Indiana Bicentennial Barn

February 26, 2016

Indiana celebrates its 200th anniversary as the 19th state in 2016. Last year, a contest was launched to honor Indiana's rural heritage and its future by recognizing barns. Any Indiana barn that was built prior to 1950 was eligible. The over 200 entries that best celebrated Indiana's classic barns and their impact on our economy and history were considered. From those entries, 10 were selected as examples possessing architectural and historic features, aesthetics, character and condition, geographic distribution and construction demonstrating Indiana's best.

We are proud that our barn was selected among the top ten! Below is the narrative we included in our entry in the contest:

As visitors approach our farm on County Road 400 , they have no doubt that that have arrived at

Heritage Farm Suri Alpacas. The big red gambrel barn with the brown Suri on the roof beckons them to investigate the real alpaca treasures inside. The barn is one of three historic structures on the farm (the others being our federal style brick farmhouse and the 1850's hand-hewn log cabin featured in our winter 2006 newsletter).

The main barn at Heritage Farm was built in 1904 by a local barn builder named Otho Rodkey. The 40’ x 60’ barn is primarily constructed of 12 x 12 hand-hewn oak timbers that were recycled from an even older dismantled barn. Although I’ve often studied the timbers and joinery on the old barn, I only discovered a couple years ago that one of the massive timbers that support the rafters spans the entire 60’ length of the barn without a splice!

The barn serves as the center of our alpaca business. The relative open interior allows us to use temporary panels to divide off areas for alpacas that are grouped by age, gestational status and sex. We house up to 50 alpacas in the barn. One of the features that our alpacas really appreciate are the large wagon doors on the east and west sides of the barn which are opened in the summer allowing a cooling breeze to flow through the nave. The nave is the open center area of the barn between the wagon doors. We discovered that the area derives its name from the Latin word “navis”, meaning “ship” as in the English word “navy”. The reason for this is that when you stand in the nave and look upward to the underside of the barn roof, it looks like the interior of a wooden boat with its frames (roof rafters) and planks (roof purlin boards). The 16’ wide nave once was where wagon loads of harvested hay were pulled into the barn to be unloaded by the hay forks on the overhead trolley system. It now serves as a shearing “room” where we harvest the fleece from the alpacas each spring.

In 2003, we invested in a new roof. Again, we stayed away from many recommendations to cover it with steel and instead opted for an interlocking diamond-shaped, asphalt shingle. The shape of this shingle allows designs to be incorporated into the installation. We chose an Indiana roofer that has done many of the Art Roof barns around the Midwest. Tim designed the roof on diamond shaped graph paper and created a stylized suri alpaca using the diamond shaped shingles to give the impression of twisted suri locks. The other side of the roof is an "H" superimposed on top of an "F" for Heritage Farm. It was a lot of fun seeing how it turned out and needless to say, we have a one-of-a-kind roof!

A complete listing of the Bicentennial Barns can be found here.

New GTAIV trailer nears, interweb implosion imminent

We can hear the excitement grow among GTA fans, as well as outrage among those against violent video games. Nonetheless, Rockstar is set to debut its third and latest trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV.

Launching via its official website, the trailer will be viewable as of 8pm GMT today. That is, if the servers don't crash which more often than not, they do.

Move up, ladies

If you're unable to crawl onto the website later this evening, the Gamerscoreblog advises that Xbox 360 users will also be able to download the trailer via Xbox Live Marketplace.

Grand Theft Auto IV is scheduled for a 2008 release.

Not a bad trailer. Not the most exciting (I was never one for the GTA games) but the music is pretty funky. :O_o1:
Cant wait, Its giong to be awesome

edit: ooo, 1000 posts!!

yay :D
GO WATCH NOW! on either xbox live or GRAND THEFT AUTO IV
literally blew my tits off.the best game ever much! sorry but thats biased but OH MY GOD! nothing you'd class as “new” but for me liberty city aka gta3/lcs has always been the best simply because it's new york and yeah gta3 never gets old to play it in a assassin creed kinda powered city (as in FULL of people and newer graphics) is going to be insane. even if the plot sucks which it doesn't by the looks of it judging by who you meet etc… it'll still be the most realistic/vivid/fun/playable/re playable/etc etc gta ever. i just can't put it into words.
unbelievable tbf!
for those that haven't seen it LOOK NOW! go on live. Its also on the official site aswell GRAND THEFT AUTO IV
watching that on my 37" 1080i hdtv was just incredible… I can't wait to be playing it and with more exclusive content coming june (according to an E3 video on live) its just gonna be the best game of the year.
apologies for the childishness but just wow want it now!
what you guys think then? and also how amazing do the police choppers look!
this looks nothing special compared to say GTA 3

Slightly newer hardware for it to run on, so better effects on things like the water by the looks of it.

GTA is a great game, so I'm sure it will be playable, but there is nothing amazing in this trailer.
Dont worry about Mr ‘always’ negative, keef i think it looks blinding as well, especially on my 50" hd sammy, really cant wait for this as well, looks like the delay was a very positive thing. Of course this will be playable, whats the point of rockstar putting all this effort in to make an unplayable game ‘duh’:juggle:

HONOR View20’s Top 3 Highlights

As a leading smartphone e-brand, HONOR will release HONOR View20, which is a new smartphone powered by Kirin 980 with a 48 MP camera and full-view display at the end of 2018 to give the users a better phone experience.

Then, what is the newly released HONOR smartphone? The answer is HONOR View20

It is said that HONOR View20 will be powered by Kirin 980 with the success of GPU Turbo, and enable the users to enjoy two global-first key important features: the 48 MP rear camera and the HONOR FullView display. These three points will push HONOR View20 to be a good-seller by the end of 2018. Now let’s go on and read the details of HONOR View20’s top 3 highlights: Kirin 980, 48 MP rear camera and full-view display.

1) Kirin 980

HONOR View20’s Kirin 980

The Kirin 980 is the world's first commercial mobile phone SoC chipset made with TSMC's 7 nm process, integrating 6.9 billion transistors to improve both performance and energy efficiency.

It is the first of its kind developed based on ARM Cortex-A76, with a dominant frequency of up to 2.6 GHz. The design of the Kirin CPU subsystem and intelligent flex-scheduling mechanism are ideal for achieving optimal energy efficiency while providing excellent performance. The Kirin 980 is also the world's first commercial SoC chipset that uses the innovative Mali-G76 GPU. With its optimization technology and guaranteed battery life, the Mali-G76 GPU allows users to play massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) smoothly. The Kirin 980 supports the world's fastest LPDDR4X with the rate up to 2133MHz, 14% faster than the industry average and is the first to integrate dual NPUs. This provides the most powerful AI computing capability available in the industry and offers increased support for AI applications, bringing mobile phones into the smart era. The Kirin 980 is the first to support LTE Cat.21 in the world, which achieves stable and fast mobile communication connections in various complex communication scenarios, with an industry best peak download rate of 1.4 Gbit/s. The Kirin 980 uses Huawei-developed ISP 4.0, improving the pixel throughput by 46%, supporting more cameras, and greatly enhancing the noise reduction and color reproduction capabilities. These features allow mobile users to enjoy clear pictures and good video experiences.

HONOR’s Kirin 980’s architecture

2) 48 MP Rear Camera

HONOR’s industry-first 48 MP rear camera is set to open a new era of smartphone photography. The camera is the first to make possible high-definition 48 effective megapixels photography on a smartphone, delivering top quality images with more and better details even when zoomed in. The technology, coupled with the AI computing power enabled by the Kirin 980 chipset, will provide smartphone users with unmatched photo quality and clarity, rivaling high-end single-lens reflex cameras.

3) HONOR FullView Display

HONOR has also enabled a whole new level of full-view display experience with the introduction of the HONOR FullView Display. This world-first, in-screen front camera design, achieved by an extremely complex 18-layer technology stack that carefully embeds the front camera in the display area of the screen, extends the display area to almost 100%. The innovative HONOR FullView Display solution demonstrates HONOR’s unmoving dedication to usher the evolution of the full-view display, all the way from the bezel-less screen of the 1.0 era through the notched screen of the 2.0 era, to the revolutionary 3.0 era.

The above three features show HONOR’s artistic innovation through a unique fusion of design and technology.

COVID-19 Update

After careful deliberation, the AHA has determined that it will be impossible to hold the annual meeting in Seattle from January 7–10, 2021, as originally planned. The best available information from public health authorities and medical experts suggests that the global health crisis will not be sufficiently resolved by January. With regret, the Association has concluded that canceling the face-to-face meeting is necessary to maintain the health and safety of our members, our staff, and the public.

We do not make this decision lightly, as we know how important the annual meeting is to the discipline. Members rely on the opportunity to meet in person to build professional relationships, share their scholarship, and engage in professional development. While we will not be able to connect in person, the AHA staff is preparing a variety of web-based programming over the next 10 months to continue to bring together our communities of historians to further advance our mission.

A PDF program, documenting all sessions accepted by the AHA Program Committee and the affiliated societies, will be posted in the fall so that participants can document their expected participation for their CVs. Anyone who was expecting to deliver a prepared presentation will have the opportunity to post written remarks on the AHA website.

Code of Conduct

The AHA is committed to creating and maintaining a harassment-free environment for all participants in the Association's activities. All members and participants, including employees, contractors, vendors, volunteers and guests, are expected to engage in consensual and respectful behavior and to preserve AHA's standard of professionalism at all times. Please read the code of conduct that applies to all AHA-sponsored activities.

What People Are Saying

The AHA annual meeting has always been an intellectual joy for me, a chance to hear new work from historians old and young and to debate and reaffirm the values important to us as scholars, teachers, and colleagues.

- Natalie Zemon Davis, University of Toronto

[T]he panels and sessions I attended were inspiring. I was struck by how varied the field of history is, both in scope and method. ("An Alum at the American Historical Association" on bethelhistory.wordpress.com)

- Fletcher Warren, BA in History

Participating in the annual meeting is a vital way to gain new perspectives – whether the issue is a research agenda, teaching, or the state of the discipline. I always come away with some new avenues to explore, whether the source is a formal session or an unexpected hallway conversation.

- Peter Stearns, George Mason University

Meeting some of my Twitter followers in person was possibly the best part of the entire AHA. People who I’d only seen as tiny avatars were now real people! ("AHA16 Report from the Field" on lisamunro.net)

- Lisa Monroe, PhD

The American Historical Association's annual conference was a truly eye-opening experience for me. I’m considering studying history in college, and getting to hear a plethora of historians talk about the work they have done and the things they have had the opportunity to study really reaffirmed my love of history and showed me some of the things I could be doing in the future. ("Seeing Historical Research Come to Life at the AHA Conference" on darlingtonschool.org)

- Emily Robertson, high school senior

This was exactly the sort of session I would hope for at the AHA: fellow professionals comparing notes on a common challenge we all face. It felt like a support group.

- Glen Gendzel, San José State University

I had an amazing time at the conference. I really loved it! Being an Americanist in Ireland can be difficult at times because there are very few people with whom I can discuss my work or new research. However, going to the conference gave me the opportunity to do all that. [...] I also got to meet some really interesting people and we’re already in talks about possible collaborations. ("AHA 2016" on annemariebrosnan.wordpress.com)

- Annemarie Brosnan, international graduate student

[I]n recent years the AHA has attempted to diversify and broaden its content in an effort to create value for its ever evolving constituency. Remarkably, the AHA purposefully and successfully moved toward this intention by creating a program this year that appealed to an array of historians with diverse professional backgrounds and areas of expertise and interest. Impressive! ("Top 10 Takeaways from the American Historical Association Annual Meeting" on ramonahouston.com)

- Ramona Houston, PhD

The AHA annual meeting is a diverse space that incorporates all aspects of concern for professional historians. It continues to include sessions on the newest research, but has expanded to provide more engaging teaching workshops. More importantly, it is now providing more sessions related to higher education politics and policy that faculty and public historians can no longer ignore. The meeting, once viewed solely for job interviews, is now the place for all historians to engage in cross institutional and regional conversations.

- Trinidad Gonzales, South Texas College

History as a discipline just keeps getting better and better. And history in its many contexts - not only history education at every level but historical thinking in all kinds of public settings - is ever more important. There is nothing better than the panels and presentations and publications and hall conversations of the annual meeting for a concentrated catch-up on what is happening in the field.

- Barbara Metcalf, University of California, Davis

We all have our professional associations where like-minded colleagues meet and greet, but the AHA is where I go to educate myself on what else - after all, most of what goes on - is happening. The comprehensive supra-regional/multi-methodological program, unique (sic!) to the AHA, is an energizing breath of fresh air, every year, even in the dead of winter. And I get to see old friends, too.

- Joseph C. Miller, University of Virginia

My first trip to the winter AHA meeting was a whirlwind of activity. One of the best aspects was getting to meet many of the historians I’ve gotten to know online through Twitter and blogging. It really seemed like many of the conversations we’ve had online seamlessly transitioned to the offline world. ("Paul Putz Reports from AHA 2016 on American Religious Biography" on thewayofimprovement.com)

- Paul Putz, doctoral student

It provides the best sense of the current preoccupations of the profession and insight into how important questions are being explored and treated by a wide variety of historians in all fields. No other meeting has the scope and variety of the AHA and, especially for younger scholars, it offers wonderful access to the ideas and topics that are engaging historians and likely to be pertinent as they enter the field.

- Gabrielle Spiegel, Johns Hopkins University

AHA 2016 was an exciting and bustling conference featuring a wealth of research based on a variety of national and transnational frameworks. The 2017 annual meeting to be held in Denver, Colorado, with the theme 'Historical Scale: Linking Levels of Experience,' looks as if it may have a different tenor, but will surely be just as stimulating. ("Review: American Historical Association Annual Meeting" on baas.ac.uk)

- Ana Stevenson, postdoctoral fellow

Wright Road Upgrade – Construction Update

July 23, 2018

Wright Road is currently closed for a significant upgrade. Once complete, the Wright Rd/Armadale Rd intersection will feature a new roundabout. This will expedite traffic flow in and out of Holland Park, and ease congestion along Armadale Rd.

Wright Rd is expected to re-open in February 2019.

Armadale Road will become a dual carriageway in this $145 million upgrade. This will allow for faster movement of traffic between Armadale and Cockburn.

Vegetation clearing along Armadale Rd are currently in progress. This should be finished in early August.

The Armadale Road upgrade project is currently on track. It is due for completion by July 2019.

We recommend use of Rossiter Avenue for access into the estate during these period. And we apologise for any inconvenience.

For more information on local road closures and night works, please read City of Armadale information here.

Cannes: Dangerous Price for Realism in South Korean Cinema

"A Hard Day"

The pulsating realism of Directors' Fortnight feature "A Hard Day" came at the price of actors enduring real pain -- but the Seoul production of "Avengers 2" has inspired the local industry to enforce safety on the set.

In 2003, South Korean actor Park Joong-hoon made headlines for demanding a "Hollywood-style contract" for Once Upon a Time in the Battlefield, as he specified strict working hours on the set. The actor, who was one of the first local stars to be cast in U.S. films in the 1990s, made the gesture in hopes of implementing structure in the rather "flexible" Korean filmmaking process -- but over a decade down the road Korean cast members remain largely exposed to compromising situations on the set.

"Korean cinema has a long way to go," said Jo Jin-woong about filming action scenes in A Hard Day. The film has been noted for its raw, intense sequences and is being shown at the 2014 Cannes Directors' Fortnight.

"The dangerous moments you see in the film were actually dangerous situations [captured on camera]. And the scenes where characters are in pain, we [the actors] were truly hurting. It really was very difficult," he said.

PHOTOS: The Party Scene at Cannes

But the actor was far from sounding resentful, adding that the pain "is like medals of honor." His co-star Lee Sun-kyun, who was exposed to even more danger on the set as the lead of a violent cat-and-mouse chase, shared a similar attitude. "For the part where [Jo] slams a piggy bank down on my head, I was thankful we completed it in one shot," he said.

The film's director Kim Seong-hun feels "eternally grateful and apologetic to the actors."

"When I told the martial arts director what kind of action scenes I wanted, he told me that [the actors] would have to get beaten up for real," said the director, adding that he apologized ahead of shooting a long skirmish sequence. "Actors must be protected at all times, but there was mutual agreement about this concept of the film. The physical pain that characters feel can be felt skin-deep by the viewer."

STORY: How to Spend a Million Dollars at Cannes

Filmmaker Kim Ki-duk stopped making movies for a while following an accident on the set for the 2008 fantasy drama Dream. Actress Lee Na-young nearly choked while filming a suicide scene without proper safety equipment. Fortunately Lee wasn't critically injured, but Kim shudders to this day when he looks back.

"At first the mise-en-scene was so good that I didn't realize things had gone awry," he said. "Lee fell unconscious so she actually wasn't aware of the situation, but I was so shocked I went to cry by myself in another room." He eventually deleted the problematic scene.

"I asked, what is so important about cinema, to endanger someone's life like that? I wanted to rethink the meaning of filmmaking, so I stopped working and took the time for self-reflection," said the filmmaker. He voluntarily went into solitary confinement, after which he returned with the controversial Cannes-winning self-portrait Arirang.

STORY: 'Midnight Rider' Accident: IATSE Sets Safety Rights Seminar for May 4 in Burbank

Meanwhile, the Korean culture ministry has stepped up to prevent such hazards, and began funding emergency care on film sets this month. The state-backed Korean Film Council will share costs with a given film's production company for an ambulance and medical staff. Ministry officials took the cue from the Seoul production for Avengers: Age of Ultron.

"We were deeply impressed by the Avengers: Age of Ultron team, which didn't go into production unless a fire truck and ambulance were ready," said Vice Culture Minister Cho Hyeon-jae. "It's better late than never to enhance the working conditions and help implement staff for Korean cinema."

"Efforts must be made to increase awareness about safety among filmmakers, producers, crew members and investors, and to implement necessarily regulations and systems," said Choi Eun-hwa, head of the Producers Guild of Korea.

How to Make a Marginal Lasagna

That title makes you want to tune in, doesn’t it?  In an effort to help me be better organized on my weekday meal planning, which I mentioned in Sunday’s post, I made the Pinterest Crock Pot Lasagna.  Here’s how The Hive residents weighed in on the results.

The recipe said to take one bottle of any pasta sauce, uncooked lasagna noodles, one 16-oz carton of cottage cheese, and 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.  Start with the sauce and make three layers.  Cook for 5-6 hours.
Results:  Worth trying again but with these modifications — use two jars of sauce.  It was a little too dry which I think is what made it cook faster than the 5 hours.  By the 5th hour, the edges were starting to burn.  And although I like my lasagna to have a little crispy cheese edges, this was burnt.  I think this extra liquid would also insure that all the noodles were soft, a few were still a little underdone.
I would also use more cheese, like double the amount.  It wasn’t very cheesy.  Lasagna is all about the cheese.  I might even use thick slices of mozzarella along with shredded.  This would give it more substance.
I think the cottage cheese amount was fine and the nine or so noodles I used were adequate.
It needed flavor.  I might add a few teaspoons of Italian herb seasoning to the sauce and maybe a teaspoon or two of sugar.  I like sweet sauce.  Chopped onion and a little garlic would be good.  In fact, I would probably take the two jars of sauce and add sauteed onion and garlic and heat it up on the stove.  Add a little red wine and the seasoning.  Let it simmer, then add it to the Crock Pot.  Obviously, this makes it a little more time consuming but I think the extra effort would yield a yummier lasagna.
Two out of three residents said it needed more umph.  Mr. Bee said it was great…on his second helping.  He’s easy to please so I am not sure he should be counted in the poll.
If you want the recipe, follow me on Pinterest and check the board “Crock Pot Meals.”

Quick Pottery Barn Orchid Knockoff

I was flipping through my new Pottery Barn catalog last night and I spotted something I wanted to try and replicate on my own.

I love the centerpiece using the glass hurricane with the orchid.  It’s not a new idea, but I think I liked how the orchids were placed in the glass with moss making it look kind of terrarium-ish (I just made that word up).

The glass hurricane sells for $79, but I wanted to come in way under that.  I already had the orchid stems.  I need a few bags of moss sheets, balls, and floral putty to hold it down.  I knew I also wanted a tinted glass hurricane.  I found one at Target for $23.

I gathered all my supplies, which cost less than $16 at Michaels, plus a pair of clippers for the floral stems.

 I bought two bags of moss, and one bag of six moss balls.

 And one bag of clay.

I took the wide mouthed hurricane and placed a big piece of clay at the bottom

Then placed the three stems of orchids in the clay

I emptied both bags of moss around the bottom of the stems to hide the clay, then placed the balls on top.  I wanted an end result of rustic elegance.  Not too fixed.

An easy simple update, with a splash of color.

Have a fab Friday.

Mrs. Creel’s Monkey Around Bread

I love my church lady friends, because they can cook anything from casseroles to monkey bread and it’s amaze balls (this is my new favorite word for 2014).  I went to an ornament exchange and my friend Mrs. Creel brought this.  I ate three-fourths of it and I wasn’t embarrassed in the least.  I realize that today, being the first day of the year when most people have “EAT NO MORE SUGAR” at the top of their resolute list, it’s not the best time to give you a recipe for monkey bread, but I don’t care.  It’s delish, so deal.

Mrs. Creel’s Monkey Around Bread

1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 cans of Pillsbury Grand Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing
1/2 cup chopped pecans (if you’re not a nut person, you can omit)
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a Bundt pan. In a large ziplock bag mix the cinnamon and sugar.  Separate the rolls and cut each roll into 4 pieces.  Place the pieces in the bag and shake so they are covered evenly with the sugar mixture.  Take the pieces out of the bag and set aside on a plate.

Melt the butter and brown sugar and bring to a low boil.  Add the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture, reduce heat and stir till well combined.

Place a third of the dough pieces in the Bundt pan.  Pour a third of the syrup mixture over the dough.  Repeat twice more.  Press lightly the rolls into the pan.

Bake 30-32 minutes till golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle.  Cool on  wire rack for about 10 minutes.  Invert on a rimmed plate (because the syrup may run).  Spread the icing from the cinnamon roll cans on top.  Or if you prefer, use none of the icing.

Then proceed to eat three fourths of it throughout the day because it is yummy.

After you make this recipe, then you can start with the “Get Fit” resolution.

Happy New Year’s Day!

Off to a New Year’s Eve Party

Very soon after we moved into our home, almost seven years ago, we became friends with the neighbors in our section of the neighborhood.  We really enjoy getting together and for the last six years we’ve each taken turns hosting a NYE party.  We’ve had theme parties, like dress from a character from the ’60s, and come in your pj’s.

I found this clever idea for goody bags for the ladies from oh so beautiful paper.
I just used white lunch sacks I had on hand, and printed the tags from the link.

I included a can of black eyed peas for good luck in the new year, a packet of Emergen-C for good health (they used a packet of Alka Seltzer), and Hershey Kisses for love in the new year (I used dark chocolate kisses for more good health).

These are the cute labels you can print on card stock.  Their webpage made me want to go on a hunt for washi tape of all kinds for my craft room.  But, I just used black and white ribbon I already had.

Stuff everything in the bag.  Then I made a punch in the top, tied the ribbon through it, and stuck the label on with double sided tape.  We’re also taking poppers for midnight.

Miss Bee made a low-calorie key lime pie from the Skinny Girl Desserts Cookbook.  She is really excited about serving it.

I hope all of you have a safe, healthy and peace-filled new year.  I really appreciate all of you that take the time to read my blog.  I look forward to more fun times ahead.

Who Wants Hot Cocoa?

You know how moms have to buy their own gifts, wrap them, put them under the tree and act all surprised when they open them on Christmas morning?  I do that.  It’s okay, this way I get exactly what I want.

This year I treated myself to the Williams-Sonoma Hot Cocoa carafe.  It’s on sale right now for $14.99 (from $34.99, so it’s a sweet deal).  You could pick up a few for next year or they would make a great Valentine’s Day gift.

It is the cutest thing I have ever seen.  It holds three cups of hot cocoa.  Made of ceramic, you can heat the milk in the carafe in the microwave, but I think the preferred method would probably be to make your cocoa the usual way on the stove, then pour it in the carafe to keep it warm. It also comes with a built-in, battery operated whisk so you can give your cocoa a few whirls before serving it to make sure to mix up the settled cocoa.

Oh, I saw Anchorman Two this evening.  Terrible movie, but awesome soundtrack.  Cheers!

Scenes from my Christmas vacation

Our family tradition has always been to spend Christmas at home.  When Daddy passed away in 2011, we knew it would be hard for Earnie to wake up and not have him there with us so we all went to Ruidoso, New Mexico for a little getaway.  Daddy loved the mountains.  And, the best part of the trip, it snowed!  As if he ordered the snow just for us.  It was really special being there with my sister and brother-in-law and my family.

So this year, with it being our first Christmas without Earnie, we went to her favorite place — the beach.  I put Mr. Bee in charge of finding us a spot.  My criteria was that it needed to be a beach front property within just a few feet from the water.  It had to be private with no chatty Kathy’s on the porch asking me where I was from, etc…  And we needed a place that was dog-friendly so we could take Ruthie, the wienerful.  Mr. Bee scored on all points.

We traveled to Gulf Shores, Alabama (just a ten hour drive) and stayed in a private community called Martinique on the Gulf.

Our place was in a gated community with homes and condos nestled among the Bon Secour Wildlife Sanctuary.  Our unit was on the bottom floor and had a perfect view of the water.  The short boardwalk in the pic was right by our patio.  It was private and very quiet almost like we had the entire property to ourselves.  We were told that if you want quiet this was the best time to stay there because starting in March it stays crowded and loud until October.

We went for long walks on the beach looking for sea shells. This was Ruthie’s first time at the beach and she loved it.  She wasn’t interested in the water, but loved running up and down the beach.  I think the sand felt good on her feet.

I sat out on the porch and read and sipped spirits.  The owner of the property was an avid reader so it was filled with all kinds of books.  I read two of his mysteries while I was there. Under the book are two layers of blankets…and Ruthie.

I sipped mimosas.  The Champagne was a gift from a neighbor for house sitting over the summer. He brought it back from France.  I saved it for just this occasion.

I napped with the windows open to hear the sounds of the ocean.  I stared for hours at the horizon thanking God for the miracles of the sea.  I marveled at how a whole seashell could make it to the shore unbroken from it’s journey among the waves crashing into the sands.  I watched the seagulls and sandpipers soar and look for food.

We ate some really good seafood, this was on Mr. Bee’s wish list.

Gator bites from Crawfish Town.  I had never had alligator and I thought what better place to try it.  It tasted just like chicken.  Honest, it did.

Fried shrimp and hush puppies at Tacky Jack’s right on the bay.  It was a dive, but had really cold beer and even better fresh fish.  We found a fish market near us where you could purchase fresh fish to take home.  We peeled several pounds of fresh steamed shrimp and Mr. Bee ate his weight in fresh oysters.

On Christmas Eve we had pizza, Miss Bee’s pick, and I made a pumpkin pie.  On Christmas morning I made monkey bread, biscuits, eggs and bacon.  Every morning started with coffee on the patio.

It was perfect.  Until some kind of flu bug invaded my body and for two days I had 101 fever.  But, at least I was convalescing someplace pretty.

I’ll post the recipe for the monkey bread next week. I hope all your Christmas dreams came true.

Vintage Memories of Christmas

This morning, as I was laying in bed, I was thinking if I could go back to any point in time at Christmas when would it be?  I decided it would be during the “wonder” years, when you are little and you know for sure there is a giant, fatherly man coming down the chimney after midnight.  That time period would have been in the late ’60s, early ’70s.

Here are the top things I remember:

Tons of Friends Coming Over for Parties:

People like Mary and Rhoda were always at our house. Earnie had such great friends (just like me) who never had to come up with a reason to throw a party.    Earnie and Ray would have parties for their employees, a Christmas Eve party for close friends, neighbors and family, then get together for Christmas day with family for an entire day of eating, playing, and celebrating.  Not to mention the luncheons and coffees with close friends she’d host mid-week.  I remember going with Earnie to the Winn-Dixie to load up carts of jams and jellies so she could make gift baskets for people who dropped by.

Perry Como:

Move over Michael Buble’ the hottie of my time was Mr. Perry Como.  This might have been what started my love of older men.  His smooth musical stylings and TV Christmas specials, along with Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams, were the best way to spend an evening.
Christmas Decor:

Earnie decorated every room in the house.  She had a storage area in a bathroom that housed all of her decor.  She’d get up on the ladder and hand me things telling me the room they were to be delivered to.  By the end of the day our house was transformed into magic with Perry playing on the HiFi.

Cheese Grits:

This was a Christmas brunch staple in our house.  She’d serve her grits in a lovely copper chafing dish on her beautifully decorated buffet table complete with a long centerpiece of greenery and candles down the middle of the table.

When I moved to Maryland for a brief stint in my early young life, I made these and the east coast people thought they tasted like barf (that’s probably why my first marriage ended).  Here’s Earnie’s recipe from Jane Justin’s cookbook “Prescriptions for Hunger” copyright 1968:

Preheat Oven to 350
Put 8 cups of water in a large saucepan and add 1 TBL of salt.
When water starts to boil add 2 cups of grits
Cook slowly until grits are thick
Pour grits into a large bowl and add:
1 TBL Worcestershire sauce
1 Cup of whole milk
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp black pepper
3 TBL melted butter
1 Cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

Mix well and put into a greased casserole.
Sprinkle with more grated cheese and a few dashes of paprika
Bake one hour at 350 degrees.

Have a fantastic Friday!

Dress Up Your Muffins

I am on a roll with the blogging.  Having a snow storm ice you in for five days makes for a well-rested Queen getting caught up on cleaning, organizing, decorating and baking.

This morning Mr. Bee helped me make Orange Cranberry muffins.  I picked up a bag of Oceanspray cranberries in the produce section recently and decided to make them since cranberries are so holiday-ish.  I made the recipe on the bag and I used new muffin papers I found at Kroger of all places.  Dressing up your muffins with these little papers makes them look like you’re a gourmet chef!

Mr. Bee helped me chop the cranberries.  Most of the ingredients you will have in your pantry…nothing fancy here.

Just before putting them in the oven I topped them off with some Turbinado sugar.  I got turned onto this when I made my first trip to England with Mr. Bee.  The English use this in their hot tea.

Here are the muffins right out the oven.  The papers pulled away from the bread perfectly.  Mr. Bee professed they were the best cranberry muffins he’s ever eaten.  Miss Bee, who is in teen-style mode right now, said nothing.
Here’s hoping you are having a motivational Monday.

A New Tradition

The day after Thanksgiving, my sister-in-law hosted a cookie decorating party.  It was so fun.  The night before I assembled all the ingredients from the Pioneer Woman’s My Favorite Sugar Cookie recipe and then the morning of Miss Bee and my soon-to-be new niece (my nephew popped the question to his sweet girlfriend while he was here) made the cookies.

Auntie M had royal icing and sprinkles galore ready for us to decorate.  We listened to Christmas music and ate bowls of taco soup during decorating breaks.  We finished the afternoon off by watching the movie Elf.  It was a great way to spend time with family creating a new tradition we can look forward to next year.

Here’s the recipe for the cookies:

1 1/3 cups of softened butter or butter flavored shortening
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 tsp of grated orange zest (I used lemon because Lolly gave me lemons from Mississippi the size of my head)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 TBL, plus two tsp of whole milk

Mix butter, sugar and zet till smooth, add eggs then vanilla.  Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together, add in batches to butter mixture.  Add milk and mix.  Then roll out onto a floured surface and cut with your cookie cutters.

Sour Cream Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas

Remember last week when I made the creamy chicken chili?  Well, I had tons of leftovers that I put into the freezer.  I decided to use the rest to make enchiladas.  I made up my own recipe last night and I have to say they were pretty tasty.

I took a 8-oz container of sour cream and a can of Hatch Green Chili Enchilada sauce and whisked them together in a bowl.

Then I took corn tortillas and filled them with onion, the chicken, Mexican blend shredded cheese and rolled each one placing them in a 9×13 greased dish.  The dish fit 10 enchiladas.  I poured the sour cream mixture over the top, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and baked for 45 minutes at 350 degrees.  I served them with a southwestern chopped salad.

I still have chicken left from the original recipe!  So, one meal will now turn to three when I use the rest to make grilled tacos.

Have a thrilling Thursday.

Each original tin holds the eggs of an individual sturgeon. Caviar should never be “blended” or mixed with different fish. With the advent of aquaculture, a harvesting group of caviar-bearing sturgeon is almost always of the same age, size, & stock. They are also raised in the same conditions (water quality, temperature, etc.) and on the same diet. Biology, of course, can still play a part and make a unique “batch” per individual fish. Part of the initial grading process is to evaluate the quality and consistency of the original delivery. Rich will factor into account the size of the caviar grains (medium to large size) along with the color of the eggs, from light to dark.

By sampling the product, we are evaluating multiple factors – foremost the richness of flavor. Caviar – especially that of the Osetra sturgeon – should have a fresh, almost nutty flavor – and should be briny without being powerfully salty (“malossol” – Russian for “little salt” – is a common term used and is often on the caviar label itself.) The pleasing flavor needs to be equally offset by a firmness of egg texture – or the “pop” on the roof of the mouth – that is a traditional benchmark of superior caviar. Finally, the finish is evaluated on the palate – it should be creamy and flavorful, not bitter or “fishy.” All these factors play into the assessment of the quality grade assigned to the caviar.

Preview: Dash at Washington Spirit

The Houston Dash will look to earn their fourth victory of the season this evening as they take on the Washington Spirit at 7:00 p.m. CDT at the Maryland SoccerPlex. A win tonight could vault Houston back into the thick of the NWSL playoff race at the halfway point of the season.

WHO: Houston Dash (3-4-4; 13 pts.) at Washington Spirit (5-3-3; 18 pts.

WHEN: Saturday, July 20 – 7:00 p.m. CDT

WHERE: Maryland SoccerPlex – Boyds, MD

STREAM: Yahoo! Sports

Here are three key points ahead of Saturday’s game:

1.    DALY RETURNS TO DASH – After helping England reach the third-place match at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup and having served a one-match suspension for a red card, forward Rachel Daly has returned to the Dash and is available to make her first appearance for the club since May 11. Daly has made five appearances for the Dash this season and has scored three goals.

2.    DASH SEEK POINTS IN MARYLAND – The Dash will visit the Maryland SoccerPlex for the second time this season when they take on the Washington Spirit later today. The two teams met on June 22 and battled to a scoreless draw. Goalkeeper Jane Campbell recorded her third clean sheet of the season, while defender Betsy Brandon made her professional debut as a 91st-minute substitute.

3.    DASH FACE OFF AGAINST REVITALIZED SPIRIT – The Dash face a Spirit team who are currently fourth in the NWSL standings and who are welcoming back Women’s World Cup champions and United States Women’s National Team stars Rose Lavelle and Mallory Pugh. While a hamstring injury will likely keep Lavelle out of Saturday’s match, Pugh, who primarily played as a reserve for the United States, will likely play this weekend.

Global COVID-19 Deaths Top 500,000

Jun 28, 2020
Originally published on June 28, 2020 1:16 pm

Updated at 5:11 p.m. ET

The coronavirus pandemic reached a new milestone on Sunday, with confirmed deaths surpassing half a million around the world and the number of confirmed cases topping 10 million.

According to data collected by Johns Hopkins University, there were 10,063,319 confirmed cases and 500,108 deaths globally by late Sunday afternoon. The number of cases is likely much higher, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announcing this week that for every reported case, there were 10 other estimated infections in the United States.

More than 2.5 million of those confirmed cases are in the United States. The countries with the next highest totals are Brazil, Russia, India and the United Kingdom.

Some parts of the world have managed to bring the virus under control. South Korea, which reported about 750 new cases daily in late February and early March, was averaging just a few dozen per day at the end of May, though officials have noted a slight resurgence.

New Zealand had mostly eradicated the virus by mid-May and went 24 days with no new cases before identifying two this month. And China's capital city of Beijing went two months without reporting a local coronavirus case until mid-June.

Initially hard-hit countries such as Italy, Germany and Spain are lifting restrictions as case numbers decrease, while cases surge in places like India and Mexico. Latin America became a new epicenter of the pandemic in early June, according to the World Health Organization.

The U.S. set a daily record for new coronavirus cases this past week, reporting more than 45,000 on Friday — its highest single-day increase.

"We are 4% of the world's population; we are 25% of the cases and the deaths," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on ABC's This Week on Sunday.

U.S. states began imposing stay-at-home orders and other restrictions in March in order to slow the spread of the virus, with numbers declining as a result. By mid-May, all 50 states had started to reopen, some at a faster pace than others.

Cases have surged in recent weeks, particularly in the South and West. As a result, several states — such as North Carolina, Nevada and Texas — have opted to pause or roll back their reopening plans.

Officials noted at a White House coronavirus task force briefing on Friday that the percentage of people requiring hospitalization is lower than it was earlier in the pandemic and that the number of fatalities is declining. They urged the public, especially young people, to take precautions and manage risks.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar echoed this message on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday.

He cited reports from governors that the majority of new cases are among people age 35 and under, with many of those asymptomatic, and said these areas have the hospital capacity, personal protective equipment and medical tools to fight the virus — for the time being.

"But the window is closing," he said. "We have to act, and people as individuals have to act responsibly. We need to social distance. We need to wear our face coverings if we're in settings where we can't social distance, particularly in these hot zones."

The federal government is facing calls to provide increased support for states' testing and contact tracing efforts. And some Democratic officials are advocating for a federal mask mandate, with Pelosi and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden expressing support for the idea in recent days.

Pelosi said on Sunday that the U.S. is "long overdue" for a nationwide mask-wearing requirement.

The U.S. has reported more than 125,000 coronavirus deaths so far, which is more than any other country and more than twice as many confirmed deaths as Brazil, its next-highest neighbor on the list.

COVID-19 was first reported in Wuhan, China, in December. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak a global health emergency in January and officially characterized it as a pandemic in March.

SWIFT is an innovative water treatment project in eastern Virginia designed to further protect the region’s environment, enhance the sustainability of the region’s long-term groundwater supply and help address environmental pressures such as Chesapeake Bay restoration, sea level rise and saltwater intrusion.
SWIFT takes highly treated water that would otherwise be discharged into the Elizabeth, James or York rivers and puts it through additional rounds of advanced water treatment to meet drinking water quality standards. The SWIFT Water is then added to the Potomac Aquifer, the primary source of groundwater throughout eastern Virginia.

Good to Know

Our water is too valuable to waste. SWIFT provides a sustainable resource to replenish groundwater for generations to come.

Request a Tour

The SWIFT Research Center is now open and replenishing the Potomac Aquifer with up to one million gallons of drinking water quality SWIFT Water daily. Request a Tour

In order to protect the health and safety of HRSD customers and staff through the evolving conditions related to COVID-19, all tours and other outreach requests are suspended for the foreseeable future.

A Forward Looking Solution

Water Droplet

SWIFT’s Advanced Water Treatment Process produces drinking water quality SWIFT Water through a multi-step disinfection process that is used throughout the country and the world.

Water Droplets

Groundwater is being used in eastern Virginia at rates faster than it can be naturally replaced. Adding SWIFT Water back into the ground will replenish this natural resource and protect the Potomac Aquifer from further damage caused by overuse.

SWIFT will give our communities a sustainable source of groundwater. This resource will support our economy by providing businesses with the water they need to operate.

Addressing Sea Level Rise

Taking water out of the ground at the current rate has led to sinking of land, or land subsidence, in some parts of eastern Virginia. This makes us more vulnerable to rising sea levels and the associated impacts.

Replenishing the aquifer with HRSD’s SWIFT Water can help slow or even reverse the sinking of land due to withdrawal. Scientists believe that overuse of the aquifer causes about 25 percent of the sinking of land in parts of eastern Virginia.

Replenishing our overdrawn aquifer can improve the environment and help our communities adapt to rising seas, contributing to the resiliency of our region.

Helping the Chesapeake Bay

Restoring the health and productivity of the Chesapeake Bay largely depends on reducing the amount of nutrients and sediment that enter Chesapeake Bay waters.

By 2030, HRSD's SWIFT Water is projected to effectively eliminate more then 90 percent of HRSD's discharge to local waters. This will reduce the total amount of nutrients, such as phosphorous and nitrogen, reaching the receiving streams, and ultimately the Bay.

Witness our Advanced Water Treatment and how we replenish the Potomac Aquifer at our SWIFT Research Center

The extensive and systematic steps of SWIFT’s Carbon-Based Advanced Water Treatment Process ensure that SWIFT Water is reliable and protective of our groundwater resources.

Our water is carefully and continuously monitored to meet strict drinking water safety standards.

At the SWIFT Research Center, scientists and engineers will treat up to one million gallons of water each day to meet drinking water quality standards and demonstrate safely adding it to the Potomac Aquifer.

Celebrating the Opening of the SWIFT Research Center!
