contractors to remove many dead trees that threaten their homes.

Kern County will continue to apply for additional grants to remove dead trees and treat other hazardous fuels.  These projects, which can cost thousands of dollars per acre, can be prohibitively expensive for landowners.  Landowners who wish to have trees removed or fuels treated through one of these grants will be required to sign a Right-of-Entry form that’s limits the liability of the County of Kern and it’s contractors.

Private landowners can also get financial assistance to remove trees and replant through the California Forest Improvement Program (CFIP) or the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Landowners in the State designated tree mortality zone who wish to have trees removed (conifers only) or fuels treated through one of these grants will be required to sign a Right-of-Entry form that’s limits the liability of the County of Kern and it’s contractors.

Why young eyes need toys

Why young eyes need toys

Little kids learn so much about the world around them through play. What they see during play helps them form a picture of the world around them.

Play helps them gain a spatial awareness, an understanding of depth perception and, very importantly, develop hand-eye coordination.

Babies are born with relatively undeveloped vision. While they first open their eyes in utero at around the 26th week of gestation, at birth they really can only see close up and won’t be able to visually track a moving object for about six weeks. If you want to get into their line of sight, remember they can only focus on objects (or your face) about 15 to 25cm away.

But from the moment they’re out, their peepers will be sending messages back to their brain and their understanding of their environment is growing with every view they clap their eyes on. And toys will play a huge, visually-stimulating and motor skill-developing role in their lives.

Understanding hand-eye coordination

This is the coordinated teaming of eye movement with hand actions – basically you see something and, using that visual input, you reach or grab for it.

Babies are not born with this skill but at around the four-to-six month mark they will start trying to grasp objects. And so begins a rapid-fire development of their fine and gross motor skills.

Parents: If your baby has been looking at the same toys or mobile since birth, the six-month mark is a good time to change up the scenery to inspire your littlie to really practice their fledgling hand-eye coordination skills.

Eye safety and toys

Eyes are delicate things and often accidentally get poked or flicked during play. There are also toys that can be dangerous for the eyes of littlies. While there are no Australian figures, about 11,000 toy-related eye injuries occur each year in the US, and mainly to young kids. Avoid toys that shoot objects out - such as slingshots, dart guns or arrows - for children under six years in particular, and closely supervise any child playing with such toys. If your older child plays with a chemistry set or woodworking tools, provide him or her with safety goggles.

Eye-loving toys through the ages

  • First year: Brightly coloured or black and white mobiles, rattles, balls, stuffed animals, activity gyms, blocks, stacking/nesting toys.
  • Second year: Finger paints, modelling clay, board books, balls, stuffed animals, pouring toys (such as measuring cups), riding toys, puzzles, shape sorters, musical toys.).
  • Three to six year olds: Large crayons, large markers, chalkboard and chalk, felt board and felt pieces, books, puzzles, musical toys, swings, dress-up clothes, sandbox.

Tinker Gearcoins

I don’t think we mentioned that our dear friend Tesh has a Kickstarter winding down: Tinker Gearcoins. These are a bit like the Tinker Gearchips he did at the start of the year, but with more art, different sizes, and a design that lets you use them as cogs if you want to get extra steampunk. It is past 700% of its goal and about to hit its last stretch goal (adding an extra gearcoin to the rewards), there are multiple options for shiny finishes, and all the previous campaigns’ items are available as add-ons. I gave a friend a Tinker Deck, because who doesn’t need a deck of cards with Ada Lovelace as a queen, so I need to replace that.

Hmm, too many links there. Let me point out the current campaign: Tinker Gearcoins.

It’s more money than you probably need to spend on fun, decorative coins, but less than you’ve probably spent on a night at the bar, and afterwards you’ll have fun, decorative coins rather than a hangover.

  1. Ah, I missed this while in the frenzy of making the campaign tick. It’s been kind of a lousy summer, actually.

    Many thanks for the mention! It’s good to see familiar “faces” as I try to do these campaigns. :)

Pineapple Punch Sativa Marijuana Strain

Pineapple Punch

Flying Dutchmen

Sativa 70 / Indica 30
Origins: Real McCoy x Skunk #1
Flowering: 63-70 days
Harvest: late October

The Flying Dutchmen’s popular Real McCoy strain crosses a Hawaiian indica with Skunk #1. Real McCoy is backcrossed with its Skunk parent to produce Pineapple Punch. Interestingly, this hybrid expresses two distinct phenotypes. One is a more “sativa” pattern – tall and rangy with thin leaves and widely spaced internodes; the other is a more “indica” growth pattern, with medium-size, wider leaves, closer nodes and a slightly stronger bouquet and yield. Growers will know by the vegetative phase which trait package to expect from their plants. Both phenotype produce the citrus taste and cerebral, active stone of their Real McCoy mother.

Outdoors, Pineapple Bouquet grows fairly tall with lime-colored leaves, large bracts and golden pistils. Indoors, the Dutchmen recommend growing Pineapple Punch from clones either at 12-16 plants per square meter (1-2 per square foot) unpruned or at 6-9 per square meter (1 plant per square foot), pruned once. Removing lower branches channels light and energy to the tops of the plants. Flying Dutchmen prefers soil cultivation with a 12/12 light-cycle and low to medium regimen of organic nutrients, but hydro cultivation is acceptable too. No nutrients should be applied for at least 10 days before harvest.

Pineapple Punch’s buds are medium-dense and loaded with sugary fruity resin. her high terpene levels preserve her inviting taste and smell after water extraction, although dry sieving gives the best results. While both phenotypes offer a smooth pineapple / grapefruit smoke, the sativas have a sweet lavender undertone while the indicas are stronger and more grapefruit-astringent.

Pineapple Punch’s tropical spell is likely to leave you giddy. this is great upbeat high that brings on talkativeness and lots of grinning. A terrific accompaniment to an outdoor concert or a walk in nature, Pineapple Punch encourages a sunny perspective and offers a pick-me-up for recreational afternoons.

How to Listen to Music in Stereo

I’ve always been surprised that most reviews of standalone speakers or iPod dock speakers don’t mention stereo separation. Those sorts of speakers only provide stereo sound if they are right in front of your head; even then, the speakers might not be far enough apart. The same is true with sound bars. They’re not very wide, and they don’t provide true stereo imaging. Even if you have two speakers, if they’re not far enough apart, then you don’t really hear stereo.

In an interesting article on Cnet, Steve Guttenberg asks Do you ever get to really hear stereo sound? He has a point. Most people either listen to devices, such as those I mention above, that don’t have good stereo separation, or they don’t have their speakers set up correctly to really hear stereo. Do you?

I listen to music in stereo, in both my office and in the living room. Here’s a picture from my office from when I recently bought new desktop speakers. These speakers are set up for “near-field listening,” where the speakers and my head are roughly the points of an equilateral triangle.

Miles midnight

Guttenberg says the speakers “should be at least 24 inches apart when you’re sitting a few feet away.” I think there must be more separation than that, and, in my setup, the speakers are about four feet apart. I could move them a bit closer together — perhaps a foot — and still get good separation, but not much more than that. However, if the speakers are too far apart, then the separation becomes too noticeable. It’s a tough balance.

But you also need the speakers to be at almost exactly the same distance from each ear; if not, you’ll hear one louder than the other, and it won’t sound like true stereo. This is not a problem if you have a listening setup with a single seat for a listener, but once you get into a room where more than one person will listen, either none of them will be in the center and hear stereo, or one person – the one in the center – will hear stereo and the others won’t.

Guttenberg also discusses the height of speakers. He says they should be “near the seated height of the listeners’ ears to produce the most accurate stereo imaging.” Actually, what is important is that the tweeters be at the height of the listeners’ ears; this is because high-frequency waves are very small, and they don’t spread out very much from tweeters. Low-frequency waves, coming from larger speakers, spread out much more, so their height makes less of a difference. And with subwoofers, you can place them almost anywhere in your listening room, because the waves at those frequencies are so long.

I also agree with Guttenberg that headphones are not very realistic. I enjoy listening to music on headphones, but I do understand that it’s not the way the music should really sound. The music is in your head, and the right and left channels are all the way to the right and left of the soundstage. Often, if a specific instrument is mostly one one channel[1], it will be too far from center on headphones, even if it sounds acceptable on speakers. For music to sound “right” on headphones, it would have to be mixed for that type of listening.

What about live music? If you’re attending a concert with unamplified instruments – say, an orchestra or string quartet – then you’re hearing the sound as it should be (though it’s not “stereo;” it’s true surround sound). But if you attend a concert with amplification, you’re listening to speakers. Unless you’re centered close to the stage, you’re not hearing stereo at all. If you’re far back in an arena, you’re hearing a blend of all the speakers, and are unlikely to notice any instruments that are more weighted to one channel or the other, for the same reason you may not be hearing music in stereo at home.

I very much appreciate mono recordings. In fact, since I’ve discovered the great mono mixes of the pre-stereo days, I’ve realized just how artificial stereo sounds. Perhaps, some day, someone will invent a holographic speaker, where you only need one speaker to hear music that surrounds you. If so, you won’t need to worry so much about speaker placement. But until then, if your speakers aren’t set up correctly, you’re not hearing the music the way it was mixed.

Take some time to try out your speakers in different setups: in different positions, with more or less space between them, and with different amounts of space in front of walls. If you have speakers next to your TV, try distancing them from the screen. Start by moving them a foot or two, then try moving them as much as possible. Find the right balance; you may find that your music sounds very different indeed.
