Flower Delivery to Sutherland with Clare Florist
Sutherland is a land registration county in the Highlands of Scotland. It borders Caithness to the east, Ross-shire and Cromartyshire to the south and to the north and west is the Atlantic Ocean. The name Sutherland dates back to the era of the Norse rule and settlement over most of the Highlands as well as Islands. Although within it are some of Great Britain's northernmost lands, it however took the name Suðrland ("southern land") as viewed from the Orkney and Caithness standpoint.
It was not until 1601, that the Province of Strathnaver at the northwest corner of Sutherland was incorporated into Sutherland. It was home to the warlike and powerful Clan Mackay and as such named Dùthaich 'Ic Aoidh in Gaelic which means the Homeland of Mackay. This part of Sutherland today is is known as Mackay Country and unlike other parts of Scotland where the traditional names of the area have been diluted, there is still a prevalence of Mackays in the Dùthaich.
Sutherland is blessed with some of the most dramatic albeit beautiful scenery in the whole of Europe. This is especially evident at the western fringe at the point where the mountains and the sea meet. Here are high sea cliffs and very old mountains made up of Precambrian and Cambrian rocks. The inland landscape is rugged and sparsely populated. In terms of area, Sutherland is Scotland's fifth largest county with a population comparable to that of a medium size Lowland Scottish town. There are many rugged mountains, fine beaches like the Sandwood Bay which is accessible only by foot along a rough track.
Its population is mainly concentrated in the coastal towns, such as Helmsdale and Lochinver. Until recently these towns made much of their living from fishing around the British Isles. Compared to the Rest of Scotland, much of Sutherland is poor with few job opportunities beyond government funded employment, agriculture and seasonal tourism.
Sandwood Bay
Reputed to be one of Europe's best beaches, Sandwood bay is a four mile flat walk from Blairmore north of Kinlochbervie to the impressive unspoilt sand of Scotland's northwest coast. Tales abound of the a ghost nearby that haunts a ruined cottage close to the beach. Stout shoes should be worn for the walk and can be taken off upon arrival. If you fear animals then it is best to sit out the trip as the walk goes through grazing land where sheep roam. Bring along a suncream and a waterproof, the weather is very unpredictable. Also bring along food and water. Take along a camera to capture the scenery and remember to bring along a mobile phone but do not rely on it to work, Finally remember to leave before it is dark or you may lose your way.
Timespan museum
Timespan museum provides an insight to Helmsdale, Sutherland and the surrounding area history. The collection illustrates different aspects of ways of life in the past with recreations of a croft, byre, smithy and shop. Other displays present the areas' archaeology, geology and natural history. The gallery also showcases works of international, national and local artists.
Assynt Festival
Enjoy A 'Taste of Assynt', 'Made in Assynt'. Many events billed for the duration of the months it will last. There is much fun to be enjoyed by everyone. The event holds in Stoer, Lochinver. Opening times are 4th October 2014 at 10:00am and 8th October 2014 at 11:59.
The Sutherland Show
The show is an Agricultural show which began in the 1950's to showcase Sutherland's vitality and productivity. The show held in July 2014 and had two ring feature acts 'Flying Ryan' and 'Elite Falconry.' Flying Ryan is a professional arena motor cycle stunt show team composed of dare devil rider performing stunts, comedy stunts and fire stunts. Elite Falconry provided flying display with birds showcasing the power, beauty and talents of the birds of prey. The event will be held again next year pn the 25th of July starting at 9:00am and ending at 4:00pm same day.

I am looking for info on Marion Hensley. He was born about 1838. I have
heard he may have been from Yancey Co. NC, but I am not positive. He was listed in the 1880 Madison Co., NC Census and was married to Mararet ?
They were listed with the following children:
John W.
Mylern S.
Margaret M.
If anyone can help me find out more about this family I would greatly
appreciate it. I have been looking everywhere for Marion's name and I
can't find it anywhere. I was given the info from the 1880 census from
someone else and that is all I have been able to come up with.
Thank you

Julian Bennett is being allowed to leave Nottingham Forest on a long-term loan deal in an attempt to get back to full fitness.
Loading Market ...
Football Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
Forest manager Billy Davies admits that it is 'important' for 25-year-old left-back to gain some game time in a hope that he will regain his sharpness and come back to the club fully rehabilitated.
The former Walsall player suffered a serious knee injury against Doncaster back in 2008 and despite being out for 18 months, Bennett has been back in full training at the Championship side since the end of last season.
Davies told the Nottingham Post: "It is important for Julian to go out and gain some match fitness.
"Having had so long on the sidelines, he will still need to regain his sharpness. He should be fully fit again by the time the new season starts.
"He will have had a pre-season under his belt and he should be ready."
Davies added: "But the best thing for him will be to go out on loan, probably until January at least, to get himself back to the right level. We will look to get him the right move to allow him to do that."

Is the matterhorn up?
Yes, it opened several days ago now. It's refurbishment took less time than originally planned, which is very different from the Monorail refurbishment that has been extended a week.
Indeed. LDF, Ride Warrior, Clarabella and I all rode it Monday.
Yup. Rode it today with my two year old. She loved it!
Disneyland - It's better than drugs.
I went on Monday and was very surprised to see it running. I didn't see anything noticeably different, though I don't think there was meant to be.
Heck yes!

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

I am always impressed by what is called non-interference. That means "let the dictators in place if they are friends"...and then dictators fall...and no friends are left, nobody wants them, they are "shamed", their accounts are frozen...just at the moment they cruelly need that money the very same friends let build inside their frontiers. If there hadn't been a revolution, Ben Ali would still have bank accounts in France, Switzerland and elsewhere. How fair is that?

CIT TRADE FINANCE: Middle-market retailers cautiously optimistic for holiday.
Details on Industry Insight.
Large crowds turned out on Labor Day for the start of the Quiksilver Pro New York in Long Beach, and the town welcomed the event, the surfers and Quiksilver with open arms.
Quiksilver brought a touch of Hawaii to the big city with an opening ceremony featuring blessings from Titus Kinimaka and Mel Pu'u and short speeches by some of the surfers competing, including Kelly Slater.
While the most prominent surfers in the world were at the opening ceremony, the biggest cheers came for young local surfer Balaram Stack, who is competing in a wild card spot. You definitely got the feeling that Long Beach has a real sense of community and pride, and the boardwalk at the beach seems to be a real gathering place for the town.
Dave Juan, co-owner of Unsound Surf Shop in Long Beach, said the contest is a dream come true. He and his partner, Mike Nelson, held the Unsound Pro here for about 13 years and tried unsuccessfully to get other surf companies involved, Dave said.
To have the Quiksilver Pro in Long Beach is amazing, and he credited Quiksilver for "having the balls to do this in New York."
"We finally have some respect for our waves. We are honored by this," he said. "To see all these happy faces – this is great. We are part of the Quiksilver family now."
The town seemed to embrace the event, with small business owners creating their own signs on storefronts welcoming Quiksilver and the tour surfers, and locals and visitors alike mobbing the 11,000-square-foot Quiksilver store on the sand.
I spoke with a few locals who said the contest was the biggest thing that had ever happened in Long Beach, a working class beach town on Long Island. Those I spoke to were not pleased that the city cancelled the festival part of the event, which was supposed to include performances by dozens of bands during the week, skate and BMX demonstrations, and more.
The city said it did not have the resources to deal with that event and the aftermath of Hurricane Irene as well.
On Monday, crowds stood for hours watching surfers in the Expression Sessions, and waited to snap photos of athletes and get autographs.
I saw several Quiksilver executives at the event, including CEO Bob McKnight, Pierre Agnes, President of Europe, Craig Stevenson, Americas President, and Anton Nistl, DC Shoes Americas President.
The company is hosting retailers from around the world throughout the week. Quiksilver has rented some houses around town, which are holding barbecues and informal parties at night, and the Allegria hotel is filled with media, surfers, and executives, with parties there as well.
Quiksilver said nearly 500 media representatives from around the world are attending, and from a wide range of publications, including surf, lifestyle, fashion and business.

Evergreen was a beautiful location for our September wedding! Brooke was amazing in helping us coordinate everything. She was there the day of and made sure everything ran PERFECTLY. We even had a slight medical emergency during the reception and she handled everything so well! We communicated via email with Danielle in the months leading up to the event. She set up our tasting and answered our questions. The food was outstanding, outside ceremony was gorgeous, and the reception inside was the perfect size for our 100 guests. The bartenders were awesome and full of energy the entire night! I would absolutely recommend Evergreen Country Club as a wedding venue!

I first visited Evergreen attending a bridal show and it was love at first sight! The mountain backdrop sealed the deal. Brooke and Danielle were very responsive to my emails & questions. No question was small or silly. The day of our wedding I felt very comfortable and confident that Danielle had everything under control. When I walked into the ballroom for the first time, it was absolutely stunning. Better than I had even pictured putting it together for 9 months! The staff was very professional and courteous to me guests. Weeks later I still have people talking about the food! I am so happy we chose Evergreen Country Club for our wedding - the day can be described in one word, perfect!

Everything was wonderful! Danielle and Brooke were exceptional at offering advice on planning, ballroom arrangement / setup, and food selections. The views from the terrace are spectacular, making this country club ideal for anyone looking for the "Virginia is for lovers" feel. The grounds are great for photography too! What a dream wedding it was for us!

They helped me every step of the way and were so nice, so responsive, so accommodating, and really patient with me! We are SO happy we found Evergreen and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Couldn't have been more pleased with the way our day went - flawless! And all credit to them. Strongly recommend!!

The employees and staff of the Evergreen Country Club did a tremendous done job handling my daughter's wedding reception on July 12th. Many of our friends, relatives, and family were very impressed by the layout, cleanliness, atmosphere, the food, and the staff. We did not hear one negative comment about the entire evening. My wife and daughter were particularly happy with the instant help received when anyone was asked for any assistance. My personal thanks goes to the bartender, a job well done

We had a wedding reception at Evergreen and were very pleased, especially with the delicious food and helpful staff. The wedding pictures came out gorgeous, especially with the water fountain and mountain backdrop to the beautiful golf course. There are so many scenic spots within walking distance around the main building in which to take pictures. The event planners at the country club (Danielle and Brooke) were very sweet and accommodating. They were so helpful in answering all of our questions, helping to coordinate the wedding, and honoring our special requests to make our day extra personalized and special. I also recommend hiring Danielle or Brooke for the "day of coordinator" because they were great at catering to our needs, making sure everything ran smoothly. The servers and staff at the country club were all so helpful and efficient, too. I highly recommend Evergreen for any catered event.

I had a beautiful wedding at Evergreen and I want to thank Danielle and Brooke for everything they did. They never said no to me, they found a way to make everything work. We hired Danielle for the day of and not sure what we would have done without her. From setting up the ceremony and reception just right, to refilling our popcorn bar, being flexible with the chef making items not on their menu (my family is Russian and wanted our cultures food mixed into cocktail hour), and making sure I had everything I needed the day of. These girls were amazing and not a single thing went wrong that the guests could have ever known about. Not to mention the food is absolutely delicious!
I do have a few negative items that I would like for them to work on in the future. Please make sure every guest gets a slice of cake. We took more than half our cake home and several family members never got a slice. They say they serve every other empty seat while guests are serving and then leave a few out on the cake stand. We had enough cake for all guests so we shouldn't have taken as much home. Just wish they served that better.
The bartender served house liquor at the start of cocktail hour when it was supposed to be call bar. This was fixed by reception time but I feel we should have been credited the difference since we paid for call not house. Also, during the hour of consumption, since we had open bar for 4 out of 5 hours, they served house rather than call. Evergreen said they did that to save us money which we appreciate but if we wanted a lower tier, we would have asked for that.
Regardless, these are minor things to work on with the staff. Evergreen provided us beautiful linens at no cost because of their amazing relationships and I'm certain we wouldn't have had as beautiful of a wedding anywhere else. The property is gorgeous and they really know how to take care of you for a 5 star wedding.

Overall opinion was awesome! The venue was beautiful, the food was extremely delicious, and Danielle and Brooke were more than helpful. Having the coordination service the day of made our wedding a breeze. All we had to do was show up and they did everything else. Our wedding day was pretty much perfect and we had such amazing feedback from all of our family and friends. Only minor things that I noticed weren't perfect. I had requested hurricanes to go around the unity candles and they weren't there so our candles kept blowing out. I had also requested to have them supply the cake cutting knife and that was missing too, I had to quickly run to a nearby table and use a butter knife to cut the cake so no one would notice. Lastly, I was hoping there would be more blue color from the uplights but they weren't really all that noticeable. All completely minor things, nothing that ruined the day. We really had a great time!!

I had my wedding at Evergreen country club on October 12th, 2013. Evergreen went above and beyond for me and my guests. Planning with evergreen was easy as our day of coordinator Danielle, was always quick to respond and quick to answer our questions. Our wedding day ended up being a rain out but it all worked out with our rain plan and evergreen did everything they could to make my day go off without a hitch. Food was great, service was great, and we had fun getting ready at the venue during the day. As far as value and quality goes in northern virginia you will not find anything better.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Amazing Tree Quest is branching out
Second annual contest garnered hundreds of votes
There was nothing wooden about the response to a recent contest to identify your favourite trees.
The 2012 Amazing Tree Quest — organized by St. Boniface-based Rivers West Red River Corridor in partnership with the Manitoba Forestry Association — garnered around 650 online votes from community members across the province for 24 nominated trees.
The criteria for trees in Winnipeg were that trees had to be situated along the Red River Corridor (technically, the contest spans the area of the corridor from Emerson to Lake Winnipeg).
Among the categories were Biggest (Diameter) Tree, Tallest Tree and Wildest Crown; Historic Tree; Most Notable Tree; People's Favourite Tree and Best Photograph.
St. Vital resident Cathy Haining won in the latter two categories for the massive Carolina poplar that adorns the front yard of her Pulberry-area home.
Measured by the MFA, the tree is 20 metres tall, has a circumference of 443 centimetres, a diameter of 141 centimetres and a crown spread of 22.3 metres.
Haining's only unanswered question is the tree's age: "People often want to know how old it is. My husband thinks it's at least 100 years old as it's so big. We'd love to know."
"We get a lot of comments from people who come through the street and say what a glorious tree it is," said Haining, an educational assistant at Windsor Park Collegiate who has lived in the house since 1997. "We're very pleased to have it, as it's a beautiful tree. We're very proud of it and love everything about it."
The Hainings also don't mind the regular maintenance that comes with a tree of such majestic proportions, which includes raking the leaves and picking up the branches after a storm or high wind, as well keeping a close eye on their eavestroughs.
"During the last storm we had, we were outside in the rain, because there were so many dead branches. It was just Mother Nature doing her thing," she said.
Among the other nominations for the contest were an American elm in River Heights, a butternut in St. James, a bur oak in North Kildonan and a plains cottonwood in West St. Paul.
Rivers West's executive director Julie Turenne-Maynard said one of the goals of the contest is to create awareness about the "important role trees play in our lives and environment, and the need to protect and conserve them."
"We are very pleased with the number of trees nominated this year and of the increased interest by the general public to particpate in the voting process," said Turenne-Maynard, who lives in Southdale.

November 6, 2014 - Essays: Cheap Hope
Cheap Hope
Good Lord, deliver me from unrelentingly cheerful worship; for
Christ's sake. Amen.
That's a prayer I've thought on Sunday mornings. Yeah, I know,
I'm a curmudgeon in the pew. Some think, I suppose, even Jesus couldn't
please me. What I don't get is the reflexive assumption that, after all is said
and done, the church is in the entertainment business. That we should do
whatever it takes to fill the pews, pandering included. Pastors who would never
accede to their children's wishes for a steady diet of French fries and
hamburgers nonetheless set the hymnbook aside in favor of praise songs...
because, you know, learning to sing "For All the Saints" isn't easy, especially
that first note. The pulpit readily swaps Bible paraphrase versions for
the reading in the NRSV in the bench rack, because no one cares that a
translation is authorized or not, and, besides, the paraphrase with its legions
of cliches matches ordinary speech. But, above all else, in worship, dear
pastor, smile, be happy. It worked for Robert Shuller. It works for Joel Osteen.
It can work for you
too. Like the tiny book of aphorisms I grew up with reminds every turned-around collar, "Smile and the world smiles with you; cry and you cry alone."
Right, picture me in the pew with my doleful look while those
around me are swinging and swaying to a contemporary beat.
In a small book every Protestant minister has read (or should
have), and many a Roman Catholic priest, The Cost of Discipleship, the
author, my beloved Bonhoeffer, tries to set straight his fellow Lutherans (and anyone
else prone to a misunderstanding of faith as mere, even if heartfelt, belief).
He coins there a phrase which I predict will be serviceable from now to
eternity: "cheap grace." Loving and serving Jesus ain't easy; it's expensive,
costing a disciple everything he has, heart, mind, and strength.
What I am caviling about in this essay, however, isn't cheap
grace but cheap hope. Turn on your TV to those stations where "Christians"
rule the air waves, and you can listen to the pulpiteer trumpet the
transformational power of faith in which Jesus is pictured (in this curmudgeonly
mind of mine) as a latter day John D. Rockefeller, the dime dispenser, only the
favor the Galilean dispenses is the healing of your wound, your promotion at work,
reconciliation with your spouse, and dollars in your bank account. Just
get right with God, bless his holy name, confess him as your Lord and Savior,
and all these benefits will be yours. That's beautiful, right? Only life
doesn't work that way. Something is missing. The cross. Not Jesus'.
The version of Jesus as power-broker for you ignores the claim
by him, repeated in each of the first three books of the New Testament, that to
follow him means taking up our own cross. Nothing there about personal
benefits to discipleship. Nothing there about putting your hand in the
hand of God's Son and everything will come up roses. Only the summons to a
larger life than you ever imagined, one in which the cross is shouldered, the
strong serve the weak, little children (the most vulnerable of the vulnerable)
are loved and protected, making peace tops the international agenda, and doing
all sorts of self-giving deeds intentionally that give Ayn Rand and Friedrich Nietzsche
What cheap hope for Christ's blessings ignores is the cross of
self-denial. Not my words, Jesus'.
Some people get it, Jesus' idea of costly hope clearly in the
shadow of the cross. Like the medical professionals from this country who
brave the threat of ebola as they respond to the need in West Africa. Like
the late mayor of Boston, Tom Menino, never hankering for higher office, a
public servant who continued his compassionate and persistent governing style
despite the ravages of cancer. Like my buddy Austin who in the throes of
his last illness refused to capitulate to self-pity, continuing to consider
himself (in the words of someone else he surely admired) "the luckiest guy in
the world." They are people who understand the old Sunday School phrase,
"No cross, no crown." Like Nelson Mandela, whose achievement in South
Africa - the reconciliation of forces seemingly dedicated to destroying each
other, peace accomplished by making forgiveness a national policy - shines
brighter and brighter in a world where tribal hatreds remain the rule; and
Mandela did it with most of his lifetime in jail. Like my own mother, a
parentless immigrant to these shores at nine years of age and never went to school thereafter,
who dreamed that a child of hers would go to college; and she housed and fed
roomers during the Depression to make it so: her stigmata were knuckles rubbed
raw from washing my socks.
I would encourage Joel and Creflo and John (Hagee), and anyone
else occupying the podium in a grand auditoria to acquaint themselves
with my pantheon of heroes for whom hope in the saving power of Jesus Christ was
confirmed by shouldering, not avoiding, the cross.
So... my dear, dear liturgist, before you invite me to pray
with you, please lay aside the promises of cheap hope; keep your eyes on the
cross; and hold in your heart a far larger vision of life and faith than "what's
in it for me."

Benjamin Wagner came to visit us from New York. He's currently on a "walk-a-bout" before his new career starts. He's from Iowa originally and is an interesting guy to follow. He's done some cool projects in both music and video. Jason Walsmith (The Nadas) and Brandon Stone (The Nadas) were there to round out the band with Jon Locker on bass. Ended up being a fun, low key day of making music.
These boys are in working with Luke, Micah, Logan, probably Matt, Sometimes Brandon…and probably more. They'll have been in for 12 days and nights working. Stuff sounds good. These guys are on Saddle Creek.
Damon was in again today. You can see it's already starting to "pay off" He's counting his dollars from his "other job". Kidding, kidding. This record is coming along nicely.
You'd think Tony was writing lyrics or important notes…nope…food order.
Damon Dotson is back in and back at it. Tony was doing some drums. Matt is in on the project now too. He's engineering and in general steering the production ship.
Girls Rock was in today. Two groups laid down a handful of songs. Camp includes instrument instruction, band formation, collaborative songwriting, and participation in various workshops such as Music Herstory, Empowering Girls, Music Art, Performance, and more. The Camp culminates in a showcase performance at a live venue, attended by hundreds of adoring fans.
Josh Davis was in doing some drums and bass for his next project. Russ was in drumming and Jon was in bassin. This is a Brandon and Micah project. Mitch was in helping with setup and line check. Long day of clicks here.
These guys were in recording for a couple days. Cool tunes and
sounds. Working with Brandon and the gang. More to come for these guys. They did a couple days of the whole band and now are getting guitar tones.
These guys are in from Iowa City. They are here for 5 days or so. Even sleeping in the studio! They are really exploring the studio space. These first days are mostly getting drum and bass parts. Then the overdub process will begin.
Logan and Scott are in recording Max Jury for a few days. This young, up and coming songwriter has some exciting things happening in his career. What's super fun is he did his first demo, a long time ago, with Tony when we first opened.
Meanwhile…Mitch is getting last nights Gaslamp Live recording of Randy Burk and the Prisoners imported.
It was delightfully 1955 in here for a couple days. I can't wait to put up an example of this project. Sounds super cool. It sounds black and white if I had to describe it. It was a bunch of humans in a room. The highest track count on any song is 7. Old school.
Josh Davis was in working with Brandon and Micah on his new solo record. He's using some different players than in the past to try and get a different result. Sam Mogerman was in playing drums on this tune and Jon Locker was playing bass. This project is just getting started.
The North Shores brought their punk-a-billyish sound to the studio this weekend. There were some fun sounds and times had by all. 6 songs in 3 days. Still need one little loose ends day, but it's all sounding super cool. Loud and rockin'.
There were gang vocals, organ, piano, guitars, drums, and some tape!
Two nights of live recordings. Friday night was Marcato at Wooly's here in Des Moines, then Saturday was at Gaslamp with James Biehn Band and Brother Trucker. Great crowds both nights. That's what makes a sweet live recording, well that and playing well. For $150 (most venues) we come hook up to the house sound and you get up to 24 tracks of recording. More bands on the bill? Get them involved you guys split the $150. That $150 covers the tracking of the show only. After that either you mix it or have someone that will or we find a price that works for you and we mix it for you. These have proven to be pretty fun.

The Bank for International Settlements has concluded its report into the systemic risks of foreign exchange transactions
BASEL – The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has released a report on the progress made in reducing the systemic risks on foreign exchange (FX) settlement caused by central banks' large exposures to counterparties, overnight settlement times, inadequate controls and poor understanding of the risks involved.
The report says there has been a great reduction in all these risk areas – touting in particular the founding and growth of CLS Bank, which now settles $3 trillion a day in FX payment obligations a day. The Bank says, however, that many FX settlements still harbour systemic risks and additional action is necessary.
The document is the result of a strategy launched by the G-10 central banks in 1996 after it was found that systemic risk controls in all these areas were lacking. A consultation period was launched in July 2007.
