A summer to savour
I'd be excited to be joining the expert team at Classic Boat as editor anytime you care to mention, but the summer of 2015 will be one for any lover of wooden yachts to remember.
Dorade, Stormy Weather, Mariquita, Eleonora, Sumurun, Velsheda – yachts that have gained almost mythical status over the years, and they're just a handful of the epic classic fleet coming to England's South Coast for a series of regattas in June, July and August that will – and it's not a phrase I'd use too often – go down in yachting history.
As I write, Dorade is a few hundred miles off the US East Coast, heading for Plymouth as fast as her 85-year-old hull and slightly younger crew can take her. She's taking part in the Transatlantic Race, hoping to beat her time when she won the same event in 1931. After that, she takes part in the Rolex Fastnet Race, in August, which she also won in 1931. Who wouldn't be rooting for her? Even the crew on the cutting-edge carbon race machines going up against her will surely be willing Dorade on. As we all know, Dorade doesn't need us to cross our fingers. She's done it before, taking overall victory in the Transpac in 2013. She's got some competition, not least from her sibling Stormy Weather in the Fastnet. Stormy Weather won the Fastnet herself back in 1935 and was competitive enough 60 years later, in 1995, to finish sixth. She's been turning heads and winning friends in Cowes since her arrival on the island last month.
In the transat so far we've seen the 140ft Herreshoff schooner Mariette make the early running. She's celebrating her centenary this year – she's 100 years older and 100ft longer than some of her modern competitors! Whatever the final placings in Plymouth, the restorations of these boats and the way they've shown their speed among the modern fleet is one of the all-time classic yachting stories.
When they arrive in the UK, they'll be visiting some of the West Country ports, then heading straight on to the Solent, where there are so many classic regattas taking place that even Cowes can hardly have known the like.
The Classic Boat picture desk is awash right now with photos of last weekend's JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race, where there were two classic classes.
Next up in the diary is Panerai British Classics Week, from 18-25 July, featuring the big guns from the Med and the US East Coast. These great yachts will be swapping tacks up towards the Needles against members of the British Classic Yacht Club fleet. It's a mouth-watering prospect.
Incredibly, at almost the same time, from 20-24 July, there'll be a separate fleet of classic boats racing in the equally unmissable Charles Stanley Cowes Classic Week, organised by the Royal London Yacht Club. This fleet, too, will feature some of the greats going head to head, including many Metre boats and old gaffers.
But don't put away your camera just yet. The following week, the Royal Yacht Squadron holds its Bicentenary Regatta. This historic event is what many of the big boats have come for. Earlier in the summer we saw no less than seven European royal families turn up to celebrate the club's 200 years. Remarkable stuff.
Sailors talk today about the 2001 America's Cup Jubilee in the terms I'll be expecting to hear them discuss this summer's events, around a yacht club bar somewhere in 2029. Truth be told, I'm a cruising sailor, more often found up a creek in the Walton Backwaters, but did you notice, even I'm pretty excited? If you can't catch the racing itself, just a visit to Cowes is worthwhile, where many of these historic boats are moored up. Just try to do a better job than I did of keeping your jaw off the floor when you see Mariquita.
Back in 2001, when my main aim in life was making my Laser go faster, I joined members of my dinghy club on a pleasure cruiser out of Ocean Village to watch the America's Cup Jubilee. Inexplicably, the skipper got stuck on the Bramble Bank for an hour, while the epic Round the Island start happened somewhere in the distance. Eventually we saw our fair share of the boats taking part that year, but looking back, what strikes me now is not what I saw, but what I've forgotten. I can remember every one of the classic yachts, but not one of the Volvo yachts or the other big race yachts of the time, which back then I was keen to get photos of. I'd ask where they are now, but the brutal truth is, I'm not really interested. They were flashes in the pan. I wonder how many race boats built in our era our grandchildren will be talking about in the year 3000, as we're talking about Stormy Weather and her like.

10+ Ways to Preserve Your Harvest Without Canning!
August 22, 2017 by Maat
On our farm, we preserve a lot of food without canning – and often, it's easier, faster, and better to leave the canning jars on the shelf.
How to preserve food without canning
Preserving Vegetables & Legumes
Salted vegetables
Preserving Meat
Salt pork
Cold Smoke
Using Fat to Store Meat
Dry Salting Meat
Preserving Dairy
Preserving Eggs
Particularly if you're not familiar with pressure canning, or if you're unsure about starting, you might be wondering how you can preserve meat, fruit, or dairy.
(You might have heard about some ways to can things like dairy – but we debunk those myths in this article).
In this article, I'm going to show you some ancient ways our ancestors used to preserve fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, and eggs – and you can use these same tactics in your own home!
Preserving fruit without canning includes the obvious choices of fermenting and drying, but had you thought of preserving fresh fruit in honey or sugar?
To preserve the flavor of apples, people would wrap the fruit in paper, straw, or cloth soaked with grease such as oil or fat. Apples were then stacked in a wooden crate and placed in cool area such as a root cellar.
A favorite of colonial Americans was cider molasses, which is boiled from fresh apple cider, and used to flavor desserts or breakfasts. You can learn to make it here.
The leftover peels from making cider were then fermented to make apple cider vinegar – nothing went to waste!
Like apples, berries were preserved by fermenting them into wine or vinegars. During winter, wine could keep for months – even years, and was safer to drink than water.
Berries were dried and used in desserts and main courses, either by reconstituting them in water or used as dried fruit, or eaten plain like we do nowadays.
Fruit could also be preserved in honey by dropping the fruit into a jar filled with honey. Since honey is naturally antiseptic, the fruit wouldn't rot, and would even impart their flavor on honey.
The fruit would then be pulled from the honey as needed and used in desserts or flavored mead would be made from the honey.
Vegetables traditionally have been preserved by fermenting, drying, keeping in a cool place by packing them with wet leaves or sand, or keeping them in the ground before hard frosts hit.
Onions were pulled from the ground when the stalks browned, and were ripened by laying them on their sides to dry. To store them, the green stalks were intact and braided to store onions easily-circulating air.
Cabbage was dried and often used in soups and stews, but the most traditional way to preserve cabbage was by fermenting it in crocks like this one. Nowadays, you can also use kits that make it easy like this one. To learn how to ferment veggies, click here.
Beans were dried on the bush or vines and then strung up to continue drying and to store them. Families then strung them in their homes where they would be in easy reach. The dried beans then were soaked overnight to soften before being cooked and eaten.
To preserve it, corn kernels were dried then soaked and added to stews and soups or ground into meal, but more interestingly, our ancestors also dried corn into hominy, which was then turned into grits.
To harvest hominy, after corn on the cob was eaten, the remaining kernels and bits were cut from the cob and dried. To make grits, the dried hominy was soaked in water until soft.
Fresh vegetables were also sometimes preserved in dry salt (as opposed to brine) in a crock, although this depended on your access to salt (during medieval times, only the very wealthy had access to a lot of salt).
Nowadays, we have easy access to salt, so you can preserve your veggies in a salt concentration between 20 to 25 percent of the weight of your harvest (so 20 to 25 pounds salt per 100 pounds of food).
While this definitely prevents microbial growth, it also makes your vegetables very salty – if you preserve your harvest this way, be sure to soak the food in water before eating and adjust your recipe to make up for the extra salt in your vegetables.
To save their taste buds and make salt (which could be very expensive) last longer, people would instead preserve food in brine. The traditional ratio of salt to water to make a brine is 1 cup of salt to 1 gallon of water.
But the strength of this ratio depends on which salt you use – kosher is not equal to table salt in this case, and our ancestors didn't have iodized salt to confuse the ratio.
It's better to go with a strict weight – 10 ounces of salt per gallon of water.
Salting pork and other meats is an old fashioned method that's not used today – and that's a shame, because it works well to preserve AND season meat.
Using sugar, salt, and spices, pork could be submerged in the mixture and kept in a cool area for months – keeping the family fed while other sources of nutrition were scarce.
Cold smoking meat is a way of curing and preserving that we still use today – we've smoked many a slab of beef on our farm, and it's delicious.
We've found that smoked meats take a lot longer to turn rancid or grow mold – but you need to COLD smoke (under 150 degrees, preferably around 100).
This is much easier achieved during the cool days of winter – which is why meat is traditionally harvested during fall and early winter.
Meat also should be first submerged in brine to help preserve it, help get moisture out of the cuts, and inhibit bacterial growth.
You can smoke meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, pretty much anything you can think of.
This process is called a confit, and has been used since ancient times to preserve fatty cuts of meat. When salted meat was cooked slowly in a large pot and at a low temperature for a long time, the meat would eventually give out the fat.
The meat/fat mixture was allowed to cool in a crock – the fat would rise to the top, creating a barrier between the meat and the outside world. Stored in a cool area, the food could be preserved for months during the winter.
Like vegetables, meat can be preserved simply by surrounding it in salt. Our ancestors would slice meat into strips, then stack them between layers of salt, like lasagna.
The crock or barrel was then kept in a cool area, and meat removed as the family needed it. The salt kept moisture, bacteria, and bugs away.
Dairy was (and is) most commonly preserved by fermenting into cheeses or yogurt. Yogurt would be consumed fairly quickly, while cheeses could be wrapped or preserved in wax, and kept in a cool area.
When making cheese, salt is added to the curds to reduce moisture and then the curds pressed. After waxing, cheese could be stored for years.
Soft cheeses such as feta could be stored and preserved in oil for months – as long as the cheese was submerged, bacterial growth is slowed down.
Eggs would be preserved by waterglassing or by putting fats or mineral oils on the eggshells. In this article, we show you how to preserve eggs!

You have certainly given us a lot to think about. Now, if we could only get ourselves to use some of these instructions!
I'm with Phyllis… WOW that's a lot to chew on! Thanks Maat 😉
Heretha Bell says
That is a lot of great info, as always you give us a lot to chew on i definitely want to try some of your ideas & move on to others I don't like to use the pressure cooker again thank you for all your ideas

Jim Allen says
Thank you for lots of great information. This really opened my eyes to the many ways to preserve food, not just the traditional canning or drying. I love the tip about preserving fruit using honey, sounds like a great dessert ingredient.

Food tasting anyone? Why yes please, anytime!
I was invited by a dear friend to try out the the new California Dreamin menu introduced as part of the Global food promotions by Movenpick Hotels & Resort Group in Karachi. The main concept is inspired by the evolving food culture of 70s era in California when a lot of Latin American and Asian cuisine was rising due to their simple yet delicious flavors. Latin American and Asian Food is actually one of my favorite food types other than of course desi Pakistani. I love their use of fresh produce and using basic ingredients to create masterpieces which taste wholesome and exciting.
The menu consists of a selection of dishes and I tried three, two mains and a dessert.
We were served complimentary cheese bread with some pesto, garlic in olives and garlic chilli butter. The bread was, well, like it should be. Fresh, basic and a great starter. Tip: Never fill your self with starters if you really want to relish your main course(s).
First dish from the Californian Dreamin Menu that I tasted were Crab Cakes - Freshly caught Stone Crabs with Asian Remoulade sauce. Now I was wondering about the "freshly caught" part but I do know we get fresh seafood easily considering we are a coastal city. The herbed crabs were really moist and I was glad they didn't over cook it because it would have turned into a chewy, dry mess. The batter can be slightly thinner but it was non greasy and I didnt mind it. Remoulade sauce is a great condiment for most seafood dishes, specially fried items. It has a tangy kick mixed with the creamy smoothness of the mayo. The crab cakes were seasoned well so I didn't even use a lot of sauce and enjoyed it as is.
Followed up with Rack of Lamb - Best quality meat coated with Panko breadcrumbs and fresh herbs, served on a bed of bush beans. This dish actually grew on me. When I took the first bite I had mixed feelings. The meat was so tender yet the seasoning was not quite there and felt flat. The herbalicious crumb coating , however, was crunchy and earthy so made up for the slightly bland meat. The meat was cooked so well I just have to give that a plus. It was juicy, chew-able and really fresh. I do suggest a little bit improvement on the seasoning but overall I did end up finishing it all! Costs Pkr.1,975 + tax.
The Lemon & Avocado Cheesecake that was served was almost a miss, maybe. Vegan cheese cake slice served with avocado and lemon puree and a crust of coconut biscuits. Let me break this dessert down first. The Avocado and lemon puree caught me by surprise. I was not expecting it to be good, and it was. The blend of flavors; tangy, creamy, sweet, was well balanced and delightful. It was not too sweet, just right. The crust made from coconut biscuits brought the entire dessert together, completing it with its crunchy, rough texture. The vegan cheese cake center? Its not for everyone. The sweet cheese flavors are intense, rich, sharp and are very familiar to bree. For me just a few bites were more than enough so if you do plan to order this cheesecake its an acquired taste and can easily be shared with another. Costs Pkr.855 + Tax.
The overall food experience was pleasant and I would definitely go back for the crab cakes. You can find more about their food and other updates from their website HERE.
I LOVE Spicy food and collecting (and consuming) hot sauces wherever I find something new and spicier. My cousin bought a really HOT sauce from Canada so I just had to do a video. I got some of the hottest sauces found in Pakistan (so far) and compared those with the one he bought for me! It was craaaazeeee! Watch full video below.

Trump's immigration executive orders: The demise of due process and discretion
The overriding message of executive orders and implementation memos is one of speedy enforcement, not due process
By Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia
March 10, 2017 6:00PM (UTC)

This article was originally published on The Conversation.
The U.S. immigration code, passed by Congress in 1952, rivals the tax code in its level of complexity.
In January, President Donald Trump signed three executive orders on immigration that have made matters more complicated for immigrants and the lawyers and advocates who fight on their behalf.
As an immigration lawyer and teacher, I have spent countless hours helping those in need and educating my community, which includes residents, educators, professors, international students and scholars, along with local government about the contents of the orders, and the guidelines released by the Department of Homeland Security in February and how they will be implemented.
Specifically, the two orders on deportations and enforcement, both signed on Jan. 25, reveal that the government is making three major changes.
First, the orders are making virtually every undocumented person a priority for deportation.
Second, they seek to maximize existing programs that allow deportation of individuals without basic due process. This includes the right to be heard by a judge, present evidence or challenge a charge of deportation.
And third, pursuant to its Feb. 20 memorandum, DHS has rescinded most documents that offered guidance on prosecutorial discretion.
Prosecutorial discretion in immigration law refers to the choice made by a government official or agency to enforce or not enforce the immigration law against a person. It has been the central focus of my research, and is a critical component in our immigration system. Officials must choose whom to prioritize for removal because they have limited resources. The government has also recognized other compelling reasons why a person might deserve to not be deported. For example, a person without papers who has lived in the United States for several years and has family ties, steady employment or community leadership may temporarily be protected from removal.
Do Trump's executive orders signal an end to this practice?
Everyone is a priority
DHS has rescinded the 2014 Johnson Priorities Memo, which provided a framework for determining who is a priority for immigration enforcement and articulated the factors that should be considered when making decisions about whether to deport someone.
For example, the memo instructed DHS to consider amount of time spent living in the United States and "compelling humanitarian factors such as poor health, age, pregnancy, a young child, or a seriously ill relative."
Now, the government is taking a hard-line approach to immigration enforcement, without explicit consideration for a person's circumstances. The orders list specific parts of the 1952 immigration statute that target those eligible for deportation for reasons related to crimes or misrepresentation. But enforcement officials will also now target deportable immigrants who:
have been convicted of any criminal offense;
have been charged with any criminal offense that has not been resolved;
have committed acts that constitute a chargeable criminal offense;
have engaged in fraud or willful misrepresentation in connection with any official matter before a governmental agency;
have abused any program related to receipt of public benefits;
are subject to a final order of removal but have not complied with their legal obligation to depart the United States; or
in the judgment of an immigration officer, otherwise pose a risk to public safety or national security.
DHS guidance does not stop with this priority list. It goes on to suggest that any person without documents might be a priority. It repeatedly states: "All of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States."
Arguably, an undocumented parent living in the United States for several years and taking care of children who have formal or permanent immigration status, or United States citizenship, could be targeted as a person "in violation of the immigration laws," whereas before this same person would have more clearly been eligible for prosecutorial discretion and not been labeled as a priority. Similarly, a student who overstays her visa and then jaywalks may be treated as an enforcement priority because jaywalking constitutes a chargeable offense.
The cumulative effect is fear that everyone is a priority.
Despite major changes to enforcement, the guidance from DHS suggests that individual prosecutorial discretion may be exercised on a case-by-case basis, and preserves three policies relating to enforcement.
One pertains to "sensitive locations" and instructs DHS to avoid enforcement in places like schools, places of worship and hospitals.
The second is a guideline on granting parole to certain arriving asylum seekers after a "credible fear" interview has been conducted. When an asylum seeker is "paroled," she is released from detention and able to pursue her asylum claim outside of custody.
The final memo that is still intact is the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DACA enables qualifying noncitizens who entered the United States at a young age, often referred to as "Dreamers," to apply for protection from deportation and work authorization.
While I see the preservation of these guidelines as positive, the overriding message of the executive orders and implementation memos is one of speedy enforcement without discretion or due process.

Battles over politics, race, LGBTQ issues have made teaching harder, according to new survey
More in National News from ABC:

(NEW YORK) -- The so-called culture wars are deeply affecting schools across the country, according to a new UCLA report that surveyed principals from across the country.
The report, released Wednesday, showed a vast majority of principles reporting "substantial and growing political conflict" that's making it harder to combat misinformation and interfering with productive discussions in classrooms.
Over the last year, a conservative-led effort to target topics on race, oppression and the LGBTQ community have prompted state legislators and some school boards across the country to adopt policies that limit or restrict dialogue or curriculum on certain identities.
Principals in "Purple" districts, or politically divided communities, often faced more challenges than others, according to the survey.
The report found that these communities have been targeted by "small groups of vocal parents and community members" who are connected to conservative national organizations to "aggressively" challenge or threaten educators on such topics.
According to one principal in Minnesota who was quoted in the report: "My superintendent told me in no uncertain terms that I could not address issues of race and bias etc. with students or staff this year. He told me, 'This is not the time or the place to do this here. You have to remember you are in the heart of Trump country and you're just going to start a big mess if you start talking about that stuff.'"
Almost two-thirds or 64% of principals said parents and community members have challenged the information or media sources used by teachers in their school.
Nearly half of all principals – and 63% of principals in Purple communities – said parents or community members "sought to limit or challenge …teaching and learning about issues of race and racism."
Between 2018 and 2022, heightened community-based contention over teachers' use of media sources and information grew almost three-fold in Purple districts from 12% to 35%, the survey found.
In Purple communities, almost a quarter (23%) of principals reported their school board or district leaders took action on limiting teaching and learning about race and racism.
Nearly half of all principals reported efforts to challenge LGBTQ+ rights in the 2021–2022 school year. In Purple communities, principals were nearly twice as likely to say such attacks occurred multiple times than in Red or Blue communities.
According to the report, the communities in which principals reported high rates of hostility and disrespect towards LGBTQ+ youth were also the communities in which principals reported fewer efforts to address these concerns.
Principals say these new policies have not only deeply affected the actual content being delivered in the classroom but also the way students responded to one another.
Roughly 69% of principals said students made derogatory remarks to liberal or conservative classmates, a problem that was much more likely to occur repeatedly in Purple communities.
Principals at schools in Purple communities were also more likely than Red and Blue districts to report high levels of political conflict.
One Iowa principal said: "I had to come down and help the teacher, like a veteran teacher, who's never had problems having discussions. And the kids were just so stuck in their trenches, they weren't willing to be open to even listen to the other side."


Our residents are very special and have much to offer and share with the local community. We have a wonderful relationship with our local primary school and have built strong links within the community. We host many events and activities and provide a social hub for our neighbourhood.
We support many local organisations and have good links with national charities such as Age UK. If you would like to find out more or come along to our events, get in touch. We'd be delighted to welcome you to Gracewell of Salisbury.
Gracewell of Salisbury has excellent recommendations on this independent resource, the leading website for searching care homes in the UK.

André Walters loves seeing the looks on customers' faces when they take their first bite of a warm, custom-made treat at Duck Donuts. Equally sweet is fulfilling the company's mission to give back to the community. "Duck Donuts is named for Duck, North Carolina, the site of one of the company's first locations," says Walters, who is chairman of The A. Shawn Group that owns and operates the Buckhead shop. "Our goal has always been to support the communities where we're located."
True to that objective, Duck Donuts began giving back to Atlanta as soon as the doors opened in late 2017 by donating a portion of its sales to the Atlanta Mission, a nonprofit serving the homeless community, through the Quack Gives Back initiative. In December, the beneficiary was CURE Childhood Cancer. "The mission was a critical part of my decision to get into the business," he says.
Other company-wide endeavors include supporting Gabe's Chemo Duck Program. The play therapy tool utilizes a fuzzy stuffed duck dressed in hospital scrubs and bearing a chemo port that helps medical personnel explain to children and families what to expect from cancer treatment and provides comfort to sick kids.

Gay Games VI: Sydney 2002. The 2002 game took place in Sydney, New South Wales, from November 2 to 9, 2002. Sydney won the bid to host the games from other contenders which were Montreal, Toronto, Long Beach/Los Angeles and Dallas.


Each day in the Diocese of Buffalo, permanent deacons assist priests and participate in the liturgy in parishes throughout Western New York. Last month, Deacon Timothy Chriswell, who was appointed the head of the diaconate program in the diocese on Sept. 1, spoke about the role of deacons in the Catholic Church, as well as what differentiates the unique vocation of deacons from that of priesthood.
Deacon Chriswell, although a lifelong Christian, grew up in an Episcopalian family and then became Catholic later in life. Earlier on, his family grew up as "Christmas and Easter-type people," although it was meeting his now-wife, Mary, which inspired him to become more active in the faith. For their second date, he invited her to lunch on a Sunday, but she told him that she always went to Mass then.
"I said, 'Well, I'll go to Church with you,' and she's like, 'Sure.' So, my introduction to the Catholic Church was on my second date with my wife," he remembered. "I hadn't been to church very much prior to that, and so we started going to church together. We'd go to lunch, and then within about six months, we were engaged. Two years later, we were married, and she asked me if I wanted to become Catholic."
Initially, he was reluctant to become Catholic, but he recalled that he promised he would raise his children in the faith. After the couple had their first daughter and Mary was pregnant with their second child, he came to the realization that he did not want his children to do something he would not do himself.
This feeling led Deacon Chriswell to want to do more for the Catholic Church. He became a deacon in 2009 and was at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, now St. Martha Parish in Depew for his first five years. For the past three years, has served at Our Lady of Peace Parish in Clarence. He worked for 32 years as a customer service manager for a manufacturing company before he took on the job of director of deacons. At first, he served as a part-time director of formation and post-formation director of deacons for the diocese, but these two positions merged into a full-time one, which has beneficial for the program.
A deacon's role, according to Deacon Chriswell, is to assist priests in a parish. He is able to do baptisms and funerals outside of a Mass. He also visits the sick, distributes the Eucharist, assists the pastor at weddings and wakes, and visits the sick. Permanent deacons, unlike priests, are allowed to be married going into their formation, but they take a vow of celibacy in the event their wife dies after their ordination and cannot remarry. Transitional deacons remain deacons only until they are ordained to the priesthood.
"There are men who are single who become deacons as well. Some people will say, 'Well, why don't they become a priest?' Well, it's because they have a vocation working in the public sector and they like that job, but they want to serve the Church also, so they do that twofold ministry of having a full-time job and ministering to people," Deacon Chriswell said. "A very important part of the deacon's role is going out and doing what we call field ministry, and that is ministering to the sick and homebound."
This field ministry, which is not connected with the parish to which a deacon is assigned, may include service at a hospital or nursing home. They may visit or participate in Communion services without a priest. Deacons are also assigned to migrant communities. About 130 permanent deacons serve in the Diocese of Buffalo, with an additional 20 men going through formation at Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora. The permanent diaconate is a five-year formation program.
"You are encouraged, if you already have a college degree, to get your master's degree in pastoral ministry out at the seminary," explained Deacon Chriswell. "Some people don't have a college degree, so they can audit classes or get an advanced degree. They need the theology, because a lot of these men would be preaching, teaching and ministering to (the congregation), so they need that theological background, but being aware that not everybody is going to get a master's degree, and you don't need everybody to have one."
For four years of formation, the men come out to the seminary for one weekend a month for nine months out of the year. They spend the weekend working on homiletics, developing their spirituality and completing formation for a permanent state. "When you receive Holy Orders, this is not something you do on weekends, or take time off. This becomes your permanent state of life," Deacon Chriswell explained.
Although becoming a permanent deacon is a big decision, it was the right one for Deacon Chriswell, he noted. "Every day I wake up, and I realize what a blessing it is to serve the Church in this capacity," he said. "There are so many little, small things that happen in your life that you see when you keep your eyes open. It's a lesson that God is always working through you to help other people."
"If that's something you are encouraged to do, that you want to minister to other people, having God in your life on a regular basis, I fully encourage people to get involved. The biggest thing about the diaconate is that most of our men are married coming into it. The wife plays a very important role in the deacon's life. Without her consent, he cannot move forward and become a deacon. It changes your life, everything you do and how you approach life. It's a big difference, so the support from your wife is very important."

Hi everyone! It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new challenge from The Sisterhood of Crafters. This week Debbie is our host and she has challenged us to design a project showcasing Spring Flowers. Considering we just had a couple of inches of snow over the weekend, I'm more than ready for some warm weather and pretty flowers.
The I'm sharing with you is one I made in a recent class I took at the Taylored Expressions Studio. I learned how to blend using my Prismacolor colored pencils and Gamsol. I can tell you that I love this technique.. I'm sure you will be seeing it often in future projects. I found it to be a very easy technique and it is so easy to blend colors.
For all the challenge details and to share your project at The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge, just click the image below. We'd love to have you join us. You have until Sunday, April 8th at 7:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time to link up your project.
Beautiful card, I love your coloring and entire design is so pretty, great job with the pencils, too..so pretty!!
WOW SO pretty Marsha! Love how the vase matches the edging panel ... what a fabulous design idea! Great job! Happy Day!!
Lovely card, Marsha! I love your coloring on those flowers! I just bought some Gamsol and need to learn how to use it properly. Great card, sis!
Thanks, Debbie! I took a class at Taylored Expressions and this was my first experience with it. I really love the technique.
Beautiful! Love the beautifully colored images on kraft cardstock.

Copenhagen Business School (Danish: Handelshøjskolen i København) often abbreviated and referred to as CBS (also in Danish), is a public university situated in Copenhagen, Denmark and is considered one of the most prestigious business schools in Western Europe and the world.[1][2] CBS was established in 1917 by the Danish Society for the Advancement of Business Education and Research (FUHU); however, it was not until 1920 that accounting became the first full study programme at CBS. Today CBS has approximately 20,000 students and 2,000 employees,[3] and offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programmes within business, typically with an interdisciplinary and international focus. CBS is accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System), AMBA (Association of MBAs), as well as AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), thus making it one of the few schools worldwide to hold the "triple-crown" accreditation, and along with Aarhus BSS, the only two in Denmark.[2]
The CBS campus is located in Frederiksberg, close to the center of Copenhagen, and centers on the school's main campus of Solbjerg Plads, completed in 2000. Since the Danish Universities Act of 2003, CBS has had a Board of Directors with an external majority. The Board of Directors appoints the President of CBS, who is currently Nikolaj Malchow-Møller.[4] Most of the programs are taught in English, and more than half of the faculty is recruited from abroad, making CBS an international academic environment.
The university's alumni include Søren Skou, CEO of A.P Moller-Maersk, Lise Kingo, Executive Director of the United Nations Global Compact, Fritz Henrik Schur Junior, Chairman of DONG Energy, David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails, Kasper Rørsted, CEO of Adidas, Claus Meyer, culinary entrepreneur and founder of the New Nordic Cuisine philosophy, Hannibal Muammar Gaddafi, son of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Jacob Schram, Businessman, Lars Dalgaard, founder of SuccessFactors, as well as several other entrepreneurs and Danish politicians.

CBS Campus[edit]
CBS is an urban university primarily located in four modern buildings in Frederiksberg, close to the center of Copenhagen. The main complex, Solbjerg Plads, was opened in 2000 and includes 34,000 m2 of student and office space surrounded by gardens and outdoor living space.[34] Designed by Vilhelm Lauritzer Architects, the complex consists of interconnected concrete, glass and tile-sided buildings of varying heights that house student auditoriums, faculty office space, a cafeteria, the main library, a student bar and the campus bookstore.[35]
Dalgas Have, opened in 1989 and designed by Henning Larsen Architects, is the oldest building currently in use.[36] Owned by the Danish Pension Fund for Engineers and leased by CBS, the building includes 20,000 m2 of student classrooms, study space and offices distributed around a three-story 175 m long arcade.[36][37] At the midpoint of the arcade a two-story semi-circular cafeteria sits below a semi-circular library.[36]
Kilen (The Wedge) was opened in 2006 and includes 10,000 m2 of student classrooms, study spaces, and offices for research and administration.[38] Designed by Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects, the four-story wedge-shaped building features a large oval-shaped atrium that extends the height of the building.[39] The exterior is covered with full-story screens made of wood, matte glass or copper, which rotate in response to the Sun and weather.[39] Kilen has been the recipient of numerous architecture and design awards such as a RIBA European Award in 2006.[39]
Porcelænshaven, the fourth main building that comprises the CBS campus, is leased by CBS from the Danish Society for the Advancement of Business Education. Formerly the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Factory, the factory has been converted into 20,000 m2 of student classrooms, study spaces, offices, and a student residence.[40] A central feature of the building, a 1,000 m2 main hall used for large events, stands in the old location of the factory kiln hall.[40] As part of the factory conversion, Henning Larsen Architects transformed the old raw material storage building into 3,800 m2 of modern study space.[41]
CBS campus buildings reflect characteristic Scandinavian style and have been recognized by Frederiksberg Municipality earning an Award for Good and Beautiful Building in 2006 and 2009.[39][41] The four main buildings are within walking distance and located along three consecutive stations on the Copenhagen Metro from Lindevang Station (Dalgas Have) to Frederiksberg Station (Solbjerg Plads).

A little more than a year into my single life, I went out for coffee with a woman I'd known for some time. Prior to that I had politely turned down her offer for a coffee date at least twice. I needed some healing time after my separation and pending divorce. Despite some reluctance on my part, I agreed the third time she asked.
I felt confident that my experience with two marriages gone bad would prevent me from repeating past relationship mistakes, should coffee lead to something serious. So, the concept of looking for red flags in my dating relationships didn't occur to me. After all, this was only coffee. Or so I thought.
The dating red flags that should have sent me running had already started to appear and I wasn't seeing them.
The first warning flag was my hesitation to go out with her.
The first date for coffee turned into a second date for dinner. As the evening began, it was hard for me to get in a word of conversation, but I chalked that up to nerves on her part. As the evening wore on I remember thinking, "Man, this woman talks incessantly." I agreed to another date and thus ignored red flag number two.
Date number three was dinner at her home. By 10 p.m. I was tired and ready to leave. Yet her monologue continued and as midnight neared, I recall thinking, "Well, I really don't have much to say anyway. But it's nice to have company for dinner." She insisted I call her when I got home, even though I lived but a few minutes down the road and I was wide awake.
We began to date regularly. The monologues continued. There was a growing sense of neediness on her part with insistence on phone calls every time I got home. She worried constantly. Sometimes she called me before I got home. She also didn't hesitate to call me throughout the work day even at times I said I'd be busy.
In conversation, she radiated mild negativity, always expecting the worst was going to happen. (I'm the opposite.) She sometimes complained about others. She grumbled about some of the volunteer tasks she did but enjoyed the role of martyr and refused to get anyone else to step in. There were signs of hypochondria. Nevertheless, this turned into a long-term relationship.
How and why did I overlook so many relationship red flags, all in the first several weeks of dating? Here are three reasons why I ignored the warning signs and why you might be too.
The fact is, I was also getting something out of the relationship. It was nice to have a companion for dinner or to watch a movie. It was good to get out of the house and socialize. I liked having the option to do other things on weekends and especially the holidays.
I was energized, excited, nervous, and hopeful at the thought of going on a date. But I let these emotions cloud my judgement and distract me from the subtle things I might normally notice.
The underlying problem was that I never addressed why I attracted (and was attracted to) people who weren't good for me in both personal and professional relationships. It took some hard work with a therapist to get to that "aha" moment of clarity.
Today, I can clearly see and avoid those people who aren't good for me. It's also much easier to find those who are good for me. One major result of this process is I learned not to settle for less than what I want and need. I had settled too long, for too many things in previous relationships, to everyone's detriment.
It's only because of the work I did that I was able to find my ideal partner, Daisy.
If you have a pattern of relationship failures, or if you feel like you're always "settling," it's a sign you need to do some personal evaluation. There's no need to repeat bad relationships for life. The fact that you're reading this suggests that you're willing to make a change, and that's half the battle!
To stop the cycle, see a professional therapist. It's important to get an objective, independent viewpoint to guide you towards your own moment of clarity.
When I went on this coffee date, after a long absence from dating, I had done nothing to prepare. There are two things I could have done differently.
I told myself I could rely on my intuition. Unfortunately, it was talking to me all along but I wasn't listening. The first thing I would have done is to listen carefully to my intuition as if it were a trusted friend.
It's your sub-conscious mind at work whether you're awake or asleep. Intuition comes in the form of a hunch, a gut feeling, an inner voice, or insight that happens without the usual involvement of your conscious, rational mind.
The second thing I could have done differently was to prepare myself to re-enter the dating world. By getting to know myself better, and by outlining what I wanted and needed in my ideal partner, I would have created my personal red flags checklist for online dating.
I did such a written checklist years later when I re-entered the dating world once again. This time, the red flags were obvious. They prevented my emotions from running my dating life and helped me to quickly zero in on my ideal partner.
It's entirely possible to have a fantastic dating experience and think you've found "the one" when the opposite is true. Narcissists are experts at hiding their true, disordered personality. Yet discerning signs that you may be dating a narcissist can be very hard to detect.
That's why it's even more important to be in tune with your own feelings, with your needs in a partner, and with your dating plan. Listen to your intuition and check out this list of behaviors that indicate you might be involved with a narcissist.
Aside from narcissists, I believe mature daters over sixty face a bigger challenge in detecting warning signs than do younger daters. At this point in life, we've had a lifetime to develop skills at hiding our defects of character.
Narcissists and others with personality disorders are experts at camouflage, so it can be hard to detect. Others have developed sophisticated coping and survival skills that hide their less desirable characteristics. If we're not careful, we might not see them until we're heavy into a relationship.
Yet when you've taken time to prepare for your re-entry to dating, it's easy to spot those things you don't want or need. An article on eHarmony lists a few other warning flags that can alert you to future relationship problems.
Being rude or disrespectful to others. In time it will turn on you.
The appearance of one or two red flags doesn't necessarily mean the person is not a good fit. No one is perfect and we all get nervous on first dates. But it does tell you to take a closer look, to make sure you're comfortable with that defect and that it's not a deal-breaker.
The bottom line is that with self-evaluation, a dating plan, and a good ear for your intuition, you'll be on the road to finding your true love and ideal partner.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience-'Might Even Give A Piece To You'-Miami Pop Festival 1968
With the abundance of new music being released the last few months, my new copy of Hendrix Miami Pop Festival 1968 has been waiting patiently for a concentrated listening session. As has been previously discussed here in the rock room its a strange 'experience' when new Hendrix recordings are unleashed on the public. The question is always asked, 'How much more can there be?' I can confidently tell you dear reader that in the case of live recordings, Miami Pop Festival is a core addition to the Hendrix canon, as well as one of the best live performances to be unearthed from his vault. Found in the era prior to Electric Ladyland but following the groups first two LP's, the Experience is practiced and exhibiting incendiary concert experiences on a nightly basis. While this recording contains most of the usual Hendrix concert staples from the period, each performance is injected with unique melodic escapades, and exclusive band interactions that make the concert essential listening.
The concert is also notable for Hendrix being dosed with 'STP' prior to the performance making his approach to many of the songs, a bit more 'cosmic' to say the least. There were to be two performances each day at the festival (5-18/19-68) by the headlining Experience, unfortunately the second day being a washout because of torrential rainstorms.This disc features the second of the first days performances as well as two bonus tracks from the afternoon show. As noted in the liner notes, among Hendrix aficionados, these performances are considered some of the finest ever by the Experience. Listen for yourself.
As the disc and concert begins with the MC's introduction, Hendrix's guitar can be heard being plugged in and the sound that follows is startling in its tone and magnitude. While only a tuning up, this preview of the sound quality of the recording through the gear setup is that exciting!
The concert starts in earnest with 'Hey Joe', and its obvious the group is quaking with kinetic energy. A drippy feedback laden 'Indian' introduction sets the stage. Mitchell is an octopus on the kit and Hendrix's licks are shimmery and multifaceted. Under it all Redding rumbles warmly, laying the thick road in which Hendrix can travel at his wont. 'Hey Joe' thunders recklessly, its climactic bridge a thrashing and stirring statement and a bombastic opening to the set.
'Foxy Lady' follows, detonating through its well known stop and start changes. This one, similarly to the entire show, has supplementary mid verse riffing, additional curls and points on Jimi's guitar lines and contains Hendrix acknowledging the song through added musical details, making it definitive. This show does not take place in a vacuum so to speak, as the previous weeks Fillmore East performances hailing from May 10th feature concerts of the same power and grace. The 'rock room' will review these concerts at some point in the future rest assured dear reader.
'Tax Free' is the first monumental exploration of the concert. Reaching past eight minutes Hendrix heavy steps with metallic string bends early on before switching to his milky 'Crybaby' eliciting liquid psychedelia to seep from the onstage amps. The roller coaster chord changes are reigned in and by Redding and Mitchell and developed into a shifty transparent floor in which Hendrix slides across shoeless. Hendrix tugs on the melody line until it splits into multiple frayed ends, gently gathered by the assembled audience. At two minutes Hendrix Jimi pours a series of molten licks based on the theme, setting the stage for an explosive climax that tumbles into a Mitchell breakdown. Dynamically Hendrix shifts out of the interlude into a staggered blues, then through an intense and speedy jam before returning to the song proper and concluding with a mind bending sound scape.
After a lascivious romp through 'Fire', boiling over with sultry attitude, another expansive highlight occurs. An embryonic reading of 'Hear My Train A Coming' is introduced to the crowd. This performance is one of the earliest know recordings of the song, with the preceding Fillmore East version quite possibly being the earliest. Jimi does say that the band has only done this particular 'slow blues' only 'one time before', and its only 'just a jam'. Similarly to his influential blues heroes, Hendrix starts the song with some elastic country blues riffing and an off mic holler. 'Train' moves slowly, Hendrix exploring every cranny of its changes, the song is still early in its development, slightly tentative, but builds steam steadily. The first solo a deliberate rubbery exploration eliciting Albert Lee, eventually leading to some tight stinging statements. The second and third solos, are all quintessential Hendrix, distorted, soaring, and resplendent.
Hendrix thanks the crowd and explains that there's nothing left of their amplifiers but ashes, before Mitchell pounds out the totemic rhythm of 'I Don't Live Today'. The concert is peaking at this point in the show, probably in addition to Hendrix and the majority of the crowd. After the weightless drift through space where Hendrix states on the studio version 'Existence, nothing but existence' the Experience dash toward the precipice ahead joining hands and taking a leap of faith. Beautiful.
Quite possibly the best era for 'Red House' depending on who you ask. Hendrix straps on his Gibson Les Paul Custom for a twelve minute version of another 'slow blues'. Clean as summer sheets drying on the line, Hendrix skillfully plays a smooth and round introduction, each note a universe onto itself containing sustained barley audible sounds that disappear into the humid Florida air. Hendix's vocals the most expressive of the evening, entering into a duet with his other electronic voice, soul, soul, soul. In this version Jimi is on his way to see his 'fat baby'. The first solo is a concentrated attack, becoming over driven and gaining momentum. Hendrix menacingly draws the band into a percolating and swirling climax in which Mitchell and Redding are flying and Hendrix drapes his velvet guitar over restraining them to inches above the earth. A jazzy interlude develops with Jimi blocking chords while Mitchell scats across the skins. This fizzles into a low key, but melodic Redding bass solo that appears briefly then continues on through the songs changes with Hendrix returning for another round of soloing. This series of expression contains his entire sonic arsenal, wah wah, Octavia, over driven neck strikes and vibrato. The top does not come off here, as Hendrix keeps the emotion in constant flux, raising and deflating the tension, eventually slipping into the last verse. This 'Red House', similarly to all of them, contains its own attitude and emotion, this 'Red House' contains shades of blue, stays in control, and is slow and smooth. Wow.
The concert concludes with Hendrix's biggest hit and for a lot of the crowd the most wished for track of the evening 'Purple Haze'. This is a raucous punk version that teeters on its axis, threatening to go out of control. Not straying from the studio version too much per usual, this track is still as well played as the previous and a fitting conclusion to the concert.
The CD has two additional bonus tracks that come from the afternoon performance, featuring 'Fire' and 'Foxy Lady' from the afternoon show. These are again monstrous versions containing playing of the most impressive magnitude. The 'Fire' jumps like a child who has touched a hot stove and is probably 'better' than the one from the featured performance. The riffs Hendrix lays down prior to the second verse have to be heard to be believed!
The Miami Pop Festival performances in May of 1968 find the 'Jimi Hendrix Experience' reaching the perfect combination of time, crowd, weather, drugs, practice, ability and friendship to play a show of legendary status and a show that today can stand as one of their finest moments as a performing group. In my opinion these tracks can easily compete and sit with the famous and lauded Winterland 1968 performances to come in October. Every Hendrix fan needs this recording in their collection. Yes, dear reader there are more things in the Hendrix vault that are worth your money and time!

Simon & Garfunkel "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (1970)
Posted bytacopepper May 26, 2021 Posted inUncategorized
The 1970s kick off with one of the most successful duos of the 1960s, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Despite growing differences and conflict between the two that ultimately led to their dissolution as an act not long after this album was released, they recorded and released what I and most others consider to be their greatest album. Highly successful, the album "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was the #1 selling album of 1970, and is rated #172 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, which feels a bit low to me.
The album opens with the powerful title track, a soulful ballad written by Paul Simon, like most of their songs, but sung primarily by Art Garfunkel. Paul originally had to convince Art they had a hit on their hands, but it took some time for Art to come around. Paul continued to harbor some resentment even as the song hit big, concerned his contribution to the number was not fully appreciated. Despite the pettiness and hard feelings that ultimately soured their working relationship, they did create a beautiful song here. At the urging of their produced, Paul wrote a third verse that they sing together, and it adds significantly to the overall impact of the song. The album continues on with "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)", a beautiful Peruvian classical piece remade in their two-part harmony. It is a really lush and powerful piece also, and the strength of the album continues to shine with the more pop-sounding "Cecilia".
Side two opens with another home run Paul Simon song, "The Boxer". I will always vividly recall when Paul performed this song solo on Saturday Night Live, in their first show following 9/11, a somber and deeply emotional scene as he performed to a stage full of New York firefighters, police officers and other first responders. It was the perfect song of resilience for that moment, and has always stuck with me as such. There really isn't a weak song on this album, songs like "Keep the Customer Satisfied", "Baby Driver" and "The Only Living Boy in New York" all display the wide range and continued growth of Paul Simon as a songwriter.
As if to keep the mood light during the dark tension, the album also includes a live cover version of the Everly Brothers hit, "Bye Bye Love". The similarities in harmony between the two acts are obvious, and they surely had a lifetime career as an Everly Brothers tribute act if they didn't have such gifts with their own music.
As a fan, we can all get selfish and ask why acts like these couldn't work it out better, but in the end, like all, I'm grateful for the five albums of remarkable songs that have had a notable impact on my music life, and I certainly respect where both of them evolved to professionally after they disbanded. They will always be one of the most recognized and influential acts of the dynamic decade that was the 1960s.

Religion and the 2012 Republican Primaries: Maryland and Wisconsin
In the Maryland and Wisconsin primaries, Romney and Santorum ran neck and neck among white born-again/evangelical voters, while Romney was the clear favorite of non-evangelical voters. Romney was also victorious among Wisconsin voters who attend religious services only occasionally and those who attach little importance to having a candidate who shares their religious beliefs.

Religion and the 2012 Louisiana Republican Primary
Rick Santorum got his first clear victory among Catholics in Saturday's Louisiana primary in addition to winning among white evangelical Christians, people who attend worship services weekly and voters who say it is at least somewhat important to have a candidate who shares their religious beliefs.
Religion and the 2012 Illinois Republican Primary
Exit polling from the Illinois Republican primary shows that Romney continues to draw less support from white born-again/evangelical voters than from non-evangelicals, while Santorum has yet to secure an outright victory among Catholic voters in any state for which data are available.
Religion and the 2012 Republican Primaries: Alabama and Mississippi
Santorum won narrow victories in both the Alabama and Mississippi Republican primaries, but exit polling shows there was no clear winner among white born-again/evangelical voters in either state.
