It's great to see you, Mary and other Tea Angels!
Mary, yes, we've had a lot of storms and 100 degree days. Luckily, no trees fell on us and we never lost power, although so many did. Your job must be a challenge! Do you work every day, as in full time? I know you're a caregiver who really cares!
Ryan, my eldest son who is in the Navy (11 years already!) turned 30 on 7/7 -- how can that possibly BE? Then again, there are days when I feel far older than my 57 years :( I've been involved with dentistry this year and not done yet. Any of you who know me....well, I'd rather clean my oven, lol.
I've developed a serious and chronic case of the LAZIES...and that's the truth.
Friday we leave for Chicago for Hanna's baptism! I had her christening gown made from my wedding gown and the gal did an amazing job, it's so beautiful! Hanna is just over 5 months old and has turned into quite a chub, lol! So adorable :)
I suppose I must get something accomplished here today, so I hope all of you are having a great week with nothing but sunny skies over you!
Good Evening
Sunny, hot weekend here in Ma but we just got some cooling rain. It promises to be hot the next ferw days.
Susie, the Christening dress sounds beautiful. And how very special having it made from your wedding dress! I hope you post a picture. Enjoy the Christening and Chicago. I was there two weeks ago and would have stayed much longer if I could.
Masry and everyone else, I hipe you are doing well and had a relaxing weekend
Good morning to all. It is the time of the summer doldrums here. Upper 90's to a predicted 105 degrees this weekend. Just thinking about those temps seems to take the wind out of my sails, and all desire for projects of any sort. My flower pots have taken a nose dive for the most part, but I am keeping flowers planted in the ground alive so that is something I suppose. I have said it so often about this time of year that Autumn is still my favorite season. I do not, at my age, want to speed up my life clock, but I long for those days just now. As we head into August soon, I know that there will be some very hot days ahead, and I thank the Lord for air conditioning and ceiling fans. My daughter reminded me the other day of the old water coolers we used to have to put up with when she was a girl. I told her that I did remember them and they were certainly not a substitute for what we have now.
We have a new dog. We rescued from our neighborhood the sweetest White West Highland Terrier. She was in very bad shape and was digging in trash for something to eat. She was so matted with sticks and stickers so we shaved her down. She did not even try to get away or bite, just quietly let us help her. After a bath and a good feeding, DH took her the next morning to the Vet who only charged us for the meds, not his services. We had found 3 good homes that were willing to take her in, but DH had fallen for her and did not want to let her go. So she is our 4th pet. Oh my, this was not what I had planned. She is very sweet and seems to know that we have saved her. We have named her Maggie so she joins Sammy, Missy and Chloe in the Zoo that we run here. What were we thinking???
I hope all of you are having a good summer despite the weather, as we are trying to do here. Quick cooking meals are certainly on the menu here, and the blessed crock pot is getting a work out. Of course, adding to that, watermelon, cantaloupe tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet cherries, peaches and all those yummy items that summer brings are welcome treats, too. Stay cool, Carolyn
Hedgi and Carolyn, good to "see" you! I will be posting pics of Hanna in the gown, I promise!
Mary, hope all is well!
Good to see you, too, Susie. That baby gown will be treasured and passed down to generations. What a wonderful idea, and what a special time a Christening is-would love to share in it via the picture. God Bless, Carolyn
Good evening angels, Guess who. Even though I have not been here, I have kept all of you in my thoughts. I miss not being here all the time. So much has happened lately it jsut don't seem enough hours in the day to do everything. George and I are empty nesters now. It is sure quite around here. As you know Scott got married on mothers day and then July 4th Jenna moved out on her own. We have had a lot of hot weather down here also and this week it has rained like crazy. Between work, housework, church and keeping up with everyone, not enough time. I am still sewing my animals. Have a big show coming in Nov. and getting ready for that.
Well that is all I have been doing. Hope everyone is doing good. Well need to run.
Hugs right back to you Carole. Good to see you, and hugs to everyone else. I think you could pop popcorn on my sidewalk right now. Very dangerous temps here and we have not even seen August yet. No rain for a loooooong time. Praying for it daily. DH and I are doing well if we can make it to Autumn. Praise God for my air conditioning for I would be a wilted petunia without it, and I know a lot of folks do not have it. Prayers for them.
Good Morning {{{{Dear Friends}}}} and WElcome to the tearoom! It is such a lovely day here in MI with the nighttime low in the 50's which actually sent me digging for my beloved flannel jammies. I happily waved goodbye to the Arizona like heat and matchstick dryness while dodging a few raindrops. Work has quite taken every bit of time and energy I can find. My days are running into nights and flying through weekends like water pouring from a steamy kettle. I open my casebooks with thanksgiving for the way that God prepared for me with a sense of awe and wonder as everything taught over a lifetime of working with ill and suffering people has come to fruition. It just amazes me beyond words how some simple practice that I thought meant little at the time has proved to be a bookmark on today's page. That's real life tea in a cup served in the present as a gift from the past. Amazing.
The trees that fell on the roof of the garden house did a good bit of damage, but, many people here and about had damage from the storm and that overwhelmed the companies that do the fix up. The trees were removed and now rest on the ground to be cut, the roof is covered in tarps and is on the list to be repaired in one month. It is devastating to see that mess and others that practically destroyed our little valley. My husband became quite overwhelmed as outsiders did the assessments, but no matter what, we take one step at a time, one hour, one day at a time. Much of the damage won't be covered by insurance, but you can't insure an entire forest. With the long draught there is no way to know the condition of the trees and how firm and strong they are and no way to provide enough water.
{{{Dear Susie}}}}, What a lovely lovely use for your wedding dress and how absolutely dancing on stars you must be to have such a connection to lovely Hanna's baptism. I look forward to seeing pictures of the event. I hope you and Steve are faring well and that you are enjoying the sunshine and warmth. I wish I could somehow manage to love summer as much as you, but my heart, like CArolyn's loves Autumn. The trees have actually dropped their headdresses of leaves just like Fall and our burning bushes which thrive on hot weather are rather forlorn. I can't imagine how people in Arizona and desert places manage to thrive.
{{{Dear Carolyn}}}, The only reason I have flowers in my pots on the front porch is because I planted silk ones! I look around at the neighbors and my flowers are the only ones that are still alive as pots and containers have disappeared. We haven't had to cut the lawn at all as it became a shocking yellow/white and looked like a loss....a brief shower brought some green but not enough to make it grow. I hope very much that August for both of us is a pleasant surprise in easy weather. Welcome home tea is definitely in order to surround your new little doggie and I am not at all surprised that DH fell head over heels. Your home is the very best place she could hope to be.
{{{Dear Hedgie}}}}, I have travelled through Chicago a couple of times and spent a winter holiday there but really never explored or got to know the city. I have a friend who lives outside the city and we went to the art museum which was wonderous, but got no further, despite plans to. The famous winds and the freezing temps were so challenging I really was very glad to get home again. Three cheers and a cup of tea to your adventure!
{{{Dear Carole}}}}, I read your happy note and had to hug the computer screen as the news of your empty nest touched my heart. Memory books open and fill up, and close, life moves forward, but our hearts settle in the times we know and love from the past. Congratulations and a new cup of tea to thrill you and add to yours and George's storybook.
{{{Dear Anne}}}} I think of you so often and always say a prayer for the days you feel your loss so keenly. I have moments, hours, days like that and they have such longing attached, it is hard to grab on and be present, until family, or friends step in and sweep me into the present and make me live well here. Even the work I do now, honors my past and I have to be very mindful to remember that I am just a worker, a helper, a bookmark and not the story this time. I try to eat well and sleep when it is night, gather myself in strength and wit, laugh and sing, listen to tales and tell a few, and odd as it may seem, stop a long prayer and say amen so I can listen to the answers.
Dear Tearoom Friends, I am so blessed to read everyone's adventures and to add my very own. I have a new tea to share that was given as a gift to me. Organic India, Tulsi, Sweet Rose Tea is as exotic as it sounds, and a blissful cup to enjoy. It doesn't smell like a rose is a rose is a rose at all, more spicy and exciting. While it isn't on my best of the best list, it is pure, healthy and notable as all the Organic India blends are. These are often found at Whole Foods or the Health Stores and worthy of shelf space. One of my dear clients, who is very fussy about her tea, insists upon it and I love her enthusiasm and admire her very much.
Can you believe that I am once again, late to come and late to leave for the days adventure? It is time to change hats, lace my shoes and think of work. Thank you so much, more than so much for enjoying tea and our tearoom. God bless you and your families, and don't forget to tuck an extra teabag in your pocket, as you never know, who may need a cup of tea. Your very grateful friend and hostess in heart and mind, Mary
Good evening friends -- it has been an iced tea kind of summer and we are keeping the pitcher full.
It's been a very busy one for us with getting our house fixed up and on the market, and planning a move back to SC after almost 20 years in Kentucky. I'm feeling kind of schizophrenic to tell you the truth. Don't know how long I'll be here but I know I'll be leaving soon -- but I don't yet know where we'll be living or what I'll be doing there.
Oh well, one of these days everything will be resolved and we'll be settled somewhere. As DH says, maybe by Christmas we'll have some kind of normal life again!
DS#2 got home from his African adventure and if you are interested, DH did a video of his presentation to our church last Sunday evening. It's just over 30 minutes.
I have been working a lot of extra hours, which is a blessing, but it was so nice to have a Saturday off (my only one this month) AND get to spend it on a shopping trip with friends. We went to the outlet mall in Edinburgh, Indiana, and I had a great time finding things for the guys and a few things for me.
Good to hear from all of you and "catch up" on the news. Wishing you all a peaceful evening and Sunday blessings tomorrow --
Good Morning Dear Friends, and Welcome to the Tearoom! It has been one of those weeks where work melted away the days along with Summer heat and storms. I had to put a little extra effort into tidying up my own home yesterday, just to find my teapot. Today I fully expect to sit back and enjoy the lovely breeze on our screen porch with my special cup and newest book. Next week promises to be full of surprises as I have been called to help another lovely person in the role of caregiver. It is challenging, but rewarding, and the feeling of making life better for the people who call on me brings me to my knees in Thanksgiving. I am blessed.
I answered the doorbell for my dear couple and the lady addressed me as 'Mary Godmother" which made me smile....maybe that accurately describes my role better. I find myself putting a lot of effort into easing the path of my patients and that includes setting a lovely table for afternoon tea. While meals must be served, a pot of tea and something pretty and light to nibble, seems to bring out a festive air and company arrives as if on cue to share in it. Whereas they would decline the fuss of an extra plate and a full meal, a cup of tea and a tray of pretty bites always finds a smile.
We are slowly making headway here to clear the damage done to our property by heavy storms, but I will certainly be glad to remove the tarps from the garden house roof and replace the cupola with it's rooster weather vane. It is the focal point through my bay window here in my own house and I can't face the view without noting it's absence.
Dear Elza, I hope your preparations for moving go like clockwork and that soon you will be settled in your new home, with your family. I am so sorry to have missed DS grand African adventure and I thank you for the link to the video. I confess to spending accidental days without any computer use at all out of pure necessity. While it must be very frightening to look to an uncertainty of future events, it is also a grand blessing for the same reasons.
There is a certain point where one makes a shift in focus and when that comes the excitement outweighs the concerns. I hope your current home sells quickly and with a satisfying pile of papers to sign and that the same occurs on the new home you choose. It is nice every once in a while to revisit collections and memory makers, paring down and making room for a new and ever widening future endeavor.
Let me add my own prayers to yours as I share a bit in your packing. Don't forget to take your tea, to share with new neighbors. Have you arranged a new work situation for yourself yet? I am sure your vast experience and friendly face will be a welcome addition to any job you take on.
While I would very much enjoy a longer visit, perhaps it is even better to step aside and see who follows me to the tea table here in this lovely room. I hope the sun is shining through your window and that your tea blend is perfect to meet your needs for the day. Your very happy hostess and friend, Mary
A good Sunday evening to everyone. Today the temperature officially reached 109 deg. here in our town, which has everyone seeking the coolest shelter possible. Thank goodness that is my own dear home as our air conditioner keep chugging along. Church was cool also and we had a houseful of worshipers.
Our town does "Crazy Days" each time at the end of July where merchants bring out merchandise out of the stores and onto the sidewalks for special prices. There is a parade and pet judging, story tellers, face painting and all of the things that children and child-like adults love to do. DD and I went on Saturday . And yes, we were HOT bargain hunters.
DH is desperately trying to keep tomato plants going until fall, but not sure we will make it. Most of my flower pots are so bedraggled it is shameful.So looking forward to Fall. Love to u All. Carolyn
Hello to All,
Summer has finally arrived in the NW and gone are our delightful 65 - 75 degree days. We are in the 80's and climbing - I just hope it doesn't hang around too long as I'm wilted enough. Should not complain however, compared to the rest of the hot U.S. As with Carolyn's town, all the towns around us are also having their Crazy Days, or Arts & Craft Fairs, etc. It's just too hot and crowded to fight the crowds.
If I make typos, forgive me as my eyesight is not what it should be right now as I had cataract surgery on Thursday and I'm wearing prescription sunglasses in the house because like a dummy, I forgot my eye glasses at the doctor's office. In addition to the cataract removal the doctor also straightened out a ripple in my retina, so it will take longer to heal and before eyesight is clear and not fuzzy. Will wait until it heals before I do the other eye.
What else has consumed so much time and effort, especially on DD Erica's part, is getting an Assistant Living apartment in town ready for my sister who is moving here from Chicago - she will be arriving in Seattle on Tuesday. I haven't seen her for 15 years....Since it didn't pay or make sense to move her old stuff out here to furnish her apartment, Erica is shopping non-stop to get her new furniture, bed linens, dishes, lamps, tables, bed, dresser, recliner, and everything else in between. A Walmart trip is on for this afternoon to pick up sundries. It's like furnishing a small home for newly weds or a college graduate. Talk about time consuming, but will be nice to have her close by for a change after all these years.
I am hobbling around and had to pull out my walker to get around. Somehow I hurt my ankle and it's so painful and hard to stand on it. That's all I need right now. I hate Old Age! At this rate I won't even be able to get over to see my sister's newly furnished dwelling next week if the pain doesn't lessen.
Hoping all the Tea Angels are staying cool and feeling good these days - write and let us know. Mary, you must be making gallons of iced tea....
Dear Anne and hello to all,
Anne, nice to see your note which will hopefully get us off high center and back to hearing from others in the Tea Room.
Our temp high today was 104 and will be about that tomorrow, THEN we will have a cool down to the high 90's. We are suffering greatly from both the heat and the drought. We had a wildfire break out in another part of the
state and many homes were burned to the ground.
so far no loss of life. So sad to lose so many homes. The Fire fighters are having a hard time in this heat.
Anne, glad that you are getting the repairs done to help your sight. Hope you get well soon and that you are able to be free of pain from your injury.
It is good that your sister is able to move closer to you. Erica sounds just like my own daughter, always willing to do whatever she can to help out. We both are truly blessed to have them!
Blessings to everyone in the tea room and hope to hear from some more of you soon. Carolyn
Good morning friends!
Anne, you have had a lot going on! I sincerely hope that both your eyesight and your ankle are better by now. How wonderful to have your sister close by, although it sounds like Erica is staying very busy making preparations. I know one of the things I am looking forward to in our upcoming move is being close to my sister.
Carolyn, I'm glad that the fires I read about recently in OK were not in your part of the state. We are expecting rain this evening -- wish I could share it with you.
We just got back from spending a few days in SC. Very busy but productive time, making plans to move there. We are praying that our house will sell as soon as possible so that I can join DH there! He starts next week, and will stay with my mother in Abbeville (about 30 miles away) -- it really helps not to have to rent somewhere. He was able to get started moving things into his new office while we were there. We also met with a realtor and looked around at some neighborhoods and houses, to get an idea of where we want to be, which was very helpful.
Mary, I thought about you since we will be back in the land of sweet tea! We have gotten used, in Kentucky, to ordering "sweet tea" but back in Upstate SC, "iced tea" = "sweet tea." You have to make a special request to get "unsweet" --
Good Morning Everyone
It sure has been a crazy busy summer.. I seem to have had many adventures this summer. I spent the last week of July in beautiful Rangely Maine where the temperatures seemed to hover around the mid to high seventies and now here I am in South Carolina although I feel cool this year as last year it was in the high ninetiel with unbeleivable humidity during my stay. this year it is mostly hgh eighties, so it all telative. Carolyn, i cannot even fathom temperatures of 109. Is everything over-airconditioned where you are. I find I need to keep a light sweater with me when we go shopping.
Rangely was fun. Two of my daughters and their families and myself had a very large house on a small lake where the kids swam and went out in kayaks and canoes. We went hiking in the mountains and rented a pontoon boat to go around beautiful Rangely lake. Rangley is a small town with just a little main St. with shops -no chains or fast food. One of our favorite evening adventures was "mooseing" - driving around at dusk looking for moose. I was reallly exciting when we saw them up close.
This week I enjoyed a tour of the Charestom Tea Plantation where we saw how tea is grown and processed - very interesting. Unfortunately,, nothing was happening in the factory itself while we were there. We tried an excellent spiced peach tea which was a peach flavored black tea, not a fruit tea. I also tried thier First Flush tea which is made from the very first cuttings of the year. I was good but a little weak for me. They do not have decaf varieities but gave directions on making your own. You pour boiling water over yur tea and let it sit for one minute and ten pour it off. You then pour boiling water over the tea again and let it steep. According to them, 80% of the caffeine is release in the first minute of brewing so the second cup is almost caffeine free. I plan to try this but only on an evening when i do not have to get up early the next morning in case I fnd I can't sleep.
We still haven't been to the beach but hope to this weekend. We usually go to Folly. Also on the agenda is a tour of Middleton Place. It is the only plaantation we have not seen yet and I am really looking forward to it. Elza, have you been there?
Elza, where in SC are you moving to? Good luck with you move and selling your house. Thank you for sharing the link of your son's African experience. I plan to watch it when I have a few extra minutes.
Carol, it is good to "see" you. It seems that life has happened to all of us as most of us are not able to drop in as often for a cup of tea as we once did. We have been empty nesters for the better part of twelve years except for a year when my daughter and her family moved in with us. I miss having the kids around but do enjoy the freedom aspects of having the huse to ourselves. Unfortuately the empty bedrooms are filled with so much stuff I wonder where they all slept when they were home. This must be the start of your busy season with your sewing and craft shows. Do you have any new animal patterns that you are making?
Anne, I hope yo see good results from your cataract surgery as you heal. it will be nice for you to have your sister closeer to you. What a wonderful daughter and neice Erica is to be doing all that work in preparation of her move.
Suzie, Please let us know how the Christening went. I am sure Hannah was beautiful in that special dress you had made.
Mary, you certainly have a special gift in taking care of the elderly and ill. You must be such a comfort to them and you do so many little things to make these difficult times for them more pleasant like setting a nice table for tea. My youngest daughter soes home health aid work part times and I know how deeply she has bonded with so many of her clients. I love your idea of astificial flowers in your pots. It is one way to keep them blooming. This year I put a polymer additive in my pots, which weren't even planted until the middle of July. It works like the substance they add to disposable diapers and absorbs the water to keep it from runing out of the pot or evaporating too quickly. As the soil starts to dry it releases moisture back into the soil so you can water less frequently. When i return to MA next week, I will know if it works or not.
i am about to tackle the heat and walk down to a little bakery that doesn't look like it is too far of a walk and maybe have a cup of tea and a little treat. I hope everyone has a good day.

text: September 11 Westminster Receives Award for Wind Power Purchase SALT LAKE CITY – Westminster was recently honored as a Blue Sky Visionary Partner by Rocky Mountain Power Blue Sky for a major new wind power purchase. The wind energy purchase by the college will now meet 11% of the campus' electrical needs. Westminster's purchase will have the same environmental benefit as planting over 176,000 trees or not driving over 1.9 million miles annually. Westminster's participation in the Blue Sky Program stemmed from a proposal made by students in an environmental economics class to college administrators last spring. As part of a class project, students worked with a local non-profit organization, Utah Clean Energy, on a cost-benefit analysis of the Blue Sky Program. Based on their findings, students recommended that the college purchase wind power as a means of demonstrating dedication to environmental sustainability.

I went on a long dayhike yesterday and found that I need more insulation on my bottom half. The temps started out around 31 degrees and went down to around 21 by 5pm. This is before wind chill. I started out with boxers and soft shell fleece pants. A couple hours in I added my rain pants. I had another layer in my long underwear bottoms that I could have added, but I do not think that they would have made a difference. I think I would have gotten cold enough adding that layer that it would have off set any added warmth it would have. I do not want to take the soft shell pants on my hike, they weigh in at over a pound. I already am planning on long underwear bottoms and rain paints. I was cold enough that I do not think that fleece shorts would have made a difference. My butt and tops of my thighs were the only parts of me that were cold. I am confident the rest of my body will be warm with the clothes I am taking.
Does anyone have suggestions on insulation layers to add? I understand that this is on the cold end of what I will see with a March start. I was only hiking for 5 hours in the cold yesterday, but I was cold enough that I want to upgrade my insulation.
I was looking at the Montbell thermawrap pants. They are a little pricey though.

National Endowment for the Arts Hosts Operation Homecoming Writing Workshops At MacDill Air Force Base, Feb. 10-11Author/Army veteran Joe Haldeman and author Judith Ortiz Cofer encourage troops to share their wartime experiences at writing workshops
January 26, 2005 Washington, D.C. - The National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with the United States Air Force, will host writing workshops and discussions for military personnel and their families at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, on February 10 and 11. The workshops are part of the NEA's Operation Homecoming, a unique program that documents and preserves the wartime experiences of men and women in uniform and their families. Since April 2004, Operation Homecoming has brought writing workshops with distinguished authors to military bases nationwide and abroad. Two noted writers will conduct the writing workshops at MacDill: Joe Haldeman and Judith Ortiz Cofer. Joe Haldeman served in the U.S. Army from 1967-1969 as a combat engineer. Stationed in the central Vietnam highlands, he was severely injured and received the Purple Heart. His first novel, War Year (1972), draws from his own wartime diary. His science fiction novel, The Forever War (1975), portrayed galactic soldiers in combat and the difficulties they face in returning to an Earth that has aged thousands of years while they have aged only a few. The Forever War received both the Hugo and Nebula awards, the two most prestigious honors in science fiction writing. Haldeman has written more than 15 books, including Mindbridge (1976), All My Sins Remembered (1977), The Hemingway Hoax (1990), and Guardian (2002). He is an adjunct professor in the Writing and Humanistic Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Born in Puerto Rico in 1952, Judith Ortiz Cofer moved to the United States in her youth due to her father's service in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and in the U.S. Navy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Cofer explores her bilingual and multicultural life in several autobiographical works, including the novel The Line of the Sun (1991) and Silent Dancing: A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood (1990). Her latest novel, The Meaning of Consuelo (2003), focuses on a young girl coming of age in Puerto Rico in the 1950s and the tension between the traditional island culture and the increasing presence of American ways of life, often imported by returning war veterans. Called "a novelist of historical compass and sensitivity" by the New York Times, Cofer has received the PEN/Martha Albrand Special Citation for Nonfiction, among other awards. She is the Franklin Professor of English at the University of Georgia. "For the men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, these workshops will be an invaluable opportunity," said NEA Chairman Dana Gioia. "Guided by talented writers, they will have the opportunity to reflect, learn, and write about their experiences." Operation Homecoming is presented in coordination with the Department of Defense and the Southern Arts Federation. Operation Homecoming is made possible by The Boeing Company. MacDill Air Force Base hosts workshops and reception A welcome reception featuring remarks by both authors will be held on Thursday, February 10, 4:00 – 6:00 pm at the Eagle's Nest, MacDill Officer's Club, 2106 Florida Keys Ave. Immediately following the reception, Joe Haldeman will lead the first writing workshop on Thursday, February 10, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at the MacDill Officer's Club. Judith Ortiz Cofer's workshop will be held Friday, February 11 from 11:30 am-1:30 pm at the MacDill Officer's Club. The writing workshops and reception are open to military personnel who served after September 11, 2001, retired veterans, reservists, and members of the National Guard as well as their immediate adult family. MacDill Air Force Base will admit active-duty and retired military personnel and guests as capacity allows. Personnel and guests who would like to attend the workshops and opening reception must complete a registration form; for forms, contact William Foster at (813) 828-3607 or firstname.lastname@example.com. The registration deadline is Wednesday, February 9. Media that wish to attend must RSVP directly with MacDill AFB Public Affairs Office; contact Deputy Chief of Public Affairs 1st Lt. Erin Dorrance at 813-828-2215. Educational resources Military personnel and family members who want to learn more about wartime literature can obtain the Operation Homecoming audio CD. The CD features recordings of war letters, poems, fiction and memoirs from the Civil War to the Vietnam War. Copies of the Operation Homecoming CD can be ordered free of charge through the NEA Publications section at www.arts.gov. Audio clips are also available at www.operationhomecoming.org. Call for submissions In addition to workshops and educational resources, the NEA has issued an open call for submissions from military personnel, reservists, National Guard members, and Coalition Authority members who served after September 11, 2001, as well as their immediate families. Items may include essays, letters, short stories, poems, and other writings related to recent military service. All submissions will be preserved in an appropriate federal archive, and an Operation Homecoming anthology will feature the best writings submitted to the program. The anthology will be distributed free of charge to military installations, schools, and libraries. Submissions will be accepted through March 31, 2005.

Beau Brummell: This Charming Man is a worthwhile video that slipped by me unnoticed until recently. The 2006 BBC television production is based on Ian Kelly's biography, and James Purefoy plays the Beau. The clothes are reasonably true to the times.
Watching it reminded me once again that one of Brummel's legacies (in addition to trousers, which he's arguably responsible for) is the day wear combination of a blue jacket, cream or tan waistcoat, white shirt, tan cavalry twill trousers and black half boots (the Italians didn't popularize brown shoes until later). Waistcoats and breeches were lighter in color than the jacket in those days, with the objective of giving a man a bit of the look of a marble statue.
A few parts of Brummell's look require a judgement call on a substitute that isn't outright costume. Jodhpur or chelsea boots would be the closest appropriate style, I think, to the original riding boots. And the contemporary equivalent to the Brummell's cravat would probably be a day ascot though I'm sure there are men who will feel they can't wear one (they should substitute a four in hand but they'll be the worse for it).
To this day, a blue blazer and tan cavalry twill trousers is common civilian garb in England, 200 years after the Beau wore the original clothes.

Now I'll have to get the DVD, not only bc it will improve my sartorial education, but also bc of Purefoy. I've been watching the "Rome" DVD and I am very impressed with him as Antony. Turns out he screen tested to replace Dalton as 007, was mentioned as a contender to replace Brosnan, and will be "The Saint" on TV.

I'm currently half way through Ian Kelley's biography and while I am very much enjoying it, all I can think of is getting my hands on that DVD. I find books (or web sites) about fashion to be very frustrating if they don't include numerous illustrations of the topic at hand!

I plan also on getting "Edward & Mrs. Simpson" DVD to supplement this one. The Duke was the Beau of the 20th century.

Coal sales investigated by feds; no violations yet
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — The U.S. Department of Interior is investigating whether mining companies are skirting royalty rules as they increase exports of coal to Asia, federal officials disclosed Friday.
No violations have yet been issued, but a newly released report to two U.S. senators says audits of overseas sales have just begun for years when coal export volumes from federal lands grew substantially.
The investigation is focused on companies' use of affiliates or brokers to sell coal from mines in the Western U.S. to customers in Asia. The parent company pays government royalties based on the mine price, then the affiliate ships the fuel overseas where it's sold for many times the original price.

The Seattle Mariners are a professional baseball team based in Seattle, Washington. Enfranchised in 1977, the Mariners are a member of the Western Division of Major League Baseball's American League. Safeco Field has been the Mariners' home ballpark since July 1999. From their 1977 inception until June 1999, the club's home park was the Kingdome.
The "Mariners" name originates from the prominence of marine culture in the city of Seattle. They are nicknamed "the M's", a title featured in their primary logo from 1987–1992. The current team colors are Navy Blue, Northwest Green (also known as dark cyan), and Metallic Silver, after having been Royal Blue and Gold from 1977–1992. Their mascot is the Mariner Moose.
The organization did not field a winning team until 1991, and any real success eluded them until 1995 when they won their first division championship and defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series. The game-winning hit in Game 5, in which Edgar Martínez drove home Ken Griffey, Jr. to win the game in the 11th inning, clinched a series win for the Mariners, and has since become an iconic moment in team history.
The Mariners won 116 games in 2001, which set the American League record for most wins in a single season and tied the 1906 Chicago Cubs for the Major League record for most wins in a single season.
The Mariners are one of eight Major League Baseball teams without a World Series title,[1] and one of two (along with the Washington Nationals) to never have appeared in a World Series.
Owned by Nintendo of America, the Mariners are one of three Major League Baseball teams under corporate ownership; the other two are the Atlanta Braves and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Contents |
[edit] History
The Mariners were created as a result of a lawsuit. In 1970, in the aftermath of the Seattle Pilots' purchase and relocation to Milwaukee (as the Milwaukee Brewers) by future Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig, the City of Seattle, King County, and the state of Washington (represented by then-State Attorney General and later U.S. Senator Slade Gorton) sued the American League for breach of contract.[2] Confident that Major League Baseball would return to Seattle within a few years, King County built the multi-purpose Kingdome, which would become home to the NFL's expansion Seattle Seahawks in 1976.
The Mariners played their first game on April 6, 1977, to a sold-out crowd of 57,762 at the Kingdome, losing 7–0 to the California Angels.[3] The first home run in team history was hit on April 10, 1977, by designated hitter Juan Bernhardt.[4] That year, star pitcher Diego Seguí, in his last major league season, became the only player to play for both the Pilots and the Mariners. The Mariners finished with a 64–98 record, echoing the record the 1969 Pilots once held. In 1979, Seattle hosted the 50th Major League Baseball All-Star Game. After the 1981 season, the Mariners were sold to California businessman and future U.S. Ambassador to Spain George Argyros.
In 1993, the Mariners donned their current uniforms. During the 1992–93 offseason, the Mariners hired manager Lou Piniella, who had led the Cincinnati Reds to victory in the 1990 World Series. Mariner fans embraced Piniella,[5] and he would helm the team from 1993 through 2002, winning two American League Manager of the Year Awards along the way.
The 2001 Mariners club finished with a record of 116-46, leading all of Major League Baseball in winning percentage for the duration of the season and easily winning the American League West division championship. In so doing, the team broke the 1998 Yankees American League single-season record of 114 wins and matched the all-time MLB single-season record for wins set by the 1906 Chicago Cubs. At the end of the season, Ichiro Suzuki won the AL MVP, AL Rookie of the Year, and one of three outfield Gold Glove Awards, becoming the first player since the 1975 Boston Red Sox's Fred Lynn to win all three in the same season.
On October 22, 2008 the Mariners announced the hiring of Jack Zduriencik, formerly scouting director of the Milwaukee Brewers, as their general manager.[6] Weeks later, on November 18, the team named Oakland Athletics bench coach Don Wakamatsu as its new field manager. Wakamatsu and Zduriencik hired an entirely new coaching staff for 2009, which included former World Series MVP John Wetteland as bullpen coach. The off-season also saw a litany of roster moves, headlined by a 12-player, 3-team trade that included sending All-Star closer J. J. Putz to the New York Mets and brought 5 players—including prospect Mike Carp and outfielder Endy Chávez from New York and outfielder Franklin Gutierrez from the Cleveland Indians—to Seattle. Many of the moves, like the free agent signing of Mike Sweeney, were made in part with the hope of squelching the clubhouse infighting that plagued the Mariners in 2008.[7] It also saw the return of Seattle favorite Ken Griffey, Jr. The 2009–10 offseason was highlighted by the trade for 2008 American League Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee from the Philadelphia Phillies, the signing of third baseman Chone Figgins and the contract extension of star pitcher "King" Félix Hernández.
On June 2, 2010 Ken Griffey, Jr. announced his retirement after 22 MLB seasons.[8]
On August 9, 2010 the Mariners fired field manager Don Wakamatsu along with bench coach Ty Van Burkleo, pitching coach Rick Adair and performance coach Steve Hecht. Daren Brown, the manager of the AAA affiliate Tacoma Rainiers, took over as interim field manager. Roger Hansen, the former Minor League catching coordinator, was promoted to bench coach. Carl Willis, the former Minor League pitching coordinator, was promoted to pitching coach.[9]
The Mariners hired former Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge as their new manager on October 19, 2010.[10]
On November 10, 2010, Dave Niehaus, the Mariners' play-by-play announcer since the team's founding, died of a heart attack at the age of 75.[11] In memory of Niehaus, Seattle rapper Macklemore wrote a tribute song called "My Oh My" in December 2010. He performed the song at the 2011 Mariner's Opening Day on April 8.
On July 27, 2011, the Mariners ended a franchise high 17-game losing streak with a win against the New York Yankees.
On April 21, 2012, Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox threw the third perfect game in the Chicago White Sox history against the Mariners at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington. It was the 21st perfect game in MLB history.[12]
On June 8, 2012, the Mariners starting pitcher Kevin Millwood and five other pitchers combined to throw the tenth combined no-hitter in MLB history and the first in team history. The last combined one occurred in 2003, when six Houston Astros no-hit the New York Yankees in New York. The six pitchers used in a no-hitter is a major league record.
On July 23, 2012, Ichiro Suzuki was traded to the New York Yankees for two minor leaguers and cash. Ironically the trade was announced before the start of a three-game home series against the Yankees,[13] and throughout the series, Ichiro was given a standing ovation during starting lineup introductions, during his at-bats, and after each game.
On August 15, 2012, Félix Hernández pitched the first perfect game in team history, shutting down the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 at Safeco Field. It was the 23rd perfect game in MLB history and the first in Seattle Mariners history.[14]
[edit] Spring training
The team mainly plays spring training games in Peoria, Arizona at the Peoria Sports Complex. They share the complex and stadium with the San Diego Padres.[15] On March 25, 2013, in a 16-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, the Mariners broke the team record for total home runs during a spring training season with 52.[16]

[edit] Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame
Seattle Mariners former chairman and CEO John Ellis announced on June 14, 1997 the creation of a Mariners Hall of Fame. It is operated by the Seattle Mariners organization. It honors the players, staff and other individuals that greatly contributed to the history and success of the Mariners franchise. It is located at the Baseball Museum of the Pacific Northwest in Safeco Field.
The current members of the Mariners Hall of Fame are:
- Dave Niehaus, Broadcaster (1977–2010)
- 21 Alvin Davis, 1B (1984–91)
- 19 Jay Buhner, OF (1988–2001)
- 11 Edgar Martínez, DH (1987–2004)
- 6 Dan Wilson, C (1994- 2005)
- 51 Randy Johnson, P (1989- 1998)[19]
[edit] Retired numbers
Jackie Robinson Retired by all of MLB Retired 1997 |
The Seattle Mariners have not retired any uniform numbers. Official team policy states that number retirement is reserved for players in the National Baseball Hall of Fame who played for at least five years with the Mariners, or career Mariners players whose name has appeared on at least one Hall of Fame ballot.[20]
Despite not officially retiring any numbers, the team has not reissued the numbers 11 (Edgar Martínez), 14 (Lou Piniella), 19 (Jay Buhner) or 24 (Ken Griffey, Jr.) to any uniformed staff since the last player to have worn the number left the team. Number 56 (Greg Halman) has not been issued since his death following the 2011 season. Under current team policy, Martinez, who played his entire major-league career in Seattle and first appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot in 2010, is the only player unquestionably eligible to have his number retired. If "career player" is interpreted less strictly, Buhner would also be eligible for number retirement. Although he began his MLB career with the New York Yankees, he played less than two full seasons there; he spent the remainder of his 15-year career with the Mariners. He appeared on one Hall of Fame ballot, in 2007.
Uniform number 00 is presumed off-limits, as it has been worn by the Mariner Moose since 1997 (outfielder Jeffrey Leonard was the last player to don 00 for the M's, in 1990). From 1990 to 1996, the Moose wore the last 2 digits of the year of the current season.[21]
Jackie Robinson's number 42 was retired throughout Major League Baseball on April 15, 1997.
Number 51, worn by Randy Johnson, was withheld from players from 1998 until 2001, when it was awarded to Ichiro Suzuki upon his request after wearing it for his entire career in Japan. It has presumably been taken out of circulation again, following Ichiro's 2012 trade to the Yankees.
24 was not issued from the time Ken Griffey, Jr. left the team after the 1999 season until it was re-issued to him when he returned in 2009 and has not been reissued since his retirement in 2010.
[edit] Culture
[edit] Rally Fries
Rally Fries are a baseball tradition started by Mariners broadcaster Mike Blowers in 2007. During a game against the Cincinnati Reds, a fan tried to catch a foul ball along the right-field line but in turn spilled his tray of french fries along the track. While chatting on the air and seeing the mishap, Blowers' partner, Dave Sims, suggested that he should send a new tray of fries to the fan. Blowers agreed, and sent his intern to deliver a plate of fries to the man.[22]
However, on the next game, fans made signs and boards, asking Blowers for free fries as well. Coincidentally, every time the fries were delivered, the Mariners seem to score or rally from a deficit, and thus the "Rally Fries" were created. This became so popular with the fans that signs were even seen when the Mariners were on the road, though on August 1, 2009, Blowers mentioned he doesn't award winners on the road.[23]
Generally, Blowers will select a person or a group of people that appeals to him, whether it is through fans wearing elaborate costumes or waving funny signs and boards. The fries are usually delivered from Ivar's, a Seattle-based seafood restaurant with a location at Safeco Field. The amount of fries given out varies with the size of the winning group of fans. The winners are generally selected around the 5th or 6th inning, although potential candidates are shown in almost every inning beforehand.
[edit] King's Court
As the 2011 season progressed, the Mariners marketing staff came up with an idea to encourage the growing fanbase of Cy Young-winning pitcher "King" Félix Hernández. Every Hernandez start at Safeco Field is now accompanied by a King's Court section—a place for his fans to sing, dance and cheer while donning custom-made shirts.
The King's Court is both a personal rooting section for Hernandez and trend-setter for Safeco Field. The team encouraged fans to dress like Larry Bernandez, Hernandez's alter ego from a Mariners TV Commercial, or show up in wacky costumes, rewarding the best with a ceremonial turkey leg.[24]

[edit] Radio and television
The Mariners' flagship radio station is KIRO-AM 710 (ESPN Radio), which previously broadcast Mariners contests from 1985–2002. Former flagship stations include KOMO 1000 AM (2003–2008), and KVI 570 AM (1977–1984). Television rights are held by Root Sports Northwest. In years past, Mariners games have also appeared in Seattle on over-the-air stations KING-TV, KIRO-TV, KTZZ-TV, and KSTW-TV. Selected Mariners games are also available on Canadian television, due to an agreement between Root Sports Northwest and Rogers Sportsnet.
The Mariners' broadcast team for 2010 featured Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs—back for their 32nd and 23rd seasons with the club, respectively—as well as veteran broadcaster Dave Sims and former infielder Mike Blowers. For the first three innings of each game, Niehaus worked the television broadcast with Blowers, and Rizzs and Sims handled radio duties; after the third inning, Niehaus and Sims traded places. Niehaus, who had broadcast for the Mariners since their inaugural season of 1977, died on November 10, 2010. For the 2011 season, Dave Niehaus' duties in the broadcast booth are being filled by a collection of former Mariners broadcasters such as Ron Fairly, Ken Levine, and Ken Wilson; and former Mariners' players such as Dave Valle, Dan Wilson, Jay Buhner, and Dave Henderson. Seattle radio personality Matt Pitman hosts the post-game show on the Mariners' radio network, along with clubhouse reporter Shannon Drayer. Spanish-language radio broadcast duties are handled by Alex Rivera on play-by-play and former second baseman Julio Cruz providing color commentary.
Tom Hutyler has been the Mariners' public address announcer since 1987, first at the Kingdome, and presently at Safeco Field.[25] While KOMO 1000 AM was the Mariners' flagship radio station, Hutyler occasionally hosted the post-game radio show.

But Democrats say there is not enough money for deficit reduction without the tax increases on the wealthy.
"The president made it very clear in his campaign that there is not enough -- there are not enough resources," Pelosi said on ABC. "You have to cut some investments. If you cut too many, you're hampering growth, you're hampering education, our investments for the future. So just to close loopholes is far too little money."
Price said on CNN that tax increases would not be effective.
"Tax increases to chase ever higher spending is a fool's errand," he said. "What we need to do is have that balanced approach that we've all been talking about, which, again, is increasing revenues through a process of tax reform, and then spending reductions."
While some have suggested a deal could be reached in the new year, the legislators speaking on Sunday agreed there is urgency to avert the cliff before January.
"Kicking the can further down the road, which is one of the things that we hear out of Washington all the time, will no longer be acceptable to either the American people or to the challenges that we have to get this economy rolling again and get jobs created," Price said, calling it a crisis.
Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, a Republican who previously served two terms in the U.S. House, said on Fox that "if they just put a Band-Aid on this, we'll be in another fiscal cliff in a few months."
Pelosi said that Congress should be able to reach a deal because "we're all grown-ups."
"We have a responsibility to the American people. The elements for an agreement are there. Time is of the essence," she said. "The quicker we do it, the more confidence we instill, the better it is for the economy and for the American people."

From the State House to the White House sensible gun reform advances
By Marc Morial
"No one hunts with an assault rifle. No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer and too many innocent people have died already. End the madness, now!"
--New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo
More than a month after the shooting deaths of 20 first-graders and six adults in a school in Newtown, Connecticut, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the most comprehensive gun legislation in the nation.
Passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, the New York SAFE Act strengthens the state's assault weapons ban, reduces gun magazine capacity from 10 to seven bullets, increases penalties for purchasing illegal guns and using guns on school grounds, mandates universal background checks, and takes guns out of the hands of mental health patients deemed likely to commit violent acts.
Two days later at the White House, President Obama unveiled the most sweeping federal gun control proposals in a generation. In addition to calling on Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban and close background check loopholes, the President signed 23 executive actions to immediately strengthen background checks, make schools safer, increase access to mental health services and reduce gun violence. We applaud the actions of Governor Cuomo and President Obama to finally address the plague of senseless gun violence and we are encouraged by their commitment to increase resources for mental health counselling and programs that help create safer communities.
As a long-time advocate of sensible gun control measures, the National Urban League stands ready to work with the Governor, the President and others to end the epidemic of gun violence in America. Each year on average, more than 100,000 people are shot or killed with a gun in this country. The American people have had enough. A Siena College survey shows that 73 percent of New Yorkers support the state's expanded assault weapons ban and new limits on high capacity magazines.
Recent national polls also show that the American people believe sensible gun control measures are more important than protecting gun rights. Clearly, it is time for state legislatures and Congress to put the safety of our children and the wishes of the people before the demands of the gun lobby which has used extremist rhetoric to promote a tortured and distorted interpretation of the Second Amendment. And let me be clear: While we understand the desire to promote safety and protect our children, we are adamantly opposed to arming teachers or placing armed guards in schools. Guns do not belong in schools.
As a nation, we have been horrified by the tragedies in Columbine, Aurora, Oak Creek and now Newtown. But as Americans, we should be equally heartbroken and outraged by the daily gun violence occurring in cities throughout the country. Since the Newtown massacre, there have been more than 1,000 additional gun deaths in this country, and several more school shooting incidents.
The time for half-measures is over. As the President said last week, "I will put everything I've got into this and so will Joe Biden...but this will not happen unless the American people demand it." We urge you to join the National Urban League in calling on Congress to work with the President to enact common-sense gun reforms. Our goal should be to make America the safest big country in the world.
+ Top Story
African Americans have spent much of our history fighting for equal treatment. Just two generations ago, our parents and our grandparents were banned from eating at certain restaurants, attending certain schools, and working in certain professions.
When then President George W. Bush submitted the names of his judicial court nominee picks it took the Senate on average 18 days to take a vote on his picks. When now President Obama submits the names of his judicial court picks it takes 132 days on average to get a Senate vote on them.
President Obama's cautious admonition not to rush to judgment about the Boston Marathon terror bombing until all the facts were in put a momentary check on the media and some in the public who were rushing to spew the perennial "Muslim terrorists" did it line.
The fact that I didn't go any further than calling him useless was my being nice. If I said what I really felt about Sen. Reid, then you could call me mean. In fact, you could feasibly ask me if I kissed my late Mother with that mouth....
For five hours on August 8, 1944, the young second lieutenant stood nervously before an all-white nine judge military jury panel at Camp (now Fort) Hood, Texas. He faced multiple charges in his court martial proceedings. His only real offense was that he had defied a segregation mandate.
In 1963, more than a quarter-million people gathered in Washington, DC to march for jobs and equality. The Great March for Jobs and Freedom was a watershed moment in American history - birthing now-iconic speeches that voiced the hardships facing blacks as they sought a fair shot at an elusive dream.
The Republican National Committee's $10 million outreach to blacks, Latinos and Asians carries with it a profound sense of irony. If it is to succeed it will require much more than the legion of paid staffers going into ethnic neighborhoods for sit-down discussions with voters.
Now if you've ever been to Ohio, particularly if you've ever been to OSU, you know that there are few things more important than football. Football players were practically Gods at OSU, especially if the team had vanquished the hated University of Michigan Wolverines that year. They had absolute power.

After fucking your girl, you cum all over her face while tearing open a feather pillow and throw all the feather in her face - which stick to her and in her fury she gets up and squacks like and LOOKS like an 'angry chicken'! I was fucking Jen and pulled an angry chicken on her, she went crazy and was spitting out and cleaning up feathers all night!

Whilst fucking a girl doggstyle, pull both her arm's behind her back and put your dick in her ass. This should cause her to helplessly 'cluck her chicken wing's' and make whateva sound a chiken in pain make's. "I think almost everyone has fucked that skank!"
"Yeah, she even asked for it again when I 'angry chickened' her!" |

while doing a girl doggie style, grad both her arms and hold them behind her back. then you slip out and stick it up her ass. with this she should get really pissed and her arms should start thrashing around, similar to a very angry chicken. I was fucking Kate, when i pulled the angry chicken. She went mental!!
3. | Angry Chicken | ||
The form a women takes, when she starts bitching at you about something. She will be making annoying noise (yelling or something equally as annoying, like a chicken's BEH GOK!!), accompanied by rapid forward head pecking motions, with hands on hip, like wings. An angry chicken! I woke up this morning, and she came at me like an angry chicken because I left the toilet seat up again.
So you want to bitch at me like an angry chicken first thing in the morning? Tell me more about how you don't like the reaction you get. |
