The cement was installed around in an effort to protect the tabby, and was the standard for the time, says Cassina member Janis Rodriguez. It has since been found, however, that Portland cement does not bond well with historic substrates like tabby. In fact, when the contractor hired to perform the restoration, Tidewater Construction, began removing the old stucco, it came off in sheets. That allowed water to seep into the tabby and compromise the integrity of the cabin walls and roof. The cabin is also testifying to past restoration and stabilization efforts. An upstairs window, for example, includes a supporting timber original to the structure which was built by plantation owner James Hamilton about the s.
The club is hoping to replace the modern windows with windows appropriate to the period, and has even found broken glass on site that — if dated by archeologists to the correct time period — may help guide the effort. Work on the Tea Cabin has stopped while the windows are being researched, which makes now the perfect time to visit the cabins and compare them sitting side-by-side, one with its tabby exposed and the other still coated in the Portland cement stucco. Both cabin exteriors need to be stripped of the Portland coating, allowed to dry and then recoated with a historic stucco recipe compatible with tabby, then whitewashed.
The windows and roofs need to be replaced, and then the insides of both cabins stripped of Portland cement and modern flooring. The electrical systems in both will also be upgraded. It will be much less intrusive and less expensive to do all the work at once, Janis says.

He gets annoyed with me about it all the time. Last year, the couple, who have known each other since they were 16 years old and attending Camden County High School together, had a baby, a fearless and feisty girl named Ella.
Since then, their lives have turned degrees, with their focus on the future much more in line with their habits in the now. The two started by making changes in their kitchen and at the local grocery store, requesting organic and local produce from their mainstream supplies. So, they took the issue into their own hands. April and Sam talked to a small group of local friends, asking if any of them would be open to participating in a co-op style of grocery buying, with food coming from only organic suppliers. When 10 or so people agreed, April got started.
She organized what is now known as the Southeast Georgia Co-Op, ordering or growing goods, and dividing it between co-op members. Basically, our goal, now and when we started, is to supply people with good, clean food, for good, low prices. Simple word of mouth, with a dose of social media, have both been powerful tools for the two. April and Sam now take orders via their Facebook page and through emails, with schedules of pick-up times and locations posted regularly online for those who order.
Contact me today; I welcome the opportunity to help you too. Down the road, the two — who are marrying in Woodbine this October — hope to open their own small storefront, selling only organic goods, from produce to flour. For now, the couple depends on their pluggedin store front as the central home base for their co-op. Several times a week, they post on their Facebook page www.

A writer, Carol finds it to be an inspirational spot.
That the length and the breadth and the sweep of the marshes of Glynn Will work me no fear like the fear they have wrought me of yore When length was fatigue, and when breadth was but bitterness sore, And when terror and shrinking and dreary unnamable pain Drew over me out of the merciless miles of the plain,-Oh, now, unafraid, I am fain to face The vast sweet visage of space. To the edge of the wood I am drawn, I am drawn, Where the gray beach glimmering runs, as a belt of the dawn, For a mete and a mark To the forest-dark: Affable live-oak, leaning low,-Thus--with your favor--soft, with a reverent hand, Not lightly touching your person, Lord of the land!
Bending your beauty aside, with a step I stand On the firm-packed sand, Free By a world of marsh that borders a world of sea. Sinuous southward and sinuous northward the shimmering band Of the sand-beach fastens the fringe of the marsh to the folds of the land. Inward and outward to northward and southward the beach-lines linger and curl As a silver-wrought garment that clings to and follows the firm sweet limbs of a girl.
Vanishing, swerving, evermore curving again into sight, Softly the sand-beach wavers away to a dim gray looping of light. And what if behind me to westward the wall of the woods stands high? The world lies east: A league and a league of marsh-grass, waist-high, broad in the blade, Green, and all of a height, and unflecked with a light or a shade, Stretch leisurely off, in a pleasant plain, To the terminal blue of the main.
Oh, what is abroad in the marsh and the terminal sea? Somehow my soul seems suddenly free From the weighing of fate and the sad discussion of sin, By the length and the breadth and the sweep of the marshes of Glynn. Ye marshes, how candid and simple and nothing-withholding and free Ye publish yourselves to the sky and offer yourselves to the sea!
Tolerant plains, that suffer the sea and the rains and the sun, Ye spread and span like the catholic man who hath mightily won God out of knowledge and good out of infinite pain And sight out of blindness and purity out of a stain. As the marsh-hen secretly builds on the watery sod, Behold I will build me a nest on the greatness of God: By so many roots as the marsh-grass sends in the sod I will heartily lay me a-hold on the greatness of God: Oh, like to the greatness of God is the greatness within The range of the marshes, the liberal marshes of Glynn.
And the sea lends large, as the marsh: Look how the grace of the sea doth go. About and about through the intricate channels that flow Here and there, Everywhere, Till his waters have flooded the uttermost creeks and the low-lying lanes, And the marsh is meshed with a million veins, That like as with rosy and silvery essences flow In the rose-and-silver evening glow.
Farewell, my lord Sun! How still the plains of the waters be! The tide is in his ecstasy. The tide is at his highest height: And it is night. And now from the Vast of the Lord will the waters of sleep Roll in on the souls of men, But who will reveal to our waking ken The forms that swim and the shapes that creep Under the waters of sleep? And I would I could know what swimmeth below when the tide comes in On the length and the breadth of the marvellous marshes of Glynn.
What about your spot? Could I write verse? Which ones do I use? Off the firm bench and out of the park! What held his gaze with each coming tide? His health failed to set him free.

The crop covered 1 million acres and yielded. A tiny white bird with big liquid brown eyes huddles on the beach, trying hard to not be noticed. An adult bird flies air cover for the newly fledged least tern, zigging and zagging around a beach walker who is, perhaps, enchanted by the acrobatics of this little bird and completely unaware that the baby is nearby.
It is the time of year when least terns are coaxing their babies from their beach nests. These babies are flying, but they need some time to get strong like their parents. Just 8 inches long, least terns are the smallest North American terns. When they appear on the beach, they are like fairies sailing over the sand. They have a delightful call that is similar to a squeaky toy. However, they also have a problem, and the problem is us. Like the migratory least tern, we love the sandy beaches in the summer, endangering the small depressions in the sand in which least terns lay their eggs.
They sit quietly on the eggs for about a month until the chicks hatch. Most beach nesting chicks are born precocial, which means their eyes are open. They have feathers and can walk. Least terns have, however, been distracted by the increasing presence of humans. Buildings with flat roofs in particular confuse the small birds.
When covered with light colored pebbles, those roofs look like beaches from the air, and many least terns set up housekeeping there. One popular nesting site is the Publix Super Market in Brunswick. A while back while dredging the St. Simons Sound, Steve Calver, an engineer for the U. Army Corps of Engineers, came up with an idea. He was going to build an isolated island made of dredged material where the embattled least tern could nest.
The first few years after the island was built lots of species used the island. It hosted one of the largest colonies of royal tern but no least terns. But this year, at last, the least terns have moved onto the is-. This is great news.

When I was younger, I did not relish the natural playground that the Good Lord has bestowed upon us here in the Golden Isles. I mean, think about it; we really have it all. Beaches, sunrises, sunsets, surfing, inshore fishing, offshore fishing, crabbing at the pier, hunting, historic parks and landmarks, oceanfront concerts by the Lighthouse, great weather, beautiful marshes, rivers and hammocks — just to mention a few.

We were fishing the Gulf Stream 92 miles east of the Golden Isles. We left the dock at 3 a. It took three hours to get there on their foot Luhrs Sportfisherman.
Simply stated, whoever gets the rod gets the fish. The morning started out quiet with the exception of a portion of the right squid teaser being stripped off by a fish, most likely a wahoo. The seas were extremely calm, even glass-like. I had forgotten how serene and calm the ocean can be. A handful of them escorted the boat. It was awesome to witness their grace and beauty as they swam in front of the boat. We could only get two baits in the water before they were struck again by one mahi mahi after another. The action went on for more than two hours. By the end of the day, we had an array of fish including dorado — aka mahi-mahi — blackfin tuna, little tunny, barracuda and amberjack.
It was a very long, exciting day and I look forward to my next trip out there on the open ocean. In honor of the dorado I caught on my trip, I would like to share with you my blackened mahi mahi recipe. I think you will enjoy it, especially if you are blessed enough to catch your own mahi mahi and have it for dinner that night.

About 20 to 25 minutes before mealtime, prepare orange beurre blanc by combining orange juice and wine in a saucepan and simmering on medium heat until reduced by half the volume.
Stir in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer and allow to reduce and thicken over low heat. Stir in parsley and set aside briefly in a warm place. Sear marinated filets flesh side first, leaving undisturbed for at least 2 to 3 minutes to allow the surface to begin to caramelize and prevent tearing of the fish. Flip over to sear the skin side. Allow to cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until flesh springs back when gently prodded.

He wired the house with electricity and did everything short of laying the brick.
My husband can remember clearing the land that would later become farm land when he was about six or seven years old. Just for the record, all that hard work only ever earned Josh was a tuna sandwich at lunch time. That was back when kids worked because they were expected to, not because they would be rewarded. I married into the family about 15 years ago and it was Nanny and Grandpa who gave me my introduction into farming. Grandpa, the kids and I would ride around to all of the pecan trees and pick up every single pecan that he saw.
The kids and I always gave up long before he did. When summer would come around the exact same scenario would play out with the blueberry bushes. As for the blueberries, though, the kids would eat just as many as they would drop into their converted plastic milk jugs. Grandpa was the one who taught me to make sure all of the eggs were pointy end down when we collected them from the chicken coop. Just as my husband worked this farm at a young age, my kids do the same today. Some kids are pickers, some are carriers and some are bucket movers. All of the kids know to put any leftover food in our hog bucket; at the end of the day, they take it over to feed the hogs.

As both investor and investee, you should be doubly focused on increasing the value of your business and being a good steward of your resources. Whether you plan to sell the business this year or hope to hand the reins to the next generation, there are five key factors to keep in mind when considering the value of your business: While it takes all five to paint a complete picture, risk is most often overlooked. Higher risk businesses tend to sell for a lower multiple of earnings because the buyer wants a higher return.
Simply defined, risk is uncertainty. How predictable are the future revenues, profits, and cash flows of the business? Potential buyers normally look at historical business performance to make these predictions; one of the best indicators of the future, after all, could be the past.

If you plotted the annual revenue and earnings over the past few years from your business and the results look more like an EKG than a nice, steady incline, the risk alarms should be sounding. So, what makes a risky business? A few things to consider when it comes to minimizing risk…. Can you take a one month trip to Europe this summer and know that your business will continue operating effectively? If you get hit by a bus tomorrow, does the business continue operating?
Personally, I prefer the trip to Europe, but the issue remains the same. Unfortunately, this importance can actually reduce the value of the business. For example, if customers will only talk with the key person, how will a new business owner feel confident that customers will be retained? One customer drives the train Being dependent upon a key customer can be lucrative but dangerous, especially if the demands from this customer are growing. If you are increasing payroll, facilities, or other infrastructure to support a key customer, ask yourself what happens if and when you lose this customer.
Specializing in a very narrow product or service line can help your business stand out in the marketplace. However, while this may provide a competitive advantage, it can be dangerous to become too dependent on just one source of demand. If this line dries up, what alternatives does the business have?
Perhaps some diversification through a complementary line can help reduce this risk. The prudent buyer will ask the right questions to identify latent risks like key-person dependence, customer concentration, or lack of diversification. Therefore, it is important to evaluate and reduce these sorts of risks before you are put in the hot seat.

People with dry eyes either do not produce enough tears or have a poor quality of tears. Dry eye is a common and often chronic problem, particularly in older adults. With each blink of the eyelids, tears are spread across the front surface of the eye, known as the cornea.
Tears provide lubrication, reduce the risk of eye infection, wash away foreign matter in the eye, and keep the surface of the eyes smooth and clear. The development of dry eyes can have many causes including: Dry eye is a part of the natural aging process. The majority of people over age 65 experience some symptoms of dry eyes. Women are more likely to develop dry eyes due to hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives, and menopause.
Certain medicines, including antihistamines, decongestants, blood pressure medications and antidepressants, can reduce the amount of tears produced in the eyes. Special dyes may be instilled in the eyes to better observe tear flow and to highlight any changes to the outer surface of the eye caused by insufficient tears. Using the information obtained from testing, your optometrist can determine if you have dry eyes and advise you on treatment options.
