Fownes Player of the Year Standings
Senior Player of the Year Standings
Knapp Wins His 2nd Fownes Award
Sean Knapp accepts the George Dressler Amateur
Public Links Trophy from Chuck Dannenberg
Sean Knapp, of St. Jude Golf Club, has won the 2010 W.C. Fownes, Jr. Player of the Year award by accumulating 675 points in 6 different events. Knapp is not a stranger to the top of the leaderboard in this illustrious catagory. This is the second player of the year award for Knapp. Over the last eight years, he has finished in the top 6 every year but one (2006).
Knapp began the Pennsylvania Golf Association Season with a finals appearance in the R. Jay Sigel Amateur Match Play Championship, at Lookaway Golf Club. He took, eventual champion, David Brown to the 17th hole, losing 2 & 1. He followed that up with a come-from-behind victory in the George Dressler Amateur Public Links Championship, which was his second victory in this event in as many years.
"Of all of the events that I played in this year, the come-back win in the Dressler was one of the most memorable," said Knapp. "I really didn't play that well in the first round, and to come from the pack to kind of steal the win, was tough."
Knapp holds 6 State Championship Titles: 1 Amateur Championship (1997), 1 Art Wall, Jr. Memorial (2008), 2 Middle-Amateur Championships (2004 & 2009), and 2 George Dressler Amateur Public Links Championships (2009 & 2010).
USGA Resume:
Sean was the medalist, by eight shots over his closest competitor, in the USGA Amateur Public Links Qualifying, at Youghiougheny Country Club. He qualified for match play as the 28th seed, and was knocked out in the first match, 1up.
Knapp qualified for the USGA Amateur Championship, in a playoff for the second qualifying position, at Indiana Country Club. He gained an exemption into the USGA Middle-Amateur Championship for his previous play and qualified as the 6th seed for match play. He played extremely well all week and advanced to the semifinals where he had a chance to advance to the finals to compete against, good friend, Nathan Smith.
Knapp was also selected to the Pennsylvania Team , which competed in the USGA State Team Championship. The team finished in a tie for 9th place. In 2009, he was part of the championship winning team. Knapp has competed in an astounding 32 USGA Championships in his lifetime.
Schlachter Wins His Third Sr. POY
Paul Schlachter with all of his Senior Amateur
Championship awards
Paul Schlachter, of The Club at Nevillewood, has successfully won the Senior Player of the Year award 3 years out of 4. He won the inaugural title in 2007 and repeated the feat in 2008. Schlachter accumulated 593.3 points in four events in 2010.
He began the season with a first round victory in the Senior Amateur Match Play Championship, at Lookaway Golf Club, before being knocked out in the second round. He has won the Sr. Match Play twice (2008 & 2009). He followed that up with a third place finish in the Senior Better-Ball Championship, at West Shore Country Club. He has won the Sr. Better-Ball Championship three times (2005, 2007 & 2008).
"The most memorable moment this year was my up-and-down play at the Senior (Amateur Championship). I had a five shot lead going to the 15th hole and made a triple, and then made bogey on the 17th hole from a divot in the fairway. I knew where I stood (compared to the field) in the fairway on the 18th, and hit a pitching wedge from 126 yards and two-putted to win. It's getting a lot tougher in these senior events. There just seems to be more and more great senior players in Pennsylvania."
Schlachter has accumulated, a phenomenal, 10 state championships including: 1 State Amateur, 1 State Middle-Amateur, 3 Senior Better-Balls, 2 Senior Match Plays, and 3 Senior Amateurs.
"It really means a great deal to me to be named the Senior Player of the Year. It is a goal of mine every year, and it seems to be harder each year as well. I really value the PAGA events and they are always regarded as some of the best fields that I play in."
Schlachter plans to play in the Society of Seniors event in a couple of weeks and will play in a handful of senior events in Florida, in January.
From the Executive Committee and staff of the Pennsylvania Golf Association, Congratulations to Sean Knapp and Paul Schlachter on a phenomenal year of golf!

thanks Ray.
I worked out the reason my negative charge (discount) didn't appear to be working, was that it was greater than the actual shipping amount, so that the overall total was less than zero.

And in these tough economic times, hearing Jesus preach on the subject of money can give us just as much heartburn…
Contrary to what the politicians say, we're still in the worst economic crisis in nearly a century. It feels like everyone's taking our money, while our community keeps losing opportunities for people to earn a living wage. This makes it hard to listen to Jesus as he challenges the ways in which we use our money, whether we have enough or too little.
It's especially hard to listen to Jesus speak about money in a parable that's as confusing and unusual as the one we hear today…
A manager of a rich man's money finds himself in hot water with the rich man himself for squandering away his property. About to be fired for his incompetence, his negligence, his malevolence, or some combination of the three, the manager goes to his master's debtors, and he reduces their debts.
To our surprise, the master commends his manager for what he does. He has made his master's debtors into his own personal friends—who thus become indebted to him and hopefully will help him out once he's out of a job. He used his master's money to procure a better future for himself.
Now why on earth would Jesus speak a parable like this?—and then commend someone for doing something that you could easily argue is dishonest and immoral? But there's something we can learn from this parable about money: you can use it to buy things, but you can also use it to transform bad situations. In the parable, the exchange of money brings two persons into a relationship of mutual blessing. That's what the dishonest manager learns. The exchange of money makes the debtors and the manager "rich."
So let me ask you a question: do you consider yourself blessed?
In many ways, we could all answer "yes" and "no" to that question—regardless of the state of our bank balances or the size of our paychecks. For many of us, money is the single biggest stressor in life. There's unemployment, medical bills, student loans, dwindling retirement savings, rising prices, and an American Dream that is becoming increasingly out of reach. So often it seems as though there's far too little money to go around. But we all have Godly riches—simply because we are baptized into the Body of Christ; forgiven and redeemed by his precious body and blood; sealed with the promise of God's coming Kingdom. And God takes care of us. So even if you're not rich with money, you are nonetheless rich with the gifts and talents God gave you when God made you. Living as a disciple of Jesus Christ is simply investing whatever gifts God has given you in your neighbors out of love.
You can always keep your riches to yourself, monetary or otherwise. What is a consumer, but someone who devours what is of benefit to him/herself, and throws the rest away? But what would life be like if we stopped focusing on accumulating and consuming? What if we broadened our horizon to invest what we have in others as well as ourselves?
This isn't anything drastic or heroic… It's stewardship: using whatever you have to ease your neighbor's burdens—while perhaps even gaining the wealth of a new relationship with the neighbor you bless. Communities of Christ are built when we take care of each other; using what we have to meet our neighbor's needs. God's will is that we take care of our neighbors—and that our neighbors take care of us.
This is what our church has done over the last two weekends: we and our neighbors had an abundance of good-quality clothing. So we brought it to the church. We gave our time to unpack the bags and sort them out. Then we opened our doors, and our neighbor's needs were met. Many of us got clothing for ourselves. But the greatest gifts were the people who came into this church; that we served in love. Our church can't solve everyone's problems. But we can help ease each other's burdens.
This is what happens when we put God's gifts to work. Burdens are eased. Hurts are healed. Hope is created. Relationships bloom and blossom. Giver and receiver are transformed. Jesus Christ is known and praised.
So challenge yourself this week to pray for those who are poor—those financially poor or poor of health' poor of faith, of hope; of loving relationships, or otherwise. Then let the Spirit inspire you and then empower you to use whatever you have to make things better. Believe you have the power to make a difference because you are created and saved by God. In your lives as consumers, use even those transactions to bless the people whose labors produce what you need. Be a patient customer; a generous tipper; support small businesses; buy fairly-traded merchandise. Do it because you love Jesus.
Let's build communities where people take care of each other instead of relying on the government or economic recovery. Let's show the world God's love in the love we give to each other. Let's heal and be healed. Let's change things.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana will sanction Lender Processing Services (LPS) after an employee at the firm was found to have improperly signed a court affidavit that put a nondefaulted borrower in line for foreclosure. Ron and LaRhonda Wilson were current on their mortgage and making payments under a court-approved Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan when Option One Mortgage Co., their mortgage servicer, attempted to foreclose in early 2008 by filing a series of motions with the court. The U.S. Trustee, a U.S. Department of Justice unit responsible for overseeing the administration of bankruptcy cases, eventually intervened in the dispute and last December asked the Louisiana court to sanction LPS for what it said was the firm's misrepresentation of payments received, but not properly posted to the borrower's account.
The case In September 2007, the Wilsons filed for bankruptcy when they defaulted on their mortgage, owned by Option One, now American Home Mortgage. Monthly payments were scheduled with the court to pay back what they owed, and the plan was confirmed in December 2007. But the following January, Option One filed a motion for relief from stay, alleging the Wilsons had failed to meet that plan and asking the court to allow a foreclosure to proceed. In February 2008, the borrowers contested the motion and claimed they were current on the plan. When Option One failed to prove the default the motion was dismissed, but a second motion was filed soon thereafter, alleging the Wilsons had been in default for over four months. In the second motion, Option One included an affidavit signed by Dory Goebel, who was named as an assistant secretary at Option One under a corporate resolution — a common practice in the industry in which a company gives limited authority, such as authority for signing foreclosure affidavits, to another person. Goebel was identified in the case as an LPS employee. Goebel's affidavit affirmed the Wilsons missed monthly installments since November 2007 through February 2008, and showed the last payment was applied to the balance in October 2007. At a hearing in April 2008, however, the Wilsons showed complete receipts for payments made from October 2007 through March 2008. According to the Magner ruling, what followed was a series of hearings that saw The Boles Law Firm and LPS attempting to track down proof of the default — instead finding a mix-up involving a mortgage finance system reliant on computer technology. During a court hearing on the case in June 2008, the attorney at Boles admitted the Wilsons were, in fact, current on their loan. Technology snafus LPS provides much of the underlying technology used to manage mortgage servicing in the U.S., establishing a library of underlying loan information and data. Option One employees put their loan information into that library, and when attorneys need it to process foreclosures and other actions, they would "check out the information," an LPS attorney told the court in August 2008. The company expanded beyond technology into providing services for clients, as well. One of the services LPS provided at the time — since discontinued years ago — was to execute affidavits of indebtedness attesting that an employee, such as Goebel in the Wilson case, had reviewed material information regarding the borrower's loan, payment history and amount owed. "[I]t was simply one less thing that the client had to do, that we would do," the LPS attorney said, according to court documents. "She (Goebel) would go into their system, look at what has been posted, what hasn't been posted. And I think what happened here was just a series of miscommunications." Goebel testified at that hearing, as well, explaining that LPS employees had no way to verify received but unposted payments. The problem in the Wilson case occurred because, although the Wilsons filed for bankruptcy in September 2007, the LPS bankruptcy workstation was not set up until two months later. So, when the Wilsons made their first October 2007 payment under the court-approved bankruptcy plan, it was not posted to the correct month — but instead to the already past-due June 2007 installment. From then on, the Wilsons were considered in default as far as the computer system was concerned. The 'sham' affidavit Once the Wilsons contested their alleged redefault on the mortgage in February 2008, LPS discovered the misapplied October 2007 payment entered by Option One into its system. While a manual correction fixed some of the misapplied and unapplied payments, it did not fix all of errors in the computer system — which now told Boles to consider the Wilson loan past due as of December 2007, instead of October 2007. LPS contended the Boles Law Firm knew of payments the law firm had previously been forwarded that weren't yet posted in the computer system, noting it had "attempted on numerous occasions to remind the [Boles] Firm that it was in possession of the unposted payments." Regardless, Judge Magner ultimately held LPS responsible for filing what she characterized as a "sham" affidavit of indebtedness with the court, based upon the misinformation in its technology system. "The affidavit is typical. It purports to be executed under oath before a notary and two (2) witnesses," Magner said in her ruling. "It provides the name and title of the affiant and represents that the affiant has personal knowledge of the facts contained in the affidavit. In fact, it is a sham." LPS officers executed 1,000 documents per day for Option One and other clients, and testified that each day Goebel received roughly 30 documents to sign, according to court documents. Ms. Goebel allocated two hours per day for "document execution" and she estimated in her testimony that it took her between five and 10 minutes to sign each one, reviewing the computer record of those payments posted. The judge characterized Goebel as an "earnest young woman but with no training or experience in banking or lending" for her job and title of "assistant secretary." Goebel admitted she would have signed the affidavit, even if she knew of the unposted payments, without questioning it because her signature was requested by legal counsel at The Boles Firm. "It is evident that LPS blindly relied on counsel to account for the loan and all material representations. In short, the affidavit was nothing other than a farce and hardly the evidence required to support relief," Magner wrote in her ruling. Magner said default affidavits were meant to be a lender's representation to the court of the status of the loan and were accepted routinely in state and federal courts in lieu of live testimony. "They are an accommodation to the lending community based on a belief by the courts that the facts they present are virtually unassailable. The deference afforded the lending community has resulted in an abuse of trust," Magner wrote. Enough blame to go around In a brief filed in February 2011, LPS attorneys claimed the questioning of Goebel during the August hearing "strayed outside of the protocol she followed to broad, often imprecise, questioning about what other Fidelity employees did, or should have done, as part of the relationship between and among Fidelity, Option One Mortgage Co., and the Boles Law Firm." LPS attorneys also claimed that the Boles Law Firm knew of the unposted payments involving the Wilsons, since the firm had specifically requested payments to be forwarded to it — yet the firm then filed a motion to lift stay without mentioning those same payments. Further, LPS cited previous cases finding that "a clear and convincing standard of proof" is required for punitive sanctions. "The [U.S. Trustee] has failed to show with clear and convincing evidence that Ms. Goebel should be imputed with the knowledge of everyone at Fidelity or that Ms. Goebel intentionally sought to deceive this court," LPS attorneys said in their final brief filed with the court prior to Magner's ruling. Nearly every major mortgage servicer, already struggling with a foreclosure inventory too large for many to handle, has had to correct and refile improperly signed affidavits in courts across the country. Refiled affidavits totaled in the tens of thousands for some servicers, and have led to months of delays in the foreclosure process. Federal regulators and the 50 state attorneys general launched investigations and began settlement negotiations with the nation's largest mortgage servicers in the wake of the revelations. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency expects to release its own settlement Wednesday, while sources tell HousingWire the coalition of other federal regulators and the AGs could take months — if any such settlement is reached at all. When the initial reports of improper affidavits and other foreclosure problems first appeared last year, it became clear that no single company was alone in bowing to a push for blind efficiency. In her ruling, Magner suggests that such shortcuts were rampant across an entire industry. "The fraud perpetrated on the court, debtors and trustee would be shocking if this court had less experience concerning the conduct of mortgage servicers. One too many times, this court has been witness to the shoddy practices and sloppy accountings of the mortgage service industry," Magner said in her ruling. "With each revelation, one hopes that the bottom of the barrel has been reached and that the industry will self correct. Sadly, this does not appear to be reality." Write to Jon Prior.

When Mr. Nitish Kumar assumed office of the Chief Minister of Bihar in 2005 (earlier he was CM for a few days in 2000) there were great expectations. Under his leadership, Bihar was expected to improve in the law and order situation, infrastructure and the economy. At that time Bihar had the lowest per capita net state domestic product(NSDP). Now after years of his rule Bihar still has the lowest NSDP of Rs.20,000 (2010-11) Haryana's NSDP is over Rs.92000. There is no significant improvement in the law and order situation or in infrastructure.
In spite of his best intentions and efforts the CM could not effect much improvement because it seems that the people are not in a mood to work hard and honestly. It is time to urge people to put in hard work and be honest and committed in work. The other reason is that the state is too large to govern effectively. It has a population of over 10 crores (of course UP and Maharashtra are bigger). Bihar is bigger than about 180 countries out of about 193 countries in the world. For administrative convenience and faster economic development and social improvement, Bihar should be divided into two states. Even with less efficient administrations, both the new states will develop much faster than now.

One reason for the large number of foreclosures and short sales the last few years is the inability of homeowners that owe more on a home than it is worth to refinance, simply because when finding a mortgage company they don't make the right decision.
Many that purchased their homes during the hot market in '05/'06 the 2004-2007 time-frame purchased with adjustable mortgages – some of them with very unfavorable rates after the first few years. The "plan" at the time was that you would buy as much house as yo could afford based on the initial lower ARM payment – and simply refinance when the rates went up. However, when prices started falling and credit became scarce people ended up with homes they could not afford and could not refinance or sell.
With a new proposed rule change, the government's existing Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) would be available to homeowners who owe more than 125% of the value of their home (it currently is available up to 105% of the value.) So, someone with a mortgage of $250,000 could possibly qualify, even if the appraisal on their home came in at only $200,000. this would indeed make homes more affordable with the current 30 year fixed rates at about 4%.
The borrower would still have to qualify – lending standards are tougher these days – even for HARP. Also, homeowners would have to be OK with putting more money into an already underwater home in the form of closing costs etc.

System for Cross-domain Identity Management
System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a standard for automating the exchange of user identity information between identity domains, or IT systems.
One example might be that as a company onboards new employees and separates from existing employees, they are added and removed from the company's electronic employee directory. SCIM could be used to automatically add/delete (or, provision/de-provision) accounts for those users in external systems such as G Suite, Office 365, or Salesforce.com. Then, a new user account would exist in the external systems for each new employee, and the user accounts for former employees might no longer exist in those systems.
In addition to simple user-record management (creating & deleting), SCIM can also be used to share information about user attributes, attribute schema, and group membership. Attributes could range from user contact information to group membership. Group membership or other attribute values are generally used to manage user permissions. Attribute values and group assignments can change, adding to the challenge of maintaining the relevant data across multiple identity domains.[1]
The SCIM standard has grown in popularity and importance, as organizations use more SaaS tools.[2][3] A large organization can have hundreds or thousands of hosted applications (internal and external) and related servers, databases and file shares that require user provisioning. Without a standard connection method, companies must write custom software connectors to join these systems and their IdM system.[4]
SCIM uses a standardised API through REST with data formatted in JSON or XML.[1]
The first version, SCIM 1.0, was released in 2011 by a SCIM standard working group organized under the Open Web Foundation.[5] In 2011, it was transferred to the IETF, and the current standard, SCIM 2.0 was released as IETF RFC in 2015.[2][6]
SCIM 2.0 was completed in September 2015 and is published as IETF RFCs 7643[7] and 7644.[8] A use-case document is also available as RFC7642.[9]
The standard has been implemented in various IdM software.[10]
The standard was initially called Simple Cloud Identity Management (as it is still called this in some places), but the name was officially changed to System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) when the IETF adopted it.[11]
Interoperability was demonstrated in October, 2011, at the Cloud Identity Summit, an IAM industry conference. There, user accounts were provisioned and de-provisioned across separate systems using SCIM standards, by a collection of IdM software vendors: Okta, Ping Identity, SailPoint, Technology Nexus and UnboundID.[3] In March 2012, at IETF 83 in Paris, Interoperability tests continued by the same vendors, joined by Salesforce.com, BCPSoft, WSO2, Gluu, and Courion (now SecureAuth) - nine companies in total.[12]
SCIM is the second standard for exchanging user data, but it builds on prior standards (e.g. SPML, PortableContacts, vCards, and LDAP directory services) in an attempt to be a simpler and more widely adopted solution for cloud services providers.[13][14]
The SCIM standard is growing in popularity and has been adopted by numerous identity providers (e.g. Azure Active Directory) as well as applications (e.g. Dynamic Signal, Zscaler, and Dropbox).

Job Title: Life Skills Evening ESOL Teacher
Employment Type: Part-Time Contract Consultant
Organization: CASA
Department: Education, ESOL Program
Reports to: Community Education Manager
Hours: Mon-Thurs from 7 PM to 9 PM, periodically includes Friday make-up classes from 7 PM to 9 PM
Location: Northwood High School, 919 University Blvd W, Silver Spring, MD 20901
CASA's mission is to create a more just society by building power and improving the quality of life in working class and immigrant communities. Our vision is a future where we stand in our own power, our families live free from discrimination and fear, and our diverse communities thrive as we work with our partners to achieve full human rights for all. CASA has a sister organization, CASA in Action, a separate, but related, nonprofit organization that is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Although CASA and CASA in Action share a common goal of supporting immigrants and low-income people in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, they are separate organizations with their own board of directors. A set of employees at the two organizations, including the person filling this position, shares their time between the two organizations. This has no effect on salary or benefits. For more information, please visit www.weareacasa.org.
The Education Department supports CASA's two generation approach to education, provides supportive services to the schools CASA partners with, initiates and fosters strong relationships between the public school system and parents, and oversees CASA's efforts to improve educational outcomes for immigrant students and their families through coordinated interdepartmental efforts within CASA. The department also supports CASA's expanding education policy work in strategic partnership with the Department of Politics & Communications.
The Education Department's Life Skills ESOL (in English for Speakers of Other Languages) Program uses Popular Education and Traditional Education methodologies to address the educational needs of its adult learners and to provide them with otherwise unavailable educational opportunities.
"Popular Education is a collective and long-term educational process that empowers educator and students to apply a critical eye to the current political, socio-economic, and cultural reality in order to transform it… Popular Education differs radically from mere training or the simple transmission of information. It allows people to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to understand, make commitments, come up with ideas, transform, and be transformed." – Ranulfo Peloso.
Lessons are focused upon concrete and practical everyday experiences. Students, as adults, come to class with experiences they are encouraged to share and peer teach while performing tasks. Class materials are geared towards student's life experiences and promote both civic engagement and community empowerment. Our classes also serve to empower students to make positive social change within their community and connect students to concrete opportunities to join other CASA members in the fight for immigration reform, workers' rights, universal equality, and social justice.
The Evening Life Skills ESOL Program is housed at Northwood High School, located at 919 University Blvd West, Silver Spring, MD 20901. The contract period for this position covers two eight-week sessions (Winter 2019 from 1/28/19 to 3/21/19 and Spring 2019 from 4/1/19 to 5/23/19). This position is part-time, temporary with the potential for contract renewal at the end of the Spring 2019 session. There will be two (2) evenings of mandatory teacher orientation on 1/22/19 and 1/23/19 from 6 P.M. to 9 P.M.
The pay is $18 per hour. There are two hours of in class teaching time plus thirty minutes of prep-time daily, for a total of 10 hours per week. This is a contract, part-time consultant position without any benefits including no unemployment benefits. Evening hours are: Monday to Thursday from 7 to 9 P.M. with some Friday evenings required, especially for make-up classes at the start of each session. Candidates must be available to teach all four evenings of class and all Friday make-up classes for the entirety of the contract period from 1/22/19 to 5/24/19.
Please email your cover letter and resume to Shannon Wilk, Community Education Manager, at email@example.com. You can also apply for this position through the CASA website at https://wearecasa.org/join-us/.

Food Cravings?Eh…potatoes if I had to name one.
Belly button in or out? In. It stayed in the whole time with Noah and I figure it will with this one too.
Milestones? Half way there baby! and it's a GIRL!
And, since it was such a beautiful day today we went on a family walk thus no picture for you. Maybe tomorrow after I get home from work.

Backyard Essentials for a Summer Outdoors
MISSION, KS--(Marketwired - May 9, 2016) - (Family Features) From a leisurely afternoon watching the kids play in the sprinkler to an evening cookout with friends under the stars, it's the perfect time of year to bask in the comfort and beauty of your own backyard. Take this year's outdoor enjoyment to a new level with items designed to keep you and your fellow revelers safe and ready for food and fun.
Easy Summer Entertaining
There's something about summer that makes casual get-togethers great. The menu can be simple, an outdoor setting makes decorating a cinch and the options for entertainment are nearly endless. Put a special touch on your celebrating with these ideas:
Savor the Flavors of Summertime
Summer heat has everyone reaching for hot dogs, barbecue and refreshing cocktails. Now, with Barefoot Refresh Spritzers in a lightweight, single-serve can, you can enjoy the flavors of summer where wine glasses and bottles aren't always welcome - including poolside, beaches, parks and your own backyard. Available in Crisp White and Summer Red varieties, these spritzers are best enjoyed straight from the chilled can, poured over ice or mixed in a cocktail. For more information, visit BarefootWine.com.
Help Your Skin Recover After Too Much Sun
Lose track of time on the beach? Miss that spot applying sunscreen? Sun exposure sneaks up on all of us. That's why it's important to have a product such as SunBurnt Advanced After-Sun Gel on hand. It instantly cools, rehydrates and repairs, helping skin recover from getting too much sun. It's gentle on even the most sensitive skin and combines some of nature's best healing and hydrating ingredients, plus aloe, in a unique, non-sticky formula. For more information, go to sunburnt.com.
Be Prepared for Burns, Bites and Scrapes
Summer means backyards, beaches and big adventures. Unfortunately, it can also mean bumps, bugs and run-ins with the grill. With First Degree Multi-Symptom Burn Cream, you're prepared for minor burns, bug bites and scrapes before they strike. It's 96 percent natural and works on contact to soothe pain and itching, boost healing and help reduce the appearance of scars. Keep First Degree in your first aid kit and keep yourself in the fun. For more information, visit firstdegree.com.
Keep Hot Summer Parties on Ice
On those hot summer days when it's necessary to have quick access to a cold drink outdoors, keeping a well-stocked cooler on hand is the perfect solution. You can take food and drinks with you to outdoor activities, such as tailgating, camping, parties and backyard entertaining, with portable coolers. With various sizes available, you can pack everything from meat for the grill and condiments to two-liter bottles of soda and other sips of choice inside and let the outdoor fun begin.
Grill Up Some Goodness
Nothing adds to a backyard party quite like the aroma and flavor of delicious grilled fare. From traditional favorites like burgers and hot dogs to chicken, steak, fish or kebabs, having a grill that can do it all is imperative. From portable models you can also use while camping or tailgating to grills built into an outdoor kitchen, there's one to fit every need. Look for grills with features such as a side burner, multiple racks or storage space that make grilling up a full summer menu easier.
Serveware with a Purpose
Perfect for all of those backyard barbecues, and featuring artwork by PBS cooking show host Jacques Pepin, the Pass the Plate serving platter generates a $5 donation each time an individually numbered platter is passed and registered online. With its fresh and cheery design, this unique serving piece, which is available for $24.95 at Villeroy & Boch stores or by calling 1-888-886-8318, makes sharing even more fun.
