– Burly right-handed fireballer Grant Holmes from Conway, S.C. kept
scouts busy today, impressing with his stuff on the mound at the
Perfect Game National Showcase at the Metrodome.

6-foot-2, 210-pound pitcher sat at 94-96 mph with his fastball the
first inning. In his second inning of work he sat at 92-94 mph with

and touched 85. His fastball velocity didn't change from the
stretch, either.
who traveled alone to Minneapolis to pitch, enjoyed his short stint
on the bump in the Minnesota Twins' former ballpark. "It's
nice," said Holmes. "It's much different than just a regular
old ballpark."
Holmes isn't used to throwing in Major League facilities, he is
used to pitching against an elevated level of competition. Holmes

"Everybody's good. Everybody plays together. (There's) a lot of
good players; a bunch of competition."

support a plethora of Canes players here to display their skills.

first pitch is 96 you can hear everybody start talking it feels good
to know that that's representing your organization and he's part
of it."

the second straight year the Perfect Game National Showcase is
available for everyone to watch online. The live stream to all of
the workouts, batting practice sessions and games can be found on
iHigh's dedicated Perfect Game page:
4 Workouts
taking batting practice toward the end of the Day 3 events, Vegas
Gold and White teams finished the drills portion of the PG National
by running the 60-yard dash and conducting their individual outfield,
infield and catching drills prior to the four games that were played
on Day 4. Detailed notes from the skills portions of the National
Showcase, as well as additional notes on the games, are available in
the scout
• After
the drills, the Vegas Gold and White teams took to the field for the
first of four games on the day. Taking the mound for both teams were
several intriguing arms, a recurring theme throughout this event.
Bennett Sousa was the first of these arms, showing easy arm strength
while producing 88-91 mph heat with more expected in the future. He
also threw a promising mid-70s breaking ball and did a nice job using
his stature to throw on a downward plane.
Holmes, as featured above, raised the bar after Sousa, working at
94-96, touching 97 and 93 from the stretch, with his heavy fastball,
and using that pitch to cruise through a very quick and easy first
inning of work. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound right-hander has a big,
burly frame that should allow him to sustain that velocity through
long innings at the next stage of his career.
• Two
big-bodied pitchers closed out the game for both teams. Right-hander
Brady Feigl, at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds, and left-handed Michael
Mediavilla, at 6-foot-4, 225-pounds, both have strong, workhorse
frames that makes it easy to believe they'll be throwing harder, more
consistently, from their current upper-80s sustained velocity.
• Scott
Hurst made a really nice play in center field, ranging back deep
toward the warning track to make an over the shoulder catch.
• With
so much of the focus on pitching over the past several days (and the
overall event), the second game of the day, Game 13 overall, offered
several hard-hit balls.
Hildebrandt stood out at the plate with a pair of doubles drilled
hard to the outfield, the first of which was smoke to the gap in
Kemp, as featured earlier today by Matt Rodriguez (link available
above), ripped a ball down the left field line for a double of his
own in this contest.
Lewis also hit a double, his down the right field line in the seventh
Bryant Jr. came feet short of the event's first home, driving a ball
high and deep to left field that was caught at the warning track.
• Jeren
Kendall continues to make an extremely strong impression at the PG
National, with his game highlighted by his game-changing speed.
After running a 6.49 60 during the Day 2 workouts (and also threw 93
from the outfield), he nearly made it to first base on a routine
grounder to the shortstop. The left-handed hitter has an incredibly
quick step out of the batter's box.
• The
Royal team offered a trio of high-power arms, starting with Jake
Jarvis, who started the game. With a shorter yet athletic frame,
Jarvis has a very live arm with late movement on his 87-89 fastball.
He also showed good command of a very sharp upper-70s breaking ball,
and changed speeds between the two pitches and hit his spots well.
Ryan Avidano's name on the list among the plentiful projectable
pitchers. At 6-foot-7, 215-pounds Avidano has broad shoulders and a
high waist, with the ability to get good sink on his mid-80s fastball
that should add velocity over the 2-3 years as he matures physically.
He also throws a promising low-70s curveball.
Hill entered the game for the Royal squad after Avidano, with a much
different overall profile as a 5-foot-11, 175-pound righty. He, like
Jarvis, creates good arm speed that generated 91 mph fastballs up in
the zone. Hill employed an aggressive approach going right after the
opposing batters.
• We
saw several promising Virginia recruits on Day 4 of the National
Showcase, including Sousa, Derek Casey and Sean Collins.
Game 14 starter for the Red squad offered yet another Cavaliers
commit, and the most promising of those that took the mound so far,
in Tommy Doyle. Doyle, a 6-foot-6, 210-pound right-hander is yet
another pitcher with an exciting combination of future projection and
current stuff and pitchability. His fastball sat at 89-91 early,
hitting the corners with his 91 fastball for strikeouts, while mixing
in a promising power breaking ball in the upper-70s.
• Michael
Kopech, currently ranked ninth in the high school class of class of
2014, started opposite Doyle and showcased one of the more exciting
power arms at the National. Built tall and strong with a still
projectable frame, Kopech threw his first pitch at 92, his next at
94, and worked in the 89-94 range during his two innings of work. He
also threw a sharp 74-76 mph breaking ball. In his first inning of
work he recorded a pair of strikeouts on 91 fastballs thrown at the
knees, and another on a 92 fastball up in the zone. Kopech added
three more punchouts in his second inning of work, one on a wild
pitch, as the only ball put in play against him was a weak grounder
to the shortstop.
• 2012
Perfect Game All-American Mayky Perez, who will be eligible to sign
as a free agent with the beginning of the July 2 International Free
Agent period, followed Kopech to the mound for the Vegas Gold squad.
Perez, who was the first player from the Dominican Republic selected
to play in the Classic, has shown significant improvement since the
last time we saw him at the WWBA World Championship last October.
With great size, Perez creates create leverage on his fastball, which
peaked at 92 mph and sat at 91 during his first inning of work,
striking out the side in that frame. His velocity sat in the
upper-80s during his second inning, and he continues to show
improvement with his upper-70s slider.
• Austin
DeCarr, the last pitcher to take the mound for the Vegas Gold squad,
also showed considerable promise. His first pitch recorded 91 on the
radar, peking at 92 and making quick work of the opposing batters.
He uses his tall, strong frame well, getting full extension on his
delivery as the ball explodes in on batter's hands. He also threw a
mid-70s curveball that look as though it could become a power
offering with more experience throwing it.
• Since
base-runners go at will at an event like this, it makes it even more
notable when a catcher guns them down. Ryan McCullers, younger
brother of 2011 National participant Lance McCullers, threw out a
would-be runner at second base in the second inning of this contest,
showing a really strong arm and quick release.
• Jared
Walker, who showed a short, powerful stroke in batting practice
during batting practice on Day 2, showed a nice approach at the plate
going with a pitch and driving it deep the other way to left field
for a double.
• Zach
Shannon also just missed a home run on Day 4, showing his incredible
power potential by taking a pitch the other way down the right field
line, hitting just inches from the top of the wall just feet away
from the 327-foot mark for a double.
next batter Bryce Carter, who participated in the Rawlings Home Run
Challenge the night before, didn't miss, hitting a bomb off the right
field baggy-less bleachers, thus ending the home run drought.
• In
the same inning, center fielder Steven Wells made a really nice play
snaring a ball before it hit the turf by racing straight in to make a
diving catch on a sinking line drive.
• Projectable
right-hander Jacob Nix took the mound to begin the fourth and final
game of the day, Game 15 overall with three more to be played on
Monday. Nix warmed up at 91-92 mph, and touched 93 during his first
inning of work, showing a live, quick arm. His low- to mid-70s
curveball looks to be a little new to him at this stage of his
career, but it's a pitch that appears to be heading in the right
direction once he becomes more comfortable with it.
• The
White team ran another impressive big-bodied right-hander after Nix
in Turner Larkins. Larkins is built country strong with a 6-foot-3,
215-pound frame, throwing on a pronounced downhill plane while
pounding the lower half of the strike zone with 88-91 mph heat. He
also threw a big overhand curve in the low- to mid-70s.
• Hunter
Alexander was yet another big righty for the White team, following
Larkins in the pitching order, and also similar to Larkins, Alexander sat in the 87-91 range with
his fastball.
• Josh Pennington was a pleasant surprise from the Steel team, a late addition who flew to Minneapolis from New Jersey earlier in the day to take part of the National. With a lean, wiry-strong frame, his arm strength is obvious, peaking at 92 and sitting 90-91 in his first inning of work. He also threw a potential power breaking ball at 77 mph that fooled a handful of batters, and also mixed in a low-80s changeup. He also made a really nice defensive play on the mound, quickly pouncing on a ball hit to his right while firing to second base, and not first, to gun down the lead runner.
• Michael Mediavilla, who pitched earlier in the day, smoked a double that short-hopped the wall in left field, showing his two-way talents.
• Similar
to McCullers as noted above, both Aaron Rzucidlo and Tommy Pincin showed off their arm
strength and releases by gunning down runners at second and third base respectively in the
last game of the day.

Corn fell sharply today after making new highs for the move in the overnight session. Beans were able to hold support. We are seeing a big unwinding of long corn/short bean spreads.
Today we came out with two new hedge recommendations for 2010 corn so be sure to check the updated hedge recommendations.
Weekly grain inspections came in above expectations for beans, and in-line with estimates for corn/wheat. This also helped beans hold support today.
Corn stats: 85% mature vs 65% for the 5-year average. 27% harvested vs 5-year average of 15%. Corn condition is at 66% good to excellent compared to 68% last week and 68% this time last year. The 10-year average good to excellent rating is 59%.
Soybean stats: 77% dropping leaves vs 72% for the 5-year average. 17% harvested vs 5-year average of 13%. Soybean condition is unchanged from last week at 63% good to excellent and compares to 66% this time last year. The 10-year average good to excellent rating is 55%.
Winter wheat is at 33% planted compared to the 5 year average of 38% this time of year.
I have included a crush chart below. The price falling illustrates that demand for the products isn't keeping pace with the soybean futures. This is probably a reflection of the huge inflows of investment money flowing into our markets. The old/new option strategies recently recommended will help catch upside potential for these types of rallies.
Quantitative easing, selling of the dollar, and buying of treasuries and commodities have really been the main driving factor behind this rally. It is just money chasing money at this point. It makes grains more volatile and at the same time less likely to be sustainable at these prices.
Open interest continues to climb, we still haven't hit record levels yet but we are close. This week we will be at the end of the month/end of the quarter. Many technical support levels still remain well below current prices so we recommend staying adequately hedged.

Bradley falls to third round; plans to sign with Tribe
Bobby Bradley might have heard his name called on Day 1 of the First-Year Player Draft, considering he publicly stated that only a first- or second-round selection would persuade him to forego college. But even with concerns over his signability, the Indians were willing to take a chance that Bradley would sign even after falling to Round 3.
That gamble seems to have paid off, as Bradley plans on signing with Cleveland.
"I don't think I'm going to see campus," he said on Friday.
"I had a round set in my mind. Top-two round money. And even though I got drafted in the third round, [the Indians] gave me top-two round money, so that kind of influenced me to go that way."
For Bradley, his choice of becoming a professional baseball player was an intensely personal one -- so much so that he waited until his mind was made up to inform his mother, Doloris.
"I didn't even talk to her about it before I made the decision. I called her afterwards and told her I was an Indian now," Bradley said.
The Indians used the 97th overall pick in the Draft on Bradley, a first baseman out of Harrison Central High School in Mississippi. He had been ranked as the 68th-best prospect in this year's class by MLB.com, thanks to a tantalizing combination of size, plus-contact and major power potential.
"He's a big, physical left-handed hitter," Indians director of amateur scouting Brad Grant said. "Has really done a lot to change his body, has gotten in really great shape. He's an elite power bat for a high-school kid."
Bradley has also spent time at catcher and third base with Harrison Central, and many questions remain as to where exactly he could fit in on the field at the professional level, considering his limited range as a defender.
However, there is little doubt that the true strengths of Bradley's game lie in his bat, which is where the Indians hope the growing young lefty can truly blossom at the professional level. He hit .442 with 23 home runs and 91 RBIs over 84 career high school games while also showing surprising patience at the plate for a high-schooler, walking 29 times in 22 games.
"The sky's the limit on that, because he can swing it with the best of them," Harrison Central head coach Pat Olmi said. "He gets his money's worth with his hacks."
Olmi was not surprised Bradley said he would sign. However, he was surprised that it was the Tribe that wound up drafting his first baseman, as opposed to another pair of Major League clubs.
"The Marlins and the Brewers had showed interest, too. I thought they were really interested. But I'm glad for him," Olmi said.
Bradley joins lefty Justus Sheffield (No. 31) and right-hander Grant Hockin (No. 61) as prep players taken by the Indians in the first three rounds. Sheffield will reportedly sign with the Indians after he was offered a $1.6 million signing bonus as part of his contract.
Bradley would be far from the first professional baseball player to graduate from Harrison Central, which produced Major Leaguers in Greg Hibbard and former Tribe outfielder Matt Lawton. Bradley's coach thinks he'll be able to tread the same path sooner rather than later.
"I think he could move up quick," Olmi said. "He loves the game, he studies it. I think you're going to be surprised how quick he moves up."
As for Bradley, he relishes the fact he got a call from any Major League team, let alone one that had scouted him as much as the Indians had. With his decision made, he can simply bask in the joy of Friday's accomplishment.
"I'd have been happy with any team, but knowing that the Indians showed a lot of interest made it even better," Bradley said.
The Draft concludes on Saturday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11-40 beginning on MLB.com at 1 p.m. ET.

MLK's hotel, Lane's queen, ABC's coffee
In last week's cover package, we misidentified the current incarnation of the Gallery Court hotel which housed Martin Luther King Jr. when he visited UVA in 1963. Fortunately, the hotel figures in this week's cover story. That structure is now dubbed the Budget Inn, and it's pictured (and correctly ID'd) on this week's tour of modern architecture on page 25.
Also, Scheryl Williams Glanton was the first African-American homecoming queen at Lane High School, not Charlottesville High.
An editing error in last week's "Dish" made it sound like coffee is leaving Albemarle Baking Company. Not so!

NORTHAMPTON, Mass.- Over the weekend, the Brandeis University volleyball squad competed at the 2013 Hall of Fame Invitational hosted by Smith College. The Judges dropped all three of their matches against Tufts, Trinity (Conn.), and the host Pioneers to fall to 9-20 on the season.
In their first match on Friday, Brandeis faced off against Tufts in a rematch from earlier in the year at the Brandeis Invitational. On that day in September, the Judges could not complete a comeback down two sets to one and lost in the five sets to the Jumbos. On Friday, Brandeis suffered the same fate falling in straight sets to the Jumbos, 25-17, 25-14, 25-17. Junior outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./ Albuquerque Acad.) led the squad with eight kills while senior outside hitter Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./ Troy) had six digs.
The Jumbos were led by sophomore outside hitter Esme Nulan (Kansas City, Mo./ Pembroke Hill School) with 10 kills while sophomore libero Carolina Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./ Pine Crest School) recorded a match-high 10 digs.
On Saturday, the Judges took on Trinity in their first match of the day. Despite a close second set, Brandeis could not keep up with the Bantams as they lost three sets to none (25-17, 25-23, 25-15). In this match, Hensley had an excellent performance with a double-double featuring 18 digs and 10 kills. Sophomore defensive specialist Amaris Brown (Brooklyn, N.Y./ Brooklyn Friends) joined Hensley in double-digit digs with 14.
Trinity was led by senior outside hitter Hannah Brickley (Melrose, Mass./ Melrose) with 13 kills while rookie setter Randi Whitham (South Weymouth, Mass./ Notre Dame Academy) had a team-high 11 digs to go with 14 assists.
In the Judges final match of the invitational, Brandeis matched up with the host Smith College Pioneers. The Pioneers jumped on the Judges early, taking the first set 25-15. In the second set, the Judges played much better but came up short, losing 26-24. However, in the third set, an excellent 31.0% attacking percentage featuring 17 kills to four errors led Brandeis to a 25-19 win to cut the deficit to two sets to one. Unfortunately, Smith rebounded to take the fourth set 25-16 and win the match three sets to one. The Judges were led by Hood who recorded a double-double with 17 kills and 18 digs. Brown and rookie outside hitter Rachael Dye (Broomfield, Colo./ Broomfield) set career-highs with 28 and 19 digs respectively. Hensley also reached double-figure digs with 18 for the match.
The Pioneers featured three players with double-digit kills led by senior middle blocker Rosa Drummond (Rye, N.H./ Portsmouth) who recorded 20. Smith had four other competitors reach double-figure digs led by rookie libero Julie Voorhes (Ramona, Calif./ Ramona) who had a match-high 31.
The Judges continue their season on Tuesday October 29th at Lasell with a 7:00 p.m. start.

[Pages 7 & 8]
The Editors
Polish Jewry has been destroyed, and its fate has been sealed; with it, the fate of our dear ones of our town of Turka on the Stryj River has also been sealed. More than two decades have passed since that bitter time, the time when destruction overtook our native town. Nevertheless, the voice of our brothers' blood cries to us from the vale of murder.
It commands us, the few survivors, to erect a monument to the town and its martyrs so that their memory will never end. This will be done in the form of the memorial book that is before us.
With trembling and awe, we approached the holy task of publishing the book. In our hearts we feared that we may be lacking in language, and might not have the ability to express in a comprehensive manner the wonderful section of life of our town before the Holocaust, and especially the destruction itself that fell upon that life. However, if we have succeeded in covering and transmitting even a small portion of the story of Turka -- it is good that we did not neglect the duty.
The chapters of this book will tell about vibrant and flowing life, from the time when the faithful city, the community of Turka and its villages, was still standing on its foundations. It will tell about wholesome, G-d fearing, upright, generous Jews; about rare Jews, pleasant and strong in body, like the trees and plants of the field around them; indeed, the beauty of the scenery and charm of nature gazed upon them.
It will tell about the youth who aspired for freedom and the repair of the nation and the world, who acted with enthusiasm; about dreams and desires that were woven and formed -- and also melted...
It will tell about the destruction and the Holocaust that overtook the town, just as it overtook the entire house of Israel, a complete community was cut off from the book of life! It will tell about the cries of babes who were tossed alive into the grave; about the Shema Yisrael that the Jews shouted out at the mouth of the pit. Indeed, the paths of tribulations that our dear ones suffered as they marched upon their final path will be reawakened.
[Pages 8-10]
The chapters of tribulations of the Jewish cities and of our town will blend together into a large scroll of fire that is etched into the raw flesh of the destroyers of our nation, as a mark of Cain -- for eternal shame and disgrace!
As long as they were walking among us, we did not appreciate them sufficiently. We only learned their true value after we lost them... Therefore, these pages shall serve as a monument and an eternal flame to the personalities who were uprooted from among us, and will be the source of influence, pride and splendor for us, and our children after us. We will read them and turn them over alone and together. May the holy souls shine like the splendor of the firmament -- and may their ashes rest in peace.
The Editors

|I would have long wanted to forget the place of my birth...
However, where Jewish blood flowed freely in the streets,
And where I lost everything of mine --
Can I now ever forget it.
Years have passed, they fly by quickly --
At times I see you happy, radiating with joy.
In the aroma of the fields. By the light already --
In my memory, I climb over hills and valleys

My native town of Turka comes up before my eyes; the memories as they were woven and etched into me during the years of my childhood. Their splendor has not been darkened in my heart with the passage of years. The images extend to the stories of the Holocaust and its atrocities.
I have not seen Turka since I made aliya to the Land in 1926. Indeed, even before that, my residency there was interrupted during the years of exile as refugees during the era of the First World War, and later during my studies in a different city. However, the unforgettable images and events are guarded with me, and they are a part of my essence.
The Town
Here is the center of the town and its main street Di Alica with its stores, work areas, and many taverns, bustling with large numbers of Jewish residents. The din increased during the market day sand the fairs, when male and female farmers stream in from its 72 dependent villages with their multicolored garments. They arrive by vehicle or on foot, laded with sacks of produce for sale or barter. The street fills up with the bustle of people and the sounds of various animals that are being brought to the central market. On these days, the shopkeepers and tradesman have a full quota of work, with the bounty coming to them in abundance. By evening, one could see the farmers half-drunk -- or even more than that -- returning to their villages, laden with their bartered merchandise. The shopkeepers were content about the successful day.
My early childhood years are interwoven with the mountain landscape of Upper Turka (Gorna Turka), a mixed neighborhood of half-farmer Jews and Ukrainian farmers. The neighborhood was later called Legionow Street, perhaps in honor of the Polish officials who lived in pleasant villas, surrounded by well-tended gardens. As it continues, the scene moves on to farmers' cottages whose yards were fenced in, shaded with trees, and had a well in the center.
[Page 13]
Roads led from behind the cottages and farm buildings to the green gardens and fields. The Jewish homes, which were generally similar to those of their neighbors, were close to the highway. Here and there, a grocery store or haberdashery could be seen.
The relationships between the residents were proper, and at times even very good and friendly. The members of the two nations knew the realities of the members of the other religion from up close. The gentiles knew the Jewish customs, holidays and festivals very well, and never denigrated their traditional foods or sensibilities. There were those who were even able to speak Yiddish.
|The town square on the market day (Wednesday)
Jewish farmers lived on the routes from the city toward the villages. Some of them worked the land, and grew fruit, sheep and horses for their own needs. These were wholesome, calm Jews. In the morning, one would see them walking toward the city with jars of milk for their regular customers. The horse merchants who lived in this neighborhood and owned plots of land stood out. They were daring and fearless, with a dynastic business that passed from father to son. The Konieres (horse merchants) were well-known. During the fairs, these horse merchants engaged in noisy activities. If their private farms did not provide sufficient food for their horses, at night they would cross the boundaries of their private fields to ensure that their animals are satiated... They were hot tempered, and did not shy away from daring adventures.
[Page 14]
In this neighborhood, where the city and village were intermixed, there was something that attracted the heart, with the ties to the land, to the white cottages among the green, and the charm and Jewish culture that blended well with those houses and imprinted their stamp of stability and of a native place. Their livelihood was not always abundant, but they learned how to be happy with their lot.
The Rivers
|The Romantic Bridge. The Litmierz Bridge as it flows into the Jablonka
The town was located on the banks of the Litmierz and the Jablonka, which both flowed into the Stryj River. The multicolored landscape was reflected in them. Life was reflected on both banks. In the village-like, agricultural area, strips of flax grew, which the farmers watered with wooden pitchers constructed for that purpose, so that they would whiten well in the sun's rays. Sounds of rhythmical beating could be heard from afar -- these were the washerwoman who were beating the laundry over a stone, as they washed it in the stream of water. Groups of ducks floated through the marshes, and barefoot children ran about, playing their games. The streams of the long Stryj riverbed differed from each other. There were sections with calm waters, hidden and shaded with ancient willows. In another place, there was a bathing beach for the burning summer. There were sections with willow shrubs that provided bristles for the brooms of the farmers, or willows that merited to be used for holy purposes by the Jews, who made small bundles of them for Hoshana Rabba to expiate sins. The Jews of Turka would gather on the banks of such rivers for Tashlich, as they cast off all of their sins from the year. On the other hand, the gentiles immersed
[Page 15]
the statue of Jesus in the overflow of the river.
In the center of the city, where the water was calm and the beach was smooth, women and young girls went out to wash the dishes, especially on the eves of Sabbaths and festivals. There was more such activity at the time of the koshering of dishes for Passover and the expunging of chometz from the dough troughs and dough boards. The scraping and scrubbing was accompanied by lively conversation and joyous humming. The children played by throwing smooth stones and fishing for small fish and other water creatures. Here and there, there were male and female students who left their noisy, crowded houses in order to find a quiet corner to review their studies before an exam.
As the winter came, the river changed its form and role, and turned into a silver strip. A shiny, hard path was formed over its frozen waters. Winter sleds laden with wood from the surrounding forests traveled along the easy, smooth, clear path. The youth found in it a great arena for winter sports. The bridges over the river represented all types of passages that were invented with the development of culture -- starting from a large tree trunk that would span its width, connecting both sides of the river, ranging all the way to a bridge with poles, sockets, and a parapet.
Abundant Beauty -- and a Slithering Snake
As the riverbed approaches the city, beautifully built brides appear that would also serve for vehicular traffic. The pinnacle was the tall viaduct rising above arches of stone that formed the continuation of the railway track on its way to the tunnel in the mountains. Beneath it was a large, wide bridge, known as The Bridge. Children never tired of raising their eyes to stare at the noisy train passing by, as they waved their hands with feeling toward the travelers at the heights above the city.
However, the peace and quiet was disturbed in the wake of the First World War. Serious anti-Semitism became exposed. The incited Ukrainians poured out their pent up wrath when the Cossacks penetrated the city. They pillaged the property of the Jews, and destroyed the city without letting up. After the retreat of the enemy, all of the booty was tossed into the riverbanks and the clear water of the river, out of fear of punishment from the authorities. Silver and gold objects, candlesticks, textiles and various types of merchandise rolled along the ground abandoned.
With the second conquest of the city, all of the Jews fled, ran off to various areas of Austria in the hinterland, and lived as refugees in camps. Life in the strange place increased the longing for the destroyed home, for the fields and gardens, for the Jewish existence. After the war, we did not find our house again, and we moved to live nearby. However, the vistas of nature did not change even then, and they received us with their good smile that welcomed back the wanderers. Life returned to its path.
[Page 16]
Turka and its beautiful area, with its forests filled with secrets and everything good, with its cool rivers and springs flowing abundantly, with its flowers that I awaited with the melting of the snow -- these were part of my birthplace. When I joined the Hashomer Hatzair chapter, the splendid body extended outside the boundary. With the excursions of the groups and the chapter, we also went to the farthest-off villages where the summer camp of the movement took place in beautiful surroundings. It is no wonder that when I made aliya to the Land, it was difficult for me to get used to the arid environment. I longed for my original birthplace despite the charm of the nights of Canaan. I hoped to visit my family on occasion, to feast my eyes and my heart once again on the landscape of my childhood. However, I was not aware that a poisonous snake was slithering through that bountiful beauty. The seeds of hatred began to be expressed, and deepened their roots in the gentile population. How insignificant was the lot of those whose conscience bothered them, and whose hearts trembled at the sight of the persecutions -- the atrocities of the Second World War, of the human beasts, of the loss of all human feeling, of the destruction of the beauty and the desecration of all that was precious, holy and sublime to us, eclipsed the pure memories.
Indeed, our birthplace turned into a cruel cemetery for our dear ones. The murderers became menacing heirs to the Jewish property that had been amassed by the sweat of the brow of generations.
|Abba Schneller
The youth Abba Schneller grew up in the background of the Carpathian Mountains, in a Jewish Galician town full of the grace and charm of nature. At the end of the First World War, when the Jewish refugees from the town who were scattered throughout all the corners of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire returned to their destroyed home -- the young man began to stand out, and became the leader of the Jewish youth. He established the Hashomer Hatzair pioneering-scouting movement, and he made aliya already in 1920, taking the first group of pioneers from Turka with him to the Land. Additional groups came after him. His name became Abba Hushi, one of the leaders of the Workers' Movement in the Land of Israel, and the mayor of the city of Haifa from 1950.

Our town of Turka was founded by a Polish landowner already in the 15th century (in a very old responsa, it is written Ungvar near Turka). After a few hundred years, the village of Turka became a small town, a Jewish town. At the beginning of the 20th century, Turka was old fashioned, pious and fanatic. All information from the wide world (Lemberg, Przemysl...) came through the wagon drivers who used to transport merchandise. Therefore, it was indeed said about our town that the sky is plugged up with rags. The town was situated in a valley through which several rivers flowed -- the Stryj and the Dniester. The latter, which flows through a section of Galicia and empties into the Black Sea, had its source in the Turka region. The lovely villages that surrounded the town were well-known in Galicia. People came to them from the big cities in order to enjoy fresh air.
When the train first began to course through the town through viaducts, a new period of improved livelihood began, including the export of wood and other articles to the outside world. The town was almost 100% Jewish. The gentiles lived outside the city or in the dozens of surrounding villages. Jews only came into contact with the Ukrainian gentiles on market days or fair days. There were boorish Ukrainian farmers
[Page 18]
and a few Polish officials. The Jew, steeped in Torah and antiquity, held himself above the gentile population, despite the fact that worldly affairs were strange to him.
|General vista
The Jews conducted their regular life in accordance with the Code of Jewish Law (Shulchan Aruch). They would go to the rabbi for Torah adjudications. For personal problems such as livelihood, serious illness, seeking a marriage partner, and the like, they would go to the Hassidic Rebbe. Their garb was specifically Jewish. On the Sabbath, they wore their silk bekishe (long robe) and streimel. The largest portion of the Jews were indeed scholars, simply occupying themselves with Torah and Talmud day and night. The sound of Torah could be heard from all of the kloizes. However, many other people were common folk -- brokers, forestry merchants, furriers, locksmiths, and wagon drivers. All of them were honest, G-d fearing people.
The rabbi of the town from before the First World War until the Holocaust was Rabbi Eliezer Segal Miszel. He was a genius, a student of the Lemberger rabbi,
[Page 19]
and the author of the Mishnat Eliezer responsa book. Aside from his scholarship, the rabbi was an expert in world literature, and sympathetic to the Haskalah and Zionism. In a certain sermon, he even compared Herzl to Moses. The Hassidim reproved him for this, but his great scholarship stood by him.
There were many synagogues and kloizes for a small town such as Turka. Every Hassidic group had its own kloiz -- there was a Belzer Kloiz, a Sadagora, and a Czortkower. Aside from worshipping, young and old people would sit and learn in the kloizes. From time to time, youths with curled peyos would snatch a glance at a little Hebrew book under the Gemara. The Beis Midrash was a house of worship for the common folk; whereas the city synagogue, which was called a miniature temple, and where, according to the law, one did not even have to affix a mezuza -- was used primarily for government celebrations -- first for the birthday observance of Kaiser Franz Josef, and later by the Poles for the observances of the Third of May.
The economic situation was not joyous. The wealthy and the middle class lived well, but the poor shopkeepers, tradesmen and brokers had a hard struggle, and earned their livelihood with difficulty. The Jewish community maintained the clergy: a rabbi, two judges. They also controlled the regulations of the cemetery.
At the outbreak of the First World War, a change in life took place. Most of the Jews fled the town to escape the Russians, some to Bohemia, and others to Vienna and other places. In 1919, when the war ended and the Turka refugees returned home to Galicia, a new epoch in the life of Galician Jews began, especially for the youth. Having spent the war years in Western Europe, they were strongly influenced by the western German culture.
First, the youth cut their beards and peyos. The girls were also influenced by the German styles and romanticism.
[Page 20]
There was literally a revolution in the spiritual arena. The youth were devoted to German and Polish Literature. Instead of studying Gemara, Yoreh Deah and worshipping, they became interested in Schiller and Heine. In the town, there could be seen the first sprouting of modern Hebrew Literature, the rays of redemption of Zionism, and the hope for the actualization of the recently issued Balfour Declaration.
Hebrew was greatly loved by the Jews, and everyone studied and read Hebrew. It is appropriate to mention the Hebrew teacher Yisrael Moshe Shreiber, who had the greatest influence upon the youth of Turka.
Turka also had a fine library where one could find Hebrew, Yiddish, German and Polish Literature under one roof. As has already been stated, many of the youths lived under the influence of German Literature. As far as I can recall, Motia Szein of blessed memory and many others such as my brother Yosef of blessed memory became expert in German philosophy. My brother even memorized Heine's poems in Hebrew and Yiddish.
In General, Turka had great scholars. The young people were involved with their Zionist education, but unfortunately, they received very little academic education on account of the fanaticism of their primarily Hassidic parents. This was the same situation in almost all of the small towns of Galicia.
However, the call to Zion, to literally go as pioneers to lay the groundwork for the upcoming State, was very strong. Two young, enthusiastic youths come to my mind: Abba Schneller-Hushi and my brother Moshe Yisraeli. My brother stemmed from a Hassidic atmosphere, literally from the kloiz bench and the Gemara. Abba Hushi, on the other hand, was an excellent student who stemmed from a common, working family. Hushi was enthused with the Zionist ideal. He organized the first pioneering group and set out for the Land of Israel. The influence of that deed was indescribable. A band with music accompanied the pioneers, with Hushi, to the station. Later, that group, headed by Moshe Yisraeli, had a great influence upon
[Page 21]
the youth that came later. They, the young boys and girls, paved the way to the Jewish State with their sweat and might.
In the year 1930, I left our dear, beloved town of Turka, with its beautiful mountains and landscapes. Unfortunately, I never saw our native town again.
Nevertheless, I found consolation when I visited Israel a few years ago. I then became convinced that Israel is not a widower, and The eternity of Israel does not lie. -- when I saw what Jewish genius constructed in our Land.
When I saw everything, I blurted out the traditional blessing: May this never be spoiled, and that the great deeds in Israel should be a memorial for our pure martyrs from Turka.

Carpathian Mountains, you tall ones
Are Witnesses to the atrocities of those days;
The mountains trembled...

Were overtaken by nightmares, exhaustion, and pain --
They walked the steps...
Carpathian Mountains, only you know

Of the groves of the Carpathians

The sound of the cries of the dead.
And the young babies
Crying from afar --
The waves of the river will no longer
Silence the agony.

704: Principle of Explosion
|Principle of Explosion
Title text: You want me to pick up waffle cones? Oh, right, for the wine. One sec, let me just derive your son's credit card number and I'll be on my way.
Cueball explains the principle of explosion, a classical law of logic, that says that if you start out with premises (axioms) that are contradictory, it is possible to derive (prove) any statement in the language you are working in, true or false. (In math for example, if you assume that √2 is a rational number, you can prove things that are obviously false. Consequently you draw the conclusion that √2 is an irrational number. This is how proof by contradiction works.)
His friend misinterprets this to mean that you can derive any fact about the physical world. He starts with a formula of propositional logic that says "P and not-P", where P is a proposition. To say that P is both true and false is a contradiction, it's false regardless of whether P is true or false. To Cueball's bewilderment he then successfully derives his mom's phone number. His mom turns out to be Miss Lenhart (now a Mrs?), and to his vexation she asks his friend out.
Waffle cones are a variety of ice cream cone. The rest of the title text is just more of the main comic's derivation joke, since Cueball's "friend" is apparently a cheap bastard who can't spare five bucks to buy his own ice cream cones.
- [Cueball is talking to his friend.]
- Cueball: If you assume contradictory axioms, you can derive anything. It's called the principle of explosion.
- Friend: Anything? Lemme try.
- [Cueball's friend is writing on a piece of paper on a desk.]
- [Cueball's friend is holding up a piece of paper to Cueball, while holding a phone.]
- Friend: Hey, you're right! I started with P∧¬P and derived your mom's phone number!
- Cueball: That's not how that works.
- [Cueball is looking at the piece of paper, while his friend is talking to someone on a phone.]
- Friend: Mrs. Lenhart?
- Cueball: Wait, this is her number! How—
- Friend: Hi, I'm a friend of— Why, yes, I am free tonight!
- Cueball: Mom!
- Friend: No, box wine sounds lovely!
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
Could Mrs Lenhart be Miss Lenhart's mother, perhaps? This makes Cueball-1 Miss Lenhart's brother (and thus possibly "Cueball Lenhart", unless he's a half-brother or step-brother or the like). Of course with provably two Cueballs in this situation (and assuming they aren't twins, unless #2... no, we won't go there) we can't therefore assume that any particular lone Cueball is related. However, if "Cueball is a Lenhart AND Cueball is not a Lenhart" then.... well, lock up your mothers... <smirk> 22.214.171.124 22:01, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey, what do waffle cones and box wine have to do with each other? Wouldn't the cones just get soggy? Just wondering. Anonymous 18:30, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- This is what I came here to figure out. "Oh, right, for the wine" makes it sound like it's supposed to be obvious. 188.8.131.52 00:51, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- Logically the waffle cones are unrelated to the wine, it's a separate item. -Pennpenn 18.104.22.168 00:55, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- I thought the joke was that Cueball's mother was cheap and tasteless because she enjoys drinking boxed wine out of waffle cones. 126.96.36.199 17:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Using the principle of explosion, boxed wine and waffle cones are very much related, and are essentially the same thing. 184.108.40.206 01:29, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
Gah, unpaired parentheses... 188.8.131.52 05:48, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- I added the end parenthesis, just for you. Although, now I'm wondering if double parentheses are really the best alternative... --Hammy2211 (talk) 17:09, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
There was a community portal discussion of what to call Cueball and what to do in case with more than one Cueball. I have added this comic to the Category:Multiple Cueballs. Since here it is clearly the Cueball that calls the mom who is the protagonist and do the important "talking" of this comic he should be listed as Cueball (if any of them). So have rephrased the explanation to take this into account and also noted that the "friend" also looks like Cueball... --Kynde (talk) 15:44, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Weekly Release Spotlight: King Krule
King Krule
6 Feet Beneath the Moon
XL / True Panther
By: Samantha Sacks
I first saw King Krule perform at Pitchfork Music Festival in 2012. He was playing on the Blue Stage as people began trickling into the shaded area. At this point, he was just beginning to receive much recognition for his blues-meets-soul sound and an impressively deep voice. He was barely 17 years old, but Archy Marshall's performance had lured in many only after a few songs. Many might have been lured in, I know I was, by his exceptional ability to communicate confounding emotional maturity. Earlier that year I remember returning to his November self-titled EP over and over again.
6 Feet Beneath the Moon is Marshall's first studio LP, and it's apparent the young musician is no amateur. The album is extremely versatile, as it encompasses aspects of blues, jazz, rap, hip-hop, along with electronic elements, seamlessly throughout. King Krule is also doing more of what lured us to him the first place. King Krule was most noteworthy for his take on blues and soul, but this album definitely suggests that there's a lot more to his craft. In tracks like, "Neptune Estate," hip-hop drumbeats become prominent as Archy does a melodic rap. Not unlike some of the more popular hip-hop and rap albums of late an ensemble of horns are featured giving this track that jazz edge that he became so well known for. 6 Feet Below the Moon seems to be an expansion, a reach for something better, and close to something greater.
The album begins with the track, "Easy Easy" which is more reminiscent of his first EP and earlier work. The track is simple yet powerful as it opens with just Marshall's voice and a repeating bass line. With lyrics like, "Cause if you going through hell, we just keep going," it only becomes clearer how emotional the song is.
"Has This Hit?" is a more jazz-influenced track with eerie melodies and echo-y guitar effects. Reverbed vocals come in and out making the eerie mood more prominent, yet ethereal. Electronic elements become more prevalent in the track "Foreign 2". Synths and fast drumbeats make this track a lot more fast paced before it fades out.
The eeriness continues through the album in the form of layered, effected vocals and melodies that, at times, seem slightly conflicting. One could even describe it as darkwave. The songs also seem to alternate in speed; slower, more eerie bits are followed by fast-paced rhythms, horns, and angrier lyrics. The album shares its extreme moments openly and without restraint much like a teenager going through mood swings. However, it is the finesse by which the listener is brought through motif after motif, that makes 6 Feet Beneath the Moon more a coming of age- less of a tantrum. The last track, "Bathed In Grey," fades in as it concludes the darker mood of the album. The jazzy piano compliments the high-hat of the hip-hop drumbeat. The track slowly fades out as the jazzy piano melody continues into the expanse.

If the Angry Bird birds where to be transformed into an anime design, how do you think they should, or would look like? I asked myself the same question so I went ahead and drew my answer. Today I will show you "how to draw an anime Angry Bird", step by step. The Angry Birds are such awesome looking characters because even though they are so stubby, they are totally recognizable when it comes to trying to figure out what species of bird you are looking at.

Don't you just love the multitudes of people that come to our towns for the Independence Day and Pioneer Day celebrations?
It is exciting to see Main Street lined with masses of people scrutinizing the parade. By the way, I am fond of the new route.
It somehow seems fitting to have the parade "parade" the length of Main Street from south to north. And the hordes of parade viewers are impressive.
This year, I did something I've done only once before, which was to watch the parade on Main Street. Our typical viewing spot was lost when the parade was re-routed and we were looking for new territory.
Another thing I've never done before; I went down early and put up chairs on the street. Much to my surprise, when I took my chairs downtown two hours before the parade, the street was nearly completely lined with chairs. I had a tough time finding a spot for my three chairs. Has it always been that way on Main Street?
The best part of the parade: the Utah National Guard Sappers, recently returned from Afghanistan, leading the parade.
The first event of the day, however, is the annual 5K run at Loyds Lake. Devin Wright, age 18, was the first of 67 runners to cross the finish line with a time of 18:55.
Right behind him was MHS junior-to-be Collin Hatch in 19:12. Walter Bird was third overall with a time of 21:34.
The top overall female runner is San Juan star Brielle Francom, who finished in 23:19, besting all but five of the men. Annie Anderson was second in 24:19 and Marilyn Redd was third in 26:.
Besides Francom and Anderson, who won the teens and 20s age divisions, other female age division winners are Kelcey Tupuola 30s, PJ Maughan 40s, Lillian Bayles 50s, and Tanya Lowry 60s.
Male winners, besides Wright (teens) and Bird (40s), are Aaron Hansen 20s, Stephen Allen 30s, and Robert Hatch 50s.
Seventeen kids ran in the kids race. Thanks to all the helpers and organizer Jeff Hunt.
Now an apology. There are simply too many people to mention who were triumphant at the Lions Club breakfast, which occured simultaneous as the Loyds Lake race.
Page Break, Larry Miller's old team, won the Blue Mountain Fastpitch Softball tournament. PB triumphed over surprise finalist Moab DW Construction. DW upset tournament favorite, Aces, 6-5 to gain the championship game.
Twelve teams enjoyed a rain-free tournament along with what tournament chairman Greg Westfall called three to four times more fans than usual.
Two highlights of the fastpitch tournament were the Sappers of the Utah National Guard fielding a team and the home run derby. The top four homer-hitters were all Page Break guys, with one hitter blasting 25 homers in only 50 pitches.
Tractor Pull
Ok, I don't mean to make fun or be disrespectful. Please don't be offended but I don't get the Big Four Tractor Pull.
The tractors are cool, especially the ancient ones and the sight of them in the parade is enjoyed. The Big Four coming down Main Street is always a fascinating sight, but I just can't figure out the tractor pull. How can you tell who wins?
Now, as you may know, I'm not one for victory celebrations. I've written disparagingly about taunting and strutting and drawing attention to oneself on the basketball courts and football fields, but tractor pullers seem to take that to the other extreme; barely a knowingly raised eyebrow and definitely no fist pumps.
Maybe the tractor operators (or is it drivers?) don't know if they've won either. The guy with the most animation on his face is the guy sitting on the back of the sled pushing buttons.
I have no idea what he's doing. I guess I don't know what are the criteria for winning. Is it distance or speed or weight or the depth of the furrow?
Someone tried to explain the highbrow nature of the competition and the complicated formula used to calculate pulling power, but it was all John Deere to me. I just wanna know the final score. I just wanna know who won so I can take their picture and write their name in the paper.
Del Hunter captured the Hideout Match Play Championship contested over the last two months. Sixtyfour players started the annual competition but Hunter and Doug Pehrson survived to the championship match.
The two battled it out evenly until the 18th hole, where Hunter won with a par to beat Pehrson's par.....what? The golfers' respective handicaps gave Hunter a stroke on that hole, allowing the win. Del Hunter won. Where's the picture?

Players of the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim can now sign up for the beta for Dawnguard, the terrific-looking, demonic first expansion for Skyrim.
To do so, they'll want to visit the Dawnguard site, where they can register. Bethesda will pick players for the beta in "about a week," after which they will get an Xbox Live code to download the expansion. The version Beta testers get will be the full expansion, complete with achievements.
Given how buggy some of Bethesda's past expansions have been, it's good that early players will give them a chance to work out some of the kinks. And hey, PC players like me may have to wait, but we'll doubtless get an even less buggy product as a result.
So... uh... so there 360 players! With your dumb early version. Hrmph.

Who's Behind It?
Primal was founded in 1992 by 'real' cyclists. It's an ethos they maintain today: every employee must be a passionate and positive cyclist - but not necessarily a hugely talented one! Their primary aim is to create clothes for cyclists that not only work perfectly, but also look unique, beautiful and full of character.
Their design department is famous in the cycling world, constantly creating ambitious new looks but never allowing style to overwhelm substance. Whilst they are amongst the biggest cycling clothing companies in the world, they stand out by remaining human, approachable and flexible. They go out of their way to avoid becoming a corporate behemoth focused on 'peddling not pedalling'. It's a great approach.
Their Global Headquarters is in Denver, Colorado (lucky them!), but they have been growing within Europe for several years now, and their UK team is fully focused on what is a new market for them. We are hoping to grow with them.

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Michael Grabner set off a three-goal second-period barrage off a power play Monday, sending the New York Islanders to a 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The decision made a winner of Islanders Coach Jack Capuano, who missed Saturday's season-opening 2-1 loss to New Jersey due to a kidney stone attack. He was back behind the bench Monday.
Grabner's power-play goal 6:50 into to contest came off assists by Mark Streit and New York goaltender Evgeni Nabokov.
Matt Martin and Kyle Okposo scored in a 4-minute span later in the period and David Ullstrom made the score 4-0 91 seconds into the third period. All the goals were against Tampa Bay's Anders Lindback, who still made 40 saves.
Although Nabokov, who ended up with 23 saves, had a shutout to that point, he allowed three goals in about 5 1/2 minutes of the final period and Tampa Bay pulled within 4-3 with 12 minutes to go.
Martin St. Louis got the Lightning on the board less than a minute after Ullstrom scored and Benoit Pouliot and Steven Stamkos scored 34 seconds apart for the other Tampa Bay goals.

A video showing off some of the imaginative use of visual effects and music in DmC; a contributing factor to the game's awesomeness. Contains minor spoilers.
DmC has great level design but everything else is trash in this game..
I played the demo last night and the game looks to be spectacular.
It really opened my eyes to how idiotic everyone is being complaining about how they changed the character a little.
It's ridiculous.

The Best Restaurants in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Find classic meals in Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina (and how to make them at home)
The Piedmont, the rolling terrain in the middle of North Carolina, has long been known as Tobacco Road for its most famous farming export. Lately, however, the region has turned its attention to a more healthful harvest. Not that the area has forgotten its agricultural roots—you can still drive half an hour in just about any direction from the capitol building in Raleigh and find yourself surrounded by farmland. But instead of tobacco rows, you're now more apt to see fields of sustainably grown heirloom tomatoes or pastures of grazing dairy goats.
What prompts that kind of change? Eating from the land is woven into the culture here. The diverse topography of North Carolina (only 500 miles separate western mountains from eastern coast) means chefs can source everything from oysters to apples, both likely harvested within the same day. Public health policy has certainly helped, too; with smoking rates dwindling, North Carolina farmers have turned to other crops just in time for the rising local-food movement.
But the main driver is an increasingly cosmopolitan population drawn to the region by the three major universities (Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, NC State) and scores of international technology firms that now make their homes in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill—the three cities in the eastern Piedmont that are collectively known as The Research Triangle.
While the recession hasn't cast as dark a cloud over the region as it has over other parts of the country (thanks in large measure to the strong presence of nearby electronics and pharmaceutical manufacturers and researchers), its shadow can still be seen in a dramatic increase in fine dining establishments now offering bargain meals. The quality of ingredients isn't sacrificed, but portion size is often reduced—a silver lining for those seeking to eat healthy.
Among the most enticing of such dining deals is Chef Scott Crawford's seasonally evolving Market Menu at Herons, the restaurant in the Umstead Hotel and Spa. With a focus on local produce—much of it grown in the Umstead's garden—the three course prix fixe lunch might feature winter squash consommé, roasted Carolina flounder, and a Honeycrisp apple tart for $20. An additional $12 yields wine pairings for each course.
Crawford is one of a growing number of chefs discovering inventive new ways to present traditional Southern flavors. At Panciuto, Aaron Vandemark peppers his contemporary Italian menu with dishes such as grilled pork rib chop with wilted Tuscan greens and that country-cooking classic, red-eye gravy. At Watts Grocery, Chef Amy Tornquest's Frogmore stew includes white corn, shrimp, lump crabmeat, and potatoes in a spicy tomato broth seasoned with house-cured bacon. Butcher Jeff Barney brought fine dining way out into the country—and into an old, no-frills gas station 17 miles west of Chapel Hill—when he opened Saxapahaw General Store in 2008. The day's menu will likely be a mystery until you arrive, but expect dishes like hearty chickpea succotash or burgers made from goat raised just down the road.
"We love our Southern cuisine, and we have lots of fantastic restaurants that gladly provide it to us," says Dave Artigues, a Duke researcher-turned-farmer. "But if you look carefully, ingredients are fresher and more locally produced. Preparation is ingeniously executed, allowing for a more healthful meal that still honors the Southern tradition that we all hold so dear here."
Among the rapidly growing number of organic farms in the area is Hilltop Farms, where bok choy and tatsoi might just as easily be harvested for a chef's sophisticated Asian stir-fry as sweet potatoes and collard greens for a home cook's old-fashioned Southern supper. Cane Creek Farm provides grass-fed beef and heritage breed Ossabaw and Gloucestershire Old Spot pork for restaurants like Piedmont, where chef-partners Drew Brown and Andy Magowan transform them into shortrib ravioli and Italian sausage. And Artigues' Elodie Farms hosts monthly Dinners on the Porch, where area chefs highlight Artigues' goat cheese in five-course gourmet meals.
"Though you'll see young hipster farmers working happily alongside a 75-year-old tobacco grower, it's not just about being trendy for North Carolina farmers," says Sean Wilson, of Fullsteam brewery in Durham. "We're just doing what we've always done. There's an authenticity and permanence to the South that we're proud of. Local food isn't just a novelty here; people really support it."
As in other other cities, Triangle diners pay as much attention to what's in their glass as to what's on their plate. Here, though, tradition is as revered as innovation.
Mixologist Gary Crunkleton and his staff readily regale customers with the history of meticulously researched classic cocktails—Manhattans, Sazeracs, Pimm's Cups, and Old-Fashioneds—at The Crunkleton. At Fullsteam, meanwhile, the focus is more current and closer to home: Locally grown sweet potatoes, parsnips, and mulberries make their way into subtly nuanced brews (there's no cloying pumpkin-pie spice in the sweet potato beer, for example).
One thing you won't find at these spots (or any other bar in the area) is a haze of cigarette smoke. In January of this year, North Carolina—whose name has been synonymous with tobacco since the days of Sir Walter Raleigh—passed a statewide ban on smoking in restaurants and bars.
Nowadays, if there's any smoking going on in a restaurant on Tobacco Road, it's probably something tasty being cooked up.
After more than a decade of supplying some of the area's best restaurants and sandwich shops, local artisanal bakeries are now offering their own dine-in options. At La Farm Bakery in the nearby town of Cary, master baker Lionel Vatinet fills his Parisian baguettes with charcuterie and Gruyère, and transforms his rustic farm bread into croques monsieurs. When the weather is fair—a reasonable expectation here well into October—the landscaped patio at Guglhupf fills quickly with customers hungry for light salads of shrimp salad with radicchio, local tomatoes, and green goddess dressing or sandwiches ranging from roasted beef with arugula and blue cheese spread to house-roasted turkey with watercress. Top it off with a cup of locally roasted coffee and a Linzer cookie.
Go there: Guglhupf
Make it at home: Fall Salad with Apples, Walnuts, and Stilton recipe
For the menu at bu·ku, Chef William D'Auvray draws inspiration from the pushcarts and markets of the world. Diners can embark on a gastronomic tour that might include Colombian arepas, Polish beer--braised chicken pierogis, Thai-style barbecued pike, and a sashimi selection unrivaled by any of the traditional sushi bars in the area.

text: Devils on Horseback So much decadence in one little bite! You will be hard pressed to find the discipline to stop at just one of these dates filled with Stilton cheese, wrapped in bacon, and baked. Buckwheat-Cheddar Blini with Smoked Salmon These wonderful Norwegian-inspired blini (mini pancakes) are made from earthy buckwheat flour and topped with salmon. Bagel Chips with Ricotta, Chive Puree, and Prosciutto Using bagel chips as the base for an hors d'oeuvre is a quick way to add flavor and crunch. The chips here are topped with fresh ricotta, chive puree, and prosciutto. Garlic-Herb Marinated Olives When you need an easy, make-ahead hors d'oeuvre, just toss olives with dried oregano and garlic. Roasted Potatoes with Chives, Bacon, and Maytag Blue Cheese You can't eat only one of these potato hors d'oeuvres. They're that good. Cajun Shrimp with Remoulade Sauce This takes only four minutes on the fire. Chicken Mole Tostadas Pipi\u00e1n sauce, a Mexican type of mole that comes from pumpkin seeds, can be very rich and creamy. Here we top each tortilla chip with pipi\u00e1n and shredded chicken tossed with cilantro, onion, and lime juice. Goat Cheese Kisses Each of these bite-size savory treats has a bit of dried fruit tucked inside for a slightly sweet surprise. They make wonderful holiday gifts as well as elegant little hors d'oeuvres. Perfect Guacamole Our favorite avocados for guacamole are the varieties with thick, pebbly, green skin such as Hass, Pinkerton, and Reed. While guacamole is usually served as a dip, it is also a great accompaniment for fajitas or tacos. Carrots with Pine Nuts and Basil Slender strips of sweet carrot take a brief dip in boiling water and then join rich toasted pine nuts and refreshing basil in an ideal combination. Grate the carrots in a food processor or by hand, whichever seems easier.

Research shows that when browsing a store's shelf, 100% of people said that a wine's label is either somewhat or very important in their decision to purchase a product.

That Tierra Earth bottle is cool. Never saw a package with its own terroir before. Hah.
I LOVE the BYO bottle concept. What a great gift! I'm going to remember this one for my next dinner party.
As a designer, may I say, that the design on the outside should be indicative of what's on the inside. While the Tierra Earth bottle is unique, I would hate to find that the wine tasted of dirt and nothing else.
It's possible that it would taste of dirt (earthiness ain't so bad), but I think there's generally a high correlation between design and product quality. If a winery is putting a big effort into it's labels, they're probably not skimping on closures, grape sorting, etc. It's not a guarantee, but it's a fairly good quality indicator in my experience, though not the best quality indicator of course - better to have a real review from a trusted source, and the only way to know for sure is to taste it yourself.
Actually I like the taste of a little gravel and funkiness in my wine... after all, my preference is still old world styles. I do agree with you that a producer who is willing to spend a little more on product and closures will often spend a little more on label design to try and make his wine stand out on the shelf. I can't quite get past the label as an indicator of what's in the bottle. I think we should open a bottle and test the quality!
I had a lot of fun designing these labels..........
Actual banknotes from the Civil War era, and each bottle in a case has a different label.
What a great idea and execution on The Vault labels. Money on the outside indicates quality and value on the inside. I just produced my first wine (a small group effort). The winery in Bordeaux (Chateau Cantinot) sent me the blending wines and we held a extensive blending session, eventually selecting my cuvee. We named the wine, a 2009 Premier Cotes de Blaye, "Notre Premier Cuvee"... meaning our first blend. It has matured in barrique, been bottled and is on its way here. The consulting winemaker - French winemaker of the year in 2005 said "it has power but with great finesse." After it arrives maybe we should exchange a bottle of "The Vault" for a bottle of "Notre Premier Cuvee."

Nice. My sister and I had a discussion on this the other day, http://twosisterswinetripping.com/2... and though she felt bad for being a label drinker we agreed that we all do it. Love the labels of Aussie brand Alpha Box&Dice, btw.
Wonderful and some of them really original designs, the Earth bottle is really surprising, here i sugest two bottles designed by David Delfín for bodegas Sonsierra, one like a perfume bottle the other like a medicine bottle: http://www.sonsierra.com/tienda/pop...
Wonderful and some of them really original designs, the Earth bottle is really surprising, here i sugest two bottles designed by David Delfín
Awesome designs...
Some of these are great! The label actually matters a lot when I choose a wine - I know it shouldn't. Similarly, the atmosphere of a restaurant is as much a consideration as the food! It's about the full package.
Catching up with Snooth....some great labels and bottles here, We had some wine in Arizona....not terrible....and the labels were quite interesting, the winery is Bitter Creek Winery. We brought home the empties.
no need to ask again because this is absolutly splendid

The Lightweight Leatherman
Weighing a mere 1.58 ounces, the stainless steel, three-inch Leatherman Style PS lets you pocket eight tools, including pliers, a wire cutter, small scissors, tweezers, a file, and both Phillips- and flat-head screwdrivers. On a recent hike, it proved well suited to such tasks as servicing backcountry stoves and straightening bent bike spokes. One drawback: The PS lacks a simple knife blade. If you need one, you can trade up to the CS model, which drops the pliers in favor of beefier scissors and the addition of a knife blade. The CS weighs 1.4 ounces and works better as a simple camp tool, where the ability to cut cleanly through a variety of materials comes in handy. [$20 and $25 respectively, leatherman.com]

Who knows all the names to the characters from The Muppets? Well, let me name them for you; Animal, Beaker, Bean Bunny, Camilla the Chicken, Clifford, Crazy Harry, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Dr. Julius Strangepork, Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem, Fozzie Bear, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo the Great, Rizzo the Rat, Pops, the Swedish Chef, and many, many more puppets that I haven't listed. As you know all the character figures from the Muppets where all created by Jim Henson and his workshop team. Even though all the lovable characters have been around since the mid-fifties, the two prominent stars have always been Kermit and Miss Piggy. Of course Fozzie Bear was a well-recognized figure as well because of his hilarious jokes and sometimes crazy antics. When I was a little girl I used to watch reruns of the comical all puppets show, but in my parents day they were just as popular to them as Spongebob is to us. I hope you like this tutorial on "how to draw the Muppets", and if there is any figure you would like to see made by Jim Henson, just let me know. Adios people and enjoy the day here on Dragoart.com.
