I went with LC because I find them so beautiful. I so enjoy the food cooked in them delicious and I never tire of looking at them. It took me a very long time to make myself spend that much on a pot. But it has been well worth it. I just tuck away a little money until I have enough for another pot. But if I could not afford an LC, I would not hesitate to get one of the ones at Walmart. I really, really like enameled CI dutch ovens.
Do you wash your SS cookware in the dishwasher?
In my new house, I now have my first dishwasher. I know something's can be ruined in the dishwasher, so I have been reluctant to put my tri ply SS cookware in there. About the only think I have put in the dishwasher is my dishes (stoneware) and anything glass, and my SS eating utensils. I know not to put aluminum in there, and I don't put plastic in there either. But I am thinking the SS cookware should be ok. What about copper?
>For the model number, sometimes they're on the inside side of the oven or broiler door.<
My stove is separate for the oven. It's strange. The stove is gas and made by Kitchenaid. The oven is electric - Jen-Air. Not sure about the built in microwave. The refridgerator, which I don't like the style of (don't like the freezer drawer on the bottom, AT ALL), is Amana, the disposal is Kenmore and the dishwasher is Kitchenaid. I guess they were not hung up on any particular brand. LOL. Except the Jen-Air oven. Previous owner said she would def get another one. She loved it.
Thanks for all the cleaning tips. I will be waiting until the weather warms up, so I can take the grates outside. But I so love the gas range. My favorite thing in the kitchen. Like cooking over a camp fire or something. Oh and there is a wood burning stove for heating in the family room. Can't wait to set a pot of beans or stew on that baby. The 'polar vortex' hit before we could get the chimney cleaned and some wood brought in. So it may be next winter before we can put that to good use.
>If your vent fan blows out into the kitchen it's probably going through a filter and you're fine. Run the filters through the dishwasher often.<
There is some kind of filter and a light over the stove. When I was cleaning the tops of the cabinets, it was a bit sticky and beginning to collect a lot of dust. So the previous owner used it. I need to take the filter down and have a look at it. Ahhhh and running through the dishwasher sounds great. Another fun use for the dishwasher. I am having so much fun with that dishwasher. Especially now that I discovered that putting the rinse aid in there really improves the performance. We have a well for our water and the previous owners installed a water softener system for the water. I guess the water has high mineral content. Anyway, it seems to clean everything so much better. The dishes and my clothes. I just have to remember to use a lot less detergents. Same for shampooing my hair. I love the well water, but do have some concerns about the softening system. It is done with salt and I can't help but believe that we are drinking sodium in our water. The water even has a slight salty taste. I will have to investigate that more. Also got to figure out how to get the water tested for harmful things. It sure does taste good though.
>We also run our grates thru dishwasher<
Do they not rust? This is a Kitchenaid range. Don't know where I might find the model number. Maybe I could look up a manual for it.
Oh. And I am puzzled about the exhaust fan over the stove. It does not go anywhere but blows out above the cabinets. I have 10ft ceilings, so there is maybe 2 ft or so of space above the cabinet. But what good is an exhaust fan if it does not exhaust outside the house? Reminds me of smoking sections in a restaurant that was in the same room as the non smoking section. How does that help anything? The smoke is still in the room.
I have moved into a new house (well new to us. the house is about 7 years old) that has a gas range. This is my first experience with a gas range and I am LOVING it. However, the grates have some build up of grease that I would like to clean off. Not sure how the best way because I don't know what the grates are made of. They look and feel like cast iron. And I don't know if they are coated with anything. I have put some 409 on them and scrubbed with a green scrub pad. It helped, but I would still like to get some of the sticky off. It reminds me of when I don't leave my CI pans baking long enough and the seasoning layer is sticky, instead of hard.
Grinding and Sanding and Reseasoning New Lodge Cast Iron Pieces
>A pan is just a tool, not a work of art, and it works fine with an imperfect cooking surface.<
And I would add that if it is working fine, then the surface is perfect.
Cast Iron Skillet [moved from Ontario]
Oh another note. My family loves the food cooked in CI (though not enough to do it themselves :o)) I cooked our Christmas breakfast for the first time Both my parents and mother in law passed away in 2013. (been a very hard year and sad holiday year. Christmas always revolved around both my mother and mother in law) So Christmas was at my house this year. And I fried the potatoes and made the gravy in the CI. My son-in-law and daughters commented on just how good the potatoes were. I said it was the CI. You just can't get really good fried potatoes in a Teflon coated electric skillet. That was what my MIL used because the electric skillet was so much bigger than her CI skillet. She had switched to the bigger skillet when the family began to grow so big. Also the CI was getting too heavy for her as she got older and more feeble. Even my mother had switched to Teflon skillets because they were just easier to deal with.
Cast Iron Skillet [moved from Ontario]
I grew up in the south. Tennessee, to be exact. Cast Iron skillets and kettles were all I knew for years. I grew up eating food cooked in it. Enameled metal pots and some stainless pots for boiling food and sometimes a tin pan for baking. But CI was used for baking too. I did not even know cornbread could be cooked in anything but a CI skillet. I learned to cook in CI as a young girl. I also learned to respect the intense heat of CI too. Many pot holders were scorched by CI and I learned that skin could be branded with CI.
Grinding and Sanding and Reseasoning New Lodge Cast Iron Pieces
I don't sand my new Lodge skillets. I have not found it necessary. However, I do bake off that seasoning that comes on it, because it never holds up for me. I also put 4 or 5 seasoning layers on before I try to cook in it. Then I will scrub with a stainless steel pad and re-season. Often when the pan is new, then only scrub as needed as time goes on. I can slide an egg out of my brand new Lodge skillet after about 4 seasoning layers, a good scrub and a couple of bakings of cornbread. Then take off from there. The extreme roughness will be gone by then and I am just left with a few smooth bumps that continues to get smoother. Christmas morning I fried hashbrown potatoes in two big Lodge skillets at the same time. One skillet was about 35 years old, the other about 4 years old. Potatoes turned out exactly the same in both skillets. Same for the milk gravy I made for the biscuits. Yep, same results for the eggs I cooked too. I get the same results using a very old unmarked, very smooth, lighter weight skillet and my 4 year old lodge skillet. The non stick quality is the same on both. Food turns out just the same. That is, as long as I remember that the antique skillet is thinner and adjust my heat and cooking accordingly.
Le Creuset interior discolored by NoKnead Bread - please help
>I stopped worrying years ago about my Le Creuset being discolored. Consider it a badge of honor that shows you actually use the cookware<
Ditto for me. My 4.5 qt that I use most often is discolored. it started when I slightly scorched some white beans and has remained the same. I finally got over it. The pot still cooks as good as it ever did. The only cookware that stays looking brand spanking new, it the cookware you don't use. Just like everything else in life. I figure a couple generations from now, what we think is a new, scorched pot, others will see it as an old pot with character.
So, if All-Clad isn't the beat all end all, what is?
I just moved into a new house with a gas stove and I love it! All my 53 years, all I have ever known was electric coil. Now induction is new and cool, I suppose. But I bet ya can't roast marshmallows and hot dogs over the burner.................;o)
oh, and I am trying to figure out which one would go with kiwi the best.
How does the Fennel compare to the Rosemary in color? Looking on the computer, I can't tell much difference in them.
Testing (debunking?) the flaxseed method for seasoning cast iron
>I basically agree with you. However not everyone fries in bacon grease or lard. That was the reason I wanted to try flaxseed oil for seasoning.<
So you fry in flaxseed oil? I don't fry in bacon grease or lard either, but I season my pans with it.
The seasoning layer that comes on the CI when it is new, is a very thin layer. In my experience, it does not stay on very good either. I always scrub or bake it off and start over. When I don't, it comes off after a few cooking anyway. With that said, I always bake on 4 or 5 layers of seasoning before I use the pan. Then I will add a layer after using a time or two. Depending on what I cooked in it. After that, I just periodically bake on a new layer as needed. I always use lard or bacon grease. It just works better. I don't often cook in lard, but I do season my pans with it. I cook in coconut or grapeseed oil most of the time. But neither makes a good seasoning layer. I also wash and scrub my pans with dish soap when needed. Yes, the scrubbing wears away the seasoning layers, but it makes for a nice smooth surface over time. Washing does not wash off seasoning layers. Only washes off the oils, fats and food you were just cooking. Been cooking in cast iron for over 30 years and this method has worked just fine. I can cook the most delicate of eggs without it sticking one bit. Even on new Lodge pans.
Who here Oils their Wooden Utensils....
I don't oil my wooden spoons. I buy the small cheap kind and as they get worn, I use them for other things (like stirring the horse feed, propping open a window, etc) then I just buy some more cheap ones for the kitchen. I baught some nice wooden utensils, once. It was not long, before they begin to split. I had even oiled them. I did not really like them much. They were to thick and chunky. I seldom if ever oiled my cheap ones. They last a long time. I usually replace them due to staining, not splitting.
CHOW Reviews: Lodge Logic 12-Inch Cast Iron Pan
I have both newer lodge CI and smooth as a baby's butt vintage CI. I find what ever I cook in either, turns out exactly the same. My vintage, smooth CI is no more non stick than my, not as smooth, newer lodge CI. The only difference, that I can tell is that my vintage CI, is lighter in weight.
What specifically about a dishwasher is damaging to cookware?
I have had the problem of paint coming off my glass measuring cups with hand washing. I don't even have a dishwasher. The only thing I can think that may cause this, is leaving them in soapy water too long.
Same here Rasp. I always cook for leftovers and use big pots. I use my 4.5 qt LC the most for dried beans. Makes enough for my husband and I to eat on for about 3 or 4 days. My 7.5qt is used for big batches of chili, soups and stews. If I need more, I will use my 4.5 qt too. I think an LC bigger than 7.5 would be more than I want to handle. I have to wash my 7.5 in the bath tub as it is. I also use my lower sided wide round oven a lot too. It is the size that was discontinued. I think it is 6.5. The only other size I want is a 5.5 qt and the cast iron rectangle baker. Since having my LC, I seldom use my bare lodge DO. I only use it to roast or braise meat. And for convenience sake, I often go with my slow cooker for that. Though cooking in the CI def taste better.
Yea. The end grain board absorbing and holding odors caught me off guard. Took forever to get rid of the onion smell. I could smell that board the minute I stepped in the house. I have put that knowledge to good use. I now periodically wipe my end grain board down with a lime. I love that smell. And taste.
cast iron pans are great - REALLY????
Ok. I won't fight for $20.00, but they can't have $100. After all, I gotta have enough left to by me another purse to replace the one they took. :o). And true about the casserole dishes. A few years ago, no one would think of keeping someone's dish. But now days, even at my church, they some times disappear. Even with a name on it. And it seems if I ever loan stuff to people, I don't get it back. Or if I do get it back, it is NOT in the same shape as it was. People just don't have respect for others or their property any more. Maybe because we live in such a disposable world. The mindset seems to be that everything (and sometimes everyone) is disposable and replaceable). I keep my cell phone until it won't work any more. My computer has just now crashed, after 12 years. And we have a 1995 ford areostar that we still drive. It will be driven until it is ready for the scrap yard. I even have the same husband of 34 years. Lol.
Oh, and I forgot to say that Inalways cut directly on my wood boards. If Inwanted to cut on plastic. Inwould have plastic boards instead of wood. If the cut marks bother you, you can sand them periodically. The only thing Indo no longer cut on my end grain, is onions and garlic. My end grain board absorbs and holds those odors. So I use my face grain board for that. It does not hold the odor. But every thing else, meats,!veggies, and fruits get cut up on my Boardsmith board.
I too am the proud owner of a Boardsmith end grain board. The quality is top notch. Before my BS end grain, I used (and still do, sometimes) ordinary wood boards from any 'mart store. They are the wood strips, face grain boards that look like wood floors. They work just fine. But the joy comes from my BoardSmith board. Just like I cooked ok in my stainless steel and bare cast iron pots. But oh the joy of cooking in my Le Creuset enameled Dutch ovens. Sorta like an inexpensive car will get you where you want to go, but a Corvette, or Cadellac makes it more enjoyable.:o). But at the end of the day, it is what you want and what you need. I prefer my Ford fx4 to corvettes and cadellacs.
cast iron pans are great - REALLY????
Everything goes good with cornbread :o). Well, everything southern. Bar-b-q, dried beans, turnip greens, tomatoes, Mexican food, steak and gravy, fried fish, etc. My parents generation would put left over cornbread in buttermilk and eat as a late snack. When I wanted dessert, but we didn't have any. My dad would crumble up warm cornbread on my plate, add butter and pour corn syrup over it, then mix it all up. It was wonderful. I guess it would be like a cornbread pancake. Fry cornbread in a CI skillet (like a pancake) and you get hoe cakes. They are great for topping with stuff or making a sandwich with. Cornbread is wonderful with soups and beef stew.
cast iron pans are great - REALLY????
If you use your cast iron often, the oils won't have time to go rancid. I use my little 8 inch skillet everyday so oils do not have time to go rancid. Back when I cooked everyday foe my family, I too, would just wipe the crumbs out of my skillet, I used for cornbread. I never washed it, just wiped out the crumbs and spread the left over bacon grease. I find that the animal grease does not seem to go rancid as fast as the veg. oils. (Except coconut oil) But they do go rancid. All my oils, except the coconut oil, is kept in my fridge. And even then, I usually throw them out due to rancidity, before I use them up.
cast iron pans are great - REALLY????
Trust me. Peanut oil goes rancid too. Even in the fridge. Takes longer, but it does go rancid. I can smell rancid oil immediately. Once walked in front of a booth at the flea market that was full of cast iron pieces. I smelled those rancid pans before I ever saw the booth. I could have found that booth in the dark.
cast iron pans are great - REALLY????
I learned a long time ago to never loan your good tools. Be it a wrench, knife or favorite cooking pot. I don't even take my favorite dishes to church dinners. I keep cheap tools just for loaning and taking places. I don't even shop with cards and cash in my wallet or purse. (Except for about 20.00 or 30.00$) that way if some one demands my purse or wallet. They can have it.
cast iron pans are great - REALLY????
All oils will go rancid on the pan if you put it on the pan and don't either bake it in right away or use the pan for cooking very often. I never leave my pans coated in grease or oil that has not been baked on. Just like veg oil on wooden bowls and cutting boards go rancid. Not only does it go rancid, it turns into a sticky gummy mess that attracts dust. It is not necessary to oil a well seasoned cast iron pan. Inhave old cast iron pans in the back of my cabinet that has not been used in years. There is no rust. All they need is washing and they are ready to cook in. I have found peanut oil to work fine for baking on a pan for a seasoning layer. In fact it is the only veg oil outside of crisco shortening that I believe is sufficient. However, lard is what I prefer to use.
I don't really want an over 30 year old house. That is what I have now. But for the right price and 30 or more acres, I might would go for it. My exhaust fan is over my stove and is piped through the ceiling into the attic, then the roof vents take it out from there. I know some stoves have a vent in the stove that takes it down and I don't know where it goes from their. Maybe the crawl space if there is one. I will deal with it if necessary. I was just surprised. Guess I could always open all the windows and set a fan in front of the window and blow the kitchen air out. Lol.

- October 2014: The School of Night. "Black is the badge of Hell; the hue of dungeons and the School of Night." Queen Elizabeth's realm lies vulnerable, not just to the Spanish or the plague, but to occult forces perhaps more dangerous than either. You study those forces at the risk of torture — at the risk of your soul — but you must hold them at bay or see England destroyed. This GUMSHOE campaign frame sets the PCs on the stage with John Dee, Christopher Marlowe, and Sir Walter Raleigh … and perhaps with traitors in their ranks.
- September 2014: Hideous Creatures: Lloigor. "You make the usual mistake — of thinking of them as being like ourselves. They weren't." God or monster? Species or phenomenon? Dragon or disc — or discontinuity? Invisible, invulnerable, inexplicable — the vile vortices of the lloigor encompass all and care for nought.
- August 2014: Xeno-Archaeology! "No other ancient city on Mars had been laid out in that manner; and the strange, many-terraced buttresses of the thick walls, like the stairways of forgotten Anakim, were peculiar to the prehistoric race that had built Yoh-Vombis." From the Face on Mars to Precursor artifacts orbiting dead quasars, the mysteries of space aren't all astrophysical. For some answers, you have to dig. Ruins — of cities, starships, and planets — hold danger and horror, riches and knowledge. What a lost species or a cunning GM can build, bold exo-archaeologists and their players can uncover.
- July 2014: Hideous Creatures: Serpent Folk. "The features mingled and merged in a seemingly impossible manner. Then, like a fading mask of fog, the face suddenly vanished and in its stead gaped and leered a monstrous serpent's head!" They built Valusia before the dinosaurs, and lurk behind half mankind's darkest cults. Are they extra-dimensional, extra-terrestrial, or just extra venomous? You won't fool the Children of Yig, in any skin they wear.
- June 2014: GUMSHOE Zoom: Voodoo 2: The Invisibles. The Invisibles, more than spirits and a little less than gods, can fit inside stones, trees, and their servitors' heads — but not into just one issue of KWAS! Whether you call them Loa or Orisha, these mighty beings demand your attention and your sacrifice, but give you hidden knowledge and awaken your interior fires. This second issue of our two-issue Voodoo series gives you plenty of Invisibles to summon, battle, invoke, and ally with whether you're hunting Dagon in Haiti or rogue programs on your starship.
- May 2014: GUMSHOE Zoom: Voodoo 1: Magic. The first of a new series of GUMSHOE Zooms looking at historical magic traditions — and giving you the tools and rules to evoke these puissant powers in your own game! This first issue in a two-issue series examines sympathetic magic and zombies, and Zooms in on the Afro-Caribbean magical-religious complex encompassing Vodoun, Candomble, Santeria, Obeah, and Palo Mayombe. The loa ride in May!
- April 2014: Hideous Creatures: Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath. "Worlds of sardonic actuality impinging on vortices of febrile dream – Iä! Shub-Niggurath! The Goat with a Thousand Young!" Are they nameless horrors or numbered servitors, Druidic nightmares or ab-natural abominations? Where do they grow, and on what loathsome food do they thrive? Follow them to Hell and Hydra, or to Mormo and Monsanto.

I came up with a new game-show idea recently. It's called The Old Game. You got three old guys with loaded guns onstage. They look back at their lives, see who they were, what they accomplished, how close they came to realizing their dreams. The winner is the one who doesn't blow his brains out. He gets a refrigerator.

The Evolution of the Development Doctrine, 1950-2005
AbstractThe evolution of the development doctrine over the last six decades is analysed in some detail in this paper. The development doctrine is defined as the body of knowledge consisting of four interrelated components: (1) the prevailing development objectives; (2) the conceptual state of the art relating to development theories, models, techniques and applications; (3) the underlying data system; and (4) the resulting development strategy. The main contributions and changes in these four components are traced through, decade by decade, starting with the 1950s.

|Interference and Shadow Effects in the Production of Light by Charged Particles in Optical Fibers
|X. Artru1C. Ray1
|A charged particle passing through or near a narrow optical fiber induces, by polarisation, coherent light guided by the fiber. In the limit of zero crossing angle, the radiation tends towards a Cherenkov radiation with a discrete spectrum, studied by different authors. If the particle crosses a bent fiber at regularly spaced points, interference gives quasi-monochromatic lines. If the particle passes near an end of the fiber, light is produced by the capture of virtual photons through the end face. An alternative way consists in sticking a metallic ball to the fiber: the passing particle induces plasmons which are then evacuated as light in the fiber. Interferences can occur between lights from several ends or balls. Applications of these various light signals to beam diagnostics are discussed. The shadow effect, which reduces the photon yield when the particle runs parallel to a row of balls, is pointed out and an upper bound $-dE/dz\le C(Ze/b)^2$ for the particle energy loss is conjectured ($Ze$ is the particle charge, $b$ the impact parameter and $C$ a numerical constant). This bound should also apply to other kinds of light sources, in particular to Smith-Purcell radiation.

Driving down a side street of U.S. 41 in Marietta, blink and you just might miss it; it's little more than a brick shack. But walk into the Red Eyed Mule on a Saturday morning and you will see that plenty of locals are able to find the place just fine.
More commonly referred to by regulars simply as "the Mule," what lies behind those unassuming brick walls may surprise you.
Run by the soon-to-be husband-and-wife team of Joe Woods and Sabra Wessell, this cash-only hole in the wall has been serving breakfast and lunch in Marietta since January 2010. Open only until to 2 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays, this little dive serves up a stripped-down menu of breakfast sandwiches and a lunch menu that features only a few burgers, a chicken sandwich and a daily soup.
The small free-standing building, oddly placed in the middle of the parking lot of Marietta Feed & Seed, dates to the 1930s, when it housed the superintendent of a neighboring mill. Since then it has served as everything from a storage shed to a package store, sitting vacant until Woods and Wessell found it in 2009.
Some may lament the slow death of Southern hospitality as Atlanta becomes home to more out-of-towners, but it is surely alive and well at the Mule. Even when the counter is full and the kitchen staff scrambles to keep up, Woods and Wessell do not miss an opportunity to welcome you like a regular. As soon as we begin to look over the menu – a sure sign that we don't come here often – Woods cheerfully jumps to attention. Too genuine to be overbearing, he asks had we been in before, explains the specials and gives us pointers. Between the converted-garage decor and the friendly service, the Mule certainly doesn't lack for charm.
For those hailing from across town, however, it takes more than charm to justify the trip. Fortunately, the Mule isn't too shabby in the kitchen, either.
Aside from the occasional special, such as chicken and waffles or corned beef and hash, breakfast sandwiches and biscuits make up the morning menu. Wessell's family recipe provides the base for the airy and buttery biscuits made in-house each morning. They are a welcome reprieve from some of the dense, gummy versions popularized in Atlanta these days. Breakfast at the Mule doesn't reinvent the wheel, instead offering well-made classics such as a fried chicken ($2.95) or bacon biscuit ($2.79). A split and griddled kielbasa link adds nice smoky tones to the smoked sausage and egg sandwich ($3.95) served on buttered and grilled Texas toast.
While breakfast certainly satisfies, the Mule does its best work at lunch. The burgers caught me off-guard. Of the five beef burgers on the menu, the baseline Jake burger ($3.95) offers the simplicity of a fresh Angus chuck patty served on that buttery Texas toast, and things build from there, with each choice adding another layer of toppings. While the more stripped-down choices like that or the Jake Burger Deluxe ($4.15) – a Jake burger plus lettuce, tomato and onion – are enjoyable enough in their own right, it isn't until I'm introduced to Sloppy Jimmy that the Mule really sets itself apart.
Woods' own concoction of coarse-ground chorizo and beef, this chili-like topping adds a memorable kick to the burgers and features prominently in the rest of the lineup. I'm sure to return for another helping of the aptly named Jake's Sloppy Slaw burger ($5.25), a deliciously messy stack of lettuce, tomato, onion, homemade coleslaw and a heap of that irresistible Sloppy Jimmy. The melding of the sweet, tangy slaw, buttery toast and savory chili makes for a filling and glorious burger. The only slightly more monstrous Jake's Big Daddy ($5.43) adds a fried egg instead of slaw. Unless napping on the job is an option for you, consider saving that one for lunch on an off day.
Of course, some things could use a little work. I could do without the undersize patty hiding inside the sausage biscuit ($2.79), and the country ham packs too much salt, even for my sodium-loving palate. But these grievances are minor on an otherwise consistent menu.
Breakfast at the Mule, while satisfying, lacks the wow factor that merits a trek across town, but it certainly deserves regular visits if you're in the area. Burger fans across the metro area, however, should place the Red Eyed Mule high on their to-do lists.THE RED EYED MULE 1405 Church St. Extension, Marietta. 678-809-4546

"Breakfast at the Mule, while satisfying, lacks the wow factor that merits a trek across town, but it certainly deserves regular visits if you're in the area."
Don't really mean to start another thread on the rating system, but isn't that the exact definition of a 2-star rating? Yet, it gets a 3-star.

3 Stars = "Burger fans across the metro area, however, should place the Red Eyed Mule high on their to-do lists."

I agree Chris. The rating system lacks consistency, as evidenced by Jon rating of 3 stars for burgers and biscuits, and John Kessler gives Table & Main 2 stars. I haven't been to The Red Eyed Mule, and I'm sure everything is as good as described, but come on – the overall experience cannot be better than Table & Main.

Wallet Returned With Contents 6 Years After Theft
November 14, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
WALSRODE, Germany (UPI) — A German retiree whose wallet was stolen six years ago said the thief returned the wallet with extra money added as an apology.
Peter Jurgensen, 73, said his wallet was stolen at a supermarket in Walsrode in March 2007 and it contained his credit card, ID, photos of his grandchildren and $471 cash, The Local.de reported Thursday.
Jurgensen said he did not realize his wallet was gone until a few hours later and he forgot about the incident after replacing it and its contents.
The pensioner told the Bild newspaper he was surprised to be reminded of the stolen wallet recently when it was mailed to his home along with all of its contents and an apology letter.
"Greed drove me to taking the wallet," the thief wrote. "I have become a confessed Christian. The holy spirit has called upon me to repair the damage."
The thief included an extra $67 with the wallet as a means of apology.
"Everything was in the wallet as I left it. I thank the man for his belated honesty," Jurgensen said.

avenues exist for qualifying junior or senior environmental studies majors to conduct
original research on an environmental topic under the supervision of an Environmental
Studies Council faculty member. The senior project enables students to acquire three
to six hours of credit while conducting research during the course of the senior
year. In addition, Randolph-Macon's Schapiro Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)
program provides qualified rising juniors or seniors with a stipend and housing
to conduct research during the summer before the junior or senior year. Example
research projects conducted by Environmental Studies students include:

Okay, wow, I am doing so many things on my bucket list on the weekends, lately. I have been a fan of The Rocky Horror Picture Show since I was a sophomore in high school. I had my two best friends over to my house on my sixteenth birthday and we had been at the mall earlier and bought a couple of movies to watch that night. I came across Rocky Horror and remembered it from when I had read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but had no idea what it actually was. It must have been pretty cheap, cause I bought it on a whim and then we started our night with it.
And, wow.
What a long, strange, wonderful journey.
We were—or, I was at least—wary when the opening sequence and the bright red lips came on, but by the first line of "Dammit, Janet," we were infatuated. By "The Time Warp," we were in love. So, I've loved Rocky Horror for awhile. I watched the Glee episode. I've talked about dressing up as Magenta for years. But, I've never been to a live show. So, when I heard that our student enter here was putting on a live show, I jumped right on that crazy train. It was amazing! The minute we walked in I knew that it was going to be good from the Magenta and Riff Raff who greeted us at the door in character to the packed theater. The cast was phenomenal, the audience was hyped-up and excited and the overall experience was three of my favorite things: funny, dirty and stimulating. Overall, and I think this may be with most live performances of the show from what I've heard about it, it just felt like a very shared experience. It wasn't like some movies or shows that you go to and only some of the people get the jokes or references, or they only laugh occasionally. We all laughed together as a group, with each other, at each other, at the same jokes.
I'm glad that I went. I really, really, really hope that they do it again soon, so that I can go again. I would seriously recommend that if you have the chance to go to a show that you do. It was a really nice way to spend a Saturday night overall.

Garrett Starkey '07
Randolph-Macon College alumnus Garrett Starkey '07 is an Automated
Clearing House (ACH) and wire transfer supervisor at TowneBank in Portsmouth, Virginia.
The economics/business major got
a jump-start on his career with the help of R-MC's
internship and study-abroad programs.
During his junior year at R-MC, he participated in a January Term (J-term)
internship at the corporate office of Dominic's of New York. Starkey worked in the
marketing department, preparing instruction manuals for franchise owners and conducting
surveys of the company's market demographic.
The following year, Starkey traveled to England in conjunction with a J-term economics
class. The mini-immersion experience gave him a global perspective.
"I had the rare opportunity to explore another economic culture," recalls Starkey,
who minored in accounting. "I learned not
only about the complexity of English economics, but also about the rich history
of England. We attended classes taught by a British professor, sat in on lectures
given by British economists, and toured some of the most famous English landmarks.
Without question, this travel course one of my favorite and most fulfilling experiences
of my college career."
In his fast-paced position at TowneBank, Starkey helps facilitate worldwide electronic
"Working in the banking industry requires financial and economic know-how," he says.
"But being successful also requires leadership and good communication skills—both
of which I developed at Randolph-Macon."
For Starkey, a Randolph-Macon liberal arts education is never-ending.
"With a multi-faceted education, the possibilities are endless," he says. "At R-MC,
I was involved in numerous clubs and organizations,
which taught me critical lessons. The connections I made with my college friends
are vital to me, and seeing how successful my fellow alumni are motivates me to
keep pace with them."
Paving the Way for Success
Rather than prepare students for one career, Randolph-Macon College prepares students
for a lifetime of careers in an ever-changing world. Exceptional faculty work with
students to cultivate their ability to think critically and analytically and to
find creative solutions for solving problems. R-MC graduates are well-prepared for
successful careers, often far outside of their areas of study.
The Randolph-Macon EDGE, the
cornerstone of the Center for Personal and Career
Development, helps Randolph-Macon students lead the pack when competing
for jobs and top graduate schools. Students have the support of faculty, career
coaches, alumni and staff as they focus on their personal and academic ambitions.
Students may choose to pursue paid or volunteer internships in a wide variety of
settings. The Bassett Internship Program
has been successfully placing students in academic internships both in the U.S.
and around the globe for 30 years. Coordinated with the Center for Personal and
Career Development, the program helps students identify their interests and matches
them with an appropriate internship opportunity. Randolph-Macon's alumni provide
a strong network of support for students throughout their time at the college or
in assisting them after graduation with career direction and opportunities.
The college's Four-Year Degree
Guarantee guarantees in writing that freshmen who meet the Four-Year Degree
Guarantee requirements will graduate within four calendar years. If not, Randolph-Macon
will waive tuition costs for courses needed to complete the degree. Currently, 95
percent of R-MC graduates complete their degree in four years or less—an important
value-added benefit for parents to consider when visiting colleges with their students.
Study Abroad programs offer students
a beyond-the-classroom global perspective and opportunities to immerse themselves
in other cultures. Students can choose from a host of travel courses during January
Term and semester-abroad programs.
The Schapiro Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)
program gives students the opportunity to conduct 10 weeks of original research
under the guidance of faculty mentors. Many students present their findings at national
and international conferences.

The tanagers (sg. /ˈtænədʒər/) comprise the bird family Thraupidae, in the order Passeriformes. The family has an American distribution. Thraupidae is the second largest family of birds and represents about 4% of all avian species and 12% of the Neotropical avifauna.[1] There were traditionally about 240 species of tanagers, but the taxonomic treatment of this family's members is currently in a state of flux. As more of these birds are studied using modern molecular techniques it is expected that some genera may be relocated elsewhere. Already species in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia, which were once considered part of the tanager family, are now treated as members of Fringillidae, in their own subfamily (Euphoniinae). Likewise the genera Piranga (which includes the Scarlet Tanager, Summer Tanager, and Western Tanager), Chlorothraupis, and Habia appear to be members of the Cardinal family,[2] and have been reassigned to that family by the AOU.
Tanagers are small to medium-sized birds. The shortest-bodied species, the White-eared Conebill, is 9 cm (3.8 in) long and weighs 7 grams, barely smaller than the Short-billed Honeycreeper. The longest, the Magpie Tanager is 28 cm (11 in) and weighs 76 grams (2.7 oz). The heaviest is the White-capped Tanager which weighs 114 grams (4 oz) and measures about 24 cm (9.5 in). Both sexes are usually the same size and weight. Tanagers are often brightly colored, but some species are black and white. Birds in their first year are often duller or a different color altogether. Males are typically more brightly coloured than females.
Most tanagers have short, rounded wings. The shape of the bill seems to be linked to the species' foraging habits.
Tanagers are restricted to the New World and mainly to the tropics. About 60% of tanagers live in South America, and 30% of these species live in the Andes. Most species are endemic to a relatively small area.
Most tanagers live in pairs or in small groups of 3-5 individuals. These groups may consist simply of parents and their offspring. Birds may also be seen in single species or mixed flocks. Many tanagers are thought to have dull songs, though some are elaborate[citation needed].
Tanagers are omnivorous, and their diet varies from genus to genus. They have been seen eating fruits, seeds, nectar, flower parts and insects. Many pick insects off branches. Other species look for insects on the underside of leaves. Yet others wait on branches until they see a flying insect and catch it in the air. Many of these particular species inhabit the same areas, but these specializations alleviate competition.
The breeding season begin in March through until June in temperate areas and in September through October in South America. Some species are territorial while others build their nests closer together. There is little information on tanager breeding behavior or whether they are monogamous or polygamous. Males show off their brightest feathers to potential mates and rival males. Some species' courtship rituals involve bowing and tail lifting.
Most tanagers build cup nests on branches in trees. Some nests are almost globular. Entrances are usually built on the side of the nest. The nests can be shallow or deep. The species of the tree they choose to build their nest in and the nest's position varies among genera. Most species nest in an area hidden by very dense vegetation. There is still no information on the nests of some species.
The clutch size is 3–5 eggs. The female incubates the eggs and builds the nest, but the male may feed the female while she incubates. Both sexes feed the young. Five species have helpers assist in feeding the young. These helpers are thought to be the previous year's nestlings.
Phylogenetic studies suggest the true tanagers form three main groups two of which consist of several smaller, well-supported clades.[3] The list below is an attempt using information gleaned from the latest studies to organise them into coherent related groups, and as such may contain groupings not yet accepted by or are under review by the various ornithological taxonomy authorities.[4]
Mainly dull-coloured forms
a) Conebill and flowerpiercer group (Also contains Haplospiza, Catamenia, Acanthidops, Diglossa, Diglossopis, Phrygilus and Sicalis[5] traditionally in the Emberizidae)[6] This group despite having a rather varied bill morphology shows marked plumage similarities. Most are largely grey, blue, or black, and numerous have rufous on the underparts:
b) True seedeaters. Traditionally placed in Emberizidae. These genera share a particular foot-scute pattern which suggests that they may form a monophyletic group:[10]

Excellent pencil!! I enjoy writing with it and it looks great. I normally use 0.7 or 0.9 so I think I will need to order some harder leads. Or they could make a 0.7 and 0.9 versions!

A very nice pen. It feels very good in your hand even though it does not have a gel type grip. The ribbed metal grip actually feels soft (somehow) and the 1.0 writes very smooth. Looking for the blue gel ink to match the color trim on it.
Bought it and a pen version..., July 23, 2010
Bought it and a pen version also. Has a very nice feel especially for a non gel type grip. Somehow the barrel feels soft to me, weird in a good way. I am hoping they will come out with a 0.9.
Read the reviews and..., July 20, 2010
Read the reviews and took a shot, I like it, it is different but fun to write with. I'd love to buy an all metal one if I could find it. It also keeps coming unscrewed so I am going to buy a gasket for it eventually and that is why it loses a star.
This is a very nice pen..., April 1, 2010
This is a very nice pen that writes extremely smooth, sometimes maybe too smooth. I do have a slight issue with the cap as it sometimes come loose when I twirl the pen in my hand (nervous tick). One of my favorite pens still.

I really like this pencil. It feels very good in the hand and writes very well. I did not like the eraser assembly that much though, kinda cheap for such a pricey pencil. I rarely use erasers on pencils like this so not that big of a deal.
Very nice pen, my wife..., March 25, 2010
Very nice pen, my wife made me order her 2 of them! The grip and feel is very good and I agree, it is not as smooth as I expected which actually makes it easier for me to write with.
This is a very good pencil...., December 4, 2009
This is a very good pencil. The winggrip doesn't seem to fit my hand so well but maybe I am doing it wrong? I probably won't buy it again (better pencils are available) but I am not disappointed I bought it.
Great pencil. Nod has..., December 4, 2009
Great pencil. Nod has to go to the Pentel Graphgear in head to head but I bought 2 of these and 1 for my brother-in-law. The auto rotation for me makes a difference and the grip is great also.

A mother goose had lost her lifelong mate and was left alone to create and tend to her nest. She spent the day sheltering her eggs from the cold spring air inside an empty cemetery urn chosen as home. The loss of her male partner made her vulnerable to any would-be predators who choose to approach the nest. But, in an unlikely twist of fate, an adult deer had befriended the mother goose, taking over the role of protector.
This animal friendship is highly unusual, since there's no known way that a deer and goose can communicate. Yet somehow the deer has come to understand the need of the nesting mother.
The deer then spent its days near the urn acting as guardian when needed. As passersby approach the area the deer stands and places itself between the person and the nesting goose. On one occasion the deer even took a protective stance taking on a barking dog near the area of the urn. ♥

MUMBAI, India - London-listed mining giant Vedanta Resources plans to merge its Indian subsidiaries to cut costs and list shares in the new entity on the New York Stock Exchange, the company said Saturday.
Vedanta said it would merge Sterlite Industries Ltd. with Sesa Goa Ltd. to create Sesa Sterlite. Consolidation should save the group 10 billion rupees ($200 million) a year, the company said.
It will offer three shares in Sesa Goa, India's largest iron ore producer, for every five existing shares in Sterlite, one of India's largest nonferrous metals mining companies.
The group's holdings in oil and gas producer Cairn India will also be consolidated within Sesa Sterlite, which will hold a 58.3 per cent stake in Cairn India after the transfer.
The company said Sesa Sterlite will be the world's seventh largest natural resources company by earnings, with exposure to zinc, lead, silver, iron ore, oil and gas, copper, aluminum and power and assets in India, Australia, Liberia, South Africa, Namibia, Ireland and Sri Lanka.
The consolidation needs shareholder and regulatory approval.
Sesa Sterlite will have a market cap of over $20 billion, making it one of India's largest listed companies, according to Jagannadham Thunuguntla, strategist and head of research at SMC Global Securities.
"Vedanta Group stocks have historically got lower valuations due to complicated corporate structure. With this restructuring effort, there is an increased probability that the group may get positive rerating by the market," he said in an email.

(WHAS11) -A longtime eyesore in the heart of downtown Louisville's s growing Main Street district is now coming down.
Monday, crews began to demolish the 8th Street electrical tower.
Last Thursday, Metro Council members and Museum Plaza developers also debated re-opening 7th Street.
Council members said there had been little progress on that issue.
Museum Plaza is on indefinite hold until the developers get new financing. There is no construction underway of the project.
The building would be expected to be the tallest in Louisville and will include condos, offices, and shops.
Crews should be finished with the demolition by Friday.

love letter for katelan
you are the ghost that whispers in my ear
words as old as the soil
sharpened by the tongues of poets
and the rusted works
of lunatic asylums
only they understood
the power of virus
to ensnare our hearts
thrilling cock and cunt alike
moving in rhythm
with Mingus
and ancient trees
and butterfly wings
bending in a breeze
as hot as your breath
on a cheek that burns
for every word
you are the ghost that paints pictures on my skin
drawn in glitter and
sequins and menstrual blood
in tangled sheets
soiled with longing
and if I dare to dream
as the dead poets did
I can feel the earth
beneath our bare feet
ashes and bits of bone
and seashell
that carry mystery
as timeless
and beautiful
as your eyes
and the words you whisper in my ear
and the pictures you paint on my skin

12 Uses for Waste Baskets
Heather's clever post on the Canyon Waste Basket at Crate and Barrel got us thinking about the multiple uses for this unassuming object. As long as you've got a good-looking basket, why not clean it up and promote it out of the garbage business? (We like these Pablo Medina Wastebaskets at Design Public as magazine racks, $48 each.) Click below for the full list...
• Store rolled towels inside for a spa-inspired bathroom accessory.
• Use a watertight waste basket as a vase for flowers or branches.
• Store magazines and newspapers inside a rectangular waste basket.
• Use a watertight waste basket as an ice bucket.
• Keep it by the front door and use as an umbrella stand.
• Turn a metal, wood, or glass waste basket upside-down and use as a side table.
• Use it to store mailing tubes with artwork rolled inside. (Click here for the how-to.)
• Use stylish and colorful waste baskets as storage bins in a child's room.
• Large waste baskets can be used for laundry.
• Store firewood next to the hearth in a sturdy waste basket.
• Use a metal can as a catch-all for sports equipment (basketball, yoga mat, etc.)
• In an entryway, use it to hold scarves, gloves, and hats.
See Heather's original post for more information on a few of these ideas.

If it's waterproof, a trash can can be a great pot for a large plant. The Garbo has handles, so it's easy to move despite the weight: http://flickr.com/photos/visualingual/372489791/in/set-72157594505190197/
all of our trash bins at the office are filled with rolls of drawings...
Idea #407B: Turn it into a pendant lamp by hanging it upside down with an Urban Outfitters or Ikea hanging light socket.
thanks!!!! I had to replace my fun trashcan with a covered one since the dog eats paper--now I think I'll repurpose it.

The art of swaddling is something many the father brags about being an expert in, and hospitals often take a newborn, wipe them off, swaddle them tightly and hand them back to mom within the first ten minutes after birth.
We've heard it makes babies sleep longer or better, prevents them from waking themselves up when they startle, and overall, helps babies be more secure.
But the problem is, it has negative health impacts, and even increases the risk of SIDS, but only if swaddling is being done at the wrong times and in the wrong sleep position.
Skin-on-skin contact, a.k.a. Kangaroo Care, is incredibly important to newborns. It can literally make the difference between life and death, as mom's body is designed to hold a newborn to warm them (no need for machines when mom is better, unless there's a medical reason mom can't hold baby right away). When on mom's chest, especially skin-to-skin, baby's breathing begins to mimic mom's respiration and even the heart rate levels out.
Breastfeeding in the first hour, but as soon as possible even in that hour, is optimal for baby's initial health, since after about an hour or two, baby goes into a deep "recovery" sleep, and then will wake up ravenous, which can make the first feeding incredibly difficult. But when baby is swaddled, their senses are dulled and they can't use their hands to help them locate the breast and nipple. Yes, you can raise baby to your breast, but when they are allowed to be an active participant and get comfortable and naturally curl their arms around the breast or even knead it with their tiny hands to encourage letdown and flow, it goes more smoothly.
Swaddling during those hospital days can make can make a huge difference in the baby's health and the success of initial breastfeeding and weight gain.
Swaddled babies separated during their first two hours lost more weight.
Swaddled babies kept in the nursery were colder and consumed less milk.
Swaddled babies in the nursery lost more weight despite consuming more formula. Possible reasons for this that the researchers suggested include:
Pretty major impact, isn't it?
Swaddling, especially the tight swaddles dads pride themselves on, have even been showing evidence of being a significant factor in hip dysplasia. The AAP even recommends that pediatricians who find out their patients swaddle do Ortolani and Barlow examinations to test for a hip click, and that if it's present, they should advise their patients to stop swaddling immediately. The reason some more primitive cultures don't have this issue with their 24/7 swaddled babies is they're wrapped in the frog position, with the legs folded up almost cross-legged, like they are in the womb.
Now, I know a lot of people swear their baby needs to be swaddled to sleep well, and that they sleep better that way and don't wake themselves up as often, but unfortunately, contrary to our country's belief that the most important thing in a baby is making them sleep well, too deep or secure of sleep is actually a bad thing -- it can make babies sleep through feedings they need, causing breastfeeding supply issues, poor weight gain and even delay the drop of bilirubin levels. But most moms would certainly notice if too many hours went by and baby slept through feedings.
The biggest worry is if you swaddle your baby when she is ill, and in a very heated room, and have her sleeping in the prone position (face down). This can increase the risk of SIDS. But swaddling alone when baby is sleeping on her back does not increase the risk.
After everything I've read about swaddling, it seems the only benefit is less interrupted sleep for baby. With the risk of breastfeeding failure, hip problems, and weight gain problems it's enough to make me re-think swaddling.
Did you know any of this? Do you swaddle your babies?
Editor's Note: This version has been edited to reflect changes in the text. Thank you for your comments.

I heard recently that one culture swaddles their infants from birth to a year- now I am having a brain fart and cannot recall WHICH culture.. but my thinking at the time was that it would *help* the parents as it would keep the children from being active- and from getting in the way.. our first liked being swaddled a bit- but I would always undo her so we could snuggle.. so I guess I knew instinctively about this.. the SIDS stat is frightening tho...
I swaddled my last 2 babies. I only did it when it was time for them to sleep. I wouldn't keep them in it for hours upon end which is what it seems this article implies. My youngest had jaundice and was born Jan '10. we had to keep him naked until his biliruben levels normalized. we didn't swaddle him at all until after his first doctor checkup. both babies woke up every night for their feedings and if they didn't I went in and woke them up. I know how important it is for them to feed every 2-4 hours. We loved swaddling.
Who doesn't do the frog leg position when they swaddle? Duh.
I can see the issue with the other things mentioned though.
I really didn't know about any of these things. We *are* taught that swaddling helps them feel more comfortable, like they are tight in our womb... but I see even now that's just another myth of modern parenting that is perpetuated to make the parents life easier, but has no benefits for baby. I'm going to say if we want babies to be comforted as if they are in our wombs, then putting them skin to skin against you is the most logical choice.
Wow, what a load of crap. My daughter was in the NICU for 43 days and not only did they encourage and promote kangaroo care, but they also encouraged and promoted swaddling. Not being able to move causes stress which burns more calories? Yeah, ok, because they are used to being able to flail their arms and legs at will while in the womb, right? One of the reasons swaddling is promoted is because they tightness of the wrap allows a brand new infant the comfort of being secure and warm in mom's uterus.
My kids HATED to be swaddled but were okay with a sling, as long as they were in front and their head and feet stuck out the whole time.
Wow this is the first time I have really felt like an article posted on the stir was such a load of BS! Well let me rephrase, you have taken common sense things twisted them to make a big deal, and twisted statistics to make it seem like some huge thing. I am shocked by what a poorly researched, informed, and written article this is. Not only that you are scaring unknowing young mothers into going against the good advice of their docs or midwifes. Shame on you. I did kangaroo care with both my boys, it was great for them and for me. I also swaddled both my boys during their naps and at night, as they got older I only swaddled their arms. I never swaddled them during breastfeeding and I don't know anyone that ever did, it would be very hard to hold them if they were swaddled during breastfeeding. Just like kangaroo care, the best way of breastfeeding is skin on skin contact as well.
