This orange-on-orange combo of citrus and carrots is so HAPPY. Get the recipe here.
Red fruits rule in summer. This salad's made with cherries, strawberries, and raspberries.
4. Two-tone is classy, too.
This dramatic number is a mix of honeydew, black currants, and sheep's milk cheese.
5. Grill the fruit first.
Yo'll be amazed at what a little fire can do to make fruit sweeter and softer and more interesting. This recipe uses an eclectic mix of peaches, plums, pears, figs, and grapefruit.
6. Let some vegetables join the party.
Forget the botanical technicalities of what may or may not be a "fruit;" the point is, don't be afraid to mix in things that aren't sweet. Cucumber makes a super addition to honeydew and watermelon in this summer salad.
Watermelon gets along with almost everyone. Including radishes.
Watermelon Salad with Radish and Sage.
Avocado can also be pretty great.
7. You can take some extra time to compose a salad without going over the top.
Like a lovely enormous edible flower. Get the recipe here.
A grid is awesome if you're using firm, cube-friendly fruit like melon.
8. Add some grains or seeds for protein and texture.
Quinoa? In a fruit salad? WHY NOT.
9. Try sticking with just one type of fruit — for example, stone fruits.
Exercising some restraint in terms of genre helps bring out subtle, individual flavors of different fruits. Plums, pluots, and nectarines here.
For the record, cherries are allowed in the stone fruit club too.
Tropical fruits (mango, papaya, pineapple, banana) are always happy to hang out together.
And berries are happiest in the company of other berries.
They're delicate and easily squished by heavier, galumphing fruits like melons. Also possibly just very snooty. Get the recipe for this patriotic salad here.
10. For a party, serve individual salads in fancy glasses.
11. Or inside a hollowed-out citrus rind.
12. You can also let guests build their own.
Great for a party full of kids, picky eaters, or the artistically inclined.
Maybe from a pineapple palm tree buffet!?
13. Use cookie cutters to make fun fruit shapes.
Get the recipe for this proudly American salad here.
Pansies and nasturtium flowers are especially nice.
Fruit is thirsty stuff, and will soak up basically any kind of wine or liqueur you choose to pour over it. This melon and berry salad is made with sweet Muscat wine.
16. Imprison fruit salad in a popsicle.
So it can live forever. Until you eat it. Recipe here.
Don't make it look like a creepy baby.
Don't mix it with "pink fluff." Or anything called fluff.
Don't use it to decorate tiny palm trees.
Don't overload a dish so it's impossible to get any fruit out without dumping it all over the place.
Also, what if you just wanted the watermelon at the bottom? GOOD LUCK.
Don't scoop out an entire watermelon just to fill it with lame fruit that's not even mixed together or dressed.
Don't put way too much of it in a glass with some liquid and call it a cocktail.
That's not a cocktail. That's some fruit that got wet accidentally.
BBC News is reporting that William Schallert, a veteran TV and film actor with more than 350 credits to his name, has died. Schallert was 93.
Better known for his long, expressive face than by name, Schallert started his acting career in the Los Angeles theater scene. He then went on to gain national prominence in the early ’60s for roles in sitcoms like The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis and The Patty Duke Show, where he played kindly father Martin Lane. But while he’d occasionally settle into series roles—1977’s The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, 1986’s The New Gidget, 1991’s The Torkelsons—Schallert is probably best known for the single-episode TV appearances he made on an absolutely massive number of successful TV shows, across a nearly 70-year career.

Schallert also occasionally worked in film, including the Martin Short shrinking comedy Innerspace, Twilight Zone: The Movie, and In The Heat Of The Night. (Needless to say, he appeared in episodes of The Twilight Zone TV series and the Carroll O’Conner-starring In The Heat Of The Night TV adaptation, as well.) He also served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1979 and 1981, and was married for 66 years to actress Leah Waggner, from 1949, until her death in 2015.

Ohio officials have confirmed that the medical cannabis program there will not meet its deadline.
Officials confirm that Ohio’s medical marijuana program will not be fully operational and therefore not meet its September 8 deadline.
The Medical Marijuana Control Program met with a state advisory board and laid out the issues: cultivators, testing labs and recommending physicians are all in place but processors have yet to be selected.
The 104 applicants are still waiting for the state’s Department of Commerce to release the licenses, according to Mark Hamlin, senior policy advisor for the department.
“Our understanding of the industry and our expectation is that there will be opportunity for some of those processors to be up and running at the point when plant material is ready,” Hamlin said, per the Ohio Dispatch.
While much of the focus has been on delays in awarding licenses, to date only two cultivators have been given the green light to grow cannabis.
Those who have not received certificates of operation will now have to seek extensions before they can be inspected and approved.
Meanwhile, the patient registration portal has not yet come on line. The portal was supposed to be ready in July.
Erin Reed, senior legal counsel for the state pharmacy board, said the portal is ready to go live but will be turned on closer to when products are ready so that patients remain protected under the law.
So far, 185 doctors are certified to recommend medical marijuana, and more are being added each month. The doctors tend to cluster in population centers, though the distribution is starting to spread more across the state.
As delays and bureaucratic issues mount, advocates and MMJ patients wonder when the program will be up and running.
“My child has a medical condition for which he has been seen and approved by more than one physician…how much longer do we need to wait?” asks one parent in Cleveland.
The world’s biggest advertising firm is making yet another acquisition at the intersection of its two targeted growth areas – digital and emerging markets.
WPP’s Kantar Media is buying China’s big social media consumer research firm CIC.
“CIC will enrich our global digital expertise in capturing millions of online conversations and “making sense of the buzz” in order to provide interpretation that informs strategic decisions and leads to action,” says Kantar CEO Jean-Michel Portier, via announcement.
China now has 513 million people online, according to new government data just out, and many of them are flocking to social media services like the weibo microblog services operated by companies including Sina (NSDQ: SINA) and Tencent.
CIC mines those arenas to gather consumer opinion in areas including retail, health and brand perception.
CIC got revenue of 29.9 million RMD ($4.7 million) in 2011, WPP said, without disclosing the acquisition price.
Officials in Gettysburg, Pa., are hoping to borrow one of the nation's most historic documents — an original copy of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
The foundation that runs Gettysburg National Military Park's museum and visitor center wants to put the document on public display as part of its celebration of the 150th anniversary in November of Lincoln's famed speech. It's asking to borrow a copy held by the Library of Congress.
Pennsylvania Sen. Robert Casey wrote to the library Tuesday expressing his support of the plan.
But Gettysburg might have to look elsewhere. The Library of Congress does not lend its two copies of the speech because of their fragility and priceless nature.
Other copies are held by the White House, Cornell University in New York and Lincoln's presidential library.

DIGBY, NS – Digby Care 25 is at it again.
The women’s only Digby based donation club successfully raised $3,055 for the Juniper House location in Digby.
Juniper House is a non-profit organization serving Digby, Yarmouth and Shelburne counties, with a transition house based in Yarmouth. The Digby office provides education and outreach services, along with referrals and advocacy for women at risk.
The Digby office has two outreach workers who assist women and children in any way they can on a day-to-day basis but as well when dealing with violent or abusive situations.
“We walk alongside them and support them in difficult situations,” said Suzan White, an outreach worker at Juniper House in Digby.
The funds donated from Digby Care 25 will go towards education and outreach services in Digby.
Digby Care 25 has been operating for five years now and this is their second donation to Juniper House.
The house was selected as their second-ever donation in 2014. At that time, the small group raised $175 for the organization but now, the size of the group has increased and so have the donations.
The group is always looking for new members. They meet four times a year and each member is responsible for contributing $25 four times a year.
At their quarterly meetings they hear proposals from local charities to decide who gets a donation. All funds are kept in the community and every cent donated goes to the charity. Digby Care 25 does not keep any of it.
The next Digby Care 25 meeting is scheduled for Nov. 18 at 6:30 p.m. at the Digby Curling Club.
Anyone who is interested in becoming a member can go to the meeting or contact [email protected] for more information.
We’ve all heard tales of ghosts and ghouls and things which go bump in the night.
For many of us, the idea of the paranormal is something to be feared and results in leaving the light on at night.
But that’s not the case for Huntingdon-born Mark Egerton, who is spending his retirement exploring the world of the unknown.
Mark, 57, from Southhoe near St Neots, has been investigating the paranormal for more than 40 years. His explorations have taken him to some of the most haunted sites in the East of England and have enabled him to write his own book.
Edge, as he’s known to his friends, had his first experience back in 1977 when aged just 15, he encountered what he believed to be the ‘ghost’ of a monk.
“One day, I biked to my friend David’s house in a small village called Midloe and when I got there I parked my bike in the old washroom, which was at the time being used for storage.
When Mark told his friend, David revealed that his home did have a monastic history, as it had been owned by an abbey. David said that he and his family had had several strange experiences in the farmhouse.
Mark said: “When I went home that night and told my parents about what I’d seen they were very dismissive and told me to 'stop being so daft and forget about it'.
“If I’d have known the history of the farmhouse beforehand, I could have quite easily convinced myself it was just my mind playing tricks on me. However, I was just a young lad and the only thing I knew about the place was that it was a very old farmhouse.
“Luckily for me, my... aunt Marilyn and her husband Trevor Kenward did believe me."
Mark’s uncle Trevor was a part of the ‘Ghost Club’, a which bills itself as the oldest psychical research organisation in the world.
The club was started after fellows of Trinity College in Cambridge began discussing the paranormal in the mid-nineteenth century, and it still existed, though it is now based in London.
Legend has it the founders promised to meet up after death in a room at the college.
Mark credits his uncle and his own experience at David's farmhouse with his interest in the paranormal.
Since that spooky summer’s day in Midloe, Mark is yet to see another ‘full-bodied apparition’ but has encountered a number of other unexplained experiences.
Perhaps the most memorable are his dealings with Fred, a tubby country bumpkin who visits Mark’s childhood home and was a bit of a flirt with the ladies in his day.
Fred has a knack for making things disappear and turn up weeks later - what Mark calls "poltergeist activity".
“He likes to play tricks on people, just to remind people that he’s still about," Mark said. "When I was a child things would disappear for two to three weeks, only to then re-appear in the most obvious of places."
