Kalish: "It's been such a long process" (5.26.12)
Signed with Chicago (NL) (Dec. 2013)Scouting Report:
Excellent athlete with a solid build, good bat speed, and lots of
quickness. Plays the game at full tilt. The organization has worked with
Kalish on his plate patience, and over time he has come to demonstrate an
excellent approach at the plate. Average to above-average present power,
has potential to add more. Makes solid contact and hits to all fields.
Above-average speed. Steals a lot of bases due to his quick acceleration
and high intelligence on the basepaths. In the field, he has a reliable
glove, excellent range, an average arm, and average accuracy. Tough
competitor with a mature demeanor. Kalish tends to be a very popular
player with coaches, teammates, and fans. Plays all three outfield
positions. Likely projects as a corner outfielder at the major league
level, but should be able to cover spot duty in center field. Missed

PEUGEOT Introduces 5 Year Warranty
PEUGEOT Australia has introduced a five-year, unlimited kilometre* warranty with five-year roadside assist for all PEUGEOT passenger vehicles.
The new warranty* will commence immediately, be retrospectively applied to any MY18 vehicles already sold and be completely transferable between owners for the duration of the warranty.
Managing Director of PEUGEOT Australia, Anouk Poelmann said that the new warranty gives Australian's confidence in purchasing a PEUGEOT and reinforces the commitment both PEUGEOT Australia and Groupe PSA in France have for the Australian market.
"When PEUGEOT arrived in Australia – almost 80 years ago, reliability and durability was the key to the brand's early success and today that focus has not changed," said Poelmann.
"From design to engineering and manufacture, efforts at all levels of the business have focused on quality, durability and reliability – and this new five-year warranty underscores our confidence in the new-generation of PEUGEOT product.
"PEUGEOT is one of the oldest and most storied marques in Australia and we at PEUGEOT Australia and Groupe PSA are determined to make the next chapter one full of confidence and growth," said Poelmann.
The program will bring together warranty, roadside assist and servicing plans under the PEUGEOT PRESTIGE™ banner.
For further information outlining PSA's focus on quality, visit https://www.groupe-psa.com/en/automotive-group/quality/
*5 year / unlimited km warranty applied from date of first registration. The first 3 years/100,000km of warranty is underwritten by Groupe PSA with balance of 2 years underwritten by PEUGEOT Australia. Offer valid for all MY18 vehicles.


text: For those of us who have met Smitty & Co. they are a great family. They also have placed many great caches in the Central Maine area as well and I am proud to say they are mostly quality caches as well that will bring you to many unknown places. I think that we all have been in a situation where at one time or another we couldn't get to do proper cache maintenance. In their instance they are in the process of building a home and they can't devote any time to caching. Hopefully they can return to it in due time but as for now all of their caches are disabled. I will like to extend an invitation to all cachers out there who may have some time to maybe check on these if there is a maintenance issue that is posted in the cache page. That way they can keep them and cachers can still get the chance to visit some of these great places. I haven't been able to get in touch with them so I am sticking my neck out in posting this but hopefully we can all help out with this situation. If I am wrong about this please let me know.

It's been almost a year now since I launched my own website. Before that I was on Etsy, and though I LOVE Etsy it does have some limitations. A year later and my website is still running smoothly and going strong, however I'm missing the flexibility that Etsy offers for limited quantity products. Anyways, a roundabout way of saying that I have re-launched my Etsy site to feature all kinds of wonderful One of a Kind skeins of yarn.
I've got several boxes of yarns that I selfishly stash away for my own personal use. Chris and I both love to take a day off once in a while from dying our permanent collection colourways and experiment with new ones. Sometimes they work out perfectly and fit into my grand plan for the collection and are added to the repertoire. Other times they are lovely and perfect but just don't quite fit in to the TFA scheme. These are the precious skeins that I hoard away. Sometimes I give one or two to my mom or sister, but most of them I end of saving for myself! I have so many and there is no possible way that I could knit them all, so I've decided it's time to share. That's where the Etsy site comes in. I'll post One of a Kind colourways as I make them in very limited quantities, batches of one, two or three skeins, mostly in sock yarn because that's what I experiment with the most, and hopefully there will be some TFA fans out there who like the thrill of knitting with yarn that is absolutely One of a Kind!
I've also listed the Kits on the Etsy site, because kits are fun! I will also be adding rovings and other yarn bases as I dye them. I'm really looking forward to having the freedom to be as creative as I want to be! Crazy yarns, subtle yarns, whatever I feel like. No rules, just pretty yarns.
So, that brings us to the part in the post that you've all been waiting for... the GIVEAWAY! I'll be giving away one skein of this lovely green, yellow, brown yarn called Spring to one lucky commenter. To enter, simply leave a comment telling me your favorite colour and be sure to include your e-mail address so I can get ahold of you should you win. I will announce a winner next Saturday. Good luck!

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star! A Celestial Second Birthday Party
"I figured this would be the last year I could call the shots on my son's birthday-party theme," says event-design expert Shannon Wellington of Bottle Pop Party Company of her son Gabriel's second birthday bash. "Even though he's growing up so fast, I knew I wanted a sweet theme that was still a bit babyish. His first and favorite song has been 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,' so I knew that was the way to go." Twinkle lights, clouds, and tons of star-shaped sweets and decorations, including an awesome Star Bar, turned this simple starting point into a sensational party.

Remember Anna Chapman? No? … Anybody?
Remember Anna Chapman? No? … Anybody?
Trump's war on the economy continues
President Trump asserted on Saturday that he has the authority to make good on his threat to force all American businesses to leave China, citing a national security law that has been used mainly to target terrorists, drug traffickers and pariah states like Iran, Syria and North Korea.
As he arrived in France for the annual meeting of the Group of 7 powers, Mr. Trump posted a message on Twitter citing the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 — a law meant to enable a president to isolate criminal regimes but not intended to be used to cut off economic ties with a major trading partner because of a disagreement over tariffs.
"For all of the Fake News Reporters that don't have a clue as to what the law is relative to Presidential powers, China, etc., try looking at the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977," Mr. Trump wrote. "Case closed!" …
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act says that if the president decides that circumstances abroad have created "any unusual and extraordinary threat" to "the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States," the president can declare a "national emergency." This triggers special authority for the leader to regulate "any transactions in foreign exchange" by Americans.
When Biden's stream of consciousness takes a dark turn
"None of you . . . women are old enough — but a couple of you guys are old enough," he said during a town hall at Dartmouth College. "I graduated in 1968. Everybody before me was, 'Drop out, go to Haight-Ashbury, don't trust anybody over 30, everybody not get involved.' No, I'm serious. I know no woman will shake her head and acknowledge it. But you guys know what I'm talking about. Right? But then what happened?"
The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination referenced the assassinations of two of his political heroes, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy — who was killed while running for president.
"Imagine what would have happened if, God forbid, if Barack Obama had been assassinated after becoming the de facto nominee," he continued. "What would have happened in America?"
The comment — which, as Biden's campaign pointed out with a video, came on the 11th anniversary of Obama naming Biden as his running mate — then led to him speaking about the 1970 shootings of demonstrators at Kent State University, and a new era of activism.
In case you were feeling too optimistic about Democrats' chances of thwarting Trump's agenda
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has just completed three weeks of radiation treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, the U.S. Supreme Court disclosed Friday.
The radiation therapy, conducted on an outpatient basis, began Aug. 5, shortly after a localized cancerous tumor was discovered on Ginsburg's pancreas. The treatment included the insertion of a stent in Ginsburg's bile duct, according to a statement issued by the court.
Doctors at Sloan Kettering said further tests showed no evidence of disease elsewhere in the body. The treatment comes just months after Ginsburg was operated on for lung cancer last December. The 86-year-old justice has battled cancer in various forms over the last 20 years.
Bolsonaro may face some serious consequences for his heedless environmental policies
European leaders have reacted with growing fear and anger to the fires ravaging Brazil's rain forest, calling it a worldwide crisis that is accelerating global warming — and one that Brazil's leader appears unwilling to combat.
President Emmanuel Macron of France went so far, on Friday, as to accuse President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil of lying about being committed to fighting climate change and protecting the Amazon forest.
As a result, Mr. Macron said, he would try to kill a major trade deal between Europe and South America that has been years in the making.
Trump sends Dow plunging with this nonsense
Our Country has lost, stupidly, Trillions of Dollars with China over many years. They have stolen our Intellectual Property at a rate of Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year, & they want to continue. I won't let that happen! We don't need China and, frankly, would be far….
….better off without them. The vast amounts of money made and stolen by China from the United States, year after year, for decades, will and must STOP. Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing..
….your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. I will be responding to China's Tariffs this afternoon. This is a GREAT opportunity for the United States. Also, I am ordering all carriers, including Fed Ex, Amazon, UPS and the Post Office, to SEARCH FOR & REFUSE,….
….all deliveries of Fentanyl from China (or anywhere else!). Fentanyl kills 100,000 Americans a year. President Xi said this would stop - it didn't. Our Economy, because of our gains in the last 2 1/2 years, is MUCH larger than that of China. We will keep it that way!
Trump asking the tough, wrongly spelled questions
Seth, we hardly knew ye
Representative Seth Moulton of Massachusetts is dropping out of the presidential race, ending a candidacy that emphasized Mr. Moulton's centrist politics and military service but gained no traction with Democratic primary voters.
Mr. Moulton, 40, said in an interview that he had no immediate plans to endorse another candidate, but he warmly praised former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Mr. Moulton planned to announce the end of his campaign in a formal speech before the Democratic National Committee on Friday.
Mr. Moulton suggested that most of the other Democratic candidates were also laboring in vain at this point, with only a tiny few — Mr. Biden and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders — remaining as real competitors for the nomination. He warned in the interview that if Democrats were to embrace an overly liberal platform, it could make it harder for the party to defeat President Trump.
China shows again that it's willing to fight fire with fire on tariffs
China on Friday announced tariff hikes on $75 billion of U.S. products in retaliation for President Donald Trump's planned increase, deepening a trade war that threatens to tip the global economy into recession.
The tariffs of 10% and 5% take effect on two batches of goods on Sept. 1 and Dec. 15, the official Xinhua News Agency said. It gave no details of what goods would be affected but the timing matches Trump's planned duty hikes.
One of the Koch brothers has died at 79
David Koch, billionaire conservative activist and philanthropist, has died. He was 79.
He and his brother, Charles, co-owned Koch Industries, a Nebraska-based energy and chemical company, since 1983. David stepped down from running the Koch organization last year due to declining health.
Things are going about as expected since the U.S. withdrew from the INF treaty
The Pentagon said on Monday it had tested a conventionally-configured cruise missile that hit its target after more than 500 km (310 miles) of flight, its first such test since the demise of a landmark nuclear pact this month.
Washington formally withdrew from the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) on Aug. 2 after accusing Moscow of violating it, a charge dismissed by the Kremlin.
The pact had prohibited land-based missiles with a range of 310-3,400 miles, reducing the ability of both countries to launch a nuclear strike at short notice.
Putin told his Security Council on Friday that Russia could not stand idly by, and that U.S. talk of deploying new missiles in the Asia-Pacific region "affects our core interests as it is close to Russia's borders".
Pompeo gets one of North Korea's always colorful nicknames
North Korea's top diplomat said on Friday that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was a "diehard toxin" who only complicates denuclearisation talks and North Korea was ready for both dialogue and standoff.
Buttigieg's new plan for addressing addiction and mental health issues
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Friday unveiled a $100 billion plan to expand access to mental health and addiction treatment that coincided with a campaign stop in Manchester, New Hampshire — a state hit hard by the opioid crisis.
The wide-ranging plan calls for integrating treatment into primary care settings, increasing the number of available treatment beds, making it easier for patients to get access to medication for opioid addiction, investing in suicide prevention for veterans and addressing disparities in behavioral health care.
"For years, politicians in Washington have claimed to prioritize mental health care while slashing funding for treatment and ignoring America's growing addiction and mental health crisis," Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., said in a statement. "That neglect must end. Our plan breaks down the barriers around mental health and builds up a sense of belonging that will help millions of suffering Americans heal."

This update reflects Monday's gas prices.
Since June, gasoline prices have climbed more or less steadily and are now 35 cents per gallon higher than they were a year ago. According to AAA's daily fuel gauge report, which measures gas prices around the country, gas prices have hit daily record highs at least once in each of the past six weeks. In Michigan and Ohio, prices rose by 50 cents per gallon in the past year. As of Monday, there are seven separate states with gas prices above $4 per gallon.
While the price at the pump has risen in every state compared to a year ago, in some states the price of gas has increased at a much slower rate, and many are much closer to $3.50 than to $4 per gallon, well below the national average price. In 10 states the average price of a gallon of gas is $3.60 or less — 22 cents less than the national average of $3.82 per gallon.
24/7 Wall St. reviewed gas prices across all states. We found that one of the most important factors that determined price was a state's geographic location. Being near refining capacity helps cut out the costs of transporting the gas. As a result, most of the states with low gas prices are located on or near the Gulf of Mexico, where the vast majority of the nation's oil harvesting and refining takes place. Four of the five states that touch the Gulf of Mexico are among the 10 with the lowest gas prices in the country. Three more states on this list — Arkansas, Tennessee and Georgia — are immediately adjacent to one of the Gulf states.
Gasoline taxes are another important issue that affects gas prices. Of the 10 states with the lowest prices, eight have among the 15 lowest taxes per gallon of gas. But the relationship between gas taxes and cost is far from perfect. Alaska has the lowest gas taxes at just eight cents per gallon but the second-highest gas prices. Four of the five states with the lowest gas taxes, including Alaska, are not among the 10 with the least expensive gas.
While national gas prices rose over the past year, they fell by 5 cents per gallon in the past month. The states on our list have been the driving force in that decline. Gas prices dropped in 23 states compared to a month ago. Gas prices in all 10 states with the cheapest gas price have fallen, including Georgia, where the cost per gallon is down by 24 cents.
Based on AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge report, 24/7 Wall St. identified the states with the least expensive average price of a gallon of unleaded gasoline as of Monday. AAA also provided the change in average fuel prices by state one week, one month and one year ago. 24/7 Wall St. also examined the number of refineries and total refining capacity as of Jan. 1, 2012, provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. From the American Petroleum Institute, we obtained state gas taxes, which were also as of the beginning of this year. This includes state gas excise taxes, as well as other taxes (including sales tax). 24/7 Wall St. also obtained the relative overall cost of living, and the cost of paying for transportation, from The Missouri Economic Research and Information Center for the second quarter of 2012.
These are the 10 states with the cheapest gas.
10. Virginia
- Regular gas price per gallon: $3.60
- Tax per gallon: 20.1 cents (13th lowest)
- Number of operating refineries: 0
In the second quarter of 2012, the relative cost of transportation in Virginia was among the country's lowest. Low gas prices are likely one reason for this. Virginia is also one of the wealthiest states in the country, with a median household income of $61,882 as of last year. Currently, Virginia charges 20.1 cents per gallon in total taxes and fees — more than 10 cents per gallon below the national average and inline with other states where gas is inexpensive.

Yes, the dysfunctional Queen County Republican Party, which despite its constant infighting and seemingly meaningless power struggles manages to get candidates elected in a city where they are drastically outnumbered by Democratic voters, has found a new way to top – or lower - even themselves.
In case you're just arriving to the Party, for years there has been an internal power struggle among GOP members in the borough. In one camp, you have Phil Ragusa, who has been chair of the party for years. In the other camp, you have Bart and John Haggerty, brothers who have been trying to wrest control from Ragusa and his supporters.
(Incidentally, the later Haggerty brother is currently on trial, accused of stealing money from Mayor Michael Bloomberg that was supposed to be used to fund a poll-watching effort, but the Manhattan District Attorney's office alleges was instead used to buyout brother Bart's share in the family's house in tony Forest Hills Gardens. Bloomberg was actually forced to take the stand this week in the case to defend himself against charges that he knew exactly where the money was going when he hired Haggerty.)
But back to the Republicans and their new two-headed leadership.
Last week, Queens members of the Republican Party were required to reorganize, or in layman's terms elect their chair for the next two years. The "official" reorganization meeting was held in Flushing on Wednesday, September 28. But the Haggerty brothers organized their own meeting, which took place in South Richmond Hill.
At the Flushing meeting, 12 of the county's 18 Assembly district were represented, or two-thirds. All those in attendance voted for Ragusa. In a press release issued after the vote, the Queens GOP spun the results into "technically, Phil Ragusa won re-election with 100% of the vote."
But at the same time at the Haggerty brothers meeting, a separate bloc of Queens Republicans was electing Tom Ognibene, the former councilman from Middle Village, as chair of the Republican Party.
Well, this is awkward!
Both factions tried to have their results certified with the Board of Elections. A GOP insider – and an attorney – that we spoke with the next day (hey! we sometimes speak with insiders every now and again), said that the laws are very vague in this case, and, technically, the Board of Elections could declare two chairs of the Queens County Republican Party, He said that was because it isn't completely clear that the Haggerty's meeting was unlawful.
However, he also said that wasn't likely to happen, and that it would be a matter for the courts to decide. And indeed both sides were in court this week as we were going to press arguing their side.
In order to simplify matters, basically what you have is a group of Republicans in north Queens battling for control of the party with a group of Republicans from south Queens. It's a real civil war we've got going on here!
It seems likely that Forest Hills and Middle Village will join the rebel faction of South Queens, but it remains to be seen what forces – loyalists or separatists - the GOP-ers in Rego Park will side with.
May we suggest that Queens Boulevard now informally be referred to as the Ragusa-Haggerty Line? It's so much nicer than the Boulevard of Death.

None of the area's Class 1A boys basketball teams were able to advance to a regional championship game last week.
Three of the six teams made it into last Wednesday's semifinals, but none of them were able to come away victorious.
At the St. Elmo Regional, the hosts of the event fell in a heart-breaking 37-35 loss to eventual champion Nokomis.
Junior Levi Maxey finished his stellar season with a game-high 21 points to end the season with 500 points (17.2 per game).
Two Brownstown girls basketball players reached the state level in the 3-point showdown, but neither of them were able to advance to the finals.
Junior Danie Austin and sophomore Audriana Pruett shot with the best Class 1A girls sharpshooters in the state last Thursday, with Austin making one 3 and Pruett making seven. Nine makes were needed to make the finals.
The event took place at Redbird Arena on the campus of Illinois State University in Normal.
On the boys side, two local players advanced out of the regional 3-point showdown.
The Vandalia Jr. High eighth-grade volleyball team has earned the No. 1 seed in the Teutopolis Regional, and will open play there on Saturday.

The Jr. Lady Vandals enter the game with a 14-5 record after sweeping Jr. Mid-State Conference play.
Seven Jr. Vandals earned regional championships on Saturday at the South Regional in Herrin, with five of them advancing to this weekend's sectional.

Taking on the Purple Panthers at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington, the Vandals were able to significantly cut the margin of victory for Litchfield, which beat the Vandals, 39-21, on Jan. 10.
In the final two bouts, Vandalia needed pins to get the team win after freshmen Kolten Etcheson and Kendrick Woolsey each refused to get pinned at 220 and 285 pounds, but it was not to be.
HILLSBORO - Vandalia was unable to generate any momentum on Friday, as the Wooden Shoes of Teutopolis ran away with the championship of the Hillsboro Regional.

Unfortunately, the reporting system is more complicated than it should be and the reports seem to be largely ignored and the rules are almost never enforced unless one involving money is broken. It's stressful and games weren't meant to be stressful, they were meant to be fun and help relieve stress.I like this environment but I guess I'm just wondering how normal it is to be playing this game as an older individual. Please don't post any ages though as it would seem that is not allowed. :)

Hi all firstly thanks for the opportunity to join your group.
now on a brighter note I was born in Creswick and my grandfather was a miner there up around the Government dam. and he often told me stories of the gold they used to find there. I had my grandmother teach me to pan for gold when i was a 5 year old in Slatey creek and I have probably walked that creek its entire distance I found good gold on the north Creswick side of the creek and took about 12 oz out of there with a sluice a long time ago.Nice to know that it is still producing Gold. any way just a small story to get us underway oh and i am now 63 and have never lost the burn to prospect...Ian Porter.

Festival of Postcards :: Locomotion
'Tis quite a while since last we met. But we must bide as Fate disposes. Until we meet, lest you forget. I'm sending you this card of roses. . . . from . . . Mary Haine, Warren, Ohio, August 24th, 1912 . . . to . . . Mrs. James Dunlap, W. Farmington, Trumbull Co., Ohio . . . 8-23-12. My dear Friend: I was so sorry not to see you last week when I was in F. Had hoped you would be able to be at the grounds. Would like to have stayed all night so I could have come up and seen you. Was only there between trains and Mother and I went to the Cemetery. Do hope you will be able to get to Warren this fall. Sincerely Mary H. . . . This postcard from my private collection (no known relation) was published by F.A. Owen Co., Dansville, N.Y. and features a penny stamp . . .
These postcard collages were prepared for the 9th Festival of Postcards . . . hosted by Evelyn Yvonne Theriault . . .

While developing for the web I tend to jump back and forth between my text editor and the browser a lot. I'd like to set a keyboard shortcut at the OS level that allows me to jump to a specific, definable window every time. Even better would be the ability to issue a tell that application to execute something, but I'll save that for later.
Are there technologies available that will let me do this? There must be something between C and AppleScript that let's me create this kind of an interaction. Does anybody know where to begin?

MSM serves as an important source of bioavailable dietary sulfur, a mineral that plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity and elasticity of connective and other tissues. It is an important component of proteins found throughout the body, such as in hair, nails, skin and tendons. Vitamin C is necessary for the formation of connective tissue, and for amino acid metabolism and hormone synthesis, and is a key factor in the body's immune system. MSM is a naturally occurring form of organic sulfur found mainly in protein-rich foods such as eggs, fish and lean meat. Taking MSM throughout the day helps to replenish the body's supply of sulfur.

The European Union is the leading producer, consumer and exporter of olive oil. In the last five marketing years (2012/13 – 2016/17) the EU produced 67%, consumed 55% and exported 67% of the world's olive oil.
Your feedback is important. Please fill in this survey about the agricultural markets sections on our website.
An "action plan" for the olive oil sector
At the Agriculture Council meeting on 18 June 2012, Commissioner Cioloş presented an action plan on the olive oil sector.
The action plan is developed around the following axes:
Quality and control
Restructuring of the sector
Structuring of the chain
International Olive Council
Competition with third countries
Strengths of European olive oil sector are product quality and positive image, the main actions to be undertaken therefore target at:
Quality and its control, through measures to preserve and promote the image of the European olive oil and to protect / inform consumers better
Strengthening the competitiveness of the sector by using all possibilities offered by the CAP reform and by mobilizing all actors
Long known to many generations in the Mediterranean world as essential to their health and diet, olive oil is now widely appreciated in Europe and around the world for its nutritional, health and sensory properties.
Happily, given its importance to the economies of many regions, demand is steadily increasing both in the EU and in third countries, helped by information and promotional campaigns supported by the EU and others.
The main aim of EU olive oil policy is to maintain and strengthen its position in world markets by encouraging production of a high quality product for the benefit of growers, processors, traders and consumers.
Since 2008 the olive oil regimes has been integrated into the Single Common Market Organisation (CMO).
Detailed information on the EU olive oil sector
>> "Economic analysis of the EU olive oil sector"
>> "Prospects for the olive oil sector in Spain, Italy and Greece - 2012-2020"
>> "EU olive oil farms report - 2000-2010"
International Olive Council (IOC)
The International Olive Council (IOC) is an intergovernmental organisation.
IOC members account for almost 95 % of the world production of olive oil. Almost all the Mediterranean countries and, in addition, Argentina, Iraq and Iran participate in the Agreement.
The Agreement is one of a number of international commodity agreements concluded under the auspices of UNCTAD. They include sugar, cereals, olive oil, coffee, cocoa, tropical wood, rubber, jute, copper, lead, zinc etc.
Current IOC objectives and activities are:
- International technical cooperation (research, training, technical assistance, cooperation)
- International trade standards (setting standards, harmonization of national and international legislation, labeling and geographical indications)
- Promotion of olive sector products (IOC promotion actions)

Family and Friends Newsletter Friday 26 March 2010
Pretty much covered in "The Mushroom Factor." I have found more sources this week and there is still a lot to do!
Although I'm going to stick with Norman research for another week or two, I have resolved to get as much Lizzie Smith research into shape as I can before the FGS Conference in Knoxville in August and I'm planning to do a Google Maps project to show the locations of the top Smith family candidates.
Who Do You Think You Are
My husband and younger daughter have been watching this show with me. This is the week my husband really, really got into it (getting out the books and checking out the units that Matthew Broderick's ancestors served in). I knew the military aspect, especially the Civil War part, would get him hooked. He's still telling me what further battles the 20th Connecticut fought in after Matthew Broderick's great-great grandfather died.
Other TV of Possible Interest to Geneaholics
A new program that may be of interest to people who love History Detectives, Hoarders, and Antique Road Show: American Pickers. I caught the tail end of this show when my husband and daughter were watching it. Guys go around and buy "junk" at garage and barn sales, trying to get "deals" on items that are actually worth a lot of money. Occasionally they get the bad end of the deal.
Bad News for Maine and Massachusetts Researchers
At Upfront with NGS – Maine Bill May Close Vital Records and Mass. Records Closed to 1841?
In a fit of Texas and Aggie nostalgia inspired by Caroline Pointer's post "Wordless Wednesday: Not Really Wordless" at Family Stories, I've added an "Aggie Joke of the Week" to the blog. I really miss those jokes.
Forgot to include an article in today's Follow Friday:
Amy at We Tree in "I Once Was Lost But Now Am Found" relates the happy ending to her search for the "missing" graves of her great-great grandparents.

I didn't know your husband was interested in Civil War units. I'm just starting to try and learn more about all that. Are there any books he could recommend for a novice researching the Civil War and various Union and Confederate units?ReplyDelete
My daughter has been watching Who Do You Think You Are with me (I think she would watch without me, she really seems interested.) Last night my husband joined us.ReplyDelete
I've watched American Pickers with my husband and son and it is interesting.
Leah, you have just made my husband's day. He is going to write down a few books and I will send the list to you by e-mail. Depending on which states your Civil War ancestors came from, there are a lot of different series of unit histories and even a lot of good websites for different units.ReplyDelete
Harriet - Isn't it fun when we can enjoy some "reality" (history, genealogy, etc.) TV with our families? And, you never know, maybe it will help them catch the genealogy bug.ReplyDelete

MANSFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A dog that allegedly severely bit a 6-year-old boy in Mansfield is going on trial.
Mansfield's selectmen have voted to hold a public hearing this month to review an investigation by the animal control officer in response to a dangerous dog complaint. The board chairman called it a "mini trial."
The complaint was filed by Dawn Herbert-Miller, who says her 6-year-old son was bitten on Jan. 3. The boy reportedly suffered injuries to his face and other body parts, requiring surgery and 400 stitches.
The dog's owners tell The Sun Chronicle they have no comment on the reported attack, but know about the hearing.
Town Manager Bill Ross recommended the hearing take place Feb. 27.
The dog could be ordered confined, banished from town, or even euthanized.

BEND, Ore. - The search is on to find answers to why so many fish have been found dead in a dried-up channel of the Deschutes River southwest of Bend.
Dropping water levels in the Deschutes trapped the fish in a channel near Lava Island resulted in the death of hundreds if not thousands of fish. But officials said water levels are routinely lowered at this time of year, and this result appeared to be new and unexpected.
Kim Brannock, who moved to Bend from Portland a few months ago, said she was running Thursday on the river trail when she noticed very little water between the banks.
"As I came up and noticed that the side channel, which is pretty significant when the water is coming through, was completely empty," Brannock said. "I knew that there had to be a lot of dead fish."
She was right: Piles of trout and whitefish could be seen up and down the dry channel.
"It broke my heart to see that many fish, also to see really like vibrant, really big trout too, that just laid there and suffered," Brannock said.
She added that several people had stopped to take pictures while others tried to save some of the fish from a pool of water that was badly depleted of oxygen.
After several calls to friends and family, Brannock and her husband, Lee, decided they would go back to the pool early Friday morning to try and save as many fish as possible.
"People were kind of laughing, 'Oh you're going to go down there and save a few fish.' I was like, 'Yeah, because it's about trying to make a difference,'" Brannock said.
Around 8:30 a.m. Friday, Brannock, her husband and daughter, along with a neighbor, hiked in to the pool.
"We found this pool shortly afterwards, which last night was at least like another 18 inches higher, and it was filled with fish," Brannock said.
For several hours Friday, the team, along with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, moved 500 to 600 fish from the shrinking pool, nearly a quarter of a mile to the main channel of the Deschutes. ODFW officials estimated there were about 3,000 whitefish and sculpin found dead in five pools that had gone or were going dry.
For the last few days, the water level has been dropping on the Central Oregon river.
"At the end of irrigation season, we'll drop reservoir outflows down to begin storing water through the storing season throughout the winter," said Oregon Water Resources Region Manager Kyle Gorman.
Water managers say because Wickiup Reservoir is so low, they are not releasing much downstream.
"Compared to the previous two years, we had to drop the outflow down to fulfill water rights," Gorman said.
The most puzzling thing: Water managers say they've done nothing different than in years past -- and they also noted this isn't the worst it's been, in terms of river levels.
"Hopefully, somebody will figure out what did happen (to the fish) this year, as to previous year,s and then find a solution so it doesn't happen again," Gorman said.
Many observers say it's the first time they've seen anything like this.
"I sort of consider this community all about wildlife and the outdoors," Brannock said. "It kind of feels like a dirty little secret to me. I'm kind of surprised, disappointed for sure."

GOESSEL: Volleyball returns everybody from 4th-place 2013 state team
Staff writer
In her 16th year with the Goessel High School volleyball program, head coach Crysta Guhr has every reason to expect excellence from her team.
The Bluebirds will lose nobody from last year's team that placed fourth in the state class 1A tournament.
Junior Page Hiebert will be looked at to lead the squad's offensive attack, as she was a first team all-state outside hitter as a sophomore. She and two others, outside hitter Erin Brubaker and setter Alyssa Booton, made first team all-league last season. Booton was honorable mention all-state as well.
Other returning letterwinners for the Bluebirds are seniors Gentry Thiesen and Makayla King, junior Alicen Meysing, and sophomores Olivia Duerksen and Shelbi Shultz.
After winning the Wheat State League with a league record of 7-0 last season, the Bluebirds will hope to repeat that feat. It would be the team's fifth consecutive league title.
"Non-league and tournament play will challenge the team with strong opponents in Remington, Olpe, Wabaunsee, Halstead, and others," Guhr said. "The team hopes to make another strong push in postseason play."
The Bluebirds will play their first game Sept. 2 at Ell-Saline, with Elyria and Haven. The Wheat State League tournament is Oct. 18, with sub-state Oct. 25 and the state tournament Oct. 31 through Nov. 1.

We had to get up early for a Kentucky Delegation breakfast and commemorative photo session. It was fun to see everyone even though it was so early! We realized that this would be the last time we'd all be together. There was another luncheon today and then the last convention session with John McCain's speech!

They're still keeping the lights on at the El Rancho restaurant.
The swoopy, orange El Rancho sign is lit up nightly, even though the landmark restaurant has not been open since 2011.
Doug Antonoff, president of Antonoff & Co. and manager of El Rancho Investors LLC, is the one paying to keep the lights on. He said he's not sure offhand how much he has paid in electricity costs.
Many area residents will be looking for a new place to drop off trash, now that the EDS Waste Solutions Inc. transfer station on Highway 73 is closing at the end of the month.
The trash company has operated for more than 30 years on 549 acres of Denver Mountain Parks land. EDS sold its trash hauling routes and trucks to competitor Waste Management Inc. in 2012 for an undisclosed sum but continues to operate the transfer station and recycling station.
Tourist traffic is up about 20 percent in downtown Evergreen this summer, according to at least one store owner.
More customers may be coming to Evergreen to shop because they hear a "Downtown Evergreen" ad playing on KBCO radio (97.3 on the FM dial), according to Trish Wales, president of the Evergreen Downtown Business Association.
The 15-second ad plays during the 7-to-9-a.m. morning commute. It's airing for a second summer after a successful run last summer and over the Christmas holidays, Wales said.
Evergreen Fire Arts downtown deals in everything fire — from fired clay sculptures to blow-torched metalwork to heated glass designs.
And during July's Last Friday Gallery Walk, the fire came outside when Bryon Foster of Morrison demonstrated fire dancing, also called poi dancing, in the parking lot.
Poi dancing involves swinging burning tethered weights through a variety of rhythmical and geometric patterns.
Owner Joe Sanchez said the fire dancing was a natural progression for the studio, which also offers classes in art born of fire.
The Wild Game Entertainment Experience is slated to open this fall in Bergen Park after three years of planning and effort.
Walking around the massive building where workers are finishing an addition for a bowling alley, Evergreen developer Dave Wilson talks about his vision that is finally becoming a reality.
"One of our goals is to improve a community asset, to have it be a fun place for people," Wilson says. "We want people to have a good experience."
When Glenn and Lisa Kastner opened their new restaurant in Marshdale, they wanted a name that summed up their appreciation for their beloved mountain community.
"We live up here in the mountains, and there are plenty of animal dens around here," Glenn said. "A den is inviting; it's home. We wanted to have a place that felt like home."
Since opening June 8, The Den has been serving pizzas, burgers and pasta to hungry mountain residents.
The first time Katinka Frazier saw the former Foothills Flurries building north of Safeway, she knew she had to buy it for an art gallery.
You see, 18th- and 19th-century art is Frazier's passion, and she's always wanted to own a gallery and antique shop to help foster the same passion in others.
Bergen Village will have two outdoor markets this summer: the annual farmers market on Tuesdays and a new Hummingbird Evergreen Market on Sundays.
Both will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The farmers market opens June 3 and will continue through Aug. 26. The hummingbird market opens June 8 and will run through Aug. 24.
This is the 15th year for the farmers market, which is operated by Colorado Outdoor Markets, and it promises to have more food this year.
Thirty-five years is a long time to be in business, and Highland Haven Creekside Inn achieved that landmark this year.
"It's so nice to be in this community for so long," said Gail Riley, who along with her husband, Tom Statzel, runs the bed-and-breakfast on the east end of downtown Evergreen. "We have all this history, and all of Evergreen has all this history with us."
Riley said the secret to the inn's success is reinvesting in the property so it never stagnates, and offering top-quality service.
Evergreen now has a sip-and-paint studio.
Tucked in the corner of the Lakepoint Center, the Old Paint Bar allows would-be artists to sip tea and create beautiful paintings under the helpful eye of artist Nan Hill.
Until the business gets its liquor license, you can also bring in your own wine, and once it has a license, it will sell wine to customers.

Belichick Notices Some Changes in the Jets Running Scheme
October 17th, 2012 9:55 am
Brian Bassett, theJetsBlog.com
Yesterday Bill Belichick talked about the Jets running game and said that the changes of the scheme from Schottenheimer & Callahan to Sparano & DeGuglielmo are quite noticeable. I would say schematically theyve changed their running game a little bit than what its been the past couple of years from more scheme-blocking plays and less zone-blocking plays, Bill Belichick told the Boston Globe during a teleconference on Tuesday. They also run zone plays, too, but they run double-team blocks, pulling linemen, things like that, more so than just predominantly zone.
Going just beyond the scheme-blocking and run blocking differences, Belichick noted that they use some slightly different personnel than in the past. Sometimes they have one or two tight ends in the game, sometimes three tight end sets, Belichick said. Theyve also used Jason Smith as an extra blocking tight end, so hes a pretty athletic guy. Theyre able to do some things with him maybe the same way we did with [Nate] Solder last year so thats another element to it.
While having extra linemen play as blocking tight ends isnt novel to the Jets, they have added another wrinkle that Sparano liked in Miami.
Sometimes they line up all three guys in the backfield, two tight ends and a running back, a running back, fullback, and another tight end, or things like that that create blocking angles and different schemes.
Its a pretty succinct explanation of some of the changes that the Jets have made since last year, particularly in the blocking style as well as some of those three-in-the-backfield personnel groups, something that Bent made particular note of when we wrote out season preview.
Its worth noting that the Patriots will look back at Dolphins footage to get a sense of how Sparano is running his offense similarly or different since his Miami days and most likely Belichick wont be seeing anything new under the sun from the Jets, other than their use of Tim Tebow. Conversely, the Jets should really try and take a page from the Seahawks win over the Patriots last week and try and see how they might try to replicate wide use of the run to set up the pass.
This weekend is going to come down to the Jets out-executing the Patriots. No small feat, especially in hostile confines like Foxboro. The Jets running game is going to be key to a potential win and the Patriots are playing excellent football against the run.
Thanks for posting. This was an enjoyable read
well they filmed it and the signals to the offense all day so they should be ready for it next time..
Just six minutes after posting a rant about the Pats? Patriots Internet Defence League is getting slow.

text: DawnT I wonder if there's anyone on this board that had any knowledge of the process? There were many imitators of the original and many regional processing plants operated by francisees. The method had merit for advance preparation that was clearly suprerior. Microwave products never achieved the same level no matter how much food science has been applied. The IR ovens cooked very fast and did many sandwiches in 3-5 minutes from a cold start. That's literally as fast as a microwave. Were the sandwiches flash frozen or just prepared, Doboy flow wrapped , sealed and refrigerated? What kind of cellophane was used in the wrapping process? It certainly wasn't airtight from what I remember. This must have been partially critical to the warming process as it simultaneously steamed the bread while cooking, but the residual steam also limited the heat temperature. Was there something about heating the product in the celophane that today would be cited as producing toxic components that would not been used today and the reason nobody has gone back to it ? I remember two types of IR light ovens besides the hot light/display used to hold already prepared sandwiches for on-demand sales. One with a drawer and the other had a hinge over cover much like a BBQ (most popular). Both only had a timer and could do about 6 sandwiches at a time. I don't believe they were capable of convection, but some models I see on the web do have ventilation ports. Any info anyone might know on the ovens? I believe the custom mnfr. of the ovens may have been Welbuilt. There's home appliances that can emulate this method and institutional products as well. Panasonic's toaster ovens work on this principle of using IR bulbs above and below to cook and reheat very quickly as others by Cuisinart and Breville. NuWave and clones are sort of doing sort of the same thing with only a top light.

Ritz Theatre
1721 2nd Avenue N.,
2 people favorited this theater
Showing 10 comments
This opened on August 16th, 1926. RItz theatre opening Sun, Aug 15, 1926 – 52 · The Birmingham News (Birmingham, Alabama) · Newspapers.com
The Birmingham Rewound website has a lot of movie ads in their "This Month In History" feature. In the one for March of 1977 there is an ad for a company called Bowie Theatres. Among their listings was one for the Ritz which was playing Woodstock one show per night at 8PM. ABC was still in town running the Alabama, Roebuck, and Bessemer Twin, so apparently they had disposed of the Ritz before they sold out to Plitt, which soon sold out to Cobb.
They have also reproduced an article from the Birmingham News from 1967 announcing that ABC had hired a director of promotions to promote the upcoming opening of "The Bible." It stated that she would be working out of the ABC offices in the Ritz theatre.
Reading the above comment about the Ritz being bought by RKO, it occurs to me that it was probably the venue for the original version of King Kong. I dont know why, but it strikes me as interesting as a movie and theater buff to realize where well known movies played. Most people probably today remember Ritz for its Cinerama era that played those great spectacles, but I was born after that and what played there from the pre-cinerama "contract golden era" of Hollywood fascinates me more. As the Ritz entered its last decade or so of existence, I saw three children's movies there: As a child, I saw Dr. Doolittle, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory at the Ritz. Those are the only movies I remember seeing there, but Im sure there were more.
Correction on my first post:
Doctor Zhivago played at the Ritz during the fall of 1966 not 1965. I saw it for the second time on its final night of the run which was December 22, 1966. The next day, December 23 was the day I saw the Sound Of Music which I also mention in that post.
Thanks to Michael Coate for helping get the dates right.
I had the unforgettable experience of seeing Mutiny on the Bounty there and thought it was the first Cinerama showing, maybe not. I was amazed at how you felt surrounded and so small by the ocean on that screen. It was also the first movie I remember seeing with Marlon Brando in it. I also saw Dr. Schivago, but didn't remember that it was at the Ritz.
When the Ritz was converted to Cinerama, it was closed for months and was a huge story when it reopened.
I too rode the bus downtown to the movies and would eat at the Krystal beforehand. Sitting at the counter, watching a slab of Kystals steaming on the griddle and the cook flipping at least a half dozen at a time, and the smell of them with grilled chopped onions is forever etched in my memory. Without Krystal in this part of NC, stopping to get a half dozen, whenever I'm in town is a treat.
This site is linked to on other Birmingham theatre pages and it is an outstanding site for anyone interested in local history. The section on radio and TV history is particularly detailed and brings back many memories of growing up in Birmingham during the 50' and 60's. This link will take you to the theatre page. Near the bottom is a lengthy section on the Ritz including pictures of how it looked over the years. There are several inside shots taken during the conversion to Cinerama.
As for the Krystal, the site also has a picture of the one downtown near the old Y. I can remember the shock of seeing the price of a Krystal hamburger go from a dime to 12 cents. Does anyone remember the old Dixie Cream Doughnuts shop around the corner?
I have three distinct memories of the Ritz while growing up in Birmingham.
1962: How The West Was Won. My parents told me before the show that I was going to see a movie so big that it took 3 screens to show the entire picture. I guess that is how they had to describe it so a 10 year old would understand. I do not remember much about the movie itself because I was constantly looking at the right and left screens to see what was going on away from the "action." In 1998 I made the trek to Dayton, Ohio to see HTWWW at the Neon Cinerama. It was not until then that I was able to appreciate the incredible focus and 7 track sound.
1965: Doctor Zhivago. The Ritz hosted many roadshow movies while the other ABC operated theatre, The Alabama, played the more standard fare. My mother took me to see this one because she thought it would appeal to my interest in History. (My father, having seen it with her earlier said "…once is enough.") She was right, as usual, and from the first viewing Doctor Zhivago has been one of my favorite movies of all time. I do not know how many times I have seen it over the years, but my viewings have been in every type of venue from mono shoebox theatre to 70MM presentations at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. I have also had the pleasure of working at several theatres where it has played, managed one, (South DeKalb) and run it as the projectionist twice, both times at the Fox. I now have the new 2 disc DVD, and never tire of seeing it.
1965: Sound of Music. The Cobb operated Eastwood Mall Theatre was the main competition for the Ritz and Alabama although its 1960's draped auditorium and living room style lobby were no match for these other two fine places in atmosphere. SOM played its reserved seat engagement at Eastwood, but the day after Zhivago left the Ritz, SOM was brought in as a filler until whatever Christmas show they had booked that year opened. Since I had already seen it at Eastwood, it was not the movie itself but the condition of the print that made this a notable experience. In those days, prints were not produced in anywhere near the numbers of today. More like 300 than 3000. By the time they got to an engagement such as this, there was no telling how many poorly maintained booths and film butchers they had encountered. The Ritz did not get the film in time, or did not bother, to inspect it. It was full of scratches, sound pops, and at least half a dozen breaks, one of which lasted for at least 15 minutes. This made the show end almost an hour late. The result was a massive traffic jam on Second Avenue on the Friday before Christmas as my mother and dozens of other parents there to pick up their children, had to wait in their cars for us to leave the theatre. (Remember, this was in the day when most of the department stores, and by extension Christmas shopping, were still downtown.)
I am sure that I visited the Ritz on other occasions but do not remember any in particular. I also remember going to the Alabama, Empire, Melba, Homewood, and even the Shades Mountain Drive In, but in those days I was more interested in the movie than the venue.
Krystal Burgers is spelled with a "K." I remember the Cinerama Ritz (NOT Ritz Cinerama) well. Saw "How the West Was Won" and other Cinerama presentations there. It is a shame it is gone.
I saw many movies at the Ritz in the 50's and 60's, including "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," "Dr. Zhivago," and "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm" (in Cinerama). It was torn down in the late 70's or early 80's, because by the time I came back to B'ham in 1983 it was gone. It was one block down and one block over from the Alabama, so on a Saturday afternoon you could sometimes see two movies, one at each place and grab some lunch at the Krystal (my God, did we really eat that stuff?) on the way between them. This saved on bus fare.

Brad Daugherty, formerly of UNC Tarheel basketball fame (and some who-cares NBA pro fame), was waxing poetic today about Jimmy Johnson's (apparently) unprecedented NASCAR 'season'. Johnson is the 'Nextel Cup' champion this year and is, I guess, a sort of athlete or something. See below to understand the sport that is NASCAR.
I would insert a *yawn* here but WHAT THE HELL?!?! Daugherty is a 6' 10'' cager for goodness' sake. We've got women commentators on the football sidelines (and thank goodness they are mostly hotties), we've got a male in the Michigan flag corps, we've got U of La- Monroe beating the Tide in Tuscaloosa, we've got Notre Dame versus Duke FOOTBALL as a nationally televised treat with many believeing Duke would win, we've got hoopsters talking about NASCAR.... the day of the Lord cometh like a thief in the night. Be prepared.
