Tradition never graduates.
It just gets passed on.
That was the message of Creston/O-M head football coach Brian Morrison at Sunday's team banquet.
Morrison and the rest of the program said farewell to the senior class from this year's 6-4 playoff team. It was the freshman class when Morrison succeeded longtime coach Dick Bergstrom as the face of the program, so he said it is a special group.
"It will not only be difficult to replace these guys on the football field, but their character and leadership are outstanding," Morrison said. "A lot of responsibility falls on our junior and sophomore classes to uphold the standards these guys have set."
Team growth
The numbers in the program are growing, Morrison noted. Next year he anticipates the largest number of players in grades 10-12 since he became head coach, and the 18-member junior class could be the largest group of seniors since his first year in Creston 12 years ago.
This year there were 14 sophomores and a 22-member freshman team. Only five of the sophomores were in attendance and introduced Sunday.
There were 11 seniors this year, but John Gravlin was unable to play because of injuries. Morrison said he continued to attend all practices and games and assisted the coaches in various capacities.
Adam Baker, he said, was unselfish last year in being moved to offensive guard. This year he returned to running back and rushed for 1,159 yards, second only to Harlan's Nate Gettys in District 1. He was also a starting defensive end.
Trey Benson showed his potential at the summer team camp at Northwest Missouri State, Morrison said, but suffered a broken thumb in his last game there. That set him back in lifting and playing baseball, but he came on to contribute in a starting role at offensive tackle.
Alex Chapman is an example of how good things happen if you "stick it out," Morrison said, as he earned a starting role at defensive end as a senior as well as helping in the offensive line.
Already a regular at tight end, Levi Eblen made an emergency switch on defense from outside linebacker to inside linebacker when Seth Maitlen was injured, and learned the position in one practice before a key win over Glenwood. He progressed to the point where he ranked fifth on the team in tackles.
Morrison said he will miss the contributions of all-state linebacker Trevor Frain in several areas, both in on-field performance and demonstrating effort and leadership on a day-to-day basis. The two-year captain broke into varsity play as a freshman.
"Every team respects his talent and the way he plays," Morrison said. Frain scored 10 touchdowns as a running back in addition to leading the district in total tackles with 146, including 14 solo for losses.
Nathan Haley got his first chance at center at the Northwest Missouri camp as a junior, and progressed to a first-team all-district offensive lineman this year. Morrison called him the leader of an offensive line that rushed for 1,788 yards.
Gavin Leith, Morrison said, was important to the team's success in many ways. He was a starting outside linebacker and finished second on the team in tackles with 71. He also played tight end and was a key figure on special teams, taking over for injured all-district punter Alex Nielsen and finishing with a 33.5 average.
Offense leaders
The team made a playoff run by finishing fourth in the district (3-3) with a revamped offense at two key skill positions. Baker took over for Bryce McIlravy at running back and Brandon Phipps succeeded the multi-talented Luke Neitzel at quarterback, who passed for nearly 1,000 yards last year in addition to becoming the program's career rushing leader.
Phipps stepped in and kept things going, Morrison said, with a solid senior season. He ranked fourth in District 1 passing with 1,215 yards on a 55.7 percent completion rate (88-of-158) with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He also ran for 127 yards and two TDs.
With six quarterbacks nominated for two spots on all-district, Phipps and Glenwood quarterback Corey Bertini were shifted to running back spots, with Phipps on the second team along with Baker.
"Brandon is a solid leader and great competitor," Morrison said. "We just reloaded with Phipps and Baker and our numbers were outstanding."
That offense included senior receivers Maxx Walters and Jesse Rathe.
Walters ranked fifth in district receiving with 457 yards on 27 catches, with five touchdowns. He also played cornerback on defense.
Rathe had 185 yards and two TDs on 16 catches and also played in the defensive secondary, ranking sixth in tackles and second behind Nielsen in interceptions with three. Despite a mid-season ankle injury, Nielsen finished with four.
Morrison also announced the all-district awards and team awards that were elected by players in grades 10-12.
Coaches Steve Birchard and Kevin Cooper introduced players from the 1-5 JV squad, noting that through shortages at various positions on Monday nights, several players had to perform in new spots with very little preparation.
Morrison said the 6-3 freshman team is one of the strongest classes he's seen in the program, and coach Jon Thomson noted how many times the team rallied in the second half of games.
"I want you to understand, this is a four-year commitment, like the military," Morrison said with a grin. "We're not letting you quit. We need all of you."
Off-season weight lifting begins today for those not out for a winter sport, Morrison said. He said he wants to keep moving forward in a program that has made the playoffs three straight years, but gone 0-3 in those first-round games. The past two seasons were losses to 2012 state runner-up Heelan and again this year to the Crusaders, who return to the championship against Washington.

Palazzo Margherita
The suite named after (and codesigned by) Sofia Coppola has a more feminine sensibility—inspired by the Villa Favorita near Palermo in Sicily. There are light-blue geometric-patterned ceilings, square-tiled floors, and sky-color walls within the sleeping area. The bathroom (pictured), which Grange describes as "fresh and very classical," features custom-made tiles inspired by antique originals. The marble countertops and floor add a dose of Mediterranean cool, enhanced by the calm blue ceiling's "lace effect," says the designer.

Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy
Legendary filmmaker and part-time hotelier Francis Ford Coppola has often said that opening a hotel is much like shooting a movie. And his latest property, the nine-room Palazzo Margherita, could be aptly described as the ultimate family production. Located in the town of Bernalda, on Italy's southern coast—from which Coppola's grandfather Agostino emigrated to America in 1904—the 19th-century palazzo connects three generations of Coppolas. Overseen by Francis himself, the property took five years to develop, with contributions from his famously creative children, Roman, Sofia, and Eleanor. Surrounded by brick-walled gardens dense with palm, olive, citrus, and pine trees, the property features lush Jacques Grange–designed interiors with a mix of Mediterranean and North African touches. For the Palazzo's garden courtyard (pictured here), Grange says he drew inspiration from "the colors of traditional aristocratic terraces" found in villas throughout Italy. Guests may dine here or in the Palazzo's brick-lined kitchen, where a central table seats 12. Meals consist of simple salads, fresh pastas, pizzas, and regional wines—all delivered among "chairs and tables that seemingly disappear into the green of the gardens," Grange says. From $360/night; palazzomargherita.com

Palazzo Margherita
Most of the suites are set on the second floor, and each has a unique design—including the one pictured here, named in honor of the director himself. Grange says he designed the Francis Ford Coppola Suite with "both fantasy and a touch of Orientalism." The room's headboard evokes antique Syrian manuscripts, while the marmorino stucco walls and ceiling feature elaborate hand-painted Moorish-inspired decoration. The floors are lined in blue-and-white tiles made of bejmat—a type of Moroccan terra-cotta—while the zellige tiles around the fireplace are another nod to the Maghreb.

Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam
The Conservatorium is set within a former music conservatory, a century-old redbrick landmark just up the road from Amsterdam's boutique-lined P.C. Hooftstraat and directly opposite the soon-to-reopen Stedelijk Museum. The building has been given new life by Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni (who also fashioned the Conservatorium's sister hotel, the Mamilla, in Jerusalem). Working within strict preservation regulations, Lissoni devised a dramatic lobby (pictured) that inhabits a courtyard lined in pale-green Italian Lithoverde stone and capped by a glass-and-steel roof. The light-filled atrium, Lissoni says, reimagines the classic English garden while tapping into "the double life of indoor-outdoor spaces." Much of the furniture is by Lissoni himself, though tables by the Italian modernist Franco Albini are a centerpiece of the lobby's bustling afternoon tea. A sleek steel staircase links the lobby with the rest of the hotel, creating a catwalklike transition. From $415/night; conservatoriumhotel.com

Conservatorium Hotel
"Everything was untouchable," says Lissoni of the building, which was designed by Dutch architect Daniel Knuttel. Lissoni embraced the hotel's limitations, creatively crafting 129 guest rooms within the original footprint and giving each a unique layout. To open up the spaces with low ceilings, Lissoni explains that he changed some room proportions to make the most of the large windows. The rooms range in size from 250 to 1,700 square feet, and almost half are duplexes (the upper-level sleeping area of one is pictured). For the floors, he used untreated smoked American oak to add a touch of earthy richness, while bathrooms are clad in cool white stone. As for the views, interior-facing rooms look onto the striking lobby courtyard, while those overlooking the street offer some of the most stylish people-watching in all of Europe.

The Conservatorium
The hotel's restaurant, Tunes, is a reservations-essential spot helmed by Schilo van Coevorden, one of Amsterdam's most celebrated chefs. Reached from the street via a series of arched tile-walled corridors with colorful terrazzo floors, the space has an open plan, designed by Lissoni to be "a factory for food"—albeit a very stylish one. Working in a glass-walled kitchen, van Coevorden and his team prepare nine-course seasonal tasting menus that are served in the main dining area (pictured). There's also a bar area, offering tapas-style small plates, a space that Lissoni describes as "a super action area." The furniture is a mix of vintage Italian Art Deco pieces and midcentury Knoll Bertoia chairs. The most compelling aspect is a special ceiling feature that illuminates the entire space with a warm glow. "You think it's the candles giving off light," Lissoni says.

The Efendi Hotel
Along with colorful ceiling art, the Efendi's other signature design element is the prong-patterned quatrefoil crest that decorates the property's high circular windows (including those in the guest room pictured). Dating back to the century-old, late-Ottoman-era construction, the crest helps give cohesion to the two buildings, which open at one end onto a grand terrace laden with plush couches fit for a pasha. Although the hotel lacks a formal restaurant, a hearty breakfast is served in the dining room, and Israeli wines and pan-Mediterranean tapas are offered in the 900-year-old cellar. Not to worry: Jeremias's legendary restaurant Uri Buri, one of Israel's best for seafood, is just a short stroll away.

Ett Hem in Stockholm
The name Ett Hem means "a home" in Swedish, and the phrase perfectly describes this ultrahomey hotel in Stockholm's residential Lärkstan district. Set in a century-old redbrick townhouse, Ett Hem features 12 guest rooms conceived by Ilse Crawford, the influential editor-turned-designer based in London. Working with Ett Hem owner Jeanette Mix, Crawford has created an urban country house, with earthy wood paneling, cool ceramics, brass minibars, and even a garden greenhouse, where sun-drenched breakfasts are served. Crawford describes the hotel as "a comfortable, cultured house, where it feels as if you're staying with a friend." In keeping with this low-key vibe, guests have round-the-clock access to a bar and kitchen stocked with chilled wines and local cheeses. And while Ett Hem may seem informal, Mix has mastered the art of attentive yet unobtrusive service. "We want guests to feel at ease here," Crawford says, "as if they wouldn't want to stay anywhere else." From $525/night; etthemstockholm.se
Photo courtesy of Ett Hem
Built in 1910 by noted architect Fredrik Dahlberg, the Arts and Crafts–style townhouse began life as an art-collecting diplomat's residence. Each of Ett Hem's 12 rooms is uniquely conceived by Crawford, who created many of the furniture pieces. "Glamorous yet extremely livable" is how she describes the style of the bedrooms, whose fine architectural bones provide a welcome sense of gravitas. The largest bedroom (pictured) features a bespoke four-poster, antique wall paneling, and a working ceramic fireplace that Crawford retained "to keep the character and soul of the original house." Adding a dash of stylish comfort is a vintage rattan-and-bamboo Svenskt Tenn chair designed by Josef Frank in the 1930s. Crawford also installed one of her custom-made brass cocktail cabinets, which is, as she puts it, "far more exciting than a typical minibar."
Photo courtesy of Ett Hem
Ett Hem
Warm Nordic light pours through the geometric-paneled windows of this spacious bathroom designed—like the rest of the hotel—for lingering. The centerpiece is Crawford's custom-made marble tub, which is paired with a vintage sheepskin chair in case that lingering is for two. While many of Ett Hem's bathrooms do feature walk-in rain showers, bathing à deux is actually what Crawford had in mind when she conceived the room. "The chair is perfect for sitting with your companion while they enjoy a soak," she says. A similar ethos of sharing and socializing can be felt throughout the rest of Ett Hem, from the cozy living room, with its well-stocked library and recital-ready piano, to the small yet complete spa and gym.

Babylonstoren near Franschhoek, South Africa
Set on a 615-acre working farm and winery in the foothills of South Africa's craggy Drakenstein mountains, Babylonstoren (Dutch for "Tower of Babel") is the latest chic retreat to open in the increasingly touristed Cape Winelands, about an hour's drive from Cape Town. The 12-cottage property—which dates back to the late 1600s—is the brainchild of Karen Roos, a former design editor with a sharp eye for period details paired with contemporary whimsy. Babylonstoren's dominant style is Cape Dutch, beloved by Roos "for its thick, whitewashed walls under dark thatched roofs." Its restaurant, Babel, is set within the property's original sheep-and-cattle enclosure, pictured here with the Simonsberg hills, where some of South Africa's best wines are cultivated, in the distance. From $375/night; babylonstoren.com
Photo courtesy of Babylonstoren
Meals at Babel are taken in either a glass-walled dining room or a tree-lined courtyard. The regularly changing menu incorporates selections from 300 varieties of plants and vegetables grown on the organic estate's eight acres of gardens, which produce everything from pumpkins to prickly pears. (The gardens were conceived by Patrice Taravella, best known for designing the grounds at Prieuré Notre-Dame d'Orsan in the Loire Valley.) Babel's state-of-the-art kitchen serves healthful seasonal cuisine paired with wines from Babylonstoren and the rest of the Simonsberg area. The daily offerings are posted on a tile wall decorated with a cheeky bull mural, which Roos purchased in Milan last year during the annual design fair. "It's an artist's drawing for Ceramica Sant'Agostino, and it felt just right for a farm hotel," Roos says. Teak tables and stools and cement floors complete the simple decor of the light-filled space. An on-site distillery now produces sweet—and potent—fruit liqueurs, which are also sold in Babylonstoren's farm shop, along with house-made preserves and chutneys.
Photo courtesy of Babylonstoren
The property was first cultivated by French Huguenot refugees, and its spare yet sophisticated design reflects those ecclesiastic origins. Set along an oak-lined pathway, the guest cottages are capped by high, gabled roofs and feature walls of windows that allow for maximum views of the surrounding landscape. Roos says this indoor-outdoor quality was central to her concept: "I wanted to achieve a kind of balance with the interiors—clean, simple, uncluttered design with no single overpowering feature." She paired slim-legged Cape Dutch–style seating with natural fiber rugs and minimalist cube canopy beds (as seen in the cottage pictured). "This way the dramatic garden and mountain landscape may be best appreciated," she notes. A small number of antique pieces add a dose of history to Babylonstoren's guest rooms, Roos says, "continuing the tradition of quality and purity of the original Cape Dutch buildings."

Drama, SciFi/Fantasy
"Ondine" is the enchanting story of Syracuse, a lonely fisherman who one day pulls a beautiful woman named Ondine out of the sea in his nets. His young daughter Annie is convinced that she is a "selkie" -- a creature from Irish folklore much like a mermaid. Syracuse has his doubts, but as Ondine brings some luck and joy to his otherwise downcast life, he starts to come around as well. "Ondine" deftly blends romance and fantasy with the realism of modern life in an Irish seaside town.

Tip Ton Chair by Vitra
designed by Barber Osgerby
Tip Ton defines a whole new chair typology: the solid plastic chair with forward-tilt action. Its name refers to the two types of sitting experiences that characterize the chair; from a normal position, Tip Ton can be tilted a few degrees forward where it then stays in place. The innovation behind this seemingly simple feature lies in the skids, which rise at a nine-degree angle. The forward-tilt sitting position, until now the preserve of mechanical office chairs, straightens the pelvis and spine and thus improves circulation.
With a striking, iconic appearance, Tip Ton is an outstanding dining chair or multi-use home office chair; it is also ideal for use in restaurants, conference and meeting spaces, and educational institutions.
- Stackable up to four high
- Available in basic black, poppy red, glacier blue, mustard, earth grey, ice grey, stone white, and cactus
- For indoor or outdoor use
- Dimensions: 31" h x 20" w x 21.75" d
The Vitra Home Collection is not an interior design system or a homogeneous product line which promotes a uniform style. Rather, Vitra considers the furnishing of one's home as a process of collage - a gradual assemblage of products and objects. Not to be confused with coincidental accumulation of things, this process is a conscious arrangement that grows and changes with regard to both content and style, according to the owner's individual preferences and circumstances.

Scharffen Berger Chocolate
Page 3: Blended Chocolate Bars
This is Page 3 of a six-page article. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
Blended Chocolate Bars
To blend or not to blend? You may have heard or read somewhere that origin chocolate, where the beans come from one geographical location, is "better" than blended chocolate, in which the beans come from as many as 24 different geographical locations (origins). Or you may have heard the opposite argument.
First, remember the broad interpretation of "origin" or "single origin" chocolate. Only that which comes from one single plantation is truly "single origin" like a French vineyard. All other origin chocolate is a blend of beans from a larger geographical area—an entire country, which can be a small Caribbean island, or five Caribbean countries. However, even these broad geographies do produce similar taste characteristics. This is why some people develop preferences for specific origins, just as they may prefer Burgundy over Bordeaux, while others like both origins equally.
Thus, the decision as to which presentation of the cacao is "better" is based on personal preference, and there is no absolute truth. Otherwise stated, is pure chocolate or coffee ice cream better than mocha or jamocha almond fudge?
There are several advantages, in both mass-produced and artisan chocolate, to blending beans from different locales. Chocolate makers blend beans:
So if you're craving a fruity chocolate, you would probably have more luck by selecting an origin chocolate renowned for its fruitiness than a blended bar designed to deliver a balanced flavor. Alternately, if you're making a hazelnut praline and don't want the chocolate's flavor qualities (for example, fruitiness) to interfere with the nuttiness, you might opt for a blended, neutral chocolate, or an origin that has a nutty flavor.

Well, just maybe, if your missing the little screen, some crap has gotten into the plunger in the gas solinoid itself.
That solinoid is a bit of work to get to in your unit. I would suggest removing your tig torch, turn on the bottle, jack up the pressure and with your remote give it a couple hits on the pedal or other controler to hopefully remove the crap that may be in there.
I don't care for the double gaged regulators, the flow meter ball will actually tell you if its leaking. Often the cheapo gages on the double gage units will leak into the gages themselves and thats tough to do a boubble check on. Most of the times I go on a call to check a system, I'll bring a Victor flow meter with me, to verify the problem.

ok, thanks everyone for the help. I took off the casing and turns out there was a leak at the bulkhead fitting into the solenoid. I think that was the problem...since I bought it two years ago. Sh*t what a waste of money.
Thanks again!

No waiste of money
You still have the machine.
A problem I had and I was glad I had the valve on a torch, guy came to get his trailer welded and my gas wouldn't shut off.
Ended up taking all apart to look inside no that valve ain't comin out easy.'
I ended up taking gas hose from torch off and blowing a low presure amount of air in and it blew out a pc of dirt out the back.
Problem solved.
At least it didn't cost any repair monies.
Happy welding

Hi,I have 6 of my own websites and I'm only able to access 3 of them. I have 3 sites that have their own hosting account and I have 3 domains being forwarded to these hosting accounts. For some reason, Zone Alarm will not allow me to access the forwarded sites but I can access the main hosting sites. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I'm not real familiar with Zone Alarm and have been unable to figure this one out on my own.Thanks!Lisa

Public art, theatre rentals, entertainment, and more.
The Denver Office of Economic Development (OED) has issued award letters to 35 organizations slated to collectively receive $4.8 million in federal grant funding in 2014. Projects were selected from among a total of 94 applications totaling $16.8 million.
Funds will be made available through the city's allocation of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding to support housing, neighborhood and business development projects. OED issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in July 2013 for proposals to be funded by HUD's Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS programs.
"We're proud to strategically invest our federal development dollars in order to develop partnerships that will enhance our neighborhood vitality, create jobs, boost economic prosperity and have maximum impact on the prosperity of the city," said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock.
Organizations selected for contracted programs and services include the following:
Economic Development & Services
Housing Development & Services
Neighborhood Development
Applications were evaluated and scored by OED staff, other city agency staff and community members. Community members were chosen based on their knowledge and experience in the program areas of housing development, economic/business development and neighborhood development. Awardees were selected based on their ability to achieve measurable outcomes supporting Mayor Hancock's priorities of jobs, children/education and safety net, as well as OED's JumpStart strategy. Evaluation criteria also scored each applicant's project plan, organizational capacity, financial capacity and prior performance when applicable.

I had painted floors on the second floor of our farmhouse for years and loved the look - easy to keep too.
We have sold the farm and I wonder if they remain.
You will not regret this decision.

We also painted our hardwood floors but just the bedrooms. The first time around we used white. They lasted a few years and looked great but they are really hard to keep clean and of course they scratch. We have recently re painted them a pretty pale aqua that the kids wanted for their rooms. They look amazing but the same old dull stains are already coming through. I think dust and residue from cleaning products and dyes from socks etc. seem to easily stain after a period of time. I'm not sure what type of paint you are using but we were recently told that paving paint would be better. We used tough exterior paint this time but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I will be interested to see how your floors look and last. I don't miss the wooden patina at all. Good luck with them and have have decorating.
Blessings and hugs

When you said it was your dream to paint the oak, girl you are living my dream, and this is my plan, I am in the mist of working on wood planks and painting floors for my home yet will have to wait a bit longer, when Fifi asked if she could come shoot my home I put her off until she would not take no any longer. I wanted this little cottage to have those perfectly imperfect painted floors. If I was your neighbor, or shopping buddy I would be rooting you on to paint your heart out on all the wood you can find in your home.
More then anyone I am so jealous in a good way that you are having your dream floors :)
I have a friend here and hers have chipped a bit, and I love them even that much more.
Please hurry and show off those floors.
See you soon, you are on my side bar of inspiration and I will not miss your unvailing of your wood floor painting announcement.
Get back to painting, see you soon

Oh you brave girl Tracey! I absolutely adore the look of light painted floors. Your home's beauty will shine even more with the new look.
Wish we could do that, but my husband wouldn't be keen on that idea. Maybe he should have a chat with yours. :)

Oh how exciting!! I am not a frequent commenter but look in often. I would soo love to have painted hardwood...like others say...not the hubby. Mine either need completely sanded and stained, or painted due to years of fading. Can't wait to see the completed project.

- cndesigns said...
I have thought of this many times too! In fact we've thought of painting just the subfloor some day...if we don't have hardwood under the existing carpeting.
With today's paint and non-yellowing sealants, painted floors are great if that's the look you like. I painted our old 70's green vinyl kitchen floor in our former home...LOVED it!
Can't wait to see your finished floors!

I cannot wait to see the after and get all of your sources and tips. I too have have floors with an orange tinge that I do not care for. I may paint my closet floor first since it's isolated from the other hardwoods and see how it goes.

Hi, I'm from SE Mass. down near Providence. For a paper, I'm writing about the phrase "So don't I" meaning the same as "So do I". Do any of you say this phrase? Where are you from? It seems like more of a SE Mass. thing than Boston; several Boston people I've asked have never heard this used before.

So don't I. Well I did until High School, I think it's a South Shore thing. I grew up in Norwell near Scituate, Hanover, Rockland. I was cured by an old Italian, who IMO speak the best "English" as a group overall in this area. I'm thinking that perhaps in Olde English questions were phrased like "Do you not think that......" which later got contracted to "Don't you think" (another popular phrase)which "So don't I" was a natural though gramatically incorrect reply. Interestingly enough many of the descendants of the Mayflower drifted through SE Mass to eventually Providence, there's a clear emigration path southwestly. Boston & further north was settled by the Puritans rather than the Pilgrims. Perhaps if you visit the Roger Williams Memorial in Providence the ranger there could help out. About two years ago he had a 17th century reanactment team there and one of the members was a dialect expert in language from that period. Also the staff at Plimouth Plantations speak in that tongue (Western English almost Welsh). Just a theory.

Larry Johnson, of WEEI's Mustard & Johnson and sports cartoonist for the Globe and ESPN.com, says it quite a bit. I grew up in Dedham and kids used to say it in the 60's & 70s.
I grew up in Holliston (30 mins west of Boston) saying both "so don't I" and "so do I."
I grew up in Holliston too, and we also said it.

So don't I.
LOL I knew someone would say that. It was just a matter of who. :) Freedom of speech is wonderful - right up there with the freedom not to listen.
People in Charlestown say it
I grew up in Holliston too, and we also said it.
Oh my, the intrigue is killing me.
I lived in Mudville...you?
I miss the mayor's famous annual mudville block parties...good times. I lived in East H. down past the middle/elem. schools. Class o '96 here. You grad or underg. at Brandeis?
We lived across the street from the mayor...he just put in a new statue to Casey at the Bat..it's HUGE, right in his front yard...My parents and 5 other neighbors invented the block party thing there..they called themselevs (of course) the Mudville 7...I had to work the keg at the first few parties...I was about 12 then... I work at Brandeis... " "This has always been Mudville," said Joane Hulbert, a resident of Holliston, Mass., part of which has been known as Mudville since at least 1856. "You can drive into Holliston and ask for directions to Mudville, and everyone will be able to tell you how to get here. You can stop at a sandwich shop downtown and order `The Mudville.'" http://www.avpress.com/n/j/01/jcasey.hts
I am originally from northeastern NY (Plattsburgh), and have never used "so don't I", even though I frequently heard it. It has struck me over the years that people of French extraction are more likely to. I guess this makes sense in that one of the commonest French phrases begs for confirmation with a negative "n'est pas". Good luck with your paper.
I grew up in NYC, where we definitely don't say it. But I lived in Boston for 10 years. I knew people from Weymouth, Waltham, and Swampscot who said it. (It took me a couple of years to figure out what the &*%$! they were talking about).
Hate to burst any balloons, but we say it in Rhode island too! or rather, "so don't we!"
I live in Portland, ME, now, where "so don't I" is NEVER heard. But I grew up in Worcester, MA, and heard it there going back to at least the late 1950s.
I grew up in Holbrook and I will admidt to saying "So don't I".
I live in Falmouth just over the Bourne Bridge and most of us said it when we were younger but we have all pretty much grown out of it.
I'm from Hyde Park, and everybody from Hyde Park, Rosindale or Westie says it.
I grew up far west of Mass in Rochester NY. in the 60's and 70's. My parents and many in the neigborhood were immigrants from New Hampshire, Mass, etc. I've often wondered about our 'vernacular' since SNL credited Boston with the rather odd linguistic construct of "so don't I" though I grew up saying it, along with "so aren't I", "so can't I". Also common were "wicked", "book", "stoop", and a myriad of other New England-isms. There also, the name Todd come out to be "Twodd". Camera comes out more like "cyamra" ... similarly Kodak is "kwodyak". We don't leave out "r's" so much as we add them before vowels eg: law office become "lower office". I don't know if it's common to Boston too, but in Rochester, we dropped "t's" as well. Button is "buh'in". If "r's" are dropped, it's NOT usually from the simpler vowel constructions like "-ar", but more in conjunction with "-ear", like in swear becoming "swayuh". Iron sounds more like "I in". R after T's and D's, as in train sounds like "chain". Trip sounds like "chrip". Drip sound like "jip". A really wierd odd one is the mix up of "r" with "v" eg: Grip sounds like "gvip". I'd really like to read your findings. I think language is fascinating. When you're done, you're more than welcome to email it to me. I'd like to know what you find out. My email is email@example.com Thanks.
The adding of r's is known as r-insertion or intrusive r. You can read about it on wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusive_R Turning t into ch and d into j is affrication. These terms may help you if you are looking to learn more about Boston phonology.

..the phrase "So don't I" meaning the same as "So do I". This reminds me of another colloquial, "same difference!"

Oil-Poached Swordfish with White Corn, Guanciale and Chive Oil
IngredientsChive oil:
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Swordfish and corn:
- 5 medium ears of white corn, husked
- 4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 4 peeled garlic cloves; 2 crushed, 2 minced
- 1 large fresh rosemary sprig
- 4 6-ounce swordfish steaks
- 1 cup 1/3-inch cubes guanciale or pancetta (Italian bacon)
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Fine sea salt
- Ingredient info: Guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl) is available at specialty foods stores and from zingermans.com. Pancetta (Italian bacon) makes a good substitute.
PreparationFor chive oil:
Combine oil and chives in blender and puree until smooth. Season chive oil to taste with salt and pepper.
For swordfish and corn:
Cook corn in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, remove corn from cooking liquid. Place on plate; reserve 1/2 cup corn cooking liquid. Cut corn kernels from cobs and reserve 4 cups (save remaining corn for another use).
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine oil, lemon, crushed garlic, and rosemary in medium ovenproof pot. Attach deep-fry thermometer to side of pot; heat oil to 150°F. Carefully lower swordfish into oil. Transfer pot to oven; poach fish uncovered until just firm to touch, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add guanciale; sauté until almost crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and shallot; sauté until soft but not brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in reserved 4 cups corn and crushed red pepper. Add butter and 2 tablespoons reserved corn cooking liquid; stir until mixture is moist and creamy, adding more cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if dry, about 5 minutes. Stir in chives and thyme. Season with sea salt and pepper.
Divide corn among 4 shallow bowls. Top each with swordfish steak. Sprinkle with sea salt; drizzle with chive oil.
What to drink:
An aromatic, medium-bodied whitelike the Alois Lageder 2009 "Vogelmaier" Moscato Giallo (Italy, $29) would be perfect.

Kirby Sports Center Slated for $1.7 Million Renovation
Oct. 19, 2012
EASTON, Pa. - The arena in Kirby Sports Center is set for a $1.7 million renovation slated to be finished for the start of the 2013-14 academic year.
The F.M. Kirby Foundation, which was responsible for the building's initial construction in 1972 and for a $35 million transformation in 2000, is funding the renovation to the arena.
"We're excited to get this project underway and are thankful for the continuous generosity of the F.M. Kirby Foundation," said Lafayette Director of Athletics Bruce McCutcheon. "In order to compete for and with the best student-athletes, we need to continue to upgrade and maintain our facilities and this is part of that ongoing process."
Three major changes are on the horizon in a project that will be overseen by Clough, Harbor and Associates: new seating, the addition of a video scoreboard and an LED scorer's table.
All of the seating will be replaced in the arena. The seating in the sections along each sideline will be chairback seating. In addition, new bleacher seating will be added in each endzone, closing in the court which was previously opened at the end farthest from the arena entrance. At that end of the arena, two rows of premium seating will be added on the floor. The capacity of the arena will change to 2,650 to accommodate the 1,462 chairback seats and 1,188 bleacher seats.
A four-sided scoreboard/video board will replace the scoreboard in the middle of the arena ceiling. The videoboard will provide the opportunity for instant replays along with a host of video content similar to the in-game entertainment opportunities afforded by the video board in Fisher Stadium.
In addition, an LED scorer's table will rest on the north sideline, between the team benches with similar capabilities to the videoboard. To control the videoboard and LED scorer's table, a control room will be added on the third floor of Kirby Sports Center.
The entire arena will receive a new paint scheme similar to the artist's rendering. Additionally, some sound system improvements are proposed. No major structural changes are in the offing, allowing for a quick turnaround with the project.
Some preparatory work is slated to begin in December, coinciding with both teams being away from Easton for the holidays and road games. The bulk of the actual construction will begin March 25 with a scheduled completion date of Aug. 1.
