Winter Weddings
Wintertime is the ideal time to seek out some of the most romantic Castle Wedding venues, country retreats, and farm houses the UK has to offer. Planning a Winter Wedding, whether you opt for a secluded pretty church or a civil service at a spectacular Castle Wedding Venue, can prove challenging due to weather conditions, fast fading daylight, and even selecting the right outfit to ensure warmth and beauty.
Winter Weddings are definitely growing in popularity as couples discover that they can have their first choice venue and with some of the top UK wedding venues being booked up to 3-4 summers in advance, your dream venue more likely to be available in the winter months.
When selecting a Wedding venue for a winter ceremony, thoughts should turn to somewhere which offers guest accommodation, therefore avoiding tedious journeys in inclement conditions. Having your guests stay at the Wedding venue can mean that everyone can really enjoy the day and evening celebrations, no-one has to remain teetotal to be the delegated driver and guests are able to retire for the evening at their convenience.
For the ultimate romantic, magical Winter Wedding, select a beautiful Castle Wedding venue, where you can ensure your wedding photographs have an amazing backdrop, your every need is catered for, and you can snuggle up in a stunning four-poster bed at the end of your day.
Selecting the time for your service can be of the greatest importance, as the daylight fades rapidly in the winter months, with the sun setting as early as 4.15pm, so consider the photographic opportunities of getting married around 1pm, to enable impressive shots to be taken in the grounds of your venue.
Although a spectacular snow scene makes for sensational wedding pictures, remember in the UK winter months, you may get snow, rain, sleet or even fog, so selecting the right venue is critical. If the weather is poor, it may be necessary to have your photographs taken indoors, so discuss with the venue about where photographs of everyone might be taken, where the group shots might be taken and where your couple shots might be taken.
Your guests may not desire to be outside for long periods in cold weather, so ensure the interior of your venue is able to cater for everything you would like. Your photographer will generally require approximately an hour and a half minimum before you sit down at the venue to take all of the photographs required.
A Winter Wedding can prove to be a truly magical experience, you can guarantee it will be cold and may remain around zero or minus degree temperatures, therefore the bride and bridesmaids will need to consider how to ensure they stay warm for long periods, whilst the photographs are being taken.
Brides look beautiful in faux fur shrugs, boleros, and capes and bridesmaids will benefit from the perfect winter accessory of gloves and velvet shrugs. Evoke the season with "ice" diamond or diamond-like jewellery, using crystal or diamante tiaras, headbands and accessories will add that magical winter sparkle to your wonderful day. Also consider your wedding shoes carefully because it may be slippery or wet underfoot.
Flowers for Winter Weddings can be spectacular, using such favourites as, winter jasmine, freesias, roses, pine greenery and berries and ask your florist to add a touch of sparkle with some crystals or glitter edging to your flowers. Shop around for your florist, a good tip is to set your budget and then approach several florists and ask them what they are able to provide for the budget you have in mind.
Arranging a Winter Wedding could potentially save you money in comparison to the summer months, as there may be out-of-season bargains to be had on transport, and post-Christmas sales on bridal wear, gent's suits, shoes and accessories. Fewer people get married in the winter months and therefore, apart from special deals your venue may offer, many hotels and accommodation offer discounts compared to their summer prices, so you may be able to take advantage of some wedding bargains by getting married in winter. A Winter Wedding does not have to denote a cheap wedding, but it can definitely make your money go further.
Planning a honeymoon to follow your winter wedding, can offer you bargains galore, while friends and family return home to brave the cold, many of the most beautiful places in the world have the best weather during the UK winter. For your winter honeymoon, consider locations such as Mexico, The Caribbean, Mauritius, The Maldives, Africa, Thailand or even further afield to Australia or New Zealand.
Returning home with your wonderful tan, feeling relaxed, happy and looking forward to viewing the spectacular photographs of your wonderful day, makes your winter wedding the most memorable, magical occasion of your entire life.

What kind of events would other folk like to >see as specialty A&S events? After having given a great deal of thought on some way to make A&S competitions seem more period, or at least more viable to a period persona, we in Bjornsborg have decided to take a slightly different tact for our next event. We have been doing some asking around to get folks with a good knowledge of some area of A&S to act as "patrons" of some form. These patrons will actually be judges, but only for the specific form. So we might have a patron saying they need a Stained Glass (possibly to include some of the other "glass" forms, like enameling) piece to place in their local church. Or someone may say they are looking for a new cook to sponsor. In this situation you would bring the piece you wish to enter to the "patron" for evaluation. They will then, hopefully, provide comment and discuss the piece with the artisan. Problems I can foresee. Documentation could provide some distraction from the period flavor of the discourse between entrant and judge we are trying to encourage.Making sure the entrants know and can find the judge for their particular style. (Styles accepted will be made known in the Notes & Challenges section of the next Black Star.) Criteria will still not fully be known ,as has been discussed here, and each judge will have their own ideas about how to judge a piece.We also got stuck with a brisket cooking competition with a judge who probably won't be able to judge any authenticity criteria, so his taste alone will be the deciding factor. Well, at least we know the criteria for that competition. ;-) It's certainly not an all encompassing solution to anything, but it is something a little bit "different". The angle we are trying to grab with this is to make an attempt at giving A&S a period flavor, as most competitions tend to pull strongly into mundanity. While I strongly agree that modern research papers for documentation, having a xerox copy of a judging form to pass around and comment on, and discussing modern techniques for viably recreating a period style are all necessary forms for including in A&S, I still feel it would be nice to try some of these different styles of competition. We shall see if we succeed. Any suggestions?

Chances are you know someone with Alzheimer's disease as 5.3 million Americans suffer from it.
Perhaps you've also heard of Frank Carney, one of Wichita's most successful businessmen. He's the co-founder of Pizza Hut, Genghis Grill, as well as local Papa John's locations, among countless others.
Frank was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about a year ago. In spite of the disease, he is still active. He still exercises on a treadmill and still plays golf.
However Frank's family knows that unless there is a new treatment or a cure, that won't last. That's why Frank finally agreed to let people know he is an Alzheimer's patient. He is also volunteering to take part in a clinical trial.
His wife Janie, said he wanted to be a part in the clinical trial to help others.
"He said, 'Then we have to do it, no questions,'" Janie said.
Frank, his family and company, along with Papa John's Pizza franchises are also helping out, sponsoring this year's "Walk To End Alzheimer's."
"It is hard enough as it is here personally, and we have just begun," Frank said. "But to see what others are going through as the stages progress, and the lack of help."
Janie said that hopefully with enough research, there may be a new successful Alzheimer's treatment for people like Frank and perhaps a cure for others.
"We are not walking for Frank," she said. "We are walking with him because he is walking for others."
The "Walk To End Alzheimer's" will take place at Wichita State University Saturday at 9:30 a.m.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri spent all week ignoring the critics and then drowned out the boos Sunday afternoon.
Eventually, he silenced everyone with his usual late-game magic.
Vinatieri, last week's goat, overcame a subpar day to rescue the Colts, making a 24-yard field goal with 4 seconds left to give Indianapolis a desperately needed 13-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
For Vinatieri, the November slump had lingered long enough.
He missed his first field goal ever inside the RCA Dome against New England two weeks ago.
Last week, he missed a 29-yard attempt that could have beaten San Diego. That miss prompted midweek speculation that Vinatieri might have lost his title as the NFL's best clutch kicker.
So when he lined up for a 49-yard attempt in the first quarter, fans greeted him with boos. When he pushed that kick to the right, the chorus grew louder, and when he pulled his next attempt, a 38-yarder, to the left, the decibel level rose again.
Suddenly, Vinatieri had missed four in a row, his longest streak since missing three straight in 1999.
When it mattered most, however, Vinatieri was himself. He played through the soreness in his plant foot to tie the score at 3 with a 27-yarder late in the first half, drawing mock cheers, then won it with the 24-yarder that finally brought the crowd to its feet.
The Colts snapped a 2-game losing streak and are now 8-2.
Rex Grossman was impressive in his return as the Chicago Bears quarterback -- for 3½ quarters.
Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck passed for 337 yards and two touchdowns, and the Seahawks took advantage of Grossman's late fumble to hold on for a 30-23 victory on Sunday.
Grossman, reinstated as the starting quarterback after six games watching Brian Griese run the offense, was 24-for-37 for 266 yards passing -- his most since he threw for 282 last January in a win against Seattle in the NFC divisional playoffs.
But after not turning the ball over all day, Grossman made the mistake that Bears followers seem to expect from him, with 5:43 left.
After throws of 22 yards to Mushin Muhammad and 23 yards -- on a terrific, one-handed catch from Bernard Berrian -- got the ball into Seattle territory with Chicago down 27-20, Grossman could not find an open receiver. He took off running, but Patrick Kerney caught him from behind and ripped the ball from his right hand. Darryl Tapp recovered the fumble at the Seattle 47.
The Seahawks (6-4) turned that into Josh Brown's clinching field goal from 46 yards with 3:36 remaining.
Grossman lost for the third time in four starts this season, but he isn't the only reason Chicago is 4-6. The Bears defense, often dominant in their run to the Super Bowl last season, allowed 30 points for the fourth time in 10 games. Chicago allowed 30 points in just three games over the previous two seasons.
Michael Strahan showed he's still got it, just days before he turns 36 and in a year he pondered retirement.
Strahan had a season-high three sacks, helping the New York Giants beat the Detroit Lions 16-10 Sunday to gain the advantage in the NFC wild-card race.
New York (7-3) broke a third-place tie with Detroit in the conference and improved its chances of making the playoffs. In the Super Bowl era, 78.4 percent of teams that won seven of their first 10 games ended up in the postseason.
The Giants lost their first two games, won six straight, then lost to Dallas for a second time before handing Detroit its first defeat at home.
The Lions (6-4) dropped back-to-back games for the first time this year, and took it hard after losing their other three games by double digits.
Detroit might need to beat the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers at home on Thanksgiving to maintain a realistic chance at making the playoffs for the first time since 1999.
Brett Favre won the senior bowl.
And now that they're off to their best start since the Vince Lombardi era, the Green Bay Packers have another big bowl on their minds.
But even after a relatively easy 31-17 romp past fellow passing patriarch Vinny Testaverde and the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Favre and the Packers (9-1) don't want to get caught looking ahead to the playoffs and beyond.
Not with back-to-back Thursday games at Detroit and Dallas on the horizon.
It's Green Bay's best start since 1962, when Lombardi's Packers started 10-0 on their way to their eighth world title. Green Bay has a three-game lead on Detroit and can virtually wrap up the NFC North with a win Thursday.
Favre threw three touchdowns in a game that featured the oldest starting quarterbacks duo in NFL history, the 44-year-old Testaverde and 38-year-old Favre.

By Max Terrell
Boys Basketball at Newcastle will see a shift in leadership with the hiring of new head coach Kevin Johnson, who looks to not only bring success to the athletes but also develop a new attitude for Racer Basketball.
Johnson started his coaching career at Haskell in Lawrence, Kan. as a graduate assistant after playing his college basketball there. Johnson also coached in Colorado as an assistant and spent some time in Ketchikan, Alaska as a head coach where he developed the future NBA player Damen Bell-Holter and took his team to two state championship games.
After several other coaching jobs, Johnson landed a job at a major 5A school in Lebanon, Oregon where he helped improve the program.
Now after 20 years of coaching experience, Johnson feels at home back in Oklahoma coaching with attitude and creating a physical mindset for Racers basketball.
"I'm pretty straight forward," said Johnson. "I tell everyone; at 5'10 and a 180 pounds, there are a whole bunch of guys out there like that; so to win, you better have some sort of edge about you as a competitor that can separate you [from other players]. That's how I've always coached. I love my job and I love teaching kids."
Bringing a new attitude and developing the young Racers is exactly what Johnson is looking to do in his time here. He wants to develop, mature and see the athletes excel beyond what they are expected to do, he said.
One of the biggest changes that may come from the coaching change is the way the program will work to develop the youngest players in Newcastle up to the high school athletes.
Everywhere he has coached, the program has been cultivated to teach the same basketball system from second grade, up to the high school. The new coach has already begun to talk to the Newcastle All Sports Association to bring them on board with his program to help develop the younger athletes.
Johnson is a systematic coach and believes that the younger they can get the students adjusted to the new system the more it will benefit the entire Newcastle basketball program, he said. There will also be a new focus on the transition game with the players running up and down the court and dictating the pace of the games while still putting players in the best spots to succeed.
Johnson feels that the players have adapted well to the transition of a new coach and a whole new system during the summer, but there have been some challenges along the way.
"I think the transition has been fairly smooth," Johnson said. "I wish it would have happened a little sooner, so we could have gotten some more coaches established and got some more things for our younger kids.
Our Freshman up have played quite a few games this summer and got some practice times in. But coming in later and not having a staff in place hurt me a little bit because I couldn't get my seventh or sixth graders coming in."
The emphasis will be on defense with coach Johnson and will change from more zone on the court to a more man to man defense, he said. This will keep them accountable and all eleven players are expected to be responsible for their roles on the rotation.
Johnson has an aggressive defensive mind; planning to play full court basketball and trapping constantly.
"We're going to play full court as much as we can with the teams we can," Johnson said. "We're going to do a lot of trapping and do a lot of jumping. We are not going to let other teams dictate the tempo on offense, and the minute that we do, someone else will be coming into the game."
He looks for the team to not rely on one or two people but to play team basketball and get everyone involved to one day reach their goal and have the mindset of a playoff team,
"The goal is to get to the state championship, and if that's not the goal, then we are in the wrong place," said Johnson.
NEW YORK (AP) — Army graduate Mike Krzyzewski will lead a U.S. national team practice at his alma mater, and the U.S. women will train at the Naval Academy as part of an increased partnership among the NBA, USA Basketball and the Department of Defense.
The NBA and its teams will also organize job fairs and other events to support military personnel in their transition back to civilian life.
The plans were announced Friday following the completion of the NBA's board of governors meeting. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, addressed owners at the meeting.
The U.S. men will hold an open practice at West Point on Aug. 18. The women will practice at Navy from Sept. 7-10 as both teams prepare to defend their world titles.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Tulsa businessman George B. Kaiser has joined the Oklahoma City Thunder's ownership team.
Thunder chairman and CEO Clayton I. Bennett made the announcement Friday.
Kaiser is president, CEO and primary owner of GBK Corp., parent of Kaiser-Francis Oil Company, which he has managed for 40 years. He also is chairman of the board and majority shareholder of BOK Financial Corp. and a major shareholder in several energy, oil and gas, mining and technology companies. He is purchasing the ownership interest of Tom L. Ward.
In addition, through a transaction approved by the NBA Board of Governors, Bennett, Aubrey K. McClendon, William M. Cameron and Jay Scaramucci have each purchased ownership interests from G. Jeffrey Records Jr. Records remains a significant owner of the team, and MidFirst remains a major sponsor.
With impressive wins over Tecumseh on Feb. 22, the Newcastle Racer and Lady Racer basketball teams move on as district champions, headed for a tough Regional matchup on a neutral site.
Both teams will face Inola High School in the first round of the Class 4A, Area Two regional tournament Thursday at Henryetta High School. The boys tip off against the Longhorns at 8 p.m., while the girls face the Lady Longhorns at 6:30 p.m.
The Racers (14-9) cruised to a 58-49 victory over the Savages under Interim Head Coach Eddie Miller.
"The boys played hard, it was a physical game and they responded," Miller said. "Tecumseh's a pretty good team, they were physical, but our kids didn't back down. They got after it and fought through adversity."
Miller was named interim coach after head coach Wes Pulliam was suspended from coaching duties due to an incident during practice before the Racers' game against Dale. Newcastle Public Schools officials declined comment.
The Racers relied on the efforts of Caleb Nichols throughout the game, as well as the shooting arm of Casey Freeman and the defensive acumen of Gavin Garner.

After opening their season with a 39-64 road loss against Tuttle, Wes Pulliam's Newcastle Racers had dreams of revenge when the Tigers paid a visit to Newcastle High School Feb. 7.
Revenge was precisely what they got when the Racers pulled off a spectacular upset against the former one-loss team, trouncing the Tigers 51-43.
The Racers (12-8) have been on a 4-1 run since taking third in the Newcastle Tournament, delivering the Tigers (17-2) their second loss of the season.
Casey Freeman led a Newcastle squad that saw three players record double digits in points, notching a team-high 15 points and eight rebounds. Caleb Nichols contributed 11 points, while Issac Johnson recorded 13 points and two assists.
Tuttle's Dalton Secrist contributed seven points, 10 rebounds and a block for the Tigers, but it was not enough to stop the Racers from their second straight win.
The loss bumped Tuttle down two spots to #9, while the Racers remain unranked in Class 4A.

Newcastle girls' head basketball coach Brett Sanders is returning to the sideline.
The Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA) lifted Sanders' month-long suspension Wednesday, Feb. 12 during their February board of directors meeting in Oklahoma City, effective immediately.
Sanders was suspended following two technical fouls being called against him during a 9th grade game Jan. 18 in Tuttle, where the Lady Racers were playing against Blanchard. Video of the game obtained by the Pacer shows that during a timeout, Sanders was quietly talking to his team on the sideline when an official at half court calls two technical fouls on him, resulting in an automatic suspension.
The official claimed that Sanders came on to the floor and was yelling at him, Sanders said. No yelling is heard on the video, and Sanders did not leave the sideline.
Despite the reinstatement, the technicals and suspension were not adjusted.
"They are always going to be there," Newcastle Athletic Director Dale Berglan said. "The procedure had to be followed. When a coach is suspended, the board of directors had to reinstate him."
Newcastle Schools did not seek to have the fouls struck from Sanders' record, Berglan said.
Sanders will return for his first game with the Lady Racers Feb. 14, when Newcastle's girls face Washington in match play at Bethany High School, followed by Senior Night Feb. 17 when the Racers welcome Dale.
When asked for comment, Sanders said that he was happy at the outcome and is glad to return to coaching.
The school district has no plans to pursue penalties against the official who issued the technicals, Berglan said.
Sanders had requested an emergency meeting for reinstatement before Feb. 12, which the OSSAA board of directors denied Jan. 27.
The Lady Racers (15-6) were 6-4 without Sanders on the bench. They are currently ranked 16 in Class 4A.
On a night where Newcastle crowned a homecoming queen, there was nothing Little Axe could do to stop the high-flying Racer and Lady Racer basketball teams.
The girls throttled the Lady Indians 57-44, and the boys smashed the Indians 74-40 in front of a raucous Racer crowd Friday, Jan. 31.
Before the start of the games, Newcastle senior Sara Hamilton was crowned homecoming queen out of 11 senior candidates, which included every senior girls' varsity basketball player and two senior team managers. Senior Ben Bobbitt was crowned king.
The Racers (10-8) were lead by Caleb Nichols, scoring 12 on four points from the field, two threes and two free throws. Casey Freeman and Cale Asperheim both had 11 points for Newcastle, and Ben Persall had 10. Asperheim led the Racers on the boards with three rebounds.
The #15 Lady Racers (13-5) played second on the night due to homecoming festivities. No stats for the Lady Racers' win over Little Axe were available as of press time.
Both teams fell to Blanchard the following Saturday, The Racers lost 46-44, while the Lady Racers fell to the Lady Lions 54-48.
After a road game against Lindsay on Tuesday, both teams will be back at Newcastle Friday, Feb. 7 to take on the Tuttle Tigers. Friday is also Cancer Awareness Night, and donations will be accepted to benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation in honor of Trey Freeman, a Newcastle ECC student who died of a genetic disorder last September.
Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., beginning with the Lady Racers vs. the Lady Tigers (9-8), followed by the Racers vs. the #7 Tigers (16-1).
The Racer and Lady Racer varsity basketball teams faced stiff competition at this year's Newcastle Otho "Sweet Pea" Curtis Invitational Tournament, with both squads notching a loss.
However, both would press on to find victory, with the boys taking third with a 67-66 win over Blanchard for third place in the boys' bracket. The girls took consolation champion with a 51-42 win over Blanchard.
In addition to beating Blanchard in the final round, both teams recorded their losses against Woodward; Lady Racers in the first round, Racers in the second.
"We played decent," Lady Racer head coach Brett Sanders said. "I wouldn't say we played great, I thought Miranda (Curl) had a real good game, defensively we didn't get too much penetration."
Curl, a senior, and senior Sara Hamilton led the Lady Racers (12-3) with 15 points. Curls shot 4-for-11 from the field, 1-for-2 from the three point line, and a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line.

When the Newcastle Lady Racers take to the court for homecoming this Friday, they'll be missing an important figure on the sidelines.
Instead of on the floor, head coach Brett Sanders will be up in the stands, watching as his girls take on Little Axe.
Sanders is under suspension pending a board review from an incident Jan. 18, when the Lady Racers 9th Grade team travelled to Tuttle to face Blanchard in tournament play.
During a timeout, Sanders was in the huddle with his team on the sidelines when the game official whistled him for two technical fouls, resulting in his ejection. It was his second of the season.
According to witnesses, Sanders was ejected for entering the floor and yelling at officials, although no such confrontation took place.
A copy of a video of the incident, shot by a parent and obtained by the Pacer, shows Sanders talking with his players during a time out in a quiet gym when an official standing at half court suddenly gives Sanders a technical. Sanders can be seen turning to one of his assistants but is not heard saying anything when the official gives Sanders a second technical, resulting in his ejection.
Under OSSAA rules, after a second ejection, the OSSAA Board of Directors suspends a coach or player pending a review and reinstatement.
A request for an emergency board meeting was declined by OSSAA officials on Jan. 27.
Sanders declined comment, citing his pending appeal, however he believes that eyewitness accounts and video evidence would show he is innocent.
Sanders will make his case during the next OSSAA Board of Directors meeting, Feb. 12 in Oklahoma City.
Brett Sanders met with his Lady Racer squad and their parents last week getting prepared to take over the Newcastle girls basketball program after being named head coach last week.
"I always thought Newcastle was a great community and a nice town. They've always had good athletes," Sanders said this week.
Sanders, who previously coached at Siloam Springs, Ark., is not a stranger to the state of Oklahoma and isn't the only coach in his family.
His son Chance coaches at Yukon while one of his daughters, Whitney, is the coach at Lawton Central.
Sanders' youngest daughter, Bretlin, is a sophomore on the Oklahoma Baptist Bison basketball team.
"This is close to home. My son is in Yukon and my youngest daughter is in Shawnee and my other daughter is at Lawton. This is a pretty central location and it's the perfect location," Sanders said.
Sanders won his first state title in 2005 at Anadarko and claimed another gold ball at Cache in 2010.
The new Lady Racers head man is excited about the nucleus returning for the Lady racers next season.
"We have a strong group of seniors, nine of them and they've got to be our nucleus," Sanders said.
"Hopefully they can take to my style of basketball. I'm probably a little different than (former) coach (Teresa) Johnston but every coach is different. They did well last year and if I can get them to accept what I'm going to do and go with it we'll be fine."
The Lady Racers were knocked out in the class 4A area tournament last season.
"I always have high expectations for my players and I expect them to work hard. I like to play an aggressive style of basketball both on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor," Sanders said.
"I like to play a lot of full court. I will judge my talent when I get there because I haven't seen them play. I'll adjust to the talent. What I like to do and what can be done is yet to be seen."
Sanders is no stranger to success as his 2010 Cache Lady Bulldog team went undefeated on its way tot he state championship.
"It seems like we have great kids. I met with our players and their parents last week and things went very well. Everyone seems to be gung ho about it," Sanders said.
Sanders has a career record of 515-149 with 17 state tournament appearances.
His teams made state torunament runs in 14 of 16 years after the girls game moved to five-on-five.
Along with two state championships Sanders has five state runners-up trophies.
Sanders' wife, Robin, will be a counselor and assistant principal at Newcastle High School.

Known for calming the body which was my first goal, but find I really enjoy the taste. Nice to have a cup at night.
Alvita Holy Basil Tea is great for making a "Spiced Rum" Mocktail
Posted by mirindalikethedrink on Oct 30, 2013

I cannot say anything bad about Alvita Organic Holy Basil Tea! I had been reading about the benefits of Holy Basil tea (Tulsi tea) for a long time. I originally bought this product to help treat a bad case of halitosis with one of our family members. But, recently I was feeling bloated, run-down and sick so I ended up using the tea for myself. First of all, it is DELICIOUS! Secondly, it really does help to "de-bloat." Thirdly, it gives me a sense of well-being and calm after I drink it. My preschooler even loves it! Here is a recipe for a tea drink we made that ends up tasting like spiced and sweetened rum! Of course since it's made with Holy Basil tea it's caffeine and alcohol free, though! The value for money of Alvita Teas is unbeatable and that's why we will stick with this product. Holy Basil "Spiced Rum" Mocktail Ingredients: several small mandarin oranges (we use ones from South Africa), squeezed and strained for seeds 1-2 cups of Holy Basil tea, steeped for about 10-15 minutes with the remaining liquid pressed from the teabag a small amount of ice 2+ tablespoons of Manuka (or other) honey (to taste) Steps: Combine the squeezed mandarin orange juice and Holy Basil tea. Add enough ice to cool the mixture so that it is warm but not hot (this is essential if you are using Manuka honey). Add the Manuka (or other honey). Stir until all is dissolved. Add more ice as desired or place in freezer or refrigerator to cool to desired temperature. Drink and enjoy!
Love this

I got this tea for the help with calming adrenals. The taste took a little getting used to since I usually drink spicy or fruity teas but it did not take long for me to love it. I do feel like it is balancing or calming, more so than other herb teas I might drink. Worth trying if you're thinking about it. :)
Taste good, great to sip while winding down before bed.....

I was gonna reorder but not in stock, I truly hope iherb gets more in & continues to carry this tea for a long time.....

The owner/pilot was demonstrating the airplane to the two passengers, who were potential buyers. After takeoff, when the pilot retracted the landing gear, two of the three gear position indication lights signaled that the gear was retracted, but the right gear position indicated that the landing gear was still in transit. The pilot re-cycled the landing gear, and all three lights indicated that the landing gear was retracted. After an otherwise normal flight, the pilot decided to demonstrate a water landing. During touchdown, the right side of the airplane "dragged," and the left wing struck the water abnormally. The airplane remained afloat. Witnesses reported that they observed the airplane land with one landing gear extended. Postaccident examination revealed that one of the springs on the landing gear up-latch assembly was stretched, for undetermined reasons. No additional details were provided for the investigation.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Orange Alert
Right? I mean, whats with all these goddamn big orange cans all over the place? Whatever happened to those cute lil orange cones they useta use? Now they got these big-ass orange barrels with the reflecto-tape on em, and they are like fucking everywhere all over the place, man. And look, seriously, I think this is all about the War on Freedom, man. I mean, I think a lot of the shit that goes down now on The Streets aint just like some your tax dollars at work type of deal, although, well, yeah, I guess its still my tax dollars at work, but I dont think its about the potholes or lovely decorative wildflower plantings in the central reservation of the freeway or anything like that, no way. I think theyre putting, like, cameras or nuclear atomic X-ray Detectors in the roads what for to Detect shit maybe.
Look, all I know is I cant get in my goddamn car without seeing one of those giant electric arrows telling me lane closed and stay alert and move my junk left or move it right, and as soon as I see that gigantical blinking arrow, I know some bozo is gonna start crowding me because they gotta get One Car Length More, you know? Cant just fucking move over to the side the arrow says you should move to in an orderly fashion and maybe allow one or two cars to squeeze in front of you. No-ooo, greedy little car-pig, you gotta speed the fuck up and try to get as many car lengths as you can in front of most cars Trying to Do the Right Thing, but then some of those law-abiding drivers crack and start tailgating each other to keep the oinky-ass little car-pigs who want One More Car Length from getting in front of them as the lanes squeeze down, and then you got all these stupid little standoffs where people are either butting in or tailgate-blocking, and the whole line transmogrifies into a throbbing murder-kill tension-chain where everybody is moving one inch at a time to Defend or Attack the line, and now I have a headache and Im talking to myself in my shiny little box:
Right, right, OK, fuckin BMW, just gotta get in front of me, right? Couldnt deal with having a crappy Civic in front of you for the whole next quarter-mile? Nuh-uh, no, you gotta go right up to where the barrels are shutting down the goddamn lane so you can get exactly one fucking car length farther before you slam on your brakes. Nice, youre going 60 mph in a fucking 25 mp-fucking-h fucking speed limit finesare doubledcautionhazardslowthefuckdown youidiot zone sos you could get that goddamn One More car space you greedy stupid-ass road hog four-on-the-floor stick-shift dipshit stick-fucking shit-stick. Thats it, go right ahead, but fuck you and Everybody Who Drives Like You, now Im gonna straddle over the lane-and-a-half width thats left and None Shall Pass, goddammit. I got nothing to lose, punks, I got a Honda with 270,000 miles on it, and you cant do anything except put this set of wheels out of its misery, because no way am I spending money to fix the CV boots or whatever, so cmon and bring it. Except for you, Jeep goddamn Grand Cherokee with the tinted windows thats coming up in the Emergency Lane, goddamn Jeep Grand fucking Cherokee Laredo starting at $27,050 MSRP in the Emergency Lane, you piece of crap, I swear to Jehovah God your car should be taken away from you and Destroyed in an Undisclosed Location where there are no Civil Rights and maybe even tortured first. Like, Id like to yank off your windshield wipers and then put your wheels in cold water for a coupla hours and pull your fucking Owners Manual outta your glove box and rip it up into little shreds and then stuff the torn-up parts into your gas pipe and light it and watch that thing Blow Up Real Good, yeah, you Emergency Lane-abusing motherfucker, you. I cant believe this shit when dirty little road pigs like you pull this kinda crap. Just once I wish a cop car was there to drive right up your tailpipe and then maybe youd get an Emergency in your pants, but theres no goddamn Justice when the Orange Barrels are the only ones watching the herd, man. Youre just like the tool who parked at the mall at an angle the other night so the truck took up three fucking car spaces you piggy little poopy-pants parking-pig, what gives you the right to take up three spaces. I wish someone would seize your vehicle and scratch all the paint up and put one dent in each section and then snap off all your mud flaps and now theres one of these barrels out of position and its blocking the lane prematurely and theres a clusterfuck car-jam but nobodys gonna touch that barrel, no way, and Im starting to think maybe theres Something inside those barrels, you know?

Update: VIDEO: How Representative are Va.'s Representatives?
Date: 01/23/2013
Each year, the General Assembly gathers to represent residents of the Commonwealth. But just how closely do these 140 men and women match the profile of the state's 8 million citizens?
The nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project shines light on this question in a new video, How Representative are Virginia's Representatives?
Based on data from the most recent U.S. Census, the VPAP staff has compared legislators to the state's overall population on characteristics such as education attainment, gender, military service, and ethnicity. The video seeks to increase public understanding of Virginia's part-time citizen legislature.

Harvest Location:
8 Point
Shot Distance:
30 Yards
Harvested With:
"I had been hunting this deer since archery season, I knew he was still in the area. Occasionally I would see some fresh sign he had made. On the morning of December 1, 2003, I had gotten into my stand at 6:15 a.m. hunting some fresh scrapes. At 6:30 a.m., I had turned my head to cough into my jacket ( I had a cold). When I did there was a deer standing under my stand. It ran away so quickly that I never got a look at it. I looked ever way that I could to see where it had gone with no luck. I turned back around dropped my head and said to myself "Man, did I mess this hunt up or what?" I turned and looked back toward the scrapes and there he stood, less than 30 yards away, I threw my gun up and put the scope on him. To be able to take a shot at him, he had to be an 8 pointer or better due to the landowner's regulations. Once I knew he met this regulation, I took my shot at 6:35 a.m. He ran about twenty yards before he went down. He is the result of two and a half months of hunting that ended with only 20 minutes of hunting on this particular morning."

Chesterton Tribune
Kaminski family donates harnesses to CPD K9s
By KEVIN NEVERS
The Chesterton Police Department's K-9 program—now about a year and a half
old—owes a great deal to the community.
It was the outpouring of donations from folks in 2010, spearheaded by Police
Chief Dave Cincoski, which succeeded in raising, within only a few months,
much of the funding needed to acquire and train two dogs.
Then, late last year, when Officer Erik Herbert's partner, Jop, had to be
medically retired from service, it was the generosity of the Ames family
which made it possible for Herbert officially to adopt Jop into his own
Now, the Kaminski family—Ken, Sharon, and Roxanne—has made its own
contribution to the K-9 program: the purchase of a harness for each of the
department's two K-9 units: Herbert's new partner, Kahr, and Sgt. Dan
Rocha's partner, Igor.
At the Police Commission's meeting last week, Kahr modeled the harness: a
handsome model with the CPD's emblem emblazoned on it.
"On behalf of the commission, the Chesterton Police Department, and the
entire community, thank you very much," Member Alex Rodriguez said.
"I'd like to thank you too," Herbert added. "You've always been very
Revised Rules &
In other business, members voted 3-0 to approve a revised set of Rules and
Regulations governing the use of officers' take-home vehicles.
Among the revisions are the following:
•Vehicle inspections will now be conducted on a quarterly rather than a
monthly basis.
•Officers are no longer required to call in their mileage when going off
•An outside jurisdiction will now only be asked to investigate an
officer-involved accident when total damage exceeds $1,000 or there is an
injury or the officer is believed to be at fault.
Meanwhile, the commission thanked residents for two other contributions to
the CPD Gift Fund: one from the Chesterton Woman's Club, in the amount of
$140, earmarked for the K-9 program; and one from Jackie Lanter, in the
amount of $75.

Not So Expert Picks: Week Five Edition
Carolina Panthers
Buy Panthers Tickets
Full Schedule
Upcoming Games
Hey sports fans, T-Bone, Bruce and Chris here with our picks for the NFL slate this weekend. We're going to keep track of these for bragging rights, so we'll keep you updated each week with who's in the lead and who doesn't know as much as they think they may.
So here are our standings after our brutal week three picks. T-Bone won the week going 11-4, Chris was second at 10-5, and Bruce went 8-7. T-Bone remains in the lead at 37-26, followed by 34-29 and, Bruce at 29-34. T-Bone is apparently on some kind of baseball binge and didn't turn his picks in by the time of posting, so instead of getting a zero I let my dog Jackson pick in his place. Here are our picks for week five.
Thursday Night Game
Rams @ Cardinals: These Thursday night games just keep getting uglier and uglier. Kevin Kolb took a few on the chin and so did Chris and Bruce they both took the Cardinals. Jackson: Rams.
1:00 Games
Dolphins @ Bengals: Andy Dalton doesn't seem to have any sign of a sophomore slump. That's why Chris and Bruce both like the Bengals at home this week. Jackson: Dolphins.
Ravens @ Chiefs: The Ravens have been one of the hottest teams in the NFL through four weeks, the Chiefs have not, we are taking the Ravens. Jackson: Ravens.
Falcons @ Redskins: The Falcons were able to control one running quarterback last week, we both believe they can do it again this week, Dirty Birds around. Jackson: Redskins.
Browns @ Giants: The Giants are a hard team to pick, they are up they down, they down they are up, however the Browns are always down, so Giants it is. Jackson: Browns
Eagles @ Steelers: Roethlisberger has thrown 8 touchdowns this season, Vick has thrown almost as many interceptions, you do the math. Bruce and Chris are going Steelers. Jackson: Eagles.
4:00 Games
Seahawks @ Panthers: Bruce has abandoned the pick against the Panthers that way I'm happy either way approach. I'm guessing after that loss there was no consolation. This week Bruce is going Panthers Chris is taking the Seahawks. Jackson: Seahawks.
Bears @ Jaguars: MJD had some words on Twitter for Jay Cutler after he exited a playoff game early a few years ago. This is the first time these teams have met since the incident. Cutler seems like a person that would hold a grudge. Da Bears. Jackson: Bears
Titans @ Vikings: Vikings have been one of the surprise teams this season and the Titans have just looked surprised most of the time. Vikings Ahoy. Jackson: Titans.
Broncos @ Patriots: Brady and the Patriots have haunted Manning throughout his career. This week I see history repeating itself and Brady is going to take out some frustration on Eli's older brother. Chris and Bruce are going with the Pats at home. Jackson: Patriots.
Bills @ 49ers: This one could be over before it begins, the Niners look poised and ready to make a Super Bowl run and the Bills look poised to make a top five draft pick run. Bruce and Chris are both on the 49ers. Jackson: Niners.
Sunday Night Game
Chargers @ Saints: Even though the Saints lost last week they looked good against the Packers making us both believe their first win comes Sunday Night. Jackson: Chargers.
Monday Night Game
Texans @ Jets: The Jets got shut out last week and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get shut out this week again. What is record for longest drought without scoring? Everybody has the Texans. Jackson: Jets

Moon Mining: NASA's Plans to Harvest Water from the Moon
There's a lot of water on the moon, and NASA wants to learn how to get to it. In July 2008, water was found conclusively for the first time inside ancient moon samples brought back by Apollo astronauts. In 2009, observations from three spacecraft showed signals of water across the moon's surface, bolstering the idea that the moon might actually contain significant amount of water. Then, in October 2010, scientists reported that a frigid crater called Cabeus at the moon's south pole is

But I got this opportunity to play out in Pasadena. I was a little nervous, I hadn't played a lot of these songs live before, and certainly not solo. But I got up there and I played really well. The crowd was really into it. It was just a great show. And it really showed me that I can play these songs in a room full of strangers and people will be interested in them. Kind of an eye-opening experience for me. … Not long afterward, I played when all of my friends were there, and it was awful."

While cruising at 14,000 feet, the pilot requested a climb to 17,000 feet. Just after being cleared to climb to that altitude, the pilot advised Center that he was experiencing light to moderate airframe icing. He continued on course to 17,000 feet, and about five minutes after receiving the climb clearance he transmitted that he was in a bad spin. One minute and 20 seconds later the aircraft passed through 5,200 feet, and ten seconds later was lost from radar at an undetermined altitude. The pilot made two other transmissions during the uncontrolled descent, during both of which he stated that he was in a bad left spin. Federal Aviation Administration records indicate that the air mass that the pilot was flying through was moist and unstable. Numerous AIRMETS were in effect for the general area in which the flight was taking place.

Your student can pick up your registration package for you…all they will need to do is show a picture ID (like their student ID).
We want to bring your attention to two faculty presentations you don't want to miss during your visit. On Friday morning, we have arranged two fantastic panel presentations featuring some of CU's most distinguished faculty members:
- The Future of Cannabis Research at CU in a Changing Legal and Medical Landscape (10:00 – 10:50 AM, Center for British and Irish Studies, Norlin Library). A panel discussion organized by Robert Sievers, Professor, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Although marijuana has been cultivated and used for thousands of years, its classification as an illegal drug has limited the ability of researchers to study its uses and effects. The recent legalization of medical and recreational marijuana use in Colorado and the state of Washington has prompted the federal government to allow universities receiving federal funds to begin to conduct research on the plant, and Colorado has appropriated funds for the purpose. CU-Boulder is one of the universities that will take the lead in this effort. Our panel of scientists will discuss the exciting directions cannabis research will take.
- Does this Data Make Me Look Pregnant? Big Data and What It Will Do (11:00 – 11:50 AM, Center for British and Irish Studies, Norlin Library). A panel discussion organized by Dean Phil Weiser, Dean of the School of Law, and Dean David Ikenberry, Dean of the Leeds School of Business. When data can be stored and analyzed in terabytes and petabytes, it can be used for many different purposes. Google can develop a highly accurate spell-checker. Amazon knows what we want to buy almost before we know ourselves. Netflix can suggest movies that we've never heard of, Target can predict if you are pregnant and when you are due, and the NSA can analyze the telephone records of everyone in the U.S. to look for terrorist connections. As more of our business—and life—is conducted online, each of us contributes to the Big Data phenomenon. Our panel of experts from law and business will consider whether this phenomenon is something to embrace—or fear.
There are several intercollegiate athletic events you might want to attend during the weekend:
- Friday, September 19th:
CU Soccer vs. Bryant (4:00 PM, Prentup Field). Come out to Prentup Field and cheer your CU Soccer team to victory as they take on Bryant. Admission and parking are FREE!
- Sunday, September 21st:
CU Soccer vs. San Francisco (1:00 PM, Prentup Field). Stand shoulder to shoulder with head coach Danny Sanchez and your CU Soccer team as they take on the San Francisco Dons. Enjoy FREE admission and parking.
Here's a quick "primer" on some of the great traditions associated with CU Football:
- Friday evening, prior to home games, the CU "Golden Buffalo Marching Band" performs on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. The "Pearl Street Stampede" begins at 7:00 PM (at the east end of the mall by the Courthouse) when more than 200 CU marching band members treat mall visitors to high-energy choreographic moves and demonstrate their musical prowess.
- CU's buffalo mascot, "Ralphie," will be in her corral located on the east side of the Duane Physics Building along Colorado Avenue for one hour only on Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 AM. Take a picture of (or with) CU's unique mascot or give "Ralphie" a lucky pat on the back!
- The CU Bookstore is ready to help you buy all the "gear" you need to look like a "Buff" with special Family Weekend hours. The CU Book Store will be open Thursday, September 18th and Friday, September 19th from 8 AM until 6 PM; Saturday, September 20th from 9 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday, September 21st 11 AM – 4 PM!
