When the nearby strip malls and shopping plazas are in flames, rioters tearing one another’s hair out and stomping one another to death in the blood-and-covid19-soaked parking lot, my onions will be just about ready to harvest.

We’re talking a solid six weeks or so before you’re plant your tomatoes and peppers, give or take. Onions require a pretty long growing season, though one nice thing is that you can harvest them pretty much any time you want, either for green onions and/or as scallions, as smaller…

Since fully immersing myself into the gardening hobby — some would say obsession — my primary focus has always been on growing food. Growing lots of stuff to eat. Producing. Not from any kind of necessity, but because good production is a nice, tangible result of your efforts. All that food, those jars of pickles, those hot sauces you share, the jars of salsa that are 17x better than store bought, all of that stuff is something you can see and touch and enjoy. To me, it’s not much different than recording music at home or writing or painting. When you’re done, there is something to show for your efforts.

The first thing you need to do is recognise that everyone has her own vocal timbre, i.e. the colour of the voice. Dramatic is the heaviest, moving down to spinto, then to lyric, and then soubrette is the lightest. Dramatic voices are very heavy and full. You then have spinto, which actually means ‘pushed’. These singers tend to have an edgy voice and can handle belting at intermittent levels,…

Homes and offices, alike, require repair services for various systems from time to time. It could be your heating system, your solar or electrical appliances, or even wiring that needs to be checked. Whichever it may be, you will need reputable repair services at one point or another. To put it into perspective, a typical air conditioning system can run up to 1600 hours a year, which is almost equal to 88,000 miles for a car being driven at 55 miles per hour. Now, that is a very long distance to have a car run without maintenance, and it would be the same for any machine for that matter. Conducting routine maintenance on your HVAC system is the best way to ensure that it withstands…
