Monday, August 25, 2014
People came out in droves this week after hearing Charleston Animal Society's urgent plea for adopters to help ease the shelter's overcrowding issue. "What a difference 5 days and a lot of love from the community can make," said Charleston Animal Society Chief Executive Officer Joe Elmore. "Last week, we had animals in cages lining the hallways," he said, "now, thanks to 286 adoptions, we can breathe a little easier, at least for a little while."
The Animal Society facility at 2455 Remount Road is built to house 230 animals, but in the past two weeks, 251 dogs and 464 cats in need of homes had been brought to the Lowcountry's largest animal rescue organization.
To help with the overcrowding, Charleston Animal Society offered free adoptions on all animals. Saturday, 96 animals were adopted, a single-day adoption record for August.
Even with these adoptions, Charleston Animal Society is caring for 170 animals in its shelter, and has more than 300 others out in its Lowcountry-wide foster family network, waiting for their turn to be adopted.
"We are so proud of our community's commitment to keeping Charleston the Southeast's first No Kill Community," Elmore said, "This week's outpouring of support is just one of many examples we see every day.
About Charleston Animal Society
At 140 years old, Charleston Animal Society is the oldest animal organization in South Carolina and one of the oldest in the Nation. It is also South Carolina's leader in adoptions, spay/neuter procedures, free roaming cat services and research projects and has a nationally recognized Veterinary Science Initiative.

Blaze Burned by Strange Play, Fall 4-2
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - For the second time in as many nights, the Bakersfield Blaze bats were quiet for eight innings before rumbling in the 9th, but a goofy call on a roller up the first base line cost the club a chance at a rally, and the Blaze lost their third in a row to the visiting San Jose Giants, 4-2.
Jason Forjet (W, 4-3) got the start for the Giants in place of the promoted Austin Fleet, and was excellent against Bakersfield. In his third start this year against the Blaze, Forjet picked up where he left off, going five innings and allowing just a single run. On the year, the righty is now 2-0 against the Blaze, giving up just four runs over 17 innings.
The Blaze got their run in the 3rd, when Julio Morillo, Junior Arias, and Juan Silva each singled in succession, giving Bakersfield its first, and only, lead of the series.
Just a half inning later, the Giants took the lead for good. Mac Williamson began the frame with a solo homer to tie the contest, his team-leading 23rd. With two outs and the bases empty, the Giants struck quickly. Ryan Cavan and Jeff Arnold doubled to give San Jose the lead, and Elliott Blair followed with a single for another. Just three pitches later, Chris Lofton tripled to left, putting the Giants ahead, 4-1, more than enough against a slumping Blaze offense.
The club did, once again, show signs of life in the 9th. After Luis Rojas worked the 6th and 7th, and Chris Marlowe, the 8th, Stephen Harrold (S, 3) came on for the 9th. The Giants normal closer, Derek Law, was unavailable, and the Blaze almost squeezed back into the game.
David Vidal began the 9th with a double, and with two outs, Arias singled him home to cut the deficit to 4-2. Silva then worked a 10-pitch walk to put the tying run aboard before one of the stranger plays of the 2013 season took place. Juan Silverio, with a 1-and-1 count, hit a little dribbler up the first base line. Giants first baseman Ricky Oropesa appeared to reach into foul territory, slapping the ball back into fair ground with his glove. The home plate umpire Paul Clemons ruled the ball fair, and with only two players on the field treating the play like it was live, Silverio was thrown out at first to end the game.
The play marked the end to what was otherwise a fantastic day at the yard, as the team staff hosted the first Sermon on the Mound, a huge success that drew one of the largest Sunday crowds in recent Sam Lynn Ballpark history.
Such has been the luck of the Blaze of late, as the club fell for the eighth time in the last nine games, and drops to a season low 28 games under the 500 mark, with just eight games to play, including one more with the Giants.
That series finale -- though the homestand continues through Thursday -- is set for 7:15pm on Carl's Jr. Dollar Monday, the final dollar day of 2013. Gates open at 6:15pm - arrive early to secure the best seat in the General Admission section. As always, tickets and hot dogs are each just a buck, as Bakersfield's Shaun Ellis faces off with San Jose's Adalberto Mejia.

We are changing our docuware server to a windows based and I am trying to find out how the old server is connected. I know what software it uses to transfer document via java to the docuware server but I cannot find where the device is configured on the system. They tell me the IP address is 172.23.2.77 but I have been looking through the TCP/IP commands and I cannot find that address on the iSeries. I guess I have not done this for a while so I do not know how to change this or what to look for when changing a server. Can someone give me some tips on this?
It seems that all the information is in the compiled java code and in the code it uses a properties files that has the IP Address on it. So we have to recompile the code with a new value in the properties ID and then is should point to the new server. I guess you can do this with Java and not have to set up some location on the iseries what the TCP/IP address is. If I am wrong with this someone else can set me straight.

AIDS walk raises money, awareness
HUNTINGTON -- Testing positive for HIV and AIDS can be devastating in many ways -- not only affecting a person's health and outlook, but punching a hole right through their pocketbook.
That's where groups like the Tri-State AIDS Task Force come in, to help community members with HIV through support groups and by assisting them in paying their bills during trying years of their lives.
Raising awareness about their plight -- and funds to fill the task force's coffers -- were the reasons behind the 14th annual AIDS walk Sunday in Ritter Park. Despite the chilly, damp weather, supporters of the cause united at the park Sunday for a picnic and leisurely walk to show support for their friends, family members and neighbors.
Being diagnosed with AIDS and HIV -- "It's not a death sentence anymore," said Michael Lohri, support group leader for the task force. "Anymore, people are living longer and longer lives, but people are still testing positive, and we have to be there to support them."
There are about 350 people with HIV in Cabell County, about 120 of whom are served by the task force, said Lisa Cremeans, executive director of the task force, which targets those who have financial needs.
The organization receives no local, state or federal funding to offset client service expenditures, such as medication co-pays, rental security deposits, dental assistance and food and utility assistance.
Fortunately, all patients qualify for some program that helps pay for medication itself, which can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $3,000 per month, Cremeans said.
Other good news is that, with improvements in medication and care, people can live both longer and fuller lives, Lohri said.
"I've been positive for 15 years, and others have been positive since the mid-80s," he said. "They're called long-term non-progressors. People are living long, normal lives, as long as they take their medication, eat right, sleep right and don't do drugs."
The support group meets at 6 p.m. every Wednesday at 1038 6th Ave. For more information, call 304-522-4357.

County budget includes 2 percent raisePublished 8:59pm Sunday, October 6, 2013
County employees can look forward to a raise in their paychecks during the 2014 fiscal year.
The Elmore County Commission approved a $22 million budget in which county employees will receive a 2 percent cost of living pay increase.
"It's not only good that we were able to approve a balanced budget, but to afford our employees a cost of living increase," Commission Chairman Joe Faulk (D4) said.
The commission has given a 2 percent cost of living increase to county employees every year since 2001, Faulk said.
The budget was given its final OK Monday afternoon.
"The county has been rated as one of the most credit worthy counties in the state. This can't be accomplished without being meticulous with the budgeting process," Faulk added.
The general fund budget saw an increase of $1.2 million.
At least a $610,000 increase was budgeted in for the sheriff's department as well as a $119,000 increase for the jail.
"Much of the increase in the sheriff's and jail budget was to give our sheriff's deputies and corrections officers salaries which are more competitive with other agencies," Commissioner David Bowen (D3) said. "We want to ensure we keep the people who work in public safety."
In addition to pay increases within the sheriff's department, Faulk said advances in technology within the department also mean more money.
"Technology changes almost daily and so, too, has the cost," Faulk said. "We are mindful that our most important assets are our workers, but we always look for the most advanced technology to make their jobs easier and more productive."

Interest rates on car loans. Gallop polls. Calculating your pay check. Blueprints for the backyard shed. Grades received on geometry tests. While each of these things appear to be unrelated, they all have one thing in common. Numbers.
Much of our lives are measured, planned, and organized by numbers and mathematics.
Mathematics is one of the oldest forms of scientific inquiry, and with the growing demand on science, mathematical study and statistical skills will always be in demand.
Technology advances are breaking down the barriers of what is and is not a "math field." Math provides a foundation for much of modern society.
With an education based in mathematics, you have a variety of careers to choose from in the business, law, computer science, or academic industries. Some careers include:
Due to Lake Michigan College's small class sizes, you will receive individual attention, have opportunities to ask questions, and talk with your instructor.
In Basic Mathematics you will have one-on-one tutoring and support. This course is self-paced, but you will be monitored closely. "Especially for the student that has not visited math for a while, take advantage of the exceptional academic support that is available," says LMC mathematics instructor and advisor Mimi Elwell.

As of Sunday, November 18, 2012

JONESBORO When Joy Day was running to be Jonesboro's mayor last year, and asked resident Jerry Tumlin what he would like to see her do if elected, he had only one response.
"I said, 'Well, what I really miss is the Christmas parade, and I'd like to see you bring it back," said Tumlin.
Residents who have clamored to see Jonesboro's Christmas parade resurrected like a phoenix rising from its ashes after a four-year absence got their dreams fulfilled Saturday.
The parade was back and many city officials and residents were quick to call it a success. Close to 2,000 people lined Jonesboro's Main Street to see the parade make its return to the land of Scarlett, Rhett and Smokey the Bandit. Thirty vendors also were set up along the parade route for a festival, and long-time Jonesboro resident Louise Blalock — who will turn 100 next spring — was the grand marshall.
"Santa Claus" sat on the old Train Depot porch and let children tell him what they want for Christmas after the parade.
"The city just didn't seem right without it," said Tumlin. "They did the Streetscape project to make downtown look nicer, but it just wasn't the same [without the parade]."
The revived parade and a holiday festival was organized by Councilwoman Pat Sebo and Josh Durant, a clerk at Jonesboro City Hall, said Day, who is now mayor. The mayor said the parade couldn't have been pulled off without their leadership and the support of city employees and volunteers.
Now, that the parade is back, Day doesn't want to see it discontinued again.
Not on her watch, at least.
"As long as I'm mayor, we're going to continue having the parade," the mayor said. "So, it will at least be held each of the next three years of my current term."
For vendors and residents a like, the parade was a welcome opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the holidays without having to drive into "the big city" for an event.
"We get tired of having to drive to Atlanta just to find something to do," said Jonesboro resident Nancy Hutcheson. "It's nice to have this small-town atmosphere."
Forest Park resident Candice Gober said, "who likes to fight traffic to get up to Atlanta for a parade?"
Jonesboro resident Shawn Hicks let his daughter, Kennedy Hicks, 2, sit on his shoulders so she could get a better view of the parade. He said he was pleased with event and he thought the city did a good job organizing it. He added he felt it was good to have a holiday festival and parade in the city as a unifying event for residents.
"This could be something for the community that brings everyone together as a city," he said.
As the parade drew near, the crowds began to thicken as more and more people showed up to see their annual holiday tradition return. The bulk of the crowd was concentrated on Main Street, between Smith Street and College Street.
"Now the excitement is really starting build as we get closer and closer to the start of the parade," said Karen "Sweet Mama" Tino, co-owner of Sweet Mama's Fresh-squeezed Lemonade, one of the vendors at the parade.
As employees from Jonesboro-based Real 2 Reel Studios began to hype up the crowd at corner of Main Street and West Mill Street, McDonough youth Autumn Meredigh, 7, began to get a little antsy.
"I'm waiting for the parade so I can take pictures and I want to see Santa!" she said.
Sebo and Day said the parade has remained popular with Jonesboro residents, despite a four-year absence, because it represents it plays up the small town aspect of Jonesboro, which only has a few thousand residents.
"It's a hometown feel of Christmas, and the residents missed that whole atmosphere," said Sebo.
"There's nothing like small-town America," said Day.

Chamber CEO attends TTIA Tourism College
Total Resource Campaign – Meet the teams
Team Name: The Rock Stars
Team Chair: Jey Yancey, Offenhauser Insurance
Team Members:
Rob Hedges, Republic Services
Sara Calhoun, Sandlin Motors, Inc.
Roxie Vickers, Holiday Inn Express & LaQuinta Inn
Jey Yancey is an independent insurance agent for Offenhauser Insurance. He has been a resident of Mount Pleasant since 2010. He previously worked as a claims representative for The Republic Group of Dallas. Yancey earned a finance degree from the University of Mississippi. He has served the Mount Pleasant-Titus County Chamber as a board member, ambassador, a member of the marketing committee and subcommittee chair. He is also a member of the Mount Pleasant Rotary Club. He and his wife, Cassie Redfearn Yancey, met at Ole Miss in 2006.
Why do you serve in the Mount Pleasant Chamber?
I feel that the chamber provides me with more than enough resources to have a successful business, so I feel that I must give back and help grow the chamber, which will, in turn, help grow my business. Plus, there are so many great people involved in the chamber that I want to meet, get to know and, hopefully, be able to help them with their business as well as have them help me with mine.
What was your goal as a TRC chair?
My goal was for my team to renew all of our prior year commitments and then double what my team did last year.
How will your team encourage the business community to support the campaign?
I feel that I have recruited a great new team of go-getters that I feel know what it is like to be sitting in the place of the businesses they are calling on and will know how to find things that will fit that particular company's needs, while keeping in mind the limited resources of each of their prospects.
How vital is this campaign to the continued growth and strength of the Mount Pleasant Chamber and why?
I believe that this campaign is the greatest thing we have done as a chamber since I have been a member. It provides all of the members with the opportunity to get their names out there without breaking the bank, so to speak. There is something for everyone in this campaign, which I believe will help it grow. Also, with each business knowing what they are going to spend with the chamber at the beginning of the year, it will make it easier for them to budget their advertising expenses. It also makes them aware of all of the resources available at the chamber.
Convention brings gospel singers from all over southeast
Southern Gospel singing conventions have a long history in the south and they are alive and well in the 21st century. The Mount Pleasant-Titus County Chamber & Visitors Council had the privilege of bringing the Texas State Gospel Singing Convention to Mount Pleasant recently, which drew about 125 singers from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
The convention was held April 18-19 at the Mount Pleasant Civic Center.
Susan Bollman, president of the Texas state Gospel Singing Association, says the group was so overwhelmed by the support from the Chamber and the Mount Pleasant Civic Center that the group voted to bring the state convention back to Mount Pleasant next year. It will be held at the Civic Center April 17-18, 2015.
The state convention had been held in Stephenville every year until 2011 when it was moved to Mount Vernon in 2011. This year, because the event fell on Easter weekend, organizers had to look for a new venue that had room to host the event.
"We are so appreciative of the support we received," Bollamn said. "We've had a great experience everywhere we've been, but this time we had the support of the Chamber of Commerce and the Civic Center helping us. It turned out fantastic."
The Chamber also brought the National Gospel Singing Convention to Mount Pleasant in November 2013. It was held at South Jefferson Baptist Church. The national convention moves throughout the southeast every year. It has only been held in Texas six or seven times, Bollman said.
Chamber CEO Faustine Curry said the state convention was successful due to the great partnership between the Chamber and the City of Mount Pleasant.
"It is always great to have people from out of town visiting Mount Pleasant and I couldn't have been happier with the turnout on an Easter weekend," Curry said. "We just love being able to show off our city and show them our Everything Texas hospitality."
Bollman said the conventions date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
"The quartets like the Statesmen, The Blackwoods, and the Stamps all started in this type of music," she said. "It's like a church service, but you have a minister of music directing the congregation and then people in the congregation will get up and direct the singing also."
Bollman said the state convention has five songbook publishers that offer new books every year in the old fashioned shape notes style, Bollman said.
"It's easy to read the shape notes and if you can read the round notes you can still sing the shape notes," Bollman said. "Anyone can walk in and pick up a songbook and either listen or sing along with us," she said.
The organization also awards scholarships for youth and young adults ages seven to 25 who participate in the singing convention to attend the two-week long summer session at its Texas Southern Gospel School of Music.
Bollman said the conventions are free, non-denominational events and the music draws people from all over.
"The music is toe-tapping and it's fun to sing. The conventions are enjoyable and there's a message," she said. "You become part of a family. Once it gets in your blood, it's hard to get out."

Third Annual Robert Arellano Dawg Fest Rally brings thousands to Mount Pleasant
The legacy of Robert Arellano continues this weekend as the Dawg Fest Rally revs into gear.
The motorcycle rally and family-friendly festival is set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 11-13, at Camp Langston in Mount Pleasant. The proceeds will benefit the Robert Arellano Foundation scholarship fund and the Texas Lion's Club camps for children with special needs.
The festival is held in memory of Robert Arellano, a motorcycle enthusiast who served in law enforcement as a Titus County Sheriff's Department deputy and an investigator for the Titus County Attorney's office. Nicknamed "DAWG," Arellano was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2010.
"Robert was a huge advocate for children, working many child cases as an investigator for the County," said Jeff Martin, sergeant at arms of the Robert Arellano Foundation. "We were all friends and a lot of us rode together. We all came together to give back in honor of him because he was such an amazing man."
Martin said the foundation, which was founded in 2013, provides educational opportunities for students from low to moderate income families in Titus and surrounding counties, including a criminal justice scholarship for students who aspire to become peace officers and serve in the state of Texas. Last year, the foundation awarded two $1,000 scholarships through Northeast Texas Community College.
"We started the scholarship program in honor of him because of the pride and dedication that he had for law enforcement," Martin said.
The festival's main event is the motorcycle rally, with registration beginning Friday at 2:30 p.m. The bikes start their engines and leave Camp Langston, located at off Exit 165 at Interstate 30 and County Road 3227, at 10 a.m. Saturday.
On Friday night, the gates open to the public at 6 p.m. The gate fee is $5 per person unless you are pre-registered for the events. Opening ceremonies begin at 6:30 p.m. A D.J. and karaoke contest starts the entertainment at 7 p.m.
Other Saturday activities include a car, truck and bike show, which is new this year.
"We're allowing folks to bring in their nice cars and trucks, so that's going to bring even more people in for the event," Martin said.
There will also be vendors and food, games for children and adults, raffles, an auction and the Miss Dawg Fest "pageant."
"That's actually guys dressed up in drag really. We'll have some donation cans set out and whoever collects the most funds, wins Miss Dawg Fest," Martin explained.
Live music on Saturday night will feature Eli's Redemption, a rock band from Tyler, and the Kolton Moore Band, a Texas Country band from Fort Worth.
On Sunday, church services will held on the rally site by the Northeast Texas Biker Church in Mount Pleasant with Pastor Dominic Crescimanno. Services begin at 9:45 a.m.
In 2013, the rally included 520 bikes and drew 1,800 to 2,000 people.
"This event is doubling each year. It's really an amazing, family-friendly event," Martin said.
Mount Pleasant-Titus County Chamber of Commerce CEO Faustine Curry said as a sponsor of the Dawg Fest, the Chamber is excited the rally and festival is coming back to Mount Pleasant again this year.
"Motorcycle rallies and rides provide a benefit to the economy when they eat in our restaurants, stay in our hotels and stop at our gas stations. And, usually, when motorcycle riders enjoy the trails, they come back year after year," Curry said. "We hope this is a festival that keeps growing and bringing people to Mount Pleasant."
Martin said there is a huge sense of pride in hosting the event to raise funds for a cause that honors Arellano's name and the things that he was passionate about.

Some Texas school parents are fed up with the state's focus on high-stakes testing.
Edy Chamness, an Austin parent of a fourth grade student, told a State Board of Education committee Wednesday that she was "so disgusted" that she formed a Texas chapter for the United Opt Out Movement, which aims to end punitive testing of children.
Her son had to endure 40 hours of test-taking practice and another 16 hours of actual testing.
"These tests are a horrible waste of taxpayer money, instruction time and teacher energy that could otherwise be used to educate our children and involve them in meaningful and enriching learning," Chamness, a former school teacher, told the board's instruction committee.
Chamness said school teachers tell her they are "actively discouraged from teaching any material that is not on the test."
She lamented that her child "will be in college before the state of Texas fixes this stinking mess of a system that gives millions of dollars to (testing company) Pearson, while simultaneously laying off our teachers and overcrowding classrooms."
Board member George Clayton, R-Dallas complained that many elective classes, such as fine arts, and "some of our language classes go away in deference to remediation for the tests. That needs to stop."

Once a market leader in the scooter segment, Piaggio, the maker of the iconic Vespa, is reentering the Indian market with Vespa 125LX, its first gearless scooter to hit the road next week.
SPECIAL: Scooters make a comeback
The company has already set up a factory in Baramati, Maharastra, with a production capacity of 150,000 units per annum. The reentry of Piaggio has just affirmed the fact that scooters are here to stay. This will stir fresh competition in the scooter segment, which is now dominated by Honda Motorcycles and Scooter India (HMSI).
"There is huge excitement among customers. We have already started receiving queries and expect a good response from customers. We feel the scooter market will have a healthy growth," a senior executive from Piaggio Vehicles India said without divulging any detail about the pricing. According to sources, the price is expected to be around Rs 48,000.
The firm will start delivering scooters in May. According to the executive, the Vespa LX125 is equipped with a 125cc four-stroke engine with a three valve head, peak power of 10 bhp and a peak torque of 10.6 Nm making it the most powerful among its competitors. The company had already unveiled the scooter in the recent Auto Expo here.
Once a symbol of the Indian middle class, many people thought that the era of scooters was over with Vespa closing down and Bajaj Auto deciding to shun its iconic 'Hamara Bajaj' scooters to shift focus on motorcycles. However, companies like Honda, TVS and the Hero Group revived scooters in India which are making a comeback in swanky new looks.
At present, the market is dominated by HMSI, TVS and Hero group. According to latest figures released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturer, HMSI sold a total of 19,96,320 units of two-wheelers in FY12, out of which scooter sales were at 1,224,599 units, clocking growth of 38 per cent driven by the huge demand for models like Activa, Aviator and Dio. And with the rising popularity and double-digit sales growth, the scooter market is getting more competitive. New The new Vespa 125LX during the 2012 Auto Expo in New Delhi. players like Mahindra and Yamaha are set to enter the market.
"The scooter market in India is huge. We want a huge presence in this segment and we will be launching a scooter in next two years-by end of 2012 or early 2013," Hiroyuki Suzuki, CEO and managing director (India) Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd, said last year.

While Mom and I were walking out of the restaurant Sunday afternoon, arm in arm, our bellies full with sauer braten, bread dumplings and chicken schnitzel, she spotted a lilac bush in someone's yard, and we talked about the corsages Grandma used to make with them on Mother's Day each year.
Grandma used to say she had seasonal depression, meaning every winter she'd want to tuck away in the house, lethargic, doing little but cooking and baking, especially at Christmas—I think I get this from her—but come spring, she'd be the happy lady mowing her front lawn, planting geraniums along the front and big tomato bushes in back, hanging laundry to dry on the clothesline that ran from the back brick to the detached garage.
These mornings, when I wake up and hear pounding rain on the windows and see the grass deep, deep green, I think of how happy this would've made her, how happy it makes me. When I come home, the world bathed in sunlight, with fresh flowers popping up in yards and along open fields, there's so much I want to do: take Bailey out, go for a quick run, stroll to the grocery store that's a mile away instead of getting in the car to drive. Some nights, I don't even care if I eat dinner, except for something quick I grab on my way somewhere. Like the other night, after I'd thrown in laundry, the windows open around me, and gone outside for a while, letting Bailey pull me wherever he wanted, I came back in, and instead of making dinner, I put together this quick parfait, made of Greek yogurt, chopped fruit, walnuts and honey.
I had the yogurt thanks to Stoneyfield Farm, which gave me the opportunity to taste their Greek yogurt for free, sending a package of coupons in the mail, along with a bright yellow reusable grocery bag.
Do you know Oikos Greek yogurt? Created by straining whey from the liquid, it is organic and fat free, with double the protein of regular yogurt, fewer carbohydrates and just 90 calories per 5.3-ounce serving. It's also a creamier, thicker, richer version that holds up well to heat, making it ideal for cooking and baking. You'll find it in the same grocery sections as regular yogurt, though it's not carried at all stores—here in Chicago, I know it's available at my Whole Foods and at Treasure Island, but not at Dominick's [update: yes it is!] or Jewel.
And really, its slight tartness worked wonderfully in my yogurt parfait, eaten with a pretty silver spoon before I headed to the treadmill—because, for all its blessings, spring still makes my eyes itch and my nose get stuffed up—and just as well in the dessert I made later that night, before going to bed, content.
Yogurt Parfait
6 ounces Greek yogurt (I used vanilla)
Sliced fruit (I used strawberries)
Chopped walnuts
Put the yogurt in a bowl and top with fruit and nuts. Drizzle honey on top. Enjoy!

Oh this reminds me of a trip to Santorini I took about a year and a half ago. We had lots of great food, of course, but perhaps the most scrumptious thing I ate was simple plain yogurt drizzled with honey, topped with walnuts. Its an amazing combination and wen you have just 3 high-quality ingredients…simply divine. Thanks for the reminder!
Yum! I haven't ever had Greek yogurt before, but this definitely makes me want to give it a try!
I love your writing!
I got the same offer, just got my stuff in the mail. The bag is so huge and nice! I can't wait to try out the yogurt.
I love 0% Greek Yoghurt but the only brand we get here is Total (never mind it's still delicious). It's creamy and tart but good for you – yay!
Yum. I just love fruit & yogurt parfaits, but now I want to try them with Greek yogurt. Sounds delicious! Aren't moms the best, by the way?
So how was the Stoneyfield yoghurt? I'm always skeptical of any yoghurt that's fat free- I figure, the real stuff is still fairly healthy, far more satisfying, and is worth the extra fat, but maybe they make a good one???
I think we've got a lot in common as far as the seasonal depression goes- winter dark and cold is for baking away in the kitchen, while spring is for slow walks and gardening.
Thanks a lot for sharing, you're always a joy to read.
Is Greek yogurt new? Because I see it talked about ALL the time now. It's in like, every health magazine of any sort, and I see it on TV shows and stuff. I want to try it!
Becky – Santorini! I'm jealous!
Thanks, Hannah! And can't wait to see how you like the Oikos!
Gemma – exactly!
Sue – She's unlike anyone else I know, the perfect mom for me!
Siri – I thought it was delicious and, genuinely, wouldn't have even guessed it was so healthy! (BTW glad to know I'm not alone on loving spring.)
E.P. & Alicia – You absolutely should try it!

Thank you my dear friends,
for stopping by,
please stop by at any time,
when you feel lonely,
need friend's shoulder to cray,
I'll be there
as you cry
to dry tears from your eyes.
It's not easy to be loved,
then let alone,
all alone and,
in the dark,
to live life full of memories,
day and night,
accept the truth,
that were not enough,
never enough.
In a moment our life,
have changed
one we know how to lived,
and were
just left behind,
and no one near to hear us crying
no one here to teach us how to survived.
No one but you,
my dear friend ,
who is reading this very line,
at this very moment.
My door is always open for you,
no need to knock,
as I know,
your's going to be,
when I stop by......
Deep in your heart,
and mind,
our souls are meant to be,
as they are,
one in this unity of infinity.
It's not easy to be loved,
then let alone,
in the dark of our soul.
in a moment everything has changed
the world we loved to be in,
just crumbled in front of our face,
all we ever wanted is,
to laugh and give it all ,
to one we cherished the most.
Dear friend I thank for stopping by,
I promise I will do the same,
to see how you are,,,,,,,

Taste Test: Eggnog
Homemade eggnog can be a delicious thing, enriched with fresh eggs and cream, a careful grating of nutmeg, and just the right amount of sugar. (Plus a dunked cookie or two.) But mixing it up yourself can seem a little daunting (and holiday entertaining already has you frazzled). So you're just going to pick up a carton at the grocery store. But which brand should you buy? We recently conducted a blind taste test to figure out which is the best nationally-available brand of premade eggnog. More

We're keeping Prince of Wales afloat
Posted: June 30, 2012|
A raft of foreign trips for the Prince of Wales and his family saw their cost to the taxpayer rise by more than ten per cent in the last financial year as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge began married life.
Charles's accounts, released yesterday, show his income from grants-in-aid and Government departments rose from £1,962,000 to £2,194,000, an increase of £232,000 during 2011/12. The figures cover the Duchess of Cambridge's first full year as a royal but her cost to the taxpayer and to the Prince – who funds much of her public work and official clothes – was described as "fairly marginal" compared to the overall total by a royal aide.
Charles, through his private income from the Duchy of Cornwall, which covers larges swathes of the West outside the county, pays for much of the public work of William, Harry, and Camilla, with taxpayers' footing the bill for official travel, communications and the upkeep of royal residences
Cash generated by the Duchy – the estate, which includes Highgrove in Gloucestershire, given to the heir to the throne to provide.
an income – went up by 3 per cent to £18.3 million.
But spending on official travel by air and rail came to £1,318,000 – up £238,000, or 22 per cent, from the previous financial year.
Asked about the increase.
Paddy Harverson, the prince's communications secretary, said: "Well, it's important to say this is the Government spending the Government's money rather than us, because they determine where their royal highnesses go on overseas official travel.
"It's gone up basically because there have been more members of the royal family travelling further afield to more countries then in the previous year."
During the last financial year Charles and Camilla toured Norway, Sweden and Denmark in March, and last autumn visited South Africa and Tanzania, while Charles visited Kuwait and Qatar.
William and Kate embarked on their first tour as a married couple last summer, visiting Canada, while Harry carried out a Diamond Jubilee tour to the Caribbean in March.
Graham Smith, chief executive of the campaigning group Republic, called for the Government to bring royal spending under proper control.
He said: "At a time when the country is facing sweeping cuts to public spending, Charles Windsor willfully helps himself to whatever travel funds he wants or feel he needs.
"This 'something-for-nothing' culture in the Royal Household must end. Where the Government requests a royal makes an official trip, the costs must be met directly by the relevant department.
"All other royal travel should be paid for by the Royal Family."

There's no other way to say this, so we're just going to go for it: the whole world can see the corner of Rumer Willis' hoo-ha in this dress!
We can't imagine this Hollywood royal left the house without being aware of that very obvious fact. The draft alone would have given the slip-up away! And to add insult to injury (or super tacky to tacky), the singer-turned-DJ is flashing a tiny sliver of bright pink panty. Is this a case of having no fashion back-up plan?
The bummer of it all is that the little black, cropped top combo would be sexy and fun if only those slits weren't so massive! We can totally get behind a little upper leg reveal, and even a tiny flash of fanny. Just a tad more fabric would solve it all, but we draw the line at the bikini line.
Though, Rumer does get credit for boldly going where we're pretty sure no other celeb has gone before. Unfortunately, it's the opposite of brownie points.

Grace Dinsmoor of Modesto: Recipe for Pulpo a la Gallega
This is part three of Chrissy Wilmes' Chef's Choice profile of Grace Dinsmoor of Modesto. Part one can be found here. Part two, a Q&A with Dinsmoor, is published here.
Chrissy Wilmes Pulpo a al Gallega
Finally, octopus is "in" at U.S. restaurants. This tasty seafarer has long been popular in Mediterranean cooking -- perhaps for as long as people have been living on the Mediterranean and cooking.
You may have noticed that fresh octopus has been available recently at Whole Foods Market. In part, that's because customers have been buying it. Consider taking the hint.
The following recipe highlights octopus' substantial but not chewy texture and its excellent ability as a vehicle for simple but distinct flavors.
Chrissy Wilmes Dinsmoor grills octopus and potatoes for a Pulpo tapa
Pulpo a la Gallega
2 pounds fresh small octopus
2 large baking potatoes
Olive oil
Boil whole octopus for 45 minutes, drain.
Slice the tentacles at an angle into bite-size pieces, season with paprika and salt and let rest for five minutes.
Peel and slice the potatoes, blanch in salted water, then crisp on a grill or under broiler.
Finish octopus pieces by grilling or broiling for 40 to 60 seconds, until paprika starts to blacken.
Arrange octopus over sliced potatoes and garnish with lemon slices.
Serve hot or warm.

alternatives to $$$$ maple syrup
Have you seen the price of maple syrup lately? Not the fake stuff, but the real thing. We love it on our pancakes but just can't justify the price anymore. I've been foregoing it all fall but found a recipe for this cider sauce that I'd like to share.
Combine 4 tbsp sugar w/ 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Slowly whisk in 1 1/2 c cider. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat til thick. (You can vary the sugar amount if you want more or less, but 4 tbsp's been pretty good for us.)
What do you put on yours?
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Ratings and Reviewsfor the Super Concord Fairway Wood
Great Clubs May 31, 2013
I purchased the 11 and 13 woods to replace my 5 and 6 irons. I know a lot of golfer raive about their hybrids but I have never been able to hit them. However, these fairway woods are easy to hit high and lands soft. There is very little roll out - when you land it on the green in regulation.
Review by Geno
Super Concord #9 December 2, 2012
I've been playing golf off and on for more than 50 years. Over time I switched to Adams Tight Lie fairway woods and like them very much. As my iron play became more erratic I bought a Super Concord #9 (27 degrees), which was not available from Adams. It gradually became my "go to" club for a variety of distances. Performance level is equal to my Adams fairway woods and the consistency with which I have been able to hit it has brought back a level of confidence that I thought might be gone for ever. It's a great club and I'm in the process of adding the 11, 13, and 15. I've never been able to spin the ball and stop it on demand. This club hits a high shot and stops. It does not roll out. 5 Stars - Aureus, Williamsburg, VA

Something about this pic hit me..
So much for personal "freedom" here. This and so many other obstructions to freedom in the land of "freedom". So many people mind other peoples business's. There should have been a "Thou shall mind your own business" in you know where.
Freedom in America is often a joke.
What was the context of the picture, Robert?
I found it a while ago in a photography forum topic entitled "A picture is worth a 1000 words". Just such a powerful yet peaceful (and almost innocent) platform for protest.
The context would add more substance to the picture, but it's still very obvious what the point is.
@Angela: I doubt that these are strictly first world problems. In fact, these are likely problems that people face in most societies. It's ok if you don't care about these problems; however, it is unhelpful to trivialize them by saying that these people live in a developed country and therefore the problems that are part of that society are blessings when compared with problems in developing countries.
It appeals to the emotions. In order to do that, it has to use topical people with topical words. In our case, it is effective.
I like this photograph. It reminds me of my choice not to take my life as a girl and that makes me grateful. It makes me realize that I have been lucky to avoid a lot of the pain that my lgbtq peers have experienced and I feel lucky.
The closet is better than death. Being out is better than being closeted. But the best thing would be to live with dignity.
Honestly I just cant feel sorry for them.
How belittling. The sign holders are referring to experiences with death threats, electric shock torture, loss of family, beatings, suicide or murder, among other things. These are all-too-common experiences for many gays even in the first-world countries of the 21st century. You may not sympathize, but for the empathic and for the millions who must live with it daily, it is oppression and it is less than freedom.
disappointment? disappointment. really, Angela?
It's a good thing for YOU that you haven't got the life experience to empathize with feeling terrorized, loosing a spouse/lover, experiencing electric shock/medical torture, and social ostracism. Or could you empathize and imagine those things happening to you--how much more painful those things would be than a simple disappointment? Could you do imagine that happening and how it would devastate you...if doing so didn't also mean you were being asked to humanize lgbtq people?

Notes & Reviews:
Maria Callas's talent as one of the world's greatest singing actresses remains unchallenged to this day and she has acquired legendary status as one of the most iconic figures in the world of classical music. There are very few films of Callas on stage, so it is through the medium of her audio recordings that her art lives on. She recorded exclusively for EMI for most of her career, and these six CDs present a fully representative sampling of her recorded legacy on EMI.

Ministry Reflection Groups are a valued dimension of the congregational placement. They are comprised of four to six lay persons. They meet six times during the student's academic year. The Ministry Reflection Group's purpose is two-fold:
The Ministry Reflection Group becomes an opportunity for the student to learn how to form pastoral relationship and to hear the life stories, faith issues, ministry concerns, rituals, structures and symbols that shape the lives of group members. In a sense, it is a microcosm of a congregation where the minister is focused on the faith needs of the members. Therefore, the student needs to learn the skills of listening and faith-interpreting. On the other hand, it is an opportunity for lay persons to exercise their responsibility for the church's ministry by offering critical feedback to the student's ministry in the congregation. Group members can offer growth-oriented feedback on the student's ministry.
For more information about the role and responsibilities of Ministry Reflection Groups, see the Guidelines for Ministry Reflection Groups (PDF, 212 KB).

So far so good
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1822096 on May 18, 2009
I used some of this flour to dredge meat in a stew and the flavour turned out wonderful. It didn't thicken the stew as much as regular flour though. I also made a pie crust using my standard recipe. The flavour was very good. The raw crust was a bit challenging to work with and finally was more crumbly than flaky. I'm sure with some recipe adjustment and practice this will make a nice crust. Definetly worth more experimentation.

Not bad in replacement of wheat flour. Goods still turn out a bit chewy, but I've had worse.

Haifa Wehbe hits the red carpet with Eva Longoria
All in the name of a good cause, hot celeb Haifa Wehbe hit up The Global Gift Gala in Dubai and snapped a shot next to none other than Hollywood star Eva Longoria. The divorced diva says she's happy being single and has some high criteria for a future spouse, but we believe that deep down, she's desperate to be a housewife!
Could that be why she so satisfactorily posed next to the star of the hit TV show "Desperate Housewives", or was it more to make her look as glamorous as her Western celeb counterpart?
There, of course, could be the small chance it was all in an effort to truly promote charity for Dubai's less than fortunate crowd. The event attended by the talented two was after all an event to help raise awareness for those in need around the region.
Should we give Haifa the charitable benefit of the doubt? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below!
