Providing this level of service is an important strategic initiative for AGCO, but what matters the most is what our customers think. Here is what some growers are saying about their experiences with the Fuse Contact Center:
"When I call I get the same guy every time. So I don't have to go through the same story again."
-Terry H., Iowa, USA
"The Fuse Contact Center called me back in a couple days to make sure my problem was resolved!"
-Carl S., Arkansas, USA
"I needed help with settings on the GPS. They understood what I was talking about. Give it a try."
–Colin L., Ontario, Canada
The Fuse Contact Center is open seven days a week, nineteen hours a day. Customers can call toll-free within their local region and receive support in eleven languages. Live chat is also available.
The Fuse Contact Center is a key part of the Fuse Technologies strategy to provide growers with the expertise and answers to run their operation more efficiently. Visit AGCOtechnologies.com to view a complete list of regional toll free numbers, products and supported languages.
What is the EU doing to support farmers – Q & A With CEJA
In this month's regular column from CEJA (European Council of Young Farmers), President, Matteo Bartolini explains what the EU is doing to support farmers following the import ban by Russia on EU food products.
MF: Can you provide some background on the Russian ban on EU food products?
MB: On 6 August 2014, the Kremlin published a decree announcing a Russian embargo on a number of agricultural imports in response to EU punitive sanctions over Russia's actions in Ukraine. American, Norwegian, Canadian and Australian imports are faced with the same fate. Russia is the largest importer of EU agricultural produce with just under 10% of EU agri imports destined for the country. These imports were worth around €11 billion last year, half of which has now been banned by the Russians. The ban, which has been set for a year, will hit individual European farmers in particular, especially those who rely on export markets and who grow a small variety of produce. The ban will also hit Russian consumers with price hikes for certain products. The European Commission has been quick to try to support EU farmers with emergency measures. However, it is clear that funds available are simply not enough.
MF: What do these emergency measures include?
MB: The first measures outlined were to assist peach and nectarine producers and consisted of decreasing the volumes of fruit available on the market in an attempt to avoid plummeting prices.Extra funds are also being provided for promotion. Peach growers have been hit particularly hard. Indeed, such measures were already under discussion before the announcement of the Russian ban. The weather this year has contributed to an increase in supply but also a rapid advancement in maturity. This led to a much greater intensity of supply at the start of the season rather than a more even spread over the following weeks. Cooler and more humid conditions in June and July also slowed down consumption during this time. The budget for these measures is €29.7 million for withdrawals and €3 million for promotion, allocated to Italy, Spain, Greece and France on the basis of annual production.

Gold and Metals
What does the term "karat" mean in the jewelry world?
In the jewelry sector, unlike the diamond and gemstone sectors, the term "karat" [with a K] refers to a grading scale that measures the amount of pure gold contained in alloys, which are a mixture of two or more metals. In the jewelry making field, the number that appears next to the term "karat" denotes the purity grade of the gold. The highest purity grade on the scale is represented by the number 24, while the lowest gold grade is represented by the number 9. For example, when we say that a piece of jewelry is made from 18K gold, this means that 18 of the alloy's 24 parts are pure gold, or in other words – 75% pure gold.
What are the most common colors of gold in the jewelry industry?
Practically speaking, it's possible to create gold alloys in an exotic variety of colors. But the jewelry industry nevertheless continues to focus on three basic colors only: yellow, white, and red. The different colors are created when different amounts of copper, pure silver, zinc, and nickel are added to pure gold. You should keep in mind that in jewelry made from 18K gold the colors red and white don't show up because of the heavy presence of pure gold. This is the reason why 18K white gold is usually plated in rhodium.
What is rhodium plating?
Rhodium is a light silver-colored metal from the platinum family. Rhodium is used to plate gold jewelry, or parts of it, to give it a silvery shade or to highlight places set with gemstones. Rhodium's silvery color gives the piece of jewelry a sparkling, expensive appearance. However, because the rhodium plating technique doesn't allow for a thick layer, it tends to wear off relatively quickly in rings and bracelets. In this case, customers can contact a jeweler and ask that the rhodium plating be renewed.
How can I be sure that the jewelry I've just bought is really made from gold?
First of all, it's always advisable to buy jewelry from the manufacturer or a reliable store. Any jeweler can also conduct a basic test using an acid test kit. This test gives a very general answer, and to check absolutely, the jewelry should be sent to a lab for testing. A scientifically approved test can be run at companies that produce precious metals.

Why does platinum jewelry cost much more than gold jewelry?
There are a number of reasons for the high cost of platinum jewelry compared to gold jewelry:
1) Platinum is a much rarer metal than gold, and so its raw price is much higher
2) Only 5% copper is added to platinum to make jewelry, whereas gold is "watered down" by 25% or more
3) Platinum's specific gravity is 40% (!) heavier than a 14K gold alloy
The Stone Setter
What is the stone setter's role in preparing jewelry?
The stone setter's role is to fit the diamonds and gemstones to the metal of the jewelry. The setter uses the jewelry settings created by the jeweler and sets the diamonds or gemstones in them. The setting process is generally complicated, containing a number of steps: Fitting, assembly, setting, and finishing. There are also types of stone setting in which the setter creates the setting, and not the jeweler.
Enlarge | ||
Diamond manufacturing | ||
Is the setter responsible for the stone during the setting?
The setter is not responsible for the gemstones or diamonds during the setting process, whether it's a stone that costs a few dollars or a gem that costs thousands. This unwritten law, like many others in the world of diamonds and jewelry, is respected almost everywhere in the world. It comes from the fact that the setter has no control over the stone's seen or unseen stresses and cracks. It's unreasonable that the setter who earns less than a hundred dollars for setting a stone would have to compensate the owner thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. It's interesting to compare this rule to the diamond polisher's limited responsibility during polishing.

Okay, so the last time I offered ten reasons why so-and-so may be the future of something-or-other, my forecast came true. It was July 2010 and the fighter's name was Jon Jones. The 24-year-old New Yorker has since become UFC light-heavyweight champion and the most feared fighter on the planet. Although hardly the most out-of-left-field shot of all-time, I called his ascent to the top a year before he dethroned Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua and took the combat sports world by storm.
With Jones now secure as the UFC's premier 205 lb fighter, my attention turns to 22-year-old Rory MacDonald, a physical welterweight contender with the world at his feet. Interestingly, both Jones and MacDonald compete on the same event next weekend -- UFC 145 in Atlanta -- and, while the man known as 'Bones' may have already arrived as the best in his weight division, MacDonald is still in the process of making the climb.
I predict big things -- and here's why...
1) Dominated Carlos Condit for two rounds.
Yes, it's true, MacDonald has been beaten before, and beaten by the current UFC interim welterweight champion, no less. Hardly the sign of future champion, perhaps. Yet one must take into account the manner of the victory and the age at which MacDonald was stopped by Carlos Condit in June 2010. The Canadian, then only 20, dominated Condit for the majority of the fight, before succumbing to inexperience and finding himself badly positioned and stopped in the third and final round. Condit knew he'd been in a fight, though, and the the rest of us came to realise we'd seen the birth of a future fighting star.
2) He's gunning for revenge.
Despite what happened first time around, and the potential demons that may lurk as a result, MacDonald is desperate to reacquaint with Condit and right the wrongs of his sole pro loss. "Given our history, I can't see anything beyond a Condit rematch at this point in time," he told me. "I want that fight more than a title fight right now. I need that rematch to prove to myself and everybody else that what happened first time around was a mistake and that I am the better fighter. It has to happen."
MacDonald is fearless and talks with the confidence of a man that knows only a naïve mistake robbed him of victory in the pair's initial clash. That makes him a scary proposition for any 170-lb'er, let alone former foe Condit.
3) He's sure of himself.
Of course, since beating MacDonald in 2010, Albuquerque's Condit has gone on to even greater things, knocking out Dan Hardy and Kim Dong-Hyun in first round finishes and then outscoring Nick Diaz to lift the UFC interim title. This hasn't quelled MacDonald's confidence in any way, shape or form, however, and has instead opened his eyes up to just how soon a title could be strapped around his own waist. "If Condit and Diaz fought me the way they fought each other, it would not be a good night for either them, I'm certain of that," said MacDonald. "Yes, I know they can improve and I know they have both fought much better in the past, but, as far as I'm concerned, you've got to try and show your best each and every time you step into that Octagon. I rate Nick and Carlos highly, but I don't think they really brought it that night. It didn't feel like I was watching a championship fight."
4) He schooled Nate Diaz and Mike Pyle.
MacDonald hasn't been without standout wins of his own since losing to Condit, either. He has beaten both Nate Diaz and Mike Pyle in stunning fashion, and both performances hinted at a ridiculous rate of improvement. After all, how many other fighters throw Diaz around like a rag doll with complete disregard for his high-level submission game? MacDonald did, and he made it look easy. Pyle went the same way, too, only he wasn't able to last the distance with the heavy-handed Canadian. The veteran American was halted inside the first round under a barrage of strikes and the defeat marked the end of a three-fight unbeaten run. MacDonald barely broke a sweat.
5) The bigger, the better.
Maturing and growing at a rapid rate, MacDonald isn't sure where he'll end up and can't be certain just how big and strong he will eventually get. A welterweight for the time being, MacDonald admits he wouldn't be scared about dipping his toes into the water at middleweight, light-heavyweight or even heavyweight. No, really. "I'm not scared to move up in weight," he said. "By the time my career is over, I'd like to say that I'd competed at welterweight, middleweight, light-heavyweight and even heavyweight. I'd love to do something like that. The bigger, the better."
Fearless, indeed.
6) Trains at the Tri-Star gym.
As far as training camps go, one could do a lot worse than spend eight weeks at Montreal's Tri-Star gym. This is the gym in which MacDonald prepares for fights and one that has served him well since losing to Condit in 2010. Headed up by Firas Zahabi, the current set-up means MacDonald spends valuable mat time with the likes of Georges St-Pierre, Kenny Florian, David Loiseau, Denis Kang and Miguel Torres, among many others. If competition breeds success, MacDonald is in good company at this vital juncture in his career.
7) GSP is one of his best friends.
Who wouldn't want Georges St-Pierre as one of their closest friends? MacDonald boasts this, and is also in an ideal position to use the French-Canadian as a regular training partner. Not bad for a man looking to one day become the 'Next GSP' and lift the world welterweight title. "You pick up so much experience from just talking to guys like Georges," said Rory. "He talks to me about how he prepares, how he deals with nerves and everything else in between. No question is unanswered and it's all a huge benefit for me. Georges is like no other training partner. He is not only very accommodating and personable, but he also happens to be the best fighter on the planet. You couldn't ask for a better guy to show you the ropes. I now know that in order to reach the level Georges is at right now I have to do everything he does and more. He's an amazing person and one of my best friends."
It seems Georges St-Pierre is teaching Rory MacDonald to be just like him. Welterweights, beware.
8) He is just 22 years of age.
Did I mention MacDonald is only 22 years of age? No? Yes? Well, he is. And that means he is eight years younger than the current world welterweight champion St-Pierre , and even two years younger than Jon Jones, the supposed future of mixed martial arts. To say MacDonald has time on his side would be to say Chris Leben takes a good shot to the chin. MacDonald is already in the upper echelons of the welterweight division, yet has a heap of time to play with.
9) But far from inexperienced...
Although 22, MacDonald made his pro MMA debut way back in 2005, defeating Terry Thiara by first round submission. That would have made him just 16 years of age the night he made mincemeat of a veteran opponent. Since then he has won 11 of 12 pro contests and risen to his current position of UFC contender. When he joined the UFC in 2010, MacDonald was the youngest fighter on the entire roster. If you haven't twigged it by now, the Canadian is a young phenom, a kid trained to fight and representative of the next breed of fledgling mixed martial artist.
10) He wins by any means.
With five knockouts and six submissions to his name, MacDonald can destroy you however he sees fit. Heavy-handed and aggressive on his feet, he will beat you up and knock you out standing, or, alternatively, take you down and either ground-and-pound or submit you on the floor. Either way works. He also has a tendency to find a finish in fights, and has only ever gone to decision once, in that breakthrough win against Diaz last year. The youngster sees no point in hanging around.
UFC 145 takes place on April 21 and will be broadcast on pay-per-view.

Parish Lunches
As the name implies, our core activity is the preparation of Parish Lunches. In recent years these have been held on our Patronal Festivals - the celebrations of the Church's dedicated Saint - the Conversion of St Paul in late January and the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul in late June.
In addition, we have regularly prepared a Parish Lunch on the Feast of Christ the King, the Sunday before Advent begins, which has always seemed appropriate to us for what used to be referred to as 'Stir-up' Sunday!
There may not be Christmas pudding but a good warming meal is provided and received. Apart from the lunches, the Group also has responsibility for the great institution of Parish Breakfast after the Easter Vigil Mass (so many eggs, so little time, so early in the morning!!). We also seek to provide a little light refreshment on the 'pink' Sundays, third in Advent and fourth in Lent, where an appropriately Rose wine lifts the spirits of all.
The Group includes a number of members who have the essential food hygiene training and certificates, and who can assist with catering at other OSP events. That is, however, strictly according to availability, and enquiries need to be made well in advance of any planned event.

Seven-nation talks on a deal meant to start a rollback of Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief were delayed Thursday as senior envoys from both sides wrestled with a draft they hoped would be acceptable to both Tehran and its six world powers negotiating with it.
Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi suggested that the momentum characterizing much of a previous round had been slowed, as top EU diplomat Catherine Ashton sat down with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to discuss the draft.
As the two broke for lunch, Zarif said the two were discussing "details and wording" of the document but pointed to what his country sees as a potential problem ahead.
"We expect the West to have a united stance over [the] draft," he told Iranian state TV, alluding to what Iran says were complications to reaching a first-step deal at the last round earlier this month because of differences among the six world powers.
Oil sanctions would not be lifted
Araghchi suggested those differences had set back the talks, telling The Associated Press: "What we are trying now is to rebuild confidence that we lost in the previous round of negotiations."
He spoke of some unspecified "misunderstanding or ... mismanagement in the previous round" and of the "difficult job" of trying to bridge differences.
He also said talks have included possible ways to reduce sanctions on Iranian oil sales and banking. The U.S. and its partners have spoken of offering some financial concessions, such as unfreezing Iranian bank accounts from previous oil sales.
If the talks produce a deal to freeze Iran's nuclear efforts, negotiators will pursue a more comprehensive agreement that would ensure that Tehran's program is solely for civilian purposes. Iran would get some sanctions relief under such a first-step deal, without any easing of the harshest measures — those crippling its ability to sell oil, its main revenue maker.
Details of sanctions relief being discussed have not been revealed. But a member of the U.S. Congress and legislative aides on Wednesday put the figure at $6 billion US to $10 billion US, based on what they said were estimates from the U.S. administration.
The aides and the member of Congress demanded anonymity because they weren't authorized to divulge the estimate publicly.
Iran willing to curb uranium enrichment
A member of the Iranian delegation said his country recognizes that core oil and banking sanctions could not be lifted immediately but suggested Iran was looking for some relief in those sectors over the six-month time-frame of a first-step agreement.
He also indicated that Iran was ready to discuss a limit on its uranium enrichment — which can create both reactor fuel and the core of nuclear warheads. But he suggested that Iran wants at least indirect mention of Tehran's insistence that it has a right to uranium enrichment — something the United States and its allies have resisted.
Iran has suggested it could curb its highest-known level of enrichment — at 20 per cent — in a possible deal that could ease the U.S.-led economic sanctions.
But Iranian leaders have made clear that their country will not consider giving up its ability to make nuclear fuel — the centrepiece of the talks since the same process used to make reactor stock can be used to make weapons-grade material.
Warnings from Iran's supreme leader that his country's readiness for compromise has its limits added to the sense of some work ahead. The tough talk reflected the tensions from nearly a decade of negotiations that have begun to make headway only recently.
Israel wants complete dismantling of facilities
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's top lead leader, voiced support for the talks Wednesday but insisted there are limits to what Tehran will deal away at the negotiating table. He blasted Israel as "the rabid dog of the region" — comments rejected by French President François Hollande as "unacceptable."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in Moscow to meet with President Vladimir Putin, renewed his demand for a full stop to all Iranian nuclear programs that could be turned from peaceful uses to making weapons.
Israel wants a settlement that is "genuine and real," he said.
"Israel believes that the international community must unequivocally ensure the fulfillment of the UN Security Council's decisions so that uranium enrichment ends, centrifuges are dismantled, enriched material is taken out of Iran and the reactor in Arak is dismantled," Netanyahu said, referring to Iran's plutonium reactor under construction.
He urged the world to see the "real Iran." That, he said was not a YouTube message from Zarif saying Iran wanted peace but Khamenei calling Jews "rabid dogs."
"They must not have nuclear weapons," he told a gathering of Russian Jews. "And I promise you that they will not have nuclear weapons."

Earnhardt enjoying progress made with Letarte
March 07, 2011, David Caraviello, NASCAR.com
You can hear it in his voice. You can see it in his face, and in the results on the scoring tower. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is having fun again. "I'm happy. It's a fun team, a great group of guys," he said. "I'm proud to be a part of it, and hope I can keep working well and keep doing well." "I'm happy. It's a fun team, a great group of guys. I'm proud to be a part of it, and hope I can keep working well and keep doing well." --DALE EARNHARDT JR. He had good reason to feel that way Sunday, when Earnhardt turned in his third consecutive solid effort to start the season, an eight-place result at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Earnhardt ran as high as fourth late in the event, but got stuck behind several cars that took two tires on their final pit stops, and then had his No. 88 get tight in the final laps of the race. Even so, the performance follows a 10th-place run at Phoenix, and a Daytona 500 where he was among the leaders late before a cut tire ruined his day. Working with new crew chief Steve Letarte, Earnhardt has now recorded back-to-back top-10s for the first time since New Hampshire and Daytona in the middle of last season, and he stands 10th in Sprint Cup points -- the highest he's been since he was eighth after Talladega last spring. Perhaps most importantly, Earnhardt continues to show signs that he's capable of ending a winless streak that now stands at 96 events. And he's clearly enjoying the process. "We're just doing what we're supposed to do, I reckon. We didn't have too bad a car in practice and I just didn't nail it in qualifying. ... But I guess the best thing that we did all day long was the adjustments. I kept telling Stevie what I thought I needed and what the car felt like it was doing wrong, and he was hitting on it every time. We were kind of working together on some ideas and we hit on one idea that was really good and it really woke the car up," Earnhardt said. "We decided to take four [tires] at the end, and I'll back Stevie's call there. It might have cost us a spot in hindsight, but we just need to run good and get good finishes under our belt and keep their confidence and keep my confidence up. Midway through the race was the first time in a long time I actually was feeling like I could beat them guys, you know? That I was around. It gave me a lot of confidence [Sunday]; we just need to keep doing that." Car owner Rick Hendrick paired Earnhardt and Letarte in an offseason personnel shuffle because he thought Letarte's penchant for keeping his driver upbeat and confident could help a driver who's struggled since joining NASCAR's top organization. Sunday, Letarte was at his best. "Come on, buddy. You're absolutely doing great," he told Earnhardt as the driver tried to gain positions in the final laps. That relationship extends off the track, and goes in both directions. Earnhardt and Letarte -- who won 10 races with Jeff Gordon before being moved to the No. 88 team in November -- met Saturday night with team engineers to discuss what changes to make to the car for the race. "It's fun in this hauler, man," Earnhardt said. "When you're running good, everything is easier to do. But I really enjoy brainstorming with Steve, and I think having worked with him, I've become better at helping him just in a short period of time. But it's fun to brainstorm with and work with him, and I just want to do good." Earnhardt can sense he's making progress, which for him is paramount. He's on his third crew chief since joining Hendrick Motorsports prior to the 2008 season. If it doesn't work with Letarte, he's not sure where he might turn next. "Failure at this point is completely unacceptable, and I've got to put it all out on the line and do everything I can to make this work," he said. "If it don't work with [Letarte], I got nowhere else to go. I got no other options, really other than just to race myself into oblivion with my own team and Tony [Eury] Jr. and them guys. But I want this to work. I want to be in a [Cup car] the rest of my career as long as I can, and I want to be successful, and so I'm just trying to work hard, man. We're getting better. It feels like it's working."

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — Inbee Park might not be on the cusp of history if not for her struggles with her driving.
After winning the 2008 U.S. Women's Open, Park went more than four years before her next victory. She kept pushing her tee shots right, but she figures that's why her short game got so good.
It's carried her all the way to a No. 1 ranking. Park has won the first two majors of the year and her last two tournaments.
"I was just hitting it everywhere. I had to get it up and down from everywhere," Park said.
At this week's U.S. Women's Open at Sebonack Golf Club on Long Island, Park will seek to become the only player to win the first three majors of the year when there were at least four majors in a season.
She'll take on a course hosting its first major. Sebonack, designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Doak, opened in 2006 with views of the Great Peconic Bay. Its big bunkers and undulating greens offer a links-style challenge. The fairways are broad, but just landing the ball in them may not do much good; placement could be crucial.
"It feels like the last few U.S. Opens, it's all been how straight you can drive the ball, and that is kind of who has won the tournament," said second-ranked Stacy Lewis. "So I like this year that you don't have to drive it perfect off the tees, but you've got to play smart into the greens."
Park has relied on her clutch putting to win five times already this season and seven of her last 23 starts dating to last year. She suspects her strong short game was the one silver lining to her longtime struggles off the tee. She estimates she was missing nine or 10 greens per round, so she spent a lot of time trying to save par.
Her drives straightened out, Park has gone from saving pars to making birdies.
Some of her struggles were bad habits, but some of it was undoubtedly pressure. She remembers how she would spend much of Thursday and Friday worrying about whether she'd make the cut. If she hit a bad shot, she'd immediately start fretting about carding a bogey. After becoming the youngest U.S. Women's Open champ at age 19, she didn't win again until last July's Evian Masters.
"When you don't know how to handle the pressure, it's not a good feeling at all," she said. "Your heart's pumping; you think all the negative things."
Working with a mental coach, she's learned how to empty her head of those thoughts. Away from the course, it's easy to relax.
Park's fiance travels with her on tour, and she has friendly rivalries with fellow players like defending U.S. Women's Open champion Na Yeon Choi.
After Park won the LPGA Championship earlier this month, the two South Koreans took some time off at Choi's home in Orlando. They made kimchee soup and Korean barbeque, played tennis and went bowling.
"I think she's really comfortable with her life right now," Choi said. "I think she's very happy. She never thinks negatively. Everything is thinking positively."
Park returned to competition to take another title at the NW Arkansas Championship last week. Mickey Wright in 1964 is the only player to win the U.S. Women's Open after victories in her previous two tournaments.
Choi's title last year started a streak of four straight major championships by South Koreans. An American hasn't won a major since Lewis at the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship, a drought of nine tournaments.
Two-time champ Juli Inkster, who turned 53 on Monday, will be playing on a special exemption in her 34th U.S. Women's Open, which breaks the record held by Marlene Hagge.
Tournament officials will keep a close eye on the weather report, with strong winds expected, to decide on pin placement. Sebonack may be new to golf majors, but the challenges from the local conditions are well known. When neighboring Shinnecock Hills hosted the 2004 U.S. Open won by Retief Goosen in the wind, nobody broke par in the final round.
"I think this course, par is your friend," said Yani Tseng, who has five major titles but has yet to win a U.S. Women's Open.
Park predicted a few three-putts, knowing players will need to stay patient and calm. She's been doing that better than anyone lately.
"I'm trying to enjoy where I am," Park said, "and trying to keep this going as long as I can."

Fritule is a traditional Croatian doughnut-like sweet pastry commonly served at Christmas time. The pastry is almost similar to the Italian Zeppole. Not much is known about the actual history of the fritters but these round balls are quite common in Europe in many different forms. In Italy, the same sweet leavened dough balls are called as fritole, frittelle, fritella, or fritle. In Milan, the fritter is referred to as Chiacchiere while in Liguria; the same fritter is referred to as Bugie. In other parts of Italy like the Marche region, the fritule is called Sflappe, Zeppole, or Frappe.
Ingredients and Preparation
Leavened dough is prepared by beating the hot water into a yeast, sugar, flour and vanilla mixture to make firm dough. More sugar, brandy, plum liqueur, vanilla, raisins and nutmeg may be added to the dough mixture. a few recipe variations also use boiled potatoes, lemon rind, orange rind, nutmeg, vanilla bean, rum, grappa, sultanas and rum to flavor the dough. The kneaded dough is then allowed to rise. Round fritters are then deepfried in hot oil and served warm.
The fritters are served warm with jam or cream with icing sugar dusted on top. Dried figs and rakija or grape brandy are served alongside.

Susannah W. Cary ring, Houlton, ca. 1840
Contributed by Maine Historical Society
Susannah W. Cary of Houlton, wife of prominent lumber dealer and civic leader Shepard Cary, owned this gold filigree ring with an emerald stone.
Cary appears to be wearing the ring in a portrait of her that Albert Tracy painted in 1840.
The ring probably was made in England and details suggest it was made after 1830.
Susannah Whitaker, who was from New Salem, Massachusetts, married Shepard Cary Dec. 25, 1832. It is possible the ring was her wedding ring.

Stock Market Dips Under 10,000
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
The Dow Jones industrial average closed under 10,000 today, for the first time since February.
Stocks were actually up most of the day, sailing on optimistic U.S. economic reports. But in the last hour of trading, the euro slid down, amid news that China may consider reducing its investment in European government bonds. The Dow lost 69 points to close at 9,974.
Investors have been looking at the euro as a measure of the European debt crisis, and the market has been swinging as the currency rises and falls. The Dow has fallen about 11 percent in the last month.

2B Or Not 2B, that is the pencil: poem but not Shakespeare
Here's a short poem I wrote.
2B Or Not 2B
2B or not 2B
That is the pencil
Whether it is
Nobblier in the line to
Scuff the springs and marrows
Of outmoded pictorial representation,
Or to take snaps upon the digital?
To sketch up the dawn of a rosy hue
Or to take lines of sea and rubble
And by Photoshopping them, amend them?
To scumble the surface no more
But open a window on the world.
Depths and planes,
Impasto and light.
What The Fuck!
(written May 2009)

Tablescape Thursday...or...A Sunny Spring Tablescape
This week I am trying something a little different...I am mixing some apple green with my usual blue and white plates to add a little feeling of Spring!
I am also showing you my tablescape at a different time of day! My dining room has a huge palladian window that faces west and lets the sun pour in on my table...
...so when the shadows started creeping across the tablescape, I decided to take advantage of it!
Unfortunately, my co-host Baby Kitty was too busy enjoying the beautiful afternoon to come indoors, so I am left to host alone!
First, I am sure you have noticed that some of those Pier 1 bunnies on a stick have jumped onto the table to enjoy the sunshine! They have been very busy hopping from blog to blog and leaving a trail of little bunnies as they go!! It seems that my blog is no exception! They are nesting in some little pots that were a gift from a friend!
I also found these wonderful green bubble glass goblets at Pier 1 in the clearance aisle for only $2.00 each! I love the way the sun shines through them and leaves a sparkly green shadow on the table!
I am using my mom's Silver Flutes flatware from Towle once again. I love its simplicity!
I found the blue and white plates at a little shop in Duluth, Georgia, several years ago. I love the fact that they don't match. There are actually four different patterns, but they all have the same lacy shape.
Here's another one! Each plate has a little white circle in the center that seemed to be begging for a bright green pear!
And still another...this one is my favorite!
And finally the last one. Don't you love the effect of the afternoon sun pouring in across the pear and the plate?
Here's a better look at the bunny and his little pot. Can you see the sweet blue birds in the design? I was never quite sure what to do with the pots, but now I believe they have found their calling!
At the center of the table is this unusual pumpkin-shaped tureen that I found in a little restaurant called Blue Luna Café in Grayton Beach, Florida. I was having breakfast at a table right next to the tureen and it was for sale!! Needless to say, it left the restaurant with me! I am really glad that it did, because, sadly, the restaurant has since closed.
You have probably already noticed that I have two pairs of the famous blogger birdie salt and pepper shakers from Target...only $5.00 a pair! Someone should be getting a commission on the sale of these to bloggers!!! They are perched next to their nest, which is full of malted milk ball eggs. The eggs never made it to the hatching stage...yum! The little plate is a lace doily plate from Pier 1 also!
I carried my blue, white and green color scheme over to the hutch as well by adding fresh Granny Smith apples...a decorator's best friend... and some Lindt Lindor truffles in spring green wrappers! The beautiful basket is another gift from my dear friend Marty at A Stroll through Life who sent me a whole box full of wonderful surprises!
Coffee and dessert will be served from the buffet. There's my coffee butler that I resurrected from the thrift shop and my Wedgwood Queensware china.
This blue and white bunny decided to rest on the cake plate until the cake arrives! The plate was another flea market find.
So there you have it...my sunny Spring tablescape in blue, white and green! I hope you like it! Be sure to visit Susan to continue your tour de tablescapes and to have a look at her beautiful blog! See you next time!

ReplyDeleteThe spring green touches with your blue and white are just THE BEST! I LOVE the green bubble glasses from Pier 1 - what a find. Also love the blue & white plates from Duluth, Ga...( we honeymooned in Duluth, Minnesota) I can just imagine the western sun casting it's glow on your table. All is well!
ReplyDeleteDebbie ~ I ADORE the look of apple green with Blue & White! Thank you for the inspiration ~ as I have a great fondness for blue and white.
Love your little topiaries, and all of your attention to the special details. Very nice!
You're invited to come on over to my house when you have a moment. xo~m.What a fresh and pretty table with those green pears! I love the green and blue together but my absolute favorite has to be those blue pots! I love those! Isn't it fun when we find pretty things that we can use in our tablescapes! Beautiful job.
P.S. The little bunny on the pretty cake plate looks pretty sweet as well!Love your blue and white table -- with the green it is perfect! But I think blue and white goes with any color! A very pretty table -- love the centerpiece (actually, I covet the centerpiece!) Love the sun and shadows as well. And I almost, yes, almost bought that very same rabbit -- but I resisted -- after all I have LOTS of rabbits and thought I didn't need another.
ReplyDeleteCute! Cute! Cute! I love the freshness of the blue and green, Debbie. Such a cute spring tablescape!
And I love the fact that we all have the Target birds, the bunnies on a stick, and you and I have one more thing in common... that bunny box on your cake stand! I keep thinking that we could have the most marvelous party ever with pooled all of our stuff! LOL!
Love to you. Still on break, but will be back soon (I think)...
Sheila :-)Good Morning Debbie...
Girlfriend, I love that pretty green with your blue & white dishes...it's a beautiful color combination! And those plates...ohhh my, I absolutely adore them...all of those pretty lacy edges...they're just gorgeous! Your new green bubble goblets are pretty...they're perfect with the green of the tablescape! I always just take a long look and savor the moment...looking at all of your pretty dishes...and that pumpkin shaped tureen is so pretty! Well my friend, I see that the bunny topiary has found his way to your home...isn't he darling? I'm still waiting for him to get to my place...I need a couple of those cute bunnies too! hehe!
Thanks for coming by and taking a peek at my "Brume de Rose" tablescape. I hope that I didn't butcher the French language to badly...please, always correct me when I'm wrong! I'd love to learn more of that beautiful language!
Love ya,

So very pretty... love the tablescape, the green makes it pop!! Thanks for sharing! ~Katy
ReplyDelete Oh, my heart skipped a beat when your header appeared on my screen. Blue & white, quimper, provincal blue & yellow prints, deviled egg plate...be still my heart.
Love the apple green with your blue and white. The flying bunnies look teriffic in your blue pots. I need to check out those $2 green bubble glasses at Pier 1.Hi Debbie, what's not to love about your tablescape! First I love blue and white but when paired with green...well, that's inspiration! I collect bunnies so it was a treat to see your little bunnies scampering across the table and the blue and white bunny watching over the buffet. Baby Kitty is lucky he is able to be outside enjoying the sun, remember the freaky snow storn not too long ago!
Have a lovely day!Hi Debbie...nice placesetting.

Hi Debbie,
As always your tablescape is just perfection, it is so pretty. The blue dishes are so perfect for you. Your dining room looks just beautiful. Adding the pop of the green color {pears and bunnies} is outstanding. Also love your choice of music.
Your MiCasa Friend,
Pat Debbie I checked every bit of this gorgeous tablescape out early today and forgot to comment...I'm back.
It's so fresh and Spring like.
Love the Green mixed in with the Blue and whites. precious bunnies on a stick too!
I forgot to tell you that we went to Chilis and had the nachos!
You inspired me my friend.
You're right, they are awesome!
Have a wonderful weekend.
~Melissa :)
Baby Kitty is a doll!Gosh,I do hope I can remember everything.For starters,I love your new header featuring your new pitcher.It looks awesome.
I love the green with the blue and the play with the light.Thats the way my breakfast table is as you know.The sun dances across it all during the day.
That tureen.We need to talk.You have 2,I have none.Just kidding,I'll find one asap.And those plates.I love them.They are dy-no-mite----------------.
You my dear have got the touch....annYes! I can finall comment again, and just in time. I think this might be the prettiest tablescape this week, and one of the prettiest ones you have done.
So I have decided to have an event next week called "Share Your Bunny on a Stick Pics." How fun would that be? They are so, so cute!
I just wanted to tell you when the birds started chirping, Baby Lily perked right up and was looking around. It sounded like a dinner bell to her I think. :-D
Its so good to be able to "talk" to you again here, my friend. Have a great weekend!Hi Debbie...love your spring tablescape! I love blue and green together! Your plates are gorgeous, as is the tureen! It cracks me up every time I see those little white bird S&P's. I think everyone has them...so cute and what a fantastic price. :-)
Love how you coordinated your hutch with your table...great TT post! Susan
Oh, almost forgot...I love the shadows from the sun...isn't it just magical! Great pics!Debbie, this is beautiful. Those lacy edged plates are soooo pretty, and I love the addition of the green. (I just bought some of the bunnies on a stick today!) Yours look so cute in those pretty pots. Love that elegant blue and white covered dish in the center of the table. You are definitely a girl after my heart. I always love what you do. laurie
ReplyDeletePuff! Puff! I thought I was NEVER going to reach the bottom of this list of comments. LOL..and I get all excited when I reach ten now and then. So...ok..the reason I decided to climb down here is because I have a question and it's this. WHERE do you store all your things for these gorgeous tablescapes you do?! I would love to do one..but haven't the faintest idea ..well..ok yes..I DO know where to start..but..it just must take some sort of practice to get so all fired good at it as you are! Absolutely lovely!! It is always amazing what you do. The bunnies on sticks.. :) I mean things like that!! So..anyway...where does it all go? :)
p.s. You cannot possibly read all of these. I knew it when I wrote it..but..hey..thought I would throw in my hat. :)- Linda from GeorgiaMarch 29, 2009 at 2:59 PM
Debbie, first time I visited your blog. Are you listed as an ENABLER? I thought I had my addiction under control until I saw those awesome blue scalloped plates. I NEED to go on the hunt again. After seeing some of your lovely collection, I realized how much I missed searching for the new and different. Thanks -- I think.
ReplyDelete I love Your tablescape. The dishes all are so pretty! I love the green with with them. All are just beautiful! I missed Kitty not on the tabelscape. I love your dining room. I have been fighting adding blue to my dining room I love blue and have given in for it is calling my name. I decided to use my 20 + yards of blue toile. Love all your wonderful finds. I never like lime green, I bought napkins in the color. Found a frog, same color! Now I wanting to use it, my daughter love it always. She going to be shocked. lol Or ready to steal my lime green. I need your stemware. lol Just love it.
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment! I appreciate my wonderful readers!... Debbie

Hi All,
Was hoping you could share your extensive knowledge and throw some recommendations my way. I'm not an expert so you'll have to use layman terms. :-)
I'm in the market for a new pair of IEMs. Budget would be limited to the $200 mark. An iPhone remote is now a must for me.
I mostly listen to metal and hip-hop.
Last pair I had was the Westone UM1 which, to my untrained ears, sounded quite clear but lacked any type of wow factor. I'm hoping by spending a little more money to see an improvement.
Two IEMs I can easily access where I'm at are the B&W C5 and the Monster Gratitude. Would either of those fit the bill and if so which one would you go for? Or neither?
Thank you all in advance. I really value your feedback, cheers!

I've banked with Chase since I started at Forbes 10 years ago. For the most part I've had few complaints. The staff is always polite and courteous, and they've alerted me when I've had fraudulent charges.
When I went in to my local branch to deposit a check recently, one of the bankers approached me about getting overdraft protection for my debit card.
The pitch went like this: Let's say I'm at a store and I go up to the cashier to pay for my items with my debit card. And since I haven't been tracking my spending, when the clerk swipe my card, it's been declined. How embarrassing! But if I sign up for overdraft protection, for a $39 fee, my purchase would be covered.
Without thinking too much, I told the clerk to "sign me up."
I have a pretty good gut, and when I go against it, it usually costs me money or my pride. Still, I have occasionally been talked into doing the wrong thing.
Becoming a Mary Kay saleswoman (I was my only customer); buying a car because it was the same make as the car a guy I wanted to date owned (he went out with someone else); dyeing my hair "auburn," which instead turned my hair purple with hot pink spots (I was dubbed "the Easter Egg" for obvious reasons).
Truth is, it's been many years since I've overdrawn my checking account, and there's little likelihood it's going to happen now. So it's no wonder I felt a bit uneasy afterward, as if I'd been pressured into buying something I didn't really want or need.
So I decided I should take a measured look and see if overdraft protection makes sense–even for someone like me who wouldn't normally rely on it.
It doesn't. For anyone.
See also ForbesWoman's blog, Work In Progress
You essentially have to add $39 into each purchase, so if you're buying a $70 dress and lack the funds to pay for it now, the real price of it is $109.
And if you don't put the entire amount back into your account right away, you'll end up paying a far heftier interest rate than if you'd used a credit card.
Right now some banks automatically sign their customers up for overdraft protection. Thankfully, on July 1 a new federal rule will go into effect that requires banks to not charge overdraft fees unless their customers specifically opt in for overdraft protection.
Either way, there are cheaper ways to get the equivalent of overdraft protection.
First, you can sign up for free e-mails or other alerts from your bank that will tell you when you're getting close to running out of money in your checking account.
Second, some banks will allow you to link your checking and savings accounts so if your debit card runs short, the bank will automatically transfer funds from savings to cover the expense.
And for some individuals–myself not included, as I don't own a home–your bank can tap into your home equity line of credit if your accounts fall short.
Since I haven't bounced any checks since my 20s (and yes, that shows my age on two levels) I really don't need overdraft protection.
And even if I were to go on some wild spending spree–the likelihood of which is about the same as my getting pregnant at 50–it still isn't in my best interests to have overdraft protection.
I think I'll head over to bank and say, "thanks, but no thanks."

Sunday, May 12, 2013 Maddog Returns!!
I wasn't sure I would ever be sending out race results ever again? I ignored several cardiologists who kept telling me that I COULD NOT and SHOULD NOT ever run a marathon again.
After 8 months of sabbatical from running to recover from 3 cardioversions and one ablation procedure and months of treatment with several toxic drugs to force the auto immmune disease (UC) into remission I was finally able to run the inaugural St Kitts Marathon in Basseterre, St Kitts (Caribbean) on May 12.
The course was hilly and tough and the weather was brutally HOT and I was out on the course for a PW (Personal Worst) of 5:27 but I did finish the race.
Marathon # 361 and Country # 116 – the new World Record.
A detailed race report to follow.
