Oakey Doakey sends chutney to India!
Published by Anonymous for Two Rivers Housing in Health and also in Communities, Environment, Housing
The Oakey Doakey Team
In just their first week in business selling home made jams and biscuits, a group of homeless Forest youngsters has sent lemon curd and hot crab apple jelly to India.
The order came in when Gloucester resident Abduk Muktadir visited the Forest Food Fayre and tasted the products.
"I was blown away by the quality. I thought my family and friends back in India would love this so I put in and order and the Oakey Doakey team have sorted it all out for me, flying it out fresh from their kitchen. It should make a taste sensation with the spicy menu the folks at home enjoy," he said.
The Forest Food Fayre at Speech House at the heart of the Forest of Dean was the Oakey Doakey bunch's first real commercial outing, but they scored a massive success selling over £350 worth of products and winning the show's top award for best display.
It has been a roller coaster week for the youngsters, all of whom are busy rebuilding their lives after troubled years on the streets.
The Oakey Doakey crew found themselves in the media spotlight a few weeks ago when they got a massive vote of confidence from Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant.
The visit was organised by Two Rivers Housing Association which, had already won £35,000 of Euro cash and Lottery funding for the youngsters to set up their business.
Nathan Fowler, 22, said the whole experience had been an unbelievable booster.
"We have all been homeless and hopeless. We have so much to offer but people would cross the street rather than offer us a helping hand. But Two Rivers and Rooftop Housing Associations believed in us and gave us hope and self-confidence. It's now up to us to make the business work. Thank you to everyone who has put their faith in us. We won't let you down," he said.
The crew all live at Acorn House in Cinderford where they are cooking up a host of cakes, sauces and jams using ingredients grown or foraged locally.
"You can taste the energy and enthusiasm the team put into these products. They are pure products from the Forest with love at the heart," said Two Rivers community fundraiser Jane Cordier.

-- he couldn't get more toxic along comes congressman Eric Cantor -- is -- actually improve with the right efforts.
The majority leader with a job Billy says the president is also supporting lots of other Democrats are applauding and today the house overwhelmingly passing it.
The Virginia Republican congress and joining me right now leader -- news.
You know good to be on bond it is it just -- and I guess the next stop is that -- -- -- but you might not be able to get -- to stop -- right Lou it would you know -- -- stance.
Well you know we're we're hopeful -- that the leader in the senate Harry Reid well.
Take the president's admonition and said this is a good bill go ahead and pass and get into the president's desk as quickly as possible.
Because what the bill does plain and simple is it reduces -- red tape that's -- strangling small businesses.
And getting in the way of small business start -- and allows these small businesses more access to capital.
So they can -- so they can retaining great more jobs.
Very simply put it allowed us to set aside differences today in the house to come together as Republicans and Democrats as Americans.
To do what we need to do to jumpstart the economy by given a shot in the arm the small business.
I don't wanna be dated may because of what you guys -- and I know you tried to be very different leader and I commend you for that.
But I almost saying that the president did say he's going along -- this but -- Harry Reid doesn't.
Then it's all posture -- Well you know I hope I hope it's -- of that assessment doesn't turn out to be true this time because.
You know we've certainly seen last year.
They divide in this town on display and I think we all know that reasonable people can disagree.
But what we're trying to do right now is take advantage of a window of opportunity.
To say we can get together on things that we have in common and that should be growth growth in jobs in the private sector.
That's what the jobs -- was about today.
And again -- vote was overwhelming we had 309.
158 Democrats joining all Republicans.
I think this is a recipe for success and something that begins to get -- down the road towards more growth in the economy.
Upon the congress and as you know that the senate.
Did not.
Support this this push it it's had to get the keystone.
Issue moving forward that was a -- by senator -- -- To take the president out of the mix not so much to allow drilling but taken out of this today the senate implored Democrats not.
To go along -- this but eleven of them dead.
On my didn't pick apart -- -- for election this year but obviously when you bolt from your own party.
And your party's leader -- the president -- states.
On -- worried should Democrats be worried.
About this right now it was only four votes shy of getting through 56.
Approved this measure just didn't hit the magic sixty but what do you make and a.
-- gas prices are too high it's acting as a tax on.
Americans every time they go to the pump and when people are struggling -- tough economy worrying about make into the end of the month.
It matters and -- this administration has proven again and again.
That -- -- hostile.
To fossil fuels and any reasonable individual is gonna say that our economy is going to be fossil fuel based for the foreseeable future.
We can do so in effect that in a positive responsible manner but this administration has made it known that it doesn't see a future on fossil fuels.
And that's what's at issue here and the president if if he were -- sit in trying to quell the concerns.
Allay the fears could join us.
And making sure that we take advantages of all the indigenous resources we have here because frankly in America we can go about extract -- resources.
In the most responsible way of anyone in the world.
I'm -- imported from some of the other house and and senate Republican leaders by.
May be going down -- land and and and backing Mitt Romney for president.
Why is that -- are you pretty much it among the big -- Ha ha Obama in that category or not but I'll tell you this -- Mitt Romney is the only candidate in the race.
On our side as well as the president who has put forward a pro growth.
Plan -- get this economy back on track a bold plan that reduces tax rates for everyone pay an income taxes.
Then it prescribes.
The solution to get rid of the red tape to get out of the ways of the private sector can come roaring back.
Mitt Romney is -- only one who's got a history of job creation in the -- so it seems to me right now with the primary concern being the economy.
Mitt Romney is the man for the job and.
Not Smart guy stumbles over his own words amended it to the cadillacs -- I know what he means by these things I know what he means by.
Being -- down a NASCAR race and saying as friends are NASCAR owner results.
But it just snakes and appeared to a lot of folks as a -- just an added touch what do you say that.
Well -- -- another campaign liked his girl laying -- and -- he's been at this for some time but I would say if you look at the record if you look at his plan.
He is the only man that I think should be leading this country at a time that we most need.
I'm -- a leader that's committed to free market principles to get small businesses back into the game.
And as we just discussed we are very focused on that in congress right now rallying.
Both Republicans and Democrats around and a and agenda for small business job growth.
Mitt Romney has a record of doing that.
And I believe that the more the American people look at his plan the more they'll get excited about the fact that he can be our next president actually yeah.
-- don't really what Newt Gingrich is that it is totally unelectable too moderate for words not really conservative.
Moderates tend to not be successful Republican candidates he's gonna go down -- -- Well I think he's a results driven conservative and I think -- record shows that don't connect.
Bomb scares on the Eric and I and yet when you talked a lot of people.
You call me Bret that's okay next -- -- talk biennial ansari.
I didn't know you talk to -- as -- call in -- it will drive him nuts a guy that has a big electric price ability.
No on public it was great talking to -- thank you very much majority leader.
-- thank you Eric Cantor.

We all know that exercise and fitness are key components to healthy living. Now new research is adding further proof that it will increase your quality of life.
The study, published in this week's Archive of Internal Medicine, finds that being fit in the middle of your life not only delays the onset of chronic diseases later in life, but also shortens the duration of disease.
"We've known for years that exercise is good for you, but what's not been clear is to what extent the health benefits persist across a lifespan," said study author Dr. Jarrett Berry, associate professor of medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
Berry and his co-authors surveyed 18,670 patients, from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study, one of the largest patient databases in the world looking at fitness indicators. The Cooper Center began collecting patient information in 1970, and now has more than 100,000 patients enrolled in its database.
The study selected patients who were 65 years or older as of Jan. 1, 1999, and measured their fitness level by having them walk on a treadmill. The patients were then organized by sex, age, and divided into five different fitness levels ranging from very low to very high.
For the next 25 years, study authors followed up on their fitness levels and recorded any chronic disease.
"It's not just heart disease and just cancer -- it's all kinds of chronic diseases, " said Berry.
Patients' Medicare records were assessed for the following conditions: Congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer's, and colon or lung cancer.
When looking at men, the incidences of chronic disease was reduced by 45 percent between the group with the highest fitness levels, and those with the lowest. For women, the difference between the two groups was 43 percent.
Not only were people with higher fitness levels less likely to have chronic diseases, but they were also able to delay the disease and minimize how long they had it.
During the course of the study, 2,406 patients died. Out of the 711 people in the fittest group, only 9.5 percent of them had four or more chronic diseases in the last five years of their life. That percentage almost doubled to 18.3 percent when looking at the least fit group.
In other words, Berry explained, "Individuals who had high fitness spent less of the last five years with chronic disease."
Dr. Diane Beld, who is not associated with the study, said, "This study seems to support, that through fitness people might delay morbidity -- may not just live longer, but live longer with less chronic disease."
Beld, who is the associate director for the Prevention and Population Sciences Program at National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, wrote a commentary on the study and warned that the patients from the CCLS may not be the most representative of the country, as 98 percent of them were white and well-educated.
"More data in other population groups, would be good," said Beld. "That would help for better reflection of the general population."
She also warned that fitness wasn't just a matter of exercise but also genetics.
Despite these limitations, though, Beld emphasized that none of the considerations should take away from the importance of this study.
"This is just another piece of evidence that being physically fit, is good at preventing chronic disease," said Beld.

Just for Chuckles..
This came in my email today!! I thought it was too funny not to share....
Weekend has been good so far. I'm back to working on my pineapple blocks. I know it's not much of an update, it's the same pictures as last time.
But it feels good to have the TV on and me piecing away, not making much of a dent in the small scraps even if each pineapple block takes 45 pieces fer cryin out loud!!
I've got a party to go to in just a bit. My personal trainer has turned 50! It's an all girls party, all of her clients are getting together to throw her this bash. I'm taking a broccoli salad and a beverage....there will be BBQ and pool games, no boys allowed! (and that is why this pic goes so well with this post!)
Have a great weekend!

A number of years ago I was given a similar book at a farm show. The sales rep gave it to me and I started laughing. My husband said I don't get it, so I laughed harder. Another couple came up (whom I did not know) and she asked what I was laughing at so the sales rep gave her one and she started laughing. Her husband said I don't get it. So the other woman and I laughed even harder. So then both of our husbands started saying I don't get it and we laughed even more. As we left the booth, both husbands were still saying I don't get it, and I remember replying that they never would.

Ditto Heads: In the parable of the Scorpion and the Frog, it is only after much pleeding -- and a promise from the Scorpion that he will not sting the Frog -- that the amphibian finally consents to carry his poisonous cargo across a river. The Scorpion, as every child learns, stings the Frog anyway, saying, as they both sink, "it is my nature." Conservative Columnist Jonah Goldberg briefly citing the tale today in his defense of Boss Limbaugh and his open desire for President Obama to fail. Quote: "The Scorpion must sting the Frog." Our fifth story on the Countdown: Mr. Goldberg and the Republicans evidently could not be bothered to read through all 489 words of the parable. The lesson is: the Scorpion and the Frog both die.
Earmark of the Beast: We told you yesterday of the Republican Party's phoney-baloney righteous outrage over Mr. Obama's budget for the next fiscal year, the 12 months starting in October. Tonight, in our fourth story on the Countdown, the party of fiscal conservatism, now in a lather about the bill, called the Omnibus spending bill... to fund the government from this Friday, up until October. Why? Because the bill contains earmarks, which are, as we know, the work of Satan. Are the earmarks wasteful? Well, wait til you hear who put them in the bill. No, the real problem is that mean old President Obama promised to end earmarks forever! And when that promise broke, it did so, so loudly...It even woke-up Senator John McCain.
ODDBALL: Cat in a tree and a doggie runs in his sleep.
Bush's Blank Check: After releasing Bush-era legal memos which had attempted to provide cover if President Bush had wanted to use the military to run raids in this country... or pull people off the street without warrants... or suppress free speech or the media... Sources at the Justice Department today said: prepare yourself -- there are more of those memos on the way... and right soon. And in our third story on the Countdown, the new information dovetails perfectly with -- and may lend critical mass to -- tomorrow's senate hearing on creating an independent truth commission... on Bush's counter-terrorism policies.
Worsties...see below.
WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: Bill-O, Newt Gingrich, Manatee and Lou Holtz vie for tonight's top honors.
Every Rose Has its Thorn: I feel like Charles Van Doren during the Quiz Show Scandal. Yes, it's true: Reality Television Is Scripted! And literally several viewers didn't know that. Thus did this nation awake in unified pain and anger... For the first time, people ranging from Ellen DeGeneres to Elisabeth Hasselbeck, banded together in their collective grief. Our number one story...a nation outraged...by the season finale of "The Bachelor".

HDRO Conference Room
11 March 2011
Time: 10:30 – 12:00
The Climate Vulnerability Monitor is a comprehensive attempt to highlight vulnerabilities on a country-by-country basis. The Monitor uses the best available evidence and science of globally comparable information in order to establish reference points across countries and regions. The presentation will outline the methodology and data-points, and present key results, provide comparisons to the HDI, and discuss possible applications.
The Monitor's analysis is built around four distinct climate impact areas: health impact, weather disasters, habitat loss, and economic stress. The adaptation performance review assesses over 50 key cost-effective adaptation measures that can be taken to reduce dangers and harm to communities across these main impact areas. It gives results at two points in time - 2010 and 2030 – demonstrating how vulnerability would evolve under climate changes expected over the next 20 years if measures are not taken to reduce vulnerabilities.
The results of the monitor include the following:

Our Mission
I am in love with our mission. We exist to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples. This mission statement continues to channel energy to my life and to the ministry of our church. I hear it echoed in the prayers of our people. I see it in the curricula of our classes. I feel it in the spirit of our worship. God has been pleased to make it the heartbeat of our church.
Many will mark 1997 as the year of preaching to the end of Hebrews. It was a powerful experience for many of us and climaxed with several services of significant public commitment when the front of the sanctuary filled with people coming to say yes to significant things God had been doing in their lives during the series.
Sickness and death
Hebrews had a flavor of suffering and pain and death about it because of the end of chapter 11 and the loving discipline of chapter 12 and the call to go outside the camp in chapter 13. This was lived out at Bethlehem with yearlong crises with cancer, sudden deaths of young and older, long battles in sickness for the very young, and a general sense of living close to eternity for the congregation as a whole.
Never before had we spent four weeks preaching on baptism followed by weekly baptismal services all summer long. That was our joy in the summer of 1997 as we went from lake to lake and pool to pool each week for a public worship and testimony and baptismal time. After the summer we have continued the pattern once a month, baptizing on the second Wednesday during the Bethlehem Connection.
Tom Steller's leave and the birth of TBI
After 17 years of faithful and fruitful ministry Tom Steller was granted a ten-month study leave and commissioned to begin work on his Ph.D. as well as design what will be known as THE BETHLEHEM INSTITUTE (TBI), an educational and training endeavor to equip lay leaders and aspiring vocational elders and missionaries for God-centered, Bible-saturated, joyful ministry while being immersed in the life and ethos of Bethlehem. Tom will be away from September 1997 through June 1998 studying in Wheaton, IL.
Two new pastoral staff
Chuck Steddom joined the staff as Associate Pastor for Worship and Music in June. This brought to an end the three-and-a-half year interim period without a full-time lead worshipper. Sam Crabtree joined us in August as the first Executive Pastor in the history of the church. Both of these strategic additions are the fruit of thinking and praying and planning set in motion by the efforts of the Master Planning Team in 1995 and 1996. They bring a strength and stability to the work from which we can already feel the impulses of strength and growth.
Two new books
A Hunger for God: Desiring God through Fasting and Prayer and A Godward Life: Savoring the Supremacy of God in All of Life were published in the summer and fall (respectively) of 1997. The Elders gave me a one-month writing leave in February which enabled me to finish these two works based on material that I had prepared for the church in years gone by. I am deeply thankful for the commitment of the elders and church to the ministry of writing.
Celebration of Thanksgiving at Bethel
For the first time in four years we were able once again to muster the troops and the energy to put together a great off-site, outreach service at the Great Hall at Bethel College with a view to inviting our friends who don't ordinarily go to church or who are unbelieving. There were 1,560 people in the packed hall and nine registered on their cards that they were professing faith in Christ that morning. It was a huge effort on the part of many and the worship time brought tears of joy.
Morning Worship Attendance
Picture the last four years as a valley we are leaving behind. It began with the pain and controversy of early 1993. We entered that valley with an all-time high average attendance for the year of 1,064. But the price of those days was high and in 1994 we fell to 943, and in 1995 to 906. That was the lowest point of the valley. Then, by God's mercy, we began the steady walk up and out of the valley. In 1996 the average attendance was 941, and last year we surpassed the former all-time high (of 1993) with an average attendance of 1,102. This is a great and undeserved blessing from our kind and merciful God. The growth last year was 17% over the previous year. The average fall attendance (September-December) was 1,218. These numbers do not include the children who do not attend the worship service.
With three days to go in the year, and no Sundays left, we still needed about $20,000 for our budget commitments to be met. In those days, $97,000 came in by mail and personal deliveries. We are still thanking the Lord for such stunning kindness to us. We do not deserve it. God is good. The elders were looking for a sign of God's favor to move ahead with an aggressive budget in 1998.
Noél's 50th
Benjamin rang the doorbell and startled his mother by arriving from Georgia for her 50th birthday. Karsten and Shelly were home from Bellingham, Washington. Rick Bush came and took a great family photo with all of us together surrounding the matriarch of this happy clan. Praise to you, my merciful God, for giving life to Noël and giving her to me and our whole family!
My heart
Half way into my 18th year at Bethlehem I marvel at the grace of God in my life to bring me to this place of ministry. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Not always easy, but I am the better for that. For my 52nd birthday this week Barnabas gave me a letter with ten reasons he was thankful for me. In third place (after marrying his mother and giving him brothers and a sister) he said he was thankful that I became the pastor of Bethlehem. Stand and wonder. A fourteen-year-old boy ranks third that his dad is a pastor of Bethlehem! This is worth ten million dollars to me. And is a tribute to you.
Happy to be here for the supremacy of God,
Pastor John

Final repost (for now) from the always insightful History is Made at Night blog.
Jackie Wilson's Melisma – 20 notes for the word 'for'
'The extent to which the music is integrated with the literal meaning in soul is apparent in some of its basic stylistic conventions, the call and response structure, for instance, where a phrase from the lead vocalist – which may not even take a verbal shape – is as often echoed by the band as by other singers. Or the distinctive use of melisma – the concentration of several notes into one syllable – by soul performers. The effect of this technique is often to give the impression that the singer is none too sure that the words exist which could adequately convey the power of what he is feeling. When Jackie Wilson packs more than twenty notes into the word "for" in his version "Danny Boy", the literal meaning of the song is virtually superseded' (Ian Hoare, Mighty mights spade and whitey: soul lyrics and black-white crosscurrents, in The Soul Book, edited by Ian Hoare, London: 1975)

Medical Rescue
Our 24 hour Control Centre provides a comprehensive service for medical rescue:
- Investigation, assessment and advice in cases of accident or sudden illness overseas
- Medical advice by our Company Doctor, with access to specialists in the relevant field of medicine.
- Electing the aircraft appropriate to the patient's medical needs and the flying time involved.
- Comprehensive aviation medical equipment.
- Medical teams appropriate to the patient's condition.
- Scheduling medical teams, air ambulances and arranging medical referral at receiving hospital.
- Liaison with client throughout.
- All aspects of the client, care and transportation are properly insured.
MEDICAL RESCUE is an extremely intricate and complex matter and is not always the answer.
It is sometimes neither in the medical interest of the patient nor within the financial resource of the individual having to pay the bill. Financial pressures, however, must be resisted and all decisions taken on medical grounds, otherwise an unnecessary element of risk is introduced.
Hasty and badly organised air ambulance evacuations for international medical rescue could result in costly and ill coordinated exercises to the detriment of the patient and family.
Whilst the need for air ambulance repatriation does exist, it should not be the automatic and precipitated response in every case where a person has been injured or taken seriously ill in a remote area. This particularly applies to the patient who, having undergone a prescribed course of treatment for a week or so, could then by repatriated by scheduled airline service without undue risk.
Alternatively, time and money are wasted if the medical team arrive only to find that the patient's condition prohibits air travel altogether. Good communication from the outset will save a considerable amount of time, expense and distress.
Heathrow Air Ambulance Medical Rescue Service is an experienced emergency service which can best determine the appropriate action that is required in the event of a medical emergency occurring overseas.

MSP gives 7News up close look at air wing unit
Posted: 01/22/13 at 4:40 pm Updated: 01/22/13 at 5:20 pm
Tags: State Police helicopter rescue
PLYMOUTH, Mass. (WHDH) -- State police showed 7News the helicopter used to locate two boys missing in a Halifax swamp last month.
"This is state of the art, not many departments have this aircraft we have," said Trooper John Pina, Massachusetts State Police.
"Between the infrared and the laser sighting and laser calculations, there's nothing better," said Trooper John Costa, Massachusetts State Police.
The technology is all integrated and moves as a single unit, which cuts down on the time it takes to find a target on the ground.
There's also a cell phone inside the aircraft. It proved crucial in the Halifax rescue. One of the boys had a cell phone and managed to communicate with Costa.
Once the troopers managed to establish communication with the two boys on the ground, they used infrared, managed to find them, and then could see them on the screens inside the chopper.
"We basically told them to come alive we walked the night sun into the kids," Trooper Costa said. "And then pinpointed them once we squeezed the trigger it calculates their exact location."
Even though the crew managed to find the boys within minutes, Trooper Pina, who piloted the chopper, knew they were up against the clock.
"It's stressful for me because I'm watching. Trooper Costa's getting the flare and he's working everything, but I'm fuel, weight, wind; so my clock is ticking," Trooper Pina said.
But it didn't take long to direct Halifax officers on the ground to the lost boys, and the crew witnessed a successful mission from the sky.

Published: 12/7/2012 11:03 PM | Last update: 12/8/2012 12:20 AM Buhler coach stomps old groundsGame hard-fought but Crusaders' free-throws, 3s put Salina South down.BUHLER - As much as he respects the man who was standing in front of the opposing bench, Matt Renk wanted nothing more than to see his friend and mentor lose a game on this particular night.It wasn't personal. Renk was simply hoping his Salina South boys basketball team could find a way to get the best of the Buhler Crusaders, coached by former South coach Denny Wahlgren.
Renk both played for Wahlgren and worked under his as an assistant coach at South, before replacing the longtime coach six years ago. "Coach means so much to me," Renk said. "He taught me so much and helped give me my start. "At the same time, you really want to beat him." South (0-2) had its chances, leading by as many as five points after an 8-0 run to start the second half, then leading 37-34 after opening the fourth quarter with a 6-0 run. Buhler (1-1) responded by scoring on seven of its next eight possessions, answering each time South threatened to take the lead in the game's final four minutes. "Something we do continually stress is we want to take a lot of pride in late-game situations," Wahlgren said. "That being said, it comes down to having the right frame of mind. "Sometimes you let the pressure get to you and sometimes you don't, and I thought tonight we handled the pressure and stress of the situation very well." South junior Ethan Mitchell led all scorers with 18 points, including back-to-back buckets to put the Cougars up 37-34 with five minutes to play. Buhler's next five points came from junior reserve Ryan Norquist, whose 3-pointer tied the game and his bucket on the next possession put the Crusaders up for good, 39-37. Norquist also had the assist on a Brandon Keeler basket to make it 41-37. South got it to a one-possession game three times in the final 2:43, but never had a shot with a chance to take the lead. Buhler was a perfect 10 of 10 at the free throw line in the game, with Norquist, Bransyn Felty and Jace Williams each hitting both ends of a one-and-one in the final 58 seconds. "It was a hard-fought game on both sides," Wahlgren said. "I thought we made progress since (a loss to Smoky Valley) on Tuesday and I thing South made progress since their game last Friday." "I thought our inside game was a lot better," Renk said. "Our perimeter players did a nice job of getting the ball to our bigs and Ethan did a nice job of finishing." Mitchell had 14 of his 18 points in the second half when he was 7 of 10 from the field. South struggled to find points from the perimeter, shooting 1 of 13 from 3-point range, while Buhler hit better than 50 percent of its shots (5 of 9) behind the arc. "We've got to knock down shots to give ourselves a chance in any game," Renk said. "We shot like that and we were still that close. "This is only Game 2, but we definitely saw some things we need to improve on tonight."
Norquist finished with 11 points and Keeler had 10 for the Crusaders. Junior point guard Justin Stonebraker, who turned an ankle in the second quarter and was unable to start in the second half, did return later in the third quarter and finished with seven points for South.

Voting Home / House of Prime Rib
Nominated for: BEST Steakhouse BEST Traditional American
We do one dish exceptionally well--prime rib. House of Prime Rib sprawls over five rooms with comfy banquets, spacious tables, and fireplaces. There are two fresh fish dishes on the menu, but we have been known for fine prime rib since 1949. We are often imitated, but never duplicated. Our chef constantly seeks out the finest beef ribs, and brands them for our own refrigerators. He judges for quality, for perfection in firmness, texture, color, and for the presence of marbling in the lean red meat.
Make a reservation, this place is always busy because the food is always delicious!!!

The prime rib is amazing, so much so that it garnered the attention and praise of one Anthony Bourdain.
Vote: BEST Steakhouse
We have having dinner at House of Prime Rib for over 50 years. It never changes. Always very good and memorible. The only that has changed in years, is that they now have a fish dinner instead of the Prime Rib. I haven't tried it because we go there for the Prime Rib.

Greece, the southernmost of the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Geography has greatly influenced the country's development. Mountains have historically restricted internal communications, but the sea has opened up wider horizons. The total land area of Greece (one-fifth of which is made up of the Greek islands) is comparable in size to England or the U.S. state of Alabama.
Greece has more than 2,000 islands, of which about 170 are inhabited; some of the easternmost Aegean islands lie just a few miles off the Turkish coast. The country's capital is Athens, which expanded rapidly in the second half of the 20th century. Attikí (ancient Greek: Attica), the area around the capital, is now home to about one-third of the country's entire population.
A Greek legend has it that God distributed soil through a sieve and used the stones that remained to build Greece. The country's barren landscape has historically caused the people to migrate. The Greeks, like the Jews and the Armenians, traditionally have been a people of diaspora, and several million people of Greek descent live in various parts of the world. Xeniteia, or sojourning in foreign lands, with its strong overtones of nostalgia for the faraway homeland, has been a central element in the historical experience of the Greek people.
Greece is a country that is at once European, Balkan, Mediterranean, and Near Eastern. It lies at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and Africa and is heir to the heritages of Classical Greece, the Byzantine Empire, and nearly four centuries of Ottoman Turkish rule.
Greece is bordered to the east by the Aegean Sea, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea, and to the west by the Ionian Sea. Only to the north and northeast does it have land borders (totaling some 735 miles [1,180 km]), with, from west to east, Albania, the Republic of Macedonia (see Researcher's Note: Macedonia: the provenance of the name), Bulgaria, and Turkey. The Greek landscape is conspicuous not only for its rugged beauty but also for its complexity and variety. Three elements dominate: the sea, the mountains, and the lowland. The Greek mainland is sharply indented; arms and inlets of the sea penetrate so deeply that only a small, wedge-shaped portion of the interior is more than 50 miles (80 km) from the coast. The rocky headlands and peninsulas extend outward to the sea where there are many island arcs and archipelagoes. The southernmost part of mainland Greece, the Pelopónnisos (ancient Greek: Peloponnese) peninsula, connects to the mainland only by the narrow isthmus at the head of the Gulf of Korinthiakós (Corinth). Greece's mountainous terrain covers some four-fifths of the country, much of which is deeply dissected. A series of mainland mountain chains running northwest-southeast enclose narrow parallel valleys and numerous small basins that once held lakes. With riverine plains and thin, discontinuous strips of coastal plain, these interior valleys and basins constitute the lowland. Although it accounts for only about one-fifth of the country's land area, the lowland has played an important role in the life of the country.

Three characteristics of geology and structure underlie these landscape elements. First, northeastern Greece is occupied by a stable block of ancient (Hercynian) hard rock. Second, younger and weaker rocks, the majority of which are of limestone origin, make up western and southern Greece. These were heavily folded during the Alp-building phase of the Paleogene and Neogene periods (about 65 to 2.6 million years ago), when Earth movements thrust the softer sediments east-northeast against the unyielding Hercynian block and produced a series of roughly parallel tectonic zones that gave rise to the mountain-and-valley relief. Third, both the Hercynian block and the Hellenidic (Alpine) ranges were subsequently raised and fractured by tectonic movements. These dislocations created the sunken basins of the Ionian and Aegean seas as well as the jagged edges so typical of Greece's landscape. Earthquakes are frequent reminders that similar earth movements continue, particularly along the major fault lines. One result of the region's geologic instability is the widespread presence of marble, which is limestone that has been altered by pressure and heat. Seismic disturbances are sometimes associated with volcanic explosions, especially those involving the island of Thíra (ancient Greek: Thera; also called Santoríni), which was virtually destroyed by a major eruption in the 2nd millennium bce. The vents of the Kaméni islands in the sea-filled explosion crater of Thíra remain active. The island of Mílos (Melos), which rises to 2,465 feet (751 metres) above sea level, is composed of young volcanic rocks.
Relief and geology provide the basis for describing the Greek landscape in terms of six major regions: central, northeastern, eastern, southern, and western mainland Greece, along with the islands.
Central Greece: the Píndos Mountains
The central mountain range, the Píndos (ancient Greek: Pindus) Mountains, forms the core of mainland Greece. Following the general northwest-southeast trend of the mountains of the Balkan Peninsula, the Píndos sweep down from the Albanian and Macedonian frontiers, creating a powerful barrier. The two passes of Métsovon and Mount Timfristós divide the range into three units: a fairly open segment in the north where impervious shales and sandstones have weathered and formed into extensive upland valleys and gently inclining hills; the Píndos proper in the centre, some 20 miles (32 km) wide and predominantly limestone; and an almost uncrossable zone in the south, about 50 miles (80 km) wide, deeply cut by winding rivers and composed of a mixture of limestone, slates, and sandstones. The range's highest point, Mount Smólikas, 8,652 feet (2,637 metres) high, is found in the north.

FLINT -- Traffic along I-75 through Birch Run has been steadily flowing throughout the day and as we continue into the night. However, further up the road construction could slow traffic tomorrow from Saginaw onto the Zilwaulkee Bridge. Today drivers say it wasn't too bad.
"So far it's actually been pretty good no back ups. At least not this far, so far good travels," said Christopher Reinhart.
AAA Michigan estimates more than a million Michiganders will travel more than 50 miles this Thanksgiving.
"I don't think it will get too bad. I think people are going to get where they need to be real soon," said Joe Stepaniek.
"I have my three children Greyson, Megan and Duncan and were heading up to grandma's house for dinner," said Scott Temple.
While traffic may not play a role in this years trip. Climbing holiday gas prices may keep the stuffing off the table.

I've been getting into Olympic lifting but I was wondering should I limit my other work or can I keep doing full body and just add the Olympic lofts
PS I'm trying to bulk
3 total body routines and generally 9 exercises per day. Not too bad in terms of volume
Since when is 9 different lifts "not bad" for volume? IMO, that's a ton of volume.
Oly lifts should be done first in the routine and the CNS toll of them isn't awful because of the lack of eccentric movement, but a word of warning: the Oly lifts are the most technical and difficult lifts that exist. They need to be done under the watchful eye of someone very experienced in them and, if you can, get the appropriate footwear.
M.Ed. Ex Phys
Rodja is absolutely right. Oly lifts require coaching, and good, experienced coaching at that. I would suggest going to an Oly lifting seminar, they are very helpful! Also, don't be too proud to drop your weights lower by a lot until you get the form right. I work out in a Crossfit gym a lot, so I see a lot of these lifts, good and bad, and it can get ugly quick. I am a huge fan though, and I feel that they are great for building strength, but it hasn't helped me too much in the bulking aspect. My Oly weights aren't very high though, so that may be why
If you're doing the Bulgarian method which sounds similar to what you described as your workout then I doubt you'll have the energy or willpower to perform any auxiliaries.
OLY lifting is totally different from bodybuilding in terms of programming and improving technique is > any auxiliaries you could ever perform.

Houston … we've reached Zeitgeist.
On Wednesday of this week, I read a few stories online about social networking site Facebook reaching 500 million users. Later that day, I watched ABC World News devote the bulk of an entire episode to the company. That evening, I went to a movie where one of the preview trailers was for the film The Social Network, a "based on a true story" account of the company's founding. I devoted so much time that day to reading and hearing about Facebook that I was only able to check out Soundview's Facebook page six or seven times.
All kidding aside, the social media site's growth is awe-inspiring. Several like-minded media outlets wrote that if the site were a country, its population would make it the third largest on Earth. While everyone else is chipping in with their two cents about Facebook, we thought it was an opportune time to profile David Kirkpatrick's new book The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company That Is Connecting the World. You might be surprised at what we found out when we spent some time with this book.
Of course, the only place you'll be able to see our exclusive coverage of The Facebook Effect is in the next edition of our e-newsletter Soundview Executive Book Alert. Never read it?
