From roaring engines to wedding bells
While many brides spend hours perfecting every detail before their wedding, Toni Hunter-Grant will be doing no such thing. Instead, she and her soon-to-be husband Larry Barnes will be focusing on hitting 60 miles of pavement just hours before saying, "I do."
Frackleton and Hodges to wed
John Frackelton and Susan Jones, both of Skaneateles, are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Ellen Pierson Frackelton, to William Thomas Hodges of Williamsburg, Va.
'There were a lot of smiles going around'
Athenaeum provides wedding to employee who could not afford one
Alexandria Cioffa and Chris Miles had decided in May to forego having a wedding and instead to simply elope and say their vows in front of a justice of the peace because they did not have the money for such an event. When Trudy Scarr, executive director of the Athenaeum assisted living home in Skaneateles, heard about this, however, she had a better idea. She offered to not only host but also prepare a wedding ceremony for the couple at the Athenaeum.
Did you know?
Weddings are one of the many milestones in life that are marked with celebrations both religious and festive. Following are some facts and figures related to the sacrament of marriage.
Take the cake
Choosing the confection of your dreams
There are many different designs, types, colors and shapes of wedding cakes to choose from. The best way to choose what you like is to look through books and magazines and then look at pictures of your cake maker's work.
Diamonds are forever
Found the right guy? Help him find the right ring
Historically, the man has been the one who has chosen the ring with which to surprise his beloved. Nowadays, that practice is not done as frequently, and the bride-to-be gets to put her two cents in.
Small things that add a personal touch
Sometimes the devil is in the details, and the little things can get lost during the planning process. The following is a list of some of the small items that can help make your day complete.
Responsibilities of the Groomsmen
Happy couples choose friends and family members to serve as attendants in their weddings. Bridesmaids and groomsmen each have different responsibilities in the wedding.

Five things every bride should know
Three years ago I was married to a wonderful man in Jamaica. There were so many special details of that day that I swore I would remember forever. The truth of the matter is with every year I remember less and less of the details. Old age is a real bummer! Every year on our anniversary I force my husband to go through our wedding album, and recall all those funny stories or special moments we shared on our special day.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Max!
Facts about Max
- Breed: Australian Terrier/Corgi Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Tan
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Max's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Max is a sweet, adorable 2 years old, 10 lb. Terrier / Corgi mix that was found on the streets of L.A. with burn marks from a shock collar. He is now a happy, healthy boy who loves to run, go for walks, play with other dogs and hang out with his people. Max needs to go to a home with another SMALL dog who likes to run and play. No large dogs (he's afraid of big dogs). It may take Max a day or two to warm up to new people but once he does, he will give you his whole heart and soul!
Max is healthy, house trained, neutered, current on all vaccines and microchipped.
Foster / adoption only open to Southern California residents. We do not foster / adopt any of our dogs to households with children under 10 years old.
A foster / adoption application must be filled out PRIOR to anyone meeting any of our dogs.
To receive an application Contact Death Row Dogs Rescue at firstname.lastname@example.com or (818) 232-0775
Other Pets at Death Row Dogs Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Max, a Van Nuys Australian Terrier/Corgi dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Terrier/Corgi for sale in Van Nuys, or seeking a Australian Terrier/Corgi dog from a breeder in Van Nuys.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Van Nuys 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 Van Nuys 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 Australian Terrier/Corgi breeders who help with Australian Terrier/Corgi rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Van Nuys paves the way for another one to be saved.

How Strong Is the U.S. Navy?
Summary: We spend a substantial faction of the US national income on national defense (broadly defined), roughly the same amount as the rest of the world spends (most of which is by our allies). Yet our leaders frequently warn that we're at risk, and our military edge can vanish quickly. Recently Romney gave a fine example of this. Today two political scientists give us a more accurate perspective.
"How Strong Is the U.S. Navy Really?" By political scientists Brian Crisher and Mark Souva. Published at The Monkey Cage. Posted here with their generous permission.
"A good navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace." – Theodore Roosevelt, his second State of the Union, 2 December 1902
In the last debate, Governor Romney made the claim that the US Navy is the smallest it's been since 1916 implying that the US Navy is regressing in terms of overall strength. How accurate is this claim? We recently compiled a new data set on naval capabilities and created a measure of state naval strength for all countries from 1865 to 2011. As such, we are in a position to address the claims of the Romney campaign. Broadly stated, our measure of state naval power is based on a state's total number of warships (non-fighting ships are excluded) and each ship's available firepower. To make comparisons over time, our annual measure is based on available firepower within the international system in that year. (For more information, see our paper below) . In 1916, the US controlled roughly 11% of the world's naval power. This is an impressive number that ranks the US third in naval strength behind the UK (34%) and Germany (19%), and just ahead of France (10%). What about the US navy in 2011? In 2011, the US controlled roughly 50% of the world's naval power putting it in a comfortable lead in naval power ahead of Russia (11%). The US Navy has decreased in absolute size as Governor Romney argues (although this decline has been ongoing since the end of Cold War). U.S. warships are more powerful now than in the past, as President Obama implied. However, neither the number of warships nor the power of our ships is what is most important for understanding military and political influence. It is relative military power that matters most. In this respect, the U.S. navy is far stronger now than in 1916. Their paper, including the key graphic "Power At Sea: A Naval Power Dataset, 1865-2011" — Abstract: Naval power is a crucial element of state power, yet existing naval datasets are limited to a small number of states and ship types. Here we present 146 years of naval data on all the world's navies from 1865 to 2011. The creation of this country-year dataset focuses on warships that can use kinetic force to inflict damage on other structures or peoples. As such, the dataset captures naval power in terms of ship types and available firepower. This paper introduces the country-year data, describes variables of interest that can be used in either country-year studies or dyadic studies, and suggests potential questions of interest that scholars could explore using the naval power dataset.

I intend to read the paper, but have not yet and my comment is specifically to address what is written in this post.
I would consider it a failure of political science writ large if the political value of naval power is measured primarily in relative comparisons of military power based solely on metrics that measured tools and/or technology.
The implications of which would be naval power is measured primarily by capacity against other naval power. It is hard to imagine a less valid way to articulate the political value of naval power than with this type of simplicity, and that is what makes the discussion of naval power by both candidates in this election unworthy of much intellectual examination – as neither have contributed even a single suggestion what is lost or gained with more or less American naval power.
In these elementary examinations and comparisons of US naval power, the diplomatic function of naval power is often missing. I hope that in reading the paper linked above I will discover these two students have not made this fundamental error in political analysis of seapower, but based on what is printed here my expectations are not very high.
At it's most simplistic, the candidates debate quality vs quantity without context. That context is complicated, but one thing is for sure – it is absolutely not primarily relative comparisons with the rest of the world.
Dave permalink24 October 2012 7:55 pm
The lethality and effectiveness of our navy per ship has increased dramatically, as has the relative superiority of our forces compared to other powers. Inasmuch as our straight up national defense is concerned, we have more than enough to not only defend our country but crush our nearest competitors in any conventional conflict.
However, in the contemporary geopolitical situation, the role of our navy is not just about strict national defense or power projection, it is also about keeping sea lanes open and safe for transit by merchant ships.
Yet at the same time, this situation need not be a justification for building a massive and ultimately unsustainable navy. We can keep sea lanes open and safe through the use of strategic alliances with other countries including China, which have an obvious interest in protecting international trade. Indeed, joint patrols can increase military to military ties and in the case of China or Russia, can ultimately help prevent future conflicts. We can further augment this through the legalization and encouragement of regulated and sanctioned armed privateers which can provide escorts for large ships transiting through danger areas and where state naval resources are spread thin.
Todd Guthrie permalink24 October 2012 9:45 pm
In related news, Rear Admiral Matthew Klunder says that a laser-armed navy is just 2 years aways.
guest permalink25 October 2012 9:18 am
I find it interesting that Russia, even after the collapse of the USSR, scrapping many vessels, selling off elements to China or India, and leaving so many ships and submarines to rot in various ports, still has the second most powerful navy.
It gives an idea of how much one could possibly let go of the US navy without endangering its superiority.
Ed permalink25 October 2012 9:12 pm
"National defense." Don't you just love this term? So Orwellian. Yes, we have to have a strong Navy, Army, and Air Force, to defend ourselves from Canada and Mexico–those villians. And of course,those evil South Americans can't wait to destroy us. And God forbid should the Cubans decide to attack. Remember back when those horrible Filipinos were a menace to us?
Yes sir, it's a dangerous world out there. Just ask Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Yugoslavia, Honduras, Chile, Panama, Grenada, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Iran, Nigeria, the Yemen, Libya, and Syria. Oops, I forgot Mali. The very thought sent shivers down my spine.
Thomas More permalink26 October 2012 3:55 am
Ed raises an excellent point. America has enjoyed lots of good fortune in its short history. We had the good fortune to find a mostly empty country with a mere six million or so aborginal peoples far below our technological level, easy to rape and torture and mass-murder in order to grab their land and iron and copper ore and forests and beavers and buffalo and bison. Then America had the additional good fortune to be surrounded by a pair of nations notable for their inoffensiveness — has anyone heard any terror tales of the "bloodthirsty Canadians"? Or scare stories about the terrifying conquests of the rapacious Mexicans?
Finally, America had the great good fortune to find itself separated from the nearest hi-tech predator nations like Germany or Japan by well over three thousand miles of ocean. As a result, America has never seen its cities bombed by the air by a ruthless enemy, has never seen its shores invaded by a gigantic D-Day-type landing force, has never seen its peoples herded together and liquidated and large numbers of its cities reduced to ash and their entire populations slaughtered as so many of the nations in Europe and Asia and South America did.
General Smedley Butler of the U.S. Marine Corps put it succinctly in 1933:
"I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
"I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket."
Sven permalink26 October 2012 6:58 pm
"With Iran destabilizing the still vital Persian Gulf region, China rising in Asia, many trouble spots from Libya to Syria to North Korea most accessible via the sea, and the global economy more interdependent than ever, at the very least we can be grateful the candidates are calling attention to this crucial matter."
Typical. Iran is destabilizing the region! Can you imagine any more outrageously hypocritical and obtuse idea? After decades of our invading and bombing and trying to starve the region, it is Iran who is destabilizing! And China: the new ogre. It is "rising" in Asia. So pull out the guns and prepare to shoot them! Korea is a "trouble spot" for which we bear no responsibility at all, of course. And to cap it all, we have to be "grateful"–grateful!–to the likes of a Romney and Obama, for pointing all this out.
This mentality is why we will fall and fall hard.

LoggerHead Bit Dr. ($25)
With the exception of its infomercial-friendly name, it's hard to imagine improving on the Bit Dr., a recent winner of our PM.com Gadget of the Week. This lightweight, multi-bit screwdriver has 10 double-sided bits tucked away in the handle and a quasi-ratcheting function-the rotating shaft locks in place when pressed against a fastener. And it folds down to 4-in.-long and 5/8-in.-wide, so it can tuck right in to your Old Man's pocket.

Pop quiz: How many speakers presented at SXSW Interactive? Answer: More than you'd imagine. In fact, way more - 1,600 if you're looking for a number. Remarkably (but unsurprisingly) 91% of SXSWi speakers are active on Twitter. (Who are the 9% who aren't, and how'd they get selected to present?)
Today we're pleased to share with you all the active speakers in three Twitter lists. Yes, we know the event took place over a month ago (which is an eternity on the social Web), but given that I manually researched the handles for all 1,600 speakers and manually entered them in Twitter, a month is breakneck speed. (The glamorous life of a marketing coordinator!)
In any event, enjoy these alphabetized lists. They are comprised of a veritable who's who list of digerati.

Recent Stockholm & Sodermanland Reviews
Wonderful place to stay
The house has everything we could have wished for.
We were traveling with 8 people including for attending a conference in Stockholm. We found with Christer a perfect host.
The house is very clean and has all the service, ranging from very nice Terrace, Jacuzzi and Sauna, all there.
The connection to the city center is very good. The metro runs every 10-15 minutes and you are in about 15 minutes in the old town.
This is most likely one of the best spots you can find for a visit to Stockholm.
Highly recommended!
A fabulous place for a relaxing family vacation!
We rented Kulla Gard for a week at the end of July. The house and grounds are every bit as wonderful as they appear in the photos. The place was quite clean, the appliances were modern and the kitchen worked well for five cooks of differing abilities. It's an easy drive or bus ride from Stockholm. There is a bus stop at the end of the lane and it's a short hike down a tree lined alley to get to the house, although it would not be a fun walk with luggage or groceries. There's a decent grocery store just a few minutes' drive away. The island's hiking/equestrian trail runs right beyond the barn. We wished we had brought some sturdy bicycles and there was no place to rent them locally. Horses would have been even better! We did notice that the barn had been renovated with nice box stalls, although there is no mention on the rental site about barn usage.
There are two upstairs bedrooms with beds for couples and another semi-divided bedroom that is set up with two twin beds suitable for children. Our adult daughter slept downstairs in the library, which has its own full bathroom. This bed would have been cramped for two people.
The deck has a roll-out awning, which was perfect for both rainy and sunny days (we had both). It's a great place for evening cocktails overlooking the lake.
We never could get the wireless modem to work, which turned out to be a blessing. After two days, no one missed it! Our Blackberries and Iphones worked fine, so we were not completely "cut off". The owners have probably fixed the modem problem by now.
We spent the week rowing, swimming, hiking, throwing balls into the water for the dog, sitting on the deck and watching the swans, playing board games, reading and taking turns cooking. We had intended to travel around more, but Kulla Gard was too inviting.
We would advise bringing bug spray, as there are mosquitoes and ticks.
We were quite intrigued by the white snails, which we don't have in the United States, and also with the lack of night time cricket noise, which is always a factor in country evenings in California. We saw our first glow worm, but it was all alone. Was it not really glow worm season?
The owners were quite gracious in all of our dealings and the house manual provided was extremely thorough. We would love to return.

President Obama has lost the slim lead he once held over Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.
Researchers say the economy is to blame for Obama's decline. His drop in the polls comes after three months of declining job creation.
Fewer Americans believe the economy is getting better, and the majority don't agree with the way the president is handling it. Only 30 percent of registered voters say the country is headed in the right direction.
Meanwhile, the poll shows that Romney is bouncing back from the brutal Republican primaries, with an increased number of his supporters saying he has their vote.
Nevertheless, 56 percent of those surveyed believe Obama will win a second term.

The Metadata Interest Group consists of from four to six officers and two liaisons appointed from the membership at large, serving from one- to two-year terms and led by a chair and chair-elect.
The origins of the Metadata Resource Group can be traced to Digital Resources Committee, which was established in 1995 by members of the ALCTS Computer Files Discussion Group. In 1998 the ALCTS Board asked the committee to review its charge and to modify its name to reflect the increase in metadata development happening worldwide. At that time the group changed its name to Networked Resources and Metadata Committee. In 2003, the Committee became an Interest Group, and in 2009 the group changed its name to Metadata Interest Group.
Get Involved
ALCTS values committed and active members. Qualified members are welcome to volunteer to serve on the Metadata Interest Group. Members interested in serving should be active within ALA, possess a background or demonstrated interest in metadata, and be willing to commit to 1 or 2 years of service. Even if you can't serve, please join our ALA Connect space to stay informed and participate in between-meeting events.

text: HOLYOKE Holyoke Medical Center's new Emergency Department Medical Director, Dr. Manish Vig, has a vision, and with his evolving background in emergency medicine and business management, he is implementing significant improvements to this community hospital's most visited and most visible asset. Vig is working toward the creation of a new Emergency Department that will be staffed by a "solid core" of full-time, highly skilled physicians and practitioners, standardized treatment protocols and a commitment to the highest quality of compassionate care, in a positive working environment. "It's a facility that patients can trust for efficient and proper state-of-the-art care, right here in their community," Vig, a native of Delhi, India, who grew up in Queens, N.Y., and graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine, said. He also recently earned a master's of business administration (MBA) degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, one of the most competitive business schools in the country. Within two or three years, HMC plans to break ground on a brand new, expanded ER facility. "This will be an ER that has the capacity to meet the needs now and in the future, of our diverse patient population. Annually, close to 40,000 patients are seen in this ER, more than the average for local community hospitals," said Vig, citing a high rate of uninsured and underinsured patients lacking access to primary care. "We can either fight or ignore this fact, or face it head on by increasing capacity to meet that need and challenge. And we're not going to fail at this." Vig's can-do attitude and early abilities in science propelled him to excel. "I enjoy the human side of delivering science. I decided to be a doctor early on in childhood, and I just kept moving further up," Vig said, who completed his residency and was chief resident at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pa. For 10 years he worked at Virtua-Memorial Hospital of Burlington County in Mt. Holly, N.J., and as attending ER physician at Methodist Hospital and St. Agnes Hospital in Philadelphia. He graduated from the Wharton School in 2007 and came to HMC in March of 2008. Last October, HMC began working with EmCare, the nation's leading emergency medicine practice management group, with over 4,500 affiliated physicians. EmCare introduced a team of ER physicians to HMC, who have raised the bar on quality of care and are working extremely well with HMC's nursing staff, helping to create the high-energy working environment HMC's ER strives daily to maintain, said Vig. "We are seeing patients quicker, increasing patient satisfaction and implementing systems so that patients' pain and treatment can be managed efficiently. The nurses have been the steady hand through this whole transition," he said. Vig's philosophy of care is to be accurate and efficient, while maintaining compassion for patients without being judgmental skills every ER staff person must master, he said. He believes strongly in teamwork, and sees himself as "captain of the ship who is always striving to work alongside the shipmates." "In the ER, you're responsible for multiple patients all the time. There's no other specialty in the house of medicine that works with as many other specialties as emergency medicine. I get to have active conversations with specialists in real time, learning about different problems and understanding their mind processes all of which translates into better patient care," he said. |

Tiff between TDP, Congress over airlifting pilgrims takes ugly turn
Members of Parliament belonging to the Telugu Desam Party and the Congress made themselves the butt of ridicule at the Jolly Grant airport in Dehradun on Wednesday when they engaged in scuffles and hurled invectives at one another over the issue of ferrying pilgrims from Uttarakhand.
The incident, which took place in full public view, climaxed the three-day-old game of one-upmanship being played out by the two parties ever since TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu, returned from his 10-day holiday in the U.S. Their ugly behaviour overshadowed the efforts to provide relief to suffering pilgrims of whom nearly 300 are untraced and a few hundreds remain stranded in Badrinath and Harsil.
Mr. Naidu had stolen a march over the Congress by rushing to AP Bhavan in Delhi, staging a dharna there and rushing to Dehradun to work out the logistics to bring back the pilgrims. He outsmarted the government by chartering an aircraft from Delhi, bringing back 180 pilgrims to Hyderabad and buying flight tickets for others in regular flights.
Piqued over what they perceived a 'Modi-style' Rambo act to expose the government, Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy himself rushed to Delhi and announced that a special flight would be operated from Dehradun to Hyderabad at 5.25 p.m. Wednesday. Not to be left behind, the TDP leaders also a hired an aircraft from Jolly Grant and Mr. Naidu himself reached there from Delhi.
At around this time, Congress leaders V. Hanumanth Rao, MP, Union Minister P. Balram Naik, and Ministers -- N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and D. Sridhar Babu -- were directing pilgrims towards the Congress government's aircraft. The competition reached a new low when TDP MPs Ramesh Rathod and K. Narayana began wooing the same pilgrims to board the Vizag-bound, TDP-sponsored plane. "It reminded me of how private bus operators poach passengers in semi-urban bus stands," remarked a shocked pilgrim.
While Mr. Uttam Kumar Reddy and Mr. Narayana were arguing fiercely, Mr. Hanumantha Rao intervened and confronted them over preventing passengers from boarding the government's flight. It was now the turn of the burly-looking MP Ramesh Rathod to enter the scuffle. He pushed back Mr. Rao while CISF personnel rushed to scene and separated the squabbling MPs. Amid sloganeering from both sides, Mr. Naidu watched the unfolding drama from a little distance away.
Finally, the flights arranged by the TDP and the State government took off within a span of ten minutes for Hyderabad. According to agencies, Mr. Naidu termed the incident unfortunate and that there should not be any competition over a tragedy. He declared that his party would not stop the "service" to pilgrims until the last one of them is sent back. He accused the Kiran Reddy government of totally failing to help the pilgrims from AP.

text: I think he should do another movie like Enchanted although it probably wouldn't be as good as Enchanted. I too did enjoy all the Disney references like when the Little Mermaid music was playing in the lobby of the law firm . Maybe he could direct a traditionally animated film because the beginning animated part of Enchanted was gorgeous

I love this note, because it came to me from a senior editor at a publication that will remain anonymous, but it so clearly demonstrates what people will do out of passion. His is passion for the product.
"By the way, just put it through the acid test. There's more than a foot of snow in the yard, it's been spitting snow all morning, and the temp just slipped below freezing. Went out, hooked up the garden hose, and had my wife pound me with 40+ gpm through the hose for more than ten minutes."

Ballin: Six years ago, Corey Brewer was named Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA tournament for the Florida Gators during their repeat national title run, so that's why it kind of makes sense that he'd go for a career-high 29 points and knock down three free throws to win the Nuggets their 14th straight game. Considering he's shooting his highest percentage and scoring the most points per game of any month this season, he's pretty much Mr. March.
Not so much: Which is worse — blowing an 8-point lead in two minutes or blowing a 5-point lead in 14 seconds? The answer doesn't really matter since the 76ers did both in their loss to the Nuggets.
Por ejemplo: Here's how that all went down.
If you're a dedicated Damien Wilkins hater like myself — I'll never forget him for occasionally freezing out Kevin Durant during Durant's rookie year with the SuperSonics — this is delightful. If you're Damien Wilkins, probably not. Really good for cuddling to though.
Complaining: Last night's Bulls loss was their ninth since the All-Star break, which wouldn't be a big deal if they hadn't won just six times since then. It was also already the fourth time since the break that they've lost back-to-back games, which is something that only happened four times prior to the All-Star Game. Safe to say, they're slumping.
Rhymery: A word that rhymes with "slumping" is "jumping," which is something the Bulls still do well.
As the saying goes — if you can't beat 'em, dunk on 'em.
Throwback: Remember when Tyreke Evans averaged 20-5-5 for an entire season and people were excited about him? He did it last night, scoring 19 in the second half to give him 21 for the game, to go along with his five and five. It's just the fifth time he's done it this season.
Throwdown: Another guy who's gone 20-5-5 five times for the Kings is DeMarcus Cousins who had a pretty solid dunkski last night.
In a move that should surprise no one, DeMarcus has been suspended 15 games for being so violent to the rim. It's his rep.
Other things: LeBron became internet bros with the fan who ran on the court because he loves that stuff. Seriously, he does and I can't imagine the NBA agrees with his stance … Chris Paul got a flop warning for his brutal acting performance … Cool shirt, Mike Woodson … Uncle Drew basketball cards … No one cares that we prefer NBA basketball, so let's just shut up about it … Take a listen to friend of the blog Jeff Weiss and rappers Nocando and Freddie Gibbs talking about athletes who try to rap

Whether you are an experienced grazer or a beginning farmer you need to attend this 2 day educationally dense grazing school with Ian Mitchell-Innes, and the Keener's at Sequatchie Cove Farm and learn how a pasture-based farm has the potential to be a highly profitable and regenerative enterprise.
In this 2 day intensive learning experience, Ian Mitchell-Innes an internationally known mentor and trainer of holistic high intensity grazing techniques, will inspire us to change how we view our farms and how we implement grazing systems. This school will open your eyes to a whole new way of thinking about the land, plants, pastures, animals and their symbiotic relationships and how working with the rhythms of nature can heal the landscape, your bank account and your community. We will cover a wide range of topics from the details of grazing to the big picture of building a local food system starting with developing scenic, profitable and highly productive models for local farms.
Some of the points to be covered are:
- Getting started with fence, water, grass
- Managing cow stocking rates and stock density as the most important grazing tool
- Maximizing solar energy capture
- Importance of post-grazing residual
- When and how long to allow pastures to grow and recover after grazing (stockpiling)
- How to keep animal performance high
- How to avoid costly mistakes in grazing
- How to drastically cut your operating costs and inputs
- How to finish beef and lamb on grass
- The Ins and Outs of High density (mob grazing) mimicking the herd effect of our native Bison.
- How to market your products

Our Artisan Farmstead Cheeses: Cumberland and Coppinger
Cumberland: Simple, rustic tomme, inspired by the French "tomme de Savoie." Aged 90 days and has a natural rind which is the mosaic of different yeasts, molds and other micro-flora that are allowed to grow wild. This process is a lot like growing a garden in that what grows on the cheese is a reflection of what is in the milk, almost like soil. Some of these organisms are inoculated and some are wild, but they are all allowed to express themselves and all contribute to the character of this cheese. Therefore, the character of the tomme will change as the milk changes throughout the year and the changing of the seasons. The flavor is buttery and earthy with a tangy grassy note, and hints of macadamia nut. It is named for the Cumberland Plateau, which envelops the farm on three sides.
Coppinger: Washed rind cheese, inspired by French Morbier and Raclette. Aged 120 days and washed with the house morge (cocktail of selected cultures and brine) on a regular basis throughout the ripening period. Its flavor is balanced, often with sweet & nutty overtones and a smooth, supple texture. It's made exclusively with raw cow's milk produced at Sequatchie Cove Farm, which is located in Coppinger Cove, from which it gets it's name. This cheese is still a work in progress, and each batch will vary slightly, as we are still developing the final product. In fact, the feedback we get from customers who taste this cheese will significantly affect the direction we take with perfecting Coppinger over the next year. Tasting cheese is an exploratory experience and we are excited to share this cheese in its developmental stage.

Greatest Hits
No one wants to fall prey to a city's tourist traps, but some of Rio's highlights are worth braving the crowds for. The iconic open-armed Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado has kept watch from its post since 1931. Pilgrimages there have always been popular—less for the spiritual enlightenment than for the 360-degree city views. Thanks to a new series of inconspicuous elevators and escalators, the 220-stair climb is now optional. • It seems only natural that this futebol-obsessed nation—5 out of 18 World Cup titles, and a bid to host the tournament in 2010—should be home to the world's biggest temple to the sport, Maracanã Stadium (Avda. Maracanã; 55-21/2568-9962). Take a tour of the 110,000-seat space ($1), visit the ode-to-soccer museum at gate No. 16, or, best of all, watch a game (schedules are listed in the newspaper; tickets are $7-$17) • Splashing water, creaking bamboo, and the crunch of gravel underfoot—that's as loud as it gets at Jardim Botânico (1008 Rua Jardim Botânico; 55-21/2294-9349), a lush landscape stretching over 340 acres. Among the 7,200 plant species are a cavalcade of 161-year-old imperial palms and, in the Orchiderio section, hundreds of endangered orchids, all part of the garden's program to reintroduce the bloom to the area. • For a truly breathtaking experience, take off by hang glider from Pedra Bonita in São Conrado and soar over treetops, mansions, and sunbathers basking on Pepino Beach. You'll be in good hands with brothers Paulo and Roni Falcão of Rio Tandem Fly (55-21/2422-6371; www.riotandemfly.com.br; $80 per person). • Santa Teresa is a steep, hilly village populated with clattering bonde (streetcars), century-old houses, vintage bars, and artists' workshops, 50 of which open their doors to visitors one weekend in March and October during Open House Art (www.artedeportasabertas.com.br). For lunch, and the best view of Guanabara Bay, reserve the corner table on the terrace of the cliff-hugging Aprazivel (62 Rua Aprazivel; 55-21/2508-9174; open Thursday-Sunday). • Oscar Niemeyer, Brazil's own Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the striking Museu de Arte Contemporânea (Mirante da Boa Viagem, Niterói; 55-21/2620-2400; www.macniteroi.com.br). The UFO-shaped structure houses more than 1,000 works by contemporary regional artists and offers amazing panoramas of Niterói and its surroundings.
The most stylish boutiques in Rio are clustered at the crossroads of Ipanema's Anibal de Mendonça and Garcia d'Ávila, as well as Visconde de Pirajá and Barão da Torre. Snap up the best local and European labels at São Conrado Fashion Mall (899 Estrada da Gávea; 55-21/3083-0300), or at the many boutiques scattered around the city. • Ten years ago, professional surfer Fred d'Orey added some splash to the surfing scene when he launched a line of funky men's trunks with bold prints in his store, Totem Beach (Fashion Mall, Ipanema 2000, Shopping da Gávea, and BarraShopping; www.totempraia.com.br). "We can't compete with urban fashion, but here in Rio, we know beachwear," says d'Orey, who eventually developed clothing for women and children that includes spirited tunics, pants, shorts, bikinis, trunks, and cangas. • Mixed (476 Rua Visconde de Pirajá, Ipanema; 55-21/2259-0934; www.mixed.com.br) may have originated in São Paulo, but trendy Cariocas consider the place their own. This season, sibling owners and designers Rodrigo and Riccy Trussardi have introduced a collection of miniskirts and pants adorned with Hawaiian-style flowers; chiffon blouses; and pencil pants. • Sollas (68 Rua Henrique Dumont, Ipanema, and 48 Rua Sete de Setembro, Centro; 55-21/2511-6567) is packed with shoes, simple flats, and funky platforms and fabric slip-ons designed by owner Carla Guglielmetti. There's also a counter full of bangly anklets, toe rings, and other fancy foot accessories to match. • One-stop shopping at Galeria Ipanema Secreta (371 Rua Visconde de Pirajá), a not-so-secret second-floor gallery of shops opposite Praça Nossa Señora da Paz, means sexy sling-backs and stilettos by the 25-year-old shoe goddess Constança Basto, as well as candles of all shapes and sizes at Candle Design. • Designer-goldsmith Antonio Bernardo, who specializes in one-of-a-kind gem cuts, has created a cultlike following with his exquisitely simple gold bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. His work is displayed in four boutiques around the city; of Bernardo's two Ipanema addresses, the Pirajá outpost offers the largest and best selection (351 Visconde de Pirajá; 55-21/2523-3192; www.antoniobernardo.com.br).
Next Great Neighborhood Baixo Leblon
This once-bohemian area is where the fashionable girls from Ipanema (and all their followers) like to party. • At Melt (47 Rua Rita Ludolf; 55-21/2249-9309), live music plays while the crowd lingers over caipirinhas and Brazilian-Asian dishes. • A foodie's paradise, Garcia & Rodrigues (1251 Avda. Ataulfo de Paiva; 55-21/2512-8188) has a bakery, café, wineshop, and restaurant. • Don't miss Bracarense (85B Rua José Linhares; 55-21/2294-3549) and Jobi (1166 Avda. Ataulfo de Paiva; 55-21/2274-0547), 1950's watering holes that serve up cold beer with croquettes. • Chef Felipe Bronze, formerly of Nobu and Le Bernardin, blends French and Asian cuisines to produce teriyaki-glazed foie gras at Zuka (233 Rua Dias Ferreira; 55-21/3205-7154; dinner for two $50). • With 500 types of cachaça, Academia da Cachaça (26 Rua Conde Bernadotte; 55-21/2493-7956) is the place to sip Brazil's national drink.
Seu Jorge ACTOR, SINGER, AND MUSICIAN
GET INTO THE GROOVE "Samba is the soul of Rio. Go to Lapa, a downtown neighborhood packed with bars and pulsating music, to hear the newest and best of it."
DANCE FEVER "Rio Scenarium [20 Rua do Lavradio; 55-21/3852-5516], a huge antiques emporium, turns into party central Tuesday through Saturday with live samba and chorinho [an instrumental style that fuses European and Afro-Brazilian traditions]."
HOT TRACKS "Modern Sound [502D Rua Barata Ribeiro; 55-21/2548-5005; www.modernsound.com.br], in Copacabana, and Tracks [140 Praça Santos Dumont; 55-21/2274-7182], in Gávea, have the best choice of Brazilian pop and alternative albums.

NPR featured an interview with famed composer John Williams, who was done more memorable movie scores (the music that plays during a movie) than most others combined. You may not know his name, but you know his work the moment you hear a few notes from movie franchises such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park, just to name a few. A few iconic notes from Jaws, and you'll think twice about swimming in the ocean!
His latest work on Steven Spielberg's Lincoln can be heard in theaters now, and NPR sat down with him to discuss how he composes the scores, what he thinks about retiring, and more. Click the Read link below to view the article and listen to the interview on NPR's web site.

text: A member of the Ruff Ryder's crew the Lox, Jadakiss is unambiguously hard, a sniveling rottweiler of rage with the full lexicon of gangsta signifiers in his verbal arsenal. On Kiss Tha Game Goodbye, his first solo album, Jadakiss unloads a full clip of odious ''Glocks and bitches'' clichés over pallid Goth-hop arrangements. Given the dynamism of his old band, Jadakiss' misogynist posturing seems beneath him.

"I make this cake at least once every summer, when fresh strawberries are in season. It's delicious! I found the recipe in a cook book titled, "A World of Baking"."
Serving Size: 1 (73 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 16
"This is the BEST strawberry cake recipe! Everyone loved it! I increased powdered sugar in glaze to a more frosting consistency--delicious!"
"Now this is some cake. My Mee-Maw used to make this. I am very happy to have found the recipe. I made this for Labor Day and it was such a hit. The fresh berries make this out of this world. Very rich and sweet. The cake was also nice and moist. Thanks for posting."
"YUM!. Made this and took it into work, everyone loved it. Will be making this cake regularly while strawberries are in season. Didn't need to change anything in this recipe. This is as good as the strawberry muffin recipe from this site."
"Amazing!!! I have made this twice to rave reviews. Thank you so much for sharing! I made it first exactly as directed and the second time did some tweaking. I too decreased the sugar to 1 1/2 c. instead of 1 1/2. Also to make it a bit fluffier, I increased the baking powder to 3 tsp. I also separated the egg yolks and whites. I added the yolks in step 3 (also added about 2 T water), then in a separate bowl, I beat the whites and folded them in gently at step 6, instead of beating for 2 minutes. THis did make the cakes a little fluffier. I used recipe #187817 for the filling between the cakes and topped with the glaze. Absolutely my new favorite cake!!!"
"Very dry. No one liked it. My husband choaked on it, it was so dry.It did not rise much. All my ingredients were fresh. I am looking for a flavorful, moist fresh strawberry cake."
"This was a good cake. Mine turned out kind of dry. I probably overcooked it a bit. I added more powdered sugar for icing instead of glaze. Don't add too much crushed strawberries to icing. It makes it very watery. I served it with fresh strawberries on the side. It was yummy!"
"This is NOT a normal cake. It's so dry, just as other reviewers have said. If you're looking for more of a shortbread or something maybe it would work for you. If not for the icing it wouldn't have had much strawberry flavor at all. My husband and I had a piece and threw the rest out. A shame to have wasted all those delicious strawberries. I was looking for something for my daughter's 1st birthday and was so excited to see this with 5 stars. I'm not sure what those people were enjoying. It was so heavy, so dry, so plain, no distinct flavor...certainly not strawberry. And it wasn't even pink! Very disappointed."
"I was expecting great things after reading the reviews but was fairly disappointed. I followed the recipe to the letter and found it to be a very average cake with a slightly weird texture (probably due to the flour/fat ratio). It was certainly not exceptional and I would probably find another way to use up strawberries in future."
"The perfect summer cake! It really has a wonderful light strawberry flavor, and the simplicity of the glaze just adds to the pure strawberry flavor of the cake. Thanks for a delicious recipe, Kim!"
"EXCELLENT CAKE. Didn't have to change a thing. My fiance and his buddy are downstairs devouring it right now. My mom makes this but I could never find the recipe online (I lost the copy she gave me!) I am so glad to have this. (I did use frozen strawberries, by the way. I used my judgment with the frosting.) Thanks for posting!"
"This was wonderful! I'm not sure what some of the reviewers are talking about the cake being too dry...the only thing I can think is they didn't sift the flour before measuring it. I almost did that and put about 1/3 cup flour back. I LOVED this cake - sending it to work with by boyfriend tomorrow. The strawberry flavor was perfect!"
"We had a bunch of strawberries from a picking outing and wanted to try something different. This was delish! And so simple. We added a lot more powdered sugar to the glaze to make an icing and what really made it over the top, the juice of half a lime in the icing. OMG. So fresh tasting!
We paired it with a scoop of Pistachio ice cream. An awesome pairing! I highly recommend it"
"This is the first time I've been compelled to write a review. This cake is amazing and so easy to make! So moist and delicious with fresh strawberry flavour. I served it at a dinner party recently and people thought I was a culinary genius."
"I had high hopes for this recipe. I wanted to make it for my daughter's first bday, but I really wasn't impressed. I like the strawberry flavor and the glaze is awesome. I didn't like the texture. It is too heavy and muffin like (as others have mentioned) I also found that it wasn't moist enough. Overall it was just ok."
"Alright, I like the flavor of the cake but the crumb/texture is dry and odd looking. It is not soft. I reduced the sugar to 1 cup. But everything else is the same."
"My first time making anything with strawberries, let alone fresh ones, and I am glad that I picked this recipe. So easy and delicious. Cake was moist, and tender. A little sweet so next time I would halve the sugar. There was a lot of glaze left, so I would halve that too. Wonderful recipe, thank you for sharing."
"Simply delicous! I made 6 small loaves instead of one cake, and gave them away as gifts with a chocolate-dipped strawberry on top. They were a huge hit and wonderful! The fresh strawberry taste really comes through!"
"Great cake! I kept one for ourselves and shared another with friends. We all liked it. I wasn't sure in the directions if I was supposed to stack the cakes for layers and the picture didn't look like it so I just gave the 2nd away. We love fresh strawberries and the flavor was super. The powdered sugar in my glaze was a bit on the lumpy side too, don't know what caused it but it did nothing to deter from the yummy taste. Glad we tried it!"
"After all these fabulous reviews, I confess I was a little disappointed. It was good, don't get me wrong. I used whole wheat flour, as I do for practically everything. I also cut the sugar way back - to 1 cup. With the glaze it was still on the borderline of being too sweet. I was also pretty generous with the strawberries, but I still didn't find the strawberry flavour all that pronounced. I had some problems with the glaze being lumpy; I suspect the butter could have been omitted. Still, this was a nice cake overall. "
"This cake tasted great!! :) My family loved it!! It's a great recipe!!! :)"

Cookbook and Go To Recipe(s)
posted by: oldbat2be on 04.06.2014 at 10:35 am in Kitchens Forum I find that with many of my cookbooks, I cook the same recipe again and again. I'd like to find other tried and true recipes, recipes you've made at least say 5 times and hoepfully closer to 50.
Please post the cook book name and recipe(s) you make regularly, the recipes which are worth 'buying the book' for. Hopefully others will already have the book(s) and will be tempted to try the recipes. The Top 100 Pasta Sauces (Diane Seed) - Tagliatelle or Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce - this is my go to tomato sauce. The Cake Bible - (Rose Levy Beranbaum). Perfect All-American Chocolate Butter Cake (uber quick), White Spice Pound Cake. Baking with Julia (Dorie Greenspan) - Baking Powder Biscuits. What's wonderful about these is you can turn the oven on, and by the time it reaches the correct temperature, you have the biscuits ready to go into the oven and everything cleaned up. A Matter of Taste (Junior League of Morristown NJ) - lots in here. Sesame Chicken with Honey Dip. Hot Mushroom Turnovers. Citrus Cup cocktail is quite good but I've only made 2-3 times. Macadamia Fudge cake and Chocoholics Dream are both wonderful. My notes on them respectively: 'Easy, Quick, Excellent; small but incredibly rich. Leaves you wanting another taste/piece' and 'Wonderfully rich - excellent and easy and quick! Can make up to a week ahead'. This post was edited by oldbat2be on Sun, Apr 6, 14 at 10:38 NOTES: <none>

Will Adjustable Drawer Divider be useful?
posted by: khallock on 03.15.2013 at 11:31 am in Kitchens Forum I am having 2 sets of Pot & Pan drawers. They will be 2-drawer stacks. I didnt want the skinny top drawer since they cuts down on the depth of the lower drawers.
I was going to have an adjustable drawer divider installed on 1 of the drawers. My thinking was for some plastic cutting boards, muffin pans, baking pans, etc... Does anyone know if items like this will fit in here? Stupid me didnt measure my pans at home to figure this out first and I am ordering this afternoon after work. Its only a $45 mistake if my pans dont fit. NOTES: <none>

Wrap Account
No, not the kind of account that Jay-Z opens just because he's Jay-Z. He might, but not because he's a (w)rapper. A wrap account is one where the broker manages the portfolio for an annual fee, usually based as a percentage of the assets in the account. The fee covers all administrative, commissions and other expenses (but usually does not cover any fees or charges imposed by an exchange or a regulatory body). The benefit of a wrap account is that it prevents investors from being swamped by commissions because they have a trigger-happy broker who trades like a lab rat on crack.
