Every night, Grant gives Addison a snack, they read a book, and then brush her teeth. Then she and I read some books, turn lights out, sing songs, say prayers, and then say goodnight. Tonight we were singing and she said, "I want to say night night prayers" so I started:
Me: thank you God for
Add: Grammy and G Dad
Me: thank you God for
Add: Nana and Daddy Dick
Me: thank you...
Add: Boo Boo (Grant's step grandfather that recently passed away)
Add: Mam Maw

Me: (heart full, smiling, and so proud now) thank you God for

Night Night Prayers
Every night, Grant gives Addison a snack, they read a book, and then brush her teeth. Then she and I read some books, turn lights out, sing songs, say prayers, and then say goodnight. Tonight we were singing and she said, "I want to say night night prayers" so I started:

You are asking me?
Something really strange has been happening at gymnastics. Some of the other moms are asking me for advice! Now, I still feel like a new mom who doesn't know what she is doing at times, so this has been a little strange. Addison is one of the oldest in her gymnastic's class and her cute little panties often hang out of her cute little leotard. So, I have been getting the how did you potty train her questions. It's kinda fun saying, "Well I..." I actually feel like I did something right! But I must say, Addison really caught on fast and was easy to potty train. Here is what I tell them:
1. We did a sticker chart
2. I put her in panties as much as possible. She didn't like them to get wet!
3. I figured out the most predictable time for her needing to go to the bathroom and had her sit on the potty at that time. We read books, did puzzles, etc.
4. We had a poo poo sack with candy, bracelets, a movie and so on that she got when she pooped-hince the name!
5. We read a book that talked about mommy and daddy clapping. We made a big deal about this and she loved it when we clapped and danced!
I have misplaced my memory stick reader, so I haven't been able to post any picts lately. I was going to wait until I found it, but Addison has said some cute things that I don't want to forget...
A leaf from a plant was torn into many pieces on the floor the other day. I asked, "Who did this?" and Addison said, "A caterpillar!" She later admited to it!
We were all three in bed the other night reading books before bedtime. Addison looked at her daddy and said, "My gonna marry you daddy. My put on my princess dress, my earrings, my crown and we dance!" (We are working on this my vs. I thing :) )
I had just finished reading a post about baby Harper and I picked Addison up and hugged her and was going on and on about how much I loved her, and how proud of her I was, how blessed we are to have her, etc. She wrapped her arms around my neck and said, "Don't cry mommy. Don't cry. It's OK!)
Tonight when I came home from work, the cutest thing was happening. Grant was cooking dinner (gymnastics night so he fixes whatever I lay out) and Addison had her ironing board in the kitchen right beside her daddy. She was stacking ALL of her panties neatly in a pile on the floor- of course after they had been "pressed."

Praying for Harper
Please click on the button on the side to read Harper's story. I do not know this family personally, but 2 of my friends have met her and have become good friends with her. Also, small world, Kelly's husband went to high school with my sister-in-law's husband.
They need our prayers!

Giving Thanks!
I have been very blessed to have two wonderful grandmothers to help guide me thus far in my life. As posted previously, my Mam Maw went to be with the Lord on her birthday in October. My other grandmother, Granny Sue still lives alone in her house in Murfreesboro. She is a very stong Christian woman, who witnessed to me throughout my childhood and continues to do so today. One thing she told me has really been heavy on my mind and heart here lately. She told me to "always praise the Lord in all you do...even when you wash dishes!" Well, I once tried to memorize the scripture, but unfortunately I had forgotten it. Well, Granny gives us a Christian daily planner for Christmas each year. Last week the scripture was the verse for the day. I have added it to my header in hopes for it to be a constant reminder to me.
Well, I have prayed about it and am trying to live more by this scripture in all that I do- especially at times when I am NOT pleased about something I am doing-like working 4 days now! I know this won't be easy, and I'm sure I will need a refresher from time to time, but here are some of the thankful thoughts from the past few days!
Thank you Lord that...
I have a car to drive to work
I have a job
I am (hopefully) able to make a difference in a child's life
I love my coworkers
I have a wonderful husband who helps a lot with the housework
I have a wonderful child
Addison is happy where she stays when I am at work
Grant gets off early and is able to pick Addison up
Our mothers are able to keep Addison one day a week
I have hands to paint (the shelves in a closet-this was harder than I thought it would be)
I have legs to stand on
I had a quick, easy labor and delivery (my friend Jenny just had a baby girl after an induction that lasted almost 24 hours)
So I hope and pray that you, too, can rejoice during those difficult times. It's funny how many times a day I can say "thank you!" to my heavenly Father. He is good!
Granny Sue also likes shoes! She and Addison are looking at some shoes with feathers that my mother gave her on her birthday. I couldn't find a good pict of Granny...need to get one of those!

My heart breaks
I am so sad tonight. I have heard so many heartbreaking things today. My heart is heavy, my eyes are filled with tears, and my prayers are many.
I am even more saddened by how I acted last week. Granted I can blame a lot on hormones, but how selfish can I be?! I had a pity party. I was ugly to my mother. I was mad at Grant, yet he didn't even know. Wow! And I have so much to be thankful for.
These people are struggling.
I can't share some names, but God knows who they are.
A little girl may be diagnosed with leukemia in the next few days. After many appointments, pain, and questions, she underwent some more tests, and they are waiting for the results. My heart breaks for this family.
A girl gave birth and began treatment for cancer that had metastasized from breast cancer to her liver, spine, and pelvis. I pray for her children, her husband, and of course her. Read her story here. Amanda tells more information. http://babybangs.blogspot.com/
A daddy has gone to heaven leaving his baby girl, and his newly pregnant wife. Here is her blog.http://sweetcarolinebaby.blogspot.com/
It is amazing what people go through in life and how they can go on. I know they can only gain strength in our Lord, and through prayers they achieve that. So please pray for these people.

Thirty Things at Thirty Months
Aunt Gigi took this picture on Christmas Sunday.
Today Addison is officially 2 1/2 years old. I can't believe she has been a part of our lives for 30 months! I don't remember life without my precious child! Here is my list to Addison... 30 things at 30 months...
1. You are such a girly girl! You love the Disney princesses, dressing up, and jewelry!

And then she said...
I cannot get my background to change! I know Christmas is over, but I'm not sure what is going on with it! The cutest blog website is down. Here is my post anyway!
I think everday Addison says something that just cracks me up! I am amazed at how she remembers things and put things together. Three things stand out that she has said lately that I don't want to forget...
We were on her bed reading books and getting ready for her nap. She asked me something and I replied, "umhmm." After doing this the second time, she put a precious little hand on each side of my face and sweetly said, "Mommy, open your mouth and talk to me!"
She fell in our driveway this past weekend and really skinned both her knees. DRAMA! I put a mermaid dressed Dora band aid on her knee and she said, "Is she gonna jump into the cool clear water of a lake?" This is from the book Someday that we read. A mother is talking about her dreams for her daughter and dreams "that someday you will dive into the cool clear water of a lake"
On Christmas morning she made a horrible face. I asked her what was wrong and she said, "I need to bless you!" That was her way of saying she needed to sneeze!

I'm BACK!!!
My mom, sister, and I went to see the Rockets! We had a blast! We had dinner at the Macaroni Grill before the show.
Cookies for Santa!
Presents from Santa!
Addison decided she wanted pink and purple flowers, and earrings for C-mas. Anytime she was asked, that is what she would say. Luckily, Santa came through. She went for the flowers first thing!
After the flowers, she noticed her kitchen! She loves this kitchen! Cupcakes were in the oven and she has enjoyed cooking so much!
She got new sunglasses and insisted on wearing them for C-mas breakfast since the sun was coming in the window! I fixed french toast and blue berries. We enjoyed it!
After breakfast we went to Prescott for C-mas with Grant's PawPaw and Joy. Then on to Murfreesboro for C-mas with my Mom's family. It was weird not having MamMaw there. We still got our red panties, but no one made a big deal out of it. This is a tradition started by my Granddaddy. After he died, my Mam Maw continued to get all the girls red panties for C-mas! I'm not sure who exactly did it this year, but I think it was a joint effort.

Secrets of How to Advertise Your Retail Store Online.
Gateways to success!
Before beginning this fascinating article, be advised, the information is about promoting your business with a website! Ready to roll? Let's get started.
Improving sales figures in your retail store or your Internet website is easy to do with this effective method that brings qualified buyers to into your retail store via your Internet website. Whether your business desires to use a retail store or online "shopping cart." to capture new customers, this skill set helps you build "Internet Landing Pages" with visitor specific criteria.
It is through landing pages you will build your advertising with a system I developed this back in the 90's when customers would tell me they wanted a million hits to their website. This worked then and it works now - so there is no need to pay a high-priced Search Engine Optimization company to get you more hits!
If you have a retail store and don't sell a product from your website why have an website? One million hits to your site will do nothing for you unless you are making sales or improving customer relationships.
So how do you get those sales?
First you have to get qualified customers to your web pages, then convert them into buyers and this conversion process only takes place once you get them to the site by offering them a reason to buy from you. Remember that you want one-million customers, not hits. Let's move on.
Let's begin with establishing a business model we can use for this article. By representing several product lines or offering various services, which most businesses do, we will discover together the easiest way to capture a large audience and then convert them to customers who spend money in your store and therefore produce profits to you.
In this article, we will use a streamlined example of a Carpet Store.
In order to keep it simple, I will use only a few products and services. However depending on your business model it can be unlimited and completely detailed. To make it simple please understand I am limiting the criteria so it can be learned and understood in just a few short minutes. However, you should not limit your criteria when following this model.
So let's look at what a carpet store sells before we dive into the material.
Products: Carpet, Padding, Finishing pieces or Trim, wall base, Transitions, plus you can publicize the brand names your company represents, each on their own page which is another landing page to your website and, therefore, your brick and mortar store.
Services: Installation, carpet cleaning, repairing carpet, inspections of installations, plus the qualifications and certifications of the technicians, and estimate services with floor plans for a fee.
Related Products: Vinyl flooring, hardwood, laminates, specialized products such as cork, linoleum, ceramic tile, composite materials, etc
Do You have a we site? If you do you need landing pages.
If you don't have one then you need to get one right away. You can buy one for less than a hundred dollars a year and with many low-cost web designers it is within reach of even the smallest business. On your website there will be the main page, usually called a home page. In the early days of the Internet these pages were normally labeled "index.htm" or "index.html", but now they may have other suffixes. Once you have this page you would add more pages and link them together, add your images, etc.
Around the turn of the century, something happened with the indexing software that catalogs content on the Internet. They no longer just followed links, the accessed every document on the server regardless of its name or type. This is to the domain owners advantage as she/he could now develop specific landing pages and do geo-targeting by using zip codes on certain pages. In addition, you can target high-income neighborhoods. The people that can afford your product and exclude those zip codes that only buy the cheap stuff.
What is a landing page and how do advertise with it?
Here is what I teach my clients. Copy your home page and rename it to anything you wish. Change it so it only represents one product, from our example, that product is carpet. So name it carpet.html or whatever extension you are using (html, htm, asp, php, etc). Now do the same for padding.html, finishpieces.html, trim.html, wallbase.html, carpetinstallation.html, carpetcleaning.html, carpetrepair.html, installationinspection.html and all the brand names you sell as well. People will search for brand names in their hometown so use the town names of the places you serve as well. Also, use the brand names of the manufacturer's your business represents.
Work on one page a day making it product specific and writing detailed information about that one product so it is not an exact clone of the original. Also, change the imagery as well. The more information you add that is product specific the better it will rank in the major search engines. Be geo-specific, even if you have to use another copy of the page to make it local to your store. I am told a keyword rich page includes 7% of the copy, meaning, 7% of your local town page should say, Dover, Delaware if your store is in Dover, Delaware. Then repeat for the nearby towns you serve. Again, not an exact copy, use a thesaurus, and some original material in each page.
What to Eliminate
Remember, each page only deals with one subject, so eliminate the material dealing with the other products on this page and customize the text so it deals with the product (product specific) you are advertising on this page. So here is how it works. Assuming you have you name, address, zip code, phone number and contact information on the original page, you have just created a targeted marketing piece for each of your products. Search engines like this! The people that run Google and all the other search engines don't like having ten thousand search engine result pages (called SERP's in the business) when you are only searching for one. That is why you narrow down your pages to "one subject" for each page as much as possible.
The question arises, won't that interfere with my home page? No, it stays the same. Don't delete that page, just rename it, then copy and paste, rewrite it for specific products, places, services. Use the renamed pages to be the product specific pages. Second question, won't this eliminate the need for the home page? No, you don't delete that content ever! Keep it and only upload the new, product specific, enhanced pages to your server using file transfer protocol (FTP) and ensure those pages are linked to your home page. These product or service specific pages will rank higher in the search engine results pages, the SERP's if you have good content at the beginning and end of the page.
Since you copied your home page the new pages will still have the links that existed on the home page. These landing pages will only be different in the wording or content and hopefully the images. People will still be able to navigate your site. Best of all, within a few weeks the new landing pages will be cataloged by the search engines and you will have many more entry pages into your website and your business. The more entry pages the better the chance you have at capturing the business.
I mentioned Geo-targeting above, this is important, you should include zip codes and the names of the towns you serve with your retail store on your geo-targeting web pages. This could include customer testimonials, shipping charts, branch locations, etc. This idea captures people that search locally for your product but don't use the exact town you where your branch is located.
NOTE: With smartphones people as use the term "near me" when searching. Include that phrase.
This is a very brief explanation. If you have questions or need help send me an email and I will help you. Feel free to leave a comment or join my "fan club" to get all the updates to this page and others that will be online soon.
The last thing, get the domain hosting service to set your .htaccess file to allow all robots in your root directory. They will know what this means.
PS: Bonus tip: Always keep a copy of your web site content on your computer for safe keeping.

With love
To my dear friends,
Over the last five months since "setting sail" in this space and beginning my adventures as a Blogger, I have come to thoroughly enjoy sharing pieces of my world with you. Please forgive me if, for the next little while, my regular posts become slightly less reliable or my usual joy is slightly shadowed.
Throughout the past few days mine and my children's lives have been filled with the deepest of sadness and tragedy. Tuck, my beloved husband and the most adoring father to our children was killed in a motorcycle accident.
We are hurting and ask for your prayers as we learn to move forward. Please keep visiting for I will still be here, but right now the days are raw and I am focused on placing one foot in front of the other.
With love, Xan xo

A brand is so much more than a logo. It is your business, it evokes emotion, thought and inspiration. If done correctly it separates your business from the rest.
Your product is important, so if you have a fantastic product with little or no brand identity/awareness then you will only go so far.
Your brand is who and what you are... in my case I am going to be selling children's clothes. So the brand needs to be appealing to mums and dads. It needs to look professional, simple and relatable. The colours need to work with the target audience and the product for which I am selling. The product once available needs to be perfect, quality tested, well made and live up to the expectation of the brand. The two work hand in hand.
Bad press can affect the brand and a bad brand can affect the product.
Think Britney Spears.. how much damage has she done to her brand of late... it is going to take a lot of hard work to repair the damage.
I own design agency in Surry Hills Sydney. We develop a lot of brands for a complete range of clients. I can't stress enough the importance of doing this well and long before you are ready to launch your business. Even though I do this for my clients on a daily basis I have spent many, many, many (you get the picture) hours go over my brand, getting it right, testing it with my target audience and so on. Yes I am lucky in that I can do it myself thus save some cash but then I need to spend my money on other areas of my business that I am not an expert on like pattern making, sample making and web development. We can't be an expert on everything and I am a true believer that you must get the mix right and contract to the best that you can afford.
I have added a couple of logo's that we have done here at Fresco Creative.

Mississauga, Ontario, Canada – Ergonomic Assessments
"Leading today for tomorrow" (www.mississauga.ca). As the sixth largest city in Canada, Mississauga is indeed leading today paving way for a healthier tomorrow as it now is receiving services from Ergo-Motion Consulting. Ergo-Motion Consulting offers services such as industrial and office ergonomic assessments.
Ergonomic assessments are becoming increasingly popular as a solution for workplace safety. Every workplace asks its employers to complete specific tasks. Sometimes these tasks are risky, as in having a greater risk of musculoskeletal injuries if the task is done on a daily basis. Computer use is an example of a risky task, unless the environment is correct for the worker. Ergonomic assessments are helpful in providing individual recommendations to fit the workstation to the worker.
If you are experiencing discomfort or pain while working at the computer workstation, you may benefit from an office ergonomic assessment. Ergo-Motion Consulting is pleased to offer both office and industrial ergonomic assessments in Mississauga.
We are committed to offering comprehensive services throughout Ontario and Canada, and we will happily work with you to arrange for service in your location.

This wasn't a redesign per se. Rather, China Daily wanted to consolidate its Saturday and Sunday editions into a single weekend edition. As part of that plan, China Daily decided to make the B-section — which on those days was a combination of business, sports and features — all feature stories.
These are selected spreads from a single edition. The front of the book features all-cap headlines for a lead story on each page. This distinguishes China Daily content from the Telegraph wire content that comprises the back of the book exclusively.
The horror infographic, which I designed, is one of my personal favorites. It plots a film's total box office versus its budget based on the size of the blood splatter and the white space within it.

Senior Championship
The Senior team took on reigning County Champions Ballinacourty last Sunday afternoon in Fraher Field in the first round of the Championship. This was the third year in a row we had taken on the same opposition in the opening game. Playing with aid of a strong wind we got off to a good start with points from Gavin Nugent in the 4th minute and 7th minute giving us a two point lead. Ballinacourty, however brought the game level with points in the 9th and 10th minute. They did however only score one more point in the half which was testament to not only our six defenders but the workrate all over pitch. Further scores in the first half from Gavin Nugent 14th minute Jason Gleeson 25th minute and Gain Nugent 27th minute gave us a halftime lead of two points. Rathgormack 0-05 Ballinacourty 0-03. It was always going to be tough task in the second half playing against such strong opposition who now had the aid of the breeze. The opposition scored three points without reply by the 10th minute of the second half to take the lead and then followed that up with a goal. The game was going against us at this stage but to be fair to our lads they really dug deep and scores from Gavin Nugent in the 45th and 48th min reduced the lead to two. We were starting to dominate in the half back line with Captain Cathal Crowch leading by example with Michael Curry and Conor Walsh leading the fightback at midfield. Two more pointed frees from top scorer Gavin Nugent in the 52nd and 58th drew us level. It was game on and Ballinacorty had introduced County player Gary Hurney at this stage. Three late points from Ballinacorty saw them run out winners on a three point margin.

PITTSBURGH -- The Detroit Red Wings have been through this before.
PITTSBURGH -- The Detroit Red Wings have been through this before.
They jump to big leads against teams that seem grossly overmatched, then find ways to let them back in the playoffs.
The Nashville Predators caught up to Detroit in the first round, and the Dallas Stars put a scare into the Presidents' Trophy winners after falling into an 0-3 hole in the Western Conference finals. Only Colorado proved easy pickings, swept by Detroit in the second round.
Now, the Pittsburgh Penguins are a win from squaring the Stanley Cup Finals through four games. Are the Red Wings vulnerable, or do they have the Eastern Conference champs right where they want them?
"We didn't come into the series thinking we were going to win four straight," Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood said. "We were hoping to, but to say we expected it to be a hard series would be right on."
Detroit was again dominant at times during its 3-2 road loss to the Penguins on Wednesday and was coming on strong before running out of time. The Red Wings aren't panicking; they still lead 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
"It's not over after you're up 2-0 or 2-1," defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom said. "You have to have that mentality that you have to stick with it for four wins. It's not going to be easy. They're a very good team over there, and we knew that, too, coming in."
If the Wings can figure out a way Saturday night to beat the Penguins in Pittsburgh -- something no team has done in nine playoff games and 17 overall dating to Feb. 24 -- they will head home with a chance to win the Cup in front of their octopus-loving fans in Joe Louis Arena.
After being blanked by a combined 7-0 score in the first two games of the series in Detroit, the Penguins returned to the comforts of home and managed to get three pucks past Osgood. Although that was enough to win, they hardly put up a convincing argument that they're now the team to beat.
The Red Wings raced to a 9-1 edge in shots in the first period and closed with a 16-5 barrage in the third as they tried to erase a Pittsburgh lead that alternated between one and two goals.
"We finished the game strong," Lidstrom said. "We had some chances to tie the game up. That's something you want to build on. You want to carry it into Game 4 and take the good things with you."
The "white-out" in Pittsburgh on Wednesday seemed a whole lot better to the Penguins than a shutout or wipeout in Games 1 and 2.
"Anytime you have success like that, it's going to give everybody a huge boost mentally," said Adam Hall, whose third-period goal was the winner.

I can appreciate the quality that goes into great products. That's one of the reasons that I like Innersense products. I also have a great deal of respect for the owners of the company and really like how they run their business.
I used to use Innersense Daily Hydrating Conditioner, their shampoo, Quiet Calm Curl Cream, and IVolume. However, I had to stop using them for a while because of issues that I was having with protein. These issues weren't caused by Innersense products, but I didn't want to exacerbate the protein issue.
I've been wanting to try their newest conditioner for a while now. So, a fellow curlfriend that also happens to be a product junkie and I decided to go in on a liter. The smaller bottle has been sold out for a while now.
I ordered the conditioner on Friday afternoon and it arrived the following Wednesday. When I opened the conditioner I was shocked at how thick it was.
Of course I had to wash my hair right away. The detangling and slip was amazing. I left about half of the conditioner in as my leave in. I didn't dare leave more in because I wasn't sure how heavy it would be and didn't want to weigh my curls down.
I'm looking forward to using this conditioner as a rinse out, a deep conditioner, and as a leave-in when needed. I've included photos, so you can see just how thick this conditioner is.
As with all Innersense products, a little goes a long way, since they are extremely concentrated. Therefore, you definitely get your money's worth in my opinion.

F.I.D.O. Method
F - FOCUS: Mastering an emotional connection is the primary goal of dog training. To recognize the importance of building trust while identifying what non-food reinforcers motivate your dog to CONNECT with you on every level is fundamental. This refers to the mastery of maintaining your dog's FOCUS while training and playing. This is about bond building through learning what motivates your dog.
I - IMPULSE CONTROL: Your dog learns to understand IMPULSE control by learning the true meaning of behaviors such as: LEAVE IT, DROP, GIVE, STAY, WAIT as well as maintaining ORIENTATION positions at all times until the OKAY release cue. This is about teaching your dog not to burst through doors, jump on anyone, or take and later refuse to drop, a toy or food.
D - DIRECTIONALITY: There are three aspects of directionality you need to teach your dog to understand: 1. TO MOVE TOWARDS YOU - 2. TO MOVE WITH YOU MAINTAINING POSITION - 3. TO MOVE AWAY FROM YOU- Dog moves away from you in an indicated direction, towards and to targets, items, locations, and places.
O - ORIENTATION / OTHER MOVEMENTS: The Orientation of the dog; body position, placement, and alignment. This refers to the mastery of the behaviors that come to a STOP; such as the various SIT, DOWN, STAND, BOW, BEG, SETTLE positions. OTHER MOVEMENTS consist of SPINS, TWISTS, ORBITS, PAW, SHAKE, WAVE, LEG, and NOSE TOUCHES.

Behind the French Menu
Bryan Newman
France does not compete with the tonnage of other European countries, but its olives do compete on quality.
The French are proud of their olives and they have a right to be.
The French are proud of their olives and they have a right to be.
French olive production does not get close to the to the quantities produced in Spain, Italy,Greece or Tunisia; however, the south of France produces excellent olives (AOP) (1) , as well as very fine olive oils.(2) Walk around supermarkets or open-air markets and you will find an exemplary assortment of fabulous French olives with AOP (1) ratings. You may also enjoy other first-rate French olives without those special initials at far lower prices; however those you have to taste and experiment with.
Buying olives for a picnic
A picnic while traveling France is, of course, a wonderful way to taste local breads, wines, pates and cheeses, and great French olives. Walk through the markets in town and ask at a stall to taste one of their olives, you will usually get an OK and a smile. Taste that one and then at the next stall, ask to taste and eat another. Soon you will have found two or three olives that you really like, and for a picnic buy 100 or 150 grams of each. If the olives' names are not marked on the packing, ask, and write them down for future use. At the picnic, enjoy the sensations that these French olives can bring when they compliment the cheeses and pates.
Farmer's markets.
If you are traveling through France and want an instant picnic stop at one of the many tourist offices, and ask where the nearest farmers' market is. In small towns and villages, farmer's markets are usually held twice a week in the mornings. The next town or village may be less than 3 km (2 miles) away and they may have their farmers' market that day. The tourist information office will give you a list of farmer's markets for the next week or month, all within a ten or 15 km (6 or 9 miles) range. French farmers' markets will offer nearly everything you need for a picnic; however make sure the white wines are cold. Large cities also have farmer's markets in different quarters, ask in your hotel or at a tourist information office.
A few of the words that may assist you in identifying the tastes of olives on sale:
Olives a l'Ail - Olives with cured with added garlic.
Olives Cassées – Pickled olives that have intentionally been lightly crushed before pickling; this produces a spicier taste.
Olive de Mer or Telline – Not an olive; this is a small and tasty clam!
Olives Ėclatées – Broken olives; crushed would be olives écrasées. These are the olives most often used for pizzas and similar dishes.
Olives Dénoyautée - Pitted olives. For salads, I prefer these; I know I will not break a tooth.... Still taste them before buying, some can be very salty.
Olives Farcie á l'Anchois – Olives stuffed with anchovies.
Olivette – On your menu this will describes the olive shape that some vegetable or vegetables will be cut into. It may well be that there are no olives in the dish in question.

A few of France's olives.
France has over a hundred varieties of wild olive trees, but only 10 or 15 are farmed with their fruit considered good enough for sale. These farmed olives will be on the supermarket shelves and on sale in the markets:
Aglandau; Aglandaou or Berruguette – These are eating olives and mostly seen in the markets when pickled in brine. Some are sold as a crushed eating olive under the name Berruguete Cassées with their spicier taste. The same olives when sold to make olive oil are very much appreciated and their bottles will note the origin. These olives are grown around the department of Bouches du Rhône in the Alpes de Haute Provence. If you are in traveling in the area where these olives are grown try the local Bouche de Rhone IGP VDP table wines. We really enjoyed a local white Vdp wines that we bought in a supermarket and cooled it in our rented apartment's refrigerator. A big plus is that these wines are incredibly cheap as they have no AOP (1) on the label. Vdp means vin de table, wine for the table. The Vdp label has been changed to VdF, meaning Vins de France. These wines with the IGP wines include more than 60% of the wines on the tables in French private homes.There will be a separate post on all the new Pan-European wine regulations and the new French wine labels.

Olive de Nice AOP, Olives Noire Niçoises AOP, or Olive Cailleter – The AOP graded Olive Niçoise. This is probably the most appreciated and the most expensive black table olive in France. It is the olive of choice in Niçoise (7) recipes, and an absolute must in a real salade niçoise. For more about salade Nicoise see the post: Salade Niçoise - The Most Famous of all French salads. (4)

Olive de Nice AOP, may also be on your menu:
Raviolis de Veau à la Ricotta; Courgettes Trompette (5) et Olives de Nice – Ravioli made with veal and ricotta cheese and served with regular courgettes (the USA Zuchnnis) where a single flower grows at one end. That flower at the end is the trompette, trumpet. the dish is served along with the Olives de Nice.
Tapenade d'Olives de Nice AOP – A tapenade made with the Nice olives. A tapenade is a take on the Provençal anchoyade or anchoïad, see below. To make a tapenade into an anchoyade all needs to be done is to add câpres, capers.
Anchoyade, Anchoïade or Anchouiado - An anchovy based spread created in Provence. If you like anchovies, olives, garlic and olive oil this is for you. Spread your anchoyade thickly on French country bread, sliced baguette or toast and order a glass of cold, dry, white wine. Then sit back and close your eyes and take a bite; you may find yourself in anchovy, olive and garlic heaven. Anchoyades will also be used a a base in sauces that accompany other dishes, usually fish.
Salade de Langoustines à l'Huile d'Olive de Nice AOP - A salad of Dublin Bay Prawns, the real Scampi, with the olive oil de Nice (AOP) (6).
Olive de Nice AOP Lucques (La) or Lucques du Roussillon – This is the green olive from Nice olive family. This olive is mostly sold as a table olive though some do make it to the olive press.
Olives Cassées de la Vallée des Baux AOP – Only two types of olives carry this name, the salonenque and the aglandau from the Vallée de Baux a community in part of Provence that was rich in Bauxite, an aluminum ore. That ore was heavily exploited until about 100 years ago; however the connections between the Baux communities remain. The growers of these olives intentionally lightly crush the olives and preserve them in brine for your table.
Your menu may offer:
Ragoût d'Agneau aux Olives Cassées AOP de la Vallée des Baux-de-Provence. - A lamb stew made with the addition of the lightly crushed olives of la Vallée des Baux AOP
Saumon (5) Mariné à Aneth à l'Huile d'Olive AOP de la Vallée des Baux de Provence - Atlantic Salmon marinated with dill and the AOP(1)olive oil from the Vallée des Baux de Provence.
The village of Les Baux de Provence is set on the highest promontory in this part of Provence's rocky Alpilles, and the view from here should not to be missed. Even if the village itself is very touristy, the view of the valley below is unique. A famous hotel and two Michelin starred restaurants are also set here, but for those book ahead.
The nearby town of Saint Remy de Provence is famous for its history, its beauty, its excellent Provençal cuisine and, of course, the convent that treated the painter Vincent Van Gogh when he was considered insane. Saint Remy de Provence was also the birthplace of Nostradamus; Nostradamus was a strange philosopher and physician and I have written more about him later in this post.

Olive de Nyons AOP or Tanches de Nyons AOP – The black to violet colored Provençal olive with a round shape and a large pit; with its own AOP the Olive de Nyons AOP is a very special olive. The word tanches in one of its names just means olive in the Provençal language. The oil from these olives is the Huile d'Olive de Nyons AOP.
The Olive de Nyons come, rather obviously, from around the small town of Nyons in the department of Drome in the Rhône-Alpes. Nyons is about 70 km (44 miles) from Avignon. The Nyon's olives are very different, they are allowed to ripen on the tree until they begin to shrivel, and then hand-picked between November and January. Some of these olives are sold to become very costly extra virgin olive oil and others will be pickled in brine and sold, also expensively, for the table.
Your menu may offer:
Merlan de Llimousine Grillé à La Fleur de Sel, Polenta Crémeuse à l'Olive Noire de Nyons - A merlan is a steak cut from the rump and there is no similar North American or UK cut. Here the steak is grilled atop fleur de sel, the hand-picked salts crystals which I must write about is a future post, and served with a creamy polenta and the black olives from Nyon. The cut called a merlan is often taken home by French butchers for his or her family; he or she knows their value. A local restaurant, with educated locals as its clientele, may well be offering this cut as as a daily special. A merlan de rumsteck can be confusing if you are using a French-English pocket dictionary as the fish called whiting is called a Merlan in French! Maybe the shape of the cut looks similar to the fish? Be careful when you are ordering!
Tapenade à base d'olives noir de Nyons AOP - A tapenade is a take on the Provençal anchoyade or anchoïad. To make a tapenade into an anchoyade all that is done is to add câpres, capers. The chapter above on the Olive de Nice AOP has more about anchoyade.

Olive de Nice or Cailleter – see Cailleter.
Olive de Nîmes AOP - This is the picholine olive and easily recognized as it is a green pointed olive, long and narrow. The Olive de Nîmes AOP is grown in very specific parts of the départements of Gard and Hérault, in the région of Languedoc-Roussillon.
The Olive de Nîmes AOP produces olives that are harvested early in the season, in the fall. At that time, the olive is considered to be low in oil; however, its brine curing process make this an outstanding table olive. These olives come from 183 approved groves in the departments of Gard and Hérault in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon.

Salonenque – This green olive comes from the commune of Salon-de-Provence. Here they raise the salonenque mostly as a green crushed table olive. Salon-de-Provence is a very pretty town and that brings it added fame. This commune is in the Bouches-du-Rhône department Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The distance from Salon-de-Provence to Avignon is 50km (31 miles).
Saloneque olives.
Apart from being a pretty town there are other reasons to stop and look around Salon de Provence I will begin with the museum of soap. Once the town was famous for soap and its factories competed with the Marseilles soap factories; all the soap was made with local olives. Then WWI and the 1929 great depression saw the end of most of the soap factories and so today just one factory with a museum and shop remains: Visit the Marius Fabre soap factory and shop, it is definitely worth it as a different and interesting and educational stop, even if you do not buy any soap and only spend 20 minutes, it is a view into times, and soaps, gone by.
The next reason to visit Salon de Provence requires at least a few days of preparation, unless you already know about Nostradamus (1503 – 1566)?
Nostradamus was a weird and mysterious philosopher, physician, clairvoyant, prophet, lunatic and more. Salon-de-Provence has a Maison de Nostradamus, the house of Nostradamus, he spent the last nineteen years of his life here. By the way just 40 km (25 miles) away is the town of Saint-Remy de Provence which also claims Nostradamus as their own; Nostradamus was born there and so they have their own Nostradamus museum. The competition over the site of Nostradamus's real home is fierce.
Nostradamus fame comes mostly from for his weird and opaque prophesies. The prophesies are inside his verses of four and six lines, called quatrains and sixains.
It is through these verses that his admirers credit him with predicting wars, anti-Christ's, including Napoléon I and Hitler. Innumerable additional prophesies are to be found, if you believe, including predicting the horror of 9/11.

This statue of Nostradamus is in the Museum of Tabriz, Iran,
Now you know what the Iranians are up to!
Now you know what the Iranians are up to!
Before you read some of his verses (most are on the internet) and see what strange happenings he sets in the future, like many other of his predictions his date for end of the world was wrong. If he was right no one would be reading this post!
I have read many of Nostradamus's verses, and many interpretations, I own his complete verses! . Most often the interpretations are even stranger and more convoluted than what Nostradamus himself wrote. See:
The answer, when I have questioned those who interpret Nostradamus's verses is that all religious writings are written in code, and they have the code while I do not. In the meantime back to the olives.

'Visions and Revisions,' by Dale Peck
Dale Peck's "Visions and Revisions: Coming of Age in the Age of AIDS" is many things at once: elegy, cultural analysis, personal history, sexual diary and meditation on the meaning of art, community and self. The book centers on Peck's experiences in his 20s in New York City (1987-1996), facing the AIDS crisis with activism, sexual striving and imagination.
Peck examines early-'90s media narratives about AIDS alongside coverage of serial killers targeting gay men to show how homophobia always shapes the narrative. Or, to quote a guy Peck meets while cruising, "It didn't really matter to the straight press how we died. … It just mattered that we were dying." When Peck alludes to similar coverage of gay men murdered recently, this analysis becomes even more chilling.
Although Peck offers a varied list of queer heroes at the beginning of "Visions and Revisions," he focuses his attention almost exclusively on white gay men, leaving out the rest. And yet, by placing himself within the upwardly mobile narrative of gay assimilation, Peck delivers some of his most nuanced analysis. Watching HBO's "Angels in America" in 2003, a decade after seeing its original theater incarnation, he struggles to recognize his own experience, wondering "if the language I spoke now was my own, or a kind of colonial imposition."
"Visions and Revisions" offers a personal philosophy grounded in trauma, collective struggle and a craving for language. "I would like to eroticize our knowledge of the world and each other," Peck tells the reader after describing a night at a bar with his first boyfriend, when they drank a bottle of water by pressing their lips together and spitting it into each other's mouths. "[W]hat happens next is up to you."

I wrote the following in 2007, back when then-President George W. Bush and the Republican Party were considering blanket amnesty for illegal aliens. It seems so quaint now to think that there would have ever been a real security fence built along what used to be our southern border. And in the wake of President Obama's Thursday speech where he said openly that he intends to grant amnesty to [insert number here] million illegal aliens via Executive Order, it's interesting to look back and see that neither he nor his party is alone in the desire to sell out the American people.
He and the Democrats are merely less polite about it. And my conclusion seems not so tin-foil hattish anymore.
Previously, I made an analogy using the already-mandated but yet-to-be built wall on the southern US border to the unlamented Berlin Wall, saying that such a US border wall should have "the ease and efficiency of surveillance which the architects of the Berlin Wall would have envied." However, I hope that no one would read it and make the erroneous assumption that the two barriers would have the same purpose.
It seems that Jeff Jacoby, however, would have readers believe that the builders of the two had/have identical intent and, for this reason, that President Reagan–were he alive and whole–would be an advocate of the Illegal Immigration Compromise (my coinage).
Twenty years ago this week in Berlin, President Reagan uttered his memorable challenge: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Conservatives who extol Reagan's legacy might ask themselves what he would have thought of the idea that our response to hard-working risk-takers so eager for a piece of the American Dream that they endanger life and limb to come here should be a Berlin-style wall of our own.
(Emphasis mine.)
But for the analogy to make sense, a US border fence's main purpose would be to keep US citizens from escaping to a freer country, not the other way around. (To be fair, I suggested here—borrowing the idea from Victor Davis Hanson [God comfort him]–that a secondary purpose of a border fence would be somewhat similar to that of the Berlin Wall; that it would make it more difficult for Mexican nationals living in the US to travel back to their country of origin, and thus, be one of the prongs which could force them to at least try to assimilate to their new home's culture and society.)
Here's another area in which the analogy breaks down. The Federal Republic of Germany's (then known as West Germany) pre-1989 policy towards its Soviet-controlled brethren to the East was always geared toward reunification (Articles 23 and 146 in West Germany's Grundgesetz; roughly translated as 'Constitution.'*)–especially after the 1960-1961 Soviet construction of the Berlin Wall between French, UK and USA-controlled West Berlin and Soviet-controlled East Berlin. Therefore, any escapees from the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and from East Berlin specifically were treated as West German citizens. Additionally, West Germany's legendary Chancellor Willy Brandt (previously mayor of West Berlin during the construction of the Berlin Wall and, subsequent to that, West Germany's foreign minister) was the architect of Ostpolitik–a policy to normalize diplomatic, economic and cultural relations with the Soviet Union, Poland and, most importantly, East Germany—something which was very controversial at time, to understate things. However, today the policy is viewed as another important step in the path toward the subsequentpolitical reunion of the two countries.
With that history in mind, Jeff Jacoby's idea that Ronald Reagan would view the intent of a proposed US border fence on either or both borders the same as the intent of the Berlin Wall makes plausible the idea that our betters have a plan similar to that of the rather tin-foil hattish North American Union—a political union between Canada, the USA and Mexico. Is that what he is suggesting is being prevented? Probably not; though I've been wrong before.
*A more accurate translation: 'Basic Law.' IIRC, my German language teachers said that the difference between a Grundgesetz and a Verfassung (Constitution) was that the latter could only exist in a country that was whole. However, the Grundgesetz remains in force today.
