CAMP ZAMA, Japan – A genie, a gorilla, an astronaut, Jack Sparrow and even Freddy Krueger paid a visit to the home of Army Command Sgt. Maj. Eric C. Dostie, command sergeant major, U.S. Army Japan, for a Halloween celebration Oct. 23, 2015, in Camp Zama, Japan.
The Dostie family treated their costumed guests with a home cooked meal, specialty drinks and traditional Halloween treats. Dostie and his wife also organized games for the group that included stacking plastic cups and shaking ping pong balls out of tissue boxes. Even Dostie’s five-year old daughter participated in the friendly competition by awarding the best male and female costumes of the night.
“I hosted this party to help our senior NCO leadership to unwind after a few stressful weeks preparing for major missions and exercises” said Dostie who greeted his guests in pharaoh’s clothing, “These celebrations remind us that our command is a close-knit family that enjoys the little tricks and treats in life.”

41 Mt. Desert Street, Bar Harbor, Maine USA • Window in honor of Cadwalader Ogden: Made by Tiffany, 1891. Depicts The Last Supper; please note nine stars.
Maine’s largest collection of Tiffany stained-glass windows shines at St. Saviour’s Episcopal church, built in 1878 in Bar Harbor. A noted New York surgeon donated the first colorful installation – a three-panel depiction of the resurrected Christ placed above the original altar – in 1886. Since then, members of the congregation have added additional awe-inspiring Tiffany windows and others crafted as far away as England and France. The Victorian stone church offers tours during summer, but the building is open year-round. Next door, cemetery buffs can wander the old graveyard, where the maze of tombstones memorializes the town’s distinguished founders and their families. – from the Mt. Desert Island Net website.
☞ This structure, and the Rectory have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (#95000729), since 1995.
From the church’s website: It is claimed that St. Saviour’s has more Tiffany windows than anywhere else in Maine! There are ten beautiful examples of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s technique and artistry here at St. Saviour’s. We have a total of forty two stained glass windows in all.
St. Saviour’s also houses a number of more formal English stained glass windows as well as a variety of historic memorials. The windows span over a century, ranging in date from 1886 to 1992. …
St. Saviour’s Episcopal Church is the oldest, largest and tallest public building on Mt. Desert Island. The church is named for the French Jesuit Mission, "Saint Sauveur," which was established on the island in 1613. In 1871, land was purchased, upon which the first church was constructed. It was completed in 1878 and seated 325 people.
With a large year-round congregation and summer congregations often exceeding one thousand, more space was needed and in 1885 – 1886, the original building became the transept for the new church with a 16′ radius apse and an Italian marble altar.
In 1888, Mrs. William Vanderbilt had a church hall built for the Sunday School program, and in 1900 the present chancel and sanctuary were added. …
☞ St. Saviour’s Parish is an Episcopal Church committed to reverent public worship, an understanding of the Christian Faith, the spiritual renewal of our lives and the expression of our faith through community service.
"Saint Saviour" refers to Jesus Christ, our "Holy Saviour." Another way to say the same title is "Holy Redeemer" which is the name of the Roman Catholic Church across the street.
St. Saviour’s identifies itself as an “open church.” By this we mean that all persons, wherever they are in the spiritual journey, are welcome to come and be a part of this community. We seek to be a safe place for skeptics and agnostics as well as for believers. We are an inclusive church in which people from many backgrounds have found common ground. We are a diverse community which has discovered in God a oneness greater in significance than our differences. We have come to know that our variety, in truth, reflects the divine comprehensiveness of the God of all created things. People come to church for a variety of reasons. We assume that because you come, in some way – subtle or profound – the Spirit of God drew you here. The communion meal of Christ’s presence among us in the form of bread and wine is offered to anyone who comes with a sincere heart to receive it.

Dahl
Image by conall..
One of my new years resolutions this year was to put more recipes on Flickr. (that was actually a resolution for a few recent years but I didnt really do it as much as I intended) I used to put quite a few recipes on 5 to 10 years ago (and I still go back to them) but have def got less good at it.
the Dahl I made this evening was so good, I want to go back to the it and have instructions to replicate and am now glad I took a couple of pictures and took notes! I cant pretend it is authentic, but it works for me and is very easy to make with the stuff I keep in my cupboards. …and probably adaptable to the contents of other people’s cupboards
this makes about a ton – so plenty to freeze and get the repeated benefit of having made it.
ingredients:
450g Channa dahl (split chickpeas)
250g red lentils
4 decent size red onions
loads of garlic ( about 2 large garlic bulbs – i have such a home grown glut at the moment so I love using it for good stuff)
cooking oil
to taste:
Cumin seeds well ground in pestle and mortar
Mild chili powder (mine was home grown/made and I love using it)
Mustard powder
mild curry powder
black pepper
salt
turmeric (loads)
Rinse the lentils/channa well.
Cover in water plus 3cm
Bring to Boil and then simmer for 40 minutes (i do this in a cool oven in a cast iron cooker)
separately and in parallel, in a big frying pan, fry the onions well to proper browning point but stop there. then add the garlic and all the the spices and then just a minute or two later a splash of water to stop any serious garlic caramelisation and then cook more slowly for a while.
Combine the 2 pans – then leave in a cool oven (about 120 C) for a good hour (or two …or three if you have something to do).

Nags Head 2012 Memoirs 45 – View of our House
Image by Counselman Collection
Our son and daughter-in-law chose this location for this year’s spring trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, putting us right on the ocean front beach. It was a great location right beside Jeanette’s Pier, and the weather was so sunny. There were some windy days that made the waves all that much better. Besides our family from Ohio, we had friends visiting from several Congregations neighboring ours, plus a family that drove from mid-Texas and another from Indiana. As usual, we took turns making meals and it was a great experience with everyone fellowshipping and working together peacefully. Yes, I had one conference call with World Headquarters I did not want to miss, but it was still total relaxation. I tried to go a whole day without touching a camera, but then I got the shakes, and I just had to grab a camera and start snapping again; when you are hooked, you are hooked.

New York City, NY- Service members from the New York Guard and New York National Guard reported to the Javits Convention Center in New York City at 0630 in the morning on November 25, 2019. The service members unboxed pallets of turkeys and other foods, packed them into 3100 bags, and then loaded the bags onto 18 NYS Department of Transportation vehicles which were then used to distribute the Turkey bags across the NYC/Long Island and Westchester areas.
The New York Military Force members were participating in the annual program sponsored by New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s initiative to distribute the ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal to needy families. Joint Operation “Turkey Drop” included forty Service members of the New York Guard, State Volunteer Defense Force, and 10 soldiers from the New York National Guard Joint Task Force Empire Shield, assigned to Bravo Company, FT Hamilton, NY. The service members were thanked for their efforts by Brigadier General John Andonie, New York Army National Director, Chief of Staff, who observed the joint mission efforts.
