#1 Dog
In case you missed the AKC Westminster Dog Show the other night, "Best in Show" was awarded to Banana Joe, a cute little Affenpinscher. Thanks to Interlaken, I've met alot of breeds in my life, but never an Affenpinscher. Interlaken is proud to be a pet friendly resort - one of very few in the state that accepts pets and the only resort in this region. We welcome pets with immediate affection and attention! We have specific pet friendly accommodations and that would be the Woodside building and one king-bedded room in Sunnyside. In addition to the treats at check-in we also have a cozy bed waiting for him/her in your room! Pups love to roam our property (leashed of course) and in particular our seasonal lakefront area. Now, this time of year most dogs love to play in the snow and Interlaken has plenty of that right now! Anyway, the whole dog show program started me thinking of how cute it would be for Interlaken to host it's own little dog show! Proud Guests and their happy pups could march around the pavilion area showing off their stuff. My blog camera would be going crazy! I can really see that happening some day, but until then, let me share with you some previous Interlaken pup visitors. These are in no particular order as we love them all and could never choose #1 Dog!
Waves in our Vineyard
Not too often would one find waves in a vineyard, but at Interlaken you now will. Wintertime always brings us to updating and renovating our space, and one little project is our Vineyard room. The Vineyard room is home to our mid-week complimentary deluxe continental breakfast, as well as dinner parties, corporate lunch meetings, culinary challenges, indoor wedding ceremonies, the "day after wedding" breakfasts, bridal showers, birthday gatherings - really, private anything! The room is quite large so it can fit lots of chairs for a ceremony or big round tables and a buffet breakfast or even a dance floor! The new carpet is being put in as we speak and the trim will be painted later on this week. The chairs will be re-upholstered in March as well to bring the new look altogether. Stay with us mid-week to enjoy breakfast the next morning in the Vineyard - you'll be certain to see the new look then!
Stay tuned for more upcoming renovations in 2013!
Working out
Here she is, the last piece of equipment to be added to the fitness room family at Interlaken.
She's a beauty! Between the tnew readmill, the new recumbent bike, the new functional trainer and elliptical machine, Interlaken's fitness room has got your calorie burn covered!
Jump (For My Love)
Anyone of the 80's era remembers this Pointer Sisters hit. I thought it would make a cute title to tie in the Interlaken's Valentine Day's Package and the SWSA Jumpfest. Why would I want to do that, you might ask? Both of them are happening on the same weekend, this upcoming weekend of February 8th and 9th.
Since Valentine's Day falls on a Thursday this year we could celebrate with our special package the weekend before or after, but we decided why not both?! The package includes all you need for a romantic overnight away: a red rose for her (or him), a complete three-course dinner, a cocktail for each of you, overnight accommodations and a full buffet breakfast for two - all for just $334.98 inclusive! According to one Guest I spoke to that booked it: "What a deal"! Now this is where the Jump (For My Love) comes in! If you choose to come this weekend, you could also come early in the day and take part in the 87th annual Jumpfest sponsored by SWSA. The activities at Satre Hill in neighboring Salisbury, CT are super fun and happen all weekend long. Ice carving, chili cook-off, human dog sled race, and of course the junior jumping competition and awards. I hope the impending snow for New England only enhances the festivities!
Changing of the Menu
It happens often here at Morgan's Restaurant at Interlaken. Just the other day Chef Scimeca told me he was at it again, so let me share with you two of the latest entree additions:
Sauteed Rhode Island Fluke, Hazelnut, Capers, Butternut Puree, Lemony Kale
Coq Au Vin: Roasted Natural Chicken Breast, Red Wine, Bacon, Red Pearl onions, Polenta
And get your meal started with this new appetizer: Housecured Salmon, Golden Beets, Pistachio, Citrus Zest, White Balsamic.
Always popular for dessert is the Ganache Torte, but hold tight as he updates the dessert menu very soon as well! Try our latest sorbet flavors of pear-vanilla and grapefruit-campari (which is complimented well with a Grey Goose Vodka Martini I am told!)
Haven't dined at Morgan's yet? Here's a recent comment from a Guest who wrote on Tripadvisor:
The chef prepared the best garlicky spinach we had ever tasted! My husband is still telling his friends about it!
He must have had the Grilled Grass-fed N.Y. Strip with House Worcestershire, Horseradish, Garlicky Spinach entree - good thing Brandon didn't take that off the menu so you can still try the best garlicky spinach yourself! We serve only naturally raised meats, fish, and eggs and we support our local farmers. When you make your room reservation make sure you make a dining one for Morgan's as well. Morgan's is open 7 evenings a week with nightly specials, a crackling fire, a warm ambience, and freshly prepared dishes delivered with a smile. Speaking of nightly specials, last week the Chefs were cooking squab "under a brick"! Come dine with us and experience Morgan's yourself!

McEneaney is Dover Citizen of Year Volunteer, nonprofit and business of year also honored
Friday, January 4, 2013
DOVER — A longtime city man who teaches cancer patients to fish has been named the 2012 Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year.
McEneaney is also a member of an Irish singing group that brings song and fun to nursing homes and schools. One cause McEneaney champions is "Castings for Recovery." Through this organization, McEneaney teaches people with cancer how to fish. Dion said McEneaney believes the "comfort and peace afforded by nature will give them hope and assist in their recovery."
"In so many ways, it is Kevin's passion for life that separates him from the rest of us," Dion said.
Staples received the Volunteer of the Year award from Janet Atkins of Goodwin Community Health Center. Atkins said Staples has made major contributions in the area, ensuring that all residents of Dover have access to oral health care.
"In 2010, Dave supported the capital campaign for Goodwin Community Health with a sizable donation and recruited other local dentists to purchase naming opportunities for operatories and the dental wing," Atkins said, adding that his help as the chairman of the board at the center has made them a household name.
"What I do, I don't look at it as any kind of an effort, it is just the thanks I give for being raised in such a great community," Staples said. D.F. Richard sponsored the Volunteer of the Year honor.
Jay O'Neil from Federal Savings Bank congratulated the Dover Lodge of Elks #184 as the 2013 Nonprofit of the Year.
"I was stunned that one organization could accomplish so much," O'Neil said when congratulating Frank Santin and Barbara Allard of the lodge. "The Elks pledge to inculcate the principles of charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of its members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism and to cultivate good fellowship," O'Neil said.
The Dover Lodge wowed the selectors with its hard work putting up and taking down the American flags throughout the city on the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
The 2013 business of the year award was presented to Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, P.A., on behalf of Catalina Celentano from Public Service of New Hampshire.
"In a world of bottom line solutions, it's easy to overlook that success in business is really about relationships," Celentano said, adding that the partners have instilled a culture of service for 40 years.
Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, P.A. are active members in the Rochester, Somersworth, Lakes Region, Wolfeboro, North Conway, Exeter and the Dover chambers. They provide support to military through New Hampshire Society of Certified Public Accounts and contribute to a number of organizations.
"The key ways that they help their clients is through business consulting, business valuation, financial reporting and planning, retirement planning and tax planning and preparation," Celentano said.
Molly Hodgson Smith, executive director of the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce, was all smiles as she honored the four deserving recipients. She encourages the city to help congratulate the award winners by attending the 25th Annual Awards Dinner at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick, Maine, on Friday, Jan. 25. Tickets are on sale at www.dovernh.org.

VIDEO: TX woman dies, delivers baby, then comes back to life
CNN/KPRC — When a pregnant teacher in Texas collapsed, her coworkers rushed to help.
The woman technically died, gave birth, and then was brought back to life.
Three month old baby Elayna now weighs a whopping nine pounds.
She's growing and thriving and could be off oxygen as early as next week.
It's a miracle, considering how Elayna came into this world.
Her mom, Erica Nigrelli, is an English teacher at Elkins High School.
She collapsed in a co-worker's classroom when she was 36-weeks pregnant.
Erica's husband nathan is also a teacher at Elkins.
Erica's heart had stopped.
Some co-workers started CPR and used a deliberator to get it working again.
They kept her alive until paramedics came and rushed her to the hospital.
Doctor's delivered baby Elayna by emergency c-section.
It was technically a post mortem delivery because Erica's heart wasn't beating.
It turns out, erica had an undetected heart defect.
The fact mom and baby are here today is a testament to her co-workers.
June Tomlin, Maxine Reeves and Jennifer Longoria were honored at Monday's Missouri City council meeting.
Erica is only 32, but doctor's installed a pacemaker that will now allow her to see baby Elayna grow up.

This is a good thing I guess? What is the benefit?
Phoronix: An FBDEV Compositor Back-End For Wayland/Weston
An FBDEV-based compositor back-end for Wayland's Weston has been published. This back-end allows for Wayland's Weston to run on a Linux frame-buffer device while the graphics rendering is done using Pixman and input is handled through evdev...
This is a good thing I guess? What is the benefit?
Most likely this will be the first Weston backend, that can run without any GL and without X11. Right now only the X11 backend supports running without any GL.

I'm afraid I don't have the log anymore. Opened up EUIII and realized I should probably copy the old log for you before I started playing again, and of course it'd already wiped the log. I had checked through it myself before however, and the only events in the log for either of the two countries since Brabant agreeing to my peace demands were Brabant entering my military alliance, giving me military access, and the event referring to Brabant's loss of their independance. No events for Luxembourg whatsoever besides those two I copied before.
Still have the save game, of course. I've attached the entries for Brabant and Luxembourg.

We'll be leaving late July, heading up the centre, over to Cairns and then down the coast back to Melbourne. I'm allowing 1-3ish months to do this, depending on how much fun we are having!
Money is tight for us so spending a chunk on a fridge needs to be money well spent. Is it worth it? We're vegan so we don't travel with meat, eggs or cow milk. It would be mainly for fruit & veg and occasionally soymilk, that kinda thing. And is second hand a good choice (I think I could get a better quality one for cheaper second hand)? And lastly, what brand?!

Quake Live
Quake Live Overview
Quake Live is the free-to-play version of the popular classic Quake 3. Re-released as a browser based FPS with slight graphic and gameplay updates (and now available as a stand alone client), Quake Live is sure to interest any fan of old school FPS mayhem. Most free shooters these days tend to be tactical shooters where players are equipped like modern day SWAT squads or soldiers. The weapons are almost always M16s and AK47s. In Quake Live, things are very different. You'll be running around futuristic maps, constantly hopping to avoid rockets. There are teleporters and jump pads scattered across the over forty arenas (maps) and twelve different weapons available though not all weapons can be found in all arenas. Quake is a traditional FPS, so there are no ranks or levels. Players do not gain experience points, but their stats such as kills/deaths, wins/losses, and accuracy are recorded and made available online. Players can change their avatars at any time since it has no effect beyond cosmetics.
There are over 140 game arenas and 12 game types, however, many are limited to subscribers only.

Quake Live Review
By Erhan Altay
Quake Live has been in development for quite some time and has had several closed beta test periods, but it wasn't until late February of 2009 that the game finally entered open beta. Odds are anyone reading this has at least heard of Quake before – it was one of the first FPS games ever to be released for personal computers. Originally released back in 1996, Quake was followed by a series of sequels, but the most important game in the series for this review is Quake 3, released in 1999. Quake Live is basically Quake 3 repackaged, slightly upgraded, and refitted to launch and play from your web browser.
Start Online
While Quake Live does play from your browser, a small web plugin download (4mb) is required. Currently, the only two browsers supported are Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. After the plugin is installed, players are prompted to create their character while the rest of the game downloads in the background. Character creation is very basic and only involves selecting one of several dozen avatars. There are some amusing choices such as a giant eyeball with hands, a skeleton, a fat clown with ill fitting cloths, and many others. Your avatar choice has no effect on gameplay and can be switched at any time, so don't worry too much about it. Players can also customize their controls and graphic settings while waiting for the download to finish, but the default settings should suffice.
Meet Crash
It didn't take long for me to finish downloading the necessary files, but depending on your internet connection it make take a few minutes. Luckily, you don't have to download the whole package before you start playing. The game downloads a short ten minute single-player training mission and lets you play through it while the rest of the game continues to download. This training stage pits players against an AI bot named Crash who introduces players to the game's basics. After she's done blabbering, you'll have to face her in a 20 frag limit match. Your performance against her is used to determine your skill level so that the game can later pit you against opponents who'll be around your skill range.
Not Just Another Counter Strike Clone
The free-to-play shooter genre has been littered with tactical FPS games all trying to mimic the success of Counter-Strike. Everything from Nexon's Combat Arms to ijji's Soldier Front follows this mold. I'm a great fan of variety and it's good to see a game that's chaotic and fast-paced rather than tactical and realistic. The basic controls are the same as any other shooter: W,A,S,D to move, the mouse to aim and fire, ctrl to crouch, and space to jump. In most shooters jumping and even moving have an adverse effect on your aim but this is not the case with Quake. Constant moving and jumping are actually encouraged, not only since it doesn't affect your aim but also because you move faster with consecutive jumps than you do running. For those who haven't played a game like this before, it may sound like Quake doesn't require any 'skill' but this couldn't be further from the truth.
Weapon and Armor Placement
Being a good Quake player isn't just about mastering the controls and the 'feel' of the twelve different weapons, but also involves learning the gun, armor, and health spawns scattered across each of the maps. Upon spawning, all players start with a machine gun and a melee gauntlet. Both these weapons are nearly useless and can only hope to kill an opponent who's health is low. The first course of action after spawning is to find a new gun, and while there are ten other guns in the game, most of them are quite underpowered. All the guns from Quake 3 make an appearance in Quake Live, but so do two guns from past games in the series; the chain gun and the proxy mine launcher. Out of all the guns, though, you're only likely to put a select few to use such as the rocket launcher, lightning gun and the rail gun. The rail gun is the closest thing to a sniper rifle in Quake; it fires slowly but kills in two hits. The rail gun used to be a one shot killer but has been downgraded for Quake Live. Armor, health and other items such as quad damage and haste spawn around the arena as well and it's important to constantly replenish yourself after a fight since the game records every one of your deaths.
Web Stats and Awards
My favorite addition to Quake Live is the stat tracker and achievement awards. The game tracks every bullet you fire, every frag you make and every time you die. This information is shown under your profile page in the form of accuracy, kill/death, and win/loss ratios. Additionally, there are over 100 achievements that can be earned in the form of badges that are visible on your profile page. Some are easy to acquire, while others take hundreds of hours. Your stats and awards don't have any effect on gameplay, but seeing how you rank in relation to your friends and all Quake Live players adds a sense of purpose and growth to the game. The game is still in open beta so many features are yet to be added. The dev team has already stated an interest in adding more clan functions. Right now the only real clan feature is the ability to add a tag to the end of your name like [HUT] lordaltay. I remember buying Quake 3 at Circuit City the week it came out way back in 1999, and ever since then it has been a staple at my LAN parties. My long history with the series means Quake Live has a great deal of nostalgic value for me, so I hope it succeeds as a free game. It's worth mentioning in these final lines that Quake Live is truly a free game, there is no cash shop or premium features that neen to be unlocked. Currently the only revenue model the developers are pursuing is in-game advertisements in the form of large billboards scattered across the arenas.
Final Verdict: Good
Quake 3 may be an old game but now that it can be played for free right on your browser, it's much more convenient and accessible. Quake Live is a no brainer for old veterans, but FPS players not familiar with the series should also check it out, provided they can look past the aged graphics.

Formerly known as the Food Stamp Program
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program offers nutrition assistance to millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families and provides economic benefits to communities. SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net. Oregon works with our federal partners, other State agencies, nutrition educators, and neighborhood and faith-based organizations to ensure that those eligible for nutrition assistance can make informed decisions about applying for the program and can access benefits.
SNAP is a federal nutrition program. The Program's laws and regulations are based on the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 passed by Congress in 2008. In 1974 Congress required all States to offer food benefits to low-income households. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the program.
The intent of the Program is to help improve the health and well-being of low-income households and individuals by providing them a means to meet their nutritional needs. Some important pieces of information for you to know:
In Oregon, the SNAP Program is administered by the Department of Human Services (DHS) Children, Adults and Families Division. The eligibility determination and issuance of benefits are provided through DHS and AAA offices across the state.
In August of 2013, about 808,244 Oregonians in 443,501 households received food benefits. The average monthly benefit was about $235 per household. The benefits paid to households are paid 100% by the federal government, and the cost of administering the program is paid 50% by the federal government and 50% by the state.
In Oregon, the benefits are distributed through the state's Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system, which allows recipients to obtain their benefits by using an "Oregon Trail Card" at the grocery store card-scanning devices.
Please follow the links for information about:

Almond Tea Recipe (酥皮杏仁茶)
(Chinese recipes, prepare authentic Chinese food now!)
I hate cold weather.
There I said it, I haaaaaaaate cold weather.
Blame it on my tropical blood, I dread cold temperatures. Winter makes my face crease like a dried prune and my winter wardrobe of fleece, wool, sweaters, jackets and such make me look–and feel–utterly frumpy and unattractive! I love warmth and sun–80 degree Fahrenheit and 80% humidity is my natural habitat. While most people shuns away from humidity, I for one think that humidity does wonders to my complexion–it makes my skin looks perfectly dewy and glossy (perhaps it's SWEAT?!).
I digress…
So, when it comes to cooking during this time of year, I only have one thing in my mind: foods that make me warm. Other than my claypot dishes, this almond tea with baked puff pastry (酥皮杏仁茶) has been an absolute life-saver, especially during those cold mornings and nights.
I learn this almond tea recipe from a Chinese restaurant near where I live. While it might seem hard to prepare, it's actually quite easy to make this almond tea with baked puff pastry (酥皮杏仁茶) with store-bought ingredients such as puff pastry sheets, almond powder, and canned ginkgo nuts.
It's great sipping the almond tea while munching away the crispy and flaky puff pastry, with a magazine or newspaper in hand. And that's when I feel that I might actually start to like cold weather. *wink*

hi rasa, what a clever and delicious recipe. i lobe the idea it sounds wonderful. so the tea has nuts in it? do you chew them while you drink it or leave them behind? or do they dissolve somehow. pardon, my ignorance ;)
I like the taste of puff pastry~
It's actually kinda cold right now in Malaysia with the usual year-end rainy season… so this recipe will fit in just as nicely in tropical climes when the weather turns slightly, uhm, icier? :)
She may be mistaken for an Eskimo but that's a forgivable mistake.
Can almost imagine you all wrapped up and huddled while drinking the steaming hot tea. hehe.
delicious. I would like to put the spoon into the pot
On the other hand, it's steaming hot in Manila today (maybe cos I've been baking all day..)! I need a cold break! (Perfect for making pastry, haha)
we are both tropical blooded..so i understand perfectly your point of view ..i hate cold weather too..but i guess i wont mind so much chilly weather if i have this baked almond tea with puff pastry to accompany me by :-)
It looks so lovely and tasty. This is going to go on my must try list.
One question, does this have to use the sweetened almond powder (the one that comes in the pink can from Hong Kong)? Or can I use the non-sweetened kind where it is just almond powder and compensate with extra sugar?
nice! It's getting too warm in Perth though! will keep this in mind for the weird cold blasts that we sometimes have in the middle of summer!
whoa.. am salivating! how i wish to have it right now!
Love almond tea. And the touch of 酥皮 on smooth almond tea. Perfecto!
sounds nice! btw, any idea where can I find canned gingko nuts?
Didn't know that almond tea can be served with puff pastry. Looks great, but I might try a different combination since I don't take food with almond flavor. ;-)
You know?
Everytime after my snowboarding trip, the only choice I had is hot chocolate.
It'll be very nice if I have have your baked almond tea with puff pastry instead.
Very very nice.
Sounds utterly delightful and while it may be described as simple, you make it seem very sophisticated and delicate! Mmm…would make a nice end to a Chinese themed dinner :)
Baked almond tea with puff pastry sounds good to have when its cold. Im bookmarking your baked almond tea with puff pastry recipe.
I missed the stall that sells Hin Jin Thng at Kimberly St- the one in front of a joss-sticks shop and few meters away from the well known Charcoal Char Koay Teow ( in front corner of a kopitiam). You're right is great to have almond tea in Winter!I can't find bitter almond/apricot kernels in Europe :-( so can't make fresh tea… my luggage was too heavy carrying all the 'food' :-D
Tropical weather rules!
Dear Rasamalaysia

Council meets with DES head to discuss Great Bay issues
Thursday, February 21, 2013
DOVER — The City Council met in a workshop session Wednesday evening with New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Commissioner Thomas Burack and his team to discuss the water quality issues in the Great Bay Estuary.
"NHDES would like to work with you to design a program," he said, but that time would not be well spent re-reviewing the study, which had been reviewed by two independent experts in 2010.
"We're here and we have to explain to our taxpayers why their sewer bill has just gone sky high," Councilor Dorothea Hooper said.
"I think we really need to make the next steps," he said.

The first thing that you need to do is select the type of the lighting fixture that would suit your needs best and its size. To know this information, you should read the NFPA requirements and find out what the recommended type of emergency light is for your particular building. After you know this information, selecting exit signs and emergency lights becomes much easier.
The next factor to consider is the lighting technology that emergency signs use. The most common types that are offered these days include tritium, LED, self-luminous and photo-luminescent signs. While all of these technologies practically offer the same lighting features, some are more efficient and reliable that others. If you are looking for the most cost-efficient emergency lighting options, select the signs that are equipped with LED bulbs.
After you have specified the type and lighting options of the fixtures, it is time to think about their installation. Pay attention to the mounting accessories that come with the lights and ensure that they will be enough to mount the emergency light. The material and its durability are also details you should consider. After all, you want your emergency lights to be resistant to temperature changes in case a fire starts in the building. Moreover, exit signs have to operate in wet conditions as well.
Why do I need to install emergency lighting in the building? NFPA safety codes demand that every residential, commercial or industrial building should have emergency lighting installed. This is not a bureaucratic whim but a reasonable requirement that helps save people's lives in case of emergencies. Never underestimate the power of an exit sign until you are looking for one in a crumbling building.
How expensive is the maintenance of emergency lights? The amount of money you will spend on emergency lights' maintenance depends on many factors, including the area of the building, number of such lights installed in it and the type of lighting technology that they use. Selecting efficient options, such as LED or CFL emergency lights, will help you save money in a long run.

When I tell people what I do for a living, they often give me a puzzled look. "What is a personal history film?" they ask, wondering if I'm a historian, a filmmaker, or something else entirely.
I like to start off by explaining exactly what a personal history film is. Keep in mind there are a lot of names for this product, including video biography, video memoir, life history video, tribute film, or family history movie. For this article, we'll call it a personal history film.
So what is it? A personal history film is a 30-60 minute documentary chronicling the stories, remembrances and history of an individual, couple, family, or a business. Think of it as a custom-made A&E biography. Rather than it being about someone famous, it could be about anything…including you or your parents. The film could be historical in nature, soaring through the highlights of a person's life. Or it could be more philosophical, expressing one's values, beliefs, hopes, dreams and the lessons learned from living life (commonly known as an "ethical will"). It could focus on one moment in time—such as grandpa's experiences in the War—or cover 300 years of family history. The possibilities are endless.
With the use of today's digital technology, a personal history film can record a person's life as no other medium could do in the past. What makes a personal history film so special? Rather than explaining it with a list, I thought it would be more interesting to ask you to consider the following:
- Seeing your grandmother's sweet facial expressions as she recalls memories of being a youngster in the 1920's. She tells of the summer she spent picking blackberries and being paid just enough money to buy a special dolly at the local Five and Dime. Her cat Sally sits on her lap as she tells this particular story while being filmed.
- Listening to the loving tone of your mother's voice as she reflects on becoming a mother for the very first time. She speaks of her initial concerns about being a good mother, but recalls that upon caressing you for the very first time, all her fears vanished.
- Watching Uncle Joe smoking his cigar, telling his corny jokes and doing his all-too-familiar magic tricks. Somehow everything old is new again.
- Hearing your great aunt Rosemary share stories of living through WWII. She talks about ration tickets, black out curtains, not having real butter to spread on toast and having to walk to and from church on Sundays because there was no gasoline to put in the family car, a 1939 Nash LaFayette.
Did these elicit an emotional response? They are the sorts of memories of the past that can easily be captured on film (but less so in a book or an audio recording). Of course your own stories will be a little different, but that's what makes personal history films so powerful: they're tailored to each person, each family, and each moment in time.
One of my favorite quotes is from Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), the Irish dramatist, novelist and poet. Wilde said, "Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us." Today, think about moving some of your special memories from your (mental) diary to a timeless digital film. And if you're interested in learning more about personal history preservation, I highly recommend the following books:
The Story Only You Can Tell – Creating Your Family History With Ease and Expertise by Toni Sorenson Brown
Ethical Will – Putting Your Values on Paper by Barry K. Baines, MD.
Tell us about your own personal history film. What has it meant to you and your family?

Snowflake Gate with 13 Snowflakes - Red
Personalized Christmas Table Top Decoration
THIS IS NOT AN ORNAMENT! Each one of the 13 snowflakes can be personalized on this personalized tabletop display piece that every grandparent would love to have. This snowman couple is decked out in their winter finest with coats, scarves, mittens and hats, hugging one another to stay warm in the winter cold. The pair stand in front of a gate decorated with red ribbons and green garland that is covered with 12 snowflakes. The 13th snowflake is in between the snowman couple. If you don't need all of the snowflakes personalized, just leave blank the ones that you want to not have a name!
Material: Resin
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

One of the best ways to control pests in your garden is to encourage their natural enemies. Planting pollen and nectar plants, and providing protection for these beneficial insects, is a basic tenet of organic gardening, and a way to further increase the ecological diversity of your yard. We've listed the most common beneficial insects along with tips on attracting them to your yard.
1. Ladybugs
The familiar round, orange spotted ladybug is just one of more than 400 species of lady beetles found in North America. Most ladybug adults and larvae feed on aphids and other soft-bodied insects. Adults are attracted to flower nectar and pollen, which they must eat before they can reproduce.
Lacewing Larva
Adult Lacewing
2. Lacewings
Pale green or brown lacewing adults have distinctive large, veined wings and feed mainly on flower nectar. Lacewing larvae, however, are voracious predators that feed on aphids, thrips, scales, moth eggs, small caterpillars and mites.
Adult: Joseph Berger, Bugwood.org
Larva: Whitney Cranshaw, Colorado State University, Bugwood.org
3. Hover Flies, aka flower flies or syrphid flies
Adults look like small bees with striped abdomens; the grayish or greenish slug- like larvae have pointed heads. Flower flies are attracted to flowers to feed on nectar and pollen. The larvae feed on aphids in tight places where other good bugs can't go, and are especially helpful in early spring, before other beneficial insects are active. Flower flies also pollinate strawberries and raspberries, producing larger fruits and higher yields.
Soldier Bug Nymph
Big-eyed Bug
Ambush Bug
4. Predatory Bugs, including minute pirate bugs, ambush bugs and assassin bugs (soldier bugs, big-eyed bugs)
These bugs prey on many insects, including tomato hornworms, thrips, spider mites, many insects' eggs, leafhopper nymphs, corn earworms and other small caterpillars. Pirate bugs are attracted by willows, buckwheat, corn and nectar and pollen from many flowers. Predatory bugs are attracted to bunch grasses, shrubs and other permanent plantings that provide them shelter. A unique lure is available to attract emerging soldier bugs to gardens.
5. Ground beetles
Large, long-legged, shiny blue-black or brown beetles that hide under rocks and logs during the day, and are fast-moving when disturbed. They feed on slugs, snails, cutworms, root maggots, and Colorado potato beetle larvae. Attract them by providing perennial ground covers, stones, or logs. Rove beetles resemble earwigs without pincers, and feed on many insect pests and like similar conditions to ground beetles.
6. Hunting and parasitic wasps
There are hundreds of species of wasps, including many that are so tiny you can barely see them. These mini-wasps often attack the eggs of pests, and are one of the most important insect groups that provide control of garden pests. They can be attracted by growing by pollen and nectar plants.
Photo: Scott Bauer, USDA Agricultural Research Service, Bugwood.org
7. Spiders: All spiders feed on insects and are very important in preventing pest outbreaks. The spiders normally found in gardens do not move indoors, nor are they poisonous. Permanent perennial plantings and straw mulches will provide shelter and dramatically increase spider populations in vegetable gardens.
Photo: Catherine Herms, The Ohio State University, Bugwood.org
8. Tachinid Flies
Although they look similar to house flies, tachinid flies are very important enemies of cutworms, armyworms, tent caterpillars, cabbage loopers, gypsy moths, sawflies, Japanese beetles, squash bugs, and sowbugs. Grow pollen and nectar plants to attract them.

Two say they were chased, terrorized in Farmington area road-rage case
Thursday, January 24, 2013
MIDDLETON —Middleton Police on Wednesday said they were still searching for the passenger in a car allegedly involved in a bizarre road rage incident last Thursday.
According to police, they responded at approximately 8:30 p.m. Jan. 17 to an ongoing road rage incident in the area of Route 153 reported by a third party. Sobel said the caller reported one car chasing another through Milton and Middleton, with the operator trying to force it off the road and a passenger trying to break the window of the victims' car by using a knife attached to the end of a stick.
The two victims were able to make their way to the Farmington police station last Thursday evening while Hussey reportedly left the area. A warrant was issued for Hussey's arrest, and he was taken into custody at his Dover residence the following day.
