Hi. My name is Connie Carl, My maiden name is Voy
I am researching the following names:
Voy, Kroll,Knoll,Crawford, Carl, Hays, Hayes, Cosbey,Schultz, Schults,. I am sure there are many more, but that is a start.
I discovered Find a grave and was so excited to go out and locate graves and take photo's. I thoroughly enjoy it. My problem is lack of time. There are very few cemeteries near me, so I do have to travel a great distance, but I will do my very best to get any photo requests in my area. If I take the photo's, you are welcome to use them anyway you wish. If you wish for a transfer,no problem. If they are not related to me, then I see no reason to keep them. All you have to do is ask.
Thank you. Connie Carl

RE: Bennetts
You are welcome. I'm working my way through the Bennett graves you requested section by section. Tonight I searched Section 8 for Clyde, David and Effie who are supposedly buried there, plus some other requests. I found Clyde and Effie next to each other, but didn't find David. The library has a 1989 book Cemetery Inscriptions of Sauk County, Wisconsin that I'll check to see it David has a stone and if it is in section 8. Sad to see that Clyde died so young, so far from home in WW I. I'll check section 4 soon to see if I can find William, Pearl and Lydia.
You are more than welcome to use my photos in your genealogy. Please let me know if you need any photos from different angles or group photos of graves.

RE: Peter Van Buskirk
I just wish I could get onto the property just once, take the pictures and leave.
There are only about 15 headstones because most of the graves were moved when IMTT took over the property.
They claim those that were left had no relatives to approve the move. So they were forced to leave the graves there.
Once a year they have a Memorial Day Tribute to those buried there, but there is absolutely no picture taking for security reasons.

Fresh off the heels of a sold-out, six-week run in Ft. Lauderdale
Parody play inspired by the popular 80s sitcom comes to the Footlight Theater at the Parliament House for 4 shows only!
ORLANDO, FL- He's tackled Joan and Christina Crawford, Hannibal Lechter and Clarice Starling, and the Sugarbaker gals of Atlanta. Now he has his sights set on the girls at the Eastland School.
From the writer who brought you "Mommie Queerest," "The Silence of the Clams," and "Re-Designing Women" comes the raunchiest show in his repertoire. And it's definitely Rated R."The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode" by Jamie Morris comes to the Footlight Theater at Parliament House in Orlando for 4 shows only!
Dildos, prostitution, cerebral palsy, and lesbian sex are just a few of the politically-incorrect plot-lines that mark this as an adults-only show! The Dallas Voice put if perfectly: "The Lost Episode" is entirely the product of Morris' twisted mind, adding tons of inappropriate humor you would be challenged to find on premium cable nowadays, not to say on NBC of yesteryear."
The premise of the show is simple. When budget cuts force Mrs. Garrett to leave Eastland Blair, Tootie, Natalie and Jo will do anything to raise the money so she can stay. Anything.(Ok, they become hookers. And they sing and dance about it!)
Add an evil Headmaster who has a thing for Mrs. G, lesbian overtones between Jo and Blair, and a guest cameo by cousin Geri and you have the lost episode Showtime wished they'd snatched up.
As the sitcom's popular theme song proclaimed, "You take the good, you take the bad." These girls take it all.
Performed by an all-male cast, "The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode" does not incorporate actual episodes. This is a comedy inspired by the beloved sitcom.
"Facts" premiered in 2004 in Provincetown, MA where Provincetown Magazine said "John Waters would be proud of Morris who has managed to turn a sweet, little sitcom into porn." The Provincetown Banner added: "If the sitcom had been this funny it might still be on the air."
After two successful, sold-out runs in New York the critics agreed. HX Magazine called the show a "raunchy, side-splitting musical spoof. So wrong in so many ways!" StageBuzz:"Be prepared for a wild, raunchy, crazy time. It's damn funny!" Time Out New York:"deliciously nasty!"
"Facts" enjoyed a sold-out run in Dallas, where the show was extended three times and became the most successful show in the history of the Uptown Players. It was also named the #2 Ballsiest Show in Dallas by Pegasus News. And the Column Awards (the People's Choice of Dallas) just showered the show with a slew of nominations including Best Play and a nod for every actor in the production. The reviewer from the Dallas Observer noted of her experience: "I wheezed so hard laughing that the guys next to me asked if I was having an asthma attack."
When the show played in L.A the producers and cast were nominated for a 2009 Weho Award for Best Entertainment Group. Actress Geri Jewell who played Blair's cousin on the original "Facts of Life" made a surprise guest appearance in "The Lost Episode" closing weekend.
Ms. Jewell reprised her cameo in Vegas where the show became the most successful production at the Onyx Theater, and director Christopher Kenney was named "Best Local Theater Director" by City Life Magazine.
FACTS just enjoyed a sold-out, six-week run at Empire Stage in Ft. Lauderdale where the critics raved. Rod Hagwood of the Sun-Sentinel: The randy, rowdy, raunchy show bangs and booms in the cozy, black-box theater as the cast gives a sinfully good send-up of the 1980s-era sitcom. For 90 minutes including a 15-minute intermission, you'll get your money's worth from this filthy and funny blast.
"The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode" will play the Footlight Theater at the Parliament House (410 N. Orange Blossom Trail) in Orlando for 4 shows only, August 10, 12, 16, 17. All shows are at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $16 in advance and $20 at the door. Advance tickets are available through wanzie.com

Don't Sweat It: Your Post-Workout Beauty Woes, Solved!
Beauty Tips for Active WomenMy ponytail or bun won't stay put during Spinning class.
A bun is best held in place with a corkscrewlike accessory like the Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin ($7, drugstores), which works on all hair textures, Patterson says. Insert the pin in the crease of the bun closest to the scalp and twist away. "As you turn the pin, it grabs both the bun and the hair underneath for a secure hold," he says. For a firmer ponytail, use a holder with a hook on either end, like Ricky's NYC Rickycare Bungees ($5 for four elastics, rickysnyc.com), to prevent any strands from falling out. And a shot of lightweight hair spray never hurts.My makeup always cracks in my gym bag.
Look for a makeup bag with compartments to keep products from bouncing around, or line the inside of a regular cosmetics case with a thin towel or cloth. "This will add extra padding to protect your breakables," Roncal says. For even more cushioning, wrap your palettes and any glass bottles -- for instance, your foundation -- in tissue and keep them separate from one another. Surratt is a fan of padded makeup bags from brands like LeSportsac and Vera Bradley. Our favorite: Sephora Quilted Organizer in Black ($32, sephora.com). Still have breakage? Consider switching to products packaged in tubes rather than glass.My hair is dry because I wash it so much, but I can't bear not to shampoo it after a workout.
Lather up with a silicone-free moisturizing formula like Nexxus Hydra-Light Weightless Moisture Shampoo ($10, drugstores). If you use hot tools, don't even think about skipping heat-protectant spray; look for one that prevents damage from temperatures as high as 450 degrees. "Styling without it will do more damage than washing your hair every day," Patterson warns. Try Redken Iron Shape II Finishing Thermal Spray ($16, redken.com for salons). Get in the habit of applying a weekly hydrating mask. "You might also consider using a humidifier, because it can keep your skin as well as your hair moist," he says.My nail polish always chips during CrossFit.
If it's done right, your mani should be tough enough for any workout, says celebrity manicurist Elle. Consider a salon or at-home gel manicure, like Sephora by OPI Gelshine At-Home Gel Colour System ($159, sephora.com), which uses a UV light to cure the polish so that it resists chips and stays glossy for weeks, says Jin Soon Choi, the founder of Jinsoon Hand and Foot Spa in New York City. Be sure to seal each nail by running a little color under the tip, where cracks often begin. Power up regular polish by applying a "sticky" base coat, like OPI ChipSkip Manicure Prep Coat ($13, opi.com for salons), so the hue adheres better. Finish with a keratin-infused topcoat, such as Dermelect Cosmeceuticals High-Maintenance Instant Nail Thickener ($16, dermelect.com), which strengthens and adds shine, Elle says.

MONDAY, March 21 (HealthDay News) -- A woman's use of birth
control pills before pregnancy does not increase the risk of
respiratory problems in her children, according to a new study.
Some studies have suggested that a mother's use of birth control
pills may increase the risk of asthma in children, but the data is
limited and inconclusive, said the authors of the new study.
The researchers examined the link between the type of birth
control pill used by Norwegian mothers before pregnancy and lower
respiratory tract infections in 60,225 children followed until the
age of 6 months, lower respiratory tract infections and wheezing in
42,520 children followed to 18 months old, and asthma in 24,472
children followed until age 3.
The investigators found no association between the use of
estrogen-progestin combined pills prior to pregnancy and lower
respiratory tract infections, wheezing or asthma in children. There
was a small association between the use of progestin-only pills in
the year before pregnancy and wheezing in children at 6 to 8
months, although this type of pill was not commonly used, the study
authors noted.
The study was scheduled for presentation Monday at the annual
meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology
(AAAAI), held in San Francisco.
"We found that use of the combined pill, taken by most women who use [oral contraceptive pills], was not associated with adverse respiratory outcomes in the offspring. This should provide reassurance to the vast majority of women using [oral contraceptives] during their childbearing years," senior author Dr. Stephanie J. London, principal investigator at the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, said in an AAAAI news release.
"The small association with the much less commonly used progestin-only pill may not reflect cause and effect but does suggest that researchers look at these two types of pills separately in the future," she added.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data
and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in
a peer-reviewed journal.

The last vestige of Kennedale's sordid sexually oriented business district at Interstate 20 and Loop 820, the former Show Time Cabaret, has been bought by doctors who plan to convert the building into an urgent care clinic.Kennedale City Manager Bob Hart welcomed the news. "This is the last one," he said.Show Time Cabaret, a topless joint that opened in 2003, closed in February 2012 as the result of a settlement in a federal lawsuit, Hart said. The building has been vacant since.The property, at 1298 W. Kennedale Parkway, was put up for sale in June with an $895,000 asking price. It never sold, and Grand Bank of Texas in Grand Prairie foreclosed in December.The bank put the property on the market but lowered the price to $650,000, said Mark Allen, a broker with Sperry Van Ness/Visions Commercial, who represented the buyers, two doctors.The sale to DeAndre Brown and Keith Rigsby took place March 25, Allen said. They bought the 6,459-square-foot building under the name Allegiant Financial Realty.The portion of the limestone, green-roofed building that was the cabaret will be gutted and rebuilt as the clinic, to employ 14 workers not including the medical staff, Allen said. The clinic is slated to open later this year."The inside looks awful. It needs tons of work, but they're up for the challenge," Allen said of the buyers.The new owner has asked Kennedale's economic development corporation for some assistance, but Hart said a decision hasn't been made. The request, he said, is outside the type of projects it normally helps, but it will be considered.Allen said the building's location is ideal for a clinic because residents in that sector of Tarrant County have to drive about 30 minutes for emergency care."I do a lot of different transactions, but this is going to affect a lot of people who live along the 820 corridor," Allen said.The smaller, back portion of the building that most recently had restaurants as tenants will be leased for a pharmacy or a dentist's office, he said.Kennedale began ridding the community of sexually oriented businesses more than a decade ago, after determining that they had been deterring business growth at the city's primary gateway as well as its new town center project.QuikTrip opened in November after acquiring three pieces of property that were once SOBs. Two years ago, Kennedale obtained the site of a former adult store through tax lien and tore the structure down. And about five years ago, Sundance Fence acquired and revamped a former adult business site, Hart said.Wayne Burgdorf with Burgdorf Realty represented Grand Bank of Texas.Dispute at SouthwestUnion strife has come to Dallas-based Southwest Airlines, known for years as the home of happy employees.Last week, airline ground workers picketed outside Southwest's Dallas Love Field home base, holding signs reading "Bags Fly Free Because of Me" and "Stop Outsourcing" to protest ongoing contract negotiations with the low-cost carrier.Transport Workers Union Local 555 has been in talks with Southwest since July 2011, but the two sides have been unable to reach a deal. Southwest is proposing outsourcing jobs, increasing part-time workers and reducing medical benefits."We simply can't understand why management would compromise our tradition of excellence by making demands at the bargaining table to outsource our work, cut into our sick days, and make it harder for our members to be on the job," TWU Local 555 President Charles Cerf said in a statement. "If we're not there, who is going to provide our passengers with the quality of service they have come to expect at Southwest?"Local 555 represents 9,400 ground crew workers at Southwest. Both sides filed for federal mediation last fall as contract talks stalled between union and company negotiators.The picketing at Dallas Love Field was part of the union's national campaign to raise awareness about its contract talks. The union also picketed at 15 other airports.Southwest said it supports its employees' right to express themselves and will "continue to actively participate in negotiations as we make every effort to reach agreements with our unions that are rewarding, flexible, and secure."Sandra Baker, firstname.lastname@example.com Fuquay, firstname.lastname@example.com Shlachter, email@example.com

Good Questions: How to salvage this table?
Cyndi writes: I bought this table from my local Savers; it was originally orange. I didn't particularly like that color, so, on the advice of the paint guy from my local Home Depot, I painted it a deep red. He told me that the orange would always show through, but I thought it would cover most of the color with a few coats. After 2 coats of paint, it's sort of an orange red, with a somewhat uneven coating of paint..."

Link To All Good Questions
Hi Cyndi- Kudos on finding a "diamond in the rough" and wanting to transform it. However, whenever you are planning on repainting an already painted surface, it's always a good idea to try to remove as much of the original paint as possible, and/or to sand it down to help avoid potential uneven spots. Also, using a good primer is beneficial as well. It's hard to suggest what other colors you might try without seeing the rest of the room you're thinking of putting it in, but from what we can see, the bones of the piece are still good. I'd suggest trying to strip all the paint off and start with a clean surface. Here is a link to an eco-friendly paint remover that we've found success using. Does anyone have any other ideas to suggest to Cyndi? Do you think she should just paint it black? Please share your suggestions in the comments!

Plus the home depot paint is probably cheap-ish paint. A higher quality paint will be more opaque.
If you do strip and prime it, see about getting the primer tinted with some of the red.
Get a color you love, that's my first advice. Then strip all of the old paint off - having it dunked by professionals is your best option. Stripping paint can be a pain. Make sure you get a durable paint designed for furniture, one that dries to a slick surface (if it's glossy) that won't stick to things in the future, not some gummy wall paint. Spray paint is probably your best bet - no brush marks.
How about putting a black glaze on it? It will deepen the color up a bit but not cover the red that you are looking for.
I once tried to paint my bookshelves bright red with good latex paint (Benjamin Moore). After several frustrating coats, the Benjamin Moore guys told me to get a really good solid red I should use oil-based paint. I did and they look great and the paint job has held up for years.
I'm beginning to think the HD guy is an idiot too; I think I'm going to follow the advice given here, and take the table to a professional to have the paint stripped. I'm going for a deep red that will pair well with shades of grey in the furniture & walls. I'll swap out the paint I bought for something suited for furniture.
Thanks for all the advice!
I found a cute bedside table that had been painted orange in the 1970's, like your piece. I sanded it down, my goal was to get a smooth surface. I then used acrylic primer and robin's egg blue paint. That was five years ago and it still looks great. The surface is also smooth because I sanded between primer & paint and between 1st and 2nd coats.

Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) is an educational program for high school juniors from across Washington State. The WAS program emphasizes science, technology, engineering and math, and encourages students to consider careers in these fields.
One of the most exciting educational opportunities for students in the State of Washington
- Governor Christine O. Gregoire
This program really changed my views on math and science. Before coming here for the week, I did not really care about math and science, and I thought it was a pointless class to take because we would never use this in the future. By being a part of this program, I have come to realize that math and science are vitally important.
- Ali E. – Thomas Jefferson High School
I would absolutely recommend WAS to other students. WAS is a fun, interesting program filled with activities all designed to help you learn more about space and the engineering world in general. From this residency experience, I've learned the tough work engineers go through every day and the whole reason behind it: seeing something you've designed or helped build actually work! There's nothing else more fulfilling.
-Jayden G. – Monroe High School
What is Washington Aerospace Scholars?
The program is divided into two components – the online curriculum and the Summer Residency.
- Phase One, is an online distance-learning curriculum that was developed in partnership with NASA and the University of Washington from early December until mid-May. The curriculum covers the history and future of space exploration and is a concepts course for liberal arts and beginning science and engineering students interested in the space environment around the Earth, its control by solar activity, and potential opportunities for the exploration of the solar system.
Students will have the option to register (for a fee) to earn five University of Washington credits in Space and Space Travel -ESS 102 based on their successful completion of the WAS online curriculum. This course will satisfy the Natural World area of knowledge requirement for graduation from the University of Washington.
- Phase Two is a six-day summer residency experience hosted by the Museum of Flight. To earn a space in this summer residency experience, students are expected to meet deadlines and show mastery of the Phase One curriculum; up to 160 of the top-performing students will be invited to participate in the Summer Residency based on their academic performance in Phase One. During the residency students are guided by professional engineers and educators as they design a human mission to Mars, tour engineering facilities, receive briefings from experts in the field, and compete in hands-on engineering challenges.
Who can participate?
Students from every legislative district across Washington State compete to take part in this exciting program. Participants must be:
- U.S. citizens
- Washington State residents
- Juniors in high school with minimum cumulative GPAs of 3.0 (students with a GPAs below 3.0 can apply for conditional acceptance and will receive full acceptance upon demonstrating adequate academic progress)
- Able to access the internet (home, school or public library)
- Check out http://www.internetessentials.com/ for information on low-cost internet service for families who qualify for the National School Lunch Program.
- Committed to completing online lessons to qualify for a six-day residential summer experience
- Interested in science, technology, engineering and/or math.
What will the students do?
Phase One, distance learning with a NASA and UW-designed curriculum, is completed via the internet. Phase One consists of ten bi-weekly lessons and a final project. Each lesson has tasks, collectively called a "mission" that include a reading quiz, a space related math problem, and a 500-word essay (some of which require students to create graphics), and virtual lab activities; because this is a 102 level college course, it is estimated that each lesson will take 12-15 hours to complete over each two-week period.
During Phase One, students will also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of web-based activities including:
- Virtual chat-sessions with experts and professionals from the fields of science, technology, engineering and math
Phase Two is a six-day residential summer experience at The Museum of Flight where select students will be guided by mentors and classroom teachers. Activities will include:
- Mission to Mars team project
- Hands-on engineering activities involving model rockets, robotic rovers, landers and payload lofting
- Briefings by astronauts, engineers, scientists and aerospace experts
- Tours of various engineering facilities
- Enrichment activities
How do students and teachers apply for the Washington Aerospace Scholars program?
The 2014-15 student and teacher applications will be available to complete online mid-September 2014.
Student and teacher applications will be due November 7, 2014.
If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please send your contact information to Washington Aerospace Scholars.
How are students supported during the program?
Certified Washington teachers serve as Online Academic Evaluators during the distance learning portion and Academic Facilitators during the residential summer experience. In Fall 2013, WAS will seek math and science teachers to evaluate online coursework for up to 20 high school juniors in preparation for their participation in a six-day summer residency at The Museum of Flight in Seattle. During the Summer Residency, selected teachers are invited to the Summer Residency session to guide a team of ten scholars, supporting their work and providing supervision (responsibilities include lodging with the students at a local hotel; single rooms are provided for teachers). Participating teachers will receive stipends of $800 for their participation and are eligible for 60 clock hours. Lodging, meals, and travel expenses are also provided by the WAS Foundation.
Eligible teachers must be U.S. citizens and practicing, Washington State certified, teachers of science, math, technology or related subjects.
The ideal candidates are teachers with experience teaching high school mathematics, science or technology-related courses. Experience with chaperoning student trips or camps is beneficial but not required. Continuous access to, and a working knowledge of, the internet and e-mail are essential.
Mentors & Assistant Mentors
During the summer residencies students are mentored by scientists and aerospace engineers, who are, in turn, assisted by university students.
We will be accepting applications in Spring 2014 from engineering / science professionals and university students interested in volunteering their time to mentor the next generation of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) professionals. These volunteers will support the scholars as they design a human mission to Mars. One Mentor and one Assistant Mentor will work with a team of ten scholars for one week. The time commitment is approximately 20 hours (8am-12pm, Monday-Friday), plus attendance at a closing luncheon banquet on Friday from 12-2pm. Volunteers are encouraged to attend other summer residency activities as their schedules permit.

Day 11 of 30: Surprise
Surprise by Ashley Ambirge
I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, if we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Think of a time when you didn't think you were capable of doing something, but then surprised yourself. How will you surprise yourself this week?
Oh boy. When do I ever actually think I am capable of doing something? I do things. I think that surprises me.
You know. I'm going to go with my current work situation. I knew what I wanted but wasn't entirely confident I could figure out how to get it just right. I knew I'd figure something out, because not figuring something out is never an option… but I definitely lacked confidence in getting exactly what was right for me, for this time/place in my life.
I'm feeling really great about how things have actually worked out. I think the clarity of vision made everything fall into place beautifully. Despite my lack of confidence about it throughout the process of getting there. I'm so grateful that making a big scary decision a few months back, riddled with the recurring wave of lack-of-confidence, became one of the best life decisions to date.
How will I surprise myself this week? Oh jeez. I'll get caught up on my Trust 30 challenge! How 'bout that!

The Wizard Combines His Passion for Baseball and Education at the 11th Edition of Hall of Fame Weekend Favorite PLAY Ball
Ozzie Smith and Special Guests Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk and Paul Molitor to Share the Field with Fans at the Museum's Annual Education Fundraiser, July 20
July 12, 2012
COOPERSTOWN, NY – Ozzie Smith spent 19 big league seasons revolutionizing the way shortstops played defense.
But since his Hall of Fame induction in 2002, The Wizard has become a champion of another cause close to his heart: Education.
For Smith, it all comes together on Hall of Fame Weekend during his annual PLAY Ball event in Cooperstown.
Smith, the Education Ambassador for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, will host PLAY Ball with Ozzie Smith on Friday, July 20 from 8 a.m. until noon in Cooperstown. Ozzie will welcome fellow Hall of Famers Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk and Paul Molitor as his guests during a fun-filled morning that gives fans a unique chance to experience on-field moments and stories with Hall of Famers.
PLAY Ball is a Museum fundraiser that supports the Hall of Fame's educational programs and internship scholarships. Participants in PLAY Ball each receive on-field round-robin interaction with the Hall of Famers along with special mementos to commemorate their experience. The event will begin at 8 a.m. July 20 with an exclusive morning reception in the Hall of Fame Plaque Gallery with Ozzie and his Hall of Fame friends. Following photos, stories and interaction with their Hall of Fame guides, PLAY Ball participants will hit the field at a Cooperstown-area diamond, where they will receive two hours of instruction along with non-stop interaction from some of the greatest players the game has known.
Since hosting the event annually beginning in 2002, Ozzie Smith has helped raise more than $110,000 for the Museum's educational outreach programs and the Ozzie Smith Diversity Scholarships, presented annually to members of the Frank and Peggy Steele Internship Program for Youth Leadership Development. Smith, a 13-time Gold Glove Award winner, will lead the PLAY Ball event for the 11th consecutive year.
Bench, a 14-time National League All-Star as a catcher and two-time NL MVP, was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1989. Fisk was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2000 following a 24-year big league career that featured 11 All-Star Game appearances. Molitor, a Class of 2004 member at the Hall of Fame, recorded 3,319 hits in his 21-year big league career.
PLAY Ball is part of the July 20-23 Hall of Fame Weekend activities that will be highlighted by the July 22 Induction Ceremony when Barry Larkin and Ron Santo will be enshrined as the Class of 2012.
A limited number of spaces for PLAY Ball remain, and a reservation is required. Event pricing is $600 for Members, $800 for non-Members. Members may reserve spots now by calling 607-547-0397. For more information on Membership, please visit www.baseballhall.org.

In the aftermath of a Camden Yards fight that left a Maryland man with severe head injuries, Orioles fans have turned to radio talk shows, Twitter, Facebook and office watercoolers to express their outrage.
The alleged assault of lifelong Yankees fan Matt Fortese, 25, of Hagerstown was a rare occurrence at the stadium, according to police records and regular attendees. But with Fortese in critical condition, the incident has disturbed many fans — and attracted national attention.
"I have heard some heckling; I have heard some arguments, but never a physical assault," said Joe Speca, a 24-year-old Orioles fan from Fells Point. "I want the victim's family to know that the fans of Baltimore care about this kind of thing. It's the kind of thing that shouldn't be tolerated."
The incident is the latest example of aggressive fan behavior in stadiums nationwide, and experts say public awareness has increased with the advent of cellphone cameras, YouTube and a 24-hour news cycle.
"This is not a blood-sport war," said Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a psychology professor at the University of Massachusetts and a Psychology Today contributor. "We need to keep reminding people about watching their own behavior. Friends don't let friends go crazy at a ballgame."
To combat violence at stadiums, sports franchises have developed text-alert capabilities to summon security and limited the availability of alcohol. At Camden Yards, for example, fans are encouraged to use a "discreet texting service" to report any incidents, said Greg Bader, team vice president of communications and marketing; the Ravens have a similar system..
One group, inspired to address aggression after the severe beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium in 2011, is encouraging teams to do more. California-based Fans Against Violence, or FAV, wants teams to adopt a new "FanShake," in the style of a "kiss cam," where fans of the home team shake hands with a rival team's supporters.
"The fans need to take responsibility," said Kathy Samoun, founder of FAV. "The teams have a responsibility to the fans, but they can't put security at every intersection. You've got to treat it like your living room."
Fortese, whose condition has worsened in recent days, remains in critical condition at Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Two men, Michael Bell, 21, of Annapolis, and Gregory Fleischman, 22, of Jarrettsville, were charged in connection with the May 29 incident. They were each released on $50,000 bail last week.
Police say that during a game between the Orioles and Washington Nationals, Bell threw a beer that hit Fortese, who was wearing a Yankees cap. Fortese then climbed a 5-foot wall and began arguing with the suspects. Fleischman punched Fortese, who fell backward and hit the concrete below, according to police.
Fleischman was charged with first- and second-degree assault and disorderly conduct. Bell faces second-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges.
A police report did not say whether alcohol was a factor.
An attorney for Fleischman, Kurt Nachtman, declined to comment, other than to say that Fleischman is eager to have his day in court to "prove his innocence." He did say, though, that Fleischman, like Fortese, is a Yankees fan.
Attempts to reach Bell have been unsuccessful, and no attorney is listed for him in court documents.
A preliminary hearing for the men is scheduled for June 26.
Some Orioles fans have been critical of Fortese and his decision to confront Bell and Fleischman rather than seek out security. The police report says Bell was throwing beer on people sitting near him throughout the game and that a number of the fans were arguing with him about his behavior.
Bader would not answer specific questions about the incident, including whether an usher or officer was stationed near the section where Fortese was injured.
But he said the Orioles provide "a number of highly visible and behind-the-scenes security procedures." Providing details about security would be counterproductive, he added.
The security force at a given game is determined by factors such as crowd size, the opponent and whether a special event is scheduled, Bader said. The Orioles' security procedures are reviewed by Major League Baseball and comply with league requirements, he said.
The stadium also has a Code of Conduct that calls for "courteous behavior" from "all fans." Bad behavior that infringes on another's enjoyment of the game, such as using foul language or displaying signs of intoxication, could be cause for ejection.

Labour's new leader wants the government to release details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations but Prime Minister John Key won't do it.
David Cunliffe says there are problems with the free trade deal being negotiated by most Asian countries, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
"There are some real fish hooks in it," he said on Monday at his first press conference in parliament since being elected on Sunday.
"One is investor state relations, another is Pharmac, another is intellectual property rules, and another is the degree and rate of upside in our agricultural opportunities."
Mr Cunliffe says the TPP is going to be a difficult and complex issue for New Zealand and the government should reveal details of its negotiating stance.
"My challenge to John Key and his government is to put that information in the public domain so the debate can begin."
Mr Key says he's not going to do that.
"We're trying to complete a deal and it's very, very important for New Zealand," he said.
"It would be worth billions of dollars and thousands of jobs."
The TPP negotiations, scheduled to be concluded next year, began in 2010 and are in their 19th round.
Opponents, including trade unions, fear New Zealand's interests will be compromised but Mr Key says he won't sign anything that isn't good for the country.

Shambhala's view is that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness, wisdom and compassion which can be cultivated through meditation, allowing us to work with others to bring about the best in human society.
Proceeds will support our core offerings and other initiatives that make the benefits of meditation accessible to more people including the PSC prison dharma program at Oregon State Penitentiary, retreat scholarships, the program tuition generosity policy and ecumenical community events such as the Portland City Sit.
Not only is this an opportunity to raise funds for the center to continue these programs, and raise consciousness about the benefits of meditation, this is also an amazing chance to test the limits of your own meditation practice by participating in the marathon. Participants from the last two years found the whole experience deeply rewarding both from a community and a practice standpoint.
How It Will Work:
From 9am Saturday, November 2nd until 9am Sunday, November 3rd, we'll be sitting at the Shambhala Center for 30 min. sessions of mindfulness meditation, interspersed with 10 minutes of walking meditation. (Please note that the "times" on the calendar are constrained by the Shambhala Database Parameters -- implying incorrectly that there is no sitting from midnight to 5 am the next morning.)
Although the event has been designed to allow meditators to "lean in" if they choose to, there is no minimum amount of sitting time required.
We will be maintaining functional silence throughout the marathon. Food will be provided for meditators every 3-4 hours.
How You Can Help:
1) Participate as a Meditator/Fundraiser:
We are looking for 15 - 20 meditator/fundraisers!
Before November 2nd, you'll reach out to community members, friends, family and coworkers for pledges, then be responsible for collecting your raised funds by November 23rd. While we encourage fundraisers to target $150 - $750 in pledges, the minimum amount of fundraising or personal donation requested to participate as a meditator is $100.
You'll be increasing public awareness of the benefits of meditation, long term, through supporting the Portland Shambhala Center, and immediately, through conversations with sponsors.
To participate, please register below.
2) Make a Pledge To Donate:
Please consider sponsoring someone's sit, at any level!
Pledges may be made by the hour or as a flat amount. You may be asked to pledge by multiple people, so don't be shy to say "no" if you've already done so.
3) Join Us During the Marathon:
We are looking for people to make and serve tea and snacks during the Meditation Marathon, and/or to take a turn as Umdze!
Visit/serve/clean-up one meal, or join us for multiple meal periods. Your services and the energy you bring will be deeply appreciated. And you may get to see Marathon Meditators actually falling over!
To help or to ask questions, please contact the Meditation Marathon coordinators, Kim Crossman or Chris Poor at (503) 477-9442 or contact the Community Practice Coordinator.
If you are a marathoner, please print the pledge form and begin collecting pledges!

Few things make me mad in this world: Ambivilance toward others. Amoral rationalisations. & delis that report to be NY-style but wouldn't know what NY-style is if they got mugged by a guy in an I <3 NY tshirt. TJ's Deli is one of those places that makes me so mad. For some reason, the deli calls this a bagel w/cream cheese. I had to ask where is the cream cheese? & don't get me started on the ridiculous slices of tomato. I just paid 2.50 for slices of bread. !! So, TJ's, here is me, showing you some NY: i will never go to your deli again.
I was robbed. Straight up, NY-style mugged. I just paid $13 for a wedge salad that I had to *cut my own ingredients*. Not kidding. Everything come raw on the plate doused in BC dressing a crumble. You have to do all the prep work & then you get to eat the salad. I guess this is what Mitt Romney means when he says real Americans have to work for their food, no handouts. Um, and there was no bacon on the salad. But I could add BBQ chix or steak for another $9/$11, respectively. Welcome to NY, suckers.

The flavor was really delicious. The amount of barley was way too much, in my opinion, for the amount of liquid, and required more time than called for in the recipe. After 45 minutes of simmering with the barley, it still wasn't done, so allow plenty of time.
Mushroom, Barley, and Beef Soup
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Try to use hulled barley for this soup--it's a less refined form of the grain that provides more fiber and iron than pearled barley, which will also work nicely. Beef stew meat also contributes iron, plus selenium. The mushrooms supply vitamin D and are a prime source of ergothioneine, an antioxidant that may help prevent cell damage and reduce the risk of cancer.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 1/2 cups soup and 1 teaspoon parsley)

Suzi's Blog
Caramel Apple Cake from Baked Explorations
Why are recurring dreams always so scary? Mine are terrible. Long, unpleasant and intense. There's the one where the Head Librarian from my graduate school has summoned me back to Baltimore. She's seven feet tall, dips down towards me, and nastily says I have to retype my dissertation. On the original Selectric typewriter. Two hundred pages of equations. I awake in an exhausted sweat. Do I still have the Symbol Ball for that Selectric?
Surprisingly, there's been one change to my really worst dream, one that was already painful but now become surreal. In the original dream, I am on trial for a single count of having too many chocolate recipes on the blog. It's a capital offense. And the prosecutor looks remarkably like my wife.
This week the dream intensified with a new, second count against me: hypocrisy. The dream ends with this exchange:
"And if you are found guilty, Mr. O'Rourke, will you want a chocolate dessert before your execution?" the prosecutor asks.
"I don't intend to be convicted," I say bravely.
"Answer the question or I'll direct the jury to vote guilty, sir," the Judge says.
"Before you answer," the prosecutor says, "I remind you that you are under oath. Commit perjury and we can inflict capital punishment in a very unpleasant manner. We know how to waterboard with white chocolate ganache."
"No," I mumble.
"No what?" the judge leans toward me.
"No, my last dessert, my one last dessert, would not be chocolate," I say.
"And just what would it be?" the prosecutor asks. The judge leans directly over me.
"That cake," I acknowledge. "That caramel apple cake with the incredible frosting."
I can't tell you how good this cake is. See that picture at the top, three layers with luscious slabs of frosting? Suzen and I made this cake last week. Same colors, but ours was bigger. I'm not boasting here, I'm just saying we did a fabulous job.
In Brooklyn you will find the bakery Baked, opened by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito. This recipe comes from Baked Explorations, their second book and one so intense you'll probably gain three pounds just reading it.
The authors note that apples are the fruit of the Northeast, and certainly of New York. Suzen and I live in the Hudson Valley, the most apple-intense geography in the United States. They may grow more apples in Washington and Oregon, but those trees have their origin in Hudson Valley soil. And in the valley there people experimenting year-round with new apple varieties and resurrecting old ones. Travel the back roads of upstate counties, stop at the farm stands, and you'll see piles of apples with names you've never heard of.
And so, the authors of Baked Explorations explain they've sorted through recipe after recipe from the Northeast. Heirloom recipes, family recipes, famous recipes, buried treasures. And this recipe is the winner: moist, dense, lightly spiced, and then covered in a thick, slightly sweet caramel frosting. They say this cake is "pure fall." It's also pure extravagance. One slice and you'll remember this recipe forever.
This recipe calls for 4 cups of applesauce and suggests homemade. We did that, and it makes a big difference. Their instructions for creating that homemade applesauce are here for you to follow.
Oh, yes, the frosting recipe calls for flour. Flour and frosting may not seem a natural pairing, but this is why you can trust Baked Explorations. It's sublime.
Baked Explorations made my list of the four best new dessert cookbooks for this fall. It is filled with treats that you'll want to try. The recipes are perfectly written, easy to follow, and won't fail you. The photographs, by Tina Rupp, are seductive. And, they are accurate. Honest to God, our cake looked just like the photo above. Except bigger.
Caramel Apple Cake
Yield: one 8-inch, 3-layer cake
Ingredients for the Apple Cake:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground clove
- 1 ½ cups [3 sticks] unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes, at room temperature
- 2 ½ cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 4 cups homemade applesauce [recipe follows]
Ingredients for the Caramel Butter Cream:
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups [3 sticks] unsalted butter, soft but cook, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓cup plus 2 tablespoon Classic Caramel Sauce at room temperature [recipe follows]
Preparation for the Apple Cake:
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter three 8-inch round cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and butter the parchment. Dust the parchment the flour and knock out the excess flour.
Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves together into a large bowl. Set aside.
In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy, about 4 minutes. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and beat until combined.
Add the flour mixture to the mixer bowl in three parts, alternating with the applesauce, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Scrape down the bowl, then mix on low speed for a few more seconds.
Divide the batter among the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the pans to a wire rack over 20 minutes. Turn the cakes out onto the rack, remove the parchment, and let completely
Preparation for the Caramel Buttercream:
In a medium, heavy bottomed saucepan, whisk the sugar and flour together. Add the milk and cream and cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil and has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high speed until cool. Reduce speed to low and add the butter and vanilla. Mix until thoroughly incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Add ⅓ cup of the caramel and continue mixing until combined. If the frosting is too soft, put the bowl in the refrigerator to chill slightly, then beat again until it is the proper consistency. If the frosting is to firm, set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and beat with a wooden spoon until it is the proper consistency.
Cake Assembly:
Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Trim the top to create a flat surface and evenly spread about 1 ¼ cups of frosting on top. Add the next layer, trim and frost it, and then add the third layer. Spread a very thin layer of frosting over the sides and top of the cake and put it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up. This is known as crumb coating and will help to keep loose cake crumbs under control when you frost the outside of the cake. Frost the sides and top with remaining frosting. Drizzle on a few swirls of caramel and refrigerate the finish cake for 15 minutes to firm it up before serving.
This cake will keep beautifully in a cake server at room temperature for up to three days, as long as the weather is cool and humidity free. Otherwise, place the cake in cake server and refrigerate for up to three days. Let a chilled cake sit at room temperature for at least two hours before serving.
Homemade Applesauce:
The basic recipe is to peel and cut apples and place them in a medium saucepan with a small amount (maybe a ⅓ cup) apple cider, ground cinnamon to taste, and a tiny bit dark brown sugar [optional]. Cover the saucepan and cook for about 30 minutes. Uncover and mash as you would potatoes.
Classic Caramel Sauce:
Ingredients for the Caramel Sauce:
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ¼ cup corn syrup
- ½ cup [1 stick] butter, softened, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
Preparation of the Caramel Sauce:
In a medium saucepan with high sides, combine the sugar and corn syrup with ½ cup water. Stir the mixture gently so that you don't slosh any of it up the sides of the pan. Turn the heat to medium-high and continue stirring until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to high, stop stirring, and allow the mixture to boil. Once begins to churn a rich caramel color (if you don't want to eyeball it, take the caramel to 300°F on a candy thermometer), remove from the heat, add the butter and cream, and stir until combined.
You can save the caramel sauce, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to one week. Let it come to room temperature before using it on cakes, ice cream, or quick breads.
If you want a warm topping, heat the caramel sauce in short bursts in the microwave or in the top of a double boiler.

Ideal Hot Chocolate with Caramel Whipped Cream
Okay, we still cannot put down the snow shovels. The East Coast is targeted once again. Here in New York City we missed last week's two+ feet of snow. But starting tonight we are getting a foot or more of our own. You can see people walking down the street, heads pointed at the sky. It's like an early scene from a disaster movie.
I am not about to discuss global warming here.
I am going to discuss personal warming.
In my lifetime, I have made thousands of mugs of hot chocolate. It my favorite beverage — cocktails aside. This recipe for my ideal hot chocolate is just that ideal. It rivals Angelina's in Paris — the secret is the constant whisking and heavy cream which generates a beverage with body. You've had watery hot chocolate all your life, and this recipe is the solution for wimpy, tepid beverages.
If you add the Caramel Whipped Cream from the second recipe below, then you have a beverage that tops anything in Paris, or Vienna, or anywhere. It's a real tears-to-eyes experience. Just like in the movies.
Pressed for time? Okay, regular whipped cream will do. So will marshmallows or marshmallow fluff. I'm assuming you have a fully stocked kitchen.
If you can spend the time, if that snow has you trapped at home anyway, then the caramel whipped cream is something you will treasure. You know how after a day or so regular whipped cream begins to separate and needs to be rewhipped a bit? Not this caramel variety, which maintains its integrity for at least three days. [It might last longer but truthfully I had consumed everything spoonful with 72 hours.]
With this hot chocolate, you can chill about the snow. If fact, you may turn on the Weather Channel and start rooting for that next storm.
Brian's Ideal Hot Chocolate
Yield: Makes 1 serving
2 ounces SB semisweet chocolate chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
¾ cup milk
Combine heavy cream and milk.
In a sauce pan, place chopped chocolate, sugar and ¼ of the cream-milk mixture. Over medium heat, stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate has completely melted. Add the remaining cream-milk mixture. Whisk on medium heat for 2 minutes. Simmer for 3 minutes. Do not boil.
Source: Brian O'Rourke
Caramel Whipped Cream Frosting
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
⅛ salt
2 cups heavy-whipping cream [divided]
Meanwhile, for the caramel whipped cream frosting, in a medium heavy skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the brown sugar water, 2 tablespoons butter and the salt until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cover and boil for 2 minutes, letting the steam wash down the sides of the pan. Uncover and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes without stirring until the temperature reaches 260°F. The mixture will darken at the edges and become fragrant as it caramelizes. Tilt the pan to swirl the caramel and ensure even caramelization. Remove the pan from heat stir in the remaining butter and ½ cup of the heavy cream. Pour into a large bowl and let cool until just barely warm — almost room temperature. If it's thickens so it won't pour, add a bit of warm water to loosen. Beat the remaining heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold a quarter of the whipped cream into the caramel to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream

Wonderful stay at this cozy cabin!
I can't say enough about this wonderful property! The cabin was spotlessly clean and well equipped. There was nothing missing we could have asked for - there was even shampoo and conditioner in the shower! As many previous reviewers have noted, the bed was incredibly comfortable. Getting out of bed in the morning was the only chore of our day. Doug and Cheryl were very helpful throughout our short stay. Doug suggested a lovely hike for us to take, and was kind enough to let us interrupt his busy day to drive us up the river and supply tubes (and Cheryl dug up a floating cooler!) so we could tube back to the house. The location of this cabin is wonderful with riverfront views and close access to the lake. We were also able to use their kayaks for a quick trip out on the lake. We couldn't have asked for more and we will definitely be back again, hopefully for a longer stay!
Cozy Cottage Getaway
Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Our group ranging in ages from 3 to 85 was challenging to accomodate but everyone was able to find their niche. Despite some rainy weather and very variable temperatures we were able to enjoy walking across the bridge into town and making s'mores over the fire pit. Big family dinners out on the porch were really enjoyable but dependent on how cold it was. The netflix was a big hit with the kids as was the comfortable family style seating in the living area. The adults enjoyed playing cards at the dining room table. There was an issue with scalding hot water when we first arrived, but the owners took care of it right away. I would caution others that the stairs are quite steep and a little precarious for the elderly and the neighborhood can be a bit noisy at night...especially on holiday week-ends.
Unique, Delightful, Distinctive
Unique. Distinctive. Delightful. When we crossed the threshold of the Station and entered the spacious layout, we were delighted to discover refined, country elegance. The craftsmanship and care that went into restoring this historic landmark was evident in every nook and cranny of this home away from home. The cozy furnishings consisted of timeless pieces with Adirondack accents that ranged from antique to handmade to modern, giving you a sense of being transported back and forth through time. To further emphasize the passage of time, the owner-designed blueprints and historic collages decorating the walls literally told the history of the building, the people and the place from its heydey to its present day restoration. Be sure to peruse Wilhem and Margreet's self published books to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of their creative process and the history of the Station and Sacandaga Park. The location of the Station was more than ideal, lending itself to a full range of local attractions and best kept secrets. (check out the side table in the "Waiting Room"). We were able to take advantage of the surrounding rivers, lakes, beaches, quaint towns, farmer's markets, ranches, and race track all within an hour and a half of the Station, not to mention the beach, boat dock, pub and golf course within walking distance. Next time, we will be sure to hit the waterfalls and trails nearby. Our stay at the Station was enjoyable, comfortable, restorative and intriguing. It was also accessible and affordable. We highly recommend the Station for a unique, distinctive, and delightful vacation!
