Let the mazels begin. A New York City bakery has unveiled an unusual Thanksgivukkah treat to celebrate the rare collision of two food-centric holidays, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah.
Interested in ?Add as an interest to stay up to date on the latest news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
Zucker Bakery, located in Manhattan, has debuted four versions of Thanksgivukkah doughnuts: Spiced pumpkin doughnuts with turkey and gravy filling, spiced pumpkin doughnuts with turkey and cranberry filling, spiced pumpkin doughnuts with cranberry sauce filling and sweet potato doughnuts with toasted marshmallow cream filling.
Does the World Need a Deep-Fried Twinkie Burger?
"We're a Jewish bakery serving Jewish style/Eastern European desserts," said Melissa Feit, a baker and co-owner at Zucker Bakery. "For Hannukah, a traditional food to have is doughnuts. But this year, for the first time in many years, Hanukkah is falling at the same time as Thanksgiving. So it became fun to try to figure this out."
The treats will officially go on sale this weekend, with prices ranging from $3.50 to $5, depending upon the filling. While the bakery does not currently offer shipping, Feit said that home cooks could try to conquer the sweet themselves.
Doughnut-Muffin Hybrid Causes Kerfuffle in the UK
"[The Thanksgivukkah doughnuts] can totally be made at home," she said. "The only thing is the deep frying, which a lot of people don't like to do at home."
Despite not officially going on sale yet, the Thanksgivukkah treats are already so popular that the bakery is considering selling them through the end of the year.
"The turkey is good, it really is," said Feit. "It's like when you are having all of the Thanksgiving side dishes at one time, and those are my favorite."

It's a boy for this girl.
Jemima Kirke gave birth to her second child last week, a source confirms to PEOPLE.
The baby, reportedly a son named Memphis, is said to have arrived Tuesday, Nov. 20.
The Girls star, 27, and husband Michael Mosberg are already parents to 2-year-old daughter Rafaella Israel.
Kirke, who's also an artist, didn't find out the sex of the baby prior to delivery.
"If I have a boy, I'll probably just tell him to be nice to women," she told VICE recently. "Being humble and sweet is the hardest thing you can do."
The second season of the hit show premieres Jan. 13 on HBO.

|For immediate release
The Federal Reserve Board today announced a public meeting for August 13, 1998, in Chicago on the proposal by Banc One Corporation, Columbus, Ohio, to merge with First Chicago NBD Corporation, Chicago, Illinois.
The purpose of the meeting is to collect information relating to the factors the Board is required to consider under the Bank Holding Company Act. These factors are the effects of the proposal on the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the companies and banks involved in the proposal, competition in the relevant markets, and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. Convenience and needs considerations include consideration of the records of performance of Banc One and First Chicago under the Community Reinvestment Act.
The meeting will be held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, 230 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois, and will begin at 9:00 a.m. CDT.
Persons wishing to testify at the meeting must submit a written request no later than 5:00 p.m. CDT, Friday, July 31, 1998, containing a brief statement of the nature of the expected testimony and the estimated time required for the presentation (together with their address, telephone number, and facsimile number if available), to Alicia Williams, Vice President and Community Affairs Officer, Consumer and Community Affairs Division, Federal .Reserve Bank of Chicago, 230 LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604 (facsimile: 312/913-2626). Persons interested only in attending the meeting do not need to submit a written request to attend.
On the basis of the requests to testify, the presiding officer of the public meeting will establish a schedule of appearances and prescribe all necessary procedures to ensure that the meeting proceeds in a fair and orderly manner. An agenda for the meeting, which will include the scheduled time for each person's testimony, will be provided to participants at a later date.
Attached is a copy of the Notice of Public Meeting, which sets forth the procedures to be followed at the meeting.
The Federal Reserve Board also announced that the period for public comment on the proposal has been extended through August 13, 1998.
Banc One Corporation
Background and Public Meeting Notice
Purpose and Procedures
The transaction also involves the proposed acquisition of a number of nonbanking companies engaged in activities permissible for bank holding companies. The Board also must determine whether conducting the proposed nonbanking activities can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public that outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest, or unsound banking practices.
Testimony at the public meeting will be presented to a panel consisting of a Presiding Officer, or her designee, and other panel members appointed by the Presiding Officer. The Presiding Officer at the meeting will be Dolores S. Smith, Director of the Board's Division of Consumer and Community Affairs. In conducting the public meeting, the Presiding Officer will have the authority and discretion to ensure that the meeting proceeds in a fair and orderly manner. In contrast to a formal administrative hearing, the rules for taking evidence in an administrative proceeding do not apply to this public meeting. Panel members may question witnesses, but no cross-examination of witnesses will be permitted. The public meeting will be transcribed and information regarding procedures for obtaining a copy of the transcript will be announced at the public meeting.
All persons wishing to testify at the public meeting must submit a written request to Alicia Williams, Vice President and Community Affairs Officer, Consumer and Community Affairs Division, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, 230 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604 (facsimile: 312/913-2626) not later than 5:00 p.m. CDT, Friday, July 31, 1998. The request must include the following information: (i) a brief statement of the nature of the expected testimony and the estimated time required for the presentation; (ii) address and telephone number (and facsimile number, if available) of the person testifying; and (iii) identification of any special needs, such as from persons desiring translation services, persons with a physical disability who may need assistance, or persons requiring visual aids for their presentation. To the extent available, translators will be provided to persons wishing to present their views in a language other than English if this information is included in the request to testify. Persons interested only in attending the meeting do not need to submit a written request to attend.
On the basis of the requests received, the Presiding Officer will prepare a schedule for persons wishing to testify and establish the order of presentation. To ensure an opportunity for all interested commenters to present their views, the Presiding Officer may limit the time for presentation. Persons not listed on the schedule may be permitted to speak at the public meeting if time permits at the conclusion of the schedule of witnesses, at the discretion of the Presiding Officer. Copies of testimony may, but need not, be filed with the Presiding Officer before a person's presentation.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective July 22, 1998.

Paul San Casciani Fellow
Paul San Casciani likes to explore the decorative possibilities of stained glass, combining traditional and modern techniques in novel ways. His speciality, traditional glass painting, allows him to design and create work in any traditional style for ecclesiastical or secular settings. Glasspainting combined with enamelling produces highly-wrought, unique panels with a wide range of subjects; portraits, initials, heraldic shields, zodiac signs, famous scenes... for celebratory occasions. However, his greatest challenge is combining traditional and modern glasspainting, copperfoiled inserts of specially-made jewel-like glass globs and fused pieces into windows, autonomous panels, free-standing sculptural pieces, lamps and wall plaques.

What is an escrow account? When you're buying a new home, you'll set up an escrow account, which will be the account in which your taxes and insurance are paid annually when they come due. So rather than you making a mortgage payment, and then once a year paying your insurance or taxes, you make one mortgage payment and a portion of that payment is diverted to the escrow account. Then, a balance builds up throughout the year. When the taxes and insurance are due, we pay that money out of the escrow account on your behalf.
Now, when you're closing on your new home, there are things we need to take into consideration to properly fund the escrow account.
The first thing that will be included in your escrow is called prepaid interest. If you close in the middle of a month on your new home, we prepay the interest at settlement to the end of that month, then you'll skip the payment the following month. So, no payment the next month, and you start with your regular schedule payment the month after. We have to account for that 15 or 20 days prepaid interest.
Also, your homeowner's insurance agent, like Allstate or Farmer's is going to want to be prepaid for the first 12 months. They always want to be paid before they issue the insurance policy, so we have to prepay that 12 months insurance.
We're going to collect for that at closing, and then we're going to put three months worth of taxes, and three months worth of insurance into the escrow account to get it started with a balance. That way as you move forward throughout the years ahead, if there's an increase in the taxes, or increase in your homeowner's insurance, there's a little bit of a cushion in that escrow account in which those can be paid without increasing your monthly payment.
We hope you found this interesting and we would love to help you out with any questions you may have. Please reach out to us or fill out your free consultation today!

these days the Bio side is flooded and competitive. Likely due to PhD's leaving the bench and looking for other careers.
You are speaking about a specific facet of IP law, namely patent law. More specifically, it seems that you're addressing a particular position within of the practice of patent law, which is that of a federal patent officer. If you are planning on going becoming a patent lawyer, your undergrad background will likely count very much. You might be able to use your undergraduate background to leverage a position at a better firm coming from a lesser law school. The days of few IP lawyers are over. I estimate that by the time you and I are practicing, IP lawyers will almost be a dime a dozen. They most certainly will be in 15 years.
What I think may give you an edge is studying EU IP law, or comparative Asian IP law. IP is intrinsically borderless, so the intersection of international jurisdictions and treaties and IP will be a hot area over the next five years.
Sorry if I'm taking this topic on a bit of a detour, but how is the demand for Industrial Engineers in Patent Law? As an 'imaginary' engineer with plans on going to law school, I'm interested in patent law, but I don't know how I'd fair with my background.

The Fashion Meets Music column often visits and does retrospectives on some of the most influential culture queens of music. Cher is a multi-faceted performer whose talents exceed the medium of music. She changed the standard of what was cool at the time. Cher's style originated the square nail look that is still popular today. Sonny and Cher helped popularize the bell-bottom trend for men and women of the 60's by wearing them on their television show. Cher would design her pants and her friend, Bridget, would sew them.
She emerged onto the Southern California scene, 16 year old beauty in the 60's. Cher met Sonny Bono at a coffee shop in L.A., according to Cher, "It was as if the whole room went to soft focus, like Tony and Maria at the dance." Sonny was a record industry worker and part-time percussionist. Sonny loved her voice and she adored his company. He introduced her to his boss, Phil Spector. Although her initial nervous audition with Spector wasn't impressive. When she had Sonny on her side, their quirky chemistry made the music work.
They won acclaim with The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour a television they ended each night with the tune, "I've Got You Babe". Cher's outrageous Bob Mackie-designed costumes and musical success made her a star.
Cher Trivia
- Cher dropped out of high school at 16 due to dyslexia
- Caesar and Cleo were the original recording names of Sonny and Cher
- Bob Mackie has been dressing Cher for over 40 years
- In 1979 Cher had her middle and last names dropped
- Cher will resume her self titled show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace starting in April.
Bob Mackie met Cher in 1967 and the rest is fashion history! The creative combo built a vault of dazzling costumes. If you enjoy fantasy, sequins, glitter, and over-the-top fabulous, then these are for you.
Bob Mackie on the costumes that Cher wore during her 2008 shows in Las Vegas:
It's like a drag queen's delight. She had thoughts about being every sort of goddess – an Egyptian princess for "Strong Enough." On "Half-Breed," she's an American Indian princess in a bejeweled loincloth and war bonnet that drapes to the floor. It's crazy. On "Turn Back Time," she's in classic black and studs and holes and garter belts. On "Love Is a Battlefield," the Pat Benatar hit, she comes out in a mini. NY Daily News
Cher is in her 60's and can still wear a bedazzled catsuit four nights a week. Amazing. Take a look at Bob Mackie's Cher fashion sketches for the Las Vegas shows running 90 minutes every Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
She has also starred in some pretty great films. If you were to do a Cher movie montage day, I would suggest these:
Must See Cher Movies:
- Mask (1985)
- Witches of Eastwick (1987)
- Moonstruck (1987)
- Mermaids (1990)
I can't pick a favorite out of these four on any given day one will appeal in some sort of way. So great. Any favorite Cher films or music videos?

I had so much fun putting together our where were you in '82" story. As Special Events celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, we've been taking a look back as our industry has flourished since we oriented our first issue, in 1982.
But shame on me: When we ran the image of our very first cover, I neglected to credit the party rental pioneers on that cover: (from left) Linda, Bob and Ducky Firnberg. Our first cover profiled their state-of-the-at showroom in Richardson, Texas.
Then-editor Richard Cerilli explained how the Firnbergs tracked order changes with paper work orders in different colors.
Plenty has changed since 1982, but it's wonderful to see that Ducky-Bob's, now part of Classic, is going strong.

Mobile & Wireless Slideshow: Apple iPhone 4S: 10 Reasons it's Worth Considering for the Enterprise
By Don Reisinger | Posted 10-07-2011
Apple iPhone 4S: 10 Reasons it's Worth Considering for the Enterprise
Your Employees Want ItIf you can't increase their pay, giving your workers the mobile device they want to use could be a huge morale booster. For the foreseeable future, that device is the iPhone 4S. Employee retention, alone, might be enough to make you want to deploy Apple's latest handset.
Apple was expected to show off two new iPhones at an event held in its hometown of Cupertino, CA on Oct. 4. One, the iPhone 4S, was believed to be a nominal upgrade over its predecessor, the iPhone 4, while the other, the iPhone 5, would deliver the revolutionary upgrades Apple loyalists were after. However, Apple instead unveiled the iPhone 4S and its new iOS5 operating system at the event, disappointing those hoping for a major device upgrade. However, with the Oct. 5 death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs coming hard on the heels of the product debut, the Twitterati were abuzz with speculation that the "4S" was so named in honor of Jobs: iPhone 4S being shorthand for "iPhone For Steve." Naming decisions notwithstanding, for CIOs, it might have been good news. For one thing, Sprint joins the ranks of U.S. wireless carriers Verizon and AT&T in offering the iPhone 4S when it hits the market on October 14. And, as we've said on these pages before, iPhone 5 didn't look to be an enterprise winner. Using rumors and analyst reports as our guide, it appeared that the iPhone 5 was undoubtedly designed with only consumers in mind. And in the process, CIOs, hoping to make their employees more productive, would have been disappointed. Such is not the case with the iPhone 4S, which includes some nifty new features via iOS5. On paper, at least, Apple's latest handset entrant could be a winner for consumers and enterprise users, alike. Here are 10 reasons why.

Chris Weber, Nokia's president of North America, told FierceWireless in an interview that they are working to gain ground in the U.S. market by becoming the most carrier-friendly manufacturer in town. With this in mind, he said that they are trying to bring exclusive Windows Phone devices, content and experiences to each carrier.
"The most important thing we can do in the U.S. market is bring exclusive devices and opportunities to each of the carriers," he said. "Doing that exclusivity and giving them something unique allows us to get great carrier support."
T-Mobile is set to get the Lumia 710 and the stunning Lumia 900 is en route to AT&T under the moniker Ace. Nokia is working with T-Mobile specifically to lure in first time smartphone buyers, while the main focus with AT&T is to get current users on other platforms to make the move over. However, when asked about Verizon, who currently only carries the Gen-1 HTC Trophy, Weber was rather mum, stating only that "they're a very important partner for [Nokia]." He made no mention of Sprint, who seems to have nearly abandoned Windows Phone all together after a half-hearted affair with the wonderful HTC Arrive.
Perhaps this is just reading too much into the words of an exec, mixed some a healthy pinch of wishful thinking. Or perhaps it is a sign of greatness on the horizon. Either way, Weber's words show that Nokia knows where the key to success lies:
"At the end of the day, if we have great consumer satisfaction, they recommend it to friends, they love those devices, every other business metric takes care of itself."

Best Tea Kettles 2010
It's just about to turn cooler and I can already feel my mind straying to thoughts of sweaters, boots and warming drinks. It's time to think about nesting, and for proper nesting you need a good tea kettle. Every home has one, usually sitting right on top of the stove. Aside from wanting to be practical, a tea kettle makes a significant design statement. Can you judge people by their choice of tea kettle? Sure you can, so let's do a rundown of those I like best. Got your own ideas? Please let me know in the comments.
• Kettle by Sori Yanagi, 1994: A personal favorite, this brushed stainless steel kettle has a distinctive, simple shape and is easy to clean. The only problem is that it doesn't whistle.
• Chemex Hand Blown Glass Water Kettle: This is a stunning new entry that I haven't personally tried, but here's a reader review: "I have been using one for about a year. I absolutely love it! The handle gets warm, but not too warm to hold it. It pours very well, and is a real work of art."
• Revere Whistling Tea Kettle: Old school, easy to clean, works perfectly
• Sapper 9091 Tea Kettle: A modern classic from 1983, "This was Alessi's first 'designer kettle', heralding a new season of kettle ideas for the design world. The true heart of this design is the brass whistle whose pipes sing two notes, 'mi' and 'si' when the steam blows through them, giving a particularly attractive melody."
• Adagio Teas Glass Water Kettle: Another lovely pure glass kettle and a new find.
• Classic Chinese Restaurant Kettle: Stainless steel, black handle, cute spout, and CHEAP - can be found in Chinatown shops and at Pearl River Mart
• Alessi Michael Graves Tea Kettle: A modern classic, and sooooo 80's (but it broke open the field and established Graves as a tastemaker in the housewares field)
• Bodum Osiris: A stripped down contemporary version. Post Graves, but with all the Graves taken out...
• OXO Uplift Tea Kettle: A bit over engineered, but sure to be a classic for it's ease of use and inventive pouring design.
• All-Clad Stainless Kettle: High end, clean lines and it whistles!
• Chantal Stainless Kettle: VERY FANCY, Kitchen bling, high end, clean lines AND a Hohner harmonica tells you when the water has boiled
• Chantal EVA Zeisel Kettle: This is a new entry that actually looks like the Chinese restaurant kettles. A Brushed stainless finish gives it a modest appeal.
• Russell Hobbs Cordless Kettle: Best electric
• Simplex Quick Boil Teakettle: A little too ornate, but this old fashioned design really works. This baby boils FAST. Made in England from tinned-lined solid copper.
• Demeyere Rondo 83oz Whistling Kettle: Nice recommendation by a reader, this "one combines the simplicity of the Revere with some actual good heat conductive metal and a pleasant whistle tone. This is my favorite kettle after looking at 30 kettles in the last month."
• Best Tea Kettles from 2007 with 31 Comments
• Top 10 Kettles from 2005 with 35 Comments

OLIVET, Mich. – Senior co-captain James Williams returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown, caught a 39-yard touchdown pass and returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, but the Olivet College football team came up just short against Cornell (Iowa) College, 36-35, today at the Cutler Athletic Complex in Olivet.
After stopping the Rams on their first offensive series, the Comets drove down to the Cornell 20-yard line before a fumble was recovered and returned 73 yards. Anthony Bridges put the Rams on the scoreboard with a 38-yard field goal with 7:36 left in the opening quarter.
Olivet answered with an 11-play, 58-yard scoring drive. Junior quarterback Jake Messner capped the drive with a 10-yard pass to freshman Jon Beach. Junior Blake Iobe made the PAT kick to make the score 7-3.
The Comets went ahead on Williams' 65-yard punt return with 8:10 remaining in the second stanza. Olivet's defense stopped Cornell on its next possession. The Comets responded with a 77-yard drive, with junior Edric Miller spinning his way through the defense for the final 20 yards and into the end zone. Iobe's PAT kick split the uprights at Olivet led 21-3 with 1:40 left in the half. The Rams quickly marched down the field and cut into their deficit with a touchdown to make the score 21-10 at halftime.
Nick Brautigam returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown to trim Olivet's lead to four points, 21-17. The Comets were stopped on their next drive, and Iobe's punt was downed at the Cornell 2-yard line. The Rams needed 11 plays to put them ahead for the first time, 24-21, with 3:28 left in the third quarter.
On a fourth down play, Williams hauled in his 39-yard touchdown reception from Messner, and Olivet led 28-24. Cornell regained the lead when quarterback Juan Flores scampered 44 yards for a touchdown. Williams returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, and the Comets had a 35-30 lead with 13:55 left in the game.
The Rams grabbed the lead back on a 3-yard pass completion from Flores to Thomas Connor. The scoring drive was set-up after Cornell blocked Olivet's punt. The Comets had one more series but a pass attempt on fourth down was incomplete.
Olivet finished the game with 302 yards of offense, including 146 rushing yards. Miller led all ball carriers with 17 rushes for 69 yards. Junior Jon Martin carried the ball 10 times for 50 yards. Messner completed 12-of-19 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. Williams topped the receiving corps with three catches for 69 yards.
Defensively, sophomore linebacker Cody Boughton recorded a team-leading 11 tackles. Junior A.J. Moore was next with eight tackles.
Cornell rolled up 342 yards. Flores had 11 carries for 103 yards, and was 12-of-16 passing for 123 yards. Conner caught seven passes for 78 yards. Tyler Bailey recorded 13 total tackles, including 10 solo stops.
The Comets continue their non-conference schedule next Saturday with a night game at Elmhurst (Ill.) College. Kickoff from Langhorst Field is 6 p.m. CT/7 p.m. ET.

Coker then added two more runs in the top of the seventh, but the Knights would battle back to tie the game at 5-5 and force extra innings. In the top of the eighth, Coker would tack on two more runs, and then hold the home team to just one run to secure a tight 7-6 victory.
Katelyn Szupello was the offensive leader in game one for Coker as she went 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBI. Logan Cox collected two RBI, and went 1-for-3 with one run scored.
On the bump, Lauren Phillips would grab the win after pitching eight innings and fanning four batters.
Coker got off to a quick start in game number two after scoring two runs in the first, one run in the second, and another in the top of the fifth. St. Andrews would then take a 5-4 lead after scoring five runs in the fifth and sixth, but Coker would force extra innings yet again by scoring the game tying run in the seventh. Coker however could not complete the comeback, as the Knights would go onto score two runs in the bottom of the ninth to preserve a 7-6 win.
Sydney Weatherford went 2-for-4 at the plate in game two, with two runs scored and two RBI. Suttle was also an impact in the batters box, as she went 3-for-4 with one run scored.
Tabitha Allen would be marked with the loss, after pitching 0.1 innings and giving up three runs on three hits with one strikeout.
Coker will continue to play on the road, as they travel to Barton on Saturday (Mar. 8) in a nonconference doubleheader. Game time is set for 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.

How to parallel park a 1968 Alfa Romeo racing prototype
Connoisseurs of vintage Top Gear clips will know that parallel parking a big, mid-engined Italian supercar—say, a Lamborghini Countach—is a chore. The same cannot be said of big, mid-engined Italian race cars, like this Alfa Romeo 33/2. And when its owner was kind enough to accept a hand, Jalopnik was there to help.

Fusilli alla Caprese
So it is no real secret I've been a total slug since my surgery, which translates into many hours of watching the Food Network.
Of all the hours I've spent watching, this is the one recipe that caught my attention and I could not stop thinking about it until I made it.
So I dragged myself out of bed, begged my husband to go to the store to get some pasta and mozzarella and we whipped up this meal, which is quite an accomplishment in itself since I haven't made a single thing besides cold cereal in weeks.
Don't let the fancy name scare you – it is basically pasta thrown together with tomatoes, basil and fresh mozzarella in garlic and olive oil and was on Giada's "Cooking for Beginners" episode which should give you some indication of how easy it really is to make this.
Was it worth it? Well, I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best pasta dish I have eaten in months – and I've eaten a lot of great pasta dishes.
Oh my, it was tremendous – the fresh mozzarella cheese was perfect with the right-out-of-the-garden basil and tomatoes.
Honestly, I know I say this a lot in relation to recipes I post on here, but I could eat this every night of my life and be a very happy (and probably very chubby) woman. Fast and so delicious!
Apple Stuffed Chicken Breasts, Broiled Parmesan and Lemon Chicken, or Crispy Oven-Baked Chicken
A simple green salad (or for something more fancy this Gourmet Green Salad)
Fresh, seasonal fruit
Fusilli alla Caprese
- 1 pound fusilli pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered (about 1 1/2 pints)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, torn
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced (about 1 1/4 cups)
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta into a large bowl and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- In a medium skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper. As the tomatoes cook and soften, smash them with a fork. Continue to cook until the tomatoes make a chunky style sauce, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the tomato sauce to the bowl with the pasta. Toss to combine. Add the basil leaves and mozzarella. Stir to combine. Add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until the pasta is moist. Serve.

FERPA Online Library
|MS Word (27 KB)
October 12, 2005
Mr. Dann Stevens
Program Consultant-Medicaid
Iowa Department of Education
Grimes Office Building-Third Floor
Des Moines, Iowa 50319
Dear Mr. Stevens:
This responds to your letter requesting an opinion whether Medicaid claim documentation used by school districts and other educational agencies is considered an "education record" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g. This Office administers FERPA and provides technical assistance to educational agencies and institutions to ensure compliance with the statute and regulations, which are codified at 34 CFR Part 99.
You explained by way of background that both local school districts and intermediate agencies, known as Area Education Agencies (AEAs), seek Medicaid reimbursement for eligible services provided to students under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (Part B or IDEA). Regional AEAs provide Medicaid eligible support services to local school districts in the State, including physical therapy, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy and behavioral support from school psychologists and social workers. The Medicaid program in Iowa provides that the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) must define Medicaid eligible services.
According to your letter, AEAs in Iowa use a statewide computer system that stores the IEP service information and generates a Medicaid Service Form that includes the student's name; date of birth; Medicaid ID; attending school, IEP service specialty; and staff person assigned to the student for the service. Once completed by AEA staff, the data is entered into the statewide computer system by AEA staff. The AEA then uses this data to submit an electronic Medicaid claim to the Iowa Medicaid fiscal agent for reimbursement. You indicated that local school districts may also seek Medicaid reimbursement using electronic filing or paper claims that contain essentially the same data that appears in the AEA electronic claim. Both AEAs and local school districts retain the Medicaid claim documentation in an area that is separate from the student's IEP file. You indicated that some of your staff maintain that the Medicaid Service Form is an "education record" under FERPA, while others argue that it is like forms used for other Federal programs that are not treated as "education records," such as the free and reduced price lunch program.
FERPA applies to educational agencies and institutions that receive funds under any program administered by the Secretary of Education. 34 CFR § 99.1(a). We assume for purposes of this discussion that both local school districts and AEAs in Iowa are subject to FERPA under this provision. Under FERPA a parent or eligible student (i.e., a student who has reached 18 years of age or attends a postsecondary institution) must provide a signed and dated written consent before the agency or institution discloses education records, or personally identifiable information from education records. 34 CFR § 99.30. Exceptions to this requirement are set forth in § 99.31 of the FERPA regulations. The term "education records" is defined as those records that are:
- Directly related to a student; and
- Maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a party acting for the agency or institution.
34 CFR § 99.3 ("Education records"). Exclusions to this definition, which are set forth in subsection (b) of the regulatory definition, are:
- Record kept in the "sole possession" of the maker under specified conditions;
- Records of the institution's "law enforcement unit";
- Employee or personnel records;
- Medical and psychological "treatment" records of postsecondary students; and
- Records that only contain information about an individual after he or she is no longer a student ("alumni records").
There is no exception to the definition of "education records" for records used to submit reimbursement claims to a State Medicaid fiscal agent or for forms used by other Federal agencies. Nor is there any exception to the written consent requirement in FERPA that permits an educational agency or institution to disclose personally identifiable information to the Iowa Medicaid fiscal agent for reimbursement unless a parent or eligible student has provided prior written consent. Student records are protected under FERPA unless there is another Federal law that presents an irreconcilable conflict with FERPA requirements and governs as a later-enacted statute. See Watt v. Alaska, 451 U.S. 259, 267-268 (1981). We are aware of no such conflicting Federal law that applies to the circumstances you have described.
Note that under § 99.30(a), an educational agency or institution may disclose education records if a parent has provided prior written consent to a third party authorized to receive the records, such as the designated Medicaid fiscal agent. The agency or institution must have a reasonable basis for concluding that the parent has in fact provided the necessary written consent to the third party, and the consent must conform to the requirements of § 99.30(b) of the regulations.
I trust that the above information is helpful in explaining the scope and limitations of FERPA as it relates to your concern.

Dr Hans-Christoph Hirt, Co-Head of Hermes EOS, discusses how this voting season is likely to highlight that boards and remuneration committees need to raise their game.
The majority vote of shareholders against BP's remuneration report at the company's AGM last week has brought comparisons with the so-called shareholder spring of 2012 during which a number of companies faced significant opposition from investors on pay packages. This in turn led to new legislation on executive pay in the UK in 2013: Shareholders now have a binding vote on a company's remuneration policy, at least every three years, and an annual, non-binding vote on its remuneration report, which effectively describes the implementation of the policy.
We at Hermes EOS believe this voting season is a crucial test of how the UK remuneration law works in practice and, importantly, is likely to highlight that boards and remuneration committees in particular need to raise their game. After all, developing, thoroughly assessing and stress-testing, implementing and – if necessary adjusting the outcomes of – an executive remuneration policy is the responsibility of non-executive directors – not of shareholders. We take a robust approach on the election or re-election of individuals and groups of directors who do not live up to this responsibility and the expectations of long-term asset owners and their beneficiaries who we represent.
While we welcome the debate that was triggered by BP's remuneration vote, we believe it would benefit from disentangling some of the underlying topics and looking at companies on a case-by-case basis, something we aim to do when we consider major voting decisions. We believe there are four key issues for remuneration committees to consider and communicate on to shareholders:
- Assessment: Remuneration committees must improve their assessment and stress-testing of remuneration policies and the disclosure and communications of outcomes of different, even unlikely, scenarios. If their members are unable to do so, this suggests that remuneration policies have become far too complex and unnecessarily complicated.
- Alignment: Remuneration committees must balance the understandable desire to set at least some targets that can be (fully) controlled by executives with the need to ensure alignment of remuneration and long-term value creation (shareholders should take a long-term perspective and not be obsessed with short term share price developments or profitability). We have long argued that paying a significant part of remuneration to executives in shares and requiring them to hold them well beyond their tenure with companies is a natural starting point to ensure the desired alignment.
- Quantum: Remuneration committees must form a view on what they regard as appropriate and acceptable quantum for executives in different scenarios and clearly disclose and communicate this to shareholders. Shareholders can then take a view on this important matter. This will be informed by the fact that asset owners, such as pension funds, in particular find it difficult to explain to their underlying beneficiaries the different development of executive and average employee remuneration and the resulting widening pay gap over the last decades.
- Discretion: Remuneration committees must be ready to use discretion to adjust the outcomes of policies, if implementation leads to results that contradict their underlying purpose, or simply fail the common sense test, specifically in view of the alignment of remuneration and long-term value creation. Indeed, they should be using discretion to safeguard their company's reputation and social licence to operate in a given market.
As in previous years, the voting decisions of Hermes EOS on remuneration policies and reports in the UK and globally are based on an assessment of the governance and processes around them, related disclosure and communications, our intensive engagement on remuneration with many companies and – significantly – the practical outcomes we observe. We look forward to more and better dialogue with remuneration committees and boards on the issues outlined above during this year's voting season and in preparation for the next generation of policies that will be presented to shareholders in the UK in 2017.
For more information on our position regarding executive remuneration, please refer to our policy document:

D'Angelo Harrison wasted no time on Saturday afternoon, catching a pass from teammate Phil Greene at the top of the arc and draining a 3-pointer on the Red Storm's first possession of the contest against Youngstown State, giving the prolific scorer sole possession of the St. John's school record for career high in 3-point field goals.
The junior guard would go on to hit a total of five 3-pointers in just six attempts, giving Harrison a total of 156 career makes from long distance...and counting.
The Red Storm came away with a victory against YSU by a final score of 96-87, led by an impressive Harrison stat line: 29 points on 15 shots, six rebounds, four assists and zero turnovers.
"I had a lot of open shots," Harrison said after the win. "Coach kept telling me to be aggressive but more efficient. I've done that the past two games."
Harrison takes sole possession of the record from Willie Shaw, who converted on 151 of his 3-point shot in his four years with the team in the early 2000s.
Proud of his achievement, Harrison was quick to credit teammates for having a large role in his ability to score.
"It feels great, I'm excited I got it," Harrison said of the record. "It's good to have it, and I couldn't do it without these guys."
St. John's head coach Steve Lavin is proud of his All-American guard, noting Harrison's growth, both on and off the court.
"He's improved his shot selection, and he's shooting a higher percentage than he ever has in his career," Lavin said. "He's not just a scorer shooting a low percentage, now he's a scorer who shoots a high percentage, and distributes the ball and takes care of the ball. Now you add some leadership and we're really talking."
Lavin handed Harrison a season-ending suspension last year, and though the infractions were never specified, the coach made it clear that the Houston native was being punished for behavioral issues.
But Harrison used his suspension to reevaluate himself, and feels that he has grown since his dismissal.
"It was hard to say at the beginning, but I thank coach for suspending me," Harrison said. "He made me change a lot of things about myself. I came back a better person; the guys see it, everybody sees it. I thank him for that, and I thank the guys for taking me back on the team."
This win improves the Red Storm's record to 8-3, keeping them in the middle of the pack within the new-look Big East.
This season, Harrison is scoring more points at a more efficient rate than in his two previous years in Queens, taking fewer shots and playing shorter minutes. He is also causing fewer turnovers and is getting to the foul line more often than ever before.
Harrison feels the team is more mature than last year, and that they are capable of big things going forward.
"Coach stresses maturity with us every day," Harrison said. "We all had to grow up, me especially. It looks like we're going to be a hell of a team."
The Johnnies finished the first half knotted at 43 with YSU, but played better defense after halftime, which led to fast-paced offense. It is integral for the team to be able to keep up their improved offense through conference play, which begins on New Year's Eve for the Johnnies.
Harrison and the Red Storm will look to keep the good times rolling on Dec. 28 against Columbia University at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

RICHMOND, VA - Vancouver Whitecaps FC Reserves (MLS Reserve League: 2W-0L-3D) remained unbeaten on Saturday as they held the undefeated Richmond Kickers (USL PRO: 7W-0L-5D) to a a 1-1 draw in their first ever MLS Reserve League-USL PRO interleague match.
A first-half goal from Kekuta Manneh was cancelled out by a second-half tap-in from Kickers leading scorer Joseph Ngwenya to give each team a share of the spoils.
Kekuta Manneh gives the 'Caps a 1-0 lead
It was a stormy evening at City Stadium in Richmond, Virginia, with heavy winds to start the match and rain coming down in the second half. Whitecaps FC assistant coach Carl Robinson led the 'Caps Reserves, naming a backline with Whitecaps FC U-23 defender Ethen Sampson in the starting lineup at right back and regular striker Tommy Heinemann in at centre back.
The Kickers, meanwhile, featured three MLS loaned players in their starting lineup, with D.C. United goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra in net and fellow D.C. United player Michael Seaton up top with Houston Dynamo striker Brian Ownby beside him.
The match started with the 'Caps on the front foot. Manneh tried the first shot barely two minutes in when he had a hit from outside the box, but his strike rolled well wide of goal.
The next 20 minutes were played largely in the middle of the park as both teams eased into the match.
The breakthrough for the 'Caps finally came on 22 minutes when Manneh stole the ball on the left, cut in and fired a low shot from the top of the box that beat Dykstra for a 1-0 lead.
The home side responded from going down a goal with more attacking intent. On 32 minutes midfielder Nate Robinson fired a hard shot from the right that barely flew past the near post. Then on 38 minutes Seaton got his head on the end of a cross and placed the ball down to Ownby, but the striker's shot sailed well over the net.
Despite continued pressure from the Kickers, the match went into halftime with the 'Caps holding on to their 1-0 lead.
The Kickers came out motivated after the break and found their equalizer nine minutes into the second half. Ownby broke down the left and centred a pass for Ngwenya, who finished with a quick tap-in to make it 1-1.
Richmond Kickers 1-1 Vancouver Whitecaps FC Reserves
Simon Thomas - a halftime sub in net for Brad Knighton - came up big on 59 minutes, first swatting out an Ownby cross, then tipping over a high shot from Henry Kalungi.
Richmond continued to mount the pressure throughout the half, but the 'Caps had a chance on 72 minutes when Adam Clement laid off for Aminu Abdallah at the top of the box, but the Ghanaian's shot went just wide of the far post.
The final minutes of the match were frantic with chances for each side in added time. First, Ownby collected the ball in the box and hit a wicked strike off the crossbar. Then, with only seconds remaining, Erik Hurtado whipped in a dangerous cross that was batted clear by Dykstra.
In the end, the match finished on level terms as the 'Caps left their first interleague match with a 1-1 draw.

"When you buy from an artist, you are buying more than an object. You are buying hundreds of hours of errors and experimentation. You are buying years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You're not buying just one thing, you are buying a piece of a heart, a piece of a soul... a small piece of someone else's life." - Unknown
The Print is the Performance
A print is the ultimate expression of a photograph. While browsing images on a computer monitor is nice, the true beauty of a photograph can only be realized by viewing it as a fine art print. Your investment in our prints transcends the fleeting satisfaction of viewing images on a computer or mobile device; a large fine art print provides viewing pleasure for you and your guests for years to come. If you like what you see on your computer monitor, a print will have you mesmerized. Especially when paired with acrylic, our prints have color so deep and dimensionality so real they have to be seen to be believed.
Highest Quality Paper
These are not prints you would expect from the photo lab around the corner... we use only the highest quality professional paper and press available, and adhere to the highest standards for printing in the industry. Fine Art Prints are printed on professional papers selected individually for each print. These papers have an incredible gloss which creates a depth and dimensionality with colors so rich and deep, they have to be seen to be believed. In proper lighting conditions, the details appear to emerge in 3D from the depths of the image to bring the landscape to life... the colors really jump off the print! Black and White prints are printed on Ilford Galerie Silk paper, long regarded as a top choice for monochrome prints.
Meticulous Attention to Detail
When purchasing a print from Exploring Light Photography, you can expect amazing color and detail as you would enjoy in a fine art gallery. Turnaround time is 2-4 weeks. This is because unlike automated print services, I prepare photographs to print for each order individually. This is a time consuming process which involves making changes in luminance, color and contrast based on the paper used, as well as sharpening for the final output print size. All of this takes time, but ensures that you will be thrilled with the final result.
Exclusive Limited Edition
Limited Edition prints (LEPs) are exhibition quality, gallery prints produced strictly and exclusively in editions of 200, 100, or 50. When the edition is sold out, no additional prints will ever be made. These prints are highly limited, and very exclusive. Each limited edition print captures a unique moment in nature, never to be seen again; your investment in our prints will not only grow as prices rise when prints sell through the edition, but will also provide a lifetime of viewing pleasure. Limited Edition Prints are registered and shipped with a hand signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA), which guarantees the original work. LEPs are priced according to the number remaining in the edition, with prices increasing in quartiles.
ARTIST EDITION prints: A small selection of our masterworks in the ONEVision™ Collection are available as Lumachrome HD acrylic mounted prints in editions of 15. A hand signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) designated "ONEVision Artist Edition," which guarantees the original work. Artist Edition Prints are designated numbers 11-25 in the edition when applicable.
ARTIST PROOF/RESERVES are designated numbers 1-10 or 1-25 and will be released at my discretion, usually when the edition has sold out. On occasion, Artist Reserve prints will be made available to the public in our Collector's Vault, or during special pre-release events.
UNIQUE EDITION prints are the MOST exclusive print anyone can own. Only ONE copy of this photograph will ever be printed. This is targeted strictly for art collectors or anyone who wants to own a one of a kind piece of fine art photography.
OPEN EDITION PRINTS are custom prints produced to the exact specifications as the Limited Edition Prints, but are not numbered nor of limited production. Open Edition Prints are sent with a signed, un-numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
Rights Managed Licenses

A Rights Managed License allows corporate clients exclusive use of an image on a per-use basis for a specified period of time. When an image is licensed, it will no longer be available until the contract expires.

Why not Royalty Free?
A Royalty Free license allows perpetual use for a small one time fee. There is no exclusivity and brand protection, nor conditions on the time, nature, or amount of use.
Many satisfied clients
Exploring Light Photography has sold many Rights Managed Licenses to a long list of corporate clients for many purposes including corporate decor, book covers, textbooks, and advertisements. Clients include Viacom, Amazon, British Airways, and many others. Our rights managed licenses are priced based on industry guidelines.

Option 3:
For custom ordering options such as size, finish, or other specific requirement, you may request a quote. I will personally work with you on your print order, and give my own advice regarding a particular photograph.
Typical turnaround time is 2-6 weeks. Large prints, acrylic mounted prints, and canvas prints typically have longer turnaround times. This is because unlike automated print services, I prepare photographs to print for each order individually. For larger prints, I will typically make test prints and send you a proof to ensure the final product lives up to your expectations. All of this takes time, but ensures that you will be thrilled with the final result.
Most prints are shipped flat using only archival packing material and reinforcements. Many large canvas and acrylic mounted prints are shipped in a custom crate. Included is a folio with information about your print and a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

My dad's favorite bread is the slightly sweet, slightly dense Swedish Rye Bread. So I adapted our family recipe for Swedish Rye for the bread machine, that means he can make it too! He's a popular guy at potlucks, now, walking in with a warm loaf of just-baked bread. All the widows swoon!
"I made your recipe for the rye bread and it came out perfect ..." ~ Pauline
"Just made bread by hand, tastes great." ~ Fishook
"... excellent. Slightly hearty, but at the same time very light, fluffy, moist and smooth." ~ Rosa's Yummy Yums
On cool Saturday mornings, the oven seems to plead, "Make bread! Please! Make bread!" Most loaves emerge plump and fragrant, demanding to be sliced and buttered on the spot.
Enter my summer nemesis, a bread machine borrowed to convert a recipe for Swedish rye, a family favorite.
What trouble! Only three of the first fourteen loaves were perfect. I made one silly mistake after another, like forgetting to insert the kneading blade or to press the Start button. From much trial and many errors, I learned that an automatic breadmaker certainly isn't goofproof.
I learned that the extra oomph in rapid-rise yeast creates a round top on heavy, European-style bread. I learned to store yeast at room temperature. I learned to open the lid during the first kneading cycle to scrape flour from the sides. Finally, I learned to close the lid, let the machine do its work and hope for perfection. Lucky you, I think I've got it. Here's the recipe, Swedish Rye Bread for the bread machine, along with the make-it-by-hand method, both work great.
Time to table: 3-1/2 hours
Makes a 1-1/2 pound loaf
- 1-1/4 cups (275g) warm tap water
- 1 tablespoon soft butter
- 1/2 tablespoon table salt
- 1/4 cup (70g) honey (or sorghum or part molasses)
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fennel seed or ground fennel or a blend
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway
- Zest of an orange
- 1-1/2 cups (190g) bread flour
- 1-1/2 cups (190g) rye flour
- 1 packet (2-1/4 teaspoons, 7g) rapid rise yeast
- Butter
Add ingredients in order listed, not letting yeast touch liquid. Set for white bread and light crust. When baked, transfer to a cooling rack, brush top with butter.
- 1 packet (2-1/4 teaspoons, 7g) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon warm tap water
- 1-1/4 cups (275g) warm tap water
- 1 tablespoon soft butter
- 1/2 tablespoon table salt
- 1/4 cup (70g) honey (or sorghum or part molasses)
- 1/4 cup brown (50g) sugar
- 2 tablespoons fennel seed or ground fennel or a blend
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway
- Zest of an orange
- 1-1/2 cups (190g) bread flour
- 1-1/2 cups (190g) rye flour
- Up to about 1 more cup bread flour, as needed
- Butter
In small bowl, proof yeast with sugar and 1 tablespoon warm water. (If it doesn't bubble up, the yeast is dead and you'll need to repeat this step with new yeast.)
In large mixing bowl, mix water, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, honey, brown sugar, fennel, caraway and orange zest with a wooden spoon. Gently stir in 1 cup bread flour and proofed yeast. Add remaining bread flour and rye flour until combined, then knead for 5 minutes, adding bread flour as needed.
Transfer to a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place til double. With a fist, gently deflate the dough. Form into a loaf, transfer to a greased loaf pan, cover and let rise in a warm place until double.
Heat oven to 375F. Bake loaf for 35 – 45 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, remove from pan, brush top with butter, finish cooling.
(2007) In Switzerland, Rosa's Yummy Yums wrote: "This Swedish Rye Bread is excellent ... slightly hearty, but at the same time ...very light, fluffy, moist and smooth. ... incredible and original flavor originates from the caraway/fennel seeds as well as the orange rind ... The crust is gorgeously crunchy and tasty ... not too dark, yet not plain at all, this loaf will [please those who like] white and brown breads [and] brioche type breads. A must-try for all of you bread addicts and homebakers!" See Rosa's beautiful loaves.
(2014) New to me! I love using a digital thermometer for meat but just now read about using the same technique for bread! I baked two round free-form loaves (see below) until the interior reached 190F. The bread was perfectly done, no more guesswork!
(2012 & 2014) Recipe updated.
Free-Form Loaves
Finally, I tried forming the dough into round loaves. The bread turned out beautifully! I made two round loaves, they took 30 minutes to bake.

Fennel seeds must add nice aroma and texture!! I could smell it right now!!YUM!!
I also love the butter bell. It has taken our guests awhile to figure it out. The water scares them. I like that when we go away for a week I don't have to put the butter in the fridge and them come home to stone hard butter and a desire for soft butter on bread.
Fennel wouldn't have occured to me, I' have to try it.
Oh, and I fixed the post you comment on. Thanks.
Chrispy ~ Please do, especially your own recipes.
Danielle ~ Thanks! I learn so much from others, it's nice to pass a little along.
Kevin ~ Fennel somehow turns Swedish rye into, well, Swedish rye!
I will leave out the fennel and make in the bread machine on the dough setting and bake it in a loaf pan.
So happy to have it back- It was a family recipe of a friend that baked it for Christmas.Back then it was easy to find Gold Medal rye and wheat flour already mixed half and half in 5 lb bags!! Thanks! So Much!!
I would appreciate if you share more recipes for the bread machine.
Post a Comment
Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna

Gravitational Waves
The universe is vibrating like the inside of a concert hall where the orchestra is just warming up — a symphony of overlapping waves rippling through space itself.
No one has yet detected a single ripple, but scientists are looking for them. And their discovery would tell us about some of the most energetic events in the universe — and about the nature of the universe itself.
The "ripples" are known as gravitational waves. They're predicted by general relativity — Albert Einstein's theory of gravity.
Alan Weinstein is a physics professor at Caltech and a member of a science team that's searching for these waves:
WEINSTEIN: Gravity is described, according to Einstein's equations, as a curvature of space. Actually, that's been well tested. We understand that very well. Gravitational waves is one of the major predictions that have not been tested. A gravitational field is a curvature of space, and a very rapidly changing gravitational field would produce ripples of curved space.
And David Reitze, also of Caltech, leads the team:
REITZE: The way to think about them is they're literally changes in the distances between two objects. If I take a ruler and a gravitational wave passes it, the ruler will stretch and compress as the gravitational wave passes it. They're produced from accelerating masses, so when a car drives down the road, if it's accelerating, it produces a gravitational wave. Unfortunately, that gravitational wave is very, very, very tiny. To detect measurable gravitational waves you need objects that are astrophysical. You need stellar-mass, super-stellar-mass objects that are moving near the speed of light.
More about that tomorrow.

DMVPN spokes can use either point-to-point GRE tunnels or multipoint GRE tunnel interface. Recently, I received a question regarding DMVPN.
In fact, the Reader asked me two questions: When is GRE used in network design? When is mGRE used in network design?
Answering the aforementioned questions are the basics that you must know if you are planning to design DMVPN network.

|Hand Carved Stone Marker
|Mass Manufactured Stone
Grave markers are the oldest form of funerary art. They have been used to mark burial locations since Celtic and Roman times. Gravestones and memorials differ widely depending on where they are located, the status of the person buried there, when they were erected, and if they were hand carved or ordered from a catalog.
|Vermont Marble Company
|Flint Granite Company
When someone died, the family usually went to the local stone carver to arrange for a grave marker to be made. Those who could afford it might order markers directly from stone quarries and monument companies in other states, possibly New Hampshire or Michigan for the best blue granite, or Vermont for exceptional marble. By ordering from the source of the stone, customers felt they were getting the best stone available.
|Monument with Statue
|Family Mausoleum
Affluent residents of the 1800's through the 1920's might have their graves marked with a large obelisk monument, a memorial with a statue, or a family mausoleum. Ornate and elaborate grave markers could tell the story of the deceased, or showcase the family's wealth.
|Abandoned Quarry
|Inside a Quarry
Markers were made from several types of stone including, field, slate, limestone, marble, and granite. Some were also created from metals such as zinc (White Bronze) or iron. Marble and granite were the most popular and durable of the stones used. Stone markers were quarried; hand carved with hammers and chisels, polished and then shipped to the local monument company or cemetery.
|Sears Roebuck Catalog
|Price Information
In 1902, Sears Roebuck offered a Tombstones and Monuments catalog from which anyone could select a grave marker. This put a reasonably priced, custom-ordered gravestone within the reach of almost everyone.
|Workmanship Guarantee
|Information on a product
Sears included a statement in the catalog that the stone used and the workmanship were both on par with the more exclusive monument and stone companies, but the prices were less expensive. However, Sears requested that the stone be paid for in full before being shipped.
|Marker for $4.88
In the 1902 catalog, Sears Roebuck prices began at $4.88 for a basic marker (without lettering, embellishments, larger stone orders, or shipping.) Sears also touted that their prices could be up to $150 less than those of a home monument company or stone carver. The idea of ordering by catalog caught on and many people began planning what they wanted their stones to say and deciding on which one they wanted.
|Catalog Tree Stone
|Options Available
The Sears Roebuck catalog offered a wide variety of products to choose from. Customers could select Blue Vein Marble from Vermont or White Acme Rutland Italian Marble; granite markers were also quarried in Vermont. Upright stones and those with some small sculptures were available. Even tree stone markers could be ordered, although the more ornate stones with statues, obelisks and mausoleums were not obtainable through the Sears Roebuck catalog.
|Montgomery Wards Catalog
Montgomery Wards also offered a catalog of Monuments, Tombstones and Markers. While Sears requested payment in full before shipping, Montgomery Wards offered an easy payment plan so that "You need not leave the grave of your loved one unmarked just because you haven't the money to pay the full price of a memorial stone."
|Red Barre Granite Markers
|Symbols & Emblems
Montgomery Wards also offered stones carved in Blue Vein Marble from Vermont, along with Red or Gray Barre Vermont granite. Lettering, symbols, and embalms were an extra charge, as were large stones, and shipping costs.
The Portrait Eternal stone was available in 1929 on which to preserve the "Likeness of Loved Ones" with a photo.
|Fencing, Benches and Vases
In the 1929 catalog, Montgomery Wards also offered iron fencing for the cemetery lot, wrought steel benches, and cemetery flower vases.
|Description of Granite
|J.E. Harrison & Son
Many stone and/or monument companies followed suit, offering catalogs to showcase what memorials were available and what the prices were. Most catalogs offered marble and granite stones.
|White Bronze marker
|Monumental Bronze Company
The Monumental Bronze Company also offered grave markers for sale, but these consisted of their custom line of White Bronze markers. These grave monuments were cast individually from zinc. Each monument was made to order, then assembled and shipped from one of the company's manufacturing plants. Sales of White Bronze monuments were popular from the 1880's to 1914.
By the 1930's, catalog sales of grave markers had decreased significantly. During the Depression and war years, many people could not afford hand carved, or even mass manufactured stones. The only option for many was to create a home-made grave marker by pouring concrete in a frame, or painting the deceased's on a rock.
|Laser Stencil
By the late 1960's, stone carvers had become a thing of the past, and mass produced headstones were the norm. But people no longer ordered them from catalogs. They now went to the local monument company and selected from what stones were offered there.
The era of individualist grave monuments; of small family mausoleums, soaring obelisks, and intricate statues was over. Catalog grave markers had heralded in a new age.

It's Earth Day, which means it's a day to think about how our choices affect this big beautiful place we call home: our planet.
And for me, that ultimately comes down to Slow Luxe Design. Whether I'm designing for myself or for clients, I think the epitome of sustainability is inheritability.
I believe that living with fewer items of higher quality–things that are timeless and enduring–now, that is truly green design. When you have something that is worthy of passing down to a future generation–something that was carefully chosen, handcrafted, and carries a story with it–I say that's true sustainability. I also happen to think that it's a great luxury.
Happy Earth Day!
