The Thanksgiving Story (FREE ebook)

America’s Thanksgiving commemorates the Pilgrims’ harvest feast, part of the story of the settling of Plymouth Colony, an important period in American history. Since the Pilgrims’ original feast was never repeated, it can’t really be called the beginning of a tradition, nor did the Pilgrims call it a Thanksgiving Feast. Nevertheless, the 1621 feast has become a model for our own Thanksgiving celebration. The Thanksgiving Story is a FREE e-book courtesy of Homeschool Patriot & Knowledge House!

48 pages of Thanksgiving resources including:
-The Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving
-The Mayflower Compact
-The First Ever National Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1777

Pricing Your Home Right the First Time

Thinking of selling a home in Wilmington, NC? Before you get started, you’ll want to make sure you’ve read these handy tips and strategies on pricing your home RIGHT the first time!

things to remember

Important Things to Remember

Before you get started, always remember these four things about the value of your home:

  1. What you paid for your home does not affect the value.
  2. The amount of cash you need from the sale does not affect the value.
  3. What another real estate agency says they can get for the sale of your home does not affect its value.
  4. What an appraiser says your home is worth does not affect its value.

So… what does decide the value of your home?

finding home value

The Buyer Always Determines the Value!

The value of your home is determined by what a willing and able buyer is willing to pay in today’s market based on comparing your home to others currently on the market. So… how do you find that price a buyer is willing to pay?

Remember, today’s buyers are highly value-conscious.

They look at more homes in a wide range. They have more access to market values, which gives them more knowledge on market trends and values. Also, with buyer agency, they receive advice on making offers on homes with the best value.

Solution: Our team will present the same information to you so we can value your home strongly against other homes in the market area. Even the top selling agent with the top selling company cannot sell a home priced incorrectly.

Focus on pricing right the first time you list.

Overpricing a home is the single most harmful factor to your final sales price, as it usually necessitates significantly lowering that price. Your home will generate the most excitement from buyers during the first 4–5 weeks it’s on the market; after the initial period the only buyers viewing your home will be new buyers just coming into the market. Overpricing your home means buyers will choose more competitively priced homes first.

Buyers and agents compare your home to other homes in the market by looking at location, square footage, age and style. Pricing right and making fast adjustments in your price as the market dictates is critical because your property does not have a long “shelf life”. Generally speaking, buyers and agents do not have a positive opinion of homes that stay on the market longer than the area average.

Solution: Request a Home Valuation from our team so we can tell you exactly what your home is worth and ensure you set the price right the first time.

finding the  right price

Pricing Your Home Correctly…

Creates excitement, attractions more buyer appointments, and always leads to a quicker sale for a higher price.

Price is a moving target because the market is always changing based on the motivation of the other sellers you are competing against. You can select the right price today, go to bed tonight, and wake up to a property that is now overpriced based on new listings entering the market and other sellers who decide to reduce their price.

Our team is always watching price closely and advising you of market changes. Be ready to adjust quickly if the market changes. Staying ahead of the changing market and strategically positioning your price against the competition is the only way to win at the Price is Right Game.

Rabbits Make Great Pets

Rabbits are a wonderful choice for a pet. They love to cuddle, enjoy playing and can be taught to use a litter box. On top of that, rabbits get along great with children, as well as other household pets, do not need yearly shots and can even be taken for walks.

It is beneficial for the rabbit, as well as fun for the family, to allow her to run free in a certain room. The kitchen seems to work best for most people because if the rabbit does make a mistake it is easy to clean up her mess from a kitchen floor. For safety reasons, (the rabbits as well as the houses) it is good to restrict a rabbit to one room only. The kitchen, the heart of the home, gives a rabbit constant contact with her human family and allows her to be in the midst of things.

Rabbits love to chew – A common knowledge of rabbits as well as a true fact. They will chew almost anything. This can be hurtful to a rabbit; as it would be with wallpaper glue, may cause death; rabbits will chew on electrical cords and will most definitely be detrimental to your house. Rabbits will peel the wallpaper right off your walls, nibble on the molding of your walls or doorway and eat a couch or table leg. By closing her off to one room, and providing her with things to chew (cardboard box, chunks of wood), your rabbit, and your house, will be better off.

Cuddle Bunnies – Rabbits love to be petted. A rabbit will sit in your lap until you get tired of petting her, get a cramp from sitting there so long or simply get bored. Rabbits can even tell you that they want some love if you let your rabbit run free. She will hop up to you and continually bump her nose to the side or back of your foot until you get the message. Sit down at the table, have a long cup of coffee and massage her with your feet when she shows up – and she will show up.

Rabbits love to play – Provide your rabbit with playthings scattered on the kitchen floor or in her cage. Rabbits love balloons almost as much as they love chewing on things. They will continually bop balloons with their noses, follow them around and bump them back to you if you join in their game. They also like small balls, tubes and anything else that they can roll. Just make sure it is big enough so that the rabbit cannot eat it so, for instance, no marbles.

Rabbits love to munch – Just like us, rabbits love variety in their meals. Sure they require rabbit food, since it does include all the minerals they need, but they also like treats. Rabbits love most vegetables, some fruits and dried Timothy Hay which also has the nutrients they need. Vegetables that rabbits like include Romaine, red or green leaf lettuce, carrots, kale, broccoli, spinach, green peppers and celery. Fruits include apples, blueberries, peaches and strawberries. There are some foods that rabbits can not eat including chocolates, breakfast cereals and pasta. Make sure to get the full list from a rabbit care book.

Rabbits do need some care – Although rabbits are pretty low-maintenance they do need a clean cage, a clean litter box, fresh water from a clean bottle (the bottles get slimy if you do not clean them regularly) and fresh food. They also need their toenails trimmed once in awhile. You can either take them to a groomers for this (around $15) or learn to clip them yourself (pretty easy, just cover the rabbits eyes by turning her face in towards your knees as you kneel on the floor).

With love, a little care, fresh water and food and monthly toenail clippings, a rabbit will make a great pet for anyone.

Recycling service expands

'The less you throw away, the less you pay'

Just in time for Recycling Awareness Week, which begins today, Hood River Garbage Service has expanded its services and offers increased recycling opportunities.

Garbage pick-up rates for all customers have increased slightly, but service is more flexible and customers can recycle more. In addition, recycling pick-up is now offered throughout the county as part of regular garbage service.

"We're giving people more options," said Chery Sullivan, recycling coordinator for Waste Connections, owner of Hood River Garbage Service. Rural residents will have their recyclables picked up every other week, and Hood River Garbage is in the process of creating recycling depots in Odell and Mt. Hood for rural residents who want to take advantage of recycling services more frequently.

Highlights of the expanded service include distribution of more recycling bins to help customers separate recyclables (and allow for a greater volume) and the option of using a 20-gallon mini-can for trash, which will be picked up at a cheaper rate than the regular 32-gallon can.

"The new rate is incentive-based," said David Skakel, coordinator of the Hood River County Recycling Program. "What it comes down to is, the less you throw away, the less you pay." Flexible pick-up schedules combined with increased recycling options will make it possible for customers' rates to actually decrease.

"It involves commitment," said Sullivan. "But for the dedicated recycler, it could actually mean paying less."

The increase in options and flexibility are a direct result of a survey conducted by Hood River Garbage and the Hood River County Recycling Program last December.

"Eighty-seven percent of respondents indicated a desire for some change in recycling service," Sullivan said. "People wanted to be able to recycle more items."

Hood River Garbage purchased a new recycling truck for the rural pick-up routes. "We hope that there will be all kinds of people out there recycling who maybe weren't before," Sullivan said.

Skakel hopes the changes will help the county reach what has been an elusive goal: a 25 percent recovery rate for recyclables. While the statewide recyclable recovery rate rose to nearly 39 percent last year, the rate for Hood River County dropped from 19 to 18 percent for the same period.

Skakel believes Hood River County can "easily attain" the 25 percent recovery goal if everyone takes advantage of the convenient recycling available from Hood River Garbage. He adds that, for people who don't use Hood River Garbage Service, the recycling depot at the Transfer Station at 3440 Guignard Dr. is available for anyone to drop off recyclables free of charge.

All the items you can recycle

Items can be recycled through regular pick-up by Hood River Garbage Service or by taking them to the Transfer Station at 3440 Guignard Drive. Recyclables can be divided into four categories:

* aluminum and tin cans -- rinse, remove labels

* all glass bottles and jars -- rinse, discard lids

* plastic bottles and jugs -- rinse, discard lids

* milk cartons, drink boxes -- rinse, discard straws

Mixed paper:

* junk mail

* magazines

* paper bags

* paper-backs/phone books

* cereal boxes

* gift boxes

* other clean paper

* newspapers and glossy ad inserts -- loose and flattened

Corrugated cardboard:

* clean cardboard -- flatten boxes and fold or cut to 2-foot-square pieces

Sixers’ Green activated

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) – The Philadelphia 76ers have activated guard
Willie Green off the injured list. He had been sidelined since late February
with left heel pain.

Green is averaging 8.1 points and 2.7 rebounds in 44 games (20 starts) this
season. The second-year player enjoyed one of his best games as a professional
on January 26, 2005, when he scored a career-high 32 points at Washington.

In other moves, the Sixers placed forwards Matt Barnes (left knee tendinitis)
and Michael Bradley (low back strain) on the injured list and activated Josh

Davis was placed on the injured list (low back strain) on February 24 and has
missed the last five games. The 6’8″ forward has played in 23 games for the
Sixers this season, including five starts, and is averaging 2.3 points and
1.6 rebounds per game.

Barnes and Bradley were acquired from Sacramento along with Chris Webber
on February 23.

5 Tips for Tech Shopping!

I am somewhat of a techie...my family says I'm a geek, actually! It started out by me trying to help a friend with his website, and eventually I became interested in all things computer, camera, camcorder, audio, etc. I am now a huge Apple/Mac fan, since I got my first MacBook a few months ago, and it has opened a whole new world of technology to explore. So, with the holidays approaching quickly, I thought I'd share a few tips for anyone shopping for the "geek" on their list!

1. Do your research! I have spent quite a bit of time studying out the pros and cons before all my electronic purchases. When looking for a new camcorder, I browsed so many websites, review pages, and learned everything I could about every type of camcorder available. And I have to say, it paid off. I ended up with exactly what I wanted, at a good price.

2. Purchase a warranty. I have done this with every major electronic purchase, and it really is worth it. Back before my Mac, I had to have my computer repaired. It would have cost a lot if I had to pay...but thankfully it was covered under the warranty, which more than paid for itself in that one instance. Also, many warranties also come with an annual cleaning/checkup, which is well worth the cost you'll pay.

3. Compare prices! Check out different stores, and compare the total cost. Include the warranty cost on there as well; an item may be cheaper at one store, but warranty prices vary greatly from store to store. Check it out and make sure you're really getting the best deal possible.

4. Keep an eye out for sales both online and in-store. Sometimes you end up with a better deal if you wait til after Black Friday. Cyber Monday seems to really be offering some great sales, and if you're able to catch it at the right time, you may find a better buy online.

5. This somewhat ties in with the first tip, but ask your friends, family, etc. what they recommend. Especially if they are a "techie" themselves. I have had so many people ask for my advice on purchasing video cameras, computers, anything imaginable. (I even had someone ask for tips about what type of blank dvd's to get!) If someone knows what they're talking about, listen and take their advice. When asking a friend, they're usually not going to be intimidated or try and sell you on a certain product (like some salesmen I've talked to in stores). They'll give you their honest opinion on what has worked best for them, or maybe doesn't work for them.

These are just a few basic tips to help with your tech shopping this holiday season. Let me know if you can think of any others; I'd love to hear what has helped you with your major electronic purchases in the past!

"Staples, the world's largest office products company, is committed to making it easy for customers to buy a wide range of office products and services. Our broad selection of office supplies, electronics, technology and office furniture as well as business services, including computer repair and copying and printing, helps our customers run their offices efficiently.

Gourmet Orchards Review and Giveaway!

I love chocolate-covered peanuts, but I was recently given the opportunity to try some other chocolate covered nuts from Gourmet Orchards.
I received 8 oz. each of Chocolate Pecans, Dark Chocolate Almonds, and Honey-Roasted Peanuts. After tasting each variety, all I can say is WOW!

I became hooked on honey roasted peanuts several years ago, and Gourmet Orchards makes some great honey roasted peanuts! These nuts are slow roasted in a special honey glaze, and they are the perfect snack when you want something sweet and salty! I've had honey roasted peanuts that were too sweet before, but these are perfect.
The dark chocolate almonds (that I had to hide from other family-members by the way!) are also delicious. Almonds are one of my favorite nuts, and when you top them with rich, dark chocolate...can you say scrumptious?! The almonds are very flavorful, and the nutty taste isn't buried in chocolate. You get a full blend of almond and dark chocolate.
Okay, I saved the best for last-Chocolate Pecans. I love pecans, and I love chocolate. Pecans are my all-time favorite nut, and I love to eat them by themselves, or as an add-in to different foods. However, I have found a new favorite, thanks to Gourmet Orchards. When the package came in I opened the chocolate pecans and thought I'd try just one. Ummm....that didn't work. I ate one...then another...then another. I ended up indulging a little! (Hey, it was the day before Thanksgiving...I might as well get started early!) These are the perfect indulgence, and are something I will be purchasing in the future!

If you're looking for some gourmet nuts for a gift basket this year, or would just like a snack for yourself, I highly recommend Gourmet Orchards. Their prices are very reasonable, the nuts are heavenly, and orders are fulfilled very quickly...you can't beat it! Gourmet Orchards also offers seasonal Citrus fruits if you'd like some fruit to go with your nuts!

"At GourmetOrchards.com we take pride in the fact that we offer only the finest gourmet roasted, candied and flavored nuts available to buy! How do we do this? We hand select only the finest ingredients and prepare our gourmet roasted nuts in small batches to ensure that you receive only the finest product available. Try some of our decadent chocolate covered nuts, or some of our premium candied and flavored nuts, you will not be able to put them down!
Love gourmet nuts? Our confectioners go to great lengths to ensure that they are combining the choicest ingredients in just the right amounts in order to provide to you the most satisfying gourmet nuts available online! One way we ensure that you are receiving the best products is by preparing all of our gourmet nuts in small batches in order to preserve quality that you can taste!
Our gourmet citrus cannot be beat! Our world famous citrus has been tested time and time again, and time and time again our citrus has come out on top! We hand select our citrus at the peak of perfection, pack it with the utmost care and ship it to its destination when you place your order to make sure that you receive the freshest citrus money can buy! Bite into one of our sweet, juicy Red Grapefruit or even sweeter and juicer Navel Oranges and you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven!"

Gallery Direct Makes Beautiful Art!

So, I know you're probably tired of hearing me rave about Gallery Direct Art by now, right? Well, I'm about to start raving again, so be prepared! :)

I decided to try a new look for my piece this month, and after uploading a design, chose the paper look. This is a framed print, and I honestly wasn't sure how it would look. But, after all my wonderful experiences with Gallery Direct, I didn't think I would be disappointed. Once again, I was not just pleased, I am absolutely blown away! My design has a cross background, with a verse and chorus from one of my favorite songs. I wanted a dramatic presentation, as I felt that was what this song deserved. When the picture arrived, I was surprised at how large it was (reading the dimensions just didn't prepare me for the size of this print!). I have just the perfect spot picked out for it when I get home, and get to hang it up in my bedroom! The size and frame all do a great job of making this probably my favorite piece yet from Gallery Direct-actually my favorite piece ever. Here's a shot so you can see for yourself, I am NOT exaggerating!

SFF #22 Cafe Press Review and Giveaway!!

Guess who's back? It's my favorite place to shop for personalized and unique clothing, as well as some of the greatest gifts ever. If you're new to my blog and don't know what I'm talking about, it's Cafe Press!

I was able to go shopping with a $50.00 code for Cafe Press, and I found some really nice shirts. Of course, I'm always finding t-shirts and other items on Cafe Press to add to my "wish list", so the real problem was deciding which shirts to get! After placing my order, it was only a short time before my order arrived.
The first t-shirt I ordered is a salute to my birthplace-Maxwell Air Force Base, located in Montgomery, AL. I actually stumbled onto this design; I was searching the "southern" designs, and the Maxwell Air Force Base design popped up! As soon as I saw it, I knew it was a must-have; although I don't live there anymore, I am very proud of being an Alabama girl, and being born at the AFB where my Dad was stationed at the time! I wear this tee quite frequently, and very proudly :)

The second shirt I chose is the Bass Lover White Heart T-shirt. The tee is a solid chocolate brown with a heart made of bass clefs on the front. It's very cute, and very "me", as I love music and anything music-related. The shirt itself is very comfy, and has become my go-to tee for days around the house, or running into town for groceries. The sizing is great too, and even after literally dozens of washes, the shape and color has remained like new!

Stay up to date on any specials by following Cafe Press on Twitter, or "like" them  on Facebook!

SFF #21 Celtic Ring Review!!

As I type this post, I have a beautiful new ring on my finger that is quite the attention-getter. No, it's not a huge band or stone, or a really bright color that draws attention. It's just a very elegant, lovely ring that is rather unique. It hails all the way from Ireland, a company called Celtic Wedding Rings
(And no, in case you're wondering, I haven't gotten married recently :)

Celtic Wedding Rings offered me the chance to review one of their Birthstone Claddagh Rings. Obviously I chose the ring for my birth month, December. The December ring features a Blue Topaz stone embedded in the middle. I was able to use the online ring sizer to find the perfect size. (My past couple online ring orders didn't turn out so well, as it appears sizes change with some companies). When the ring came in, I was very pleased to find that it fit perfectly! I'm getting ahead of myself though :)
The ring arrived well packaged, and in a little padded ring box for safekeeping. It's a very pleasing presentation for an absolutely lovely ring!

2 hands hold the heart-shaped Blue Topaz in place, which is topped by a crown. It's very feminine, and very pretty! I have received so many compliments while wearing this ring; not just about how pretty it is, but the unique design as well. Of course, I'm proud to tell people that it's a genuine Claddagh ring from Ireland!

If you're looking for a special new ring or other piece of jewelry, check out Celtic Wedding Rings today! Or, if you're getting married soon (or just need a new wedding ring) you can't get any more beautiful piece than from Celtic Wedding Rings!

"The unmatched craftsmanship and beauty of Celtic jewelry makes a distinctly stunning impression. Celtic rings and pendants make ideal wedding gifts because they embody a rich history and signify an unbreakable bond between hearts. Claddagh rings and Celtic engagement rings are just some of the trademark pieces of Celtic jewelry that we carry. In addition, our Celtic wedding rings otherIrish wedding rings and Claddagh rings allow couples to express their love with matchless elegance."

Great Lengths Hair Extensions

Okay, so I've never looked into getting a hair extension, as my hair is naturally long and full. However, I do know women who want some extra length, or feel like their hair just doesn't look right. If I was going to get a hair extension, I believe I would want to go with human hair, as it tends to look much more natural and "right"-obviously for good reason!

If you or someone you know is looking into hair extensions, then you may wan to check out Great Lengths Hair Extensions. They use 100% human hair, and have a unique patented system so the extension attaches securely to your own hair. They also allow you to style the hair however you wish, whether it's curling, coloring or straightening! Check it out today!

Thanks for the post from Barney Crosby.

My sister and I both love to bake. We recently started baking a lot of cupcakes. We have been experimenting with different flavors and fillings. We both only work part time, and we both could use some extra money, so we had the idea of starting to sell our cupcakes online. It would be like an online bakery and we were going to call it “Baby Cakes.” We had to do a lot of research about what all was involved with starting an online business. We knew that we needed to start by designing a website. My dad told me to search “t1 internet” online to find information for setting up internet for small businesses. Once we got all of the logistics taken care of, we were so happy to start posting all of our different cupcakes on our website. This is by far the most fun job I have ever had. However, it is really hard not to sample all of our products. If I am not careful, I will have to be starting a weight loss business too.

SFF #20-Midnight Velvet Review and Giveaway!!

Hey ladies, if you're looking for the perfect fashion shopping site, then let me introduce you to Midnight Velvet. Midnight Velvet sells some of the most beautiful dresses, skirt suits and separates that I have ever seen!

I receive the Slate Cascade Suit for review from Midnight Velvet. This is a beautiful skirt with matching jacket, in a cool slate blue color.

The skirt is 38 inches long (love the long length!) with elastic waist insets and a back zipper. The jacket is my favorite part of the set; it has a satin cascade color that is absolutely stunning! The jacket features a modesty panel that can be worn with the shiny satin side (that matches the ruffled collar) out, or the fabric which matches the rest of the suit. It is also removable, if you prefer to wear a different shirt underneath; I enjoy pairing the suit with a mock turtleneck for a different look. When I first tried this on, I could not believe how gorgeous it looked! It is definitely the perfect outfit for those special occasions, and I actually felt glamorous wearing this suit :) I can not say enough about how beautiful the Slate Cascade Suit is! As well, the suit is very well made, and seems like it will last (with good care) for quite a while. I will be saving this for extra dressy events!

"Founded in 1987 we set out to create a shopping experience that invites you to immerse yourself in a world of dramatic fashions, glamorous jewelry, fragrances and exotic home décor that delights you with its quality and beauty.

SFF #19 Miche Bags Review and Giveaway!!

Do you ever get tired of changing out your purse when you want a new look, or have an outfit that just doesn't match your current bag? You know, when you get all dressed up for that special evening, but your pink and brown purse just looks odd when paired with your blue dress? I know, we've all probably experienced that! However, there is a great way to avoid ever having to deal with the issue again-simply get yourself a Miche Bag!

Miche Bags are, quite honestly, probably one of the most ingenious things I've seen in quite some time. Basically, you choose your "base bag" first. There are several styles and sizes available, from a petite clutch-style, to a large bag designed for mothers who end up carrying all the kid's toys, pacifiers, etc.! From there, you have a variety of shells to choose, whether you'd like a simple black or brown, or a fancy, glamorous design-or anything in between.

I received the Demi Base Bag and 2 Shells for my review; the Reyna and Deidre. The Deidre is a black, with a very subtle diamond pattern that will match just about anything. It can be casual, or take it out for an evening dinner.

A close-up shot of the detailed design on the Deidre shell

The Reyna is a little bit more glitzy, with it's hot fuchsia color and shiny finish. With extra pockets on the outside, and bold stud details, it is definitely not for the woman who doesn't like to stand out in a crowd!

The Demi Bag itself is a nice size; very roomy, but not an oversized bag. With 4 pockets (1 zippered), a cell phone pocket and 2 pen holder pockets, you will be able to keep everything nice and organized. With the Demi bag, there's no excuse to have a messy purse! The Demi bag comes with handles, and features a zippered top so you won't ever lose any of your belongings. I love the khaki lining inside too! I am seriously in love with the whole Miche Bag system; it is the best purse/handbag I have ever had!

The Reyna shell magnetic strips that keep the shell attached to the base bag

" You start with a Base Bag—Classic, Demi, Prima or Petite—then add any one of our stylish Shells and you're ready for your busy day. Which "you" are you feeling like today? Fun? Flirty? Sophisticated? All business? No problem. You can give your Miche Bag the exact look you want in 3 seconds or less. Now that's instant gratification!"

Medieval Times Is A Great Place To Visit!!

As a young girl, one of my biggest dreams was to one day visit Medieval Times. We visited the Orlando, FL area several times when I was younger, and every time we drove by, or I saw a brochure for the attraction, I would dream of being able to go. The biggest draw for me was the horses, but the whole idea of seeing "knights" jousting, sword fighting, and performing other daring feats, was a dream I thought would never come true. Well, last week that dream did finally come true! (Note: to view more photos and video from our visit, please check out my album on Photobucket by clicking here).

I was able to visit the Medieval Times location in Kissimmee, FL; right near Orlando. Due to traffic (if you've ever been to Orlando you know what this is like) we arrived a few minutes later than planned. I was surprised to see that they have a Medieval Village outside for people to wander through.

 This looked very interesting, but we didn't have time to take it all in. After getting our tickets, we were given our table number, and crowns for the 4 of us to wear. The seating is separated into 6 sections, by color: Red, Yellow, Green, Black and White, Red and Yellow, and Blue. We were in the red section, so we all donned our red crowns. As we proceeded through, we were given a photo opportunity, which you can purchase later in the gift area.

Outside the actual dining/tournament area, there are a couple areas to shop for gifts-from calendars and keychains to knight costumes, swords, and chess sets. A few minutes before the event begins, the Lord Chancellor gathers everyone into a circle and makes a few announcements. Then, everyone is seated according to their color theme. Once inside and seated, we were shortly served a bowl of tomato soup, and choice of beverage (tea, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi or Sierra Mist). Our table was served by Erich, a very helpful "slave" (as he told us to call him), and kept on top of refilling our drinks, and making sure we were comfortable. Dining is a unique experience at Medieval Times, as there is no silverware provided. The soup is consumed by drinking it from the bowl, and the other foods are eaten by hand. Throughout the duration of the show, we were served garlic bread, roasted potatoes (these are absolutely delicious!), half a chicken, barbecue ribs, and for dessert, an apple turnover. The meal in itself is something to remember, but add to that the show, and you have a real winner!

The tournament started by the Prince of the realm being captured by evil knights, while he was on his way to sign a peace treaty with a neighboring country. As he is led out in chains, the Lord Chancellor, who is the announcer for the evening, comes in to introduce the story behind the show. After many years of wars and fighting, the King had at last made peace with the kingdom of Leone. In honor of this great event, he has called for a feast and tournament, where his best knights will show off their prowess. Although the King and Princess are concerned for the Prince's delayed return, they decide to go ahead with the scheduled event.

Each knight is individually introduced, and he in turn circles the arena before halting in front of his color-themed part of the seats. After this, the King rides out, followed by his entourage of squires.

As he rides out and ascends his throne, several horses are led out, and perform various dances and moves. This was every bit as beautiful as I had imagined so many years ago!

Next up, the Falconer shows off his bird's amazing hunting skills. As the Falcon soars over the audience's heads, it's a thrilling experience! When he finally makes the dive, the strength of the bird is clearly seen.

Next 6 horses and riders come out, and perform a synchronized dance. This really amazed me, at how in tune the horses and riders were with each other!

At this point, the knights re-appear for some riding exercises. First it's catching a ring with their lance, as they race through the arena. Then it's a sort of relay race, as two knights ride in tandem, tossing their respective flags back and forth to each other. I was impressed at how easy they made this look! They had perfect timing, and this was a very impressive feat. Next up, it's "target practice" time, and each knight takes turns racing out and throwing a spear into a target.

Before the jousting begins, a lone rider appears on a dark bay horse, and executes the most beautiful dance I have ever seen. The video does not do this justice; it is breathtaking!

As he exits, the knights come back in full armor, and get right down to business.

 They take turns in jousting, finishing up with hand-to-hand combat, using a variety of weapons. As one knight takes out another, a replacement is sent out, until finally all that is left are the Red and the Green knights. Each fighting sequence is extremely realistic, and again, the timing and obvious teamwork is

When at last the Red knight is victorious over the final opponent (or so we think), the Green knight from Leone attacks, and lets it be known that he has the Prince of the realm in captivity. The Prince is then led forth, and the Green knight demands that the Kingdom be given over to his authority. At this point, although battle-weary and wounded, the Red knight makes his move. The Prince escapes his captors as well, and it is a blazing fight to the finish! As the Red knight and the Prince work together, they defeat the Green knight and his many warriors, bringing peace again to the kingdom!
The Red Knight (our Knight for the evening) is victorious!
The Prince joined in the fight!

At the battle's end, all the knights return for a farewell round, and the King, Prince, Princess and Lord Chancellor make a last appearance.

After the show, we were able to speak with a couple of the performers, including David, who plays the Prince. We asked how often they have to practice, and I was simply astounded at the answer! We were told that each performer practices for 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week. With such dedication to their job, it's no wonder that the show comes off as realistic! We also spoke with Gabriel, one of the Kingdom's trumpeters.

As our family left Medieval Times, we all decided that it was the best live show we had ever seen, and well worth the cost of admission! You will leave the show exhilarated and entertained, having spent a couple of hours in 11th century Spain-the age of chivalry!

Medieval Times has castles in several locations throughout the US (and one in Canada), so check the website to see the closest one near you. I recommend planning a trip for family vacation, a birthday or other special occasion, or just as a treat for yourself! You will not be disappointed!

Sweaters For Spring!!

There are many reasons why I prefer cooler weather, and one of them is the fact that I love sweaters. Sweaters are probably my absolute favorite way to dress up any outfit! I love pairing a pretty, feminine sweater with a denim skirt for a classy, yet casual look. Or, when I'm dressing up for a special event, I usually reach for that black skirt and-you guessed it-a sweater or cardigan!

Of course, if you're shopping for womens sweaters, then the first place I recommend you look is on Down East Basics. I have a lovely cardigan that I got from Down East Basics last year, and it is absolutely beautiful! A light purple color, and very lightweight so I can wear it even toward the beginning of summer.

I was recently looking at the selection of sweaters on Down East Basics, and found two that I really really like!
The first one is called Sunrise Cardi, available in white or rose red. I love the short sleeves and ruffled neck!

Another one of my favorites from DEB is the Dallop Cardi; I love the ribbed waistband on this one!

Check out the selection of womens sweaters for yourself, and see if you don't fall in love with at least one of their adorable sweaters! Oh, and Down East Basics is running a great special with an extra 40% off their sale items right now! It's in honor of President's Day, so I don't know how much longer it will be up. Hurry up and shop!

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

This Physical Cleansing Scrub from Nia 24 is completely fragrance, color and dye free. That means that even with my sensitive skin, I can use this scrub without worrying about any negative results!

It also contains oat, chamomile and sage, which soothes your skin while cleansing and exfoliating. After using the Nia 24 Physical Cleansing Scrub for a few weeks now, I can honestly say it has made a visible difference.

Its unique formula helps to rebuild the skin’s barrier from the inside out, which reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and also improves the skin’s texture and tone.

Nia 24’s science is based on more than 25 years of biomedical research by scientists Myron and Elaine Jacobsen. As principle scientists for Niadyne, the maker of Nia 24, they developed a new, patented niacin molecule, Pro-Niacin™, which allows niacin to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate DNA repair."

Sharlto Copley To Play The Villain In Oldboy Remake?

Chris Savage

There has been recent speculation as to who will play the villain in Spike Lee’s upcoming remake of Oldboy, and each time all the names announced seem to get debunked, so could we have finally found our villain for the remake?

According to Variety, Sharlto Copley (District 9) has been offered the villain role in Spike Lee’s Oldboy remake for Mandate Pictures. Also rounding off the cast at this time is Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Olsen.

If Copley does indeed sign on, he will play a “mysterious billionaire out to destroy the protag’s life, while Olsen will play a caseworker who helps Brolin’s character investigate the past.”

The Oldboy remake follows, “Brolin as a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years for unknown reasons. When inexplicably released, he sets out to find out who held him hostage and why.”

Paradise Papers: Private equity firm made struggling care home operator take costly loan

Britain’s second biggest care home operator was made to borrow money through a very expensive loan from its private equity owner in a deal designed to extract £890m in cash from the struggling business.

The disclosures are likely to raise fresh concerns over the future of Four Seasons Health Care, which operates more than 300 care homes across the UK, and has been drowning in debt.

Described in reports as teetering on the brink of ruin, Four Seasons has been hammered by cuts to council care budgets brought on by years of austerity.

Filings in the tax haven of Luxembourg and data from the Paradise Papers reveal how Terra Firma hoped to make a vast profit from the business after acquiring it in 2012.

Four Seasons was made to borrow £220m from Terra Firma subsidiaries. The repayment terms were huge – 15% interest a year, on a compound basis, over 10 years.

By 2022, when it was due to be repaid, Four Seasons would have owed its controlling shareholder four times the original sum.

Belated Birthday

solomon-kane3Here’s to Robert E. Howard, creator of my favorite genre, sword-and-sorcery, on the anniversary of his birth. Raise high your goblets and drink deep.

What is best about Robert E. Howard’s writing? The driving headlong pace, the seemingly inexhaustible imagination, the splendid cinematic prose poetry, the never-say-die protagonists? It is hard to pick one thing, so it may be simpler to state that Robert E. Howard possessed profound and often astonishing storytelling gifts. Without drowning his readers in adjectives (he had the knack of using just enough adjectives or adverbs, and knew to let the verbs do the heavy lifting) or slowing pace, he brought his scenes to life. Vividly.

Writer Eric Knight may have most succinctly described this particular aspect of Howard’s power in an article on Solomon Kane:

“’Wings of the Night’ features a marathon running fight through ruin, countryside, and even air that only a team of computer animators with a sixty-million dollar budget and the latest rendering technology (or a single Texan from Cross Plains hammering the story out with worn typewriter ribbon) could bring properly to life.”

Howard was only 30 when he died in 1936, meaning the bulk of his best prose — and there was a lot of it — was created when he was between 25 and 30 years of age, which makes his achievements that much more astonishing. Bram Stoker, Ian Fleming, and Arthur Conan Doyle created characters who are now rooted firmly in our popular imagination. Edgar Rice Burroughs did the same with Tarzan, and anyone who digs even a little further into his work knows John Carter is an also ran. Howard’s Conan, too, has achieved popular recognition, but there is much more to Howard than the dull barbarian depicted in the movies, one which bears but passing resemblance to the character from the stories. There was King Kull, and Solomon Kane, and Bran Mak Morn, and El Borak, and more obscure characters like James Allison, Steve Costigan, and one of my personal favorites, Turlogh Dubh O’Brien. The deeper you dig into Howard’s canon, the more treasures you find. Some of my most favorite stories are his historicals, never as popular among readers perhaps because there are so few serial characters among them, or perhaps because there are few fantastic elements within. The action and pace and all else is there, along with some of his very finest prose and plotting.

crimson-shadowsI didn’t really discover Howard until nearly 20 years ago, when I decided that if I was serious about writing fantasy I needed to explore its roots and understand where it came from. Oh, I’d seen Conan on the bookshelves and on comic book covers, but the endless rows of pastiche Conan and the fellow who was frequently running around in a loincloth on those covers didn’t much interest me. I incorrectly assumed it was all rubbish.

Most of the pastiche IS rubbish, although I have a few favorites among that work, but more to the point, when I finally read the actual Robert E. Howard prose and not the adaptions, I found something startling. Some people were amazed that I enjoyed it so much — wasn’t it sexist? Racist? Simplistic?

Sometimes. You can’t take an author out of his time.  If Howard had written with today’s political correctness in the 1930s, he couldn’t have made a living.   Sure, a lot of the women are in Conan stories to be rescued (generally when Howard REALLY needed a sale), but there are strong female characters within his work, just as heroism can be found amongst many races within Howard’s stories.

Some of the plots are pretty simple, even if they are compelling, but much of Howard’s fiction has far more going on within than there would appear to be on the surface, which is part of its appeal. Mere mindless action would not have endured so long and still be capturing new fans, me among them.

You have to take Howard at his own terms, however. If you wander in expecting to find a trove of lit fiction or teenage vampire angst, or if you look with disdain upon tales of adventure, you’re apt to be disappointed. REH was ahead of his time in many ways, but he was a Texan writing for the pulp magazines in the early 1930s. Toss that in with his aforementioned youth before you take any issues with what you find in his prose.

grim-landsIf you’re new to Howard, where can you find him? I suggest either volume of Del Rey’s Best of Robert E. Howard books, Crimson Shadows or Grim Lands. Try four or five stories out of there and see if you don’t notice what so many of the rest of us have seen. If you don’t, well, we all have different likes and dislikes. I won’t hold it against you.

But if you DO see something you like, read on, because there’s more. A lot more. Those best of volumes aren’t like greatest hits collections of bands that had one good track per disc. That’s just a choice sampling, for there wasn’t nearly enough room in those best of volumes to get all the good stuff. No, if you like what you find when you stumble into the worlds of Robert E. Howard, you’ll have plenty to read for a long while, and much to revisit.

Not a year goes by that I don’t reread at least a handful of his yarns, reveling in a narrative power that still sweeps me up so fully that I stop noticing the words and fall between them, into the story.

In truth, I cannot single out the best thing or even the three best things in Robert E. Howard’s writing, but I name him one of my three favorite writers. Here’s to you, Bob. Today we celebrate the gifts you’ve left us. I wish that I might have thanked you in person for them. Since I cannot, I cherish your stories, and raise a toast to you in appreciation.

We provide perfect patient care as evidence by meeting core measures in all expected areas such as Sepsis, CVA and VTE.  Our standards for concurrently monitoring and high accountability are the basis for our good patient outcomes.  Providing best-practice and quality care for reducing hospital acquired infections, such as CDIFF, CLABSI & CAUTIs is a major priority for all care givers. Striving to improve fall rates, mortalities and readmissions is also a continual focus for performance improvement here at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital.

Daily Quality Nursing Huddle: Twice a day the quality facilitator and nurse manager huddle at the nurse’s station with staff to review safety concerns, patient safety list and observations.

We utilize Team STEPPS – a teamwork system designed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality that focuses on improving patient safety through  communication and collaboration among caregivers.

Team STEPPS focuses on briefings, huddles, and debriefings and encourages nurses to speak up and be an active participant in improving patient quality and safety.

Patient Experience

  • We strive to give each patient and family a perfect patient experience.
  • Our nurses and aides are trained to use AIDET in each interaction and model our core values in their daily routines.
  • Each area practices the proven best practices of Hourly Rounding, Leadership Rounding, and Discharge Callbacks.
  • Teams made up of front line colleagues and hospital leaders meet bi-monthly to discuss scores, possible improvement opportunities as well as plan celebrations for staff accomplishments.

I Promise Leader Rounding

CNO Safety Rounds-CNO attends each department huddle biweekly to ask and round with staff of safety events in the department and staff’s concerns and ideas. This is placed on the department stoplight report for update on actions.

CNO Safety Rounds-Our Chief Nurse rounds through our departments looking for safety improvement opportunities and discussing patient safety with the frontline colleagues. This exchange facilitates conversations that lead to innovative safety measures.

Dear Readers: Here are a couple of responses that came in to a recent sound off about handicapped parking spots:

"Your column printed a letter complaining about able-bodied people parking in handicapped parking spaces while leaving the handicapped person in the parked car.

"My 90-year-old mother-in-law can walk only a few feet, but she still loves to get out. She loves to sit in the car and watch people while they go into a store. If I don't park up front in the parking lot, she cannot see people coming in and out of the store. This is one of the few activities she can enjoy. - A Caring Daughter-in-Law in Montana"

"I do not want to leave my mom out in the parking lot by herself. I feel it is safer to have her closer to the store, where there are more people around. - Margaret in California"

Thanks for your letters and showing us a different point of view on the subject. - Heloise

Dear Readers: Other uses for floor-cleaning-cloth containers:

* Storing receipts or paid bills.

* Housing rags for car or garage.

* Keeping paintbrushes and craft supplies in.

* Using as a drawer organizer.

* Corralling small toys.

- Heloise

Dear Heloise: Do you have any hints on how to care for your flag and extend its life? - Jim D. in San Antonio

Dear Jim: I do, and I am happy to share this information from a major flag manufacturer! Make sure your flag is made for outdoor use before displaying it outside. Try to limit the flag's exposure to rain, snow and high winds. The elements can shorten the flag's life.

Clean your flag regularly. Hand-wash with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse completely and lay it out to dry. Make sure it is completely dry before storing.

Be careful where you hang your flag. You do not want your flag blowing into anything that will harm it.

Inspect your flag often. Check for damage, and normal wear and tear. Remember that if a flag is too worn or damaged, it should no longer be flown, and should be retired properly. Check with veteran organizations or the American Legion to find out more. - Heloise

Dear Heloise: My husband and I often rent movies on our television through the cable company. Whenever we rent a movie, I write the title on the calendar. When we get our monthly bill, I go over it and make sure we are charged for only what we rented. - Caroline in Georgia

Dear Heloise: My hint is so obvious, I wonder why I didn't see it sooner. All those hangers for pants have a clip on either end. Just cut off the clip - now you have two chip clips. You can have a never-ending supply. - Lucy M. in San Antonio

The best way to keep up to date with Heathfield & Waldron RFC

U8 - Match center

Lewes Festival
Heathfield & Waldron RFC
Sun 10 Apr 10:00 - Festival Postponed

U8's 5 out of 5 to Win Lewes Festival

Fun times for these guys !

The scene was set for another wonderful Festival with the weather starting with glorious sunshine and temperatures set to increase from the slight chill in the air of first thing.

The Festival format was that of Two pools consisting of Heathfield, Lewes, Uckfield, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath with each pool winners going on to a play off to determine the age group winners and runners up.

We played two equally inclusive and capable teams and Team 1 were faced with a very tight group it turns out. You just never know what other clubs will do at these festivals so it's a bit of a lottery when contemplating team selection. Match 1 was a close game and Uckfield got revenge from the East Sussex festival with a 6-5 win. Then came Haywards Heath who are always a tough club to beat and Heathfield came away with a triumphant 8-5 win. East Grinstead was a 5-5 draw but with a couple of dubious referee decisions allowing East Grinstead to pull off a draw. The last match against Lewes 1 again was a great match with a 9-7 win for Heathfield. This left the group incredibly close and Heathfield missed out on winning the group by 1 point.

Heathfield 2 got off to a solid start with an emphatic 9-3 win over Uckfield 2 and went on to beat Lewes 7-6, Lewes 3 9-5 and East Grinstead 8-4 propelling them into the pool winners play off final.

East Grinstead 1 were clearly fired up by their coaches for the final match which was very tight, a couple of turn overs for both teams meant it was a nail biter with Sam and Adam both scoring a Try in the first half keeping the score level at half time and again in the second half Adam & Sam again scored a Try each and with East Grinstead only scoring 1 Try allowing Heathfield to finish off with a very close 4-3 win giving them an overall age group winners trophy continuing the success of the season. Some of the tagging from both teams was the best I've seen from any team this season. Quite breath taking at times.

All credit goes to the players, the coaching team and the parent supporters who were some of the best behaved in the Tournament. Well done everyone on yet another fabulous performance and result for this squad.

FreebchWe at FreeBch.ca majorly focus on trading Bitcoin Cash day in day out and make substantial profit. Before trading in Bitcoin Cashs, we were involved in Forex and Derivatives. But Bitcoin Cash grabbed attention of all most all traders because of it's uniqueness and decentralisation. Thus we could not stop ourselves as well and started using our forex trading experience for this Crypto Currency. Initially we were making very small profit but after building strategies, the profit ratio started climbing up for us. A lot of people found it difficult to trade Bitcoin Cash due to it's price volatility but for us "Volatility Is Our Opportunity" and we started putting profits back in to trading to gain more return. Money makes more money with perfect strategy. After years of combined experience we can offer steady profit to our investors and that's how FreeBch.ca was formed. We are confident because we share the risk as someone said "Never put all your eggs in one basket". Therefore our team trade in Forex and Derivatives as well.

Popular South Korean record label SM Entertainment recently revealed that the firm has no plans to release its boy band EXO's next Christmas album this December.

Speculations regarding the music group's next album started doing the rounds after a popular production company named Joombas tweeted about their collaboration with the band that read: "Coming this winter #EXO #Christmas #EXO #SM #Joomba." The post immediately captured the attention of many EXO fans and they started discussing about the group's upcoming release.

However, immediately after the production company noticed that the post is going viral and capturing unnecessary attention, they deleted it from their social media account. Meanwhile, SM Entertainment released an official statement regarding the recent buzz and revealed that the company has no plans to release a Christmas album of EXO in the near future, according to Soompi.

Since the boy band released their first Christmas album, "Miracles", in December 2013 and they are yet to reveal any details about their next project, the followers of the music group still consider the speculation as a leaked information and are eagerly waiting for the upcoming release.

The EXO members are currently busy with the preparations of their performance at the Japanese music festival, a-nation. The festival will be held in Tokyo on Wednesday, 4 November, wherein they will release their first Japanese single. They made their debut in the Japanese entertainment industry through their television show "EXO Channel" on 7 August.

The nine-member group is also set to rule the stage of Japan with their EXOPLANET ï¼ƒ2 - The EXO'luXion concert tour from 6 November. During their concert tour, EXO will woo the audience with hit songs such as "Growl", "Call Me Baby" and "Love Me Right" from their popular albums. After creating some waves in Tokyo, they will be at the stadiums of Kyocera Dome in Osaka from 13 to 15 November.

Posted: October 11, 2012 in Music

Last Saturday I had the privilege of going to my first Garbage concert at the Ogden Theater in Denver, Colorado. I have been a huge fan of Garbage since 1995 when they first debuted. The concert was amazing. I was maybe ten feet from the stage and was right in front of guitarist Steve Marker. […]

Congress 2013 feedback

Monday, June 24, 2013

It’s been just over two weeks since Congress 2013 wrapped up, and we’re still receiving some really valuable feedback; our annual post-Congress survey has brought in hundreds of responses already, and we’ve had a great collection of blog posts shared with us by attendees reflecting on their experience.

Here at the Federation, we strive to ensure that the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences is well-organized, productive, and enjoyable for all. We send out a survey at the end of every Congress and work to incorporate the feedback we receive into the following year’s planning. By completing our survey, you can help us to develop in both logistics and programming, and provide us with your thoughts on any areas with room for improvement. Your comments are truly valuable to us, so we encourage you to let us know how you feel, even just by sending us an email or a tweet. Our Congress 2013 survey closes on July 5th, 2013, and can be found here.

We’d also like to read your blog! If you’ve been writing about your Congress experience and wish to share your thoughts, stories, and insights with us, please send us the link to your blog via Twitter or to info[at]

As always, a huge thank-you to everyone who attended Congress, as well as all those who helped to make it happen: the University of Victoria; our sponsors; our member associations, scholars, and institutions; this year’s volunteers, contractors, performers, and reporters; and the beautiful city of Victoria’s truly welcoming community.

We had a great time this year, and captured highlights from the week in both images and words – check out the videos section on our website to see the Big Thinking lectures, and visit our Facebook page to see pictures from around Congress as well as an archive of articles about the event.

The 2014 Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences will be held at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario from May 24th-30th. In the meantime, keep an eye on the Federation’s blog and Twitter feed for updates on social sciences and humanities news, as well as information on all of the exciting initiatives we have planned for this year.

Faculty Spotlight: Matt Hurteau – “Work and play and trees”

Matt Hurteau spends more time in trees than the average person.

“I wanted to get a degree in something that would allow me to focus my attention on the natural world” Hurteau says.

And that is exactly what he did.  After a stint with a pharmaceutical company, where he used vacation time to go backpacking, Hurteau went back to school and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Forestry from Northern Arizona University in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of California, Davis in 2007.
