Soak corrugated cardboard and lay it down to help as weed control and eventually turn into fungi foodĬover all the jive you’ve been puttin’ down with wood chips The process we will demonstrate is straight forward, we will If you have a patch of ground and a big dream, you my friend can make your steamy fantasy of becoming a mushroom farmer a reality. As long as you keep them moist, they will grow in full sun but some shade makes life easier. Where most mushrooms are grown on logs or in buckets or bags, Wine Caps thrive in gardens and beds. They are easy to grow and they don’t really take any equipment beyond what you probably already have in your garage as a bonus you should get a harvest the same year you plant and they are delicious to boot. Wine Cap Mushrooms (Stropharia rugosoannulata) scratch a lot of beginning mycologists itches. with me…now onto a bold mycological future I really thought that both of those get togethers might have turned into solo excursions but Chattanooga came through and they were so much fun (with a little danger thrown in but that’s a story for another pint). Thanks to everyone who has shown interest and encouragement in this project and a special thanks to those who have participated in the first two events that we have done - an initial meetup at OddStory brewing and the Oyster Mushroom Log Inoculation workshop on the beautiful Cumberland Plateau. So many people have reached out and I think we are going to have a very successful club where we can share camaraderie, ideas, growing tips & experiences. It occurred to me that if I was interested in this, you probably were too and boy was I right. Millions of YouTube videos watched and reddit posts read - later, I was ready to grow some Shiitake…and Oysters … and Morels…you get the picture. My wife, who is used to this kind of over saturation with esoteric minutia, was appalled to catch me listening to mushroom podcasts (they are out there), but alas that is where things had gone. Me too! (nice to see you fellow obsessives). I suspect that your interest in this club predisposes you as the type of person who goes f-ing overboard gets endearingly immersed in their passions. I knew that I had to give mushroom growing another look. ![]() These growing experiences along with some fortuitous hiking finds of Chicken of the Woods and Maitake were creating an action-item in my brain With almost no attention this block was spewing out amazing beautiful Blue Oysters. Fast forward to the early long-haired COVID days, when everyone was looking for wholesome diversions…a man can only drink so many (delicious hand crafted) cocktails and eat so much sourdough bread before his consciousness turns to other things to shove down his pie-hole… enter an Oyster Mushroom Grow Kit my son was gifted, it was amazing. Despite my unrealistic expectations, I was not soon swimming in kiddie pool of those savory fungi caps BUT we got a few and that was enough to plant a seed (spore?) in my mind. To catch you upon what got us here - several years ago a friend and I bought a bag of Shiitake dowels and inoculated some unknown tree that I cut out of an overgrown area of my yard. If you are reading this you are in on the ground floor of mushroom revolution in Chattanooga, Congrats! That 4th grade math teacher that insisted that you were never going anywhere is eating those hurtful words now, Finally!

Using white background enables businesses to provide buyers with dark fonts which are easier to see, read and notice.Ī transparent or white background throughout your website promotes consistency and develops a professional product theme. ![]() Ultimately, the customers will be frustrated and leave their buying decisions.

Readability of content is one of the most prominent factors in delivering a great & satisfactory user experience to online visitors. By using white in the backdrop, sellers try to minimise other visual elements in an image than the product itself so that the buyers can look at the product with significant details.

(You might notice the Kobo logo screened onto the front of the plastic I wish it wasn’t there, but the truth is that I never notice it when I’m reading.) There’s no doubt that the Kindle is nicer to hold-but it’s also $100 more. The big difference between them is that the Kobo has a plastic back, while the Kindle’s is aluminum. Like the high-end Kindle Oasis, the Kobo Libra H2O is a waterproof ereader with a sidelit seven-inch diagonal E Ink screen and a grippable edge with two physical page-turn buttons. Down to the hardware For $100 less you don’t get a nice aluminum back. However, I’m planning on keeping a Kindle around-and Calibre and its associated DeDRM plugin make it relatively easy for me to download old Kindle purchases and load them on a Kobo. ![]() Really, Amazon’s greatest advantage over Kobo is that I’ve got years of book purchases locked up in Amazon’s proprietary, DRM-encoded format. Amazon has improved a lot of its maddening typography features over the years-forced justification being perhaps its greatest sin-but Kobo’s still ahead.īoth services let you buy books from their online stores. Kindle fonts seem jagged compared to Kobo fonts. I can’t tell how much of the Kindle’s poor text handling is its operating system and how much is its selection of typefaces, but type just looks better on the Kobo. The other superior feature of the Kobo is typography. Using Libby got me using library ebooks once in a while, but using a Kobo has made it a regular habit. If you check out ebooks from the library, or might consider doing so, the Kobo’s simply better. There’s no Overdrive interface on the Kindle itself. You need to check out a book on the web or in Libby, then click to send the book to, then click on to send the book to your Kindle. While Kindles will work with Overdrive, it’s a circuitous process. You can see your Overdrive queue and return books, all from the device itself. If I’ve checked out a book elsewhere-say, via the excellent Libby app, the book will download automatically the next time the device syncs to the network. Unsurprisingly, Kobo connects well with Overdrive, allowing me to browse and check out books directly on the device. Many libraries will let you borrow ebooks using Overdrive, a service that’s a part of the same company that owns Kobo. But in a few areas, it’s clearly superior. The software on the Kobo is, as you might expect, quite similar to that on the Kindle. Still, how is it possible that the Kindle didn’t let you use the cover of the book you’re currently reading as the screen saver image until April 2021?! More library books are coming to my Kobo soon. I’ve been using Kindles since the beginning, and the pace of Kindle software innovation is quite slow, though it’s actually shown a bit of improvement over the last few years. And while the Libra H2O is made of less premium materials than my old favorite, the Kindle Oasis, it also costs $100 less. It was just idle checking, I swear, and that’s why it took a couple of weeks for me to buy a Kobo Libra H2O.Īfter reading a few books on the Kobo, I’m prepared to declare that I actually prefer the Kobo to the Kindle. And that was when-as you do-I popped over to Kobo’s website to see what their current crop of ereaders looked like. ![]() ![]() The Kobo, a 2016-vintage Aura One, offered a few features that the Kindle didn’t, and I liked the idea of putting a mostly-unloved device to work at something it was good at.Īt some point I noticed a big gouge in the screen, probably a legacy of a school trip my daughter took a few years ago. This past year I’ve been spending more time reading books on a Kobo ereader, rather than on my Kindle. The Kobo Libra H2O is $100 less than the similar Kindle Oasis.

Younger students will likely need your help understanding the difference. In all fairness, we must teach students two key words and their definitions from Merriam-Webster to better understand the idea of fairness:Įquality: the quality or state of being equal the quality or state of having the same rights, social status, etc.Įquity: fairness or justice in the way people are treated It’s likely that their thinking will have changed a little bit. Unpack each of these examples to check for understanding before asking again if fair means equal. Explain to them how you chose that person and expect shouts of, “That’s not fair!” Let students explain why it’s not and what they think would be a fair way to determine criteria for an award. Select someone who has something like you, maybe blue eyes, brown hair, or a white shirt. ![]() Watch how straight and tall students sit as you contemplate who the recipient will be. As they share their answers, hand each of them a small bandage to fix their injury, no matter how big it is.įinally, announce that you’re giving a WOW Award. Ask students to share aloud the most serious injury they can think of: a broken leg, a concussion, a laceration that requires stitches. Then, use the one-size-fits-all bandage metaphor. This will challenge their thinking about fair meaning we’re all the same. After asking students if fair means equal (their typical response is a resounding, “yes!”), respectfully demand that everyone with glasses remove them because it’s not “fair” if some have glasses while the rest of the class doesn’t. ![]() Start by using the eye-opening example of wearing prescription eyewear. ![]() Once they adjust their thinking, however, and can understand and appreciate the simple fact that fair doesn’t always mean equal, it doesn’t seem as insurmountable an issue.īut, how do we effectively concretize that abstract concept? Let’s face it: Life doesn’t always seem fair, especially to our young people. You’ve probably heard cries of, “ That’s not fair!” a time or two in the recent past. 11/14/2023 0 Comments Iflash drive reviews![]() Here are a few that might be worth considering for some folks. We have tested many other USB flash drives that did not make the cut. SanDisk offers a two-year limited warranty on these drives.Ĭonnector: USB Type-C 3.1 and Apple Lightning It sports a Lightning port on one end and a USB-A plug on the other. Don't have a USB-C port on your laptop? Then the very similar iXpand Go ($40) is the way to go. Handily, you can configure the app to automatically back up photos when you insert the drive. Backing up photos from my wife’s iPhone took a couple of hours the first time. It works well, but it’s not the fastest drive (90 MB/s read, 35 MB/s write). If you want to use this drive with an iPhone or iPad, you must install the iXpand app (not required for Android devices). Storage options top out at 256 gigabytes. This design means that one plug is always exposed, and while SanDisk includes a separate plastic cover that slots on, I fear I'll inevitably lose it. It has a metal casing with a loop for a keychain, and it is very slim. It has a Lightning plug for iPhones and iPads at one end and flips to reveal a USB-C plug at the other, so you can transfer files to or from Android devices and laptops. If you want a flash drive to back up and copy photos and other files from your smartphone, I like the iXpand Luxe.
