NEW HAVEN — From the get-go, the Addison County Fair and Field Days has drawn crowds, said Lucien Paquette, the 92-year-old Middlebury resident who started Field Days in 1948. In the early days, families piled into their cars, traveled to whichever local farm was hosting the fair that year and congregated to learn about the latest revolutions in agricultural technology.
This was after the Second World War, Paquette recalled, when change was happening at an extraordinary pace. The latest advancements — ranging from artificial insemination for cattle to dynamite blasting in ponds — fascinated fair-goers.
"Many of these things were novel," Paquette said. For the first time since the war, he said, new technologies were becoming rapidly available to consumers — and in Addison County, the Field Days celebration was exactly the place to learn about these advancements.
That tradition of demonstrations and agricultural education — so fundamental in the fair's earliest years — continues today. But while the fair — which opened its 60th incarnation on Tuesday and will continue in high gear through the fireworks on Saturday evening — certainly includes its fair share of novelties, one of the largest and most popular exhibits today looks not to the future, but rather at the past.
The case in point is an old barn tucked away in one corner of the New Haven fairgrounds, where Field Days moved in 1968. The barn, originally built around 1825, was moved to the fairgrounds in 1993 and lovingly reconstructed. It now is the hub of the sprawling antique equipment demonstration, featuring an expansive collection of old farm and household items dating back as far as the early 1800s.

MIDDLEBURY — A citizens' committee is seeking around $260,000 in grant money to introduce new walkways and a terraced viewing area to provide better access to, and enjoyment of, the Otter Creek Falls in downtown Middlebury.
The Middlebury selectboard and the committee will present the plan at a public meeting set for 6:50 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, in the town offices on South Main Street. It's a plan assembled by an ad hoc "Riverfront Committee" that has spent recent months discussing ways Middlebury could more effectively use the Otter Creek Falls as a calling card to draw more visitors and commerce to the downtown.
"It would be so good for Middlebury to make that area accessible," Riverfront Committee member Nancy Malcolm said in referring to the Otter Creek Falls. "It's really a jewel."
A jewel that has been likened to a "diamond in the rough" by many town officials. Many a visitor has "oohed" at the sight of the Otter Creek cascading beneath the Roman arch Battell Bridge on Main Street. Trouble is, one of the only unencumbered vantage points from which to view the falls is the footbridge that links the Marble Works to Frog Hollow. Business leaders, environmental groups and selectmen have promoted a cleanup of the debris that collects at the base of the falls, so that the area can be landscaped and made more inviting. Selectmen several years ago commissioned a study that included a suggestion to beautify and develop the rear facades of Main Street businesses that border the falls area.

ChikaLicious, a well-known dessert bar in Manhattan, is run by husband and wife team Don and Chika Tillmans. It is an intimate place seating twenty. With a modest and efficient staff, ChikaLicious turns out an array of beautiful plated desserts. I found the dessert tasting, which is the specialty, to be delightful. At US$12, the tasting includes an amuse, a plated dessert and an assortment of petit fours. For $17, customers also receive a glass of wine paired for the dessert.
During our visit, the amuse was a mint ice cream sitting atop a light and soupy chocolate gelée. My companions and I ordered three desserts. One was a carrot and pineapple mille feuille that consisted of a carrot cream that was sandwiched between crunchy noodle-like pastry layers. The mille feuille was topped with pineapple sorbet and plated with a carrot sauce. This dessert was an interesting and tasty play on mille feuille. The flavours and textures worked wonderfully together.
The second dessert was a honey parfait in a blackberry soup topped with tuile. The parfait was cold, light and refreshing, while the berry soup and tuile complemented its subtle honey flavour.
Third, we had a coconut panna cotta that was served with basil sorbet, mango-pineapple salad and sweet basil seeds. Of all three desserts, this was my favourite. The soft and delicate panna cotta worked beautifully next to the juicy chunks of fresh mango. The dessert paired fresh fruit flavours that complimented each other perfectly.
The petit four plate included a toasted coconut marshmallow, which was light and ethereal, a classic dark truffle, which was high in cocoa, and a thin vanilla bean cookie. It was a great way to end this fantastic dessert tasting.
The creative desserts at ChikaLicious were constructed on flavours, colours and textures that clearly worked well together. I am not surprised that ChikaLicious is often full and sold out before closing. If you have a sweet tooth, don't miss ChikaLicious!
Room 4 Dessert
Slick, trendy and hip is how I'd describe Room 4 Dessert. This dessert bar is a narrow, twenty-seat, space in lower Manhattan that has a beautiful, modern interior. It is a three-month old hotspot that is a must for dedicated foodies. I would suggest arriving early or making a reservation, as the bar can easily fill up. The dessert menu is engaging and deceptively simple. There are three categories: first, desserts in glasses, second, tastings with multiple components and, finally, dessert alternatives, which include cheese plates and assorted petit fours. They also feature creative cocktails and a large selection of wines and spirits.
The desserts by the glass are beautifully layered creations that mix soft and crunchy textures with bold and interesting flavours. The "ice ice café" that my dessert companion ordered was an exquisite blend of coffee gelée, coffee cream, sweet basil seeds and ground cocoa nibs served with a frozen passion fruit parfait. The flavours and textures made my taste buds go wild.
There were four dessert tastings on the menu, and I sampled three.
First, "something about chocolate" included a warm chocolate financier drizzled with olive oil, a light chocolate soup called "bubbles", a chocolate sabayon topped with brown sugar and a smooth silky chocolate ice cream that sat on a bed of feuilletine. Second, "red" consisted of a hibiscus jelly, raspberry bread, a beet sorbet on caramelized cereal and a vanilla parfait with a red wine caramel. Third, "pique nique springtemps" had a small bun with a pomelo and tomato compote, a beer sorbet, a rhubarb panna cotta with crumble and a rhubarb pomelo compote.
All three desserts were of a high caliber—engaging, experimental and artistic. Pastry chef Will Goldfarb does a wonderful job of pushing the dessert envelope. He creates conceptual desserts that have customers think and rethink flavours and techniques. They are desserts that delight and intrigue, that call diners to sample the entire menu.

Movie critics often cite "predictability" as a negative. However, anyone who frequents a favorite restaurant or returns to a special vacation spot is counting on this factor.
I imagine the same comfort of familiarity is sought by fans of romantic comedies. The "rom com" has been a mainstay of cinema almost as long as movies have existed. Most often, the plot follows a well-established, tried-and-true formula. The protagonists meet, initially despise each other, eventually realize they've fallen in love long after the audience has figured it out, and presumably live happily ever after.
The new film "Letters to Juliet" doesn't stray far from this successful formula, even though it does have the distinction of two parallel love stories. In this film, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is a fact-checker for the New Yorker with aspirations to be a writer. She is engaged to budding restaurateur Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal). The two are taking a "pre-honeymoon" vacation to Verona, Italy, where they will sightsee while Victor finds cheese, olive oil and wine suppliers for his new restaurant.
Victor's complete obsession with his upcoming restaurant opening causes him to ignore Sophie, who reluctantly decides to tour the area on her own. Verona is most famous as being the setting for "Romeo and Juliet." Sophie is surprised to find that young women leave notes taped to the wall underneath Juliet's balcony seeking romantic advice. She is more puzzled when she notices a young woman gathering the notes each night and carrying them away in a basket.
Sophie learns there is a group of women who attempt to answer the letters left by the lovelorn, and she soon befriends them and is even permitted to answer a few letters. One day while gathering the letters, Sophie discovers a yellowed envelope behind a loose stone in the wall. The letter is from a teenage English girl named Claire, who wrote Juliet 50 years ago to seek advice about her love, Lorenzo.
Sophie is fascinated by the letter and writes a response to the address on the envelope. A few days later, she is approached by Charlie (Christopher Egan), the young grandson of Claire. He admonishes Sophie for disturbing his grandmother and filling her head with romantic fantasies that will probably turn out badly. Unbeknownst to Charlie, Sophie follows him back to his hotel, where she meets Claire (Vanessa Redgrave).
Claire is determined to find Lorenzo, who could be dead for all she knows. She invites Sophie to come along, much to the consternation of Charlie. Sophie agrees because Victor is still indisposed and she wants to write an article about the adventure.
What follows is predictable. Nonetheless, the two female leads, Seyfried and Redgrave, are so luminous in their own way and their romantic quest so pure that one tends to simply go along for the ride. The film is helped by the Tuscan scenery, which is so gorgeous that it probably seems real only to people who have been there.
Another thing particularly enjoyable about the film is the high ethical standards displayed by all characters. There is no infidelity, the current and former romantic interests of the principal characters are never portrayed as evil or buffoons, and the love Claire has felt for Lorenzo (Franco Nero) for five decades is of the most idealistic type.
An interesting side note to this cinematic love story is the real-life relationship of Redgrave and Nero. The two had a brief affair after meeting on the set of "Camelot" in 1967. The two split shortly after the birth of their son Carlo in 1969. After nearly 40 years, during which they had relationships with other people, Redgrave and Nero married in 2006.
For fans of this genre, and there are many, "Letters to Juliet" will be another chapter in a long list of touching romantic comedies. For those who believe true romance exists, "Letters to Juliet" will warm the soul and rekindle that belief.

Some Girls like it
Hot. Some girls like it Hard. Some girls like it Wet.
I just like it.
Pretty much any way I can get it. Don't you?
Besides, I'm
not really old enough to know any better yet. I like being young and
free and able to explore my desires. I have a lot of them. I'm
pretty much your all around girl. 23, fun loving, free spirited and
willing to talk about almost anything. Most of all I like to think I
am a good listener and very creative when it comes to talking about my
fantasies. I haven't gotten to experience all of them yet, so my
imagination is very vivid. I have sex on the brain all of the time.
Even when I'm not supposed to, it can be tough to think straight when all
I have on my mind is what we talked about last night, or better yet what
we did last night. I'm so into this right now, hearing you, and
learning all about what you want from a girl like me. I am too shy
to talk to men like this in person. Won't you help me confess my
deepest desires so I can finally act them out?
What do you
want? Got any confessions or desires of your own? It is very
exciting for me to get to hear them. Especially that last explosive
moment when my sweet voice drives you over the edge and you are about to
cum all over me. I secretly crave that moment. It is so
intimate hearing you when you get off with me.
I know I am not
a model or anything, but I am proud of my body. I am active and I
like taking care of myself. I tend to be a natural girl, no implants
and not a ton of make up or goo on my face unless it is you put it there.
I love to dance, go out to eat, movies. Normal girl stuff.
Sports and travel are great. Most of all though I am looking for an
open minded man to explore with, to have satisfying sexual experiences
with. Each time I try to cum harder than ever before and so far it
is working. I love getting to know my body!
Do you want to
get to know my body? Come on sexy, get with it! I can't hold
this apple here all day can I? Aren't you the least little bit
tempted? Take a bite and let my sweet juices run down your chin.
Feel how ripe I am for the plucking. Pick me now, please...

Avenged Sevenfold Unveil 30-Second Snippet of New Song 'Hail to the King'
The details of the new Avenged Sevenfold disc have been unraveling bit by bit over the last few weeks with the title 'Hail to the King' and release date of Aug. 27 being revealed. Now the band is offering up even more with a 30-second clip of the title track.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Two explosions targeting a military intelligence facility in Damascus today have left at least 40 dead and at least 170 wounded in what government officials say might have been the largest attack on the capital since the uprising began in March 2011.
Central Damascus is under tight control of government forces, but it has been targeted by several other bombs since December, Associated Press reports. The government has blamed such bombings on Islamist militants using the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad as a cover. An Al Qaeda-inspired group has claimed responsibility for some past attacks and may be behind this one.
What is clear is that the conflict has turned violent on both sides.
Yesterday, United Nations special envoy to Syria Kofi Annan warned the country was on the brink of civil war and that adherence to a cease-fire brokered in April was the only way to step back from the ledge.
AP reports that today's bombings in Damascus were among the deadliest since large-scale attacks began in December and were followed by attacks in Idlib, Aleppo, and other cities. The targeted building is part of a compound housing a "feared section" of Syrian intelligence services, known as the Palestine Branch. The bombs went off as workers were arriving for work.
The opposition Syrian National Council insisted that the Assad regime was behind the bombings, saying it orchestrated them to arouse sympathy for the government, proving that there would be chaos without Assad, and to undermine support for the opposition by portraying them as terrorists, Agence France-Presse reports. "This is the only way for the regime to claim that what is happening in Syria is the work of terrorist gangs and that Al Qaeda is expanding its presence in Syria," said Samir Nashar, a member of the group.
A Syrian activist in Damascus echoed those beliefs in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. "This is the work of the regime," the man, named Moaz, said. "No one else has the capability for an explosion like this, not the Free Syrian Army [the rebels' armed forces], not anyone. If the Free Syrian Army had this ability it would have freed Syria a long time ago."
"The message is don't mess with the regime and all the (UN) monitors don't matter to me and I will convince the entire world with my point of view that there are terrorists in the country," Moaz said.
The headline on the statement about the attack on the Syrian Arab News Agency website was "The Reality of Events: Tens of Martyrs and Wounded Civilians in Two Terrorist Explosions in Damascus" (Warning: Graphic photos). Syria's Day Press News reports that Syrian TV said "terrorists" were behind the attacks.
A secretive group called the Al-Nusra Front, likely a group of Salafi jihadists, has claimed responsibility for some of the previous bombings of government targets. The Christian Science Monitor reported last month that there is growing evidence that Syria's uprising has attracted jihadist militants "looking for a new theater of conflict" now that the US has withdrawn from Iraq and NATO operations in Afghanistan are winding down. Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri voiced his support for the Syrian uprising in February, saying Muslims in neighboring countries were compelled to come to the opposition's aid.
The New York Times reports that militant websites have been filled with discussions about whether the Syrian uprising "constituted a legitimate jihad."

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" He asked, for what seemed like the thousandth time.
"I'm really not scared, Edward. All I want is to be with you forever."
Very nervously, he leaned in to kiss me. We were lying in the sunlight of the meadow, just the two of us, with Carlisle and Alice nearby. Graduation was only yesterday, yet it seemed like years. Edward and I departed the school immediately for his house, where Carlisle performed our wedding ceremony. Today, he would finally do what I had been begging for since Phoenix, almost a year and one half ago. Today, he would finally change me. I was about to go through the most immense pain I would ever experience, yet I was excited. I get to spend eternity with my one true love, my Romeo, my prince. What could possibly be better?
Edward's face expressed his concern. I couldn't be sure whether it was fear of accidentally losing control or fear of the pain he would put me through leaving him so distraught.
"Edward, it's too late to change your mind. If you don't do it now, I'll get Carlisle over here. Either way, it's happening," I stated, my voice weakening with each word.
"I'll do it, but I just don't want you to suffer. I just don't want you to experience that kind of pain. I just don't want you to hate me for it later." His eyes showed his sincerity.
"I won't hate you, Edward; I could never, ever hate you."
We each inhaled deeply, for the last time before he did it. We exhaled in unison as he ducked his head down to my neck hesitantly, and snapped down hard. The fire started immediately. I heard an ear shattering scream and was beyond shocked to realize it was mine. "Edward, stay," was the last bit of understandable language I was able to get out. More and more of my body was absorbed in the flame. I screamed again, this time louder and in more pain. I saw Edward's pained, worried face and Carlisle running towards me with Alice before I was completely succumb to the dark, smoldering pain.
All I could see were flames, in every direction. No matter where I turned, they were there. Burning my neck, my chest, my face, my everything. I heard more screaming, and it wouldn't go away. I felt a cool hand stroking my cheek, but it was nowhere near enough to get rid of the fire. I tried my best to think about Edward. My perfect, angelic Edward. What it would be like to spend eternity with him. All those amazing kisses we had. But no matter what, I was distracted by the flames. "How long has it been?" I asked myself. It had to have been a day, at least. Every cell in my body was ablaze. I couldn't stop it. I tried running through the blackness and the flames, but whenever I turned, I encountered more flames than before. The screaming continued, louder and louder until my entire mind was on the burning and the screaming. Nothing could distract me. Nothing else would even cross my mind. I couldn't move. I was frozen by the agonizing pain.
Slowly, very slowly, the pain came to a stop. It was still burning, but I was able to distract myself again. The screaming quieted slightly, and I was able to think about Edward. His hair. His skin. His cold, hard lips touching mine, mine so desperately wishing for more passion, his too, but his held a reluctance mine had no need for, a reluctance so that he wouldn't accidentally hurt me. I relived it as the fire came to a halt. I could still the flames, but they were shrinking. Now there was smoke, clouding everything around me. I thought I could vaguely hear Edward's voice, but it was too low for what I could normally hear. "I must be having hallucinations," I thought.
"Carlisle, it's been five days already, are you sure she's all right?" The worry was clear in his voice.
I was finally able to focus when the fire flared up again. Far worse than before. I screamed in agony for the last time, and then everything was clear.

On my 35th birthday I decided to CHANGE. I was tired of being tired. Tired of being asked when my baby was due. Mad at myself for gaining over 50 pounds in two years. I want to be on this beautiful earth for many more years.. I want to CELEBRATE LIFE. Then something happened. The tomorrow I always say that I will start.. actually came.
One foot in front of the other... I'll run three mail boxes then walk two.... I will run to the light post and walk. That is how this addiction started. What started as cheap exercise and a way to get healthy has become something that I love. Somedays it seem impossible. Somedays it is effortless.
For years I have said this year I will run a 5k. But never in my wildest dreams would this girl be running a Quarter marathon and placing in the top half. For once in a long time I can say I AM PROUD OF MYSELF.

Personalized Tea/Coffee Mug Tutorial
Today I'm going to share with you a super cute and easy gift idea.
Browsing Michaels armed with a 50% off coupon I found these blank photo mugs. They were $10.00 but my coupon made them $5.00. I have made a couple of trips this week :) The wheels began to turn... Then I spotted Amy Butler paper... SQUEAL!!!! Amy Butler is truly my favorite fabric designer and now this! Obviously this has been in the store a while because when I went to check out the Butler paper pack rang up $3.99! SHOCKING! I'm not a scrapbooker so I'm not familiar with paper.. But I'm familiar with the brand and know I got a smokin' deal. I right then decided that this paper was meant for this cup... Project problem solved. I came up with a Personalized Coffee/Tea mug. A couple of my girl friends have birthdays soon and they would drool over this paper... These mugs will make PERFECT gifts for them! Here is how I made them........
First find a good quality travel mug. This one is a Michaels brand mug. It feels nice and heavy and seals up nice and tight. I'm sure you can find these at about any craft supply store.
Unscrew your cup and clean it. Then remove the fake family photo that was in the cup. Trace it on the back side of your paper. I use a pencil so I don't have any pen marks on my paper.
Slip the paper you just cut out inside the cup and make sure it fits perfect.
This mug would be pretty if I just stopped right here! But decorate and personalize it I must.
I used my Silhouette SD to cut a frame and my name from the coordinating {yes, I bought one for myself too. I love it that much} papers. If you do not have a die cut machine you can always just cut out a shape with scalloped edged scissors and use letter stickers for the name. Have you seen the stickers at Hobby Lobby? SO many possibilities. It will be just as cute, I promise!
Glue your Frame and all your pieces to your main paper directly in the middle.
This is somewhat how your paper should look like too. Easy peasy right? Roll your paper back up inside the cup, slip the cup back together and screw it together tight like Popeye the Sailorman and ENJOY! I'm making a few other little things to go along with the cups but I'm really excited about giving these away to my girls!

Chalk Board Easter Bucket
I'm going to share with you how to make these beautiful Chalkboard Personalized Easter Buckets. The cool thing about these is that they can be used long after easter. Just turn the rabbit side around and place it on a shelf so you can use the chalkboard to label what is inside. I truly love these and think I will make a few more for storage in my daughter's room.
Here is how they are made...
Supplies Needed:
Metal Bucket
Paint Brush
Painters Tape
Mod Podge, Matte
Scrap Book Paper
Fine Sand Paper
I found these metal buckets at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. Most craft stores sell metal buckets unpainted. {If yours is unpainted you can just spray paint it the color of your chioce.}
First you need to prep your bucket for the Chalkboard paint.
Tape off a rectangle with your painters tape.
I used the sticker decal that came on the bucket as my guide to tape off the area for the chalk board.
Lightly sand your area so the paint will adhere . Dust off.
Apply as many coats of the paint as needed to cover the area completely...It took me 5!
Carefully remove painters tape.
Let dry overnight.
Time to make your Rabbit.
Cut out an oval and a rabbit silhouette. Here is the rabbit silhouette I used. It is a free download.
For the name you can cut it with your die cutter or add letter stickers.
Start Mod Podging the decal together. Mod Podge rabbit to oval then Mod Podge name to the Rabbit again, Mod Podge over the entire decal now to seal it all together.
Then, add a layer of Mod Podge to the bucket. It is okay that the Mod Podge is not perfect. It cleans off easily with a damp rag. {How many times can I say Mod Podge??}
Place your decal on the bucket and smooth it out making sure it totally adheres to the bucket bubble free. Clean off any mess that is on the bucket. Let dry a few hours.
TA-DA!!!!!! WOW these turned out GORGEOUS!
Hoppy Easter!

On Christmas Eve our Elf (Elfis) is going to fly back to the North Pole for his final report to Santa. When the kids tell him goodbye for the last time, our elf will have a special clue scavenger hunt game for them to play. At the end of the game there is a special gift that he has left behind for them. My husband will handwrite each of the clues on Official North Pole note cards and place them in envelopes.

Peppermint: The Natural Cure For A Headache!
Now that we have talked about lavender as a great source to be using whenever you have a headache, let's talk about one more herb that is really, really going to help you. That is peppermint. This little mint can do a hell of a lot of wonders of your head and also for your stomach. Peppermint is something that can be ingested in many different ways as well.
For example, the candy is a fantastic way to not only get the smell of peppermint up your nose, but it will also help when you are looking to keep your mind busy. Another way is peppermint tea. This is a great way to get your peppermint when you have a stomach-ache, as it is something hot and it will help you in the long run.
There you have it! Two different herbs that can both help you with your headaches and migraines; no more painkillers for you!

Through a roundabout series of events, I found myself reading the letter that inspired Abraham Lincoln to grow a beard -- you know the one, that an 11 year old girl (Grace Bedell from Westfield NY, not far from Erie PA) wrote -- and was struck by two things in the first two sentences:
My father has just home from the fair and brought home your picture and Mr. Hamlin's. I am a little girl only eleven years old, but want you should be President of the United States very much. (Italics mine)What is going on here? Are these archaisms? Mistakes? Most of the ghits for "has just home" refer to this letter, which leads me to suspect she accidentally left out the word "come" or "returned." Oddly enough, though, this too could be explained as a calque from Yiddish, if it weren't an absurd possibility.
On the other hand...
Googling "I want you should" reveals that this construction existed in English long before contact with Yiddish. Weird, no? Still, though, I'm convinced its current widespread use is due to Yiddish.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to join you here this evening, at our treasured War Memorial.
It has been a special and sacred place for me since I first visited when I was at university.
There's a constancy and assurance in its presence, its handsome bearing its gentle, compassionate touch.
This ageless shrine holds our nation's memory of human endeavour and sacrifice in war.
Across generations, meticulous custodians have unwrapped the Memorial's annals for all Australians
to see: you've urged us to come in close, helped us make sense of them, and been sure to place them, at the heart of our country's history and maturing.
This Hall of Valour is a natural and timely progression of this undertaking.
In the regathering and reframing, the demeanour and arrangement of this space seek to reflect our experience of contemporary life, and our anticipation of where it may take us next.
Friends, the Victoria Cross, the highest acknowledgement of bravery in battle, was instituted more than 150 years ago by Queen Victoria.
In 1956, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, spoke at a parade in London's Hyde Park to mark the centenary of that occasion.
In recalling that troops from throughout the Commonwealth had received the supreme award, she said:
They were men of all ranks, and they came from all walks of life.
They were different colours and creeds.
They fought in many lands and with many different weapons.
But their stories are linked by a golden thread of extraordinary courage.
Each man…gave the best that a man can give and all too many gave their lives.
Among them, of course, were Australian men.
A select number had received the revered imperial honour before 1991, whereupon we instituted our own – the Victoria Cross for Australia – now the highest award for valour that we, as a nation, can bestow.
In a continuing tradition we refer to both as "the Victoria Cross" – its rigorous underpinnings preserved, upheld and enforced.
There are 98 Australians who have received the Victoria Cross, and their actions span more than a century.
The first awards were to 6 members of the colonial forces in the Boer War.
Following that, there were 66 awards during the First World War; 20 in the Second World War; and 4 in the Vietnam War.
In the last couple of years, I've been privileged in this role to present the Victoria Cross for Australia
to Corporal Mark Donaldson and Corporal Benjamin Roberts-Smith for their conspicuous acts of gallantry in action, in circumstances of extreme peril in Afghanistan.
These investitures have a profound and potent mood.
We search for words to acknowledge deeds and sentiments that dwell far beyond our familiar realm.
Silence and stillness are vested with a rare gravity.
And somehow the weight of the fine, distinguished medal, its gun metal and tightly woven crimson ribbon, its unqualified declaration: "For Valour" seem to best enunciate the extraordinary actions and character that it honours.
Vital leadership in times of mortal danger.
Rescuing comrades at the risk of one's own life.
Standing fast against overwhelming odds.
It is right that we recognise these transcendent human qualities; that we draw courage and inspiration from them; that they are our touchstones and our source of eternal hope.
Ladies and gentlemen, Captain Neville Howse was the first Australian to receive the Victoria Cross in South Africa in 1900.
His citation is succinct: "Captain Howse went out under a very heavy cross-fire and picked up a wounded man and carried him to a place of safety".
He went on in later years to extend his reputation and achieve high rank.
In the First World War, Lance Corporal Albert Jacka earned the supreme award on Gallipoli.
It was the first to an Australian in that war, and made Jacka a national hero.
His status was later affirmed when he gained the Military Cross and Bar as an officer in France, for acts considered by some to have equalled that for which he received the Victoria Cross.
Lieutenant Tom "Diver" Derrick was seen by many as the embodiment of all the best characteristics attributed to the Australian digger.
Tough, with a larrikin grin, he was also intelligent and thoughtful.
He gained the Victoria Cross in New Guinea in 1943.
The news of his death the following year devastated those in the ranks, and across the broader nation.
Within his division it seemed, as one soldier said, that "the whole war stopped".
In 1942, returning from a bombing operation to Italy, Pilot Officer Rawdon Middleton, who was badly wounded, flew his crippled bomber back to Britain and strained to allow his crew time to escape, before he crashed into the sea and was killed.
One of those he saved later wrote that his act was "an example of the unwritten law ... that a crew always endeavours to get back…and…that a pilot must think of his crew before himself".
In Vietnam, Warrant Officer Kevin "Dasher" Wheatley was killed after refusing to leave a mortally wounded mate.
His citation concludes: "His acts of heroism, determination and unflinching loyalty in the face of the enemy will always stand as examples of the true meaning of valour."
Friends, until recently, many people had no memory of a Victoria Cross being awarded to an Australian in their lifetime.
There had been no further awards since Keith Payne was awarded for his service as a warrant officer in Vietnam in 1969.
And it would be 40 years before the first award of the new Victoria Cross for Australia: to Corporal Donaldson, in 2009, and Corporal Roberts-Smith, only last month.
These 3 heroes are with us this evening.
They stay with us as strong, calm, exceptional forces of sensibility, reason, resilience, and courage.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am privileged once more to honour all that they exemplify in declaring open this magnificent and precious Hall of Valour at our Australian War Memorial.

Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:VNO) Chairman and Chief Executive Steven Roth resigned on Friday from the board of department store chain J.C. Penney Co Inc (NYSE:JCP), the company said in a regulatory filing.
Continue Reading Below
Vornado, which owns 6.1 percent of Penney shares, said at an investor conference earlier this week that it planned to sell all of its 13.4 million Penney shares "in the not too distant future."
Penney shares ended 0.6 percent lower at $13.82 on Friday.
Vornado, the owner of office buildings and retail properties chiefly in New York and Washington, took a 9.9 percent stake in Penney at the same time that activist investor Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management bought a 16.5 percent stake in 2010 to push for big changes at the company.
Among Ackman's hoped-for changes were a reinvention of the retailer so that it would appeal more to younger shoppers. Ackman and Roth each got a seat on the board in early 2011.
But the Penney transformation, engineered by Ron Johnson, a chief executive hand-picked by Ackman, failed, and led to a 25 percent sales decline last year.
Vornado sold nearly half of its shares in Penney earlier this year, while Ackman last month sold his entire stake.
Penney representatives did not immediately return a request for comment on possible plans for the board to replace Roth.

"This album is my heart on my sleeve for anyone to hear," James Ethan Clark said of his new release, "Southern Hotel."
"This album is my heart on my sleeve for anyone to hear," James Ethan Clark said of his new release, "Southern Hotel."
The Wilmington performer and former "American Idol" contestant recorded the album in Nashville last year. It boasts a '70s sensibility, ranging from warm-hearted alt-country to songs that dig deep into rock 'n' roll.
"Southern Hotel" was released April 2. On Friday, Clark performs with Sean Thomas Gerard and Mike Blair & The Stonewalls at the Brooklyn Arts Center for his album release party.
"For so long people had their ideas about me. Most people thought I was just some kid that played music and wanted fame," Clark said. "They didn't know my heart."
"Southern Hotel" focuses on living and loving and the pains of growing up and learning. It paints a story of a life both fun and difficult, with songs that are emotionally relatable. "Stories" cuts the deepest, a heartfelt, country stroll of a tune wrapped in wistful pedal steel. Clark calls it the closest to his heart.
"The moon was my sun," he sings. "I'd wake up at three in the afternoon and then I'd have my fun." It's about duality – trying to live right while spending time with scarred, perhaps broken people, going to sleep with the sun coming up and nights around people drinking to feel no pain. At the heart are those memories, enhanced by the pedal steel driving the scenery home.
"(It's) an instrument I've loved for years," Clark said. "I do not think there is a more beautiful sound than those swells that thing makes. It brings chills to my bones."
The album oscillates from tender folk rock to scorchers that recall the crush of Crazy Horse. The result feels like Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, the highs and the lows punctuated with immediacy by recording them live in the studio with scant overdubs.
"We wanted to do it old-school," Clark said. "We wanted the feel of connection and true, real vibes. We did not enter the studio trying to emulate any certain sound … I've always made it a point to sound like 'me.'?"
Clark takes poetic, introspective songs like "Seattleville" or "Flowers Die at Night" and creates something intimate. On bar burners like "God Knows When" Clark has fun turning up the heat. It's a gritty hip-shaker tailor-made for playing live.
"Anna Mae" is a song dedicated to his grandmother, who Clark calls his biggest influence, musically and personally. An Avon lady during the day and choir director at night for 23 years, she performed in a gospel group called The Kindred Trio. He has the group's two recordings on vinyl.
"I still listen to them and weep. Her voice was so beautiful," Clark said. "When I sing 'Your back is broken and your knees are bruised,' it's because I can remember her on her hands and knees, in prayer every single night before she slept. I may not be the best example, but through me and my family, her life endures. I've made this record, not to prove myself or make money, but to make her proud."

The International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA) released its Fertilizer Outlook 2009-2013. The outlook report suggests that, after the sudden fall in demand during the 2008-2009 fertilizer campaign, a rebound may be expected for the 2009-2010 campaign.
The world fertilizer markets experienced a period of extreme volatility in 2008. The combination of a global economic downturn and a deepening credit crisis in most leading fertilizer-consuming countries dampened short-term prospects. Fertilizer sales and import demand collapsed through the fourth quarter of 2008. World fertilizer consumption is estimated down 5.1 percent, from 168.1 million tonnes (Mt) of nutrients in 2007-2008 to 159.6 Mt in 2008-2009. Consumption of nitrogen fertilizers is seen contracting by 1.6 percent, while demand for phosphate fertilizers and potash would decline more sharply, by some 7 percent and 14 percent, respectively.
Because of lack of confidence and limited access to credit, farmers, in a number of countries, either deferred their purchases of inputs, including fertilizers, or chose to reduce application rates. The beginning of 2009 was dim for the fertilizer industry with disappointing sales prospects and weak demand recovery during the year.
However, IFA's outlook reports show that the market conditions could be improving steadily for the 2009-2010 campaign because of the stable growth trends that have been experienced so far in the agricultural sector. Agricultural commodity prices are expected to remain attractive, thus encouraging farmers to increase crop production. In its baseline scenario, IFA estimates that the economic crisis can be translated in one to three years of lost growth in fertilizer demand.
Nevertheless, a gradual rebound might be felt as early as in the next six months. For the 2009-2010 campaign, a growth of 3.6 percent, representing 165.4 Mt of nutrients, is envisioned. In 2013-2014, a growth rate of 2.3 percent per annum (over the average of 2006-2007 to 2008-2009) could be anticipated, representing up to 187 Mt of nutrients by the end of that period.
IFA also forecasts a potential fertilizer supply surplus for the years to come. Between 2000 and 2007, the world fertilizer industry increased its overall operating rates for the three main nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). By the end of 2007, the industry was running at close to its maximum effective capacity. This explains the very tight market conditions that prevailed during the first half of 2008.
If such high demand had continued through the second half of 2008, a shortage of potash, phosphate and urea supply might have occurred. However, following the financial and economic crisis, a number of companies decreased dramatically their operating rates by temporarily closing down facilities. In the short term, the depressed demand for fertilizer and, in the long run, new projects coming into production in several countries are the main factors supporting the potential surplus argument, in particular in the potash and phosphate sectors.

Sheriff's deputy Jake Russell had no idea what he was in for when he ran into Livy--literally--while chasing down a pickpocket. With a rash of robberies and a growing number of street kids in town--as well as a loan on the family farm that needs to be paid off--Jake doesn't have time to pursue a girl. Still, he can't seem to get Livy out of his mind. He wants to get to know her better . . . but Livy isn't willing to trust any man, especially not a lawman.
Interwoven throughout is a group of street kids arrested in Chicago and sold as child labor. Leading this band of ragamuffins is young Luke, a scared, determined orphan intent on rescuing his little brother at any cost.
Jake and Livy's story started out as a novella proposal for Tyndale House Publishers several years ago, but didn't make the cut. In hindsight, I think we can all agree that this was a good thing! I liked the premise so much that I revised it, working with the story until I had a full-length novel.
As a novella, Stealing Jake was a light-hearted love story of a former pickpocket and sheriff's deputy sparring with (and against!) each other and ultimately falling in love. But as I built it into a full-length novel, it evolved into so much more. The gritty world of coal mining worked its way into Jake's past, and the even grittier world of street kids in the late 1800's into Livy's traumatic past. And along the way, a kid named Luke took hold of my heart and wouldn't let go.
The manuscript garnered several awards, and the attention of a few editors, but something was lacking. I knew what it was: Luke's story. But I was afraid I couldn't weave scenes in from his point-of-view in seamlessly. But his story, and that of his friends, demanded to be told. Finally, one night at the ACFW conference in 2008, romantic suspense author Robin Caroll helped me brainstorm ways to weave Luke into the story. I think she (Robin) was tired of hearing me gripe about it!
I loved the results, and the revised version went on to final in the 2011 RWA Golden Heart contest before being contracted by Tyndale House as one of the launch books for their Digital First Initiative program.
To celebrate the release of Stealing Jake, I'm giving away a Kindle. Deadline to enter the contest is September 30th. Go to my website for more information.
You can read more about the book on Amazon or CBD.
Award-winning author Pam Hillman writes inspirational fiction set in the turbulent times of the American West and the Gilded Age. Her debut book, Stealing Jake, won the American Christian Fiction Writer's Genesis contest and was a finalist in Romance Writers of America's prestigious Golden Heart contest. She lives in Mississippi with her husband and family.

The company began June 10, 1847, with the first edition of the Chicago Tribune. In 1924, when radio intimidated most newspaper publishers, Tribune founder Col. Robert McCormick bought a radio station and turned it into WGN, call letters for the World's Greatest Newspaper. In 1948, when TV frightened newspaper and radio people, the colonel embraced that new technology, too, and started WGN-TV. In 1993, Tribune Co. started CLTV, Chicago's 24-hour local news channel. In 2014, Tribune Co. became Tribune Media, which combines broadcast, distribution and related digital businesses, and spun off Tribune Publishing, which encompasses the print and corresponding digital news operations.

Two Massachusetts Generals on Their Black Troops
In October 1775, some members of the Continental Congress were criticizing the quality of American troops besieging Boston. Among their complaints was the number of black soldiers. Most of the army then came from Massachusetts, so John Adams took those remarks personally. (Of course, he took a lot personally.)
Adams sent similar letters to the two brigadier generals from Massachusetts, William Heath (shown here) and John Thomas, asking for their frank assessments of the troops:
It is represented in this city by some persons, and it makes an unfriendly impression upon some minds, that in the Massachusetts Regiments, there are great numbers of boys, old men, and negroes, such as are unsuitable for the service, and therefore that the Continent is paying for a much greater number of men than are fit for active or any service. I have endeavoured to the utmost of my power to rectify these mistakes, as I take them to be, and I hope with some success, but still the impression is not quite removed.The riflemen were from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland.
I would beg the favour of you therefore, Sir, to inform me whether there is any truth at all in this report, or not. It is natural to suppose there are some young men and some old ones and some negroes in the service, but I should be glad to know if there are more of these in proportion in the Massachusetts Regiments, than in those of Connecticutt, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, or even among the Riflemen.
Gen. Thomas wrote back:
I am Sorrey to hear that any Prejudice Should take Place in any of the Southern Colony's with Respect to the Troops Raised in this; I am Certain the Insinuations you Mention are Injurious; if we Consider with what Precipitation we were Obliged to Collect an Army. The Regiments at Roxbury, the Privates are Equal to any that I Served with Last war, very few Old men, and in the Ranks very few boys, Our Fifers are many of them boys, we have Some Negros, but I Look on them in General Equally Servicable with other men, for Fatigue and in Action; many of them have Proved themselves brave…And Heath said:
Rhode Island has a Number of Negroes and Indians, Connecticut has fewer Negroes but a number of Indians. The New Hampshire Regiments have less of Both. The men from Connecticut I think in General are rather stouter than those of either of the other Colonies, But the Troops of our Colony are Robust, Agile, and as fine Fellows in General as I ever would wish to see in the Field.While writing favorably about black soldiers, Thomas was still a slaveholder. His servant Oakley was in the American camp, trying to look after the general's son, during the final advance onto the Dorchester peninsula.
Heath, though not saying anything bad about non-white soldiers in 1775, was clear about his racism two years later when he wrote that black soldiers were "generally able bodied, but for my own part I must confess I am neaver pleased to see them mixed with white men."
TOMORROW: Turning consensus into army policy.

After you replace or repair a faulted component on a managed device, the Oracle ILOM Fault Manager automatically detects the repair or replacement and clear the associated fault message from the system. However, if the replaced or repaired hardware component is not associated with a FRU serial number, the corrective service action is not detected by Oracle ILOM, nor are the fault event messages associated with the undetected repair cleared from the Oracle ILOM interfaces.
Note - The Oracle ILOM Fault Manager is unable to detect repair or replacement service actions for Oracle blade chassis customer-replaceable units (CRUs).
With the permission of Oracle Services personnel, a customer can issue fmadm repair commands from the Oracle ILOM Fault Management Shell to manually clear fault messages for undetected repair or replacement service actions. For more information, see these topics:

Every year since 1999, a worldwide panel of automotive journalists has been organized by Engine Technology International magazine, part of UKIP Media & Events. Their task is not an easy one: identify the best engines in the world, split into a dozen different categories. Since what defines a "great" engine differs by engineering goals, the categories are key to the awards. For 2012, the categories were New Engine; Green Engine; Performance Engine; Sub 1.0-Liter; 1.0-1.4-Liter; 1.4-1.8-Liter; 1.8-2.0-Liter; 2.0-2.5-Liter; 2.5-3.0-Liter, 3.0-4.0-Liter and above 4-Liter. There's also a final and somewhat more subjective category, simply called the International Engine of the Year. As with any other contest, we suppose, there can only be one grand prize winner. For 2012, the International Engine of the Year is Ford's 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost model, as used in non-U.S. versions of the Ford Focus. The baby EcoBoost engine also took home top honors in the New Engine and Sub 1.0-Liter categories, since its actual displacement is 999 cubic centimeters, one cc shy of the full liter. Ferrari took home Performance Engine of the Year honors for the 4.5-liter V-8 used in the 458 Italia and 458 Italia Spider. This marks the engine's second win in two years, and it also finished first in the Above 4.0-Liter category. BMW added three new awards to its trophy case, picking up wins in the 1.8-2.0-Liter category for its 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder, its 3.0-liter biturbo six cylinder and its 4.0-liter V8 from the current-model M3. We suppose you could lump MINI under the BMW family umbrella, too, and it took home a win in the 1.4-1.8-Liter category with the 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder used in MINI's S models. The same engine also sees duty in a wide variety of Peugeot automobiles, obviously sporting a different logo on the cover. The Volkswagen Group didn't go home empty-handed, as both VW and Audi took home awards. Volkswagen won for its 1.4-liter TSI Twincharger engine, as used in multiple European models. Audi won for its 2.5-liter TFSI turbo, as used in TT-RS and RS3 Sportback models. Finally, even the Chevrolet Volt and Opel Ampera received recognition, with General Motors taking home top honors in the Green Engine category for the 1.4-liter range extender found beneath the hood of the Volt and Ampera.

Now that Andy Krull from Mother Jones has let the cat out of the bag about the supposedly "grassroots" Tea Party group FreedomWorks' true nature as a front for the Koch Brothers and other rich people, disaffected former chairman, Dick Armey, is ready to spill the beans. To further provoke FreedomWorks' President Matt Kibbe — his ex-rival and non-victim of his failed coup d'état — Tricky Dick Armey dished the dirt to Joe Strupp and the über-liberal publication, Media Matters. Apparently, a $1 million bribe is enough to get a "pundit for the people" like Glenn Beck to say nice things about you, but $8 million isn't enough to get a duplicitous back-stabber like Dick Armey to shut up. (AI readers may recall that Armey jumped ship from FreedomWorks with an $8 million golden parachute).
In his accessible, incisive, and humorous videocast, Cenk Uygur from The Young Turks highlights a few of Armey's damaging facts, (which are backed up by the internal documents leaked to Mother Jones):
– FreedomWorks had a line-item in their budget for "embedded media programs" — or, bribing right-wing radio pundits like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh with large amounts of money to give them good publicity and to defend the interests of their deep-pocketed donors.
– FreedomWorks paid Glenn Beck over $1 million (actually $726,060 in 2011 and $859,099 in 2012, according to Strupp's report) explaining that "The arrangement was simply [that] FreedomWorks paid Glenn Beck money and Glenn Beck said nice things about FreedomWorks on the air." (Poor Rush Limbaugh, he "only" got $433,484)
– Armey elaborated, "I saw that a million dollars went to Beck this past year, that was the annual expenditure," and also told Strupp that "I put it down as basically paid advertising for FreedomWorks by Beck." Apparently, Armey also said it was a big mistake.
– Uygur further explains, "But it's not just the money they give them flat-out in cash … the organization plans to continue its financial support for Glenn Beck's media enterprise, including sharing a TV studio with, and leasing office space to the Washington bureau of TheBlaze, Beck's website and TV network."
Uygur mentions how this recent news sheds light on what he and his fellow Young Turks newscasters had recently speculated about on-air:
"Where in the world is Glenn Beck getting all this money to run this giant network, when they can't possibly be making that much money in ad sales or membership fees or anything like that?" After all, these guys know what it's like to run an independent media network on a shoe string. "Turns out he's getting it from these right wing donors, to do their bidding for them!" Uygur also marvels at how, "Everything they [conservative pundits] say about liberals [getting money from rich progressives like George Soros], THEY do themselves!"
And the plot sickens. According to Elspeth Reeve's take on Armey's revelations for The Atlantic Wire, FreedomWorks' payouts to Beck and Limbaugh proved to be a lousy investment. Armey said that Beck's "nice words" were originally "only" supposed to cost $250,000 per year, and that Beck's and Limbaugh's efforts accomplished little towards attracting activists and donations:
"If we were using those resources to recruit activists and inform activists and to encourage and enthuse activists, that's one thing … If we are using these things to raise money; one, it's a damned expensive way to raise money; and two, it makes raising money an end unto itself, not an instrumental activity to support the foundation work that our organization does …"
And, just as we're sort of starting to maybe kind of LIKE Armey for his delectable acts of treachery, he makes a lame comparison between FreedomWorks' financial practices and those of the U.S. Government:
"It is like federal budgeting… We count the receipts we get from people who have sent in money, and we, meaning they, I am not a part of it anymore, do not count what the funds that are laying out are. They don't say, we paid Beck a million dollars and we had this program where we raised $300,000, you had a net cost of $600,000, or whatever the numbers are."
To paraphrase AI Editor Wendy Gittleson's warning about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Armey may have done some good, but let's not invite him to the party.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
An Israeli Muslim Arab has written to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressing that if the Jewish state truly wants peace, it must remove from power the terror groups that current hold sway over the Palestinian population, and instead deal directly with average Arabs who just want to live quietly.
In a post on his Facebook page, Ali Shaban, who volunteered for combat service in the IDF and continues to do reserve duty to this day, urged Netanyahu to "act now, do not waver or fear. The Palestinians understand only force, and if you do not attack now, then you and me and all Israelis will pay a dear price."
Like many Israelis, Shaban wondered, "Why are you [Netanyahu] waiting? Are you waiting for more deaths? Are you waiting until the missiles hit Tel Aviv? Are you waiting for approval from Obama?"
This Muslim's recommendation? "Conquer Gaza. Conquer the West Bank. Overthrow Hamas and [Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas'] Fatah. Establish and support a new leadership for the Palestinian people, a leadership that will seek peace and a better life for us all."
On Tuesday, Shaban was invited to appear on the popular Channel 10 morning show "Orly & Guy," where he was asked about his unusual position.
In truth, Shaban corrected his interviewers, a great many Arabs think like him.
During his army service, Shaban said he has "met countless Palestinians at checkpoints and elsewhere in the disputed territories that told me they support peace and are fed up with the situation. But, they are afraid to speak because anyone who voices such an opinion is immediately labeled a traitor…and will be publicly executed."
When told by Orly that his letter sounds as though it were written by an extremist Jew, Shaban responded:
"When I say that they only understand force, I am talking about the terror groups that are writing the rules of engagement. I do not know of a terror group that has an agenda of peace. They want to harm Jews, to destroy the State of Israel. Their eyes see only blood. …It is not possible to make peace with terror groups."

DxOMark image quality testing protocols for lenses and sensors
Testing protocol for color sensitivity
Color sensitivity measurement requires knowing the RAW response of the sensor to a selection of known colors.
For this purpose, we shoot an image of a color target with perfectly-known reflectance spectra using a controlled and spectrally-measured illuminant.
We perform all color measurements using a dedicated Kyoritsu color light box, which provides uniform lighting over a surface about 50cm wide. The device enables to switch between several normalized illuminants (e.g., A, D65, CW, etc.).
The target is a Gretag Macbeth ColorChecker composed of 18 uniform color patches and 6 gray level patches. For each illuminant, we measure the reflection spectra of the patches with a spectrometer, and then we measure the RAW image values.
The uniformity of the illuminance is below 7% (checked with a lux-meter).

For the cheesy hash browns: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat the butter and canola oil in a cast iron pan over high heat until the butter begins to sizzle. Add the onion and cook until soft and slightly caramelized.
While the onions are caramelizing, put the potatoes in a large pot of cold, salted water, bring to a boil and cook until nearly tender, but a knife inserted into the centers still meets a little resistance, 10 to 12 minutes, or cooked through. Drain well and smash with the back of a wooden spoon.
Add the potatoes to the onions packing it evenly with the back of a metal spatula to form a cake. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Invert a plate or baking sheet without sides over the pan and carefully invert the potato cake onto it. Carefully slide the potato cake back into the skillet and cook until the bottom is just set and pale golden brown, about 4 minutes. Spread the cheese on top, cover the pan with a lid and let melt. Transfer the potato cake to a cutting board cheese-side up and cut into wedges. Garnish with chopped fresh chives.
For the roasted tomatoes with bread crumbs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the tomato halves in a lightly buttered baking dish, cut-side up, drizzle with olive oil , honey, and sprinkle with panko bread crumbs and paprika. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper and roast for 20 minutes. Remove the tomatoes from the oven and sprinkle with parsley. Drizzle with olive oil.
For the sauteed mushrooms: Heat the canola oil into a saute pan and saute the mushrooms until soft. Add the fresh thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper.
For serving: Arrange on a platter the fried eggs, cooked bacon, cooked sausage, cheesy hash browns, roasted tomatoes, sauteed mushrooms, toasted brown soda bread and butter.

Here is the long awaited pattern for my Swiffer Cozy, winner of an honorable mention in the Whiplash Competition Color theme.
The ballband pattern is a classic dishcloth pattern printed on the back of Peaches & Creme worsted weight cotton yarn. It's been popularized by the 2006 book Mason-Dixon Knitting by Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne. This swiffer cover was directly inspired by Mason Dixon and their use of color and levity for ordinary household items like dishclothes.
For the swiffer cover, I recommend a superwash wool. You can use cotton, but I find that the cotton tends to get a little tacky on the floor, while the wool glides right over. My wool cozy has held up much better than the organic cotton version, and is my favorite for swiffering.
- worsted weight machine washable wool or cotton yarn, assorted colors, this doesn't use a lot of yarn so it's a great way to use up leftovers or stash yarns.
- #7 16" circular needles
- 4 buttons
- needle for sewing in ends and sewing on buttons
Cast on and follow the pattern for ballband dishcloth. You have a copy of Mason-Dixon Knitting, right? Or get the pattern off the label of a ball of Peaches & Creme. It also can be found here under Textured Slip Stitch.
Knit rows 1-12 a total of three times. You should have 6 bands of the pattern and that's just enough to cover the base of your swiffer.
Knit one row
Purl one row
knit one row
start tabs:
change color if you'd like. knit 15 stitches. bind off next 15 sts. knit 15.
work these 15 sts in garter stitch for 16 rows.
buttonhole row:
Knit 3 sts. K2tog, yo,k 5, K2tog, yo, knit 3 sts.
knit three rows and bind off those 15 sts.
there should still be 15 sts on your needle for the other tab. work 16 rows in garter stitch. repeat buttonhole row instructions. knit three rows and bind off.
