Getting Back in Shape After the Holidays – Don't Rush It!
Now that the holidays are behind us, the damage inflicted on waistlines and other body parts bearing the marks of every dietary misdeed, no matter how harmless and forgivable it seemed at the time, will be lamented by millions. But I say, no need for self-flagellation. What's done is done. Let bygones be bygones, we'll do better […] [Read More]
Americans Still Eat Too Much and Pick the Wrong Foods, Latest Survey Finds
On average, Americans have become more health-conscious in recent year. Fewer of us smoke and more engage in regular exercise, although perhaps still not enough. But when it comes to our eating habits, unfortunately not much has changed, despite enormous efforts to raise greater awareness of the obesity crisis and its dismal effects on people's health. While […] [Read More]
Ingrained Eating Habits Are Hard to Change, Studies Find
Americans may be better informed about matters of diet and nutrition than ever before, but that does not necessarily change their behavior, according to a number of studies, including several conducted by the restaurant industry. Although many popular chain restaurants are trying to give consumers healthier alternatives to their traditional fares, the better-for-you stuff doesn't sell […] [Read More]
Reintroducing Cooking in American Households an Unlikely Prospect, Study Finds
Americans don't like to cook. They don't want to spend the time it takes for food shopping, food preparation and clean up, especially when it's so much easier to stop for a quick bite at a restaurant or drive-thru or bring home some take-out. Yet, experts are convinced that making home cooking fashionable again would […] [Read More]
Even Health-Conscious Consumers Find It Hard to Maintain a Healthy Diet
It's a proven fact that most people change their eating habits and lifestyle choices only after a serious health scare such as a heart attack or a diabetes diagnosis. Still, in many cases that may not be enough. Old habits tend to die hard, but often there are also not many alternatives to what they've […] [Read More]
Use of Pesticides Continues to Make Some Foods Unsafe for Consumption

A London Drug Dealer Just Went to Prison After Taking Selfies with Wads of Cash
This man got so carried away with his own hype that he pretended stacks of cash were a cell phone.
This man got so carried away with his own hype that he pretended stacks of cash were a cell phone.
Tanayah Sam was about to be convicted for armed robbery before skipping bail and heading to Yemen to study Islam—a decision that saved his life.
Over the past decade, Myuran Sukumaran has painted countless portraits of those around him. With he and Andrew Chan's executions possibly days away, we asked some artists to return the favour.
Many swear by the addiction-ridding powers of the controversial psychotropic plant, but it remains banned in Australia.
We spoke to two British vets about the stuff they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Garry Fraser grew up in Muirhouse, an estate north of Edinburgh that was being decimated by heroin and AIDS. After escaping from a crippling crack addiction, he started making films and is now a BAFTA and MTV Award winner.
While Sydney's supervised injecting room has been a widely accepted success, the Victorian government still opposes a facility in Melbourne.
Indonesian president Joko Widodo has been accused of selectively choosing drug death statistics that have the greatest impact to serve his political aims.
You obviously shouldn't drive under the influence, but some influences are worse than others.
Roy in Hollywood is a gateway comic to other great comics by the legendary and super talented Gilbert Hernandez, one half of the Love and Rockets creative brothership, Los Bros Hernandez.
Chan's plea for clemency was rejected earlier this month. As an alleged ringleader of the Bali Nine drug smuggling ring he will now face imminent execution.
Despite all indications to the contrary, anti death penalty advocates believe there is still hope that Australian citizens Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran will escape execution in Indonesia.
Along with plenty of shady characters, the business offers a window into the changing drug habits of rural, white America.
All the talk about rising oxycodone prescriptions in the UK causing a middle-class heroin crisis is gold-plated baloney.
Wine casks and lava lamps are two of the more surprising ways people tried to bring drugs into Australia with last year.
Benzos might soften the blow of the odd comedown, but trust me: The more you rely on it, the more powerful it becomes.
For years, getting wasted when Moscow's dictators didn't want you to was a victory of wits for the Russian masses.
Amsterdam's relaxed approach to drug enforcement shows how harm reduction policies can work.
VICE News went to Massachusetts to see how effective Narcan—a nasal spray that can halt opiate overdoses instantly—has been in stopping fatal overdoses.
Three Brits have died in the past couple of months after snorting white heroin that they believed to be cocaine. Is this the fault of an inexperienced, idiotic dealer, or someone deliberately doling out death?
We spoke to its director and star, Angus Sampson, about becoming a troubled genius.
This is how the United Kingdom would be taking drugs if the law had anything to do with how harmful they actually are.
As heroin use surges among the general public, the drug has become a mainstay in the prison system, where the common overdose treatment Naloxone is still hard to come by.

Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: Nava Telangana Party president T. Devender Goud on Monday called on senior BJP leader L.K. Advani, CPI general secretary A.B. Bardhan and Janata Dal (U) president Sharad Yadav at New Delhi to seek their support for separate Telangana.
Mr. E. Peddi Reddy, senior Nava Telangana Party leader, accompanying Mr. Goud, told The Hindu over phone that all of them promised to support a bill on statehood for Telangana if it was introduced in Parliament.
Large delegation
Mr. Goud is leading a large delegation from the State in New Delhi to drum up support for separate Telangana. He is scheduled to meet Mr. Advani again on Tuesday since the delegation could not reach New Delhi by the time he called on the latter.
The visitors are also hoping to get United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi's appointment on Tuesday. They are also supposed to meet CPI (M) general secretary Prakash Karat and other national leaders, including Ram Vilas Paswan and Ajit Singh, during the day.
Mr. Peddi Reddy said the delegation would stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar if it did not get an appointment with Ms. Gandhi.

|Editors' Essays and bloGS
"America has become amnesiac— a country in which forms of historical, political, and moral forgetting are not only willfully practiced but celebrated. The United States has degenerated into a social order that is awash in public stupidity and views critical thought as both a liability and a threat. Not only is this obvious in the presence of a celebrity culture that embraces the banal and idiotic, but also in the prevailing discourses and policies of a range of politicians and anti-public intellectuals who believe that the legacy of the Enlightenment needs to be reversed."
The Crisis Papers editors, Drs. Weiner & Partridge, are available for public speaking appearances.

GMIC added a post in a topic: Queries to be run manually when upgradingI mistakenly did not run a manual process and it caused the whole upgrade to irreparably crash. This required me to reload all my backups and start again. Second time round running the manual queries worked well and everything upgraded properly. Lesson learnt the hard way.
GMIC added a post in a topic: Images not showing in postsNew posts show the images correctly, is this part of the background rebuild process and I just need to be patient on this as I have a large forum ?
GMIC added a post in a topic: Images not showing in postsI have upgraded to RC4 but no images are showing in posts. When I click on edit the images are there but not showing in normal view. Am I missing some setting to display images?
GMIC added a post in a topic: IPS 4.0 Physical Marketplace (classifieds)One thing that I have been desperate to have is a new version of Classified sales for 4.0 and I take it that the proposed Physical Market Place will be just that.
Please can you consider giving the seller the ability to specify what currency they want to list the sale in. I run a multinational forum and many sellers want to list their sales in a local currency. Now I am not suggesting that you can cater for all currencies but certainly the ability to list items in US CDN AUS $, GBP £ and EUR € would be a great help.
GMIC added a post in a topic: Theme Upload problemThanks for the help I have updated the php.ini on the server.

GMIC added a post in a topic: Smart Image Handling for AttachmentsImage size has always been a confusing issue with IPB. I would like a simplistic way of setting maximum image sizes per members group by file size. This combined with the ability for members to upload any size images and the images will be automatically reduced to the maximum limit. I know this is just about currently achievable but it is not straightforward to set up and the size reduction is rather random.

Sewing Tales to Stitch and Love
By Kerry Goulder
Gifted by FW Media
Reviewed by Melissa Conner, Editor of FaveCrafts.com
All of my favorite stories start with the same 4 words..."once upon a time". From beloved fairy tales to whimsical stories my dad would make up as he tucked me in at night, any story that begins with those 4 fantastic words is sure to be one that's cherished for years to come.
As creaters, we know that our projects almost always tell a story. Whether you're using your grandma's cherished comforter to create your own quilt, or you're gathering up your most cherished tee shirts to assemble into a large meaningful blanket, any time we put pen to paper, needle to fabric, or glue to cardboard, we're telling a story of love and appreciation...and any time a handmade project results in a meaningful gift, well, that's the happily ever after we all love!
Filled with 18 whimsical toy patterns, Sewing Tales to Stitch and Love is the perfect book for the storytelling sewist. With patterns for creating cute gnomes, whimsical wildlife, and other adorable toys, this book may inspire you to create your own fun stories with your children. To get your story going, try creating Piper & Sage, a pair of whimsical gnomes that love exploring the forest floor. You could even create an Adventurer's Backpack for them to use to tote all their findings and treasures. Set the tone for your story by sewing up some Magical Mushrooms or have Piper & Sage go on a nautical adventure where they listen to stories of the sea told to them by Morton the Painted Turtle. As you can see, the possibilities are endless with this amazing collection of fun and whimsical characters.
Perfect for sewists of all skill levels, Sewing Tales to Stitch and Love contains lots of full-color photography and has step-by-step images and instructions for creating all 18 patterns. It also comes with all the patterns you need for creating these projects, so gather up your favorite fabric, grab a pair of scissors, and get ready to transform your mind (and your fabric stash!) into a magical and mythical wonderland.

Hi Penny,
There is a lot of Cardone/Cardoon and burdock confusion. Cardone is a zone 7 and higher perennial, so it does not grow in this area. It is very closely related to Artichokes. It is generally harvested in the fall after the stems have grown for the season. This is sold at Wegmans during the winter early spring. It looks like Mutant celery.
Now somehow, when the Italians came here, they realized burdock, which of course is a readily available weed, that looks like Rhubarb, tasted like cardone. So the Italians call it Cardone/cardoon/ Cardooni/Gardooni/etc. Though also in the thistle family, it is not a close relative of artichoke like cardone. It is harvested in the spring.
So I will be making the burdock cardoon for everyone. It is cooked to be like fritters sort of. After cleaning, cutting up into small pieces, and boiling, it is mixed with eggs Italian breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. If you like artichokes, you'll like it.
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday!
I've got a couple of white irises I'll dig up for you Rosalinda...I also have diablo ninebark but it doesn't appear to have any shoots off of it. Can you root it?
Hilde, I might have a couple of unknown varieties of phlox. I've got several but the tags faded so I don't remember which is which until they bloom.
Brenda, I've got your plants already to go. The galardia looks a little wilty but I got plenty of root so hopefully it perks up. If not, I'll get you some more.
Tauna, I've got bee balm set aside for you.
Is anyone looking for any particular Iris? I've got so many now, and most are in bloom but it seems most years people don't end up taking them. If anyone is looking for any specific colors/varieties, let me know.
I am new to gardening and have just tried sowing seeds this year, so I won't have much to bring to the swap. What I can bring are golden acorn squash seedlings, lemon balm seedlings (very tiny), joe pye weed seedlings (again, very tiny), and some echinacea purpurea (common type that everyone seems to already have, lol). Anyone interested in these small, common little plants?
Hi Tara,
I love phlox and will take your unknown variety! Thanks! Do you want me to bring you everbearing raspberry this year? (Caroline and Heritage)
Shropshire, this is my 2nd plant swap, and I am a novice gardener too. This is so much fun, and everyone are so nice, you will love it!
OK Hilde, I'll pull one or two of the unknown phlox for you in the morning. Do you want Prarie Phlox too? Or just the garden phlox? No raspberries for me this year. Unfortunately we're having to move again. :( So I'm mainly just looking for things to fill the holes where I'll be pulling plants to move with me. Now next year I may be looking for some though!
What an absolutely wonderful plant swap it was!!!!! All of you who missed it, missed a great time, good food, wonderful plants, and a outstanding group of people.
Thank you to everyone who brought so many interesting plants. I had so much fun and am already looking forward to next year.
Tara, you and Scott are really incredible hosts.

Actually it is a real job. The lessens from mothers to daugthers in child birth are less and less, so there are people that do bridge that gap of knowledge.

What a difference!
We just put up some shutters, and, Wow! is it different! Our house was fairly plain on the outside.
A local handyman who is very good at his work created these custom shutters for us that actually work (and are a great way to block out that hot sun on days like today as our front faces south). He did a great job! The color is so bold compared to that old that it's going to take some getting used to, I think, but it certainly does brighten up the place!
I think he did a great job. If anybody needs shutters near Rochester, NH, I'd highly recommend him!
It really is a bold color...really!
I think it's a beautiful bright cheerful color! Your builder did a great job!
I miss my shutters. After we built the addition we never replaced our old shutters. Ours were on hinges too but they didn't meet in the middle when closed so weren't actually usable.
Your lupine looks amazingly healthy and beautiful, and all your gardens reflect all the care you must give them. Very pretty!
Thanks for helping me feel better. They really are...bright. I knew they would brighten up the house, but they're really bright!
My husband is the picky one about colors, so he picked it out. He says at first it was bolder than he imagined, but now he likes it. I'm still a little shell-shocked!
Thanks for the complements! The garden still has many holes to be filled with perennials that are still babies, but we're getting there! Next year will have more garden space. YEA! My youngest girl insists she get a patch of her own, and I'm very happy to give her her own little corner in the garden.
I love the shutters! It's amazing what a difference they make. We had our house sided (against my better judgment but let DH win this one, lol) and didn't pay to get shutters in the back. The company kept saying that most people only put them on the front and why bother with the back? Well, we enter through the back 90% of the time, and we spend a lot of time out there, so I called them back and had them put shutters on - and I have been glad ever since.
Mine aren't quite as bold as yours are, lol, but then I'm kind of wimpy when it comes to color (my house is beige - need I say more?). I love the fact that they actually WORK - I didn't think anyone had working shutters these days. Very cool.
Enjoy - and enjoy that lovely garden of yours too!
Our shutters, circa 1973, were bright yellow too. :-)
Unfortunately today's paints (especially those hues with red or orange) fade the first year, so you might find your shutters a paler yellow after a year of sun exposure. I have a heck of a time repainting the red doors on our southern side as they fade to pink each year.
Some people confuse brightness with contrast. Generally a good choice of contrast will give you the definition you want. Historically,shutters were not meant to be decorative. Shutters are used to control solar infiltration and breezes. Front side,back side - it is irrelevant,shutters belong on the side of the house where solar control is needed.
I would have gone with the same color as your window boxes, but if you like them, that is all that matters.
Historically most things were originally designed for pragmatic purposes, but isn't it nice to have a feature that is at once both practical and decorative?
I disagree that these shutters contrast with the house color. Rather the shutters bring out the warmth within the green siding, which does have a fair amount of yellow to it.
I think you are confusing "contrast" with "clash." Contrast just means the two colors have a differet level of darkness. Ultimate contrast is white and black. The point I was trying to make is that, if you want an element to pop, contrast is more important than brightness. They could have just as easily gone with a color notably darker or notably lighter than the house and gotten a good effect. They didn't need to go with such a bright color like the gold they picked. It's a tough color for the outside of a house. But if they like it, it is perfect.
No I'm not confusing 'contrast' with 'clash,' although I think I did misinterpret what you wrote. I guess you were advocating a contrasting color, while I tend to like blending colors. To me the yellow is more of a blend with the yellowish green siding (in terms of color, not brightness) than purple (color of the windowboxes.)
Contrast simply means differing, and it can apply to dark vs light shades of the same or different colors, or to differing unrelated colors of any shade such as yellow and blue.
Clash is a rather biased term that exists pretty much in the eye of the beholder.
Deanna, I think anyone living on the border of zone 4 needs to have as much color year-round as possible! Yup, at first glance it was a tad shocking, but the more I look at it, I see life, whimsy, and youth in a house that must hug a good family. Good choice for the dark days of winter too!
Jane :)
Hello Deanna,
Yes the shudders are bright. Isn't that wonderful! Color is magic to the soul. With a dark colored house, I don't think you could have made a better choice. It made me smile, just as much as your beautiful front garden did.
Congratulations on getting them up! Do they open and close from the inside or do you have to open the windows to open and close them?
Thanks for all the comments and encouragement! Yes, whitegarden, it is in the eye of the beholder, and I must admit that while my husband's eye is pleased my eyes are certainly still a bit shocked. I can most definitely understanding many people looking at the color and wondering what we were thinking! Thanks for the graciously put opinion and comments.
Spedigrees, they do look similar to the color of your shutters from 1973. And, speaking of paint fading, I wonder if the house stain, which is 13 years old, were to be refreshed the shutters would be not just bold and cheery, but more harmonious. The fading of the green is more obvious with the new shutters.
I had not even thought of the color brightening up winter's grey--never entered my mind! I love NH winters, but my husband suffers from the common winter exhuastion right around February through March and he climbs the walls for some sunshine. I think you're right, corunum, in that it will certainly help him get through the winter.
Blake, they only shut from the outside. We could shut them from the inside but our screens go the whole length of the window and are either in the window or out of the window. I have an extension arm to shut the upper shutters. The issue of shutting them with the flower boxes was a snag, but the current boxes are rotted and are to be replaced this year. I decided that the new boxes will sit just a bit lower so trailing plants will be out of the way, and that any tall flower (like those geraniums) will be planted in a pot in the box. When I need to shut the shutters I'll just remove the pot and the flowers won't get in the way. Sound complicated? Not really. That southern exposure heats up so quickly on our hot days that a simple moving of pots will be a small price to pay for some shelter from the heat! And shutters on the outside will be much better heat blockers than drapes on the inside.
I am very grateful that our southern exposure coincides with the front of the house. Shutters ain't cheap, and we killed two birds with one stone with both looks and needed functionality.
Even though the color is bright, I do prefer any potential over-brightness to the older drab look! It's a great house, but drab was the only way to describe it.
Husband also loves the industrial look, so he designed the hinges using galvanized pipe. By the time he's finished our house won't be federal anymore, it will be eclectic!
Hi Deanna,
We are having a rainy, windy day..... good day to catch up on computer work. It is so cold here; it hard to beleive its late June! Husbands and wives can certainly have different perspectives on many things especially decor! I gave up a long time ago in getting the look I felt comfotable with; and with four cats that like to ruin every new sofa I get, I kind of gave into them too. I have the typical New Engand colonial look. White clapboad with black shutters, high pitch roof, Greek fluted colums at the door way. Yet, my husband wanted to paint blue stars all the way up the chimney! I have a more traditional comfort level decor wise. He has a more whimsical one. I didn't let him paint the stars on the chimney but through the years the whimiscal has established strong roots along with the traditional. Such is the decor in my life, but my relationship, the more important is just spectacular!
Deanna: I love the yellow shutters, it makes the house cheery and unique and probably unlike any others in the neighborhood. To me, that's a good thing.
Blake: Blue stars all the way up the chimney? Wonderful!
When I was building my addition I looked at the white columns and mentioned to the builder that I was getting tired of all the understated good taste. I said I was considering painting red stripes on the columns like on a barber pole. He choked and said not while he was on the project. I wouldn't have done it anyway at that time, but I'm outside on the deck looking at a column now, and thinking how good it would look with blue stars all over it......
BTW Deanna, I love the hinges that your builder fashioned from sections of metal pipe. That's just the sort of innovative, durable, practical look that appeals to me. If I lived closer and had any home projects I needed done I'd ask the contact info of this inventive carpenter. It's hard to find a builder who can think outside the box.
Mustard yellow went out about 50-60 years ago and to my knowledge, it hasn't made a comeback. I can't remember any time in my life that galvanized pipe was ever in style. I think you just decreased your property value by several thousand dollars. If you have neighbors, they are probably livid because you have decreased their property value, too. However, I'm a big believer in doing what you want with your own property. If this is what floats your boat then so be it. I agree with whitegarden wholeheartedly. Shutters that were painted the same plum color as your window boxes would have been far more attractive.
First off, Deanna's yellow is not mustard yellow. It's bright yellow. According to one color trends website, bright yellow is not popular in the US but very popular with Europeans. Perhaps Deanna's shutters are ahead of the next trend which the color marketing association predicts will be Honey Moon. This looks more like the color of butterscotch hard candy to me but the wall color shown in the link it close to what we painted our LR in 2009. Bet the future color trends get brighter as they move away from the current subdued colors.
The outside of our house is New England farmhouse white. No shutters. The inside was totally renovated and much more colorful although subdued colors. My husband doesn't like change and we're the fifth generation to live in the house.
When we went on a kitchen tour a few years ago in the Kittery ME area, I was surprised to see so many kitchens that were either industrial or ethnic looking. I don't particularly care for concrete countertops, subway tile and glass tiles but a lot of other people do. Industrial chic is very popular in some places. I think the shutter hinges are ingenious. If we put shutters on our house, that might be the way to go. Useful trumps decorative. Fortunately when we lived here a short time in the early 70s, my husband transplanted a maple to the south side of the house. It now provides perfect shade and we have not had to put blinds or shades on our bank of south facing kitchen windows.
The room I use as an art studio is a nice sunflower yellow with pale cream woodwork. It's such a happy place to work.
Loved Deanna's other post showing the combination of bright flowers and feverfew. Good inspiration for me. My circle garden needs thinning and I was in a yellow mood when it was planted. Coronation gold yarrow, thread-leaf coreopsis, yellow lilies and a fourth yellow flower from our swap needs some other color. The lupines (purple and reddish-pink) are almost done, some purple veronica in the front is doing fine and white phlox in the rear aren't in bloom yet. A wine and roses wigelia is hidden in the middle. But I think more yellow in Deanna's garden would be great.
Here is a link that might be useful: Color Marketing
T.O. is a troll and feeding a troll is never a good idea.
However you make a good point, Defrost, in that Deanna's house does look very European in style. This hadn't occurred to me but your observation is spot on.
I would venture to guess that Deanna has no interest in pursuing any trend, but rather chooses to select decor that she and her other half like. Adopting a style because it is popular, rather than aesthetically pleasing, is probably one of the poorest life decisions anyone can make IMO.
(Personally I LOVE concrete as well as stone countertops, but steer clear of them because I'm afraid of the effect of all that weight on my house's beams and timbers! I'm paranoid probably, but structural integrity is everything to me, so I just drool silently at countertops made from concrete and recycled materials and content myself with cheaper and lighter formica.)
Well, tree_oracle may be right. It is just possible that my family is stuck in the 70's. Pictures at the end of this message!
(spedigrees and defrost, I think we make a great trio!)
The European yellow almost identical to ours was given the name "Emperor's Yellow" by my tour guide when I toured Schonbrunn Castle in Vienna, home of the influential Hopsburgs, who shaped European monarchies for generations. Schonbrunn has maintained that color. What a beautiful sight to see! Many many palatial buildings are painted this color with a lighter trim, and it is truly beautiful. I have an Italian friend who painted his house that color, and as soon as I saw it I asked, "Just like the palaces?" That was indeed why he chose that color!
We do love industrial effects. Just visited with a good German friend yesterday (boy, am I sounding cultured now!) who showed me pictures of his green-energy German home he built, which is an ecological dream. It is industrial and looks absolutely fantastic.
My husband loves concrete countertops. Me, not so much, but only because I've never seen a concrete floor without a stain, and no matter how much they say they can seal the counter I always believe it will stain. Some stains are patina, concrete stains are just stains. I'm always function over form!
As for property value, the appraiser yesterday (you can see our in-process garage project in one of the pictures below) was impressed with the working shutters. He said encouraging things. Maybe we didn't take thousands off the value, after all. But, since we're not going to sell anytime soon (knock on wood...Lord, thank you for your many blessings to us this far) it is a moot point.
As for being stuck in the 70's, I think we're guilty as charged. Just got a 1979 vintage Wanderlodge for vacationing. I and my 69-year-old missionary mother got the enhanced TSA pat down (really a sex up more than a pat down) last fall, and we will never ever put our children in that situation. Thus, this year's airfare vacation is axed, and hello to road traveling. Good-bye garage cash, you were sunk into an RV, but it was worth every penny. Nobody can feel us up in our own RV...for now.
Then, just after that, my husband was clearly feeling spoiled and found an amazing price on a 1976 Cadillac, the model he's always wanted. So, he has the toy of his dreams, and it's in mint condition. Also a motivator to go ahead and finish the garage. New England is hard without a garage.
1970's here we come! Yellow, RV's, and Cadillacs--all I need is some bellbottoms!
Thanks, Blake. Isn't it an ironic coincidence? What a slogan.
The Wanderlodge RV comes from down South, and I even feel a little redneck in it because the sign on the back window comes complete with an authentic misspelling. It says, "Vintage Wonderlodge." Cracks me up.
Deanna, you're a riot! Eclectics unite!
Maybe the misspelled 'Wonderlodge' was a deliberate play on words. (I'd take it that way since I'm sort of stuck in the 1960s.) Seriously that's a nice looking RV and you guys should have a delightful time this summer.
I don't blame you about the air travel. We also gave up jet travel because the third degree just isn't worth it.
I hope you and your hubby get miles of enjoyment out of your new vintage vehicles. They both look in mint condition.

Hi: 10° Lo:7°
By David Lawrence Friday 08 August 2014 Updated: 08/08 16:58
SEVERAL lorry loads of rubbish have been cleared from Lodge Pool after teams of volunteers waded in to the stricken Redditch beauty spot.
And a Redditch company has also offered nearly £1,800 to help restock the water and replace vital equipment after the popular fishing pool was partially drained as reported by the Standard two weeks ago.
A group of between 20 and 30 fishermen managed to lift some of the half-submerged rubbish from the lake before a group of volunteers from Park Farm company Alcoa Fastening Systems boosted the clear-up in addition to making the cash donation.
Shopping trollies, prams, bikes and a double bed were among the items dragged out of the water along with a large amount of wood.
Mike Padgett, secretary of Lodge Park Angling Association, said three skips had already been filled including a huge industrial one.
"We had a group of fishermen who got stuck in during the week and then we had the group down from Alcoa," he said.
"A lot of rubbish has been cleared away.
"All we need now is for the levels to get back to normal. The rain at the weekend certainly helped and we are now probably about 17 or 18 inches lower than we should be.
"We know we have lost a lot of fish but won't know exactly how many until we start fishing again at the end of September. We will have to see what the catches are then."
Mr Padgett added that some of the cash from Alcoa Fastening Systems will go towards replacing the aeriation units dotted around the pool.
Volunteers from the company included apprentices, office staff and senior management.
Managing director Paul Brown said: "Within the culture and values of the Alcoa Corporation is a drive to give something back to areas of the community where it's business operations are located.
"As a local business we are happy to help wherever we can."

WHY has been helping people for over 3 decades. Their goal isn't to feed people, but to help people learn to feed themselves. Their grassroots efforts to educate the public about hunger, the causes, and the sustaining potential solutions are critical in today's world.

Will you volunteer or donate to this organization?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
WHY is an excellent and incredibly important organization that works on a grassroots level to address the root problem with hunger and poverty. They are a highly organized, efficient group of folks that understand you must approach the issue of hunger and poverty from across several different disciplines and with a wide array of tools -- an essential understanding of these intertwined issue. Each member of the staff I met during an event was passionate and committed, and most importantly, focused. Needless to say, they are performing some essential work, and doing a fantastic job as they do it.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Saw their Hungerthon public broadcast and learned more about their efforts during a volunteer effort working with youth in poverty.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Ensure wider exposure is possible in the media. It's unfortunate that WhyHunger's efforts don't seem to be reported in many major publications.
WHY is doing the type of work that needs to be done in this country -- and often falls through the cracks. They deserve to be recognized for their important contributions to the lives of so many people.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the WHY media awards -- recognizing the kind of important journalism for hunger and poverty that is often not recognized by financial means and needs to be supported!
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
I was recently involved with WHY through the band that I work with and their involvement with the Hard Rock Cafe's IMAGINE THERE'S NO HUNGER program. We had an amazing opportunity to go and do two site visits at New York City urban farms last month. It was incredible to see what these communities were able to develop in the most unlikely of places such as an abandon lot or a space adjacent to a NYC subway stop. With the help of WHY these farms are providing so much to the community: wonderful fresh produce, work skills for teenagers, involvement of the whole community including preschoolers and seniors, and so much more. The team of people working at WHY are a great group of people and so dedicated and passionate about the work that they do. I really look forward to working with them again in the future and continuing to help support WHY and their amazing programs.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

What's my Aynsley China tea cup & saucer worth?
Hi there!
I have an Aynsley England china "The Cup of Knowledge" tea cup and saucer. The mark on the underside is of the crown with "Aynsley" written above and "England" written below. This link suggests to me that this mark is from 1905-1925. This is the link (scroll down):
However, both cup and saucer are also marked in red ink a code: 4914F
As well as these markings, the cup has a black printed number "No 702537" written on its underside which looks like this (look at the final image - note that the green marking is different in this image):
Any ideas what these marks could mean, and how much the cup and saucer could be worth?
Thanks! Dom

Warrants charging a 30-year-old teacher at South Jackson Elementary School with two counts of battery have been issued by the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, a department official said Thursday.
Laura Helen McKown of Athens is alleged to have grabbed two kindergarten students, ages 5 and 6, earlier this week with enough force to cause bruising, authorities said. McKown, who has worked in the Jackson County school system since 2006, had not been booked into the Jackson County Jail as of Thursday evening.
Barrow County authorities issued an alert Thursday asking people to avoid any wildlife seen in the area near Winder-Barrow High School after a raccoon killed in the area tested positive for rabies.
Barrow County Animal Control Director Jimmy Terrell also said a second dead raccoon was found nearby.
The first raccoon was collected Tuesday when a homeowner on Meadowbrook Drive in Winder heard a noise outside his home and found his cat fighting with a raccoon, Terrell said.
"He shot the raccoon and the cat ran off," he said.
A South Jackson Elementary School teacher was suspended Wednesday following a complaint from a parent that her 5-year-old child was injured by the teacher.
"The teacher has been suspended with pay until the investigation is completed," Jackson County sheriff's Capt. Rich Lott said. "We have an interview set up (today) for the student."
Authorities would not detail what is alleged to have happen, although reports show the child's arm was bruised.
Two Barrow County men were among 14 suspects, including an elementary school principal, arrested Sunday in a sting operation targeting child predators.
The men, Richard Roger Tumlin, 49, of Bethlehem, and Kennith Walker, 48, of Winder, were both charged in a Dekalb County-based undercover investigation called "Operation Broken Heart," according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Details on where the Winder men were arrested had not yet been released Monday morning. They are charged with electronic pornography under the Child Exploitation Prevention Act.
The groundbreaking for an expansion of the Madison County Jail will likely take place in early summer, officials said Friday.
"It all depends on the company that we select and how long it takes them to get the design back to us," Madison County Board of Commissioners Chairman Anthony Dove said.
The expansion of the jail, which has 64 beds, would increase by least 32 new beds.
"We'll try to get 48 beds, but if we can't it will be 32," Madison County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Shawn Burns said.
The annual spring book sale for the Madison County Library in Danielsville opens next week with thousands of books available for hungry readers.
The fundraiser begins Thursday evening with a special three-hour sale for members of the Friends of the Library, a volunteer group that assist the library with events and other programs.
The sale is open to the general public during normal library hours from Friday through March 15 inside the Jere Ayers Room located near the entrance to the library.
Brandon Coile took on a new job as a jailer at the Oconee County Sheriff's Office in early December, but just weeks later he lay in an Atlanta hospital bed struggling to live.
At just 28 years old, he suffered a brain aneurysm that prompted two surgeries and long stays in intensive care, sheriff's Executive Assistant Tammy Gilstrap said.
Coile is still hospitalized, but he is making progress, she said.
The University of Georgia's Internal Auditing Division completed a review of the financial accounts handled by a former employee recently charged with stealing from a youth sports organization in Madison County.
The audit did not reveal any improprieties, officials said Thursday.
The audit report regarding the investigation into Sherry Hawkes' work at the Carl Vinson Institute of Government "had no adverse findings," UGA spokesman Tom Jackson said.
The partial skeleton of a human found this week in Banks County was transported to the State Crime Lab on Thursday to see what forensic scientists can determine as to its identity, authorities said.
"We don't have any tentative identification right now and I don't know what we'll be able to get in terms of the manner of death," Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Mike Ayers said.
The partial skeleton was found scattered in a wooded area behind a hotel at the Banks Crossing shopping area off U.S. Highway 441.
A 35-year-old Hoschton man was arrested this week on charges he helped plan a home invasion a month ago in Jackson County.
In that crime, the alleged male victim was beaten and the female victim forced to disrobe.
Joshua Adonis Finch was charged Monday with burglary and parties to the crimes of armed robbery and false imprisonment, according to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.
The two men who actually robbed the victims are still being sought, Capt. Rich Lott said Wednesday.
