St. Patrick's Church, 1956
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 08-16
I was thrilled to receive an email from a colleague who is involved with the St. John Chrysostom Russian Orthodox Church. This is a relatively new parish, which was founded in 2008. The partner church of St. Patrick's, the Anglican St. Paul's, offered the parish a home in their restored little church but the St. John's parish kept growing and has outgrown the little church. The very good news is that the Catholic diocese has given the members of St. John's permission to rehabilitate the church and use it for an extended period. This is very good news. They have been in contact with the Historic Places Research and Designation Program and are very keen to get to work on restoring the church.
St. Patrick's was the cause of much despair in the heritage community. It has been neglected for many years and was at very high risk of falling into "demolition by neglect" or of being burned down by vandals. The little church had the dubious distinction of being on Canada's 10 most endangered buildings list in 2008 in spite of the fact that it had been designated a provincial historic resource. There were many heroic efforts made to do something to save the building, which had been the parish of Father Lacombe from 1909 (or 1906 in some accounts) until his death in 1916. As recently as March, concerns were being raised about the future of the building (see our previous posting at https://calgarypubliclibrary.com/blogs/community-heritage-and-family-history?m=201103&p=815)
With the news from the Russian Orthodox community we can all breathe a little easier. If you are interested in finding our more about this project, you can contact the parish at (403) 257-4899 with your questions or to offer your support. There is also a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14452251805&v=wall) and a YouTube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C071VJJPAD8) with more pictures and information.

Alberta's Historic Places Stewardship Program has a new blog. It is called RETROactive: Blogging Alberta's Historic Places and covers all the activities of the Historic Places Program including the research and designation program, the Alberta Main Street program, the conservation advisory program and the geographical names program, among others. These are the folks who evaluate and designate sites for historic significance. Their blog can help us understand the process of evaluation, answer questions about conservation and make us aware of some very neat places in our province. It's a great blog for anyone interested in history, owners of historic properties, and explorers of this great province of ours. Some recent postings have been about three new historic designations, (McDonald Stopping House in Smoky Lake County, the Red Brick School in Didsbury and the West Canadian Collieries site in Crowsnest) including information about their significance to Alberta History, an entry about place names in Alberta, and an article about the village of Holden. Of course, because this is a blog, you can post your own stories about the sites they cover, or add your comments to the discussion of heritage in the province. They also have a link to their photographs (and they are quite beautiful) on Flickr so you can see what some of these places look like.
You can visit this blog at http://albertashistoricplaces.wordpress.com/ and sign up for an email subscription or click on the link to their Facebook page and follow them that way. However you do it, this is a valuable resource for people who have an interest in Alberta's history.

I was delighted to read that the City of Calgary won honourable mention for the Prince of Wales Prize for Municipal Heritage Leadership at the Heritage Canada Foundation conference in St. John's on Saturday October 2. According to the Heritage Canada Foundation: For the second time since the inception of the Prince of Wales Prize, the jury made a unanimous decision to award an Honourable Mention to the City of Calgary, where efforts to develop policies and plans that favour the conservation of the city's built heritage have been ongoing for 30 years. This is quite an honour for a city as young as Calgary and that, in decades past, has had lovers of old buildings tearing their hair out. We have come a long way.
The City was nominated by the Calgary Heritage Initiative to acknowledge the progress has been made including the passage and ongoing implementation of the Calgary Heritage Strategy. Congratulations in particular to the City of Calgary's heritage staff, and to City Council for its growing support of heritage. Keep up the good work!
And if you're interested in just how this honour was achieved, come down to the Central Library for our program Heritage Matters: Historic Preservation the Cowboy Way. On Friday October 22 at 5:30 pm, the City of Calgary's Senior Heritage Planner, Darryl Cariou, will give a talk about heritage preservation in Calgary including some of the successes, some of the failures and some of the ongoing and unique challenges facing those involved in the business of evaluating and protecting Calgary's built heritage. You can register for the program online at calgarypubliclibrary.com (click on programs), in person at your local branch or by telephone at 403-260-2620.

High River CPR Station, 1963
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection AJ 78 19
In a sad and ironic twist of fate, while we were celebrating Historic Calgary week, a much valued and beloved historic site was suffering. The Museum of the Highwood, in High River, was damaged by a fire which started in the early hours of Wednesday July 28. Thankfully, the fire was contained to the roof and attic of the structure. The collections were damaged slightly by smoke and water but archival material and photographs, stored in a vault, were unaffected. Members of the museum and archives community in Alberta pitched in with residents of High River to give their time and expertise to rescuing the collections.
The Museum is housed in the old High River train station which has a connection to Calgary. In order to build the Palliser Hotel, the two existing station buildings which comprised what was the third Calgary CPR station would need to be removed. In order to do that a new station was built and the two smaller sandstone buildings dismantled. One would provide the material for the station at Claresholm and the other for the new station at High River. Interestingly, both stations are now being used as museums.
We are lucky to have photographs of the two train stations while they were still in use as stations. These photos are from the Alison Jackson collection and date from the late 1950s or early 1960s. Alison was correct in her assessment that these buildings might one day be under threat of demolition.

Railway stations were being demolished in startling numbers as passenger train traffic declined. The efforts by the communities of High River and Claresholm have preserved an important piece of the history of the railroad in Western Canada. In far too manyplaces, the old stations were lost.

For readers interested in the history of the building (and demolition) of stations across Canada, there is a great book in our BSSS collection called The train doesn't stop here anymore: an illustrated history of railway stations in Canada by Ron Brown We also have a great collection of books relating to the railway and its role in the west in our Community Heritage and Family History collection here at the Central Library. One of my favourites is a description of the workings of the Calgary Depot by Ross Taylor, who worked there for many years. The book is called Through these doors: a look at the workings of the Canadian Pacific Railroad Calgary Depot, 1940-1966. It is a wonderful collection of memories, photographs and drawings that give a behind-the-scenes look at life in the Calgary station.
In addition to the books, we have a great collection of photographs and postcards in the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library, accessible on the left hand side of this page. You can use the search terms "railway" and "railroad" and "train" to find hundreds of railway related pictures. Have a look. And remember, if you are a railway buff, or if your family, like mine, came out to work on the railway in the west, we have lots of very interesting stuff here. Drop in and see us sometime.
I am delighted to tell you that the Community Heritage and Family History blog has won a Lion Award in the category of Advocacy and Awareness. This means a lot to me and my colleagues because it lets us know that, first, you are reading us and second, that our postings are helping to promote a knowledge and appreciation for the heritage of this beautiful city.
The Lion Awards are given out every two years by the Calgary Heritage Authority to recognize citizens and groups who have endeavored to support heritage conservation in Calgary in any capacity. The Advocacy and Awareness Award, in particular, is given to people or groups who advocate or promote the preservation of a heritage site or who work to increase public awareness of heritage issues. We are very proud to have been chosen for this award. Thank you to the Calgary Heritage Authority and thank you to everyone who follows us on this blog. Also, thanks to our colleagues in the heritage community. We have been warmly welcomed by all the people we encounter at the various heritage events in the city and we get some of our best ideas from them. There is an impressive community of people working to preserve our heritage – many of whom work behind the scenes and get little recognition. So, thanks to you. Without you there would be no heritage to write about.
We had a great time at the awards ceremony. The keynote speaker, Reid Henry, director of Calgary Arts Development , spoke about the Artscape Wychwood Barns in Toronto which was an inspiring look at the reclamation and revitalization of the historic Wychwood streetcar repair barns. It gave me hope that similar solutions could be found for some of the heritage industrial sites in our city. Have a look at the Wychwood site:
After the awards we were given a tour of the Water Centre building architect Leslie Beale. The Water Centre is one of those buildings that will endure, becoming a heritage structure in time. It is quite an astonishing achievement. It is a LEED gold building that is both people and environmentally friendly (not to mention, architecturally stunning) and we very much enjoyed our tour. After the tour we were able to mingle with authors, advocates, architects and others involved in heritage preservation and restoration in this city.
The Lions are named for the iconic Centre Street Bridge lions, one of which graces the front entrance to the Municipal Building. I thought I would include a couple of photographs of one of the lions from when it was living on the Centre Street Bridge. This photo is from the Alison Jackson Photograph Collection which is housed here at the Central Library and is accessible through our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library (see the link at the left)
So, thank you all for your support and "Yahoo!"

I have been fortunate to be involved with the Calgary Heritage Round Table, an umbrella group for organizations and individuals passionate about Calgary and its heritage. The enthusiasm and growing attendance at meetings such as these shows the increasing interest in heritage issues in Calgary. I see this interest too, not just in "old" buildings but a desire to capture and preserve the stories of its people reflected on a daily basis here at Calgary Public Library through the customers who visit our Community Heritage and Family History collection.
Are you one of these impassioned individuals concerned about Calgary's heritage or do you know of an outstanding person or organization who is making a difference? Here's an opportunity to support heritage conservation by recognizing citizens and groups who have undertaken initiatives, of any scale in Calgary. The Calgary Lion Awards, is your chance to recognize them publicly. As it says on the Lion Awards website " Historic preservation is part of good city building and community identity. Historic resources serve to enhance our perspective, understanding and awareness of our past and help us build a sense of identity and pride in our local communities." Show your pride in taking the time to nominate outstanding individuals or groups. Awards will be given in the following areas: Building Restoration, New Building Design, Community Revitalization, Landscape, Advocacy and Awareness, and Heritage Trades People/Craft People.
For more information, go to the City of Calgary website http://calgary.ca/lionawards The nomination deadline is Wednesday May 28. 2010 and the awards will be presented July 28, 2010 at The Water Centre, 625 25 Ave S.E.

A couple of months ago I went to a Heritage Roundtable where the City of Calgary Heritage Planners talked about a new website they were launching. It was called "Discover Historic Calgary" and it contains a whack of information about the built heritage of the city of Calgary. I was very excited to see this website because we here in the Community Heritage and Family History section of the Calgary Public Library always knew what kind of information the Heritage Planners were collecting about the buildings in the city but access to this information was a little complicated. Now it is available on a website for all interested Calgarians to see. It is well worth a visit. It includes information about buildings on the "Inventory of Evaluated Historic Resources" and includes information such as location, history, significance and even historic and contemporary photographs. It also includes an explanation of the Historic Resource Evaluation System.
You can search for historic buildings by keyword, by address, or by development era. The advanced search allows you to search by use, architectural style, use or community. The "Help" link provides a really good overview of what the searches entail. This is another great resource that researchers interested in the history of Calgary can use in conjunction with our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library. You can access Discover Historic Calgary at http://content.calgary.ca/CCA/City+Hall/Business+Units/Development+and+Building+Approvals+and+Land+Use+Planning+and+Policy/Land+Use+Planning/Heritage+Planning/Discover+Historic+Calgary/Discover+Historic+Calgary.htm
Grave of George McDougall
Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 1458
The City of Calgary is thinking about offering a new way of burying our dead. With Queen's Park Cemetery rapidly running out of space, the City is planning for a new cemetery in the city's southeast. As part of that burial ground they would like to offer a natural burial ground where graves would be dug by hand, bodies would be buried unembalmed and in biodegradable caskets and the land left to go back to its natural state. There would be no grave markers and anyone wishing to find a burial site would be given a GPS unit and the grave co-ordinates. This idea has kicked up a bit of controversy and lead to a bit of trepidation on the part of genealogists everywhere.
Genealogists love to find records and what is more solid and permanent than a grave marker? Genealogical societies the world over dedicate massive amounts of time and energy to transcribing markers. We have a very large collection of southern Alberta cemetery transcriptions in our Community Heritage and Family History collection here at Calgary Public Library. (If you're curious, you can find them in the catalogue by typing "cemetery" in the search box and choosing "subject" from the drop-down menu). These are invaluable resources for people seeking their ancestors. But many of the transcriptions also include burial records so that those buried without markers or whose markers have disappeared can also be listed.
There are also, believe it or not, walking tour guides to cemeteries. To some this may sound ghoulish, but in reality, it is an excellent way to get to know the people and history of a place. By touring the graves, with a human guide or a guide book, you get a very personal view of who and what made a city or town what it is. A great one for Calgary is Calgary's historic Union Cemetery: a walking guide by the inimitable Harry Sanders. Using the graves of Calgarians, both rich and poor, as a starting point, Harry examines every aspect of Calgary's history.
Calgary's Historic Union Cementery by Harry M. Sanders
So, this new way of burying may have unintended effects, but it is an intriguing proposition. It may affect the way we do genealogy, but then, even stone grave markers don't last forever. The plot where my earliest ancestors in Canada were laid to rest is a parking lot now. If your people were buried in a potter's field, they were in an unmarked grave and all that exists is a record of burial. The same would be true if your ancestors were cremated and not placed in a columbarium. I think choice in these matters is a good thing. We are a diverse city and burial customs are very personal and tied to the culture and history of our families. The city's proposition seems to allow for choice, and, personally, I think I might like to be the granny they had to find with a GPS.
I am intrigued by the history of the Banff area. It was and is a very special place and we are privileged to live so close to Canada's first National Park. Anthony Henday had visited the area in 1754 and David Thompson had explored the Bow Valley but it was the fall of 1883 when three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains that the Banff we know now was born.
The people responsible for the park and the town within it were the wardens. A warden was a jack-of-all-trades and his position involved long hours and a wide variety of duties. Walter Peyto was one of those wardens. He served from 1914 to 1948 and as part of his duties he was required to keep a journal of his activities. His grandson David Peyto has edited and published four volumes of these journals which he has called Banff Town Warden. They offer a fascinating glimpse into the activities of the men who fought fires, controlled nuisance animals, feed the zoo animals , maintained the telephone lines, controlled predators, and looked for lost hikers, among other duties. What must have been Walter's most memorable duty had to have been the eleven days spent in a freight car with two buffalo bound for the Toronto Zoo. The life of a warden was not a boring one.

I had looked all over for oats that were both gluten free and organic. So glad to have found these! We've been using them for over a year now in our house. They are perfect in every way.
Posted by Susan Miller on 3rd Jul 2014
I love this oatmeal! I have my own recipe and I like it chewy. It never has tasted old as they do from the grocery store - and of course those have gluten.
My recipe for anyone who wants to try it:
1/2 cup of oats
3/4 cup water
dribble of organic orange extract
pinch of Himalayan pink salt
small amount of stevia powder
1/4 cup organic dry roasted, no salt pistachios
1/4 cup dried organic cranberries
Cover and cook 2 minutes in microwave.
Add a dab of butter if you wish.

Finally a gluten free oat that is organic. It is delicious and healthy. I've made refrigerator oatmeal (google it), my own GF granola, and of course oatmeal.

12 Foods All Nutritionists Eat
Even the experts can't come to a consensus on the best diet tips to follow. (Eat like a caveman! Fast two days a week! No fruit! Only fruit!) But these are the picks every dietitian stashes in her kitchen for energy, health, and a great-looking bod.

Water with lemon
"A lot of my dietitian friends start their day by drinking water with lemon, and it's my morning ritual as well. Unless you're eating mostly whole, plant-based foods, the pH balance in your digestive system is probably on the acidic side. Lemons can have an alkalizing effect that helps bring the body back to an ideal balance, which is important for overall health. Plus, downing a big glass of water right after you wake up is a great way to get your digestive system moving." Carolyn Brown

New York Puppet Library
When I came across this page descriping puppet lending librariesone in Boston and another one in New York I thought it had to be a joke. Especially given the New York puppet library's location: inside a memorial arch. But apparently these are real. A google search brings up quite a few articles about the New York puppet library, including this one from Time Out New York Kids:
A different kind of lending library makes its home in Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza Arch. A small flock of birds occupies the fourth-floor landing inside the Grand Army Plaza Arch. One flight below, a grinning cat keeps watch over the spiral staircase. Walk down, and you'll see a swarm of insects and four sweet-faced ponies. There are usually eight ponies, but four are out on loan. Welcome to the New York Puppet Library.It's nice to know there's a place to go if you ever need to borrow a puppet.

The new MS Mondraker team: welcome Danny Hart, Emmeline Ragot, Markus Pekoll and Innes Graham
"Dear friends, sponsors and interested public,
It got a bit quiet around the MS Mondraker Team since the big success in 2012, where the team was competing for the top spot in the UCI worldcup team ranking. For sure we had some good results, but we were missing the big victories we had in the past.
We run our team because we are race driven and hungry for victories, but we needed to set back for reorientation after the leaving of the two top team riders. We knew where we wanted to be, but we had to wait till our stars align for building our new line up.
We are happy to announce that worldchampion of 2011 Danny Hart will join our program and we welcome back worldchampion of 2009 and 2011 Emmeline Ragot, who was one of the main reasons for our success in 2012. Both will join our long-term member Markus Pekoll and our rookie Innes Graham.
Markus Stoeckl: "2012 was our best year, the team was fighting to get the top spot in the world cup team ranking and our riders developed impressively. After 2012 we had to let 2 of our riders and friends go, we focused on supporting Markus and Damien and started to look for new riders to built a new and fresh team which would be able to be on the top of the ranking again.
Now after years of talks and negotiations we are happy to welcome Danny Hart and all team members are looking forward to work with Emmeline again, she is a guaranty for great races and lots of fun while traveling and in the pits."
The main focus of the team will be the 2015 UCI mtb worldcup as well as the 2015 UCI MTB world championships in Andorra. Furthermore we are going to attend selected races of the BDS series and the European IXS cup series.
The whole team will compete on the new Summum CARBON with the support of Marzocchi suspension- the further sponsor lineup will be released soon.
Visit our website for the latest news, videos and pictures of the team- just click on the image to see our team presentation video.
Stay tuned for more news and follow us on our facebook fanpage."

Green Woodpeckers continue to
do well at Tatton as the parkland habitat is ideal for them. At
least four pairs have nested this year including a pair at the Old
Hall )where the picture opposite showing a fledgling was taken)
They are often seen on the ground feeding on ants, their
specially adapted long sticky tongue aids extraction from the ant
hills. Other interesting species seen recently include a Red Kite
over the mansion and an Osprey attempting to dive for fish above
Melchett Mere. The Egyptian Geese that have been resident all year,
often seen on the R.H.S. site, were joined by a family of two
adults and eight flying juveniles in August.
The South Lancashire Bat
Group are continuing with their survey work. They have
found a roost containing over thirty Noctules in Boathouse
Wood. Even more interestingly, they have found a roost near to
Melchett Mere which is used both by Noctules and Daubentons.
They have also done some dawn surveys which resulted in the
spectacular sight of over one hundred and fifty Soprano
Pipistrelles returning to roost in the Old Hall.
Millennium Wood was a newly
established plantation on ground which was previously open grazed
parkland. Erecting a perimiter fence was necessary to permanently
protect the growing trees, shrubs and ground flora from Deer
and Sheep.
We have attempted to introduce some
wild flowers in the more open glades with varying
degrees of success and have plans to expand on this in time with
woodland specific species, particular to the woodland types
represented in original the plan. This and other extensive tree
work could not have been achieved without our valued Millennium
volunteer group. In addition to this work however, we have had one
or two pleasant surprises since planting in 2000. The first was the
appearance of a small but welcome group of Broad-leaved
Helleborine. This plant is quite common throughout the UK and can
be found dotted around some of the more remote woodland in Tatton,
but all some distance from Millennium Wood Whilst it is possible
that seed has found its way here, we wonder if these plants are
survivors from a long gone former woodland on this site, and have
survived on vegetative growth, being unable to produce a flowering
stem until now due to grazing.
More recently an even more interesting
species has come to light. Initially, we thought we had a colony of
seedling Lords-and-ladies, but as the weeks passed and they failed
to grow any larger, upon closer inspection we found to our delight
that we had a six square metre colony of Adder's-tongue
Fern. This is a nationally scarce plant. It appears
between June and August, spending the rest of the year underground
dormant. It is considered a good indicator species of ancient
meadows and can be found on woodland edges and rides.
Autumn is a special time in the life cycle of
Tatton's deer herds as it is when the annual rut
takes place. Males battle over both territory and females ensuring
the strongest genes are passed on for the benefit of the herd
in the future. Various interesting aspects of behaviour
can be seen during the rut. Wallowing takes place in muddy pools
that the deer scrape out with their hooves, sometimes urinating in
them before covering their coats in mud. Antlers will be adorned
with grass. Both of these activities are to make the animal appear
more intimidating. The males call to warn away rivals and to
attract females. The Red Deer have a long drawn out bellowing call
while the Fallow Deer have a rasping, snorting call. Fallow Deer
can also be seen 'parallel ' walking, this is where rivals walk
alongside each other 'weighing each other up'
If all else fails, and as a last option,
fighting will begin. Antlers are locked together in what is
basically a pushing match to determine which is the stronger
animal. Fatalities do occur but are thankfully rare.

AMD released video of sending the Kaveri mobile part up to the edge of space by balloon. Sadly they did not overclock it up there.
To celebrate the introduction of its new 2014 AMD Performance Mobile APUs designed for ultrathin and high-performance mobile PCs, AMD launched its all-new enthusiast-class Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) for notebooks (formerly codenamed "Kaveri") to the edge of space, symbolically expanding the physical environment of mobile computing in parallel to how AMD expanded the performance envelope of mobile computing through its new APU design. The new mobile APUs mark the debut of Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) features and Mantle gaming support for mobile devices, establishing these APUs as AMD's most advanced mobile computing technology to-date.
Moosburg, Germany, near Munich, was the lift-off site for a 2 meter wide AMD-branded, helium-filled balloon containing a new AMD A-Series APU for notebooks, which reached the heights of 36,240 meters (118,900 feet) before floating gently back to earth 1hour and 47 minutes later. The balloon also included a payload container equipped with HD cameras and an advanced GPS system, to capture images and video of the journey from the APU's perspective and track the balloon's location.
New AMD Embedded G-Series processors selected by HP and Advantech for thin client and industrial solutions
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Computex 6/4/2014

Videocardz has rumored specs for the Radeon R9 M295X. Its code named Tonga, and should come in mobile and desktop variants due to a lower power envelope.
Tonga is not only a mobile chip. Actually, the first time we heard about Tonga was about desktop graphics card. It's no secret now, that a new model will be added by AMD very soon. Since Tonga has worse specs than Tahiti (at least on paper), we assume it won't be using R9 280 series nomenclature. Instead, it should land somewhere in-between Curacao R9 270X and Pitcairn-based R9 280. Radeon R9 275X sounds reasonable.
Yesterday Dice patched Battlefield 4 with about a 500mb patch on the PC that included amongst other things Mantle multi GPU improvements. We tested at Game Republik last night for a few rounds, but that focused on the new High Frequency Network update. Certainly those settings seem helpful in close quarters combat. Multi GPU Mantle improvements of course means Crossfire frame pacing issues. It also has to be asked if it will help out on 4K displays that split panels to reach that resolution. I would expect it does.
• Improved/reduced explosion induced camera shake
• Character collision improvements
• Fix to reduce object damage mismatch between client/server.
• Fix explosion packs not being able to be shot sometimes
• Improvements for client side packet loss
• Client crash fixes
• AMD Mantle multi-GPU improvements
• Carrier Assault game mode reports bug fix
• High Frequency Network update
- Added High frequency "bubble" updating player movement, stance, rotation, damage and projectiles at a separate rate on foot and in vehicles
- Added option to control client side update rate setting

Forbes talks about Watch Dogs, and how close work between the developer and Nvidia may mean bad news for Radeon owners.
"Gameworks represents a clear and present threat to gamers by deliberately crippling performance on AMD products (40% of the market) to widen the margin in favor of NVIDIA products," Hallock told me in an email conversation over the weekend. But wait, it stands to reason that AMD would be miffed over a competitor having the edge when it comes to graphical fidelity and features, right? Hallock explains that the core problem is deeper: "Participation in the Gameworks program often precludes the developer from accepting AMD suggestions that would improve performance directly in the game code—the most desirable form of optimization."

Add personality to your drinkware with this DIY coffee mug.
The holidays are a popular time to stop and thank teachers and all of the wonderful staff at school for all they do.
For this holiday season, instead of buying rolls and rolls of gift wrapping paper, try recycling things that you already have at home to decorate those gifts. As a paper crafter, we all have tons of pretty papers and embellishments at home already. So why not pull out our crafting supplies and make some recycled paper look gift wrap worthy?
For a simple, yet pretty gift, use recycled old newspaper to cover your entire box. Then punch a couple of shapes from patterned papers and layer them over a paper doily. As a finishing touch, tie a piece of yarn or twine around the box.
If you are looking for fancy, yet simple look, first wrap your gift with some brown paper grocery bags.
Cut the handles and bottom off the bag, and use it to cover your gift box. Then to jazz it up a bit, add some glitter. I used regular white liquid glue here, and added tiny dots to form a grid.
Cover the adhesive with glitter, and it instantly adds a pop to the paper.
Top it off with a sentiment and some embroidery floss in a bright color for a shiny look!
If you need to decorate lots of boxes quickly, try this idea. Punch lots of scallops or circles from some old newspaper. You can easily punch four to five sheets of newspaper at once. Then machine stitch these shapes to form a long garland. Wrap this garland around the box two or three times for a pretty shabby chic look!

text: We bought a scottish terrier pup and were told she is about 5 months old. She has a full set of adult teeth, weighs 11 1/2 lbs. they told us she is 5 months old an put that on the AKC papers. They also said she was a better pick because she has a long body and would be less likely to have a ceascerian section when we breed her. She seems very frightened but they said she was so laid back at the time of our purchase because she is female. We took her to a vet within the 72 hour period required. She was very constipated and required xrays. She cost an $130 in addition to her purchase price of $600. They also said since she was a puppy she had been on a variety of dog foods and I need not worry about changing dog food. These people are members of a breeding club. Please help.

November 26, 2014
Melissa Dotter stopped by Sunrise 7 Friday morning to talk about the 8th Annual National Prescription Drug Take Back Day set for April 26.
The Marathon County Medication Drop Box Program and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) teamed up for the Saturday, April 26, event.
People can drop off prescription drugs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the following locations in Marathon County:
Rothschild Police Department: 211 Grand Ave, Rothschild
Kronenwetter Police Department: 1582 Kronenwetter Dr, Mosinee
Wausau Police Department: 515 Grand Ave, Wausau
Colby-Abbotsford Police Department: 112 W Spruce St, Abbotsford
The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications.
For residents who cannot make it on April 26, they are invited to visit any of the five permanent medication drop box locations in Marathon County:
Rothschild and Kronenwetter Police Departments: Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Everest Metro, Wausau and Colby-Abbotsford Police Departments: Monday-Friday during business hours.
Since January 2010, the Marathon County Drop Box Program has successfully collected more than 5 tons of medications for environmentally-sound disposal.

I have 7.5 gallon bucket that I've been using for making 5 gallon batches of beer (it came in a homebrew kit). I just bought a 6 gallon wine kit and made it. I mixed six gallons with the wine as par directions, and it tasted nice and thick (like a wine!). When I topped it off in my bucket like the directions said to do (3 inches from the top) the wine got diluted with an extra gallon. Do I need to top of this wine? Or will not topping it off really oxdize it?
During the initial fermentation some headspace is okay since you have yeast and to a lesser degree escaping co2 to scrub the oxygen out of the wine. It is when aging that you really want to eliminate any possible contact with oxygen because the wine no longer has that same protection.
What you should do is purchase a carboy, in your case 6 gallon, to rack into once your initial fermentation is complete.
Also, when topping up it is usually best to use the same grape juice that the wine is made from, or second best, some of last year's vintage of the same wine, or third best, any other of your wines that are very close in composition and quality, or fourth best, a reasonable close relation in wine, and only as a last resort would you use water to top up.
So could I use a low-quality wine? Or let's say I have a lot of left over shiraz. Would/could I just throw that in a Merlot and hope for the best? If not, would two cheap jug wines suffice?
You don't want to top up until after fermentation is finished. I'm not sure from what you said if the wine is finished or not.
If it's finished, you don't want to leave it in a bucket, topped up or not. The reason is that the bucket is very wide, and even topped up, the headspace is far too much. You want to rack the beer to a carboy, so that you have only about an inch (right where the mouth is) of headspace.
okay, so the wine was finished and i bottled it a week after i moved it into the bucket and topped it off (it still tastes amazing so I got lucky). Can I degass it after fermentation and just bottle it immediatly?
Like Yooper said, you top off the wine in the carboy. This topping process usually requires about a quart of liquid and most wine kits are made a little "thick" to allow the addition of a quart of extra water during the topping process. An extra gallon of water is far too diluted and I don't know that there's really any way to fix it now.

We were all super excited when Lena Dunham's first Vogue cover landed last week. The editorial spread, which was shot by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz features the 27-year-old star trussed up in everything from a Prada embellished silk strapless dress to an Alexander McQueen high-collar feather dress. She also sports a Céline wrap coat and a Dolce & Gabbana cotton cap-sleeved dress, but every piece is accessorised with dollops of that edgy attitude.
'...starring the lovely @lenadunham Hope you like it' - Ariel Shulman / Instagram
Those of you left wondering how the awkward star and creator of hit HBO show Girls succeeded in getting her model on for her Vogue debut need trouble yourselves no further. Yesterday Lena introduced a "behind-the-scenes" video directed by her friends Henry Joost and Ariel Shulman, which premiered on the Vogue US website. The tongue in cheek promo portrays the cover girl the night before she steps in fron of the lens for Leibovitz.
'Short film by my beloved brothers @relsonmandela @hurricanejoost' - Lena Dunham / Instagram
Lena is seen applying lipstick and wearing a pair of silky pajamas before calling up Vogue's International Editor-at-Large Hamish Bowles for some advice. She says, "Can you talk right now. I'm feeling a little bit nervous about tomorrow. The cover shoot is tomorrow and I don't know how to pose." Luckily Bowles pops round and show Lena how it's done, using a little inspiration from some of the famous faces who have previously graced the pages of the fashion bible.
'Rehearsing with the one and only Hamish Bowles' - Henry Joost / Instagram
He tells her, "We're going to look back at the legends and we're going to find you a pose." Then the pair embark on a series of movements recreating images of supermodels including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Giselle Bundchen, Edie Campbell and Veruschka von Lehndorff. Their efforts quickly become a dance, showing off Hamish's flair for the theatrical and Lena's unwillingness to take herself too seriously - despite being a Vogue cover star now, daaahling!

Spanish monarchy's popularity hits new low
When Dutch Queen Beatrix, also 75, announced in January that she would abdicate and pass the crown to her eldest son, some wanted the same thing to happen in Spain.
But experts say the monarchies in the two countries are completely different. The Netherlands has a history of abdications for reasons of age, while in Spain it has been extremely rare.
Urdangarin is a former professional and Olympic handball medalist and the deals he landed were for things such as organizing seminars on using sports as a lure for tourism. Once presented to his countrymen as the perfect husband, Urdangarin has now become one of Spain's most detested figures.
A year after he first gave testimony, Urdangarin will return to a tribunal in Palma de Mallorca to answer more questions from investigating magistrate Jose Castro. Urdangarin hasn't been formally charged, but all indications point to a long and drawn-out trial that will keep suspicions of royal extravagance swirling.
The royal family has responded by barring him from official functions and pulling his profile from the monarchy's website. When both Urdangarin and his brother-in-law Prince Felipe attended the final of the world handball championship, which Spain hosted and won, they didn't even look at each other.
"He's been ostracized and separated from the royal family," said Burns Maranon. He said it will be a blow for the royal family if he's jailed but "even worse if he got off scot-free."
Meanwhile, the case is getting closer and closer to Princess Cristina, with her personal secretary, Carlos Garcia Revenga, set to make statements before the magistrate on Saturday.
Garcia Revenga hasn't been formally accused. The royal family has used this as an argument to keep him in his post as it waits for justice to take its course. But the question that arises is whether or not Princess Cristina knew about her husband's alleged activities.
"I don't see why Princess Cristina would be accused of anything," said Urdangarin's lawyer, Pascual Vives. "Her situation is radically different from those facing accusations."
Ironically, Urdangarin and his wife have the title of the Duke and Duchess of Palma, the same city investigating the case. Responding to popular revulsion, city hall said it removed the street name "Duques de Palma" - one of the municipality's most central thoroughfares - because of the "less-than-exemplary behavior toward the title."
It's only a symbol, but it reflects the loss of reputation the monarchy is suffering at an especially difficult time for Spaniards.
Associated Press writer Harold Heckle contributed to this report.

Craziest, but good thing you've ever eaten.
I'm sure we have a pretty sophisticated and daring palette in chowhound. What have you eaten that would people go either "what?!" or "ew~" or some other strong reaction...but actually tasted pretty good? I grew up eating bird's nest soup, sea cucumber sashimi (slimy), octopus sashimi (the tentacles stick to your mouth), etc.
I think the craziest thing I tried was fried grasshopper---without batter, of course---in a rural town in Korea that was actually pretty good (if you ignored the fact that it still looked like insect).
Pretend that you're Anthony Bourdain in the show No Reservation if that helps you. :)
The craziest thing I've probably ever eaten is sea urchin roe. It was an interesting experience. It went from being the most disgusting thing, to being incredible....and the taste didn't leave my mouth for a long time. My brother is a fisherman in Alaska and I spent six months up there one time, I also ate the roe out of a salmon just a few minutes after it came out of the water.
re: afoodieslife
I love love love sea urchin roe (although it's not really roe but the sea urchin's organs...did you know that?) If they weren't so expensive I'd eat it all the time. Salmon roe is too fishy for me though. It has interesting texture but the inside the roe is a little too oily perhaps (or maybe it wasn't fresh enough).
re: baekster
I didn't know that about sea urchin roe. Very interesting. It was probably over ten years ago since I had that experience with the salmon roe so I don't remember exactly.
Strangest chow you've eaten?-

What's The Most Exotic Food You've Ever Eaten????
What's the most recent "new" food item you tried?
What's the strangest, or best, food you have eaten at a State Fair, stadium, or other outdoor venue?
re: Silverjay
:) Thanks.
re: Spencer
Yeah, jellyfish is a texture thing -- it usually gets most of its flavor from whatever they've marinated it in or dressed it in (usually some sesame oil). No one orders it as an "entree" -- it's a side dish.
re: Ruth Lafler
I had jellyfish too at a wedding banqet for Chinese friends. Good! (I agree, it had a faint sesame oil flavor -- but subtle).
Probably raw artichoke heart salad. It doesn't sound that weird, but if you have ever experienced the horrible bitter flavor of raw artichoke sap, you really can't imagine it being palatable. But it was, shaved very very fine.
re: peanuttree
Ha! There's something wrong with the wiring in my brain. I actually enjoy the smell of durian, but I find the taste to be disgusting.
re: peanuttree
How is frog legs prepared in thai? I've had it in French (and yes, I love Escargo!)
re: pslopian
I think I used to eat them (and yes, fight over it with my cousins) in Korea when I was young. I don't remember them tasting that delicious...very neutral tasting...
re: hrhboo
what is codfish "milt"?
re: peanuttree
"Shirako" is the sperm sac of a cod (as opposed to the roe). It's often topped with a small dollop of grated ginger and slices of green onion. It's not unusual to have it served in a simple broth topped with the ginger and onion as an amuse bouche at fine Japanese restaurants... I'm not sure how "crazy" an item this is....
re: Silverjay
Fish sperm sounds pretty crazy to me! The craziest thing I ever ate was fried grasshoppers but I think the sperm is crazier.
re: LAfoodfiend
The "crazy" part was that it tasted so good when I wasn't expecting it to. It was plain, no broth or ginger or anything, just plain old fish sperm.
I've had those grasshoppers too and they were okay but the texture got to me after a while. The ones I had weren't fried enough for my liking and were more chewy than crunchy. I wouldn't eat those particular ones again.
re: chowmeow
Yea...stinky tofu was a bit too much for me. I didn't like it at all. God it smells like sewage, don't you think? Maybe I need to revisit the item and get used to it although I don't know if I ever will. Chicken hearts is good...especially when you're coming home at 4 am from clubbing or late night drinking and it's the only thing available...
Well, it was weird for me.
I did enjoy it though. I had it from a booth at the Highland Games in Waukesha, Wisconsin a few weeks ago. I'm betting that it was only remotely like Haggis would be in Scotland, and nobody shouted a Robbie Burns poems at it before serving. But I look forward to trying it again.
re: Fydeaux
Was there whiskey sauce on the side? Gotta have the whiskey sauce to make it worthwhile.
re: MsDiPesto
Nothing served on the side, I'm afraid. But I was told that there was Drambouie in the recipe.
Depends on the crowd I'm telling but Lambs Testicals recently in Paris and loved them, and of course fabulous bone marrow (usually freaks out a few). I ate things that I didn't know until after the meal what it was - I'm ok with that. Goat liver was another - great. I'd prefer to know after my taste buds.
Okay, UGH on the grasshopper and the octopus sashimi!!!! Whoa. I'm impressed, tho. I had rabbit kidney and tiny little rabbit ribs at Tom Keller's Per Se. Quite good. Now, on the other hand, I had beef tongue carpaccio (also at Per Se) and didn't care for it at all... ew. I can still feel those little, rough taste buds (shiver).
