Natural Tid Bit



Darweze, also known as the door to hell, is a 70 meter wide hole in the middle of the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan. The hole was formed in 1971 when a team of soviet geologists had their drilling rig collapse when they hit a cavern filled with natural gas. In an attempt to avoid poisonous discharge, they decided to burn it off, thinking that the gas would be depleted in only a few days. Derweze is still burning today.

Friendship Is Magic - Save Derpy

Because I love this show.
True story: When I was going through my break-up, this show stopped some of the tears.


I saw the post- and pre- edit on Derpy. Keep the new voice, keep the old script.

Never thought I'd want to cry over a fan-made cartoon pony. 


Gumball Fish Tank

 The only thing I'd edit out of this tutorial is the need for a filter, and instead of using live fish, use fake fish.

You will need the following items to make this fish tank:

-gumball machine
-sheet of glass
-glass cutter
-breaking pliers
-sharpie marker
-glass grinder (or a file)
-safety goggles
-aquarium sealant
-decorative rocks
-aquarium plant
-goldfish!

GOSSIP



Taken from the HOLY BIBLE: NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION (C) 1978 by the New
York Bible Society, used by permission of Zondervan Bible Publishers.

LEV 19:16 "'Do not go about spreading slander among your people. "'Do not
do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the LORD.

PSA 34:13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.

101:5 Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, him will I put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not endure.

PRO 6:19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up
dissension among brothers.

10:18 He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads
slander is a fool.

11:9 With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through
knowledge the righteous escape.

13 A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.

16:28 A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close
friends.

17:9 He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the
matter separates close friends.

18:8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a
man's inmost parts.

20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.

26:20 Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down.

ECC 10:11 If a snake bites before it is charmed, there is no profit for
the charmer.

MAT 12:36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of
judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

EPH 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only
what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it
may benefit those who listen.

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along
with every form of malice.

2TH 3:11 We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are
busybodies.

1TI 3:11 In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect,
not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.

5:13 Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from
house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and
busybodies, saying things they ought not to.

TIT 2:3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they
live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is
good.

3:1 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be
obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,

2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true
humility toward all men.

JAM 4:11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against
his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you
judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.

1PE 2:1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy,
envy, and slander of every kind.

3:10 For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue
from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

Moss Terrariums

DIY:  http://www.gardendesign.com/how-to/diy-moss-terrarium?pnid=122593#gallery-content
Also: http://www.mnn.com/your-home/organic-farming-gardening/blogs/show-em-whos-moss-12-terrarium-treasures




Gather your materials


You will need:
- a glass (our kit uses a 10" vase that doubles as a candle holder, but any clean glass container will work)
- fresh moss (Moss Acres is a good source, if you are not using our kit)
- rocks
- soil
- dried moss
- terrarium figurines (check craft stores for miniature figurines)
- a poking stick (a long thin wooden dowel)
- a spray bottle with water

Set up a clean working area and unwrap all of your materials, so they're close at hand.

Start with a layer of rocks

Terrariums are made in layers.

First, take your rocks and put down your first layer. Put down just an inch of rocks, as after all the layers are complete you will want headspace for your little people!


Wet the dried moss


Next, take the dried moss and put it in a bowl of water and soak for a minute.



Place the dry moss
 Take a handful of the wet dry moss and squeeze out the excess water. Create a sort of pancake with this material and press it down over the rocks, covering your rocks as completely as possible.

Create a barrier
Use your poking stick to push the wet dried moss around so that it completely covers the rocks. This layer of dried moss forms a barrier so that your soil does not fall into your drainage area—the barrier prevents a funky terrarium!


Add the soil
Now put down a thin layer of soil. This is where you can get creative by adding a hill, a slope, or a valley by shaping your layer of soil. Use your poking stick to sculpt the soil.

Before adding the next layer of moss, give the soil a light misting with the spray bottle.

Add the live moss
Take your live moss and add it to the terrarium. Play around with it!

You can add different dimensions by tearing off bits and varying the types of moss used. Using your poking stick, push down the moss and move it around.

Decorate
Add twigs, pebbles, or acorns to your terrarium for landscaping details.

How to take care of your terrarium
You're all done! You can enjoy your terrarium for years to come!

Moss terrariums are very easy to care for. You'll need to mist it with a spray bottle every 2 to 4 weeks and keep it out of direct sun. Moss terrariums dig filtered or indirect light, or even artificial light. Often, your terrarium will require less and less care as it ages.
