Multi Pendants Complete
Multi-light pendants are a contemporary alternative to chandeliers, bringing brilliant modern style to a variety of settings. Multi-light pendants and suspensions typically include three or more mini pendants attached to a single canopy in linear, square, rectangular or circular formations. Hang these clustered pendants at staggered heights for visual impact, or hang them all at the same height for a statement in symmetry.
Our expertly crafted pendant lighting is designed to make your home feel complete. Mini pendant lighting sets are a beautiful addition to kitchens, foyers, dining rooms and more. On the hunt for kitchen island lights? Multi-light pendants are a fashionable choice for ambient illumination. Hanging a cluster of modern mini pendant lights above the dining room table is a great choice, too. In either kitchens or dining rooms, keep the size and shape of the island or table in mind for a clean, balanced design. Square and circular pendant clusters do well with small islands, as well as square or round tables. Longer islands and rectangular tables often call for linear or rectangular pendant formations.
Available in a variety of styles to suit any interior, our multi-light pendants speak to a number of design movements, ranging from Art Deco lights to the ultra-minimal and modern. Our collection of multi-pendant lights also features a number of materials, including blown glass pendants for a clean and elegant look. We also offer a variety of light sources, including incandescent, halogen, and LED multi-light pendants.
For similar fixtures that may also work well in place of multi-light pendants, browse our selection of linear suspension lights, chandeliers, and individual pendants from brands like Tom Dixon, Currey and Company, Flos, Jonathan Adler and more.

Fidelity Institutional announced Monday that it is leveraging relationships with Morningstar, Goldman Sachs and CAIS to bring a platform of alternative investments to advisors.
The new platform will provide access to products like hedge funds, private equity funds and '40 Act mutual funds. It will also provide a list of alternative investment funds from third-party sponsors with reduced custody fees.
Through its relationship with Morningstar, Fidelity will provide advisors with research and education on alternative products. The education center will offer analyst insights on how to incorporate alternatives in a client's portfolio and when is the best time to do so. Market research and trends are also available, as is a list of alternative mutual funds, generated by Morningstar Associates.
Goldman Sachs and CAIS will help offer products and due diligence. CAIS will provide access to hedge funds with reduced minimums, portfolio construction tools and an automated electronic subscription process. Due diligence and monitoring will be provided by Mercer.
Goldman Sachs will also offer access to hedge funds through portfolios of external hedge fund and private equity managers utilizing various alternatives strategies. It will also offer thought leadership on the platform.
Last year, CAIS launched what it calls the first global alternatives exchange, known as CAIS-X, which provides advisors with a platform for conducting due diligence, analysis and trading of alternative investments. The idea is that it will bring private vehicles into the public (advisor) space. With greater interest among advisors of alternatives in recent years, the value is readily apparent; something to which their 10% monthly growth can attest.
Earlier this year, CAIS announced the launch of its capital markets product offering, which includes access to IPO and follow-on offerings as well as structured products. Fidelity and CAIS will introduce the strategic alliance with a nationwide road show and CAIS will also sponsor Fidelity's upcoming 2014 Alternative Investment Forums.

Before that, a few loose ends to tie up.
Scribble, Scribble
Another weird leaf from the sketchbook.
I have been extremely remiss in not mentioning a new blog that I quite like. Celtic Knitter is funny and smart and knits beautiful, creative pieces. He is also the only blogger I know whose profile picture includes a harp.
I always thought it would be so cool to play the harp. The first one I ever saw in person was owned and operated by Miss Seymour, the lady who conducted the first and only orchestra in which I ever played. This harp had flowers carved around the top. Lilies, as I recall. Very pre-Raphaelite.
I was maybe eight or nine, and I was in the violin section. Eighth chair out of eight. I mostly wanted to play the violin because I wanted to own one. Violins make great decorative accents. I used to take mine out of the case and arrange it on my desk in the sunlight, with my handsomest books and a couple of dried flowers, as a vignette.
I was no good at playing it. Screech. The only piece of music suited to my tone would have been the "Duo miaulé" (a duet for two cats) in Ravel's opera L'Enfant et les sortilèges.
I remember thinking it funny that Miss Seymour was very long and skinny and taut-looking, like a harp string. I also remember her nose, which was distinctive. When I went to see The Hours and saw Nicole Kidman's prosthetic, I felt a shock of recognition.
Miss Seymour told us that if we touched the horsehair on our bows that our eyebrows would fall out. I can't recall anything else she ever said. No, not true. She would scream "You are not attending!" at anybody who wasn't looking at her while she was speaking. Of course, I thought she was so freaky looking I couldn't take my eyes off her.
What I mean to say is, do go have a look at Celtic's blog.
Vox Franklini
In the next episode of Cast On, I'll be whining about last-minute knitting and why, for me anyhow, it's definitely a Guy Thing. If you're one of those who took the time (thank you so much) to write and tell me how much you hated my first piece, I can promise you that you'll hate this one even more. I am nothing if not consistent.
Reader Questions
Helen asked for the link to the New Yorker's archival posting of the short story "Brokeback Mountain." As far as I can tell, it has just been taken down. The story was published outside the magazine in an Annie Proulx collection called That Old Ace in the Hole. But it has just been issued by itself, in a slim volume with the film poster on the cover, under its own title. (C bought it for me for Christmas. Yay!)
Marie in Texas wants to know what the other three books were that I threw away after trying to read them (the first being Annie Proulx's The Shipping News).
They were Cry to Heaven by Anne Rice, The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkein, and Rabbit, Run by John Updike.
State of the Ruana
Finished. Pictures will be taken of the garment on the recipient. Unless she throws up on it when she sees it, as happened in my nightmare a few weeks back.

20/20 In Hindsight: The Snellen Eye Chart
Have you ever wondered where that chart with the big E in every eye doctor's office came from?
The famous eye chart is actually called the Snellen Chart. It was named for the 19th-century Dutch ophthalmologist who first developed it.
Glasses Before Eye Charts
Glasses were invented in Italy around 1286, though they were fairly crude. It wasn't until two centuries later that concave and convex lenses were being crafted and sold to customers. From there, it would still be four more centuries before the field of optometry was advanced enough for vendors and eye doctors to realize that not everyone experiences vision problems the same way.
The History Of The Big E Chart
In the mid-19th century, various eye doctors began developing charts to gauge their patients' visual acuity more precisely, and in 1862, Hermann Snellen came up with the chart optometrists everywhere still use today. The chart, called the Snellen Eye Chart, determines how well a patient can see objects twenty feet away compared to the average human eye.
[iframe https://www.youtube.com/embed/MAoDDfBFP5Y?rel=0 620 349]
For small children and people who can't read the letters of our alphabet, a similar chart known as the "Tumbling E" chart (because it depicts rows of capital E's pointing in different directions) is used instead.
The Origin Of 20/20 Vision
Snellen is also the mind behind the concept of "20/20 vision," or the Snellen Ratio eye doctors use to describe how well patients read the chart. Depending on how successfully you can read the lines of letters, you could have unusually good vision like 20/10 (meaning that you can see at twenty feet what most people have to be ten feet away to see), or you could need glasses to correct poor vision.
If you can't even read the big E on top, that means your vision is 20/200 or worse. In other words, you have to be twenty feet away to see what most people can see from 200 feet, which is the point where you'd be considered legally blind.
Limitations Of The Chart
As useful as they are, Snellen's eye chart and ratio are no longer the only factors in determining the right prescription for your glasses. Even though we still use the chart, optometry has evolved in many other ways. Your eyes might need to be tested for how well they perceive contrast, color, depth, and peripheral sight. The Snellen chart also can't test the overall health of your eyes, like pressure, glaucoma risk, and retina shape.
How Many Lines Can You Read?
If it's been a while since your last appointment, it might be a good time to schedule one and have another look at that eye chart—especially now that you know its history.

The U.S. Navy completed the first-ever landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle on an aircraft carrier today. The X-47B Unmanned Combat Air system landed on the deck of the USS George H.W. Bush off the coast of Virginia. The X-47B is an experimental flying wing with a UFO-like profile.
"It isn't very often you get a glimpse of the future," Navy Secretary Ray Mabus says. "Today, those of us aboard USS George H.W. Bush got that chance as we witnessed the X-47B make its first-ever arrested landing aboard an aircraft carrier."
The Navy drone completed its first catapult takeoff from the same ship in May; it also tried carrier-style landings at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, catching a tailhook in a heavy cable in much the same way planes do on a carrier.
"By evolving and integrating new technology like the X-47B and the unmanned aircraft to follow," Mabus says, "carriers will remain relevant throughout their 50-year lifespan."
The X-47B has a wingspan of just over 62 feet, and a range of more than 2,000 nautical miles, the Navy says. It can fly at "high subsonic" speeds, with a maximum altitude above 40,000 feet.
In May, the Navy successfully conducted its "first ever carrier-based catapult launch" of the X-47B from the USS George H.W. Bush:

It is important to install high-quality Portable Appliance Testing equipment to ensure any onsite or offsite portable electrical appliances are safe for use.
Our PAT Testing Company offers first-rate safety management electrical PAT test services in July 2024.
Our professional electrical PAT testing services can help you reduce insurance premiums and ensure compliance with industry risk assessments.
We offer speedy and high-quality PAT testing of electrical equipment to all of our clients nationwide.
If you are a business owner or landlord needing a Corby Safety Management PAT test, get in touch now for an exceptional service.
Electrical PAT testing is the process of assessing the safety of electrical equipment via visual inspection and electrical appliance testing.
Portable appliance testing is crucial for any business owner or landlord, as it is their legal responsibility to ensure portable electronic appliances are safe in their establishment.
A professional PAT tester, like us, will check your electrical appliances to find any faults or hazards, such as insulation resistance, lead polarity, or earth continuity.
There are different types of Portable Appliance Testing (PAT testing) carried out on electrical appliances based on their class and usage. Here are some common types of PAT testing:
Formal Visual Inspection is the most basic type of a PAT test. It involves a thorough visual inspection of the appliance, its power cord, and plug.
The PAT testers checks for any signs of damage, loose connections, or obvious defects.
This test is suitable for Class 1 appliances (appliances with an earth connection) and Class 2 appliances (double-insulated appliances).
An Earth Continuity Test is performed on Class 1 appliances, which have an earth connection.
It checks the integrity of the earth conductor to ensure that it can safely conduct any fault currents away from the appliance.
An Insulation Resistance Test is conducted on both Class 1 and Class 2 appliances.
It measures the insulation resistance between the live conductors and the earth or the metal casing of the appliance.
It helps to identify any potential breakdowns in insulation that could lead to electric shocks.
A Polarity Test checks the correct wiring of the plug, ensuring that the live, neutral, and earth connections are correctly positioned.
An Earth Leakage Test checks for any leakage of current from the appliance to the earth.
It is particularly important for Class 1 appliances as they have an earth connection.
Functional Checks is a type of testing involves verifying that the appliance functions correctly and safely during operation.
For example, for a kettle, this would involve checking that it boils water and switches off automatically when the water reaches the boiling point.
RCD Testing checks the performance of the RCD, a safety device designed to quickly disconnect the electrical supply if it detects a leakage of current.
RCD testing is not always included in a standard PAT test but is important for overall electrical safety.
On average, Corby PAT testing prices range from £50 to £120.
The accurate cost will depend on the following:
For example, businesses based in London may experience higher prices than businesses in West Yorkshire due to travel and congestion fees.
Certain services will be much cheaper, such as the replacement of damaged plugs, which is free, and microwave emission testing, which is around £10.
We can offer same-day certifications; however, this will come at an additional price.
There are many benefits to hiring our professional PAT testing agency to ensure you meet PAT testing requirements and electricity at work regulations. These include:

PAT testing is a process commonly used in commercial settings to check the health & safety status of your electrical appliances.
The purpose of commercial PAT testing is to identify potential faults or defects in portable electrical equipment, such as computers, printers, kettles, power tools, and other appliances that are used in workplaces.
Commercial PAT testing is essential for several reasons:
When hiring a PAT testing service for your commercial premises, it is crucial to choose a reputable and qualified provider.
Look for professionals and the best PAT testing companies who are certified and experienced in carrying out PAT testing so you get an exceptional serivce for your portable appliances.
They should use appropriate testing equipment and provide you with detailed reports on the status of each tested appliance.
Keep in mind that the specific requirements for PAT testing may vary depending on your location and the regulations in your country or region.
Always ensure you are following the appropriate guidelines and recommendations.
Landlords and commercial business owners have PAT testing requirements to maintain electrical safety standards in their properties.
The most effective way to ensure electrical safety is to have Portable Appliance Testing services carried out at least once a year in Corby.
Failure to uphold the safety standards of electrical appliances could result in employees or tenants filing legal action.
It is in your best interest to hire PAT testers for electrical appliance testing every so often to avoid any costly faults.
You will need to consider Portable Appliance Testing if you are the following:
PAT testing is not the responsibility of employees; it is up to the employer to ensure testing services are carried out.
Our Corby PAT test will include the following:
Our excellent reputation and reliable service will prevent danger and ensure the health & safety of your workplace or rental property, call us today and see what we can do for you at great prices.
PAT testing is not currently a legal requirement in the UK or Northern Ireland; however, it will help you follow welfare regulations set by the government.
For example, electricity at work regulations states it is the employer's responsibility to ensure all office equipment is properly maintained and functions to a high standard.
PAT tests in Corby can ensure you are in compliance with the following government-issued electricity at work regulations:
All HMO landlords must conduct a PAT test on any electrical equipment at least once a year.
If you are a private landlord, you are not under any legal obligation to conduct testing on your electrical equipment; however, it is still recommended.
PAT testing should be completed at least once a year for portable electrical equipment, such as extension leads.
However, there is no specific timeframe legally obligated.
The recommended timeframe in which electrical equipment should be tested is based on the frequency and type of appliance.
Please contact one of our professional advisors to learn when to check electrical equipment.
A PAT certificate tends to need renewal after 24 months.
Certain class 1 electrical equipment will need to have their PAT certificate renewed every 48 months; this includes IT devices and stationary appliances.
By law, the maintenance of electrical equipment should be carried out by a competent person, such as an engineer.
If you wish to carry out PAT testing yourself, taking a PAT testing course in Northamptonshire is highly advisable.
However, it will be safer and more cost-effective to hire a firm with years of experience in the maintenance of applicants, such as us, here at PAT Testing Company.
The IEE Code of Practice states a competent PAT tester as having:
If you do not believe you can carry out an in service inspection yourself, we seriously advise hiring a qualified PAT engineer.
PAT testing stands for Portable Appliance Testing.
Our PAT Testing Company works with a range of Corby businesses and customers to ensure they comply with various government guidelines.
Compliance with the law is crucial for landlords and commercial companies, as failure to maintain their equipment could result in costly consequences.
Our team of expert engineers and portable appliance testers carry out thorough inspections for all our customers.

A reStructuredText Primer
Author: | Richard Jones |
Version: | 5801 |
Copyright: | This document has been placed in the public domain. |
The text below contains links that look like "(quickref)". These are relative links that point to the Quick reStructuredText user reference. If these links don't work, please refer to the master quick reference document.
This document is an informal introduction to reStructuredText. The What Next? section below has links to further resources, including a formal reference.
From the outset, let me say that "Structured Text" is probably a bit of a misnomer. It's more like "Relaxed Text" that uses certain consistent patterns. These patterns are interpreted by a HTML converter to produce "Very Structured Text" that can be used by a web browser.
The most basic pattern recognised is a paragraph (quickref). That's a chunk of text that is separated by blank lines (one is enough). Paragraphs must have the same indentation -- that is, line up at their left edge. Paragraphs that start indented will result in indented quote paragraphs. For example:
This is a paragraph. It's quite short. This paragraph will result in an indented block of text, typically used for quoting other text. This is another one.
Results in:
This is a paragraph. It's quite short.
This paragraph will result in an indented block of text, typically used for quoting other text.This is another one.
Text styles
Inside paragraphs and other bodies of text, you may additionally mark text for italics with "*italics*" or bold with "**bold**". This is called "inline markup".
If you want something to appear as a fixed-space literal, use "``double back-quotes``". Note that no further fiddling is done inside the double back-quotes -- so asterisks "*" etc. are left alone.
If you find that you want to use one of the "special" characters in text, it will generally be OK -- reStructuredText is pretty smart. For example, this lone asterisk * is handled just fine, as is the asterisk in this equation: 5*6=30. If you actually want text *surrounded by asterisks* to not be italicised, then you need to indicate that the asterisk is not special. You do this by placing a backslash just before it, like so "\*" (quickref), or by enclosing it in double back-quotes (inline literals), like this:
Think of inline markup as a form of (parentheses) and use it the same way: immediately before and after the text being marked up. Inline markup by itself (surrounded by whitespace) or in the middle of a word won't be recognized. See the markup spec for full details.
Lists of items come in three main flavours: enumerated, bulleted and definitions. In all list cases, you may have as many paragraphs, sublists, etc. as you want, as long as the left-hand side of the paragraph or whatever aligns with the first line of text in the list item.
Lists must always start a new paragraph -- that is, they must appear after a blank line.
- enumerated lists (numbers, letters or roman numerals; quickref)
Start a line off with a number or letter followed by a period ".", right bracket ")" or surrounded by brackets "( )" -- whatever you're comfortable with. All of the following forms are recognised:
1. numbers A. upper-case letters and it goes over many lines with two paragraphs and all! a. lower-case letters 3. with a sub-list starting at a different number 4. make sure the numbers are in the correct sequence though! I. upper-case roman numerals i. lower-case roman numerals (1) numbers again 1) and again
Results in (note: the different enumerated list styles are not always supported by every web browser, so you may not get the full effect here):
- numbers
upper-case letters and it goes over many lines
with two paragraphs and all!
- lower-case letters
- with a sub-list starting at a different number
- make sure the numbers are in the correct sequence though!
- upper-case roman numerals
- lower-case roman numerals
- numbers again
- and again
- bulleted lists (quickref)
Just like enumerated lists, start the line off with a bullet point character - either "-", "+" or "*":
* a bullet point using "*" - a sub-list using "-" + yet another sub-list - another item
Results in:
- a bullet point using "*"
- a sub-list using "-"
- yet another sub-list
- another item
- a sub-list using "-"
- a bullet point using "*"
- definition lists (quickref)
Unlike the other two, the definition lists consist of a term, and the definition of that term. The format of a definition list is:
what Definition lists associate a term with a definition. *how* The term is a one-line phrase, and the definition is one or more paragraphs or body elements, indented relative to the term. Blank lines are not allowed between term and definition.
Results in:
- what
- Definition lists associate a term with a definition.
- how
- The term is a one-line phrase, and the definition is one or more paragraphs or body elements, indented relative to the term. Blank lines are not allowed between term and definition.
Preformatting (code samples)
To just include a chunk of preformatted, never-to-be-fiddled-with text, finish the prior paragraph with "::". The preformatted block is finished when the text falls back to the same indentation level as a paragraph prior to the preformatted block. For example:
An example:: Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and all kinds of markup (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks. Lookie here, I've dropped an indentation level (but not far enough) no more example
Results in:
An example:
Whitespace, newlines, blank lines, and all kinds of markup (like *this* or \this) is preserved by literal blocks. Lookie here, I've dropped an indentation level (but not far enough)no more example
Note that if a paragraph consists only of "::", then it's removed from the output:
:: This is preformatted text, and the last "::" paragraph is removed
Results in:
This is preformatted text, and the last "::" paragraph is removed
To break longer text up into sections, you use section headers. These are a single line of text (one or more words) with adornment: an underline alone, or an underline and an overline together, in dashes "-----", equals "======", tildes "~~~~~~" or any of the non-alphanumeric characters = - ` : ' " ~ ^ _ * + # < > that you feel comfortable with. An underline-only adornment is distinct from an overline-and-underline adornment using the same character. The underline/overline must be at least as long as the title text. Be consistent, since all sections marked with the same adornment style are deemed to be at the same level:
Chapter 1 Title =============== Section 1.1 Title ----------------- Subsection 1.1.1 Title ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Section 1.2 Title ----------------- Chapter 2 Title ===============
This results in the following structure, illustrated by simplified pseudo-XML:
<section> <title> Chapter 1 Title <section> <title> Section 1.1 Title <section> <title> Subsection 1.1.1 Title <section> <title> Section 1.2 Title <section> <title> Chapter 2 Title
(Pseudo-XML uses indentation for nesting and has no end-tags. It's not possible to show actual processed output, as in the other examples, because sections cannot exist inside block quotes. For a concrete example, compare the section structure of this document's source text and processed output.)
Note that section headers are available as link targets, just using their name. To link to the Lists heading, I write "Lists_". If the heading has a space in it like text styles, we need to quote the heading "`text styles`_".
Document Title / Subtitle
The title of the whole document is distinct from section titles and may be formatted somewhat differently (e.g. the HTML writer by default shows it as a centered heading).
To indicate the document title in reStructuredText, use a unique adornment style at the beginning of the document. To indicate the document subtitle, use another unique adornment style immediately after the document title. For example:
================ Document Title ================ ---------- Subtitle ---------- Section Title ============= ...
Note that "Document Title" and "Section Title" above both use equals signs, but are distinct and unrelated styles. The text of overline-and-underlined titles (but not underlined-only) may be inset for aesthetics.
To include an image in your document, you use the the image directive. For example:
.. image:: /images/nikola.png
results in:
The /images/nikola.png part indicates the filename of the image you wish to appear in the document. There's no restriction placed on the image (format, size etc). If the image is to appear in HTML and you wish to supply additional information, you may:
.. image:: /images/nikola.png :height: 100 :width: 200 :scale: 50 :alt: alternate text
See the full image directive documentation for more info.
What Next?
This primer introduces the most common features of reStructuredText, but there are a lot more to explore. The Quick reStructuredText user reference is a good place to go next. For complete details, the reStructuredText Markup Specification is the place to go [1].
Users who have questions or need assistance with Docutils or reStructuredText should post a message to the Docutils-users mailing list.

If you can't be with the holiday you love, love the holiday you're with.
Sarita Fae Jarmack, 25, who grew up in the United States, has already traveled to some 30 countries. Roaming the wide world over, she has discovered that it can sometimes be quite difficult — even on this interconnected planet — to touch base with her childhood traditions.
Videos of Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and slices of tofurkey, says Sarita, who now lives in Denmark, can be in short supply in certain far-off lands. So she makes-do at Thanksgiving time and adapts to the closest celebration she can find.
In Scandinavia, she has marked the holiday with "heavy blankets and the first sips of hot wine," In South Asia, she has danced in a red sari and celebrated the autumnal Dashain festival.
In any locale, she says, "though there may not be the traditions of warmth, smells and family from the U.S., there is always food to fill the bellies and warmth that can be found among friends — wherever one is on the globe."
We hope American expatriates will share photos of Thanksgiving celebrations and tables and gatherings from around the world. Please send them to us on Thanksgiving Day — and over the long holiday weekend --at firstname.lastname@example.com or post them using the hashtag #nprexpat. We will display as many as we can.

The CrockPot Diet
We're home, safe and sound. Disneyland truly is the happiest place on earth.
We couldn't have had a better time, and coming home to all of your lovely comments and emails has turned me into a weepy blubbery mess.
Thank you. You are all wonderful people. And! Evidently quite opinionated about DVD players...
While vacationing, I got to thinking that if I gained 8 pounds (down 4 thanks to the extra walking at D'Land) by eating from a crockpot every day for a year, surely I could lose this newly found weight with my crockpot(s).
yes, steph. It will be easy. Just stay away from this and this and this. And by all means, this.
I folded a lot of laundry the past few days, which means I watched a lot of daytime TV (that's a natural correlation, no?).
And since it's the first few weeks of the year, all daytime TV revolves around health, wellness, and weight loss. There's really no escape.
I used the tools I learned to comb through the archives and came up with a bunch of recipes that seemed to fit the criteria touted on TV.

Since I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination about nutrition, use your best judgment, talk to your own doctor, and all that other stuff they tell you in fine print.
Using your crockpot for soup is a no-brainer, and I have certainly made a bunch over the past year.
These are all oil-free, loaded with fiber and veggies and freeze well. I like to make a big ol' crock of soup on the weekend, then eat on it for lunch during the upcoming week.
There's tons of research pointing out how soup can help kick-start any low(er) calorie eating plan.
Many of these soups can be made vegetarian or vegan if you opt for veggie instead of chicken broth.
I happen to always have a lot of chicken broth on hand.
For an extra boost, you can make your own chicken broth.
16 Bean Soup. Lots o' fiber. You can skip the shredded cheese on top if desired. Vegetarian.
Bean Stew. Can be vegetarian (I used chicken broth). Uses split peas for extra fiber.
Black Bean Soup. You can use fat free sour cream if you'd like for the dollop on top.
Butternut Squash Soup. I am always blown away at how buttery and rich this soup is without any added oil.
Cabbage Soup. The original from the Cabbage Soup Diet, which I've never really done, but Amie has and lost 45 pounds.
Canned Soup. Don't laugh--it totally works. If you don't have time/energy to make your own soup, use your Little Dipper or a mini crockpot. Check labels carefully for hidden gluten. Opt for broth based soups with not-too-much sodium.
Corn Chowder. No cream, butter or oil!
Hot and Sour Soup. I love this soup. I mean I really, really, really love this soup.
Lentil Minestrone Soup (and it has HEALING powers!!)
Moroccan Lentil Soup. A very cheap, fibrous meal. I can't believe how long it took me to embrace the lentil.
Salsa Chicken and Black Bean Soup. Everyone who tries this soup really likes it. It tastes good and is light and healthy.
Smoky Refried Bean Soup. Vegan. Delicious.
Sweet Potato Soup. Sweet potatoes are super foods, which makes this a super soup.
Sausage and White Bean Soup. Use 2 turkey or chicken sausage.
Turkey and Wild Rice Soup. I couldn't stop eating this soup. It totally rocks.
Lean Meat.
Packed with protein, iron, and other good for you stuff.
5-Spice Steak Strips. Eat on top of salad, rice, or on their own.
Ginger Beef with Onions. mmm. ginger.
Pineapple Chicken. Tropical.
Rotisserie-style chicken. You can have lean meat to pick at for the entire week.
Lemon and Herb Chicken. Company-worthy.
Salsa Chicken. No cream cheese, just good lots of good-for-you stuff.
Turkey Cutlets in Mango Salsa. gobble gobble.
Broccoli Beef. A healthier alternative to take-out.
Although I have a new-found fondness for Nemo, I still like to eat fish once a week if I can.
Cooking fish in the crockpot results in moist, flaky fish with no need for oil. The crockpot also ensures that your house doesn't get an icky fish smell.
Cedar-planked salmon. Fish! on wood!
Lemon and Dill Salmon. A great combo of herb and tang.
Salmon and Green Beans. we eat a lot of salmon.
I was hesitant to try tofu for quite a while, but got over it when I realized it only tastes like what you put it in.
Tofu is low in calories, high in protein, inexpensive, and doesn't fall apart in the crockpot. I promise.
Indian Tofu with Spinach. There are garbanzo beans, too!
Sweet and Sour Tofu. Using jarred sauce.
Honey and Orange Tofu. Somewhat similar to the sweet and sour tofu, but with a homemade sauce.
Ginger Teriyaki Tofu. I loved this, but no one else did.
Lettuce Wraps. I've made two varieties in the past year, and we liked them both.
Traditional Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Inspired by PF Changs.
Sweet and Sour Chicken with Mango Lettuce Wraps. All that is good in the world.
For additional information:
--Here's additional recipes that I labeled "light and healthy" throughout the year (scroll through, some are repeats from above listings).
--Kalyn Denny has a bunch of South Beach Diet CrockPot recipes.
--Miz Fit will help jump-start your workout routine
--Jennette Fulda lost 186 pounds through diet and exercise alone. She has written Half-Assed, the funniest weight-loss memoir, ever.
Okay! Who's in? Let me know if you try anything out. I

Mötley Crüe (pronounced as "mott-lay crew") is an American heavy metal/Glam Metal band whose members include Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, Mick Mars, and Vince Neil. History 1980s Mötley Crüe was formed in 1981 , in Los Angeles, after bassist Nikki Sixx left the band London, (a band he and Lizzie Grey started in 1979 when he was fired from Blackie Lawless" band Sister). The band London would also be the first band for the later Guns N" Roses guitarists Izzy Stradlin and Slash and for Cinderella drummer Fred Coury. Sixx asked London bandmate Greg about musicians interested in joining a new band. Leon recommended the drummer Tommy Lee of Suite 19. According to Mick Mars, it was he who thought up the band"s name. While in his former band, White Horse, one of the band members walked in and called the group "a motley looking crew." Mars copied the name down on paper, with the original spelling Mottley Krue. The name was later applied to the band he was to join in 1981 with Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee. They had met guitarist Mick Mars through a classified ad in an L.A. music newspaper reading "Loud, rude, aggressive guitarist avaliable." Nikki"s first reaction was, "I can"t believe it! Here"s another one like us!" Mars"s equipment was quickly set up and, shortly after he was played the opening riff to "Stick to Your Guns," Mars proceeded to, according to Tommy Lee, "play the shit out of his guitar." After getting drunk and jamming for an hour, Mars fired the band"s former guitarist, a musician known only as Robin (a pansy according to Tommy). Tommy Lee and Vince Neil originally knew each other in high school. They had performed in different bands in the garage-band circuit. Mars suggested Mötley Crüe hire Neil after seeing him perform with the band Rock Candy. Neil at first rebuffed the band when they asked him to audition. Then, as fate would have it, Rock Candy dissolved; Neil broke down and agreed to audition for Mötley Crüe after Tommy called him once more.

She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired.
Few people passed. The man out of the last house passed on his way home; she heard his footsteps clacking along the concrete pavement and afterwards crunching on the cinder path before the new red houses. One time there used to be a field there in which they used to play every evening with other people's children. Then a man from Belfast bought the field and built houses in it—not like their little brown houses but bright brick houses with shining roofs. The children of the avenue used to play together in that field—the Devines, the Waters, the Dunns, little Keogh the cripple, she and her brothers and sisters. Ernest, however, never played: he was too grown up. Her father used often to hunt them in out of the field with his blackthorn stick; but usually little Keogh used to keep nix and call out when he saw her father coming. Still they seemed to have been rather happy then. Her father was not so bad then; and besides, her mother was alive. That was a long time ago; she and her brothers and sisters were all grown up; her mother was dead. Tizzie Dunn was dead, too, and the Waters had gone back to England. Everything changes. Now she was going to go away like the others, to leave her home.
Home! She looked round the room, reviewing all its familiar objects which she had dusted once a week for so many years, wondering where on earth all the dust came from. Perhaps she would never see again those familiar objects from which she had never dreamed of being divided. And yet during all those years she had never found out the name of the priest whose yellowing photograph hung on the wall above the broken harmonium beside the coloured print of the promises made to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque. He had been a school friend of her father. Whenever he showed the photograph to a visitor her father used to pass it with a casual word:
"He is in Melbourne now."
She had consented to go away, to leave her home. Was that wise? She tried to weigh each side of the question. In her home anyway she had shelter and food; she had those whom she had known all her life about her. Of course she had to work hard, both in the house and at business. What would they say of her in the Stores when they found out that she had run away with a fellow? Say she was a fool, perhaps; and her place would be filled up by advertisement. Miss Gavan would be glad. She had always had an edge on her, especially whenever there were people listening.
"Miss Hill, don't you see these ladies are waiting?"
"Look lively, Miss Hill, please."
She would not cry many tears at leaving the Stores.
But in her new home, in a distant unknown country, it would not be like that. Then she would be married—she, Eveline. People would treat her with respect then. She would not be treated as her mother had been. Even now, though she was over nineteen, she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father's violence. She knew it was that that had given her the palpitations. When they were growing up he had never gone for her like he used to go for Harry and Ernest, because she was a girl; but latterly he had begun to threaten her and say what he would do to her only for her dead mother's sake. And now she had nobody to protect her. Ernest was dead and Harry, who was in the church decorating business, was nearly always down somewhere in the country. Besides, the invariable squabble for money on Saturday nights had begun to weary her unspeakably. She always gave her entire wages—seven shillings—and Harry always sent up what he could but the trouble was to get any money from her father. He said she used to squander the money, that she had no head, that he wasn't going to give her his hard-earned money to throw about the streets, and much more, for he was usually fairly bad of a Saturday night. In the end he would give her the money and ask her had she any intention of buying Sunday's dinner. Then she had to rush out as quickly as she could and do her marketing, holding her black leather purse tightly in her hand as she elbowed her way through the crowds and returning home late under her load of provisions. She had hard work to keep the house together and to see that the two young children who had been left to her charge went to school regularly and got their meals regularly. It was hard work—a hard life—but now that she was about to leave it she did not find it a wholly undesirable life.
She was about to explore another life with Frank. Frank was very kind, manly, open-hearted. She was to go away with him by the night-boat to be his wife and to live with him in Buenos Ayres where he had a home waiting for her. How well she remembered the first time she had seen him; he was lodging in a house on the main road where she used to visit. It seemed a few weeks ago. He was standing at the gate, his peaked cap pushed back on his head and his hair tumbled forward over a face of bronze. Then they had come to know each other. He used to meet her outside the Stores every evening and see her home. He took her to see The Bohemian Girl and she felt elated as she sat in an unaccustomed part of the theatre with him. He was awfully fond of music and sang a little. People knew that they were courting and, when he sang about the lass that loves a sailor, she always felt pleasantly confused. He used to call her Poppens out of fun. First of all it had been an excitement for her to have a fellow and then she had begun to like him. He had tales of distant countries. He had started as a deck boy at a pound a month on a ship of the Allan Line going out to Canada. He told her the names of the ships he had been on and the names of the different services. He had sailed through the Straits of Magellan and he told her stories of the terrible Patagonians. He had fallen on his feet in Buenos Ayres, he said, and had come over to the old country just for a holiday. Of course, her father had found out the affair and had forbidden her to have anything to say to him.
"I know these sailor chaps," he said.
One day he had quarrelled with Frank and after that she had to meet her lover secretly.
The evening deepened in the avenue. The white of two letters in her lap grew indistinct. One was to Harry; the other was to her father. Ernest had been her favourite but she liked Harry too. Her father was becoming old lately, she noticed; he would miss her. Sometimes he could be very nice. Not long before, when she had been laid up for a day, he had read her out a ghost story and made toast for her at the fire. Another day, when their mother was alive, they had all gone for a picnic to the Hill of Howth. She remembered her father putting on her mother's bonnet to make the children laugh.
Her time was running out but she continued to sit by the window, leaning her head against the window curtain, inhaling the odour of dusty cretonne. Down far in the avenue she could hear a street organ playing. She knew the air. Strange that it should come that very night to remind her of the promise to her mother, her promise to keep the home together as long as she could. She remembered the last night of her mother's illness; she was again in the close dark room at the other side of the hall and outside she heard a melancholy air of Italy. The organ-player had been ordered to go away and given sixpence. She remembered her father strutting back into the sickroom saying:
"Damned Italians! coming over here!"
As she mused the pitiful vision of her mother's life laid its spell on the very quick of her being—that life of commonplace sacrifices closing in final craziness. She trembled as she heard again her mother's voice saying constantly with foolish insistence:
"Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!"
She stood up in a sudden impulse of terror. Escape! She must escape! Frank would save her. He would give her life, perhaps love, too. But she wanted to live. Why should she be unhappy? She had a right to happiness. Frank would take her in his arms, fold her in his arms. He would save her.
She stood among the swaying crowd in the station at the North Wall. He held her hand and she knew that he was speaking to her, saying something about the passage over and over again. The station was full of soldiers with brown baggages. Through the wide doors of the sheds she caught a glimpse of the black mass of the boat, lying in beside the quay wall, with illumined portholes. She answered nothing. She felt her cheek pale and cold and, out of a maze of distress, she prayed to God to direct her, to show her what was her duty. The boat blew a long mournful whistle into the mist. If she went, tomorrow she would be on the sea with Frank, steaming towards Buenos Ayres. Their passage had been booked. Could she still draw back after all he had done for her? Her distress awoke a nausea in her body and she kept moving her lips in silent fervent prayer.
A bell clanged upon her heart. She felt him seize her hand:
All the seas of the world tumbled about her heart. He was drawing her into them: he would drown her. She gripped with both hands at the iron railing.
No! No! No! It was impossible. Her hands clutched the iron in frenzy. Amid the seas she sent a cry of anguish!
"Eveline! Evvy!"
He rushed beyond the barrier and called to her to follow. He was shouted at to go on but he still called to her. She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.

Since 1 January 1992, Swiss law has allowed multiple citizenship without any restrictions. Nevertheless, the acquisition of a foreign citizenship is subject to the legislation of the other state concerned.
Dual citizenship
Swiss citizens who acquire a foreign citizenship
Swiss citizens may acquire another nationality without affecting their Swiss citizenship provided that the legislation of the other state does not require that they renounce their citizenship of origin. For further information on the applicable citizenship legislation of the other state, please contact the competent authority of that state directly.
Swiss nationals living abroad who have acquired citizenship of another state must notify the representation where they are registered.
Foreign nationals applying for Swiss naturalisation
By acquiring Swiss citizenship, foreign nationals may lose the citizenship of their country of origin if the legislation of their country of origin requires it. Relevant official information can be obtained from the authorities of the country of origin.
Consequences of multiple citizenship for FDFA services
Individuals with multiple citizenship may be entitled to receive only a limited range of FDFA services, which are governed by the Swiss Abroad Act (SAA; CC 195.1) and the Swiss Abroad Ordinance (SAO; CC 195.11).
Swiss citizens who hold multiple citizenship may receive the same Swiss consular protection as persons who only hold Swiss citizenship. A Swiss citizen who is also a citizen of the state where they reside may receive Swiss consular protection provided that their country of residence does not object.
Swiss citizens who are also citizens of their country of residence are treated by the local authorities as their own citizens because they consider that the non-Swiss citizenship takes precedence.
Swiss citizens residing abroad who hold multiple citizenship are generally not entitled to Swiss social assistance if the foreign citizenship takes precedence.

It's Been Fun Being Yellow 21, But I'm Ready For My New Name!
*Note: In an effort to keep this post a manageable length, I chose to include links to many of the comments and entries that are mentioned, rather than put them in here. So you can read just what you see, or you can click on the links for the lengthier (and much livelier) version. What? You want to skip right to the end? Uh, yeah sure, go ahead. Just promise me you'll come back and read the whole thing, okay? It took me forever to put this together.
After three weeks, more than 250 comments (on 70 printed pages), over 150 names entered, and enough laughing to burn off at least 400 chocolate babycakes (and that's just on my part), our lovely Yellow 21 has a brand new name.
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the Farmgirl Fare First Ever Name That Sheep Contest (which even managed to receive international notoriety. ) I am overwhelmed by your amazing response, your marvelous creativity, and your non-stop enthusiasm (click here to read the 40+ zany comments that were left yesterday alone. And don't forget to click on the names of the commenters to find out who some of them really are.) Everyone was an exceptionally good sport throughout the contest (though we did have one mild threat from Shauna regarding Cookiecrumb's entry of "Girl.")
I have had more fun than I ever imagined--and the Secret Panel Of Judges had one heck of a time choosing a winner. We were tempted to take Cherrybegonia's advice and "name this sheep Grace because only by the the grace of God are you not going to give up and just keep Yellow 21!" And that was 40 pages of comments ago. Then there was Kitchen Mage's suggestion that we "declare Larb [her entry] to be of a culture where everyone gets 1000 names and dub her Larb Butterbean Muffaletta Pepper Coriander Matzo Ball Pecorino Pepato Clementine Kiwi Meringue Cashew Skittles Fluffernutter Sugarlump Marzipan Cupcake Chocolat Mocha Cappucino. As long as Larb is first."
But we perservered. And while you can rest assured that all judging was done on the up and up, there were definitely some tempting offers. This lovely lunch arrived via e-mail from hopeful contestant Kat. Kitchen Mage, in her quest to make "Little Larblet" her own, put all her heart into baking some special bread in Yellow 21's honor. And Heather revealed a secret family recipe in hopes of swaying the judges toward the name Willow. But the most tempting offer of all had to be the one from Mathilde, who suggested some interesting Danish names and then added that she "would SO love to see the face of my boyfriend telling him I won a live sheep. He will be afraid she will have to live with me and the cat in too little space and he will turn all green in the face. I will promise you a picture of this if I win!".
But as I said, the judges did not receive any actual bribes. (Pssst! Nic! Your package never arrived.) So on with the contest. The variety of names entered was simply astounding. And it was certainly interesting to be allowed a look at just how some of your minds work (like Anna's, which came up with this entry, and Amy's, which came up with this one. And then there was Geekwif's first choice: Hot Rod Mama.)
Because you are probably curious (and at the risk of hurting the feelings of other entrants--as Brett suggested, we really should declare "a hundred way tie for second place."), here are some of the names that made it through the first rounds of judging. They are (in no particular order): Kiwi, Willow (or Woolow, as one the of judges preferred), Gemma, Emma, Missy, Matilda, Ewegenie, Chloe, Hannah, Estella, Darla, Fiona, Philomena, Tallulah, Lottie Lou, Mrs. MacTavish, Patience, and Grace.
The judges also liked the name Patricia, which was suggested by Spiral, as well as the reasoning behind her choice. (Plus one of the judges thought it would be kind of cute to call her Fatty Patty when she was pregnant.) Spiral also did an admirable job of bashing every one of the previous entries.
Once we had a list of finalists, our job became even harder. And while Yellow 21 has only one new name, the judges would like to call attention to a few contestants who, each in their own (sometimes slightly demented) way, rose above the throngs of other players and outdid themselves in their efforts to win themselves a sheep.
Let's start with Alisha. She didn't enter right away, as she wanted to wait until she came up with the perfect name. And she did. It was Lydia. Which Karl had entered on the first day of the contest. Aghast at what she had inadvertantly done, she came back with an entirely different idea, a rather convoluted (and slightly frantic) explanation to go with it--and no new entry. That's right, for Alisha was willing to win only half a sheep as long as she knew it had the right name. We had to admire her for that.
We also couldn't help but admire Brett, who confidently waltzed in and cleverly dissed more than 70 names with one click on the "Publish Comment" button--then left us with his entry of. . . Pecorino Pepato. Which he returned to valiantly defend not just once, but several times, armed with ammunition from such places as ThinkBabyNames.com and Wikipedia.org. In the final round of Pecorino's defense, he also offered up two contingency names: Ewenice and Coletta (the latter he brazenly admitted stealing right off the blogger Word Verification thingie that appeared when leaving his comment).
Then we have Tana, who jumped right in, happy to show off her knowledge of sheep breeds (but who, despite the fact that she spends much of her days visiting small farms, still doesn't know what noise a sheep makes.) Tana submitted the name Rita Merino, and although I did publicly disclose Yellow 21's background here, specifically mentioning (for Tana's benefit) that Yellow 21 is not even 1% merino, she stuck by her name, popping by now and again to defend it when necessary. This was usually just when you thought she'd given up the fight--like last night at 5:44pm when a comment appeared out of nowhere saying, simply: "Ahem. Please click here!"
Next we have Lindy, who entered just one name: "Muffaletta, after the sandwich." And who came back several times to defend her entry and point out its many virtues. (We do have to agree, Lindy--it somehow actually does sound wooly.)But when it started to look as though Yellow 21 might never become a sandwich, Lindy put in a shameless appeal for the sympathy vote with this story. (Wait, you gotta go back and read the story first.)
And then there is Jeff, who lurks in the background at Culinary In The Desert, feasting on Joe's gourmet cooking and no doubt keeping the entire household in a constant state of hysterics. Jeff entered several names, but when he learned that one judge was getting a real kick out of his very first entry, Cashew, ("If you are raising her for any sort of profit-reasons....Cashew. As in...Cash-Ewe Hee hee hee!") he took the hint and ran like hell with it. At one point he even started channeling sheep. It's going to be awfully quiet around here without Jeff's witty comments peppering nearly every single post that I've put up since this contest began. He definitely outdid himself with this one.
And that brings us to The Final Three. You probably know who they are. Sam. Lisolette. Wendy. There is no way I can even begin to rekindle the competitive (and absolutely hilarious) fire that was burning here this past week--and these three were definitely the ones most responsible for fanning the flames. If you haven't been following along with the contest, I can only urge you to go back and read the comments section of the original post, especially the second half of them. Now I'll do my best to give these girls the credit they deserve.
Wendy was our latecomer, joining in the game just last week, but oh how she made up for it. She entered over 30 different names, starting with Mushmello. Then she really got on the ball--and just kept rolling. She also had me (and I'm sure many other people) rolling on the floor in fits of laughter with her wacky comments. (Don't believe me? Just try saying "Cream of Sheep" out loud with a straight face.) Wendy says she works as a barmaid, and, well, one can't help but wonder. . .
She eventually hit upon the name Marzipan, along with a bribe.
Meanwhile, there was Sam. Sam, who entered just one name: Guinevere ("aptly meaning 'fair and soft'"). Sam, who faked technical difficulties on her own blog, Becks & Posh, so she could devote more time to the contest. And she has played fair alright, but she has been anything but soft on the competition. Last week I was absolutely thrilled when I saw that there had been a record number of visitors to Farmgirl Fare--and that the previous daily high had been broken by several hundred hits. Then I discovered the truth. There were no hundreds of new readers--it was just Sam, checking in every six minutes in the hopes of finding a newly entered name to bash.
And when Liselotte first joined in by entering the name Karen, Sam was right there, ready to pounce on it. When Liselotte came back to check on her name, she saw that I had explained how I once had a sheep named Karen. She also noticed that I mentioned how I liked the name Liselotte and wondered why she hadn't entered it. And so she did.
That was when Wendy jumped on the bashing bandwagon, and things really got going. Cupcakes and accusations were flying everywhere. When Wendy accused Liselotte of really being a man named Bubba, Liselotte calmly walked into the kitchen and put her culinary and artistic skills to work. And when Liselotte demanded to see Wendy's cupcakes, Wendy explained that she had been sharpening up her sheep raising skills.
So where was Sam while all of this was going on? First she pointed out that she knew exactly who had first come up with the name Liselotte, and then she faked yet more technical difficulties (see the very believable sounding note at the end of this post)
on Becks & Posh and went off to call in a few favors from some celebrities. Meanwhile, Wendy and Lisolette made their closing remarks.
Three finalists and five strong competitors. But, of course, there can only be one Big Winner. And while we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated Wendy's wit and humor and enthusiasm, there was no denying that her final entry was, well, Marzipan Cream of Sheep. Just not quite up to par with Liselotte and Guinevere.
What to do? What to do? How to reward seven deserving players without dividing up Yellow 21 into little bits? And then it came to us.
This contest was created because it can take a while to get a name around here. In fact, there are a few other sheep roaming around without proper names--including some that were born this year and last, and thus need names that begin with an 'A' or a 'B.' (So that it would be easier for us to remember which lambs were born when, last year we decided to give all the female lambs born that year names starting with an 'A.' And this year we gave them 'B' names. That was the simple reason why no 'A' or 'B' names were allowed in the contest.)
In a flash of brilliance, we realized that we could celebrate some very deserving people--and get a few more sheep named at the same time. And so without further ado, I would like to introduce you to
Alisha! This cutie pie was born in 2004 to Doll Face, and previously known only as Green 33. Congratulations, Alisha (the person)! You have received a Special Judges Award!
Next, please meet the newly named
Brett! Brett (the person), you have been named Best Basher! Little Brett was born this spring to Auntie Rose and used to be called Green 43--though she chose to remove her eartag. Click here to see another picture of her.
Moving on, we come to a slightly older sheep. Poor Yellow 24 has spent over two years without a real name. Until now. Introducing
Taaaaanaaaaa! Congratulations Tana (the person), you have received a Special Judges Award! (Tana the sheep is a little camera shy, but we did manage to snap this picture of her as well.)
And then we have Lindy. Lindy, who knows so well that somebody has to be the fifth place winner. Lindy, you too have received a Special Judges Award. Congratulations! Now please say hello to this formerly nameless beauty,
Lindy The Chicken!
Up next is Jeff. Jeff who, even as I sit typing this, is still leaving witty comments on other Farmgirl Fare posts. What can we say? This contest just would not have been the same without nuts. Congratulations Jeff, you have been given the Laugh Out Loud Award! And, if all goes well, five months from yesterday (how's that for perfect timing?) Yellow 21 will give birth to little Cashew! And if it's a boy? Well, then it'll just be Cash. . .
And Wendy. Wendy, who, in the spirit of competition, even eartagged her husband. She really put her all into the contest, but you have to admit that many of her comments were pretty silly. But in a good way. In the same way that this pretty lady was named Silly back in 2002 when she was born to Doll Face. She has always liked her name, but she was absolutely tickled to find out that from now on she is going to be known as
Silly Wendy! Congratulations Wendy, you have been given the Artistic Genius Or Borderline Psychotic? Award! (Please click here to see Silly Wendy in a more refined pose.)
And that leaves us with Sam and Liselotte. To say this was a close call would be making a huge understatement. If this had been a horse race, it would definitely need a photo finish and a magnifying glass. Both players fought to the very end with unstoppable wit and charm and humor--and stamina. Both entered excellent names, and, really, both deserved to win.
But, once again, Yellow 21 can only have one new name. The judges were stumped. We even put the question to Yellow 21 herself, though we did not expect any help since up to this point she had not responded in the slightest to any of the names we had called her: not to Snorf, not to Tallulah, not to Patience, not even to Marzipan Cream Of Sheep. Nothing. Not a twitch. So what happened when we called out the final two names to her? Well naturally she answered to both of them.
It was back to us. We thought long and hard, and we finally figured it out. What does it all come down to in the end? Not who bakes the best cupcakes. Not who you know in high places. No, what it all comes down to in the end is Love. And while we can only assume that Sam was planning to love Yellow 21 with all of her heart, she never actually came out and said it. And Liselotte did.
Sam, we present to you the MVP Award for Most Vigilant Player. And we hope that you will be pleased to know that in 2010, when we reach the 'G' names, the softest and fairest of all the female lambs will most definitely be called Guinevere. In the meantime, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to
Becks. . .
And Posh!
Yes, we realize Becks has food all over her chin, but as a diehard foodie we figured that Sam would understand. Becks (who used to be called Green 42) was born this spring to Trixie, a triplet whose mother is Mary (Doll Face's triplet sister). Click here to see another picture of Becks.
And Posh (formerly known as Green 32) was born in 2004 to Clare, one of our oldest and dearest sheep. Click here to see another picture of And Posh.
Phew. That means all we have left to do is say Goodbye Yellow 21. . .
And Hello Liselotte!
Congratulations to you both!
And now I do believe it's time for some champagne. Thank you all so much for playing (and for your patience). This contest has truly been one of the most memorable events in my life. (No, I'm not crying. There's something in my eye. Yes, in that one, too.)
