Proper Tea Party for Fifteen, Would Love Suggestions
Hi Y'all!! My darling daughter turns 26 this year and would like me to throw a "proper" tea for her special day. I've got a few suggestions already and am on track, but would love any different or unusual ideas you may have that still stay within the realm of "proper" tea. Thanks!
I went to the Sanderson hotel on Saturday and had their "Mad Hatter's Tea Party" themed tea. Teh sandiwches had very traditional fillings but were made with rainbow breads - egg and cress on spinach bread, ham on saffron bread, smoked salmon on beetroot bread.
I'd still do the stilton and walnut toasties though, or "naughty sandwiches" as the bf calls them...
One more sweet thought, something I love for a tea service: tiny tartlets or tassies, made in the smallest tins, or mini muffin tins. Could be pecan tassies or the like, or little tart shells filled with lemon curd or pastry cream and berries, or chocolate ganache, or or or...
For lovely, light, proper scones for eating with jam and cream, my favorite recipe is also the simplest to mix up because the only fat is cream. I've posted the recipe before, here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7114...
re: Caitlin McGrath
Oooh, Caitlin. I LOVE Tassies; they taste like mini pecan pies and they are EASY. That might be my final final sweet. I picked up a tray of shells at Public Grocery around Thanksgiving and filled them with Tassie filling; so easy but for the party I'd make the regular crust. Thanks!
It just occurred to me that if you want something delicious and out of the ordinary, Sarah Leah Chase has a Scallops que Sarah Sarah that would be great:
I don't use melba rounds but have used Pepperidge Farm white bread.
re: chowser
Oh hell, chowser. You are driving me right out of my mind. Those are absolutely beautiful, and a friend will be standing by in the kitchen for any last-minute stuff. She could sear those off and we could serve them with picks and and and and.......
As I said. Straight out my mind.
I think the hardest part is narrowing down the choices but you have to have cucumber sandwiches with homemade mayo and dill. Can you buy Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Bread for the tea sandwiches? http://www.pepperidgefarm.com/Product...
re: Berheenia
I surely can! Thank you for reminding me of this product!! And to Chowser and Judi, thank you for reminding me that the biggest goal of the party is to get all the girls together and have a good time, and I don't have to be twisting my mind all cuckoobunny to get it together, although I definitely still will. :) I know it will come together and be beautiful, and a good time will be had by all.
I usually start my tea parties off with a cocktail. I went to a bar recently which served a cocktail called a "gardener's tea break" (or something like that) which had cucumber puree/juice, Hendricks gin, I think elderflower cordial, and soda, served in a teapot with a little cucumber sandwich on the side. Quite possibly some mint in there somewhere too. Then move on to tea with the scones and then the cakes.
For sandwiches I usually do cucumber on white bread, smoked salmon on wholemeal bread, and egg and cress, or gentlemans relish with quails eggs. I am coming round to the idea of less traditional savoury things though, and recently did goats cheese and purple basil jam crostini. I have also been making toasted sandwiches, cut into quarters, filled with stilton and pickled walnuts which are quite the best thing I've put into my mouth in 2012.
My mom and I have been hosting a tea party every year for about a decade. The first one seemed very overwhelming, but we now have it down to a science!
You for sure need scones, clotted cream and jam. The king arthur flour scone recipe is a good one. It sounds like you have the sweets covered. Everyones favorite sandwich is always one with stilton, walnut, sliced pear and watercress. I don't know how traditional it is, but it's delicious. Here is the recipe http://www.food.com/recipe/stilton-pe... I always leave out the tarragon as not everyone likes it. The other thing we do is lamb sausage wrapped in puff pastry. Again, I don't think it's traditional - but is a fun, fancy pigs in a blanket. I always follow Ina Gartens' recipe - but you really can just wing it. Good luck - do as much as you can in advance. But be prepared, there is always a lot of last minute prep to do!-
re: mamachef
Mamachef, I got my heart-shaped sugar cubes at Jay International Grocery here in St. Louis, they had them with the other varietal sugars like palm sugar and maple sugar and demerara. I can't recall the brand and a google search yielded mostly DIY methods. It might be fun to try making your own, though it sounds a bit time-consuming. Sounds like a great party.
I can't add anything to the wonderful ideas already suggested, mamachef, but I do love the idea of a formal tea party, and may do something like that myself for some upcoming occasion.
In the realm of 'unusual' tea party ideas, maybe something with a tropical twist? Small curry puffs and pineapple tarts would be features of a South-East Asian tea. When I had tea at the Cadogan a few years ago I had the most delicious meringue with passionfruit curd.
re: shygirl
Right? We'd DEFINITELLY have to have a "stronger than tea" option for the crowd, but what fun it would be, and I was planning to serve one anyway. :) along with all the other goodies. I'm betting the young ladies will opt for the Pimm's Cups and Mimosas before they'll head for the tea but that's just how they roll.
Have you seen shaped bread tubes? I have them for hearts and flowers and they make fun shaped bread for tea sandwiches or quick breads (although it takes fooling around so the batter doesn't spill). They're like this:
I must have been to much more casual tea places in England as a student because most teas were just scones, clotted cream, whipped cream and jam with tea. For me, it was more of an excuse to eat clotted cream. I've only had the three tier holders in nicer places and ironically, the most formal have been in the US. I personally don't like loose tea in the pot because the last cup is too strong--I'd use a tea ball even if it doesn't infuse the water as well as loose tea. I love financiers as part of tea, too, not too sweet, perfect small bite.
I don't know if Americans are much more into the tradition of a proper afternoon but ones I went to in England, even at the college president's house (he was a Lord) weren't that traditional. I remember having apple pie and cheddar cheese, definitely not traditional fare. Oh, and if you can get Pimm's No. 1 cup w/ sparkling lemonade, that was the highpoint (although it could be because we were in college). For non-alcoholic, there was Rose's grenadine or lime syrup. And, I think because they wanted to torture the American (me), they always had marmite. All this talk makes me want to go punting.
re: chowser
Yo, Chowser!! What great ideas!! I mentioned JUST now that she's requested Mimosas, but that was just because she wants booze and that was the only remotely acceptable remedy we could think of. But Pimms! Certainly, I can get that. I remember having a Pimm's cup and it was garnished with a cucumber spear, a lemon slice, maybe a few grapes, and something else. It was delicious, and such an adventure going after the fruits when the drink was gone. :)
Thank you! Excellent!
Your last line had me falling out of my chair laughing. -
re: chowser
Hi, Chowser....have you ever seen tea filters? http://www.finum.com/permanent-tea-filters.htm
They changed my life! I'd tried virtually every means of steeping my loose tea and this is the best because it allows much better infusion and can be used "forever." They're easy to clean and can fit in a mug or teapot.
I also love my glass teapot and warmer. In addition to being the best teapot I have ever had (lightweight, no drips), it lets the tea be seen in all its glory, especially beautiful with the candlelight glowing through it. http://www.davidsonstea.com/glass_tea...
But now you have me wanting to make flower-shaped bread! I've always cut my little sandwiches in different shapes but did not know there were special bread tubes. I am agog. Isn't it bad enough I already have not one but two madeleine pans? And neither fits into my (large) toaster oven. Sigh.
re: shygirl
I've used one of those Finum filters, but I have this one I like even better (seems to fit more and bigger mugs): http://www.swissgold.com/e/t_produkt0...
It makes brewing loose tea a breeze, as you say.
re: shygirl
Nice--I rarely make a pot of tea anymore but that would come in handy. When I left England, my friends gave me a tea cozy.
The bread tubes were an impulse buy when I was at a Sur La Table, years ago. I don't know if I'd buy them again but I do appreciate them for occasions like these. LOL, I also have two madeleine pans but they are unitaskers for me, never mind that I rarely make madeleines anyway.
I just threw a tea party for twelve a few weeks ago!
We started off with some scones (really like this recipe from epicurious): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Miniature-Cream-Scones-with-Currants-10328
Then we had 3 kinds of tea sandwiches: cucumber sandwiches on white bread (cut into rectangles), smoked salmon sandwiches on pumpernickel (cut into rounds using a biscuit cutter), and curry chicken sandwiches on wheat bread (cut into triangles). I really like the contrast between the different types of breads and shapes, they all looked great!
For desserts, we had 3 different kinds of macarons (been on a macaron kick lately). Chow.com actually has a great recipe that I use as a base: http://www.chow.com/recipes/28339-french-chocolate-macarons-with-chocolate-ganache. I made the chocolate macarons w/ chocolate ganache, green tea macarons w/ white chocolate buttercream (substitute matcha powder for the cocoa in the same recipe), and earl grey macarons with honey buttercream (substitute loose-leaf earl grey tea for the cocoa in the same recipe). Just adored how dainty these looked and the girls loved them! I found that I preferred to petit-fours (which I usually find too sweet), even though they're not traditionally part of british tea.
By the way, Amazon.com sells lemon curd and clotted cream (or double devon cream which I actually prefer) if you can't find it in stores in your area.
Here are some pics, hopefully it'll give you some good ideas! http://arleneandulysses.smugmug.com/P...
re: arlenemae
Thanks, arlenmae! I'm loving the idea of the differently-shaped tea sandwiches. What a good idea for contrast!! I'm also playing with the idea of a checkerboard loaf, but that's so much trouble. And I recently saw a pretty cool deconstructed "Loaf sandwich" made of finger sandwiches. Hmmm....
tiered servers like these are very traditional for tea service in hotels and make a lovely presentation for small pastries and petits fours.
mamachef, thre's a cute little book I have -- see it here --
might be fun to look through. I've never had the "proper" experience myself!
re: blue room
I've had it twice; the best was a tearoom in Ghiradelli Square. Of course I remember everything we had, and I'm just trying to replicate, but a little differently. Roxlet and others have reminded me about the cream biscuits, and I can source the double or clotted cream locally. I'm also considering several other bars and bites. I am going to serve savories, which may take it out of the realm of "totally proper" but I'm really excited about it.
re: mamachef
The little book I mentioned has these listed for sandwiches and 'savouries' -- Cucumber sandwiches ("peel and slice ... into transparencies..."
Egg salad sandwiches
Potted shrimp
Scotch woodcock (an anchovy spread, no birds involved!)
Welsh rarebit
Tomato sandwiches
Devilled ham sandwiches
Watercress sandwiches
Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toast
Alice B. Toklas sandwiches (Cooked mushrooms mashed with butter, lemon, salt & pepper, a little cayenne) spread on toast
Martha Stewart is no doubt good at this sort of thing -- here is a link to her tea sandwiches-- http://www.marthastewart.com/search/a...-
re: blue room
Thank you!! Between this and some other buddies, I have a GREAT start now!! I'm stuck on cream biscuits with clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam, petit fours, mini lemon pound cakes with lemon glaze, brownies (probably Nick Malgieri's Supernaturals) because there must always be chocolate. The birthday girl has made a special request of dates stuffed with chevre, wrapped in bacon and baked so I need to do that even if it's untraditional. She has also requested alcohol in the form of Mimosas, so I'll do that too. When she made the request, I asked her if she wouldn't rather just call it an hors dourves party, but she wasn't having it - a tea she wants and a tea it shall be, even if it's weird. That's kinda how we roll anyhoo.
re: mamachef
I've had afternoon tea many times, incl. at Fortnum & Mason in London, and little savouries were always served. At F&M, which was the fanciest, or "most proper," there were tiny sandwiches, a little scone with clotted cream and strawberry preserves, and petit fours. In other tearooms, there have been little sandwiches always (my favourite part), often a savoury scone as well as a plain one w/ cream and curd &/or jam, teeny-tiny quiches, and always some sort of sweet finish - shortbread, perhaps, or a truffle, etc.
At my own tea parties, I've served gougeres, which were hugely popular, tiny crab cakes, or other miniature savouries. The fancy sandwiches are always nice, but I like to include something hot besides the scones.
You're going to have so much fun, and everybody will love it.
We did it for mine when she was two (tea for two), but I'd LOVE it if she still wanted a tea party at twenty-six! You need scones and crumpets (recipes abound) with cream and strawberry jam and lemon curd ( not hard to make, and you can refrigerate it for months...so you can make it ahead of time). There are lots of crumpet recipes online, you grill them on top of the stove with a non-stick grill pan...they are very english-muffin-y (my limey husband says "No, they are NOT" but they are, kind of...) If you can't find crumpet rings, small cans with both top & bottom cut off (think tuna or pineapple) work just fine, just spray them with lots (lots & lots) of non-stick spray. I just did a quick google search & someone recommended Mason jar rings, which sounds like it would work. Clotted cream is not hard to make, but I find that mascarpone makes an admirable substitute if I"m feeling lazy or don't have time. Also, of course, finger sandwiches (cucumber, watercress, curried chicken salad, egg salad, shaved ham) with the crusts cut off all fancy. Sticky toffee pudding (google the Schlafly Tap Room recipe, it is foolproof) or a trifle. And remember, you're setting out a 'cream tea' which is not a 'high' tea (which, at least in my in-laws' part of the world means 'with meat' or 'what we call supper when we are putting on the dog'.) I bought a bunch of teapots at Goodwill and Salvation army and used them to hold flowers & rolled-up napkins and utensils and everyone had to wear a hat. We had a lot of fun, and the pictures were priceless. In England, every cream tea requires one of those three-tier serving pieces for the finger sandwiches or for petits fours, the silver ones with the handle on top...(I scored on at Salvation Army). As I recall, we even found some heart-shaped sugar cubes, although as an adult, I would prefer the rough-looking cubes of demerara, if you can find them. Two-year-olds like the heart shaped cubes so much, they tend to sneak the whole bowl BEFORE the guests arrive...can you guess what she was like during the actual party?
re: blue room
Oh yes, Hats and dresses are required. Luckily this gang just gave a "Run for the Roses" party, so the hats should be no problem. We do have a tiered stand and a cake stand, so that department is okay.
Heart-shaped cubes? Awesome! Do you have any idea where you found them?
That kid must've been on the ceiling after a bowl of cubes......... :)
re: tonifi
great suggestions on what to have and what not to have, and what a great idea to celebrate a birthday!
just a note on crumpets: I really was not successful with mason jar rings, as the batter stuck to the part of the ring that fits on top of the jar. I personally would not recommend using these.
in terms of foods, I really enjoy having a few pieces of fruit with tea (strawberries and the like) - it gives a nice reprieve from all that starch :)
good luck!
Hiho Mama... For one thing, don't forget the proper tea was poured into a proper bone china teacup from a lovely bone china teapot or a silver teapot (using china or silver creamer and sugar pot as well).. Mismatched was fine and sometimes desired. Linen napkins and silver utensils complete the service. Bouquet of flowers for the serving table. Candles not lit til after 4:00PM.
My mother and her friends usually had all the typical sweet and savory tea sandwiches and pastries but always included petit fours. They're so lovely and decorative. The only things that were bought instead of home made... There was a local bakery that made beautiful baked ones to order plus the very thin pinwheel sandwich bread of various colors. Happy 26th to your daughter.
re: Gio
Gio, this is great advice. We are planning it for late afternoon, and luckily enough I do have a tea service that I scored at a flea market, so no worries there. It's a garden party, even that late, but we can expect good weather. I LOVE the petit fours idea. I actually make them, and they never ever came to mind, but several pastel petits topped with edible flowers is a gorgeous addition, so thank you, and I'll pass your salutations on to daughter!!
re: mamachef
Basically I take a regular sponge cake recipe and add about a tsp. each of lemon rind and rosewater as well as 1/2 tsp. of cardamom. The squares of finished cake get dipped in white chocolate dyed pink and dry on a rack. While they are still sticky, I add a pinch of sesame seed and a pinch of Aleppo pepper atop each petit four, although candied rose petals would also be good and highlight the rose flavor.

Solar Sail To Mars
February 1st, 2005 | researchmaterial
Gregory Benford of the University of California, Irvine, and his brother James, who runs aerospace research firm Microwave Sciences in Lafayette, California, envisage beaming microwave energy up from Earth to boil off volatile molecules from a specially formulated paint applied to the sail. The recoil of the molecules as they streamed off the sail would give it a significant kick that would help the craft on its way. "It's a different way of thinking about propulsion," Gregory Benford says. "We leave the engine on the ground."
In a forthcoming issue of the journal Acta Astronautica, the Benfords explain how a sail covered with a paint designed to emit gas when it is heated might propel a spacecraft to Mars in just a month. A rocket would take the craft to low-Earth orbit, 300 kilometres up. After the craft unfurls a solar sail 100 metres across, a transmitter on Earth would fire microwaves at it to heat it up. The Benfords calculate a one-hour burst of microwaves could accelerate the craft to 60 kilometres per second, faster than any interplanetary spacecraft to date…

So... all of this traffic was heading straight for the updates, so us app developers shouldn't get our hopes up about tons of sales or anything?
Oh, I guess this is yesterday we're talking about so I can look for myself how sales were... they appear totally non-affected. There's a 0% change between last Wednesday and this Wednesday in nearly every category. (I had 16 updates yesterday for Battery Status vs. 12 for last Wednesday. That's the only change I see.)

It was easy, and fast. No drama...All the app updates were fast too. No waiting 6 months to a year or never for fruitcake butter flavor pie.

Mine started the update automagically (one wonders if Apple staggers these to smooth server usage), but required a password to proceed (to disable my maps functionality) so I am thinking not all folks were right on top of that approval.
Then once the nut was downloaded, another process required approval to TOS for install which probably also checked in with the mothership. Mine did it via wifi. Rocketman

It has 6 "pages" of information. Each comparing you data in all kinds of different ways like locations, time, app, wifi, cellular, all in any user determined period of time. Honestly It breaks out every possible way to show usage. The only negative is it DOES require location services in the background (this allows it to track data consumption by app) so it drains battery relatively quickly. Although, I've been using this for a couple months and most days I don't get close to my battery dying. But there are still a good number of days (25%?) that I need to either charge a bit, or make a conscious effort to reduce iPhone use. Now here's the bad news (which I probably should have led with). I've tried searching for the app, and now I can't find it on the app store... I don't know what happened. The app is by mobidia.

Jalen Rose released from jail today
Former University of Michigan basketball player, NBA player, and current ESPN analyst Jalen Rose was released from Oakland County Jail today after spending 16 days behind bars for drunken driving.
Rose apologized for the DUI and his lawyer said he shouldn't have been jailed.
When he pleaded guilty in May to driving while intoxicated, Rose told District Court Judge Kimberly Small he drank six martinis before crashing his SUV in March along a snowy road in West Bloomfield Township.
Small, who is known for coming down hard on drunken drivers, lectured Rose for 15 minutes before delivering her sentence. She told him that jail time was the "right punishment" in his case.
Small routinely sends first-time drunken drivers to jail, and has said she believes that sends a message that it is a serious crime. Under Michigan law, first-time drunken driving is a maximum 93-day misdemeanor, but there is no minimum mandatory jail time.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia American Water Co. flushed the water tank at Yeager Airport Thursday night, leaving the airport without enough water to flush its toilets, Director Rick Atkinson said.
"That tank is there for firefighting at the airport," Atkinson said. "It's unacceptable for them to pull a stunt like that and they don't even have the courtesy to let us know.
"It's their tank," he said. "But they could have put peoples' lives in danger."
Atkinson said airport officials discovered the problem about 7 p.m.
"There is some water, but there's not much pressure," he said.
Atkinson said the airport has bottled water to supply customers, but fear there is not enough water pressure to flush toilets. Airport officials are calling the West Virginia National Guard to provide enough bottled water to dump down the toilets for flushing.
Water company spokeswoman Laura Jordan said the tank at Yeager Airport was one of five water tanks scheduled Thursday to be completely drained as part of the flushing process to rid local water lines of the chemical MCHM. She said the tank would be refilled overnight.
"They're doing this at night to cause the least impact on customers," Jordan said. "I was told it wouldn't affect service."
Jordan said a valve that was supposed to increase the water pressure while the tank was being drained shut down, causing the pressure problem. The valve has since been reopened, she said.

ABT Virgin
Today I will make my first-ever ABTs :clap2:.
A friend from ELk Grove, IL brought up 2+ pounds of Japs (.49¢ a pound!!!) :becky:. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/dd38a93b.jpg All laid out this morning, waiting for the treatment. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/0d725902.jpg Pop a top.......again.....and again...... http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/5218cb00.jpg Right down the middle....... http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/13cbe114.jpg Ready to get de-seeded and deveined....ready for a quick soak in water......:bow: |
Outstanding. On your next batch (it won't be long....), I'd recommend leaving the ends on and snipping the stems only. It helps keep the filling from oozing out when they're cooking.
Great job - keep the pics coming! |
looking good you are off to a great start
Have Fun With It!!!!
That's the right way to start 'em!:cool: Can't wait to see the end result.
Keep the pics coming...lookin good...
Gonna fill with pulled pork, too.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
looks good, great price too
Now we're cookin' (literally).
http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/b3d3aa7d.jpg First of all, we have some severe weather, so the awning had to go up. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/84c7edbc.jpg Love it when TBS happens. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/4afae941.jpg Cream cheese, cayenne, brown sugar, pulled pork....yummy. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/2154c341.jpg All wrapped up and ready to go. NOw the neighbors keep stopping by to "check" when they'll be done. |
On little tip for a ABT noob -- especially if you are drinkin' beer while making them. When that beer reaches your bladder, use extreme caution when you decide to relieve yourself. Touching one's junk after cutting and cleaning a bunch of jalepeños can drastically alter one's comfort. :shocked:
It doesn't hit you right away. It takes a few minutes. Yes, I learned the hard way. :rolleyes: CD |
And....the money shots......
http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/cc90ca53.jpg Nice and finished on the smoker. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...1/35ec49e3.jpg And a few plated. People came LOOKING for me to tell me how much they liked them. |
Nice, Jeff!
You had me at the begining, but the pulled pork put it over the top .....AWESOME :thumb:

John 15:13 (NIV): Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
On Memorial Day, we set aside a weekend to remember those who have died to keep our country free. It is so appropriate that we do this. We honor those who gave "the full measure of devotion," as Abraham Lincoln said. We honor those who paid the supreme sacrifice and gave their very lives for us, the citizens of America.
If you count up the deaths in the wars American's have fought, you will see that it is more than 1,300,000 (If you add in the wounded, it is nearly three million.)
How do we honor those who have died? First, by being good citizens. We do this by voting, by contributing to society, by being good neighbors, by paying our fair share of taxes, by giving back to those in need, including those who have been harmed or displaced by man-made and natural disasters. We take pride in our communities and keep our streets and property clean. We honor them by being good workers or students, doing our best and taking pride in our efforts.
I also feel we honor those who have died for our freedom by enjoying that freedom. This may sound simplistic, but when we enjoy the freedoms our country offers, we are keeping those who died from doing so in vain. We are thankful people, then, and not self-centered or selfish. And we realize the price that has been paid. The third way we honor the fallen is by taking a moment to pause and say thanks.
What is amazing to think about it that those men and women died for us whether we appreciate it or not. We can go about our lives completely selfish and never think about them and we are still given the same freedom. We can be terrible neighbors or citizens and yet we have the same freedom and rights to enjoy. We can even scoff at History or deny that the soldiers existed, but freedom is ours for the taking. The gift of freedom is the gift of making our own choices.
When someone dies for you, don't let that death be in vain. And remember to pause and say thanks.

Texans are known as meat eaters and enjoy they're big juicy steaks. But sometimes it's nice to eat a meal that is just vegetables and follow the new Meatless Monday trend. Chefs always need to have some good vegetarian dishes in they're repertoire because vegetarians and vegans don't want to just eat salads and pasta.

Sternoclavicular articulation
Sternoclavicular articulation | |
Sternoclavicular articulation. Anterior view. | |
Sternoclavicular articulation visible near center but not labeled. | |
Latin | articulatio sternoclavicularis |
Gray's | subject #81 313 |
MeSH | Sternoclavicular+Joint |
The sternoclavicular articulation is a synovial double-plane joint composed of two portions separated by an articular disc which is made from fibrocartilage. The parts entering into its formation are the sternal end of the clavicle, the upper and lateral part of the manubrium sterni (clavicular notch of the manubrium sterni), and the cartilage of the first rib, visible from the outside as the suprasternal notch. The articular surface of the clavicle is much larger than that of the sternum, and is invested with a layer of cartilage, which is considerably thicker than that on the latter bone.
The sternoclavicular joint allows movement of the clavicle in three planes, predominantly in the anteroposterior & vertical planes, although some rotation also occurs. Muscles don't directly act on this joint, although almost all actions of the shoulder girdle or the scapula will cause some motion at this articulation.
The unique double-hinged articular disk found at the junction of the clavicular head and manubrium allows for movement between the clavicle and the disk during elevation and depression of the scapula. This disk also allows motion between the sternum (manubrium) and itself during protraction and retraction of the scapula.[1]

Inter-Regional Trade Flow Estimation Through Non-Survey Models: An Empirical Assessment
Inter-regional trade estimation has been pointed out as a crucial problem when constructing a multiregional input--output system. Knowledge of inter-regional trade flows, at least of the pooled volume of exports and imports by commodity, is critical in accounting for important spillover and feedback effects deriving from inter-regional linkages. However, in most countries, there are no completely reliable survey-based statistics on inter-regional trade. Thus, this paper intends to evaluate the reasonability of using indirect inter-regional trade estimates, comparing different estimating methods and assessing the sensitivity of the model results. Based on our empirical comparisons we conclude that input--output models are not greatly affected by the insertion of different trade values. Thus, our results support the use of indirect estimates for inter-regional trade, whenever survey-based data are unavailable.Download Info

"Woonsocket...trying to be reborn..." Woonsocket by Pawtuxet
Woonsocket Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 17 photos
The Rhode Island Historical Society created a small interactive museum to depict the struggles and culture of the French Canadians who migrated from Canada to work in the mills during the industrialization of the northeast. I include an informative link for you to investigate and I encourage everyone to visit this really well thought out museum if they happen to pass through.
Woonsocket is trying for a rebirth of its economy .... pumping Federal Monies into the beautification of some of their city streets and creation of pocket parks.
There is an interesting combination of things to see in Woonsocket.
First I will give you the link to the Worker's Museum and later I will fill you in on han's...a Chinese Restaurant that is a jazz club. (Go Figure!)
You will also find some gorgeous Victorian architecture in the homes which were the mill owners homes. Of course there is plenty of lesser housing representing the workers homes, as well.
More later...

It has been my experience that by re-balancing both air and water side environmental system and making certain the building automation systems are performing as designed, that a minimum 15% energy and cost savings can be realized without the expense of replacing equipment. The equipment it self can be much less than 1/3 the cost of replacement due to location and in come cases near impossible due to issues with shut-down.

Mold control in a dry basement?
October 3, 2011
Mold control in a dry basement?
I have a very dry unfinished basement in a new house. Not a drop of water anywhere. A couple of years ago, shortly after we moved in, we found a whitish mold growing on some older wooden furniture and certain cloth items.
We had someone come check it out and they pretty much laughed at us. He said it was the driest, most perfect basement he'd ever seen. He advised us to run a dehumidifier and that seemed to have stopped the mold growth. I figured there was some moisture down there from the concrete curing and put it out of my mind.
However, recently I've noticed it growing again. A table, a pair of boots, etc. White splotchy, dust-like mold.
Everything I google about mold seems to be for damp, old basements. Advice about sealing cracks and getting rid of water. There's nothing about controlling it in a dry basement.
So what do I do? I can continue to run the dehumidifier but that doesn't seem to prevent it from growing. It's a somewhat tight house, would some sort of air circulation help? Is there a "mold bomb" I can run that would kill it once and for all?
It's a whitish mold, not the deadly black stuff, but we all suffer from allergies and we'd like to stop it. We have a lot of stuff stored down there that I don't want ruined. I'd also like to finish part of the basement some day but I don't want to do that until we get this under control.
We're in New England, so humidity down there is a given, but the dehumidifier should take care of that. The dehumidifier drains to a sink, so it runs pretty much all the time.

I live in MA, have lost belongings in the past to the mold you describe, and just had a plumber out to work on my dehumidifier's auto-drain setup this morning.
Do you know how moist the air in your basement is? My dehumidifier gives a readout of the humidity level. Even when the floor and walls are dry, the number can still get pretty high. Depending on the size of your basement, one dehumidifier might not be enough to maintain a low enough moisture level to keep the mold at bay, even when it's running continuously.

I'm in a similarly new, tight, dry house as yours and I've seen the same thing, especially in the walled-off workshop part of the basement that doesn't benefit from the drying effect of the furnace (which runs even in summer to heat domestic water). The suggestion I have seen elsewhere, which I have not tried but which makes sense, is to install an exhaust fan that pulls air from the basement to the outdoors in such a way that air from your upstairs living space is pulled down into the basement. Pulling outdoor air directly into the basement tends to cause mold, as walls, floors and stuff that's in the basement are all cooler than the outside air (in summer, when I think most of the problem occurs). But reversing the flow pulls warmer air down, warming up at least the stuff in the basement and preventing mold growth.
Google "basement exhaust fan" to find products, including reversible fans. I think
is the one I first heard about. These fans will use much less power than the dehumidifier. I think some of them have humidistats so they only run when necessary. The recommendations sometimes include scooping the exhausted air from near the floor where the heaviest, moistest air would be. As a side benefit, if you have any radon infiltration, the fan is pulling that out, too. The ultimate solution may be both an exhaust fan and a dehumidifier that runs during very humid weather.
I've also caulked a quarter-inch gap between the concrete floor and the concrete walls all the way around the foundation — in my case to help stop radon infiltration, but presumably it also stops moisture. And I've put a plastic cap over the floor drain that leads to a drywell — cap is light enough to float away in case of flooding but heavy enough to stop most of the air flow.
The other thing, of course, is simply to avoid storing stuff that's a likely substrate for mold down there, like furniture, cloth, cardboard etc.

I think the biggest thing contributing this sort of mildew is the temperature differential in the summer. Anytime you open a door, a blast of warm, humid air comes into the basement and it hits the cold surfaces and condenses. I find that it's mostly objects resting on the floor that turn mildewy. The most final way to deal with it is to insulate the walls with spray-foam and put a layer of pink foam insulation on the floor with a layer of plywood over it. In the meantime, we found that an air cleaner helps.

"It's a somewhat tight house, would some sort of air circulation help?"
If you are getting less than half an air change per hour then you need to provide mechanical ventilation. The correct way to do this is with a
or HRV. Even houses that aren't that tight can benefit from an HRV; especially if there are stagnant areas with lower air flow.

Swings of hundreds of points up or down have investors wondering if the stock market is irrational. Analysts say the volatility reflects uncertainty about the economy. Get used to it.
Brendan McDermid/Reuters
New York
One day the stock market loses 500 points in a spate of pessimism. The next day the gloom lifts and the market swings back, rising 500 points.
The wild swings are enough to make investors wonder if the market is overreacting? Is it irrationally nervous?
On Thursday, investors could legitimately ask those questions as stocks went through another wild day. After dropping nearly 520 points on Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared almost 423 points on Thursday.
Stock market observers say the high level of volatility might well be around for a while. Over the long term, stock prices might begin to reflect the economy and corporate earnings. But, over the next few weeks, fasten your seatbelt.
Peter Coleman, director of research at JMP Securities in San Francisco, says the volatility is in part because of a high level of uncertainty over the future of the economy and the issues surrounding the financial stability of the European banks.
"The market is trading off every bit of information that comes out one way or the other," says Mr. Coleman, a market watcher for 19 years. "The market is going to continue to be volatile."

Congress Sends Food Safety Bill to President's Desk
December 21st, 2010
On December 21, 2010, the House of Representatives voted 215-144 to pass the Senate version of the Food Safety Modernization Act, with the Tester-Hagan amendment protecting small farms intact. This final vote by the House ends weeks of procedural wrangling, and sends the bill to the President's desk for enactment.
As we reported in a previous blog post, the food safety bill hit a roadblock after passing the Senate in late November because a provision requiring the collection of user fees violated the Constitutional mandate that all revenue-generating measures must originate in the House. House leaders then attached the bill as an amendment to two separate spending bills, neither of which were able to gain sufficient support.
Then, on Sunday, December 19, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) circumvented the original technical mistake by attaching the bill to a House-originated measure (HR 2751) authorizing a cash-for-clunkers program – a "shell bill" with bipartisan support. The Senate approved this shell bill by voice vote. The final bill passed today by the House mirrors the bill passed three weeks ago by the Senate.
It includes six NSAC-supported amendments championed by:
- Senators Jon Tester (D-MT) and Kay Hagan (D-NC) to give very small farms and food processing facilities as well as direct-market farms who sell locally the option of complying with state regulation or with modified, scale-appropriate federal regulation.
- Senator Sanders (I-VT) providing FDA authority to either exempt farms engaged in low or no risk processing or co-mingling activities from new regulatory requirements or to modify particular regulatory requirements for such farming operations.
- Senator Bennet (D-CO) to reduce unnecessary paperwork and excess regulation required under the preventative control plan and the produce standards sections of the bill, including instructions to FDA to minimize the number of different standards that apply to separate foods, to make requirements scale appropriate, and to prohibit FDA from requiring farms and other food facilities to hire outside consultants to write food safety plans.
- Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) to provide for a USDA-delivered competitive grants program for food safety training for farmers, small processors and wholesalers, with a priority on small and mid-scale farms.
- Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to strip the bill of wildlife-threatening enforcement against "animal encroachment" of farms and require FDA to apply sound science to any requirements that might impact wildlife and wildlife habitat.
- Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) to exempt farmers from extensive and expensive traceability and recordkeeping requirements if they sell food directly to consumers or to grocery stores, to allow labeling that preserves the identity of the farm through to the consumer to satisfy traceability requirements, and to in most cases limit farm recordkeeping to the first point of sale when the product leaves the farm.
NSAC has been a primary player in negotiations over the content of the Food Safety Modernization Act for more than a year. We regard passage of this bill as a great accomplishment, as it will help promote food safety with scale-appropriate standards.

If the FDA is given the authority to exempt small farms from onerous or cost prohibitive or unfeasible requirements, do farmers have any redress or protection provided if the FDA does not use their authority to exempt small farms or modify regs for small farms?
To whom or what is the FDA accountable when crafting scale appropriate regs for small farms? Who will create those rules?
If farmers have a choice between state and federal regs under the Tester-Hagan amendment, but the FDA requires the state through funding incentives to create rules equal to their own, is there still some protection provided to farmers under this amendment to S510?

I was invited to participate in the Big Leagues Magazine 14 team, 28 round, mixed league mock draft on Monday night. This mock was my second within 24 hours, and after using the "draft middle infielders early" strategy on Sunday night, I wanted to use a different strategy, but had not placed a finger on which strategy before the draft started. After seeing how the first few rounds went, my strategy smacked me in the face. I was going to use the "Wait on Pitching" strategy, and I think it worked out pretty well.
Sometimes it is good to go into a draft with a pre-determined strategy, but if things don't go as planned, owners sometimes fail to adjust to what the draft is bringing to them. I usually head into my drafts with a list of targets, but if the flow of the draft is telling you something, you must act accordingly. And that is what I did on Monday night.
The fantasy experts who participated in this draft were the following;
- Mike Stein (FantasyJudgment)
- Ben Pasinkoff (Ben's Baseball Bias)
- Victorious Secret
- Alex Hume (Bullpen Banter)
- Kyle Mensing
- Keith_WeTalkFantasySports
- David Wiers (RotoGraphs/Bullpen Banter)
- Jon Williams - Advanced Fantasy Baseball
- Fake Teams
- Brett Talley (TheFantasyFix.com)
- Dwade
- Andrew Townes
- Team JmeD
- Michael Jack Schmidt

I like the way my pitching staff turned out, with Cain and Chapman at the top, and three very underrated starters Hiroki Kuroda, Tim Hudson and A.J. Burnett, and two young starters with upside: Erasmo Ramirez and Alex Cobb. Chapman is the wild card here, as some think he can be a top 10 starter in baseball this season. And we already know that manager Dusty Baker doesn't like the idea of moving Chapman to the rotation. If he fails as a starter, I have one of the best closers in the game, as they won't waste him in a set up role.
Kuroda, Hudson and Burnett are all older starting pitchers, but all three won 16 games and put up a mid-3's ERA last year. Grabbing these three starters in the 14th-17th rounds of a 14 team league was like getting that unexpected raise at work.
I think I did a good job grabbing hitters early, but after taking a closer look, I lack that big stolen base threat on my roster. But, I do have some power with Gonzalez, Ramirez, Konerko, Laroche, Cespedes, CarGo, among others. I am down on Braves catcher Brian McCann this season, as he is coming off shoulder surgery, but I could not pass him up in the 12th round.
I have to admit, I drafted Rockies outfielder Carlo Gonzalez with the 9th overall pick, but looking back, I whiffed on Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, as he was still available at 9th overall. I was shocked that he was not taken at 4 or 5.
One first round pick really stood out for me was Buster Posey taken at #4 overall. Number 4!! There were other picks that left me scratching my head, but that is what makes these mock drafts so much fun, as you can try different strategies. Maybe the guy picking 4th was using a strategy where he wanted the best hitting catcher and reigning NL MVP, or maybe he is a Giants fan and couldn't pass him up. It happens.
I am glad I participated in this mock draft as it proved to me that the "Wait on Pitching" strategy is probably a strategy fantasy owners should consider come draft day 2013. Heck, if you participate in multiple leagues, give this strategy a shot. I know I am.
