Can't go wrong with Dustin at TMO
try Greys River Outfitters
I think the results will be early this year based on they locked the modify period earlier this year.
I have a feeling there is going to be some major point creep for region G this year.
I am thinking of this race for my 50th birthday in 2016.
Wyoming no doubt will pass this but I believe the next step is the nonresident will be 50% random and 50% points draw.
12091 12092
12090 Just got back from my Wyoming bison hunt. Had a great time. Took a rifle but all the animals moved to the archery/shotgun zones. I borrowed a friends crossbow and got a forty yard shot.
I leave Thursday the 8th to try and fill my cow bison tag!
Did they change the dates so they can change license numbers after they know mortality from the winter?
Looking for any info on Triple C Outfitters for a bear hunt or any recommendation for a reputable outfitter for a grizzly hunt.
Welcome! Where from Michigan are you From?
I drew a cow bison too. Should be a fun hunt. Draw odds will probably change next year as word gets out.
I drew my LE Wyoming elk tag with four points. I am having a hard time choosing which dates to go. I could go the week of the 8th of September or the week of the 22nd. Any advice? thanks
Lots of glassing the green areas and evenings are always best. I have been a few times and usually had one opportunity in a week just spot a stalking.
cool moose. I thought of cashing in my points in for a cow tag this year.
I have this feeling they are going to make us wait till Monday the 24th
Nice Buck! Do notice a difference in the thickness and length of fur between the second season and the fourth season?
Welcome! I also love Wyoming. Good Luck!
yes you have to pay to play. Besides some lucky hunter has to draw the random tag. If you were planning on hiring a outfitter you might as well go to Newfoundland as its cheaper.
the new Hoyt spyder carbon looks cool but not sure if its worth the price tag
been through there and it is the greenist I have seen in a long time
no region H can be drawn on 0 points.
I would hunt it. I hunted there a few years back and had an awesome hunt. PM me if would like
I would look into unit 61 or 62. Call Bob Sundeen with Trails West Outfitters as that would be my first choice.

I just played the demo and it was full of quick time events. So I don't understand why people say that it does not have any quick time events. Do I not understand what a quick time event is? To me a QTE is where you have to press a button, or stick in a specific way or at a specific time or else character dies, or fails. That is exactly what is going on in the demo. I loved Heavy Rain, but I was hoping this game was a full control game.
Can someone explain how Cage and others say it does not have QTE'S?

I think they're considered to be less of QTE's just because there's no other way to play a game like this. But compared to Heavy Rain, it's definitely got a more responsive feel to it, since fighting is encouraged by following Jodie's movements, as opposed to on-screen prompts.

I don't know... the demo has just as many as Heavy Rain did in my mind... I almost dont want to buy it because of it. I feel like it takes away from the experience somehow. Don't know how to explain it.

AP News in Brief at 5:58 p.m. EDT
US defends prisoner swap with Taliban as Army sergeant and Gitmo detainees win freedom
WASHINGTON (AP) — Five years a captive from the Afghanistan war, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is back in American hands, freed for five Guantanamo terrorism detainees in a swap stirring sharp debate in Washington over whether the U.S. should have negotiated with the Taliban over prisoners.
U.S. officials said Sunday that Bergdahl's health and safety appeared in jeopardy, prompting rapid action to secure his release. Republicans said the deal could place U.S. troops in danger, especially if the freed detainees return to the fight — one called it "shocking." Arizona Sen. John McCain said of the five detainees, "These are the hardest of the hard core."
Visiting troops in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel stepped forward at Bagram Air Field to thank the special operations forces who retrieved Bergdahl, who officials said was the only American prisoner of war still held by insurgents in that conflict. Gen. Joseph Dunford spoke of the excitement that spread through U.S. ranks when the sergeant's release was confirmed. "You almost got choked up," he said. "It was pretty extraordinary."
Tireless campaigners for their son's freedom, Bob and Jani Bergdahl thanked all who were behind the effort to retrieve him. "You were not left behind," Bob Bergdahl told reporters, as if speaking to his son. "We are so proud of the way this was carried out." He spoke in Boise, Idaho, as residents in the sergeant's hometown of Hailey prepared for a homecoming celebration.
Hagel was met with silence when he told troops in a Bagram hangar: "This is a happy day. We got one of our own back." It was unclear whether the absence of cheers and applause came from a reluctance to display emotion in front of the Pentagon chief or from any doubts among the troops about Bergdahl.
Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner among 7 killed in fiery Massachusetts plane crash
BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner Lewis Katz was killed along with six other people in a fiery plane crash in Massachusetts, just days after reaching a deal that many hoped would end months of infighting at the newspaper and help restore it to its former glory.
The 72-year-old businessman's Gulfstream corporate jet ran off the end of a runway, plunged down an embankment and erupted in a fireball during a takeoff attempt Saturday night at Hanscom Field outside Boston, authorities said. There were no survivors.
Katz was returning to New Jersey from a gathering at the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin. Also killed was a next-door neighbor of Katz's, Anne Leeds, a 74-year-old retired preschool teacher he had invited along.
The identities of the other victims weren't immediately released. Nancy Phillips, Katz's longtime partner and city editor at the Inquirer, was not aboard.
Investigators said it was too soon to say what caused the crash.
Is decentralized al-Qaida weaker or gaining strength? Experts say risk of US attacks remains
WASHINGTON (AP) — Al-Qaida has decentralized, yet it's unclear whether the terrorist network is weaker and less likely to launch a Sept. 11-style attack against the United States, as President Barack Obama says, or remains potent despite the deaths of several leaders.

text: The article is right on. The answer is to a large degree that the US income, read as taxes, are set too low. We are a great nation that has cared about its people. That seems to have ended, where we are held hostage to protecting the income of the wealthy while letting the downtrodden sink into the muck and mire. Of course the politicians MUST pander to the wealthy to get campaign funds. How disgusting. As all business people know, if you sell your product for less than cost, you lose. We must raise Government income to cover the costs that are associated with being a great nation.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
The Avengers TV series font seems to have changed quite a bit over the course of it's ten year life on TV.
This version is from 1965 - would anybody be kind enough to hazard a guess a what it could be?
Many thanks
Indeed it would be nice to know!
The most similar I could find is Capital (http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/aboutype/capital/), but it's flared, or Radiant (http://new.myfonts.com/search/name%3Aradiant/fonts/), but it's too round.
In the meantime, hoping someone could find it, here's the recreation of one amateur:
Thanks for the response! Perhaps it's a variant of Universe?
Do you mean Univers (http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/univers/)?
Rather handmade.
There were some film faces back in the '60s/'70s that were similar--California Grotesk, Ibsen--but I can't find anything with such high contrast between thicks and thins. It's either custom or something really obscure.
The case of font used for The Avengers is interesting, and certainly during Series 4 and Series 5 of the Diana Rigg episodes, the graphic design was of a very high calibre. For the monochrome (Series 4) programmes, I have only ever found the font as mentioned above by riccardO. For Series 5, however, it appears the font used was Compacta, and for the opening fanfare 'The Avengers In Color' it appears to be Compacta Outline. Apart from the title, Compacta was also used in Series 4, along with a combination of Helvetica.

Best Western Premier Hotel Sant' Elena, Venice
Minutes from St Mark's
The Best Western Premier Hotel Sant'Elena is in a tranquil spot, yet you'll be just 5 minutes by vaporetto from bustling St. Mark's Square. From Marco Polo airport it's a 30-minute water taxi ride, or an hour by bus and water bus.
By boat or on foot
If you're in no hurry, take the delightfully scenic 20-minute walk to St Mark's and the city center rather than hopping on the water bus. But you can use the vaporetto to cross the lagoon to the Lido with its golden sands, and to visit Murano, famous for its glassblowers.
Free breakfast
There's no better way to start the day than enjoying your free breakfast in the former cloister courtyard. Dinner in Valentine's restaurant is à la carte, and can be taken on the terrace.
Free WiFi, soothing decor
All guestrooms feature free WiFi, LCD TVs, and minibars, and are decorated in natural colors and dark woods. Large windows overlook the cloister or the quiet and picturesque alleyways of Sant'Elena.
Stay here for 3 nights. Took local watertaxi to heart of town, takes 12 minutes! Away…
This is a clean quiet hotel in a lovely quiet and beautiful part of Venice, Sant Elena.…

Jones issues warning
Absolutely no inappropriate behaviour between teachers and students will be tolerated in this country.
Minister of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, Ronald Jones, delivering the feature address at The Lodge Schools Speech Day and Prize Giving ceremony yesterday morning, made it clear that there is a zero tolerance policy in this regard and any teacher who contravenes it will have their teaching career cut short.
The contact between teachers and students must be a formal contact, must be formal! And even though we love our children and there is nothing wrong with an embrace around the shoulder or saying youve done well, that is where it must stop. There is and will be zero tolerance for any sexual exploitation of our children by any teacher, he indicated.
The Minister contended, Zero tolerance! Find a job somewhere else because once we know I dont care how go...

Riot has just made one of the largest interface changes in a very long time, there's a lot of dislike floating around (not unjustified in many cases!), yet very little red posts.
Defend your work UI team. Are there no revisions incoming? Are we just stuck with this now?
Senior Member
This place is usually dead. I, for one, actually like it for the most part. There are a few things that could be made better/more intuitive *cough*sightstone charges*cough* but it's a pretty nice upgrade overall.
It's just going to take people a while to get used to some things.
I think Riot goes to REddit mostly for their ideas

China's worldwide search for copper begins in the gnarled hands of 76-year-old Yang Caiguan, who is fiddling with the cables of his digital television tuner.
China's home buyers are being offered no-money-down purchases in an echo of the subprime lending that triggered a U.S. economic meltdown and the global financial crisis.
Liu Yuan, son of former Chinese President Liu Shaoqi, was named political commissioner of the general logistics department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the China News Service reported on its website today.
China's new home sales last year exceeded $1 trillion for the first time as property prices in cities the government considers first tier surged in the absence of more nationwide property curbs.
China expanded an annual property survey that helps shape policies to more than 300 cities amid growing concern of oversupply in smaller cities, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
A Chinese film-finance group plans to invest $300 million in 10 English-language films, starting with "Ming: The Annihilator," based on a character from Spider-Man creator Stan Lee.
Nomura Holdings Inc. is recommending dollar-denominated bonds of five Chinese developers for 2013 as a recovery in sales boosts cash flow, contrasting with Morgan Stanley that has twice cut its outlook on the debt since August.
Kevin Xi had no trouble getting a mortgage to buy a 1.53 million yuan ($242,563) one-bedroom apartment in Beijing last month, even as China's government tries to cool the housing market. He even got a 10 percent reduction on interest.
"New-home prices are dropping because the supply is much larger than the demand."
- Liu Yuan on Dec 17, 2014

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The promised land or a fool's dream?
Not since the civil war of the 1980s have so many helicopters clattered over remote parts of Nicaragua. Now, however, the guys squinting down through the tree canopy are in suits: lawyers and business consultants from the United States, Australian engineers, British environmental auditors, even Chinese executives. Their per diems are being paid by Wang Jing, a Chinese businessman driven by a $40-billion quest to build a canal from Nicaragua's Atlantic coast to its Pacific one.
The dream of such a canal, three times as long as the one through Panama completed in 1914, is centuries old, and has made fools of all who ever believed in it. Wang already has pulled off one remarkable feat, however: He has persuaded the former revolutionaries in the Sandinista government to put Nicaragua's sovereignty in hock to make his dream come true.
To do so he has deployed little more than his personal chequebook and a bit of old-fashioned swagger in the style of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the tycoon who blazed a trail by shipping migrants from the eastern United States to its west coast via Nicaragua during the Gold Rush years of the 1840s and 1850s.
"He's a person who radiates confidence," says Manuel Coronel Kautz, president of Nicaragua's canal authority. "His company headquarters alone would cover half of Managua."
This chutzpah has played well with a government eager for someone new to believe in now that its former benefactor, president Hugo Ch°vez of Venezuela, has died.
"This lad is a revolutionary," Coronel purrs.
Since June, when the Sandinista-dominated National Assembly rubber-stamped a law granting a 50-year concession, renewable for as long as 100 years, to Wang's HKND Group, many have wondered whether the 40-year-old telecommunications boss is a crank. In August the Associated Press reported that in many countries where he has claimed to be doing business, including Nicaragua, his companies are barely noticeable.
Although both Wang and President Daniel Ortega insist the project will go ahead, people who have worked with HKND say it has more of an option to build than an obligation.
ERM, a British consultancy, is looking at the environmental and social effect of digging a deep channel through Lake Nicaragua, one of the largest lakes in Latin America, and carving through ancestral indigenous lands. Australian engineers are pondering how to remove millions of truckloads of dirt in a country with no large excavators, let alone nearby roads or railways.
McKinsey, a business consultancy, is said to be working out how the project could make enough money to entice sovereign-wealth funds to bankroll it.
The economic case is not easy to make. If the engineering challenges are too severe, even some supporters of the project say it may be impossible to raise the billions of dollars necessary to go any further. HKND argues large volumes of globally traded goods already are being carried on ships too big for the Panama Canal, even after its current expansion. Nicaragua's canal, with twice the draft of Panama's, would aim to accommodate such giants.
The project also may rest on shaky legal ground. Gabriel Ålvarez, a law professor at Nicaragua's National Autonomous University, says there have been 32 charges of unconstitutionality, a number he reckons unprecedented in Nicaragua. He points out the law gives the company unfettered, tax-free rights to vast tracts of land, which would violate the country's sovereignty.
At the same time, the government pledges to expropriate all land along the chosen route at potentially below-market rates, which has outraged indigenous groups and businessmen.
Coronel rejects such arguments. He believes the company will work in the interests of Nicaragua, overseen by a canal commission that will safeguard sovereignty.
Among those who oppose the concession are many who, under different circumstances, would see it as a lifesaver for impoverished Nicaragua.
Like many in Central America, they believe the first country to find a new way across the isthmus would reap enormous gains.
The trouble, they say, is Ortega's Sandinistas control all organs of government, including the Supreme Court, which means legal and environmental challenges are unlikely to get a fair hearing. There was almost no public debate before the law was approved.
As a result, Wang's contract may not be safe if the government changes. That does not worry Coronel. The white-haired son of one of Nicaragua's most famous poets, he long has dreamed of the canal as a way of raising Nicaraguan living standards, an unfulfilled pledge of the Sandinista revolution.
His only concern, the 80-year-old says, is he may not live long enough to see the dream fulfilled.
By then, in Ortega's words, Nicaragua will have reached the "promised land."

This form of political writing often called "advice literature," shared by Christian and Muslim cultures alike, "mirrors for princes" attempted to elevate statecraft ("dawla") to the same level as faith/religion ("din") during the Middle Ages. These guides for future rulers—Machiavelli's "The Prince" being a widely known example—addressed the delicate balance between seclusion and society, spirit and state, echoes of which we continue to find in the US, Europe, and the Middle East several centuries later. Today we suffer from the very opposite: there is no shortage of political commentary, but a notable lack of intelligent, eloquent discourse on the role of faith and the immaterial as a valuable agent in society or public life.
This publication brings together the writing of preeminent scholars and commentators using the genre of medieval advice literature as a starting point to discuss fate and fortune versus governance, advice for female nobility, and an Indian television drama as a form of translation of statecraft. The illustrated essays are accompanied by an interview with Slavs and Tatars.
Exile and marginality, network availability, mass- versus subcultural identities, privilege, opting (versus dropping) out – these are elements this issue takes on. The fading of bohemia's appeal is no doubt linked in part to a growing preference for the web's promise of total-connectivity. Though could another factor be at work here too: an underlying sense that perhaps the real displacement and disenfranchisement after which romantic notions of "bohemia" were later formed may again be a very real threat?

Velux sun tunnel leaking
In April '04 I had a local contractor install a Velux sun tunnel. We liked it so well, we had him install a second one in Nov. '04. During the winter we noticed some moisture accumulation on the roof hood. Contractor didn't know why, thought he installed it correctly, we both thought not to worry about it since it didn't leak even after torrential rains. Now this winter we had one that leaked after a heavy snow storm to the point I needed a bucket on the floor. I called Velux 3 weeks ago to check out the problem. I was told the Velux rep had to come from a location 3 hours away. I'm still waiting for him to schedule an appointment - even after a second call to the company. How long would you wait? What would you do? I haven't contacted the local contractor because he indicated he wasn't aware of what the problem would be with the condensation moisture early on. It's cold & snowy here--would the Velux rep be waiting for warmer weather (which might be 4 months away) What would you do next? I'd like to repaint my water stained ceiling, but not till the problems fixed. It leaked when the snow on the roof had a chance to melt.
Is it condensation or a roof leak. I will assume condensation which is caused by warm moist air contacting a cold surface. The fix is to have less moist air (turn off humidifier or fix/use bathroom vents when having a shower) OR improve the insulating value of the sun tunnel. I have no personal experience with the sun tunnel but is the glass dome double glazed? If not, and it's cold there is no way that you can stop condensation as the glass surface will be cold. The only thing you could do is manage the condensation flow using a gutter system. Not good.
Good luck. Anyone familar with the Velux and whether they are double or triple glazed?
Thanks for the replies. The rooms in question are a powder room (seldom used) and a utility room, and in both cases both rooms have little moisture as they're off a well-used hallway with lots of air flow. In the winter, there's usually general condensation inside the Velux dome, so it looks brilliant white against our dark shingles. I wasn't sure if that was supposed to happen or not. The current situation is definitely a leak though. I collected a quart or two of water, plus the moisture that damaged the ceiling. I didn't think it would do me any good to have my regular contractor come out to fix it because he doesn't know what to do- he thought he installed it correctly per instructions. If the problem isn't covered under warranty, Velux said they would charge $85. My thought was I might as well have Velux come tell me if it's a warranty problem or pay them to fix it right rather than paying my local guy to do a trial & error. But I'm wondering if Velux will ever even show since it's already been 2 1/2 weeks since I contacted them and I'm still waiting.
I would stay away from velux products they will not honor there warrentys I have a $475 skylight installed in 05 it starting leaking 6 months after the install it has been proved it isnt the installation to roof leaking but the seal on the sash the company doesnt care customer service is far from the companys core value of doing business. My advise is to look for another company line of products. I wish you well.

For One Day, Lou Gehrig's Disease Becomes Baseball's Cause
Published: May 31, 2002
The story has enough drama for a movie script -- and in fact it has already been turned into one.
Jenifer Estess was always the center of attention as a child, her sisters say. She later became an Off Broadway producer leading a glamorous life in New York. But then, at 35, she felt a twitching.
''Do you know how you get that twitter in your eye if you drink too much coffee?'' she asked. ''It was like that, but all over my body.''
In 1997, Ms. Estess was told that she had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as A.L.S. or Lou Gehrig's disease, a neuromuscular disease affecting 30,000 Americans. The life expectancy for people with A.L.S. is two to five years.
Amazed that in this day and age there was no cure, Ms. Estess and her sisters Valerie and Meredith joined with her longtime friend and fellow producer Julianne Hoffenberg to start a charity, Project A.L.S., to raise more money for research. Ms. Estess and Ms. Hoffenberg used their contacts in the entertainment world to raise more than $11 million in four years for A.L.S. research. ''Jenifer,'' a film about Ms. Estess's life, helped raise awareness of the disease and the charity when it was shown on CBS last fall.
Tomorrow, to commemorate the anniversary of Lou Gehrig's death, Major League Baseball is holding Project A.L.S. Day at 14 stadiums. At each stadium, a celebrity will read Gehrig's famous farewell speech, in which he declared to Yankee fans that he considered himself ''the luckiest man on the face of this earth.'' James Gandolfini of ''The Sopranos'' will read the speech at Yankee Stadium.
Gehrig received his diagnosis in 1939 and died in 1941. Six decades later, there is still no cure for A.L.S., nor is there any clue as to its cause.
In the disease, motor neurons that carry signals from the brain to the muscles begin to fail. Without instructions to move, muscles do not. As neurons progressively degenerate, the entire body becomes paralyzed, until the brain can no longer tell the lungs to breathe and the patient suffocates. But through it all, the patient's mind remains completely intact, a witness to the body's murder of itself.
Now 40, Ms. Estess can no longer move her body or breathe for long without the aid of a respirator.
''In your mind,'' she said recently, sitting propped up with pillows on her bed, taking gulps of air from her respirator between small batches of words, ''you're just watching this all happen. You still have these desires and wants and needs, but you are unable to express them physically. I reach out for people I just can't reach.''
There is little hope for her. ''We've had some success treating the symptoms, but not in reversing the process,'' said Dr. Gerald D. Fischbach, the executive vice president for health and biomedical sciences and dean of the faculty at Columbia University's medical school.
In the weeks leading up to Project A.L.S. Day, Ms. Estess spoke on the phone between puffs on her respirator, scheduling and rescheduling who was going to speak where. ''There is so much more I want to do,'' she said. ''But A.L.S., it has its own ideas.''
Photos: In 1939, Lou Gehrig, weakened by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, said goodbye to his fans at Yankee Stadium. His speech will be delivered again at 14 stadiums tomorrow, thanks to the efforts of Jenifer Estess, center, who has the same disease and founded Project A.L.S. with her sisters Valerie, left, and Meredith.

Brides Often Regret Not Spending More on Wedding Photography
If you're set to get married soon and are in the process of planning for the big day, here's a tip that might save you from some sadness further down the road: don't go cheap on the photography if you can help it. It turns out that spending too little on photography is one of the biggest regrets brides have after their wedding, while spending too much rarely causes remorse.
For a wedding issue that will soon be hitting newsstands, New York Magazine created an infographic titled "What They Would Have Done Differently." The magazine asked one hundred recent brides about what they'd do differently if they could go back in time.

Emerging Trend: "Instagram Moments" at Fashion Shows
New trend alert: Eric Wilson of the New York Times reports that fashion shows are starting to have built-in "Instagram moments," in which models stop to pose for unofficial Instagram snaps:
[…] runway shows are hard to photograph, especially from the sidelines using a cellphone. A lot of people miss the shows entirely, so focused are they on taking pictures that are almost always out of focus. It all becomes a blur.
At the end of Prabal Gurung's show this afternoon, however, all of the models walked onto the runway and stopped, each one taking a position under a spotlight and standing there for several seconds, offering an opportunity for editors to get a good shot. The same thing happened at the Creatures of the Wind show on Thursday. Call it the Instagram moment.

Happy New Year, Everyone! I hope your 2015 is off to a great start! Mine seems to be going at warp speed, but all is well so far!
I have lots of posts in the works for the new year, including tips on organization, homemade cleaning & beauty products, fun DIY projects, and more! I can't wait to share them with all of you!
But meanwhile…. here we are at Lunch box Round Up #10. This will make a grand total of 52 lunchbox ideas! I hope you have found several that your kids have enjoyed. I'd love to hear feedback about what they liked or didn't like about a particular lunch.
Well, since my kids have been back in school after the long Christmas break, they have only had 4-day school weeks (which is really nice, and I wouldn't mind having that ALL THE TIME! But I'll keep dreaming.) They started back on a Tuesday, then we had MLK day, then they had their very first snow day for this school year. I've also been allowing them to buy lunch at school on occasion, [cringe.] so I haven't had to pack very many lunches this month. But I've managed to come up with 5 new lunch box ideas for this post. I hope you enjoy!
Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, Homemade biscuit,
salad, salad dressing
This soup was left over from dinner the night before and I always love to serve biscuits with homemade chicken soup. I recently discovered this great homemade biscuit recipe that is so much healthier than the canned version, and they're so easy to make. I'll be making them this way from now on. A spinach, sprouts, pecan, and dried berries salad round out this healthy lunch.
Bread circles, cheese circles, ham chunks, berry medley, Vanana yogurt
It's a MOMable! I used one of my Tupperware smidget containers to cut the bread & cheese into circles, then added some chunks of ham for make-you-own mini sammies. I used to do this a lot in the beginning and I had forgotten about it until I recently saw it on my friend Keeley's bento blog. She makes some of the cutest lunches I've ever seen! It's just a nice change of pace then a big ole sandwich. The yogurt is my latest discovery from Trader Joe's. It's called Vanana, which is a combo of vanilla and banana. It's quite tasty, especially with berries mixed in. Yum.
cucumbers, carrots, homemade ranch dip,
peanut butter balls, dried tart cherries, yogurt tube
Homemade chili, homemade kale chips, cheese, chips, sour cream
My kids absolutely LOVE kale chips, and I love that I can get a bag of Kale from Trader Joe's that's already washed, cut up, and ready to bake! They're totally easy and so addicting! My tween daughter likes to put kettle popcorn seasoning on hers. I like them with just a little salt. They bake up nice and crisp and just melt in your mouth. Here's an easy recipe for baked kale chips. You should give it a try!
Omelet wrap, vanilla-almond granola, frozen berry medley,
orange-banana smoothie
To make the omelet wrap, I prep the eggs the night before. I add 2 lightly beaten eggs to a warm skillet with olive oil, and cook just till set. I then slide them onto a plate, lined with a flour tortilla. I then cover it with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge till morning. In the morning, I add chopped red peppers and green onions and mozzarella cheese, and roll it up. You could really add any veggie and cheese combo to this. It can be eaten cold, or gently heated in a microwave. Very tasty.
Well, I hope you've enjoyed this edition of Lunch box Round Up. Be sure and stay tuned for more posts coming your way!
In case you're wondering, those containers are called Easy Lunch Boxes and I totally love them. Click on over to get yours!
Happy packing!
With just a little thought and effort, and A LOT of Google, you can make great homemade gifts for everyone on your list. Here are a few ideas to get you started. I've been making various homemade gifts all week and I'll post more once I get finished with them. I won't get into all of the tutorials, but links to the tutorials I used will be included in each idea. Enjoy!
Sometimes it seems like our Christmas gift list is never-ending: family, friends, neighbors, teachers, youth leaders, Bible study group/youth group members, coaches, scout leaders, music instructors, babysitters, co-workers, bosses, school bus drivers, mail carriers, roommates, school staff (office, nurse, etc.)… but look on the bright side. That just means that you are blessed by THAT MANY people in your life! So here's a way to show them how grateful you are for them.
For the adults in your life…
First up, we have Sugar Scrub. Easy to make and people LOVE them!
recycled artichoke hearts jar
No need to buy any jars. Just recycle those from jelly, jam, baby food, etc. Marinated artichoke hearts happen to be my teenage son's favorite food and they make the perfect sized jar for gifts!
Here's the basic recipe I use for sugar scrub:
50% sugar
25% vegetable glycerin
25% carrier oil (almond oil, avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil)
5 – 10 drops essential oil (peppermint, lavender, orange, vanilla, lemon)
5 drops vitamin E oil (optional) this is great for skin and also acts as a preservative, making the scrub last longer
For one batch (approx. 4-6 oz.), start with 1/2 cup white granulated sugar, then add 2 tsp. of vegetable glycerin, and 2 tsp. of carrier oil. Stir the mixture until you get a good consistency (not too dry, not too oily.) Add more sugar, glycerin or oil as needed. Add vitamin E and essential oils and mix well. Scoop into jar and add a tag with instructions. I also threw in a pinch of red sugar crystals for color.
Here's the tutorial I used to decorate my jars. I saw it on Pinterest and just knew I would use it for my jar gifts this year.
Another great gift-in-a-jar are homemade mixes such as Ranch, Taco Seasoning, and Onion Soup Mix.
The homemade versions of these are much healthier than the store-bought ones. The recipes for all of these 3 can be found here. The Ranch recipe is a good basic one, but I also like to throw in some dill, basil, and black pepper as well. Just mix your ingredients in a measuring cup and use a funnel to pour it into a cute jar. I used a baby food jar. I also printed up the mixing directions and decoupaged them onto the back of the jar. I used the same method as I did on the sugar scrub jars to decorate it. (See above)
Next, we have an all natural, homemade vapor rub. 'Tis the season to be sick, so bless your loved ones with this wonderful aromatic, soothing remedy.
It's very quick and easy to make, and does not contain harmful petroleum jelly like that other kind. I used the recipe found here. I don't have a double boiler so I just used a pint-sized, wide-mouthed Ball jar in a medium sauce pan of water. As it turns out, this stuff works wonders on your skin too! Once you get a whiff of it, you'll never buy "Oh, what's his name?" in that little blue jar again!
For the (female) tweens, teens, college students & adults in your life…
How about some fun, wearable gifts? You won't BELIEVE what these are made from, and they are so easy and quick to make!
I know! Can you believe it?! Just trace your washer onto some scrapbook paper, fold in half to cut out your center (or use an Exacto knife,) and decoupage it onto your washer. Put a layer of Glossy Accents (usually found in the scrapbook section of craft stores) on top and you have a very attractive necklace! And it's SO INEXPENSIVE! The larger washers were 19 cents and the smaller ones were….. wait for it……. 13 CENTS EACH!! The small ones are great for tweens. Here's a tutorial on how to make them.
Here's another very cool necklace. This one is somewhat more difficult to make than the last one, and does require drilling a hole, but I wouldn't call it complicated, just a little more involved.
I just LOVE these fragments by Tim Holtz. They are just clear acrylic pieces that you can do lots of fun stuff with. Here's the tutorial for the necklaces. These make great teacher gifts!
These cozy, fleece tie blankets make excellent gifts for tweens and teens, and even on down to tiny newborn babies! (Just use less fabric.)
I made this one with my 11 year old. She comes out of her room almost every morning with it wrapped around her. She absolutely loves it. Fabric stores like Hancock's, Jo-Ann's, and even Hobby Lobby will often have fleece on sale for 40% – 50% off, making the cost for these blankets between $20 and $25 for 1 1/2 yards of each color. (For a baby, use 1 yard. For an adult, use 2 yards.) There are so many different prints of fleece, it's easy to find a style that's perfect for your gift recipient. Here's a tutorial on how to make them.
How about some festive, edible treats? Here we have Marshmallow Peppermint Pops. It is marshmallows on a stick, dipped in white chocolate, and sprinkled with crushed peppermint. MMMMmm.
These are very quick and easy, make a fun presentation, and no cooking skills are required! I like to use the Wilton Candy Melts (available at craft stores). They're very easy to work with and stays melted long enough for you to do an entire batch without it getting hard. To crush your peppermint, you can put candy canes or peppermint candies in a thick ziploc bag and beat it with a rolling pin, or use a manual food chopper. OR… you can just be totally lazy like me save yourself some time and energy and buy a bag of crushed peppermint. [Wink]
Here's a quick and easy idea for a homemade gift bag… from your recycling bin!
Take an empty cardboard box and cut it open along one of the side seams. Now you have this:
Now cut off one set of flaps, like this:
Now just fold your box inside out and use clear tape to tape the side that you cut. Use your box as a tracing template, and trim a piece of scrapbook paper, wrapping paper, or even fabric to cover the front, back, and sides of your box. You'll also want to tape your flaps ones you fold them in for extra support. Punch 2 holes near the top, on both sides and attach a ribbon handle. Voila! An adorable gift bag.
I'll be back with more ideas!
Happy gifting!
Disclaimer: Although these gifts are individually very inexpensive to make, they do require purchasing supplies and ingredients that may not seem so cheap. However, all of the ingredients and supplies used for these items have a decent "bulk" price, and you will have plenty on hand to make lots of multiples of these gifts, AND you'll have everything you need for a nice, last minute gift down the road, or just to whip up something for yourself. ; )
DIY iPod Sleeves — Great gifts!
I always look forward to whatever new "surprise projects" Becka puts on her wish list for me to make, especially at Christmastime. Last year it was the fun Christmas bag project. This past Christmas (2011), she wanted to give the kids some cool iPod sleeves. She had her heart set on this iPod sleeve, designed by Robyn at Dog Named Banjo…
… and this earbud pouch designed by Erin Erickson at Dog Under My Desk. (Does anyone see a trend here?)
Aren't they just so cute?! I think it's way cool that she just happened to find two random patterns, by two unrelated bloggers, and both blogs were named in honor of their beloved dogs—how serendipitous! I have come across many patterns for DIY projects online, and I have to say that both of these ladies did an amazing job with their tutorials, not only in the written description, but with tons and tons of high-quality pics. KUDOS to Erin and Robyn on that!
I made the iPod sleeve first. In her tutorial, Robyn does wisely caution her readers that different iPods may have different measurements. If there is one thing I would like to see her add to her tutorial, it's a little more descriptive detail as to the exact circumference—lengthwise and widthwise—of her iPod, so that the reader can make a better judgment as to whether or not adjustments are needed before cutting. Although it appeared that her measurements would work for Brittany's iPod, it turns out it was about 1/2" too short. Of course, even if that had not been the case, it still would have been back to the drawing board, because the sleeve is designed for a very snug fit, and after I finished it, Becka realized she forgot to tell me that Brittany's iPod would have a plastic casing around it (which it did not when I measured it). Oops! Thank goodness we had lots of leftover fabric!
After adding a little more length and width to the measurements, I made the second one. Robyn's instructions were easy-peasy to follow. If you decide to make one of these, I would suggest using a piece of muslin or scrap fabric to make the first one, keeping careful track of the measurements of the fabric. You don't have to make the sample according to the full-detailed tutorial—just make two separate, unlined sleeves, stuff a piece of the batting in between, and stuff one inside the other, then try it on and adjust the template/pattern if need be. Also, keep in mind that the iPod plastic casings that have a sort of rubbery feel don't slip in and out as easily as the metal casings do, but they still work. And if you are going to have a casing, be sure that it is on the iPod when you take the measurements!
The earbud cover came next. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it came together. The tutorial calls for a 5"-or-greater 1" zipper, but all we had on hand was a 4" zipper, which worked just fine, with very careful attention to the alignment. We used one of those little round keychain holder thingies to attach the earbud holder to the iPod. I love how they turned out! I have to make a confession that I am a little slow sometimes, and I didn't "get" that the musical pattern in the lining was a deliberate choice, because, well, it has a musical theme, for a music player. Duh!
Much to the surprise of both of us, Brandon said he would like to have one too. That wasn't in the original plan, because we assumed he would think it was too frou-frou. What do we know LOL! Becka happened to have some black music fabric as well, which would make it look more masculine. So I whipped one up for him too!
We had planned to make him an earbud cover as well, and we thought the thick sport zipper she had on hand would really add to the masculine look. But the sports zipper was so big and bulky that it made it impossible to achieve the perfect circle of the cover, so we abandoned that idea, at least for now.
I highly recommend these two patterns if you want to make your own cover. Both of these ladies have lots of other fun sewing projects on their blogs as well, and I may have to try some of them out too.
Happy sewing!

Any long-time Partiers recall Pinky the Traveling Flamingo?
Due to a number of life style changes and several moves over the last 15 or so years, I have not checked out the Garden Party in a LONNNGG time. There still must be some folks around from that time... :-) I tried doing a forums-wide search but found no reference to Pinky (or Pinkie, either).
Anyway, back in the mid-1990s, someone started a plastic garden flamingo on a journey, and "Pinky" began an around-the-world adventure to Partiers all over. People could put their names on a waiting list and eventually Pinky would arrive at their door in a box along with her travel journa. Photos of her adventures would be posted somewhere, or go into the box with her.
A new friend has invited me to a Flamingo Party, which set me to wondering if any are still in this forum that enjoyed a visit from Pinky. As for me, I have a big box of unsorted photos in a cardboard box I just brought down from the attic. I need to find my Pinky photos to take to the party March 3!
Here is a post from 2008 that mentions pinkie and also has some pictures. Many popped into this thread that have not been seen for some time.
Here is a link that might be useful: What happened to the old GP days?
Of course I remember Pinkie. She stayed with us for two weeks, as I dragged her pink carcass over over the county taking pictures of her. Her baby was named Dianthus. Pinkie went to visit down under and never returned. It may have been "FOWL" play. LOL
Another Pinkie rememberer....but never a host. I think Pinkie went to a gt once or twice....
I still have a flamingo sweater bought with Pinky in mind and worn to a GT or so...
Saw it in a spare closet and thought I really should get rid of that.....then thought...naaah!! LOL!
I am "tickled pink" that Pinkie is still in the hearts & minds of some of us! LOL
A special thanks to don_socal for the link, "What happened to the old GP days?" Wow, what a stroll down memory lane! Neat to hear some of the names of folks I still remember, and have a bit of an update on where they are now.
I had drifted away from the gang before Dicken passed on to the Eternal Garden...so sad to read that.
Spent the better part of a morning going thru the box of old photos I have but found only a few pictures of Pinky. I had taken her to a Civil War re-enactment on our little town in SW PA where she met with the brave nurses that traveled with the troops. Among the photos I had was one of her on a makeshift table with a nurse in costume dressing a "wound" on Pinkie's leg. :-) Had another one of Pinkie being held by a slightly bemused modern-day EMT that was also there, and of course several pics of her among the various pink flowers in my garden. Unfortunately, I found none of these better pictures. Cannot imagine where I put them for "safe-keeping" but someday when I least expect it I imagine they will surface!
Anyway, thanks to those of you who responded, and for the pleasant nostalgia trip! Best wishes to all GPers for a terrific gardening year. CK
Well, I sure am glad I stopped in for a quick visit and discovered this post! What a wonderful trip down memory lane!
Loved reading the older post, too. I'm happy to report that Robert and I are doing great! It seems like he took pictures of Pinky during her ill-fated visit with him...I'll see if he can resurrect them.
Love to you all...and I'll be sure to post more often.

Vinegar Question
I am looking at some canning recipes and they call for "cider vinegar". I have been to all the grocery stores nearby and none have "cider vinegar" but they do have "apple cider vinegar" and one had "red wine vinegar".
Call me confused. I need some help. Thanks to all. Gene
Yep, cider vinegar is apple cider vinegar. Do look closely at the label and make sure it says 5% acidity. Most are, but some store brands are not.
Canning recipes are tested with 5% vinegar. Vinegars are interchangeable in recipes, but they do have different tastes. White vinegar is sharper, cider vinegar is more fruity and mellow but can darken some things like pickles, and red wine vinegar goes with tomato sauces really well.
As long as they are at least 5% acidity, you can use any vinegar. I've started experimenting with malt vinegar in chutneys, for example, which adds another level of flavor.
