THE TRAPDOOR         Tricks, Traps, and Trouble to avoid...
Things That Go Bump on the Web ...
From before - From the Langa List - "Don't be fooled" ..  there are folks out there trying to scam people looking for "real" software. This one is about Spybot (highly recommended) and the cheap imitations.
Always check VERY closely when looking for any software - be sure you have the right URL and are getting the right product.  If you're not sure, go back to the source and re-ask.  Always better safe than sorry

Many of you know our dear friend, Lord-Icon.  We ask you to remember him and his wife, Kat, in prayer.  He’s been diagnosed with inoperable cancer of the throat and lungs.  Lord-Icon and Kat are believing for a miracle and we are standing with them in faith, expecting a miracle.  If you would
like to leave a message of faith, hope, and love for them, you may do so here. Reading the messages there makes my heart overflow.  How incredibly blessed we are to have the friends and family created here on SL-IRC.  Thank you to all who have expressed such beautiful, powerful messages and who have joined with us in prayer.

THE BOOK NOOK         Book Nook by Lorellei
Suggestions and comments .. submit them to the newsletter with Book Nook in the subject line.
 
Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things
By William McDonough and Michael Braungart
Published in 2002, paperback, Retails for $25.00; can be found for $12.00
ISBN: 0865475873, 108 pages, Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
 
This is a different kind of book than usually reviewed here. It was sent to me by an environmentally conscious friend who is serious about leaving this world in better shape than it is now.  I think it is a worthwhile source of valuable information.

American architect McDonough and German chemist Braungart are partners in an industrial design firm that designs and produces environmentally sound buildings, equipment and products. They believe that conventional, expensive eco-efficiency measures things like recycling or emissions reduction are inadequate for protecting the long-term health of our planet. They offer clearly workable alternatives, citing examples from their own work, such as rooftops covered with soil and plants that serve as natural insulation; nontoxic dyes and fabrics.  They have the attention of such companies as Ford and Nike, and their book is a primer on how to make manufacturing work in the future competent to take part in natural cycles, having little effect on the overall ecology of the earth.
 
The authors practice what they preach. The book has heavy white pages, smooth and bright, and the pages are made of plastic resins and inorganic fillers. While the pages will last as long as any normal book, they can be recycled by normal means to make paper of equal quality. The ink, which contains no dangerous chemicals, can be removed with a safe solvent bath or extremely hot water.

In any event, it is a book worthy of your time. While it isn't an ordinary "relaxing read," it is a book to be taken seriously. Give it a try - you can buy it used or new - and when you have finished, you can even recycle it if you do not pass it on to someone else.

PETS AND PESTS         Critters   by Momma
If you have questions, interesting facts or suggestions, other notable news concerning pets and pests, please submit them to the newsletter with Pets and Pests in the subject line

I decided to combine my Pets and Pests column with one NOLady has been requesting....Gardening.
Here are a few simple recipes for home remedies to help control some common garden pests or problems.
 
Soft-bodied bugs:
*Straight 70% or 90% isopropyl rubbing alcohol - touch insects with a soaked cotton swab, or for larger infestations, spray the entire affected plant, being sure to thoroughly wet all surfaces. 
Repeat every 3 days for about 2 weeks.
* Garlic/pepper spray - liquefy 2 bulbs of garlic and 2 hot peppers in a blender 1/2 to 2/3 full of water. Strain to remove the solids and add enough water to the garlic/pepper juice to make 1 gallon of concentrate. Use 1/4 cup of concentrate per gallon of spray. To make garlic tea, simply omit the pepper and add another bulb of garlic. Add two tablespoons of blackstrap molasses for more control.
 
Hard-bodied bugs:
* Mix 1 teaspoon (5 ml) each cooking oil and liquid dishwashing soap or detergent in a quart (liter) of water.  Concentrations are not critical - some recommend a tablespoon (15 ml) of oil be used.  Shake well, and spray the plant, being sure to thoroughly wet all surfaces.  Repeat every 3 days for about 2 weeks.  (The soap breaks down the waterproof, waxy coating on the insects' shells, and the oil will smother them.)

General-purpose Insect Spray:
* One cup (250 ml) each Formula 409 or Fantastik household cleaner/degreaser and isopropyl rubbing alcohol and 2 cups water, making a quart or liter of spray.
* Orange Plus, a household cleaner made from byproducts of orange juice production, can be sprayed directly on plants to eliminate insects.  One cup Orange Plus to two cups water in a spray bottle, for regular use.
* In a 1 quart spray bottle mix 1 tsp Murphy's Oil Soap, 1 tsp Sunspray (or cooking oil), 1tbs lemon juice, and fill the rest with 1/2 water and 1/2 alcohol.
 
Ants:
*Here's another volunteered from the world of cyberspace:  raw grits!  Sprinkle them in an area where ants are attracted, and they will gobble them up.  Later they will swell in their bellies. (Need I say more?) Thanks John!
 
 Cinnamon as a Fungicide:
* Put 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of cinnamon powder in a pint (500 ml) of isopropyl rubbing alcohol.  Shake well and let stand overnight.  Filter the solution to remove the sediment (coffee filters work well), and use the brown liquid as a spray.  (This is good for powdery mildew, as well.)
* Put the cinnamon powder in hot water.  Shake well and let stand for several days.  Filter and use as above. (Some feel that the alcohol can be too desiccating when used on seedlings.)
*Put one cup of the alcohol cinnamon-extract in a pint bottle, add two tablespoons of liquid dishwashing detergent, and top up with water.  Use as a spray.  The soap and alcohol are good insecticides, while the cinnamon is a fungicide.

Last but not least, I found this little tidbit while surfing the net....
Crown Rot Treatment:
Crown rot is caused by letting water sit in the folds between leaves, resulting in a bacterial or fungal infection, or even both.  Prevention is the key, so water or mist early in the day so the stuff has time to dry by nightfall.  If you do get a case of crown rot:  Pour a liberal amount of hydrogen peroxide in the wound and let it stand for about 5 minutes to kill the infecting agents. Tilt the plant to pour the liquid out of the crown. Let the plant dry completely. Sprinkle with dry cinnamon. Treat the plant normally, being sure to keep the wound dry.

foo! FOGWEB FOLLIES   
A short column of made-up facts and non-information
...brought to you by your friendly neighborhood arachnid
As we all know, things are bad in the last girl months of June and Julie.  It seems that some of our staff also have strannnge secret thoughts that come out only in email ...
 
For instance
 <Amazing> okay...looks like you put in the wrong addy for that one... you had 'slicers' instead of 'slircers'

* LindyM hopes she didn't slice anyone

* LindyM hides

* Amazing thinks you can hide but you can’t run...lol
 
Now, when staff end up sending mail to "slicers" - I think it might be time for everybody to make sure the kids are inside and all the cutlery is out of sight.  You NEVER know what they were REALLY thinking!

Til next time ..

Married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said, "Honey,  25 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa-bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old blonde. Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed and plasma-screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 50-year-old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding up your side of things."

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a  hot 25-year-old blonde, and she would make d*mn sure that I would once again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, and sleeping on a sofa-bed!

 
Thanks to Kitten^ for this one!
In A Perfect World
A person should feel as good at 50 as he did at 17 and he would actually be as smart at 50 as he
thought he was at 17.
You could give away a baby bed without getting pregnant.
Forget-me-nots would stimulate the memory.
Doing what was good for you would be what you enjoyed doing the most.
Pro baseball players would complain about teachers being paid contracts  worth millions of dollars.
People always have good reasons to be optimistic.
You would never fumble, but if you did, you would recover the ball yourself
The mail would always be early, the check would always be in the mail, and it would be written for more than you expected.
Potato chips might have calories, but if you ate them with a dip, the calories would be neutralized.
If the guy from the government said to you, "I'm here to help," not only  would he mean it, but also he'd do it.
First impressions wouldn't count for nearly as much as ultimate performance. Winning might be a nice thing, but that would be about all.
All people could expect to be accepted.
Every once in a while at least, a kid who always closed the door softly  would be told, "Go back and slam the door."
Highway patrolmen would never be around when you're running late, but  would always be at your side when a BMW blows past or a Mac truck won't get off your bumper.
The better food tasted, the less calories it would have.
Warranties would be for 13 months and products would fail at 12.
More would be accomplished by governments when they spent more.


GUMBO FOR THE HEART AND MIND
 

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one that has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind that you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their hearts but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because life is short and now is when you have the chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying."

"A successful relationship is not built on givers and takers only, but on people who also become sharers".

A Friend

A friend is someone we turn to,
When our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure,
For our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives,
With beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the world we live in,
A better and happier place.

Thanks once again to those who send in articles. Please encourage your channel folks to send in important dates for the month, channel chatter, and general news!  It shows our network's sense of continuity when we can share these events with those outside the channels we normally visit. Our network is special in the way channels support and and encourage each other like a community. For those newer to our community, our Sunday evening #Townhall meetings are an excellent opportunity to come and meet other folks that we would not normally encounter. Come join us for these meetings (okay, not so much a meeting as a block party with the occasional announcement, eduacational presentation, or sometimes even guest speakers on interesting subjects.  Join us there when you can.
