Todcast Happy Hour - Four More Years.
Posted by Good Clean Fun Life | Thursday, May 10, 2012
By Tony RussoThe Bayside GazetteFour years makes a much larger cultural difference than one might expect, as we found out during this week’s Todcast. Although I’m not much older than Todd DeHart, my co-host, and he’s not much older than Mark Huey, our semi-permanent audience member, we have a cultural disconnect that has to do with the fact that we all went to high school at different times. Before and after high school a four-year age difference is negligible but the difference between an...READ POST.

A Lucky Girl's Life: Feng Shui Tips for Hanging Mirrors
Posted by Shorebread | Wednesday, May 09, 2012
Depending on how you use mirrors, you can deflect negative energy or encourage a more positive energy flow in your home or office space.
There are three types of mirrors:
1.) A concave mirror attracts good energy. It is also helpful to make the entry to your home more welcoming.
2.) A convex mirror diffuses negative energy by sending it away. Suppose you have a large tree or some other obstruction outside of your front door creating a blockage of energy coming in. You...READ POST.

Summer Camps on the Shore: Unforgettable Outdoor Adventures at the Marine Science Consortium
Posted by Shorebread | Tuesday, May 08, 2012
Forget those images of summer camps firmly emblazoned in our minds thanks to countless movies featuring kids run amuck at some nameless lake, while stereotypical counselors lose control, and those same kids write letters home begging to leave. Hollywood’s version is nothing compared to what the Eastern Shore has to offer for summer camps. All up and down the coast, children can enjoy everything from summer stock theatre to surf camps taught by real pros. A budding scientist in your...READ POST.
Shorebilly's Swill: The Childhood Joy of the See 'n Say
Posted by Shorebread | Tuesday, May 08, 2012
When I write these things, I seldom if ever have a plan. It usually entails me filling a glass with ice and vodka late on a Sunday night after the kids have gone to bed, sitting down at my desk, and writing whatever pops into my head. I don’t do any research, take notes, or prep in any way. That would imply that I was a legitimate writer, and we all know that’s not true. I’m just a goof with a checkered past, a lot of old stories, and an overly inflated vocabulary which I use...READ POST.
Just Another Brick in the Wall: The Humphreys House
Posted by Shorebread | Monday, May 07, 2012
We are often asked if we have to adhere to any historical guidelines, a review commission for the Humphreys House. Fortunately we do not, even though the house is over a 100 years old and so close to historic downtown Berlin, we fall outside of any governing committee or regulations.
We do however take reverence and consideration of the wishes of the former owner as we fix things up. It is a renovation not a restoration, but still important to us to incorporate the old style and...READ POST.
