Grow A Greener Community - Become A Master Composter
Comments (0)Grow a Greener Community  Become a Master Composter Inspire others and make a difference in your community. The annual Master Composter Training Program is currently accepting applications from Alameda County residents for the 2008 Class. The Master Composter Program is a certificated, extensive compost course. Participants receive training in the art and science of basic and worm composting, soil health, and Bay Friendly gardening techniques. Participants use this knowledge to train others through a compost community outreach project. All participants receive a compost bin and several composting and gardening books, including the East Bay Municipal Utility DistrictÂs "Plants and Landscapes for Summer Climates of the SF Bay Region." Teachers who complete the program are eligible for a $200 stipend to use toward school garden and/or classroom compost activities. Classes will meet Tuesday nights weekly in Oakland from early February through mid-May 2008, plus a Saturday field trip. The Program offers graduate level and continuing education credits from California State University at Hayward or credit from Merritt College Landscape Horticulture Department. Master Composter training enhances the skills of community leaders, activists, educators, environmentalists, gardeners, and recyclers. We encourage people of all ages, abilities, and ethnic groups to apply. If you have ideas and energy for community actions, this class is for you. HOW? Complete an application by January 11, 2008. Reserve the evening of January 16 or 17 for an interview. Visit our website at www.BayFriendly.org to apply on-line or download an application. From the home page, click on the Bay-Friendly Gardening link on the bottom left, click on the Residents icon, and then the Master Composter Program link. The website also provides a class syllabus and examples of projects from past participants. For more information, please contact StopWaste.Org at www.BayFriendly.org or 510-444-SOIL....See MoreCONGRATULATIONS (and Deep Gratitude) to My Community!!!
Comments (22)Hi Joyful & Sparksals, Yes, I am here. For some unexplainable reason SOMETHING changed at the GardenWeb servers, and my log-in won't save.... Which means E-V-E-R-Y time I want to visit the boards, I have to deal with a laborious "Flash" presentation of some type or another before I can then scroll down and re-log in (even if I click the "save me" box.) I hadn't noticed much recently in the way of financial or economic questions & conversations (not that I thought I'd be a significant contribution to,) so I had fallen into checking every few days, as opposed to hourly (as when I am frantically juggling conversations all over the web.) Thanks for thinking of me! I definitely think of you, and fear naught, I *AM* dropping by & eyeballing the threads from time to time. Hope you're all having an awesome weekend!

Comments (4)I agree that disengaging is a great idea. The "stepkids" were adults when you became involved with their father so there truly is no reason for him to have any contact with his ex... I'd have to agree with the ex wife in that regard. Of course, there are going to be graduations, weddings & grandchildren so there is going to be times everyone is in the same room & yes, it would be best if everyone could behave like adults & not make those situations uncomfortable... but you cannot control what someone else does. But, on day to day or even holidays, there is nothing you can do about the kids not coming around and you should probably plan things to make your daughter's holidays special. An invitation was offered & leave it at that. As a child of divorce, when I was in my early 20's I had to choose mom or dad's house. Many times I chose the parent that I felt "needed" me more than where I would have the most fun or enjoyment, which was usually my mom. After all, dad had remarried & had his wife... mom was all alone. I wonder if that's typical for children of divorce? Today I am in my 40's and have a great relationship with my dad, but I might have been resentful if my stepmom had gotten involved in my relationship with my dad... I was an adult when they got together & she had nothing to do with my upbringing. As it turned out, she stayed out of things to do with me & dad, but she did make an effort to have her own relationship with me, she didn't pressure or push but she was there & listened when I needed to talk or ask advice. I didn't really learn to appreciate it completely until I was in my 30's. I agree with focus on your child & your husband. The kids, as they mature, should come around. If they don't, it's their loss. Let your husband forge his own relationship with his own kids. Sometimes kids (in their 20's) want to cut the apron strings & don't want to have as much involvement with their parents. I believe if the ex bad mouths you or your husband... the kids are old enough to figure out if there's validity to the ex's claims and if not, they will eventually hold that against their mother. My mom talked bad about dad after the divorce. For a while, I stood by mom out of loyalty but as I got older, my relationship with mom is not very close while my relationship with dad has grown much closer. I'd suggest to back off & not give them a reason to believe anything their mom might say is true....See MoreCan I pair a 2 stage variable furnace with a communicating condenser?
Comments (3)You will have to provide the model numbers of the equipment in order to verify if they will communicate properly. This is needed to determine what will work. On most communicating components, there are legacy connections for non-communicating system compatibility. You may be able to run the condenser in 2 stage mode but need the model numbers and manufacturer. Unfortunately, hvac-talk.com has become a refuge for sanctimonious know-it-alls who rarely now offer any useful help for homeowners....See Moresushipup1
