I have been researching these last few days- after checking countless message boards and forums the best the general consensus for the best porta-potties is Thetford brand. The higher the model number- the higher the seat and greater capacity.
They are sold pretty much everywhere- Walmart, Canadian Tire, etc. I also see them for a lot less money on ebay.

Better Gardens And Backyard Tips
By Daniel Roshard
A nice backyard or garden is a perfect addition to any house, it creates a place for family members to sit outside, enjoy the outdoors and change their atmosphere completely. Once you have a place that has an outdoor backyard or garden you will need to put in some effort into the design of the garden, it has an amazing affect on your family’s health and well-being. This article will discuss the creation of harmony in your garden or backyard and bring peace and happiness within your home.
Vastu in Sanskrit means nature, a surrounding or environment. The word “Vaasthu” denoting anything existing such as house or shelter. Shastra means systems. Vastu shastra is an ancient art and science, containing principles and practices of constructing buildings which ensures a harmonious balance between man and nature and thereby bring all round happiness, health, wealth and prosperity. Vastu Shastra dates back some 7,000 – 10,000 years ago in India.
The Indians observed the Nature and recorded how different rays of the sun, the magnetic poles, the makeup of the land, soil, slope, structures, etc. affected all living things. It is the oldest recorded architectural treatise known to man and it is from this science that some of the world’s most enduring structures have been created.
According to the science of Vastu, all of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) aspire and need to be in harmony. This is true to all living things, including plants, we all requires that all five elements be balanced. The disproportion of any one element—quality of the earth, quality of water, wind, sun, or the amount of space it is planted in—will inhibit its growth. In this way a wise gardener sets up a balanced environment for his plants to grow free from disease and stress.
You should remember that each area of your garden is associated with one of the five elements. The southwest area of your garden is associated with the earth element and creates a sustaining and grounding force. In the northeast, water element is at home. This element will allow your plants to flourish. The fire element in the southeast supports disease-free plants. The northwest is related to the air element encouraging cross-pollination.
So now that we discussed the theory, here are few great tips you can use to bring the five elements into better balance with your garden and make it a sanctuary that is not only beautiful to look and wonderful to spend time in, but will actually have an empowering affect on the health and well-being of you and your family.
Invest in the southwest area of your garden. This should be done in order to stabilize the force of the earth element. You can do this with a rock garden, tall trees and even a stone statue.
The water element can be used in the garden by using low plantings in the northeast that will allow the flow of positive solar energy. Add a fountain or reflection pool or pond in this area to reflect this beneficial energy throughout the garden.
The southeast side of your garden should be devoted to the fire element, here you can place a fire pit, the fire pit is a great way to serve the fire element, and it will also be a delight to look at, once placed in the right location and setup properly, you and your family will enjoy a fire pit. Red symbolizes this direction so plant tulips, geraniums and dahlias here.
Use wind chimes to balance the air element in the northwest. Since blue is the color of this area, plant bluebells, forget-me-nots and iris to enhance the influences coming from this direction.
A well-designed and tended garden, using the principles discussed here, consideration to space, earth and fire using a fire pit will benefit you and all the members of your family for years to come.

Avoiding the E-mail Overwhelm: Three Top Tips for E-mail Time Management
Depending on how you use it, email can either be a great communication tool that saves you time and keeps you from being interrupted; or the world’s greatest timewaster. The fact you’re reading this means you already understand the power of e-mail to communicate ideas, educate, and build skills that will benefit your business. But if you find yourself constantly stopping what you’re doing to read the e-mail that just came through, or writing to friends when you know you’re meant to be working, you could do with trying out our three top e-mail time management tips for today.
- SCHEDULE TIME FOR E-MAIL
Many people work with their e-mail program running in the background the entire time they’re on their PC, which means they get immediate notification when an e-mail comes it. Unfortunately, no matter how good your intentions and how strong your willpower, once you get that notification, it’s hard to ignore. You want to check and see what the message that came through was - after all, it might be important!
In reality, unless you’re expecting a specific message from someone that you’ll to need to act on immediately, few e-mails are important enough to sit on the edge of your chair waiting for. When you’re trying to focus on something else, stopping to read e-mail that’s just come in is simply a distraction. And you don’t just lose the time it takes to read the e-mail - every time you stop, you lose your flow in your work, and lose more time getting back into it again when you’re finished with the e-mail.
Instead of always keeping your e-mail running in the background, consider scheduling an hour each morning, and another hour in the afternoon to check e-mail, organise it (see below), and respond to the most urgent ones. Then schedule time two or three times a week to respond to the non-urgent ones as well – otherwise you’ll find you never quite manage to get around to them.
- ORGANISE YOUR E-MAILS BEFORE YOU START RESPONDING TO THEM
The usual way to respond to e-mails is ‘as they come in’, but this can be a time management death trap. Unless you take time to get an overview of what’s there – what’s important and what isn’t, what’s urgent and what isn’t – you’ll be likely to miss dealing with important, time-critical e-mails, in favour of actioning things that could easily have waited.
Before you think about responding to anything, get an overview of what’s come in and separate it into three groups: e-mail that can be deleted without reading (spam, business opportunities or products you’re not interested in); those that just need to be read (e.g. newsletters, announcements, articles, course instalments), and those that actually need responding to.
Start by deleting everything you don’t have to read. Then, for the e-mails that only require reading, set up subfolders to organise them. The idea is to make them easy to find them later, when you’ve scheduled time to deal with non-urgent e-mail. Different people will work better with different filing systems, so choose something that fits the way you work.
Finally, glance through all of the e-mail that’s left – the messages that are going to require you to respond, and make a note of what needs responding to by when. Order it in terms of how quickly you’ll need to respond (this morning? today? two days?), and what the consequences are if you don’t manage it. Usually, e-mails from customers, prospects or team members will take ultimate precedence – but only you can know what the order of priority is from there. The key thing is to know what’s there, and respond in a deliberate order, rather than just working your way through it and hoping you get everything done.
- HAVE A REGULAR “UNSUBSCRIPTION” FEST
E-zines can be great sources of free information, tips and tricks. With so many publishers offering you valuable information, it’s easy to end up subscribing to more newsletters than you have time to read. Once a month (or more often, if you need to), look at all the e-zines you’ve subscribed to and see whether there are any that just don’t seem to be offering more value than the time it takes your to read them any more.
If you find any, politely unsubscribe from them. You may, especially if you’ve been a subscriber for any length of time, want to include a short e-mail to the publisher, letting them know why you’re unsubscribing. Most of them will really appreciate this, but it’s not necessary unless you want to. Generally, publishers understand (better than anyone else usually) the volumes of e-mail the average person online deals with, and they’d far prefer you unsubscribe to their newsletter once it’s no longer useful, rather than that you stay subscribed without having time to read it.
However, be aware that any good newsletter will have an unsubscribe link or e-mail address to contact, and clear instructions on how to use it. Please use this, rather than taking the easy way out and reporting the sender as spam. You may not realise it, but this causes huge problems for the publisher, who’s only trying to provide a service for you. Do you really want to create legal problems and possibly shut the publisher down just because you didn’t make use of the unsubscribe link they’ve provided?
So there you have it – three simple tips for getting on top of your e-mail. Organise your time, organise your e-mail, and organise your e-zine subscriptions. Put them into practice and see how much time you can free up for yourself!
