Anti Squirrel Device

By Outofmyshed @OutofmyShed

Anti squirrel device

After years of squirrels digging up freshly planted pots in my back garden and then chomping away at newly emerging flower heads for afters, I have built some mini cages to neatly fit on some old wine boxes so that I can still grow my favourite salad leaves by the kitchen door. Once the lettuces etc. are of a decent size and can look after themselves, I can remove the cage. Simple to make. All you need is some chicken wire, nails and a 8 small pieces of thin wood (these were reclaimed from a nearby skip). First, cut and then nail the base pieces of wood together to fit around the wooden box, then nail on the 4 upright pieces of wood to the base. Shape and position the wire around the wooden framework and then nail the wire onto the base. Mine’s getting a bit rickety, but still really does the job.

And while I’m blogging, here’s a quick update on the mint I re-potted about 9 weeks ago in March.

Anti squirrel device

Looking very happy and ready to be used in the kitchen too. Spring is a good time to re-pot mint as new growth is so vigorous, but if your mint is pot bound, re-pot anytime throughout spring and summer and even into early October if it is still mild-ish.

And finally, a quick mention for Andrew Babicz’s blog. Every week I receive a ‘What to do in the garden’ list from Andrew. Really comprehensive for both flowers and veg-I find it a timely reminder of when to sow seeds, when to cut back , when to plant out, when to prune and what pests and diseases to look out for. Thanks Andrew!

Heavy rainfall and snow to hit Greece, EMY forecasts

Phenomena to fade on Thursday

The National Meteoroligac Services (EMY) warned a heavy weather front would hit most parts of the country from Sunday evening. The extreme weather bulletin released by EMY warns of heavy rainfalls and storms and snow in the mountainous regions. The detailed report warns of periodical heavy rainfalls in all of the country on Monday, with snow expected to fall from Sunday night in mountainous and semi-mountainous regions of the Peloponnese, central and eastern mainland Greece, Euboea and in some areas in Thessaly. The temperatures is expected to drop significantly. Snow is also forecast to fall in all mountainous and semi-mountainous regions of mainland Greece, as well as lowland regions in Macedonia, Thrace and Thessaly. The extreme weather phenomena are expected to be gradually limited to the eats and north of the country and finally fade out on Thursday.

JEPHTHAH, one of the judges of Israel, in the Bible, was an illegitimate son of Gilead, and, being expelled from his father's house by his lawful brethren, took refuge in the Syrian land of Tob, where he gathered around him a powerful band of homeless men like himself. The Ammonites pressing hard on his country-men, the elders of Gilead called for his help, which he consented to give on condition that in the event of victory he should be made their head (Judg. xi. 1-xii. 7). His name is best known in history and literature in connexion with his vow, which led to the sacrifice of his daughter on his successful return. The reluctance shown by many writers in accepting the plain sense of the narrative on this point proceeds to a large extent on unwarranted assumptions as to the stage of ethical development which had been reached in Israel in the period of the judges, or at the time when the narrative took shape. The annual lamentation of the women for her death suggests a mythical origin (see ADONIS). Attached to the narrative is an account of a quarrel between Jephthah and the Ephraimites. The latter were defeated, and their retreat was cut off by the Gileadites, who had seized the fords of the Jordan. As the fugitives attempted to cross they were bidden to say " shibboleth " (" flood" or " ear of corn "), and those who said " sibboleth " (the Ephraimites apparently being unused to sh), were at once put to death. In this way 42,000 of the tribe were killed.' The loose connexion between this and the main narrative, as also the lengthy speech to the children of Ammon (xi. 14-27), which really relates to Moab, has led some writers to infer that two distinct heroes and situations have been combined. See further the commentaries on the Book of Judges (q.v.), and Cheyne, Ency. Bib., art. Jephthah." (S. A. C.)

La Opinión Endorses Hillary Clinton

Therefore, it is important for President Hillary Clinton to keep the promises of candidate Hillary Clinton in those and issues that concern the community, such as support for Army veterans, campaign finance reform, respect for LGBT rights and much more.

And even though she may not be the perfect candidate, as some of the documents unveiled by WikiLeaks suggest, this moment calls for joining forces around a historical presidential bid that would put a woman in the White House for the first time, in order to prevent a social and economic crisis with terrible consequences if Trump were to be elected.

NHK radiation expert: Sickened Fukushima woman with teeth, nails, and hair falling out has auto-immune disease

Published: January 11th, 2012 at 12:40 am ET

Nuclear Fatigue Setting in Japan After 10 Months, EX-SKF, January 10, 2012:

Radiation specialist Shinzo Kimura has appeared in many NHK documentaries on radiation contamination after Fukushima. He commented on Emiko Numauchi‘s health problems [EX-SKF: "I won't know the exact details of what Kimura said in the program until I view the video yet to be uploaded. But from other tweets the above seems to summarize what he did say"]

It is an immune disease caused by stress. Teeth, nails, hair falling off, that’s auto-immune disease. So is skin inflammation. Time-lag (?). It is not caused by radiation, but she is still a victim of the nuclear accident. There’s individual difference. There may be some effect of radiation exposure.

Difference in radiation levels. I passed through Minami Soma City back in March. High levels of radiation. If you lived in that area it is possible that the radiation exposure has something to do with (the health problems). Depending on where you live, if the radiation level is low, it is possible that the problems are caused by stress.

We cannot explain the mechanism of auto-immune diseases. For example, Mr. Iwakami can tolerate a lot of stress. You cannot tell from a person with high tolerance for stress. There’s individual difference. A rabbit may die of loneliness. It’s possible for humans. To say stress (is causing these health problems) is appropriate.

It is an auto-immune disease. Stress can cause kidney diseases. It is highly possible. If you don’t think it is stress, then collect data and determine. Internal radiation exposure [is assessed] by counseling [??]

EX-SKF analysis of Kimura’s comments:

Does he make sense? If you live in areas with low radiation levels and you have health problems starting to happen after March 11, 2011, then these problems are caused by stress. If you live in areas with high radiation levels, it is probably still stress causing these problems.

Never mind that Ms. Numauchi kept saying she was far more stress-free after she quit her job as a public high school teacher. [...]

    Doctors in Japan are saying the health effects are from worrying about radiation, causing stress…

    What a crock of rubbish !!

    She may have an autoimmune disease, probably brought on by radiation, not from worrying about it …

    Japan’s doctors say “stress” when they mean –shut up! Its a way to pressure people into “conforming.” Mental disease and “stress” sound like they are equated equal.and equally bad for the victim who is then ignored, forgotten, shunned. They have done similar with others–am sure that is what was told to Hiroshima survivors–since no one wanted to have anything to do with a person with “tainted” bodies.

    “An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. There are more than 80 different types of autoimmune disorders….”

    Normally the immune system’s white blood cells help protect the body from harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include bacteria, viruses, toxins, cancer cells, and blood or tissues from another person or species. The immune system produces antibodies that destroy these harmful substances.

    In patients with an autoimmune disorder, the immune system can’t tell the difference between healthy body tissue and antigens. The result is an immune response that destroys normal body tissues. This response is a hypersensitivity reaction similar to the response in allergic conditions.

    In allergies, the immune system reacts to an outside substance that it normally would ignore. With autoimmune disorders, the immune system reacts to normal body tissues that it would normally ignore.

    What causes the immune system to no longer tell the difference between healthy body tissues and antigens is unknown. One theory is that some microorganisms (such as bacteria or viruses) or drugs may trigger some of these changes, especially in people who have genes that make them more likely to get autoimmune disorders.

    An autoimmune disorder may result in:

    The destruction of one or more types of body tissue
    Abnormal growth of an organ
    Changes in organ function
    An autoimmune disorder may affect one or more organ or tissue types. Organs and tissues commonly affected by autoimmune disorders include:

    Blood vessels, Connective tissues, Endocrine glands such as the thyroid or pancreas, Joints, Muscles, Red blood cells, Skin
    A person may have more than one autoimmune disorder at the same time. Examples of autoimmune (or autoimmune-related) disorders include….”

      possible causes in my view,

      metal toxicity
      increased allergy response to particulates
      the stress also comes from not being supported by the people in trust and lied too! and the other causes

      compromised thyroid disorder caused by xenon/iodine 131 at the very least!
      too many disorders to mention.. loads of information on the link above..

      conclusion, this dip shit knows geraldine thomas.. something sounds familiar about this argument.. can i smell a wade thomas famous pseudo-psychologist of no qualification!! knows how to let greek children eat ceasium though, and he said that he wouldnt touch the contaminated food himself!! people like this should be imprisoned for the dangerous and destructive people that they are!!

      in fact .. bring back the stocks so i can pelt them with marks and spencers radioactive canadian black cherries (as reported here on enenews!!) that should boost their auto immune systems nicely :)

      wonder if they ate the cherries when they were around? :/ marks and spencers is a posh persons shop.. so it is possible?

      still trying to find reference material by a proper psychologist but no one will touch it!! they are worried that it might damage their credibility in the psychology area.. we did a hit peace on enenews of an italian mafiosi psychologist trying to win the argument of stress only cancer etc.. lol

        I myself stopped my teeth falling out by removing all sugar or sweets from my diet and alcohol. Not nuclear related, but the effect is profound.

        There is a lot of bollocks information out there. This is not in my view.

        “Dr. Akizuki was born in 1916 in Nagasaki and studied medicine at the Kyoto University medical
        school in order to understand and overcome his own illness and skin disease. Upon graduation,
        he returned to Nagasaki. He read the books written by George Osawa about the relationship
        between health and diet.1 The books made him want to conduct experiments on the effectiveness
        of the traditional Japanese diet on the human body. He began to work as Director of the
        Department of Internal Medicine at Urakami Daiihchi Hospital (later St. Francis Hospital) and
        instituted a strict diet of traditional Japanese food that was based on brown rice, miso and tamari
        soy soup, seaweed, and sea salt. He also prohibited the patients from consuming sugar and
        sweets. This diet was served to the patients and staff of the hospital twice everyday. It was
        during this time that the Nagasaki atomic bomb was dropped. The hospital was located
        approximately 1.4 km away from the hypocenter; therefore, most of the people in the hospital
        were exposed to the atomic bomb blast directly or indirectly. If they were inside the building,
        the radiation exposure was indirect, while those outside were most likely directly exposed to the
        blast and died immediately.”

            Not saying it is a cure all, but i have never heard of Dr. Akizuki ever being mentioned in medical circles even though he had so much apparent success. I thought there would be some mention of his work somewhere. It is probably because i have not searched well enough i am sure. The reality is i do not know, but it it does seem promising.

      They can’t cure it. They don’t know what causes it, but if you don’t let them put their pills in you and zap you with spectra this is what happens.(CNN) — The parents of an 8-year-old Ohio boy who died of cancer in 2008 have pleaded guilty to attempted involuntary manslaughter in his death.

      Monica Hussing, 37, and William Robinson Sr., 40, face up to eight years in prison each; sentencing is scheduled for February 16.

      “They thought the kid had swollen glands,” John Luskin, Hussing’s Cleveland-based attorney, told CNN on Tuesday.

      From time to time, the boy’s parents would notice a lump on his neck, but it would come and go and did not appear to bother him, Luskin said.

      The parents never sought a diagnosis for their son, William, who was suffering from Hodgkin’s lymphoma, CNN affiliate WJW reported.

      They did not have much money, struggled to make ends meet and “were doing the best they could,” Luskin said.

      “No one recognized it … the system here failed,” the attorney told CNN. “It’s obviously a sad case.”

      Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. What causes it is not clear, though symptoms can include painless swelling of lymph nodes, persistent fatigue, fever and itching, according to the Mayo Clinic.

      People diagnosed with the disease often have the chance for a full recovery.

      “Even if it’s widely spread, we can have a cure rate of 80%,” said Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society.

      “If they had just taken the child to the emergency room and said the child is sick, the staff would have taken care of the child … Their approach is ‘we figure out how to get paid later,’ ” he said.

      • I wish the parents hadn’t plead guilty.

        I wonder how many doctors have been charged with involuntary manslaughter for failing to properly diagnose conditions that resulted in a patient’s death? It’s sad that the child died of cancer, but there is no proof that that the child would have lived. There is no proof that the doctors would have properly diagnosed Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I went to the emergency room one night after splitting my head open in a fall earlier that day. The doctor said that my voting was not the result of an obvious concussion (which eventually caused epilepsy for e a few years) , but that had the flu. I had no flu symptoms except vomiting and a bloody scalp, but this doctor was sure that I don’t have a concussion! The last time I went to a hospital in the US, I had a horrible ovarian cyst causing incredible pain. After eight hours of waiting in the emergency room, I was checked into the hospital because I was told I had a blood clot on my uterus that could possibly kill me. AFter a $2,000 co=payment, five doctors and a night in the hospital, a lab technician thought that the blood clot was actually uterine lining was moving around in anticipation of the monthly cycle. He was right. No blood clot, just a cyst that the doctors ignored.

        A woman I know was 14 weeks pregnant and had horrible cramping. She was sure she was pregnant, even though the tests said no. The doctors refused to do an ultrasound, telling her that at 35, her delayed period was a symptom of early menopause. She was pregnant and the sack had torn from the uterine wall, but she didn’t know that until it was too late to save the baby because the doctors wouldn’t give her an ultrasound.

        I wonder how many doctors in the US will ignore the obvious radiation poisoning. Whether it is through ignorance or deception, I just don’t trust the medical establishment to do the right thing re Fukushima fallout. I think the US doctors are no better than the…

        • We have heard the sad statistic that ~44,000 Americans die every year because they are uninsured and have no access to health care. The sadder statistic people don’t hear much about are the ~100,000 Americans who die every year as a direct result of having health care. People who would not have died if they’d stayed away from hospitals. And that’s just hospitals, not counting the number of people who die of medical mistakes, prescription errors, etc. outside of hospitals.

          Someday in the distant future people will look back on what passed for medical care in the 21st century’s Great For-Profit Radiation/Pollution Caused Epidemics as barbarism worse even than leaches, maggots and witch-doctors shaking rattles.

    It is very telling when the same people who are only willing to accept that a certain case of sickness is related to radiation if it is proven, are very happy to accept that it is related to stress without any proof. The stress cause is also just a theory until it is proven. I find it rather unconvincing theory though in this particular case.

    There are actually studies that large doses or radiation can cause autoimmune disease. Perhaps small dose can also cause…
    Also, perhaps she was always prone to this, but it was triggered by radiation. How do we know?

He is at best basing his comments on the ICRP model when he is talking of low level radiation.And ICRP model based on external radiation applied to internal radiation means using data from high level, acute,external exposure to model low level,chronic,internal exposure and hence blatantly false results ensue(out by a factor of 2000 or more compared with the truth). This is proved by the above reference and by the ongoing experience around the world’s nuclear reactors. The fascists ruling the world are liable for criminal negligence of infinite proportions because it exposes future generations to the crime.Kimura and his ilk ” reason excellently in the idiom of their beliefs(ICRP model),but they cannot reason outside, or against their beliefs,because they have no other idiom in which to express their thoughts.

    there is another disease that causes this symptom set. that would be the age old SCURVY. hair and teeth falling out, bruising, aches and pain and more. see see also for skin symptoms pictures. i would say a good many people are in fact ‘stressed’ about eating fresh fruit and vegetables leading to this state, if you are not or can not or wont eat fresh fruit and vegetables to get the nutrients that your body needs, then you have to supplement with vitamin pills. i am not a doctor so take of it what you will, i really do hope this is ‘it’ and not radiation illness or autoimmune disease ans it is real easy to fix.

    OK, I’ll be “fair” – it’s not enough to hang him.

    He does seem to be “On message”, parroting the j-gov line. We have heard NHK often serves as a j-gov media mouthpiece.

    We do hear from individuals on occassion, often “professors” of this or that subject that’s medicine related.

    Where are the voices of the practising physicians? Where are the voices of the Executive bodies representing Japanese Doctors?

    Have just sepent a short time perusing the definitions and symptoms of auto immune sidease and I have to say this ‘expert’ is being aid to say the things he’s saying.

      it most fits with scurvy, see my message above.
      the timings and everything seems correct. shortly after the boom boom boom a lot of people most likely stopped eating fresh fruits and vegetables out of fear of contamination, months later the first symptoms of scurvy started showing up, it has steadily progressed to what we see today. vitamin c is needed to make collagen, collagen is what holds the body together, it is also needed within blood vesicles, it is also needed to convert cholesterol to collagen and without it cholesterol rises. in thinking about this problem the population has sick and not so sick people from the same areas, i wonder if the not so sick people are taking vitamin supplements, and the sick are not and so right there could be the difference. and if this so then i have to say most doctors need to be reeducated around the world just for not spotting this. as i am just a average person in ravenna, ohio. and i am not trying to say that the fallout doesnt exist or that there are not people with radiation sickness, but if this could be, then it would be a shame for someone to think there is nothing to be done and allow scurvy to kill themselves believing the illness to be radiation sickness or some such.

    The whole subject of chronic degenerative illness relates to the on-going pollution of the biosphere – our food, air, water – and our bodies, inevitably.

    The incidence of all chronic degenerative illnesses has been on the increase since the explosion of the manufacture of synthetic chemicals, and the rise of polluting industries like nuke power/weapons, and others, including Big Pharma, chemicals used on and in food and food crops, etc.

    The AMA and Big Pharma and the major pollutors (industry, etc. incl. nuke power industry) DO NOT want us to see this connection. AMA plays dumb — gee, we just don’t know what the causes of your degen. illness might be, but here, take this prescription to control (i.e. mask) the symptoms.

    The other half of the sketch is the suppression/criminalization – no exaggeration here – of non-toxic, non-invasive holistic treatments/therapies for degenerative illnesses, many of which have a documented and proven track record of success.

    It is the same old story everywhere you turn – ‘regulatory capture’ (capture/control of govt. regulators -bribery, fat job offers, etc. – by the industries they are charged to regulate in the public interest).

Walk of Causes | Episode 1: For Peace and Health

Al-Akhbar is currently going through a transitional phase whereby the English website is available for Archival purposes only. All new content will be published in Arabic on the main website (www.al-akhbar.com).

Al-Akhbar Management

By Matias Nordahl Carlsen and Jørgen Ekvoll

Episode 1 | Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 | Episode 5 | Episode 6 | Episode 7 | Episode 8 | Episode 9 | Episode 10 | Episode 11 | Episode 12 | Episode 13 | Episode 14

Jørgen and Matias, two Norwegian travelers, chose to walk from the northern tip of Lebanon to its southern border. Trekking through Lebanon's rugged and mountainous terrain without the aid of a map or a compass, the pair stumbled along the country's religious fault lines.

They started their journey in the spring of 2010, documenting their steps as they went. From the rights of domestic workers, to freedom of press, or the Armenian genocide, each day brought with it a new cause to walk.

Various sponsors were willing to assist them along the way, helping them produce their film and, more importantly, raise funds for local issues such as refugees, orphans, cluster bombs, and landmines, to name a few…

The series, comprising of 14 episodes, will be featured twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday.

How do you prepare yourself for the longest march of your life?

Matias called Jørgen in the morning for the last checkup, "How did you manage to put all the stuff in your rucksack? There is too much camera gear!" We had to leave the tent behind, and we forgot to bring a map. We weren't really prepared.

Getting from Beirut to Machta Hammoud, our starting point, was a piece of cake. Three bus rides and we were there.
The goal was to make it to El Qbaiyat before dark, but the rucksacks that felt so light when we tried them on at home, turned into led when we hit the road. After one hour we had to stop for a beer. That's when we met Elias. He served us whiskey, and gave us a warm bed to sleep in. The next morning, with no proper map, no GPS and no compass, we embarked on a quest through the fog into the deep forest.

The first episode of Walk of Causes is dedicated to Peace and Health. It's sponsored by the Norwegian UNIFIL veteran Stein Nilsen. Half of the money donated by him will go to Lebanese Red Cross to continue the work they do on improving the general health in the country. The other half went to cover production expenses, so this episode could reach you.

China's consumer price control still priority

Source:   Time:

BEIJING, March 18 (Xinhua) -- A senior Chinese government official said Sunday China will continue to stabilize consumer prices this year and puts the matter at an important position despite the recent signs of inflation easing.

Zhang Ping, minister in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner, said the government will not relax its efforts in managing inflation, even though it currently shows a stabilizing trend.

Government data showed the consumer price index (CPI), the main gauge of inflation, rose 3.2 percent year-on-year in February, marking the lowest pace in 20 months. It eased from the 4.5-percent rise registered in January.

"Currently the situation is still severe, as higher international commodity prices, tight supplies of some farm produces at home, and abundant global liquidity can all drive up inflation," Zhang said at the China Development Forum 2012 held in Beijing.

The Chinese government aims to keep the CPI increase to around 4 percent for 2012. The index climbed 5.4 percent last year.

The proposals will be given to 164 government bodies to handle after the session, and the CPPCC National Committee will select key proposals to work together with related departments and individuals who make the proposals.

  • New “Environment Team” Established under Seoul-Beijing Integration Council, Full-fledged Cooperation Begins

    SMG 1513
  • 서울베이징통합교류기구

    The Seoul-Beijing Integration Council, which was founded to enhance comprehensive cooperation between Seoul and Beijing, has established the “Environment Team” and begun actively pursuing cooperation between the two cities. Established in 2013 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the sister city relationship between Seoul and Beijing, the Council is tasked with creating and implementing plans for mutually beneficial exchange and cooperation by matching and coordinating related departments of the two cities.

    During his official visit to Beijing, Seoul Mayor Park Won Soon met with Beijing Mayor Wang Anshun and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the establishment of the Environment Team during the second general conference of the Seoul-Beijing Integration Council.

    The Climate & Environment Headquarters of Seoul Metropolitan Government and Beijing’s Environmental Protection Bureau will lead the newly created team and discuss the common environmental challenges that the two cities face. Specifically, the Environment Team will strengthen inter-city exchange in terms of environment policy, technology, and information and human exchange and make joint efforts in the areas of environmental protection and carbon reduction. With the new addition, the Seoul-Beijing Integration Council now consists of four teams, including the existing Economy, Culture, and Education teams.

    In his congratulatory speech, Mayor Park emphasized that “the two cities form a community that breathes the same air.” And he went on to add, “If our two cities conduct joint research on air pollution reduction technologies and capitalize on the outstanding technological expertise of our researchers and private enterprises, we will be able to achieve synergy and develop game-changing technologies.”

A bicycle built for two.

Last weekend my work had a 10 mile bike ride for the Women's and Infant Services department and their families.  It was a warm morning and hardly anyone showed up but we still had a good time.  Rick and Quinn rode the tandem bike.  I like how Quinn's helmet is hanging from his handlebars, lota good that will do.  For some reason, Rick looks like a German in his helmet.  He's not.

 I dragged everyone in my household to the bike ride and surprisingly, they enjoyed themselves!

We rode all around the San Tan Mall area.

Our team name is Team Push.  Get it, we're labor and delivery nurses....Team Push.

A Moment in Time.

Last week Truman was involved in the Desert Ridge High School Dance Concert.  (I never thought I'd be typing that last sentence.)  He took a pilot class this year called, "Athletic Movement" which was for boys only and the only class of its kind in the United States (so I'm told).  The class was physically demanding and the boys did learn a lot of manly type moves such as parkour (free running), beat boy dancing, etc.
Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the boys got to show their talents in the 2 hour plus dance concert.  On Friday, I was sitting in the audience waiting for the show to begin wondering, "How did I get here?"  I hadn't been to a dance recital since my only daughter, Emily, was in dance and that was a long time ago.  It felt a little odd being there to support my son when there were 480 kids involved and maybe 30 were of the male type.  But, nonetheless.
Truman had lots of friends involved with the concert and many friends who came to support.  Even Bama came.  He was in two dances and one was picked to go perform at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts in May, a big accomplishment since only two dances in the entire program were selected.

 Friends, family and dancers.

So, what do you give your son after all of his hard work?  Flowers?  I opted for chips and homemade salsa.  He was fine with that!  (Sorry for the blurry picture, it's the only one I got.)

Truman told me this morning that he wants to drop dance and take weight lifting for next year.

I'm fine with that.

Love notes.

Does your husband leave you love notes?  Mine does but sometimes they're a little weird.  These eggs are left from Easter.....and this note on the egg carton appeared last week.
Am I supposed to reply directly on the carton or use a sticky note?  This is uncharted territory.

German Pancakes

When Emily and Steven were staying with us, she introduced the kids and me to these crazy puffy German Pancakes.  Now Quinn requests them often to which I oblige.  I found a simple and fast recipe on Smitten Kitchen.  Click here for the out of control German Pancakes recipe.  If you're not interested in clicking, then just follow below.

 4 eggs
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup flour, sifted
2/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp soft butter

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.  Butter two 9-inch cake pans well ( I used spray Pam).  Put eggs in blender container, cover and process at "stir" until light yellow in color.  Push "mix" button, remove cover and add remaining ingredients; process until smooth.  Pour into prepared pans and bake at 20 minutes; then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake 10 minutes.  Slide onto hot plates.  Serve with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries.
Mmm good.

Friday, April 6th a few of Truman's friends threw a surprise birthday party for him.  He was with one of his best friend in Queen Creek the whole day, which allowed me to cook all the live long day.  We had copy cat Costa Vida sweet pork burritos along with the rice and dressing.  It was the best recipe that I found and it turned out delicious!  Sweet pork and fixins recipes here!  We also had two different cakes, Black Magic and 4 layer carrot cake along with fruits and veggies and chips.  And the entire Washburn clan helped out with the decorations and sodas.
We had roughly 28 girls and maybe 6 guys.  That's a normal ratio, right?
See how my mom is leaning on the counter taking it all in?  She partied with the kids all night long.  She always walks with a walker but not that night (I think she hid it out of vanity).  She's usually always sitting in her room watching TV all night.  But while the party was going on, she was front and center of all of the activities.  The next day, instead of sleeping until 10 a.m., her usual time, she slept until 12:45 p.m.  I had to check in on her just to make sure she was still breathing.  She partied too hard, and loved it.

We had Just Dance II set up outside on a big screen that the kids played.
The kids ate too!  I mean they really did eat.  I wasn't sure they would.  I'm glad they did.
Part of the cute decorations.  Marc Washburn was the official photographer, so I didn't take too many pictures.  The one below Rick took and it's real swell......but it's all I've got of  Truman blowing out his candles.
Happy 16th Truman!

Thursday, April 5, 2012

It's not a train wreck.

 Quinn found this almost 50 year old train set in our garage.  Rick got it one year for his birthday from his dad and grandpa.  Apparently his dad and grandpa ended up playing with it because Rick was only 1 and wasn't interested. Now, all these years later, Quinn asked Rick to put it together.
He did, and it still works!  Even though the track is razor sharp and could potentially cut off a finger, it's still a great toy!

April Fools = one 16 year old boy!

Truman turned 16 yesterday!
 The day started out with a crepe breakfast with all the fixins.  Truman opened up some presents and even tried on a pair of shorts.  The best part of this picture is Emily's face.  "Yep, that's my brother."
Emily & Stephen spent the night to watch Conference with us and to celebrate Truman's birthday with the family later on.  After breakfast, Emily went out to her car to get something and found this.  Our front yard is rather large so 5 rolls of toilet paper doesn't quite get the job done.
 It was a fun for Truman.
 I mean, really.  How cute is Mr. Winston?!
 The Washburns came over too for dinner.
 I think we had 30 or so family members.  Most seemed to be under the age of 9!
 Truman and his cousin Chelsea.
It was my nephew's birthday too.  Funny.  Two sisters having a son on April Fool's 18 years apart.  What are the odds?  The cake had the traditional Ariel on it along with RIP and question mark candles.  The fun thing about having a kid with a birthday on April 1st is I get to use all of my left-over Christmas napkins and paper products.  And, even though I didn't have a real candle, these candles worked perfectly for the day!  What luck.

Itineraries of the Region Friuli Venezia Giulia

The Collio is situated at the extreme eastern edge of the region, in the province of Gorizia on the
border with Slovenia. A premium-quality wine area, the Collio was one of the first in Italy to be
recognised, in 1968, as a Denominazione d’Origine Controllata, or DOC zone. It runs from the hills
of San Floriano and Oslavia above Gorizia to those of Ruttars, Lonzano and Vencò on the banks of
the Judrio, once the border between Italia and Austria. The Collio’s succession of rolling downs,
dotted with small villages and vineyards, covers a total of 1,600 hectares. This hill country is superb
terrain for relaxing country holidays, in part thanks to the excellent farm holiday facilities. The
DOC zone runs almost without a break from east to west, its gentle slopes presenting extensive
south-facing areas that are ideal for premium-quality winemaking. This situation has long
encouraged viticulture for grapes have been grown here since prehistoric times, A zone of great
white wines, the Collio produces in great part Pinot Grigio and Bianco, Tocai Friulano, Sauvignon
and the renowned Collio Bianco, the DOC’s blended wine. The leading reds are Collio Rosso,
Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, and Merlot.

TYPICAL PRODUCTSSausages and cured meats: ham, salami, cotechino and other sausages.
Fruit: Collio cherries and plums.
Vegetables: first crop baby Gorizia salad, known as Canarino.
Cakes: Gorizia gubana and putizza. Honey, spirits.

TYPICAL DISHES:The cuisine of this area is a very unusual mix of Austrian, Friulian and Slovene traditions. Recipes
handed down from one generation to the next make Gorizia’s kitchen a very special one,
complemented by wines that have long been considered some of the finest in the world. One
characteristic Gorizian dish is boiled ham in bread sprinkled with grated horseradish, which is often
a midday meal on its own. Gorizia’s delicious soups offer uniquely interesting flavours. Noteworthy
are jota, a thick soup of sauerkraut, potatoes, beans and meat or pork rind, and Friulian barley and
bean soup. The local bread dumplings have clearly been imported from central Europe, but in
Gorizia they are transformed by Mediterranean aromas. In spring, the local eateries offer fragrant
herb omelettes, then in autumn you will find muset e brovade (cotechino sausage with grated
pomace-steeped white turnips), gulasch (in endless spicy variations), kaiserfleisch (smoked pork
sprinkled with fresh horseradish and served with sauerkraut or bread dumplings), game with
polenta, shin of pork or baked veal. Tempting side dishes are patate in tecia (potatoes simmered
slowly with lots of onion) and kipfel (small fried crescents of a mixture similar to that used for
dumplings). Queen of the local cakes is gubana, the proud emblem of the Gorizian kitchen, which
comprises a roll of puff pastry filled with nuts, raisins, candied citrus peel, pine nuts and walnuts.
This delectable creation can be found in some pastryshops in gift packages, its lovely maroon box
adorned with gilt Jugendstil arabesques. Other typical cakes are putizza, pinza, strudel (with apples,
damson or cherries), krapfen doughnuts, Hungarian Dobosch cake, palacinke jam or chocolatefilled
pancakes and light, raisiny kugelkupf cakes.

BIKE ITINERARIESTour of the Collio-28 km: Capriva-castello di Spessa-Cormòns-Brazzano-San Rocco-Monte

ITINERARY: Gorizia - Oslavia - San Floriano del Collio - Plessiva - Ruttars - Dolegna del Collio
- Brazzano - Cormons - Capriva - Mossa - Lucinico - Farra d'Isonzo

GORIZIAThe ideal starting point for a relaxing excursion through the gentle hills of the Collio, Gorizia has a
rich heritage of history and art. The city stands on the border with Slovenia and has always been a
crossroads of Europe’s main cultures: the Latin, Germanic and Slav.
The atmosphere is central European, indeed Gorizia was known as the Nice of Austria in the
nineteenth century. It was a favourite haunt of the Hapsburg nobility and upper classes, who were
drawn by the mild climate, green parks and brilliant social life. Gorizia’s historic centre still bears
clear traces of its past. The long avenues and architecture are central European in style, above all
the Jesuit church of Sant’Ignazio (1645-1767), whose onion domes dominate the main square,
Piazza della Vittoria. Palazzo Attems in Piazza De Amicis is also Hapsburg in inspiration, harking
back to the days of the empress Maria Therese. It was built by Gorizia-born Nicolò Pacassi, the
empress’s favourite architect, who also drew up the plans for the royal palace of Schönbrunn. Like
Palazzo Attems, many other public and private buildings in the city centre date from the eighteenth
century, which for Gorizia was a “golden century”. Some of Gorizia’s sights are the cathedral,
where there is a gravestone bearing the portrait of Leonardo, the last Count of Gorizia. Then there
are the Ghetto and Synagogue, today the home of the Museo Gerusalemme sull’Isonzo. The
museum is dedicated to the history of Gorizia’s Jewish community and to the graphic works of
philosopher Carlo Michelstaedter, one of twentieth-century Europe’s most original thinkers.
Finally, Villa Coronini deserves a visit for its garden of long-established and rare plants (visits
should be booked in advance, tel. +39 0481 533485). The symbol of Gorizia, however, and the
feature that proclaims the city’s mediaeval origins is the Castle. Visible from a great distance, it
stands on top of the hill around which the city has grown up over the centuries. Gorizia’s Castle is
one of the loveliest fortresses in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and stands in the centre of a picturesque
walled settlement. Other ancient buildings cluster around it, including the fourteenth-century church
of Santo Spirito, and Palazzo Donberg and Palazzo Tasso, which house the provincial collections
and the Museum of the Great War. On passing through the Castle’s imposing gateway, visitors go
back in time into a fascinating mediaeval world. Kitchens, prisons, the Sala del Conte reception
room and the chapel all reveal how life was lived in days gone by. But the Castle has more to offer.
The great crenellated granary on the top floor today houses models, maps and interactive computers
that tell in spectacular detail the history of the county of Gorizia. From here, and from the castle
towers, there are magnificent views over the bleak highlands of the Carso plateau, the gentle slopes
of the Collio, and the river Isonzo winding across the flatlands. The castle is a popular venue for the
cultural initiatives promoted by the local authority, which organises exhibitions, theatre, film
festivals, concerts and much more. Gorizia’s fortress is also frequently the scene of historical reenactments
and events in costume that reach back in time, bringing to life various aspects of
mediaeval life, from court rituals to sieges, markets, craft pr oduction, art and witchcraft.

TYPICAL PRODUCTSPrized first-cut radicchietto salad
Carso morello cherry and acacia honey
Gorizian gubana
FESTIVALS AND EVENTSExpomego - Gorizia trade fair (April-May)

An ideal place to walk or take exercise, the park includes a Percorso Vita, or “life route”, and at

DOLEGNA DEL COLLIOThe emblem of this pretty village, split up into various settlements, is a group of five stars, each
corresponding to one of the districts, and a pen in honour of Pietro Zorutti. Still considered one of
Friuli’s greatest writers, Zorutti was born here in 1792. There are a number of plain but interesting
votive churches in the area, including the church of San Leonardo (fifteenth century) at Scriò, the
church of Sant’Elena (sixteenth century) at Mernico and the church of San Giacomo (sixteenth
century) at Lonzano. Dolegna is part of the national Città del Vino “wine town” association.

This characteristic little town at the foot of Monte Quarin is the heart of the Collio DOC zone. Its
ancient origins are clear from its pre-classical name, which may derive from “Carmon”, the “village
of the weasels”. Centuries ago, it was already renowned for its wines and fruit. Today, Cormòns is
the ideal place to stock up on premium-quality wines. They can be purchased direct from the
producers or from the Enoteca in Piazza XXIV Maggio, where it is possible to taste the very best in
Collio wines. The town has a Hapsburg atmosphere and a statue of the emperor Maximilian of
Austria dominates the main square. In addition to wine, Cormòns is also noted for its restaurants,
which are among the best in Friuli, and for its comfortable farm holiday accommodation. The oldest
erections in the town are the mediaeval walls, around which lies the historic centre with its dignified
seventeenth and eighteenth-century buildings. Particularly noteworthy is the lovely façade of the
eighteenth-century Palazzo del Mestre-Devetag. Other attractions are the imposing eighteenthcentury
cathedral of Sant’Adalberto and the neoclassical Palazzo Locatelli, now the Municipio,or
town hall, and the Santuario di Rosa Mistica, while the remains of the ancient fortress surmount
Monte Quarin, which overlooks the town and where there is also the seventeenth-century church of
the Beata Vergine del Soccorso.
No visit to Cormòns is complete until you have called at the Cantina Produttori, around which is
planted the Vigna del Mondo (Vineyard of the World), with over four hundred varieties of vine
from the five continents. The fruit is harvested together to produce the Vino della Pace(Wine of
Peace), which is sent every year to heads of state all over the world as an invitation to peace and

This route starts from, and returns to, Udine. It takes you through the Colli Occidentali del Friuli
and the part of the Friuli-Grave DOC – the largest zone in the region – that lies in the province of
Udine. The terrain, called magredi, has little surface water. Prevalently stony and gravelly, the
magredi are a superb environment for cultivating vines, which were planted here in Roman times.
Their outstanding fruit yields fragrant whites, like Tocai Friulano, Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco, as
well as full-bodied reds, including Merlot. This is a zone of resurgent springs, which form small
pools of crystalline water surrounded by luxuriant vegetation. Visitors will find castles, ancient
villas and characteristic villages to explore.
Prosciutto di San Daniele air-cured ham, other cured meats, cheeses (including Montasio, whose
protection consortium is based at Codroipo), trout and trout-based processed and conserved
products (fillets, mousse, smoked trout), honey, grappas and spirits, asparagus, mushrooms, snails.
Risottos and omelettes with aromatic herbs, soups, gnocchi (small potato dumplings), pork-based
main dishes, game with polenta, frico (fried cheese), brovada e muset (cotechino sausage with
sliced pomace-steeped turnips).

Udine, capital of Friuli, is an elegant city with interesting museums and a well conserved historic
centre. Any tour of Udine should start from Piazza della Libertà which is, according to one very
well-worn, but certainly justified, definition, the loveliest “Venetian” piazza on the mainland.
Overlooking the square is the Loggia di Lionello, its arches and delicate alternating pink and white
decorative stone providing one of the city’s most emblematic views.
The story of the loggia runs parallel with that of Udine, at whose heart it was constructed in the mid
fifteenth century to give the Comune, the town’s ruling body, a new, prestigious home. It has kept
that function, albeit with various ups and downs, to the present day for the Udine town council still
meets today in one of its halls. Opposite, the sixteenth-century Loggia di San Giovanni is flanked
by the Torre dell’Orologio, the clock tower, whose two Moors hammer out the hours. This was
once an entrance to the castle, whose impressive, frequently restructured bulk, today reminiscent
more of a palazzo than a feudal residence, dominates the piazza below. Now, the way up to the
castle is through the Arco Bollani. On top of the arch, built in 1556 to a design by Andrea Palladio,
stands the Lion of Saint Mark. Once you have passed the church of Santa Maria in Castello, the
most ancient in the city, an elegant stepped portico leads to the top of the hill. Next to the castle,
which houses the art collections of the civic museums, are the Casa della Confraternita di Santa
Maria and the Casa della Contadinanza.
Back in Piazza della Libertà, shoppers will find tempting retail outlets and boutiques in Via
Mercatovecchio, the portico-lined main shopping street, and in Piazza Matteotti, one of Udine’s
most attractive corners which is still the venue for an open-air market. Places to see in the centre of
Udine are the Duomo, or cathedral, the baptistery and the Oratorio delle Purità, frescoed by Tiepolo
and visitable by appointment (apply to the sacristy or tel. +39 0432 506830), all of which stand
round Piazza Duomo. Another place to visit is the Palazzo Patriarcale, which boasts a superb cycle
of paintings by Gian Battista Tiepolo, including the outstanding stories from the Bible in the great
gallery. It is also the home of the diocesan museum. The Gallery of Modern Art is also worth a visit
for its paintings by the leading twentieth-century Italian artists and by Friulian artists of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries (Palamostre, Piazzale Diacono). Finally, remember to call at La
Casa del Vino, in the ancient Palazzo Tritonio-Moroldi Beretta, which showcases the finest of
Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s wines and is also the home of the Wine Service of ERSA, the regional body
for the promotion of agriculture (Via Poscolle 6, tel. +30 0432 297068).

Colloredo di Monte Albano stands in the shadow of its imposing castle. It was the home of writer
Ippolito Nievo, who wrote his most celebrated novel Le Confessioni di Un Italiano (Confessions of
an Italian) here between 1857 and 1868, drawing his inspiration from the area and the events in
local people’s lives. Today, the castle is the focus of a literary park dedicated to Nievo. Severely
damaged in the 1976 earthquake, the castle has more than three hundred rooms, many of which
have now been restored. The monumental complex is made up of several fourteenth-century
buildings, Its distinctive white profile, surmounted by a clock tower, can been seen from a great
distance on its hilltop, at the centre of the morainic amphitheatre that embraces Udine to the north
east. In the village itself, the fourteenth-century frescoes in the chapel of San Pietro Apostolo are
well worth a visit.

Fagagna is noted for its Corsa degli Asini, or donkey race, held in early September, and for the
excellent cheese to which it gives its name. The cheese is available directly from the producers - the
town’s two dairies. Nestling in the shadow of its ruined mediaeval castle, Fagagna boasts a number
of remarkable monuments, such as the ancient parish church of Santa Maria Assunta and the
Renaissance Casa della Comunità, as well as an intriguing museum of rural life (Museo della Vita
Contadina) in Cjase Cocel. The ancient building has been restored to recreate the ambiences of
country life in days gone by. Outside, there is a broli, or small farm, with mulberry trees, vines and
vegetables, which is still tended according to the ancient rhythms of yesteryear’s farmers. A special
section is set aside for women’s activities and the exquisite tombolo, or Italian pillow, lace made at
Fagagna in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries at the school founded by Contessa Cora
Savorgnan di Brazzà. Fagagna lace products vied in sophistication with Burano’s and were even
exported to the New World.
Also worth a visit is the splendid nearby mediaeval castle of Villalta. Today privately owned, it is
one of the most beautiful such edifices in Friuli.

wine zone. In the centre, visitors should see the parish church of the Assunta (eighteenth century),
one of the most ancient in Friuli, and in the San Martino district, there is a fine collection of fully
functioning horse-drawn carriages from all over Europe. These are being transferred to Villa
Kechler. A short distance away, at Rivolto, is the airfield of the national display team, the legendary
Frecce Tricolori, or Tricolour Arrows, renowned for their spectacular performances at air shows
around the globe. The base of the Pattuglia Acrobatica Nazionale, the team’s official name, can be
visited during air shows (tel. +39 0432 902166). For further information, visit the website
At Passariano is Villa Manin, a magnificent sixteenth-century Venetian villa that was radically
restructured in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It was the last residence in Friuli
of the doges of Venice. Severely damaged during the First World War, Villa Manin now belongs,
after restoration by the Ente Ville Venete body, to the regional authority of Friuli-Venezia Giulia,
which has made it the home of the regional cataloguing centre and school of restoration. Its rooms
are open to the public. Villa Manin is also a museum, each year hosting major exhibitions organised
by the regional authority. Before exploring the interior, visitors should admire the structure as a
whole. Unique and imposing, Villa Manin frames, and gives form to, the green of its extensive
lawns by enclosing them in a harmonious arrangement of snow-white outbuildings. The villa was
the centre of a vast estate and had to fulfil two main functions, as an economically viable farm and
as a setting for ceremonial occasions. The complex layout of the buildings reflects this. The main
residential structure comprises a three-floored main building surmounted by a statue-topped attic
storey. It is flanked by two lateral barchesse, or service buildings, that extend under airy porticoes
around the large lawn. As a counterpoint to this group, there is a large horseshoe-porticoed exedra
enclosing a second lawn in front of the villa, in a sort of unexpected, imaginary continuation of the
barchesse. The interior of Villa Manin is a succession of frescoed rooms grouped around the great
central hall, whose height extends up through all three storeys. The chapel and the stables, where
there is a fine collection of old horse-drawn carriages, are also worth a visit. Behind the villa is a
splendid, secluded and often unnoticed garden, which may also be visited.

The Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC zone lies in the hills that extend along the border of the province
of Udine with Slovenia. The heart of the zone is Cividale, the starting point for our two suggested
itineraries. The first leads northwest in the direction of Faedis, Nimis and Tarcento while the second
heads south east and passes through Manzano, San Giovanni al Natisone and Corno di Rosazzo.
The marl and sandstone soil of the gently rolling hills is terraced to provide an ideal habitat for
viticulture. Thanks to the natural shelter provided by the Julian Pre-Alps, the vines are protected
from the cold north winds.
In the The Colli Orientali are wineries where visitors can taste and purchase wines, farm holiday
and sports facilities, excellent eateries, villages with many minor - and major - art treasures, and the
large vine and wine park, making this one of the most attractive and best prepared parts of Friuli-
Venezia Giulia for a relaxing holiday in the countryside.
Typical products
Gubana cake, sausages, cheeses, honey, grappa and spirits.
Typical dishes
Frico (fried cheese), salami cooked in vinegar, brovada e muset (cotechino sausage with sliced
pomace-steeped turnips), cjarsons (large pasta envelopes), game and trout-based dishes. In the
valleys around Cividale, there are dishes of Slovene origin, such as zlicnjaki, small dumplings
made of flour and acquabizna, a turnip and potato soup. Sweets include gubana and struki.
Itinerary: Cividale - Remanzacco - Povoletto - Tarcento - Nimis - Attimis - Faedis - Torreano
Cividale, the first capital in Italy of the Lombard duchy, in the sixth century after Christ, has even
older origins. It was founded as Forum Iulii around 50 B.C. by Julius Caesar and gave its name to
the whole of its hinterland, which even today is known as Friuli.
Cividale is a town to walk round in search of the very evident traces of its noble past. The
gastaldaga, the heart of Lombard Cividale, extends from Piazza del Duomo to the banks of the river
Natisone. But before you venture into its cobbled alleyways, cross the Ponte del Diavolo, the
“devil’s bridge” that spans one of the loveliest stretches of the river, and enjoy the view of the
ancient houses that cling higgledy-piggledy to the sheer drop over the deep blue-green waters.
Must-see visits in the gastaldaga are the Celtic hypogeum, carved out of the rock, and the eighthcentury
oratory of Santa Maria in Valle, which still conserves the priceless Lombard statues and
stucco reliefs that have somehow survived to the present day. Other marvellous works from the
same period can be admired in the cathedral, where two early mediaeval masterpieces, the
baptistery of Callistus and the altar of Ratchis, have been installed, and in the nearby archaeological
museum, where exhibits include some extremely rare pieces of Lombard gold jewellery. Although
time seems to have stood still in the gastaldaga, the closer you get to Cividale’s lively main square,
