I had this at a wedding this past weekend. It had a fantastic presentation and was delicious. In a large glass bowl there was marinated shrimp, artichokes, olives and paper thin slices of lemon. I'm sure there are some other ingredients. But, when I went back to inspect the bowl it was nearly empty! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'll bet there wasn't anything but marinated artichokes, shrimp, various kalmata type olives, lemon slices and the whole mess allowed to marinate in the refrig for several hours until the shrimp and olives take on the flavor of the mariande. My grocerystore has an "olive counter" where they sell several different kinds of olives, marinated articholes, marinated mushrooms....and I''ll bet some shrimp mixed in and some lemon would be delicious. I am sure there is no "recipe" as such. Linda c |

Sounds similar to this from laurenfarms.com if you use olives: PRAWN AND ARTICHOKE VINAIGRETTE 2-3 lbs. freshwater prawns, shelled and cooked Bring 8 cups water to a boil. Add 3 t. salt. Add shelled prawns. Cover. Cook 3-4 minutes. Test for doneness. Do not over cook. In large container, layer prawns, artichokes, capers, celery seeds, bay leaves, onion and lemon slices. Mix dressing, vinegar and horseradish then pour over prawn mixture. Seal container and marinate for 12-24 hours in refrigerator. Drain prawn mixture and serve on salad greens garnished with onion rings and lemon slices. Yield 8-12 servings. |
Lee's Shrimp and artichokes 2lb. shrimp Mix together and refrigerate overnite. Drain and serve. (I cook the shrimp for only 1 minute because it will cook in the vinegar and lemon juice some more and will get too rubbery if you cook the shrimp several minutes before using) |

Other Pets at Pooches & Purrs Cooperative - Windham
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rosey Roo-$50 OFF!, a Windham Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Windham, or seeking a Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Windham.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Windham already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Windham breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Boxer/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Windham paves the way for another one to be saved.

When Vatican Connections launched in January 2013, it was just an idea. Something we were testing out to see if it would fly. Then suddenly, everything changed. On February 11, 2013 Pope Benedict XVI announced to the Cardinals that was resigning from his Petrine Ministry. Overnight, Vatican Connections became the go-to source for information about what happens at the Vatican. It was so in-demand that we added a French and Chinese language version of the program.
This Friday, September 27, Vatican Connections (English language version) returns for a second season of bringing you everything you need and want to know about what's happening inside the walls of the world's smallest city.
Our season starts with a look at what's been happening in Rome over the summer. Traditionally July and August are the months when Vatican officials – and Vaticanistas – take their much needed holidays. This summer was anything but. We'll look at the stories that shook the Vatican, the powerful moments in Rio de Janeiro at World Youth Day, and how the face of the Curia and the Church is changing around the world. As before we also bring you a glimpse into the people and places that have shaped our church and our history. To start off the season we bring you a profile of Cardinal Celso Costantini, the prelate who paved the way to formal diplomatic relations between the Holy See and China, saved key players from death in Nazi occupied Rome, and shaped the world of Sacred Art.
Vatican Connections is produced in partnership with Catholic News Service's Rome Bureau.
Tune in Friday September 27, at 8pm ET / 5pm PT for Vatican Connections.

Wrestling: Rich Central's Jabari Moody to wrestle in international competition in Croatia in August
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media June 19, 2014 10:16PM
Jabari Moody, of Rich Central, competes against East St. Louis' Chrishon Tucker for the 106 pound match for the Class 2A Quarterfinals at the State Farm Center, Friday, February 21st, 2014 in in Champaign | Gary Middendorf/for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: July 21, 2014 4:03PM
Jabari Moody has journeyed far and wide to showcase his skills on the wrestling mat.
Now the Rich Central senior standout is set to travel farther than he's ever gone before.
After a slew of notable wins, Moody earned a spot with Team USA for the FILA Junior World Team Championship in Zagreb, Croatia, starting Aug. 2.
The Harvey Twisters product conquered the 2014 National High School Coaches Association Folkstyle Championship in Virginia Beach, Virginia, then defeated two high school All-Americans at the World Team Trials in Madison, Wisconsin.
"I was very excited to make the team," Moody said. "I had to beat the current Team USA guy (Glenbard North's Kirk Johansen) in my weight class two out of three times for his spot. I was relieved when I beat him the second time."
The trip to Croatia will be Moody's first time abroad.
"I plan to do some sightseeing," Moody said. "I'll be going up against very high-caliber wrestlers, so I'll have to stay focused. But I think I'll be OK. I've been traveling all around the country for wrestling."
In February, Moody was one of 10 wrestlers to win a state championship with an undefeated record. Rich Central coach Tony Markanich said he's not surprised by Moody's success on big stages.
"He's put the time in since he was a young lad," Markanich said. "His whole family — including his father, who helps coach him — has been role models for him to give 100 percent to their dream, which is to exceed as far as they can in sports.
"He's always talked about wrestling in the Olympics, and now he's one step closer to his goal."
Moody plans to stay humble and continue working on his craft before the international competition.
"I'm excited to represent this country and my family," Moody said. "I'm ready to bring home a gold medal."

In every part of our vast country you'll find unique experiences to make your dream holiday come true.
Port Douglas is a short one hour drive north of Cairns along one of the most scenic coastal roads in Australia. Home to golden beaches and some of Tropical North Queensland's most exclusive resorts, the quiet former fishing village of Port Douglas is both sophisticated and relaxed and the perfect place to escape and unwind.
Stroll along Macrossan Street, the central hub of the village, and enjoy the variety of stylish restaurants, bars, cafes, boutiques, bookshops and galleries. Take advantage of designer shopping or pamper yourself at one of the luxury day spas.
At one end of Macrossan Street is the magnificent palm-fringed Four Mile Beach, which is a spectacular place to enjoy the sunset. Anzac Park is located at the other end of the street, where the picturesque St Mary's by the Sea Chapel stands and the weekly Sunday markets are held.
Port Douglas also offers a family holiday filled with fun and adventure. Learn to dive, snorkel, jet-ski or water ski or go kayaking to secluded beaches. Cruises to the Great Barrier Reef depart daily from the Marina Mirage, visiting sites considered to be among the best and most pristine on the reef. Visit the Low Isles on a sailboat; or spend a few days on a luxury yacht cruising to the outer reefs. Fly over the whole stunning panorama on a helicopter or sea plane scenic flight.
For a once in a lifetime experience, go swimming and diving with inquisitive dwarf minke whales in June and July; or view the spectacular annual coral spawning in November.
Port Douglas is also close to the Daintree National Park, where the coral reef meets the rainforest. Mossman Gorge, one of the most visited spots in the Daintree rainforest, is located just a 20 minute drive north of Port Douglas. Go crocodile spotting on the Daintree River or explore the pristine beaches of Cape Tribulation by 4WD. If you're brave, take a flashlight and take a guided night walk through the jungle. That's the time when the animals are at their most active and the forest really comes to life.
The wettest months of the year in Port Douglas are from February to April. Although wet, it brings relief from the humidity and the rainforests are spectacular with waterfalls in full flow.
North of Port Douglas, the coastal drive leads to Cooktown and the remote Cape York Peninsula.
Most visitors reach Port Douglas through Cairns International Airport. You can transfer to Port Douglas by coach, private limousine or rent a car.

Quite like this. On me it's a cool red with a slight fuchsia tinge - as other reviewers have noted. I find the texture quite creamy with a slight shine - not what I would have expected from a supposedly sheer product. I'd have liked it to be a bit lighter and glossier, as it looks and feels more 'done' than I wanted. Moderate staying power and the 'wear off' is much better on me than with most lipsticks I've tried. It kind of fades to a fairly even stain, rather than melting/drying/balling etc. It didn't wow me, but it's far from horrible.
I love this! I have a lot of trouble getting true red in any finish of lipstick (matte, satin, or sheer). I need a deep blue-based red, otherwise the color turns either muddy brownish red or a pinkish rose on my cool tones. This color, as someone else already said, has fuchsia undertones. On me, the color stays true; a very flattering sheer red. The texture is smooth, doesn't feel drying, and seems longer lasting than many other, more expensive lippies. I've just started using it, so pending anything unforeseen, it just might be a HG sheer red lippie.
I had been eying "First Class" for months until I caved in and picked it up. I am an enormous fan of sheer red glosses for that sweet "bitten" stain, and despite my well-stocked arsenal of sheer red glosses, I was wanting a product which would deliver the same color, but better staying power than a gloss. I have never met a sheer red lipstick which had been actually sheer - until now. "First Class" gives me the exact look I was looking for, a "bitten" shade of reddish-wine, which perks up the complection and wears well without any other makeup at all. The texture is virtually weightless, very balmy and comfortable. For fans of sheer reds, or for those who are just starting out with red lipsticks and are looking for a happy medium, this is a wonderful option.
first class is a sheer, buildable red with definite fucsia undertones on me. as with all sheer red lippies, it provides the desired "bitten lips" which i personally always try to achieve. leaves an understated red stain. i wouldn't complain if it was a bit more moisturizing. all in all, a great everyday lipstick in a pretty silver packaging.
I have been a big fan of Benefit lipsticks for a long time. I was so happy and excited when they released many new shades this fall. One of the first lipsticks I purchased was First Class. I was in the mood for a red lipstick and this shade fits perfectly in that category. First class is a gorgeous sheer red color. This is a clean red color to me - no obvious undertones of any kind just your basic beautiful red. I like the feel of Benefit's lipsticks they feel wonderfully moisturizing on my lips. The staying power is only average but that is the price I am willing to pay for sheer lipsticks. I am thrilled with this color and I know I will be wearing this color often.

Chocolate is so popular we have National Chocolate Week each year to celebrate it.
In any form, shape or size it can make a bad day better. Thankfully, indulging in the sweet stuff has its benefits too.
According to science and research there are actually health benefits from dark chocolate — in moderation of course.
Since it is made from plants and because it is dark, it contains some of the good beneficial flavonoids, which act as antioxidants to protect us from free radicals.
These nasty free radicals can speed up aging and cause damage that leads to heart problems and heart disease.
Even though I prefer the taste of milk chocolate, I've traveled to the "dark side" and begun to enjoy dark chocolate since international researcher Mark Stibich, Ph.D., says dark chocolate contains an abundance of antioxidants, with about 8 times the number found in strawberries. That's pretty impressive!
Most women I know have first-hand experience at the calming effect chocolate can present.
The ones doing the studies say it can relax blood pressure through producing nitric oxide and even balance specific hormones.
Now we know the answer to why I turn the house upside down looking for a piece when a craving hits. If the truth be known — most women probably have a "chocolate hiding place." You know ... in case of emergencies.
A interesting study was done of 3,000 people at the Black Dog Institute, Prince of Wales Hospital in Australia showing the positive benefits chocolate can have on depression.
The researchers wanted to investigate the link between chocolate cravings and personality style as well as atypical depressive symptoms — revealing that certain depressed people craved chocolate while others did not.
This study wanted to determine if cravings were an indicator of specific personality or depressive symptoms.
In addition to being good for the heart and great for the taste buds, chocolate:
n stimulates endorphin production — which creates feelings of pleasure;
n contains serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant and can turn a bad day around; and
n contains theobromine, caffeine and substances which are stimulants for added energy.
For all of you milk chocolate lovers, take heed. Don't mix it up, because in another study from the University of Glasgow and Italy's National Institute for Food and Nutrition Research, consuming milk with dark chocolate canceled out the good stuff.
For the ones who have been limiting their chocolate consumption because it supposedly causes acne, forget it.
That's probably been one of the biggest myths known to man. In moderation, it can actually increase blood flow to the skin. Yay! Good news for me and the rest of the chocoholics.
Now that we know better, we can enjoy it without feeling guilty. We can even come out of hiding and enjoy it out in the open.
To really enjoy the taste of the 300 compounds and chemicals found in each bite, do as the professional chocolate tasters do and appreciate the smell, appearance, texture, and taste.
This time of year is a good time to began appreciating it. With the winter months and dark days among us, a little dark candy may be just what we need to brighten the day and boost the mood.

Where Did the Name of Nebraska Come From?
While Nebraska did not become part of the US for quite some time after the original colonization of the East Coast, the area does have a lengthy history marked by conflict between European superpowers. At one point, the land that would become Nebraska was actually claimed by three different countries – France, Spain and England.
The Spanish arrived first, with the explorations of Coronado (this is also how horses found their way into the territory). However, the Spanish left the region after Coronado failed to locate gold and silver riches and unlike the Southwest, they did not create a lasting presence in the area. Next came the French – French explorers, trappers and traders navigated down the rivers in eastern Nebraska (the Missouri and the Platte, most notably). Unlike the Spanish, the French created a lasting presence in the territory, building trading posts and outposts along the river routes.
The English had a more tenuous claim the area, though with somewhat more "legal" grounds. Many original land grants to settlers from the English crown noted that the claims ran from the Atlantic Ocean to the "south seas" or what would eventually become the Pacific Ocean. While the English hadn't explored the area, these grants did give them ownership of the land.
The area that would eventually become Nebraska was eventually secured by France, then sold to the Spanish, then repurchased when Napoleon took power. It was then sold again, this time to the US in what became known as the Great Purchase (the Louisiana Territory). However, the name Nebraska was still not in use, and would not be until 1842. A US Army lieutenant was sent west to explore. After spending time with the Otoe Indians, he decided that their name for the Platte River (Nebraska) was ideal for the new territory (the name meant "flat water") and the Secretary of War approved "Nebraska" as the official name of the new territory.

The University has secured two of the first fully-funded Welsh medium academic posts set up by the newly established Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to provide new opportunities for students to study through the medium of Welsh.
Created through the Coleg's Academic Staffing Scheme the five-year posts will be based in the School of Mathematics and Cardiff Law School. The post holders will be responsible for teaching and developing Welsh medium provision within their respective subject areas.
The School of Mathematics post will specifically address the need for a better supply of highly trained Welsh medium mathematics teachers for the secondary education sector in Wales. The School will develop a new module, the first of its kind, to inspire and enthuse bright mathematics graduates from Cardiff to consider careers in Welsh medium mathematics teaching.
It is also envisaged that collaboration with other institutions in the south east regional sector, specialising in mathematics education, will play a strong part in delivering this objective.
The University is part of a national programme of universities developing Welsh medium provision with support from the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol funding schemes. The University's Pro Vice Chancellor for International and Engagement, Professor Hywel Thomas has recently been appointed to the Coleg's Board of Directors and Dr Hefin Jones from the School of Biosciences is also on the Board representing academic staff.
Professor Hywel Thomas said: "We are pleased to be among the first to play a key role in supporting staff and students' study through the Welsh language. In line with the Welsh Assembly Government's priorities in For our Future, these new posts will enable both schools to offer high quality provision and develop more modules through the medium of Welsh, as well as contribute to promote the Welsh language within their subject areas and across the University. We aim to encourage other Schools to apply for more of these academic posts in the future, in order to develop our Welsh medium provision."
Steffan Lewis from Cardiff Law School received a Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol scholarship to study a module through the medium of Welsh as part of his Law degree. He said: "Studying through the medium of Welsh increases my employability. The best thing about the scholarship is the work experience we are given in the second year in law firms so we get some experience of working through the medium of Welsh."
Manon George, tutor in Public Law through the medium of Welsh at Cardiff Law School, said: "This will embed the provision of Law modules being taught in Welsh which had been started in 2009. It will enable us to increase and improve valuable skills which are now fundamental for young professionals in Wales."
The Academic Staffing Scheme provides funding to higher education institutions in Wales to employ academic staff and to foster world-class lecturers who are known for innovation and excellence in teaching and research. Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol is providing £1M annually for a period of five years in the first place to support Welsh medium academic posts. It is anticipated that this scheme will provide over 100 Welsh medium academic posts by the 2015-16 academic year.

VIDEO: Matthews paces Padua to DSC bracket championship Emma Matthews scored a game-high 12 points as her Padua squad defeated Tatnall 36-26 to win the New Castle Insurance Cup Championship at the Diamond State Classic Friday afternoon. The Pandas led throughout most of the contest, racing out to an early 8-3 lead after one quarter and a 19-14 advantage at intermission. Both teams struggled from the floor against hounding defense, but ultimately the Pandas were able to get just enough offense going from Matthews and Rachel Liszkiewicz, who scored 7 points, to keep the Hornets in check. Erin Dodds hit seven free throws as part of an 11 point game for Tatnall. |

Council for Australian-Arab Relations (CAAR)
CAAR Strategic Plan 2013-15
Print version
Sector Focus Areas 2012-2015
The most effective way to identify where CAAR can affect the greatest impact is through relationships developed as part of CAAR's three key modalities: stimulate, execute and communicate.
Initial programs will foster further opportunities and relationships leading to new programs and initiatives.
Sector focus areas are based on evidence of:
- A clear need in the Arab world
- A perception of Australian comparative advantage
Priority sector
- Education
- Opportunity to enhance international students, sell curricula - especially in health education, but also in resources and energy.
- Food security
- Trade links are established. Good opportunity to work with Australian-Arab trade groups
- Infrastructure and ETMs
- Australian infrastructure operating widely in Arab world.
- Resources and Energy
- Australia has established regulatory systems and successful government initiatives to stimulate exploration for resources. Australia has well regarded educational facilities for resource professionals.
- Health care
- Strong Australian reputation, willing partners and supportive educational frameworks

Oakland Raiders
The Raiders offensive line is not good. They're going to get Jason Campbell killed, but even with their pathetic offensive line Darren McFadden still had a decent day rushing for 95 yards and having six catches for 55 yards and a touchdown.
Zach Miller is one of the best young tight ends in the AFC and I think he is going to have a great year but it all goes back to their Offensive line Mario Henderson and Langston Walker are terrible, Tom Cable still has a lot of work to do but at least they have a good punter in Shane Lechler.
San Diego Chargers
It's the same old song and dance for Norv Turner and "passionate"/immature quarterback Philip Rivers. Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeil were missed especially in the last play of the game, Philip Rivers still managed to throw for 298 yards and two touchdowns, it maybe sunny in San Diego today but the Chargers' fans are already flipping out.
Ryan Mathews had a solid debut: Mathews ran for 75 yards on 19 carries and caught a two-yard pass, he is a strong kid. The Chargers Special teams got gashed and their run Defense better start figuring out how to stop somebody or they are not going to make the playoffs.
Denver Broncos
Kyle Orton played well and was consistent,the hype with Tim Tebow was short lived and only lasted a handful of plays: the Problem with the Broncos is there Special teams and the lack of a solid pass rush!
David Gerrard had all day to throw the football and the fact is the Jaguars don't have any threats at all at Wide receiver, but it still only came down to who was going to make a play to tie the game and at this point the Broncos lack play makers and a solid running game.the Peyton Hillis for Brady Quinn trade is not looking good after the first week.
Kansas City Chiefs
What a way to open up newly renovated Arrowhead Stadium! Setting the all time Chiefs' punt return record with 160 yards, Dexter McCluster and Javier Arenas, went nuts on the Chargers special teams , the Chiefs are young, fast and fun to watch. Jamaal Charles proved once and for all that his performance in the last half of 2009 was no fluke.
Phillip Rivers was harassed all day and threw a temper tantrum like a four year old child, when the Chargers play in Arrowhead it's a fact that's were the best Charger Quarterback meltdowns always happen just ask Ryan Leaf "KNOCK IT OFF."

Hi Have always found that almost everything recovers ,usually incredibly fast . Prure the broken parts is about all you can do anyway. I had every leaf from every plant completely removed twice less than 6 weeks apart and I lost not a single plant !! It needed a good pruning anyway LOL gary |

Thanksgiving Book Give Away Contests have started on the Ehell blog! Check it out and enter!

Short version: The LW works in a college campus donut shop and has had several people help themselves to the contents of her tip jar if they are running a few cents short in paying for their order. When she objected, one lady called her selfish and told her that the money in the jar wasn't just for her.

My wife and I went to a local nyrsery to see if they had any Thuja GG trees and the lady said she would not even order them because they were a soft wood (which I knew) and they had a bad root system.
Can anyone tell me what she was talking about? Do the roots run on top of the ground or what? From photos we have seen of them, they look nice but I don't want to plant them and then find our 10 or 15 years later we made a mistake. Thank you and have a BLESSED evening. God Bless You
Follow-Up Postings:
If properly grown, they have a perfectly good root system. The problem is that many wholesale suppliers keep them for too long in pots that are too small, resulting in potbound plants with coiled roots at the bottom of the pot. Planted out, this makes for unstable trees liable to blow down once they reach any size. I'd guess your local nursery recognises this, and refuses to buy in poor quality stock like this. Resin |
Hi Resin, I'm just guessing but I was thinking your the owner or moderator of the forum. You seem to be pretty knowledgable about the contents posted and answer pretty quick. Anyway, what I would like to know is will the TGG fair well in my zone (I'm guessing 7b to 8 about 50 miles west of Fort Worth Texas). I have never seen one up close and wanted to know about how wide they are at the bottom? I was looking on a web site at either the 8" to 18" (Peat wrapped) or the 18" to 24" (potted). Which would have the best chance for survival here? Thank you for the answer you have already given me and thanks in advance for anything on this question. Have a BLESSED weekend. God Bless You |
"I'm just guessing but I was thinking your the owner or moderator of the forum" Grief, no, just one of the regulars! TGG might be a bit 'iffy' where you are, a bit hotter and drier than it really likes, but not really sure. How wide at the bottom - with age, probably 10-12m wide, but that'll be in 100-150 years. That's only a guess, as TGG has only been around for about 50 years (it's a hybrid first bred in 1950). If you want something more drought tolerant and not so huge, Arizona Cypress would be a better choice. Resin |
"Arizona Cypress would be a better choice." maybe, but subject to the same problem mentioned above about the thuja. They grow very fast and you don't want one that sat around the nursery for a year because it will have major root defects. A bad storm could blow it over in a few years. Are they commonly planted in that area? They are not as long lived in humid areas as dry ones. |
"Are they commonly planted in that area? They are not as long lived in humid areas as dry ones". I have no idea if there are any of either around here or not. We do get pretty hot here is the summer time. One of the reasons I wanted something fast growing for a privacy tree is my wife and I are 68 years old and wanted something that wouldn't take too long. I'm not really worried about 50 years from now. LOL. God Bless you |
I bet either the green giant or the arizona cypress would be fine then. Arizona cypress has green, blue or even gold forms available. Is probably less tolerant of shade. more tolerant of drought. The thuja can be sheared, while the arizona cypress cannot. Good luck |
RE:I was looking on a web site at either the 8" to 18" (Peat wrapped) or the 18" to 24" (potted). Which would have the best chance for survival here? thats still pretty small so Id probably get the larger ones, plant them in fall. Try and break up the root ball -spread out the roots a little while planting. |

What's the purpose of the mound in this last instance? |
donford, I'm about 15 miles southwest of Waco and have several Arizona Cypress and Eastern Red Cedar and one Thuja Green Giant. The Thuja is surviving and growing, but it seems to take more water than either the Arizona Cypress or Eastern Red Cedar. There are several fine specimens of mature Arizona Cypress and Eastern Red Cedar in both Killeen and Waco. Both of these trees will thrive in this area, and should do well where you are. From my observations so far, the Eastern Red Cedar have outgrown the Arizona Cypress. |

Beach Weddings: What to Expect
March 30th, 2009 | 9 Comments »
When picking your venue for your wedding day, you want to choose a venue that you're going to remember forever. Many couples picture themselves saying "I Do" at an outdoor wedding venue. If you love fresh air, sunsets, and sticking your feet in the sand – a beach wedding may be perfect for you. California has some of the top beaches around and are beautiful to have your wedding at.
Wedding Attire
A wedding at the beach can be very romantic and relaxing for you and your guests. It's a perfect way to have a more casual, yet intimate wedding ceremony. For the bride you can wear a shorter and looser dress that's more comfortable and definitely more affordable. You also don't need to worry about picking out your wedding shoes, barefoot is the best way to go when your walking down the aisle in soft sand. Grooms can also ditch the typical tuxedo and wear nice pants or shorts and a loose white T-shirt this makes for a gorgeous and unique wedding. Your guests can dress casually and comfortably as well and this can be an automatic theme wedding where the pictures will turn out great.
The Weather for a Beach Wedding
As beautiful as beach weddings can be, they may not be for everyone. We all know that we can't control the weather and a wedding at the beach can always be a mystery. Beaches usually have a breeze and not everyone likes the wind in their hair. You also have to remember the tides, you definitely wouldn't want a surprise from a high tide during your ceremony. Weather is a huge uncertainty for the beach, but a little breeze never hurt anyone. Make sure to check not only the date for the weather and tides, but the time as well. Before planning your wedding at a beach you should always check on the rules of the beach and what you'd be able to do on it according to your wedding day.
Creativity Comes with a Beach Wedding
The great thing about a beach wedding is that you can do more creative things with it more than a traditional wedding. For decorating your chairs or along your aisle you could string together sea shells together instead of having typical cloth draping. An interesting idea for your wedding favors could be to engrave yours and your groom's names into a polished shell for your guests to keep. Also to add a romantic atmosphere to your wedding you can have your ceremony when the sun is setting, which would also make great photos. What could be better than saying " I do", looking into your beau's eyes while the sun is setting right behind the two of you.

Obviously, a person who thinks and acts with deliberation - just look at those tomatoes! (I hope you have foam rubber under 'em. ;o) Steve's digits |
I have thick carpet under them, Digit. I learned that lesson the hard way the first year I hung them. Skybird |
- Posted by singcharlene Zone 5 CO (My Page) on Sun, Oct 28, 07 at 0:07
Funny! That looks great Skybird. You'll be enjoying tomatoes for a while! I have lots of green tomatoes all along the kitchen window ledge that are ripening and it's nice to just grab them when I need them but as they dwindle, I'm sad to see them go. I don't think I'll do store bought this winter (I'm saying for the moment.) Besides all of the puree I froze, I dried lots of tomatoes and froze them in baggies as well tons of whole raw cherry maters. I also made tomato pesto this afternoon and froze in ice cube trays. So we'll see how long the tomato season can extend for our family without resorting to store bought :) Charlene |
Put some of the green ones in the dark, Charlene. They'll ripen more slowly so you'll still have a few longer. Last winter I had them well into January---but I started with more green ones than I have this year. And if you get to where you're absolutely dying for a fresh one when yours are gone, buy the cherry ones in the store---the ones that come in a bag, can't remember what they're called right now, are usually surprisingly good. The big ones aren't worth the time or effort---and definitely aren't worth the money. Skybird |
Well, here's me, kicking myself for not "harvesting" all of my tomato vines and hanging them in the garage. I wasn't sure if this would work, so when a branch got broken off about a month ago, I hung it in the garage. The tomatos (my black ones) were awfully green and kind smallish. Time went by and nothing seemed to be happening, so I'd about given up on them. But then last night when I got home from vacation and happened out into the garage, there they were all ripe and ready to eat!! I brought in several promising looking fruit before I left (we hadn't had a freeze yet)to ripen in a box. When I got home, the freeze had happened and Steve hadn't covered the plants. But surprisingly, while the foliage was affected on the Black plant, many of the tomatoes still looked fine. So I harvested those today. I suppose this has something to do with the Russian heritage, as the Bush Celebrity tomatoes on the plant right next to it were all mushy. |
- Posted by dafygardennut 5b-ish, CO (My Page) on Tue, Oct 30, 07 at 1:08
Surprise, I finally pulled my poor sad little tomato plants out of the yard and found three little cherry tomatoes starting to turn red and a little green Early Girl, all undamaged, surrounded by the icky mushy frost damaged ones that I had missed. |
I LOVE your hang-em high harvest! Someone told me long ago that when you do a "post-frost/freeze" harvesting, to remove each tom w/ a bit of stem, then wrap them individually before putting in a box in a dark cool place. Worked great for us last year. Not half as many to work w/ this year/sadly. |

HELENA — The latest federal campaign finance reports show potential 2010 U.S. Senate opponents Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg each had more than $500,000 in campaign funds in the bank on Dec. 31.
The latest Federal Election Commission reports showed Tester, who has been raising money since his initial 2006 election to the Senate, had nearly $562,000 in cash on hand in his Montanans for Tester account.
Rehberg, a six-term congressman, reported having more than $553,000 in cash on hand in his Rehberg for Congress fund. He rolled over leftover money from his 2010 campaign into his new House account.
Rehberg has not yet announced his plans for 2012. However, Politico, an online political news site, reported this weekend that Rehberg "is an all-but-certain (Senate) entrant in the coming weeks, posing a considerable threat to Tester's re-election."
If Rehberg runs for the Senate, he could roll over his House campaign account into a Senate one.
Earlier this month, Republican Senate candidate Steve Daines of Bozeman, who announced his candidacy this fall, reported that he had about $206,500 in cash on hand for the period after raising more than $225,000 during his first six weeks.
For the latest three-month period, Tester reported raising more than $128,000 and spending more than $69,000.
Since his 2006 election, Tester has raised $1.49 million in contributions, with nearly $565,500 from special-interest political action committees and more than $922,500 from individuals.
"Senator Tester is building a tough and experienced campaign team because he knows what it takes to win," said Tester spokesman Aaron Murphy. "He won't give up on his record of hard work, working together and success for Montana, from creating private sector jobs to cutting taxes to cutting the budget."
Rehberg, whose report covers the period since Nov. 23 through Dec. 31, raised about $8,500 and spent about $51,000 during the period.
He reported having more than $594,000 left in the bank after his 2010 re-election and rolled most of it into 2012 campaign.
Rehberg's staff had no immediate comment on the fundraising.
Daines earlier said, "The willingness of so many Montanans to invest in my campaign for more jobs and less government is a clear message Montanans want fresh, conservative leadership in Washington, D.C."

"When you are steadfast in your abstention of thoughts of harm directed toward yourself and others, all living creatures will cease to feel fear in your presence." — Patanjali
Are your thoughts harming you?
Are you searching for your highest self and your greatest love?
Are you ready to discover your own Divine purpose?
Join Dr. Wayne W. Dyer on one of the most breathtaking islands of Hawaii for the powerful event that could change your life.
In this weekend workshop,
Wayne will help you ease the conflicting thoughts in your mind and wake up to the power of Divine Love.
• Learn to live in the love that never changes—loving everything and everyone, having no criticism or judgment toward yourself or others.
• Learn to experience the stunning awareness that "You Are God" –you are the infinite, eternal, and unconditional Divine Love!
As one of Wayne's favorite quotes from A Course in Miracles states, "A mind at war with itself remembers not eternal gentleness." In this workshop, Wayne will teach you how to feel your own connection to your purpose—your highest self. You'll remember who you are by understanding your original nature. You are love, you came from Pure Divine Love, and you will return in that same perfect love. And you will learn to live from this Divine love perspective on a daily basis—thus allowing you to tap into your own divinity and experience firsthand the inner peace that is yours.
Wayne has often said that his own purpose has been to live a God-realized life, and from this point of view, he discovered something that changed his life: With God, All Things Are Possible. And this, of course, leaves nothing out. Learn to discover the same in your life!
Take Wayne's challenge to reshape your outer self and finally recognize that there is only God in Action and that Divine Love is the original nature within every human being. Direct your mind to the Freedom and Perfection of the mighty I AM Presence. Stop letting your outer self stand in the way of you achieving full God-realization.
During this workshop, Wayne will also teach you one of the most powerful meditation tools in the history of the world—the beautiful I AM Meditation—a chanting of the exact sounds associated with the name of God found in the Old Testament—that has truly become our gateway to Divine Love. Learn to cleanse the connecting link between what you have come to believe about yourself and who you really are. You are Divine…step into the Love.
Wayne will be joined by Immaculee Ilibagiza: Immaculee Ilibagiza is a living example of faith in action. Her life was transformed dramatically during the 1994 Rwandan genocide when she and seven other women spent 91 days huddled silently together in the cramped bathroom of a local pastor's house. She tells her story in the New York Times best seller Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust, followed by five additional books. Today Immaculee is regarded as one of the world's leading speakers on peace, faith, and forgiveness.

Industry Update Summary July 2012
There are two themes in this month's data. First there is the rampant optimism of hoteliers, suddenly building and hiring again, reporting record demand and confidently talking about 2013 rate hikes. Then there is the much more guarded outlook for the macroeconomy, as reflected in the hit that Priceline and Orbitz have taken because of weakness in Europe. With the U.S. needing to navigate its fiscal cliff of tax-hike expirations and trillion-dollar spending cuts, a reprise is entirely possible on our side of the pond. The Congressional Budget Office said in late August that failure to extend the tax cuts and/or delay the spending cuts would cause a recession next year. And while that made headlines because of the CBO's prestige in the capital, the office was well behind private economists of all stripes in actually publishing what it must have long known about this particular blinding glimpse of the obvious. They can't both be right. Something's gotta give. But which will it be?

Great American Beer Festival Impressions 2012
by Mike Laur, Rick Mazzola, Carol WhiteOctober 18, 2012
The 2012 Great American Beer Festival provided yet another suds extravaganza for the masses. 49,000 attendees, including ticket-holders, brewers, judges, journalists, and volunteers, wondered in glee and bewilderment amongst a selection of over 2700 beers at the Denver Convention Center. That's more than 36,000 gallons of beer provided by 578 U.S. breweries.
Tickets Anyone?
Obtaining a ticket for the festival this year proved significantly more difficult and evasive than in years past. All tickets, for all four sessions, sold-out in 45 minutes! Last year the bright-eyed, hop-savoring beer aficionado could lollygag before committing to the largest beer festival in the world, as availability lingered for nearly a week. This year one was lucky to finish a pint of Hog Heaven before encountering the dreaded "sold-out" disclaimer at the Ticketmaster website.
Led by frustration and dismay, many wondered why tickets vaporized so quickly this year. Ticketmaster apparently bungled the initial, member-only pre-sale, inadvertently allowing not just members, but the entire world to buy tickets. Luckily, not many tickets sold to non-members, or so they say. Then, two days later, tickets vanished in less than an hour.
Many annual attendees, anticipating little trouble with ticket acquisition, were flabbergasted when sales ended with such rapidity. Their bags packed in vain, their airline tickets expensive and non-refundable, those denied tickets began to wonder how such a debacle could occur. Many blamed Ticketmaster, especially when clusters of tickets began to appear on ebay and craigslist. "Scalpers", they decried. The Brewers Association denied such claims, instead attributing the drastically condensed buying period to demand. Regardless, some, perhaps many, steadfast beer geeks either didn't get tickets, or didn't get tickets for the session they desired.
Outside the Hall
Unfathomable amounts of beer flowed both inside the convention hall and out. Quite literally, having a ticket to the festival was only the beginning.
In conjunction with the GABF, Denver and surrounding areas hosted a vast array of beer drinking jamborees. Falling Rock Taphouse poured rare and vintage beers, Oskar Blues hauled people northward in their unmistakable beer bus, and the Cheeky Monk offered a sobering, morning after beer breakfast.
Beer Drinker's Guide to Colorado Impressions
Not quite as rambunctious as in years past, but still a madhouse. Beer everywhere. A consistent rumbling of echoing crowd noise that began with each session and didn't subside until the last, giddy attendees disappeared into the Denver streets. An unreal gathering of the some of the best beer in the States. Timed releases of rare beer - Black Tuesday anyone? Conversations with brewers about canning and barrel-aged beer.
Big and surreal. Unequivocally the best way to sample and compare beer from around the nation.
Noise, madness, BEER, crazy costumes, BEER, happy people, BEER, HUGE crowds, BEER, favorite breweries, BEER, unique & rare beers, brewery friends winning medals, BEER, lots of fermented farting...and oh yeah, BEER!
I've been to lots of beer festivals, but GABF takes the cake. There is a level of pure excitement walking into that convention hall for the first session, seeing all the displays, the end-caps with some of the most famous breweries in the country, and the rows and rows of taps that will soon be flowing, pouring more beer than it would be possible to taste.
This was my 5th GABF, and I still feel that way when I walk through the doors for the first time. It's fun to look around before the hall is filled with beer drinker's, to check out the breweries you know that you want to visit, and perhaps have a chance to see or chat with one of the superstars of the craft brewing world. It also makes me feel lucky to be working in the craft beer industry, in what truly must be the golden age of craft beer.

The picture above shows my Grandma (2nd from right, front row), born in Kansas City in 1884, with some of her schoolmates. Below is the text of an email that is being sent around the internet about how very much more school kids in Kansas learned in Grandma's day than they do now. Any of the kids in the picture could have told you all about syllabication and the the inclination of the earth, I would bet.
How could kids today know as much as Grandma learned in her Kansas school? There is nothing on the final exam shown below that could not be easily learned by a student with a mobile in her pocket that browses the internet. Grandma would have loved it BTW. When she was a young woman she was a high tech secretary skilled on a typewriter by around 1900.
UPDATE: A reader sent me this message to my email: "The test appears to be a hoax that's been circulated by email for several years now. [Link to Scopes.] Didn't want to point this out in the comments though." I appreciate this reader's heads up very much, and have just read the Scopes evaluation.
I find it fascinating that Scopes does not seem to say the exam itself is a hoax. Instead it states: "Claim: An 1895 graduation examination for public school students demonstrates a shocking decline in educational standards. Status: False." [ital. Scopes'] Scopes then launches into a lengthy criticism of this "false" email content along these lines: "Just about any test looks difficult to those who haven't recently been steeped in the material it covers. . . ." I actually had 2 grandmothers educated in Kansas public schools before 1900, both of whom I knew well. I am certain they could have done the arithmetic in the test, and guess that they would have known most of the other questions' answers. They were both grammar whizzes with beautiful penmanship. I got my public school education in Texas in the 1940s and 1950s, and recall learning most of the answers to the questions on this "false" list. Even if such tests were not given in Kansas in the 1890s, I know first hand that they were given in Texas in the 1940s.
All of that aside, what I wrote in this post originally stands: Any generation would benefit from having what is known by humankind in their pocket. Today's kids do, and my Grandmas both would have loved it!
UPDATE #2: After writing the above update, I decided to check my bravado about being able to find things on the internet. Here, from the Salina Journal is a report directly from the Kansas source: 1895 Salilne County exam continues to raise interest.
This is the eighth-grade final exam from 1895 in Salina, KS, USA . It was taken from the original document on file at the Smokey Valley Genealogical Society and Library in Salina, KS , and reprinted by the Salina Journal.

Available in Brass, Chrome or Satin Chrome
The Carlisle Brass AA20 oval floor door stop is floor mounted and ideal for wood, tile or stone floors. It comes complete with all the necessary fixings and is simple, easy and quick to install.
Made from solid cast brass, the AA20 door stop is available in polished brass, polished chrome or satin chrome, to complement other door furniture used.
Ideally any door stop should be located about 150mm to 200mm from the un-hinged edge of the door. Any closer and the door stop will begin to act as a leverage point, placing undue stress on the hinges.


text: Looks pretty intense. I really have no drive to go and buy it though. Something too simple about it, not really all that orginal. Someone gets something that they can use to track down demons or what not. This show isn't for me but still looks like it might be worth watching.

The fiancé and I had a wonderfully lazy Sunday yesterday. We tend to always be running from one thing to the next, and it was nice to hang around in our PJs all day. I even made some chocolate chip cookies. We were out of brown sugar, so I tried this recipe instead. They turned out pretty good, and I would definitely make them again!
Now you have me craving cookies at 10:15 in the morning! Yum..

State-of-the-Art Wound Care Center Opens in Charlton
Charlton, Mass., July 19, 2010 - The Wound Care Center at Harrington, featuring the region's only state-of-the-art Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers, is now open and accepting appointments for wound-care patients.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is an FDA approved procedure in which a patient breathes 100 percent oxygen while relaxing in a pressurized chamber. The process delivers high concentrations of oxygen to the bloodstream and the wound bed, which helps increase the body's own natural wound-healing abilities and rapidly accelerates the healing process. It is used for select patients with chronic or hard to heal wounds.
The Wound Care Center at Harrington is part of Harrington's newest medical facility, Harrington HealthCare at Charlton, and is located at 10 N. Main Street near the intersection of Route 20. The Wound Care Center at Harrington is an outpatient, hospital-based program that works in conjunction with the patient's primary care physician, serving as an adjunctive service specializing in the treatment of problem wounds. Open Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the program operates by appointment and accepts referrals from physicians and other health care providers, families and patients themselves. For an appointment or more information, please call 508-248-6780.
"Harrington is pleased to be able to offer the highest quality patient care for the treatment of problem wounds," said Ed Moore, President and CEO of Harrington HealthCare System, which includes Harrington HealthCare at Charlton. "The Wound Care Center at Harrington features two Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers, which can help speed the healing process. This is the only treatment center in the region with Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers."
The Wound Care Center at Harrington specializes in treatment of chronic and hard to heal wounds, a growing problem spurred by the aging of America and the increase in diabetes. Approximately 21 million Americans have diabetes, and of that population, about 1.8 million will suffer from a problem wound.
Harrington HealthCare at Charlton has joined with Diversified Clinical Services, the leaders in advanced wound care, to create the Wound Care Center at Harrington. In addition to the two Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers, the center features five treatment rooms equipped to meet the specific needs of the wound care patient. The center's professional staff includes physicians and nurses specially trained in wound care and uses a variety of clinical treatments, therapies and support services to treat chronic wounds.
Harrington HealthCare at Charlton is part of the Harrington HealthCare System, which also includes Harrington Hospital. In addition to wound care treatment, Harrington HealthCare at Charlton offers:
• Primary Care Physicians and Specialty Physicians in Cardiology, Ob/Gyn, Orthopedics, Urogynecology and Urology,
• Diagnostic Imaging, including digital mammography, MRI, bone densitometry, ultrasound and X-Ray, all read by radiologists from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Children's Hospital Boston,
• Laboratory Services, including a blood draw station,
• Rehabilitation Services, including neurological, orthopedic and sports medicine programs and treatments,
• Outpatient Behavioral Health Services, including a full range of psychiatric and counseling services, such as assessment, medication management, individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
18 But why, why this chronic pain, this ever worsening wound and no healing in sight? You're nothing, God, but a mirage, a lovely oasis in the distance - and then nothing! | 18 Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? Will you be to me like a deceptive brook, like a spring that fails? |
