Proportionate governance processes for R&D studies in the National Health Service (NHS)
Our client is responsible for managing health R&D funds provided by the UK Department of Health, and for providing support to providers and other organisations to deliver R&D studies
Objectives of the project
Health R&D is highly regulated – and it is important that providers adopt a proportionate approach to governance based on appropriate risks – otherwise set-up and delivery of R&D studies and clinical trials can be inhibited and valuable research lost from the NHS and the UK. Our client wanted to achieve a step change in collaboration, efficiency and effectiveness around the start-up of studies.
Measurable & concrete results
The client has published the Research Support Services toolkit of standard operating procedures and risk management tools on its website for use across all providers in the NHS. The toolkit supports a reduction in the time taken to proportionately assess and approve appropriate studies within NHS providers - enabling studies to start earlier, manage patient recruitment requirements and manage quality outcomes.
This enhances the reputation of the NHS to deliver studies and encourages more commercial and non-commercial R&D across the NHS.
Key success factors
- Good understanding of healthcare and stakeholders in the NHS – and an open mind as to the problem, approach and solution.
- An approach which identified key issues and outline solution early – allowing time to elaborate the solution and implementation.
- A collaborative and supportive approach across a large stakeholder group. A long term committed client and BearingPoint project team willing to share and challenge ideas. Clear leadership and focus from the client and BearingPoint.
What BearingPoint did
- BearingPoint worked with the client to develop a consistent understanding of Health R&D governance processes and relationships across a large stakeholder group including NHS providers (clinicians, R&D staff and senior leadership), regulatory bodies, pharmaceutical and medical devices organisations, academic institutions, and others.
- BearingPoint designed and delivered a set of 30+ standard operating procedures and templates that covered the governance processes of R&D studies. These needed to accommodate local variations across the NHS – both in terms of organisation types and study types. This included a twelve point study governance risk assessment which shaped the processes for specific studies. This enables straightforward studies to be fast-tracked – whilst more complex studies can be given more consideration. The toolkit also provided a R&D staff competency framework based on skills, experience and knowledge to utilise the toolkit effectively.
- BearingPoint supported the initial embedding of these changes across the NHS – with a group of NHS 'champions' – and communications with other stakeholders such as regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical companies.
- A set of key outcome measures was developed to demonstrate what could be measured and managed across this complex multi-stakeholder R&D landscape.

Woolavington veterinary nurse reaches 'disaster chef' final
7:00am Monday 2nd September 2013 in News By Kirsty James
A WOOLAVINGTON veterinary nurse has reached the final of a nationwide search to find Britain's most disastrous cook.
After six weeks of culinary sweat and tears, Rachael Gibson has been named one of the six finalists in Kenwood's Disaster Chef competition.
With the help of a weekly food hamper from Sainsbury's and video tutorials from Kenwood, Rachael has been gradually learning key skills, including making dough and meringues, to transform her cooking from inedible to incredible.
She said: "I can't believe I have made it to the final of the Kenwood Disaster Chef competition. Over the past six weeks, my confidence has grown and grown and I hope that, with the help of the Kenwood experts, I am able to transform my cooking skills enough to win."
Over the next six weeks, Rachael will learn more complex skills, including making Choux pastry and homemade pasta, to go head to head with five other finalists and prove she has what it takes to be crowned Kenwood Chef 2013.
The winner will be chosen by a judging panel, including former Celebrity Masterchef winner, Liz McClarnon, and will receive prizes such as a kitchen makeover worth £3,000, a cookery course worth £500, and a selection of Kenwood products.
Martin Johns, Kenwood Development Chef, says: "We know the kitchen can be a daunting place for some people, but Rachael has shown she is prepared to roll up her sleeves and give it a go – and she seems to be having fun on this journey, which is ultimately what cooking should be all about."
Rachael's challenges can be followed by visiting www.kenwoodworld.com/disasterchef.

Congratulations to President Obama from Arizona: Democrats must work on legal immigration reform before 2014
Wednesday, November 7th, 2012Congratulations to President Obamafrom Arizona!
The best line in his speech last night was when he said:
"We are and forever will be the United States of America."
It was my first time voting for a Democratic President – ever.
Indeed it has been a crazy election year, and I am glad to retire from hard core grassroots activism now.
I was surprised to learn that it was the Republican Presidential Candidate via Mitt Romney who profited approximately $50 million in the abortion industry via Stericycle despite their pro life platform. How did the Republican Party support a man who made $50 million dollars regarding abortions? Did the GOP change that much? Indeed they did; in fact, the RNC included an anti-immigrant official platform one week before their 2012 Convention in Florida. The John Tanton Network and FAIR thoroughly hijacked them. Republicans are now being viewed more and more each day as the modern-day Dixiecrats of old (reminiscent of the pre Civil Rights era).
What must the Democratic Party do in order to prevent Latinos from registering as independent voters?
Indeed we did listen to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's victory speech on television last night where he told the whole world that "he is merely enforcing the law" and if "people" have a problem with the law then the law should be changed. This should be a clear signal to all how Arpaio and his minions are hungry to place more blame on the Democratic Party and this is precisely why the Democratic Party must act swiftly.
We all know that Latino and immigration activists sent the Democratic Party a signal earlier this year by threatening not voting for Democratic candidates if they did not see fixes to immigration reform.
We then saw the Deferred Action take place.
Indeed the deferred action is a temporary fix, but it beats the self-deportation policies the Republicans were supporting. That said, the Democratic Party must act fast and not insult the intelligence of Latino voters anymore. We are glad to learn that the Nevada Senator Harry Reid has vowed to work on legal immigration reform.
The Democratic Party has less than two years (well before the 2014 midterm election cycle) to fix the broken immigration system while offering a legal immigration comprehensive plan. If and when the Democratic Party finds itself becoming threatened by restrictionist, isolationist and protectionist Republicans in the House of Representatives … the Democratic Party must outwit them and micro-target 2014 House seats where an increase and heavy Latino voting population exists.
The Democratic Party must take proactive moves and outmaneuver the isolationists or risk alienating Mexican-Americans (the fast growing ethnic group within the Latino population).
The responsibility does not rest on the Democratic Party either because we will be watching so-called Latino leaders and immigration activists accountable, too, to see if they hold Democratic Party leadership and their feet to the fire. Will Latino and immigration activists look the other way and continue to be sheeple? Or will they be more assertive with regard to the immigration issue?
Time will tell.
In any event, the Democratic Party must make moves to the legal immigration regard or else deal with Ruben Navarrette's continued finger pointing.
Mexican-Americans are tired of the immigration issue being used as a political football, and now that Latinos and women essentially helped vote in President Obama … and in light of key Democratic U.S. Senate seats being won – there are no excuses with regard to taking care of Homeland issues. Indeed Americans are tired of spending millions of dollars on war and abroad – it is time to fix things here at home that will only benefit the American economy and our aging population.
A healthy and legal immigration solution will secure our borders, create a safer North American Continent and promote a stronger relationship with our contiguous neighbors. Enforcement-only initiatives promote a situation that emulates the failed days of Prohibition, which serves only to encourage the underground labor market. Our government needs the additional tax revenues that new immigrants generate in order to sustain the burgeoning entitlement programs baby boomers require as they continue to retire. By developing a reasonable legal immigration plan, we create a system where immigrants share American tax burdens as they continue to contribute millions of dollars into our tax coffers. New immigrants sharing our tax burdens will help discourage our government from increasing taxes, because under the current system these entitlement programs will drain all federal revenues within 15 years.

Hi everyone and a very merry christmas,
(The ones who go looking for trouble arnt much of a problem for those who are ready for it)
Ive always been one to avoid a fight, never gone looking for trouble and most times been able to talk my way out, (one who truly understands the art of karate do is never easily drawn in to a fight, Gichin Funakoshi) but sometimes we end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having been in no more than 8 real full on fights all of which have been self-defence situations, and been very lucky and fortunate to have come out on top each time. Through my own fighting experiences im very confident and belive in what i teach (karate) really does work for the street. Below is an account of a fight which took place 7 years ago, i remember it like it was yesterday and recall the particular techniques i used that night.
I was confronted by 2 guys in a small flat corridor walk way, both guys were bigger framed than me as im only small anyway, after a few verbal exchanges and knowing it was going to, kick of, and no way of escape i quickly made the first move by using a headbutt, upon this i caught the first guys teeth which cut the top right of my eye, blood ran making me blind in the right eye, i was then pushed back by the guy i had just headbutted, i used no more than 2 or 3 left hook punches, Pinan Godan, Tekki Shodan etc, then a right sweep in which we both fell to the ground, myself on the bottom, this is the last place anyone wants to be, one on one is hard enough but 2 is just not nice, at this point the other guy came in for the boot, i kicked out using my heal which caught his knee which forced him back, this must have really hurt as he did not attempt to come back and have another go. The guy on top rained down no more than 3 punches i managed to trap his arms and turn him over, at this point he just stopped, did not struggle or try to get me of, he just lay there, a bit battered and exhausted, fight was over. As i was on top and had the advantage i could have carried on but i didnt, i raised to my feet, wiped the blood from my eye looked at them both and the bloody mess and walked of, nothing was said nor did i ever see them again. The whole fight lasted about 60 seconds, maybe a bit longer. So i used a headbutt, 2 hook punches, a sweep and a front / thrust kick from the ground against 2 guys in a small confined space. I think its very important to train 2 on one and certainly train in small areas just in case we ever find ourselves in these kind of situations.
My point to all this is this, firstly, it doesnt matter what you have round your waist, belt wise, its wheather you can do it for real that counts, and one really does not have time to think or plan in a real fight.
Secondly, and please just here me out on this, how many instructors who are teaching and never been in a real fight, how do they know what they are teaching really works in the street if they have never used any of there techniques for real? its an interesting question, im only saying this because ive been in classes etc when a student has asked the above to an instructor ,students trust the instructor but do you think that they are being mislead and taught under false pretences? What do others think about this?
Im far from proud of the fights ive been in but im glad they happened as most of the basic techniques, punches, blocks and blocks as strikes and some bunkai from katas, mainly the pinan/heian ive used for real and know they work so my students are rest assured that i only teach what works.
One thing i have learned and a code i live by is this:
1) Expect the unexpected
2) Never underestimate your opponent(s)
3) Always be ready
I hope this is of some interest and would just like to wish everyone a very merry christmas and a happy new year.
All the best

Farmers grew less corn in 2012 than expected
ST. LOUIS — After three disappointing corn crops in a row, good yields in 2013 will be essential to rebuilding inventories, according to the latest Farm Futures magazine survey.
The extent of that effort takes shape in coming weeks, beginning with USDA's Jan. 11 estimates of 2012 production. The Farm Futures survey showed growers raised 10.62 billion bushels of corn on harvested acreage of 87.5 million and nationwide yields of 121.3 bpa. USDA's November estimate put the crop at 10.725 billion bushels.
Results of the survey were released in January at the opening day of the annual Farm Futures Business Summit in St. Louis, attended by more than 400 producers.

Hang on a second while we grab that post for you.
I am a kite runner and the kites are my dreams.
I cannot stop enjoying the feeling of flying with my dreams.
Because life is just like the sky,so blue and fascinating.
I think I was born with the rebellious and exploring spirit. It is because of this particular way of thinking that I never stop for the existing things. I still remember that when I was in the third grade of the primary school, the science teacher always called me MR.QUESTION because I always asked him some strange questions. At one time the teacher even advised my parents to take me to see a doctor for he doubted that I was wrong in IQ.
At that time I was very stubborn and interesting. Owing to the rebellion and curiosity, I did not like being bound by the authorities. I desired to explore the world in my own way, and I would more believe the reality I saw by myself.
After grown up, I spend more of this motive force in changing things into better ones. When I was at the senior high school, I got acquainted with one of my tutors. Whenever I got a very novel and innovative idea, I called and communicated with him. I'm very grateful to him because he gives me the confidence and keeps my ideas coming forth till now.
Comparatively,I look more like a dreamer. I like thinking deep into the night because night can give me a lot of surprises and inspirations. Once at night I suddenly had an idea about the personalized network desktop. It could allow each person to build a network world of his own. I got so excited about the idea that I couldn't fall asleep for the whole night. Although I cannot realize this idea with the present ability of my own, I am determined to make it come true one day in the future. I really enjoy the process of chasing my dreams.

Musical & rhythmic exploration pairing a fiddler with landmark drummers and percussionists - documented through videos and recordings.
Fiddle/Sticks: The Drummer Project by Casey Driessen is a collaborative exploration of rhythm which pairs Casey – the leading voice in percussive fiddle/violin technique (AKA The Chop) – with a list of the landmark drummers and percussionists of our time. Cutting across all genres and traditions, the project documents these rhythmic explorations through recordings, videos, photos and journals. It serves as an inspirational and instructional resource for drummers, percussionists, fiddlers and everyone in the music community interested in pushing the boundaries of their instruments and their music.
One day last year, I was chatting with a friend about the future of a new percussive bowing technique on the fiddle - curiously named "the chop." That person just happened to be banjo innovator Béla Fleck, who knows a thing or two about pushing the boundaries of an instrument. From that discussion, the seed for Fiddle/Sticks was planted.
[Note: Fiddles and violins are the same physical instrument – the distinction is generally for genre, but it's not a rule. I like "fiddle" – but feel free to substitute "violin" in your head if you like.]
The chop is a relatively new idea, but it came from the father of bluegrass himself, Mr. Bill Monroe. In 1966, Monroe told his fiddler Richard Green that he needed to improve his rhythm. Monroe's advice was to imitate the trademark percussive thwack of his bluegrass mandolin "chop." Trace that technique farther backwards and you find the mandolin replicating the backbeat of popular music played by the snare drum – but in the drum-less musical setting of bluegrass. Through this lineage, on an instrument with centuries of musical history and established technical dogma, a brand new bowing technique is born within my lifetime. Paying homage to its mandolin source, this fiddle sound is dubbed "the chop."
I've immersed myself in chopping for over 20yrs and believe this is just the beginning. The chop has advanced well beyond its backbeat origin into harmonic and rhythmic complexity that intrigues and excites fiddlers across the globe. To other musicians, it's a fresh take and innovative sound not heard emanating from the fiddle family before. I am working hard to push this style to new heights and feel Fiddle/Sticks: The Drummer Project is a perfect pathway. This collaborative exploration of rhythm between myself and landmark drummers and percussionists will trek across all genres and traditions while documenting these meetings through audio recordings, videos, photos, and journals.
I have teamed up with writer, filmmaker and storyteller, Craig Havighurst (String Theory Media, Music City Roots), who will tell the story of these encounters while I concentrate on the music. We will take this project to the drummers — spending two days in their studios and practice spaces, playing music, writing music, exploring the rhythmic side of the fiddle and the melodic side of the drums, interviewing, and deepening our understanding of the musical arts. Successful funding of Fiddle/Sticks will go towards the following: musicians honorariums; travel, lodging, and food; video shooting, editing, and production; mobile audio recording gear such as a laptop, audio interfaces, microphones, mic stands, hard drives, etc; production, editing, and manufacturing of an audio CD; the donor perks; and fees required by Kickstarter.
The thought of this project becoming a reality makes my metronome race with excitement. I've never been satisfied exploring the fiddle just from the fiddler's point of view. Rather, I've discovered my creative turning points through other instruments and genres – adopting the 5-string fiddle over the conventional 4-string to play bebop alto saxophone lines by Charlie Parker; learning odd-meter time signatures from syllabic rhythm practices of classical Indian music; incorporating funk slap bass lines; mimicking rhythm of a glass shard filled tin can shaker from Madagascar; and, of course, my pivotal watershed moment, imitating the mandolin chop in a childhood bluegrass band lacking mandolin. I am continually searching for new thought processes, inspiration and challenges to push the limits of my musical voice, and I believe the unconventional pairing of fiddle with drums and percussion will do so in an awesomely unpredictable way.
Please help me take the fiddle (violin) chop to its roundabout drumming roots. My ultimate goal is to work with experts from jazz, rock, pop, funk, Motown, hip-hop, New Orleans, turntable, drum & bass, fusion, country, electronic, and world idioms. For my launch, I will focus on five drummers across varying specialties. Confirmed so far are Jamey Haddad (world percussionist for Paul Simon and Berklee College of Music Professor), Futureman (jazz fusion drumitar inventor for Béla Fleck & the Flecktones), and Kenny Malone (legendary Nashville country session drummer). I hope that Fiddle/Sticks will serve as an inspirational and instructional resource for drummers, percussionists, fiddlers and everyone in the music community interested in pushing the boundaries of their instruments and their music.
I sincerely thank you for your support.

This high tech self Illuminated Near Letter Card is the last number near card you need to buy, being ideal for testing near vision. It can also be used to emulate a computer screen at near. It is well protected in a rubberized sure grip frame, it will never yellow and the print will never wear off. It has an LED backlit display that standardizes illumination and eliminates reflections. There is no need to bring over a lamp for the patent to read the card. The card will always stay crisp, clean and clear.
The Illuminated Near Letter Card is a valuable diagnostic tool for eye care professionals. It is useful in testing near vision - emulating users' vision with reading materials, computer screens, smart phones, and many other devices as well as screening for abnormal eye conditions. In order to be accurate and useful, a near card needs to be clean, clear, and in pristine condition. Gulden's Illuminated Near Letter Cards offer advantages over traditional near cards, providing the eye care professional with long-life, advantageous diagnostic tools. Gulden Illuminated Near Cards are especially beneficial when testing patients with eye diseases affecting central vision such as macula degeneration as well as other conditions that result in low vision or moderate vision loss. Research at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (http://www.aao.org/newsroom/release/20121111b.cfm) indicates that illuminated screens help increase reading acuity compared to printed materials for people with vision loss.
The Illuminated Near Letter Card is useful in quickly ruling in or out maculopathy when a patient presents with vision loss, preventing time-consuming and costly testing. It is also valuable in predicting post-operative visual acuity in eyes with cataracts - helping the eye care professional determine what portion of vision loss is a result of a cataract versus due to maculopathy. The Illuminated Amsler Grid is useful in testing near vision and evaluating the macula in patients since one of the first signs of macular degeneration can be wavy, broken or distorted lines or a missing vision area, thus facilitating early detection of abnormal scotoma. The Illuminated Amsler Grid helps in preoperative evaluation of patients about to undergo keratoplasty or cataract extraction since corneal opacities or cataracts often preclude visualization of macular details whereas the Amsler Grid is useful in assessing macular function.
Testing with both the Illuminated Near Letter Card and the Illuminated Amsler Grid can be performed in less than a minute, is easy for both staff and patient, and is simple and quick enough to be used as a routine diagnostic screening tool for all eye exams.
The card is indexed with letters from 20/20 to 20/200 in nine increments with clearly identified indices that indicate the visual acuity level. Both devices are internally illuminated with a long-life LED source that standardizes illumination and eliminates reflections. The cards measure 7.8 x 5.6 x .4", with a 5.75 x 3.75" viewing area. Both are lightweight, provide a rubberized sure-grip frame, are powered by easily obtained standard AAA batteries or an AC power adapter, and are easy to clean and sanitize. The illuminated cards can be wall mounted, hand held, or used with a counter stand.
A mounting Rod Adapter Bracket is also available for all our Illuminated cards. Product # 15250

Good News Garage Founder Makes Celeb Mag
State of the Arts
The late Heath Ledger still dominates the cover of People, but on page 88 of the current issue, Burlington's Hal Colston is the star of the magazine's "Heroes Among Us" feature. He's tucked between an article on the formerly anorexic Miss America and a page of colorful gowns spotted at the SAG Awards. Tall, handsome and clad in casual navy shirt and slacks, the 54-year-old founder of Good News Garage does not look out of place among the hot celebs (I peg Morgan Freeman to play him if filmmakers come calling.)
But Colston, of course, has no Hollywood pretensions; he's too busy following his latest altruistic vision: NeighborKeepers, a life-mentoring program for community folks. People raves about his first enterprise, though, and for good reason. "About a thousand cars a year are donated [to Good News Garage]," says Carmen George, GNG's Burlington-based marketing and development manager. The autos are in turn rejuvenated and passed on to needy recipients for the purpose of getting to jobs — one necessary ingredient in getting off welfare. George assures that no one from the Burlington office nominated Colston. "He's helped so many people, it could be anybody," she says.

MONTREAL — Several hundred people representing community groups, teachers, social housing advocates and unions gathered in Phillips Square on Saturday to denounce the practices of Pauline Marois's Parti Québécois government.
Nominally there to protest against a proposed 5.8-per-cent hike in Hydro-Québec's residential rates scheduled to kick in April 2014, the gathering represented people from all over the province with a bone to pick with the governing party.
"Madam Marois has given us many reasons to despise her and despite all her promises in the last election, the PQ has cut social programs," said an outspoken Richard St-Pierre, who was among the crowd.
"The Parti Québécois always presents themselves as the party for social democracy but since they have come to power they have raised tuition, cut welfare, cut millions from daycare and Marois is on her knees in front of the mining industry," St-Pierre said.
"She promised to take away the health tax in her campaign and many other promises that have been broken."
Under the watchful gaze of a statue of Edward VII on a glorious autumn afternoon, the association of retired persons, students and socialists from UQAM, FRAPRU and innumerable community groups chanted slogans slamming the current government's austerity programs and the proposed hike in electricity tariffs despite profits made by Hydro-Québec.
"They say cut back and we say fight back," the crowd chanted.
"Couper les abris fiscaux et pas les programs sociaux (cut tax shelters, not social programs)."
"It's up to us to fight this government that has us by the throats," Miriam Leduc exhorted the crowd. "Madame Marois, we're not parasites and we refuse to pay more. Resistance begins today."
With that the crowd left Phillips Square and marched east along Ste-Catherine St. down to René Levesque Bvd. for a stop at the headquarters of Hydro Québec and finishing at Victoria Square.
"With all the broken promises, the government introduced the Charter of Values, a horrible means of stirring the pot with hatred and mistrust," St-Pierre said.
"I'm here and the other community groups are here to tell her we won't stand for this and we will remember this forever. What she has done is socially irresponsible and we will do everything we can to smash this government.
"The PQ has mounted a general attack against living and working conditions and no one here is blind to the fact that she's a liar," St. Pierre said of the premier.

Letters to the Editor
Read what our readers have to say about Maine.
Where in Maine?
My entire family reads your amazing magazine together with our three young children. Throughout the year it reminds us of our happy summer times up at "the cabin," as we lovingly call it, in Rangeley Plantation on Mooselookmeguntic Lake. The mystery photo in your July issue is one of our favorite landmark rest stops along the way. This beautiful exhibit of Native American culture is located along Route 2 in Rumford. This spot is a great historical reminder of what once was for the St. Francis Indians, also known as Western Abenaki, and how things have changed. We stopped here this past Memorial Day weekend, and the volume of water in the Androscoggin River cascading from Rumford Falls was spectacular to behold, after some large storms we were caught driving in caused many washouts along our trip. We decided it would be safer to keep the children in the car on that particular visit. Usually, we feel free to walk amongst these figures from the past. We also enjoy the large statue of Paul Bunyan located close by. We have several pictures of our little ones dwarfed at his gigantic feet. Our children have actually come to enjoy the paper mill "aroma," as they now recognize it to mean that we are close to the Native American exhibit and Paul Bunyan.

I would often judge the height of the river after a storm or snow melt by seeing how many "Indians" were missing as I came down Falls Hill in Rumford. If any were under water, I could count on a free windshield wash as I crossed the green bridge.

Up to Camp
While reading George Smith's "My Maine" essay in your July issue, I could smell, taste, feel, and long for my experience with a Maine camp. Our friends, who live in Sydney, have an old camp on Great Pond and have invited my husband and me to join them every summer when we are fortunate enough to come to Maine. The loons always wait for us. Thank you for giving me a little bit of Maine "camp" memories. Here in Oregon, we call them "cabins"!
—Danna Harnish
Bend, Oregon
Praise for Peavey
I LOVE Elizabeth Peavey's writing ("An Accidental Tourist," July 2011)! If she wrote the telephone book I'd read every line!

Pejepscot Memories
Jaed Coffin's, "Kingdom of the Useless" essay in your June issue sure brought back a lot of memories. The picture in the middle of the page I knew all too well as the former Pejepscot Paper Company's Bowdoin Mill in Topsham. Upon graduation from Lisbon High School in 1981, I took my first real job with the Pejepscot Paper Company and became a third-generation paperworker. My father had worked at the mill for over thirty years and my grandfather for over forty. Our time at Pejepscot was spent about four miles upriver from the Bowdoin Mill, at the company's paper mill in the Pejepscot Village section of Topsham. Here the paper was made and then shipped by company truck in what were called "cutter rolls" to the Bowdoin Mill to be cut into sheets of paper. The Bowdoin Mill closed for good in the mid 1980s and the paper mill up in Pejepscot Village in 1989. The job I thought I had for a lifetime had come to an end, but I will never forget the great times I had and the friendships I had formed in the eight years working for the Pejepscot Paper Company.

Chorale Correction
I know that I am among many in Lewiston-Auburn who were thrilled with the excellent section in your July issue highlighting the varied attractions of our Twin Cities. We have long known that we are an "axis for the arts," as you stated, and are so pleased to have this aspect demonstrated to the broader Maine community. As a founding member of the Maine Music Society and a singer since the inception of the Androscoggin Chorale in 1972, I do, however, have a small correction. The article states that, "The chorus started in the early seventies as a traveling ensemble, but it didn't quite catch on." In fact, we have always been based in Lewiston-Auburn, even though we have also performed in many surrounding communities. The organization has grown steadily from its early beginnings, has always attracted appreciative audiences, and has staged many ambitious large-scale performances. Recently we found a permanent home at the Franco-American Heritage Center. This is where we find our strongest audience base, and the facility is wonderful for performers and audience members alike.

Murderer to appeal conviction in 1984 slaying again
Written by Z. Daniel BarnettDefense attorney vows to take case to U.S. Supreme Court for a second time
NEW CONCORD, Ohio — A man convicted of killing a New Concord woman 29 years ago plans to appeal his case once again.
Last Wednesday, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals denied the appeal of 52-year-old John Stumpf, marking the fourth time his case has appeared before a federal court. Stumpf was convicted of murdering Mary Jane Stout of New Concord during a robbery in 1984. His conviction was vacated by the same court in 2004, but the Supreme Court reversed the decision in 2005, upholding Stumpf's conviction.
Defense attorney Alan Freedman said last week that he's disappointed with the appeals panel's decision, but that he would "ultimately...appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court" again.
Freedman first appealed his client's conviction after Stumpf's co-defendant, 52-year-old Clyde Daniel Wesley, was also convicted in Mary Jane Stout's murder.
Freemand said he will appeal to the Supreme Court within 90 days, and expects to defend his client before the nation's highest court within a year.

- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Conference highlights those with dementia, caregiving and research
By Angela Lunde
9 comments posted
In about 3 weeks, more than 1,000 people will gather in St. Paul for the 2013 Meeting of the Minds Dementia Conference. You're invited.
This premier conference is the result of hard work and dedication, driven by genuine passion on the part of the Minnesota-North Dakota Alzheimer's Association and Mayo Clinic staff and volunteers.
This year's conference will include some impressive experts in the research field including Dr. Eric Reiman of the Banner Alzheimer's Institute in Phoenix, and our own Dr. Ronald Petersen, Dr. Brad Boeve, and Glenn Smith, Ph.D, from the Mayo Clinic Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.
But this conference is not just about the hope of one day curing or preventing Alzheimer's, it's about improving the quality of life in the present. When Pat Summit, the winningest college basketball coach of all time who's now living with younger onset Alzheimer's, takes the stage she's sure to have a message of "living big."
It's my hope that this conference continues to shift our perceptions about dementia — affirming the personhood and dignity of those living with dementia and reducing the stigma that often isolates and dismisses.
Practical strategies, useful knowledge, resources and services to reaffirm that there's help will be shared with caregivers.
CaringSource is one example of that help — a new individualized service developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic and national experts in dementia. CaringSource is about positively influencing the health, well-being and quality of life for caregivers. If you're at the conference, I invite you to stop by the Mayo Clinic booth to learn more.
For me, however, the real megastars will be those living with the disease who courageously attend and unknowingly teach us all something. By learning how to engage fully in the presence of a person living with dementia you'll see their capacity for wisdom, insight and compassion.
By attending sessions where persons living with dementia are presenting or involved, you'll learn that dementia doesn't define them, it simply shapes the way they experience the world around them.
A day to learn. An experience to feel.
See you on March 2. Early bird registration ends February 7.
To register for the conference, go to the Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter page of the Alzheimer's Association website.

I'm certain he had the skills but..... he won not by winning but by finishing every race high enough.I haven't seen the race, so this is complete and total speculation, but it could also be that he was taught how to drive well, better than the other kids. The driver is more important than the car. This has been proven repeatedly.
when I say the boy is overstuffed I'm being nice, he's 15 and scaling around 250lb's riding around in a cart pushing 90hp at most.
ummmm..... the article was completely bogus, what more is their to discuss regarding a completely bogus article?Guys, let's please get back on topic.

Pours deep black with some ruby color on the edges when held up to light. 2 finger dark tan head, color looks like a light milk chocolate.
Smells roasty and smooth vanilla, not much dark fruit, but some hops and alcohol
Taste is really mellow dark molasses like with some hints of vanilla and just a tad of coffee. Alcohol burn is there but pleasantly so, not overbearing one bit. Limited hops are just enough to roughin the edge of the malts on this one.
Very smooth and thick and one the lower side of carbonation. Very well done.
Really like this big stout, from a can nonetheless. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. Haven't really taken to BBA stouts yet, so this is my go to stout. Beats old raspy which I had for the first time last night because its smoother and more mellowed out to me.

Black with a brown head.
Dark malt, little bit of sweet fruit/licorice probably due to the alcohol.
Dark chocolate in the way of 80% cacoa, has that robust, rich flavor. Sweetness can be lent to the ABV, sweet and hot. I did a vertical and preferred the 2 year old. Has oak/wood edges. Hot, as strong as they come particularly when fresh.
Dense, smooth, full bodied stout that's light on carbonation.

A - Immediately thought of dirty motor oil when I poured out the can into the snifter. It had the color, texture, and silky smooth pour. Barely generated a 1/2 finger of head with an extremely aggressive pour. Minimal lacing. Sticky residue when swirled.
S - Toasted, roasted malt. Some sweet toffee.
T - Surprisingly clean. There's so many specialty stouts it was nice this one lets the malt come through. Very slight alcohol burn as an aftertaste, but only because I was looking for it.
M - Thick body that goes down smooth, warms the mouth. No apparent carbonation on the tongue.
O - I've been wondering what all the hype was on this beer. Now I understand. Yes $4.25 a can is a bit high, but it is money well spent. I would definitely seek this out again.

Milk chocolate brown colored head. Black body. Not much head and it quickly disappeared
Dark cherries, vanilla, a little dark chocolate on the nose.
The taste is very similar to the smell. A slightly smokey vanilla lingers on your tongue. The alcohol is barely noticeable.
The carbonation is very nice & cuts through the rich, bittersweet body.
Overall 4.25

I was in Boulder at the Liquor Mart back in "07" and Oskar Blues was there doing a beer tasting. They said to me "would you like to try some local craft beer"? I said "no thanks, I don't like canned beer". Their response was "These cans are made by Ball Areospace and have a polymer liner. Light and oxygen are harmful to beer, and you can take it with you when camping"! I was impressed so I had a taste. I did not think I liked stout until I tried Ten FIDY.

Poured from a 12oz can into a Guinness glass
A- Pours black as black can be, I think it's actually sucking in the light around it as well. With an aggressive pour there is a medium/high head that is the brownest one I've ever seen. Head dissipates slowly into nothing. This thing looks think like oil or molasses.
S- Alcohol, bitter chocolate, molasses.
T- Similar to nose with some added metallic notes and lots of acidic roasted notes.
M- Very thick and clings to your mouth
O- Man this thing is good. Possibly my new favorite Imperial stout, sorry Old Raspy and Expo, will have to drink the other 3 to know for sure. Took forever to get this stuff in my area and finally got it. While this is one of the more expensive non-BA stouts out there, it is quite worth it and I prefer it to some of the BA stouts I've had.

S) Bacon (smoke), coffee, dark chocolate, roasted barley, licorice
T) Dark chocolate, strong on coffee, smoke aftertaste, soy sauce too

O) Yeah it's very good, but I think Founder's RIS is better especially for the price for four cans.

Poured out of the can into a stout glass.
A - Most vicious beer I have had. Pours out like Motor Oil with a dark khaki quarter inch to half inch head that has solid lacing.
S - Smells of chocolate, carmel, darker fruits with some minor hints of licorice. Always strong on the coffee.
T - Taste is much of the same with roasted coffee, chocolate, some hops. Smokey indeed. Some booze at the end.
M - Very thick, full bodied, moderate carbonation.

Appearance: Most viscous pour I've ever seen. Pitch black with ruby hues near surface. Gorgeous 1/2 finger head that looks like creamy chocolate milk. Dissipates pretty quickly into a nice ring. Pretty good lacing.
Smell: Chocolate, caramel, dark fruits and licorice. Definite alcohol prescene that accentuates sweetness.
Taste: Milk chocolate, caramel, toffee and nice subtle roastiness up front. Midway, the alcohol becomes slightly evident, but immediately seems to morph into licorice and accents of dark sweet fruit that mixes nicely with the flavors up front. Finish is accentuated by moderate booze, which is smoothed out by chocolate milk and malty dark fruits. Aftertaste is faint licorice.
Mouthfeel: Thick and creamy with nice carbonation. Dry finish.
Overall: This beer is an experience. Incredibly complex and balanced. No doubt the best Stout I've ever had. Now, I'm going to age a couple over the next few years to see what happens. This one will be a regular for me.

10-10-2012 vintage. 12-oz can poured to tulip. Consumed 11-3-2013.
Thick and viscous. [Cue "this pours like motor oil."] Opaque black; large, frothy, 2-finger tan head. Decent alcohol legs coating the glass. Almost no lacing once the head recedes.
Ashy, roasted coffee; grassy hops; alcohol; very little dark chocolate aroma at first, growing with time though. I find the aroma on FIS to be more pleasant
Taste reminiscent of very high cacao dark chocolate. Alcohol noticeable.
Well-carbonated. Medium mouthfeel.
Typical for the style, but I was hoping for more with one year of age on it

A - pours out pitch black with a thin tan head.
S - coffee and caramel
T - deep and smokey, coffee and caramel as well a tang of cherry towards the end. The huge abv is not nearly as present as I'd imagine, but you'll definitely feel it after a can.
M - this is a beer you can chew. While it's thick it still washes away clean. Low smooth carbonation keep the beer creamy.
O - I first had this over summer and it was great, but I couldn't drink it in warm weather. Now that the temps are dropping in NH I'll be drinking this regularly.

Can to goblet.
A. Almost jet black. Poured finger light tan head that retreats to a fine bubble rim and blotchy film. Highly viscous.
S. Chocolate and caramel malts. A roasted fragrance. Bitter cocoa. Woody and dusty.
T. Dark roasted malts, bitter chocolate, coffee, liquorice, vanilla, and some bitterness from the hops. A little booze on the end.
M. Full bodied, moderate carbonation, and oily. The feel is not as thick as the appearance likely from the high abv.
O. A really good stout, but not great. Very consistent across the metrics. The price is high but I would likely buy again given the right circumstances. I certainly recommend this ale to anyone.

Poured from the can into a stein
A- Beautiful pitch black. No light is getting through this beast. Thin brown head receded quickly. Not much lacing sticks, but it looks beautiful when taking a sip.
S- Mostly coffee, maybe a smidge of dark chocolate. Something is just a little sweet in the nose. Surprisingly, I can't smell the 10.5%.
T- More of the nose. Lots of coffee, some black chocolate, and some malty sweetness. Lots of chocolate and coffee sort of bitterness. You can taste the alcohol for just a split second before the bitterness kicks in.
MF- Very little carbonation. Sort of creamy, thick mouthfeel. A small, sharp bitterness stays in the back of the throat long after the sip was swallowed. Alcohol burn happens very slightly for just a nano second in the back of the throat.
Overall, this is the most drinkable 10.5% RIS I've ever had. This is pretty good, and I would definitely like to have another on a cold winter night.

A - pours dark black with a little less viscosity than I was expecting. Beautiful roasty brown head turns soapy quite quickly (was expecting it to be creamier)
S - milk chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, licorice. Honestly getting some heavy apple cider-like notes.
T - Absolutely delicious. Starts with a bright, sweet, dark fruit flavor that fades into the roastier flavors. A nice lasting roasty bitterness on the finish. Super balanced between sweet and dry. Multi-dimensional flavors keep it interesting.
M - Creamier than the appearance led to expect. like silk on the tongue and actually quite oily.
O - Was reluctant to buy due to the high price tag but after hearing so many good things about it I had to try it and I'm glad I did. Not necessarily something I would purchase again with so many equally good RIS options, but definitely worth a try.

12oz can, procured in Denver a few weeks ago, thanks to the Beer Diaries' Mr. Mike for the sample! "Show me yo fidy's" - heh. Combined with the 'Cancupiscent' (lustful, essentially) mention just under the rim, I'm surprised that this doesn't get some sort of mature rating from the guv'mt overseers. Oh, right, this is an adult beverage.
This beer pours a solid, light-destroying black abyss, with very, very subtle basal cola highlights, and four fingers (had to prematurely stop pouring before it got any higher) of dense, thickly foamy chocolate milk brown head, which leaves a perfect band of drooping webbed lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs out of sight.
It smells of chalky bittersweet cocoa, mildly roasted caramel malt, toffee pudding, acrid black orchard fruit, vanilla extract, a mild woody graininess, charred ash, and a simmering edgy booziness. The taste is again quite enamoured with the dark milk chocolate, all creamy and chunky, with a caramel malt strength that would be notable in damned near any other beer, some seemingly (mistaken, I gather) wood-borne vanilla, underripe fleshy plums and cherries, a twinge of watery espresso, and a now fully obfuscated alcohol warmth (I know its there, but have a devil of a time picking it out.)
The bubbles are fairly subdued, but not exactly inert - they know they've got some background work to put in, the body a stoic medium-heavy weight, thick, robust, and full in its creamy smoothness. It finishes astonishingly on the near-dry side, the lulling smoke, and well, maybe some under the radar hops taking the still prominent chocolate, caramel, fruit, and booze headliners to task.
One crazily drinkable (maybe it's just the can, vs. a bomber), and enjoyable RIS. The chocolate and more standard malt interplay is civil and agreeable, benefiting all. And the alcohol, how about that - 21-proof, and barely a tic. All in all, one of the best, and certainly most balanced versions of the style that I have yet to encounter.

I picked up a can of Oskar Blues Ten FIDY last month for $3.79 at The Lager Mill. I've been wanting to try this beer for a long time and it was the beer that I wanted to try the most after I heard that Oskar Blues was coming to Michigan, I hope it doesn't disappoint so lets see how it goes. Canned on 9/16/2013. Poured from a 12oz can into a snifter.
A- The can looks good, it's got a nice clean look to it and while it may not be the most eye catching it does have some funny stuff written on the can. It poured a dark motor oil black color that didn't let any light come through and it had two and a half fingers worth of creamy dark mocha colored head that died down to a thick ring that stayed till the end and it left lots of nice thick rings of lacing behind. This is a very good looking RIS, I have no complaints at all.
S- The aroma starts off with a lower amount of high sweetness followed by lots of sweet and dark roasted malts that impart a very roasty, slightly charred, dark chocolate, and vanilla aromas that come together to make an aroma that reminds me of chocolate ice cream. Up next I get a lighter boozy aroma with some nice coffee aromas coming through. The aroma was very nice and it was full of great roasted malt aromas.
T- The taste seems to be pretty similar to the aroma and it starts off with a slightly higher amount of medium sweetness followed by loads of dark roasted malts that impart a sweet malt, roasted, slightly charred, and very chocolate like flavors with a little bit of coffee and vanilla showing up in the background. Up next comes a lighter alcohol flavor that's a little warming with very light dark fruit and slight toffee flavor. On the finish there's a fairly lower amount of bitterness with a very roasty and chocolate like aftertaste. This is a very nice tasting RIS, it was very true to style and it didn't seem to have any weak points.
M- Pretty smooth. clean, rich, creamy, slightly sticky, on the lighter side of being full bodied with a slightly lower amount of medium carbonation. I thought the mouthfeel was very good and it worked very well with this beer.
Overall I thought this was a pretty good beer and a very good example of the style, it was pretty spot on for the style with none of the aspects seeming out of place and there was some really nice balance and just enough complexity. This beer had great drinkability, it was very smooth for the style, clean, creamy, a little filling and the taste did a great job at holding my attention, this might be one of the most drinkable RIS's I've had, I could get in some trouble with this beer since I don't think it would be pretty easy for me to drink a few of these. What I liked the most about this beer was the mouthfeel, it may be the best mouthfeel I have encountered in an RIS and it has everything that I would want in the style. What I liked the least about this beer was nothing, there isn't anything that I disliked or would change. I would for sure buy this beer again, I will be picking up some more next time I go to the store so I can throw some in the cellar and see how it develops over time, it's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it. I would for sure recommend this to anyone who likes the style, this is a pretty great example of an RIS. All in all i was very happy with this beer and I think it's safe to say it lived up to my expectations. I still think Founders Imperial Stout is my favorite RIS, but I think this one is close to be as good and I would say it's up there as one of the better RIS's I have had. Great job guys, I really enjoyed this beer and this is another beer that I will anticipate the release of, keep up the good work guys. This is now my favorite Oskar Blues beer.

Friend, _n:_
A person who gives you their last 100pt beer in the fridge.
Thanks, Jimi! Ten Fidy is so unbelievably smooth.
When I poured it into the glass, my first thought reminded me of changing the car oil after waiting too many miles ... it poured so thick and black ... like bad oil. I now understand why this is $15/4pk and it's worth the money. wow, what an exceptionally smooth beer. I have just been ruined for wanted to try _anything_ other imperial stout.
Standing in front of the poured glass on the counter, I could clearly smell the strong aromas. It's just so wonderful. Rich. Heavy. Chocolate. Dark chocolate. Roasted. Mature. Thorough. Molasses. Thick. Rest well on palette. Aftertaste lingers. Worth every single penny.

Can to a snifter, canned 8/29/13
Pours pitch black with a finger and a half of dark mocha foam, moderate carbonation on the sides. Good retention and lacing, great looking beer
Smells of roast coffee, dark chocolate, caramel, and alcohol. Really good but not too complex, might be my stuffy nose
Taste is with the nose, dark espresso, dark chocolate, roast caramel malts, a little hoppy citrus, and a touch of alcohol on the finish. Really good even at two months old, everything comes together really well
Feel is smooth and creamy, thick, milky, and full. Alcohol concealed really well despite it's age, goes down dangerously easy
Overall one of the better RIS I've had. Three more cans sitting in my cellar, this should really be something in a year or two

Amongst the biggest and grandest of appearances, this stout is thick and viscous. Black beyond comprehension the head slowly built in a row of foam then slowly disappated to a thin line. The foam was deep brown it held a ton of lacing.
Deep coffee aroma mixed with a bit of char, then chocolate, caramel and marshmallow hit the nose. Some light malt aroma, roasted of course, can be found near the end.
The flavors in this stout are so robust, so rich, that as cliche as it is I can't believe it comes from a can. The roasted coffee is strong at the front and then rails into a chocolate, Graham cracker and marshmallow finish. I actually catch a roasted caramel malt in there, though it is tempered and lost in all of the other richness.
The feel is silky smooth with a real thickness. 10.5 ABV is only noticeable in a heat that enters the chest. The carbonation is low and it lends to an easy drinkability.
I know it has been said before and there's a lot of hype but this really is something special, and it's in a can!

A: Almost onyx. Thick and syrupy. Abundant head that dissipates into fantastic lacing. A pretty beer!
S: Even though I'm drinking this from a snifter I'm not overwhelmed by the smell. That being said it is still a pleasant aroma of molasses and chicory.
T: Up front, chocolate coffee and light smokiness. On the finish dark fruit but not sweet. Awesome!!
M: Sticky! Sticks to the inside of your mouth like it does to the side of your glass. Wow!
O: this is what I want in a stout. As winter approaches and I switch to stouts porters and barley wines this beer does not disappoint. To me it lives up to the hype.

A- it's like a black hole in there. No light gets through the blackness of this beer. A strong pour produces a huge foamy head with good retention. It starts a deep mocha and then fades out into a lighter cappuccino after settling. Then it leaves lacing throughout.
S- deep roasted malt with some light notes of dark chocolate
T- big burnt flavors are strong throughout the beer. Not much subtle about this one.
M-slightly oily and the big roasted flavors and high ABV leave a slight tingle on the palette.
O- really easy drinking for how big this beer is. A great Imperial Stout.

Consistent. Across all my fave reviewers, this is one excellent RIS. A great style from a great brewer.
Gotta sip and let this one warm as it only gets better.
A Everyone agrees: Darkest, baddest, thickest, stickiest. - True to my experience. Want a Stout experience in your glass with sticky windows of lace and a permanent brown cap - this is it!
S Its aroma is not over whelming, it's powerful chocolate/ roasted coffee / dessert like. A good night beer. Some malt and vanilla. Some church and some high altitude melting snow, like 14,000 feet or higher.
T Wine like, massive. Like a large cabernet. The flavor is huge and dry, following the smell: Chocolate, coffee, malts, vanilla. Weight and alcohol with a nice see saw of sweet first and then bitter, with bitter winning the day in a dry, licorice lingering finish. Great place to leave your mouth.
M Most full bodied. Creamy, heavy, tickley. Fine finale.
D A sipper. A meditation beer. Perhaps the best RIS - up there ABOVE BORIS and Weyerbacher. Worth it. Try it. Must have.

Big dark chocolate, brown sugar and alcohol on the nose. Pours black as spent motor oil with a creamy, dark brown head. More dark chocolate and brown sugar on the front of the tongue. Extremely thick, coating mouthfeel. Long-pulled espresso bitterness gives way to slightly overwhelming alcohol on the back end. Nice warming effect, but a touch too booze-forward for my taste.

Instead of inventing a new verbal or visual vocabulary, I like the signing idea much better. Judge writes down the result (eg "12.34", "12.34+2" or "DNF") and competitor agrees by signing and disagrees by not doing so.

Not diamonds but decorations! And not just Christmas but other holidays/seasons as well. This morning as I was tidying in the dining room I looked at my big blue and white bowl full of pumpkins and leaves and thought -- sigh, this weekend it will go in the trash! But then I thought that when you use real things that you don't have the storage needs that you do when you use faux -- you have got to store that faux somewhere! Which brought me back to when I was a child -- and our Christmas was on a shelf in a closet -- and then in the sideboard my mother had some holiday ceramics (Christmas, Thanksgiving). I've not always been "real" -- for I've had faux and had bins in the basement but over time I've gotten rid of them. This weekend, when fall/Thanksgiving is "put away" -- it will be into a trash bag (or two) and out to the trash rather than hauling empty bins up from the basement and full bins back down. It surely saves a lot of hauling! LOL!! Martha | |||
So true! In an ideal world I would prefer real over faux in almost everything. However the reality is that I am sensitive to molds which are on a lot of real organics found in the woods. So for over 40 years I've had faux Christmas trees, faux garlands, and faux cedar and pine, etc. Makes for a lot of storage but a healthier environment for me. I really dislike resin objects altho do have some. Much prefer wood, ceramic, metal, etc. Not sure what it is about resin that I find objectionable. This is the year I attempt to edit my Christmas stuff. Haven't used a lot of it for a few years anyhow but it's difficult to decide what to keep and what to let go. No one really *needs* a large closetful of decorations. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
As a child we had a live Cedar cut from my late Dad's parents' farm. Also running cedar and real mistletoe. For years, couldn't figure out why I was sick after Christmas----the tree and greenery. I love the look and fragrance of real too. With family with asthma, the real had to go. Really need to edit our decorations too. Don't use all of them anymore. Would love to get a smaller tree this year. Our old tree is so large around the lower portion that it takes up precious room. Also, limbs so low can't put gifts under it. Too tall to raise it any. To me it is being with family during the season that matters the most, not wheter real or faux.This message has been edited.

and age is factor, too, lol...with us it's a simple 4 ft'er on the desk in the lr, over the large faux or real... do have one of those charlie brown stories, though...we were barely making ends meet, 4 kids, and that aweful, we can't afford a christmas tree! was driving thu the store parking lot, and low and behold trees for buck! we ended up with a pretty (although dry and needles dropping) tree! needless to say it only lasted a couple of days but christmas was saved! later, we did find a faux tree that lasted us for years..never wanted to be in that situation again..at least it was green and NOT alum! | ||||
I can't tolerate real evergreen in the house, so faux it is for me. I agree that it's a pain to store, but that's better than sneezing and sniffling throughout the holiday. | ||||
The faux greenery and trees are so much more realistic looking than in years past- sometimes its hard to tell. | ||||
I always, always prefer real. That said I am using some cute faux leaves on my Thanksgiving table this year. They are over sized and colorful, and kind of fun and funky. And I have a faux flower arrangement in one bathroom that I just love. No hard and fast rules about it for me. But there is something graceful and simple and beautiful about the real thing that just can't be duplicated. | ||||
It just depends. For fall, I saw an idea where they had wrapped artificial fall leaf vines in through an outdoor evergreen bush. Bought vines when on clearance this fall, and am looking forward to using it next fall. Window boxes are always silks. We go away for extended times during the summer, and we'd have to hire someone to water them. No thanks. In the house, it's a mix. My preference is real, but reality sets in very quickly. | ||||
Tho I too prefer real vs. faux, it's often impractical, short lived and not frugal. I prefer a mix of faux and real. Mixing the two fools the eye. There is also less waste and less room needed for storage. For example, I made a Fall buffet top arrangement the other day for a good friend who is hosting a post Thanksgiving wine tasting dinner party. It was fashioned without marbles or floral foam because it was done inside a gorgeous crystal rose bowl...a family heirloom. I had a bunch of red and a bunch of green faux grapes spilling down one side. The flowers were quality silk and some dried pods. I instructed my friend to buy 2-3 Bosch pears to display in a smaller crystal bowl beside the arrangement. Unless the grapes were handled, they could convincingly pass for real.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Froo Froo, | ||||

This year for the outdoor fall decor I had a combination of faux and real pumpkins. the faux ones were purchased last year and the year before. some of the faux ones are starting to peel, so will have to be discarded. As for greenery for Christmas garlands and wreath's use faux. We live in a dry, warm climate, so real doesn't last very long at all. But always get a real tree. | ||||
Mostly real but a combo of some faux. I use fresh garland outside and we always have a real tree. I do have fake garland that I use on my mantle because our wood fireplace dries out fresh garland and then I worry it's a fire hazard! For fall, we get real pumpkins but I do have one fake light up pumpkin that goes on automatically every night that's surrounded by real pumpkins. We carve a real pumpkin but only put a lit candle (tea light for safety) in it on Halloween. I've become fire phobic after we had a major fire a few years ago in our neighborhood that destroyed three homes on a blustery night before Christmas and a fatal fire this summer a block away when we lost power due to the Derecho storm. Caused some anxiety with my kids so we are extremely careful now (and dH's house burned down when he was in high school tho that was due to faulty wiring in a garage fridge). Sorry, going off on a tangent but please be careful with candles and fires this winter! | ||||
No allergies or asthma here so when a tree is put up, it's a real tree. Most other decorating items are faux, knick-knacks, etc. Regardless of whether it's real or faux...you're still toting. Either up and down the basement/attic stairs - to the closet - or from the store to the house then to the trash. I will concede that you have to be more particular packing the faux things away, but the totin' is still the same.

As I said above, I used some faux on my Thanksgiving tablet his year, and I came back to show how it turned out. I found these leaves on clearance at Rite Aid for .75 for a pack of twelve, so I couldn't pass up that bargain! I tied leaves around some large glass containers that I purchased for one of my daughters wedding several years ago. I made 5 containers to go down the table, and then put small votives along between them. (I line up a few tables end to end to accommodate 30 people, so this is just a part of the table) Sometimes faux is really fun!This message has been edited. Last edited by: cocok, | ||||
A close up. | ||||
I once wanted to decorate my apartment with cream-color poinsettias... They were expensive then so I bought three and then 'enhanced' with faux ones; I liked the results. | ||||
If money were no object.....real, real, real. That being said, some decorations just have to be used and reused. I do use more real pumpkins than fake, but sometimes a fake is actually cuter than the real. www.alwaysnesting.blogspot.com | ||||

Trina Vargo President of the US-Ireland Alliance |
I believe WoundedKnee was referring to the preferences of the CURRENT Irish emigrants, not those that came before, giving rise to the referenced 40 million.
Wounded knee , if the Irish prefer to go to Canada or Australia,rather then America, how is it that there are over 40 million in the US with Irish blood? Did they make a wrong turn on their way to Australia?
I can't beieve this Vargas is still involved in any way with Irish or Irish-American affairs. How does she feel about illegal immigrants from the many other countries in the world? I would really like to know her opinion on that subject since amnesty seems to be coming for them. She is clearly not qualified to be where she is. I see the bunny who live by the bog side is on Varga's defense again. What country is your big side in Miss Bunny?
Donnelly: I find Vargo quite irritating but I think you are kind of hard on her. If you read elsewhere on this site (thread about 40.000 emigrating) you'll come across Irish posters who are saying exactly what Vargo is saying--that the Irish prefer to go to Canada or Australia rather than US. And her point about the EU is also valid. The EU represents a labor market of 400 million, give or take. How come the Irish can't find jobs in that market? Why do they have to look outside? And--something that Vargo doesn't mention, it seems to be the third rail of all these discussions--how come the Irish are leaving while foreign migrants flock into the country, many of them finding work within weeks of arrival?
@bogside - Are you a masochist? Why do you read and comment on every article on the site if you think the Irish are Gombeens?...Unless you're George Dillon. Are you?
Finally, I read about someone who has copped on to the Gombeenment and scammers in Ireland. Congrats Ms. Vargo. You have my full support in exposing the green isle parasites.
