A history of food
Tanya Steel loves her mother but not necessarily her mother's cooking. "My mom was and remains one of the worst cooks in the world, God love her," Steel said with a laugh.
The need to prepare a good meal while growing up therefore led Steel to spend more time than usual in the kitchen for someone her age. She was inspired by watching Julia Child's cooking show on PBS-TV. "I thought what she did was so cool and started cooking," she said.
Steel, a longtime editor at food magazines and websites and an author, has just released a new book for young adults and other children focusing on the history of food.
The book, Food Fight! A Mouthwatering History of Who Ate What and Why Through the Ages, covers the discovery of controlled fire by humans for cooking food in pre-historic times to the potential of Martian agriculture in the future.
It highlights unusual meals people used to eat, interesting ways they gathered ingredients and cooked, and what children's lives were like at important moments in history. Each chapter focuses on a major period of world history.
Steel, a former Ridgefield resident who now lives nearby in New York state, said the subject combines her passion for food and history. She spent three years researching and writing the book.
It includes 30 period-inspired recipes, photos and illustrations, and Yucky Habits of Yore that offer insight into weird foods and preparation methods from throughout human history.
She's pleased with the job that publisher National Geographic Kids did packaging the book, especially the many graphic elements. "I wanted it to be appealing, interactive and fun so kids would really enjoy it," she said.
Teaching children how to select and prepare food is important, according to Steel. "If you start them young it becomes a lifelong passion and skill, and helps guarantee they'll always be able to feed themselves — and hopefully with something healthy," she said. "That's one of my goals in life."
From 2012 to 2016, Steel worked with then-First Lady Michelle Obama on bettering the diets of young Americans by creating the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge and Kids State Dinner. The national youth recipe competition's winners were invited to attend an annual dinner at the White House.
"They've gone on to be ambassadors for good eating," Steel said of participants. "We encouraged them to think of themselves as leaders in this movement."
She's optimistic more children and their families are beginning to understand the importance of eating well. "It seems the pendulum has changed and people are more aware and eating healthier," she said. "Kids really have gotten the message."
One chapter in her book focuses on the 1960s in America, including the impact of the space race on culture and food. The chapter's recipe is a fruitcake for astronauts developed for NASA by the U.S. Army.
Another chapter looks at the potential of food production in space, highlighting hydroponics, protein products that mimic the taste of animal products, 3D food printing and virtual schooling.
What are some of those Yucky Habits of Yore?
Well, until a few hundred years ago, children in many parts of the world would be in charge of gathering fire-starting material for their families, and a popular option was animal dung. "Sheep poop in particular is very good at starting fires," Steel said.
Romans would use human urine to clean items such as their togas and to help fire up pottery, and buzzards were in demand during American Revolutionary times for their willingness to devour trash. "They were the first garbagemen," she said.
Steel, 54, grew up in Manhattan and later moved to Westchester County, N.Y. She has two college-aged children.
She's CEO of Cooking Up Big Dreams LLC, has published two previous cookbooks, is award director for the Julia Child Award, worked on food hunger issues, and created Canada's Kid Food Nation to improve food skills and support healthy eating habits.
She's held top editorial positions at the food websites Clean Plates, Epicurious and Gourmet.com, and at the magazines Bon Appetit and Food & Wine. She's made appearances on national TV shows such as Good Morning America, The Today Show and Dr. Oz.
She recently was appointed director of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, a select group of cooking school owners, chefs, restaurateurs, food writers and artisan food producers.
Steel still does a lot of her own cooking, describing herself as a big soup and salad person. "Butternut squash is my favorite right now," she said, adding she also loves her desserts.
Having healthy options that can be prepared in a few minutes is crucial in today's fast-paced society, she said. "There are ways we can use shortcuts, and certain recipes and ingredients, and do it in 10 minutes with family and make it a nice experience," she said.
Steel said no matter how much food preparation changes in the years to come, there "will never be a replacement for sharing a meal with people you love."
She hopes the book will help young people "realize they're the culmination in many ways of all the things that came before them, inspiring them to be the best people they can be.

The rich functionality of RM Assessor enables a clear and intuitive e-marking experience, delivered completely online. The platform is internationally recognised as a growing market leader across the globe.Download RM Assessor Brochure
RM Assessor provides the flexibility to 'human mark' scanned scripts, converted electronic files, rich multi-media (audio visual), e-coursework portfolios and e-content from computer-based testing systems. It can accommodate both long and short answer responses as well as allowing markers to input marks where a physical paper or submission cannot be scanned.
Markers can switch between 'mark by candidate' and 'mark by question', depending on their preference. The system also increases efficiency with 'zoning' functionality, enabling administrators to assign specific questions or question groups to the markers with the most relevant topic expertise.
Questions can be annotated so that good/weak practice is noted, helping to steer the final mark awarded. RM Assessor also features a useful range of marking tools such as the protractor, and rulers to e-mark scale-drawn charts and diagrams.
We understand that it's essential to standardise markers against definitively marked responses before live marking preparation. RM Assessor's simulation and practice marking modes allow for appropriate examiner preparation and ensure standardised marking practice.
Where desired, responses can be marked by more than one examiner as standard, and marks auto-compared using acceptable tolerances to arrive at an agreed final mark or to flag a marking discrepancy.
Seeding is the process of randomly introducing scripts or items that have already been marked and given an agreed score to ensure markers are all marking to the same standard. Seeds appear exactly the same as 'real' scripts in the examiner's allocation, and the system will compare the pre-allocated score with the examiner's score to check marking quality. Team leaders can also perform one-off spot checks at any stage of the marking.
RM Assessor enables communication between the remote marking teams and their team leaders and allows any marking or examiner issues to be flagged and quickly resolved in real-time.
Team leaders are alerted to incoming messages and exceptions. By being able to quickly resolve marking queries with team leaders, marking pace is maintained to target level.
Once definitive marks have been awarded, RM Assessor exports marks to awarding body systems.
RM Assessor allows marks collation and script rating to support grade boundary decisions.
RM Assessor allows auto-assign grades (according to pre-defined grade boundaries) to marked responses.
Awarding can be configured entirely to meet the specific scheme and requirements defined by the awarding body.
Using RM Assessor, administrators can efficiently plan, track and manage users and roles, exam components and item groups through each exam session.
The platform enables team leaders to manage and support markers completely online. This means that team leaders can view marking progress at any time, communicate with markers and resolve any marking issues.
Using RM Assessor, administrators manage the scanning and indexing of scripts, and also manipulate scripts as required and create and amend image zones for mark by question or groups of questions.
Senior management teams can use RM Assessor reports to monitor management information, including marking speed, progress against plan and established targets and allows drill-down to component or examiner level to identify issues.
RM Assessor offers a wide array of reports, including marking quality reports, which can be run at any time to track marking quality from standardisation through to live marking. Team Leaders can view marking trends at high level or in detail and can identify any stuck markers.
RM Assessor is offered as Software as a Service (SaaS) or can be self-hosted by any customer or partner, it is also accessible via the Internet, meaning that markers have secure 24 x7 access.
Because RM Assessor is accessed via an internet browser, markers do not require the software to be installed locally. RM Assessor can be accessed on Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows computers using a browser.
RM Assessor can be delivered in any language and can accommodate terminology specific to awarding bodies.
Platform security features include; secure password re-set, recovery and, where required, single sign-on. This ensures that the system is kept secure at all times, but still has the flexibility needed for markers.
The platform can directly integrate with scanning, indexing and general third party administration systems.
RM Assessor integrates with any content management system or secure public cloud (eg Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS) to access images of scripts for marking.
RM Assessor features an integration platform for two-way data interoperability with e-authoring, e-testing, analytics/BI and other digital assessment systems. Click here for more information.
RM Results has retained an ISO 27001 certification since 2008, which demonstrates that we follow international information security best practices.
During peak marking periods, examiners have access to support 7 days a week. Our helpdesk operatives are experienced and specially trained.
We have the security of RM Assessor tested by an external third party company with each release, so you can be sure you're in reliable hands.

Collecting all the votes I received on my blog and on Young Writers Online, it seems folks want to see "Lendergross and Eaves" first (following closely by "Suckled at the Edge of Flesh"). Cool beans. That gives me some direction and focus.
And so, for your gentle reminder, here's the description (once more) of the upcoming WISB Short Story, "Lendergross and Eaves":
Set in the same city as the previous story, and in roughly the same era.
The Anurians of Bifur live out their toad-like lives in the slums, eking out an existence while the city finds new ways to exploit them. Except for Terk. He's cornered the Eaves market, pushing illicit drugs as high as the elite circles. That is until someone important is murdered with Terk's calling card all over him. Except Terk doesn't kill people. Maims? Sure. But never kills. Which means someone is trying to set him up to ruin him. Unless he can figure out who's behind it all and clear his name. Well, mostly clear his name, that is…
I shall finish it soon!


text: Following the release of the aptly named addictive track "Addicted", Body Language shares second single "Can't Hang On", a club ready track that showcases upcoming album Mythos' blend of R&B, bass, pop, and house music. Though the band has been known for a signature blend of "future-shocked soul", Mythos pushes the quartet even further into unknown sonic territories, making every genre they touch their own. The release of "Can't Hang On" comes complete with a Dub remix from Om Records founder Shiny Objects.

My wife and I were deathly (hyperbole) sick yesterday. We are pretty sure that we got it from our daughter, who more than likely got it from our church's nursery.
Anytime kids gather together in masses, sickness runs rampant. It got me thinking "how could text alerts help keep people from getting sick?"
One our Omaha churches had a good solution. They were having troubles with a lot of sickness going around their nursery, so they started texting parents on either Saturday night or Sunday morning "Reminder — Please don't bring children if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms in the last 24-hours: Fever, sore throat, or vomiting"
You may have a different symptoms list depending on your church, but this quick reminder was a great way to get parents to really think about if they should be taking their kid today.
Do you have any other suggestions on how to keep sickness out of your church's nursery?

Why is it that the word teabag insists on sounding so obscene? Am I twelve? Ah well.
There was a thing on Pinterest. Isn't that always the way? This time it was a simple tutorial for turning a t-shirt into a market bag, essentially by sewing up the bottom and cutting out the neck and sleeves. I had a knitting t-shirt that I loved but looked terrible in, and a need for a sweater sized project bag.
It was a match made in pinner heaven!
The shirt was from Decor Noir on etsy, and is the best knitting related graphic ever. Now it's my new and improved sweater bag!
I wouldn't risk it as a reusable grocery bag (though it would have the virtue of being easily washable) because the handles feel a little weak, but it's perfect for carrying a knitting WIP. If I were doing it again I would have sewn some red piping from my stash into the bottom seam to add structure and cuteness.
There you have it! Do you get sucked in by tutorials on Pinterest? Do they work out for you? Do tell.

Italian Long Sweet Chile Peppers
Inventory, lb : 93.84
This item was last sold on : 09/19/19
|Fresno Evergreen Farms
Italian Long Sweet peppers range from lime citron to deep forest green and are 20 to 25 centimeters long with a curving convoluted shape. They quickly ripen to bright red color when fully mature. Its walls are thin and tender, encompassing few seeds that are perfectly edible and add a sweet taste to the pepper. The raw peppers are succulent and crisp but then transform into a creamy smoky treat when cooked. They offer the perfect combination of sweetness and crunch, with roasted, delicate, complex flavors.
Italian Long Sweet peppers may be found year-round with peak season in the summer.
Current Facts
Italian Long Sweet peppers are a variety of Capsicum annuum, and may also be commonly referred to as Italianelles or Italian Frying peppers. Unlike some peppers that are unpleasantly bitter and acrid when unripe, the Italian Long Sweet peppers are sweet and delicious in all stages of ripeness, whether green, yellow or red. A commonly found Italian heirloom seed variety of this species is the "Jimmy Nardello".
Nutritional Value
Like most peppers in the family, Italian Long Sweet peppers are rich in vitamins C, B6 and A, antioxidants, carotenoids and flavonoids.
Italian Long Sweet peppers are usually eaten whole, seeds and all, sautéed, grilled, charred, fried, baked and stuffed. Many recipes are beautifully simple involving nothing more than a hot pan, salt and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Their verdant pepper flavor compliments basil, thyme, parsley, garlic, onion, pine nuts, sausage and cheeses such as feta, goat, mozzarella, Parmesan, Fontina, provolone, gruyere and Gouda.
Italian Long Sweet peppers are a vigorous plant that can grow in most temperate climates with moderate rainfall. They thrive during the heat of summer and are usually mature for harvest within 60-70 days of germination. The seeds of the Jimmy Nardello variety were donated in 1983 to Seed Savers Exchange for preservation by the peppers namesake, the son of Giuseppe and Angela Nardello who brought the seed over from the costal Southern Italian town of Ruoti when them moved to America in 1887.

At the market's close, Twitter shares were down 4.6% to $17.02.
On Sunday evening, CEO Jack Dorsey announced in a tweet that product head Kevin Weil, engineering head Alex Roetter, and media head Katie Jacobs Stanton were all leaving the company, as was first reported by multiple media outlets earlier Sunday.
Dorsey, who said in his tweet that he wanted to "set the record straight" given what he described as "inaccurate press rumors," did not mention Jason Toff, the head of Vine, among the departures. However, Toff said on Twitter on Sunday night that he was leaving to work at Google. In his tweet, Dorsey did note that Brian "Skip" Schipper, the vice president of human resources, would also be leaving the company.
Twitter will also appoint two new board members soon, Business Insider has learned, and we're told one of them will be a big media name.
The news follows a rough few months for Twitter, which, since making founder Dorsey the company's CEO, has seen its share price plummet to an all-time low of $15.48 last week before experiencing a rebound, apparently triggered by a false rumor about a tie-up with News Corp.
Twitter's stock has been under pressure for months, as the company struggles to boost user growth. Its plummeting value has sparked constant speculation that Twitter could become an acquisition target.

The episode starts off with Sato's dream about his past, where he made a promise to marry Chika. Chika breaks a promise and tells everyone a secret she had with Sato. Sato overhears this and thinks she is talking about his proposal. Aihara makes the situation hilarious since she asked a question, "Even now, all this time"?, while referring to something else. Sato answers her and makes Aihara pity him. In the end he finds out, Chika told everyone about how he wet his bed, and not the proposal. Sato gets upset and sulks over this matter, and everyone tries to cheer him up. Chika and Sato make up and life goes on the next day. Aihara gets another loose tooth and attacks Sato. Megumi's breasts are getting more developed. Natsumi wears a skirt. Kouji still shows off with his tricks.
Overall this was a good series, although I still prefer the OVA series over this one. Many of my favorite moments were still in the TV series. This series is definitely worth watching if you're looking for something to laugh at. I, myself, enjoyed this show from beginning to end.
- Breaking promises can lead to bad things, such as misunderstandings.
- Who else thinks Aihara is the best character?
- The constant flashbacks of their promise.
- Aihara's sure-kill move, her face techniques.
- Aihara, agile like a cat.
- Natsumi, amazing change.
- Megumi, physical change.
- Chika, emotionally changed.
- Sato and Kouji, no change.

Mary Alice Taylor was chairman and chief executive of HomeGrocer.com from September 1999 to October 2000, when the Kirkland-based online grocer (famous for its peach-emblazoned vans) was sold to rival Webvan. It took that company less than a year to drive the entire venture into the ground. Taylor is now an independent business executive, who serves on the boards of Allstate, Autodesk and Sabre Holdings. Meanwhile, Blue Nile CEO Mark Vadon's take-home pay (including bonus) was $357,725 in 2005, a 4.8 percent drop from the year before when he received a heftier bonus. Vadon owns 1.7 million shares, or 9.7 percent of the company. Comments | More in E-commerce

Hello again!
I apologize to those of you who have visited the site recently for updates on me and my books. There was a little snag in renewing my site that ended up deleting everything.
As you can see though, I still have my wonderful gifs and memes, so all is not lost 😉
Is it a bummer that all those fun memories are gone? Yes. But it's okay. There are so many more wonderful experiences coming up that I want to share with you and now I have a pretty new site to do it on!
So please, lovely readers, explore the new site. It has fantastic new features like an events calendar (check out the event on 8/10!), an email system so we can better stay in touch, and even a shop where you can buy signed books and limited edition items directly from me! There will be some sales coming up as we approach Ignited's release that will only be available on this site, too.
If there are things you liked from the old one and wished were here, please let me know and I will see if I can find them in my files. With the comments and replies fixed, I should be able to message you back now!
After watching several hours of tutorials on how to create this wonderful space, I'm signing off to relax with a show of some sort 😉

I'm afraid I don't have much to write about the Oceania champs, other than that they were a pretty painful reminder of how frustrating the injury management process is. I worked hard for VIS teammate Bridie O'Donnell (as did the rest of the Jayco-VIS crew) and she came 2nd, but I spent the next day packed in ice and not able to ride much. C'est la vie.
The 'O-shees' were held in Shepparton, VIC, which is of course the home of the SPC Ardmona canning factory. Knowing how fond athletes are of living on baked beans, the organisers thoughtfully selected a host city that would satisfy our need for both racing and purchasing discounted bulk foodstuffs. I will not tell you how much I spent on beans; suffice to say it exceeded my coffee budget for the month and it's probably best you avoid standing downwind from me for the next year or so. My excitement at visiting the SPC factory was matched only by my gratitude toward the barista who saved the day with a caffeine hit moments before. My first aid recollection is rusty, but I'm pretty sure the 'C' in St John's DRABC stands for Coffee. It was hard to say who was the biggest hero that day - Shara Gillow for doing the double (now 2011 Oceania RR & TT champion!), the barista, or the servo attendant on the way home who provided both steamed AND fried dim sims. Let's call it a three-way tie.
Best of luck to all the guys and gals who are jetting off to Europe for the first world cup. Allez!! For me, this week promises to be filled with gym, physio, massage and pilates reformer machines. I'm going to nail this bastard.
Ride Happy

Sony's reveal in yesterday's Famitsu of a big, bad, brand new Vita game is backed up today with a teaser site and some new images. It starts with a man in a dungeon, then a series of fiery, fiendish looking demons and then same art from the previous story, which seems to hint at an evolution of the Monster Hunting genre.
There's English text to help keep us in the loop and a reminder of the official unveiling event, lets just hope they don't cock it up like Amazon did for the God of War unveiling.

Downtown's Sam Houston Hotel is planning to join a new brand of independent hotels launched by Hilton Worldwide that will include unique four- and five-star properties around the world.
The owner of the historic hotel has signed a letter of intent to become part of the new brand, called Curio. Hilton announced the brand Monday, along with four other properties that will be included in the launch:
Just as the word "curio" can refer to something of interest, unique or even rare, each Curio hotel will be different from the next, with individuality being a common thread, along with the quiet reassurance of the Hilton name behind every location.
Letters of intent have been signed for the following properties: SLS Las Vegas Hotel & Casino; The Sam Houston Hotel in Houston, Texas; Hotel Alex Johnson in Rapid City, S.D.; The Franklin Hotel in Chapel Hill, N.C.; and a soon to be named hotel development in downtown Portland, Ore.
"With Curio, we can help owners leverage our scale, scope and expertise while keeping intact each hotel's individual character," Jim Holthouser, executive vice president of global brands for Hilton Worldwide, said in the announcement.
The Sam Houston Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. American Liberty Hospitality will continue to manage the hotel when it joins the Curio brand later this year, according to Hilton.

Advent 8: My Autumn Reads (Part 1)
How I lost you - Jenny Blackhurst: This book had me downloading at this line: I have no memory of what happened but I was told I killed my son. And you believe what your loved ones, your doctor and the police tell you, don't you?
What ensued was a twisting and turning thriller about a woman sent to a psychiatric unit after killing her young child. When she's let out she re-invents her self in a new area. Then she received a letter addressed to her former self and it makes her question whether she really did kill her child (an event she has no memory of ) and in fact whether he's dead at all.
The Children Act - Ian McKewan: This was a book group choice and I confess when the person announced their choice my heart sank. You see many years ago a friend gave me a copy of Saturday and thought I'd like it. I hated it. I never finished it. I didn't like or care about the characters enough to finish the book. I found the writing style pompous, I think I tried another of his books and felt the same. Really I did not want to ever be reading anything else by him ever again. But still it was the choice and I downloaded the book to my kindle and you know what? I enjoyed it. It made for an interesting discussion too. The book centres around a judge who has to made decisions about the lives of children and in one crucial case; whether a Jehovah's witness boy should be given life saving treatment against his and his families wishes. What results is a complex study in human nature and morality. Not a word seemed wasted in this book (which is more of a novella than chunky fiction works.) The characters were well drawn and it was a relief to hear from other members of book group that they struggled with McKewan at times and if a surgeons wife said that Saturday irritated her too (the main character was a surgeon) I felt much better for dissing such an acclaimed author.
Next up with Some Tame Gazelle by Barbara Pym and sent to me by Helen. Barbara Pym is an author I keep hearing about and yet had never read anything by her or understood her appeal. I even missed a talk about her at the World Bookcrossing Convention in Oxford this year and the room opposite mine in St Hilda's college was named after her. When Helen sent me her first novel to read I was intrigued. Step back in time to two spinster sisters living our their lives in a village where it's quite insular and everything seems to revolve around the comings and goings as the vicarage. In fact there was more men of the cloth in this novel than you could shake an incense stick at. (Oh how village life must have changed.) I enjoyed the subtle humour and characters and having started to learn to knit around the same time I enjoyed the fact someone always seemed to be knitting something.
The Good Neighbour by A J Banner was up next. This was a kindle first deal. At the start of the month Kindle offers a new book at a knock down price. There is usually about five or six books to chose from and this one appealed. Sarah settles into life in Shadow Cove with her doctor husband but when there is a fire next door resulting in the death of the family (save their little girl - who Sarah manages to rescue) and the destruction of Sarah's own home; Sarah starts to discover things about her own life are not all that they seem. A fun, fast paced domestic thriller. The kind of story I can see being made into a good TV movie.
I let you go - Clare Mackintosh. I was scrolling through my kindle and this popped up as unread. At first I thought I had read it and was confusing this with the plot of How I lost You. Similarly this thriller also concerns a woman who thinks she's responsible for a child's death. I don't want to say much more as this was cleverly written to make me think one thing and completely misdirect me for a good chunk of the novel. Much better in fact than How I Lost You.
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo was up next. Can you tell I LOVE thrillers yet? I have long given up trying to read the Harry Hole books in order (It hasn't helped they weren't released in the UK in order.) This was quite a chilling one. Women are going missing around the time of the first snow and a snowman is built at the victims home - often wearing the victims clothing or the victims head...Yes, snowman are now set to freak me out as much as scarecrows did as a child! I am used to the false killer trails and I actually plumped for the real killer very early on because there are some big obvious clues left.
By Halloween I was ready for something creepy so I opted for The Others by James Herbert. James Herbert along with Stephen King were my go to modern horror writers during my teen years and as such I probably haven't read any James Hebert for nearly 20 years. This was actually more of a detective cum romance novel with a supernatural twist. I don't find his work as disturbing as I remember it. I enjoyed this just the same and liked the main characters a lot.
It was book group reading again with The Road Home by Rose Tremain. We discussed this at book group just last week and it was a book that largely divided the group. I didn't much like it. It was bleak, depressing, stereotypical and I can't see why it won awards. There were plenty of the group that disagreed and one person even said it was the best book we'd read at book group!
I have read plenty more since, but I'll save that for another post later in the month. I'm already making a list of books I'd like to read next year. Do you have any recommendations? I'd love to hear them.

PENUMBRA THEATER presents WAITING FOR THE LUNAR ECLIPSE. On Friday February 6th the show titled MOON AND STARS opened at Bainbridge Arts and Crafts on Bainbridge Island in Washington state. Moons and stars and everything having to do with the galaxy and beyond is all imagery that excites me.
My theater, WAITING FOR THE LUNAR ECLIPSE, is loosely inspired by the photo below. I've always wanted to etch this image but the resolution is not very high and there is not enough detail in the faces. Still, every time I look at this photo, it seems to me that the people are on a stage...and the boat and driftwood are props...and the backdrop is of a starry sky. All of that is what led me to build a theater....PENUMBRA THEATER. Penumbra is such an excellent word....I love the way it rolls off the tongue. It means...the shadow cast by the earth or moon over an area experiencing a partial eclipse.
My theater is approx. 15 inches high in the front...10 inches deep....and 12 inches wide. The walls and floor are cherry and the metals are photo etched brass, copper and nickel. There is a small lever on the top that, when pushed, moves a black disc over the moon creating the lunar eclipse. There is also a momentary switch on the lower left that, when pushed, makes a subtle light turn on which represents the moonlight.
Inside the theater are three women actors who portray historic women astronomers, Annie J. Cannon, Henrietta Leavitt, and Maria Mitchell. It's hard to imagine being a woman astronomer at the turn of the century when men were so prominent in the field. In researching these women I learned that women astronomers were not allowed to look through the world's largest telescopes until the 1960's. That seems so ridiculous to me.....what were they afraid those women might see???
In this image you get a glimpse of the background...a bluff...water lapping the shoreline...and a starry sky.
I made this little lapstrake boat from some narrow strips of basswood.
Penumbra Theater was a challenge for me...one of the more complex pieces I've made. I'm dreaming now of 12 or 15 little theaters all together as an exhibit in some wonderful gallery. Stay tuned....

It Must be the Wine (Pt 2)
We arrived at the Goblet shortly after gathering our things from Wineport. The streetlights were on, flickering brightly under the midnight sky. As I got to the front door, I took a glance at my left to see Chocobirb waking up from us walking. He gave me a sleepy look, and cried out after realizing I wasn't who I was.
"Shhh! It's me, Chocobirb," I said as I came over to comfort him. "It's Seung Ri..."
There was a bewildered stare in his eyes, but I could see that he was trying to understand. I might look different, but I could smell the same as male Seung Ri. He whimpered and rubbed his beak on my head.
"It's alright, don't worry about me, ok?"
Ivory shifted over, petting Chocobirb as well. "Shall we head inside and plan something out?"
There was a low echo when I proceeded to open the doors, as if no one else came by the Free Company home. I looked around to see everything still in its place. Right now, this place is perfect to hide out until we got back to normal. We walked up the stairs to the dining hall and spare bedrooms.
I threw the picnic basket on the counter. "What... just happened to us?"
Ivory took a seat on the stool nearby. "We were transformed... I, as a male Miqo'te, and you, a female, possibly by the Lalafell's witchcraft."
I stared at the basket of fruit nearby. "That's stupid. Why was I the only one who transformed into a female? Couldn't you as well?"
"Who knows?" He shrugged.
I grumbled. I hope this is all just a nightmare, a horrible, horrible...
Loud knocking was heard from downstairs. I immediately turned to look at Ivory, who gestured to open the door. My head shook no.
"What if it's my Free Company?" I whispered.
He only stared at me as the knocking grew even louder. I sighed and went downstairs, with him right behind me. There was a slight hesitation when I took the doorknob in my hand. Relax, just pretend to be a new member... I swung the door open and looked at the visitor.
"So, have you two decided on what to do next?"
"It's YOU!" I yelled at the familiar intruder.
The robed Lalafell stood there, with the large sack of clinking glass on her back, and a cane too gnarled up to be used by White Mages. A taunting smirk was resting on her dark-skinned face. I was about to punt her into the air, when Ivory stopped me by wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Both of you guys look really cute together that way," she said with a sneer.
"Why would you do such a thing though?" Ivory asked as I tried to struggle from his grasp.
"Unlike my other colleagues, who like to wreak havoc, I prefer to play with Eorzea. You know, do a bunch of random spells on unsuspecting adventurers, like you!" She said.
What did she mean? Why would she even do such a thing in the first place? And why hasn't anyone said anything about this yet? I stopped struggling, and Ivory released me. He gave me the look of we need answers, don't get angry. I gave him a sorry look and turned back to the Lalafell.
"Are you associated with the Ascians?" I inquired.
She rolled her eyes. "Supposedly, but I'm so far off the grid, that I'm just an immortal being floating in this realm."
"You better change us back, or else I'm going to kill you like what I did to-"
"Nabriales? Oh, we know. However, I don't think you'd like to sacrifice another one of the Scions to get rid of me. You wouldn't be able to return to your normal self."
"Aren't you a little messed up Ascian," I said between gritted teeth.
She shrugged and pulled her bag around. Opening it, she brought out a bottle that was similar to the one earlier. The Lalafell seemed to be looking at us with challenging eyes.
"This is what you're looking for, the cure. Play my little game, and I will reward you with this."
Then, she threw it up in the air. Ivory and I were about to catch it, when it suddenly vanished. When I faced the Lalafell, she had already disappeared. The only thing left was a small box. I hurriedly picked it up and opened it. A thin leather book and a feather pen.
I was clenching my teeth when the Ivory took it from my hands.
"A journal log. I wonder what for..."
"Well, I guess we have to do what she says, right?"
He looked at me. "Ye, but let's get some rest. I don't want you stressing out any more than you already are."
"Tsk, whatever you say," I said, pushing past him playfully and retreating to my bedroom inside. "You better hurry before I lock the door, or you'll be sleeping on the floor."
"Ouch, feistier than ever. I'm not sure what to make of it."
I was somehow moving in my sleep (not sure what caused it in my dream exactly, maybe it was getting a belly rub from Ivory), but I suddenly woke up when I felt myself almost rolling on top of someone. There was a bit of drool falling out of my mouth as I looked at the Sunseeker underneath me, his face buried in my breasts. Ivory was waking up as I continued to stare at him, not knowing exactly how to deal with a feminine body.
He gave me a concentrated look. "You're suffocating me, cupcake."
I smiled shyly. "My bad."
As I was about to get off the bed, he somehow was able to swing his legs over the side of the bed, and grabbed me around the waist. The yukata was swinging everywhere while I fell onto his lap. I looked at Ivory with a surprised, but loving gaze. He chuckled as he inhaled near the base of my neck.
"You just seem to be a really adorable kitty right now," he muttered.
I groveled. "It would be nice if I was back to normal. Right now, I don't want to deal with anything but the task right now."
His arms were tightening around my waist some more.
"Maybe, we can... you know, have a little fun this way... Get to know the pleasures of being a woman?"
I felt my cheeks blush. Before falling asleep last night, I was thinking about how it would feel like to be a woman. I remember when I was a kid, I had asked the elders about the other gender. They had answered that everyone is the same, and we're only different because that is how we create new generations of people. Yet, being a woman now, it's a little different. I feel slightly lighter, and my body is definitely a whole new thing to adjust to.
I sighed. "I can't. Not when I don't know what to do in this body."
Ivory shrugged. "Makes sense. But, whenever you feel like it, I'm right here." He winked.
My eyes rolled. "For the love of Menphina..."
After a moment of cuddling, I got up to look at the journal from yesterday. First page: nothing. Same with the next ones, until there was some writing in the middle of the book. I read it out loud:
C DH; 26, 17 - Ask the Elezen for the name of the monster that bleeds a certain green reagent...
I turned to the Sunseeker. "Ideas?"
Ivory smirked. "The initials possibly the place, and the numbers are coordinates, as for the rest, we just have to search for this nondescript Elezen."
We walked over to the map on the wall, and tried to map out where this 26, 17 was...
"Camp Dragonhead," he concluded.
I laughed. "Hah, there's a ton of Elezens there. We're not going to be able to find them unless we asked everyone."
He shrugged. "We'll have to see, then. Shall we?"

Metamask Security Advisory and Bug Bounty for Seed Phrase Concern
Maintaining a safe and user-friendly account manager for the Ethereum ecosystem is a very fun and rewarding experience, but as more and more people use our software to hold their funds, concerns around security issues become increasingly important to address, no matter how unlikely those concerns may appear.
MetaMask has received approximately 17 users reporting problems related to accounts and seed phrases. These users reported that they had been locked out of their MetaMask accounts, and when entering their recovery seed phrases they were given different Ethereum accounts from the accounts they had previously associated with that seed phrase.
These users have our sincerest concern, and we wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. We've done a good amount of internal exploration of potential causes to these reports, but these 17 cases remain mysterious.
What You Should Do
Although this issue affects a very small subset of the Metamask user base (about 1% of 1%), in the interest of exercising extreme caution and transparency, we advise all users to re-verify their seed phrases immediately. This step is necessary even if you have previously backed up your seed phrase before. Here's how.
Please let us know via email or our support portal if the seed phrase you see is different than the phrase you originally backed up.
What We Suspect
In the worst case scenario, this could mean that some users were shown an incorrect seed phrase to back up their current accounts, and should re-verify their seed phrases immediately. It could also be user error via a mis-written seed phrase, or some other confusion, but since we cannot verify the cause, we want to be as safe as possible by involving the community in this effort.
This does not mean that anyone's accounts have been compromised by any external malicious individuals. If this is a real bug, it probably either exists in our core MetaMask Controller, or our main Keyring Controller. The bug would need to initially show a user one seed phrase, and after their confirmation, generate a fresh vault, and use it to generate their accounts.
Although MetaMask data is stored locally on each device and is encrypted with the user's password, if your computer has a storage glitch, you will need to restore with your seed phrase, and if you have written the wrong seed phrase, you will lose all of your current accounts. That's why we are asking all of our users to take precautions and back up their seed phrases again. Even if you backed up your seed phrase originally.
Furthermore, we are issuing a pair of our very first bug bounties for anyone who can identify a related issue in MetaMask on GitCoin and on Bounties.network. We will be occasionally increasing these bounties, and are starting small out of caution for these new platforms.
If you are concerned about this issue but are not affected, you can contribute to these public bounties via bounties.network or Gitcoin. To be eligible for the bug bounties, a bounty-hunter must be able to reproduce behavior where a user is shown a different seed phrase than is used to generate their first accounts. This can be done through automated tests of our code or through manual reproduction steps.
Finally, we will be hosting an AMA on /r/ethereum on MetaMask's key storage and account generation code for interested bounty-hunters in two days, on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 starting at 11am PST. The AMA is available here.
In Conclusion
We thank the community for their cooperation, understanding, and help. We will keep the community abreast of developments as they emerge.

Beautiful, timeless, relaxed knitwear in sublime ScottisH cashmere.
Expertly DESIGNED AND made in Ireland, with love and care.
Laura Chambers Cashmere began when I started casually knitting for myself after I closed my boutique, Tulle, in 2008. I really missed wearing quality knitwear in fresh colours, which Tulle had become synonymous with. I ordered some yarn and started making pieces for myself on my knitting machine - last used when I was studying for my BA in fashion in NCAD in Dublin. This grew to knitting for family and friends.
In 2014 I decided to take it to the next level and started making products to sell. My focus is on beautiful, relaxed knitwear design in sublime Scottish cashmere in colours with incredible depth and vibrancy due to the amazing quality of the cashmere. The designs are classic in shape with a very casual and modern design aesthetic. Each garment is given a twist with unusual block colour combinations and small but individual details on cuffs or necklines. The knitwear is made in Ireland so it allows me to have very hands on and experimental design and manufacturing approach.

The OEM Systems ICBM (Integrated Custom Bass Management) System might be the first subwoofer system to make it easy for average listening rooms to get great bass in every seat. Although it's a new system, first demoed at CES 2016, the ICBM's genesis dates back to the 2002 Audio Engineering Society convention.
The 2002 AES saw a true revolution in sound--or, at least, what should have been a revolution in sound. Previously, audio experts had been setting up subwoofers using a variety of methods and configurations, with adopters of various practices all proclaiming the correctness of their methods. In a paper authored and presented by Harman International researcher Todd Welti, titled "Subwoofers: Optimal Number and Locations," we finally learned how to do subwoofers right. Welti's paper proved that using four subwoofers, either with one in the center of each wall or one in each corner, delivered the flattest bass response across a large listening area.
This technique nearly eliminated the big problem with using a single subwoofer: if you optimize the bass for one seat, the bass won't be as smooth in the other seats. Some seats might see near-complete dropouts at certain bass frequencies. That's not a problem if you're the only one listening; however, if you're listening with family and/or friends, using a single subwoofer can't deliver a good experience for everyone.
The downside is that the method outlined in Welti's paper requires four subwoofers, which take up a lot of space and can be complicated to hook up and calibrate. Thus, manufacturers haven't done much to capitalize on Harman's findings. Harman released an automatic four-surround processor called the BassQ, but soon discontinued it. That's why I was enthusiastic when I heard a demo of the ICBM at CES. It's an attempt by an audio company to make using four subwoofers practical.
The $2,700 ICBM system combines four SE-80SWf eight-inch in-ceiling/in-wall subwoofers, four ENC-816LP in-wall enclosures, and one P-500XB subwoofer amplifier. You can also get a package with the same amp and just two subs for $1,600, and you can buy the package without the enclosures ($1,700 for four subs, $1,100 for two), which might get you somewhat deeper bass response (depending on your wall/ceiling configuration) at the expense of more drywall vibration and more leakage of bass into adjacent rooms.
This system makes the four-subwoofer configuration more practical primarily because of the slimness of the subs. Each one is just four inches thick with the driver and grille installed, making it practical not only to mount them in-wall, but also to simply slide them under or behind couches and other furniture. A dealer who stopped by my house to hear the system told me that the design's stealth is especially important. "We have very few jobs where we could install four subwoofers out on the floor," he said.
The system has two unusual and important features. First is the SE-80SWf itself, which uses a slimmed-down eight-inch, four-ohm driver that OEM Systems engineer Oliver Lieder told me is custom-designed for this sub. "The only stock component in it is the spider," he told me. (The spider is the part--usually a pleated yellow fabric--that connects the voice coil to the frame.)
Second is the P-500Xb, a Class D amplifier designed specifically to drive multiple subwoofers. It's a stereo amp rated at 90 watts per channel into eight ohms, and up to 500 watts RMS (700 watts peak) when bridged for mono into four ohms. It includes several subwoofer-friendly features, including a defeatable crossover that can be set for any frequency between 40 and 160 Hz; a subsonic filter adjustable from 10 to 50 Hz; a boost filter centered at 30 Hz and adjustable from flat to +9 dB; and a power range control for the internal limiter that adjusts the limiter's attenuation from 0 to -9 dB. It also offers the usual phase and level controls.
What the system doesn't offer is the ability to adjust the volume and EQ of each sub separately, which is recommended in the Harman paper. It occurred to me that you could connect two subs in series to each amp channel so that you could at least adjust volume and EQ in pairs, but this would require adding a couple of subwoofer EQ/control boxes and wouldn't give you the maximum output from the amplifier. At any rate, making all the subs independently adjustable would have greatly increased the cost of the system.
The Hookup
Lieder stopped by to show me the features of the P-500Xb and help with the setup. Not wanting to cut holes in my walls, I simply laid each sub on the floor in a different corner of the room, which yielded performance similar to what I'd have gotten by mounting the subs in the walls. We ran long in-wall speaker cables from the subs to the P-500Xb. To get the most out of the amp, Lieder put it in bridged mono mode, connected the two pairs of subs in series, then connected the pairs in parallel, giving a combined impedance of four ohms and allowing the amp to deliver all of its maximum rated 500 watts.
For Lieder's visit, we set up a 2.1-channel system using a Classé Audio CP-800 preamp and CA-2300 amplifier driving Revel Performa3 F206 tower speakers, using Wireworld Eclipse 7 interconnects and Mini Eclipse 7 speaker cables. Later, I switched to a 5.1 system using a Denon AVR-2809Ci AV receiver, an AudioControl Savoy seven-channel amp, and Sunfire CRM satellite speakers. With the Revels, I set the crossover point in the CP-800 to 80 Hz. With the tiny Sunfires, I set the AVR-2809Ci's crossover to 100 Hz.
Lieder showed me how the controls on the P-500Xb work and set them himself, but I almost immediately had to reset everything so that I could run measurements on the system. When I set it back up, I settled on a +3dB boost at 30 Hz, a subsonic filter setting at 20 Hz (because I intended to play ultra-low-frequency test material very loud and didn't want to damage the drivers), and a power range of zero to bypass the limiter. (Considering the CEA-2010 output figures I measured from the system, I thought it unlikely that the drivers really need a limiter--not for my short-term testing, anyway.)
When hearing Lieder's setup and the setup I did myself after the measurements, I was thrilled to hear how effortlessly the ICBM system blended with the Revels (and later with the Sunfires) with next to no effort from either of us. I think this occurred for a few reasons. First, I've found that subs with smaller eight- or 10-inch drivers seem to blend more readily with the main speakers when an 80-Hz or 100-Hz crossover point is used. (That's assuming we're talking about a fairly conventional, low-mass driver, not the high-mass, ultra-beefed-up small drivers found in typical mini-subs.) Second, the more even frequency and phase response of the four subs reduces that sense of boominess that makes the sub sound different than the main speakers and helps your ear tell there are subwoofers in the system. Third, with a subwoofer in each corner, the bass becomes impossible to localize, even if you're using a relatively high crossover frequency.
I expected the ICBM system would be more of a home-theater-oriented product, but its benefits for music reproduction are, to me, more impressive and important. I loved the evenness with which it reproduced the upright bass on my favorite jazz recordings. Singer Cécile McLorin Salvant's irresistible version of "Wives and Lovers" is packed with precisely played rhythmic accents from bassist Paul Sikivie. While a typical single-subwoofer setup would likely have made some notes in his bassline boom, the ICBM's four subs kept all the notes smooth and precise, which is especially important in a performance like this where timing is everything. In my listening chair, which I placed in a position where the bass tends to sound smoother in my room, the response sounded close to perfect. It wasn't as good in my room's "sour spot"--a place about six feet behind and four feet to the left of my listening chair where visitors often like to sit but where the bass usually sounds grossly uneven. Still, even in that compromised position, the response was about as flat as I'd get from a carefully set-up single subwoofer in my listening chair.
I loved the way the ICBM system allowed the lowest frequencies of the upright bass on Holly Cole's version of "Goodtime Charlie's Got the Blues" to blend perfectly with the upper notes, so the result sounded like a miked acoustic bass rather than a bass with a piezoelectric pickup. All the bottom-octave power of the bass was there, but not hyped--just the way a real bass sounds when you're a few feet from it.
When I put on Deadmau5's "A City in Florida," which like most EDM relies largely on a single, throbbing deep bass note, I was shocked and thrilled to hear how the ICBM system energized the whole room, making it feel like I was in a club with speakers surrounding a dance floor. The bass and the room seemed to be one, and I didn't get any sense that I was hearing a subwoofer. The system showed no sign of strain on this tune, even though my system was playing loud enough that it would have drowned out the noise of a pretty large dance party.

We come to the end of the photographs that I have in my collection in regards to the Titler Cemetery located northwest of Marengo, Iowa. As you can see I do not have a completely documented cemetery. I do not live in the area and was visiting at the time back in 2003. I do hope that these photographs that I did take will be of help to others.
Plat Map for Titler
When I visited the "Iowa County Genealogical Society" they told me that the plat map for the cemetery was missing. I hope that my photographs might be found by someone who may know where this map is and will see that the information is forwarded to the Iowa County Genealogical Society which is now located in North English, Iowa. See my link for the society to the right under Favorite Links. Make sure you understand that it is Iowa County which is the county genealogical society vs. the state genealogical society which is called "Iowa Genealogical Society." It can get confusing.
Here again are the two publications that I used for this cemetery:
The Iowa County GenWeb site has placed the publication written by Pauline Lillie on the web at this link covering the burials in the Titler Cemetery near Marengo, Iowa:
Source: Iowa County Cemetery Stones & History 1844-1975, compiled by Pauline Lillie for the Iowa County Historical Society Bicentennial, 1976. Approximately 102 burials listed in her publication. I found this at the Iowa County Genealogical Society. Location of Titler: Marengo Township 81, Range 11, Section 13.
History: Ms. Lillie describes this cemetery as one of the earlist with first burials in 1851. Families may also be found in the Bishop (Denzler) Cemetery to the east and the Athey Cemetery to the west.
Ms. Lillie's publication mistakes Phebe Allgood for a Spracklin and doesn't have Elizabeth Spracklen listed at all.
There is another publication done by a Ms. Sanchez that my cousin found at the Iowa Genealogical Society (not to be confused with Iowa County Genealogical Society). Both are in the state society located in Des Moines, Iowa.
Source: Cemeteries Marengo, Iowa County, Iowa, Originally transcribed by Mrs. Kaye Sanchez and finished in 1968, Des Moines, Iowa, retyped by Marion A. Gunderson 2001.
Mrs. Sanchez writes that there are 21 unmarked graves and stones were piled against the trees, some broken. Approximately 83 burials listed in this publication.
There are discrepancies between the two publications and my suggestion is to consult both of these publications and then study my photos of the tombstones.
Surnames Not Photographed:
Surnames listed in the publications that did not get photographed are: Baugh, Baughman, Bolger, Cladwell, Carter, Cavender, Crouch, Garby, Grouch/Crouch, Hanson, McLaughlin, Tarney, Tracy, Troup, Webster and Wood.
Please realize that even the stones I did photograph are not necessarily complete and you need to refer to the two publications for as complete a picture of the Titler Cemetery as possible near Marengo, Iowa.

The Stones of Titler: Wanamagher & Young
The last stones for this cemetery are Wanamaugher/Wannamacher and Young.
Apparently the stone that is behind this square base is probably the stone that should be on the top of the square base. So I only captured the information of the base. The other stone that looks like a obelisk might have other Wannamaugher names listed on it. Unfortunately I did not capture it in a photo. There seems to be a difference in the spelling of the name between the two publications of Ms. Lille and Ms. Sanchez.
The last stone is of a J.W. Young:
|S. of the 12th Iowa Vol. d at Ft. Columbus 4 Jan 1865 age 45y5m3d
and G.A.R. Marker (foot stone S.C.W.
The last stone is of a J.W. Young:
|J.W. Young 1869-1949

Stones of Titler: Titler & Turner
When visiting Iowa in 2003, I studied the newspapers at the Blairstown Public Library to see if I could find an obituary notice in 1859 for Elizabeth Keller Spracklin (posted dated September 11, 2010). I have featured her stone in a past post. She died in February of 1859. I was unable to find one for my 2nd great grandmother; however, I did see obituary notices for other individuals and the name "Titler" stood out and I believe they were prominent in the area at that time. The newspaper of 1859 talked mostly about farming and the prospects for business. The Blairstown Library was in a metal industrial building on the edge of town because they were in the process of building a new library. The actual genealogical collection was in the basement of the bank because the person in charge was worried something would happen to it. I had to come back the next day to access the genealogical collection so I made an appointment with the very helpful and nice librarian for the next day to come back and visit. She was so kind she closed the library up while I tried to do research in less than ideal circumstances. I believe they have since moved into the new building on Locust street and things are much better. However, I would call to make an appointment to be safe.
Here is a link to their genealogical collection at the library with contact information:
This is their home page: http://www.blairstown.lib.ia.us/ Try this new link:
There is a history book for the town of Blairstown, Iowa "Blairstown History: 1862 to 1987." The book gives no reference to who published it. I picked up a copy at the library in 2003. There are other Blairstown's in other states and counties so make sure you focus on Iowa. It does have Family History on pages 77-116. It does not have an index.
The Stones with the surname Titler:
Unfortunately the last stone was not a complete photo but it does hint that it is George E. Many stones were up against trees and buried. I did not wish to disturb things since I did not live in the area. There is a difference between the two publications by Ms. Lillie and Ms. Sanchez so study both. The next stones are of the surname Turner:
There was no other information on the last stone and no dates but I do believe it is a new stone not listed by Ms. Lillie (1975) nor Ms. Sanchez (1968) in their publications that I found at the Iowa Genealogical Society. See my post for July 26, 2010 for the information on the publications of this cemetery.

Location: Seattle, WA Size: 150,000 sf / 5 floors
The global hospitality and cruise line company, Holland America Group, consolidated staff from three facilities into their new headquarters as sole office tenants of the new Third & Harrison speculative office building in Seattle, WA. SkB Architects designed the 150,000 sf facility to unify three separate brands, to encourage collaboration and to increase communication between previously siloed departments. The transition to an all open office work environment was supported by a robust variety of technology rich meeting and social gathering spaces. A five-story atrium and internal stair connect the floors. The dramatic atrium features port hole elements, a water feature and catwalks along the window wall. The work space emphasizes staff access to daylight and views to Puget Sound, where Holland America cruise ships often dock. The space is topped with a cafeteria and roof deck.

Wedding Trends: Garland /
Gaga for Garland
It was a few years back that we started to notice brides (and grooms) were exploring beyond round tables with a mix of tall and short centerpieces, and while there will always be a place for the more traditional approach, the advent of "feasting tables" has caused couples to ditch the linen, embrace the rustic, and experiment with a variety of different centerpieces.
Now a few years into the trend, there has been an evolution of the centerpiece to include a dramatic and eye catching design: the table garland. Now before your mind jumps immediately to the holiday season with pine trees, pine cones, and red and gold ribbon, that's not what we are talking about.
What is Garland
Garland can be created from most anything and tends to be a completely natural woven display of greens and floral. From lush ivy and seeded eucalyptus, to more ornate floral garlands, there is no limit to the what can be included.
How Garland is used
The reason the trend has been gaining popularity, is because garlands work best on long feasting tables, or a sweetheart table (a head table that consists of only the bride and groom). Think of a long 8 foot by 4 foot table. A typical setting (flatware, china, stemware) takes up 1 foot, so if you have two people sitting across from each other, there is still 2 feet in the center of the table to fill with decor. That's a lot of space! Garland is a great way to add lush and low textures that can spill over the table an help draw guest's eyes from the floor upwards to the table.
Garland Caveat
Depending on the amount of tables you have, and what the garland is going to consist of, it is easy for garland to get pricy quickly. But there is a great middle ground of incorporating garland on the head table, sweetheart table, or as one of two feasting table looks to save a bit on cost. Choosing greens over flowers will also help, but it may not be the look you are going for.
Go for Garland
Garlands work well with tables dressed with linen or raw and rustic tables, and can be designed to be any length. From traditional to contemporary, big budget or small, garland is an impressive way to create a trendy statement that enhances your reception setting, and leaves your guests with a lasting impression.

We love going to our friends Rob and Treena's house. We end up over there at some point on every major holiday and for Ohio State football game day. {It's that time of year. You'll hearing more and more abotut he Buckeyes from me.} Most of the time we end up doing a pot luck, but sometimes Treena make everything herself and we just snack on muchies all day.
Hanging out at their house reminds me of the way I always felt neighbors and communities should be. As the day goes on, people come and go, but always stay long enough for a good chat. Even though there's a football game on, we all sit down around the kitchen table and enjoy each other's company. When someone gets up to check the score of the game or check on an AWOL child, another person will fill their spot and the conversation continues. Everyone knows each other and we all help to look out for the smaller kids.
Last year, Treena made this yummy ground beef and tater tot dish. I had to get the recipe from her since Mike had THREE helpings. It's so way to make and my boys love it! Super easy to throw together and then you can sit back and have a glass of wine while everything cooks. Bonterra Sauvignon Blanc? Don't mind if I do!
Tater Tot Casserole
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 can whole kernel corn drained
- 1 bag frozen tater tots
- 1 to 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Cook ground beef until browned and there is no pink. Drain grease from the meat.
In a large bowl, combine soup, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup. Add ground beef and stir until meat is coated. Mix in corn until evenly combined.
Place beef mixture in a 13? x 9? casserole dish. Top beef with tater tots; try to get them in a single layer as best you can. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 24 to 26 minutes. Let casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
