Earplugs and traffic cones: Two essentials for making it through the night and into the morning at the homeless shelter.
Earplugs are to shut out the snoring of strangers in close proximity; the traffic cone sits on the floor at the end of your sleeping pad -- the number correlates to the sign-in sheet upstairs where I or somebody like me (the volunteers who say, when you walk in the door and present your ID card: "hi -- how you doing -- overnight and a hot meal? bag lunch for tomorrow? and would you like an early wake up too?") the folks who write down your call time when you asked for 4.30 -- because "early" around here is any time before 6.30, when the lights come on and everybody else has to get up and out the door within the hour.
It's usually the folks with jobs who ask for the early wake up. They're the ones whose cones we find in the dark and then gently shake awake so they can head out into the pre-dawn and start the long peregrination by bus or train or foot to the minimum wage job that's not even barely keeping them fed or else we wouldn't see them back here tomorrow night.
Another essential, and harder to come by, as I learned when I scoured the office looking for one for a dear woman my mother's age, neatly dressed, whose poverty shows most acutely in the teeth that went missing long ago -- is a phone book.
Handy for tracking down businesses, handy for planning your next step, if you're not one of the ones lucky enough to need that early wake up call, and you're just trying to find yourself a job, so you can get out of this place and get yourself a home of your own -- where the only thing to shatter the snore free blissful silence is an alarm clock that you set your own damn self.
Phone books have the advantage of not requiring electricity, not requiring hardware and software, not requiring an Internet connection. And phonebooks, increasingly, are getting tossed in the trash bin because folks with all of the above can get the listings they need online.
While my friend on the other side of the desk, with none of the above, cannot.
Full disclosure: In my day job I'm one of the people who build those sites, so and I'm not advocating against them. It's just that I'm reminded every month when I work here that the digital divide is no myth. And it keeps getting wider.

Essential oils are the pure essence of a plant or natural herb. However, it is difficult to leave out the presence of pesticides in the alleged pure vital oil, especially in the age where pesticides develop a crucial constituent of gardening. The healing perks of essential oils come to be apparent when it relates to relaxing and comforting away the cares of the globe. Aromatherapy is the method of making use of volatile plant oils, consisting of essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being.

The painted hills of the Sutton Mountain Wilderness Study Area in central Oregon is one of those BLM gems that almost no-one outside the local area has heard about. The lower part of the WSA has exposures of the same clay formations that are found in the much smaller but equally spectacular John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Painted Hills Unit, which lies just across the valley.
The upper peak of Sutton Mountain itself rises 2,000 feet above the valley with layers of ash and basalt building to the crest. The area is near the John Day River about an hour northeast of Prineville.
The Sutton Mountain (28,872 acres) Wilderness Study Areas is comprised of public lands which are under consideration for wilderness designation by Congress. These lands area managed by the BLM in a manner which maintains their suitability for preservation as wilderness.
When visiting, we ask the everyone bring along the 10 essentials and respect the following regulations:
-Vehicle Use: Motorized vehicle use is limited to roads signed as designated routes as depicted on the map.
-Cross-country travel on foot or horseback is allowed; however, cross-country vehicle travel is strictly prohibited.
-Violations of motor vehicle use restrictions are subject to a fine up to $1000 and/or imprisonment.
-Leave a clean camp by practicing the “Pack it In, Pack it Out” ethic and leave the site better than as you found it.
-Give wildlife a break: camp away from watering areas.
-Use dead and down wood for campfires; the cutting of live vegetation or standing dead trees is prohibited.
-Obtain landowner permission before crossing private land.

This is to mark the visit by the Hereios of the We're Here! group to Domestic Essentials. Throughout the final decade of the 20th century I was working across northern England, and especially in winter I would carry equipment such as a blanket (and latterly sleeping bag) in case of an emergency. This box should now be returned to the boot of the car for the winter, possibly after rationalisation.
