his viewfinder clutching at his throat, Altgens temporarily froze when microfrag-

entertainment editor for the Dallas Morning News, quickly pursued the fast-break-

Baby to hear of a beautiful mind scape of a nice oreo and cucko dive into the ocean of love and enjoy the baeuty of sea of love story and love , beauty, and myth.
"Outlander" takes place just after World War II, and stars Claire Randall, a British army nurse. Claire and her husband decide to go on a second honeymoon to Inverness, Scotland, to rekindle their relationship. While there, Claire stumbles upon Craigh Na Dun (a rock formation) and is transported back to eighteenth century Scotland, right in the middle of a fight between British and Scottish forces. Luckily, Claire is whisked away by dashing Scotsman Jamie, and taken on a wild adventure with Jamie and the Scottish Clan Mackenzie.
"Outlander" is a humorous historical fantasy novel, and is the first book in Diana Gabaldon's series of eight books. It is also a wonderful, intricate novel that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. All of the characters are well-rounded and unique. The heroes are sassy, smart, and lovable, while the villains are evil and cruel. The plot is unique and clever, and makes use of an excess of historical facts mixed with fantasy to form a storyline that is breath-taking. The setting is beautiful, and adds to the historical context of the story. It is also extremely evident that massive amounts of research went into this novel, as it truly shows through the descriptive scenes.
The author of this review highly recommends "Outlander". It is an amazing novel that would be suitable more for a pleasure read than an essay or 'book talk'. There are some hidden meanings and symbolism, but not too much. The author of this review believes "Outlander" to be suitable for ages fourteen and up due to sexual content.
A Harlequin with violence. This book is not about time travel or about Scotland. It's more like a harlequin but with lots of sexual violence. It's also very poorly written. Amateurish. Every single detail of every single scene is spelled out and repeated. And one short scene she tells us the color of the other character's hair two or three times. It was "battleship gray" incidentally. That's probably why it's so long. And definitely why it's so sloooow paced. It's also wildly emotionally unrealistic. And in its Harliquininess, not at all an adventure story. Also the heroine is kind of snippy and unlikable. Although that could also be because she has no emotional responses to anything. Contrary to the hype just absolutely awful. And yes I read genre fiction and enjoy it.
I re-read this (on audiobook) after watching the first half of the new TV series (which ended on a cliff-hanger, of course.
It's been a while since the first time I read Cross Stitch / Outlander, and I'd forgotten quite a bit. It's certainly an intriguing premise and the suspension of disbelief for this time travel story is easier than many others I've come across.
I enjoyed exploring this period of Scottish history and felt like I learned something as I was swept along in the story.
The romance was, of course, the central focus of story and if you like passion and intensity, there's plenty of it here.
Two things I thought were a little convenient though - the ethical dilemma Claire faces (about the husband she has left behind) was never overly troubling for the reader since we don't know Frank that well or see how he is suffering in her absence. Secondly, Claire gets rescued quite a few times, and while some of these are totally justified and necessary - other times are less so. To be fair, as her knowledge improves, she does manage to fend for herself much more, and her healing skills make up for the rescuing somewhat, since she saves lives at about the same rate.
All in all, I thought it was a good beginning. I'm curious to see where the story goes from here.
One of the best romance/scifi books of all time....I've been reading these books for over 30 years and this one has it all. I can't wait until the cable series comes back in April '15. Must read...It was really hard to put down...I'm currently on the 3rd book of the series and have not been disappointed.
Oct 7 2014?.....Well, this is probably the fourth or fifth time that I have read this book. It must be good, I am still enjoying it as much now, as I did 20 or so years ago when I first read it. (and the book is soo much better that the tv series, which surprises me....I had thought I would enjoy seeing this come to life on the screen more than I am!).....I hope I can get my hands on the audio book in time to listen to part of it while I read......just to add a new dimension to my reading pleasure.........Oct 17, on page 502 of 630 pages and loving every minute spent with this old friend. For anyone in the Chinook Arch Library System, I found a big heavy book with all the Scottish plaids pictured, as well as a little bit of info on the various clans. I looked up my Grandmother's last name (MacFarlane) and found that they were a particularly savage clan! (Gulp, I'd better watch my temper!).....Oct 21, 2014 just finished Outlander, I'm now on to Dragonfly....whoa, bit to a time jump there.....I thought I might have picked up the wrong one, but no, it's the correct one. I guess I'm hooked to this series for the next 6 months or so. I've never been a fast reader!
I picked this up out of an interest in historical novels about WW II and the 18th c (this isn't 17th c, as some comments state--it's 1743 when Claire walks through the stones and for a while thinks she's on a movie set.) She's nearly raped by an English officer who's a dead ringer for the husband she's left on their second honeymoon, looking up genealogical data on kin of the would-be rapist, his ancestor. That's the other reason I picked it up--I'm into family genealogy, and some of my family were forced out of Scotland about this time. The time travel wasn't a big deal, though I kept expecting her to go back and forth as in "The Time Traveler's Wife," (which I liked better than the other reader). While it took Claire a bit too long to figure out what was going on, I really liked her, Jamie, and some of the other characters, even some of the unreliable ones, finding them well-rounded people capable of growth. Not the ones who tried to rape her, though! I loved that she was a strong enough woman that when someone's life was in danger, she usually used her nurse's training to try to heal them. I've put a hold on the next one in the series, even though it's longer than this one. I like long books, as long as I can get lost in them as I did in "Outlanders." Even before I Googled it and knew it was part of a series, I suspected by the end that it had to be. Otherwise, the ending would have been anticlimactic. Will I reread it? I rarely do, as there are too many books to read the first time; we'll see when I've finished the series!
As excellent a re-read as it is the breathless first time around. I often recommend OUTLANDER to folks who think they are not genre readers -- there's a little bit of everything in there, and something is sure to catch a reader's interest. A little fantasy, military history, the history of medicine, a close study of life in 18th century Scotland, and one of the best love stories out there.
damn! this is a long book. i don't see how to make it shorter though...
it was good, don't get me wrong, but only start this one if you've got the time to read it.
great period drama story. love the idea :)

Claire Beauchamp Randall is a WWII combat nurse married to historian Frank Randall. On their post-war second honeymoon to the Scottish Highlands after the Gaelic harvest festival Samhain, Claire walks through two of the standing stones at Craigh na Dun and mysteriously travels back in time 202 years...to 1743! Accused of being an English spy, a single woman alone with no money, no friends, and dressed completely inappropriately for the times, Claire comes across a wounded Jamie Fraser, outlawed in his native Scotland with a price on his head. Thus begins a whirlwind romance that defies the odds, spanning decades and every trial-and-tribulation imaginable. **Show based on the book Premieres on Starz on August 9th, 2014**

" Hanovers and Stuarts? To me, these were still no more than names on a chart on the schoolroom wall. What were they, compared with an unthinkable evil like Hitler's Reich? It made a difference to those who lived under the kings, I supposed, though the differences might seem trivial to me. Still, when had the right to live as one wished ever been trivial? Was a struggle to choose one's own destiny less worthwhile than the necessity to stop a great evil?"-Claire

I was having trouble with the scale of things. A man killed with a musket was just as dead as one killed with a mortar. It was just that the mortar killed impersonally, destroying dozens of men, while the musket was fired by one man who could see the eyes of the one he killed. That made it murder, it seemed to me, not war. How many men to make a war?

Sexual Content: Although not explicit, there is quite a lot of sex in this book (mostly between consenting & married adults). There is one instance rape which, while not shown explicitly, may still be disturbing to some readers.
Violence: 18th century Scotland is a grimy and violent place. Claire is a healer, so sees her fair share of blood and gore. Violence is not too explicit, however, and most of the focus is on the impact of violence on those who survive it.
Sexual Content: Some sexual scenes
SummaryAdd a Summary
English nurse Claire Beauchamp Randall and husband Frank take a second honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands in 1945. When Claire walks through a cleft stone in an ancient henge, she's somehow transported to 1743. She encounters Frank's evil ancestor, British captain Jonathan "Black Jack" Randall, and is adopted by another clan. Claire nurses young soldier James Fraser, a gallant, merry redhead, and the two begin a romance, seeing each other through many perilous, swashbuckling adventures involving Black Jack. Scenes of the Highlanders' daily life blend poignant emotions with Scottish wit and humor. Eventually Sassenach (outlander) Claire finds a chance to return to 1945, and must choose between distant memories of Frank and her happy, uncomplicated existence with Jamie.
In Scotland with her husband on a second honeymoon after World War II, Claire enters a circle of stones and is transported back to the Battle of Culloden 200 years earlier, where she must marry a Scot to save her husband

The handle part (2) of a toothbrush houses means which emit acoustic signals in the audible range of the human ear. The means are a chip (3), a battery (4), a sound generator (5), a sound amplifier (6) and a switch (7). By incorporating other similar means, the emission of visual signals is produced. The means (3, 4, 5, 6, 7), which are combined to form a module, are suitable for emitting a melody and/or spoken words. The chip (3) is supplemented with a "timer", the cycle of which is set, or can be set, and preferably lasts for two minutes per actuation. The battery (4) has a life of three months when used twice a day for two minutes in each case.

signal producing means in said handle for producing acoustic signals within the audible range of the human ear, said signal producing means being held in a structural module and including a circuit formed by an integrated circuit chip, a battery, and a switch, said battery being replaceable and having a life of approximately three months when said tooth brushing apparatus is employed for a predetermined length of time twice a day so as to signal the end of the recommended life of said bristle part, said predetermined length of time being substantially two minutes to coincide with the optimum time for which teeth should be brushed, said chip being programmed to emit pulses when the circuit is closed and having timing means for keeping said circuit closed for said predetermined length of time after activation of the switch, said length of time being based upon an optimum time for which teeth should be brushed upon actuation of said switch,

a sound amplifier for amplifying said acoustic energy outside of said apparatus.
2. A tooth brushing apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said bristle part forms a portion of said handle.
3. A tooth brushing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the handle serves as the sound amplifier.
The present invention relates to a toothbrush which includes a signal generating means.
The most widespread tooth diseases are caries and parodontitis. Parodontitis is understood as being the gradual destruction of tooth-holding apparatus. Both diseases are caused by bacteria which collect in particular between the teeth and which form acids and poisons during the long chain of their destruction. It is this which forms the basis of the prophylaxis against these diseases, which is available to and readily applicable by anyone.
Healthy nutrition specifically with regard to the teeth is surely among the initial prophylactic measures. By reducing the intake of sugar, the growth of bacteria, and hence also the formation of acids and poisons, can be minimized. However, completely dispensing with the consumption of sugar is hardly possible in daily life. If this fact is taken into account, oral hygiene is accordingly the most important factor in combatting caries and parodontitis. Regular removal of food residues prevents a sharp increase in bacteria and consequently prevents, on the one hand, the formation of acids and, on the other hand, irritation of the gums by dead bacteria, which gives rise to the risk of parodontitis. Brushing the teeth for at least two minutes after each main meal is regarded as optimum.
It is precisely this simple porphylaxis which appears to present the greatest problems in daily life, not only in the case of children, whose dislike of cleaning teeth is well known, but also in the case of adults, who state that they have great difficulty in maintaining a minimum time for brushing their teeth.
Various attempts have been made to help maintain this time by providing acoustic and/or visual aids. Market observation and questionnaires show that the attempts made so far have not yet provided an attractive solution.
The invention intends to remedy this.
One object of the invention, as characterized in the claims, to propose a toothbrush which, when used, makes it substantially easier to maintain the minimum time for brushing the teeth, which is recommended as a prophylaxis against caries and parodontitis. This is achieved by objectifying the time on the one hand and on the other hand by making this particular period of time pleasant to the senses.
The essential advantages of the invention are that the desired objective can be achieved without the aid of external auxiliaries. By actuating a capacitive of inductive switch which is located in the handle of the toothbrush and, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, is positioned at thumb height in a conventional toothbrush handle, the means housed there and preferably combined to form a single module are activated so that a melody and/or spoken words of any type are emitted. The emission time corresponds to the time span which is regarded by dental science as being the optimum time for which the teeth should be brushed after each main meal, namely two minutes in each case.
This provides a sensitive pleasant component which, particularly in the case of children, acts as an encouragement and stimulus to clean the teeth regularly and to continue this process for as long as the acoustic signals last.
In the case of adults, the objectification of time which this provides and which is signalled by completion of the emission is certainly of prime importance. Meanwhile, it should also be mentioned that the sound of, for example, a melody which is a personal favorite will certainly also stimulate those who are no longer children to maintain the duration and repetitive nature of the process.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, it is possible to generate visual signals, which may be particularly advantageous for the hard of hearing.
Another advantage of the invention is that the time when, for hygienic reasons, the toothbrush should be changed is unmistakably indicated by the absence of the emission, this time being related not so much to the wearing out of the bristles but primarily to the danger of transferring bacteria which multiply on the bristle part. When used twice a day for two minutes in each case, the battery has in fact a lift of three months, that is to say the lift after which dental science expects a toothbrush to be replaced.
The means are commercial elements, so that from the economic point of view the toohbrush is certainly disposable.
Another advantage of the invention is that the toothbrushes can be programmed with various melodies and/or spoken words, such as, for example, instructions, communications, conversation, etc. Hence, the acquisition of a new toothbrush affords the possibility of deciding in favour of a new melody or type of emission.
Furthermore, the toothbrush can readily be designed so that the bristle part is replaceable. In an embodiment of this type, it is advantageous for the snap-on and disposable bristle part to contain the battery. Moreover, the bristle part may be electrically operated, with the result that brushing of the teeth is facilitated and intensified.
In the drawing, illustrative examples of the invention are shown schematically and described in detail. All elements which are not essential for directly understanding the invention have been omitted.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toothbrush in which the means for emitting acoustic signals have been integrated to form a single module,
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a similar toothbrush as that shown in FIG. 1, the signal emitting means in this case emitting visual signals.
The emission may be a melody or spoken words, such as, for example, accompanying instructions on cleaning teeth, a short language course, etc. The emitting means of the example illustrated here are chip 3, battery 4, sound generator 5, sound amplifier 6 and switch 7. When the capacitive or inductive switch 7 is actuated, the chip 3 is fed by the battery 4. The chip 3, which is programmed for a particular emission, transmits its signals to the sound generator 5. If this is a piezoelectric sound generator, it accepts a current of 0.1 mA at 1.5 V. The pulses from the chip 3 are converted in sound generator 5 into signals which have a sequence which produces a melody or spoken words. In order to improve the sound quality and sound level, the sound generator 5 is connected to a sound amplifier 6. The handle part 2 of the toothbrush can simultaneously serve as the sound amplifier. This is set at a medium sound level. Of course, it can readily be extended to form an adjustable element, which is particularly appropriate when the bristle part 1 is electrically operated. In such a case, the adjustment could be made by means of, for example, a switch 7, which in this case is rotatable. The chip 3 incorporates a "timer", which is preferably set at a pulse duration of two minutes. In this case too, it is of course possible to provide for an individually adjustable pulse duration. When the toothbrush is used twice a day for two minutes in each case, the battery 4 has a life of three months. This life corresponds to the duration for using a toothbrush, as recommended by dental science. Consequently, the time when the toothbrush should be changed is indicated unmistakably. This constitutes an additional prophylaxis for preventing tooth diseases, which may be initiated by the bacteria which multiply on the bristle part 1 in the course of time. The means 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are commercially available elements. It is possible to combine these into a single module in the form of a disc which, on the basis of the present day state-of-the-art, has overall dimensions corresponding to a diameter of about 15 mm and a thickness of about 2-4 mm. Hence, a disc of this type can easily be housed in, or mounted on, the handle part 2, either during production of the toothbrush or thereafter. The switch 7 is positioned at thumb height on a conventional toothbrush handle; this makes it possible to switch on in practice as soon as the toothbrush is gripped. The bristle part 1 can be designed in such a way that it is replaceable. This will be appropriate whenever it is part of an electrically operated tooth brush. It is also obvious that, in a toothbrush which is not electrically operated, the bristle part 1 should contain the battery 4, thus optimizing the disposability of the two parts which are consumed.
FIG. 2 shows a toothbrush similar to that shown in FIG. 1. The difference is that this toothbrush is designed to produce visual signals. The means in this case are a battery 4, a clock 3a, a switch 7, and a light source 8 integrated in the switch 7. The mode of operation and the advantages are the same as those described for FIG. 1. When the switch 7 is actuated, the light source 8 is illuminated and emits light for the set or settable time interval.

Artisan: Parvez A. Warsi
"Hello, I'm Parvez A Warsi from the colorful city of Agra, India. I have a longstanding relationship with the world of handicrafts. It all started when my ancestors began stitching royal clothing for kings, queens, princes and princesses. As time passed by I got into tailoring, though not stitching clothes for the royals but for the general public. Then, I joined my brother-in-law who was into crafting decorative items with embroidered motifs. A few years later, I started my own workshop of crafting gift items, wall hangings, evening bags, etc., all featuring embroidery work. During this time I was still involved in designing and stitching dresses with embroidered motifs.
"I was personally involved in making the products until recently, for now I am able to offer jobs to other artisans and together we create new ides and designs.
"Recognition is one of the most important aspects in this craft, for it means the appreciation of your work and that you've proven your ability. I am proud to mention that the Uttar Pradesh Government has been kind enough to appreciate my works of art, by honoring me with the Small Scale Industry Award. In San Francisco, I also received an Award for Excellence in handicrafts."

A Few Leafy Fall Themed Baby Shower Ideas
Alternate punny title: Leaf it to me. Oh yeah, there's nothing like a little corniness on a Tuesday afternoon. I blame it on being downright giddy to have power again. Ohthankgoodness. Anyway, this weekend before the chaos that was Irene I actually helped with a little bridal shower for our cousin Megan who is getting hitched this fall. John's mom hosted the sweet informal gathering at her place, and each one of the daughters (and in this case, me the daughter-in-law) were asked to bring a few things. I was in charge of a bowl of candy, and a little bit of table decor. Nothing too crazy, just a few small touches to hopefully get people into the fall spirit (as inspired by Megan's pretty fall-ish wedding invitations):
Of course I took it as an opportunity to get all craft-tastic (I tried to resist, but I was powerless against the draw of Michael's). First I grabbed $2.50 worth of colored paper in a few pretty fall-ish colors. Then when I got home I googled "leaf pattern" and sketched out a few different leaf outlines onto a piece of white cardstock with a pen (I just free-handed them, but you probably could trace them right off the computer screen too). Were they perfect? Nah. Were they leaf-esque? Sure.
Then I cut them out. It didn't take ten seconds, but it wasn't too bad. Maybe five minutes for ten of them. I recommend watching Real Housewives Of NJ in the background to keep morale up.
Then I used each cardstock leaf as a template and traced it onto one of my colored craft papers with a black pen. I actually ended up tracing each one a few different times and crowded them in so I'd get as many leaves as possible from each sheet of paper. And yes, I did crack insanely bad jokes like "hey John, leaf me alone" as I went. He was not amused.
Then I stacked an extra sheet under the one that I traced my leaf shapes onto (so I could cut each leaf out once, but get two out of the deal – each in a different color thanks to the stacked paper). Then I did the rest of my sheets in the same way (tracing the shapes on the top page and stacking the paper so I could cut it once and get a few leaves out of it). Total time spent: an episode of Real Housewives. And surprisingly (because I half expected this crazy spurt of craftiness to be a total bust), the varied colors and shapes ended up being pretty darn cute.
I mean they're not über upscale and spendy looking (Posh might not demand them at her next shindig), but they're sweet and charming in that homemade full-of-love sort of way. Which seems to work when you're casually gathering with family on a stormy day to celebrate love, love, and more love. I ended up sprinkling them down the middle of the table to make a little leaf runner of sorts.
Not bad for $2.50.
Then came my weird M&M project. I thought tracking down some sort of candy in fall tones could be sweet in a clear cylinder vase (of which we have many, leftover from our own wedding). So when I came across two bags of brown, red, and yellow peanut butter M&M's at Target, I took the bait and bought them (for around $5 total). Then I sorted them by color in three bowls and stashed each tone in a different ziplock bag so I could bring them with me to the party already-sorted. Oh yeah, and wash your hands before you touch all the candy. In case you're wondering, I watched last week's Design Star during this part of the process (I'm hopelessly behind on that show – don't ruin this week's episode because we haven't seen it yet).
Once I arrived at the party, my big M&M arranging finale took ten seconds. I just poured the pre-sorted brown ones into my big glass cylinder vase, followed by the pre-sorted red and yellow ones. Bing, bam, boom.
I probably can't take any credit for the fact that everyone scarfed them down (peanut butter M&Ms are irrefutably addicting in their own right) but Megan and the other ladies seemed to enjoy the little layered look. Weird candy separating mission accomplished.
I also grabbed eight glasses from Target (sold for $2.99 for a set of four, so I spent under $6 total) and John's mom just took a few clippings from two potted mums that she already had on the front porch to make eight mini bouquets to fill our glass "vases." I loved the idea of using already-owned potted mum clippings because there are about a million blooms covering them, so it's way more bang for the ol' buck. We probably would have needed to buy at least four bouquets of flowers to fill the eight vases that our two mums easily covered with plenty of blooms to spare (we tried to clip from the perimeter/underside of them, so the remaining plants will still look nice and fresh out on the porch for a few more months).
So with the cups-turned-vases filled with mums and my little paper leaves spread down the center of the table like a festive little runner, it was time for one last touch. Oh yes I did buy six little glittery faux pinecones from Michael's for 50 cents a pop. Guilty as charged. I can't help it. I'm like a magpie when it comes to shiny things. Especially shiny fall-ish things in the golden color palette of the leaves from Megan's wedding invitation. They conveniently came on a little wire (I think they're made to be stuffed into bouquets or wreaths) so I just stuck them randomly into a few of the little mum vases (which we sent home with each guest as a small party favor).
It was a sweet little party. Even though it was rainy and gross outside, it was warm and happy inside. And I don't mean to harp on odd things like glittery pinecones (I'm from Jersey, ok? Maybe that explains it), but they seemed to be quite the hit.
Oh and check out this cute thing John's mom put together. We all played one of those how-well-do-you-know-the-bridge-and-groom games, and she hunted down fall-colored ribbons and tootsie pops to tie on top of each clipboard, which she also sent home with each guest. So yeah, come to our family's showers if you want to leave with vases of flowers, glittered pinecones, ribbon slash tootsie pop riddled clipboards, and M&M hangovers. Do we know how to party or what?
My favorite part of the whole celebration was when Clara and her cousin Jake serenaded us. Once again proving that random is good. Bring on the paper leaves and faux pinecones! And don't forget that baby solo to end things with a bang.
Oh and because you know I love a little budget breakdown, here are all the supplies I grabbed:
- Paper leaf "runner" (made from 6 sheets of Michael's craft paper): $2.50
- Five glittered faux pinecones (from Michael's:) $2.50
- Eight glasses to use as mum vases (from Target): $5.98
- Potted mum clippings: $0 (already out on the porch, but they might be $5 a plant at a grocery store for a small one)
- Two bags of fall-colored peanut butter M&M's (from Target): $5
- Glass cylinder vase for M&Ms: $0 (leftover from our wedding, but originally from Michael's for a few bucks)
- Total: $15.98
Not bad for eight flowering favors in little glass vases, a festive fall-inspired table runner o' leaves, and a quirky color-coded dish of M&Ms. I just liked that it felt more Megan-specific to DIY a few things than run to party city and spend $20 on plastic tablecloths and crepe paper. But enough about my insane propensity for faux nature and glittered anything (why yes I did own a bedazzler in ninth grade). Have you guys whipped up any crafty little homemade-with-love party decor? Ever arranged candy by color? I think that takes a special kind of crazy. And I'm happy to wave my little yes-I-sorted-M&Ms-by-hand freak flag nice and high.

Nice project! I'd recommend using a craft knife to cut out the template leaves. I do a lot of paper cutting in my line of work, and I find that it's quicker and easier for individual shapes like that. Not so easy to do in front of the TV, though.
Sherry, are you familiar with the Craft Talk youtube video? I have a feeling it might touch you just like it does me. ahahhahaha
check it:
When one of my best friends got married we crafted up a ton of stuff – wedding invites, bouquets, wedding favors (the fanciest Andes Mints evah!), and much more. It looked amazing and all the bridemaids got to bond over ribbon, silk flowers, scrapbooking paper and the like.
clara's expression in that photo is totally vegas!!! she's bound for the stage, i tell ya!
love the leaf confetti and the m&m sorting. my living room is all fall colors anyway so i could use this stuff year round! yay! ~m
You needa Silhouette machine…it would have cut those shapes in a few minutes time and you would be amazed with all the stuff you can make with it! I love mine! http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/
For a baby shower I hosted a few years ago…I purchased a grocery store flower arrangement, a white table cloth and used this clear glass train as decoration (oh, I couldn't resist the Party City stock "It's a Boy" banner. It was simple
,..For my son's last three birthday parties, I have managed to avoid a theme party, hopefully i can still get away with it next year. For his first I made the invites a generic baby lion, using orange and lime as the color scheme. Since the party was in a park the only decorations were store bought sunflowers on the food table, a small cluster of balloons and a banner. For 2nd I just did balloons and food table flowers. For his 3rd and did the flowers and Clara party inspired pom poms. Basically I like to use flowers…and keep it simple less to toss.
I love your M&Ms idea! This could work not just for fall, but valentines day, wedding colors, etc… I love fall and am looking forward to it!
Love the table runner! Hey, do you know where she found her invitations? I lurrrrrrrve them.
PS Banana runts are my favorite, too!
I love the decorations you made! Perfect for a Fall wedding. My husband and I were married in the Fall too, so I'm partial! ;)
I have gold glittery pinecones and pine trees that I decorate my mantle with at Christmas-time. And I also DIY-ed a Fall wreath with tons of glittery accents that I put out every autumn!
Oh, and the separating m&ms? I totally would do that for party colors…that's cool! But was it totally lame of me that I actually once sorted through an entire party-sized bag of pretzel m&ms and counted out serving sizes? I can't believe I did that, but it was when I'd first gotten pregnant and was being obsessive about what I ate. It did help me to eat only the serving size…otherwise I could down half a bag of those at once!
Beautiful decorations! I really like that leaf hand towel…where did you get that?
Thank you!
Rachel H, I got it at Target a couple of year ago! :) (That's funny, I am a "Rachel H." too!
Nice job, and from one victim of the (Dominion) Powers that be to another, Congratulations! We got ours back after about 36 hours, much better than the 6 DAYS following Isabel. So, to tie two of your recent posts together, I have about three tons of pine cones strewn about my yard right now, thanks to Mean Irene. I'll be happy to box them up and send them to you the next time you want to glitter them, or maybe even ORB them, all the while wishing a pox on Ashley the Twit. Or maybe Juicy Joe. I'm not sure which one deserves a pox more.
One more thing…I'm on the hunt for a birthday party like fabric. I would like to make a table cloth to use at my son's parties every year. What I have been doing is just buying the buffet table cloth to match his party. The first year I found a lion theme table cloth, 2nd a fire truck and 3rd a colorful one( I had a simple rainbow theme). The table cloth is has far as I go in the party aisle at Party City, the rest I just pull out colors for the plates and napkins.
I JUST made a handy dandy felt birthday banner in Vancouver Canucks colors for a very special little three year old. I do not have a sewing machine yet, so two hours and three hot glue gun burns later it was done, but SOOOO worth it! He wants to hang it in his room now, so it made those burns totally worth it!
You can see the birthday banner in the setup picture of this post! http://anamericangirlincanada.blogspot.com/2011/08/celebration.html
Being in this awful Florida heat, I can't WAIT until Fall and you seriously got me excited with all those fall colors! Eee! I just decorated for my cousin's bridal shower…so fun! I took to the 'ol blog so that she could remember the day (and all the hard work that went into it- haha) you can check it out if you're curious here: http://www.rockcandieblog.com/bridal-shower-wrap-up I can't tell you how much I love YHL- I'm a daily reader and am so inspired by all that you both do. Keep up the inspiration! xoxo
hey! I keep forgetting you are from Jersey, Sherry! I have to ask: 1. Do you watch Real Housewives of New Jersey? If yes, 2. who is your fave? and 3. do NJ women really love sparkly stuff more than the rest of us? Dying to know~ from the midwest!
I LOVE it :) So super cute! Makes me want to decorate my house for fall which I normally don't even like! I totally bought red and blue m&m's separately for his 3rd party-definitely not as cheap! Great idea :)
Oh my gosh, I am so happy to have found a compatriot in the crazy candy capers. I host a huge Mardi Gras party every year (St. Louis has the biggest celebration in the US after New Orleans, of course!) and one year I bought a huge bag of skitles from Sam's, washed my hands, settled down with some awesomely bad tv, and sorted them by color so I could have big cylinders of purple, yellow, and green candies! I thought it looked awesome! I especially enjoyed the look of fear in my friends' eyes as they realized the extent of my crazy. :)
When I threw my best friend's bridal shower, she opted for a brunch so I ended up buying a ton of breakfast foods, including some plain and blueberry bagels. The funny part was that the blueberries ended up tinting the bagels slightly purple (her wedding colors were purple and ivory), so even her bagels ended up being color-coordinated! :)
I love that clipboard idea! It seems like everyone is always scrambling for a flat surface to write on during those games. So clever!
It's great that you have power back! I lived in Richmond during Isabel and was without power for an entire week!!
I just co-hosted a bridal shower for my bff, Annie, and we did a coffee theme. We took the window from my wedding and painted over it with chalkboard paint to make a "specials board" and had two vintage coffee urns with lots of syrups for people to make their own brew.
I made a banner from scrap book paper (Michael's!) that said "Annie and Juan the Perfect Blend". We also had an advice station where guest wrote advice for the bride on a little heart and placed it in a vase. We did some candles in vintage tea cups and vases with whole coffee beans for further effect. The whole thing was a big hit!
Take it from someone that grew up in Brooklyn, New York I know how bad Irene was. Still I think it is great that so much was accomplished through the time that calamity hit. I was looking at the pictures and it reminds me, as I am setting up my new home, how important color coordination can be when it comes to decorating a room. I know need to rethink all of my sheets and such but at least now I can get my room looking like a bedroom and not a 70s love shack.
love the pic of Jake and Clara. adorable.
Gorgeous, I can't believe you did it for so cheap!
I am definitely up there in the crazy candy stakes. I once sorted through 6 kilograms of smarties to get out the pink and orange ones. I was making cookie jar favors for my sisters baby shower. I hunted everywhere here in Brisbane (Australia) for bags of individual colors but couldn't find them anywhere. So I did what any good sister would do, I bought the jumbo bags of mixed colors and started sorting :)
I love these ideas! The m&m idea would be really fun for a 4th of July party, and the "table runner" is such a cute idea.
For my sister's wedding shower, I scored with a clearance pack of SEI scrapbooking paper for $4 and a few rolls of ribbon. I cut tons of triangles 'pendant flags', sewed to the ribbon and strung across the ceiling. Sure beat crepe paper! Plus, I got some valuable time to justify watching some netflix!

Arjun Atwal played nine straight pars on the back nine to card even par 72 to be placed tied 37th at the end of the third day of the Puerto Rico Open here on Sunday.
Arjun Atwal playing his first PGA Tournament since September last year made the cut with a one-under 71 in the second round of the Puerto Rico Open on Friday.
A late bogey was the only blemish in SSP Chowrasia's card as the Indian golfer turned in a sedate two-under 69 on the third day to jump to a two-stroke lead over defending champion Siddikur Rahman after the penultimate round of the Hero Indian Open, here on Saturday.
Anirban Lahiri gave himself a fair chance to chase Order of Merit leader, David Lipsky as he Indian fired a superb five-under 66 to make amends for his first round 74 at the BANK BRI Indonesia Open on Friday.
The Indian players were off to a great start at the the BANK BRI Indonesia Open here today, with three of them figuring in the top-10 at the end of the first round.
Anirban Lahiri battled fatigue and rivals at the same time and ended in a tie for fourth after being just one spot away from the top overnight at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship (TPC) on Sunday.
PGA Tour champions Daniel Chopra of Sweden and India's Arjun Atwal, who is also a double Malaysian Open winner, will be amongst a star-studded cast at the Worldwide Holdings Selangor Masters next week.
Arjun Atwal missed the cut yet again with a second round 71 at the Wyndham Championships, an event that has been one and only title on the PGA Tour.
Former winner at Wyndham Championships, Arjun Atwal, in only his second start of the year on PGA Tour, had a bad beginning with a round of one-over 71 in the first of the 2014 Wyndham Championship here.
Daniel Chopra ended a miserable week with a four-over 76 at the Spyglass Hill course at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, here on Sunday.
Daniel Chopra struggled to seven-over 79 at the Pebble Beach Golf Links in the second round of the second AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Red-hot Swede Daniel Chopra birdied six of his first seven holes to charge into an early two-stroke lead in the rain-delayed opening round of the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Thursday.
Star golfer Tiger Woods, who is all set to arrive in New Delhi on Tuesday, said that his dream of visiting India will finally be realized as his "friend" Arjun Atwal has been requesting him to visit the country for some time.
In a career spanning over 20 years, two-time PGA tour winner Daniel Chopra feels he has "under-achieved" but after regaining his 2014 PGA tour card, the Indian-born Swede golfer is now looking for something "spectacular" in the season ahead.
Retiring cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest sportsperson that India has ever produced and his "super human" mental strength is "god-like", feels two-time PGA Tour winner golfer Daniel Chopra, who is currently playing in the Indian Open.
India`s Shiv Kapur and Jyoti Randhawa will compete in a very competitive field, including many a Asian golf stars, when the prestigious 50th Hero Indian Open begins here on Thursday.
Two-time PGA Tour winner Daniel Chopra will be seen in action at the Hero Indian Open 2013, to be played from November 7-10 at the Delhi Golf Club.
Daniel Chopra made the cut comfortably but fell back on the leaderboard following a third round of 75 at the Chiquita Classic on Web.Com Tour.
Daniel Chopra, lying second overnight, dropped to eighth following a terrible back nine after the third round of the Stadion Classic at UGA on the Web.Com Tour in the US.
Daniel Chopra, who has a head cover depicting Yoda, the iconic character of Star Wars, carded a second successive three-under 68 to move to six-under 138 and into tied second even as Arjun Atwal missed the cut at the end of the second round of the Stadion Classic here.

vegetables that dont need good soil
What are the vegetables that will grow in the worst of bad soil? I'm talking low maintenance veggies that grow like weeds and still taste good.
Okra- originally from dry, hot, poor soil in Africa. Although, it does get benefit from better soil.
Other things that seem to do okay in tough conditions - Rosemary, Oregano, Thyme, and sage. Any of the scruffy Mediterranean herbs. I find that if I baby them and water them regularly and feed them, they die.
While they won't look particularly beautiful, the flavor will be about the same.
I have Melissa (Lemon Balm) that is growing in the worst soil I have. For some reason it just keeps going. I suspect that if I moved it to a good spot, it would take over- much like its cousin mint.
While you didn't ask for herbs, I thought I'd mention it. I can't imagine not having herbs growing year around.
The worst of bad soil? There is so many different type of worst soil for every different person. Some say water-log clay, some say 1.0 ph soil, some say sandy total porosity soil etc.
And the winner for lowest maintenance required in sandy soil is....cactus. They are edible, at least some of them are.
thanks. i am in washington state. basically i bought a truckload of some good soil laid it all down years ago but now it seems my vegetables have used up all the minerals and can barely grow. i layered on soem new soil/minerals but still no luck. it looks like the only option for the vegetables is to replace most of the old soil. but instead of replacing the soil i want to just keep using it for some new vegetables that will grow in such conditions.
is there any more leafy green veggie or other non- tubers/roots that will grow? something you can just break off and throw it into a stirfry. amaranth okra basil look promising. maybe the garlic if the green stems can grow well in bad soil too (cut up the green stems for stir fry)
You can grow Radishes, Bok choy, Onions(maybe hill them as they grow so the bulb will have some soil if it's not loose. Lettuce, Peas (also adds nitrogen to the soil), etc.
There are lots that don't need good soil... just pitchfork it and weed it so roots can grow deep if it's not been done already.
"the worst of bad soil".... "bought a truckload of good soil"...."layered on some new soil/minerals" ....."vegetables can barely grow"....
I would say these generalities don't define what the problems may be. It would help to remember specifically what crops did the most poorly, and did any grow at least normally? Do any legumes thrive? Potatoes?
What is the basic soil type of your property? Have you done a soil test? You added some minerals. What were they, and how much? Has the plot ever produced well? Have you grown crops nearby but in different soil, as a comparison point?
No cultivated crops will produce food that tastes good in truly impoverished soil, as an answer to the OP question. IME. If the soil is in fact so barren then there must be inputs made at planting time. Probably poor soil is simply one of a numbers of issues, in this case.
Soil of low fertility can produce small amounts of decent crops, but still they will probably not compare in mineral levels with that produced on richer, livelier soils. In such a situation, and I have a plot of low fertility and low inputs, I would use long-season and perennial crops, as they can extract more over time and they favor the build-up of soil life, especially beneficial fungi. Reduce tillage to zero, use a fork only as already suggested. Parsnip, walking onion, russian kale has done well.
Crops that grow well even in poor conditions: Turnips, chicory, runner beans, leek, fava, parsnip, salsify, and radish.

Where in Washington are you ? - west of the Cascades? - Wallis and Futuna is definitely west (not that it would matter - the forum is worldwide - but you would get very different answers to your question for very different climates).
Check your soil PH, lime could help.
Do you plan to irrigate? If you don't, you might be limited to growing a grain, early spring. or fall crop (because of the seasonal drought in much of the northwestern U.S.).
For more answers about stir fry vegetables you might also want to ask your question on the asian vegetables forum here at gardenweb.
Best of luck!

Cowpeas (aka field peas or Southern peas) fit your criteria of "low maintenance veggies that grow like weeds and still taste good."
Cowpeas are sometimes used as a cover crop to be turned under to build up the soil. And they are good eating.
but, like all legumes they require some decent fertility to produce a crop. If they are being turned under at a young stage then a crop is not being removed from the system. All cultivated crops are adapted to relatively high fertility, compared to a barren, stripped, or eroded situation.
many weeds, OTOH, are mineral 'accumulators' and will grow rampantly in such conditions. If weeds were to be cropped it would introduce another factor to the equation.
