When I have time I like to fiddle around with my sewing machine.

I also like to read -- usually about mutants, plagues and murderers.

And kittens. Especially kittens.

Cincinnasty? So LoL'd! Good writers creates their own words. Elig sounds German but that wouldn't surprise much in Indiana. Nice pics by the way. Any one ever told you that you look like the younger sister of Bjoerk? Reading your stuffs here, it seems you have the same 'unique' attitude. And I love Bjoerk! ;-)

I believe it is our fate to be here. It is our destiny. I believe this night holds, for each and every one of us, the very meaning of our lives. This is a war and we are soldiers. What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?

Jenny thanks for the kind words. I am working on an all natural fruit snack, I call them "fruit leathers" a fruit jerkey. That may sound strange but they are very good and healthy.I have some production/packaging issues to resolve. One step at a time and I'll be back.

Haha, No Jenny we aren't related. ELI stands for Emergent Leadership Institute. It's the non-profit I work that and we run www.helpindyonline.com. I saw the referers from your online article and I wanted to say thanks for the nod!

It's very hard for young non-profits in Indy to get any press. Thanks!

I hadto research that one. Here's what I found KOMBUCHA TEA These are abbreviated notes on how to culture Kombucha tea. White sugar is used because some people say it produces the highest amount of glucuronic acid. (See p596 Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.) According to some, the tannins, caffeine and theobromines are converted into substances that support health. However, you should read widely on the subject of kombucha because it is an area which seems to be clouded with half-truths. Aside from that though, kombucha tea definitely has a reputation for improving the health and it makes a delicious drink served with water, ginger beer or fruit juice. Because it has an acidity similar to apple cider vinegar it would be advisable to only drink small quantities. Most people I have spoken to suggest drinking no more than 1/4 of kombucha tea diluted with plenty of water, each day.

INGREDIENTS The following quantities are for one litre. 5 tablespoons = 1/3 cup

3-5 tablespoons of white sugar. 1 - 2 teaspoons black tea (organic). 1 - 2 teaspoons green tea (organic). 1 teaspoon elderflower tea (optional). 1 tablespoon papaya leaf tea (optional). 1 litre water (Grander water). 100 mls of Kombucha tea, (as an acidic starter). 1 piece of Kombucha plant. (about 4 inches in diameter.) INSTRUCTIONS Add the sugar to a glass bowl, dangle the tea bags over the side, then pour on boiling water. Use the tea bags to stir the liquid and dissolve the sugar. Leave the tea bags to steep until the tea has cooled. If you are using loose tea then steep the tea in a teapot, then mix with the sugar and boiled water in a bowl. Some herbs such as papaya leaf will need simmering in boiling water for 2 hours. Strain the herbs through muslin cloth.

When the tea has cooled to below 25C, mix in the Kombucha tea, then float the Kombucha plant on the surface. Cover the bowl with a tea towel held in place with an elastic band and leave it where it won't be disturbed for 2 - 4 weeks at 20-25C. The longer you ferment the kombucha the less sweet and the more acidic it will become. The Kombucha tea is ready when a new mushroom has covered the surface and all of the sugar has been digested. When the kombucha is ready, scoop the tea out the bowl with a small jug and transfer to bottles. Discard the sediment. Refrigerate the kombucha before drinking. Store unused kombucha mushrooms covered with kombucha tea in a jar in the refrigerator.

Psst … what's up with the karma points? This is a new development. If they're relative to how often you post, I think Indy.com/Star people should be exempt from earning them. Ahem.

I meant "you" in a general sense because before my break I had 78 and now I have none.

I don't think you have ever had any, either. What's going on there? I mean, you're staff.

Sunday's paper said Indy.com at noon Tuesday, May 20 will post where to get free tickets to Indiana Jones. I can't seem to find it. This isn't the first time something was in the paper and it couldn't be found on you site. Maybe I'm stupid but your new Indy.com site is a bite of a pain
