Nutritional value in vegetable preparation
Dear Donovan,
How much nutritional value is lost from cooking vegetables? Would it be better to eat raw vegetables? What about vegetables in a can? I know it's not advised to eat vegetables like kale raw, so how can I have it without losing the nutrients? What vegetables should never be eaten raw?
Vegetables are packed with large amounts of fibre, vitamins, minerals, as well as beneficial plant substances. Vegetables are therefore perfect for meeting nutritional needs without a large number of extra calories. Some studies have shown that some vitamins, especially the B vitamins, as well as vitamin C, either lose or reduce value significantly during cooking in water. These nutrients are usually leached into the water. The higher the temperature used and the longer the cook time, the more nutrients might be lost from the vegetables. It is suspected that at least 30 per cent of water soluble vitamins can be lost by cooking the vegetables. In addition, studies have shown that many minerals — potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, manganese and copper — have been decreased up to 70 per cent by cooking vegetables. The biggest loss of these minerals happens when the vegetables are squeezed out after boiling.
In addition, some enzymes as well as other helpful chemicals present in vegetables are also destroyed during cooking. For example, allicin, the antibacterial chemical found in garlic, can be destroyed by cooking. I always say that cooked vegetables act like a mop and raw vegetables act like a broom.
It would be good if the same water used to cook the vegetables is kept and used as a base for soups and stews.
However, cooking some vegetables actually increases the bioavailability of some nutrients like Vitamin A, calcium, iron and some antioxidants. Cooking actually helps to break down the vegetables, allowing the nutrients to be more readily absorbed. Also, from a food safety standpoint, vegetables can sometimes become contaminated with microorganisms and cooking will kill the microorganisms.
Vegetables like kale contain many healthy and beneficial nutrients. However, when eaten raw, kale can inhibit the uptake of iodine by the thyroid gland. This can lead to a hormone imbalance. In addition, kale also contains oxalic acid which can bind with minerals such as calcium and magnesium in the body and cause them to crystalise. This can result in tissue damage. The best way to avoid this is to boil the kale for about seven minutes in water and squeeze the water out.
There are some other vegetables that should not be eaten raw. These include brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, turnip and mustard greens.
You have also asked me about canned vegetables. It should be noted that freshly picked vegetables typically start with a lot of minerals and vitamins. However, depending on how long it takes to reach the consumer, some of the nutrients may be lost. Canned vegetables are usually protected against this. However, how they are canned must be taken into consideration — whether it is done with preservatives, etc. But fresh vegetables lose nutrients much faster than canned vegetables.
Good luck.

Have you ever connected the word "prayer" with the word "work"? Maybe you've said a prayer at your place of work like, "Please God, help me get through this day!" Other than that situation it doesn't seem like these two words go together. However, it may surprise you to know that the Church connects these two words in the word "Liturgy". Liturgy is what we do when we come to Mass. It is the form of our community prayer and ritual. But did you know that the word "liturgy", translated from the Greek, means "the work of the people"? From the earliest days of the Christian Church the community gathered to tell the stories of Jesus, break bread, and give thanks for their life in the resurrected Christ. Everyone participated in and contributed to the prayer celebration. This community prayer was, literally, "the work of the people"!
This tradition continues at St. John with the many liturgical ministers of prayer who you see serving at our weekend liturgies. Their service helps lead us in prayer and song, gathers our offering to God, helps us feel welcome, makes Christ present in the proclamation of the Word, and serves us the Bread of Life.
This parish is blessed as well with many Liturgy & Sacrament ministries that take place outside of our Sunday celebrations. They continue this prayer work by gathering together to practice forms of prayer that have been a part of our Church from the earliest times. Some also take the community blessing and the Eucharist we share to those unable to join in our celebrations.
You are invited to share your gifts with the praying community. How is God calling you to become a part of this important work of the people of God?
A commitment to the ongoing efforts of ministry on behalf of the parishioners of St. John Vianney, by the parishioners of St. John Vianney is no small task. Each ministry performs certain functions within the grand scheme to elevate the interior experience of parishioners. With this commitment there are implied universal expectations when someone takes on the responsibility of ministry. The heads of liturgical ministry have come together to place down in writing these universal expectations regardless of the ministry. By joining any ministry, the congregant agrees to the following standards of decorum and deportment.

I pre-ordered Lost Sphear for the Nintendo Switch and paid for priority shipping (2-5) days. After 7 days I contacted support since I still hadn't received any shipping/tracking notification. Shortly afterward I received an email saying that my order had been canceled per my instructions and I'd get a refund. WTF?! DO YOU PEOPLE READ?! I never once asked for a cancellation or a refund. All I asked for was shipping/tracking information.
And now the game is out of stock. F This. Hopefully I'll have better luck with Project Octopath Traveler.

You will never see recycled materials the same way ever again!
Recycle. Reuse. Repurpose.
The Emily Huff Co. mission is to take materials that would have been tossed into the landfill and turn them into exquisite accessories.
The fashion industry is the second largest polluting industry in the world! The average American throws away about 65 pounds of clothing per year.
That equals to about 11 million tons of clothing that ends up in the landfill!

Shout and Stomp: Powerhouse Presenters Take the Cygnet Stage to Share, Teach and Learn
American History Theater
We are only a week out from our next workshop, "Shout and Stomp: Addressing Veteran Trauma Through Performing Arts." We are so excited to be in partnership with Cygnet Theater for this event! We've been able to work with fantastic organizations in San Diego to include The Veterans Museum at Balboa Park and The Women's Museum of California. We are excited to add Cygnet to our growing list of community partners.
The premise of the workshop is to address trauma through the performing arts, with our presenters providing examples from their own lives and the way they've used their talents as performers to address and quell the struggles of their own personal lives. Antonio has performed all over the U.S., but we are lucky to have him with us on the Cygnet stage on April 29.
Our first presenter, Antonio TJ Johnson, is a Vietnam Veteran, award winning actor, writer and founder and director for his own organization, The Vagabond Theatre project. Johnson has worked with Cygnet for the last 12 years and was a natural pick for this venture. His presence on the stage is powerful and that power and soul has become an important vehicle for him as he's addressed his own darkness from his time at war. Johnson will perform some of his work and provide examples of how he channels his creativity and how our attendees can begin to explore, channel and express themselves through some simple exercises.
We will also be joined by Rayna Stohl, who is the Dance Director at Canyon Crest Academy, dancer and licensed therapist. As Stohl said, "I never thought I'd be running a dance program." Her goals upon moving to San Diego to pursue her Master's in psychology, work in the eating disorder field, get married and have two kids. She tried to put dance aside, but dancing from the young age of 7 had built something into her that would not let go. As she says, she "followed the signs" to find her way into running the dance program at Canyon Crest Academy in Del Mar. Her background as a therapist and the eight years she spent working in group homes with troubled teens has given her some insights about how dance can heal and strengthen in the midst of struggle. Although she has never worked with veterans or with those who suffer from combat-related mental disorders, she feels this will be a new and rewarding experience!
"When (I) was asked to be a part of this workshop, I was flattered but a wee bit confused! I don't have personal experience with PTSD, or anything of anyone military related," said Stohl. "But as I began to think about my life as both a therapist and as a dance teacher, I started to feel pretty damn stoked to take on this new challenge!"
Last but not least we'll be joined by newcomer Laurissa Rudgers. Rudgers is a new Cal State University San Marcos graduate, with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts with an emphasis on theater. She will share her own personal story of Military Sexual Trauma at the young age of 18. She will perform a spoken word piece she has written about her experience and share how the performance process helped her to heal and continue to heal.
She has become an activist for women's rights and uses theater as a catalyst for conversation and education, she rarely shares her personal work. The workshop will be the second time Rudgers will perform her piece and she hopes it will help our attendees see the ways in which such pain can be redirected, explored and shared.
"There is no wrong way to create art out of your experiences," says Rudgers. "It is deeply personal and there is no expectation from a therapist to have a 'breath-through' or whatever. It is self-led and you do it at your pace."
Now, more than ever, we must look at all the different ways in which we can heal our nation's veterans. We have been a nation at war for a long time and our nation's military are paying the dearest price for those conflicts. Our Veterans Affairs systems are overloaded and creaking with the need for veteran care. The mental, emotional and even physical scars of war and other military-affiliated traumas can be debilitating and dangerous. American History Theater is proud to join forces with others who are exploring ways to make the world a better place, for our veterans and for everyone.

Would You Take This Job?
I would like to have you read the scenario below and let me know if you would want this job. . . .
"Congratulations on being selected for the position of top minion here at Do Everything Against Design, Inc. (DEAD). My name is The Once-ler. Our company is a prestigious purveyors of thneeds—and a thneed is a thing that everyone needs (6). We pride ourselves on our commitment to being on the cutting edge of business and we use only the best, most up-to-date information possible to dictate how we run our business."
"Let me start off by saying that this job will provide all kinds of potential benefits. It is up to you to decide how committed you are. The potentials are endless—overuse injury, chronic pain, depression, increased alcohol use, drug or medication use, cancer, increased general mortality, even bullying—that's right, just like when you were a kid—are all very real possibilities here at DEAD, Inc."
"So first thing we will do is get you set up with your work area and station. Here is your cubicle which studies have shown are detrimental to not only work life but also your personal life (1). And here is your ergonomically correct chair so that your body doesn't have to move, because research has shown that sitting 90% of your day, will almost double your risk of developing neck pain (2). We are also well aware of the fact that this increased time sitting will ultimately yield to a higher mortality rate for you (3), and make you feel generally crummy, but we are willing to take your chances. In fact, don't even bother trying to counter all this sitting with exercise, because regardless of how active you are when not sitting, it will increase your risk for certain cancers by up to 66%! (4)"
"However, placing this degree of stress and strain on your body is mainly so that we can reduce the organization's costs and increase productivity (5), which is what is most important to us. Because 'business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know' (6). And you do want to be a team player, don't you?"
"In fact if you do end up having any physical problems, there is a greater than 63% chance that it is actually due to work (7). And if it isn't from sitting too much (8), then it is due to the psychological stress that this position places on you. Heck, it might even be due to me and the stress I place on you! I will give you an 80% chance that our workplace stress will be the most important factor you will have to deal with here (9)."
"We have also found that this job can also really give you a great chance on becoming an alcoholic or binge drinker (10), so you have that going for you as well."
"If stress does become greater than you can learn how to cope with, which is apparently one important part of your employment here (11), then rest assured that we don't really have a plan in place, because 80% of facilities do not have formal programs in place to deal with workplace stress, and of those that do, only about 14% say it is effective (12). Since that's what the research suggests, then I mean, how important can establishing a plan be?"
"The single greatest thing about this whole situation is that I will actually pay you to let me break you down, little by little, bit by bit, until you feel beaten and broken. Don't you see? It's a win-win situation for both of us here at DEAD, Inc!"
I decided to title this article differently from my original title, "Your Employer Is Trying to Kill You", because I thought it might be a little less inflammatory. But if you think about it, if data were used to truly guide what we should be doing, than many jobs where employees have to sit the better part of the day are truly a form of abuse. OSHA should be having a friggin' field day with these kinds of stats!
But this is not about trying to bash many of the companies that have these incredibly sedentary work environments. Nor is it about the fact that I disagree with how our ergonomic evaluations and standards currently are. This is more about trying to create a Movement/Movement.
Our bodies are designed for movement. Period. Our brains are designed for processing and trying to create efficiency so that we can process more. Now that's pretty smart, however, highly detrimental when it comes to the importance of movement. Because if we continue to listen to what our brain is telling many of us, then it will constantly suggest that we just continue to sit to conserve energy.
So what to do for those of us who have to sit regularly during the day?
- Get up regularly, even if it means setting a timer at your desk to walk down the hall a couple of times. Not only good for the body, but also good for the brain.
- Stand every time the phone rings in your office, even if it means you have to sit back down to do something at your computer for the call.
- Every hour, independent of getting up for regular walks:
- Sit at the front edge of the chair, hands resting on thighs and body in a relaxed position—not too slouched or sitting up too straight. Take a slow breath in through your nose, feeling your ribs expand circumferentially. Then slowly, fully exhale as if you are sighing out and exhale more than you typically would, without forcing or straining. Inhale on a 3-4 count, exhale on a 6-8 count, then pause for a couple of seconds. Re-inhale and repeat for 4-5 breaths.
- Staying in this position at the front edge of the chair, reach one arm forward, alternating between sides, allowing your trunk and torso to rotate as well. Your hips and pelvis should also shift such that your thighs are alternately sliding forward and back. Perform 10 times on each side, slowly and deliberately and while taking slow, full breaths.
- Consider using your chair differently depending on the task:
- When doing work on the computer, sit with the lowest part of your low back (i.e. sacrum) against the seat back, but don't lean your upper body back. This will give the base of your spine some support, but also allow for good trunk muscle activity as well as proper thoracic circumferential breathing.
- When doing general work such as going through papers, moving things around your desk, filing, etc., sit forward on your chair so that you are more at the edge of the chair. This will allow your legs to take more load and your trunk muscles better able to aid in support, reaching and rotating tasks.
- When reading items or reviewing paperwork, recline back with full back contact to give your muscles, joints and discs a rest. Make sure to hold the items up at roughly shoulder height—even if you support your arms on armrests or desk.
Remember, chairs and sitting is something that WE as humans created and the current norm is in no way optimal. We were not put on this planet to sit on chairs, and in particular not ones which shut our system off and limit our movement and ability to breathe normally. Until organizations and the general mindset changes to balance work requirements, work efficiency and human health, then we will be constantly be dealing with companies such as DEAD, Inc.

10 Best Family Hotels in Pattaya Beach
Pattaya is certainly a city that is evolving and is now very definitely a family-friendly resort. OK, there may be some areas of the city that you would rather children didn't see but overall Pattaya welcomes everyone and that includes families. Our list includes some of the most family orientated hotels that you will find in Pattaya Beach.
1. Wave
The Wave Hotel was opened back in 2013 but gives the impression of dating back to an art deco era and possibly looking more at home in 1950s Florida rather than Pattaya. However, that takes nothing away from the superbly rendered boutique hotel that oozes class and sophistication – something that until recently you would not really associate with Pattaya Beach Road. The hotel is in a great location, close to the beach with the shopping centres at Central Festival and Royal Garden Plaza both being within walking distance.
Of course, the hotel has much more to offer travellers than just its location. The pastel shades of the hotels exterior make it easily recognisable and the fact that it only has 21 rooms just gives it that extra feel of luxury. The rooms are fantastically well furnished with polished hardwood floors, sumptuous beds adorned with bright coloured bedding and large bathrooms, all fitted with some of the best rain showers that are available on the market.

2. Dusit D2 Baraquda
This is another of the boutique hotels that you will find in Pattaya. Situated on Pattaya Second Road, right in the heart of the city, the Hotel Baraquda is part of the Dusit's MGallery Collection. Rightfully boasting a 5-star rating, the Baraquda is well placed for the beach and shopping centres as well as being within walking distance of Walking Street. The location is perfect for those who want to keep their travelling time down to a minimum.
The hotel itself has a stylish cream and grey exterior with an asymmetric swimming pool. With just 72 rooms, the Baraquda is designed in a "urbane and futuristic way" with all the modern conveniences that you would expect in an upmarket hotel. The beds are extremely comfortable and all the rooms have their own private balcony and quality, high-pressure showers in the bathrooms.

3. Hotel Mera Mare
Located close to the Hard Rock Café, just moments from the beach, the Hotel Mera Mare again includes all the modern conveniences including high speed internet and a computer station. Complimentary newspapers are available and there is also plenty of parking at the hotel making it appealing to business travellers and also families who have hired cars.

4. Holiday Inn Pattaya
One of the larger hotels in Pattaya, the Holiday Inn is located at the northern end of Pattaya Beach Road and opened back in 2009. All of the 367 rooms come complete with sea views, comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. Inside you will find 5 excellent eating establishments of which the Havana Bar and Terrazzo Italian Restaurant are perhaps the best known. The facilities are well maintained and of a high quality and the signature spa is a great place to unwind after a day at the beach or taking in the sights.

5. Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya
Like every Hard Rock Hotel in the world, the Hard Rock Pattaya is exactly what you would expect from this well known chain of hotels.

Scene 1. The Dumbshow
a. Draw a large map of Europe. Mark on it with crisp black lines the various political boundaries between internationally recognised independent states that have existed, de jure or de facto, through the late lamented Twentieth Century (and the little runt so far of the whole Third Millennium[1]). Then mark on it in red the following:
battles & skirmishes resulting in deaths of combatants (whether between officially sanctioned armies[2] & their opponents, or armed irregulars of various sorts [terrorists, partisans, resistance etc]), whether on the ground, in the air, at sea (in the area of the map), or any combination thereof – use for this a star: *;
killings of unarmed or non-combatant populations by either legally sanctioned or irregular combatants, whether on the ground, or from the air or sea etc – use for this an obelisk: †;
sites where prisoners or detainees of state or irregular forces have been executed[3], left to die or treated such that death ensued, for reasons of their "ethnicity", "religion", "politics", "class", "gender", "sexuality", "criminality", "education" etc or the "necessity of war", "pleasure", "operational requirements", "historical necessity", "justice", "god's will" etc – use for this a double obelisk: ‡.
b. Stand back and admire.
c. Reread the larger text box of Figure 4 (above).
d. Read out loud in your own voice the text in the smaller cartoon of Figure 4 (below) – I'll reproduce it in print if it's too difficult for your sight: "'Why so glum, grandpa?' reader's voice."
Scene 2. Let Us Prepare for the Revolt of the Titans
Take out the box – it is black, shiny & hopeful. We can call it a manifold. It is marked by various input & output sockets. Lift up the box and squint carefully into one of the input sockets. Inside it, you will see images magically appearing: a quick-cut montage of scenes of cultural & historical significance. Now look into the output sockets. The first of these will show a display of values. Please say these words, in a glum voice, "The power of the technique can readily be seen by detailed examination of the cross-peaks associated with carbon resonances of between 50 and 55 p.p.m. The chemical shifts for protons 3 and 9 were noted from the 1H/1H COSY to be different. This information, when applied to the 1H/1H COSY spectrum [Fig 4], allows all four carbon resonances to be unambiguously assigned."[4]
Now juggle with the manifold, throwing up & catching it repeatedly. Try spinning it in the air or seeing how high you can throw it. Do not let it either fall or land in some high place. When you do so, as eventually you will, please say these words, as noisily as you can, "We're all on that long voyage already."
Now stagger and sway, as you are shaken by an earthquake. Pick up the manifold – it is, you will find, a long way away. You must crawl to get it. When you have it, pick it up & look into output sockets 2 & 3, switching between them several times. You will notice how the red expands rapidly and then gets swept back into a smaller area, but glowing brighter, followed by the yellow shifting & ending up by splitting repeatedly & attacking itself. Please say these words, in tones of justice, "We shall all die living with cancer."
Now look into output socket 4, the final socket of the manifold. The structures visible here are peculiarly interesting and full of detail: the secrets of the Golden or Gilded Head, the Chapel of the Opened Book and the Grave of Arthur[5] are all revealed to you, and also of the Great Hermaphroditic Conjunction (also known as Species Consciousness). Please say these words, following as dirty a laugh as you can manage, "I shall now make up stories of happier things, which could have existed and ought."
Please, having first placed the manifold back in its container, do so, if you can. Thank you.

Welcome to the most spontaneous night of your life. Nassim Soleimanpour, a storyteller of the highest order, invites a new 'actor' and one audience member to tell their story onstage for your entertainment in his latest play BLANK at the State Theatre. The action, for lack of a better word, is driven by author intention and (our most feared, most used word this Fringe season) audience participation. It has been crafted to be sincere and often profound, but dragged a bit last night due to lack of audience creativity. A script full of blanks? One could say it is slightly better in theory than in reality but I can assure you there is much to be gained from this exploration of mortality and the human condition.
Each night has been improvised by a member of our national community who is just as oblivious to the occurrences within the play as the audience. Last night was no different with renowned comedian Claire Hooper directing the chosen 'hero of the story' as to what was required of them, while inserting unscripted commentary here and there. Claire did exceptionally well, but the nature of the play meant she was very confined by the script. It would've been nice to have slightly less structure to work with.
'Dear audience', you will learn from this play about what it is to tell your story, when complete honesty is required. Hopefully the audience of your story will slightly more engaged, but it is your job to keep them on the edge of their seats. This innovative piece courages its audience to look more closely at the world. To ask questions. Know that your story will soon be over and it is your job to keep things interesting. By its very nature the most unique play you will see at Fringe, so get down to State Theatre tonight for its closing night!

The Huffington Post published an article this week about a Charlotte, NC man who left a dime, a nickel and three pennies—eighteen cents—in an offering envelope at First United Methodist Church with these words written on the envelope: "Please don't be mad, I don't have much. I'm homeless. God bless."
Similarly this week, I've been convicted as I've heard several in our congregation speak apologetically about not being able to contribute as much to the church as they would like. And this week I've also been blessed to witness remarkable generosity as our church works to retire our mortgage debt.
What ties all those conversations together? Money.
Many years ago now a college friend of mine confidently asserted that money makes the world go round. That's what she'd grown up hearing, but to my Baptist ears that didn't sound quite right. So I was proud to chidingly correct her, saying, "It's love that makes the world go round." But she was probably more right than I was.
We live in a society where money defines value. Money, not behavior, buys respect. Money, not wisdom, confers influence. Money, not love, defines self-worth. And we all live quietly in that reality until something disrupts the system--this week it's people in Baltimore without money looking for alternative ways to gain influence and have others acknowledge their value and worth.
So when churches ask for money people can be suspicious, because money is the only way the world assigns value, and they were hoping that the church might be different.
But churches need money. Money to pay the staff. Money to keep the buildings open. Money for missions and ministry. So churches ask for money. And faithful Christians don't just give because churches ask; faithful Christians give because Christ commands. Giving is a spiritual act of humility, a statement of priority. Giving requires that we live with enough financial margin to remind ourselves that we are more than consumers.
In the comments section of The Huffington Post article mentioned above—a dangerous place to be!—the critiques on Christians came fast and furious. Some used our own scriptures--the widow's mite story--to critique us. And others juxtaposed this act of transparent generosity with a generally perceived lack of Christian empathy, lamenting, "If only Christians were more like Christ…"
But I wish those people could see what I see. I see people struggling to pay student loans and medical bills who wish they could be MORE generous. I see people in their 50s and 60s supporting both their parents and their children wishing they could give MORE of their income to those in need. I see people with a little cushion in their finances being OVERWHELMINGLY generous, with the faith that God will use their resources to build His Kingdom.
When men without homes in Charlotte, NC and middle-class women in Canton, GA both feel the need to apologize for their inability to give more, I think it's safe to say the appeal for giving in churches has been heard. So maybe it's time to stop asking and start saying thank you louder and more often.
So here are four things I would highlight about giving at churches.
- We ought to be saying thank you AT LEAST twice as often as we're asking for contributions. We should clearly tell people how their contributions are being used, and we should say thank you. We should celebrate successful projects and ministry initiatives as often as we can, and we should say thank you. We should send our members financial updates even when we're not asking for money, and in those updates we should say thank you.
- We need to find better ways to acknowledge the value of non-financial contributions to our congregations. When we do, we counter the prevailing message of our culture that value and respect and influence and self-worth can only be measured in dollars and cents. Faithfulness in prayer contributes to our churches. Visits and letters and phone calls to the sick contribute to our churches. Donated professional expertise contributes to our churches. Volunteer service on committees and in classrooms and in music programs contributes to our churches. Volunteer service on missions projects and in our community contributes to our churches. Every prayer, every visit, every phone call, and every hour of service deserves a thank you.
- We need to encourage and teach habits that help create financial margin. Margin helps our members cheerfully tithe out of abundance instead of feeling pressured to give beyond their ability. Tithing is a spiritual discipline that's meant to require sacrifice. It's not supposed to be easy, but we're meant to be able to do it cheerfully. In most families consistent tithing doesn't happen without clear choices and careful planning. I don't know many people who don't want and need more financial margin in their lives. The church should find ways to teach and encourage that.
- And we ought to advocate for wages that allow the averagely situated family to live with a little cushion. No matter how carefully we plan, as the costs of living continue to rise even families fortunate enough to maintain consistent, full-time employment are feeling squeezed. If we choose to use our voices in the public square, we should be careful to use our voices on behalf of those who are struggling, those who would be overlooked and marginalized without our help.
I'm convinced that the shrinking ability of middle-class families to live with a little cushion is as big a threat to the health and vitality of the average church as just about anything. After racial and gender equality, economic justice may be the next big challenge the church will face. But that's a topic for another day.
For now, though, there's no need to apologize, thank you for your generosity.
See you Sunday.

DIY || Decoupage Plates and a Me in a Video??
It's an exciting day! I will share a fun DIY and you get to see me speaking in a video!! Oh my!! My hair is a mess but I'm hoping you all love me anyway. And now that you will see me speaking does that mean we are taking this relationship to the next level? Kidding aside, you will love these DIY decoupaged plates (I adore mine!) and you will be intrigued by this video system I will introduce you to.
Let me give you a bit of background. My good friends started a company called iTOi where with the use of an ipad you can make your own videos with their app that has teleprompter capabilities (no more videos without eye contact! Finally!). You can basically write your own script and time it to your photos as I will do in this presentation. I'm not super techie and thought iTOi was very easy to use (and dare I say fun?!). This gadget is very versatile and has so many applications, even for bloggers. Here is my video-
The gold leafing is hard....but don't worry if the sheets crumble everywhere...it will still look good, I promise.
The final product. What is better than flowers and insects in gold??!!
Styled around the house
I even made some with my 8 year old and she loved it. It's so much fun to decoupage. I hope you are inspired to try it. And if you want to find out more about iTOivisit their website.

Cinnamon Rolls – Sweden
Cinnamon rolls are a delicious staple in bakeries across the US. Visit nearly any bakery and you're likely to find the warm and gooey bun, oozing with icing. This simple yet mouth-watering dessert is made with a basic sweet dough that is filled with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter, which is then rolled up and cut to make rolls that are filled with the caramel-y goodness of the brown sugar. They are then baked and topped off with a simple white icing that melts onto the warm buns, adding some sweetness and texture. One bite of this delicious creation and you're sure to be in love! Cinnamon was discovered in Sri Lanka over 2,000 years ago, and the Romans were responsible for spreading this spice around. Around the mid-1700's, bakers all over the world started experimenting with yeast dough; the Dutch fried it in oil while the French baked it. Soon, the Germans developed a bun which was rolled with sugar and currants, to which the Swedish added cinnamon. This conceived the very first cinnamon roll, which went on to become a favourite all over the word. Today, this bun is stuffed with different kinds of mixtures that include raisins, chocolate, fruits, berries, and spices such as nutmeg. The glaze or icing may also vary, depending on which part of the world you are in. But we guarantee that this treat is sure to taste delicious everywhere! PIC: tosaltandsee.com

Milo has entered a charming new phase of loquaciousness. He can't pronounce R's at all. Some L's, Y's W's get reversed or lost all together. Baga and Nini spent the better part of a recent weekend finding phrases they could get Milo to say that maximized these consonants. The winner: "wello OhTooDeeTood" (yellow R2D2).
He has his sister's dramatic flair: long pauses and languid modifiers such as "Well..." and "Actually..." (minus some actual L's); frequent scrunching of the mouth, nose and eyes, thoughtful putting of knuckle to chin.
He has a lot to say. All the time. It's like the Narrator, Part 2. This loud and constant voice covers a wide range of topics, including:
...his meals. "Mom, I don't like carrots. They are [eyes roll dramatically] NOT delicious."
...his dreams. "Last night, I was a astronaut on a spaceship. AND [big brow raise]... we had a horse with us and we went far away from earth."
...his frustrations. "UHHGH [tosses head back]. What [extends arms incredulously]? Really [shakes fists]?"
We're pretty much at his mercy. Lu loves him, but will likely kill him soon.

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the Narendra Modi government this evening in Maharashtra's Goregaon, where he had gone to address the party's poll booth workers. Not only has the BJP government failed to honour it promises on job creation, it is very far from comparing to China, which provides employment for 50,000 people a day, he told the workers.
- Rahul Gandhi launched sharp attack on the Narendra Modi government
- The young people, he said, are keen to compete with China
- He said centre is very far in comparison to China in providing jobs
"Modi said the Pradhan Mantri Rozgar Yojana will provide employment to 2 crore people per year but their leader in Lok Sabha said unemployment is at its highest in 8 years," he said, adding, "In 24 hours, China gives jobs to 50,000 youth and the BJP gives jobs to 450".
The young people, he said, are keen to compete with China. "The PM is saying 'fight among yourselves, there is no need to work. I am the PM -- India would be run on basis of my speeches'. But in the end, jobs would have to be created, farmers would have to be protected, there is no other alternative," Mr Gandhi said.
The Congress chief, who was in Mumbai to attend the hearing of a defamation case in which he was named, said the people are living in fear.
"I have asked Mumbai residents on what differentiates Mumbai from other cities... All of them say that work is recognized and respected in city... The Congress takes everyone along just the way Mumbai does. When the Congress was in power, you could speak about us openly, fearlessly," added the Congress chief, who has been sued over his comments at a rally before the 2014 election blaming the RSS for Mahatma Gandhi's assassination in 1948.
After the hearing, he proceeded to Goregaon - roughly 100 km from the Maharashtra state capital -- for the meeting with the 15,000-odd booth-level party workers, a key move ahead of next year's general elections.
The meeting was part of the project 'Shakti'. A brainchild of the Congress chief, the project aims to empower the ground-level workers and facilitate two-way communication between them and the central leadership.

Late 1952 Ford 8N Tractor with Side Mount Distributor and Proof Meter in the Dash. I just found this tractor about two weeks ago now. Not very many of these tractors around and when you find one they usually aren't for sale! This one was operated in 2006 on a neighboring Farm. Admittedly, it is going to need restoration but there is a good foundation here to start with including an engine with NO visible cracks or repairs and which isn't stuck. Tractor is complete missing no parts as shown. Engine turns over and is not seized and did run this past summer. There is a 3 point Implement that comes with the sale of the tractor.
I can send additional photos of the tractor on request. Delivery is available to any lower 48 State location at .70 cents per loaded mile - one way.

Lights Out for Shawne Merriman
Posted on 15. Oct, 2010 by FSM Staff in General Sports, NFL
Add Shawne Merriman to the list of superstars discarded by the San Diego Chargers. The announcement was made earlier this week that the Chargers have placed Merriman on the injured reserved list with a "minor injury" designation. NFL regulations require that players with this designation be released upon returning to full health.
The Chargers will have an opportunity to resign Shawne Merriman after his release though this scenario is highly unlikely. If management wanted to keep him in San Diego they would have never placed him on the IR to begin with. And even if the Chargers made the effort, would Merriman give them the time of day? Fans who are familiar with Merriman's strong personality would tell you hell no.
This article is by no means written to defend Shawne Merriman. His multitude of injuries aside, Merriman has been plagued by issues off the field including problems with the law and steroid use. Not too many would argue that keeping him is more trouble than he is worth. This article is simply an observation that NFL teams these days are more willing to part with big name stars for very little or nothing in return.
Is it arrogance on the part of the Chargers that is the driving force behind the dissociation with talented players like LaDainian Tomlinson, Vincent Jackson, and Shawne Merriman? This perceived disloyalty definitely cannot be good for the business of attracting quality players down the road. No one wants to play for an organization with an itchy trigger finger.
For the present time, Merriman is taking everything in stride. In a statement released through his publicist, Merriman quite uncharacteristically let the football world know the following:
"I have been blessed to call San Diego my home for the past six years. I can't say enough about my teammates, the coaching staff and of course the fans who have made my career with the Chargers such an amazing experience. I am approaching this situation as an opportunity to grow as a player and to bring my leadership and talents to a new organization. I am ready for the next chapter in my career and I am excited about the opportunity to continue my journey with a new team."

Mulch is any substance laid over the soil to help plant growth, mainly by suppressing weeds. Apply when your vegetable plants are approximately 4 inches high and your garden soil has warmed up. Cover the soil completely leaving the base of the plant stem clear. Some materials will decompose quicker than others so lay a fresh layer during the season when needed.
Tip #1 Some Root Vegetables can be left in hte garden over winter. Protect the plants from the elements by covering the plant with several inches of material.
Tip #2 Collect and use materials that you have on hand. If you live in a tree lined street or have lots of trees in your yard, make sure you take the time to collect the leaves. Shredding them is the best, put them in a garbage can and use the weedwacker to shred them.
The Benefits
The Problems
Mulching can be beneficial as well as detrimental, so be clear on why you want to use it, then make sure you apply the correct material and amount. Find more about planting a vegetable garden.

Administrative Region : Epirus
Regional unit : Ioannina
Skamneli (Σκαμνέλλι) Ioannina
Skamneli is a village in the Zagori region (Epirus region), 54 km north of Ioannina. It is built in the fringes of mountain Tymfi (Mt Tymphe), at a height of 1160 m.
The name "Skamneli" is of uncertain origin. It may derive from the word "sycaminea" (Greek: συκαμινέα, the sycamore of the Bible - the fig-mulberry tree). There are several villages and toponyms in Greece with the name Sycaminea or Sykamia. It is more likely, however, that the name is derived from the Greek "skamnos" (σκαμνός), "skamnon" (σκάμνον) or "skamni" (σκαμνί) (Latin: scamnum, scannellum that means "seat" or "footstool") perhaps because the village itself seems like a seat and has an amphitheatric view. Skamneli is flanked by the steep cliff of Rhadio (Greek: Ραδιό < ῥάδιον) meaning easy or accessible, (if so, a euphemism) on its western side and the hill of Prophetes Elias on the eastern side and looks over the valley of Selio (Σελιό), perhaps from Greek: σέλιον or σήλιον, archaic form of Greek: ἥλιον meaning "of the sun" or sunny, as this area remains out of the shadow of Rhadio for the entire day. At the bottom of the valley of Selio passes the Skamneliotic stream (Skamneliotiko rema).
The village is not mentioned in the Turkish records of 1564. There seemed to be in the area several other small villages that slowly coalesced with Skamneli in the 17th century. These were Catuna or Catuni, Agios Georgios, Prophetes Elias, Gardiki, Trepesi, Kotsanades, Palaiochori (Koziakos-Katsikochori) and Nouka. Nouka was a small settlement of Vlachs at Gyftokampos.

The region of the village was inhabited since prehistoric times, as there have been found ancient, so-called pelasgian fortifications, known by the locals also as the Palaiokastro.[1] They were visited by Nicholas Hammond in 1930 and in 1939, prior to his publication of his book Epirus.[2] Prof Daskaris of the University of Ioannina dated these to the 8th century BC.
Moreover, remains of a 4th to 3rd C BC circular tower, a rectangular tower, a gate and two smaller doorways have been identified near the entrance of the village in the vicinity of the Monastery of Agia Paraskevi. In the Ottoman period, Skamneli belonged to the Commons of the Zagorisians (Greek: Κοινόν Ζαγορισίων) formed after a treaty with Sinan-Pasha in 1431. Ιτ enjoyed along with the other villages a joint autonomy from Ottoman rule. The autonomy guaranteed non-interference from the Turkish administration. Zagorisians had their affairs entrusted to a Council of Elders called Demogerontia (Δημογεροντία), headed by a president or governor called Vekylis (Βεκύλης). They were allowed to maintain an armed security force of Spachedes (σπαχήδες). The Commons of the Zagorisians was reformalised by a treaty signed in 1670, under which Zagori enjoyed considerable privileges called Surutia, which were only rescinded by the Sultan in 1868. In the later part of the 17th century, the inhabitants of several hamlets began to gather together in Skamneli. The reason for this was probably raids from bandits. One major such raid is recorded in the books of the Monastery of Agia Paraskevi, according to Frangoulis[3] dated to 1688, by one named Ali Chogmeno at the head of 166 men. He gathered the women and children in the church of Agioi Apostoloi and began a looting of the village. Armatoloi arrived from Doliani, another village in Zagori, under their captain Douvlis and dispersed the bandits after killing Ali Chogmeno. At the time Skamneli had about 1000 inhabitants and was surrounded by several hamlets with an additional 800 inhabitants. Plagued by raids from mainly Albanian and Turkish bandits, the inhabitants of the countryside and hamlets around Skamneli began to emigrate to other villages of Zagori (Tsepelovo, Vradeto and Negades) and also to Northern Epirus (modern Albania), in Karitsa, Molista, Sopiki and especially to Moschopolis (Voskopolis), where a neighborhood became called Skamnelia (Σκαμνελιά), Skamneliki (Σκαμνελίκι) or Skamnelicili.
In the second half of the 18th century, Skamneli is believed to have had a population of about 950, according to Frangoulis, based on two surviving village records, but other estimates are of up to 800 families for the entire region. Vikos doctors were active in the area at that time. Looms were worked by the women of Skamneli, producing garments, blankets and woolen fabrics. The foundations of the manors of Skamneli date from this period and were built by masons from Konitsa. During a tour of Mt Tymphe, Ali Pasha was caught by a storm and spent a night in Skamneli at the manor of the Saitzis family, reputed to have caused the admiration of the tyrant.
In 1820, after the rebellion of Ali Pasha, a Turkish force of 1500 under Ismael Pasha arrived in Zagori, part of the total army of 20,000 sent against Ali Pasha. Alexis Noutsos from Kapesovo, a member of the Filiki Eteria who had intermarried with the Saitzis family and owned a house in Skamneli, was in command of the force opposing Ismael Pasha. However, the Sultan's armies prevailed. Ismael Pasha removed most privileges other than the right to appoint a local governor (Vekylis), whose powers however became nominal. Ismael Pasha introduced very heavy taxation, amounting to 250 silver coins per person and additional taxation in kind. The bands of the Spachedes, left without income, resorted also to extortion. Albanian and local bandits began looting raids once again. This is the time when prominent Greeks everywhere have become members of the Filiki Eteria and are preparing the uprising against the Turks in 1821. The Skamneliot Georgios Papazoglou proposes to Georgios Gennadios in Constantinople (Istanbul) the idea of the establishment of a Greek university at the Monastery of Rogovou, outside nearby Tsepelovo. The idea had also been proposed by Neophytos Doukas, at the time possibly living in Tsepelovo. The plan never materialzed because of the limited success of the Greek revolution, that left Epirus under Ottoman rule. Georgios' brother Kostas Papazoglou, another member of the Filiki Eteria, leaves for Missolonghi, where he will lead and finance a cavalry company during the Greek War of Independence.
Several Skamneliots enlisted in the Sacred Band of Alexander Ypsilantis in the opening phase of the Greek War of Independence and fought in Drăgăşani.[3] However, Zagori failed to gain its liberation and was not included in the Kingdom of Greece formed in 1833. In 1837, during a raid by bandits under a man called Vryazis, the bandits find the veteran of the Greek War of Independence Costas Papazoglou in his house in Skamneli and kill him, looting his house among others. In 1868 Zagori lost its last privileges and Skamneli entered a period of further impoverishment and decline. At that time, so-called "gypsies" and pastoral Sarakatsani Vlachs lived here in addition to its traditional inhabitants. The "gypsies", believed by the locals to have been brought to Europe by the Turks from Asia, were involved in the making of tools and utensilis and other metalwork, as well as musical instruments. The pastoral Vlachs of the period managed the livestock of the wealthier families. Both groups became gradually assimilated into the village society. After the battle of Bizani during the first Balkan War (1912), the inhabitants of Skamneli and Tsepelovo rose up. A Turkish unit subsequently entered the village and set fire to all the houses whose occupants were absent. The public records of the village also perished.[3] In 1940 villagers from Skamneli helped in turning back the Italian army that had entered Epirus. Later Napoleon Zervas established his partizans in the area. The village became almost deserted during the Greek Civil War (1946-9) and more of the older stone houses fell to ruin in the subsequent period.
Skamneli,village centre
While some of the grander houses, such as those of the Noutsos and Saitzis families, became ruins, other houses were repaired by the few remaining impoverished inhabitants. Repairs were not always sympathetic to the traditional forms. However, there are some old manors still in existence, built in the traditional style of Zagori, notably that of the Gennadios family, near the village square and those of Cyparrisos, Frangoulis and Theodosiou. A unique characteristic of these manors were murals with floral themes covering the interior and they were also characterised by their unique carved wooden ceilings. While the older ceilings are now mostly gone, a very fine example of modern work in the old Scamneliot style can be seen in the hotel "To Rhadio" (το Ραδιό), along the main road, near the church of the Apostles.
The church of Agioi Apostoloi was built in 1793 next to the village square by a benefaction from two Skamneliots living in Moldovlachia, Demetrios and Christodoulos Saitzes. Ιτ has beautiful wooden panelling and is of considerable historical significance as a representative of the style of the period. Young Skamneliotes used to study in Ioannina or in Italy and in Constantinople during the Ottoman period and would emigrate for work to Constantinople, Asia Minor, Russia, the Danubian principalities of Moldova, Wallachia and Bessarabia, known collectively as Moldovlachia, in Romania and also to Egypt. More recently there has been emigration also to the U.S.A..[4] There used to be two large monasteries near the entrance of Skamneli, that of Agios Nikolaos housed monks while that of Agia Paraskevi originally housed nuns. The Monastery of Agios Nikolaos dates from 1683. Parts of the monk's quarters, the church and a picturesque roofed well still remain.
Skamneli village square
The Monastery of Agia Paraskevi dates from the 12-13th centuries, as some of the oldest murals suggest, during the period of the Despotate of Epirus. It was founded as a nunnery with 60 nuns. On the record of its last commissioner, it became a "Stavropegiac" monastery in 1453, after the Fall of Constantinople, and has remained under the direct jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. It was refounded in 1697 as a male monastery. Some of the frescoes were painted in 1717 and 1773 by painters from nearby Kapesovo and from Chionades. The exterior fresco mainly around the theme of the Final Judgement was apparently made by a hagiographer from nearby Koukouli. The frail frescoes were restored in 1933 and 1984. The monastery became ruinous and only the central church remains out of the original foundation. Another old church, that of the Panagia (Church of the Yperagia Theotokos or the Dormition of the Theotokos) has suffered from disrepair and, although still standing, has been closed to the public.
The village celebrates the Feast of Agia Paraskevi, on the 26th of July, with a local festival.
Near the village lies Gyftokampos, a place of an annual meeting of the Greek-speaking Epirotan Vlachs Sarakatsani on the first weekend of August. It is also an exhibition ground every year, from May till October, with huts and other representations of the traditional life of the Sarakatsani.
A custom surviving until recently in Skamneli was a divination referred to as the "amileto nero" (unbespoken water). It involved an offering of water and grain by adolescent girls, relating to an ancient Demetriac festival of the month of Gamelion. Reputedly, the springwater mourmoured an omen, usually relating to the girl's future marital life.
According to Odysseas Frangoulis, St Cosmas (Kosmas Aitolos or Cosmas of Aetolia) preached in Skamneli outside the monastery of Agios Nikolaos. He prophesied "when you see here many horses gathered, the Romioi are coming". When the village was burnt in 1912 by the retreating Turks, they had left their horses outside the monastery.
Wedding customs
Weddings in former times were governed by tradition.[3] Following engagement, and an exchange of rings, it was customary for a young Skamneliot to follow a more experienced elder abroad for work or study. They paid irregular visits to Skamneli, following the local maxim "do not visit your home often, so that you are filled with constant longing". Friends of the bride would gather nightly to knit the dowry. The duty for the final preparations and the feast were for the groom. On the Thursday before the wedding, boys and girls carried the dowry to the groom's house. On the eve of the wedding, bread was baked and children were sent to the houses of the groom and the bride to summon them. The bride, upon leaving her family home would throw over a pitcher, spilling its contents of water and grains of wheat to the ground, so that not all good fortune left her parents' home. The bride would set out on a white horse, wearing a knitted vest over a gilded dress held together by a golden waistband decorated with florins. In more recent times the dress was white on the day of the wedding but the young bride was dressed in a black silken dress on the second day. Arriving at the groom's house with her companions (fylachtades), she would have to overcome gracefully some obstacle, the nature of which was kept secret. Much tutoring was made in advance, so that she might deal with any problem and gain respect and admiration. After the wedding, always on a Sunday, there was a feast with music by Epirotan musicians. The family would lead the dance and the newlyweds would join last. It was the responsibility of the leader of the ceremonies, called Vlamis (the best man), to fulfill any request of the guests regarding food. Feasts would often take place in the open ground of the Selio south of the village or in the fountain of Goura above the village. Wedding celebrations would last for three days. In the second day, the married couple would go to a water fountain, often a place of trysts for young lovers. The bride would let her water pitcher fall and break. She would then sing a song:
"If you go to the fountain for water,
I will be hiding there;
I will break your pitcher,
So that you return to your mother empty handed."
"My mother, I lost my footing
and I broke my pitcher."
"It was not a loss of footing,
It was a man's embracing."
Before leaving the fountain, the bride would cast coins in it. The dancing and merry-making would continue until the third day and would end with words from the bride's parents to the effect "we brought you a bride, we brightened your house". These wedding customs have become a thing of the past as only a few inhabitants remain year-round in Skamneli.
Prominent Skamneliots
Adam Gorgidas, a professor of Medicine at the University of Budapest, member of the Philike Etairia (Filiki Eteria) translated in 1849 the Encheiridion of Practical Pathology of D.P. Frank from Latin into Greek.
Skamneli also is the birthplace of the national benefactor Aggeliki Papazoglou (ca. 1810-1891).[5] Among else, she provided the funds for the building of a library for the University of Athens and built a school for girls in Ioannina, the Papazogleios.
Georgios Sinas, Director of the Bank of Austria for 25 years, was a national benefactor, responsible for the building of the National Astronomical Observatory in Athens and was among the first trustees of the Bank of Greece after Greek independence. He was born in Moschopolis of Northern Epirus and was of Skamneliot descent.
Simon Sinas, baron, son of Georgios Sinas, was a Greek Consul in Vienna. He funded the building of the National Academy in Athens, considered by some as the most beautiful neoclassical building in the world.

We thought the Cape Cod Roots and Blues Festival held on Saturday at Nauset Beach was a huge success.
On behalf of our son Garrett aka G. Love and our whole family, we want to thank the town of Orleans, the selectmen, town officials and the fire, police, public works, natural resources and beach personnel for their work in the planning and implementation of the festival.
Also thanks to over 35 sponsors, mostly Orleans and Cape Cod companies, and the management and organization work by Mike McNamara and his Hog Island Brewery team and Garrett and his Philadelphonic Management team.
Over 2,500 people attended the event including many families and children, and most importantly the CCRBF resulted in a substantial contribution to Friends of Nauset Beach for the preservation of our iconic and beloved Nauset Beach.

I've spent about 40 years as a registered Democrat. My leanings are still to the center/left. But I wanted to be able to vote for the person, not just by party affiliation, so I changed my status to unenrolled several years ago.
As a Brewster resident for more than 30 years, I have come to appreciate our State Delegation. My state representative is Tim Whelan of Brewster. Like Tim, I, too. worked in policing for decades.
Some have criticized Rep. Whelan for only supporting law enforcement in his time as a legislator. While he has been a staunch supporter of first responders, he has done much more.
I have called upon Tim for many other issues such as extra parking at Crosby Beach in Brewster, along with Route 6A repaving and sidewalk improvements. But my requests on behalf of the community didn't stop there. When the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History called about improving safety for those crossing 6A, Tim came out and met with us on site and that led to changes done by MassDOT.
He did the same thing when Latham Schools called about a passing zone in a crosswalk to their property.
But what really makes Tim Whelan so special, rising above others, is his ability in bi-partisan ways to coordinate with Rep Sarah Peake and Sen. Julian Cyr and get things done for the town and the district.
Brewster is fortunate to have such great representation on Beacon Hill. Please join me in voting for all three in November.

Editor's Note: The writer is the former police chief in Brewster.
I write to praise Wellfleet and it residents, not to criticize them.
Like many towns, Wellfleet has problems. One of which is that some residents are not as well off as others. We residents are a kind, concerned, resourceful people.
Unlike many towns, we have a large number of non-residents. They are a generous group, being major contributors to organizations such as the library, historical society, conservation trust, Pres Hall, the sanctuary and Outer Cape Health among others.
They pay about 75 percent of our taxes so we can benefit from the services year round. They contribute their time and expertise. Many of them are our friends and feel part of our community.
So when we residents and our elected officials voted to allow them to pay more taxes so that those in need (and those not in need) can pay less taxes, no doubt it made them feel even closer to our town. Problem solved!
When we meet our non-resident friends and neighbors we must be sure to thank them for being the solution to our problem. It is comforting to know that they will see us as kind, concerned, resourceful citizens and not entitled, selfish, or greedy ones.

Wow! What a weekend! The 41st Eastham Windmill Weekend was a huge success thanks to an amazing committee and support from an awesome community.
Special thanks to new sponsors Michael I. Flores PC for funding Road Race Timers and to the Nauset Rod and Gun Club for funding the Face Painting and Balloon Animals.
Road Race participants (up by 20 this year) loved having a more "professional" race and the children with their painted faces and balloon animals were evidence of the popularity of this free feature. We could not put on this wonderful family weekend without our sponsors.
Additional thanks to: the Eastham Recreation, DPW, Fire and Police Departments and Brewster Fire Department for their support, to the Sheriff's Department for providing the outstanding tents (sort of looked like a Big Top Tent) and also for assisting on set-up and take-down days.
Sincere thanks to all committee members and volunteers. There were dozens of you working behind the scenes making this weekend happen.
Special thanks to new committee members; Marianne Singer for organizing the Merchandise Table and Bike Raffle and to Joe Rossetti for making all the announcements on Saturday.
Thank you to Rebecca Allen for designing the new logo for EWW merchandise. Huge thank you to all dunk tank participants for helping raise money for the scholarship fund. A special thank you to Andy Shakliks of Mid-Cape Home Centers for bringing various games for all to enjoy.
To Sarah Smith, Greens chairman, thank you for going "above and beyond." Not only did you arrange a new sponsor for face painting and balloon animals so they were free activities for the children, you organized the free bus shuttle from First Encounter Beach to Windmill Green, which made it possible for many more people to enjoy this event on both Saturday and Sunday.
You will make an outstanding new chairman of Eastham Windmill Weekend!
To everyone who purchased raffle tickets and donated raffle prizes, thank you. Please visit our website (by Kemp Resources) for a list of the many business sponsors at easthamwindmillweekend.org. Also, please like our facebook page --Eastham Windmill Weekend. Let us know if you'd like to join our team of volunteers. We welcome you!

Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club has been a caring community partner since its inception — contributing generously to schools, civic, community and cultural organizations, and many others in ways that underscore its commitment to the Lower Cape.
A recent case in point is the hosting at Ocean Edge of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History's A Taste for Nature, a successful museum fundraising event held on the stunning Ocean Edge Terrace overlooking a wide swath of Cape Cod Bay.
We want to thank Ocean Edge, its General Manager Bob Newman and its fine staff for their care and generosity in making this event a tremendous success for the museum.
Ocean Edge deserves much credit. Often with these types of events and community contributions, the resort works quietly behind the scenes, never seeking credit, always seeking to serve.
Ocean Edge deserves a shout-out for its community caring.
Thank you.

If I speak French, I will live a third of the year in Montreal. Alive and peaceful, day or night, rain or shine; this city is filled with culture and arts, modern and old, sports and fashion. I don't care if all the signs aren't in English or the city seems to be always in construction, because everything else is "tres bien".
Staying overnight, go the Biosphere for $12 to get a 360 degree view of Montreal, walk around Old Montreal, and check out the Basilica at night for a $9 lightshow for some history. Enjoy the rest of the night dining in many of the excellent restaurants around. My choice this month, Holder for goat cheese tart, mussels and of course, wine. Sante!
Got a late flight the next day? Rent a Bixi for the real Montreal experience. $7/24 hour access.
