Write You - How to Build a Simple Potting Bench
When you are designing your own game one of the first things to learn is that no matter the testing that went into it yourself, at some point you are going to have to bring in outside beta testers who are likely to play and think in ways very different than what you assume they will.The first problem I encountered, and am still encountering, on releasing a test version game is that this style of game relies as much on the players as the game itself. Social interaction is the key to making players want to stay and play and play and play(and believe me, once you are hooked that is exactly what happens). I knew this, but I had overestimated the number of playtesters I would receive. I had 90 slots open, in 9 kingdom
Materials: One full sheet (4' by 8') of 3/4" treated plywood. Make sure it is treated so it will last a long time. Untreated plywood does not hold up well at all outdoors.

If you are man who wants to learn how to attract women, you need to watch American Beauty and pay close attention to how Wes Bentley's character Ricky Fitts seduces and gets Thora Birch's character Jane Burnham.When Ricky introduces himself to Jane at school, she attempts to control the moment by reminding him that they she had already met him the night before when he freaked her out. Instead of apologizing he tells her that he thinks she is interesting, there is a big difference between being creepy and interesting and Ricky's character shows you how to land on the side of interesting.When she tells him that she doesn't need some psycho obsessing over her he tells her he isn't obsessing just curios.Ri
The potting bench described in this article is actually identical to the potting bench that we have been using for years in our backyard nursery, and it has served us well, potting up tens of thousands of plants. I like it because it is large enough to pot up around ten small plants at a time, and it holds a significant amount of soil.
However, since I originally wrote this article, I designed and built a potting bench for home gardeners that you may like better. There are lots of photos and step by step plans for building it on this page: http://www.freeplants.com/free-potting-bench-plans.htm
On the above page you will also find a photo of one of my other potting bench designs, an outhouse with a flip out potting bench! It's unique, that's for sure.
Okay., back to my legless potting bench.
Here's a short list of what you'll need to build Mike's rugged, but functional potting bench.
Tools: A screwdriver, a small box wrench or crescent wrench, or if you have a 1/4" drive socket set that's even better. A tape measure, a small square, a drill, and a power saw.
Materials: One full sheet (4' by 8') of 3/4" treated plywood. Make sure it is treated so it will last a long time. Untreated plywood does not hold up well at all outdoors.

Ben Hogan's secret was his extraordinary ability to focus. This was not a gift from heaven. No, Hogan spent long hours perfecting his focus technique.Robert DeLeon, my mentor and a golf biomechanics instructor, grew up in Austin Texas. Besides taking lessons from Harvey Penick, he had the opportunity as a kid to sit and watch Hogan practice. Hogan would take hours to hit just forty balls. He would hit a ball and spend a few minutes to rewind the shot in his mind and go over every aspect of it. Before he hit the next ball he knew everything he did right and wrong with that shot and was ready to hit the next one even better.Hogan fine tuned every swing until it was perfect. He didn't want any bad swings to cree

It is the fantasy of most businesspeople to develop a product that is so unique, or a patent that is so ironclad, that we end up with a 100% market share—with, in effect, a monopoly.But if you look at the history of monopolies, they’ve ended up being decadent and remarkably non-innovative. Customers have paid the price, by getting stuck with obsolete products, and the monopolists, themselves, could have fared better by pushing themselves to invent yet the next, big thing.Without vibrant competition, unfortunately, we stagnate.Recently, I was reading an ezine author who lamented that he was, by far, the most prolific writer on the web. He asked, in so many words, “Is there no one out there, to challenge

It’s a fact that there are many Internet Entrepreneurs who are making in excess of $25,000 a month and some are making more than $100,000 every month from Google's Adsense program.However, it’s also a fact that some Adsense publishers are struggling to make the minimum required to trigger a monthly payment of only $100.Just in case you didn't know, Adsense is a program offered by Google that allows anyone with a website, or who is going to publish a website, the facility to publish Google Ads from which you (the website owner) receive a portion of the advertiser’s payment every time a site visitor clicks on one of those Google Ads on your site.So therefore, the more the advertiser pays for their ad to

15 dohickeys (you know, those little metal angle brackets, or corner brackets used to connect two boards together at a right angle.) These metal brackets are bent in a 90 degree angle and have two holes drilled in them.
30 bolts with nuts 1-?" long, and the correct size to fit the angle brackets you buy.
60 flat washers that fit the bolts.

"Mike's Legless Potting Bench" If you use this article you can use the photos that accompany the article, as long as you leave the reference to http://www.freeplants.com on the photos.
Notice in the above referenced photo that one end of the bench is resting on the potting soil pile, and the other on concrete blocks. Not having legs is really an advantage because you can get the potting bench much closer to your potting soil pile.
Before you start, draw this out on paper so you know exactly what each piece of wood is supposed to look like before make any cuts. This way you won't make a mistake that will ruin your piece of plywood.
Lay the plywood on a flat surface, like your garage floor. From one end measure in 16" and draw a line across the sheet of plywood. With your saw, cut along this line. The piece that you are cut
