Conch, Queen
Queen Conch is a large marine gastropod found throughout the Caribbean. Many features of the Queen Conch's life history are still unresolved, but it is thought to mature around 4-5 years and live between 20-30 years. Since Queen Conch forms large aggregations in shallow coastal waters, where it can easily be seen and collected by hand, it is particularly vulnerable to fishing pressure.
As a result of intense fishing for Queen Conch over the last few decades, populations throughout the Caribbean have experienced substantial declines. In some areas population densities are now too low to allow for successful spawning and reproduction.
Since 2003, Queen Conch has been listed by the Convention of International Trade for Endangered Species as a species that could become threatened. While national management measures for Conch fishing have improved since this listing, many populations have yet to recover and overfishing and illegal fishing continues to occur in many countries.
Since Queen Conch are handpicked by free divers or those that use SCUBA or hookah gear, habitat impacts for this fishery are minimal and there is essentially no bycatch.
There are many options when it comes to conch. Depending on the recipe you are using, Conch can be substituted for by mussels, clams, and even lobster. If you are making a ceviche-style preparation try using steamed and chilled mussels. If making fritters try using ground or chopped clams as a base. If you are making sautéed cutlets, then American lobster makes for a more sustainable replacement.

Drinking Alcohol Tied to Lower Diabetes Risk by 30 PercentPosted: Saturday, December 03, 2011
Middle aged women who consume large amounts of refined carbohydrates might offset their risk of type II diabetes by drinking a moderate amount of alcohol.
Following more than 80,000 women over 26 years, researchers found that those who ate a diet high in refined carbohydrates had a 30% lower risk of developing diabetes than women with similar eating habits who didn't drink alcohol.
Previous research has linked moderate drinking with lower diabetes risk, but the new study tried to determine why that might be by looking specifically at women with high-glycemic diets.
Senior author Dr. Frank Hu from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts stated that, "If you eat a high carb diet without drinking alcohol, your risk of developing diabetes is increased by 30%." "However, if you eat a high carb diet, but (drink) a moderate amount of alcohol, the increased risk is reduced."
Nearly half of the estimated 26 million American adults with diabetes are women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The new published study doesn't prove alcohol protects against diabetes. But Dr. Hu and his colleagues speculate that alcohol might affect release of insulin after a meal, blunting the blood-sugar spikes that promote diabetes.
They analyzed data on 82,000 women participating in the long-term Nurses' Health Study. After 26 years of follow-up, 6,950 women, or about 9%, who were diabetes free at the outset had developed the condition. The researchers also examined participants' diets, including alcohol, based on surveys taken every four years. And overall, the women who ate the most refined carbs, and a lot of meat, were at highest risk of developing diabetes. But within that group, moderate drinkers -- those whose average alcohol intake was more than 15 g (about half an ounce) a day -- had a 30% lower risk than women who didn't drink at all.
Typically, the moderate drinkers imbibed 24 grams (0.8 ounce) of alcohol a day, which translates to about two drinks per week. Only a small fraction of the subjects were heavy drinkers (about two ounces per day or more), but heavy drinking was not linked with lowered diabetes risk.
Dr. Hu isn't encouraging people to start drinking alcohol as a means of diabetes prevention, but he does think the study reveals an interesting interaction between alcohol and carbs.
"We still advocate a diet with reduced refined carbs," he said. "And for people who drink, they should do so moderately."

The bulletin of Atlanta University

Loading content ...
NUMBER 82. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. APRIL, 1897- ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, ATLANTA, GA., Is a Christian Institution, uusec-tarian in its management and influence, wholly controlled by an independent Board of Trustees, and receiving no aid from city, state or national government, or benevolent society. Has 290 students in College, Normal, College Preparatory and Sub-Normal departments, under 23 officers and teachers. Trains teachers and leaders of their race from among the sons and daughters of the freedmen of the South. Has sent out 306 graduates from College and Normal courses, nearly all of whom, together with hundreds of past undergraduates, are engaged in teaching and other useful work in Georgia and surrounding States. Owns four large brick buildings, on sixty-five acres of land, one mile from the centre of Atlanta, Ga., library of 9,400 volumes, apparatus and other equipment—all valued at not less than a quarter of a million dollars. Having no endowment (except about $33,000, mostly for special objects), the Institution requires at least $20,000 a year in donations from its friends, to continue the work now in hand, and a fiend of about $500,000 to put that work on a permanent basis. Annual scholarships of $40 each are asked for to provide for the tuition of one student for one year, over and above the nominal tuition fees paid by the student. Subscriptions of $100 and up-wards, or any smaller sums, are solicited for general current expenses. Remittances of donations, or inquiries for further information, may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bumstead, D. D., Atlanta, Ga. The second Conference on City Problems will be held at Atlanta University on Tuesday and Wednesday of Commencement week, May 25 and 26. A most interesting program is expected. The data which were collected in the investigation in the fall, and which will soon appear in tabulated form, will furnish a satisfactory basis for the papers that are to be presented, and the accompanying discussions. Prof. Webster is now completing the tenth year of his service in Atlanta University. This fact was recognized by a "birthday surprise" reception given to Prof. and Mrs. Webster the night of Apr. 1. Friends were present from other schools in the city, and the evening was much enjoyed. All join not only in wishing for Prof. Webster many returns of his birthday, but also a long continuance of his valued services here. ---------------------------------------------------- A recent number of the N. Y. Independent thus commends the book of Prof. Crogman ('76) which we reviewed last month. It can be obtained of the author for $ 1.00 by addressing him at So. Atlanta, Ga. "We notice this collection of Talks for the Times with unusual pleasure. They are worthy of the strong and cultivated gentleman who is their author. They deal largely with Negro education, educational institutions and educators, but occasionally deal with general topics, such as 'Life's Deeper Meanings.' The author speaks for his race and speaks in strong, polished English, full of nerve and rich in the music of good English prose." A number of subscribers to the Bulletin have failed to renew their subscription. They were requested by letter to do so about three months ago. In case they do not renew before the next issue, the sending of the paper to them will be discontinued. The Model Home, so long expected, now bids fair to be an accomplished fact in the near future. The plans have been made, and the work will be begun very soon. Prof. Chase is to superintend the work. We are glad to have Mrs. Chase with us again. She comes to remain with Prof. Chase while he is engaged in looking out for the work on the Model Home. The baccalaureate sermon is to be preach-ed this year by Rev. Dr. Charles Cuth-bert Hall, the recently elected president of Union Theological Seminary. Forty dollars were donated to the University by friends of Mr. Bonfils in his first church in a very pleasant way. Several of the ladies gave a "musicale" at the house of one of their number. The preparations were thorough, although the expenses were slight. Everybody had a pleasant time, and the above result was secured, while our friends felt well repaid for their trouble. We tender them our sincere thanks, and, in the words of Mr. Bonfils, we "beg pardon" for suggesting that so excellent an example is worthy of imitation in other communities reached by the Bulletin. In Montgomery, Ala., is a large eighteen-room building, with this inscription on the corner stone: "Infirmary, given by James Hale for the benefit of his race, and erected by his wife, as a memorial to their deceased daughter and son, Sarah and James." Thus the wife of James Hale has carried out his wish to do something to help the poor and aged of his own people. To day the infirmary is in full operation, and Mrs. Hale still lives and continues to work for it. It is a practical benevolence, and we rejoice that a colored man has seen fit to thus use his money.

HEC Paris' Dean, Bernard Ramanantsoa, will be speaking at the Princeton-Fung Global Forum on Friday 11th April 8.30-1.30am in session V on "Universities and Development: How Are Universities Agents of Social Change?"
Moderator: Francisco Marmolejo, Lead Tertiary Education Specialist and Coordinator of Network of Higher Education Specialists, The World Bank
Featuring: Bernard Ramanantsoa, Dean, HEC Paris
Ambuj Sagar, the Vipula and Mahesh Chaturvedi Professor of Policy Studies, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
Lan Xue, Cheung Kong Chair Professor and Dean, School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University, Beijing
While higher education has been regarded as an engine of social mobility for those who have access to it, universities have also become instruments of social intervention for those who lack access. "Service" is an increasingly prominent facet of education. This is perhaps most evident in the burgeoning field of global public health and legal training.
The notion that institutions of higher education should be at the vanguard of innovation and invention has paved the way for new partnerships with the private sector. This has been especially pronounced for institutions in developing societies, where it has fallen upon universities and colleges to promote the acquisition of skills combined with a social mission to "catch up."
How should we think about the balance between objective inquiry and social engagement? Does this challenge the traditional organization of teaching and research framed around classical disciplines? Does it overstretch the mission of already overcommitted institutions? Are service and development ornaments or organic parts of learning?
The 7th edition of the Netexplo Forum will be held at the UNESCO Headquarters from 26th - 28th March 2014, in partnership with HEC Paris.
The three-day event will feature a year's highlights of digital innovation worldwide and focus on new uses of tech for your business, from social media, the mobile web and the internet of things to man-machine interfaces, robotics and artificial intelligence.

Coach instills blue-collar mentality
Published: Thursday, April 26, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 21:07
When you stand by Aggie head baseball coach Rob Childress, there is a silence about him, yet his message is communicated loud and clear.
"His message is to take one game at a time, because you never know when your last game is going to be," said senior starting pitcher Ross Stripling. "Coach said to us, 'What if this was your last game? Play with a fire,' and I think this team has embodied that."
For a student-athlete going through the grind of a 56-game baseball season, the brevity of a college career is sometimes overlooked, but Childress' philosophy cements the foundation of hustle and hard work that has built his team.
"I stress effort and attitude and those are the only two things. We're going to out hustle you and out compete you from when the first pitch is thrown," Childress said. "If we do that, the scoreboard will take care of itself."
Childress has been the Aggies' head ball coach since 2005. He preaches strong pitching, defense and aggressive base running. While other programs recruit flashy student-athletes, Childress said he looks for athletes who will fit his system.
"None of our players were premiere recruits. We recruited kind of in our image, blue collar, hard-nosed guys, and they're told that on their visit. When you come here, it will be the hardest thing you've ever done but it will be the most rewarding," Childress said.
Senior first baseman Jacob House said Childress stresses the importance of hard work and accomplishing goals.
"I think coach does a good job relaying his message, keeping us motivated and giving us goals every day," House said.
On Feb. 28, the Aggies had a difficult time figuring out Northwestern State pitcher Jacob Roark and found themselves in a nine-run hole after five innings. The Aggies scrapped their way back to overcome the biggest deficit in Olsen Field history, winning 14-10.
Childress made it clear to his team to never give up. His players have not only bought into the philosophy, but picked up the language.
"This is a place where we play blue-collar, hard-nosed and we're going to get our uniforms dirty," redshirt sophomore starting pitcher Rafael Piñeda said. "We're going to lay out and sacrifice ourselves for the team."
Childress' success on the field is chronicled by five Big 12 championships and a trip to the Aggies' first College World Series in more than a decade. His success off the field is measured by the players' success after leaving A&M.
"I think with everything, the character of the coach and what the coach stands for comes out through their team, through their play and coach Childress is a prime example of that. The way our guys play, they play hard, they play aggressive, but they are very consistent," assistant coach Justin Seely said. "His personality comes out through our team and that's why we continue to plug along and persevere."
In a society that accepts disingenuous answers as sufficient, Childress still abides by a give-it-to-you-straight, no-nonsense attitude. Childress motivates and pushes his players in order to reach their potential because he's developed trust in the group.
"When we talk to recruits we always say a couple of things about him. He's the best man you know. He's the best man I know. He is the most honest man I know," said associate head coach Andy Sawyers. "In athletics when you have egos, agendas, people want to play… honesty from the man in charge is a very important trait and that is what I believe sets him apart from everyone else."
So, has Coach Childress changed throughout the years?
"Well he's not as skinny as he used to be, and he's a little greyer now," Sawyers joked. "He's the same man he was as a 27-year-old assistant at Nebraska to be a pitching coach when I was a senior. He's the same guy."
As the season heads into May, Childress' Aggies have hit a rough patch.
After rising to No. 2 in the nation, the team dropped five consecutive games, including a sweep at the hands of rival Baylor. With a little help, though, the Aggies could still contend for the Big 12 regular season title for the last time as conference members. When the time comes, A&M will also look to claim its third-consecutive Big 12 tournament title.
Post-season success, though, will require the character of this team to mimic that of the man who stands quietly, yet maintains a loud message — intensity and blue-collar hard work.

From two-time Academy Award®-winning director Clint Eastwood, Flags Of Our Fathers boldly explores the complicated nature of heroism, courage and patriotism in the harrowing true story of four Marines who fought the bloody battles at Iwo Jima during World War II and how a single photo emerged as one of the most evocative icons of the 20th Century.
In this 2-disc special edition of the epic The New York Times calls "a sweeping spectacle," Clint Eastwood reveals his passion for his subject in an exclusive interview along with carefully crafted special features that give an inside look at the making of this modern classic.
Flags Of Our Fathers is the must-own companion to Letters From Iwo Jima. Experience one of the most dramatic moments in history, right in your own home.
February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. The inspiring photo capturing that moment became a symbol of victory to a nation that had grown weary of war and made instant heroes of the six American soldiers at the base of the flag, some of whom would die soon after, never knowing that they had been immortalized. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or glory.
Flags of Our Fathers is based on the bestselling book by James Bradley with Ron Powers, which chronicled the battle of Iwo Jima and the fates of the flag raisers and some of their brothers in Easy Company. Bradleys father, John ''Doc'' Bradley, was one of the soldiers pictured raising the flag, although James never knew the full extent of his fathers experiences until after the elder Bradleys death in 1994.

since switching from a pork-based gelatin to this one i'm glad to say there's huge difference. without going into detail i'll just say there's a load of reasons you wouldn't wanna consume pork and google will provide the curious plenty. i think any meat-eater would do great adding gelatin to their meals in form of a side-drink. the science is along the lines of eating the whole animal for complete amino acid profile as gelatin is all the cartilage normally thrown. gelatin has stabilized my joints, moods, metabolism, libido like you wouldn't believe. thank you and props to ray peat for sparking this great trend of gel-eating. i'd suggest looking the man up for a wealth of interesting takes on health and the industry.
great stuff!

Easy to use. I use 1/4 tsp of gelatin with 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum or guar gum per cup of gluten free flour mix, and the breads turn out delicate and moist. I still have 2 loaves of banana nut bread I made 2 weeks ago in baggies in the fridge, (i made 7 at one time), and they are still fresh and moist tasting, and even my gluten eating husband loves them! I will continue to use this brand as it is economical as well as a great product to use.
Great stuff for healing

I take this to heal my 'leaky gut' which causes eczema. So far so good, symptoms are going into remission. I use it in conjunction with L- Glutamine by Now Foods. I just throw a tablespoon in some water and chug it down. Tasteless, but a gross texture! I dont mind though as it WORKS! I have also made lemon flavoured gummies to snack on which worked a treat.
bad knees and weight loss

Posted by Reviewer2179783 From Canada on Apr 22, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
I was diagnosed with bone on bone on the outside of my right knee, and after the inside was operated on twice, also bone on bone. They've offered only knee braces, or knee replacement, neither of which I want to do. I started on Joint Vibrance, beef gelatin (1 Tbsp. per day), and Dr. Christopher's Complete Tissue and bone. Well, the difference is amazing. I am back to work driving a one-ton truck and lifting 60 lb. boxes. Getting in and out of this truck was always painful, and after just 6 weeks on this regime, I am 60 to 70 percent better. I won't stop as I am 59 and also just started jogging. I've also lost 25 lbs.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I got this invitation for my wedding in the grey, with the ticket corners, and pearl shimmer finish. The invitations looks so expensive and I am already getting compliments on them. Would def recommend."
"Just received our wedding invitation and it looks amazing!! the paper quality is great, design looks lovely, and printing/delivery was so fast Thank you so much!! would highly recommend!!"
"These invitations are exactly how we imagined they would be. I had been looking for quite some time and nothing had really jumped out at us, and that is what we wanted. We did the pearl shimmer finish and rounded corners and it really added something extra. My fiance's favorite part, and one of mine as well, was the initials on the back. Something different, which is exactly what we were going for. Can't wait to send these out!"
"I wanted something fun and slightly informal and this product was perfect. We're a young couple with a mostly young guest list, so we didn't want anything stuffy. This is modern, well laid out, and the service was great. I had to get some personalizing done because the full name of our church wasn't fitting on there. This was important to us because this is the oldest church in the area, so I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. Everything was to me in the time they said it would be. They are very punctual and they always have some sort of deal being offered, so there shouldn't be a need to pay full price unless it's a last minute order. I will be coming to WPD for all of my needs and I would suggest them to anyone."
"My Wedding Invitations were absolutely PERFECT. They truly reflected the theme and thoughts we wanted for our guests to begin to visualize of beginning of our dream coming true."

Facebook 6.0 for iOS adds chat heads, stickers, and iPad News Feed redesign
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Social Networking, App Updates, Free Apps
Facebook has updated its iOS app to version 6.0 and has introduced two new features that are from the Facebook Home experience: Chat heads and stickers. Basically, chat heads are avatar icons of Facebook friends. They take up a small part of the screen whenever a user is messaging another Facebook friend, no matter where the user happens to be in the app. We assume that the goal is for it to be a frictionless experience when communicating with others friends; rather than having the chat feature limited to silos or in sections within the app. Along with the update, Facebook added a sticker feature, like emoticons, while messaging, seemingly aimed at teens and adults who might never publicly admit that they like the feature. Facebook for the iPad also sees a News Feed redesign that is cleaner with a bolder, more legible typeface. Gear Live tip: users might have to delete the old version first, or reboot the iDevice, in order to activate these new features now since Facebook is slowly rolling the feature out to users. Facebook 6.0 for iOS is now available in the App Store.

Facebook 5.5 for iOS introduces free voice calling, easier sharing
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Social Networking, App Updates, Free Apps
Facebook 5.5 for iOS has just been released, and with it comes free voice calling for North American users over Wi-Fi and cellular networks. The feature came to Facebook's separate messaging app a couple of weeks ago, and is now baked in to the full-fledged Facebook iOS experience for users across the US and Canada. After updating, simply open your chat pane by tapping the icon on the upper-right, select a friend, and then select "Free Call." As you'd expect, the person on the other end also needs to be located in North America, and also needs to have the latest Facebook app installed. It's a nice way to make voice calls without tapping into your voice minutes--just make sure to keep an eye on your data plan when you're away from Wi-Fi, no need to try to save on voice minutes, only to rack up massive data usage fees, you feel me?

OURAY – Ever since its beginnings in 1996, the Ouray Ice Festival has been described as a sort of "gathering of the tribe."
If this tribe of dirtbag ice climbers, alpinists and climbing neophytes has a godfather, it's got to be Jeff Lowe. The guy who in 1958, at age 7, became the youngest person to climb the Grand Teton and never looked back. Always forward, toward the next unclimbed route, the next summit, the next virgin knife-edged spire, from the Wasatch Mountains and big walls of Zion to the Swiss Alps and the Himalaya.
The guy who, because it didn't exist and he needed it, invented the gold standard in climbing gear and outdoor clothing and equipment that is still used today. The guy who started the Ouray Ice Festival 18 years ago and helped transform Ouray's winter economy forevermore.
But a more irreverent godfather would be hard to find.
"They haven't run us out of town yet," he joked, as the dust settled on Monday from the 18th Ice Fest. "There was a time when many old-timers really didn't want us. They called me a 'god-damn ice climber.' That went away. I am amazed by what people think can't be done. I've always been a possibility thinker."
Lowe, who bequeathed the Ouray Ice Festival to the nonprofit Ouray Ice Park, Inc., in 2002 and now lives in his native Ogden, Utah, with girlfriend Connie Self, is very happy with how the event has evolved over the years since he got out of the business of running it. "I was reassured by what I've seen here," he said. "Everything is moving along. It seems very positive. The old guard and the new guard are not very sharply delineated; it's a very organic movement."
It's hard to understand Lowe talk these days. He suffers from a relentlessly degenerative condition, akin to Multiple Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig disease, which doctors have been unable to identify or treat. "I just call it 'The Incredible Shrinking Brain Syndrome'; it gives me a ready excuse for any time I screw up in any way," he joked of his illness in an interview that is part of an ambitious film memoir he, Self and others have been working on for the past several years.
The project, called Jeff Lowe's Metanoia, chronicles Lowe's "unimaginable climb" up the notorious North Face of the Eiger in 1991, using a combination of archival footage, interviews and modern footage to tell the tale, and spirals out from there to capture the essence of his climbing career and character. Now in the final editing stages, Self anticipates Metanoia will be released in 2014 on the festival circuit. (The film is well-documented on the website, jeffloweclimber.com.)
Lowe probably won't be here to see its release. He probably won't be here for the next Ouray Ice Festival, either. He calls this latest one his "big love fest." Because behind the scenes, honoring Jeff Lowe turns out to be what it was really all about. A steady stream of aging alpinists with sky in their eyes and climb in their souls, stopping by the apartment where Lowe and Self are staying, paying their last respects, sharing memories, drinking beer or Naked Juice, and laughing.
Now Lowe spends his days in a powered wheelchair because his body has almost completely shut down. He can't talk very well either. But that doesn't keep him from trying. When the words slur together too much, Self is almost always able to translate.
When the accolade, 'the godfather of modern ice climbing' is tossed out in conversation, as it almost always is in relation to Lowe, he just laughs. "My church is out there on the ice. In the mountains. I am a religious fanatic. I am very much a fundamentalist outdoorsman," he quips.
Self shakes her head. "You'll get no straightforward praise from Jeff Lowe, about Jeff Lowe," she observes, then offers her own fluid thoughts on the godfather matter.
"Jeff had vision; he's really known as a visionary," she riffs. "He could see things that no one else could see. He would see something and think about climbing it. He was always very open and very curious, and interested. He loves ice, the formations, the look, the feel, the touch. He gets interested and curious. His climbs are very aesthetic; he looks for beauty. He's just following his heart, his nose. He would go where no one else had gone, in a way that no one else had gone."
"Me and Captain Kirk," Lowe interjects, grinning slyly.
"I'm not trying to be funny; I'm trying to be serious," Self protests.
Lowe settles down and becomes thoughtful himself. "People that are trying to ice climb or mountaineer, are my kind of people," he concludes. "They are a great crowd. I love the people involved. I just love everything about the lifestyle."
A life spent climbing has prepared him well, he says, for this final challenge he is now facing.
"There is a lot of work and hard times in climbing, and those are often the best parts," he explains. "You get used to them, by not judging. And by realizing it's a temporary situation. It's easier to accept the difficulty because you know that this too shall pass."
Lowe wonders how he will do, facing his final unimaginable climb. "I'm interested to see what happens when our body falls apart," he says. "It's all part of life; I don't look at death as anything that serious; it's something all people do. I have my ideas about what might happen, and I'm curious to see if any of these ideas are correct.
"I've lived an incredible life with the best people I would ever have hoped to encounter over the years."
OURAY – Ever since its beginnings in 1996, the Ouray Ice Festival has been described as a sort of "gathering of the tribe."

A fiendish murder has occurred in Dublin and the most notorious suspect is none other than the extremely talented and very sensitive Lord of the Dance! Begorah!
Guests may sample wines in the tasting room and purchase a bottle or glass — or a favorite beer/mixed drink — to enjoy during the program and the meal.
During this advance time, the evening's actors may mingle with the crowd and seek volunteers to play some of the short parts. This is voluntary and adds to a hilarious evening when you, your friends or someone else gets a chance to showcase their talents, or even flubs.
Hors dourves start at 5:30 p.m. CDT and include BLT bread bowl dip with veggies. The show starts at 6:30 p.m. The actors mingle with the audience to select participants for the show. Dinner is after the first act. Dessert is after the second act, during which time the audience votes on who the murderer is. The third act is a recap of what has taken place and the murderer is identified.
Meals are catered by McDaniel's Catered Elegance, and seating is limited. The meal includes: beef tips with mushrooms and gravy, pork loin, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, glazed carrots, salad, dinner rolls and desserts.
Reservations must be made in advance. Cost is $40 a person. Call Castle Finn Winery at (217) 463-2600 to pay with a credit card or stop by the winery to make reservations and pay with cash or check.

Woods alum writes children's book
Telling the story of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College's foundress, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, in a way that children can enjoy is what one alumna recently did in the form of a children's book.
'Passion in the Park' re-enacts birth, trial, crucifixion, resurrection of Jesus
Many say it is a life-changing experience that brings the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus to life. It is certainly a community effort driven by a desire of many volunteer Christians who come together to express their passion for the passion of Jesus Christ.
Providence Food Pantry going strong after year at new location
The setup inside the building makes it feel like you're walking into a "mom-and-pop" grocery store, with a check-in area, and aisles for patrons to walk through and eye all the food set up perfectly on tables.
Shape of an Idea: Inspiration flows from 19th-century songwriter to modern-day sculpture in his honor
As a child, Teresa Clark played near a river. A century earlier, young Paul Dresser did the same.
Their memories inspired artwork. A song Dresser wrote in 1897 flows through a sculpture Clark is now creating.
Exhibit showcases history of churches in Terre Haute
This summer everyone is invited to an old fashioned, interdenominational church summer picnic celebrating that "Old Time Religion," as part of the Vigo County Historical Society Museum's opening exhibit for 2014.

Author visits birthplace of Calvin Coolidge
Editor's Note: Today, in this seventh and final installment of Mike Lunsford's "New England Journal," the writer visits a small town in south central Vermont, birthplace of the nation's 30th President, Calvin Coolidge. Be sure to look for Mike's regular column in Monday's edition of the Tribune-Star.
Guiding Star: Inspired by family, Terre Haute native rallies famous names to fund cancer research
Famous people filled the Riviera Country Club, a scenic golf resort in affluent Pacific Palisades, Calif.
A city block away, Sunset Boulevard runs toward the Pacific Ocean. The Santa Monica Mountains overlook it all. Inside the Riviera, during a 2009 fundraising dinner, Terre Haute attorney Tony Tanoos found himself surrounded by a who's who of celebrities — actors such as Ray Romano, Mark Wahlberg, Don Cheadle and others, and golfing greats like Gary Player, Johnny Miller and Rocco Mediate. Soon, the crowd of notables heard the words of main speaker Lisa Paulsen, the president of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
MIKE LUNSFORD: The long goodbye to winter
I have no idea what the weather is to bring to us on the morning this story runs, but on the day I write most of it, the sun is shining, and we have just come off a weekend of pleasant warmth and cloudless skies.
Making Waves: Woman devotes part of rural Vigo County home to museum on hairstyling
Some studies show that women spend more than $50,000 in a lifetime and more than one month of their entire life at a beauty salon, trying to get and keep their hair just the right style. How they have accomplished this through the ages has been a fascination for local hairstylist Brenda Ellis for more than 50 years.
Heaven on Earth: Writer gets lost — both figuratively and literally — at Acadia National Park
Editor's Note: Today, we continue the New England Journal as Mike Lunsford writes of a day hiking the Atlantic shoreline and the trails of Maine's Acadia National Park.
Rock of Ages: Hulman Center stage has been entertaining crowds since 1974
As the stage lights came on, Sam Wellington and his cohorts gazed out at an audience of 8,060 Midwesterners.
The scene was familiar for him. Wellington and his country music quartet, The Four Guys, opened shows night after night for fellow RCA Records artists Ronnie Millsap and headliner Charley Pride on tours across North America.
Wearing a Legacy: Inspired by Debs, a variety of places and things beyond Terre Haute — from a town to beers — bear his name
A town and a school. Two styles of beer. A radio station, a street, a township, and a house for college students. Even a parade.
Any of those places or things named in honor of legendary labor and social activist Eugene V. Debs could theoretically exist in Terre Haute. Alas, none do.
Flowing forward: As Riverscape leader retires, he sees great things ahead for the Wabash River
An iconic photo of Harry Truman hangs in John Mutchner's office.
The walls of that room and others inside Mutchner's scenic eastside home offer glimpses of his interests, from auto racing to basketball to political history. The famous picture of a triumphant Truman, hoisting an erroneous "Dewey Defeats Truman" Chicago Tribune headline, rests neatly framed alongside a 1952 campaign button and an autographed notecard from the former president.
Hope Awakened: On a floating hospital, Terre Haute nurse sees lives of needy transformed
The woman was 24 years old. She weighed 70 pounds.
She had young children and, for a long time, a heavy burden. A tumor, large as her head, engulfed her jaw. Eating and breathing became all but impossible for her. Undoubtedly, she'd been ostracized because of it, too. Such cases are rare in the Western world, but they occur frequently in the Republic of Congo. The coastal African nation has just one doctor for every 20,000 people.
Rock Collector: Indiana Coal Council president loves rocks, fossils and 4-H
You might say Bruce Stevens grew up with lots of pet rocks.
Scavenging for rocks and fossils as a boy near his home at Coalmont launched Stevens' fascination with geology. His love of all things sedimentary led him to a successful career in hydrology, reclamation and the coal industry.
'Afternoon on a Hill': The formal poet who led an informal life — Edna St. Vincent Millay
EDITOR'S NOTE: Today, we continue the New England Journal as Mike Lunsford writes of an afternoon exploring the rural gardens and home of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay near Austerlitz, N.Y. Join Lunsford in February for the sixth installment of this series as he wanders along the wooded shorelines of Jordan Pond in Acadia National Park.
No Intermission: Character meets demise on 'Walking Dead,' but lively acting career continues for Terre Haute's Jose Pablo Cantillo
Characters often make dramatic exits from television shows.
Few could top Terre Haute-raised actor Jose Pablo Cantillo's departure last month from AMC's "The Walking Dead."
The scene occurred in the fourth season of cable TV's most popular drama series ever.
Telling stories in song
Pieces of Terre Haute's infamous past gather dust in the town's metaphorical attic. Closed-up, old baggage — forever linked, like it or not, to the historical record.
Real people lived through those times, but as generations pass, memories of those characters fade and disappear.
GRAPE SENSE: Down South America way, Andes ripe for fine wines
South American wines played a key role in revolutionizing the concept of value wines in recent years. Argentina has had great success with its seductive Malbec, earthy Bonarda and even the white difference of Torrontos.
TRIED 'N' TRUE: Try your hand at a cup of scrambled eggs
I'm always asking for a recipe for one or two people.
But this recipe is for one. Easy to make for two. For mine I like ham, bacon or sausage, browned and drained.
'Worshipful, reverent' music goal of organist who plays Friday night at Terre Haute church
To an untrained observer, a concert organ looks as complex as the controls of a jumbo jetliner.
Four tiers of keyboards, dozens of knobs (known as pistons) and two rows of foot pedals fuel the instrument's lush sound. An organist would seem to need 10 limbs to play it.
White Violet Center to offer day of fun with nature on April 26
Live performances, demonstrations, animal programs, relaxation and other events —all specifically geared toward honoring the planet — are planned April 26, as the longest-running and largest Earth Day celebration in west-central Indiana continues at St. Mary-of-the-Woods.

nyc marathon and weather
with a never seen before hurricame hammering the city early next week with 10 unches of rain and major power outages expected
I DOUBT NOV 4 is a good date for the race...\\
the city could be under water, and the airports closed
'this is a NEVER BEFORE SEEN STORM
can they delay the race a week till nov 11???
power outages 7-10 days could be expected
maybe the mayans were right
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Aunty Em, Aunty Em!
Re: nyc marathon and weather
"never before seen"? I think that the likes of Boston and New York have been hit by such storms in the past.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Hurricane Sandy could be a disaster of epic proportions...
http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2012/10 ... rd-region/
Now, it seems that hurricane models are beginning to converge on a likely strike somewhere between Delaware and Long Island, with the most likely place for the hybrid storm's center to come ashore right now looking like the central New Jersey shore. The entire tri-state is within the National Hurricane Center's most recent five-day cone, with experts there agreeing that New Jersey is Sandy's likely final destination. But the storm will be so large by its landfall on Tuesday that significant impacts will extend outward for hundreds of miles from the center. In my opinion, the worst of Sandy's coastal impacts are now likely to occur somewhere near the Greater New York area.
Here's a look at what the tri-state can expect should Sandy stay on its current course:
Coastal Storm Surge: Should the Frankenstorm version of Sandy stay south of New York City as the National Hurricane Center predicts, several feet of wind-driven ocean water would be funneled into New York Harbor and up against area beaches, especially along the south shore of Long Island. This will likely be the storm's greatest impact both locally and as a whole, and the local National Weather Service office has gone as far as to say this could be nearly a worst case scenario for the city, depending on the exact location of landfall.
In a phone conversation Thursday, meteorologist Jeff Masters from Weather Underground said that he expects Sandy could flood parts of the New York City subway system if current forecasts hold.
A National Weather Service wave height projection shows waves in excess of 30 feet just offshore as Sandy approaches, which would generate massive beach erosion and increase the storms destructive coastal potential.
To top it off, Sandy is expected to make landfall during the full moon, which would add an additional foot or so of tidal influence to coastal flooding projections.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
The storm is supposed to be over by Wednesday or Thursday. Unless it manages to wash away a bridge or two (which I cannot imagine), it's hard for me to see Sandy affecting the marathon at all.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Well, if there is flooding and electricity goes out in the city....let us just say I wouldn't want to be trying to run next week there. And there is also the problem of just getting there, since flights will be cancelled. It could be a royal mess.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
i hope it does not cause the marathon to be cancelled, but safety has to come first.
also if their are these power outages what happens with the elections on november 6th? the elections will be 5-7 days after the storm.
whatever i guess the kids in the area the storm hits wont get to trick or treat this year.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
the forecast i saw say atlanti city is the target monady into tuesday, main part of the storm
so new york is in prime flood target, for major surge and rmain of 10 inches plus, and manhattan is an island, which can't handle that type of rainfall
this is a 1000 yeae storm, so boston and new york have not seen anything like it
wind into next weekend will exist, but getting into airports will be very tough
i;d postpone it till nov 11
as to the elections, theere will be parts of the norteast without powere thru the elections
all my trmaining, think i'll look for a december race now
that boston race of several years ago was nothing compared to what this storn is
frankenstorn is what it's called, and i'm staying away
Re: nyc marathon and weather
If flights are cancelled and say 10,000 runners don't make it, maybe the race won't be the over-crowded mess that it has become. In any case, the Fort Wadsworth staging area should set a record for mud. After 9/11 security concerns brought about an earlier closing of the Verrazano Bridge. As a result, runners had to arrive much earlier and sit around the fort for much longer. Most of them are waiting out in the open. The wave starts only made the waiting much longer. The middle to the back of the pack runners hear the horn go off and still just sit around and wait. NYC is great because of the crowd support, but it could use 10,000 fewer participants.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
watching the coverage, it seems nyc has a major chance of the subways being knocked out
and it;s not a couple days, but a few weeks to fix them...
basically the city will grind to a halt
a friend told me, a few years ago the chicago marathon was halted at the half marathom point due to excessive heat and lack of fluid
chose chicago entrants who had their race halted, were granted entry into the philly marathon which this year is november 18
philly is 60 miles inland so, the storm should be less problematic, but rain is rain so 10 inches could happen there but the wind should be less strong
Re: nyc marathon and weather
In 2007 the Chicago Marathon did shut down, but it wasn't until about 4 hours after the start.
Temps that day reached the 80's.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Have you heard of Katrina? The 1991 Perfect Storm? Hurricane Mitch in 1998? The Galveston Hurricane of 1900? Hazel in 1954?
Its coming through New York City, so the media will tell you its the worst storm of all-time. If it hit Topeka, Kansas, it would be page 8 in the newspaper.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Weather Underground has it still over NYC on Thursday. Let us just say I wouldn't want to have to plan to get there next weekend. Though I suspect the Marathon will go on. Just with fewer people.
http://classic.wunderground.com/tropica ... ml#a_topad
Re: nyc marathon and weather
NOAA/NWS has it hitting at the Maryland/Delaware line, and heading almost west at that point. However, it will hit winter storms and turn north and wrap in snow, at least in areas like West Virgina.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Weird that the site is called "Weather Underground".
Back in the 60's/early 70's, the "Weather Underground" was an American terrorist group making bombs and killing cops, led by such people as Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers!!!
Seriously (??), remember 2008, when John McCain cancelled the first day of the Republican Convention in Minnesota because of the THREAT of a Katrina-like hurricaine supposed to AGAIN destroy New Orleans??
Well, THAT hurricaine mostly fizzled (Wasn't it reduced to a Level 1 or 2 by the time it hit N.O.??), and all that panic went mostly for naught!!
Is this monster "'cane" gonna be a repeat "drizzle--fizzle)??
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Re: nyc marathon and weather
And you're thinking that this is coincidental?!!!!!!
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Subways out
There goes my shot at victory
Re: nyc marathon and weather
NY Times story now linked on the front page deals with this.
I don't know how severe the impact of the storm will be, but there will certainly be disruption of travel plans for those who were planning to get to New York in the next few days.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Amy Hastings @HastyHastings
Empire State Building just came into view!! I love you New York!! Get well soon!
Hastings/Smith in the BIgApple tonight.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
For a time yesterday, there seemed to be some equivocation on the part of race officials as to whether the race would certainly go on as planned on Sunday. Then the Mayor stepped in and confirmed it was a go. There are still some stories lingering out there in web-land that are based on the earlier retraction of a strong statement by the NYRR. I'm assuming at this point that it will be held.
That having been said, I'm sure there are NYRR folks working on this 24/7 and it's possible that within the next day or two, they may find a problem that just can't be solved. Let's hope not, for the sake of the thousands of people who planned to run and will be in New York ready to run this Sunday.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
I talked to a friend yesterday whose wife is to do make her marathon debut in NYC, aiming for 2:30. If she can't get there, one option for her is Fukuoka, Dec 2. If a bunch of elite athletes can't get to NY, perhaps Fukuoka will have a loaded field this year.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Here in the UK, it only became news when it approached the US....
The media showed scant attention when it was affecting Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas and Haiti.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
fukuoka i believe is and has always been a mens only race.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
yokohama has a womens only elite marathon on november 18th, maybe she could look into that.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
In any case, Fukuoka doesn't seem to have the financial wherewithal to buy a loaded field, and that's the only way you get one in modern marathoning.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
this story (which seems reasoned, not a scare-piece) suggests i could be weeks before the subway is running again.
http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national ... bad/58527/
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Good Grief! Someone has opened this facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cancel-2 ... 5321179684
My own view is that if it can be run without endangering the participants, it should be run. And I haven't read anything yet that suggests that they won't be able to do that.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
I just saw a tweet that said that NYRR has cancelled the 5K race Saturday morning. No confirmation of that yet on the NYRR website. (I must say, though, that it is not at all unusual for information about NYRR events to be released to the media prior to being posted on their website.)
Re: nyc marathon and weather
I'd be more concerned about "endangering" the residents of the city, whose police/fire/emergency services must already be stretched to the limit. I can well see what the average citizen might feel it's in bad taste to run. Screw the "show the world we're resilient" PR attitude.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
I think that's exactly right.
http://vitals.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10 ... s-cut?lite
Re: nyc marathon and weather
I've now read that Mary Wittenberg has denied this. She says the 5K is still on, as of now.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
My take is Wittenberg couldn't care less if 15 people come to the line Sunday. But as long as they don't have to cancel they have solid legal ground to keep all the entry fees.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
I'm guessing that they'll refund the entry fees of those who couldn't get to NYC because of the storm, or at least give people a credit that can be used for next year's entry fee.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
no such luck, says Bloomberg:
<<Those who aren't able to make it to the race will receive automatic entry next year. No refunds will be given and the 2013 entry fee must be paid. This year's race cost $255 for U.S. residents and $347 for international runners.>>
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Let's see if that stands up. The NYRR had to backtrack a few months ago when they changed their bag pick-up policy. I'm guessing that the publicity over the non-refund policy could get even uglier.
I can understand why they want to keep the money. They're undoubtedly being saddled with all sorts of extra expenses because of Sandy--among other things, I'm sure the Mayor drove a hard bargain before agreeing to commit the resources that will be needed to clear the course. But still, I can foresee a loud outcry over this, and I wouldn't be surprised if the NYRR made some kind of accommodation beyond simply granting entry into next year's race (with full fees).
Re: nyc marathon and weather
50,000 x $280 = $14 million
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Christine Brennan of USA Today agrees with you. (Story linked on front page.)
Re: nyc marathon and weather
Too bad the race is not two or three weeks later (or rather, Sandy two or three weeks earlier.) That might enough time to safely and properly host it, and all the NYC rah-rah folks could use that as a coming-together-in-hurricane-recovery event.
Re: nyc marathon and weather
But if you're an elite runner, with two marathons a year in your legs and NYC was to be one of them, you're trained and fit, peaking now, what do you do? Look for another marathon in the next month, adjust your training for that as best you can? Are there any other reasonbaly big marathons in the next month? Or do find a couple of shorter road races to run, 10K to 20K? Or just blow it off and start spooling up for Boston, London, etc?

If you have diabetes, you can join the Red Riders. This special program recognizes riders who have diabetes the day of the ride with a red jersey. During the Tour, participants call out "Go Red Rider" to encourage and celebrate the Red Riders who are fighting to manage their diabetes and live a healthier life.
"The Red Rider program is a great way for those with diabetes to gather the strength, courage and motivation to live well all the other days of the year when we aren't riding in Tour de Cure," says Mari Ruddy, founder of the Red Rider program. Ruddy has lived with diabetes for more than 31 years and is the director of TeamWILD Athletics: We Inspire Life with Diabetes, which provides eTraining programs and a fitness training camp for people with diabetes looking to use endurance walking, running, triathlons and cycling to improve their health.
Ruddy, describes the Tour de Cure as a celebration of health and wellness. "The Red Rider program gives us an opportunity to celebrate the hard work, dedication and teamwork it takes to manage this challenging and complex disease," says Ruddy. "When we give a participant a red jersey that reads, 'I ride with diabetes,' it puts a face to the disease that says, 'This is what diabetes looks like: We get on our bikes and we Stop Diabetes.'" Ruddy will be riding in the Las Vegas, Twin Cities, Chicago and Michigan Tours in 2013.
Cycling is great exercise, but it is important to make certain your biking equipment is ready before hitting the road. Be sure to check brakes, grease the chain and make certain helmets still fit properly. Take a short ride around the neighborhood to ensure everything works and that the tires are sufficiently filled with air. If it's been a couple of years since the bike was purchased or cleaned, it might be a good idea to take it to a bike shop to have all the gears and brakes inspected.
More than 65,000 cyclists are expected to participate in the Tour de Cure at sites throughout the country in 2013. All funds raised at the Tour de Cure events will go to support the American Diabetes Association's mission - to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
Join Tour de Cure to benefit your health and to support the fight to stop diabetes. To register as an individual rider, a Red Rider, start a team, or learn more, visit www.diabetes.org/tour or call 888-DIABETES.
