Not sure but I'm making myself a whole category of salads for future reference so post away. Our hostess usually serves chicken in sauce. (she's not very adventurous) but everything is solidly always good. :) |
Here are a couple that are sure fire hits for me. If none of them will work for this particular event, maybe Woodies Layered Salad would be the answer. Enjoy!

I love salad and we eat salad with dinner at least 5 times a week. I don't have a recipe for the salad itself but I like variety so I throw in some combination of the following, depending on what I have in stock. Lettuce (this can be iceberg, romain, etc. or I use spring mix) Whatever fresh veggies I have in the house, whatever fresh veggies look good and are reasonably priced at the grocery store. And of course, tomatoes. In addition, I like to throw in chopped apples, pears. raisins or dried cherries. My go-to E-Z salad dressing is a mixture of fresh lime or lemon juice, oil and salt. From Linda (doucanoe) I adapted this lovely dressing recipe which she posted with a pear salad. I also have a feta cheese dressing at home that I can post tonight. It's creamy wonderful. |
I would make an assortment of greens...mesculun is always good, ior Romain and spinach and bibb... Then make baggies of "stuff" to take along and either toss in or plate each salad and put the embellishments on top. Among enbellishments I like are: skinny rings of sweet onion, skinny slices of red pepper, hard boiled egg slices, skinny julienne pieces of cheese, swiss, gruyere, edam... Calamata olives...without the pit and I like dry bread cubes for crutons...less greasy, or split pita's sprayed with an oliveoil cooking spray and sprinkled with seasoned salt. On that I would put a vinaigrette dressing...here's one of my favorites. 2 T dijon mustard 2 T honey 2 cloves crushed garlic Whisk together and add 1/4 cup white wine vinegar 1 T balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil. Another favorite is an assortment of greens as above, skinny slices of sweet onion, thin slices of half an apple cored and blue cheese dressing'Here's my favorite. 2 oz. Maytag blue cheese IMHO....leafy salads are all about the dressing and a few artfull add ins...add ins can be all sorts of stuff...canned or cooked beans, olives, fruit bits, nuts, bits of other veggies, unusual croutons, I have used broken up bagel chips and pretzels, tortillas and fishy crackers. I'll paste a couple of more dressings from my file while I am pasting!! Sesame Dressing 1/2 cup corn syrup Fran Lozano's zesty blue dressing |
Alexa, that's my dressing...I'm glad you love it. I make it all the time. I also make a killer 1000 Island...but that is pretty old fashioned, so I won't post unless someone wants it. Nancy |
Wish I liked salads more than I do I find them especially difficult this time of year. However this one is a great "winter salad" and always a pleaser. Susan's Salad and Dressing 2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar Toss just before serving with mixed baby greens, diced red pepper, diced red onion, toasted almond slices and dried cranberries. Top with crumbed feta. |
- Posted by claire_de_luna (My Page) on Fri, Feb 11, 11 at 17:30
Nancy, I want your salad dressing please! 1000 Island is one of my favorites, and I'd love a home-made version. |
Yes! Post, Nancy, Post!! 1000 is my DH's favorite and I usually just wing it. I'd love a T&T recipe. The Balsamic Dressing from lexculinara is my favorite! Balsamic Salad Dressing 1 cup olive oil (or parmesan infused olive oil) Posted by Diana55 (cooking forum) Deanna |
Another here who loves salads but just wing it usually. Many times we just use oil/vinegar. I'm copying & pasting lots of dressings here...thanks from me also. We try to incorporate nuts/seeds into our diet daily & since we eat frequent salads I usually sprinkle a few raw sunflower seeds, pepitas, or slivered almonds on top just before serving. Sometimes, even raw peanuts depending on WFD. /tricia |
- Posted by loves2cook4six (My Page) on Fri, Feb 11, 11 at 18:51
Loving these. Thanks. You know, I never thought it was the add-ins taht made a salad but now I am coming to realise it is. Clipping like crazy. Keep them coming. |
I can vouch for that Greek Country Salad, it's wonderful. That same recipe is in one of my WW cookbooks and I make it all the time. Here is the rest of the pear salad recipe that May mentioned. It's from someone here but I have no idea who. I got it from the Salad Cookbook that Sherry put together years and years ago! Party Pear Salad 4 c. mixed greens Dressing: For dressing, combine vinegar and sugar; whisk oil into mixture and add salt and pepper. Set aside. Wash and thinly slice pears, leaving skin on. Place into dressing mixture to retain color until ready to serve. Add craisins to soften. Place 1 cup of lettuce on each plate, top with dressing and fruit mixture, sprinkle with nuts. Along the same lines but deliciously different. From a friend of mine I used to work with. Bev�s Winter Salad I large head romaine lettuce Toss salad ingredients together. Dressing: 1/2 c sugar Mix dressing ingredients together, toss with salad just before serving. Strawberry Spinach Salad with Poppyseed Dressing Dressing: 1 c sugar Combine sugar and vinegar and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add remaining ingredients and chill well. Serve over baby spinach leaves and sliced strawberries. Garnish with brie cheese wedges. Linda |
My 1000 Island recipe is part of a recipe for a Crab Louie Salad which I also love, especially when I do a dinner for guests. Sometimes I don't add the whipped cream and I have used ketchup instead of the chili sauce but prefer the chili sauce. Crab Louie Salad Fun served in a stemmed glass. Build the crab Louie in stemmed glasses with lettuce, crabmeat, cucumber, tomato and green onion. Top with Thousand Island dressing, dust with paprika, add chives and serve as a salad course for an elegant dinner party or serve in a large bowl for a luncheon. Thousand Island Dressing 1 cup mayonnaise Mix ingredients together, cover and chill for flavors to develop. Nancy |
Here is one I make sometimes. It would be difficult to bring to another's house, but for future reference - it is a salmon-grapefruit-salmon skin salad with grapefruit vinagrette. The leaf is usually baby spinach. I like to cut them as follows: stack 10 or so leaves, roll them into a cylinder, and slice the cylinder cross-wise (imagine slicing a salami), producing lots of uniform curly strips. It is pretty and eatable. I think this would be called a julienne cut, but am not sure. Sounds like a lot of work, but each person only needs two or three ''stacks''. Prepare the grapefruit segments. Ideally, use pink grapefruit. It is important to have no membrane or bitter white skin on the segments. Slice them using the method shown here: http://foodperson.com/2008/12/15/grapefruit-sections-without-membranes/ Arrange the spinach on individual serving plates, and hold the grapefruit segments and dressing ready. Now prepare the salmon. For the salmon, you want a very fresh filet with the skin. Place on cutting board, skin down, and using a long slicer held flat/parallel to the board, cut off the skin in one piece. 1/8'' of flesh can be left on the skin, if there is more then cut/scrape it off. Pat the skin dry with paper towels, dust with flour or cornstarch, sprinkle both sides with salt, and set aside. Turn the filet over, cut off the darker strip of flesh along the centerline of the filet - discard or feed to cats (My cat hangs out in the kitchen when I cook.) Cut the filet cross-wise into 1 1/2'' wide sections. Rub with oil and sprinkle with salt. Choose a cast iron pan that is big enough to fit the skin, and heat to very hot. A non-stick pan will work, not as well. Melt a pat of butter. Place the salmon pieces in the pan and cook on highest heat, without moving or flipping the pieces, until just the bottom 1/4'' of the piece is cooked - has turned light/white color - maybe 1 or 2 minutes. Remove the pieces to a warm plate, cooked side up. Hopefully the cooked side is a bit brown and crusty, that's why we use butter and a very hot cast iron pan. If not, you can use a propane torch to help it achieve brown-ness, but don't return the salmon to the pan - you do not want it to be any more cooked. It should be mostly raw with one cooked side. Reduce heat to medium-high, coat the pan with about 1 tspp of oil or 1 pat of butter, place the salmon skin in the pan with the skin side down. Take a pot which is slightly smaller in diameter than the pan, oil the bottom of the pot, and place the pot on top of the skin, to press and hold it flat. Cook the skin for 2 minutes, remove the pot, lift a corner of the skin to check. You want the skin crisp and golden brown, which will probably require another 1-2 minutes of cooking. Do not use the pot again, the skin will stay flat. When the skin is crisp and slightly browned, turn it over and cook for a minute to cook any flesh on the other side. Remove skin, pat off residual oil with paper towels. Place skin on a dry cutting board and cut into thin batons, about 2'' long and no more than 1/4'' wide. Finally, assemble the salad. Place grapefruit segments on the spinach. Lightly dress the salad. Place the salmon pieces on top. Sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper. Garnish with batons of crisp salmon skin. Serve promptly. The skin will start to lose its crispness in about 10 minutes. It is also good made with blood oranges. |
When I make a tossed salad with greens, my "secret ingredient" is chopped celery leaves. You'd be surprised how they perk up the flavor. This is my favorite winter salad. It goes with just about anything. LEMON SPINACH SALAD 1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms Wash mushrooms and combine with spinach. Chill. Mix oil, lemon juice, salt, cheese and garlic. Chop up egg and sprinkle over salad. Add lemon rind to salad and grind pepper on top. Pour dressing over salad right before serving and toss. Note: Best if dressing is made about an hour ahead of time and garlic pieces removed before pouring on salad. Crumbled bacon pieces can be added if desired. |

Thanks everyone Last night I was inspired to make a salad. I mixed Spring greens with butter lettuce, added sliced cucumber and sprinkled over chopped spiced almonds, cranberries and mandarin oranges. I made a very simple vinaigrette with First Fruit Hoji Olive oil (2 parts) and Blueberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar (1 Part). Tossed it all together. OMG! It was delicious. Still trying to decide which of the great looking ones posted here to try next week. |
Err, sorry, that cut (of the baby spinach) is called a ''chiffonade''. Just came to me, must be getting senile. |

This is a wonderful, light salad that my family requests whenever we are having a gathering for a meal. Lettuce with Oranges and Grapes 1 head leaf lettuce 2 TB chopped parsley, as garnish Dressing: Wash lettuce and spin dry; tear into bite size pieces. Combine lettuce, grapes, orange sections, onions, avocado if using, half of the almonds in a large serving bowl. Combine dressing ingredients in a bowl; whisk well to blend; pour some of dressing on salad and toss well. Pour on more dressing if needed (I never use all the dressing). Sprinkle with parsley and rest of almonds. Serve right away. Makes 8-10 servings. Another good salad: Harriet's Sensational Salad 2 heads lettuce, leaf, red, romaine 1 cup romano cheese, grated Dressing: Mix dressing ingredients well. Tear lettuce into bite size pieces. Sprinkle parsley onto lettuce in a big serving bowl. Pour dressing over lettuce and toss to coat well. Sprinkle with the cheeses. Toss again. Grind fresh pepper over the salad. Serve right away. (does not keep well overnight) serves 10 |
Loads of good ideas here for you, my 2 cents is to leave nuts or seeds on the side for others to sprinkle in at will, or at just ask if anyone has a problem before adding them at the time of serving. (spoken as someone who wouldn't be able to eat the salad if the were included). My DH loves a tossed salad if it has avocado and feta cheese as part of the mix. I often add shelled edamame, Persian cukes, red cabbage slices and HIS favorite, bibb lettuce. If I have time, ingredients and the inclination, I may throw in minced or shaved carrot, marinated chopped artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. |
Here's the feta dressing I just made for the first time recently. It was delicious! Creamy Feta Vinaigrette 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup) In a food processor, pulse the crumbled feta with the red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, S&P and olive oil until the vinaigrette is smooth. |
Some great sounding recieps here. Another one I jsut throw together is a riff on a bottled greek olive salad dressing I used to get once in a while. My store doesn't carry it any longer, so now I make my own. 8 oz container Greek Yogurt Blend the yogurt, onion and feta in a food processor, add the olives and pulse until they are combined, but you can see flecks of black. Chill for an hour. |

My favorite quickie yummy salad is: Pregnancy Salad |
Cathy - not sure why your salad is called "Pregnancy Salad" but I'm pretty sure someone who is pregnant shouldn't be eating Gorgonzola unless it is pasturized. "Avoid unpasteurized foods Unless these soft cheeses are clearly labeled as being made with pasteurized milk, don't eat: â– Brie |

Ok Cathy. Share! Why IS that salad called Pregnancy salad. Am I going to get pregnant if I eat it? |

If you feel like deviating from a greens based salad you may consider one called Mimi's Cornbread Salad. I took this to a friends for Thanksgiving and it was great. We really loved it. Also it makes a really good quantity so is excellent for a crowd. Not what you asked for I know but if not this time perhaps another occasion. Hope this helps. Putting a link to my thread on the topic from last year. Kate |

Here's a bleu cheese recipe I just copied out of a cookbook. I have NOT tried it yet but it sounds pretty good. Bleu Cheese Dressing 1/4 cup red wine vinegar Whisk together the vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, garlic, s&p. Mash in the cheese. Whisk in the oil to form a thick dressing. Makes about 1 cup. |
Oh, boy, do I hear you. For some reason, I've never been good at salads. I hear people talking about how much they enjoy chopping up the vegetables -- not me! Ruthanna, I'm going to try that lemon spinach salad. It sounds great. Here is the salad that changed my life, salad-wise. It's delicious, a little special, and unlike any other leafy salad I can think of, the leftovers keep nicely. I love to eat it with breakfast, too. I got it from Betty Rosbottom's "For the Gourmet" column in the Columbus Dispatch a couple of years ago and we have eaten it many times since. I even started growing kale, we like it so much! KALE SALAD WITH PINE NUTS AND GOLDEN RAISINS 2 tablespoons olive oil Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, syrup, mustard, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper in a nonreactive bowl. (The dressing can be prepared 1 day ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature 30 minutes before using.) Remove and discard the tough stems and center veins from the kale leaves. Then cut the leaves crosswise into 1/2 inch-wide strips to yield 6 cups well-packed kale. (I often just chop up the leaves rather than worry about pretty strips; it's a LOT quicker.) Place the dressing in a salad bowl and whisk well. Add the kale and toss to coat greens thoroughly with dressing. Divide salad evenly and mound on 4 salad plates. Garnish each serving with raisins and pine nuts. (I like to serve it in a big bowl instead of on individual plates, so I just put the raisins and nuts on top and eventually it all gets tossed together.) |
I don't believe I have ever followed a recipe for a salad, dressing yes. Some of these dressings sound delicious and we love Kale so I will try the Kale salad for sure. |
This pasta salad is a favorite in our home. Sometimes this is all we eat on a quick night. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 cups) Ingredients |
RE: Pregnancy Salad-I'm sorry that I copied and pasted without editing the title, I usually share it with a different title. I saw it years ago when I worked in Studio City. Legend has it that the salad induced labor. I make it frequently because it's easy and tasty. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pregnancy Salad Legend
Thanks to everyone for some tempting salad recipes. I didn't have kale on hand but couldn't wait to try gellchom's recipe with the pine nuts and raisins so made it with slivered raw spinach leaves instead. DH scraped the bottom of the bowl to get every last bit of it. It's a winner! |
I'm glad you all liked it as much as we do, ruthanna. It's my fave. I bet you'll like it even better with kale; it has a little pepperiness to it that kicks it up a notch and goes perfectly with the maple-mustard-red pepper-lemon dressing. I just use a whole bunch from the store, which I think is more than the recipe calls for. Who ever thought that I would be good at SALAD, of all things -- it's always what I told people to bring when they offered, because I knew I was no good at it. Not anymore. You're never too old to get your confidence at something new! |
- Posted by loves2cook4six (My Page) on Mon, Feb 14, 11 at 14:03
We love, love, love Kale. I will definitely be trying that recipe and in the meantime you all have givien me some wonderful suggestions. Maybe like gelchom, I will be good at salad too. |
- Posted by claire_de_luna (My Page) on Mon, Feb 14, 11 at 14:20
Thanks L2c46, for asking the question! There are some amazing salads posted here which I'll be more than happy to try. Thanks too, to Nancy for your 1000 Island dressing recipe! |
The salmon skin grapefruit salad I mentioned: I found out tonight that deep-frying the skin works well too. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/CT/MIL - Senate backs military custody for terror suspects

WASHINGTON | Thu Dec 1, 2011 4:57pm EST
(Reuters) - The Senate on Thursday voted in favor of a requirement that
captured terrorism suspects, including those detained in the United
States, be held in military custody.
The proposed legislation mandates that suspected members of al Qaeda and
other militant groups be detained by the U.S. military instead of the U.S.
criminal court system. American citizens, however, are exempted from the
mandatory military detention requirement.
The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 55-45 to reject an attempt by
Senator Dianne Feinstein to limit the military custody requirement to
suspects captured outside the United States.
The detainee provisions, which are opposed by the Obama administration,
are part of a defense bill that is expected to pass the Senate on Thursday
or Friday. The House of Representatives has passed similar legislation.
Once differences in the legislation are worked out, the bill will be sent
to President Barack Obama, who has threatened to veto it.
The debate is part of a long battle between Obama, a Democrat, and some
lawmakers over whether terror suspects should be prosecuted as "enemy
combatants" before military commissions, or as criminal suspects in
federal courts.
The Obama administration has sought to prosecute terror suspects in
civilian as well as military courts.
Republicans and some Democrats have urged that only military courts be
used, and Congress repeatedly has voted to limit transfers of detainees
from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and FBI director Robert Mueller, as well as
intelligence officials, have written to Congress to express their
opposition to mandatory military custody for terrorism suspects.
The legislation contains waiver provisions giving the executive branch the
right to place a prisoner in the U.S. criminal court system if it is in
the interest of national security.
Law enforcement officials, including Mueller, have argued that this
procedure is too awkward, noting the waiver has to come from the U.S.
defense secretary in consultation with the secretary of state and the
director of national intelligence, presumably while an investigation is
Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, argued against
the proposed strictures on handling of terror suspects, noting that
ordinary criminal courts had produced lengthy sentences for convicted
terror suspects.
"I just had a hard time, knowing, why if it's not broke, we need to fix
it," she said.
But Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte warned al Qaeda might send others to
attack the United States if it thought that suspects captured on U.S. soil
would not go into military custody.
"In our country we need the authority in the first instance to hold those
individuals in military custody," she said.
Otherwise, "we're laying out a welcome mat, to say, that if you make it to
America, you won't be held in military custody," Ayotte said.
Jeh Johnson, Defense Department general counsel, said on Thursday the
detainee provisions would actually hinder the pursuit of terrorism
"Al Qaeda is a more decentralized organization than it was 10 years ago
and that the threat will continue to evolve in ways that we can't entirely
anticipate ... we urge our friends in Congress to not take away our
counterterrorism options," Johnson said at an American Bar Association

Libra Woman and Aquarius Man Compatibility
Famous Libra-Aquarius Couples: Kelly Preston and John Travolta, Eleanor Roosevelt and John Travolta, Carole Lombard and Clark Gable, Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: no one can control an Aquarius man but a Libra woman. Both are air signs with a somewhat detached view of life that is complementary. But the real reason a Libra woman can manipulate an Aquarius man is because there is a conservative side to Aquarius, a la Ronald Reagan. Saturn was the sign's ancient ruler. An Aquarius man can be very attracted to a Libra woman because she can be an asset to his career and social standing. He may be painfully aware of his lack of social skills and he knows a Libra woman will come in very handy.
How to Attract a Libra Woman as an Aquarius Man: Don't come on too strong — or too weak. The symbol for Libra is the scales. They like the middle ground. You should be neither too cold, nor too ardent; neither too fast nor too slow; neither too trendy nor too old-fashioned. If this sounds too hard, get out now. The fact is that you attract a Libra into your life to become better balanced, and it's probably worth it to try and rise to the occasion. If you veer a little bit too far in one direction and then correct, she will be very understanding. It's not as hard as it seems to win her heart.
How to Attract an Aquarius Man as a Libra Woman: Libra has the reputation of being a superficial romantic, and while there is some truth to that, many Libra women are astute politicians, great strategists, and natural business partners. This is the side that you should put forward if you're interested in attracting Mr. Intellectual. Many Aquarians, delightful as they are, get stuck in outer space and need someone to play Loop-de-Loop with them. In other words, it's your job to connect the dots in the social world so he has some way of relating to others. This means that you need to be tolerant of his dating skills, rudimentary though they may be. Some Aquarians may not be the most polished, but they are not game players, and if he's interested in you at all, you should probably feel quite honored.
Degree of Romance: I'm sure the Aquarians aren't even reading this section, so I'll address Ms. Libra directly: You can train your Aquarius man quite easily. He is very amenable to suggestion and does not object to specific commands for your pleasure. In other words, if you have thought things over — as you are wont to do — and you have decided that a pearl necklace is what you would like for Christmas, and that it is within the realm of possibilities for him to buy you one, go ahead and suggest it. You might even mention a specific one that you saw in XXX store. Surprisingly enough, he will be grateful for this information, and probably run right out and do it. That's as much romance as you'll get.
Degree of Passion: Aquarians can be surprisingly passionate, precisely because they make a point of being so dispassionate. You will find this amusing, Libra, because of the power it gives you over him. Use that power wisely because of the tendency that you have to create immediate payback karma.
Degree of Friendship: These two can be absolutely best friends. There is a graciousness and mutual respect between them that is very special. Long after other couples have settled into familiarity and even civility, these two will be extending lovely courtesies to one another as far into the future as you can see. Libra really brings out the gentleman in the Aquarian and Aquarius has found a lady worthy of his affection, which he does not give freely. A large part of the plus side of their friendship is that they understand each other's need for space.
Degree of Marriage: This is an excellent choice for marriage. Both parties are logical, level-headed, and able to submit. They share a common viewpoint and are likely to enjoy the same general lifestyle. Libra is always willing to compromise, and Aquarius extends a lot of freedom in the partnership. They score high in conflict-resolution skills, which is an essential ingredient in a good long-term relationship. Aquarius encourages Libra not to keep score or hold grudges, which is also a plus.
Progression of Relationship: Things progress logically between the two air signs. Since both need space, they are not likely to see each other more than once a week to begin with. The courtship will be courteous and respectful. The relationship is likely to move forward in mutually agreed upon increments with minimal friction. Libra discourages the kind of stalking behavior that Aquarians are capable of. Things go smoothly and logically toward a conclusion that is mutually agreeable.
Sex: Sex is an important part of a relationship between these two, but equally important are lifestyle choices, viewpoints, and common goals. This makes for a balanced relationship that enhances the sexuality between them. Furthermore, they are likely to agree on how often they have sex, thereby minimizing the negotiating that some couples endure. Libra is famous for the accoutrements of love. For example, she may introduce the Kama Sutra, for which he will be very grateful because he'll try anything once. The beginning and ending of their love making is likely to be as polite and mannerly as the other areas of their life together, each being very solicitous of the other's well-being.
When It's Over: Aquarius has the upper hand when it comes to the relationship as a whole. He will not be inclined to end something once he has submitted to it. Aquarius is fixed sign and these men seldom stray. However, if he gets a "higher calling," like a pat on the shoulder from his ruler, Uranus, he will out the door like greased lightning never to be enveloped again. No one knows for sure what comes over an Aquarian, but you know they do march to a distant drummer. Like it or not, when the dance is over, it's time to go home. Libra may talk him into staying around for a little while longer, but it won't last. This is one man who will give an ex-partner everything just to be free.

My aquaman is five years older than me butm iles higher in terms of intelligence. I am a libra woman working as pre-school teacher. So we were together for a year and a half. And yes he's most attentive though sometimes it does feel like Im an insect under a lens being watched. Aquaman is a genius and fabulous person. Or at least thats what I think and maybe Im a little biased cause it always sound good to say you dated a genius. He can come up with thoughtful ideas that no one else can think of and do it. But if theres something you didnt get about him or what hes doing dont expect any information from him. He explains himself to no one: he doesnot find it necessary. And so he maintains that veil pf secresy and mystery. He thinks big and his brushstrokes are on a big canvas. The connection was powerfully mentally and intellectual and he will hopd to make a relationship connection by the sheer power, magnitude and force of his mental connection with you. Alas matters of the heart are not resolved that way. Not even for him much as he may think so. It is so easy to open my heart. But the strange part is neither he nor I wanted to meet the other desperately. He didnt want to meet me and kept putting it off for some nebulous reason or none at all. I, on my part never wanted to surprise him -I found no joy in doing it but just doing it for the sake of doing it. So there it is. There's something instinctive in both of us I guess, that told us not to to get together because it may not lead to sweeter shores?…. After all circumstantial stuff is circumstantial and direct is ….. well thats my experience with an aquaman. I wanted to return to school for my Ph.D. and had to go out of state for that. so we just …lost touch with each other. So much for the aquarius water bearer. Did anyone else find them so puzzling and unwilling to do or let go?
Good decision bye
i can see this happening. Libra woman's charm and grace can be a big benefit for the Aquarius man, unless he sees right through her. Usually, those with virgo and pisces influence will love the libra, and even the Aries, to some extent.
although i have seen so many with virgo influences hate the libra, it must be the polarity.
libra woman just wants to be taken care of, she is after all, VENUS, and needs to Lead = strategist.
Aquarius and Libra both are airy sign but Aquarius is fix and Libra is cardinal. Both are naturally attracted to each other – maybe at first sight. Both can realize that there is a physical chemistry working between them. There are very few chances of disharmony between them. However Aries and Aries Zodiac Compatibility every relationship requires some adjustments and here also Libran woman is suggested to avoid dominance over her Aquarian partner. He never shows off and loves to keep the serenity. But one day his patience may die down. Here the Aquarian man is suggested to appreciate her and praise her from time to time as it boosts her smile and can make her day. She is a very sensitive person and it may disturb you as you may think her over reacting at times when she receives a criticism or hurtful words from anyone.
I'm a Libra woman and have been with a fair share of aquarius men and I personally think they're extremely selfish and rude. I've never met one and clicked.
I must say I have been "interacting" with an Aquarius guy@ work. As a Libra woman, I pick up things quickly and easily. This guy tends to be aloof and does not fancy talking much. I have seen were he will talk more on certain topics and when he gets "into" you. He is very polite, pleasant and intelligent. Definitely not a social bee. He enjoys my company and I can tell. Actions speak louder than words. He will hint at a point without saying it directly. In other words, he is not one to verbally express how he feels but you will know based on his actions … cute. He can be moody though which Libra understands since we will know when to back off and give you space. He is mysterious as well. Seems like a challenge and I like that ..I see him as an experiment…in a good way….there is so much to learn about him and I find myself growing with curiosity as it relates to him.
i totally agree with gab! Boy did she hit the nail on the head….aquaris men are extremely selfish and rude!!!
@LovingLibra from an aquarian POV I think he's trying to analyze his feelings for you. Aquas especially males tend to do that a lot. Being overwhelmed with emotions is so not comfy for an Aqua. I mean sure he's smart and stuff but Aquas are not so fast in knowing their true feelings. But honey if you think he's a keeper a LOT of patience would be required from you, so just hang in there. Once he sees that you're the only one for him and hopefully commits, you will be sure as hell that he's yours and yours alone(even if he's still aloof). So good luck!
yeah looking at all the aqua men ive seen over the years I more that likely think hes got to take time to commit if ever. libra woman is good at weighing and weighing options too.

in need of a complicated installation
Posted 17 August 2011 - 12:29 PM
my problem is the house to my south has a lot of HUGE trees, and i did find an opening about 20 feet wide, 10 feet high between them.. maybe a little higher, but its not enough for the 5lnb installation, and the guy was too lazy to actually climb a ladder to be sure, so it looks like im just going to have to install it myself
is it correct that i need to access those 5 satellites for complete programming?... i found that i can get a three LNB setup to access satellites 99, 101, and 103 which i believe i could hit all three with a single dish... would these require a wide HD dish or could i use these with an 18 inch dish?
if that works, for the other two (110 and 119) i can get a dual lnb setup to hit both of those, but im not entirely sure i can reach those two from a single dish, i may actually have to bring in a third dish.. one to hit 99-101-103, one for 110, and one for 119..
has anyone ever installed a setup this complicated? if so, what had to be done? can i use the 18 inch dish i already have for the 99-101-103, or will i need an HD dish for that and an 18 inch dish for the others? also, whats the least expensive route i can go for a dish capable of touching 110 or 119 by itself?
ill take a photo of the area later and post it here so you guys can see the area im talking about... and thanks in advance for any help

Adding a second [or third dish] will end up being way too complicated, so I'd suggest skipping it. What you'll miss are some music channels and maybe your local SD channels if they come off the 119 SAT.
Posted 17 August 2011 - 12:49 PM
Typically, DirecTV won't allow a 3LNB installation (99,101,103) in a market where SD locals are on 119, so it would be a do-it-yourself installation. If this is going to be a new account, you might have a problem doing that though (typically a new account requires an installer to do it).
Posted 17 August 2011 - 01:08 PM
Posted 17 August 2011 - 01:17 PM
You would probably be better off in the long run just trimming some trees back if you're that dead set on getting DIRECTV.
Posted 17 August 2011 - 01:49 PM
i looked at lyngsat and apparently my standard definition locals are in fact on 119

Posted 17 August 2011 - 04:19 PM
Go to www.dishpointer.com and use their site to help determine your line of site. Check for the three orbital slots (99, 101 and 103).
Keep in mind, if those trees continue to grow, you could find an opening that exists today could be gone next summer. Often times a no-LOS refusal is as much due to the fact that you would lose LOS before your 2 year initial commitment is complete even if you had it to start with. Installers have some margin requirements for LOS before they can do the installation.
Posted 17 August 2011 - 05:15 PM
1) If you are in a market with LIL SD, the programming guide may come off of 119. (This is changing and may no longer be the case for your market).
2) That in the eastern half of the US, that the arc descends downward from the 99 to the 119 (opposite for those in the western half).
So if the clearing between the trees allows LOS for 99-101-103, then 110 and especially 119 are significantly lower in the sky, and simply trimming the tree(s) to the right probably won't provide LOS. If the clearing allowed LOS to 119, then clearing the top of the tree to the left might be possible.
I haven't tried the dishpointer app for handhelds but others' feedback seems to indicate that it is pretty accurate... you might want to invest in it before you start drilling holes in your roof.

well, directv practically begged me to get a second opinion so ill have someone next week not afraid to go on the roof, and the big tree in the front might be leaving soon since its half dead already
I'm not afraid to get on your roof. However, I'm also not permitted by the company I work for to get on the roof. So with my handy dandy inclinometer I can probably tell from the ground that you don't have a line of sight off of your roof. I have no reason to waste my time climbing on the roof if I've made up my mind I don't want to do your install. If I drill holes in your roof and six months later you don't have line of sight, guess who that's coming back on? It's not worth 80$ to me to have to pay out 200$ in repairs for your roof just because you want Directv. Are you going to tip me after I spend three times as long on your install as I would a similar job at a different location?
Good luck with your multiple dish set up.

There are arguments for and against that type of compensation system. An obvious disadvantage is they will find ways to not do a difficult or complicated (time consuming) job.
Posted 17 August 2011 - 11:14 PM
Unfortunately, installers are not paid by the hour, but by how many receivers are installed. They are not paid for travel time to/from jobs, etc. The longer they spend on a job, the fewer jobs they can do in a day, and the less they get paid.
There are arguments for and against that type of compensation system. An obvious disadvantage is they will find ways to not do a difficult or complicated (time consuming) job.
PLUS...after a few times working for this one company I found myself getting the same......"damn, you are as bad as the other guy they sent yesterday...why can't they send someone who knows what they are doing...?
You are in a dark deep forest with NO chance for a LOS. The company sent a second opinion guy (me). When it was obvious I just phoned it in...and eventually stopped working for the company.
Posted 18 August 2011 - 06:36 AM
for that matter, why couldnt they install an HD 3LNB dish for 99, 101, and 103, then another dish for 110 and 119 if they absolutely needed those hooked up? theyre not even high definition so the second dish could just be a regular 18" dish... or two simpler, cheaper ones that can only tune into a single dish at once?... it just seems to me that something like that would be worth the 2 year commitment they require
anyway, besides that i seriously doubt theres any way this is going to work... its impossible to get over these trees as they are more than twice the height of the house... they are MASSIVE.. however, the one tree is dying, and is actually splitting in half and does have power lines weaving between it... so the power company might actually remove it soon... that tree WILL come down on its own soon if they do not
Posted 18 August 2011 - 07:50 AM
DirecTV would need to built a special LNB assembly for this and the market simply isn't large enough for it.for that matter, why couldnt they install an HD 3LNB dish for 99, 101, and 103, then another dish for 110 and 119 if they absolutely needed those hooked up? theyre not even high definition so the second dish could just be a regular 18" dish... or two simpler, cheaper ones that can only tune into a single dish at once?

I'm sure it has to do with the market size, and not the location.Why would DirecTV put east coast (the OP is from PA) locals on 119? No LOS to 119 from the east coast is common.
The largest DMAs are on 101, and then DirecTV added 119 for more markets.
For the smallest, they used 72.5, but have moved those off 72.5 and to the MPEG-4 SATs.
The OP's problem isn't elevation, but trees anyway.

We are in the process of building kitchen cabinets. Planning on inset cabinet doors/drawers with concealed hinges using a face frame.
From what I read we will need a special clip for the drawer slides (accuride) and a special adaptation "thingy" from Blum for the door hinges. Advice? Any potential problems we should anticipate? Also, we have an arch designed in the toe-kick. Should we cut it with the jig saw (which we already have) or should my husband get a band-saw? (Oh, goody another tool justified) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Inset doors, eh? I just did these (x16), and it was a chore. If you're doing these for your own benefit, I'd still say go for it. If you're doing it for resale, my sense is that most people don't know what they're looking at. I don't know about the door hinge adaptor, as I went with a more traditional hinge, but the drawers can also be done by shimming out from the wall of the cabinet. My drawer bank simply has two sticks per side catching the front and back of the drawer glides. (Which is much easier than placing stock parallel to the drawer glides, incidentally. That does mean that your drawer boxes have to be dead on same.) I'm always supportive of new tools, but I'd be cutting the arch with a router on a long pivot. Or a jigsaw with a belt sander for cleanup. (P-C makes a beautiful little belt sander!) Good luck! |
For the arches, I'd make templates from 1/4" masonite (cut with jigsaw, refine with file), tack them to the stock, cut away most of the waste with the jigsaw and finish with a flush-trimming router bit. |

Euro style hinges for inset doors in face frames mount to the back of the face frame; makes them the hardest type of euro hinge to install, and you'll be making the adjustments blind. Not to mention the fact that they intrude into the storage space of the cabinet, can be in the way of pullout shelves. Personally, I'd avoid that hinge. I'm afraid of new things. Casey |
Use a template and router to cut the arches. A spiral cut router bit will minimize tear-out. Any time you have new hardware there is a learning curve. I always get the hardware before I assemble the cabinets if it is something I haven't worked with before. It's so much easier to have the parts in hand when designing something new. |

Thanks guys for all your good suggestions. This is our home, not for resale. We are the end of a long process (1 1/2 years) of a kitchen/dining room addition, 450 sq feet, we have done everything ourselves. Hopefully I'll be posting some finished photos over on the kitchen site by Christmas. Thanks, Dian |

room and especially large bathroom, overall hotel condition
it's not in the middle of the strip
They tried to charge us for the same thing 3 times.
Design, cleanliness, shopping, quality of food.
Got in late (9:30) was not seated for dinner because the restaurant was closing at 10:00. Circled around several times before we had to eat at the Cafe. Couldn't find anyone to advise us in the hullabaloo. Would have appreciated more direction of when restaurants close an dhow fat we needed to get there. A minor irritation after 5 hours on the road.Charging for Wi-fi?Hmm.
If you even remove something from the fridge and put it back without consuming it they charge you for it! So you cannot store anything in the fridge. And if you want to,nthen they charge 25 dollars a day just to give you another fridge to use!
I like everything about Wynn it is the best hotel in vegas
The rooms are really nice and very spacious. The resort is beautiful. We could have just stayed at the resort for the whole trip and skipped the rest of the strip. No other hotel even came close to the Wynn!
We love the beds and the rooms and the TV in the bathroom
We didn't like the wait at the Vallet to get our car, and even non smoking room smelled like smoke
The breakfast price doubled during Christmas Holidays
Wonderful experience. Wonderful resort.
The bed sheets were a little scratchy.
Location Staff Facilities Choice of dining options
Location Comfort Restaurant varieties Staff
In-room internet is expensive
i liked the location and the nice lobby
room decoration is outdated room service was super expensive and nothing special no one helped me with my bag checking in.. reception was not as helpful cable tv was not working i had to call the IT everytime i want to watch tv to reset it.
Excellent facilities and amenities.
We get compt at The Hard Rock for pretty much everything, (room, food, bottle service, spa, etc). I wasn't quite ready to feel like just another quest.
Very nice as usual,always be my first choice!
Food good and fair selection.
Extremely expensive for the value. The amount not posted. And an hour or more wait time standing in line for a breakfast that didn't meet expectations.
The staff was really professional no matter where you went in the hotel!! The in rooming dining informs you that their gratuity is already included. So it was refreshing that they didn't sit around for a tip unlike other hotels!
The wifi wasnt the strongest, and if you have sprint you might have a few glitches with your calls.
Absolutely amazing, the staff were very friendly, helpful, and considerate.. If the DND sign was on they would never disturb me .. Unlike alot of hotels Even if they are a bit late with an order i made they wont wait for me to follow up, they will call and apologize for the delay The room is set up so that when you walk in and turn on the lights the curtain will slide open also, leaving you with this breathtaking view of Vegas, i loved the element of surprise there, nice touch The room was in a perfect condition, everything was working the way its meant to be. You will be surprised with the condition of other 5 star hotel rooms. The room basically had everything you would need. They thought of everything
I wish the location was in the middle of the strip. Also, i have seen other hotels with bigger shopping centers
The bed and the veiw was fantastic
We tapped on to the button of privacy please , however two days in a row people from the housing cleaning department still opened the door .
-the room we stayed in was very clean -enjoyed the ladies spa, sauna, and hot tub
wifi wasn't very stable
View from the room Bed in the room was very comfortable
Poor Wifi Connection (Not Free) No running water one of the nights Inconsistent service The restaurants were not exceptional

We are delighted that South Derbyshire District Councillors have listened to their constituents and have voted unanimously to oppose this pig factory farm proposal. We hope that the County Council will follow their recommendation and refuse to open the floodgates to mega pig farming in the UK
Jim Davies, a local resident and member of Foston Community Forum who attended the meeting said that his reaction was that of 'utter relief, particularly for local families who would be closely affected by the development'.
The meeting was attended by all members of the planning committee and numerous local residents. Following a lengthy appraisal by planning officer Tim Denning who wrote a report recommending that the council accept the proposal, the chairperson Lisa Brown said that a few members of the committee wanted to speak. Amongst them was Councillor Julie Patten who came out very strongly against the development, quoting the report by Planning Consusltants DPDS commissioned by Foston Community Forum. Other councillors also stood up and spoke, one of which was Trevor Southerd who said that the proposal was 'obnoxious' and that there were too many unknowns. He went on to say that the development 'was not a farm', and that he was fundamentally opposed to it.
A third councillor came out against the development and said that it represented a threat to the capital investment of taxpayers, ie Foston Hall prison. Another stated that the locals would effectively face a 'Hadrian's Wall' around the development.
Councillor Peter Watson said that it was an agricultural and industrial development, not a farm, and that he was fundamentally opposed to it.
A motion was then proposed that the Planning Officer's recommendations should be rejected. It passed with unanimous support. The committee agreed that they would write to the County Council to confirm that they oppose the proposal and recommend that the County Council do the same.
The planning consultant's report was apparently crucial in the decision as it raised issues that were not previously considered. You can read the report in full report here
The Facts
- This site is only 130 metres from a women's prison and natal unit as well as other residential buildings.
- Midland Pig Producers have been claiming 97% efficiency for the removal of odour and ammonia from the slurry, but verification tests showed that fine particle filtration was only 73% efficient at times. Source p.23
- Even if claims to stop up to 80% of odour, 90% of ammonia and 90% of germs and endotoxins are accurate it means that odours of the equivalent of 5,000 pigs, and germs and endotoxins equivalent to that of 2,500 pigs would be emitted.
- In their statement to Derbyshire County Council, the Health Protection Agency states: 'Recent research has found that those living up to 150m downwind of an intensive farming installation could be at risk of adverse human health effects associated with exposure to multi- drug resistant organisms'. Source p.27 The prison is only 130 metres from the site.
- The alleged sustainability of the development is based on the anaerobic digestor which requires 45,000 tonnes of waste to be driven to the site annually by HGVs, requiring 84 lorry movements per week.
- There has been overwhelming local opposition, with over 13,000 objections.
- GGD Nederlands, the umbrella organisation which advises and informs over 400 Municipal Health Services in Holland, has advised that intensive farms should not be built closer than 250 metres from receptors, regardless of whether they will provide mitigating measures such as filtration and a biodigester.
Please see the newly published report by Planning Consultants DPDS who outline in detail why the application should be refused.

Coal City, Diamond, southwest suburbs hit hard by storms
BY CINDY Wojdyla CAIN, MIKE NOLAN AND SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY Sun-Times Media November 17, 2013 3:30PM
Article Extras
Updated: December 19, 2013 6:26AM
There were prayers and scares, minor injuries and major damage to buildings.
Roofs were torn from houses, garages blew down — at least one barn, too — and people were trapped in a church, unable to leave while waiting for a tornado to pass.
Storms that swept through Illinois on Sunday did not spare areas southwest of Joliet nor the southwest suburbs. Hardest hit were Coal City, Diamond and parts of Manhattan Township.
"It's devastating. I don't know where you begin," said Ronda Brewer, who lives in Diamond Estates, a subdivision south of Route 113 off of Berta Road.
About 60 to 70 houses there were damaged by the tornado, said Morris Fire Chief Tracey Steffes, whose department was helping out with storm duty.
Numerous buildings were damaged in eastern and central Grundy County. The storm had less of an impact in the nearer southwest suburbs, but even there, fences were knocked down, traffic lights were out and tree limbs were felled in some neighborhoods, while others escaped unscathed.
Five deaths were reported in Illinois as of about 8 p.m., according to The Associated Press, but none in the Joliet area or the Southland.
In heavily damaged Diamond, the Rev. Bryan Thompson said about 30 to 40 parishioners from Christian Life Assembly Church huddled together in a room with no windows to wait out the tornado, which struck shortly after the church's second service ended at noon.
"We just got in there and got close and started praying," he said.
The church's garage was demolished, the roof was damaged and a $30,000 digital sign installed just a few months ago was seriously damaged. The steel sanctuary building was bent, too, he said.
A tobacco shop, RV sales business, a restaurant, a garden center and a gas station — all on Route 113 just west of Interstate 55 — all were damaged.
Paul Collins said the tornado sirens went off twice before the tornado hit. One woman walking in front of the church was pulled inside shortly before the storm struck, he said.
"We ran out and grabbed her and pulled her inside," he said. "She was trying to run home and she was right in the path of the tornado. We told her, 'It's going to be OK' and we prayed for her and her family."
Collins said they could hear the roof pick up and the building creak.
Carrie Feddeler of Mazon, who works at a fast-food restaurant on Route 113, said she saw the tornado touch down and lift up and then touch down again.
"As it was coming we saw the debris start to fly up," she said.
In Diamond Estates, Dan Cassani's home at 915 Laura Lane suffered serious damage. Several hours after the tornado hit, he and his friends and family were loading furniture and personal possessions into trailers, cars and vans for storage in the homes of relatives and neighbors.
"We heard the house crack and then felt pressure and our ears popped," he said.
Brewer, who lives nearby on Crystal Lane, said she was in her basement, too, when the storm hit.
"It was an eerie quiet," she said.
Brewer couldn't believe the damage to her neighborhood.
"It's just amazing how something can be here and gone in a matter of seconds," she said.
About 70 to 100 buildings were damaged by the storm, said Jim Lutz, director of the Grundy County Emergency Management Agency.
Three people were transported to Morris Hospital. Two others drove themselves to the hospital, he said.
The United Methodist Church in Coal City and the Red Cross were establishing shelters for residents affected by storm. Coal City schools will be closed on Monday, because its bus dispatch center was hit by the tornado and power lines still were down in the area, officials said.
"We'll be doing damage assessment in the morning," Lutz said.
About 50,000 people in the region were without power, he said.
Coal City firefighter Nick Doerfler confirmed buildings were knocked down by the storm there as well.
"There's extensive damage," he said.
Will County emergency management agency spokesman Chuck Pelkie said two sheriff deputies spotted a funnel cloud west of Interstate 55 near Braidwood and Wilmington. That area, he said Sunday afternoon, "is a mess."
Wires were down, and trees and debris were blocking the highway.
"People need to proceed with caution or find alternate routes," Pelkie said.
The Chrome Rack bar and Assembly of God church in Diamond also suffered significant damage, Pelkie said. An unknown number of people were trapped in the church at one point, he said, but they were rescued and only minor injuries were reported. A gas and propane leak in the area was also under control.
Seven houses around the 13000 block of Bruns Road in Manhattan suffered major damage, Pelkie said, but only minor injuries were reported.
The Red Cross and The Salvation Army were expected to visit the area.
Cheryl Allen, who lives in Manhattan Township, said she usually does not go down to the basement when there are storm warnings, but Sunday she was grateful she had.
"All of a sudden," she said, there were sounds of breaking glass and splintering wood.
"It seemed like an eternity, but it was probably only a minute or two" before the tornado had passed through, she said.
The stretch of Bruns Road is between Kankakee Street and Schoolhouse Road. The tornado touched down, "sounding like a turbo-charger," said Allen's son, Jim Allen Jr.
The Allens said their barn blew down, along with their attached garage.
"The walls on the east side of the house are ripped off, the roof and ceiling are gone," said her husband, Jim Allen, who remained upstairs and saw the garage get blown away. "We have to be grateful no one was hurt. All the animals are safe."
Emergency crews were evacuating families from the area, due to downed power lines. ComEd crews were on site, while winds continued to howl. Debris could be seen up and down the street and through the yards.
Greg and Beth Gordon said they were not home at the time and were only able to see their house from a distance, because the area was considered dangerous.
Mobile homes near Stuenkel Road east of Harlem also sustained some roof damage from the wind.
Frankfort police Chief John Burica reported at 1:15 p.m. that roads were blocked off on Sauk Trail near Pfeiffer Road and on U.S. 45 south of Steger Road, where tree limbs knocked down power lines.
No injuries, flooding or major damage were immediately reported there, however.
"For the size of the storm, we're in good shape," Burica said.
Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland said the Frankfort Fire Protection District station in Green Garden Township reported the tornado but he was not aware of any major damage or any major power outages.
"We were lucky. This storm certainly had the potential (to do some serious damage)," Holland said.
At the Brookside Marketplace shopping center at 191st Street and Harlem Avenue in Tinley Park, the power was out along the outer drive, with stores including Best Buy, Kohl's and T.J. Maxx closing early.
In Frankfort Square, Mike Saineghi and Claire Chaplinski had huddled with their dog, Sirius, in the bathroom of their home on Hawthorne Lane when the worst of the storm hit.
"I heard really loud wind and a lot of rain," Chaplinski said.
Sirius slept through the storm, and the couple emerged from the bathroom after about 50 minutes to find most of the fence in their back yard, facing North Street. Their home is rented, and they informed their landlord about the damage.
To the west of them, neighbors Larry Worley and Terry Cullen also surveyed damage in the rear yards of their homes, which mainly consisted of sections of wood fence that had been uprooted by the wind. One portion of Worley's fence sailed north across North Street, into the yard of another home. Some homes nearby had tree limbs down and sections of siding and roofing damaged when winds hit in the early afternoon.
Worley said that severe weather sirens sounded "quite a while before the storm picked up," and he and two other family members took shelter in the basement of their home, also on Hawthorne.
"It went from raining straight down to sideways, backwards," he said.
Cullen said he and three other members of his family dashed to a bathroom in the basement to wait out the storm.
"It was just 'bang,' and it was on you," he said.
Worley said the storm "was pretty much over as quickly as it started," although the wait for it to pass "seemed like an eternity."
Also blown down were several panels of fencing along the north end of the Lincoln-Way North High School campus in Frankfort Township. It serves as a buffer for the subdivision to the north.
Talha Al-Zoubi, who lives in one of the subdivision's townhomes, said despite the destroyed fencing, he "wasn't too shaken" because he was tracking the storm on his smartphone.
But "it got really foggy and you couldn't really see anything at all" as the storm went through, he said.
The Orland Fire Protection District said in a statement it hadn't received any reports of severe damage, an outcome that Chief Ken Brucki said was fortunate.
"We skirted the major brunt of the storm," he said. "It was headed towards us but turned to the east before creating damage to our community."
Farther north, Oak Lawn also was spared major damage, village Trustee Bob Streit (3rd) said.
"The high winds came through here, too. But we only had some minor damage, some tree limbs; I heard a billboard was down, there was some street flooding, but nothing significant, thank God," he said. "Downstate got hurt real bad so we were fortunate, very lucky. We're blessed."
He heard from ComEd that 1,100 homes were without power during the early part of the storm but that had been reduced to about 650.
One of the worst-hit parts in Illinois was downstate Washington, and a Joliet woman believes a remnant from the storm may have blown the roughly 100 miles to Joliet.
Kelly McCormick Queeney, who lives in the Sunnyland subdivision of Joliet, took her dog out between storms Sunday afternoon and found part of a birth certificate laying in her back yard.
"It was completely wet so I brought it inside to dry," Queeney, a mother of 5, said.
She realized right away it belonged to a minor, a boy from Washington, the town where a tornado touched down. She found the boy's Facebook page and sent him a message, telling him she'd be happy to return the certificate if he wanted her to.
"What disturbs me is that for his birth certificate to end up in Joliet, his house must have been hit hard," she said.

Simple Burn Remedies
For those of us who get distracted at just the wrong moment in the kitchen or workshop, here are two more handy tips I picked up from an old, out-of-print book of "household helps":
A Good Remedy for Burns: Cover a soft cloth with a thick layer or scraped raw potato and apply it to the burned part. The potato should be renewed as often as necessary to keep it moist.
For Burns and Light Scalds: At once coat the burned or scalded spot with mucilage and the smarting will cease almost instantly. If the burn is quite deep, keep it covered with a paste made of cold water and flour; do not allow the paste to get dry until the smarting stops.

We always have a tube or pump dispenser of aloe vera gel in our medicine cabinet. Apply to the burn immediately, renew covering every few minutes until it stops hurting.Posted by amaryeh on December 24, 2006 at 09:40:55 Pacific Time

I love using rhinestones to finish off a design or personalize a custom dress for a customer: Cut your Mylar Carrier sheet slightly larger than your design will be: Peel off the backing off the Mylar sheet and place it over your design, adhesive side up: Using small tongs or tweezers start placing your rhinestones on the design face down (glue backing is right side up): I always start adding rhinestones from the outside in so that I end up with a perfect mirror image...... .....so when I add in the final rhinestone it fits perfectly: Take the Mylar sheet with the rhinestones attached, turn it over and place onto your fabric: Place a small cloth on top of the Mylar sheet and iron carefully to melt the glue: Carefully peel off the Mylar sheet. I like to turn my garment inside out and iron it again to make sure all the rhinestones are adhered well: Be creative.....you can hand drawn any design as well, large or small: Just make sure you are using low lead crystals if you are adding them to a child's clothing! Shopping list: Kid safe rhinestones (you never know what kids will eat) Clothing Item You Want To Bling Up!

The Magic of Family Members Helping with Childcare
For any parent the topic of childcare is never ever easy. Whether you work at home, stay at home, own your own business or commute everyday to your job we all need help with our children — even if it's to get out to get a hair cut or shop alone.
Over the past year I've somehow (not sure how) managed to keep my head above water with two kids and building my own media business and brand. It grew out of my blog and then of course, writing for Disney and sharing my journey and other contracts, including handling all of the social media for a local D.C. area company which is now my main job. It's truly been amazing, however extremely tiring and not always gone smoothly. The reality is we can't do it all alone and working in 15 – 30 minute increments is not exactly productive, nor is staying up until 2:00am.
However, full time childcare was just not possible for us financially and I thought long and hard whether as to where I could cut back to find a happy medium. After a visit last year for my brother's wedding, a cousin of mine put forth the idea of living with us and helping us with the kids. Upon discussing it with my husband we decided it was good for all of us to have not only someone care for our children, but we could afford it, it is someone we know, love and trust and loves our children. She also gets the experience of living (somewhat on her own after college) and perfecting her English. We feel truly lucky to have this opportunity which we know very well does not happen for many.
And the end of the day, it is quite magical for me as well — my children get spoken to in Spanish by someone other than me and I've been reminded of the importance of more than just mami and papi — children need to learn to love, care and share time with other members of the extended family. There is so much good in this situation and I am thankful everyday.
¡Gracias Teresa!

I'm pretty certain Little L (now 15 months) hasn't taken a pacifier since she was 4 months old. Not sure how or why, but one night she just spat it out and never wanted it again.
