Choosing Your New BLANCO Kitchen Sink
Helping You Choose The Right Kitchen Sink
The sink is the most frequently used appliance in your kitchen. In fact, 60% of the time spent in the kitchen is at the sink.
Rinsing vegetables, slicing and dicing, draining pasta, adding water to recipes, rinsing dishes, washing fine crystal, soaking pots and pans... it all happens at the sink. From food preparation to clean up, your sink is a hard working companion and a visual focal point; sure to be noticed by all who enter your kitchen.
It is important when choosing such a hard working appliance that you decide on a sink that is best suited to your needs and lifestyle. Below are some suggestions that should help you in making the right decision.
There are 3 steps to determining the kitchen sink that is best for you.
1. | Counter and cabinet size |
2. | Function and design options |
3. | Choice of sink material |

Ticks Abundant in Ohio
May 13, 2013
The Mansfield/Ontario/Richland County Health Department is issuing a warning about the abundance of ticks being reported in Richland County. Ticks are a health concern because they can transmit diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease along with other diseases.
Diseases are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected tick. In the United States, there are many types of ticks but only some of these are known to cause diseases. In Ohio, the most common ticks found are the American dog tick, the Lone Star tick and the brown dog tick. Recently, Ohio is reporting more of the black-legged ticks (aka the "deer tick") which can cause Lyme disease and anaplasmosis. Symptoms of the illnesses after a bite from an infected tick include high fever, headaches and aching muscles. Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be fatal and Lyme disease can cause long-term nervous system damage. Treatments and antibiotics are available for most tick-borne diseases if they are identified shortly after symptoms occur.
"Last year the unusually mild winter weather caused ticks to appear earlier and in greater numbers than we've seen in recent year and this year we are again getting early reports of ticks," said Matthew Work, Environmental Health Director at the Mansfield/Ontario/Richland County Health Department. "Hunters need to be particularly cautious and check for ticks on themselves or their clothing when returning from the field. People who have cats and dogs that go outside need to check their pets when they return inside the house."
For more information about ticks, see the following information:
Tick identification chart
Brochure on tick-borne diseases from the Ohio Department of Health
Update from OSU-Extension: http://extension.osu.edu/news-releases/archives/2013/May/out-for-blood-ticks-lyme-disease-cases-on-the-rise-in-ohio
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also has information on ticks at http://www.cdc.gov/ticks/disease
The Mansfield/Ontario/Richland County Health Department is urging caution with the prevalence of ticks in Richland County wooded areas. Use the following list for guidance:
Preventing Tick Bites
While it is a good idea to take preventive measures against ticks year-round, be extra vigilant in warmer months (April-September) when ticks are most active. Most tick encounters do not result in a disease as only an infected tick can cause disease, and they need to feed for several hours before transmitting the bacteria.
Avoid Direct Contact with Ticks
- Avoid wooded and bushy areas with high grass and leaf litter.
- Walk in the center of trails.
Repel Ticks with DEET or Permethrin
- Use repellents that contain 20% or more DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) on the exposed skin for protection that lasts up to several hours. Always follow product instructions. Parents should apply this product to their children, avoiding hands, eyes, and mouth.
- Use products that contain permethrin on clothing. Treat clothing and gear, such as boots, pants, socks and tents. It remains protective through several washings. Pre-treated clothing is available and remains protective for up to 70 washings.
Find and Remove Ticks from Your Body
- Bathe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors (preferably within two hours) to wash off and more easily find ticks that are crawling on you.
- Conduct a full-body tick check using a hand-held or full-length mirror to view all parts of your body upon return from tick-infested areas. Parents should check their children for ticks under the arms, in and around the ears, inside the belly button, behind the knees, between the legs, around the waist, and especially in their hair.
- Examine gear and pets. Ticks can ride into the home on clothing and pets, then attach to a person later, so carefully examine pets, coats, and day packs. Tumble clothes in a dryer on high heat for an hour to kill remaining ticks.
Importance in identifying ticks
IF you find a tick attached to you, it is important to carefully remove the tick without damaging it, and having it identified to determine the type of tick. Ticks can be brought to our department for identification. Make a note of the date it was found and notify your doctor if symptoms occur.
Tick Removal
If you find a tick attached to your skin, there's no need to panic. If the tick is flat, it has not fed long, if at all. There are several tick removal devices on the market, but a plain set of fine-tipped tweezers can be carefully used to remove a tick. Try to prevent damage to the tick and put it in a small container or plastic bag with a few pieces of grass for moisture, so it can be identified.
How to remove a tick
- Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible.
- Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don't twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
- After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.
Sounds like you are doing all the right things to make sure you and you family and your pets stay free of ticks. Good job. Getting bit by an infected tick is rare but getting them off as soon as you find them (and checking pets and each other) is the best preventative measure. Hope your dog is doing okay.
We ran this story up on the website when I saw a few of my friends posting about ticks on Facebook. My wife and I live is a wooded area and our two outside cats are always transporting them in. My wife had one that burrowed in on her right shoulder and after removal she developed a red spot. Headaches and muscle soreness followed. Those are signs to follow up with a doctor which we did. If you have any possible symptoms, see a doctor immediately. Error on the side of caution. The Health Department is NOT identifying ticks. If you remove one from yourself or family member, watch for any symptoms.
Thank you for all the great info

Services For Health Plans
Through a partnership with The CHP Group, health plans who are facing increasing pressures related to the cost of medical care – and consequently insurance premiums – can find complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) benefits that help to mitigate claims costs while promoting the health and wellness of the health plan population.
The CHP Group offers our streamlined services to seamlessly administer CAM benefits. Our unique proprietary utilization management model ensures members receive treatment from highly qualified providers who promote care that is evidence-based, therapeutically-effective and cost-effective.
A Complete CAM Solution is one that gives our customers what they need in complementary and alternative medicine – a partner they can trust, a high-quality network of credentialed providers, satisfied members, and measurable cost savings. The components shown below can be combined to create a variety of scalable solutions. When all the components are implemented our customers achieve the greatest value. We pride ourselves on our ability to build and maintain mutually beneficial partnerships with our health plan customers and facilitate a variety of funding arrangements based on the goals our customers have for meeting their CAM needs – including Administrative Services Only, Shared Savings, Partially Capitated or Capitated Arrangements.
Consulting – Take advantage of The CHP Group's expertise in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). We help our health plan customers develop complete CAM solutions that provide your members access to high-quality, evidence-based CAM health care. More importantly, our consultation spotlights network management and provider reimbursement strategies that ensure care is delivered in a therapeutically-rational and cost-conscious manner. Consulting services include:
- Benefit Plan Design
- Fee Schedule
- CAM Best Practices
- Clinical Pathways
- Fraud and Abuse Detection Practices
- Provider Reimbursement Strategies
- Transition Planning
- Claims Analysis
Network Strategy – Our CAM network approach effectively serves the needs of our health plan partners by addressing three specific areas: Cost Containment, Patient Satisfaction, and Provider Participation.
CHP is committed to partnering with only the highest caliber providers in each of the four disciplines represented in our network (chiropractic, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture and massage therapy). We are keenly aware of the number of providers necessary to serve a given population and, conversely, that too many providers in an area may actually compromise quality and drive unnecessary utilization. Let our experts help design your network to produce the best therapeutic and financial outcomes.
Claims Administration – CHP provides sophisticated administrative services for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) claims in an accurate, prompt, and cost-effective manner. Leveraging our expertise in this segment, we have configured a claims system embedded with a series of unique rules and edits specific to CAM services. Our proprietary claims systems produce unmatched results that include:
- Identification of coding and claims submission errors
- Eligibility Management
- Detection of combinations of therapeutic services that may compromise the quality and efficacy of care
- Analysis of medical necessity determination and plan benefit limitations
- Determination of utilization trends that deviate from accepted norms
- Detection of potential fraud and abuse
Medical Management – CHP is dedicated to continuous quality improvement in the management of our network to optimize the value of the programs and services that we provide to our health plan partners. We have built a multi-faceted Quality Management System designed to monitor many aspects of our network providers' practices, including treatment patterns, administrative capabilities, clinical documentation, and patient safety. We make certain our requirements are clear, consistent and fair so our providers know what we expect.
Our Utilization Management program ultimately ensures the following expectations are consistently met:
- Medically necessary services are delivered
- Medically unnecessary services are constrained
- Under-utilization of medically necessary services is avoided
Customer Care – Building and retaining strong relationships with our customers is the backbone of our company. When we are chosen to act as a health plan partner, we understand that your members have come to expect exemplary service. We treat our clients' members the same way we treat our own – with care and professionalism. Our team of Customer Service Representatives is expertly trained in CAM benefit plan design structures, Common Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes and claims payment administration. This in-depth knowledge can prove invaluable to members and normally results in first call resolution to any issues. We maintain appropriate staffing levels to ensure accessibility for members during regular business hours. Other customer services we provide include:
- Eligibility confirmation
- Benefit plan explanation
- Provider information
- Claims and EOB
- Reporting
- Complaint resolution
- Account Management
CAM Wellness Programs – Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is an exceptional fit within the wellness framework. CHP has developed the following CAM wellness programs, which can be implemented as stand-alone benefits or added as components to a larger CAM solution:
- The CHP CAMaffinity Program encourages members to explore less invasive and less expensive treatment options by arranging discounts for CAM services through our network of high-quality providers
- The CHP Active and Healthy Program provides access to thousands of discounted opportunities designed to get members moving and having fun!
- The CHP CAMplus Program combines the benefits of The CHP CAMaffinity Program and The CHP Active and Healthy Program

Dicey, Edward. Six Months in the Federal States, Vol. II . London: MacMillan and Co., 1863. [format: book], [genre: travelogue]. Permission: Newberry Library
I HAPPENED, while in Boston, to see a good deal of the literary society of the place. Let me say something of the men whose writings I, in common with most Englishmen, had learnt to know long ago; and whose faces then, for the first time, became as familiar to me as their names. I am afraid that to most English readers the name of Concord will recall no national reverses. We have a remarkable talent as a nation for forgetting what is unpleasant to remember, but still the fact remains that at Concord a British regiment did run away before a rabble of American volunteers. Our loss consisted of two men killed, whose names have been long forgotten. This was the first armed resistance raised by the Colonists against the imperial troops, and a little obelisk has been erected beside the nameless graves of these two British privates to record the first blow struck in behalf of American independence. A low stunted avenue leads from the Boston high-road to the bank of the Concord River. Along this avenue the British troops advanced and retreated, and on the bank of the river stands a squat dumpy obelisk of the Georgian era. Close to the avenue is the Old Manse, from which Hawthorne culled the mosses. Sitting one summer day by the side of that lazy stream, the author of "The Scarlet Letter" told me a story of the battle which was new to me. When the galling fire of the enemy from the opposite bank caused our troops to retire, the two British soldiers who fell at Concord were not both killed. One of them was only wounded, but in the hurry of the retreat was left for dead on the field. As the British troops withdrew, a farming lad, employed at the Old Manse, came out to look at the scene of the battle. He had an axe with him, and, holding it in his hand, he stole alongside the wounded soldiers, whom he believed to be dead. Just as he got near, the one who was still alive raised himself upon his hands and knees, and began to look about him. The boy in an agony of fear fancied that the man was going to fire, and, striking at him with the axe, cut open his skull, and then fled in terror. Shortly afterwards, some British soldiers, returning to carry off the wounded, found their comrade with his head split in two, and raised the cry that the Americans scalped dead. The cry spread through the regiment and created a panic, under whose influence the soldiers took to their heels and fled. The boy grew to be a very old man, and died not many years ago, and, as he grew infirm and old, the thought that he had killed a wounded man in cold blood haunted him to his grave. If the village tradition be true, it is a curious instance of what great events are produced by the smallest causes. The American revolution sprang into being from the defeat of the British troops at Concord; the British were defeated because our soldiers were struck with panic; and the panic was caused because a timid lad happened to have an axe in his hand. But Concord has nearer and dearer claims to the thoughts of all English-speaking people than the memory of an obscure battle. It is the home of Emerson and Hawthorne. An old-fashioned, sleepy, New England village; one broad, long, rambling street of wooden houses, standing, for the most apart, and overshadowed by leafy trees; a quiet village-green or two; shady, dreamy-looking graveyards, filled with old moss-covered tombstones of colonists who lived and died subjects of the Crown of England; a rich, marshy valley, hemmed in by low-wooded hills; and a dull, lazy stream, oozing on so slowly through many turnings, that you fancy it is afraid of being carried out to the ocean that awaits it a few miles away; these are the outward memorabilia of Concord. Passing through the village, you come to a roomy country-house, buried almost beneath trees, and looking the model of a quiet English parsonage; and then, entering it, it must be some fault of your own, if you are not welcome at the kindly home of Emerson. His is not a face or figure to which photographs can do justice. The tall spare form, the strongly-marked features, and the thin scanty hair, are all, to the English mind, typical, as it were, of that distinct American nationality, of which Mr. Emerson has been the ablest, if not the first exponent. In repose, I fancy, his prevailing expression would be somewhat grave, with a shade of sadness; but the true charm of his face can be learnt only if you hear him speaking. Then, when the "slow wise smile," as some one well called it, plays about that grim-set mouth, and the flow of those lucid sentences, so simple and yet so perfect, pours forth in calm, measured sequence, the large liquid eyes seem to kindle with a magnetic light, and you feel yourself in the presence of a living power. You may sit at his feet or not that is a matter for your own judgment, but a Gamaliel is there. Hearing him thus speak, I understood, better than I had learnt from his writings, the influence which Mr. Emerson has wielded over the mind of America, and how Concord has become a kind of Mecca, of which the representative man of American thought is the Mahomet. Some quarter of a mile further on, hidden almost by the overhanging hill at whose foot it stands, out of sight and hearing of the village-world, you come to the home of Mr. Hawthorne a quaint, rambling, pleasant house, which appears to have grown no one knows how, as some houses do, and to have culminated mysteriously in an Italian campanile tower; so that it is rather a tower with a house attached, than a house surmounted by a tower. It is a fitting place for a romancer to have fixed his dwelling in. Right above the house there stretches a pine wood, so quiet and so lonely, so full of fading lights and shadows, and through whose trees the wind sighs so fitfully, that it seems natural for all quaint fancies and strange memories to rise there unbidden. As to the tenant of the turret and the pine-wood, I could not, if I wished, describe him better than by saying that he is just what, not knowing him, you fancy the author of "The Scarlet Letter" ought to look like. I suppose that most persons form an idea to themselves of the outward look and aspect of any author they have learnt to care for; and I know that, as far as my own experience goes, the idea is but seldom realized. The author, when at last you meet with him in the flesh, may be better than your idea, but he is not the person you had pictured to yourself and dwelt on fondly. Now, if you were to place Mr. Hawthorne amongst a thousand persons, I think any one that had read his writings would guess at once, amongst all that crowd, which the author was. The grand, broad forehead; the soft wavy hair, tangling itself so carelessly; the bright dreamy hazel eyes, flashing from beneath the deep massive eyebrows; and the sweet smile, so full at once of sad pathos and kindly humour, all formed for me the features one would have dreamed of for the author, who, more than any living writer, has understood the poetry of prose. It is a fancy of mine a fancy inspired, perhaps, by the atmosphere in which I formed it that Nature, when she began to make Mr. Hawthorne, designed him for a man of action, and then, ere the work was done, she changed her mind, and sought to transform him into a poet, and that thus the combination of the two characters of the worker and the dreamer came out at last in the form of the writer of romance. Well, if Concord had been the scene of an English Waterloo, I am afraid I should still think of it with the kindliest of memories should, indeed, remember it only as the dwelling-place of men who have won fresh triumphs for English words, triumphs to me far dearer than those of English arms. It was my fortune, too, to see though but for a short period, the great poet of America. Of all pleasant summer-houses, the houses round Boston seemed to me the pleasantest; and of such houses I know of none pleasanter than the one standing on the Mount Auburn Road, where General Washington used to dwell, and where Longfellow dwells now. The pleasant lawn, the graceful rooms, filled with books and pictures and works of art, formed the fit abode for the poet who has known so well how to use the sweet stately rhythm of the English hexameter; and of that abode the host, with his graceful manners, his refined and noble countenance, and his conversation, so full of learning and poetic diction, seems the rightful owner. But of this I would say nothing further, for I felt that, if I was in the presence of a great poet, I was in the presence also of a greater sorrow. I have said thus much of the three great American writers, whose names are best known in England. Like all men of genius, they are in some sense public property; and the public has, I think, a right to know something of how they look and live. Genius has penalties as well as privileges. Of the many other men of talent and writers of note, whom it was my pleasure to meet with in America, and especially in New England, I say nothing, because I doubt whether I should be justified in so doing. A private has a right, perhaps, to criticise the Commander-in-Chief, but I doubt if he is entitled to sit in judgment on the Colonels. Like any other Englishman who has visited America with any sort of credentials, I was received into the intimacy, and I trust I may add, the friendship of many literary men in that country. I feel, that if, as there seems too much likelihood, it should become the custom for an English visitor to give a sort of moral auctioneer's catalogue of the houses, establishments, habits and customs of his hosts, then this friendly welcome must be dispensed with ere long. I have therefore made it my endeavour, in these pages, to quote nothing which I learnt in the character of a visitor, not of a spectator. There are two American writers, however, of whom I would say one word in passing, and they are Mr. Lowell, the author of the "Biglow Papers," and Mr. Holmes, the creator of "Elsie Venner." When America has completed her great mission of settling the New World, I cannot doubt that the wonderful energy and power of her people will produce a characteristic national literature worthy of herself, and, I say it without boasting, of the mother country also. In the works of these two gentlemen, I think you can discover the first commencement of a distinct era of American literature. The first has created a new school of poetry the poetry of common Yankee life; the second has opened out a new vein of romance in the relations of physiology to the development of character. Both these writers have at least so I fancy a greater career before them than they have yet accomplished. Let me say also, in concluding these scattered remarks on the literary men of Boston, that what struck me most about them collectively was the degree of intimacy and cordiality on which they lived with one another. To any one who knows anything of the literary world in England, it will seem a remarkable fact that all men of intellectual note in Boston should meet regularly once a month, of their own free will and pleasure, to dine with each other; and still more so, that they should meet as friends, not as rivals. No doubt, this absence of jealousy is due, in great measure, to the literary field of America being so little occupied, that there is nothing like the same competition between authors as there is with us; but it is due, I think, chiefly to that general kindliness and good-nature which appear to me characteristic, socially, of the American people.

In a hearing on Capitol Hill, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores told legislators that community pharmacies stand ready to take an active role as the nation prepares for the H1N1 "swine flu" pandemic.
Retail News Breaks Archives
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – In a hearing on Capitol Hill, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores told legislators that community pharmacies stand ready to take an active role as the nation prepares for the H1N1 "swine flu" pandemic.
NACDS said that on Wednesday it submitted an official statement as part of a House Committee on Energy and Commerce joint subcommittee hearing on "H1N1 Preparedness: An Overview of Vaccine Production and Distribution."
In the statement, the association outlined the industry's commitment to patient health and safety as well as its efforts to address the H1N1 pandemic.
"Community pharmacies are uniquely capable of immunizing large numbers of people, thanks to their convenient locations, easy access during evenings and weekends, and specially trained pharmacists. The laws in all 50 states authorize pharmacists to administer vaccinations," the statement read.
"Pharmacies also provide oral antiviral medications and ancillary health care supplies, such as hand sanitizers, as well as retail health clinics offering additional health care services in many locations," the letter stated.
NACDS also noted that over the summer, drug store chains initiated plans to support public health H1N1 efforts, namely for the administration of H1N1 vaccine and the distribution of oral antiviral agents.
In additon, the association said it held a stakeholder workgroup meeting with pharmacy representatives and other organizations and produced the "Operational Framework for Partnering with Pharmacies for Administration of 2009 H1N1 Vaccine," a document published by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials to serve as a guide to state and territorial health officials.
"We are pleased to report that the potential contribution of community pharmacies has been well-recognized in public health pandemic plans," the statement read. "Community pharmacies have enrolled broadly as H1N1 vaccine providers in state provider networks. Several states have issued emergency orders to expand the ability of pharmacists to administer H1N1 vaccine, such as by lowering the age limits and streamlining H1N1 vaccination protocols. Many state Medicaid programs issued rules to reimburse pharmacies for administering H1N1 vaccine to beneficiaries. Community pharmacies prepared their pharmacists and contract vendors to receive and administer H1N1 vaccine and now await delivery of the vaccine for administration to priority patient groups."
The NACDS statement also cited some challenges. "The wide variety of state and local H1N1 vaccination processes and restrictions have added complexity to community pharmacy support, and we would recommend a more uniform process in the future," it said. "The uncertainty of product delivery, including the lack in advance identification of which product type and quantities will be delivered, and the undefined delivery schedule make it difficult to schedule vaccination services."

RANMA ½ was an anime I was more… peripherally aware of in middle school. One of my friends, who'd also lived in Asia, was a big fan of the show, and I caught the odd episode on a few occasions when I hung out at his place. Never got the chance to dive in fully, and thus, it's remained a series I've only just known the general gist of. So, when the publicity stills of the live-action movie made the rounds a year or two, I knew who the characters were. And when there was that little tempest-in-a-teapot controversy about SHE-ZOW earlier this year, I could see the rather innocuous parallels to RANMA.
In short: the show's revival, return or repressing - - or whatever the appropriate term is - - is coming at the right time for me.
What strikes me about this pilot, right away, is that it's legitimately funny. And that's actually almost frustrating, because it really shows chibi has escalated over the years into the nuisance it's become. When Ranma, Akane or even our big ol' panda go super-deformed, they actually only semi-deformed, and their 'transformations' are finished as soon as they've made their point. Y'know, they're brief - - as good timing in comedy generally dictates.
I can only imagine how the show's best joke - - Akane shrieking over Ranma's naughty bits after politely keeping quiet about it for some tense beats - - would play today. She probably would've screamed right away, and turned into a little troll, and the whole gag would've been far less funny…. but I digress.
This pilot episode also demonstrates a rule that most successful shonen series know to abide by - - it sets the situation up swiftly. I was just marveling at how adroitly the show was able to introduce the whole cast and explain the body switching predicament by dolling the information out in careful steps that were funny and surprising, but also sharp about how they'd keep you watching.
I guess this is a little more... academic breakdown for RANMA, but it the pilot's just so well-constructed. I'm definitely mulling over using this space to finally watch the rest of the series.
Watch this episode, "The Strange Stranger from China" here and decide for yourself.

Dade (Judge Dade), was the only son of Langhorne a nd Sarah Ashton, daughter of Col. Henry Ashton and Jane Alexander. The fir st of the Ashton family was Col. Peter, who died in 1669 in Stafford, a nd was one of the earliest, most substantial and influential of the coloni sts on the Potomac. By his will he devised his estate, called "Chatterdon ," on the Potomac, to his brother James Ashton of Kinsley, Underwood, in L incolnshire, England and two thousand acres adjoining thereto, to his brot her John Ashton of South, Lincolnshire. It is probable both these ca me to Virginia, as the connection of the present Ashtons is not easily tra ced. I cannot go farther than mouth of Naomi, a part of which he devised to h is daughter Grace, who intermarried with Phillip Lee of Blenheim, Marylan d. From an ejectment brought by Couter, one of his descendants, in the Sup erior Court of Westmore, I ascertain this fact. It is said the Ashtons a nd Alexanders intermarried early and often and the circumstance of Old Jo hn Alexander having made Charles Ashton his executor, corroborates this re port. The above table was made out, from the old records of Stafford Count y. The tradition of the ancestor of the family being the celebrated Cap t. John Smith is, of course, oral. It seems very improbable and yet I ha ve understood from the family that it was generally believed. The first no tice I have of Maj. John Smith, whose true name was Dade, and he was certa inly the head of the family, is a deed from Robt. Pylandor Ryland, to hi m, recorded in Northumberland County as early as 1665, and a deed from Ger vis Dodson to him, for land in Stafford, in 1654. I cannot ascertain wh en he died. Capt. John Smith was living in England between 1643 and 165 0, he being notoriously attached to the Stuarts and the marriage of his s on with a family so respectable as the Townshend, repels the idea of his h aving been obscene; but to satisfy myself, I have carefully examined the c riminal records of the old General Court to see if the name had been chang ed on account of a criminal prosecution, but could find nothing to counten ance the idea. The above Francis Dade, son of John Dade (sometimes call ed Smith), left four sons, namely, Robert, who died before 1714; Townshen d, Francis and Cadwallader. See their acquittance to Daniel French, who ma rried Robert's widow (H 144). Townshend Dade married the daughter of Phil ip Alexander (see Lib. H 272). Frances Townshend Dade, daughter of Col. Ro bert Townshend and widow of Francis Dade, married Col. Rice Hooe of Virgin ia. The other daughter, Mary Townshend, married Col. John Washington. T he Townshend patent bears date 17th Feb. 1750. (H. 173-194-5-6-7-8.) The d eed recorded in above pages, gives estates entailed, in the Townshend pate nt, to Francis, Cadwallader and Townshend Dade. These deeds bear date in 1 715. Mary Townshend married Col. John Washington, and in 1727 conveyed a p art of the Townshend patent to her son, John Washington ... ||| Posted By: Benjamin T.

This is still the best account of the family th at I have found. In his article, Mr. Fitzhugh attempted to clear up some of the misconcepti ons concerning the Ashton Family of Westmoreland/King George/Stafford. O ne of these was that Capt. John Ashton of Westmoreland was a son of Charl es Ashton of Northumberland County. Mr. Fitzhugh quoted records that show ed that this could not have been the case since they were contemporarie s, born about the same time. Your statement that Charles Ashton was a brot her of Col. Peter Ashton is not supported by the records. The records show ed that Peter Ashton had brothers named James and John (another John). Recent discovery of an indenture in one of the retrieved deed books of Sta fford County (stolen during the Civil War) showed that Charles Ashton w as the father of Jane Ashton Lamkin Partridge and Sarah Ashton English. Th is identified the Jane and Sarah Ashton, who were mentioned in the wi ll of their grandfather, William Smith of Westmoreland County, in 170 7. I believe that the Charles Ashton who married a daughter of William Smi th was the eldest son of Capt.John Ashton of Westmoreland County and th at she was his second wife. This Charles Ashton was married four times: Fr ances Burdett, ______ Smith, Ann Wickliffe Washington and Margaret Field C ossum Hart. It is known that Charles Asthon of Northumberland County had a son John an d, perhaps, another son Charles. It must have been this, Charles, who le ft a wife named Ann. This would explain the record which you quoted concer ning Ann Ashton testifying that her husband died intestate. As far as know n, these Ashtons had no interest in land in Westmoreland, King George or S tafford County; and, therefore, it is unlikely that this Charles was the f ather of Jane and Sarah. He may have been the Charles Ashton who married t he widow of Henry Harding of Northumberland County. Posted By: Benjamin T.

The na mes were typical of this branch of the Ashton (Assheton) Family, which des cended from Edmund Assheton, who married Joanna Radclyffe of Chadderton, L ancs. No records have yet been found to confirm this. Some researchers ha ve confused Captain John Ashton of Westmoreland County, VA, with the thi rd brother, above; but Virginia records show clearly that this was not t he same individual (see the article by Norman Fitzhugh in The William a nd Mary Quarterly, Second Series, Volume XIV, No. 2, pp. 151-164). Another contemporary of Peter and Captain John Ashton in Virginia was Char les Ashton of Northumberland County. Since Captain John named his elder s on Charles, some relationship was suggested between the latter two Ashto ns (perhaps they were brothers and perhaps they were related to Peter, Jam es and John; since they all lived in close proximity in Westmoreland and S tafford counties, in Virginia); but no connection has yet been found. Sorry that I can't answer your question specifically. My mother was an Ash ton, a descendant of Captain John; and so I have done some research.

[] Re: Elkins and Bryant Family Connections (17th/18th century Virginia) Posted by: Douglas Beahm (ID *****3725) Date: January 31, 2003 at 10:27: 20 Richard Elkins ( - 1733) married Elizabeth Bryant. This can be establish ed by the will of Elizabeth's father, Richard Bryant (April 5, 1703; prov ed in Stafford Co., VA May 15, 1704). This will also mentions his grandso n, Richard Elkins, aged less than six. From a deposition that Richard Elki ns (Jr.) gave in 1746, his birth date was appoximately 1699. I have se en a marriage date for Richard Elkins and Elizabeth Bryant listed as Janua ry 1694/5. I have not found a document to confirm this, however, since the ir eldest son was born about 1699, it is reasonable to assume that they we re married no later than 1698. In his will, Richard Bryan ( - ca 1704) provided limiting ages (eg. less t han 21) for all of his children except for Elizabeth and his step-son Will iam Redmond. Assuming that Elizabeth was 21 when her father's will was wri tten in 1703, then she would have been married when she was no older th an 16 and seventeen when she gave birth to her first child. These ages a re possible, but probably skewed a little to the low end of the range bas ed on the normal practices of that time. Several people have alleged that the widow of Richard Bryan ( - ca 1704 ), and the mother of his children, was Anne Meese, daughter of Col. Hen ry Meese. This SPECULATION is based on the fact that Nathaniel Bryant, eld est surviving son of Richard Bryan ( - ca 1704), left his fairly small est ate to Mary (Grigsby) Meese, widow of John Meese, by will in March 1732/ 3. John Meese was one of four children mentioned in the will of Col. Hen ry Meese in January 1681/82. The will of Col. Henry Meese states the follo wing: I give leave and bequeath unto and amongst my four children Henry Meese Jo hn Meese Anne Meese and Frances equally to be divided between them share a nd share thereof alike To be paid to my sonnes at their severall and respe ctive ages of one and twenty years and to my daughters at their severall a nd respective ages of one and twenty years or on their severall and respec tive day or marryage first severally and respectively happening From the will of Col. Henry Meese it is clear that his daughter, Anne Mees e, was less than 21 in January 1681/82 (born after January 1660/1) and STI LL unmarrried. It is not stated in the will, but it is reasonable to assum e, that the unmarried daughters of Col. Henry Meese were living in Engla nd with or near their father in January 1681/82 rather than in Virginia. S ince Elizabeth Bryant was unlikely to have been born after 1682, it is ext remely unlikely that Richard Bryant would have married and had his first d aughter with Anne Meese prior to 1683. The probate of the will of Richard Bryant ( - ca 1704) names his wife as A nn Bryant. The will states the following two interesting points: Item I give unto my son Richard Bryant all my Lands which I enjoy in Virgi nia his Mother ?having her Life holy upon the Plantation where I now li ve as long as she Lives ... and that he shall be free the Christmas day af ter he is 18 and for himself then to receive his Legacys and if his afores aid Mother again and he and her husband cannot agree then for my son Richa rd Bryant to remove to the Plantation where Samuel Burton liveth ... Item it is my Will that my Son in Law [N.B. stepson] William Redmo nd if he will shall live upon the Plantation whereon his Mother lives sev en years Rent free or upon the Plantation where Samuel Burton now liveth From the will it appears clear that Richard Bryant ( - ca 1704) had marri ed a widow, who alread had a son, William Redmond. This makes it even mo re clear that she could not have been the daughter of Col. Henry Meese. [] |

Chocolate Eclair Hearts
From Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
Why not bake some sweet hearts for your sweetheart? In a twist on traditional oblong eclairs, the light French pastry known as pâte à choux is piped into heart shapes and filled with milk-chocolate whipped cream. Topped with a glossy layer of dark chocolate glaze, these treats are perfect after a dinner party or dining à deux. Unfilled, uncut hearts can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to three days; reheat in a 350-degree oven until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes, then let cool before using. The filling can be made through step 7 and refrigerated overnight.

Pâte à Choux
- Vegetable-oil cooking spray
- 1.25 cup(s) bread flour
- 1/4 cup(s) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon(s) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder (combined with above)
- 1.25 cup(s) whole milk
- 1/2 cup(s) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- 1/4 cup(s) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounce(s) best-quality milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 cup(s) heavy cream
- 3 tablespoon(s) granulated sugar
- 9 ounce(s) (about 61% cocoa) best-quality bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup(s) heavy cream
- 1.5 tablespoon(s) corn syrup
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using a 2 1/2-inch heart cookie cutter and a pencil, trace 12 hearts on a piece of parchment paper, spacing 1 inch apart. Repeat with another piece of parchment. Lightly coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray; line with prepared parchment, traced side down. Set aside.
- Make the pâte à choux: Sift flour and cocoa powder into a medium bowl. Put milk, butter, sugar, and salt into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, and add flour mixture all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until flour has been incorporated.
- Set pan over medium-low heat. Continue to cook, stirring, until dough pulls away from sides of pan and forms a ball, about 1 minute. Transfer dough to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-low speed until just warm to the touch.
- Raise speed to medium. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch plain tip (such as Ateco #802). Pipe onto prepared parchment, tracing outlines of hearts and then filling centers. Pipe another heart on top of first layer.
- Place hearts in oven. Reduce temperature to 400 degrees. Bake 10 minutes, then rotate sheets. Reduce to 350 degrees; bake 7 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks to cool slightly. Turn off oven.
- Using a serrated knife, halve hearts horizontally. Arrange, cut sides down, on wire rack. Place rack on baking sheet; transfer to oven. Prop open door slightly, and let hearts cool completely, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
- Make the filling: Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Pulse chocolate in a food processor until finely chopped. Put 1 cup cream and the sugar into a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add hot cream mixture to the food processor. Carefully pulse until completely smooth. Transfer to a large bowl set in the ice-water bath. Let cool completely, whisking occasionally, 30 to 45 minutes. Pour through a fine sieve into a medium bowl.
- Make the glaze: Pulse chocolate in a food processor until finely chopped. Put cream and corn syrup into a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring until syrup has dissolved. Add hot cream mixture to the food processor. Carefully pulse until completely smooth. Pour through a fine sieve into a bowl; use a rubber spatula to eliminate air bubbles.
- To assemble: Spoon glaze over tops of hearts. Let stand until set, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, spread filling onto cut sides of bottoms of hearts. Sandwich tops and bottoms. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, uncovered, up to 4 hours.

Dear Friend,
Until last year, I was your typical, American-evangelical-sincere-but-perfunctory-pray-er. You know the drill: a nice, quick prayer before meals. A hurried plea before car trips. A sentence or two before bed. Fifteen minutes before quiet-time. It was all good—all heartfelt, genuine talking-with-God. But it was limited, both in time and in scope. My prayer life was in a box. I considered prayer important, but a prelude to the real stuff, the actual work. Although I desired more, I told myself: Gary, you just don't have time to pray as much as you'd like.
Today, I look back and know the truth. I don't have time not to pray. Around seventeen months ago, something changed.
All-heaven started breaking loose at Forest Home. And here's the bottom line—it all started with prayer.
I'm not sure how or why it started, yet that doesn't surprise me, because moves of God's Spirit often begin unannounced. I just know that the senior staff at Forest Home began to experience a strange hunger for more than perfunctory prayers before our meetings. Instead of asking God to bless the "meat of our meeting," prayer became the meat. It became the agenda, instead of the opening ritual. Quick prayers became hour-long conversations. God's presence began to pour out over the room, and our hearts.
Scripture references to praying without limits now came into perspective. "Pray without ceasing…" (1 Thess. 5:17), "praying at all times in the Spirit…" (Ephesians 6:18), "Continue steadfastly in prayer…" (Colossians 4:2), and many others. We noted how, upon Jesus' baptism and filling with the Holy Spirit, He went into the wilderness and spent no less than forty days in prayer.
Things at Forest Home began to change. Prayers were answered. Doors opened. Miracles happened. Hearts opened. Lives turned around. New counselors came for a one-hour worship service and remained in Hormel Hall for 4 hours—praying, weeping, confessing sins and releasing hurts to God. The whole spirit of Forest Home began to transform. The senior staff saw God revolutionize their lives. Prayer stopped feeling like a task we could accomplish and check off a list—it felt like a destination, a calling into a whole new life with God.
Today, we're seeing miracles and gifts from God all over Forest Home. People tell us they sense His presence here. Staffers text me saying, God is here. His spirit is here. God really is moving and leading this place! Campers experience genuine revival and come away renewed, convicted and inspired like never before. They sense that, in the words of Psalm 127:1, the Lord has built this house.
Why am I sharing these thoughts? First, I want to share what God is up to in our midst. But I'm also convinced that here lies a genuine, Godly way to transform a life stuck in life-long ruts and stubborn patterns. So if you desire to steer your life in a new direction, fully surrendered to God, I recommend a radical, prayer-life overhaul. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and make this assurance—an unleashed prayer life will absolutely rock your 2014.
Gary Wingerd
Forest Home's vision is for all campers to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, explore the Word of God, pursue God's call on their lives, engage in Christ-centered relationships, and connect with God through His creation. To support this vision, we took steps of faith to upgrade our camp facilities and recreation options.
We prayed this winter that God would do something so incredible that it could only be attributable to Him…. and He did. Not only did He provide funding and contractors to complete our needed projects, but He also led five of these contractors to surrender their lives to Him during the process! Thank you, Lord, for your amazing grace!
The Lord allowed for us to complete the new pool that families and children have enjoyed this summer! The new splash pad is in the middle of construction and will be ready for summer 2014!
We also completed several recreation upgrades, including:
• The new children's play area, Boulder Junction, inside Canyon Park
• Renovations to the miniature golf course
• A new Forest Center grass field and children's play area
• A new Prayer Trail
In addition, we updated cabins with:
• New mattresses
• New bedspreads
• New shower caddies, window fans and towel hooks
Finally, we've made two big changes in our retail department:
• We've installed a new grill in the Clubhouse for hamburgers and artisan sandwiches
• We've added a new retail location with an expanded collection of Outfitters apparel
We invite you to visit again soon and enjoy all that the Lord has provided for Forest Home!
Some of the most dynamic Christian Speakers in America are coming to Forest Home in 2014, and we want to provide our 2013 Family Camp families the first opportunity to make reservations.
Between now and August 16, 2013, any family with paid Family Camp reservations for 2013 can register for any 2014 Family Camp week. Only after August 16 will we begin taking registration from others.
Speakers announced so far include: Will Graham, Billy Graham's oldest grandson and world evangelist; Alistair Begg, considered one of the finest Bible teachers in the world; John Trent, one of the nation's most sought-after speakers on marriage, parenting and family relationships and a bestselling author; Bob Botsford, Testify's daily radio program speaker and 30 Days of Building a Better Family author; and two of the fastest rising young pastors in American evangelical circles, Mike Erre and Albert Tate.
We are still adding speakers for the remainder of the 2014 summer, but we know that we will be quickly filling Family Camp slots with the extraordinary speakers already booked. We want our faithful 2013 Family Campers to be given the opportunity to book for next year before the general public.
If you have already rebooked for 2014 and would like to change the week you are planning to attend, no problem. Just give our Program Reservation Team a call at 909.389.4488.
Thank you for your continued support of the ministries of Forest Home, and we look forward to seeing you at Family Camp next year.
Gary Wingerd
Executive Director
We believe in the power of breaking bread together… or drinking milkshakes. It's our desire to create spaces where you, your family and friends can sit together, build strong relationships, and encourage each other in Christ. That's why we are excited to announce new refreshment areas and extended hours for the Clubhouse and Stagecoach Coffee.
Campers and guests have also asked us if we are going to bring back more retail items like those once found in the old Outfitters' Bookstore. We can now say, "Yes!"
We are expanding retail and dining options throughout Mill Creek Canyon, including:
• A new retail yurt, Forest Home Outfitters, located just south of the Forest Center Dining Room. This will be the hub for all of your apparel needs.
• New refreshment stations in Canyon Park (formerly known as The Challenge Course), the Trout Pond (inside the Creekside Camp Center) and the Boat Shack (on the beach at Lakeview).
• The new Belly Flop snack shack, opening alongside the new Forest Center pool. It will serve refreshments as well as Hawaiian Shaved Ice and homemade Forest Home ice cream.
A Forest Home Outfitters clothing line is being launched this summer. We are introducing 11 unique Outfitters designs over a wide selection of men and women's tanks and hoodies, women's and unisex tees, and zipped jackets just to name a few.
We are bringing new food options to the Clubhouse:
• Adding hamburgers, with the option of "Build-Your-Own-Burger"
• Adding artisan sandwiches, both hot and cold
• Expanding our salad offerings
Last, we are extending our hours for the Clubhouse and Stagecoach Coffee. Our goal is to be open all hours of the day, from when you wake up till you go to bed.
CLICK PLAY to hear from our Director of Retail, Brandon Clarke, about all of these changes!
We can't wait to hear how the Lord moves in campers' lives this summer!

First up - I'm sorry I'm doing this twice in one day but I've literally emptied my fabric closet into my kitchen and I have stacks of stuff I really don't need/have any space for.
So up there in the pic there's a clothkits doll kit (with stuffing and everything), plus 2 additional Jane Foster dresses (kits) and a third clothkits dress kit. Plus a doll kit (called Katy - I know, that's me, I always wanted to make her...but never got round to it) by my friend and published author and all round famous lady Amy Adams. In the olden days, before she was famous, she worked for Coats Crafts designing kits and stuff.
If you're interested in the lot - I won't split it, so please don't ask - email me email@example.com
GONE!!! Thanks!!!
