When did I join the Empire?

I am watching you. Stop using the airwaves to promote panic.

I was reading a Stephen King book this evening and a strange thing happened. In his introduction to Everything’s Eventual, he recounts a story about a radio station stunt he wanted to do to bring in my advertising dollars (he and his wife, Tabitha, own two radio stations in Bangor, Maine). It was going to be along the lines of the War of the Worlds. He says he never did it, to which I thought:

Thats a good thing because that would be a terrible misuse of government authorized air waves, it could incite panic, as it did with the War of the Worlds, and is shortsighted, selfish and myopic thing to do.

Of course, King’s reasoning had nothing to do with a concern for the public welfare, nor was it because he didn’t want to incur the wrath of the FCC. He failed in his PR mission because he just didn’t think what he wrote for the stunt was good enough.

Now, I stand by my thoughts about his stunt (seriously, in a country so paranoid that people try to shoot up pizza places because they read crap on Four Chan and Alex Jones exists, this would cause way too much havoc) but this is not a new response for me.

Not too long ago, I was out and people were watching a movie. It matters not what movie it was nor where it was being shown but it was a bootleg version of the movie and I had to leave because I felt badly about the copyright issues around watching stolen art.

I am not sure what the two really have to do with each other but while intellectually, I stand by both positions, I see that I am no longer the rebel I thought I once was. Then again, maybe I never was. Who knew I would one day join the Empire?

WTF, Florida?

If you are upset about a 10 year old boy with Autism being arrested, hauled away in handcuffs and forced to spend a night in juvie, well, you should be.

If you don’t know about it, you can read about it here.

The mother has asked people to write or call (be respectful) Okeechobee officials. If you do not live in Okeechobee but live in Florida, you should reach out to the people who represent you in the state House & Senate. I would say to contact Governor Voldemort but well, he’s evil.

If you do not live in Florida but still want to call someone, call your Congressperson and Senators. This school district gets federal funding, too. I think they do.

You can reach all three at 202-225-2131. Now, that is officially the House number but it is easier to get through and you can get both sides of the Hill. You can look here as well: http://whoismyrepresentative.com/ or you can text your zip code to 520-200-2223 and get everyone who represents you.

PS. to this story. I just received this:

“Good Evening, I recently saw Luanne Haygood story on your page and wanted to share that this also happened to another kid last month in Florida. Only it was Orange County and the kid is a 14yr old Autistic teen with no history of behavioral problem who was also assaulted by the school VP and school resource officers. https://sso.cmgdigital.com/static/server.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wftv.com%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fparents-of-orange-county-student-with-aspergers-question-schools-handling-of-sons-outburst%2F499498721

What really should scare you

This week, the United States carried out air strikes against Syria. This was in response to the dropping of sarin gas on a rebel held town. I will get to that but I have something else I want to write about first. You see, a number of people I know are worried that the U.S. air strikes are going to lead to war with Russia (it won’t) and are upset with me. While that is their right, their fears are misguided and are, in my opinion, in the wrong part of the world.

If war is what you want to avoid, you need to be looking at Asia. During the campaign, President Donald Trump made a lot of statements about China and its access to the South China Sea. During Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s confirmation hearings, he echoed those statements. This did not go over well with China. That government went as far as to say they would send nuclear weapons our way should be continue to meddle in their affairs. This is clearly scary and had me up at night worried about the possibility of war with China. When I was getting myself all worried, I found the graphic

This is a map of where China would send its nuclear weapons, should it want to bomb us.

This is from a Chinese magazine. Now I am encouraged by what looked to be a good meeting between President Xi and Trump so maybe we have come back from the brink of nuclear war with them but then you have Kim Jung Un.

Kim is unstable. That is not my opinion, it is pretty much everyone’s opinion. He has developed nuclear weapons and seems hell bent on developing a missile that can hit, well, us. If he can’t get it that far, he has Japan and South Korea to hit. This is incredibly scary because of how crazy Kim is. China could do something but they a, don’t want a unified Korea and b, don’t want more refugees crossing their border. Trump has made statements that we should give South Korea nuclear weapons, because more nuclear weapons always makes sense. This is a scary situation made worse by an American president with no real foreign policy. For his part, Tillerson responded to a missile test by saying, “We’ve talked enough about North Korea.” What the hell does that mean?

Speaking of Tillerson, we are now back to Syria. During the campaign, and other the last few years, Trump has said we should do nothing in Syria. Last week, Tillerson said that the fate of Bashar al Assad is up to the people of Syria. Several days later, 86 people are killed with Sarin gas. Many people believe that Assad was under the impression that he had the blessings of the current White House to do whatever the hell he wanted to his people. That is why I think the strike against the airfield was not a bad idea.

The big question is what happens next. One thing is sure, it won’t be war with Russia but what happens in Asia is anyone’s guess and that is the scary thing.

What just happened?

Last week, life was just so simple. Donald Trump was a narcissistic sociopath and I disagreed with everything he did. This week, he is still a narcissistic sociopath but I agree with something he did, what the hell happened?

English: Brasilia - The president of the Syria...

English: Brasilia – The president of the Syrian Arab Republic, Bashar Al-Assad during a visit to Congress Português do Brasil: Brasília – O presidente da República Árabe Síria, Bashar Al-Assad, em visita ao Congresso Nacional (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Syrian President Bashar al Assad decided to up the game in the civil war in his country by dropping Sarin gas on Tuesday. People say, “That doesn’t make sense, he is winning. Why would he do this?” Well, there are some ideas as to why Assad would gas his own people. None of them are good reasons but there are some ideas.

This is from a piece in the New York Times

“Militarily, there is no need,” said Bente Scheller, the Middle East director of the Berlin-based Heinrich Böll Foundation. “But it spreads the message: You are at our mercy. Don’t ask for international law. You see, it doesn’t protect even a child.”

This is not the first time Assad has gassed his people. More from the NY Times piece:

The fall of Idlib led to another turning point: Russia’s full-on entry into the conflict, adding its firepower to the Syrian government’s. Russia said it entered to fight the Islamic State, but directed most of its strikes at places farther west, like Idlib, where rival insurgents more urgently threatened government forces.

Chlorine attacks continued — investigators from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the United Nations concluded the government had carried out at least three in 2014 and 2015 — with little international reaction.

Now, I am in the strange position of supporting Trump and military action. Liberal friends of mine say, “Yeah, this is like Iraq.” There are a number of reasons that this is not like Iraq. In the first place, we bombed an airfield. If it worked, it knocked out a way for Assad to bomb more people. In the second place, the Iraq invasion was misguided for a number of reasons and that country wasn’t six years into a violent civil war that had caused one of the largest refugee crises of our time. There are five million refugees because of this.

To equate this conflict with other things going on is silly. To say what we did was a “war crime” is crazy. I do not support Trump but I support what he did in Syria last night. I suspect hell is freezing over.

When a loved one dies in the state of Kansas, his or her estate must often pass through a process known as “probate.” The probate process can be confusing, so it’s best to consult with a qualified probate attorney if you are involved in a family or friend’s probated estate.

Probate Basics

Probate is a court-managed legal process often required to settle an individual’s estate after he or she dies. During the probate procedure, the deceased individual’s debts are settled and his or her assets are transferred to heirs. If the deceased person left a valid will behind, property is distributed according to the instructions included in the will. If the person left no valid will, however, then his or her assets will be distributed to heirs according to Kansas law.

The probate process also involves an executor or administrator, which is an individual who has been named in the will and/or appointed by the court and given responsibility for overseeing the administration of the estate. In most cases, the probate process includes the following steps:

  • Filing of the petition to initiate the probate process.
  • Notice of the estate is sent to heirs.
  • Filing of the petition to appoint an executor or administrator.
  • The estate administrator or executor takes inventory of estate assets and debts.
  • Estate assets are sold, if necessary.
  • Estate debts are paid.
  • Any remaining property is distributed to heirs.
  • The estate is closed.

Hiring a Lawyer

The probate process is often lengthy, costly and complicated, especially if the will is contested by an heir. Hiring a qualified attorney who has experience dealing with probate in Kansas can help to expedite the process and ensure that it is completed properly. A probate lawyer can also help you avoid probate for your own estate in the future through the use of various estate planning tools, such as trusts.

Contact the Law Offices of Amy Vinton

We have many years of experience managing the estates of deceased individuals in Kansas, and we can help you navigate this complex process and resolve your loved one’s estate as quickly and painlessly as possible.

A while back there was a discussion about building compact pedigree charts in Microsoft Excel. These allow us to quickly have an overview for comparison, especially with DNA matches. I took mine a step further and added locations, as well as the statistically expected amount of shared DNA from each branch.

Pedigree to 4th great with x chart and origins

The pink boxes in the chart indicate the X-chromosome inheritance pattern, which allows me to quickly determine if an X match could be from that particular ancestor.

After the colorized birthplace pedigree craze this week, I decided to integrate the fun visual element of color into my location column.

If you want to try one in Excel for yourself, you can find a blank template here. There are several methods to save the image and I use a simple one. In the Excel toolbar, I click “view” and then uncheck gridlines and then snag the image with the Microsoft Snipping Tool that is built in on a PC.

As a reminder, when you publish information, please consider privacy. The only living person except me in these charts is my mom. My mom is absolutely ok with being part of my genealogical demonstrations and I have her explicit permission. Your family members may not want to be included. Please do not share information about living people without their permission.

Have fun!

300-Year-Old Shoe Behind Wall of English College Was Meant As Protection From Malicious Spirits

(Read the article on one page)

Workers discovered a shoe this month behind a wall at a Cambridge University college in England that was probably meant to protect inhabitants of the building from mischievous or malicious spirits. The shoe is about 300 years old, and the workers found it in St. John’s College behind a wall in the Senior Common Room, a historic spot.

The Senior Common Room was originally the residence of the college’s master and was built between 1598 and 1602. However, a press release from Cambridge News, the university’s news service, state that the shoe was probably placed behind the wall panels during renovations in the 17 th or 18 th centuries.

Shoes and other items were considered amulets against evil and malevolent spirits in more superstitious times, the press release says. Discoveries of similar items have been made at Hampton Court Palace and Ely Cathedral.

Workers laying cables made the find August 1, the birthday of an academic and ghost story writer at Cambridge by the name of M.R. James. He often began his eerie tales by having characters discover antique objects, releasing spirits with ill-intent from the realm of the dead.

“No such misfortune has befallen St John's since the shoe was uncovered, however, which is welcome news for the college, since these days the Senior Combination Room is where many of its academic staff have their lunch,” the press release states.

The worn-out shoe is a size 6 in today’s measurements and it has a hole in the left heel. The most common type of amulet was the shoe, the press release states, but many other types of objects were placed in wall as protective charms. Other objects known to have been embedded behind walls include horses’ skulls, dead cats and “witch bottles” with human matter such urine and hair.

Another shot of the shoe (St. John’s College photo)

Amulets were not just embedded in walls. People of the times also placed them in roofs and beneath floors.

The Cambridge Archaeological Unit is analyzing the shot. Richard Newman of the unit is quoted in the press as saying:

“It was positioned between the chimney breast and the window, which is exactly the sort of location where you would expect to find a shoe being used in this way. Given its location, it is very likely that it was there to play a protective role for the master of the college. It may even have been one of his old shoes."

“This is one area where archaeological finds are quite important. There is not a lot of documentary evidence about people's beliefs in ritual magic in the past, and often the sources that we have are very negative and disparaging about such practices. These discoveries are important because they give us a material record of what people may have believed at the time.”

The press release says the shoe may have played a role in auspicious events that happened in the room, including, in the 1620s the betrothal of English King Charles I to his intended bride, Henrietta Maria. Also, in World War II, the allies planned part of the D-Day landings on the coast of Normandy region of France in the room, the press release states.

Move over, NYC -- Newark's the cheaper option for Amazon HQ2, study finds

[, Karen Yi, February 9, 2018]

The Newark Community Foundation commissioned a study to look at how Newark stacks up to other top contenders in the eastern U.S. Anderson Economic Group, an independent Chicago-based research group focused on economics and public policy, came back with good news for city leaders.

"Among those sites with access to by far the largest pool of talented workers for HQ2, we have identified the lowest-cost option: Newark," the report said.

In October, Anderson ranked all the metro areas that submitted proposals to Amazon. Their latest study compared Newark to the five high-ranking eastern cities: New York, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. It analyzed the cost of doing business in each metro area and the available pool of potential workers.

About Modern Kitchen Design

One of the few home improvements that not only add value to your home as well as functionality is modern kitchen designs. Whether you are simply doing a minor upgrade or completely re-furbishing your kitchen the end result will be enjoyed and used every day. Up-to-date kitchens are in great demand and are very popular nowadays. When you are planning either a complete makeover or simply want to enhance your kitchens use there are certain features that should definitely not be overlooked.

Technologically advanced appliances are some of the most popular things you will find in an up-to-date kitchen. Hobs with their smooth lines and cooking surfaces not only look good but are so simple to clean as well. The advancements made in refrigerators' and freezers and with the different options available such as; compartments that can self-adjust according to the specific contents of a given section. New convection style ovens that are usually self-cleaning and can handle virtually any cooking scenario, they also have a more functional design than the older ones. You will notice that most of the appliances in today's modern kitchen are made from a stainless steel finish, that is not to say that they are not available in a variety of colours and no longer restricted to the still popular black and white.

Something else you will always find with kitchen designs is the simplistic lines yet tasteful designs of the furniture. Modern kitchen furniture has very few if any curves and certainly no unnecessary frills involved. This results in a kitchen that has a very clean look to it to which the appliances lend themselves too. Kitchen cabinets will follow the same simplistic lines which increase the functionality. A modern kitchen design has more emphasis on the kitchens use rather than the useless add-ons that you can find in some kitchens. These clean looking modern kitchens will not have so many items sitting on the worktops; they are usually stashed away inside the cabinets.

Probably one of the things that stand out the most in a modern kitchen style is the simplicity of the decor. Although colours will be down to the individual's personal choice and can vary, there will normally be only one or two colours involved. A kitchen with a lot of different colours tends to look too "busy", so the use of only one or two colours gives it a clean uncluttered look. Most people going for the modern feel will simply use just one colour and this will be reflected in the appliances as well. Black is still the more popular colour you will find in modern kitchens but as already stated this is down to the individuals own preferences.

The space themed strategy mobile game Star Command made its debut with the latest Humble Mobile Bundle which we covered a few weeks ago but if you missed that sale or didn’t want all the other games you can just get Star Command on Google Play for $2.99. May seem a steep price comparatively but the reviews on it have all been excellent and it is shaping up to be a bombshell of a hit that you should jump on right away.

If you don’t know what Star Command is about, you basically are building and commanding your own spaceship (or starship as they call it). You control all aspects from physically building your ship, hiring and managing crew, and exploring various planets to battle other alien races. The amount of control you have and the amount of detail in Star Command is staggering. Building your ship is literally all up to you and you can design it however you want, crew members can be leveled up to gain new skillsets and there are over ten different alien species to discover and interact with. In addition to that your starships have four different base hulls to choose from and you can focus either on engineering, tactics or science in your gameplay style. You are not limited to just one starship either, you can build and control a fleet as you take on everything. Star Command is incredibly detailed and offers lots of replayability and for the price that is a steal, get it now!

If you were around a PC in the 90s, you had to have played Transport Tycoon. It was one of the original simulation games, and one of the biggest too. Well, developer Chris Sawyer himself is now bringing this classic in a touch-friendly avatar to the Play Store in two weeks.

Transport Tycoon is an isometric 3D game that starts off at the beginning of the 20th century. The automobile and airplane industries were in its infancy, and most of transport was reliant on trains and ships. And from there, you have to start building a corporate empire to eventually own the biggest transport company in the world.

The goal is to transport passengers and goods by road, rail, water or air (there are 150 vehicle types and 49 different scenarios) and be rewarded for your service. The more efficient you are, the better your rating is, the more money you earn — simple economics.

Sawyer hasn’t done much to change the graphics of the original game, create back in 1994, so it’s not much of a looker. But he has focussed on a smooth touch experience. if history is anything to go by, the gameplay should have you so hooked that you don’t even notice it.

A little girl invited her mother to attend her elementary school's
first teacher-parent conference.
To the little girl's dismay,
she said she would go.
This would be the first time that her classmates
and teacher met her mother
and she was embarrassed by her .appearance.

Although she was a beautiful woman,
there was a severe scar that covered nearly the entire right side of her face.
The girl never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar.
At the conference, the people were impressed by the kindness and natural beauty
of her mother despite the scar,
but the little girl was still embarrassed and hid herself from everyone.

She did, however, get within earshot of a conversation
between her mother and her teacher,
and heard them speaking.
"How did you get the scar on your face?" the teacher asked.
The mother replied, "When my daughter was a baby,
she was in a room that caught on fire.
Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control,
so I went in.

As I was running toward his crib,
I saw a beam coming down and I placed myself over her trying to shield her.
I was knocked unconscious but fortunately,
a fireman came in and saved both of us."
She touched the burned side of her face.
"This scar will be permanent, but to this day,
I have never regretted doing what I did."

At this point, the little girl came out running towards her mother with tears in her eyes.
She hugged her and felt an overwhelming sense of the sacrifice
that her mother had made for her.
She held her hand tightly for the rest of the day.

Discretionary Housing Payments and Discretionary Assistance Fund

Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP)

DHP is a payment that you may be entitled to, at the discretion of Isle of Anglesey County Council. The fund is intended to provide extra help with housing costs on top of your Housing Benefit.

Who does it help?

If you are entitled to Housing Benefit or the Housing Costs element of Universal Credit you will be able to apply for a Discretionary Housing Payment. Please be aware that you are not guaranteed to be awarded the fund.

The fund is aimed at supporting individuals, the fund has been increased by the UK Government to help with the Welfare Reform’s benefit changes such as the Benefit Cap and other Housing Benefit changes.

Isle of Anglesey County Council cannot help everyone so decisions about priority have to be made.

What can discretionary housing payments cover?

DHP may be granted to pay for a shortfall between your housing benefit and rent. This may include when housing benefit has been reduced because of:

  • The ‘bedroom tax’
  • The benefit cap
  • Non-dependant deduction being applied (eg for grown up sons or daughters living with you).
  • Changes to the local housing allowance
  • Shared accommodation rate for single people

You could get a DHP to pay for the start up costs of a new tenancy, such as a rent deposit, rent in advance or removal costs. Anglesey Council may also help to prevent you from becoming homeless and in some situations, payments can be made to help with rent arrears.

What help doesn’t it provide?

Discretionary Housing Payment will not be awarded to cover any increases in rent due to arrears or any payment recovery payments from your Housing Benefit. It cannot be used to help to cover Job Centre Plus (JCP) sanctions or a reduction in benefit.

How much does it pay?

Isle of Anglesey County Council will decide whether to award a Discretionary Housing Payment, how much to award, and for how long. Awards can be one off payments, short term or indefinite awards.

Appealing against the decisions

If you are not happy with the outcome of your DHP application or award, you can ask your Anglesey Council to review its decision. This will be followed with a reviewed decision alongside a letter to explain the decision.

How to make a claim

You can make a claim by making an appointment with the Revenues and Benefits team on Tel: 01248 752226 / 752658, email or visit Isle of Anglesey County Council Revenues and Benefit Department, Council Offices, Llangefni.

Alternatively, you can make an appointment at J E O’Toole Centre, Holyhead, with a welfare rights advisor.

Discretionary Assistance Fund (DAF)

As of April 2013, The Discretionary Assistance Fund (DAF) in Wales replaces parts of the Social Fund previously run by the Department of Work and Pensions which was known as ‘crisis loans’ or ‘community care grants’.

New claims will need to be made to DAF for emergencies or basic items.

The fund offers grant payments or support for two purposes:

EAP: Emergency Assistance Payments to provide you with help in an emergency or when there is an immediate threat to your, or someone in your family’s health or wellbeing

IAP: Individual Assistance Payments to help you, or someone you care for to live independently in the community and prevent the need for institutional care.

How to apply for an EAP or IAP

You can apply by phone, online or by post

Call the freephone number - 0800 859 5924 - which is free from landlines or call 033 0101 5000 which is charged at a local rate.

For information on how to complete apply visit Money Made Clear Wales.

Play Fish Catcher game online for free today

Do you think penguins are cute, and do you also like to play a fun online game? If you are in the same mood as us today, you probably would like to play our free Fish Catcher game online.

How to play the free Fish Catcher game online

Use mouse to move the penguin and press the mouse to jump the penguin to the river and release the fish. If the penguin try to catch the fish you can move the penguin up and down by mouse move. Try to complete before the time elapses.

How much fish to a Penguin eat

According to penguins eat small fish, some more than others. Only about 4 percent of the chinstrap penguin's diet consists of fish, their diet is mainly composed by Antarctic Krill, siverfish and glacial squid. About 90 percent of an emperor penguin's diet is fish. The little penguins group is made up by the little blue penguin and the northern little penguin. This group mainly feed on fish, squid and other small sea animals, the main difference with other groups is that they are shallow hunters not going deeper than 6 feet.

How do Penguins catch Fish

Penguins are some of the most interesting birds and, while there are many different varieties of penguins, most eat the same things and about 2 pounds of food a day. According to penguins catch and eat fish with powerful beaks and backward-facing barbs of their tongues. Penguins almost never chew their food, as they have no teeth other than these spines used for holding the food in place. This is extremely helpful when catching small foods like krill. To catch krill, a penguin typically jumps or slides into the water, then uses its beak to gather the krill like a net. Penguins get squid to eat less often than either krill or fish because squid don't frequent arctic waters. Penguins swim quickly after the squid, and catch them with their mouth and then the penguin swallows the squid whole.

Congratulations Rachel Brooks-Cardon our November Bride of the Month!

November 2013: Rachel Brooks-Cardon!

Rachel is such a delight to work with and all of us at Ann Elizabeth couldn’t be happier to feature her wedding this month. She talk's about how much her mother really helped in the planning of details that made Rachel's wedding day truly timeless!

Bekka: Rachel so now that the wedding and honeymoon are over how is married life?
Rachel: Well-married life so far has just been hanging with my best friend all the time. I mean we spent basically all our time together before the wedding, but now there are constant sleepovers and a heck of a lot less stress to worry about! We really couldn’t be happier. We share the same sense of humor and I never get tired of laughing with him. He’s my everything any problems that arise just seem so much more bearable having him with me. My family has been the greatest support to us and he’s the best addition we could have ever asked for! I found my other half and I’m shocked I can look at him and know he’s mine forever. If married life continues to get better from here, I would definitely say it’s my best decision yet! I highly recommend it!

Bekka: We loved your invitation; the lace overlay gave such a soft romantic feel. Did you know what you were looking for when dreaming up your invitation?
Rachel: Well I didn’t have an exact image in my head walking in, but surely enough my mom did! She really helped me decide a timeless look that had a real “wow” factor to it. With the help we received at Ann Elizabeth I really got the invitation I always wanted. I loved the lace over our picture because it just seemed so elegant and unique. I had been receiving so many wedding invitations from friends and family prior to our wedding and I have to admit they all seemed so similar to one another. I felt our wedding invitation stood out and it’s something to really remember. I loved it and it turned out perfect.

Bekka:  What is your favorite part of your invitation and was there any feature of your invitation that people complimented you on most?
Rachel: Well the whole presentation of our invitation gave us compliment after compliment. People LOVED IT. I still get compliments on it from time to time. People also loved the single picture we put in with it. I couldn’t just pick one thing that I loved most. I really felt every decision and detail we put into it made it the perfect invitation for us.

Bekka:  Some brides take inspiration from their invitation and use it in the decor of the venue. Did you incorporate anything from your invitation?
Rachel: Oh for sure. Most of my wedding had this elegant Gatsby feel to it. I used the lace on my dress to help design my invitation and then the lace became a central theme. I used the exact same lace in my invitations as the background for all signs around the house. The table clothes we’re lacy and elegant and even my bridal book was lace. My wedding was spot on with the invitation. I really don’t think it could have been better.

Bekka:  Do you feel that your invitations set the tone for your event?
Rachel: The invitation set the perfect mood. Our wedding was a semi formal event and when people received our announcement they were calling me asking me if they needed to go and rent tuxes for the event! We had a good laugh about it, but some people really did show up dressed to the nines and it was a blast.

Bekka:  What advice would you give to brides who are looking to gather inspiration for their wedding invitations?
Rachel: I would tell them to find what they love and run with it. I only started out knowing that I wanted a lace dress that was unique and timeless. Once I found the dress I knew I wanted to plan a wedding that would match the feel of my dress. From there we planned the invitations and it all started to fall into place. The best advise I received from friends and family was- it is your wedding, well, and the grooms, but it’s really YOUR wedding! Make it your own, choose what you want, and love your choices!

Bekka: Is there a lesson you learned through your creative process in dreaming up your invitations you’d like to share?
Rachel: Honestly, I really have to thank my mom for the invitation blueprint. She was the one that suggested it and I fell in love with it. We worked out the details together and made it perfect. I’m not sure if I would have thought it up all on my own. I’m so glad I had a mom that not only had great ideas, but also helped me create my perfect wedding. So the lesson learned is that having someone close to you helping plan isn’t a bad thing at all. If they want the best for you, I feel that two heads (or more) is better than one! And it makes it so much more fun.

Bekka: How would you describe your wedding day; anything unexpected (good or bad) or did everything go perfectly as planned.
Rachel: We wished we would have had slightly better weather in the evening at the reception, but a little rain never hurt anybody! Everything went as planned as far as I know. I think the only thing I would have changed was the in-law drama! Oh a wedding wouldn't be a wedding without some drama, would it? All in good fun, the funniest joke I heard around the time of the wedding was “What’s the difference between In-laws and out-laws? -Out-laws are wanted!” I guess without the drama we wouldn’t have the funny stories to tell to our kids in the future! Nonetheless, it still ended up being our perfect day. It does go by fast though. It’s just such a crazy exciting day that I swear Shane and I didn’t even eat till we got to Park City that night! It might have gone by in a blur, but it sure was an unforgettable day. The friends and family that came made it such a special occasion for us and I got everything I ever wanted. I really appreciate all the help and support that we received and I loved every moment of it.

Bekka: Rachel thanks for taking the time to talk with me and share the details of your beautiful wedding!

2013 Wedding Trend: Lace

2013 Wedding Trend: Lace

We’ve seen this trend all year “Lace” and it is showing up everywhere from the clothes we wear to the decor we buy for our homes. At Ann Elizabeth we are privileged to create beautiful pieces of art thru our invitations and lace has been, and continues to be, a soft yet elegant way for our clients to express themselves on paper. We also love seeing how other vendors in the wedding industry are using lace so I thought I’d share some of my favorites.

The first invitation set is Reaback-Sutton. This is a beautiful combination where textured and metallic papers meet letterpress printing and complete the look with a lace paper overlay along with a lace band to hold the reply card giving this invitation an extra touch of elegance.

This lovely bouquet was made by Calie Rose Floral and Event Design. Their bride Mandie Maughan-Krause is featured with her bouquet in the Utah Valley Bride Magazine and was on the cover of the Spring 2013 issue. Calie Rose did an amazing job designing her bouquet taking her colors of blush, cream and light mocha then adding the soft touch of lace complementing the lace bodice of her wedding gown (purchased from Veronica Michaels). Kristina Curtis Photography really captures Mandie’s romantic vintage theme throughout her wedding and you can see more pictures from Kristina in Utah Valley Bride Magazine.

We had the pleasure of being invited to create the invitation suite for Utah Bride Blog fall editorial shoot in 2012. So I wanted to share how Ann came up with the creation of the “Leather and Lace” invitation and how last fall her inspiration was already setting the lace trend for 2013! After a couple days of brainstorming ideas Ann woke in the middle of the night with the thought of “Leather and Lace” and quickly sketched out a horse head idea with lace behind it.  When creativity hits you write it down so you can remember it later!

Using straps of leather tied around an invitation with a lace layer and a horse head monogram applied directly to leather gave this unique invitation a “balance between hard and soft elements.” Keeping the flow of the theme she added a lace envelope liner for the RSVP. Then to remind guest of the invitation she used a touch of lace, and a horse head tag tied with leather on the menu completing this invitation suite!

Ann Elizabeth is feeling krafty

Happy Tuesday!

Today, I am ecstatic to share with you yet another fabulous inspiration board surrounding:

Love, love, love this paper! For those of you unfamiliar with kraft, it's known as a more casual paper, but as of late has risen to more semi-formal occasions. It's typically a brown, natural-looking paper with little darker flecks in it. Kraft can be bleached to be (almost) white, but the most popular form is brown.

Prepare to be amazed by what you're about to see. Really. You'll see how the casual nature of kraft is transformed to be something completely different. Kraft can be so versatile: from cutesy and informal to natural and elegant.

There is one way to dress up kraft that we absolutely love here at Ann Elizabeth... and that is lace. Lace is (in our humble opinion) such a gorgeous way to "pretty up" the comfort of kraft. See for yourself in our inspiration board below!

Whether kraft is the star of your wedding invitation ensemble or if there's simply a kiss of kraft, it's sure to be a success.

Are you thinking of using kraft as part of your wedding, party, or other celebration? Tell us about it in the comments below. We love to hear how everyone uses kraft in such diverse ways.

That's all for today- thanks for stopping by.

Don't forget to share this inspiration board with your friends! Tweet it, Pin it, Facebook it.

ISSGAP soil science training survey

The ISSGAP (Interactions between Soil Science and Geophysics in Archaeological Prospection) network is examining how all things 'geo' in archaeology come together: geochemistry, geophysics, geoarchaeology, and a measure of geology and pedology too. We first met on Crete in 2015, recruited more members at ICAP in Warsaw in the same year, and will be having a second workshop this summer. We would like some information from the community of practitioners, researchers and students that use geophysical surveys in archaeology about how much they use soil science in their work, and what sorts of gaps in training there might be. To that end, if you are a producer or consumer of geophysical data, could you please fill out this short, anonymous survey about your experience of geophysics and soil science? This will help us build up a picture of where the gaps are and help us develop things like workshops and conferences to fill those gaps.

Located at 403 14th Street SE in Orange City, the firm specializes in designing and fabricating advanced composite structures for commercial aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles and medical equipment manufacturers. The company said its recent growth has been driven by several contracts from aerospace suppliers to produce carbon composite structures for the new 787 Dreamliner airplane. The increased manufacturing space will allow Quatro to take on additional new business opportunities for other manufacturers.

According to Steve Roesner, President and COO of Quatro, the expansion will add approximately 45,000 square feet and nearly double the current size of Quatro's corporate and manufacturing facilities. It will also create 99 new jobs in Iowa within 36 months. Construction is scheduled to start this fall and be completed in June 2013.

"Quatro's dramatic growth is a direct reflection our employees," Roesner said. "Thanks to their hard work and innovative thinking, we have been able to achieve something special."

As an incentive, the expansion was made possible, in part, by $1.5 million in direct financial assistance from the Iowa Economic Department Authority. "We are honored to be selected as one the recipients of funding support from IEDA," Roesner said.

Mexican Brisket Recipe Brisket Tacos

A few posts back, I told you how I was going to make all the food for my impending birthday. Well, I did, and it was damn good. Brisket tacos were the main part of the meal.

Here is my recipe for the brisket.

1 5lb brisket (should feed up to 10)
1/2 a small bottle of teriyaki
Garlic powder
Mexican oregano
Seasoned salt (with no msg)
A pinch of Red pepper
1/2 a pot of coffee
1 small can of chipotle in adobo sauce pureed
1/2 a jar of hot sauce (I use El Phoenix)

Preheat the oven to 250. Take the brisket and put it fat side down in a large roasting pan. Evenly coat the beef with garlic, oregano, seasoned salt. Turn brisket over fat side up. Pour in Teryaki, coffee, chipotle, hot sauce, and red pepper. Cook covered on 250 for 7 hours.

Once the brisket is done, remove the fat. It should easily come off. Next let cool a bit and chop or slice against the grain of the meat. Put the meat back in the sauce, and serve with corn or flour tortillas. Add your favorite garnishes such as white onion, cilantro, red sauce, green sauce, Mexican crema, and whatever cheese you like.

Sony UK’s Fergal Gara mentions Vita price drop

During an interview with Eurogamer with regards to Sony’s latest hardware iteration for the PlayStation 3, Sony UK boss Fergal Gara quipped about an upcoming price cut for the PlayStation Vita.

A lot of people are wondering about a Vita price cut. What’s your thinking there?

Fergal Gara: We always aim to establish price cuts. So the question is not so much if, but when. We won’t have an across the board price down this Christmas. But what you will see us doing is work very hard with our retail partners to add value to the product to make it more compelling. Even this week there are some tremendously attractive bundles out there, for example wi-fi Vita plus LittleBigPlanet at the £200 price point. There’s the wi-fi product again plus FIFA 13 plus Uncharted Golden Abyss plus LittleBigPlanet at not much above the £200 price point. We will be working that very hard over the coming weeks as more and more software arrives.

So a price cut will have to wait until next year then?

Fergal Gara: Yes.

Have you thought about timing on that?

Fergal Gara: That’s still under discussion.

So yeah, if you’ve been waiting for a price drop for the PlayStation, better keep that money locked up until next year or at least until the game that you’ve been waiting for comes out.

Compared to the 3DS, the Vita’s sales can simply be called dismal but of course, there’s a lot of factors to consider like price of the console and games, availability of hot as pancake titles, etc.  One thing however that I think could bring back Sony well into the game is if they  are successful in bringing the Vita-PS3 market together with the rumored 2-in-1 bundles for both consoles.  That is however, wishful thinking up until they officially launch it.

Re: EpDis: The Deconstruction Of Falling Stars

Rewatching that segment just now, and there's discussion of the events of the telepath crisis that are seen in season five, and a bare mention that that crisis could be considered to have begun the path that eventually led to the telepath war. But there's no mention of the destruction of B5 in it.

Welcome to the all new Baby Names Plus!

Responsive Graphic

We have upgraded our database, upgraded our servers and we now feature a responsive design.This means that you can now get the same great baby name information on your desktop, tablet and smartphone.

Our Baby Naming Tips

If choosing a family name is important to you, but there are none that you particularly care for, consider using your child's middle name to follow the tradition.

Try to avoid names that could be mispronounced or misspelled easily. There is nothing more frustrating to a kid than having to correct people, like his or her teacher, every time they say the name for the first time. Or having to say "no, that's spelled with an 'I' not a 'Y'" a thousand times! Plus, if you like to buy things with your child's name on them, you'll never be able to find anything with the correct spelling unless it's specially made for you.

Remember that "cool" names that seem unique today may not be so great when your child is 25.

When the search is narrowed down to a few names that you really like, check the meaning of the names chosen to help make your final decision.

Finally, since parents must choose the first and middle name, they tend to think of how the first and middle name sound together when making their decision. But that is not how the child will be addressed on a daily basis. So, say the names out loud using first and last name, which is how the child will almost always be addressed. For example, if it the baby name begins or ends with the same letter as the first letter of your last name, it may sound awkward.

Some interesting gadgets to check out after CES 2018

Technology is constantly evolving and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the latest technology innovations. The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) just finished for 2018. With it comes a whole new slate of gadgets and technology to purchase. Here are some of the most interesting to check out.

olloclip CORE LENS SET

It fits the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 and their plus versions for $100.

Sarki 10-inch LCD Writing Tablet

As the world around us embraces the digital world, leaving notes for family and friends is still very much a paper-based affair. But this is starting to change thanks to the Sarki writing tablet. With it, you can write digital notes to family and friends and after the note has been seen, you can reuse it. It has over 100,000 uses in it and comes with a dedicated stylus. It’s available for $27.

Technology might be ubiquitous but there’s no denying that some tech and devices make life easier. The devices reviewed here change the way we shop, consume energy, and write notes just to name a few. Some are fancy while others are simple. But there’s no denying that they’re worth picking up.

BAM is considering taking chefs to Hyderabad (pic)

CHEFS may have to board the flight to Hyderabad, India for the World Badminton Championships on Aug 10-16. Bao Chunlai beat Chen Long 16-21, 21-10, 21-16 at the Asian Championships.

Their mission in India will be to prepare local food for the national shuttlers, a step the BA of Malaysia (BAM) is considering after the Lee Chong Wei’s food poisoning experience at last month’s India Open, also in Hyderabad.

Chong Wei, the World No 1, blamed an upset stomach for his first round loss to China’s Chen Long.

BAM president Datuk Nadzmi Salleh said the association will provide the best for the Hyderabad-bound players.

“It has always been our priority to provide the best for the players when they are abroad. We do that all the time,” said Nadzmi recently.
“Chong Wei is always careful about what he eats when overseas. The association is looking at all avenues before the trip to India but will decide later.”

Meanwhile, Bao Chunlai of China captured his second international title of the year at the Asian Championships in Suwon, South Korea yesterday.

Chunlai, who won the German Open in March, beat compatriot Chen Long 16-21, 21-10, 21-16 in 55 minutes.

China went on to win two more titles through Zhu Lin and Ma Jin-Wang Xiaoli in the women’s singles and doubles, respectively.

Indonesia’s Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan, the World No 1, beat Korea’s Ko Sung Hyun-Yoo Yeon Seong 21-18, 26-24 to win their first men’s doubles title since November.

The Indonesian Olympic and World champions’ last title was the French Open.

Korea won its only title in the mixed doubles when Lee Yong Dae-Lee Hyo Jung outplayed teammates Yoo Yeon Seong-Kim Min Jung 21-12, 21-15.

RESULTS (All Finals) — Men’s singles: Bao Chunlai (Chn) bt Chen Long (Chn) 16-21, 21-10, 21-16.

Doubles: Markis Kido-Hendra Setiawan (Ina) bt Ko Sung Hyun-Yoo Yeon Seong (Kor) 21-18, 26-24.

Women’s singles: Zhu Lin (Chn) bt Xie Xingfang (Chn) 21-11, 21-10.

Doubles: Ma Jin-Wang Xiaoli (Chn) bt Lee Hyo Jung-Lee Kyung Won (Kor) 21-11, 21-18.

Mixed Doubles: Lee Yong Dae-Lee Hyo Jung (Kor) bt Yoo Yeon Seong-Kim Min Jung 21-12, 21-15.

The Baker City Herald

T he chili and cornbread enticed Phillip Braesch to Community Connection in Baker City, and he wanted to share the food with his friend and neighbor, Miles Jones.

So Braesch returned to the A-Frame RV Park on North Cedar Street where the two men live in separate motor homes to retrieve his friend and bring him to the Help for the Homeless Resource Day Wednesday.

Jones, 37, and Braesch, who’s 53, both admit they are luckier than many. Both have warm, dry places to live. But they don’t always have as much food to eat as they’d like or enough money to buy other supplies.

So they happily made their way to Community Connection at 2810 Cedar St. where they found sustenance in the form of a steaming bowl of chili and a chunk of cornbread.

Both men completed questionnaires to help Community Connection meet requirements of a point-in-time count of homeless people in the community to comply with terms of a federal grant the agency receives.

“This was a one-stop shop for services,” Mary Jo Carpenter, Community Connection manager for Baker County, said of the event.

In the past, Carpenter said her staff has gone into the community to gather information about people considered homeless. The staff would then report the information back to community partners.

“We seem to be hearing more about homelessness,” Carpenter said.

So this year, the hope was that people in need of assistance would come to Community Connection, where agency representatives would provide information about a variety of services such as the Department of Human Services’ Supplemental Nutrition Program SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), and its self-sufficiency program; the Oregon Health Plan; alcohol and drug services; programs for veterans, mental health,The Salvation Army and more.

“The goal was to provide services to improve their situations,” Carpenter said.

The agency was awarded a $300 private grant, which was used to provide goodie bags that included blankets, socks and hygiene items, a $20 grocery gift card and a transportation voucher to ride the fixed route of the Community Connection bus or trolley system.

Wednesday’s visitors, who totaled about 15, ranged from single adults to families with children.

Amanda Reeves, assistant manager at Community Connection of Baker County, said the agency representatives gathered to help not only people who had no place at all to live, but those who are doubled up with multiple families in one house and are overcrowded, or those living in a travel trailer they wouldn’t choose for a permanent home.

Homelessness also includes those living in their cars, sleeping in tents or living in quarters that are considered uninhabitable because of lack of running water and utilities, Reeves said.

“Baker has a real problem right now with housing,” she said. “People can’t afford what’s here.”

And some people have come to Baker City because they’ve heard there are “great housing opportunities,” she said.

While the Northeast Oregon Housing Authority does have housing specifically for low-income people, most units at apartment complexes such as Green Acres and the Grove Street Apartments in Baker City, and duplexes in Baker and Haines, have a waiting list of up to 18 months, Reeves said.

Houses subsidized through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) also are an option for some, and Reeves says she always suggests that people seeking shelter apply for HUD housing.

Otherwise, she’s quick to advise people to consider the option of moving to a larger community that might have more resources.

“They have better job opportunities, better housing opportunities and shelters,” she said.

The closest shelter is in Boise, although La Grande and Pendleton have warming centers to help people through the coldest nights. Those resources are not available in Baker City.

Kim Virtue, the Baker School District’s homeless liaison, attended the Help for the Homeless event and met with families whose children attend Baker schools to link them with other service providers. That’s what she does throughout the year as she works to improve the situations of the students she serves.

Clothing, coats, gloves and other items are available at Marla’s Mall at the North Baker Campus at 2725 Seventh St. Personal hygiene items and other supplies also are available at no charge to all who need them. The Northeast Oregon Compassion Center, housed in a wing of the Baker City Church of the Nazarene at 1250 Hughes Lane, also offers clothing and other supplies.

Holli Diamond is The Salvation Army’s Eastern Oregon field service center director. She says her organization provides vouchers for one-night stays as well as gas vouchers to help needy travelers. Food, clothing, cooking supplies, if needed, and bedding and tents also are available at The Salvation Army.

Diamond said most homeless people she serves are transients traveling through. During the winter months they either keep moving or make friends who will welcome them to sleep on their couches for several days.

“Eventually they run out of houses to stay at and move on,” she said.

That’s Reeves’ recommendation for those who have no resources.

“If you have no income and no shelter, you might want to move on,” she says.

As for Miles Jones, he said he wasn’t really looking for help when he attended the Wednesday event. He has been disappointed with services offered to him in the community.

He said his best help has come from John and Michelle Dollar, owners of the A-Frame RV Park where he lives.

Jones moved to Baker City last year after he became homeless in Ontario. He said when he first moved to Baker City he had high social anxiety and it was difficult for him to be around people, but over time he has been able to relax more. He does odd jobs cleaning up around the RV park and helping customers.

Jones says two convictions — more than 10 years apart — for drunken driving, and complications that have made it difficult for him to complete drug and alcohol classes, have left him without a drivers license and made it difficult for him to find work.

Jones graduated with honors from Ontario High School in 2000 and studied fabrication and welding at Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario. He also was trained at the Nevada School of Construction.

He has found that working in an assembly line is not for him. He says he’d like to find a job in a garden nursery or working on a farm or ranch.

But Jones says he doesn’t need public agencies to set him on a course.

“After being homeless, I learned I don’t need society’s help,” he said.

His friend and neighbor Phillip Braesch, on the other hand, says he’s found the help he was looking for in the community, and at Wednesday’s event, from Beverly DuBosch.

DuBosch is a former drug and alcohol counselor and administrator who worked for New Directions Northwest for 23 years and for the Eastern Oregon Alcoholism Foundation for two years. The 72-year-old has come out of retirement to work 20 hours a week as an “assister” for Northeast Oregon Network (NEON).

Corn and Poblano Chowder

No Video

Serves 6 | Prep Time 15 minutes | Cook Time 35 minutes

Why I Love This Recipe

After having a delicious pasta dish with corn and poblanos, we came up with this wonderful soup. Summertime is the best for peak flavors.

The sweetness of the corn offset by the hot poblano is exciting. The heat of poblanos can differ, taste it before adding to the soup and adjust to desired taste.

Ingredients You'll Need

2 tablespoons butter
4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed ( or 2 packages of frozen corn)
1 small onion, diced small
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 large roasted poblano, chopped, seeds and skin removed (see how to roast peppers technique on site)
1 tablespoon minced cilantro
1/2 cup shredded cheddar

1. In a large saucepan melt the butter and add the onions, garlic and corn sauté for approximately 10 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour.

2. Add the chicken broth and reduce by approximately one third.

3. Now add the heavy cream and reduce by one third.

4. With a hand blender or blender process about half of the soup until smooth. Return to pot and simmer for 10 more minutes until creamy.

5. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Garnish with minced cilantro and shredded cheddar.

Why I Love This Recipe

Ingredients You'll Need

4 oz. tilapia fillet (any white fish can be substituted)
1/2 tablespoon lime juice
1/8 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Smart Start Spread
3/4 tablespoon reduced fat or light mayonnaise
3/4 tablespoon chopped green onions
Black pepper
1/16 Herbes de Provence
Dash hot pepper sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the fillet in a buttered baking dish.

Brush the top with juice.

Bake fish in preheated oven 10 to 20 minutes or until fish just starts to flake.

Meanwhile, combine the cheese, "butter," mayonnaise, onions and seasonings in a bowl. Mix well with fork.

When the fish is ready, spread the top with the cheese mixture and bake until golden brown (about 5 minutes).

*Baking time will depend on the thickness of the fish you use. Watch the fish closely so that it does not overcook.

*Note: This fish can also be made in a broiler.

Broil 3 to 4 minutes or until almost done.

Add cheese and broil another 2 to 3 minutes or until browned.
