Recipe by TartResponse
"I read a lot of recipes before making my first turkey, and there were just too many to choose from, so I decided to wing it. Nobody was more shocked than I was to see how gorgeous, moist and flavorful it turned out, considering how very few ingredients and work was involved. Yes, the name is a double-entendre (there was a theme to my first Thanksgiving dinner!) I used a semi-sweet red wine, but you can go with whatever vintage you prefer if you want something more bitter. The drippings from the pan are practically a gravy on their own."

3 cups water
1/2 cup margarine
2 (6 ounce) packages stuffing mix for turkey
1 (18 pound) whole turkey, thawed if frozen
2 cups red wine
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
I cooked turkey for the first time using this recipe and it was just so delicious. Very simple, easy and amazing. I recommend this for everyone.

Sister asks priests to help fight trafficking
ITALY'S leading voice against human trafficking has called on priests to talk to men about sexual relationships in an attempt to tackle demand for trafficked women.
Sister Eugenia Bonetti, who established a network of 250 Sisters to help victims of trafficking, said priests had a "great responsibility".
During a visit to London she said: "They have to start with young people, to give the right guidance about the use of their bodies, to help them understand what it means to respect a human being.
"Relationships are not about getting what you want, or using the other person. It's about being able to relate, to communicate.
"Women need to be appreciated for what they are, not only for the beauty of their body but the beauty of their inner self, their capacity to love."
Sister Eugenia added: "If attention is not paid to the demand side, it does not matter what we are doing: the demand in human beings will continue."
She was speaking at a seminar on human trafficking in south London organised by the migration office of the bishops' conference.
The seminar, attended by priests, religious and antitrafficking campaigners, comes ahead of a major trafficking conference at the Vatican next spring.
Other speakers included Detective Inspector Kevin Hyland, the Catholic head of Scotland Yard's Trafficking and Prostitution Unit, Auxiliary Bishop Patrick Lynch of Southwark, chairman of the bishops' migration office, and Baroness Scotland of Asthal.
Bishop Lynch said that priests talking to men about prostitution should draw on Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body. "That is the framework in which we can have these conversations," he said.
He said that homilies might be "one way" of addressing the issue, if the occasion was appropriate.

Sister Eugenia, a Consolata Missionary Sister, established a Counter-Trafficking Office in Rome in 2000 which coordinates the ministry of 250 women religious who help trafficking victims.
In 2007 she organised a global conference in Rome which led to the creation of the International Network of Religious Against Trafficking in Persons.
In her address she pointed out that trafficking generated an estimated £17.7bn a year and is the third most profitable illegal activity behind the sale of arms and drugs.
She spoke about how trafficked women from Nigeria – about half of all trafficked women in Italy – were forced to undergo "voodoo rituals" that aimed to ensure they paid back their debt.
"Among African victims," she said, "cases of mental illness are frequent because they are obsessed by the 'voodoo' used against them."
Detective Inspector Kevin Hyland emphasised how important parishes and priests could be for trafficked victims needing help. "Priests are trusted and congregations can be points of contact," he said.
He has also praised the work of two organisations run by women religious that help trafficking victims build their lives again. They are the Medaille Trust, which provides three safe houses for trafficked men and women, and Women@theWell, a drop-in centre for prostitutes but also women who are homeless or struggling with drugs or alcohol.
THE MARTYRDOM of St Edmund Campion should remind Catholics that their faith must have a public dimension, the apostolic nuncio has said.
Celebrating a Campion Day Mass at Stonyhurst College last week, Archbishop Antonio Mennini said that he felt "at home" at the school, having been educated at a Catholic Jesuit school.
He quoted Fr Clement Tigar, a Jesuit priest who was involved in the canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, who wrote of St Edmund Campion: "In June fifteen-eighty (1580), when Campion landed on
Nuncio: martyr teaches that faith is not private BY ED WEST
these shores, in disguise, he brought with him the spirit of chivalry in defence of the ancient Faith. By his holiness of life, his unquenchable good humour, his charm of manner, his burning eloquence, he put new heart, new courage, new enthusiasm, into the persecuted, dejected Catholics of England."
The saint, was the son of a London bookseller who in 1571, as a deacon in Elizabeth's church, rejoined the Catholic Church at the English College, Douai.
On returning to England he wrote pamphlets critical of the Privy Council and after travelling around the country in disguise, until his arrest in Berkshire and imprisonment in the Tower of London.
"At his trial, and in spite of an extremely effective defence, he was condemned to death. His loyalty to the Queen was clear throughout. His only offence was his religion. On this day in 1581 along with Saints Alexander Bryant and Ralph Sherwin, Edmund Campion was hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn in London.
"Perhaps the lesson which his life offers us is that our private faith cannot fail, rightly understood, to have its effect in our public lives.
"Nowadays, when we face an aggressive secularistic and relativistic society, St Edmund reminds us that our relationship with the Lord should shape and enlighten our words and actions, not only in chapel but in the marketplace too. "The challenge we all face is to live our faith in the concrete circumstances of our personal, social and business lives. To act morally and with integrity.
"Unlike St Edmund Campion, we will probably not be called to the shedding of our blood, nonetheless, our words and actions are important for our families, friends and those persons whom we encounter each day.
"As we know this is at times difficult. It will call for us to find a spirit of generosity and unselfishness, not just to make this world a better place, but to prepare ourselves for that fullness of love for which we are made, which we call 'heaven' or 'the vision of God.'"
The nuncio, who was appointed last December, echoed what Pope Benedict XVI said when he addressed British society at Westminster Hall last year, when he said that "fundamental questions at stake in Thomas More's trial continue to present themselves in everchanging terms as new social conditions emerge. Each generation, as it seeks to advance the common good, must ask anew: what are the requirements that governments may reasonably impose upon citizens, and how far do they extend?"
The nuncio also called on the pupils to encourage and help others in their vocations, and said that good priests came from good families:
"Good families, in turn, are supported and sustained by the example and lives of good Religious and Priests. Perhaps too, even at this moment, some of you may, like St Edmund Campion, be wondering if God is calling you to the priesthood or religious life. If this call is not for you, it may possibly be made to your children. When and if that time comes, please do encourage them in their turn to be generous." Catholic Life: Page 13

Report: Ireland's handling of abuse has improved Boy saves lives of four people in need of organs
AUDITS of six Irish Catholic dioceses have showed "a marked improvement" in how the Church is handling clerical abuse allegations.
The reviews, carried out by the independent National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church, also show that in the past too much emphasis was put on the rights of accused priests and protecting the reputation of the Church. Each review found evidence that insufficient attention was paid to the suffering of victims and the long-term consequences of abuse.
Ian Elliott, chief executive of the safeguarding children board, said the audits showed that "reporting allegations to the statutory authorities [now] occurs promptly and comprehensively." He said that "represents a major development, as past practice did not always reflect this commitment".
He also said that "the need to create and maintain a safe environment for children in the Church is comprehensively accepted and implemented".
"There is greater awareness and much greater commitment to safeguarding children than was once the case. Individuals that are seen as being a risk to children are reported quickly to the authorities and steps are taken to eliminate their access to children," he said. The audits recommend that the practice of a priest acting as the designated person to whom abuse allegations are made be discontinued.
"It would be our view that it is significantly more difficult for a member of the clergy to perform all of the tasks that are involved in the successful discharge of their responsibilities," it said.
John O'Donnell, an abuse victim, dismissed the report as "an exercise in going through Church paperwork".
"The real story of what happened in Raphoe to hundreds and hundreds of victims will, in my opinion, only come out when there is a full garda [police] investigation or judicial inquiry," he said.
Retired detective Martin Ridge, who investigated a prominent clerical abuse case, said: "This audit will do nothing for the victims, as far as I can see."
Of the 85 priests accused of abuse from 1975 to 2010 only eight have been convicted.
Overall the six audits, which cover the dioceses of Ardagh, Raphoe, Derry, Dromore, Tuam and Kilmore, confirm the findings of previous judicial reports in Ireland, which said priests that accused of abuse were not robustly challenged or adequately managed and problems were often "handled" by moving the accused to positions elsewhere.
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD Catholic schoolboy who died suddenly has saved the lives of four people, including two adults, after his parents agreed to donate his organs.
Luca Giovannini was from Stockport, Greater Manchester, and attended St Hugh's Roman Catholic primary school in Timperley.
He died suddenly on November 15, just 24 hours after complaining that he felt sick.
Doctors suspect that the cause of death was a swelling of the brain from a viral infection.
Luca's organs have been donated to a 35-year-old mother, a 34-year-old man, a two-year-old boy and a twoyear-old girl who now should be at home in time for Christmas.
Luca had complained that he felt ill at 4am on November 14.
He was admitted to Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and by 7am the following day had died.
Luca's father Renzo Giovannini said: "When the medics were trying to save Luca's life, I asked a doctor what his chances were of surviving, and he said we were looking at the worstcase scenario.
"It's a scenario which no parent wants to be faced with, but it was at that stage that we discussed organ donation.
"We mentioned it to the ward matron that we would like him considered for donation because we wanted something positive to come out of this.
"We send Luca's organs with love to all these people, especially to the little girl who they told us was just days away from dying."
Luca's funeral took place on November 30 at St Hugh of Lincoln church in Timperley.
His parents, who have a two-year-old son named Leo, published a notice of the funeral in the Manchester Evening News which said: "On November 15 2011, our precious little angel was taken suddenly but peacefully in hospital.
"Luca, aged five years, was very much loved and is sadly missed. Luca, you will be forever in our hearts. Love always Mummy, Daddy and Leo xxxxx."
Luca's parents requested that no one wore black to the funeral.
Janet Ayling Luca's teacher at St Hugh's Roman Catholic primary school said: "Somehow Luca's love of life and his spirit will live on in all of us. He will leave a legacy for all of us to follow – his beautiful smile, his gentle nature and his whole happy being will never be forgotten."
NEWSBULLETIN Over 50 Catholic schools have become academies FOUR more Catholic schools have converted to academy status, bringing the total number of open Catholic academies to 51.
The newly converted academies are Sacred Heart in Newcastle upon Tyne St Catherine's in Bexley, St John's Catholic School and Sixth Form Academy in Durham, and St Thomas More Academy in North Tyneside.
Over 40 more Catholic schools have registered an interest in converting after the passing of the Academies Act. Since the Coalition came to power some 1,200 schools have converted, joining 200 that converted under Labour.
Becoming an academy means schools are no longer under the rule of the local authority.
Morning-after pill offered by phone THE BRITISH Pregnancy Advisory Service has launched a scheme to enable to distribution of the morning-after pill over the telephone for free.
The BPAS campaign, which encourages girls to stock-up on the "emergency contraceptive" before the Christmas party season, will run a poster with the word "Sex" spelt out in Christmas lights and the slogan "Getting turned on this Christmas?"
Girls will have to register their details on a website and will then receive a 15-minute phone call from a nurse to ascertain the applicant's suitability and age.
A BPAS spokesman has admitted that girls might not be honest about their age which might mean girls under 16 obtaining the abortifacient without parental knowledge. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children have called upon the Government to end its association with BPAS.
Share parishes, Catholics urged BISHOP Seamus Cunningham of Hexham and Newcastle has urged Catholic parishes which are struggling financially to use Anglican and Methodist churches if they cannot afford to run their own church building. He made the comment in an article in the diocesan newspaper Northern Cross, saying that several churches had to be closed for health and safety reasons.
Film released about saint A FILM has been made about the Lancashire saint who was hung, drawn and quartered at Tyburn in the 17th century.
The film, entitled In Search of St John Southworth, follows four pupils from Douay Martys School in Hillingdon on a pilgrimage around London as they find out more about the saint's life. St John Southworth's remains are kept at Westminster Cathedral.
CTS to offer more chapel missals MORE copies of the new chapel missal will be available from February, the Catholic Truth Society has said. Supplies of the missal ran out a few weeks ago.

Cardinal: same-sex marriage is 'grotesque subversion'
SAME-SEX marriage would represent a "grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right", Cardinal Keith O'Brien has said, saying that it would have "huge implications" for society.
The Archbishop of Edinburgh and St Andrews also accused government ministers of being "disingenuous" and of "staggering arrogance" over suggestions that churches would not be obliged to solemnise gay marriages.
In his article for the Scottish Mail on Sunday the leader of Scotland's Catholics said the Church would do everything it could to "protect" marriage after the Scottish government recently revealed it has begun gathering views on whether same-sex marriage should be made legal. A 14-week consultation asks if marriage in Scotland should be allowed for gay people through a civil or religious ceremony, whereas at the moment same-sex ceremonies cannot be conducted in a church or other religious premises.
Ministers and officials say they intend to meet key groups to discuss the proposals, which would ensure that religious organisations do not have to register same-sex marriages against their will.
But in his article the cardinal said that while "this may seem to be an innocuous proposition", in fact i t fulfilled what he had warned the public about when civil partnerships were introduced.
He said: "Since all the legal rights of marriage are already available to homosexual couples through civil partnership and since the number of civil partnerships entered into has been falling steadily for the last three years, it is clear that this proposal is not about rights, but is an attempt to redefine marriage for the whole of society at the behest of a small minority of activists."
The cardinal, who has been an outspoken critic of the Scottish government in the past, also pointed out that marriage had always been defined as being between a man and a woman, and that what was being proposed was a revolutionary step.
He said: "We should be clear that redefining marriage will have huge implications for what is taught in our schools and for wider society. But can we simply redefine terms at a whim? Can a word whose meaning has been clearly understood in every society throughout history suddenly be changed to mean something else?"
He said that when "Scotland's politicians suggest that they might jettison the established understanding of marriage and subvert the meaning set out in Article 16 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights as a relationship between men and women, the response seems meek and muted. Their madness is indulged."
The Cardinal added: "The Universal Declaration on Human Rights is crystal clear when it says that marriage is a right which applies to men and women, it goes on to state, that 'the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State'. This universal truth is so self-evident that it shouldn't need to be repeated.
"If the Scottish government attempts to demolish a universally recognised human right, it will have forfeited the trust which the nation, including many in the Catholic community, have placed in i t , and i ts intolerance will shame Scotland in the eyes of the world.
"As an institution, marriage long pre-dates the existence of any state or government. It was not created by government and should not be changed by them, instead recognising the innumerable benefits which marriage brings to society they should act to protect and uphold it not attack or dismantle it."
The Church of Scotland has also expressed opposition to a change in the law and said that it was worried about the "speed with which the government is proceeding on this issue" believing the debate to be "patchy, underdeveloped and exclusive of both ordinary people and the religious community".
Muslim leaders are also opposed, although five small religious communities are in favour.
Deputy Scottish prime minister Nicola Sturgeon has said all views would be listened to, but added that ministers "tended towards the initial view" that same-sex marriage should be introduced.
The government's consultation closed this week. Although opinion polls show moderate support for legalising gay marriage, critics argue that polls have tended to use loaded questions.
Cardinal O'Brien and Ann Allen of the Church of Scotland spoke at a rally last week organised by a campaign group opposed to same-sex marriage. It followed the delivery of about 20,000 postcards to the parliament signed by those who do not want same-sex marriage to be legalised.
Adverts will also appear in advertisements and a poster van advertising the campaign group will drive around the streets of Edinburgh.
The petition calls for a referendum on the issue and expresses concerns about the wider implications of redefining marriage.
Archbishop: let's focus on positive side of marriage
THE ARCHBISHOP of Westminster has clarified comments that were interpreted by some Catholics as an endorsement of civil partnerships.
Speaking at a press conference on behalf of the bishops' conference of England and Wales last month, Archbishop Vincent Nichols said: "We would want to emphasise that civil partnerships actually provide a structure in which people of the same sex who want a lifelong relationship [and] a lifelong partnership can find their place and protection and legal provision... "as a Church we are very committed to the notion of equality so that people are treated the same across all the activities of life. The Church holds great store by the value of commitment in relationships and undertakings that people give."
But Archbishop Nichols has clarified his comments in an interview with the Catholic News Agency (CNA), saying that he is trying to defend the "profound good of marriage".
He said: "We've got to find the ways of speaking to people about the positive values of marriage as it's always been understood,
while not getting boxed off by somehow being accused of being homophobic."
In 2003 the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith issued guidelines that made clear that "respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions". It also said: "All Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions."
Archbishop Nichols was asked by CNA if the bishops of England were contradicting the Vatican's guidelines and explained that the bishops have tried "to recognise the reality of the legal provision in our country of an agreement, a partnership, with many of the same legal safeguards as in marriage".
He also explained that while the bishops recognise the existence of civil partnerships, they also "believe that that is sufficient", and that same-sex relationships should not be placed on a par with marriage.
The archbishop's latest comments are an indication of the strategy that the bishops' conference might employ as they resist attempts to legalise gay marriage. The bishops are expected to argue in a formal submission to the Government that gay marriage legislation is unnecessary given that civil partnerships legislation is already in place.
The Civil Partnerships Act was introduced by the Labour government in 2004 granting gay couples equal rights to married men and women. The Coalition Government has since lifted the ban on civil partnerships taking place on religious premises, prompting anger from some religious groups.
The contention surrounding gay unions has intensified since the Government's announcement in September that it plans to introduce gay marriage before the next election.
The Archbishop of Westminster said at the press conference last month that opposing this legislation was the central focus of the bishops' plenary meeting in November.
The Government will host a formal consultation on the gay marriage proposals in March which is expected to last 12 weeks. During this period the bishops will have an opportunity to argue against the introduction of gay marriage.

Report: relatives kept in dark over 'care pathway' BY MADELEINE TEAHAN
RELATIVES are not always informed when a loved one is placed on a controversial endof-life programme, according to a new report by the Royal College of Physicians and Marie Curie Cancer Trust.
The report found that although end-of-life care had improved, families were not always told that their loved ones had been placed on the Liverpool Care Pathway.
The Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) is a clinical template specifically designed for patients in the last days of their lives in order to avoid unnecessary or invasive treatment. The pathway has come under scrutiny from some doctors and pro-life groups who are concerned about its ethical status.
The latest report found that although in 94 per cent of cases doctors discussed plans with relatives, there was a worrying gap in communication in some instances. For example, in one hospital trust, doctors had conversations with fewer than half of families about the care of their loved one.
Dr Patrick Pullicino, a consultant neurologist at East Kent University, told the Daily Telegraph that it was vital that more information about the LCP was made available following the latest finding on a lack of communication with patients' relatives.
He said: "We need to know how frequently it is being used.
Data should be released showing the proportion of patients who die in hospital who were on the Liverpool Care Pathway and how many were on it against their will or that of their family."
But a spokesman for Marie Cure Cancer Trust said that the Liverpool Care Pathway was too often presented as a pathway from which patients could never be withdrawn, and there was a common misconception that once doctors started to use the clinical template the patient's death was inevitable.
She said: "The issue is that the LCP is only as good as the training of the staff who are using it... Marie Curie absolutely support the recommendations in the report that families can be better communicated with through better training... It isn't the LCP guidelines which are at fault. It is the way in which they are implemented."
Dr David Jones of the Anscombe Bioethics Centre, a Catholic institute, said: "In my own view there is nothing in the most recent version of the Liverpool Care Pathway that is contrary to Catholic teaching, and if done well I firmly believe that this pathway can enhance patient care.
"I think already it has had a positive effect on improving communication with patients and with relatives and carers and has drawn much-needed attention to the spiritual care of the dying."
of British Jews. The conversation covered many topics, including Catholic-Jewish relations, Vatican-Jewish relations, the clash between faith and secularism, and other challengers to believers.
The meeting came towards the end of a successful 2011 Inter
Faith Week, the third such event. The Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks is to meet Pope Benedict on Sunday in Rome, the first such meeting since the papal visit last year, when Lord Sacks gave the introductory speech at St Mary's College, Twickenham.

All my life, I've found going to the eye doctor kind of creepy. It's the darkened room, the stranger all up in your face. It's weird. I don't know why the eye doctor is the one that specifically wigs me out, since any type of doctor is pretty much inside of one's dancing space. (Remember Johnny in Dirty Dancing? "This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don't go into yours, you don't go into mine.") Doctors can't heed the sage words of Mr. Castle. They are supposed to get in your space. Dentists are all in your mouth and stuff, but yet, I'm comfortable with that. And other types of doctors, who tend to make you wear those buttless paper outfits (now THAT should be a Project Runway challenge: "make a better looking disposable paper hospital gown. Carry on!"), you'd think that would be the creepiest form of doctory going. But no. For me, it's the eye doctor. Maybe it's the lighting. Other doctors' offices keep the lighting harsh and bright, clinical to the max. Eye doctors, though. They get you with that mood lighting. The lights go down and you half expect a record player to pop out of the wall and a wet bar to flip out of the counter, like Rock Hudson's apartment in Pillow Talk. Or at least that's what you expect if you're me, and you think that life could turn into a Doris Day movie at any moment.
When I was growing up, I had this eye doctor who was perfectly nice, but he used to wear this head gear thing that had a light on it. Like a miner. So there I am, a little kid, sort of scared of strangers, and there's this guy who looks like he's half Borg or something, looming over me. The other thing I remember about him is that when he was up close to me, I could hear him breathing, and he always had a sort of whistling sound that came out of his nose. I almost expected a tumbleweed to drift out of there.
My other memorable eye doctor was one that Neighbor J and I went to, who we dubbed The Lid Flipper. He was a socially awkward man, who made stale jokes and never could pronounce my name right. The awfulness about him was that he would do this thing where he would check the inside of your eyelids. I have never, before or since, had any eye doctor do this. He would take this long Q-Tip, tell you to look down, and press the cotton end of the Q-tip onto your upper eyelid, and FLIP IT INSIDE OUT. Remember how there was always some weird little boy in elementary school who could flip their eyelids inside out? Well, this one grew up to be an eye doctor, and he's doing it to his patients. Lemme tell ya, it don't feel so good. It burns, actually. And of course, when you're at the doctor, you just try to go with whatever hellish thing they are putting you through, instead of yelling out "what the fuck are you doing flipping my eyelids inside out? You getting your jollies offa this, Lid Flipper?"
So, after a few sessions with the Lid Flipper and a change of health insurance, I found a new eye doctor. Just picked his name out of my insurance book (such a great thing, our health care system). Well, people, I hit the jackpot with this one. I now have, what I am sure is THE BEST EYE DOCTOR EVER. I love him. He's nice, he's funny, he makes such lovely, witty conversation. It's like you're hanging out with a friend, only-- oh yeah-- he's checking your eyes too. He's always so pally, asking me about the librarian business, so happy to see me, and we often talk lovingly of Chicago, where we both used to live. We have, like, these real conversations that are actually entertaining. So now, I look forward to going to my eye doctor.
Ok, you got me. I confess. In addition to all of the above, he's also, um, well, how shall I put this...he's hawt. Yes indeedy, I have me some eye candy for my eye doctor. Believe me, there is no impropriety involved, but...sigh...he's foxy. So, there I am, a life-long creeped-out-by-the-eye-doctor girlie, and, well, I'm not minding the dimmed lights quite so much. Sure, go ahead, be all up in my space. I suddenly don't have a problem with that. In fact, I sit there and think up funny things that I could say...
Him: Could you read the last line on this chart please?
Me: U R H-O-T.
Him: What?
Me: Oh. I mean... I M O-V-E-R-H-E-A-T-I-N-G.
Him: Oh no.
Me: Oops, sorry. Did I say that out loud?
Ok, so maybe going to the eye doctor is still creepy. Only now the tables have turned on the source of the creepyness.
Kiss the rings, I'm out.

Flipped My Lid

hahahahah That is way too funny! My eye doctor has a the most hypnotic voice - When he says, "Number 1 or number 2? Number 2 or number 3?", you feel like you're going into a trance.. Did you ever read the line in the chart that says R-U-M-A-R-R-I-E-D? hahahah
Oh my gosh, I had the biggest crush on my eye doctor when I lived in the land of corn. He was slightly shy and just dreamy. He would dim the lights to check my retinas and my heart would be knockin. I once came in and he said "wait here!" and ran to the back where he ripped an article out of his New England Journal of Medicine that was about a topic in my field that we discussed 6 months earlier. Sigh. After seeing him (for eye exams only) for years I learned his wife had a very public affair and they were getting divorced. I scheduled my exam immediately. Alas, he was too professional and heartbroken to do more than check for glaucoma. And then I had to go and move out of the state. Enjoy your doctor!
- pagan said...
The lid flipper - Eeeeewww! Personally I hate the glaucoma test. Ick! *Love* the Pillow Talk reference. No one could ever inject such disgust or distain into the simple words "Oh Brother", like Doris Day!
- marty said...
I heart the Project Runway idea! Angela's paper gown would be able to be button closed in the ass with those stupid rosettes she always makes.
And - I had a miner eye doctor too when I was growing up! And have a hawt one now :) - 12:04 PM

This is really gross, but when I was a kid, my dentist had terrible dandruff in his eyebrows. So you'd be sitting there with your mouth wide open, hoping nothing would fall in. Eewwww!

THAT IS TOTALLY SICCCCK, d.h.!

I always wanted to be an eye doctor, just so I could say, "Better like this or better like this? Better like this or better like this?"
And then I could start doing that in the bedroom and women couldn't get mad cause I'd be like, "But I'm an eyedoctor!" and they'd sigh and go, "Alright, fine. Let's just get this over with."
...Even in my fantasies women really aren't that thrilled to be with me. But at least they put up with it. - 6:09 AM

Does the hottie eyeball doc do that hideous test where a puff of air gets shot into your eye? I think I would rather go blind than endure the puff of air test.
- Katie K said...
Whenever my former eye doctor would do the scary up in your face thing with the flashlight, I would have to concentrate sooooo much to keep from nervously laughing mainly because he was very slow and methodical (thus him being in my face for way longer than is comfortable) and because he breathed heavily, right on my face. Eww. He also took FOR-EV-ER to do the poof in the eye thing, which would would also turn me into a giggly nervous wreck waiting for the inevitable.
Luckily, my new eye doctor does the poof test quickly and efficiently and does not breathe on my face while playing with the flashlight. However, sadly she is not a hot guy. - 11:43 AM

Oh and I loooooved the Pillow Talk reference--*sigh* if my eye doctor looked like Rock Hudson, he could flip my lids anytime.

Darlene and I have the same eye doctor. He is very hypnotic. Totally makes me sleepy.
Flipping your lid out is just whacked. I wouldn't even let Nick Lachey flip my lids. And I'd pretty much let Nick Lachey do anything to me. - 9:36 PM

Dear Brothers and sisters, i have a question regarding to Tashahhud in salah .I have always believed that u must say Tashahhud and Assalatul-Ibrahimiyah .Recently i have read on the internet that u only have to say Assalatul-Ibrahimiyah when u are doing the last 2 rakhaat of a 4 rakhaat prayer ? have i been praying wrong ? |
Dear Brother, Al salamou alaikum! in the last Rakaa of all Salah, we say the tashahoud full. (for all salah which might consists of two, three or four rakaat). and only in the case of praying a salah which consists of more than two rakaa (3 or 4 rakaat like maghrib or Duhr asr and Eisha) we should say half of the tashahoud(till "ashhadou anna laa ilaha illa Allah wa ashhadou anna Muhammadan Rasoulullah") after the 2nd sujud of the second rakaa. (and in the last rakaa we will say it again but in full) so in the case of two rakaa, you will only say tashahoud once full at the last rakaa. in the case of maghrib or Duhr, Asr and eisha, you will say half the tashahoud in the second rakaa and again but in full in the last rakaa. |
Thank you for your anwser brother ,but i i have read alot of different articles that their are majority of people who just say half and then last rakhaat full .but its optional to say it full at first tashahoud so their are different views . |

Step Right Up
OOB's legendary carney Dave "the Guesser" Glovsky became famous for his ESP.
By Will Bleakley
Photograph from Collections of Maine Historical Society
For fifty-two years, calls of "Step right this way and let me guess your weight" were as much a part of the Old Orchard Beach experience as the pier and surf. Dave "the Guesser" Glovsky was a five-foot-five-inch former amateur boxer who found a second career as OOB's most famous carney thanks to his uncanny ability to correctly guess (for a dollar) your age, weight, car, job, favorite drink, hobby, and even the last time you had sex.
Glovsky, initially a furniture mover, never intended to be a carnival guesser. His friend asked him to man a guessing stand on the pier for a few days, but the friend never returned, and Glovsky never left. From 1945 until he died in 1997, he managed to turn a small operation, which consisted of a folding chair, a brass scale, a dummy named Cyrano, and a wealth of corny jokes, into a career worthy of national recognition. Over the years he guessed the weights of such American icons as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. He even made a television appearance on David Letterman, where, on air, he correctly guessed the exact age and weight of the sardonic host.
Glovsky credited his talent to ESP (which, he said, stood for "Experience — Sex Appeal — and Personality") as well as his sense of humor. Even if most of his cracks elicited more of a sympathy chuckle than a guffaw, there was a method to his madcap madness. According to Glovsky, wrinkles appear under the eyes at age twenty-five, crows' feet show up at thirty, and at seventy, wrinkles have wrinkles. When guessing someone's weight, he'd compare the customer to a friend or relative whose weight he already knew.
Guessing one's weight and age can be a dangerous game, though, and plastic sunglasses, flags, balloons, and temporary tattoos sometimes weren't enough of a consolation prize for an incorrect guess. Glovsky once overshot a woman's age by five years. Instead of picking a prize, she picked the Guesser. She walked away dragging him under her arm and said, "I'll take you." His ESP had finally let him down — or, perhaps only the E and P. His sex appeal, apparently, never wavered.

Do You Book Many of Your Weddings For The Year During The Winter?
Here's a discussion that I'm hoping that all of the wedding vendors seeing this will answer. It's about booking weddings during the winter months. I noticed that almost every bridal show / wedding expo takes place during the winter months. This may happen since it's during the typical off-season wedding months, but as wedding vendors, do you book most of your weddings for the year during the winter months?
I'm curious to know with all of the bridal shows / wedding expos that take place during the winter months if this is a trend for wedding bookings. So do you book many of your weddings for the year during the winter months, or do you book more weddings during another month or season?
To clarify my question, I'm not talking about winter weddings, I'm talking about weddings for ANY time of year, but book during the winter months. If you would like to share your wedding business stats, or your opinion on the topic, just post your comment below to join this wedding forum discussion.

I attend a couple bridal shows every year, and have noticed that they are usually during the winter. You're probably right about all of the wedding expos and bridal shows taking place during the winter months since this is a common time of year where not many weddings are going on, and because of that it usually does mean that my bookings will be a little better during the winter, but as a wedding photographer in the New York and New Jersey area I usually book the majority of my weddings during December, February and August.... those are the busiest months for booking weddings, but the busiest months for weddings that I'm working at are usually June and September that completely book up first.
Oddly, most of the business we get is during late spring and early summer. I'm not really sure why. We are located in the Seattle area, and there is one huge wedding show here in January. This will be the first year I'll attend. Much of what we do is referral based. However, lately we've been looking to do some advertising, but only if it makes sense. Naturally, it would be a big benefit if we could nail down a specific time when our ads would have the greatest reach. Based on what I'm being told (by ad sales people) January or February are definitely the months to advertise. I assume, therefore, this is the time of year when most wedding vendors book the bulk of their business.
@GiftsandFavors - As for advertising online, I have done a lot of this myself, and it really depends on the type of online advertising you are looking to do. If you go with the rotational banner ads on popular wedding sites, or use google adsense, then yes, I would agree with the late winter to early spring.
But that can also be an expensive time if you're going with a cost per click ad since you're competing with other wedding vendors during a peak season for wedding planning. I prefer to go through mid to high volume wedding niche websites myself that don't use rotation banners, more specifically some kind of directory if I can get top placement, since this advertising is year round and usually much more affordable. I have done well with that type of advertising too.
Speaking of... hey Phil, if you check back into this discussion soon, have you finished with your directory here on TyingTheKnott.com? I was interested in getting an ad here in NY or NJ, or maybe both, depending on pricing. Could you email me or reply? Thanks - Gerald
We start to get a lot of inquires around December for summer weddings.
I think spring and summer is the best season for wedding .
Yes, Spring and Summer are the most common times for weddings, but he wanted to know when they book.
We get a lot of requests for Spring and Summer weddings by December and January, and sometimes 24 months in advance. But mostly 6 to 12 months in advance.
I book a majority of my weddings in November-Feb., but that could also be a result of not having availability when couples call in March and beyond. Since I am now working with five other officiants, it will be interesting to see when I book weddings beyond my own.
After this past Christmas and New Year it has been crazy busy with inquiries. We have also done two wedding shows recently and that has helped a lot. So, to answer your questions our busiest time to book is just after Christmas and a week or two after Valentine's day. It has been pretty consistent over the past years.
With Christmas, Valentines Day and with this year being a leap year 29th Feb being popular times to propose we tend to find that a high percentage of our bookings are during the first quarter of the year.
I think right around the holidays when many proposals are made is the start of our bookings for the following year. This seems to be the best time for bridal shows in the early months of the year as prospective brides and grooms have a little more time on their hands to begin the planning process.

Maybe it's nesting… I don't know. Maybe it's simply the urge to try take back some sort of control or clear my head by clearing up my surroundings. Call it what you will, but I've had the drive to organize ORGANIZE ORGANIZE!
First came the kids' room. It's nowhere near perfect, but with some help from my mom… clothing was sorted and donated, broken toys trashed, and toys put where they belonged. I didn't change much in toy storage (although I am still on the lookout for new ideas), but I did change up the hair accessory storage – which used to all be thrown into a clear plastic container in their armoire.
Those of you with a 4 year old and 2 year old would know why my previous storage system might pose a problem… (Think broken pieces and lost headbands EVERYWHERE!)
So, I grabbed a Quaker Oats container, slipped the headbands around that and then divided up their smaller hair accessories into baggies and put those inside and closed the lid. I put a few hair elastics around my hairbrush since when I put Lala's hair up, I generally use the brush. Then, I put it all in MY bathroom to keep small hands out of it when they just feel like playing…or snacking…on something.
Along the way, I found some other great organizational tips for Kids' Rooms that I thought you all would like… check 'em out!
Do you have any tips or solutions for organizing kids' rooms? Do you have any favorite tutorials? Let us know in the comments!

There's no doubt that a container garden can add an instant punch of color to balconies, patios, porches and small yards. But did you know that planting the right selection of flowers can transform these small spaces into culinary havens for butterflies, too?
Imagine the excitement of watching as a myriad of butterflies—from small skippers to sizeable swallowtails—drift from one pot of flowers to another. They'll uncoil their tongues and sip nectar from each bloom...right before your eyes!
Just about any nectar-rich flowering plant, shrub, vine or small tree will grow in a container. Garden centers and nurseries offer a variety of pots and planters in various styles, colors, materials and sizes.
Options include plastic, wood, metal, stone, glazed pottery or clay, as well as lightweight planters made of polyethylene, fiberglass resin or other materials.
And, if you think beyond the confines of a standard pot, you'll uncover a wealth of items to recycle into creative containers. For example, a rustic wash basin, worn wheelbarrow or leaky birdbath can make stylish containers for butterfly plants.
Pots as small as 10 inches in diameter are fine for single plant displays, but 18 inches or larger is best when growing shrubs, trees or multiple plants. Larger containers are also less subject to temperature changes, and because they hold more soil, plant roots stay moist longer.
Whatever container you use, be sure it drains well. If a pot lacks adequate drainage, add holes to the bottom. Elevating containers on pottery feet, bricks, stones or even an upside-down pot also helps improve drainage.
Want to know how to create a stunning plant display? The same design elements that make winning plant combinations for people to enjoy are also essential for attracting butterflies.
The key is to balance unity with variety—having some of the same colors and plant types in a container while still varying the heights, hues and bloom times. This will create multilayered and multi-season container gardens that appeal to many types of butterflies.
Plants arranged at varying heights also draw a diverse crowd of butterflies because they offer nectar flowers at different levels. Achieve this by mixing plants with trailing, bushy and upright growth habits.
For instance, grow a butterfly buffet featuring a chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) with catmint and trailing scaevola underneath. Or grow butterfly bush in a container with coral bells and garden verbena or sweet peas spilling over the edge. Garden phlox with candytuft and trailing geraniums (Pelargonium) also make an attractive combination.
If you find that a single tree or shrub looks lonely in its pot, fill it out by adding low-growing or trailing flowers, such as sedums, trailing lantana or verbena.
You can also feature a single species in a container and create the multilayered appeal by grouping several containers at varying heights. Use items like bricks, cement blocks, plant stands, pedestals, wooden stools or upside-down pots to raise the containers.
While a flower's color, shape or scent will attract butterflies to some degree, the biggest draw by far is the bloom's nectar.
Adult butterflies typically have very cosmopolitan tastes, best served with a smorgasbord of nectar-rich flowers, especially those with flower clusters or daisy-like blooms, such as purple coneflower, mums, yarrow and butterfly weed, as well as tubular or bell-shaped flowers.
Not every nectar flower is suitable as food for butterflies. The amount of nectar a flower produces can vary within the species. Sometimes more fanciful double-flowered varieties are bred to impress the eye and not the appetite. So go with species plants whenever possible, rather than cultivars.
In addition to attracting adult butterflies, you can transform any small area into a butterfly nursery. Just grow a few containers of host plants, such as milkweed, mallow or asters. Adult female butterflies lay their eggs on these plants, and young caterpillars feed on them after hatching. Growing caterpillar foods also will bring in more butterflies for longer periods of time. You might even catch sight of species you've never seen before.
Unlike adult butterflies, caterpillars are very picky eaters. As a result, each species seeks out a specific plant or plants for its eggs.
Monarch caterpillars, for example, feed exclusively on milkweed, while skippers mostly feed on grasses, sedges and legumes like wisteria and peas. Host plant preferences can vary within a species. Tiger swallowtails seek out trees like poplars, cherries and tulips, while black and anise swallowtail caterpillars dine on dill, fennel and parsley.
Some winning container combinations to attract several species are milkweed, fennel and grasses; and dogwood and violets with mallow.
With a little planning, you can also make your container garden do double duty. Some nectar sources, like penstemon and nasturtium, also are tasty meals for caterpillars.
Remember that a butterfly container garden isn't limited to patios, decks and entrance areas. Use potted plants to fill in bare spaces in a newly planted perennial bed or garden border. Stagger them on steps, encircle a tree or use them to line a walkway or path. Northern gardeners will need to provide protection for their overwintering plants and shrubs.
One thing is certain: A group of containers in a bright, sunny area can go a long way to providing habitat for butterflies...and a beautiful oasis for you.

I've always emphasized that anything I've bought on flipkart has always been the best value for money, no two ways about it.
My dad and I went looking for this battery all over the place. Shops of well repute refused to budge from the MRP and said they only made 40 rupees off it.
I suggested to my dad that we forego the hassle of looking around and haggling and try flipkart.
I have to say, dad has this big grin on his face, like he just won a prize because he got this battery for 50 rupees less. I can't imagine how elated my mum will be, once she figures out how to buy things online.
We're all doing our best to keep her in the dark ;)
i have bought 3 batteries for me and my buddies through flipkart and all of them working very good
from last three months and till now my battery back up is 2 deys..............
its my request to buy nokia battery to improove ur battery back up
And buy it through flipkart
This is the battery for bread and butter phones from Nokia. Perhaps it is the most widely used battery in India. So it is a time tested product which powers most Nokia sets and is specifically designed for them. Good backup and charges fast. Ordered for my father's old set and now the set is back to life again.
Again flipcart service spot on. Flipcart may be selling its products at slightly higher price from competitive sites but its delivery and customer service is worth while.
I bought this Battery as a replacement for BL-6C which is not easily available in market today.
The Battery fits in well without any issues. Gives ample backup on a single charge. Its light weight and doesn't get too hot like BL-6C.
Its been more than a week I started using it... no issues at all. I strongly recommend this to those buyers who are hunting for BL-6C equivalent battery from Nokia.
The battery was nicely packed by Flipkart, and was delivered within 48hrs of placing order. Also, I got it at Rs. 30 cheaper than the market price.
I've bought this battery for my good old Nokia -1110 , it's been long time association, but after using it for almost 5 years, the cell inside the phone started swelling and back-up time gradually went down. Since, the market is flooded with spurious Nokia battery, I banked on Flipkart. Flipkart took 7days to deliver the product. New battery gives awesome back-up. In this regard I want to mention that BL-5C that comes with the phone and the BL-5C which one can buy either online or Nokia stores, look completely different.. Few newer Nokia models( i.e.- X2-02) come with BL-5C battery but the back-up time is poor compared to the BL-5C that you can buy separately. I myself checked it with my Nokia X2-02.. The battery that I've bought from Flipkart clearly outruns the BL-5C that came along with Nokia X2-02.

DIY Map Heart Art
A couple weeks ago I created this map heart art to replace the thanksgiving one I had. I got the idea from pinterest and thought it was cute! I live in Texas and love it but I didn't have a Texas map but I did have an Illinois map and I grew up in Illinois so I created the heart using an Illinois map. I created a tutorial to show you all how I made my map heart. It is super easy! I think I made it in less than five minutes.
You will need: 1. map 2. glue 3. cardstock 4.scissors
Step One: fold your cardstock paper in half
(please excuse my chipped nails)
Step Two: draw half a heart, as big as you would like your map heart to be
Step Three: cut out your cardstock heart & trace on to your map
Step Four: cut out your map heart and glue on to cardstock
and here is the final product...

Current & Upcoming Films
After the film, there will be a short Q&A with filmmaker Aaron Dennis.
The People and The Olive is an inspiring documentary about the daily struggles and joys of Palestinian olive farmers. When a group of American ultra-marathoners sets out to run 129 miles in 5 days across the West Bank they discover that in replanting uprooted olive trees they are planting hope and building cultural bridges.
The People and The Olive was filmed during the Run Across Palestine in February 2012, as a project of the Michigan based non-profit On The Ground, which works to support sustainable community development in farming regions across the world. The run was supported by the Palestine Fair Trade Association, a collective of over 1700 small-scale farmers in the West Bank who have embraced fair trade practices to sustain their future and to sell their products worldwide.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Dawn Phenomenon and the Somogyi Effect
The dawn phenomenon and the Somogyi effect cause high blood sugar levels, especially in the morning before breakfast, in people with diabetes.
The dawn phenomenon occurs when:
The Somogyi effect can occur when a person takes long-acting insulin for diabetes. If the blood sugar level drops too low in the early morning hours, hormones (such as growth hormone, cortisol, and catecholamines) are released. These help reverse the low blood sugar level but may lead to blood sugar levels that are higher than normal in the morning. An example of the Somogyi effect is:
The Somogyi effect can occur any time you or your child has extra insulin in the body. To sort out whether an early morning high blood sugar level is caused by the dawn phenomenon or Somogyi effect, check blood sugar levels around 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. for several nights.

We lose Rosie
Rosie died last night.
Post Note: We came to call it "The Spring of Death". In 2009 we fought our first fight with Ketosis and lost two treasured ewes, Rosie and Coral Bell, along with all 6 triplets they carried. The posts leading up to this one will tell you the struggle.
She was progressively getting weaker all day and I knew her time was near. Her breathing was slower, and she could not swallow well. She showed no signs of pain. She was still coherant most of the day, but by late afternoon she was pretty much in a state of sleep, occasionaly opening her eyes, or a twitch here and there - a clear sign her body was slowly shutting down. The little son who lived so she would die is gaining strength, and is wobbly but on his feet. I brought him out to the barn for the day and he stayed cuddled up with her all day until I brought him back in the house. I took this photo and imagine she died within a few hours, as is this how I found her this morning.
I sat with the two of them for an hour or more yesterday, Rosie's head cradled on my lap, while I said my final goodbyes and thank you's to this magnificant mother, herd leader and friend. She was our first sheep. While Coral's death left a huge impression, Rosie's death leaves a hole.
But it is time to move forward. We had healthy twin ewes from Blue on Saturday, and Daisy should lamb soon. Then we are done for the season. We have learned. Tomorrow is my 51st birthday. I feel 90 after the last 8 days, but it will be a day of peace for the farm, as our girls will all be buried, safe. And that little boy of Rosie's lives on - he is here for some reason.
Rosie, it was such an honor, all of it.

Katherine-I've been checking your blog frequently,hoping that there would be good news about Rosie...am feeling heartbroken for your losses this past week,realizing how much you love your furry children. I'm praying that Daisy's delivery will be uneventful & that Rosie's son will continue to gain strength & grow in good health...and that you will soon be able to get some much needed rest.

Oh Katherine, this has just been a completely heart-wrenching time. I am so sad you lost Rosie. She is with my Rosie the beakless chicken now. I suspect that my Rosie is sitting up on your Rosie's back, keeping a watch out for all their friends. My Rosie loved to sit out with the sheep. I'm sure Coral Belle is happy as can be to have a friend with her.
Blessings to you on your birthday. I hope it will be a year of renewal.
Scritches to Rosie's boy, he's going to be a handsome man. - 2:31 PM

Kathryn, I wasn't able to catch up until today. I am so terribly sorry! I know this must be so hard and bittersweet for you, but the ones who remain will give you strength. I am so sorry for your pain.
- Cathy said...
My dear, I am so sad for you. I'm sure Rosie knew that her boy was nestled against her and I'm happy she's at peace now.
Her life may have been too short but she was blessed to spend it with such a loving, caring shepherdess. Renewing your flock will be a tribute to her; I hope that baby boy grows up to father many more healthy, happy Apifera sheep. - 3:06 PM

Oh, how sad. I have been praying for Rosie and now she is gone. I hope her little boy gets strong and grows to be an asset to your flock. I am so sorry for your losses. Happy Birthday.

i cannot imagine how difficult this must be for you. i'm writing to let you know that people miles away thought of you and both Coral and Rosie, sending all three of you positive and comforting thoughts. I know that they are at peace now and that these traumatic few days will have taught many of us reading your blog what it means to be human. thanks for your courage to share.

Dear Katherine,

Hi I am so sorry for both of the losses you have suffered through, the photo bought tears to my eyes. But she was so loved. Happy Birthday for today, yours is three days before mine, although much older than you. Love your blog.
- livingston lamb said...
Your blog inspires me. I really am sorry for the farm's loss. But every ending is just a beginning and though Rosie's death may feel heartwrenching, she is a brave creature whose son surely has survived at her cost for a purpose.
All the best wishes. - 5:10 PM
- Red Fish Circle said...
Oh Katherine, what a time you have had. My heart is so heavy thinking of your losses. That photo sums it all up. It is all about the love we give and receive and all of your animals leave this earth with so much love. My heart is with you....
Try to celebrate wonderful you tomorrow - let the love in. - 8:03 PM

On the Florida Roundup: Florida has its new Education Commissioner, former Indiana Superintendent Tony Bennett. We'll learn why Jeb Bush fans are thrilled and the teachers unions are not.

And we hear from you on Florida's growing need for remedial education and what the purpose of high school should be. Tweet us @WLRN.
The Miami-Dade absentee ballots have all been counted. And color us blue. That blank on the U.S. map usually known as Florida is now filled in. Mitt Romney has conceded Florida. Miami-Dade County itself turned out for Barak Obama in a big way. The final results are : 62% for the President and 38% for Mitt Romney. Now the attention turns to what took so long and how to prevent a repeat performance. Elections Supervisor Penelope Townsley admits more and larger locations are needed and says her department, along with the mayor's office, will examine what can be done differently.
State election officials say they have received just over 1 million early votes and more than 1.5 million absentee ballots. Meanwhile, election officials are visiting Palm Beach County again. The county's election office has been plagued with printing problems on its absentee ballots.
Early voting starts tomorrow, and many say they plan on taking advantage of the pre-Election Day hours. Mary from North Miami writes:
I like the feeling of participation and community that comes with standing in line with neighbors I don't even know. But there's a limit to the number of hours I want to devote to this experience, and I want to make sure my vote gets in, so I'll probably be voting early next week.
At the urging of the Obama campaign, Florida voters are showing up at elections offices around the state to fill out absentee ballots.
This comes on the heels of elections supervisors in Broward and Palm Beach counties advising voters to get absentee ballots and mail them.
The reason: long ballots and possibly long waits.

Hello RGB, I had no intention to take up your whole morning :-) (Neither did I intend to exploit your susceptibility to DoS attack by making provocative comments :-)) ) Of course, I agree with your explanation about databases. However, > MOST of the energy of this list is devoted to HPC -- numerical > computations and applications. > ... > Nevertheless, databases per se are not numerical HPC, and a cluster > built to do SQL transactions on a collective shared database is not > properly called a "beowulf" yes, but I still have a feeling that you are trying to squeeze _numerical_ to definition of beowulf which would be a pity because there are problems with _numerical/symbolic_ mix best solved on exactly the same type of hardware as the _numerical_ ones. I hope these can live on this list as well, unless cooling the FPU portion of the chip bacames the main topic here :-)) OK, I do confess that I do pursue my selfish goals because my problems are numerical/symbolic mix :-) And no, I do not use SQL databases for them. However I know people who do misuse SQL databases this way (in the similar manner we lazy people waste computer power with perl or Matlab) and who could make easy progress by MPI implementing very very limited subset of SQL, just enough to run those stupid select()s found in their code. But I repeat, normal SQL databases are mostly out of topic here, no doubt. Best Regards Vaclav Hanzl

Volume 1, Number 12 |
The speaker at the annual meeting held Sunday, June 28, 1964, at the Forsyth Community Presbyterian Church was Mr. Claude Hibbard of Ava. In his address he said, "If you know your local history, you will sooner or later know your state and national history and be better prepared to safeguard our national heritage." He also pointed out the importance of the non-conformist in the creation of our nation:
"Had it not been for the non-conformist, our forefathers would have meekly accepted British rule and we might not have gained our independence."
Elmo Ingenthron, outgoing secretary, gave a brief report on the history of Forsyth taken from a Civil War diary written by a Union officer stationed at Forsyth in the late winter and spring of 1863.
President Ralph McPherson presided at the business meeting during which new officers were elected and two members elected to Honorary Membership.
The officers for 1964-65 are Mr. Claude Hibbard, president; Dr. O. Myking Mehus, first vice-president; Mrs. Kenneth D. Ford, second vice-president; Miss Belle Mosley, secretary; Mr. Elmo Ingenthron, historian. Mr. Elmer Curry of Ava was elected as Director from Douglas County, Mo., and Mr. Coy Logan of Berryville was reelected as Director from Carroll County, Ark. The new Honorary Members are Mrs. May Kennedy McCord and Mrs. Lucile Morris Upton, both of Springfield.
Following adjournment of the meeting, refreshments were served and a social hour was enjoyed by all.
