Heavy Metal Contamination in Feed samples
Updated January 12, 2021
Heavy Metal Contamination in Feed samples
Contaminated animal feed and feed ingredients can originate from the environment or the production process. This may cause severe health hazards to livestock and humans.
The heavy metals Cadmium (Ca), Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As) and Aluminum (Al) should be monitored carefully according to guidelines for safe levels. Feed mills, Feed companies, and Farms should have program for a frequent sampling of the feed ingredients (mineral supplements and premixes) and complete feeds. When heavy metal levels exceed the permitted levels, this will result in a health risk for animals and for human consumption. Livestock that consume feeds with high levels of heavy metals, will accumulate it in their tissue. Contaminated animals could transfer metal toxins to animal feed chain, to the environment, to food of animal origin (liver, meat and milk) and to people working with these animals and products.
The environmental sources that contribute to heavy metal contamination are burning coal, gas and oil and incinerating waste materials. The higher heavy metal contamination particularly in Asia and other non- European countries.
Feeds that are identified with heavy metal contamination should not be fed to animals to avoid it passing to food products.
Our 1MEH package is designed for testing feed samples and food samples for heavy metal contamination. And we have the new 2MEH package that includes Mercury (Hg) to the 1MEH package.

At a time when the idea of gender equality seems to step back in the eyes of many people, women philosophers and women of action, it is time to highlight the great role of women who built the history of contemporary philosophy. Madame de Stael to Simone de Bauvoir through Flora Tristan (who is none other than Gauguin's sister), Louise Michel, Rosa Luxemburg, Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt, we give you an overview of main women philosophers:
Here is a list a great women philosophers:
– Simone de Beauvoir
– Hannah Arendt
– Simone Weil
– Mary Wollstonecraft
– Judith Butler
– Rosa Luxemburg
– Damaris Cudworth Masham
– Anne Louise Germaine de Staël (Madame de Staël)
– Nancy Fraser
– Luce Irigaray
– Thémistocléa
– Geneviève Rodis-Lewis
These women philosophers also give a lesson of wisdom to the philosophers who have often lacked humility and tolerance in the responses that were made to major world problems.

Waking up powerful and ready to take on the next day's challenge? Isn't that what we are all looking for ? Getting good sleep?
But can we make the moments that effect our overall health, even more exciting when going to bed and waking up? Yes we can!
Good sleep = good mood is not only caused' by a good mattress, there is much more how we can influence our mood. The environment overall is the key.
Find below 7 Ways to make your Beauty Sleep a better experience when waking up and going to bed.
- Mattress: Very obvious is the fact that a good mattress is the key for a good sleep. Not the only one, but a good reason to give more thoughts. It's important that money is saved on other expenses, but not on your mattress. We basically using the mattress approx. 6-8 hours daily. We may or may not feel the symptoms of a bad mattress right away, but it can cause' a lot of damage in the future to your body. One of the real good mattress that I experienced myself is called "ENDY". It's a canadian product and is made out of three layers of polyurethane foam that are CertiPur-US certified. They are amongst the highest and safest grades of foam available in North America.
- Lighting: How much light do you expose in your bedroom? Do you have side table lamps? What kind of bulbs are you using? Lighting plays a big role and can set our mood before we even know it. I'd recommend using warm light, that will bring coziness and at the same time brightness into your room. Your bedside table lamp shall be bright enough to support your ability to read a book or magazine, but it shouldn't bother your eyes at the same time. I'd recommend a lighting fixture that comes with a defuser. The Muuto Control Lamp and Muuto Cosy in white Lamp are a perfect example to set your mood the way you want it.
- Materials: A little less obvious to some of us is that the materials that are used in a bedroom, effecting us as well. Metal, Stone and Concrete feel more cold and less inviting compared to Wood and Fabric. For example if you have Concrete flooring, I'd recommend placing a rug in your bedroom. That will make the overall look cozy and looks comfortable and inviting.
- Decor: Sometimes we are forgetting placing decor into our bedroom, where we spend through much more time then we think. Its the little things such as plants, flowers, candles and books that can make a whole difference in appearance overall. Think of adding picture frames, that make your bedroom a bit more playful. Prints can be changed once in a while to keep it interesting. Also, adding personal pictures are a great way to make yourself surrounded by memories you love. That's an instant formula to feel comfortable.
- Color: Set the right tone for your bedroom. Picking warm and natural tone colours are very effective to feel comfortable and relaxed in your bed. This said, have you thought about picking a warm paint colour and paint your bedroom walls – maybe even just one? If you love bright and colourful, how about decorating it with bight coloured vases, candles or picture frames? Those can be always replaced once you may get over a certain colour.
- Bedding: Do your bed! Every morning! Being tidy and repeatedly doing your bed in the morning can be sometimes very draining, but studies have proofed that an organized bed will give us the energy and good will to feel overall organized and together in your life. A good way to start the morning, wouldn't it? Tip on the side, after washing and drying your bedding, put the bedding a quick minute into the dyer again before putting it on the bed – this way you can make sure that your bedding is wrinkle-free and looks even more fresh & clean.
Have a wonderful Weekend and a good beauty sleep 🙂
Xoxo, Sina

Smoking suppresses hunger, and a new study is the first to suggest ways to benefit from that connection. While testing a nicotine-related drug, scientists noticed that it caused mice to eat less and lose weight. The drug acts on a specific set of nicotine receptors in the brain; further experiments showed that these receptors activate brain pathways involved in weight control but not in reward or addiction. This indicates that it would be possible to make a drug that reduces appetite the way nicotine does but is not addictive, says Marina Picciotto, professor of psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine. This drug, or other nicotine-related medicines, could help nonsmokers lose weight as well as aid smokers in quitting without gaining weight, she says.

The course rating is 74.4 and carries a slope rating of 137. The golf course opened for play in 1989 and was immediately added to Golf Digest's list of Top 100 Courses. Tom Fazio himself rates our tenth hole as one of the top four greatest golf holes he has ever designed. Moreover, the course at Gateway is extremely well maintained; how well you score will depend on how you handle the fast greens and wind of this beautiful Tom Fazio design. Like many Florida courses, there is water on most holes; but as if that's not enough, you'll also find more than 100 bunkers. The front nine has a links-style feel to it, while the back nine winds clockwise through wooded areas. Concluding the day, Number 18 is considered by many to be one of the finest finishing holes in the country.

Back to School
Now that all the kiddies are back to school, I have been educating myself on the fine points of blogging…One thing is for sure–I hate being a beginner–and I am a remedial student when in comes to all things computer…
I have been working my way through the blogging primers and I am trying a few new things here at The Inbox Jaunt.
Take note…I have added Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. (I couldn't bring myself to add Twitter just yet…)
I am trying to make The Inbox Jaunt as user-friendly as possible, so please give all the new options a try. (But be patient if not everything is A+ work just yet–and please let me know...)
I know many of you are beginner quilters, and I reminded again, how much patience it takes to learn any new skill! I keep repeating to myself "Baby steps, baby steps…"
May your learning curve be swift,
2 responses to "Back to School"
Hi Lori, I know just how you feel! I hate being a beginner at longarm quilting. I want to be the best of the best NOW! You forget what this stage is like don't you, until something takes you back there again. Good luck. I'm sure we will all enjoy readying the results of all your work! Love suzy
As always, I love your photography, Robyn.

Dogfish Head 75 Minute
Dogfish Head 75 Minute American IPA. 7.5% ABV. This review if for the 2015 version, bottled on 10/7/15, opened on 11/22/15. From the DFH website: Blend two Dogfish Head favorites, add maple syrup and carbonate the mixture naturally. What do you get? 75 Minute IPA. I'm pretty sure just over a month is the freshest I've ever had this.
An absolutely beautiful looking beer. It pours with a lovely deep gold with some orange highlights. The maple syrup comes out strong in the aroma along with some mild tropical fruit notes. The hops in this beer are earthy and plentiful yet never too intense, they never become overbearing. I am rather enjoying a little orange and lemon zip from the hops as well. I feel like the addition of maple syrup brings out a nice sweetness in the malts. You would expect a blend of 60 and 90 Minute to taste like an IPA smack dab in-between 60 and 90, but I find that 75 Minute stands on its own and is rather unique.
This is only my second or third time having this, and I think I actually prefer it to the others. I would love to see this in year round six packs as opposed to the occasional 750 ml bottles. Ah… a beer nerd can dream?

Sears Website Offers Platform for Sale of 'Free Palestine' Shirts
The website of the U.S. retailer that has been better known for its sale of appliances, also has Israeli flags and Israeli flag magnets for sale
The website of the American retailer Sears, which for decades has been best known as a seller of appliances and tools, has waded, apparently unwittingly, into the Israel-Palestinian conflict by offering several apparel items emblazoned with the logo "Free Palestine."
- Renowned Israeli-Arab Rapper Gets Past Miri Regev and Heads for Netflix
- Portman Teaches Hebrew Slang. Here's What She Got Wrong
The Sears website provides a platform for sales from other suppliers and in this case of the "Free Palestine" apparel, it is being offered for sale by two sellers, the German-based retailer Spreadshirt and a company called City Shirts.
The Sears site also offers small Israeli flags and Israeli flag magnets for sale, in addition to a range of panoramic photographs of Jerusalem.
Some of the "Free Palestine" shirts offered via Sears include a call to "End Israel Occupation." One City Shirts T-shirt available for $17.95, is sold under the product title "City Shirts Free Palestine End of Occupation Adult Tank Top."
Similar wares, it should be noted, are for sale from a number of sources on Amazon, which also provides a platform for sellers plying pro-Israeli T-shirts. The Sears website's pro-Palestinian merchandise was first brought to the attention of the Jerusalem Post by a reader.
Reuters noted that Sears, which was once the largest retailer in the United States, "has been struggling to turn around its business for years amid intensifying competition from Walmart Stores and Amazon.com."

St Benedict
History of St Benedict
Benedict, a young middle class Italian, went to study in Rome at the end of the 5th century only to find the Empire in total disarray. Christianity was the official religion but the church was also in turmoil. Sound familiar?
Discovering there was no help in the capital, Benedict returned to the model of the desert fathers and set up home in a cave. As many have learned, an authentic search for God attracts others. Before long he needed to write a Rule for the strange assortment of lay people gathered around him. This has proved invaluable down the centuries and across denominations. Today there is even interest from the business community in using Benedict's wisdom to inform management principles.
Benedict guides his monks and nuns toward a balance of prayer, work, study, and leisure. Their vows have much to say to those outside the cloister, but beware – they are counter cultural:
- Stability: Benedictine monks and nuns vow to remain all their lives with one community. They give up the temptation to move on in search of an ideal situation. The notion that things would be better somewhere else is usually an illusion. There is no escape from oneself. This means learning the practices of love: acknowledging one's own offensive behaviour, giving up one's preferences, forgiving.
- Obedience: Benedict's take on obedience is the opposite of our understanding. He begins his Rule with the words: 'Listen with the ear of the heart'. It is firstly a call to listen to God, made explicit in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. The Abbot is to listen to all – even the youngest and least experienced. This fosters a loving interdependence on each other and God.
- Conversion or 'conversatio morum': This is difficult to define. Those in the cloister come to understand it as they live it, but struggle to explain. Alongside stability and obedience, it has to do with fidelity to a way of life in a community that is on the move with face turned to God daily through the gift of divine grace.
Lectio Divina
This is an ancient Benedictine custom about slow, contemplative praying of the scriptures. It starts as we listen deeply with 'the ears of our heart' and become atuned to the presence of God in that special part of His creation – the Bible. There are four stages:
- Lectio: slow reading of the scriptures, letting go of the mind into the heart.
- Meditatio: as we read, and re-read, we listen attentively to hear the word or phrase that God has for us today.
- Oratio: prayer as dialogue with God – a loving conversation with one who has invited us into His embrace. This is where we make our response to Him.
- Contemplatio: we practice silence, letting go of our own words whilst we rest and enjoy being in God's presence.
Ignatian prayer
St Ignatius of Loyola came to faith under the influence of Benedictine monks whilst recovering from severe canon shot injuries to his legs. Perhaps without St Benedict, there might not be Ignatius – with all the implications for the growth of Christianity. It is widely agreed that Benedictine monks saved Europe after the fall of Rome and afterwards cultivated a continent able to produce a man like Ignatius.
Ignatian prayer exercies have stood the test of five centuries and are used widely across the denominations today.

Forum Post: "The Crown family: investing in weapons, war ...and Obama
Posted 8 years ago on Feb. 23, 2014, 10:15 p.m. EST by flip

did ms Obama stay with the crown family this year when she and the girls skied in aspen - they di last year! "The Crown family: investing in weapons, war ...and Obama
By NicolasDavies - Posted on 01 May 2012 General Dynamics, Henry and Lester Crown
One family stands out as playing exactly that role in the political career of Barack Obama: the Crown family of Chicago. The importance of this relationship in Obama's career exposes some of the roots of his subservience to the government of Israel, his threats of aggression against Iran, his expansion of the JSOC/CIA targeted killing program, and his unswerving commitment to record military budgets in a time of economic and fiscal crisis.
The Crowns are the children and grandchildren of Henry Crown, who made a fortune in the building materials business, had reputed links to the Chicago Mafia, and discovered the armaments business as a military procurement officer during the Second World War. Henry Crown bought a controlling interest in General Dynamics in 1959 and developed it into the largest weapons maker in the world, building the Trident submarine, the Atlas rocket, the F-16 fighter, the Abrams tank and much of America's Cold War arsenal. The General Dynamics board forced him out as CEO in 1966, but he bought back a 20 percent share in the company and regained effective control in 1970.
Henry's son Lester succeeded him as chair of General Dynamics in 1986 and as president of Henry Crown & Co, the family's private investment firm. Lester is 86 now, but still takes a keen interest in politics. He is chair of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and founded the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University, which also received a $2.5 million grant directly from General Dynamics. He supports the arts in the U.S. and Israel—the Jewish Symphony Orchestra plays in Henry Crown Hall in Jerusalem. The Crown family is worth at least $4 billion, making it one of the richest families in America.
Under Lester Crown's watchful eye, his children now handle most of the family's business and political interests. His son James became President of Henry Crown & Co. in 2003 and sits on the board of General Dynamics. Altogether the Crown family gave at least $128,000 to Obama's 2004 Senate campaign, in which Henry Crown & Co. was also Obama's third largest institutional donor. In 2008, James Crown and his wife Paula were Obama's fundraising chairs in Illinois and his fourth largest "bundlers" nationwide, raising millions of dollars for his presidential campaign.

Looking for a Used Commander in your area?
CarGurus has 341 nationwide Commander listings starting at $2,900.
ReviewThe Good
The 2009 Jeep Commander's smooth transmission, poised suspension, and attractive styling have all resonated with consumers.The Bad
Poor rearward visibility, hard-to-read gauges, and uncomfortable rear seating have made many wary of Jeep's Commander when shopping for an SUV.
The CarGurus View
Jeep will stop producing its Commander after this year, so if you want one, get a 2009. Unless you plan to do a lot of towing or otherwise excessively aggressive driving, the V6 is the most composed engine of the bunch, although don't expect great gains in fuel efficiency over the V8s. Buy a Sport, and hand-pick your options.
At a Glance
A 43% drop in sales in 2008, the largest decline in a series since its introduction, means 2009 will be the Jeep Commander's last year of production. Jeep's stretched Cherokee has found a hard time fitting in, and rising gas prices are not helping.
The Commander is a full-size SUV, seating five or seven, depending on options, available in three trims with three engines, all mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Capable of towing up to 7,400 pounds, all trims and engines are available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. For 2009, the Commander gets a power upgrade for its largest engine, which increases to 357 hp, a 27-hp increase over 2008.
Each of the three trims has its own standard engine, with optional upgrades available for the Sport and Limited trims. Sports come standard with a 3.7-liter, 210-hp V6 that produces 235 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. Optional in the Sport and standard in the Limited is an E85-friendly 4.7-liter V8 with impressive power increases over the V6, with 305 hp and 334 lb-ft of torque showing up at 3,950 RPM. Finally, the top-tier Overland boasts a brutal 357 hp from a 5.7-liter Hemi V8. This engine is also available as an option on the Limited and produces 389 lb-ft of torque at 4,350 RPM. Additionally, it utilizes Chrysler's Multi Displacement System cylinder deactivation, which results in a rating of 13/17 mpg, on par with the other two engines, the 3.7 getting 14/19, and the 4.7 getting 13/18.
Given that poor showing, no one will be impressed with the Commander's fuel economy, cylinder deactivation aside, especially considering the same engines are available in the Cherokee with a quarter-ton less weight. Still, all three engines perform with compliance, with only the 3.7 struggling to pass in certain situations. Particular praise should be awarded to the five-speed automatic transmission mated to all three engines, which has been noted as responsive and smooth in all situations.
Available with all- or rear-wheel drive, the Commander even comes with a low gear specifically for off-road situations.
Ride & Handling
The Commander sports a suspension that might border on too comfortable for some consumers, which is impressive, considering it's still off-road capable. Continued improvements in structural integrity across the industry continue to blur the line between truck and car, and this is particularly evident here. The Commander's big drawback, as is often the case with Jeep products, is its overall design. The tall, boxy structure, while iconic, lends to excessive body roll and lean in turns, abysmal fuel efficiency, and a particular weakness to crosswinds.
Solid braking and pedal feel are complimented by sturdy, responsive steering and one of the quietest rides of any SUV available. It should be noted however, that engine noise from the two V8s intrudes into the cabin, especially during hard acceleration, and some have found this less than pleasant.
Cabin & Comfort
Long-distance driving is severely hampered by a trifecta of tribulations, namely an almost total lack of rearward visibility, uncomfortable seating, and gauge markings that leave older drivers straining. Other than those complaints, the controls of the Commander are well-placed and intuitive, and the styling has been well-received by both reviewers and consumers in years past.
Interior materials and design are attractive and suited to the individual trims, with the Sport looking tough but not spartan and the Limited and Overland's additional leather and trim accents providing the right amount of upscale quality to delineate them from their more rugged brother. There's plenty of space up front all around for entry, exit, and just plain sitting, but the rear is cramped when it comes to legroom. The third row should be left to children and other pets, but the theater-style seating is a novel feature.
Cargo room, both in the rear and the cabin, is quite plentiful, although hampered by the optional third row of seating. The Commander is tall, and that makes loading from the rear a chore, but not obstructively so.
Sports come standard with a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with radio controls, rear privacy glass, an eight-way powered driver's seat, power and heated mirrors, remote entry, satellite radio, and more.
Limiteds additionally enjoy dual climate control, a navigation system and rearview camera, a leather steering wheel and upholstery, heated first- and second-row seats, a memory system with power-adjustable pedals, a four-way power passenger seat, power sunroof and glass roof panels, an upgraded sound system, Bluetooth, and countless other amenities.
Overlands enjoy a wood and leather steering wheel and a powered liftgate in addition to the features on the Limited.
All Jeep Commanders come standard with dual front, side, and side curtain airbags, rollover deployment, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist, anti-skid and traction control, as well as a tire pressure monitoring system and a rear obstacle detection system. NHTSA crash test results scored five stars for both driver and passenger front impacts, but have not been released for side impacts in 2009. Rollover and rollover resistance both scored three stars.
What Owners Think
Smooth suspensions and transmissions are marred by uncomfortable seats, an almost total lack of rear visibility, and hard-to-read gauges. Still, the Commander is quiet, refined and dignified, with more than enough power to haul personnel, parcels, and playthings.
A CarGurus contributor since 2008, Michael started his career writing about cars with the SCCA - winning awards during his time as editor of Top End magazine. Since then, his journalistic travels have taken him from NY to Boston to CA, completing a cross-country tour on a restored vintage Suzuki. While his preference is for fine German automobiles - and the extra leg room they so often afford - his first automobile memories center around impromptu Mustang vs. Corvette races down the local highway, in the backseat of his father's latest acquisition.

7 Orthodox Groups Back Muslim Headscarf Suit
Seven national Orthodox Jewish groups filed a Supreme Court brief in favor of a Muslim woman's right to wear a head scarf at work.
The brief was filed by attorney Nathan Lewin of Lewin & Lewin, LLP of Washington D.C. for a case that is expected to be heard in February or March of next year.
Samantha Elauf sued after clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch to rejected her job application, saying her Muslim headscarf was in violation of the company dress code.
In the brief, Lewin recounted how his application to a New York City law firm was turned down because the firm didn't want to be inconvenienced by making accommodations for his religious observance.
The National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs, Agudas Harabbanim, Agudath Israel of America, National Council of Young Israel, Rabbinical Alliance of America, Rabbinical Council of America and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America joined the friend of the court brief.

Greenstein Chiropractic and Health Management is affiliated with the AvicennaTM Laser Therapy Centers of Excellence. As a class IV laser and able to deliver 7.5 Watts of maximum power, the Avicenna laser is one of the most powerful therapeutic lasers in the United States. It's the deepest penetrating therapeutic laser on the market, able to penetrate up to 20 cm. High power laser therapy is revolutionizing the non-surgical treatment of musculoskeletal pain.
A recent review of over 2500 articles in the medical literature indicated that many acute and chronic conditions may be improved or eliminated with therapeutic lasers. Some of these conditions include:
1. Nerve compression or damage to peripheral nerves, dorsal roots or the spinal cord resulting in pain, loss of sensitivity, motor loss of muscles and changes of the deep tendon reflexes. Some of these conditions include: neuropathy with any part of the upper or lower extremities; pinched nerve in the spine, upper or lower extremities; carpal tunnel syndrome; sciatica; and pain, numbness or a tingling sensation with any part of the upper or lower extremities.
2. Sclerotogenous pain of a deep somatic origin involving spinal discs, ligaments, joint capsules, periosteum, cartilage and tendons. Some of these conditions include: any acute or chronic injury, i.e. sprain, to the neck, upper back, mid-back or lower back; any acute or chronic injury, i.e. sprain, to the shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, hips, knees, ankles or toes; osteoarthritis; herniated discs; bursitis; and tendonitis.
3. Myofascial pain of muscles and/or their surrounding fascia causing trigger points, spasms, strains, post-surgical pain, scar tissue and adhesions. Some of these conditions include: fibromyalgia and poor posture.
4. Wound healing of burns, ulcers, diabetic complications, and slow or non-healing surgical wounds, and lacerations.
The cellular effects of laser therapy are very impressive and include:
1. Increased growth factor response within cells and tissues as a result of increased ATP (energy) and protein synthesis.
2. Accelerated cell reproduction and growth leading to faster repair of damaged tissues.
3. Increased metabolic activity-via increase in enzyme outputs, oxygen and nutrient availability.
This is the world's most advanced non-surgical, drug-free form of pain management available today. Patients typically begin to experience some pain relief within a few sessions.

Navi Pillay is a great South African jurist, who first came to international attention when she was elected as a judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. When Judge Kama passed away suddenly, she took over as President of the Tribunal. In 2003, Judge Pillay was elected to the International Criminal Court. Her six-year term concludes early next year. A few years ago, Judge Pillay gave an inspiring keynote address to our incoming group of LLM students in Galway. We hope to see her again soon, as the next High Commissioner.

Hello, sweet friends!
It's FALL Y'ALL!!!
In Texas that means 85 degree weather, but that's still 20 degrees less than the end of summer so I'll take it!
We have been spending so much more time outside and relishing in this amazing weather! I hope you have been able to do the same!
Today I am SO excited to bring you the first post in a series of tablescapes! This tablescape is fall themed, and I have teamed up with an amazing group of talented decor bloggers to bring you a blog hop packed with a beautiful variety we hope inspire you to create your own!
Be sure to check out the links at the end to see more gorgeous fall tablescapes from this sweet and talented bunch!
My inspiration for this setup was a beautiful, bright, crisp autumn day picnic.
I just pictured the different colors and natural items I would expect to find and of course no picnic is complete without a picnic blanket! And flannel plaid screams fall:
What I really love about the addition of this blanket are the beautiful blue stripes running throughout. Blue is so unexpected in fall decor and I think it brings a lovely pop of color, and it also helps to bring that feel of a clear blue sky to our indoor picnic!
I then added in some white pumpkins for that modern farmhouse look:
The centerpiece I kept simple and rustic with a beautiful wood slice and cotton stems in a glass cylinder with a burlap bow:
For the plate setting, I thought it would be fun to mix and match different plates to give a more relaxed picnic feel. The napkins are tied with a thin burlap ribbon to tie in both the centerpiece and burlap chargers used. Acorns and a bright green leaf liven up the setting and complete four of the six settings:
I always like to make the two ends of the table different! I decided to use some different colored plates and use a burlap pumpkin for an effortless, fun look:
The finishing touches are found in the details:
I spread acorns, faux autumn leaves and combs to add a natural feel:
At the last minute I decided to add a few tealights. This simple addition brings a little something special and reminds me of sun beams dancing around a picnic blanket with the smell of fresh cut apples in the air:
And that's it! Here are a few more shots of this fresh fall tablescape:
I hope you enjoyed this sweet little setup and I hope it inspires you to get out and have your own fall picnic with loved ones!
For more amazing fall tablescape inspiration visit the following talented blogs:
Thanks for visiting! If you decide to do a fall inspired tablescape, I would love to see! Please use #freshfalltablescapes on Instagram to share your creation with us!
I so look forward to bringing you the next tablescape in the series- Thanksgiving!!!
See you in my next post!

Hebrews 13:15-16 – "Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. 16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." NASB
Each year on Christmas Day it has been my heart's desire and practice to set aside some time to reflect on God's Gift to mankind and His goodness to me and my family during the year. I've had numerous ask me to participate in a specific time to pause all festivities and engage in a time of Thanksgiving and Praise to the Lord on this special day. All that is good and worthy of involvement and consideration, yet I have one more thing to suggest.
On this day, the Day after Christmas called 'Boxing Day' in many parts of the world and celebrated in various forms many include giving to the poor and needy. I would suggest that after you have opened all your presents, enjoyed the festivities with family and/or friends that you take a moment to evaluate your own blessings and determine to share something with those less fortunate. I hope that you have already done this prior to Christmas Day but if you have not then I would encourage you to consider an endeavor that the Bible makes clear is pleasing to God and something that He routinely blesses – – Giving to the Needy!
Maybe you received something that you simply do not need and rather than return or exchange it for something for yourself. I ask you to consider taking it or the refund for it and doing something for those who did not have the wherewithal to celebrate this day with gifts for their children or family. Maybe they need food, clothing, or shelter and your contribution regardless of how small would make a meaningful difference in their lives today. Maybe you simply do not know of anyone in that condition or situation, but I would suggest that your church does some of the local charities that are worthy and honorable do or maybe friends, family, or neighbors do. Ask and you just might be surprised how near to your physical local the needy are.
I am not trying to shame anyone into doing something. I am simply suggesting that we count our blessings and then consider the possibility of giving a blessing to someone who is not as fortunate or blessed as we today. I believe that it will prove to be an excellent catalyst into the coming year and propel you to even greater heights in your spiritual journey and may even be a significant factor in your financial development in the coming year.
Jesus said that we would have the poor with us always so we are not going to stamp out poverty and need but we can be aware of it and minister to it when it is revealed to us and within our ability to do so.
May God bless you and provide you with a joyous day and year!

Food For Thought Friday: Pepper Pizza
This 'pizza' uses the same toppings as any other pizza, but the crust is the peppers. You can tweak this recipe to suit your tastes. For example, for those who are total vegan can find vegan cheese to use instead of regular cheese.
Also, you can use any color peppers you want. I used all the sweeter ones (orange, yellow and red) as I find they have more flavor that the green and seem to truly enhance the sauce and toppings. Even my son loved this one and he is one fussy dude.
Have fun, and if you try this recipe out write your experience with it in the comments.
Happy Friday!
6 bell peppers
couple tablespoons of olive oil (set aside in a small glass)
Jar of pasta sauce (I make my own)
1/2 brick of mozzarella cheese (you can add other cheeses like Parmesan, feta, cheddar, etc.)
Your favorite pizza toppings
1. Core the peppers, removing the seeds, then cut them in half.
2. Place peppers on a greased cookie sheet or pizza pan, trying to get them as close together as possible.
3. Use a small cooking brush (the ones that look like mini paint brushes but for food), to coat the inside of each pepper. Add salt.
4. Carefully spoon sauce into each pepper, then add your toppings.
5. Pile that cheese on! It doesn't matter if it spills over into a neighbor pepper. That's why they are supposed to be close together. Make it seem more like 'real' pizza.
6. Put in a *350 oven for about 20 minutes. Remove to cool when the peppers are soft and all toppings are cooked through. (Watch them. It doesn't take long for them to cook.)
Bon appetit!

Lesson 1: The politicization of the landscape of Roma Capitale
Lesson 2: The iconography of the Italian Supreme Court
Lesson 3 (Friday): Visit to the Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione): meeting at Piazza dei Tribunali, 10:15 am
"Rome was not the world of religion, of abstract sciences, of literature, of fine arts, because in all those fields other people could defeat it; Rome was the world of law. For law, Romans had a historical vocation, deriving from their intellectual genius, from their moral virtue, from their character, from the force and the persistency of will". These words, pronounced by the Italian Minister of Justice Giuseppe Zanardelli during the foundation laying ceremony of the Palace of Justice (now seat of the Court of Cassation) in 1889, summarize his ideological program: to make the law one of the cornerstones of unified Italy (1861) with Rome, and especially its glorious and lay legal tradition, as its geographical as well as ideological center. During his long service as Minister of Justice Zanardelli demonstrated his faith in law as a tool for unifying territories and people realizing two great works: the first Italian Criminal Code and the Palace of Justice.
These lectures aim at describing the events that led to the definition of the very peculiar iconographical plan of the Italian Supreme Court building, meaningfully known to the people of Rome as er Palazzaccio: "the bad palace".
READING: (Forthcoming) S. Gialdroni, Justice petrified. The seat of the Italian Supreme Court between Law, Architecture and Iconography, in Sensing the Nation's Law: Historical Inquiries into the Aesthetics of Democratic Legitimacy, ed. by m. Antaki, A.

Just as Richard Branson had vowed to reporters, the management of Virgin Galactic has noted that a flawed operation caused the fatal crash of the SpaceShipTwo that killed a flight pilot and wounded another in the Majave Desert of California.
According to investigators from the National Transport Safety Board, the co-pilot unlocked a lever that caused the tail to lift up a little too early, causing the crash. Instead of being unlocked at Mach 1.4 to allow for a tail lifting that produces slow descent and create drag – called feathering, the lever had been unlocked at Mach 1.0; and a second lever that could have triggered the feathering process was never pulled, hence the crash, according to preliminary reports.
The body of the test pilot, Michael Alsbury, 39, was discovered close to the fuselage at the wreck, and Peter Siebold, the 43-year old surviving pilot that sustained shoulder injuries is responding to treatment. The fuel tanks, oxidizer tanks, and main engine were found intact at the scene of the crash, and the condition of the parts indicated that they were not breached and still good for use.
Although the company had spent $500 million in its plans to transport tourists to space for leisure, the Virgin Galactic management maintained its resolve to continue with building its second rocket for the mission. According to the CEO of Virgin Galactic, George Whitesides, "the second spaceship is very advanced in its construction. We need to work closely with the NTSB to work out as rapidly as we can what happened (to cause Friday's crash) and then to move forward. We're hopeful we can make rapid progress." The company actually hopes to complete its second rocket plane by the end of this year.
To further assure the public on its dedication to quality with its second rocket plane, Whitesides says "we have qualified the engine that we were putting into flight tests. I'm sure we will continue that work. As we've always said, we expect to continue to improve all our systems as times goes on just like any manufacturer would. We are dedicated to opening the space frontier, while keeping safety as our 'North Star'. This has guided every decision we have made over the past decade, and any suggestion to the contrary is categorically untrue…everything we do is to pursue the vision of accessible and democratized space – and to do it safely."

Stringband, jugband, fiddle-and-banjo and other old-timey styles of the East and South brought Dom Flemons to international attention with the Carolina Chocolate Drops.
As multi-instrumentalist and singer Flemons navigated the folk music scene in a post-Chocolate Drops world, his curiosity and creativity led him back to his native West.
Flemons, born and bred in Phoenix, Arizona, is putting the finishing touches on an album of black cowboy songs. The recording is done. He has finished the liner notes and looks to an early 2018 release date.
Expect to hear at least five numbers from that collection when Flemons plays Floyd Country Store on Thursday. They will be part of a set list including music from his previous records "Prospect Hill" and "What Got Over," he said. Upright bassist and fiddler Brian Farrow will round out the act.
"When we're playing live, we cover the whole spectrum," Flemons said in a phone call last week. "It's been one of the greatest things, to be able to have a repertoire so that I have a little bit of something for everybody."
It's a spectrum that includes such efforts as "Cindy Gal," a number he and the Chocolate Drops — Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson rounded out the original lineup — learned from Joe Thompson, the late North Carolina fiddler around whom the band had formed. Read more here.
