LOOKITSA:
Look, in the sky... it's a bird, no a plane, it's Superman... or maybe that was just a cloud shaped like Superman. This site is devoted to empowering your imagination with clouds. For children, clouds are magical and inspirational. Where a cloud might cause an adult to start imagining muddy footprints on the new living room carpet, a child might envision a dragon. This site is an invitation to daydream, and you don't even need to be near a window. It features dozens of photos of cloud formations, with new selections added each week. Click on a tiny cloud photo and it blows up to full screen proportions, complete with commentary by the person who submitted it. There's even a Grow Your Own Cloud kit, but we don't recommend it. There's just no substitute for the real thing!

NEWS and VIEWS

Major Solar Storm Detected
(AP) - Scientists have detected a major solar flare erupting on the sun that could buffet Earth with a geomagnetic storm in the next two days. The blast of charged solar particles already is producing scattered radio blackouts but is not expected to significantly disrupt telecommunications or electrical power. It might generate a dramatic light show for midnight stargazers in the northern latitudes until early Saturday.

Pamper Your Pregnant Skin:
The same pregnancy hormones that put your emotions in an uproar can wreak havoc on your skin. Your complexion may look great, with that much-touted "pregnancy glow," or it may become drier than usual and splotchy. A good moisturizer can work wonders on your expanding belly or anywhere your skin feels dry. And who knows? It may even diminish stretch marks. While experts say they don't work, moms who've come through pregnancy stretch-free swear by them.
NOTE: Always follow the advice of your Physician!

MOUNTAINGNOMES' FAMILY TREE NEWS

RECORDS FOR LOYALISTS:
During America's early years, people were referred to as loyalists if they were loyal to the King (or Queen) of England. Often the loyalists were members of the military, serving in the Americas. You can find records for these people on both sides of the ocean. Look for census, tax, land, and military records. To learn how to search military records in England, go to:http://www.rootsweb.com/~genclass/201/gen201.htm
Go to the England Genealogy Class. There's a lesson specifically on military records.

MOUNTAINGNOME's GRUB SHOPPE

RASPBERRY BAVARIAN PIE:
This pie is great for any occasion from a family picnic to a party. It isn't difficult to make and tastes like it came from an expensive bakery. You can add some whole raspberries when you fold in the whipped cream. Serves 12. "You don't wanna know the calories....just enjoy!"

Pastry:

• 1/3 cup butter
• 2-1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds

  Filling:
  

• 10 ounces frozen raspberries, partially thawed and drained
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whipping cream

Place all ingredients for filling, except cream, in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer until mixture thickens and expands in volume, 10 to 15 minutes. Whip cream; fold into raspberry mixture. Pile into pastry; freeze at least eight hours. Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour to an hour before serving.

So until next time, REMEMBER:  A diplomat is somebody who can tell you to go to hell and make you feel happy to be on you way.
