Vincent, Kansas
Parishioners of St. Fidelis Church in Victoria who lived several miles south of town wanted a church that was closer to their farm homes. Although there were twenty-two families who expressed an interest in creating a new parish, only seven families joined in the efforts to establish the church. Maurice Baier, Lorenz Braun, Anton Dreiling, Ben Huser, Michael Reichert, Walter Rajewski and Peter Weigel were the men who led the task of building a new church. Because these pioneers were German speaking people who immigrated from Russia, they decided to name their church after the great Apostle of Germany, St. Boniface. The dedication of St. Boniface Church was held on December 18, 1907, and the town site of Vincent was platted in 1910. The Register of Deeds office showed thirty-eight lots with three streets running north and south and alleys running east and west. For a short period of time, Vincent had a livery barn owned by Jake Falkenstein who moved his store from Pfeifer to accommodate the many people who traveled from Odin and Claflin by horse and wagon to attend different services at the Catholic Church in Victoria. Although the town never grew to include much more then the church, school and a grocery store, the church flourished during the 52 years Father Callistus Ractenwald, O.F.M. Cap served at St. Boniface. Even during its peak years, the Vincent community consisted of only about thirty-five families that lived on farms in the vicinity of the church.

Around the turn of the century, the German immigrants who came from Russia and lived in Herzog and south of Victoria, began to discuss having a much larger church built to accommodate their growing parish. The plans for the new church were prepared in 1905. The farm families who attended Mass at Herzog (Victoria), but lived along Big Creek about 5 miles south of town, began their own discussions of having a church built closer to their area. Because their land was blessed with large quantities of limestone that could be quarried and used to build the new church in Herzog, they felt they would be burdened with much of the task of providing the limestone block to help build the new church. It was an extremely difficult task to dig and break-out the limestone rock and then load and haul it by wagon and a team of horses. Originally, there were twenty-two families who were interested in starting up a new parish south of Victoria, but only seven or eight families took on the job. Once they had the rock foundation completed for their new parish, they decided that was enough and completed the church as a wood frame structure. Family members and relatives of this core group were generous in donating their time and labor to build the church.
From May to June 1907, the church building was enclosed and the roof completed. The roof was completed in one day by two different groups of farmers. One side of the roof was completed by the German Russian people, and the other side by a mixed group of Germans, Low Germans, Polish and Austrian families. So the dream of their own church was realized in the fall of 1907, and after it was completed, a dedication Mass was held on December 18th.
Today, even though the number of parishioner is small, they all pitch in to help with the upkeep on the church and parish grounds, help set up the Christmas nativity display and organize the annual parish picnic.
Mass Times: Sunday 8 am-Nov to April, Saturday 6:30 pm-May to October.
Fr. Callistus Rectenwald
In 1927, Fr. Callistus Ractenwald arrived to be the priest at St. Boniface. He was born in 1897 in Pittsburgh, PA. and was raised in this large industrial city of western Pennsylvania. His parents had ten children (four boys - six girls) and he was the second oldest. As a boy and young man, Callistus assisted his father, Mr. Louis A. Rectenwald, in the operation of the family drugstore.
Callistus began his studies for the priesthood at a Benedictine College. After a year of study there he transferred to St. Fidelis Seminary in Herman, PA. to study for the Capuchins. Completing his novitiate, he came to St. Fidelis Monastery in Victoria, KS to study philosophy. After his theological training at SS. Peter and Paul's Monastery in Cumberland, MD., Father was ordained on June15, 1926, by Archbishop Curley of Baltimore, Maryland. His first appointment was to major in education at Catholic University of America. The next year at the age of 30, he came to Kansas to become the full time priest at St. Boniface.
The great open plains, the German speaking people, their living habits and the climate were all so different in comparison with his home state of Pennsylvania. It must have been quite difficult because there was no electricity, only candles and kerosene lamps. There was no indoor water supply or bathroom, only an outhouse (called a "nushnik" by the Volga Germans). Growing up in the city and now making his home on the Kansas prairie, Father had to learn how to light the stove and use wood, coal or cow chips to heat the small little four room home. He learned how to bake bread and cook on the top of a two burner kerosene stove. It was a treat when the farm women would prepare meals and deliver fresh baked goods or invite Father to join them at their homes for a visit.
He learned about gardening from the nearby farm families and started his own garden which he had to hand carry every drop of water to the garden spot with a two gallon porcelain bucket from the hand pump well. Father Callistus started many trees at Vincent, even during the dry dust bowl years. He watered and cared for them, and many of the elm and cedar trees are still standing today. He knew that if he was able to get the trees growing good, he would have shade in the summer and protection from wind in the winter. He created a beautiful surrounding for his church that was located out on the hill in the country. Some called it the "Pearl of the Prairie".
Big Creek was located only a quarter mile from his home and he liked to visit that area as often as possible. He enjoyed exploring the trees, rocks, plants and simple curiosities that Mother Nature provided along the creek. He would often times take a few alter boys with him on trips to the creek to carry back some rocks, wood or moss that he had ideas for new and special projects. It was because of his love of nature and collecting rocks that led him to one of his most impressive projects at St. Boniface Church – creating a display resembling the city of Bethlehem. Over the years, Father learned many skills he needed to maintain his church. He became a good repairman, painter, worked with wood and would sew and mend the church vestments. He could do farm chores, was a really good piano player and in his spare time he enjoyed sitting in his old rocking chair and putting rosaries beads together. Every year, Callistus worried that his church superiors, in their annual assignment session, might reassign him to a different parish. Father often prayed that he would not die alone by himself out in the country, but that he could die among the people he had served. His prayer was dramatically answered on the first Sunday after Easter in1980. On Easter Sunday, he was ill and unable to deliver his homily on that day. The following Sunday on April 13, he held his Easter sermon, and no sooner after had he finished Mass, he collapsed and died right there in the sacristy. He was 82 years old when he died.
The Easter Mass held on April 4, 2010, was said in honor of Father Callistus Rectenwald and the 30th anniversary of his death. The gift bearers for the Mass were the last Mass servers in 1980 and who remained members of the parish today. They were Terry Braun, Kevin and Galen Huser, Keith Leiker, and Darin VonLintel. The story of Father Callitus is unique in many ways and it is quite amazing that he was able to serve all but 18 months of his fifty-three years in the priesthood at St. Boniface.
Little Town of Bethlehem
Since 1927, members of St. Boniface parish have enjoyed the celebration of the birth of Christ with a very special Christmas Crib. When Father Callistus Rectenwald, O. F. M. Cap. came to the parish in 1927, he began a Nativity display resembling the city of Bethlehem. For 52 years, he lovingly built and maintained the beautiful Nativity scene with the help of the young boys of the parish.
Many things on the crib are centered around the song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" including: the pear tree, partridge, doves, hens, maid a milking, etc... Also, the countryside around the "Little Town of Bethlehem" with shepherds, sheep dogs, deer, birds, trees, rocks, streams and bridges, water wells and the Bethlehem Inn, which had no room for Mary and Joseph, were all represented.
The rocks and shells come from 105 different countries, many from the Pacific Islands and all 50 states. They represent people from all over the world, for whom Christ was born, lived, suffered and died for the redemption of all mankind.
Rocks came from places like the Philippines, Bora-Bora, Ethiopia, Barbados, the Soviet Union, Scandinavia and Vietnam. Jade came from Taiwan, and a special rock came from the cave of Lourdes where the Blessed Mother appeared to Bernadette. Peacock rocks from the Ozarks and Rocky Mountain rocks from Colorado are among the many other mineral rocks from all 50 states. All are nicely marked as to their origin and when visitors read the labels they are amazed at the many different locations the rocks came from.
Shells from Samoa, Caladonia and island beaches around the world are part of the collection. A sea urchin from the Caroline Islands, coral from the reefs of Australia and Hawaii, and many other shells from various states in the United States are all displayed.
The polished stones came from Milton Wellbrock, who lived and worked in the community and had a rock-polishing hobby that caught the eye of Callistus. The water wells were built to include a rope and bucket and were to represent the hand dug wells, a means-of obtaining water in the Bethlehem area at the time of Christ's birth.
The Bethlehem Inn and other buildings were built from scraps of wood and paneling covered with sand pebbles taken from the church driveway and glued to the walls, making a stone-effect building. The stable was constructed from wood taken from a pear tree from a nearby farm orchard to create a Moraccan 18th century style crib resembling those found in Pittsburg, PA where Callistus was born. He spent much of his boyhood visiting the many cribs constructed in the area churches with his parents.
The statues of the three kings are from Germany, as well as the figures of the Holy Family and some of the shepherds. The infant Jesus is from Spain. One of the large camels comes from the Holy Land and is
made of olive wood. An alabaster bird from San Marino, Italy, and cypress roots from Louisiana are samples of the many birds, plants and animals found on the crib. He used the Holstein cows and the maid on a stool milking a cow near the stable, along with the chickens and other animals to represent the many farms in the rural Vincent area. The dog near the Bethlehem Inn entrance was waiting for his master to arrive home.
Over the years, the construction of the nativity display has changed somewhat, as Callistus always found something new to add to his "Little Town of Bethlehem." Whenever one of the parishioners took a trip or when the young men were in service during the wars, they always remembered to bring back a souvenir for his crib. The Nativity scene, which began as a labor of love for Callistus, is now a monument to his memory. Each Christmas season since his death in 1980, members of the parish have set up the display as a tribute to its creator and as a memorial in his name, for the education of seminarians in the Capuchin order. The display is approximately 15' wide and 12' tall and fills the entire front right portion of the church.
Christmas time draws thousands of visitors to see this wonderful display which is open on Sunday afternoons in December and on New Years Day. Tours are available by calling 785-735-2767 or 785-735-9258.
St. Boniface Cemetery
The little country cemetery for the "Pearl of the Prairies" is located just to the north of the church on the east side of the road.
Old Vincent School House
621 Vincent Ave
It is only fitting that the current owners who reside in the old Vincent School House are former school teachers. Eric and Pat Austin purchased the building in May 2000 and turned it into their country home. The school was built in 1925 of the same type of native Ellis County limestone that Grant's Villa and many of the churches and other school buildings in the area were made of. The land the school house was built on had been in the Baier family for years and years. Susan (Baier) Legleiter and her husband Ron currently own the Grant's Villa property and prior to that, Paul Baier owned the land and his dad and grandfather had owned the land surrounding the Grant's Villa, including the farm ground were the school was built. Prior to this limestone school building, there was a small wood frame school north of this location. The stone used in the construction came from a nearby quarry owned by the Baiers. Even though this was a public school (District #49) Catholic nuns taught at the school all the years it was open. Students from the surrounding farms attended here until 1969. After it was closed, it sat empty and was later leased as a storage facility for antique dealers.
On Mother's Day in 2000, the Austins saw an interesting ad in the Hays Daily News that listed the school for sale. They were still both teaching full time, but fell in love with the school and decided their project over the next several years would be to fix it up and turn it into the country home of their dreams. The main floor contained two large classrooms and has now become the kitchen, dining room and laundry room. Other classrooms were remodeled to be used as bedrooms. The lower level cafeteria and gymnasium was turned into a family room, guest room and bathroom. They wanted to keep as much of the original style as they could and that meant a mix of restoration and remodeling but keeping the tin covered ceilings and light fixtures. They even found use for the old blackboards and chalk trays.
Although the school is a private residence, visitors that drive by will certainly notice all of the improvements, landscaping and garden areas the Austins have added over the years. Each year when the Little Town of Bethlehem is on display at St. Boniface Church in Vincent, Pat Austin holds a Holiday Open House with a special Christmas tree decorated for each room. They welcome any visitors to the church to stop by and see the old school house. People who grew up in the Vincent area and attended school here love to come back and see the Christmas Nativity display and see the old school house. Many of the former students have provided interesting history about the building and other fascinating tidbits. In 1974, actress Jodi Foster was filmed at the Vincent School in several episodes for the television series Paper Moon. The television series was developed after the movie Paper Moon made its debut a year earlier. Ms. Foster was only 10 years old at the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Moon_(TV_series)
Big Creek
The creek that flows to the west and north of Vincent provided much for the early pioneers. Although Big Creek was not really that large of a creek, it did provide two main things the settlers needed when they first arrived – water and wood. Before wells could be dug, the water from the creek was vital for household use, mixed to prepare concrete building materials and used for the livestock. The trees provided lumber for building homes and for burning in stoves. In fact, back then it was uncommon to see any dead or fallen trees blocking up the creek bed because the property owners cut and gathered all the wood they could find along the creek to use on the farm. That is not the case today. As you drive along the roads near Big Creek, you will see fallen and decaying trees or branches that have floated down stream and created a blockage of piled up debris.
In the winter time, ice was harvested from Big Creek. When it became very cold and the stream froze solid one to three feet deep, large solid blocks of ice could cut out. The ice could be sawed in blocks 2' by 3' using a hand operated, big tooth ice saw. They were loaded on horse drawn wagons and hauled to the farm ice cellars. An ice cellar was a large hole in the ground about 12' long by 12' wide and 8' or 10' deep. These cellars had a wood roof built on top to protect them from the hot sun during the summer months. The cellars were walled on sides with limestone rocks and cement from lime and clay-type creek sand.
If the winters were too mild, then it was hard to get ice any thicker then 4-6". The larger the chunks of ice they could handle, the better – because then it took the ice longer to melt through the spring and early summer. The ice blocks were packed tight in the cellar and chipped ice was filled in between the blocks to form a good solid block. The ice was then covered with a thick layer of straw to keep it insulated and cold for months. During the summer then, quantities of ice blocks were removed to place them in the top of the wooden ice box in the home. Ice from the creek water was not as clean as ice purchased in town from and ice house. It was a treat to buy some ice in town so the family could have some clean ice to enjoy an ice cold glass of tea or lemonade.
Although the property where Big Creek winds through the valley is private farm ground, a drive along Grants Villa Road from Pfeifer Ave and north on Vincent Ave during October makes for a beautiful drive in the country.
George Grant Villa
2680 Grants Villa Road
Victoria, KS 67671
Hours: Guided tours available by appointment only.
Admission: Free
Originally a successful silk merchant, Grant came to America in 1872 in search of a place to build a country estate on which to retire. What he discovered was a new vision to turn the country into a major agricultural and livestock producing area. In the fall of 1872, Grant purchased an estimated 70,000 acres from the Kansas Pacific Railroad and then returned to England to organize a colony of British and Scotch noblemen. The group left England on April 1, 1873 with the necessary provisions, including several head of black polled Aberdeen Angus bulls, a red shorthorn bull, thirty sheep and some horses. Upon their return to the area, Grant named the new settlement after Queen Victoria, and he and his companions began construction on homes and town buildings.
Grant was the leader of the new colony and had specific stipulations as to what types of homes were to be built, livestock to invest in and the crops they should cultivate. The four black Angus bulls that were brought on the journey became the breeding stock to cross with native Texas longhorns. This produced calves that survived well on the winter range and weighed more the next spring.
Grant's hope for his country estate wasn't forgotten in all of this. He had an English architect design his Villa which he built five miles south and one and one-half mile east of Victoria. The two story home was constructed of native limestone that was quarried near the site and it was built atop a hill overlooking Big Creek. The home featured a large double door front entry way, open staircase, a study and wine cellar in the basement. The Villa became the center of social activities for the English colonists and was a comfortable residence for the Grant family during George's final years.
George became ill and died at the Villa on April 28, 1878. Margaret Grant, Grant's niece and housekeeper inherited the house and some of the estate. In October 1878 she married John Duncan, a farm hand. They had two sons, John and George and a daughter Margaret. Early in the spring of 1897, with the land under foreclosure, Mr. and Mrs. Moritz Baier purchased it from the Duncans. They lived at the home until their retirement in 1935 and then their son, William and his family lived at the Villa until 1972. Paul Baier, the son of William, resided at the home with his family for over 35 years until they moved to Hays.
The Villa was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Although there have been some updates made in the home, the original structure made of native limestone is still intact. Black Angus cattle even still roam the pasture land around the Villa. In the October of 2011, Susan (Baier) Legleiter and her husband Ron purchased the property from Paul and Lucy Baier. They purchased 40+ acres, which includes the house and farmstead with additional acres adjoining. Since acquiring the property, they have totally renovated the home and property. The structure of the home is original as it was built with native limestone.
Visitors are welcome to drive through the loop road past the house or contact Ron Legleiter for a pre-arranged guided tour. It is their hope to preserve the memory of George Grant and his contributions to the agricultural life of Western Kansas.

The Terlingua Red Recipe is an adaptation of my competition recipe - the one that won 8th place in 1994 and was on Finals Table (top 20) in 1997 at the Terlingua International Chili Championship. Terlingua is the "superbowl" of chili cook-offs where 350 of the top competition chili cooks compete every year.
A basic chili recipe is not complicated at all. The Terlingua Red spice blend is simply chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder and a little salt. Much of what makes a winning recipe is the care and attention given in the preparation. The following is my cooking technique when competing. If you want to make a good bowl of Terlingua Red, follow the directions on the box. If you want a bowl worthy of competition, try this one.
In addition to the spice blend you'll need: ...2 pounds of coarse ground beef (preferably 80% or 85% lean) or ..2 pounds of cubed chuck shoulder. Cut the chuck shoulder into 1 inch steaks, put the steaks into the freezer just long enough for them to become slightly frozen. Remove the steaks and cut them into cubes. (Putting the chuck shoulder steaks into the freezer firms them up enough to be able to cut the meat into perfect cubes.)
Now you are ready to go!
Brown the meat in your chili pot in the bacon grease. (The bacon grease lends a broader, richer flavor to the meat). While browning the meat sprinkle on a few shakes of McCormick season salt and Worchestershire sauce. Once the meat has been browned, pour off the fat and dispose of it. Put the meat back in the pot with either the chicken broth (optional ) or water to cover the meat in the pot. Boil the meat until it becomes tender.
If you are cooking the cubed chuck shoulder its best to boil the meat in the chicken broth. An enzyme in the chicken broth helps to tenderize the meat as well as adding flavor to the meat. You can add the pork chop in the pot while you are boiling the meat. The pork adds extra flavor.
Once the meat becomes tender, add beef broth and the can of tomato sauce and bring things back up to a boil. Now is the time to add the spice mix.
Thoroughly stir the spice blend into the meat and broth and adjust the flame for a very slow boil. Boil covered for approximately hour (longer for the cubed beef) - occasionally stirring. As the moisture evaporates and the gravy thickens you may add additional beef broth to suit your preference. You are striving for a thick rich gravy.
If you used the pork chop in your recipe, take it out of the pot once your chili is ready to serve. You will have a cooked pork chop with the chili spices cooked into it. Eat the pork chop. Its an added treat to reward you for your efforts.
Because Terlingua Red is a beef broth based chili you'll find that it is very tasty by itself. However, serving it on top of beans, spaghetti, or even frito corn chips enhances the enjoyment of the chili. Be sure to top it with cheese, onions, or even a little sour cream.
Enjoy! -Jim Parker
Mix meat and water together and bring to a boil. Mix in cup of spice mix (2oz. bag) once meat is thoroughly cooked. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, vinegar and onion. Mix thoroughly. Cook uncovered for 30mins to one hour at medium heat, stirring occasionally. Traditional Cincinnati chili has a soupy consistency. Cook beans (pink, kidney or pinto) in separate pot and combine when serving. (Beans are not included with spices). To be authentic, serve with oyster crackers in a side dish.
Empty package into cooking pot with tomato paste, tomato sauce, water and vinegar. Mix well. Combine remaining ingredients and cook over low flame for about two hours. Serves 8 to 10. Serve over beans and spaghetti topped with cheese and onions.

Jewish World Review Jan. 20, 2010 / 5 Shevat 5770 Tough Love the Only Long-Term Cure for Haiti By Jonah Goldberg
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
The images from Haiti are, if anything, only getting worse. What was left of an already fragile society is starting to break down, as violence and chaos take over. Despite the heroic efforts of aid workers and the battered Haitian government, it looks as if Haiti's problems will persist well into the 21st century, long after the debris is cleared and the houses are rebuilt.

Wouldn't it be great to have online meetings transcribed in real time?
NCTI has recently profiled the creator of CommuniClique, a simple and efficient communication and collaboration technology support. What's interesting? Teams can "hold meetings from their desktops face-to-face with audio and video, presenting all the communicative benefits of eye-contact, gestures, and voice intonation in real-time, as well as offering video quality that is robust enough for lip-reading." OK, but what else?
Well, here's where it gets interesting: It also offers closed-captioning. How? "The difference is we've structured our server farm to treat each person's voice as a separate channel. So we can actually take each person who is talking, separately and with no noise or overlap, take time stamps of when they say what, and transcribe each person's voice independently. Then we superimpose them back over each other just like you would see in an instant message transcript…A lot of our solutions aren't all that technically complex, they're just these, 'Why didn't I think of that' implementations'. We look for what makes sense, the simplest answer.' This was the case for the separate voice channel solution, which other companies had overlooked in trying to create transcription capability while attempting to solve logistical challenges with conversational overlap and confusion."

There are many apps that are available for reading e-books. Most feature a library of classic books. In addition the apps have the ability to change the size of the font. The Narrator app is the one application that I have found that will also read the text while highlighting. Currently three books are available (Call of the Wild, Anne of Green Gables, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit) with more promised by the creator.
I have also made use of the free Kindle app. This app allows you to purchase books through your Amazon Kindle account and have them available on your iTouch or iPhone. Surprisingly I found that reading a book on the iTouch was pleasurable and did not cause me any eye strain–and I have old eyes. Now I have a book available wherever I am: waiting in the doctor's office, waiting for my children, or while traveling.
Barrier Free
Often students with disabilities are prevented from participating in many key academic areas, most often Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Many teachers do not know how to provide accommodations in these areas or how to teach students outside the traditional means of instruction. Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access has a grant the National Science Foundation called Barrier Free Education. The goal of the Barrier-Free Education Project is to provide training and resources available to teachers anytime, anywhere. They have charts that include problems and solutions in all of the content areas.

Let's spend a minute and look at some plain old fun applications. I love to play and have found many applications that can satisfy my urge to waste a few minutes playing. Besides it's a great way to bond with my teenagers. Some of my current favorites: Touch Physics (2.99)–there is also a free version but I had to upgrade to the full version because I liked it so much. I could argue that you have to know simple machines and laws of physics to play this game so it is indirectly educational.
Another challenging game is Bloons ($.99). Try popping the balloons using a limited number of darts. Each level is more challenging. Let me know if you can get past level 35–I've been stuck there for weeks.
Of course you can always find the classic games like checkers and connect four for free. Happy gaming!

An Artist's Legacy
Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Meet Scooter
ur new to us,
basset hound puppy.
He is one, hard to photograph, critter
Always moving.
And wants to be where you are-
and right under your feet!
He stays still as long as you pet him,
like Seth is doing here.
The amazing thing about this photo is that Rebecca is eating popcorn and Scooter's nose is not in the bag! He is always hungry. The vet said that's the nature of the breed.
Always willing to eat!
Woo hoo! Life is good for our bi-color eyed dog (with matching blue and brown collar!).
Lucy, our St. Bernard, has her good days and bad days with Scooter.
He has a lot of energy and wants to play, but
she just wants to lie around the house.
Can you see the conflict of interests?

Let Them NOT Eat Cake!
think honey combed paper
is making a come back. So when I found this
vintage, paper cake centerpiece, in its
, factory sealed packaging, I didn't think twice about picking it up. It's for sale in my etsy shop,
Ruby Floy
, so you can have it for your next big event!

Asian Poste
needs a friend
like Emily Pruitt, who I know from the
Christian Paper Artists
(she doesn't have a blog, or I'd post her link).
She recently did some deep cleaning, but instead of merely throwing things out, she emailed me and offered to mail me the booty if I was interested. Are you KIDDING? When she mentioned the words, "Asian stuff", I immediately said "YES!"
he flat rate box
arrived today filled with everything from corporate holiday greeting cards (sumo wrestlers sent wishes for a Happy and Prosperous New Year)
to a newspaper filled with great layouts like the top photo I posted. There was even an
collage sheet of vintage
. Emily also thoughtfully included a bag of trinkety *bling* for Rebecca (not pictured). This afternoon Rebecca and I walked up to the Corder One Stop for a pack of Juicy Fruit Gum, my little shooper decked out in two twinkling bracelets and carrying her 23 cents in a roomy change purse with key chain attachment.
of my favorite
things in Emily's box were the pop up cards like this one. Perfect, needs-no -further-altering-art, for a pop up page in an altered book.
here was also
a catalog of mail order food gifts with gorgeous photos and page layouts. Wish I had some of the food wrappers pictured!
am not
into "cutes", but Chinese and Japanese cutes have a wonderful flat graphic quality that speaks to my designer soul.
hina elephants
and cartoon kids sending holiday greetings. I love how different the images are from American Christmas cards.
ne of several menus
displaying exotic dishes.
nd the kind of art
that once inspired the likes of
and Manet. I have been collecting Asian bits and pieces forever and not accumulating much, in the hopes of one day doing an Asian themed book. I think that day has come. And I've heard that I have more Asian stuff yet to come, from another source, so there will be more Asian eye candy in a future post.
Thank you, again, Emily!

My New Toy
NEVER been so excited about a new rubber stamp as today when I picked up my
"Ruby Floy" stamp from the printer!
Now I can remind my buyers where to come back for the good stuff
when they use it up a need more!
Monday, September 14, 2009
And the Winner Is....
, it's you!
If you are one of those who says, "I never win anything", you can't say it any more! Ha!
Thanks to all who posted and humored me by responding to my prompt question.
I learned a few things-- rust dying, must try it!
I'll be doing more giveaways in the future.
I have too much stuff and can't keep it ALL.
If you do happen to buy something from
my etsy shop
, I will add extra things.
Just because I like to do that sort of thing for friends, or future friends.
I don't know many strangers.

Open For Business
've always had a dream
to own a shop.
First an antique store.
And I did, for a little while, sell antique-y and cool stuff on ebay.
Lately though, I've wanted to sell my creations.
And stuff I collect for inspiration.
And the stuff I have too much of--
which my husband says can ALL go.
He's not a mean man.
He's just "had it up to here" living with
a Pack Rat.
(That would be Me.)
, to save my stuff from the threat of being unceremoniously
stuffed into Black Trashbags and hauled away,
I have opened an etsy shop.
uby Floy
is now open for business
My worst fear is selling out of stuff too quickly.
I hope I am not too optimistic.
Come in and browse!
Your purchase will surely
save something from the landfill.

Prince Felipe Museum of Science
This museum belongs to the City of Arts and Sciences complex. The building was designed by Santiago Calatrava and reminds a whale skeleton. This is one of those museums where forbidden NOT to touch. It is orientated to learning the sciences through experience, so everything is graphically displayed, with huge texts and pics, experiments, buttons to touch and experience... perfect to go with kids of 7-12 years!
The ground floor includes the "Science on Stage" and "TV Studio". On the first floor of the Museum the public can find interactive science exhibitions, where they can experiment with fun modules as "Exploratorium", "Furnishing the world, hand in hand with nature or "Children Space". The first floor which houses an artistic representation of DNA in the form of a sculpture 15 metres in height, the Foucault Pendulum, which at 34 metres is one of the longest in the world, and the climatic change, and exhibition that brings together a series of graphic panels, interactive modules, audiovisuals, and other objects that show visitors various aspects of the concept, the reasons for it, historical data, its consequences, etc.
The second floor is devoted to the exhibition "The Legacy of Science". A chronological sequence based on audiovisual material reveals the life and evolution of the research of three outstanding Nobel prize winners: Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Severo Ochoa y Jean Dausset. On the third floor of the Museum the public can explore the impressive "Chromosome Forest", with over 2,600 square metres devoted to the biggest milestone in modern science: the sequencing of human DNA. There is a large-scale reproduction of the 23 pairs of chromosomes of the human species. Other interactive exhibitions on this floor also include the "Zero Gravity", created jointly with the European Space Agency, the "Space Academy", an interactive module that reproduces by means of the simulation of movement three stages in the preparation of the space launch to the International Space Station, o Science and Sport with Valencia CF.

LAGOS, Nigeria – French oil firm Total SA says it has sold a stake in an offshore oil field in Nigeria for $2.5 billion to Chinese state oil company Sinopec Corp.
Total made the announcement Monday in a statement posted to its corporate website. Sinopec officials were not immediately available for comment.
Officials with Total have said they plan to sell off some stakes in oil fields around the world to raise cash for new ventures.
Total said the deal, done for cash, must be approved by Nigerian authorities.
The state-run Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. is the concession holder on the field. Other partners include Chevron Corp, Esso E&P Nigeria Ltd. and Nexen Petroleum Nigeria Ltd.
China has been interested in expanding its oil holdings in Nigeria for some time.

Some of my fav subs of all time!
Regret selling my 15 :(
willing to negotiate
What is the impedance on these?
dual 2
I still have these mint classics, I know they're expensive, I know, but if these were in your trunk, you'd be apart of an elite group
these would certainly do some damage from the trunk or a cargo area.
Yes Sir, amazing strong bass! These are the deepest, hardest hitting 12"s I've ever heard. They're like having 18"s (Ripley's Believe it or Not)

Mandy's Daughter Donated a few weeks back. This was her daughters plan since she felt it was very near and dear to her heart. There is a girl at her school who suffers from Alopecia and her cousin's best friend died of cancer last year. This was important for her to accomplish.Laura and her cute girls (7 yrs. and 5 yrs.) donated back on November 10th! ((see how far behind I am.) She had a problem when they cut the hair of her five year old finding some natural curl. I hope she is getting used to that. Sorry I didn't have more advice.
5 comments:
If they ever donate hair again in the future, they should do it through a different group. Locks of Love isn't the charity it claims to be, and makes money of the vast majority of hair donated to them. Very little of it is made into wigs, and few of those wigs are given away free. Even fewer are given to cancer patients. Pantene has a hair donation program that is more reliable as a charity.

I promise it was not hard!
The entertainment center is from Ikea.
The floors are vinyl, we spent an entire weekend installing them, talk about squat work!

Read about painting and glazing the buffet here. The picture frame was Hobby Lobby years ago, the top needs some pretty stuff, after Christmas things seem a little sparse, not sure why.
Good thing I'm hitting Canton this weekend!
Frame is Ikea and lamp was Home Goods.
Jeweled Vase was a Canton buy I just HAD to have :)
This corner ended up empty after I took my tree down, it's bugging me. I need to find something fab to put there!
The mirror was Hobby Lobby and the picture was painted by my talented Mother :)
Curtains are Target and the angel wings are from Decor Steals.
Rug is from RugsUsa.
Coffee Table I found in the trash on one of my runs, so I ran home got the truck, hauled it home, and finished my run :) Totally normal behavior.
Basket was HomeGoods.
Pillows are from Sam's Club {white}, the others were a gift {turquoise ones}, and the big ones are from Laurie Annes in Canton.
Happy Thursday! I promise I'm working on emailing everyone back!

Senate Bill 2257: Authorizes the Youth Court to Remove At-Risk Children from Potentially Harmful Environments
Senator HopsonSummary:
This bill would create a pilot program authorizing the youth court to remove at-risk children from a homeschool environment that is abusive, neglectful, or contributes to the delinquency of the child. State law already provides for such removal by the Department of Human Services. This pilot program would be a duplication of services and an unnecessary expense to taxpayers.

Album Summary
- Raphael Haeger (Percussion)
- Simon Rossler (Percussion)
- Franz Schindlbeck (Percussion)
- Jan Schlichte (Percussion)
- Wieland Welzel (Percussion)
Notes & Reviews:
This recording is from a charity concert dedicated to the victims of the Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster in Japan on March 11, 2011. The profit generated from sales of this album will be donated to a special section of the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS), which was especially founded for these victims and will therefore be distributed directly among the population affected. This is Sado's Berlin Philharmonic debut. He is the first Japanese person to conduct the renowned orchestra since Seiji Ozawa several years ago. Critics have unanimously hailed him one of the most enthralling and charismatic conductors of the new generation. Sado was a longtime assistant of both Bernstein and Ozawa.
Yutaka Sado is confident enough to carve the space up like a dislocating procession: tinkling percussive charms fade back into the silence that birthed them, held in place by freewheeling logic.
The percussionists... wear the colours of the Tibetan flag, and talking of landmark moments, pull ribbons that shake wind chimes suspended from the ceiling... windows of structural solidity are mirages inside music that otherwise keeps you alert and listening precisely... the ardent power of the slow movement rhymes nicely with a suitably stony-faced finale.
BBC Music Magazine
[Sado] digs unostentatiously deep in both the fluid and monumental aspects of this concert, given to raise funds for the Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster. Much in the two chosen works is both complementary and appropriate...A short interview with Sado tells us little; but what he achieves in performance is unquestionably beyond words.
Gramophone Magazine
I like Takemitsu best when there's rigorous tension put between his soft-focus, stylised figurations...Here the balance is perfect...After Takemitsu, Shostakovich's urgent 'listen to this' message, each harmonic sidestep loaded with interference, is a shock. I like the dynamic detail Sado lavishes on the first movement...And another sound reason to buy this DVD: all proceeds will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross to help victims of the 2011 tsunami.

Well this is very strange. I found this wonderful background paper on a blog. The challenge was to use it in a project. Great I thought, just the colours I have been using. Now can I find that blog again to let them know what I have made?You guessed it. NO! if anyone recognizes the background paper please let me know. The challenge deadline has well gone but it would be funny to let them know.

Ian Curtis in Berlin
This is what I pay my license fee for. 6Music has an audio tour of Ian Curtis's favourite hangouts in Berlin.
This is what I pay my license fee for. 6Music has an audio tour of Ian Curtis's favourite hangouts in Berlin.
Just happened upon a fascinating audio archive of Richard Sennet, the great sociologist and author of The Fall of Public Man, which I've been teaching recently.
Here he talks with Laurie Lee (and Iain Sinclair and Sophie Watson of the OU) about cites and how they relate to the past. Gingerly in Berlin, brazenly in New York.
Here he speaks more generally about cities, with Will Self and Doreen Massey.
Thanks to my old friend Sami Haapavaara (himself Porvoo's answer to William Eggleston) for directing me towards the work of Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov. I like his work a lot. His basic premise is simple enough: artist travels to various European cities – Berlin, Vienna, Leningrad – and revisits the precise locations of old war photographs and then reshoots the image from the same spot. The results, once merged, are as beautiful as they are haunting.
The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. So far nothing has beaten the New York Times's excellent interactive feature on the route of the Berliner Mauer (thanks Chris). The way you can slide between the images of then and now is one of the most inspired uses of interactivity I think I've ever seen on a newspaper website. It is distinctive because it has an almost Victorian slowness to it, like the kind of end-of-the-pier attraction you only ever come across in museums, these days.
Other coverage of note (I'll hopefully add more later): Jana Scholze, writing in Icon Magazine, on the final demolition of another symbol of post-war Berlin. The Palast Der Republik (above) doubled as the DDR's parliament building and, I kid you not, a discotheque.
"The "Palace of the Republic" was somehow the anti-symbol of the socialist reality while at the same time representing the ideals and visions of its people. The modernist glass and steel box by architect Heinz Graffunder seemed to represent a young country confidently looking into its future. True to its name, it was a house for the people. Its open doors and easy accessibility signified the intended audience: everyone, the whole republic. It was a place to go, to meet, to spend time. Not surprisingly, many visitors to the Palast seemed unaware of its main function: it was the seat of the DDR's parliament."
Also worth looking at is Timothy Garton Ash, writing in the Guardian, on the precise moment the cold war ended:
The first frontier crossing to be opened was at Bornholmerstrasse, on a bridge that goes over the S-Bahn, the overground city railway. My friend Werner Krätschell, a pastor of the East German protestant church which did much to shelter the East German opposition, was among the early ones to come across. It was soon after 11pm. The frontier guards put a stamp in his ID card, across his photograph. He checked with them that he could come back.
No, they replied, that stamp means you are emigrating permanently. He had left two young children at home, so he tried to turn round his car, to go back. But just as he was trying to turn round, in the narrow frontier crossing leading on to the bridge, a frontier soldier came running up and shouted to his colleague: "Comrade, a new order! They can come back." So Werner drove on into the west.

There's an inspired post over at Berlin's Click Opera about the "Berlinification" of cities around the world. The post cites the UK government's emergency measures to distribute thousands of grants to people who find creative uses for vacant shops as evidence of this emerging trend. Such a move – if successful – they argue should create a creative flourishing or the arts and culture, as happened to Berlin after the fall of the wall:
"Since it's a global recession, I also like to think Berlin has now become a sort of template for cities all over the world. Whereas we might once have looked like a museum of crusty subcultures past their sell-by date, this city now looks like the future of Tokyo, the future of London, and the future of New York. We're your best-case scenario, guys, your optimal recessionary outcome. Everything else is dystopia, Escape-From-New-York stuff."

The gentrification of east Berlin is now in full swing pricing out the bohemians that made the quarters of the "new east" so unique. As a result Kreuzberg, the eastern district of the former west Berlin, is thriving. This once Turkish enclave is now as trendy as Mitte and Prenzlaurberg where a decade ago. I've just returned from there and I loved it. My friend Daniel West showed my the area around Oranienstrasse. We ate schwarmas at the excellent Maroush (above left) which were the best I've tasted outside the middle east; sipped cocktails at San Remo Upfamor (above right) and downed a few glasses of the local pilsner at Luzia, a converted Butcher's shop, where to my delight they actually played some old Iggy Pop.
Both Iggy Pop and David Bowie both frequented Kreuzberg in the late seventies, often to attend the legendary club SO36, which remains open. Today the area east of Moritzplatz, down towards Kottbusser Tor is redolent of those heady days. Artful graffiti sits alongside designer shops and surviving examples of the district's working class roots. There's also a palpable lack of anything too corporate (aside from a branch of Spa) and an admirable collection of old fishmongers, button stores and a delightful shop selling objects made by the blind: all wooden cabinets and baskets and brushes.
Kreuzburg remains a place of punks and graffiti and politicalisation (I saw handbills enblazened with signs shouting Stop Gentrification!) and it's also home to many communities of gays and Turks – trendies and crusties – thinkers and drinkers. A great big mix of everything that makes Berlin such a great city in my opinion.
very interesting picture.. were i can find more?
Templehof International Airport, site of the Berlin airlift and arguably the most classically beautiful airport (despite its dark origins) in the world is set to close this October. I for one will be a little sad as, although UK flights haven't flown there for some time, it was one of the places i used to fly into when i started travelling to Berlin. Although tainted by the Nazis, and used to be a Zeppelin station, Templehof always for me spoke of the 50s. It was also small, under-commercialised and fantastically located, just south of Kreuzberg. It also didnt' have the usual style gates that stick out like spokes, just one sweeping curve that opened onto the runway, in the way you imagine airports to be in your dreams
Berlin, wrote Alexandra Richie, changes identities like a snake sloughing its skin. So a renaissance in the western half of the city seems only inevitable, after almost two decades of focus on the east. The last few months has seen the re-opening of Hotel Ellington (which served the Bauhaus, Isherwood, jazz age hipsters, then the post-war cronners and GIs and then krautrock renegades Bowie and Iggy Pop before falling into disrepair) … now Gridskipper turns its hyperactive attention towards the long overlooked forgotton wards of the west. It reads: "lifeboats of literati are once again dropping anchor in Wilmersdorf's sleepy harbor. Their return has inspired a fresh wave of mouthwatering eateries and breathed new life into the old standards."
The New York Times agrees: It recently wrote: "Partly as a backlash against the over-hyped East, West Berlin's glamour is slowly returning, in the form of new galleries and revitalized Bowie-era restaurants and hotels."

Official Title: | Syringe or Continuous Amnioreduction for Symptomatic Polyhydramnios. A Prospective Randomized Study. |
- maternal pain (Analogic visual scale)
- Volume of amniotic fluid drained, duration of the drainage, uterine activity,frequency of significative alterations of FHR and histologic evidence of placental abruption.
Estimated Enrollment: | 80 |
Study Start Date: | January 2002 |
Study Completion Date: | February 2005 |
Polyhydramnios is defined as more than 2 liters of amniotic fluid. Ultrasound diagnosis is made either by measurement of a deepest vertical pocket exceeding 8 cm, or by use of an amniotic fluid index (AFI) exceeding 25 cm. Potential complications of polyhydramnios are preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes, altered utero-placental perfusion, and maternal discomfort.
Amniodrainage has become an established technique to improve maternal comfort and reduce the risks of severe polyhydramnios in both singleton and twin pregnancies, decreasing uterine contractility, as well as over-stretching of membranes and uterus. It also acts on the pathological processes of twin to twin transfusion syndrome.
Several techniques are used to reduce symptomatic polyhydramnios. Passive gravitational drainage is long, does not allow to evacuate larger amounts of amniotic fluid and continuous maternal and fetal monitoring is difficult. The standard syringe technique is often a source of discomfort for both the patient and the operator. Continuous aspiration is faster and limits patient's discomfort.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency and maternal and fetal tolerance of these two latter techniques of amnioreduction.
A preliminary study permitted to assess the depression value created at the tip of the needle during amniodrainage: the syringe aspiration technique showed large depression variations from 0 to – 300 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The continuous wall suction was thus chosen to be set to – 250 mmHg: depression at the needle's tip didn't vary during the procedure.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 40 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant women with abdomen discumfort and ultrasound diagnosis of polyhydramnios (AFI>25cm)
- Single or twin pregnancies
Exclusion Criteria:
- Multiple pregnancy (more than 3 fetuses)
- Maternal history of placental abruptio
- Fetus with IUGR
- Pregnancy complicated with pre-eclampsia

1 Samuel - Chapter 20
1 Samuel Chapters
1 Fleeing from the huts at Ramah, David went and confronted Jonathan, 'What have I done, what is my guilt, how have I wronged your father, for him to want to take my life?'
2 He replied, 'You must not think that! You are not going to die. My father, you see, does nothing, important or unimportant, without confiding in me, so why should my father hide this from me? It is not true.'
3 In reply, David swore, 'Your father knows very well that I enjoy your favour, and thinks, "Jonathan must not know about this or he will be upset." But, as Yahweh lives and as you yourself live, there is only a step between me and death.'
4 At which, Jonathan said to David, 'Whatever you think best, I will certainly do for you.'
5 David replied, 'Look, tomorrow is New Moon and I ought to sit at table with the king, but you must let me go and hide in the countryside until the evening.
6 If your father notices my absence, you must say, "David insistently asked me for permission to hurry over to Bethlehem, his home town, because they are holding the annual sacrifice there for the whole clan."
7 If he says, "Very well," your servant is safe, but if he flies into a rage, you may be sure that he has some evil plan.
8 Show your servant faithful love, since you have bound your servant to you by a pact in Yahweh's name. But if I am guilty, then kill me yourself -- why take me to your father?'
9 Jonathan replied, 'Perish the thought! If I knew for sure that my father was determined to do you a mischief, would I not have told you?'
10 David then said to Jonathan, 'Who will let me know if your father gives you a harsh answer?'
11 Jonathan then said to David, 'Come on, let us go out into the country,' and the pair of them went out into the country.
12 Jonathan then said to David, 'By Yahweh, God of Israel! I shall sound my father this time tomorrow; if all is well for David and I do not then send and inform you,
13 may Yahweh bring unnameable ills to Jonathan and worse ones too! If my father intends to do you a mischief, I shall tell you so and let you get away, so that you can be safe. And may Yahweh be with you as he used to be with my father!
14 If I am still alive, show your servant faithful love; if I die,
15 never withdraw your faithful love from my family. When Yahweh has exterminated every enemy of David's from the face of the earth,
16 do not let Jonathan's name be exterminated with Saul's family, or may Yahweh call David to account!'
17 Jonathan then renewed his oath to David, since he loved him like his very soul.
18 Jonathan then said to David, 'Tomorrow is New Moon; your absence will be noticed, since your place will be empty.
19 The day after tomorrow your absence will be very marked, and you must go to the place where you hid on the day of the deed, and stay beside that mound.
20 For my part, the day after tomorrow I shall shoot three arrows in that direction, as though at a target.
21 I shall then send a servant to go and find the arrows. If I say to him, "The arrows are this side of you, get them," come out, since all will be well for you and nothing the matter, as sure as Yahweh lives.
22 But if I say to him, "The arrows are ahead of you," then be off, for Yahweh himself will be sending you away.
23 And as regards the agreement we made, you and I, why, Yahweh is witness between us for ever.'
24 So David hid in the country; New Moon came and the king sat down to his meal.
25 He sat in his usual place with his back to the wall, Jonathan sat facing him and Abner sat next to Saul; but David's place was empty.
26 Saul said nothing that day, thinking, 'It is sheer chance; he is unclean.'
27 On the day after New Moon, the second day, David's place was still empty.
28 Saul said to his son Jonathan, 'Why did not the son of Jesse come to the meal either yesterday or today?'
29 Jonathan answered Saul, 'David insistently asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem. "Please let me go," he said, "for we are holding the clan sacrifice in the town and my brothers have ordered me to attend. So now, if I enjoy your favour, let me get away and see my brothers." That is why he has not come to the king's table.'
30 Saul flew into a rage with Jonathan and said, 'Son of a rebellious slut! Don't I know that you side with the son of Jesse to your own shame and your mother's dishonour?
31 As long as the son of Jesse lives on earth, neither you nor your royal rights are secure. Now have him fetched and brought to me; he deserves to die.'
32 Jonathan retorted to his father Saul, 'Why should he die? What has he done?'
33 But Saul brandished his spear at him to strike him, and Jonathan realised that his father was determined that David should die.
34 Hot with anger, Jonathan got up from the table and ate nothing on the second day of the month, being upset about David -- and because his father had insulted him.
35 Next morning, Jonathan went out into the country at the time agreed with David, taking a young servant with him.
36 He said to his servant, 'Run and find the arrows which I am going to shoot,' and the servant ran while Jonathan shot an arrow ahead of him.
37 When the servant reached the spot to which Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan shouted after him, 'Is not the arrow ahead of you?'
38 Again Jonathan shouted after the servant, 'Quick! Hurry, do not stand around.' Jonathan's servant picked up the arrow and brought it back to his master.
39 The servant suspected nothing; only Jonathan and David knew what was meant.
40 Jonathan then gave his weapons to his servant and said, 'Go and carry them to the town.'
41 As soon as the servant had gone, David stood up beside the mound, threw himself to the ground, prostrating himself three times. They then embraced each other, both weeping copiously.
42 Jonathan then said to David, 'Go in peace. And as regards the oath that both of us have sworn by the name of Yahweh, may Yahweh be witness between you and me, between your descendants and mine for ever.'

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

This is my absolute favorite car and I don't even own it.
I've always had a soft spot for VW Bug's. I prefer the original (since that was what I once owned), but new one has a little corner of my heart as well.
I was out and about doing errands when I laid eyes on this little gem. The paint job was what first grabbed my attention, bright yellow with a jagged stripe. Coupled with the distinctive domed shape of a Volksie, the first thing that sprang to mind was Charlie Brown.
When I stepped out of my car to snap a few pictures I took a gander at the plate. I nearly fell down laughing, it very cleverly spelled out GOOD GRF. The little capper being the Scenic Autumn plate.
I have found Charlie Brown's car and it's sweet ride.
