Our new E-book "Breeding and Culling Blue Laced Red Wyandottes" is now available.
I receive many emails each week seeking advice on breeding this variety, so we decided to put all the information that we have acquired over the last 7 years into a E-book and make it available to you.
Nov. 2013...I have some outstanding SLW 2013 Cockerels and Pullets ready to show or breed for sale for $100 each, some that are not as nice...but very good breeder quality that will produce outstanding chicks for $100 a pair. I am cutting back for winter and i will not keep as many breeders this year as I have in the past..now is your chance to get your start with very good birds.
I have nice pairs of BLRW and SLW available to purchase, also BLRW and SLW cockerels..all birds are this years hatch. You can contact me by email to work out the details.These will be nice show birds with no faults. The last few years I have won Best SLW at two APA Nationals and the Ohio National, this is a great chance to get breeding stock from a top line of SLW.
I have started the process of getting the BLRW accepted into the APA...but I need your help. Go to the BLR Wyandotte page to get the latest information...and thanks!

It started out innocent enough....we bought some land out in the country and my wife kept talking about these "cute" bantam ducks and Wyandottes that she had seen as a kid growing up in the middle of no where. I always loved having animals and what the heck my mom and dad always kept some chickens and ducks on our small farm when I was growing up.
So after much searching we did finally locate a pair of gray call ducks and some Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, I even made my wife and kids a nice bench to set on while they watched the chickens and call ducks chase bugs in their coops. Then we attended a poultry show and we purchased a nice pair of calls here and there and couldn't pass up the beautiful SQ Silver Laced Wyandottes, by the time I found a nice pair of Butterscotch Call ducks we had full blown call duck fever..now we are hooked with no cure in sight. The little buggers are very addictive to watch and raise, so now we would like to pass the same call duck and Wyandotte fever on to you..
I hope you will browse through our website and let us know if there is anything you need from our small waterfowl and poultry farm.
You can email us at email@example.com
Pictured on the left is one of the brooders we currently use....
The plastic tubs from Wal-Mart work great for call ducklings.....just make a elevated floor out of hardware cloth so the little pigs stay dry. Hang a 100 watt bulb and you have a very inexpensive brooder. We cut a large square in the lid and attach hardware cloth. The light can rest on top of the hardware cloth. Keeps out the drafts and the young kids.....

Bone is living tissue made up of cells. When a bone breaks, cells in the blood rush to the fractured area. These cells grow into new bone. Bones heal through a gradual process called remodeling. The length of this process depends on the type of fracture and how well the injury is cared for.

Ravens Embrace Role Of Underdog
Haloti Ngata (USATSports)
David Ginsburg
Posted Jan 16, 2013
For Sunday's AFC Championship game, the Ravens have been installed by oddsmakers as the underdog again. It is a position that many in Baltimore relish
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Ravens have another opportunity to embrace the underdog role, this time in the AFC championship game against the
New England Patriots
Playing at home — where they've won seven of nine this season — the Patriots have been installed as 9½-point favorites Sunday to beat Baltimore and advance to the Super Bowl.
The Ravens have already defeated New England this season and are coming off a stunning upset on the road against top-seeded Denver. Yet, it appears they're still not getting any respect.
And the Ravens are just fine with it.
"It's just what everyone else thinks," defensive tackle
Haloti Ngata
said Monday. "In here, on our team, we believe in ourselves. Whatever anyone else thinks, that their thoughts. We'll just have to go back out there and prove people wrong again."
Even with
Demaryius Thomas
, the Broncos couldn't build a big enough lead on the Ravens.
After eliminating the Broncos 38-35 in double-overtime Saturday, the Ravens (12-6) watched New England (13-4) defeat Houston on Sunday. Baltimore might have had an easier time against the Texans, but many of the Ravens longed for a rematch of last year's AFC title game, won by the Patriots 23-20.
"I think we personally kind of wanted to play the Patriots again," Ngata said. "If we go to the Super Bowl, it would be great to go through Foxborough."
The Ravens were also 9½-point underdogs against Denver, which came in with an 11-game winning streak and as the odds-on favorite to reach the Super Bowl. Yet, Baltimore is still in the hunt and the Broncos are done for the season.
"It will probably be one of the greatest victories in Ravens history," linebacker
Ray Lewis
declared afterward. "It's partly because of the way everything was stacked up against us coming in. ... For us to come in here and win, 9- to 10-point underdogs, that's the beautiful part about sports. That's the thing that, if I'll probably miss anything about my career, it will be to listen to what people say you can't do, and then to go do it."
The 37-year-old Lewis, who has been with the Ravens since their first game in 1996, plans to retire of Baltimore's current playoff run. If the Ravens go all the way, he will no doubt recall they were underdogs this season from September through the first weekend in February.
It always seems to be that way for Baltimore, at least in Lewis' mind.
"My Super Bowl year in 2000, we were never picked one time the entire season to win a game. Not one time," Lewis recalled. "But at the end of the day, we held the Lombardi Trophy as Super Bowl champs. That alone taught me a valuable lesson — that no one outside dictates how we play on the inside."
OK, so the Ravens weren't underdogs in every game and were 3-point favorites over New York in the Super Bowl. But, with the aid of some revisionist history, Lewis made a valid point.
Wide receiver
Torrey Smith
echoed that sentiment Monday after someone asked him if he reads media reports before the game.
"They are irrelevant," he said. "None of you all thought we were going to be right here this week anyway."
For one year now, the Ravens have been striving to be in this position — back in the AFC title game. Ever since Lee Evans had the potential game-winning catch poked from his grasp and
Billy Cundiff
followed by hooking a 32-yard field goal attempt, Baltimore has been eager for another chance to play for a shot at a Super Bowl berth.
"The feeling we had in the locker room, I think we all wanted to get back to the AFC championship," Ngata said. "Hopefully we can get it done this time."
Underdogs or not, the Ravens are playing the Patriots for the conference crown. Again.
"It's been a long road getting back to this point, and the way we left it last year didn't sit well with us," tight end Dennis Pitta said. "So we're excited to be in this position against and give it another shot."
Because the Patriots and Ravens are usually among the top teams in the AFC, they have met quite often in recent years. Baltimore's 31-30 win in September was the fifth matchup between the teams since the start of the 2009 season. New England is 3-2, including 1-1 in the playoffs.
"It's definitely grown into quite a rivalry, we would like to say. I don't know how they feel about that," Ravens coach
John Harbaugh
said. "But we have tremendous respect for the New England Patriots. ... They just have a tremendous staff, tremendous players, tremendous tradition. It's always a huge challenge for us, but it's one we're excited about and look forward to."

How ironic. After being used by Eastwood as a prop to show the value of our Presidential "leadership", it finds it´s way to sit in RNC headquarters.Art reflecting reality in its new home as well?
I am not surprised that it won´t be used in Congress now !!!!As it reflects how the Republicans there are acting !!!
It has no plaque or is not enshrined?RNC has their heads in their collective wazoos!

ADAMS -- The Northern Berkshire Solid Waste Management District sent forward a proposed fiscal 2014 budget of $73,681, which could be approved at their next meeting.
The figure represents an assessment of $2.40 per person within the 30,358-person district, comprising the towns of Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, Hancock, Hinsdale, Lanesborough, New Ashford, Peru, Savoy, Williamstown and Windsor.
"We're not level-funded, but pretty darn close to it," Edward Driscoll, Adams' member on the board, said Thursday. "We save a lot of money in comparison to other districts because much of our work is done by volunteers."
Program Coordinator Sandy Totter said, "We think this is a reasonable budget. ... We've added the services of mercury and fluorescents [disposal] and these programs have become so successful that we've had to increase the budget a little."
Last year's budget was $71,984. Treasurer Holly Denault said the district's cash balance is $25,449 and the proposed budget is "right on target."
However, the district faces a challenge in its perennial work to support recycling as the cost dynamic of recycling versus trash collection has changed in recent years, Totter said.
"Since the markets crashed in 2008, recycling has been more expensive than trashing," she said.
At the present time, the towns average a cost of $127 a ton to recycle and $97 a ton for trash.
Fluctuations in the cost of fuel and other market items factor into the difference.
The district recycles everything from paper and cardboard to scrap metal, electronics and other "bulky waste," or, large household items that can't be disposed of in regular household trash. Collections are routinely held in many of the district's towns.
Because work to construct a solar array at the old town landfill on East Road is due to begin soon, Driscoll suggested a new potential site: the parking lot of the former North Adams Plaza. Driscoll said its Route 8 location near the Adams-North Adams line would be convenient for both Adams and Williamstown residents, who often drop off in Adams.
The district will meet to vote on its proposed budget on March 14, at 7 p.m., at the Adams Visitors Center.

The first weekend of April is one of my favorite of the year. The weather is starting to get right, but more importantly, AAU basketball is back. Many teams give their players the first week or two of April off, but those Midwest teams who opt to play descend to NY2LA Sports Swish 'N Dish in Milwaukee.
Founded by SLAM alum Antonio Curro, the Swish 'N Dish serves as a legit chemistry builder for many teams who may have not even practiced together yet. Nike EYBL teams All Ohio Red, St. Louis Eagles, CIA Bounce, Meanstreets, Mac Irvin Fire, SYF Players and Playground Elite all came out to play before things got real serious. Throw in some legit adidas, Under Armour and Reebok teams and it's easy to see why it's tough to find a hotel room in the city of Milwaukee during the opening weekend of the month.
With the absurd amount of talent that was on hand, we found ourselves watching a nice player in every single game. Here is a look at a few of the seniors who caught our eye:
Jabari Parker, 6-8, SF, Mac Irvin Fire
The No. 1 player in SLAM's Fresh 25 didn't dominate how some felt he should, but those same critics ignored the fact that he plays for the most stacked AAU team in the country. Now standing closer to 6-9, Parker has developed into a legit presence as a shotblocker. As you can see on the video from our friends at CityLeagueHoops, he made the game look easy with his ability to both see and finish over the defense. The expectations as the No. 1 player in the country are near impossible to live up to and there will always be haters, but Jabari showed out enough for us at NY2LA.
Moshawn Thomas, 6-8, PF, Meanstreets
There were a lot of other guys from the Meanstreets team who scored more points, but there wasn't another dude who impacted the game more than Thomas on both ends. The super athletic forward had mad energy, was tougher than Mr. T, and was an animal on the glass. Word on the street is that there may be some concerns academically but provided that he gets his grades straight, he's the type of 4-man who every college coach needs on their team.
Bronson Koenig, 6-2, PG, Wisconsin Swing
New summer, new AAU team for Koenig. After killing last summer with JP Tokoto and Sam Dekker for Wisconsin Playground Warriors, he opted to run his final summer of AAU with the Swing and appears to be taking that next step in his game. Bronson made pinpoint passes, shot the lights out, and controlled the game to the point that he took the Swing to the U17 title game. We would have loved to see the Wisconsin recruit be a little more aggressive for himself, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Xzavier Taylor, 6-9, PF/C, Mac Irvin Fire
Coming off the bench for the most loaded front line on the AAU circuit, Taylor made some serious strides in his game since last spring. The hella long big man was able to block a ton of shots on D,while also proving to be a force offensively with his handful of dunks. Xzavier even stepped out and knocked down a pair of face-up Js, showing why many college coaches consider him a blank canvas as a prospect.
Duane Wilson, 6-2, PG, Playground Elite
The top player in the city of Milwaukee put on in the hometown tourney. As one of the more athletic point guards in the country, Wilson was able to use his speed to get past defenders to the rim and bounce to finish above it once he got there. Staying at home to play his college ball at Marquette, Wilson still needs to improve his decision making but should make an impact from the jump.
Tanner Williams, 6-7, SF/PF, Peoria Irish
Though Jabari Parker definitely got the better end of him, Tanner Williams definitely showed that he could hang with his more heralded counterparts. The 6-7 combo forward is a sneaky athlete who can put on the deck against most big men, but is also tough enough to take smaller guys down to the blocks. He didn't get a ton of love coming out of Orion, IL, but expect that to change real quick next year when he does his senior year for Jason Smith at Brewster Academy.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
45. No Sale: The prohibition against re-selling a Jewish maidservant
Rabbi Jack Abramowitz
The man who purchases a Jewish maidservant is supposed to marry her. If he doesn't, he's supposed to help her redeem herself from service before the end of her term of service. And if he doesn't? Nothing. There's no third option. He's not permitted to sell her to a third party.
The Torah says that the servant girl's master may not sell her "l'am nachri," literally "to a foreign nation," but it is accepted as meaning that the master may not re-sell her at all. Not only that, once she goes back to her father, even he may not sell her a second time. One sale per minor girl - that's the limit! (See Talmud Kiddushin 18a.)
The reason is the expression of compassion discussed in the past few mitzvos.
Like the other mitzvos in this section, this prohibition only applies to men and only at a time when the Jubilee year is observed. It is found in Talmud Kiddushin 18 and in Mishneh Torah Hilchos Avadim chapter 4. It is #261 of the 365 negative mitzvos in the Rambam's Sefer HaMitzvos.

Old school equations with Sal
Age word problems 2 Second set of age word problems
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Welcome to the second set of presentations
- on age word problems.
- I have one typed out here.
- Let's see what it says.
- It says, Salman- that's me- is one hundred and eight years old.
- And so this is clearly at some vast time in the future.
- And this'll only happen if my caloric restriction works out.
- But Salman is one hundred and eight years old.
- Jonathan is twenty-four years old.
- How many years will it take for Salman to be exactly four
- times as old as Jonathan?
- Well, let's figure this one out.
- What we're trying to solve for is how many years will it take.
- So let's use the variable y, for years.
- So y equals years until, let's just say Sal, for short.
- Sal is four times Jonathan's age.
- Well, if today, I, or Sal, if Salman, it's hard to speak
- in the third person.
- If Salman is one hundred years old today, in y years, Salman
- will be one hundred and eight plus y is equal to Sal in y years.
- We'll say y years.
- Sal in y years is going to be one hundred and eight plus y.
- And then Jonathan in y years, that's pretty easy.
- He's going to be twenty-four plus y.
- So that's, I'll say Jon for short.
- In y years.
- Not years.
- y years.
- And what else does the problem say?
- It says, in how many years would take for Salman to be
- exactly-- I should put that in another color for emphasis--
- Exactly four times as old as Jonathan?
- Well, and the exactly is important.
- Because Salman is already more than four times
- as old as Jonathan.
- But they want to figure out exactly when is Salman going to
- be four times as old as Jonathan.
- Well, in y years Salman is going to be one hundred and eight plus y.
- So we know that.
- one hundred and eight plus y.
- And after y years, he's going to be four times
- as old as Jonathan.
- Exactly four times.
- And Jonathan's going to be twenty-four plus y years old.
- And now we just solve the equation.
- Get one hundred and eight plus y is equal to four times twenty-four.
- Well, four times twenty-five is one hundred.
- And we can subtract four from there.
- So it's ninety-six.
- Plus foury.
- And now we just solve this equation.
- We get three.
- three, I'm going to skip some steps, because I think this
- part is easy for you.
- threey will equal one hundred and eight minus ninety-six.
- So we get threey is equal to, what is that, twelve, right?
- So y is equal to four.
- So our algebra has told us that in four years Salman is going
- to be exactly four times as old as Jonathan.
- Let's see if that's true.
- Well, if Salman is one hundred and eight right now, in four years
- he's going to be one hundred and twelve.
- And if Jonathan is twenty-four right now, in four years he's
- going to be twenty-eight.
- And let's see.
- twenty-eight times four is eighty plus thirty-two.
- Yep, exactly.
- He'll be one hundred and twelve.
- Looks like that problem worked.
- Excellent.
- Let's do another one.
- Hope you didn't hear that, it was my stomach growling.
- See how hard I work on this site?
- Don't even eat properly.
- Let's do another problem.
- I'll type it in green this time.
- Tarush is five times as old as Arman is today, eighty-five years ago.
- We're dealing with huge swathes of time.
- eighty-five years ago.
- Tarush was ten times as old as Arman.
- How old is Arman today?
- Let's see if we can tackle this quite interesting
- problem, I think.
- Settings.
- Pen tool on.
- Well, I think this might be useful to do one of those
- charts like we did in the first video presentation.
- Well, we're trying to solve for how old is Arman today's.
- So let's say Arman.
- And we're going to have today.
- And we're going to have, what's the other time
- period we're dealing with.
- We're dealing with eighty-five years ago.
- So, let's say.
- eighty-five years ago.
- In a galaxy far, far away.
- OK, Arman and Tarush.
- Well, we're trying to solve for how old is Arman today's.
- So let's just make that x, for simplicity.
- It says Tarush is five times as old as Arman today.
- So let me underline that.
- Tarush is five times as old as Arman today.
- So if Arman is x, that tells us that Tarush is going to be fivex.
- eighty-five years ago.
- So, eighty-five years ago, well, Arman is x today, then eighty-five years ago,
- Arman would have been x minus eighty-five.
- And if Tarush is fivex today, then Tarush would be fivex minus eighty-five.
- I just subtracted eighty-five from the current age.
- Because we're going eighty-five years in the past.
- And now we have this extra piece of information.
- Which tells us that eighty-five years ago, Tarush was ten
- times as old as Arman.
- So this number is going to be ten times more than this number.
- That's what that sentence tells us.
- eighty-five years ago, we're in this situation.
- Tarush, which is this, was ten times older than Arman.
- We just write that out algebraically.
- eighty-five years ago, Tarush is fivex minus eighty-five.
- And the sentence tells us that he was ten times older than
- Arman, who is x minus eighty-five.
- Now we just solve the equation.
- We get fivex minus eighty-five is equal to tenx minus eight hundred and fifty.
- And then you get-- and I'm going to do this, skip some
- steps, just to confuse you-- fivex is equal too-- well, I think
- I just confused myself.
- fivex is equal to eight hundred and fifty minus eighty-five.
- Let's see, what's eight hundred and fifty minus eighty-five.
- It'll be thirty-five less than eight hundred.
- So we could say that fivex-- thirty-five less than eight hundred.
- thirty less than eight hundred gets seven hundred and seventy.
- So seven hundred and sixty-five.
- And then x is equal to, let me see.
- five goes into seventy.
- one times five.
- twenty-six.
- five times five is twenty-five.
- fifteen.
- So x is equal to one hundred and fifty-three.
- We have some long-lifespanned people.
- So we get the solution that Arman is one hundred and fifty-three years old.
- Today.
- Let's see if that makes sense.
- Well, if he's one hundred and fifty-three, then, no, that can't be right.
- Because then he's five.
- Huh.
- Well, actually I'm almost out of time.
- Let me see where I might have messed up on this.
- If Arman is x, Tarush is fivex.
- That makes sense.
- Oh, right, right, right.
- I think this could make sense.
- So, I thought that Tarush had to be younger than Arman.
- But no, Tarush is five times one hundred and fifty-three.
- So Tarush is actually seven hundred and sixty-five years old.
- We should call him Methuselah.
- So, Tarush is seven hundred and sixty-five years old.
- And then if we go eighty-five years into the past, Tarush would have
- been-- what did we say?
- If we go eighty-five years into the past, so let's write this down.
- This is equal to, I'm about to run out of time, so you might
- have to check this yourself.
- If that's equal to one hundred and fifty-three, then fivex is equal to seven hundred and sixty-five.
- These numbers are big.
- And then one hundred and fifty-three minus eighty-five.
- Well, one hundred and fifty-five minus eighty-five would be seventy-three.
- So this would be seventy-two.
- And then Tarush, eighty-five years ago.
- No, I think I messed up someplace.
- Well, actually, I only have ten seconds before YouTube
- won't let me upload it.
- So we'll have to stop there.
- Thank you.

text: Home Politics Black Critics and President Obama Are African Americans expected to shut up and suffer? That's just not democratic. By: Eddie S. Glaude Jr. Posted: May 23 2011 12:46 AM 0 Cornel West; President Obama (Getty Images) Black America finds itself in an unusual moment. By any measure, many of our communities are suffering heavily during this economic downturn. Black unemployment is officially at 16.1 percent (some believe the real number hovers around 28 percent, making nearly one-third of black America jobless). Even those who have been fortunate to keep their jobs have seen their weekly wages decline. The foreclosure crisis has also disproportionately affected black communities -- we are 70 to 80 percent more likely to have lost our homes. And it is well known now that there is a direct correlation between racist lending practices and the vulnerability of our communities to foreclosure. Faced with failing schools (while we wait for Superman) and the destabilizing effects of the prison industrial complex (nearly 1 million of us are locked up; families are destroyed as the rate of black female incarceration skyrockets, leaving many of our children languishing as wards of the state), entire communities -- even entire cities -- have been engulfed in what seems to be spiraling cycles of misery and hopelessness. And yet we find ourselves embroiled in a heated public debate over whom to hold accountable for the failure to address these conditions. Recently, Cornel West offered a strident critique of President Obama's relative silence on this matter. For him, the president has failed to address substantively the conditions of the poor and the most vulnerable in our society. Instead, West maintains, Obama has been too concerned with appeasing the robber barons on Wall Street. Many took offense, not only with the personal nature of the criticism but also with the fact that West dared to criticize the president at all. Some African Americans hold the view that this only contributes to right-wing attacks against Obama, making him vulnerable in 2012. Others believe that such criticisms betray an unreasonable expectation that Obama owes something to the black community because he is the first black president -- a troublesome black identity politics, they might say. Worries about Democrats closing ranks for an upcoming election seem, to me, at least, to be a perennial (and uninteresting) concern. I am more interested in the underlying anxiety about black people criticizing Obama. It is as if we are being told to keep our mouths shut. Three points need to be made about this issue. First, the challenge to black criticism of Obama reveals the persistence of a certain form of black identity politics. What is at work here is a startling effort to police black dissent in the name of race loyalty. This may be rooted in very different sensibilities. There are those, as Gary Younge notes in the Nation, who hold that presidents, generally, do not affect their conditions of living. And if we are going to have a president, it might as well be a black one, and we should support him no matter the concrete realities of black communities. American politics don't work, and Barack Obama can't change that fact. One could view this as race loyalty from below. Others maintain that support of Obama reflects a commitment to racial advancement. To criticize him is, in effect, to turn one's back on the black freedom struggle of which Obama is the culmination. One might think of this as racial loyalty from above. It is the latest version of racial uplift rooted in a particular black-elite aspiration to hold on to the levers of power. In both instances, criticisms of the president by black people are met with impatience or fierce condemnation. Race loyalty joins with a lingering commitment among the broader public to postracialism. Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Man accused of crushing cruisers found incompetentThe Associated Press | January 09,2013NEWPORT — The Vermont man charged with driving a tractor over seven police vehicles and crushing them has been found incompetent to stand trial.
Roger Pion of Newport had already been involuntarily committed to the custody of the state commissioner of mental health.
He's been at Fletcher Allen Health Care.
The 34-year-old Pion had faced multiple criminal counts after police say he drove his dad's tractor over six cruisers and a van at the county sheriff's department in Derby in August, causing about $300,000 in damage.
Police said he was angry over a previous arrest for marijuana possession. Pion pleaded not guilty.
The Caledonian-Record reports (http://bit.ly/ULiq8d) a judge agreed to a hearing to determine how and where Pion will receive treatment. Prosecutors asked for another evaluation in 90 days.MORE IN This Just InThe upcoming legislative session will be an interesting one.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"Everything about this invitation was just beautiful! The pearlized paper added a WOW factor. Wedding Paper Divas fretted about the clarity of the picture I submitted, but they did a first class job! The company was so accommodating & helpful in making my project a reality! Everyone just raved about how beautiful & delicate & perfect!"
"I sampled the pink and purple, which were both great, but I chose the purple (it being my part of my wedding colors). I also opted for the rounded corners and the pearl sheen, both are a must!!! The select people I have shown loved it..."
"This invitation for my daughter's bridal shower turned out very beautiful and elegant. Very professionally done! And the turnaround from approval of the proof to delivery to my front door was fantastic! I will most definitely use this company for future paper products like this!"
"I personalized the DARLING, Lucky Umbrella and selected the Charcoal with Pink Dress & Green Sash & Umbrella. They exceeded my expectations, not only in quality, but in delivery as well. Yes, I paid for the super duper fast delivery, but anticipated receiving them in about 4 or 5 days from my order day. Oh My Gosh, they delivered a 1:00 PM the NEXT DAY! Unbelievable! Wedding Paper Divas, you are WONDERFUL & I would recommend you to anyone!"
"I ordered these cards for my wedding shower, and they are so beautiful. I actually wanted them for the wedding itself but they were a bit too flowery for my partner, so this was a happy compromise. We had them delivered to Canada and I was a bit worried about how long it would take but wow - they were here in two business days! Amazing service."

How do you meet demand for new taste experiences and nutrition simultaneously?
According to the National Restaurant Association, Americans spend 48% of every food dollar away from home. About 75% of adults report trying to eat healthier while they're out. That's not always easy dining on ethnic foods—whether it's trendy cuisine from the Caribbean, northern Africa or Thailand, or the more traditional Italian, Chinese and Mexican.
When preparing nutritious ethnic meals, limit fats (e.g., oils, sauces), salt and sugar in food preparation. Limit food portions (e.g., three ounces cooked meat), and include high-fiber fruits, vegetables (steamed or stir-fried), beans, lentils and whole grains (e.g., whole-wheat pasta and bread, brown rice, kasha, bulgur).
Here are other tips to follow:
1. Include moderate amounts of skinless poultry, lean meats (trim visible fat), fish and low-fat dairy products (e.g., cheese, yogurt, milk).
2. Bake, broil, boil, stew, steam, grill, poach, roast or stir-fry foods instead of frying.
3. Prepare fat-free marinades with fruit juice, tomato juice, low-sodium soy or teriyaki sauce, nonfat yogurt, wine, vinegar or fat-free broth with a variety of herbs and spices (e.g., garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin). Allow one-fourth to one-half cup of marinade for one to two pounds of meat.
4. Replace high-fat sauces (e.g., butter, cheese, cream) with low-fat salsa, low-sodium teriyaki or soy sauce, fruit or vegetable chutneys, wine or marinara sauce.
5. Add chopped or pureed vegetables or mashed beans to sauces. Serve sauces, toppings (e.g., low-fat sour cream) and salad dressings on the side.
Menu guidelines: Here are low-calorie, low-fat and low-sodium menu suggestions for tasty ethnic meals:

How to shield your smart phone from hacking | Crime
Cyber-criminals can hack your smart phone just like they'd hack your computer.
A spokesperson for ProtectMyID.com, an identity protection service sold by credit bureau Experian, said one in every seven of those hackers is a friend or relative of their victims. They call that "friendly fraud."
Doesn't sound very friendly to me.
These are user-friendly, though. They are ProtectMyID.com's tips to prevent smart phone hacking:
* Password protect your phone with a unique password. Use different passwords for each online account. The Secret Service recommends passwords with at least eight characters, mixing letters, numbers, symbols and cases.
* When finished, log out of applications that automatically access payment information.
* Only use trusted Wi-Fi networks. If you're using an unprotected network, do not access your bank account online or any web site that requires your password. For details on secure Wi-Fi networks, safe browsing and password protection, please click here for The Action News 5 Investigators' story on password stealers.
* Learn what your specific mobile device requires to be secure and manage that security.
* Back up the data on your smart phone.
* Consider using a mobile device management service, like iHound, that can track and remotely wipe a lost or stolen device.

Vesuvio heats up the dining scene New Italian restaurant opens in St. Charles by Renee Tomell Just as volcanoes are prone to change landscapes, Cafe Vesuvio has erupted on the St. Charles scene promising a new dynamism in fine dining. With added inspiration from chef Rennie Bahr, the owners of what was Rocky and Bullwinkle's are scaling new heights with a freshly focused commitment to creating an enhanced dining experience. The transition was completed two weeks ago, and the restaurant celebrates its grand opening this Friday through Mother's Day. The redecorated restaurant boasts a light and airy design in shades of white and peach with accenting touches of teal. The former lounge area is transformed into the smoking section of the dining room, and includes a corner of smaller tables perfect for savoring espresso or cappuccino with dessert. They include such hand-prepared treats as crepes smothered with strawberries or puff pastry hearts filled with white chocolate nougat floating on a bed of homemade fruit custard in flavors from kiwi to berry. Owner Craig Lee and his wife, Tricia, the restaurant's general manager, visited numerous Italian restaurants to en- sure that Cafe Vesuvio's menu promises unique dishes. "We want to be something different," Craig Lee said, adding he's been pleased at customers' responses to the change. Chief among the chef s special touches is a commitment to, preparing authentic dishes from scratch, whether it be soups or entrees right down to the pesto flavored olive oil that puts butter to shame when drizzled on fresh-from-the-oven rolls. The menu also gives a '90s emphasis to healthful selections such as lasagna prepared with ground turkey or a variety of low-fat items designated "heart-healthy." His skill with fresh herbs means minimal salt finds its way into recipes. Given the variety of dishes on the menu, Bahr describes Cafe Vesuvio not as Italian in scope but as a "world restau- rant," which lives up to its volcanic namesake in terms of continuing surprise and recipes with "zip." In the summer months, Bahr will grill specialty items out- doors, such as smoked rib-eye or swordfish and tuna steaks. "We want to be affordable," concurred Bahr and Craig Lee about the new venture. "When you see the appealing presen- tation and sizable portion, it should exceed expectations," Lee added. To keep the menu fresh, the chef will continue to add new specialties, and Bahr is quick to assure he'll happily prepare an old favorite as a special request if it isn't featured. "The name Vesuvio has meant change for thousands of years," Bahr said, noting that part of the excitement of working in a good kitchen is the luxury of altering the menu. Fred Fischer, the beverage manager, has added specialty beers to the offerings, including Warsteiner (the top-selling beer in Germany) and Baderbrau on draft. And, of course, the fruit of Italian vineyards has not been forgotten. Craig Lee said the members of the serving staff have worked hard to make the transition a smooth one, and are excited about the new enterprise which is open from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, until 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 9 p.m. Sunday. Reservations are offered at 377-7171. - While the menu is definitely upscale, Tricia Lee wants everyone to know they're welcome whether they drop by in blue jeans or suits. "We still want people to feel comfortable."

Republicans' biggest donors
Story | Oct 19, 2012 | 4:40 AMWASHINGTON (AP) — For a casino mogul worth an estimated $25 billion, $34.2 million may sound like chump change. Yet that's how much money Sheldon Adelson has donated so far to aid Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and organizations supporting Romney this election, making him the donor the GOP.

The type of residential zoning being requested would limit what could be built on the property. According to attorney George McCoin, speaking for the property owner, the land could not be used for mobile homes. The intended use for the property is to build a 16-unit subdivision of townhomes.
"These would be owner-occupied units, not renter units," McCoin said. "The plan is to have restrictions and a homeowners association."
The attorney also highlighted the benefits to the county if the rezoning was approved. McCoin said the development would create jobs because it would be new construction, and provide for coming growth.
Tricia Hall of Southern Homebuilders also presented photographs of the type of townhomes that would be built on the site.
"Our buyers typically ... 68 percent of our buyers are single professionals. The married couples are typical young professionals just starting out," Hall said.
She said these people are excited about owning their first home.
The rezoning request was initially opposed by 2nd District Commissioner Connie Wilson because of concerns about traffic on Urbane Road. However, she said Monday after talking to the developers, she is more comfortable with the project.
McCoin said less traffic is created with townhomes as opposed to other types of development that could be done on the site.
Community members also expressed concerns about Urbane Road.
"I feel that Urbane Road is almost to the breaking point," community member Danny Lee said. "Something needs to be done about Urbane Road."
Lee said he appreciated the subdivision's plans to build deceleration lanes for those turning into the subdivision.
County engineer Sandra Knight said the road could handle increased traffic because it was built to an industrial grade.
Lee said he did not have a problem with the proposed subdivision, but is concerned about traffic, especially trucks, on the road. Lee said truck drivers often use jake brakes when coming down one of the hills. Two other residents in the area also spoke, and agreed with Lee.
Wilson asked if there was anything the Commission could do about the use of jake brakes as trucks come down the hill.
Knight said if funds were available a solution could be to regrade the hill and then widen the curve.
Another solution could be through using local law enforcement, according to chairman Louie Alford.
The commissioners asked 3rd District Commissioner Brian Smith to bring up the issue at the law enforcement meeting scheduled for today, and discuss what the Bradley County Sheriff's Office could do.
The rezoned site is 8 acres owned by Ricky Brooks. He said he has no plans to develop his remaining 25 acres adjacent to the property.
Also during the meeting, the Commission approved a motion to take the funding allocated in the budget to give commissioners a raise and use it to fix the Commission meeting room's sound system.
A podium microphone in the system is not working and there is a constant hum and static. First District Commissioner Ed Elkins said there were some broken wires in the podium microphone. The Commission had previously looked into replacing the system, but moved the funding to pay for a court-mandated mental evaluation for a county jail inmate.
Fourth District Commissioner J. Adam Lowe said modifications to the system could include electronic recording capabilities. Elkins said he was unsure if the money set aside would be able to fix the entire system. Lowe said he would at least like to have the podium microphone and the microphone for the county attorney working. Other items would be considered if money allowed.
"Until we get someone in here to look at it, I'm not sure what that (the price) would be," Lowe said.
The motion gives $2,021 to the project.

Hello Brenda L. B.,
Let me paint a picture with words:
You are in a forest with the sounds of a flowing brook nearby. A light breeze brings in the scent of pine trees and honeysuckles. You look up and hear a woodpecker on a nearby tree echoing through the woods and it brings a smile. Never having been on this forest path you follow a peculiar trail of roses that starts on the trail and leads off into the deeper woods. It's a strange place for cultivated roses. One rose after another; they beckon you to follow them. The scent is light and wonderful, sparkles of purple float up from the flowers into the wind and drift off.
"What on Earth?" In a hole in an oak tree you find three small bottles of honey. A single drop of honey on your tongue is so sweet and delicious as if you haven't eaten in a week.
"That is my honey." The voice is a big one though not threatening.
You come face to face with the big red dragon. "Oh my."
You have a nice shelf.
I hope you are reading lots of interesting books.
Knights of the Dragon:
Leander is under siege. It seems their wizard is dying. A dragon befriends a boy and hires knights to save his kingdom. Alexa is a match for any man, except perhaps for Stone; they've had eyes for one another for years, though neither will admit it. A dragon is born that turns out to be a wizard, a rare dragon indeed.
And there are whispers of a boy wizard.
It's a tale of wizards, dragons, romance and knights.
Unrealistic or not my writing gives me hope. But with something like 50 000 books published every month it is a little discouraging. I didn't think there were that many writers.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, February 2006
Comments, questions and tips
In future I will scroll down to read comments before I cook! We also had a bad experience with this dish-the mustard is a bad idea, the stock made it too salty and the lemon rind made it taste very strange. We then tried to save it using all the below tricks of adding flour and cheese and milk but nothing helped.
I added chicken and bacon since I'm not really concerned with the calories. I also put in some sour cream (I'm in Canada and we don't really have creme fraiche here). Also, I fried the mushrooms separately with fresh rosemary so they didn't brown the sauce and added them to the sauce at the same time as the pasta. And I used chicken stock and added cheese. It turned out great! Not really vegetarian though at this point!!
I made this tonight. I think that perhaps it needed a little less mustard, as it seemed to completely overshadow the mushrooms. Used fresh basil instead of parsley at the end. It was a quick meal, which is what I was after, but I didn't really enjoy it, didn't finish it, and I'm not really likely to make it again.
I've just cooked this for two people for a Meat free Monday.
If you do make this recipe, definitely include the ricotta or some creme fraiche as I think it would be incredibly bland without it.
Overall I was disappointed with this dish. It felt like something was missing and that the flavours didn't mesh quite well together. I'm not sure what would have made it better, I imagine the truffle oil that people above have suggested would be nice. I also grated some Parmesan once it was served, which I think definitely helped give it a bit of sharpness.
It certainly wasn't so disgusting that I needed to throw it away like others have suggested and we both ate it all but it wasn't really anything that I'm in a hurry to make again.
Quick and healthy, but don't know if I'd make again.
Really easy and surprisingly tasty :) I didn't include th lemon as i didn't have any, but still lovely. I added a pinch of plain flour to thicken the sauce slightly, as i only made this meal for one. I also added some milk to the sauce to make it a little creamy :) will DEF make it again! I am a very novice cook so am loving these easy recipes!
I am terrible at following recipes strictly, I used a smaller pasta portion, only a couple of drops of lemon juice and I only had plain mushrooms.
It turned out really nice- only a bit salty because I used too much stock cube to the amount of pasta I cooked. Alot of flavour for something so simple though!
Such a sinmple dish, I managed to completely mess it up. Added too much stock and a bit of ham. Mistake..... Tried cooking it down a bit by which point the ham and everything else had gone black because of the mushrooms... In the end we had black sludge and pasta.... yummy.... :D
The tastes were fantastic but we had to close our eyes to eat it... Fail on my behalf!
Absolutely delicious - I added a healthy spoonful of soft cheese with garlic and herbs for a lovely creamy sauce. You have to use good mushrooms though - white cap mushrooms will just not have enough flavour - I used portobello ones. Will definitely be making this again as it's a quick and easy midweek recipe that can easily be adapted by adding other ingredients.
I absolutely love mushrooms and needed a quick yet satisfying dinner after coming home from the gym. Did this tonight with some porcini flavoured fettuccini and 2 large fresh porcinis. Left out the mustard and lemon but added a teaspoon of vegemite to the stock instead to give it more flavour (vegemite is also a great source of B vitamins for vegetarians by the way). What a fantastic and healthy dish! Will do this more often from now on!

NORTH ADAMS -- North Adams Housing Authority officials claimed strong recent results amid a difficult country-wide atmosphere at a Board of Commissioners meeting Monday.
The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) upped its standards in 2011, and staff and the current board has done well adjusting despite limited resources, according to Executive Director Jennifer Hohn.
"It's affected every [authority] in the country," Hohn said. "We're being forced to do more with less."
Hohn reported high scores from HUD in all categories from the condition of properties to accounts receivables, most notably finance, where "healthy reserves" are enjoyed. A broader financial report is due next month.
HUD's most dramatic 2011 demands came in occupancy, where 98 percent was made the target occupancy rate. With 300 of its 306 units full, the city's authority is now right there, Hohn said.
This comes after a Nov. 27, 2012 notice from the Office of Public Housing of HUD in Boston, in which the authority received a substandard designation in a Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) audit regarding the 2010-2011 fiscal year. The principal issue for that past time frame was the occupancy level among the authority's subsidized housing.
Housing Authority board Chairman James Canavan also noted improvements since Hohn and the new board took over.
"HUD loves this housing authority," he said.
But there's always room for growth.
Canavan said officials are "investigating" the possibility of increasing temperatures -- capped at 72 degrees since refurbishments at housing authority properties were undertaken in 2011 -- for "frail elderly."
"We've talked about doing something more for the frail elderly above and beyond what we're doing for everybody else," Canavan said.
Many tenants at the high rises on Spring and Ashland streets complain of cold they cannot address due to the temperature cap, which was accepted as part of a $3.2 million energy performance loan the housing authority received from HUD in 2011 to cover the cost of needed improvements to its various buildings -- particularly in the 40-plus-year-old high rises.
Hohn has maintained that tenants must adjust, though it may take time, as the grant "saved this agency" financially and it's now locked into the deal.
A recent petition against the cap gathered 117 signatures.
Board member Marie Harpin said state Rep. Gailanne Cariddi (D-North Adams) is bringing the cause to Boston. She'll lobby for a higher cap on room temperatures, perhaps 78 degrees, that could affect agencies across the commonwealth, according to Harpin.
Some high rise tenants say temperatures drop below the low mark of 68 degrees, and city firefighters responded last week to a frozen sprinkler pipe in Spring Street's high rise, Fire Chief Steve Meranti said.
A Jan. 9 temperature check of all five floors at Spring Street found all temperatures to be between 70 and 73 degrees, though.
In a note on housing authority heating given to the Transcript, Hohn said ventilation renovation at the high rises may be considered as a future project.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with the Transcript, she encouraged tenants to reach out to staff if they're feeling cold.
Housing Authority staff have provided residents with draft guards and other accommodations this winter.
"We have a 24-hour on-call maintenance staff," Hohn said. " ... We're more than happy to do the little things we can do to make [tenants] more comfortable."

I was bagging up some of my Marvels and when I get to the Annuals I usually have to go with bigger bags so two can fit into one with a board. Anyway I noticed that certain lesser known titles have lots of Annuals while others have none or just one. Does anyone know or have a theory why Marvel chose Annuals for a certain title and not others?
When Marvel started issuing Annuals with new content again in 1976 after several years without them titles such as Tarzan and John Carter had three Annuals even though the regular series only ran 28 issues. Eternals ran less than 20 issues yet it got an Annual but Captain Marvel, Nova, Kull, Ghost Rider and Spider-Woman all ran longer and never got one. There are also several long running series such as Dr. Strange, Master of Kung-Fu, Power-Man (later with Iron Fist), and Defenders who only got one annual in their whole run. Any thoughts?


text:
No, the title is not an example of my poor spelling, it's an oh-so-clever play on words by yours truly, for this past weekend was truthfully like summer. Weekends at the moment have slots reserved for walking Murphy because by the time we get back from work on a weekday it's already dark. The woods and the beach aren't much fun at night for a very sociable little dog. The forecast was supposed to be quite good, but it was way beyond anyones expectations I think, we were treated to glorious sunshine and warmth.
On the Friday evening I went with some friends down to a couple of new local bars to check them out and see just how much money sitting in nice surrounds would cost per drink. First off we headed out to the Sand Sifter at Godrevy which was really nice, if completely bereft of people. We had a quick drink there and then headed over to a new place in Hayle called Salt, which was really nice. Very laid-back and really nicely done out, which as anyone who's spent any time in Hayle will tell you, is quite something! My friends crashed at our house that night, none of them (me included) making it through the screening of Die Hard 4.0 which seemed like such a good idea at the time.
The next morning we took the world's gingerest spaniel down to see my friend and her dogs, and took them for a run and splash at Gunwalloe, down at Church Cove. It was so gorgeous, you'd swear it was summer and not officially the middle of winter.
Church Cove
The poor pup was absolutely shattered after this, and I'm reliably informed would barely move that evening. He's such a sorry sight if he's knackered.
Sunday came around and it was still sunny! I didn't think it could match up to the previous day but I was proved wrong, it was hotter again. This time Murph was joined by his three usual cohorts and our other friend's dog, a particularly speedy greyhound. I'm not sure how long we were down there, but I'd wager it was easily a couple of hours. The beach in question this time was Perranporth.
Perranporth Beach
That picture was taken where we sat for a glass of something cold outside the Watering Hole, which isa pub rather handily built on the beach itself. Once again Murphy made the most of it with plenty of dog-chasing, dog-sniffing and splashing about in rockpools and the river. It was all he could do to lift his head to look at me when I got in from training last night. It's easy to forget sometimes that he's still only 10 months old.
Thanks to Mother Nature for this sneak-peek at what summer may be like this year, I can't wait for barbecue season.

Eight tips to stay healthy this flu season
Flu season is upon us, bringing with it new strains of the virus. So now is the time to brush up on all the flu-fighting facts.
Here are eight wellness tips to help keep you and your family in tip-top shape – from what behaviors to avoid, to how homeopathic treatment can help:
1. Know your risk: Seniors, children under age 5 and pregnant women are at high-risk for developing complications from flu, as well as those with asthma, heart disease and weakened immune systems. Seek professional advice on your risk factors.
2. Wash your hands: Flu viruses are spread by droplets from infected people when they sneeze, blow their nose, or wipe secretions from their nose or eyes. Keep your hands out of your mouth, avoid rubbing your eyes and thoroughly wash your hands several times daily. Avoid alcohol and chemical-based hand sanitizers, instead opting for soap and water or a natural, essential-oil based hand cleanser.
3. Eat wisely: Foods containing vitamins C and E are believed to support the immune system. So stock up on sunflower seeds, almonds, citrus fruits, broccoli and green peppers. Limit your intake of concentrated sugar found in soda and candy, as it impairs immune response.
4. Sleep tight: Lack of sleep may profoundly inhibit your immune system. A full night's sleep will keep your body's natural defenses at optimum efficiency.
5. Stay hydrated: Staying hydrated will lessen your chances of coming down with flu. When you're under the weather, drink extra fluids to loosen mucus, keep your throat moist, and prevent dehydration caused by fever.
6. Nip it in the bud, safely: Reduce the duration and severity of flu-like symptoms by listening to your body when you feel achy or run down. Don't wait until you're "sick enough" to act.
If you're concerned about side effects, drowsiness and drug interactions, opt for a natural homeopathic medicine like Oscillococcinum, which is clinically supported. It has no known side effects and is safe for everyone ages 2 and up, including seniors.
Keeping something like this on hand can help you treat yourself sooner, allowing you to rest rather than trek to the store.
"The key is to watch for symptoms and be prepared to act quickly with a complication-free treatment," says Lawrence Rosen, MD in his newly published book "Treatment Alternatives for Children." Read more natural tips from his book at www.LawrenceRosenMD.com.
7. Exercise regularly: A recent study reported in the journal "Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise" found that modest exercise may prevent the elderly from getting colds and flu.
8. Seek help if you get worse: The flu can be potentially dangerous, leading to other infections like pneumonia. If your symptoms become significantly worse after the first three days of illness, especially if your fever subsides and then returns, seek medical attention.
More flu facts and health tips can be found at www.oscillo.com.
Help yourself stay healthy this season through prevention and by treating symptoms before they get the best of you.

Ordering supplies is an ongoing, necessary task in keeping up with a sewing business (or any business for that matter). At first, this task seemed like a big interruption from my flow (and still can at times) due to it's sometimes time-consuming nature. Fortunately, I have since found a few suppliers that I can return to again and again.
Kung Fu Cowgirl, by far, makes the ordering and receiving of supplies the most fun and easy ever! I found her etsy shop quite some time ago while looking for zippers. She has an incredible selection of zippers, in many colors and sizes, which she keeps well stocked. Her orders ship FAST, her shipping rates are excellent, and she is always super responsive to questions and requests for custom orders.
As a fun addition, she includes little treats in every package (like the big kelley green heart ring above! or the hedgehog and fruit friend below on my cork board). In her shop you will also find other supplies, as well as cute zippy pouches made with kawaii inspired fabrics, pocket mirrors, magnets and more. Check out Kung Fu Cowgirl (AND support a mom in being home with her kids)!
Thank you Kung Fu Cowgirl, for making ordering supplies so fun and easy!
