Chapter Three:
Civil War and Decline of Industry (continued)
The Furnace: "A Relict Industry"
As the builders of the western Maryland railroads were determining the proper route through the mountainous area, the Kunkles saw an opportunity. Jacob Kunkle, arguing that the train would move along a more level grade, petitioned the directors to route the railroad through Catoctin Furnace. Such a path would obviously create opportunities for the family business. In the end, however, the designers chose to lay tracks six miles to the north of the furnace. [46]
Bypassed by the railroad, using increasingly outdated technology as the era of steel approached, and operating in the thick of a competitive industry, somehow the Catoctin Furnace managed to survive into next century. To historian Malcolm Davies, the survival of the furnace offers a prime example of a "relict industry" able to endure the changing economic times of the late nineteenth century. [47] Key to the survival of the furnace was the dedicated, hands-on ownership of the Kunkles, the availability of local markets and abundant natural resources. The last years of the furnace, however, were anything but easy. The Kunkles struggled to keep the furnace technologically up-to-date and suffered perennial shutdowns. It was a difficult battle, doomed to ultimately failure, but for the families depending upon the furnace, including many farmers who periodically worked as choppers and colliers, the survival of the relict industry was a godsend.
At the end of the Civil War, the Kunkles had every reason to believe that their newly-purchased enterprise would continue to thrive. The Civil War had created great demand for iron, and, with the promise of greater industrialization following the war, the demand was expected to grow. Markets for pig iron to produce pipes, stoves, and machine parts promised profitable times. [48]
With the death of John Kunkle, Sr., in 1866, the enterprise at Catoctin passed to his two sons. That same year, John B. bought out his attorney brother to become sole owner of the furnace and properties. Anticipating a great market for pig iron and rail iron in Europe, Kunkle actively campaigned for trade regulations that would help American manufacturers of iron. He also planned to expand his operations at Catoctin. [49] Kunkle hired additional workers and in 1873 built a new furnace stack, the Deborah, named for his wife. The Deborah utilized exciting new technology. It was a steam-powered, coke-burning furnace, 50 feet high and 12 feet in diameter. [50] Alongside the Deborah, the Isabella, burning charcoal, remained in use. At peak operations, the furnace may have employed as many as 500 men: roughly 100 manning the furnace, 300 chopping wood and making charcoal, and 100 men working in the open pits of the ore and limestone banks. [51] During busy times, the furnace even imported carloads of Italian immigrants from Baltimore to help with the work load. [52]
In no way were the Kunkles absentee owners. John B. Kunkle served as iron master at the furnace and lived in the large house adjoining the enterprise. The German-descended Kunkle family fit in well in the Catoctin area and quickly became a fixture of local life. Lillian Kunkle, daughter of John, became superintendent of the small church school associated with Harriet's Chapel at Catoctin Furnace. [53] Not only were family investments tied up in the furnace, but so were family lives.
Clearly, the abundant natural resources in the area continued to facilitate iron production. Magnetite ore unique to the area could be found in great abundance. [54] Enormous quantities of limestone and timber were also nearby. Charcoaling, by the second half of the nineteenth century, had been practiced and perfected on the mountain for nearly a hundred years. Farmers during their off-seasons could provide additional labor for chopping wood and charcoaling. Even children contributed by gathering leaves for the charcoal pits. [55]
Another factor working in favor of the furnace was the presence of local markets, particularly in Baltimore. Pig iron produced at Catoctin was ideal for railroad car wheels. Into the twentieth century, railroad wheels made from charcoal iron had the reputation of being superior to steel. [56] The Catoctin Furnace appears to have had a long-standing relationship with Lobdell Railroad wheel manufacturing company of Wilmington, Delaware. Access to local markets such as Lobdell and others in Baltimore provided Catoctin Furnace with a much needed life-line during changing economic times. [57]
Alongside the coke furnace, Kunkle introduced other technology to expedite work at Catoctin, including steam-powered shovels on tracks to facilitate open-pit mining. [58] In 1886, the railroad that the Kunkles had wanted twenty years earlier finally came to Catoctin. L.R. Waesche of Mechanicstown and Steiner Schley, of Frederick, together, financed a rail connection between the Western Maryland Railroad Depot in Mechanicstown to Catoctin Furnace four miles south. This replaced the old system of hauling pig iron and coke in wagons driven by teams of six or eight mules. [59] Conveniently the railroad used slag from the furnace as ballast (slag also was used on roads and for filling purposes). [60] The founders named their railroad, built primarily to serve the furnace, the Monocacy Valley Railroad (MVRR).
J.B. Kunkle, proud owner of the furnace, never saw the railroad in operation; he died of pneumonia in 1885. Kunkle's obituary noted his early success with the furnace and willingness to invest in the operations. But Kunkle's 1873 decision to expand the operation by constructing a new stack, the obituary noted, was "probably a mistake." As the business declined and periodic shutdowns grew more frequent, Kunkle attempted to reorganize the business as a joint-stock company, with himself as a member. But few could be found who were willing to invest in the relict industry. Nevertheless, Kunkle's devotion to the furnace and its workers remained his overriding concern: "withal whenever the price of iron poised to make it possible to produce without a loss Mr. Kunkle started the furnace and gave employment to all he could. He then undoubtedly kept want from the door of many of the hands." [61]
For several years, Kunkle's family, operating under the name Catoctin Iron Works, struggled to keep the furnace afloat. The family attempted to diversify by adding a paint manufacturing plant utilizing waste ochre from the iron mining. [62] But within two years, the newly-minted Catoctin Iron Works went into receivership. In 1888, at a public auction, Thomas Gorsuch of Westminster, Maryland purchased for $75,000 the enterprise and 9,000 acres associated with the furnace. By 1892, Gorsuch's efforts to revive the furnace collapsed, and it sat vacant for several years. In 1899, a group calling itself the Blue Mountain Iron and Steel Company purchased the property.
As the new century opened, prospects for making profits from the production of pig iron could not have been bleaker. The construction of an enormous integrated steel mill at Sparrows Point southeast of Baltimore signaled the final triumph of steel. [63] Nevertheless, the Blue Mountain Iron and Steel Company began a major rebuilding project at the relict furnace. The new ownership introduced steam engines to replace hand and horse power. Workers dug a second mine south of the furnace by steam shovel and built a new ore stock house. [64] By May of 1900, the furnace was back in blast, and, according to the local newspaper: "[t]he output of furnace is of a very high grade on which circumstances all concerned are to be congratulated." [65] Predictably, within months the furnace was again in trouble, and the new owners were looking for a buyer. [66]
When no investor could be found, the furnace, enduring more and more periodic shutdowns, struggled on. By 1903, the company was no longer paying its bills nor meeting its payroll, and the workers were growing fed up. According to Catoctin Furnace resident William Renner, reality finally hit the workers on a Sunday evening in 1903. Recognizing that time had passed by the century-and-quarter-old enterprise and that no revival was on the horizon, the furnace hands simply turned off the pumps that siphoned water out of the mine pits. The mine pits filled up, and iron was never again produced at Catoctin. [67]
Life and Labor at Catoctin
Working at the furnace was never easy, but in its final years with the frequent shutdowns the experience was, no doubt, particularly difficult. Under Kunkle, roughly 350 men worked in the furnace operations, including wood cutters and miners. Increasing numbers of Irish workers also worked in the furnace. Also, as previously mentioned, in busy times, supplementary workers in the form of immigrants, apparently Italians, would be brought in from Baltimore along the Western Maryland Railroad. [68]
The Catoctin work day was long. Former employees recalled that the furnace operated around the clock, with workers assigned to ten to twelve hour shifts. [69] But the actual work day could be even longer. Former furnace worker Henry Fraley remembered: "there were no hours; it was all day long, as long as you could stand." Pay scales ran between nine cents an hour for unskilled workers, and thirteen cents for skilled workers. Management paid wood cutters on a piecemeal basis--at roughly fifty cents a ton.
But work was anything but steady. It would have been a rare year when the furnace did not suffer at least one shutdown. In 1876, for instance, the furnace shut down in early January. "The stoppage of Catoctin Furnaces," reported the Catoctin Clarion, "makes a visible impression on the money market of Mechanicstown." [70] By mid-March, owner J.B. Kunkle restarted the operation to the relief of "all particularly those who have been out of employment for the past four months." [71] But within a few days, the furnaces again shut down, and the Catoctin Clarion reported "dear only knows when it will reopen." [72] 1876 was no doubt a particularly difficult year, but the periodic layoffs must have had a devastating impact on the furnace workers.
Throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, the village of Catoctin Furnace was essentially a company town. The furnace proprietor owned the town. The company rented out roughly sixty houses and operated a boarding house. Workers paid between $2 and $4 for their homes (average incomes in a good year would run roughly $20-$25 per month). Management required renters to whitewash homes each year by May 30. [73] The company also ran a general store, at its peak, employing four to five clerks. Management paid workers in script redeemable at the store. Workers also could buy on credit from the store and have bills deducted from paychecks. [74]
Following the Civil War, all workers at the furnace were wage earners, but the work force remained ethnically and racially diverse. As was the case in many factories and mills at the time, work assignments at Catoctin appear to have been segregated. The 1870 Census, for instance, listed eight Irish-born laborers as working in the iron mines. In addition, the census listed a mine worker of Bavarian origin and a furnace founder from Prussia. [75] Several African Americans held jobs at the furnace. One former worker recalled six African-American working in the open-face mines, filling cars, and taking them to a turntable for further transportation. [76] In February of 1874, the failure to supply a boiler with adequate water resulted in a major explosion that was heard for miles. The blast killed two African-American furnace workers, James Norris and Samuel Mitchell, and severely injured several other workers, and "cast a gloom over the whole neighborhood." [77]
Accidents were a major component of life at the furnace. One former employee remembered work in the casting house, where hot iron was channeled into pig iron molds then broken off by workers, as particularly dangerous. Casting house workers took precautions, including wearing heavy wood soles attached to their shoes by a strip of leather. Nevertheless, remembered a worker, "many burns" were suffered. [78] In another tragedy, in 1889, an ore mine car drawn by mules ran over and killed its thirteen-year-old driver who had attempted to stop and retrieve a cow bell under the car. Dr. William McPherson, owner of Auburn House, was summoned, but could do nothing for the teenager. [79] On another occasion, fireman Roger Weddle lost a leg in an accident. [80] Even on the mountain, danger accompanied furnace work. The job of charcoaling was particularly fraught with hazards. At one point a wagon filled with charcoal on its way to the furnace caught fire, searing the teamster and forcing him to climb aboard his team of horses to calm them. [81]
Life at the furnace, thus, offered few rewards and presented the constant challenge of low-pay, lay-offs, and accidents. With little to lose, the decision in 1903 to simply turn off the pumps is readily understandable.
The Rise of Tourism
From the time of the earliest settlers, the mountain had provided residents with recreation and leisure along with the valuable natural resources that drove local industry. Well before the Civil War, picnickers and hikers, believing in the benefits of fresh air and pure water, enjoyed the beauty of the mountain. [82] In the years following the Civil War, many Americans enjoyed greater prosperity and more leisure time. For the first time, recreational sports, especially baseball, gained popularity. By 1876, Mechanicstown had its own baseball club, actively playing teams from other towns. [83] Another example of the growth of leisure was the rise of ice cream. During the summer months, Catoctin residents began streaming to local establishments serving the frozen delight. "Call to see me often and I will make you cool," promised one local ice cream parlor. [84]
But it was with the arrival of the railroad that recreation increasingly became a business in the Catoctins (see Appendix 8). John Mifflen Hood, president of the Western Maryland Railroad, viewing such activities as integral to the success of his enterprise, was an aggressive promoter of tourism and recreation. In 1877, Hood constructed an amusement park/vacation resort at Pen Mar, near the Pennsylvania border. Easily accessible along the railroad route, the village quickly became "the most fashionable summer colony in the East." Soon over one hundred hotels and boarding houses sprang up at Pen Mar, as did observation towers and dance pavilions. [85] Real estate prices soared in the area. By 1889, land that a few years previous would have sold for $700 went for $7,000. [86] At every stage in development, the Western Maryland Railroad was intimately involved, even helping with the mortgage in 1883 for the Blue Mountain House, one of the large hotels at Pen Mar. [87]
Hood's railroad ran special excursion trains to Pen Mar throughout the warmer months. An express train from Baltimore ran to Pen Mar each day except Sunday. The trip took roughly two and a half hours. [88] Such special trains would sometimes include an oyster dinner. [89] Residents of the Mechanicstown area eagerly joined the swarms going to the resort. With the mountain areas now easily accessible by rail to city dwellers, other resort areas also opened their doors. One of the most successful was Braddock Heights, to the west of Frederick.
The Mechanicstown-Foxville area could not hope to compete with such well-funded initiatives. But with the arrival of the railroad, a nascent tourist industry emerged in the area. Boarding houses sprang up in Mechanicstown. Residents of Rocky Ridge and Graceham organized yearly festivals to attract vacationers. Graceham's mid-June festival attracted a "constant stream of buggies, jaggers and hacks . . . along East Main Street." [90] In 1885, The Catoctin Clarion declared: "in no summer since we have known Mechanicstown has there been so large a number of visitors as during this season." [91] Soon community leaders were lamenting the lack of "a first-class summer hotel" in town to further attract vacationers. [92] Meanwhile there was also talk of establishing small cottage colonies for vacationers. In 1890, a group of Georgia businessmen arrived in the area with the intention of establishing such a development near Blue Ridge Summit. [93]
The small village of Foxville, on the west end of the mountain, also put its best foot forward to lure visitors. Foxville boarding houses like the Glynden House and the Spring Grove House, by the summer of 1885, were attracting visitors from Washington, Annapolis, and Baltimore. Sojourners in Foxville could enjoy evening promenades and entertainment by a "submarine band." [94]
That same summer, Foxville exploded in excitement with the news that President Grover Cleveland would visit the popular Gap Falls Mineral Springs Park near Foxville. The small town went into manic preparations. Hundreds lined the railroad station waiting for the president. But at the last minute, Cleveland apparently decided to vacation elsewhere. "The disappointment was great," reported the local newspaper. [95]
It would be nearly fifty years before the area finally would become a retreat for the nation's highest officer. Nevertheless, the face of mountain in the second half of the nineteenth century was again changing. New attitudes about the benefits of the picturesque region emerged. The mountains remained an important source of raw materials for many years, but gradually they began to supply other needs as well.
Farming on the Mountain
For some farmers the arrival of the railroad also brought changes and new opportunities. In 1885, The Catoctin Clarion would declare that since the arrival of the Western Maryland Railroad fifteen years before, "farmers awoke from the lethargy, land improved, crops increased and produce found a ready market in our great commercial center." [96] For those with larger farms in Harbaugh Valley and the Mechanicstown District, the railroad did appear to open new markets. Wheat production in Maryland soared, hitting a record high in 1900, when the state produced 16.6 million bushels of wheat. [97] Throughout upper Frederick County, farmers grew much wheat, but Indian corn, not wheat, remained the largest crop. In the Mechanicstown area, many farmers enjoyed yields of several hundred bushels of wheat--some producing yields of nearly a thousand bushels. Larger farms, such as Leonard Harbaugh's 175-acre farm, in Harbaugh Valley, yearly producing 175 bushels of wheat easily thrived despite nationally falling prices throughout the late nineteenth century. [98]
Farms in Hauver District, encompassing most of the mountain area west of Mechanicstown, tended to be smaller and less focused on cash crops such as wheat. While many of the farmers who owned land that later became park property held tracts of well over 100 acres, rarely did they possess more than forty acres of improved land . Yost Wiant--the mountain land owner who shows up most frequently in the census records--owned forty acres of improved land in 1850 on a plot of roughly 100 acres. Within thirty years he added more unimproved land, but kept his farm at roughly 40 acres. Wiant grew Indian corn and kept chickens, swine, and cows, from whose milk he produced butter. In 1880, he produced 160 bushels of apples and 200 cords of wood. [99]
Wiant's land appears to have been among the least productive in the area. Other farms did somewhat better. In 1870, Levi Brown (park tract 103) owned a 160-acre plot of which 95 acres were improved. Brown produced 150 bushels of Indian corn, 100 bushels of oats, and 160 bushels of wheat. He appears to have been one of the few in the area to have grown wheat. [100] Brown's farm was listed as worth $7,000 compared to Wiant's $4,000 holdings. Wealthier yet was Peter Hauver (tract 153), whose farm was valued at $2,150. Encompassing only 20 acres of improved land, one must assume that Hauver's livestock holdings, including 3 horses, 3 cows, 10 sheep, and 7 swine, significantly added to the value of his holdings. In addition to his twenty-acre farm, Hauver also owned almost 200 acres of forest land from which he produced $350 a year in "forest products." Like Brown, Hauver also grew wheat--roughly 20 bushels per year. [101]
Most of the other farmers on what is now park land owned between 40 to 70 acres of improved land. The most frequently grown grain crop was Indian corn. Many farmers also grew potatoes, several producing over 100 bushels. Orchard crops such as apples and peaches added to the produce yielded by the mountain. Farmers kept a variety of livestock, but most owned 2 or 3 cows, and between 3 and 6 swine. Without question, the farms of Catoctin Mountain were small subsistence-based agricultural holdings. It was a rare farm in Hauvers District in the second half of the nineteenth century that was worth over $5,000. Given the nature of most of the farms, slavery was rare outside the immediate furnace area. Only two slaves appear as living in Hauver's District in the 1850 census. Farms in the Mechanicstown District tended to be significantly larger--some up to 12,000 acres. Many also exceeded $10,000 in value.
Few people living in the valley afforded much attention to the mountain areas (although many owned small, wooded tracts). The one exception was the occasional excitement related to a snake killing. In June of 1876, for instance, a party of boys near Chimney Rock killed "a monster black snake," measuring six feet in length. [102] The mountain was home to many snakes--most of which were harmless. But rattlesnakes upset the public. Later in the summer of 1876, a man killed a 44-inch rattlesnake near Wolf Rock, earning him heroic mention in the local newspaper. [103]
The presence of rattlesnakes threatened one of the popular activities enjoyed in the mountains--huckleberry and blackberry gathering. In 1889, the local newspaper noted that the blackberry "demand is exhausting supply." But the paper also acknowledged the threat to harvesting posed by rattlesnakes. [104]
That same summer brought an event that no doubt long remained in the memories of both valley and mountain dwellers. In June, several days of rain drove water over the banks of Owens and Hunting Creeks. Headlines proclaimed: "Owens Creek Becomes a Mad River." The eldest inhabitants could not remember a flood with such ferocity. Engineers for the Monocacy Valley Railroad placed several cars on a railroad bridge, hoping to use the weight to prevent a washout. Elsewhere, flood waters washed out several miles of the Western Maryland Railroad and destroyed crops and fields along Hunting Creek. Despite the destruction of the flood, western Marylanders could feel lucky that they were spared the worst. The same flood waters that sent the local creeks over their banks burst a dam in Pennsylvania and destroyed the entire town of Johnstown, killing over 2,000 people. [105]
Despite the 1889 flood, census data and the few other records we have for mountain life in the nineteenth century suggest a slow existence in which farming and supplemental work such as charcoaling and timbering provided locals with a steady subsistence but little beyond. [106] While the railroad transformed industrial and agricultural life in the valleys below, for mountaineers, the nineteenth century brought few drastic changes.
The second half of the nineteenth century, then, was a period in which the signs of change could be seen--if one looked carefully. The furnace persisted, and even expanded at times. But an informed observer would see the enterprise more as a relict industry than a harbinger of new industrial potential. Meanwhile, signs of an emerging recreational economy were popping up in the form of boarding houses and tourists transported to the region by trains. The arrival of the Western Maryland Railroad offered a new and convenient source of transportation tying the Catoctin area closer to larger cities and towns. As the century came to an end, mountain residents continued to work simple subsistence farms, bartering for needed goods, and charcoaling or logging to earn extra money--much as they had toward the beginning of the century. But such lifestyles would not survive long into the next century.

Here are more questions that come in the form of search keywords whereby people have found my Squidoo lens or this blog. Obviously if they are using questions as search terms they are looking for answers so to the best of my ability I am going to answer some more questions about Pancreatitis.
1) Can pancreatitis kill you?
Unfortunately yes, pancreatitis can and does kill people. Either the Acute Pancreatitis episode is so bad that they die of shock, organ failure or develop necrotizing pancreatitis which results in the death of about 30% of those who get it. If the damage done is bad enough they can still die of further complication.
2) Can chronic pancreatitis kill you?
Yes chronic pancreatitis can kill you. It can develop into acute pancreatitis of cancer of the pancreas. Many people with chronic pancreatitis eventually realize so much damage they suffer complications with lethal consequences or need to have their pancreas removed.
3) Can you get pancreatitis more than once?
Usually once is all you need to make it a lifetime experience of pleasure (that was sarcastic). There are some instances from what I have read where a patient has one mild attack and recovers completely but I doubt that holds true for the majority of cases. So in either case, whether this person is looking for an answer as to how many Acute Pancreatitis episodes you can have or if you have had one mild episode and were lucky enough to completely recover with no residual experience for say several years, can it occur again? In either instance the answer is yes.
4) How many mgs of grape seed extract for pancreatitis?
Here is the right answer: As many milligrams as it takes to find releief. Grape seed extract is non-toxic but it is so powerful in regards to eliminating free radicals and cleansing that large amounts can make you feel sick at first due to the overload of toxins flushed out through the liver and kidneys. It is best to start slowly with 50 - 100mgs 2 x per day and build up to the amount you need to begin feeling results as far as pain and nausea relief, due to the elimination of inflammation. In other words do not start with 1000 mg doses, start with 50 - 100mgs twice a day, then go to 3 times per day before you increase the dose in milligrams.
5) Why is it so damn hard for a gastroenterologist to diagnose chronic pancreatitis?
God only knows but I do have several thoughts on the subject.
A) They don't know how to diagnose. in other words they shouldn't be doctors because they simply don't have the combination of brains and common sense necessary to come to a correct diagnosis unless the condition jumps up and slaps them in the face. I've met doctors who couldn't diagnose an infected pimple on their own nose without a CT scan.
B) They don't listen because they don't care and are more concerned with when they get off to play golf or if it's time to bang some nurse.
C) They think patient's are stupid liars who have nothing better to do than waste their time because the patient is lonely.
D) They think they know what the patient's symptoms are better than the patient does and so disregards what the patient tell them.
E) They see to many patients in a day, are tired and can't think because they want more money.
Go ahead and pick one that fits the best for your circumstance.
6) Is it necessary to miss school with pancreatitis?
This has to be a parent asking, hoping their kid can go to school? I doubt if anyone who has had an acute pancreatitis episode would ask that question, of course I am assuming the patient feels ill? If the patient is ill and doesn't feel up to going to school they should definitely stay home because feeling ill is a BIG warning sign of impending Acute Pancreatitis.
7) Multiple mild acute pancreatitis doesn't lead to chronic
They don't? News to me. If the pancreas is damaged due to mild acute pancreatitis episodes it is going to become a case of chronic pancreatitis.
8) Is coconut oil good if you have chronic pancreatitis?
No. No oil is good when you have pancreatitis. The only exception is fish oil. Fish oil is highly anti-inflammatory but when your pancreas is inflamed it is not going to be a good thing to subject it to any kind of oil.
9) Do enzymes take the load off your pancreas?
Yes, enzymes are helpful for digesting food when you suffer fom pancreatitis and so they do in some respect help to take the load of producing enzymes for food digestion off your pancreas as long as they are the right enzymes.
10) Why do avocadoes cause me pancreatic pain?
Avocados cause pancreatic pain for the same reason fish oil may. Avocados are full of oil. It may be GOOD oil full of omega 3's and anti-inflammatory but an inflamed pacreas can not handle oil of any kind without reprocussions.
Ok, I'll answer more questions on another occassion.
I hope you have a pain free day.
Overcoming Pancreatitis - Living with Pancreatitis and OVERCOMING Pancreatitis resulting in pancreas healing are TWO different senarios. While living with both acute and chronic Pancreatitis for over 30 years I have discovered how to eliminate the pancreas pain and symptoms through a regimen of a strict pacreatitis diet and anti-inflammatory supplements. I am sharing exactly what I do so that you too can learn the secrets of Overcoming Pancreatitis.

Most of my dinner guests had never heard of Jicama, much less taste it. This beautiful salad is full of flavor, crunch, color, and packed with nutrients from the dark colored vegetables. The taste is crunchy, cool and savory-sweet. This is definitely a "show off dish" at your next get together. I last paired it with Beer-braised turkey tacos.

I modified this a bit to work with the vegetables I had on hand (added zucchini, omitted red onion) and it was delicious. Served it with grilled shrimp and warm corn tortillas.
mariecurie Posted: 07/11/12
This is a most excellent slaw. I wouldn't change any of the ingredients. Make it as written. I was a little leery making it because my husband is quite attached to cole slaw - but he loved it. It was also the first foray into jicama - I recommend giving it a try as well as this slaw.

Ooh Stealthfire, how much I agree. I am a huge Robert Jordan fangirl, and yes, I do know there are as many haters as lovers out there of his books. But I ADORE his longwinded descriptions, how I can taste the food, smell the air, touch the stone, it all becomes real to me. And then there's Knaak. He FORCES everything on me, but it does nothing. It is even... laughable at times. I remember the first book I read, and after 20 pages I just thought 'god, does this person write using a thesaurus on every word?'. It did not flow naturally at all, it did not serve its intended purpose, it just made reading even more tiring.
Nope, not a fan at all.

As relevant as when it was first published in 1968, groundbreaking director and cofounder of the Royal Shakespeare Company Peter Brook draws on a life in love with the stage to explore the issues facing a theatrical performance—of any scale. He describes important developments in theatre from the last century, as well as smaller scale events, from productions by Stanislavsky to the rise of Method Acting, from Brecht's revolutionary alienation technique to the free form happenings of the 1960s, and from the different styles of such great Shakespearean actors as John Gielgud and Paul Scofield to a joyous impromptu performance in the burnt-out shell of the Hamburg Opera just after the war.
Passionate, unconventional, and fascinating, this book shows how theatre defies rules, builds and shatters illusions, and creates lasting memories for its audiences.

U.S. Cameraman has Proof 9/11 was a Lie
- Activistposter
- uploaded: Dec 13, 2011
- Hits: 33
An American cameraman who says September 11 was a lie is facing extradition from Argentina to the United States on alleged murder charges. Kurt Sonnenfeld, a man who was provided provisory refugee status seven years ago, is now wanted by the US government on murder charges. He is the only cameraman that filmed crucial images of Ground Zero in New York after the Twin Towers collapsed.
Sonnenfeld, who lives in Buenos Aires with his Argentine family, says the footage proves that 9/11 was a lie. He still has the 22-hour footage that US authorities want.
"I have promised to give my footage to the big investigators that are credible and widely known - investigators who will be able to detect anomalies that I or other people without scientific education might miss. With that in mind, I hope that there are many things they can discover that disprove the current official story of what happened," Sonnenfeld told a Press TV correspondent.
He says he fears for his life if he is sent back to the United States to face trial. The Denver police have claimed they have evidence that show he killed his first wife in the US.
Social activists who are campaigning for Sonnenfeld to be given refugee status in Argentina say the Denver police are lying. The Sonnenfelds say they have been under police surveillance and that their phone has been tapped.
Sonnenfeld claims that his footage proves top US government officials were aware of the 2001 terrorist attacks before they occurred says he is a victim of a US plot to silence him.

he has been saying this for quite a while but yet the footage has yet to be released .... so its pretty obvious he is using it as insurance and for publicity, but i have to say if he is innocent i can accept his tactics ... but from the sound of it he may get extradited anyway so maybe his footage is really not such a smoking gun like he claims.the footage needs to be released online immediatly for all to see not a select bunch of people imo .... 22 hours of footage is really not that much to put online now days.11 2hr dvd's (50gb) would be sufficient for release in the public domain via torrent.i just hope he has made plans for its release if he gets bumped off or extradited and i really hope he made multiple copies.

CMU's Electric Garage now offers the only public Tesla charging station in Pittsburgh
Need to recharge? Carnegie Mellon University's Electric Garage is now home to a high-power wall connector for Tesla electric cars, joining eight existing vehicle recharging stations available for public use in the Oakland facility. All of the charging stations are available at no cost 24 hours a day on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Located at 4621 Forbes Ave., a former gas station now houses ChargeCar, a community-centered electric vehicle research project that wants to make electric vehicles practical and affordable enough to revolutionize urban commuting.
"This is definitely the largest charging infrastructure of any institution in this half of Pennsylvania, and likely anywhere in the state," said Illah Nourbakhsh, CMU professor of robotics and project director. "And the Tesla charger is the only one available to the public locally."
Made possible through private donations, the Tesla High Power Wall Connector at CMU's Electric Garage can provide 58 miles of range per hour of charge.
In January, Tesla's first Supercharger station in Pennsylvania opened in Somerset off of exit 110 of the I-70/I-76 turnpike, a toll road connecting Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Superchargers can replenish half of the battery in as little as 20 minutes. The Somerset station supports the Tesla cross-country route that will soon enable Model S owners to drive from Los Angeles to New York without paying a cent to refuel.
Interested in joining the electric car revolution but can't afford a new electric car? ChargeCar can help. In addition to lowering the costs for commercially-developed electric vehicles, the project helps people convert their cars in collaboration with local mechanics and garages. ChargeCar is hosting an open house from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday, April 4, during which gas vehicles converted to electric power and other electric vehicles will be on display.

Skullcandy S2SYDA-008 Merge Earbud Headphones - Black/Chrome

Kent Haruf has received prestigious awards, including a special citation from the PEN/Hemingway Foundation for his finely-tuned works. Before the opening chapter of this novel, Haruf offers a definition. Plainsong is "any simple and unadorned melody or air." Direct yet elegant, Haruf's Plainsong is a hymn to the breadth of the human spirit.
A high school history teacher in a small Colorado town, Guthrie is raising his two young sons alone. Thoughtful and honest, he is guiding them through a world that is not always kind. Victoria, one of his students, is pregnant, homeless, and vulnerable to the scorn of the town. When Guthrie helps two elderly ranchers take the young woman into their home, an unlikely extended family is born. As the chapters of these people's lives alternate throughout Plainsong, loneliness and need are transformed into nourishing bonds. Narrator Tom Stechschulte captures the subtle changes that bring the men, women, and children together. His performance highlights every shading of this superb New York Times best-seller.

Say something about yourself!
"A beautiful read"
One of those books that when you reach the end, you just wish it wasn't so.
"Comfort food for the brain"
N/A. I have not read the book.
I liked them all. The McPheran brothers, though were especially entertaining.
He is a good reader who captures the manner of speech in that part of Colorado well. I am a Co. Native who has been to Yuma (Holt) many times.
It wouldn't work well as a movie.
After a steady diet of spicy food, (thrillers and action novels) I needed some comfort food. This hit the spot.
"A taste of Real Life"
This is a story I can relate to - the characters are as real as life itself. Narrator does an excellent job
Can't compare Plainsong to any other author - it is unique
Tom's delivery provides flavor - his ability to create characters with different voice inflections is very valuable
Just an excellent work - the kind of story that you can connect with. Finishing this story made me crave for more.
There might be a beautiful story here to be told but for me profanity, crude language and graphic sex scenes ruin it. I quickly learned that this book was not my forte.

From Paula's Best Dishes
5 stars based on 7 Reviews
Servings: 24 cinnamon rolls
Prep Time:
Cook Time: 1 hour 10 min
Difficulty: Moderate
Cinnamon Buns:
Nonstick oil spray
1 cup yeast starter, recipe follows
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cups vegetable oil (recommended: Mazola)
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups hot tap water
1 (1 tablespoon) package dry active yeast
6 cups all-purpose flour (recommended: Pillsbury)
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, plus more if needed
1/2 cup ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins
4 cups 10x powdered sugar
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 package Miss Edies Bread Starter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Idaho potato flakes
1 teaspoon dry active yeast
1 1/2 cups warm-hot tap water
Starter: One day before you plan on baking the cinnamon buns combine the starter ingredients. Stir this mixture occasionally with a rubber spatula and your starter should soon start bubbling within 12 hours.
Cook's Note: You will know this because you will see bubbles along the side of the glass container and you may possibly see bubbling on the top of the mixture as well. Let this mixture sit bubbling, uncovered, until you are ready to make bread the next day. You might want to stir it occasionally. Remember this is a living culture and you will need to take care of it in order to keep it alive.
Buns: When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 170 degrees F. Prepare 2 (9 by 12-inch) rectangular baking dishes by spraying with nonstick oil spray.
In a mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix together starter, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, salt, water, yeast and flour.
After mixing the dough for about 2 minutes, remove the dough to a bowl sprayed with nonstick oil.
Cook's Note: If the dough mix is too loose, add more flour.
Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size. The rising process will take 1 to 4 hours, depending on the altitude and weather at the time and place you are making the buns.
When doubled, dump the whole pile of dough onto a well-floured surface and with a rolling pin manipulate the dough to make a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
Filling: Melt 2 sticks of butter to where it is creamy and spreadable. Spread the butter onto the dough triangle making sure you spread thoroughly to all corners. Sprinkle brown sugar and then cinnamon over the butter making sure that the whole triangle is covered, corner to corner. Top with chopped pecans and raisins.
Roll the dough into a tight roll. Cut with a serrated knife into 2-inch long rolls and place into the baking dishes.
Cook's Note: If using the rectangle baking dish, snuggle the buns together as if they were trying to keep each other very warm. You might want to manipulate the size of the pan to make sure that the buns are very snug in the pan.
You do not have to cover the rolls, but you need to let them rise in an oven set at 170 degrees F to proof until you see that they are almost but not quite doubled in size, about 40 to 50 minutes. When you see that they are at that point, turn the oven up to 350 degrees F. Bake for 25 minutes until you see that they are truly golden on the top.
Cook's Note: A good test is when you take them out of the oven and push on the very center of a bun; if it sinks inward easily and feels doughy, they will need 5 to 10 minutes more cooking time.
Glaze/Icing: In a mixer beat powdered sugar and half-and-half until smooth and without lumps. Take the buns out of the oven and put them on a wire rack. Immediately glaze them with a pastry brush. After glazing all of the buns, go back over and glaze once again.
Cook's Note: If you desire, you can melt more butter on the top before serving. If warming buns after they are cool, 20 seconds in the microwave revives that incredible hot-out-of-the-oven taste. However, even cold, they are awesome.

I didn't really taste the advantage of roasting the bones. It was good but I am not sure that I would make it again. There was too much tumeric.
Lemon Chicken Soup with Dumplings
Photo: Nina Choi; Styling: Lisa Lee
Roasting the bones adds richer, deeper flavor to the stock. If you don't see chicken bones in your butcher's case, ask for them. Take your time when tempering the egg (used to add body to the soup) with the hot broth; the payoff is a smooth, silky texture. Make-ahead tip: Cook and chill the stock a day ahead; skim solidified fat from cold stock before heating and proceeding with recipe.

Where to Hang Curtains with Crown Molding?
Good Questions

You might consider an unorthodox approach I used to hide an open area above a closet in my home - hang them from the ceiling! A bracket like this one: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/70117172/ can easily be hung from above instead of out from the wall. No need to awkwardly attach them to mouldings or ickily hang them below the moulding.
Definitely do not keep the tension rod. For the long and flowly look, my personal favorite is to always hang curtains at the ceiling. I can see with your molding, that hanging them on the molding might work well too. But make sure you let the curtain rod stretch out beyond the window frame. Here's the classic rule, from a previous post (which you may have seen already): http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/psa-hang-curtains-high-wide-elements-of-style-170163
Good luck!
If you're able to do some light carpentry work, create a drapery pocket by moving the molding away from the window wall and supporting with L brackets (or by adding some new moldings to what already exists). Floor to ceiling curtains would look lovely behind an architectural cornice.
I agree with gjhall to suspend the curtain rod from the ceiling. I was going to suggest it myself.
I, also, agree with gjhall. What a fabulous long, tall look it would be.
what gjahll said!
And Id use some gorgeous lace curtains.
Yikes, do not put the curtain rod at the ceiling when you have gallery moulding! In homes of the 20s, due to the dry wall being too soft for nails, you are supposed to buy gallery moulding hooks with framing wire and suspended your art from them. That's why the moulding is not to the ceiling.
In our home (which is also 20s with gallery moulding) we put the rod holders into the window moulding (not the gallery, but ours doesn't merge together like yours) because as above...the wall is too soft to hold weight. You can use anchors with some success, but it's dicey. It can take chunks out of the wall. That's fine if you're covering it with a mirror...less so with curtains.
I have the same problem as above, except with bay windows. I never thought about above! Kind of genius!!! Thanks!
Agree, not from (or to) the ceiling with that lovely molding around the room - you'll wreck the line of the room! Attach your rod holders to that molding, but further out from each side of the window by a few inches on each side.
I also live in a building from 1926, and I can't agree more about not hanging them from the ceiling! You'll but huge holes in your walls and who'd want to cover the gorgeous original details?! Attach the rod to the molding, extending the curtains a few inches past as previous comments have suggested. I also have a layered look, with puddles of ivory silk drapes on an iron curtain rod and long white linen sheers attached from a tension rod that you can't see because of the drapes on the rod cover it. It really highlights the height of the room.

Quick Hit: Why are runways so white?
By Alexandra | Published: March 20, 2013
TweetSpoiler: the answer is racism. BuzzFeed invited five fashion show casting directors to talk about why almost every model we see walking down the runway are white. Some of their answers, like James Scully's, won't make you want to vomit: Scully's conception of diversity is more meaningful than the common tokenism he calls out, though [...]

Your favorite High Line Kids programs are back for the summer! In July and August, families are invited to build, play, and explore during weekly drop-in programs.
Explore the natural world through hands-on activities during Wild Wednesday, Wednesdays 4:00 – 6:00 PM; enjoy a delightful morning of storytelling, sing-alongs, bubbles, and blocks during Lawn Time for Little Ones, Thursdays 10:00 – 11:30 AM; and create sculptures that turn, move, and roll during Arty Hours, Saturdays (except August 30) 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM.

We're pleased to inform you that the 23rd Street elevator has reopened to the public as of June 27.
During Hurricane Sandy, salt water from the Hudson River surged to 10th Avenue, completely flooding the underground vault below the High Line that powers the elevator. The extensive damage caused by the salt water necessitated a full rebuild of the elevator's systems. The elevator's new, upgraded systems will bring improved and more reliable service to the public.
The elevator's reconstruction process was a top priority for Friends of the High Line and the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, and Friends of the High Line will continue to monitor the elevator's to address any further performance issues as quickly as possible.
We are grateful for your support, assistance, guidance, and patience through the elevator's reconstruction.
Due to anticipated crowds near the High Line for NYC Pride, the park will close at 6:00 PM on Sunday, June 29, in cooperation with the New York City Police Department and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.
Regular park hours will resume on Monday, June 30.
We're celebrating the beginning of summer with two evenings of free live music in the park.
Join us on Saturday, June 21, for a free bluegrass concert. From 5:00 to 8:00 PM, a fantastic lineup of bluegrass bands will jam in the 14th Street Passage. See our calendar listing for details.
And on Wednesday, June 25, get ready to groove at this summer's first ¡Arriba! night. Orlando Marin, the Last Mambo King, and his dynamic band will be heating up the dance floor with traditional salsa and merengue rhythms. For more information, see our calendar listing.
The High Line is open daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

While you're here, check out the delicious offerings from our High Line Food vendors. You can enjoy a frozen treat, savory meal, or refreshing drink right here on the High Line.
Beginning Sunday, June 1, the High Line will be open from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM each day in accordance with our summer schedule.

The High Line is following its regular spring schedule – 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM – on Monday, May 26.

The High Line's gardens are in a frenzy of growth, and new blooms and green shoots seem to appear daily. We're open every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Beginning June 1, we'll switch to our summer schedule, and you'll be able to enjoy the park until 11:00 PM.
Before your visit, check out our May bloom list, High Line Art map, and self-guide. You can also find helpful information in the Plan Your Visit section of our website. And don't forget to stop by the High Line Food vendors to enjoy a sweet treat, savory meal, or refreshing drink.
Raise a glass, because Terroir at The Porch – the High Line's open-air café – has returned for another season.
Take in sweeping view of the Hudson River while enjoying savory dishes and crisp drinks from Terroir's outstanding wine and beer list, which highlights artisanal wineries and breweries from New York State. Terroir at The Porch is located on the High Line at West 15th Street, and is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 9:00 PM.
You can also find sweet treats and meals from our other excellent High Line Food vendors operating carts from Little West 12th to West 17th Streets. See hours and locations.
A new High Line Billboard, Groovin High by acclaimed artist Faith Ringgold, is on view at West 18th Street and 10th Avenue.
Depicting a crowded dance hall bordered by quilted hand-dyed fabrics, Groovin High is evocative of Ringgold's memories of Sunday afternoon dances at the Savoy and her connection to the African American communities of her native Harlem. Ringgold's joyful work, the fourteenth installment on High Line Billboard, will be up through June 2.

Diablo 3 Error 37 no cause for concern, say Blizzard in launch day preparation guide
Error 37 eh? We're already troubleshooting Diablo 3 and it's not even out yet. Blizzard have released a launch day preparation guide that covers everything from early installs, to the exact time of release in your region, to the mysterious Error 37 message that might rear it's ugly head come May 15th. It's an error message you might get when logging in early on. The solution? Just try again.
Global play will kick in once Diablo 3 is released in all regions. There's also the chance of a 40 second delay when logging in on release night. Still, after four years of waiting, 40 seconds isn't that big a deal.
And lets not dwell on hypothetical hiccups: Diablo 3 is within sniffing distance. And man, it smells good. One week to go! YEAH!

Found August 23, 2013 on NFL Injury Report:
PLAYERS: Calvin Johnson, Jim Schwartz
TEAMS: Detroit Lions, New England Patriots
TEAMS: Detroit Lions, New England Patriots
The Detroit Lions once again held wide receiver Calvin Johnson out as they took on the New England Patriots last night in their third preseason game. Johnson continues to be hampered by a bruised knee, but the Lions haven't indicated that the ailment will keep the All-Pro from taking the field Week 1. Earlier this week, head coach Jim Schwartz suggested that Johnson would be ready to play for the team's third preseason game. While Johnson was able to participate in dynamic speed drills during warm-ups last night, Josina Anderson of ESPN reported that it appeared the wide out pulled up at one point. After that, Johnson was stretched and spoke with quarterback Matthew Stafford. He then indicated to reporters that he wasn't playing. Calvin seem to pullup a tad on 1 of his routes in w/u. Got stretched after. Stafford came over. I asked if he's playing, shook his head no. — Josina Anderson (@JosinaAnderson) August 22, 2013 Detroit continues to call Johnson's absence very precautionary, and if it were the regular season you'd have to assume he'd be suiting up. It doesn't seem like the knee bruise should hamper Johnson into the regular season, even if the Lions elect to hold him out of their final preseason game.

Theo James stars as Walter William Clark, Jr., the youngest ever New
York City police commissioner at the age of 34. Yet, this show isn't
about him being the police commissioner, which would have been better.
This show is instead about how he became the youngest ever commissioner.
You only see him as commissioner, only in the sense of him in his fancy
office telling the story of how he became commissioner to a reporter,
played by Richard Kind. It's like Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar,
except Theo James doesn't have to put on old age makeup. Theo James
still gets to be his young, sexy self. It remains to be seen if the show
will flash back-and-forth between Walter Clark being commissioner and
him still being a detective on the rise. If writer and creator Nicholas
Wootten (NYPD Blue and Law & Order) is smart, he will structure the show like Lost
and have the commissioner storyline be a storyline running concurrently
with the detective storyline, which relates or parallels it. If Wootten
is really smart, he'll only focus on the commissioner storyline and
forget the detective storyline. If he isn't smart, he'll do what the
pilot episode does and setup a structure similar to How I Met Your Mother.
The show opens with Clark as commissioner briefly. Quickly, it rewinds, literally rewinds, to seven years prior to when he was promoted to detective after he performed a daring rescue by stopping an armed robbery at a check cashing place, saving a woman and his fellow officer who got shot. Clark is given a choice of where he's assigned and he chooses the homicide unit. At 27, he's the youngest in the unit. Instead of starting slow and building credential, he puts his hand in various cases, whether asked or not. He rushes into situations and jumps into investigations.
Some people take a liking to this and others don't. Kevin Alejandro (Southland and True Blood) co-stars as Tony Arroyo, a slightly older detective who at first laughs off Clark's eagerness and brashness but then immediately warms up to him. Chi McBride (Boston Public and Pushing Daisies) also co-stars as Don Owen, an older and clearly veteran detective who warms to Clark too, but Owen has to be the stern taskmaster or at times the Morgan Freeman from Seven (1995). He sometimes has to tell Clark to slow down or think about other things than just his ambition or career.
All of this is interesting on paper, but as it plays out, it feels not much different from any other CBS procedural. Of the top 25 television programs, a large chunk is CBS procedurals, particularly police procedurals. Several of which take place in New York and all of which follow the same formula. Some of those shows have a hook or some kind of angle. One or two stand out. Some like CSI: NY just bleeds together with the others.
Golden Boy has an angle that could make it stand out, but it chooses not to use it. It would rather pretend to have an angle, different from the rest, if only to justify CBS adding yet another police procedural to its schedule, which the network has proven to be a profitable standard. The angle is having a hunky, young guy in a powerful and important position. It's more akin to Doogie Howser, M.D. (1989), but with far less humor and more brawn than brain.
Realistically, if the show were doing an actual series about a New York police commissioner, having Walter Clark would be a stretch. The current NYC commissioner is Raymond W. Kelly and he's 71 right now. He's been commissioner for decades, but he first started at age 50. There have been others to get the job who were younger, but realistically the character of Walter Clark is still ten to twenty years away from true consideration.
Yet, CBS doesn't want a show about a 50 or even 70-year-old as the star of a Friday series. The network would prefer someone like Theo James, an English actor who's known in England for the series Bedlam, which he was marketed as the sexy, new thing. Here, CBS gets to do the same. Yes, James affects a decent, New York accent and, yes, he's good in his action scenes, given his muscular build, but I'm not yet convinced of him as an actor. Even if he's okay as an actor, he could get away for years on his gorgeous face.
Greg Berlanti, who wrote for Dawson's Creek and created shows like Everwood and Arrow, knows how to find young, gorgeous faces or individuals, particularly men with rock-hard bodies. Like Stephen Amell in Arrow, often having six-pack abs trumps having intelligent acting ability. The show in general seems to prefer the muscular over the mental. It would rather see Theo James running around, waving a gun and tackling criminals than being in that commissioner's office dealing with city-wide issues.
Not since Batman (1966) has there been a TV series with a police commissioner as a regular character. Let alone the protagonist! Given the many issues that Commissioner Kelly has had to handle over the decades like terrorism, civil liberties, crime rates, brutality, etc., having Clark be the commissioner and deal with those issues or related ones would have been vastly more interesting.
New York City has already had an African-American commissioner. In fact, NYC has had two. Instead of the so called "Golden Boy," the show could have had a Hispanic or Asian commissioner. It could have had a female commissioner or a gay commissioner. Golden Boy in that regard doesn't take any risks. It wastes its angle. It merely devolves into a lame or run-of-the-mill procedural that CBS has done time and time again.
One Star out of Five.
Rated TV-PG-LV.
