Reading Online or Printed Version?

Yesterday, I heard about a new newspaper for Chicago that will reprint blogs and that got me thinking about reading the printed version of text versus reading it online.

My preference is to read information that I need to study in print and keep the online version for quick reference. I love to eat my breakfast while reading the newspaper. It is a comfortable early morning habit that gets me ready for the day. I don't watch any TV news. The reason for that is, that I consider it government/corporation propaganda. They show us the news they decide is newsworthy. So reading the news in the newspaper lets me easily scan over the headlines and then choose and pick the articles I want to read and learn more about.

I also like ebooks and find PDF books quite handy. I sometimes read them online, but the ones I want to study more thoroughly and highlight sections that grab my attention, I print out and bind in book form, usually 2 pages per print page and I print on both sides of the paper. If in the future the I don't want the information any longer, I can always take the book apart again and recycle the paper.

I am really curious if I am the exception or if there are others who think like me? I would love the get your feedback.

Sleep Tip from the Mentalist TV Show

I like watching the Mentalist TV show and yesterday I got finally around to watch my latest recorded show. To my delight and surprise Patrick Jane's character gave this tip to help you fall asleep: If you have falling asleep you can count sheep or on your in-breath say or think 1 and then when you breath out say or think 2. On your next in-breath say or think 1 and when you breath out say or think 2. Keep on repeating this and you will be surprised that when you wake up it is morning. Give it a try and then connect with me on Facebook and let me know what happened . . . counting sheep

How to Make Simple Square Foot Gardening Templates

backside of template with holes drilled I am just about ready to start planting my square foot garden . Until now I have used string and sticks to mark things, but then I got an idea of how I could easily make some templates from old plastic election signs. The material was easy to cut with a knife and a permanent marker would help with the design. At first I thought that I would need a whole bunch of templates, but as I got going I realized that I could actually get away with only 2 templates. First cut 2 12x12 inch pieces from the plastic signs Draw a grid: template 1: 3 rows and 3 columns template 2: 4 rows and 4 columns Mark the center of each square of the grid by drawing diagonal lines Use the electric drill and a ½" drill bit and drill a hole at each center point. Template 1 Template 1 Grid of 3 row and 3 columns (9 plants - holes circled in blue) This can also be used for 1 plant per square foot (hole circled in black and then blue)

Companion Planting Chart

Have you ever heard of companion planting ? Wikipedia explains it very nicely: Companion planting is the planting of different crops in proximity (in gardening and agriculture), on the theory that they assist each other in nutrient uptake, pest control, pollination, and other factors necessary to increasing crop productivity. Companion planting is a form of polyculture. Companion planting is used by farmers and gardeners in both industrialized and developing countries for many reasons. Many of the modern principles of companion planting were present many centuries ago in cottage gardens in England and home gardens in Asia.
