Happy birthday, blog!
Can you belive it? It's my third blog-birthday already! Time sure flies when you're having fun! And I am, most definitely. And hopefully, so are you. Thank you, thank you so much for reading. And for commenting, and for e-mailing, and for just being there. Thank you.
I wish I could have all of you over for coffee and cake, but as that's not really possible, let me at least share a recipe for a delicious cake. As it happens, this is probably the most sought-after recipe that I get e-mails about. By far. See, this simple little cake, with almond meringue layers and almond buttercream, was Oscar II:s favorite cake. (He was the king of Sweden between 1872-1907.) Nowadays, it's many people's favorite, and most of them across the world can find this at Ikea. It's produced by Almondy and sold frozen.
In fact, that's how we get ours as well - at any supermarket, frozen. They make a few versions - one with chocolate, one with Daim, even one with Snickers - but I've always liked this one the best. In fact, it's the cake we served for our wedding! (Yes, bought ready-made, frozen. Yep. It's that good.) So, since we always buy this ready-made, I've never had a recipe for it. For this blog-aversary, I thought I'd make an effort to actually make one from scratch. Turned out that it wasn't hard at all, and a lot of fun. And delicious - a bit fluffier than the bought version, but still very similar. Give it a try! This one has almond toffee in the buttercream, but you could use chopped up Daim if you want to make that version, or why not a few spoons of instant coffee to make a mocha variety? A bonus: it's gluten-free.

Oscar II:s Cake
Cake layers:
100 g ground almonds
150 g sugar
4 egg whites
4 egg yolks
100 g sugar
200 ml heavy cream (35-40% fat)
150 g butter, softened
Almond toffee:
20 almonds
5 tbsp sugar
almond flakes
Start with the cake layers. I made four layers, but you can do two or three, depending on what size you want it to be. My layers were about 20 cm across. (I have a pretty small cake stand that I wanted to use, which is why I chose that particular size.) You need to draw circles (or whatever shape you want, obviously) on parchment paper, and spread the batter carefully within those shapes. They'll keep their shape nicely in the oven and not run out. And you can not bake just one cake in a pan and cut it into layers - it won't have the same texture at all.
Beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold in sugar and ground almonds. Bake at 175°C for about 15 minutes. The layers should be fairly golden.
Make the buttercream. Mix egg yolks, sugar and cream in a saucepan, and cook on low heat, stirring all the time, until it's thickened. It'll thicken when you least expect it to, so don't leave it! You might need to turn up the heat a bit if nothing happens. Remove from heat, add the butter gradually and stir until it's all incorporated. Leave to cool completely.
Make the toffee: melt the sugar in a small saucepan. Coarsely chop the almonds, and throw those in the pot. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the almond is fully caramelized, but make sure it doesn't burn! Pour onto an oiled baking sheet or a silpat mat. Leave to cool, and then pulverize it in a pestle and mortar. Mix into the buttercream.
Toast the almond flakes in a hot, dry pan or in a hot oven. Leave to cool.
Sandwich the cake layers with buttercream, and top with a lot of buttercream over the entire cake. You can freeze it at this point - in fact, I recommend it. It'll keep together much better that way, otherwise it can be a bit slippery-slidey. Just let it thaw at room temperature for about half an hour, and sprinkle with toasted almonds just before serving. (They'll go soft if they're on the cake for too long.)

Happy birthday to your blog, Anne. I found a recipe for King Oscar's cake in the Swedish Cakes & Cookies book.
I have to compare to see if your recipe is the same. Congratulations!! - October 23, 2007 9:27 AM
- Anne said...
Thanks everyone! :)
Ilva - no indeed! I really didn't think about the long-term effects at all :)
Jess B - ooh, glad I can cheer up some of those long study nights for you!
Anna - you're very much on my mind, as are my close friends on southern CA. :( It's very worrying!
Viktoria - oh, you're so sweet to remember that :)
Gloria - he did get a piece of this one too, I think he liked it! :)
Pene - it's probably the same! Rutiga Bakboken, which I got this from, is from the same publisher's, and is basically the same book but larger. :) - October 23, 2007 9:47 AM

Hi Anne! Please take my huge congratulations with anniversary of your blog! WOW! Three years! Three years ago I even didn't know what blog is it :) Now I have a several my blogs and I am happy I have a possibility to find many new friends in all the world and to discover a new cultures, and in food too. I would like to say you that Ukrainian cuisine has a very rich traditions, and I hope one time we will speak with you about Ukrainian recipes.
- October 23, 2007 10:03 PM
Congrats on your anniversary!
Here in Norway the mentioned cake is very popular as well, and it's called 'suksessterte'. The main difference is that we normally don't add the toffee, which makes the cream bright yellow instead.
(btw - you forgot to mention in your recipe that the butter should be whisked into the egg/sugar/cream-mixture after it's completely cold) - October 23, 2007 11:32 PM

Happy belated blog birthday, Anne, lol...I know it's really late:)
You see, I stumbled upon your blog today while in search for a recipe for King Oscar's Cake and there you were!
I was thinking of including a note on this week's food list of celebrations and wanted to include a bite about Sweden's National Day on June, 6th tomorrow. I realize it is rather late, but I was wondering two things. 1) Is the National Day in fact June 6th? 2) would you mind very much if I linked to your recipe?
Thank you so much for your time. I need to nosey around, I'm liking it here:)
Thanks for sharing, Louise - June 05, 2010 10:46 PM
- Anne said...
Louise - it's indeed Sweden's National Day on June 6, and you're more than welcome to link to the recipe! :)
- June 07, 2010 9:57 AM
- ~~louise~~ said...
Thanks Anne, I didn't get to it this year but I've saved this post for next time. I'm also adding your link to my side bar for assurance.
It's just so tasty:)
Thank you so much for sharing... - June 08, 2010 1:50 AM

Healing Power of Onions: Can Onions absorb Bacteria, Viruses and Flu?
The Almighty Onion…is she more powerful than we previously thought? This is an interesting topic that I discovered online several times in various forms, all relating to the theory that if you put an onion in the room of a person who is sick, the onion will 'absorb' the illness, and sometimes in just a few hours, the person is better. It seemed unbelievable, but I thought to myself, "Remember that one Jennifer, and if you ever need it, you have nothing to lose by giving the onion theory a try."
All information in this article is for educational purposes only.
It is not for the diagnosis, treatment, prescription or cure of any disease or health condition.
A few points to note on Onion Healing:
This is not a new idea. Onions were used by certain individuals in Europe to successfully fight off the plague in the early 1900's. Ayurvedic medicine has been using an onion poultice for the chest or feet to cure coughs, fevers and flus for centuries. They also use the onion poultice to reduce pain and inflammation in the joints. Homeopathic doctors also use the healing power of onions to heal from viruses and illness. I even know people in the North American Hutterite community, a pacifist community similar to the Amish whose traditions date back to the 16th century, who tell me it is common practice to place onions in their homes during winter flu season and to use cut onions in the room of an ill person to relieve their symptoms quickly and naturally.
It is said that white onions work better than red onions. Yellow onions would be an acceptable alternative, but white onions, with the latin name Allium Cepa, work best.
The onions need to be peeled if left around the home as a preventive measure against flu and viruses. Many people do this during flu season and find that no one gets sick, whereas in previous years with no onions, they had several members of the family fall ill. If placed around the home for prevention, the onions should be replaced every 3 months.
If someone falls ill with a cough, flu, cold or fever, immediately place a peeled white onion cut in half in a bowl in their room. The onion needs to be cut in half in order to expose the most amount of 'healing power' from its pungent odor.
Cut onions can also be used to eliminate mold smells in a closet, drawer or room.
It's best not to leave a cut onion open in the fridge (to eat later) because as soon as an onion is cut, it will start to absorb bacteria, etc. So, if you cut an onion for a salad, either use the whole thing or put the other half in your garage or basement to absorb bad smells! Once the onion is in a salad in a sealed container, it is safe and can be eaten at a later time.
Perhaps the most interesting onion remedy is the Sock Onion. This is a 'modern-day' version of the Ayurvedic poultice, and involves cutting the white onion in half and placing one half on the bottom of each foot so that the cut onion is against the skin. Place a sock on top of the onion so it stays secure in place and leave the 'Onion Sock' on overnight. This is especially good for flus and fevers. One of my twitter followers recently shared her success with the Sock Onion:
Health Benefits of Onions
Onions are rich in sulfur-containing compounds that are responsible for their strong odor. Sulfur is a powerful detox element and helps the body to release toxins, especially for the liver. Foods naturally high in sulfur also help the body to detox from heavy metals like lead, arsenic and cadmium.
The onion is the richest dietary source of quercitin, a powerful antioxidant flavonoid that has been shown to thin the blood, lower cholesterol, ward off blood clots, and fight asthma, chronic bronchitis, hay fever, diabetes, atherosclerosis and infections and is even linked to inhibiting certain types of cancer.
Onions are also naturally anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and antiviral. That, of course, is when you eat them!
Onions to Heal: First to Remove Odors
Fast-forward to me being in Vilcabamba, Ecuador where I'm here renting a house for 2 months to do an extended water fast. In the first few days in the house, we noticed a very bad septic smell coming from both toilets which never got better, no matter how many times we flushed or cleaned the toilets. After we started the water fast and became more sensitive to smell, I thought to myself, What can we do which is completely natural and will still take this smell away? Then I remembered everything I read about the Almighty Onion!
That night, we sliced 2 white onions in half, placed 1 onion in each of 2 bowls and put one bowl in each bathroom overnight. The onion smell at first was very strong, but that is actually a great smell when you are water fasting (we dreamed of tomato gazpacho with onions!). The next morning, to our complete amazement, there was no more onion smell, and guess what? There was no more septic smell either!!!
Onions to Heal: Taking the Onion Sock Test
I became so excited with this discovery that I wanted to try to Onion Sock theory. Luckily, we still had 1 onion left in the house, so the very next night, we cut the onion into 4 lateral thick slices (each slice about 1/2″ thick). I use 2 slices on my my feet and gave the remaining 2 to my boyfriend who willing put them on his feet. (Yes, he is a willing participant in all of this stuff including the water fast because, one, he is very open to try new things and he trusts my skills and experience, and two, because he lost his mom to cancer 8 years ago and knows that clean diet, clean body and clean mind are the keys to good health).
Now, the interesting part of this story is that we were on Day 5 of a water fast when we tried the Onion Socks. Mainly, I wanted to see if the onion could be used as a tool to amplify the detox effects. Especially with the body being so clean, the fumes from the onion could theoretically be absorbed through the skin and pass through the body more quickly, and perhaps eliminate internal bad bacteria or even parasites.
With Onion Socks on, we waited anxiously to see what would happen. Note that both of us were feeling good all day and I felt great when we placed the onions on our feet. My boyfriend was feeling pretty tired and weak after his evening enema but had felt really good earlier in the day.
Results of the Onion Sock Experiment
After about 30 minutes with the Onion Socks on, I started to feel distinct quivers in my calves and a twitch on my left side at the rib cage. 20 minutes later, I started feeling heartburn! That was amazing. I have not had any acid reflux at all during this water fast (although is was an issue during my last water fast, all of which I explain in my ebook: Water Fasting Guide & 40-Day Journal). Shortly after that, I started to feel hot in the head. In another 10 minutes, my eyes started to tear as if I had just cut an onion, although a much milder sensation but clearly a distinct tearing.
5 minutes after that, my boyfriend told me he had the taste of onion in his mouth!
So clearly, something was happening, even if it was only onion fumes passing through our bodies and nothing else.
The next morning, we compared notes about how we felt. My boyfriend had a terrible night and barely slept and felt that the onion fumes had upset his intestinal worms (which we are sure he has and are hoping the water fast will eliminate). I felt tired and weak, the first day for me to feel that way, but I did feel better. I don't think it was the placebo effect as I am very open to trying something and saying it doesn't work.
And the real reason why I think it worked is because 90% of my hay fever and allergy symptoms disappeared overnight!! That is the best part of this story so far. Ever since we arrived to Vilcabama, I have been sneezing like crazy, scratching my nose all the time with excessive mucous coming out of my nose almost constantly. Well, they say that raw foodists don't have allergies so I could not understand what was going on and I was hoping that the water fast would help. But, we went through Day 1-4 with absolutely no change and no relief, still sneezing up to 50 times a day easily. Well, after the Onion Socks, I did not have any mucous, and I went through the whole day with no itchy eyes and no itchy nose and I think I sneezed only 2 times the entire day!! Now, that is no placebo effect! Anyone who suffers from allergies can appreciate how wonderful the sense of relief is, and to find a natural 'cure' and experience allergy relief from 1/2 of an onion?! Wow!!
Today we went out and bought 10 more onions and we are going to continue with the Onion Socks intermittently during our water fast. I'll update later with more results. Meanwhile, consider trying this yourself at home. I mean, what do you have to lose except for the cost of a few onions? In my opinion, it's a safe and effective method with nothing to lose and a lot to possibly gain.
UPDATE: I did the Onion Sock again the next night, and that was it. One month later, eating again, and all sign of hayfever are still gone! I recommended this to a Natural Hygiene Raw Foodist in Vilcabamba who was also having hay fever allergies, and he had noticeable reduction of symptoms after 24 hours.

Parents can take practical steps to keep their children smoke-free. At first, young people start smoking to look cool. They don't understand that tobacco is addictive. E-cigarettes often contain nicotine and are also considered a tobacco product. But a person who starts smoking when young is likely to continue the habit into adulthood. And quitting smoking later in life is a hard task.
Here are specific steps you can take to keep your children from smoking:
If you smoke, quit. Children look to their parents as an example. Children of smokers are more likely to smoke than children of nonsmokers.
Start talking about smoking when your kids are young. Talk about the dangers of smoking when your children are ages 5 or 6. If you wait until they're 11 or 12, when they're likely to be tempted to try cigarettes, their health attitudes are already pretty well set.
Talk with your kids about advertising. Explain to your children how tobacco advertising through TV, movies, and social media manipulates people. It tries to make them believe that smoking is cool, socially acceptable, and will improve their image.
Remind them of the cost of smoking. Point out to your children that teens who spend money on smoking could have bought makeup, new clothes, video games, or other things that matter to them.
Pay attention to your children's friends. The chances they'll smoke are greater if they have close friends who smoke. If your children's friends smoke, don't wait until your children start smoking to say something. Bring up the subject first and help them deal with peer pressure.
Get to know the parents of your children's friends. Are they smokers? Do they allow smoking? Are they concerned with raising nonsmoking children? Work with other parents to keep informed about your kids' activities. And get kids involved in activities that are not linked to smoking. These include organized sports, hiking, biking, or other athletic activities.
Know what you're talking about. Become well-informed about the dangers of smoking. When talking with your children about smoking, it's important to have the facts. There's no need to exaggerate or to say smoking is worse than it is. The truth is bad enough.
Arm your children with feelings of self-confidence and self-worth. What does self-confidence have to do with not smoking? Everything. Children who feel belittled at home, or who are overly controlled, will seek to escape one way or another. They will often take up smoking to rebel against authority figures.
Talk with teens about what matters to them. Tell teens about the negative effects of smoking that may matter most at their age. These include bad breath, yellow teeth, and reduced athletic abilities. Teens often don't respond to warnings about the long-term health consequences.
Tell teens about the harmful effects of e-cigarettes. These include serious lung diseases and harmful effects to their developing brains. Other names for e-cigarettes include e-cigs, e-hookahs, mods, vape pens, and tank systems.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Just got my first order in. Came the next day. Packaging was perfectly done and better than many other coral dealers. Each was clearly ID'd in specimen jars with care instructions for each one individually. The prior day I hadn't specified a delivery date (which is a great feature) and they called me to verify. Absolutely flawless experience and I'll be back. Really reasonable prices on corals as well. Worth every penny.
100% recommended, I had doubts about buy corals on line, but I trusted in Riptide Aquaculture and I'm satisfied with my choice, excellent service, All corals arrived in good conditions, good colors, and good shape.
Excellent coral buying experience. All four corals arrived intact, each was packed in sufficient water and tripled bagged. Shipped from florida to california in 24 hrs. Communication was excellent and they adjusted delivery date per my request.
I just ordered 9 coral during Riptides recent reef2reef tiki sale. I requested they be delivered on a set day, but they realized that it may be too cold for shipping so they requested that it be moved out a week. The following week they shipped on time and the packaging was excellent. Heat pack inside the styrofoam box kept the coral warm in transit and each coral was triple bagged. They all were healthy and looked great when they arrived. One was kind of small, but I can't really complain as it was only $5 during the sale. Overall I was very pleased with the entire process. I would highly recommend them.
Really fun buying during the Tiki Torch Sale! (That may be the wrong name 🤷). Regardless, the sale was a ton of fun and I got some really amazing pieces for a crazy good price. They had crazy $5 specials, just had to be fast enough. You could win three of them, and you have to buy three at discounted prices. Really awesome selection, got way more than three at the prices they had. Really great shipping, worked around my schedule. Due to weather delays, several orders came in today so I received about 35 pieces total. The packaging was really well done and getting these guys settled into the tank was a breeze. All of them are mostly out in just a couple of hours. So awesome! Not a single complaint for these guys! Will be back for the next sale.
I was super nervous about buying corals online, but Riptide blew me away with their service. The corals were triple bagged with identification labels with care instructions for each coral. They were also attached to tiny plastic cups to keep them from rolling around in the bag. The bags were placed in a styrofoam container inside the box. Everything looked great and so far they are looking quite happy in my tank. I would not hesitate to order from them again! I'm so happy that I met Mitch and Mason at Aqua Mania in Pittsboro, NC! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been as eager to order online. Great service and they are always available to answer questions. Thanks guys!

Based on the assumption that genes with related function from different organisms show high sequence similarity, degenerate primers can be designed from sequences of homologues genes. Genefisher 2 is an interactive web-based program for designing degenerate primers. The procedure leads to isolation of genes in a target organism using multiple alignments of related genes from different organisms. The term "gene fishing" refers to the technique where PCR is used to isolate a postulated but unknown target sequence from a pool of DNA.
BatCons2 is a tool for Backtranslation of aminoacid-sequences to nucleicacid-sequences and for ambiguos consensus sequence calculation based on a given alignment.

On Election Day 2012, black voters waited on average nearly twice as long to vote as did white voters, while the wait time for Hispanic voters fell in between those two groups.
So say the available data, according to Massachusetts Institute of Technology political scientist Charles Stewart III. He decided to see what he could learn by examining statistics on Election Day waits and sums up his findings in a research paper titled " Waiting to Vote in 2012."
Stewart says the national average wait for white voters was 12 minutes, while that same metric for African-Americans was 23 minutes. For Hispanics, it was 19 minutes.
Although it would be easy to jump to the conclusion that some form of discrimination might have been at work, Stewart suggests that other factors could be at play, such as geography.
The data, for instance, indicate that waits tended to be longest in cities and shortest in rural ZIP codes as a general rule, though there were exceptions. Stewart writes:
"On the whole, states with the smallest populations had the lowest waits. This is related to the fact that rural areas had the shortest wait times and cities had the longest. Among respondents living in the most rural ZIP codes in the study, the overall national average wait was 5.7 minutes; among those living in the most densely populated ZIP codes, the average wait was 17.7 minutes.
"However, it should be noted that California had among the shortest wait times in the country, at an average of 7 minutes; Los Angeles County, the largest electoral jurisdiction in the nation, also averaged 7 minutes to vote. Thus, while large, urban areas may be prone to longer lines, they are not destined to have them."
Not only was there variation among regions of the U.S. and between urban and rural areas, but there were big differences within individual counties.
In Florida, a state that has earned a reputation for Election Day problems, the last day of early voting in Broward County saw an average wait of 57 minutes at the Supervisor of Elections branch office in Pompano Beach, versus more than five hours at the Tamarac branch library.
Obviously, because of the racial clustering that occurs in many ZIP codes, geography and race are often hard to separate. So it might be difficult to separate how much of the discrepancy in wait times is due to race versus other factors.
Because of that and other concerns, Stewart writes:
"The strong influence of race — both at the individual and aggregate levels — clearly deserves greater attention from researchers. The preliminary analysis is that the differences are due to factors associated with where minority voters live, rather than with minority voters as individuals."
In a finding that argued for the difference being more about geography than racial discrimination against particular individuals, Stewart says white voters residing in the "most racially diverse ZIP codes" also waited longer — an average of 13 minutes, compared with seven minutes for whites living in ZIP codes whose populations were 95 percent or more white.

23 May POM, Not So Wonderful: Judge rules against its health claims
A US federal administrative judge has ruled that the pomegranate juice maker POM Wonderful isn't all that – but both sides have claimed victory.
Judge D Michael Chappell ruled that the company made deceptive advertising claims in marketing its popular pomegranate juice product as a way to "treat, prevent or reduce the risk heart disease, prostate cancer or erectile dysfunction."
Chappell, the US Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) chief administrative law judge, wrote in his decision: "The greater weight of the persuasive expert testimony demonstrates that there is insufficient competent and reliable scientific evidence to substantiate" such health claims made by POM.
The judge's 335-page order upholds the majority of a complaint lodged by the FTC in 2010 against the Los Angeles-based company, owned by Lynda and Stewart Resnick.
The order says POM Wonderful "shall not make any representation, in any manner, expressly or by implication, including through the use of a product name, endorsement, depiction, illustration, trademark or trade name, about the health benefits, performance or efficacy of any covered product, unless the representation is non-misleading."
Violations of the order could be subject to a fine of $16 000 per incident, the Los Angeles Times reports. Unless POM formally challenges the judge's decision, it will go into effect in 30 days.
"We do plan to appeal certain aspects of the ruling," POM spokesman Corey Martin told the Times.
The judge did not agree with every complaint made in the original FTC lawsuit. He said, for example, that the requirement that POM get pre-approval from the US FDA for any future advertising claims "would constitute unnecessary overreaching."
The judge also did not agree that every marketing claim included in the complaint was deceptive.
POM Wonderful, and its parent company Roll Global, are thereforecalling the ruling a victory. "We consider this not only to be a huge win for us, but for the natural food products industry," said Martin in an email. "This is a significant win for consumers that validates the right to deliver important, scientifically validated health information to consumers."
"We have always believed in the power of the pomegranate and are pleased that we will be able to continue to showcase the fantastic health benefits inherent in this wonderful fruit," Stewart Resnick, president of Roll Global, said in a statement.

Opening Keynote
Sustainable Hardscapes: What Questions Should We be Asking?
Hardscape is the non-living functional elements of a landscape such as roads, paths, furnishings, and lighting. The term sustainable implies that we should always consider the Triple Bottom Line which balances social, economic and environmental impacts and benefits. What are some of the basic tenets for choosing sustainable hardscape materials? Lisa Cowan, PLA, ASLA will share some insights from ongoing research and the Sustainable Sites Initiative which can inform landscape designers about how to approach the complex questions of site performance, life cycle impacts and tailoring your decisions to fit your project. See Lisa's bio below.
Panel Topics
- Landscape Materials
Moderated by Amanda Sloan, BETA Group, Inc.
Panelists: Kaki Martin, Klopfer Martin
Robert Uhlig, Halvorson Design Partnership
Evolving materials technology and an increased focus on life-cycle impact have led to alternative approaches to landscape products and processes. What do landscape professionals need to know to make better informed choices? How are others thinking holistically and creatively about sustainable design and land management to cost-effectively integrate sustainability and aesthetics? How do eco-sensitive products and design approaches incorporate reuse and recycling strategies? Is the value of green design changing in the market? Join our speakers to discuss the latest innovations, including a review of recent award-winning projects. - Permeable Hardscape Solutions
Moderated by Eden Dutcher, GroundView LLC
Panelists: Arek Galle, BETA Group, Inc.
Kris Houle, Horsley Witten Group
Gregg Novick, Stormcrete
Permeable pavement systems, including pervious concrete, porous asphalt, and permeable pavers, can be a cost effective way to manage stormwater runoff and create visually interesting paved surfaces. Each of these products offers unique opportunities and challenges. The proper selection and design of these different applications can seem like a daunting task. Which surface material is best suited for the project? What are the design considerations? Are there other options available? Can the functionality of these products be incorporated into aesthetic design goals? Join our speakers to discuss the latest applications and lessons learned from recent projects. - Landscape Lighting
Moderated by Tobias Wolf, Wolf Landscape Architecture
Panelists: Nancy Goldstein, Light Positive
Glenn Heinmiller, Lam Partners Inc. Architectural Lighting Design
Lukas Sturm, Lumen Studio
Landscape lighting can do more than make outdoor spaces safer and more inviting. Well-designed lighting systems can reveal hidden aspects of the landscape, and can use new technologies to improve energy efficiency and preserve dark skies. But are the newest products always the best? How much light is enough? As landscapes mature, can their lighting change too? And how do we weigh the trade-offs between efficiency, quality, cost, and durability? This panel discussion will review the latest light sources, including conventional incandescent, discharge lamps, and LED; investigate lighting methods that save energy and reduce light pollution, and explore integrated approaches to lighting design.
Wrap-up Keynote
Building the Ecological Landscape: Oyster Shell Park
Jesse Harris and Luke McCoy, landscape architects at BSC Group, tie it all together with an in-depth discussion on sustainable approaches to hardscape design and construction. Through the firms work on the award winning Oyster Shell Park, the presentation will explore materials, design and specification of such materials, and constructability. The focus will be around real world applications of the latest sustainable hardscape materials. Luke and Jesse will also share their lessons learned for other materials used within the firm's diverse project portfolio. (See bios below.)

You can't protect your loved ones from the emotional pain of your passing, but you can give them the opportunity to celebrate your life, knowing your final wishes were carried out as you planned.
Just as estate planning and creating a will are responsible decisions, planning your end-of-life services makes emotional and financial sense. It gives you the power to choose an ending that perfectly tells the story of your life. And most importantly, it helps your family.
In fact, end-of-life planning is one of the most caring gifts you can give your loved ones. Creating your plan provides your family with a clear picture of what you want for your end-of-life services, including burial or cremation, funeral and cemetery services and memorialization options so that they are not left wondering what you would have wanted.
Funeral planning doesn't have to be difficult. These tips should help.
4 steps to funeral planning:
Step 1: REFLECT on your end-of-life plan
While so many of us ask big questions about what happens to us when we die, we often forget to ask questions that will capture the way we lived and help our friends and family celebrate our life.
We sometimes think we've taken care of our final arrangements by indicating our preference of burial or cremation during family conversations. However, final arrangements can include much more than the decision of burial or cremation. Your end-of-life plan can include as many details of your final services as you would like to select.
To begin the planning process, take time to think about:
- The type of funeral and cemetery services that you would want to celebrate or otherwise memorialize your life.
- The tone and atmosphere of the services—are they somber? Traditional? Celebratory? Will they reflect your unique interests and personality?
- What will the experience be like for the guests in attendance?
Step 2: RECORD your end-of-life plan
Reflecting on your wishes for your final arrangements can help you begin to create your end-of-life plan. While telling your loved ones your choices is a good start, actually recording your wishes is the best way to ensure they will be carried out.
Whether they are on paper or stored electronically, your written wishes will allow your loved ones to act on your behalf. How much you record is up to you. But keep in mind, the more you plan, the more you help your family.
Just as you keep your will and financial documents updated, you should keep your end-of-life plan current as well. This ensures that your current preferences are reflected.
Step 3: SHARE your end-of-life plan
The 3rd step to planning your final arrangements is sharing your wishes with your loved ones. You may feel you are burdening your family by discussing your death, but in reality you are lightening their load and performing a selfless act.
Where to keep your funeral plans
Keep your funeral plans safe but accessible. It's a common mistake to store them in a safe deposit box. At the time of your death, a safe deposit box only in your name will not be accessible to others until the legal matters of your estate have been settled. This process may not be resolved until after your final arrangements are carried out.
Instead, there are several ways you can make your plans accessible. If you choose to keep your plans in a home filing cabinet with other important documents such as your will and advance directive, be sure to notify your family of that location. Another option is to send your end-of-life plans directly to the person or people responsible for handling your arrangements. If you have selected a funeral provider and made arrangements with them, the funeral provider also should keep your plans on file. You can ask the funeral provider to provide a copy of your plan to your loved ones.
Step 4: SUPPORT Your end-of-life plan with designated funds
Funding your funeral wishes by setting aside money to pay for your funeral and cemetery expenses also is an option—one you should examine closely with your financial adviser.
If you choose to do so, supporting your funeral and cemetery plans with designated funding provides 2 main benefits. First, funding your funeral and cemetery plans provides relief for your family. By relieving them of the need to gather money for your funeral or cemetery services at the time of your death, you may prevent creating additional stress for them at an already difficult time.
Secondly, funding your plans provides protection against inflation. Many funeral providers offer a price guarantee to individuals who fund their prearrangement. The price guarantee essentially locks in the funeral cost at today's prices so that you loved ones will not have to pay more for your selected merchandise and services at the time of your death.
Contact your funeral provider to learn more about the funding options they offer.
Your funeral, your way
When planning your funeral, the disposition of the body is often the first thing that comes to mind. You have many choices in deciding how your body will be handled after your death. Do you wish to be buried? Cremated? Entombed in a mausoleum? Have your cremated remains scattered at sea?
Depending on your preference, you'll want to make other important arrangements. Collectively, all of these decisions are part of your recorded end-of-life plan, designed to give you the funeral you want and to spare your loved ones from guesswork and additional stress.
Your funeral should celebrate your life—the way you want to be remembered. You may prefer a more traditional funeral aligned with certain religious or ethnic customs. Or, a celebration focusing on the great memories made with family and friends may be your preference. Maybe it is a combination of both. You can have one service, or several, to honor your life.
Listed below are some of the most common elements of funeral or memorial services. Reviewing these options may help you begin to reflect on what you want—the 1st step in creating your end-of-life plan.
Funeral service
A formal or informal ceremony or ritual prior to burial, a funeral service often provides a sense of closure to family and friends. Although your faith or culture may dictate some elements of a funeral service, you may want to personalize other elements of the service. At a funeral service, a casket or urn is present, though you may choose to have the casket open or closed.
Visitation, wake or viewing
Held the night before or immediately prior to the funeral service, the visitation—also called a wake or a viewing—provides a way for friends and acquaintances to pay respects and offer condolences to your family. As with the funeral service, you may want to decide if you want an open or closed casket should one be present.
Memorial or tribute service
At a memorial or tribute service, a casket or urn is usually not present. Otherwise similar to a funeral or visitation, a memorial service gives family and friends a time to come together in your memory and celebrate your life.
Graveside service
As its name implies, a graveside service may be held at the gravesite just prior to burial of a casket or urn and usually consists of final remarks, prayers or memories. The service may occur after or in place of a funeral service.
Considerations for any service
Regardless of the service or services you choose to include in your recorded end-of-life plan, you can personalize them in almost any way imaginable. For example, consider the following questions:
- Where should be funeral be held? At your place of worship? At the funeral home?
- Who should officiate the service?
- Will your service adhere to the traditions of your faith or culture?
- Do you want a eulogy, and who should deliver it?
- Would you like an open or closed casket?
- What music should be played?
- What readings would you like to have read?
- Is there a special poem you'd like shared with the guests?
- Are there any special photographs or other memorabilia you would like displayed?
- Should the décor reflect a particular hobby or interest of yours, such as fishing, gardening or music?
- Is there a particular emblem or engraving you want on your headstone?
- Should there be refreshments served or a more elaborate party held after the service?
Donating your body to science
If your choice is to donate your body to science, there are still funeral and memorialization options available to you. Check with the institution receiving your body to determine any restrictions regarding embalming and the timing of their receipt of your body. You may be able to have a traditional funeral service prior to the donation of your body. If it is not possible for your body to be present, consider a memorial service to bring closure to your loved ones by allowing them the opportunity to celebrate your life and your memory.
The institution you've selected to receive your body should also be able to tell you if and how your remains can be delivered to your loved ones after their research is complete. Traditional burial and memorialization of casketed or cremated remains, or other disposition of cremated remains, may still be available to you.
If donating your body to science is your choice, it's important to include that preference—and your funeral, memorial service or memorialization choices—in your end-of-life plan so your family can know and respect your wishes.
International transfer of your remains
You may wish for your final resting place to be in your homeland. Repatriation, or sending your body or cremated remains to another country, is a lengthy process. Permits, certificates and other documents are required and can take weeks to approve. Preplanning your funeral arrangements can help your family at the time of your death.
While each country has different policies, the documents that are generally required to transfer human remains include:
- a burial transmit permit from the state in which the death occurred
- a copy of the death certificate
- a notarized statement from a licensed embalmer
- a notarized statement from a doctor stating the person did not die of a communicable disease
- a certificate of cremation also may be required, in the case of transferring cremated remains
Your end-of-life plan is the right place to record your wishes should you want your body or cremated remains transferred to your native country. Sharing this preference with your loved ones allows them to help carry out your final wishes.
Start the planning process today
No matter what your wishes are, recording them and sharing them with your loved ones can not only help ensure that your end-of-life services are as you would have wanted, but also help ease the burden on your family and friends. Using the 4 step process of reflect, record, share and support, it's simple to begin your planning today.

If you're thinking of selling your house using owner financing, make sure you read this blog post to learn the 6 owner financing tips for sellers in Raleigh…
There are many ways to sell your house. You could list it on the market and see what sellers will pay. You could work with a real estate buying company (like what we do here at Easy Sale HomeBuyers) and get a fair all-cash offer, or you can consider owner financing and "be the bank" to sell your house to a buyer and collect payments over time.
Owner financing is a valuable but under-used strategy to sell your house. It's where you offer terms to the buyer to pay you regular payments (just like a mortgage). Here are 6 owner financing tips for sellers in Raleigh…
Owner Financing Tip #1: Don't Focus Only On Price
Price is just one component. Of course, you'll want to find a price that is fair for both of you but there are other considerations as well (which could benefit you more than the asking price).
Owner Financing Tip #2: Timeline
Think about the timeline you want to be paid in. Banks might offer 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25-year mortgages. Do you want to accept payments over that period of time? Your buyer will want to find a timeline that works for them, too: they might not want to be paying you 25 years down the road!
Owner Financing Tip #3: Terms
The terms of the deal are one of the most important yet most overlooked parts of the deal. The terms might include things like how much down payment you want if there's an early repayment penalty or a late payment penalty, and most important – how much interest you charge.
Owner Financing Tip #4: Protect Yourself
Even if you enter into an agreement with someone who is completely trustworthy, things could still go wrong – so make sure you protect yourself. For example, make sure you have insurance and the other person does as well for the various situations that could occur. And consider including a clause that retains the ownership of the house in your name until the house is fully paid.
Owner Financing Tip #5: Build Contingencies
Most of your owner financing agreement will be built around the "ideal plan" – of what would happen if everything goes perfectly. But sometimes things happen outside of our control, so building contingencies allow you to make better decisions if the unexpected happens. For example, what if the buyer no longer wants the house, or can longer pay, or wants to pay early, or wants to use the house in a different way than expected? Or what if your circumstances change and you no longer want to sell or you need to sell even faster? Agree to the contingencies with your buyer ahead of time and the arrangement will be so much smoother.
Owner Financing Tip #6: Get An Attorney
No matter how you ultimately structure your owner financing deal, make sure you work closely with an attorney who can help you. A poorly worded agreement could end up hurting you; an attorney can help.

Is It Time To Buy a Smaller Home In Connecticut
Is It Time To Buy a Smaller Home In Connecticut
Life events can have a major impact on what you need from your home, and retirement is one of the biggest changes many of us face. This period of your life can mean doing more of the things you enjoy, like traveling, visiting with loved ones, or taking on new hobbies. But what does that mean for your home?
If you're looking for ways to focus more on the important things in your life, the answer could be downsizing. A recent article from The Balance talks about why it could be a great option, saying:
"There are many reasons to buy a smaller home—or to downsize from your present home—but sometimes, the idea that "less is more" is what propels homeowners to buy a smaller home."
You Can Find the Right Home for Your Needs
The 2022 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) provides more information on why people of retirement age choose to move. It shows the need for a smaller home, the desire to be closer to loved ones, and retirement itself as three of the top reasons homebuyers over the age of 55 make a move.
If you're in this group, changing priorities may be top of mind for you today, and that could be driving your decision to downsize. After all, as your lifestyle changes, what you need in your home likely changes, too.
Plus, as The Balance notes, moving into a smaller home can open your schedule up even more. When you downsize, you can spend less time maintaining your home and more time with the people you love or exploring newfound hobbies. That's a recipe that can lead to less stress and increased happiness.
Your Equity Can Make a Big Impact When You Downsize
Home equity plays a big role when you sell your existing house and move. It could be a great tool to use to help you downsize. According to the latest Homeowner Equity Insights report from CoreLogic, the average homeowner gained about $55,300 in equity over the past 12 months. Dr. Frank Nothaft, Chief Economist at CoreLogic, explains how important price appreciation and equity gains are for existing homeowners:
"Home prices rose 18% during 2021 in the CoreLogic Home Price Index, the largest annual gain recorded in its 45-year history, generating a big increase in home equity wealth, . . . For low- and moderate-income homeowners, home equity has historically been a major source of wealth."
As home prices rise, your equity does, too. So, you may have more equity than you realize because of the record levels of home price appreciation over the past year. Those equity gains could allow you to make a larger down payment on your next home. And putting more money down can lead to a smaller monthly mortgage payment, which can give you greater financial freedom. It can also be a significant help in navigating today's competitive housing market, since offering more money up front could help your offer stand out.
Whatever your homeownership goals are, a trusted real estate advisor can help you to find the best option for your situation. They'll help you sell your current home and guide you as you buy your next one and enter this new phase of life.
Bottom Line
If you've recently retired or plan to soon, your needs are likely changing. That means now may be the perfect time to downsize. Let's connect so we can work together to find a home that matches your situation.
