A Tuesday night house fire claimed the life of a 66-year-old Indian Head woman and her dog, while displacing seven of her family members and sending a volunteer firefighter to a regional burn unit with second-degree burns to his arm.
Geraldine R. Key was in her first-story bedroom with the family dog at 10:17 p.m. when combustible materials, most likely clothing on the floor, came in contact with a kerosene space heater and caught fire, the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office reported.
Flames and smoke trapped Key and the dog inside the room, and prevented family from saving them. The family members — three adults and four children — were able to escape the one-story cinder block house, in the 5300 block of Stuckey Road, and call 911.
A smoke alarm outside the bedroom activated when family members opened the door in an attempt to reach Key.
The blaze spread quickly, engulfing the home by the time volunteer firefighters arrived from departments in Marbury, Bryans Road, Potomac Heights, Nanjemoy, Bel Alton and Stump Neck Naval Station.
Soon after their arrival, the house collapsed on itself and prevented firefighters from entering. Damage to the destroyed home, which had a partial living space in the attic, was estimated at $80,000.
One firefighter from the 10th District Volunteer Fire Department in Pisgah suffered second-degree burns to his right arm and hand and was treated and released from the burn center at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., department President and Chief of Safety Chuck Burroughs said.
Another family member arrived after the fire and experienced chest pains. He was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
Key's body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore. A preliminary report determined smoke inhalation and burns to be the cause of her death.
Standing near the remains of the home Wednesday morning, Key's son, Edward, described his mother, saying, "She was beautiful," and that she was the type of person who "took care of everyone."
The American Red Cross is assisting the family, providing emergency shelter and financial assistance to pay for food, clothing and other necessities lost in the fire, according to a news release.
Red Cross caseworkers will follow up with everyone affected by the blaze until their immediate needs have been met, the release states.
Burroughs said that fuel-fired space heaters are designed to be used indoors but the rooms they're placed in need to be well-ventilated, and that the heaters, "whether it be propane or kerosene, they need to make sure they're away from combustibles."
The heaters also should be kept away from small children and set up so that they can't easily tip over, Burroughs said.
Refueling should always be done outside, and residents should always ensure they're using the appropriate fuel — using the wrong fuel could lead to "disastrous results," Burroughs said.
"First and foremost," residents should ensure that they have working smoke alarms in their homes and replace the batteries twice a year, Burroughs said.
Staff writer Gretchen Phillips contributed to this report.

My windshield washer pump in my Toyota Yaris Verso has stopped working. The fuse seems to be fine, so either it's due to a loose connection, or the pump is broken. What is the likely cause, and how can I access the pump?

I've had a faulty windshield washer pump motor changed in my Yaris once. This one is not so easy to access. The mechanic replaced it via front right wheel area after removing front guard. He said this way is better other wise he'll have to remove front bumper, headlight then washer water tank to get to motor. Hope this helps

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article gave the wrong name for the American Dental Association.
HAZARD, Ky.—MacKenzie Doolittle, 9, isn't afraid of the dentist. As she climbs into Dr. Nikki Stone's exam chair, she chats amiably and explains that she knows all about plaque, cavities, and the importance of brushing her teeth. She started brushing every morning and afternoon after hearing in school that, if she didn't, she could have "all false teeth" by the age of 28.
"I decided that I didn't want that," she says.
Thanks to an enterprising local public-health provider, Doolittle is the rare rural child with access to free dental services that come to her. Every year, a mobile van—donated by the Ronald McDonald House and affiliated with a nearby community health center—visits Doolittle's elementary school so the dentist can clean teeth, apply sealants, and dispense fluoride treatments.
But when the second-grader opens her mouth, it's clear she'll need more than that. Despite her newfound vigilance, she has nine cavities, and Stone can't fix them. The traveling clinic offers free care, but its mandate is limited to prevention: Kids who need cavities drilled or teeth pulled have to go elsewhere. And in Hazard, like many other rural areas, that's not easy.
The United States faces a shortage of dentists that is particularly acute in poor, rural regions. Huge pockets of the country have few (or no) providers. The federal government counts 4,503 mostly rural regions where more than 3,000 people share one dentist, making it tough for many residents to find someone to fix their teeth.
For more than 100 years, dentistry has run on a separate—and more laissez-faire—track than the rest of medicine. Dentists have their own schools and treat patients in their own offices; fewer laws and regulations govern the field. Insurance plans typically demand high co-pays and limit their payouts for invasive procedures. About half of all dental expenses are paid out of pocket, compared with less than 10 percent of costs in the overall medical system.
In some ways, the free market has worked: People do not drive up insurance rates by seeking frivolous procedures. Patients tend to shop around for care, and prices vary according to local economies. The rate of dental inflation, although higher than the rate for the economy overall, is lower than the rate in medicine, which is typically several points above the growth rate of the gross domestic product. (You don't hear policymakers complain about the burden of "runaway" dental costs.) And because of other advances, American mouths are much healthier than ever before. Increased medical literacy, fluoridation of public reservoirs, and public-education campaigns about tooth-brushing have helped more Americans hold onto their teeth. In 1958, 55 percent of those over 65 had lost all their teeth; today, the number is just 25 percent.
But overall progress has not ensured broad access to dentistry. "It's very much a free market, with a greater spread between the haves and have-nots," said Burton Edelstein, a professor of dentistry at Columbia University and the founder of the Children's Dental Health Project. Dental insurance is much less widespread than medical insurance; 130 million Americans lacked dental coverage in 2009, but only 50 million lacked medical coverage. And with most payouts capped at $1,000 to $2,000 per year, insurance can't cover much beyond basic services. (So even if Doolittle had insurance, which she doesn't, it might not pay for the care she needs.) Medicare does not pay for dental care at all—during its creation, dentists feared price-fixing and lobbied against inclusion—so 70 percent of seniors lack any dental coverage, according to an Institute of Medicine report. Medicaid, the government program that insures poor children (and a few adults), also fails to provide meaningful dental access for many of its beneficiaries: The program pays dentists so poorly for treatment that only about 20 percent of them see Medicaid patients.
The result is a crisis. Dental disease is the largest unmet health need in the U.S. among both children and adults, according to the Pew Children's Dental Campaign. The worst-off are the poor, the young, the old, and those in rural America. Dental disease is among the most common reasons that children miss school. It's the most common medical reason that soldiers can't deploy. It is a leading cause of emergency-room visits in several states. For proponents of a freer health care market, who want patients to be motivated by financial incentives to shop around and avoid "unnecessary" care, the dental system offers a glimpse of how such a system might work.
The business of medicine has changed substantially in recent years, driven mainly by consolidation: Large companies typically own several hospitals, and doctors increasingly close their solo practices to join large groups. But the business of dentistry has remained unchanged for generations. According to the American Dental Association, more than 80 percent of dentists still practice alone or with one partner, making them small-business owners. They have to keep the lights on and generate enough revenue from local patients to support operation in good times and bad. Unlike titanic medical conglomerates, dentists don't have an economy of scale or the ability to spread financial risk.

Farmworker, Food System Worker and Rural Community Wellbeing
The UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SAREP) works to promote a more socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable food system in California. The estimated one million agricultural workers and accompanying family members play an integral role in the success of California's agricultural sector and the food system as a whole. Despite their vital contributions, California farmworkers face numerous challenges, with negative impacts on workers, families, agricultural communities and the food system as a whole.
In order to identify research and outreach opportunities that are directly aligned with the needs of stakeholders, SAREP commissioned research to identify the key issues facing agricultural workers in California and opportunities for research and outreach to promote improved farmworker conditions.

Top nominees Robert Plant and Buddy Miller were Thursday night's big winners — and a trio of young acts earned high honors — at the 10th annual Americana Music Association Honors & Awards.
Plant's album Band of Joy — recorded with an all-star Americana crew featuring Nashvillians Miller, Darrell Scott, Byron House, Marco Giovino and Texan Patty Griffin — was named album of year, Plant's second win in the category and third overall. His bandmate Miller continued his reign as the Association's most awarded artist, picking up his second win for Artist of the Year and fourth for Instrumentalist of Year. Toward the end of the Ryman Auditorium show, Emmylou Harris joked that the awards should change its name to "The Buddys."
"I feel like I get away with murder, what I do. I'm really, really not that good," Miller told the audience, who responded with incredulous laughter. "Seriously. But I get to play with some wonderfully incredibly talented people."
Miller did so all night, as he also served as the show's bandleader, backing up all but of a few of the night's performers. That list included Plant and Band of Joy, Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Lucinda Williams, Gregg Allman, Amos Lee, Elizabeth Cook, Justin Townes Earle, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Hayes Carll, The Secret Sisters, The Civil Wars, the Avett Brothers, Candi Staton and Jim Lauderdale, who also served as the show's host.

Sherwin-Williams Earnings Fall on Tax Charge; Adjusted EPS Narrowly Beats Estimates
11:10 AM MST | January 26, 2012 | Vincent Valk
Sherwin-Williams reported fourth-quarter net income of $14.6 million, or 14 cts/share, down 80% from the same period a year-ago on a one-time tax charge. The tax charge was related to a $75 million settlement of an IRS audit of Sherwin Williams' employee stock ownership plan. Adjusting for the tax charge, earnings totaled 84 cts/share, narrowly beating analysts' consensus of 83 cts/share, as reported by Thomson Reuters (New York). Sales in the quarter rose 9.2% year-on-year, to $2.07 billion, on higher selling prices, acquisitions and higher...

Grind your own grains into flour with our home grain mill. Process and crush your fruit and make your own juices.
A great addition to the Fruit & Wine Press, the Apple & Fruit Crusher simply crushes apples, pears, or other hard fruits, to prepare them for pressing! Easy to turn handle makes crushing large quantities of fruit quick and easy. Comes with a wooden mounting base. Heavy duty, cast iron construction with a stainless steel chute and hardware. Wood drum with stainless steel crushing blades. Measures 16"x12.8"x18". Limited 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
The Family Grain Mill is made in Germany and is of very high quality. It is the best value and most versatile of all grain mills on the market. It is built on a modular system, where you can easily switch the various attachments between either the hand crank base or the 150 watt Bosch motorized base. It has conical, hardened steel burrs that are totally adjustable. You can adjust them just to crack the grain or grind it into a fine flour. The conical steel burrs shear grain without friction, avoiding the heat created by most grain mills thatcan destroy many of flour's nutrients. And unlike stone grinders (which are made of aluminum oxides that can end up in your flour), steel burrs won't gum up or glaze, and don't add grit to your flour. The high carbon steel burrs are long lasting and easily replaceable.The laminated wood hand mill base easily clamps onto a table or counter top(up to 2 1/8 inches thick.) The motorized mill base sits on non-slip rubber feet. The hand operated mill is by far the easiest to turn of all the hand crank units on the market and the motorized grinder is one of the quietest on the market. It's backed with a lifetime limited warranty against manufacturer's defects.You can buy the system in stages, as your budget allows: Start with the handbase with the grain mill attachment, then add the flaker mill, the slicer/shredder, the meat grinder, or the motorized unit later.

Started on 10mg 2 years ago. Still taking Adderall at 90mg per day. Doesn't work nearly as well but when I first started it was beyond amazing. It was the happy pill I was looking for.
Its a up to date experience
So I've been taking Adderall now for over a year. It definitely gave me the ability to focus finally in my life so much that my confidence has gone up because i feel like its possible to learn and do anything I put my mind to. But unfortunately there is no such thing as a miracle drug and there are side effects. Sometimes my level of focus is so high I can easily go hours on endless research sessions on the computer not knowing when to stop. I do have trouble sleeping sometimes , waking up in spurts through out the night. My sex drive has sky rocketed , i have to be careful even getting on the computer cuz it can easily turn into a all day jerk off session and to make it weirder i find myself watching really kinky porn that I normally wouldn't be into. Also it takes a lot more to get me to laugh sometimes as well , I'm more serious most of the time. But ultimately it comes down to if the benefits out weigh the side effects.
I need this when I have intense study sessions for my college classes. It really helps me to focus on the task at hand. I don't take it on a daily basis. Some side effects include lack of appetite, sleeplessness (which isn't always bad in college!) and some slight shakiness (though that could be due to lack of food). I would and have recommended it.
went to a psychiatrist and gave him all my childhood Add papers and got prescribed adderal xr 30 ml(really was for lyme ,i think?) . This drug saved my life , i stopped drinking the day i started it about 2 and a half years ago ,have not drank since...if i can have an energetic and happy ten more years i could die happy .
I am a 39 year old male who started on Adderall about 2 yrs ago. I come from a family of 5 siblings - 2 without ADD/ADHD, 2 with ADD, & 1 with ADHD. My Father also has ADHD. Those of us with the Disorder could function without medication - but not very well. I took a self imposed v'holiday' from ADD meds between college (which, without meds, I never would have finished) because of the stygma that society puts out about the disorder - I was ashamed. My Wife gave me a new lease on life by suggesting I look back into meds again - she is a mental health professionsal who saw firsthand what finding the right meds can do. My employer, my employees, my friends and family all immediately recognized a positive change in me. If I can help it, I will never go back to the hesitant, frustrated, twitchy self I was before.
Adderall Gave me a new lease on life. I really never knew what it was like to concentrate before. It also helped me with my mild depressive symptoms and social anxiety. I've been off of it for a year for insurance reasons and really do miss it. I did experiance some side effects, including: insomnia, loss of appetite, dry mouth and chapped lips. Small price to pay for clarity, in my opinion. I took 20 mg twice a day.
I am a military retired PTSD/Depression sufferer. This is by far the best medication I have been on. It makes me feel like I fit in and can lead a normal life. This should be one of the first medications they try, before putting people on All the other junk meds like, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)that have WAY to many side effects...

I have Aspergers syndrome with ADHD co-morbid. This is one of a variety of drugs which was used in an attempt to help keep me "focused". One of the salts it contains is Methamphetamine. I took half the dose that was prescribed (10 mg rather than 20) and did not enjoy the "rush". This caused my feet and legs to cramp, swell, made me irritable and edgy. My "pdoc" would not prescribe Dextroamphetamine for YEARS, even though it was and is safer & left me calm and focused. Not one for kids!

The Statute of the Orthodox Church in America
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Orthodox Church in America was originally founded as a mission and later became a diocese in the Orthodox Church of Russia, uniting in its fold Orthodox Christians of various national backgrounds and traditions. It subsequently developed into a self-governing Metropolitanate, the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church of America. Confirmation as an Autocephalous Church was accomplished by the action of the Patriarch and Holy Synod of Russia on April 10, 1970. The Orthodox Church in America was proclaimed an Autocephalous Church on October 20, 1970, at the sessions of the All-American Council held at St Tikhon's Monastery in South Canaan, Pennsylvania.

Included in the set are two of each of the four different top-of-the-range mallets, all recently supplied to top international players. There are two Laser Tuftex LV and two quality Championship models, all four of which are made from lignum vitae, the heaviest wood known and the only timber that will not float in water. The greater density of the wood allows a slightly narrower section mallet, which helps with the playing of difficult hoop shots.
The two standard Laser Tuftex and Association mallets are also top models and they are all designed with traditional octagonal hickory handles which are fitted with super soft Carbotec grips.
The set of Association hoops and hoop drill are the only ones chosen for Croquet Association competitions, and the set of eight matched Championship balls are the finest available. The Championship corner flags of course mark the corners of the court, and the white yard line pegs show the yard line, from where a ball re-enters the playing area after leaving the lawn.
There is a beautiful gold-lined hand-colored winning post to show the order of play, hoop clips to show which hoop a player has reached, and a set of ball markers to record the ball positions. The wooden smasher mallet is used to drive in the hoop drill, after each hoop site has been watered.
Also included are Jaques' "Basic Rules of Croquet", the official Croquet Association rules, and Anton Gill's famous Croquet Guide, which contains a wealth of croquet information. The fantastic cabinet-built mahogany box completes the set, with a lovely tanned leather label and polished brass fittings.
Materials: Wood, Steel.
- Overall: 43.5" x 13.5" x 10.5"
- Hoops: 20.5" x 3.75" x 0.75"

I'd rather be 4-12 than 8-8. 8-8 means we have no shot of improving in 2013, especially the way we draft.
No, the truth is twisted logic for you. I wasn't "whining" as you claim. I responded to your clutching two div rd games from 3 years back like they mean something. Its your habit when you have no answer to fall back on pointless dribble.
I certainly hope you enjoyed those division games because its going to be a while before the circus returns to the post season.
It's just funny how we make 2 title games and it's no big deal while you guys can go back to include every year since 1995 until current and you still wouldn't have 4 playoff wins total and your last title game app was 20 years ago.

With top golf courses, some of Jamaica's most luxurious retreats, and a narrow coastline backed by jungle-like green hills, Montego Bay ("MoBay") is both Jamaica's second-largest city and a prime vacation hub. At its center is the Hip Strip, a tourist-focused street with kitschy clubs like Margaritaville (don't forget your free bong!) and somewhat sketchy casinos and live music venues like Coral Cliff (a popular place to score drugs).
There's less cruise-ship crowding than in Ocho Rios and more development than in Negril, but with small, rocky patches of beach pretty much everywhere except Half Moon and Doctor's Cave, MoBay's main draw is its international airport.
At the top end, luxurious, estate-like Round Hill and Half Moon both still exude their original 1950s British-colonial charm. For golfers, the Ritz-Carlton Rose Hall and its famed White Witch golf course is a premier pick.
Newer, more affordable all-inclusive mega-resorts like the massive, Iberostar Rose Hall, Riu Montego Bay, and Grand Palladium are popping up throughout MoBay (and all of the Caribbean, for that matter).
For a more central, prime party location, budget all-inclusives like Royal Decameron Montego Beach and Breezes Montego Bay are adjacent to motels, but they offer good beaches and are within walking distance of the Hip Strip.
At Oyster Hotel Reviews, value is the most important factor we consider when evaluating a hotel. After sleeping at 40 of the most popular hotels in Jamaica, here are the Montego Bay hotels really offer the most for your money.
In Jamaica, luxury can come from a colonial-style canopy bed frame or an outdoor shower; from over-the-top pampering or warm hospitality; from a champagne flute garnished with sugar cane or a private drive to a roadside jerk chicken shack. We've searched the island for the best hotels and slept in their high-thread-count linens, and these are the hotels in Montego Bay that truly live up to their promised elegance or refined, natural beauty.
Most resorts in Jamaica call themselves "family friendly," and many are. But these Montego Bay hotels are among the few on the island that offer an incredible pool, calm waves at the beach, supervised kids' activities, cribs, and large rooms. Plus, these hotels go above and beyond with everything from private nannies to pirate-ship water parks.
After sleeping at 40 hotels (and counting) across the island of Jamaica, we can confidently say that these are the most comfortable, most beautiful, most distinctly relaxing rooms in Montego Bay.
From fusion to authentic, locally-grown Jamaican fare, these hotels in Montego Bay all showcase exceptional cuisine. Great food is priory-one to make this list, but we also give due attention to the unique settings and stellar service. Also, its worth noting that virtually every hotel in Jamaica offers all-inclusive dining packages -- this means that you can order the lobster and the steak, and not sweat the bill.
These beautiful hotels will help you plan the big day -- and make your wedding an event to remember.
Numerous Jamaican resorts have played host to famous guests from Gwen Stefani -- who loves the island so much she named her child Kingston -- to 50 Cent to Sharon Stone.
On a tropical island, keeping a hotel clean is quite a challenge. A few mosquitoes or even roaches here and there are unavoidable -- even at the poshest of places. But the following is a list of dazzling hotels in Montego Bay -- no dust, strewn hairs, slight stains, or discarded glasses at the beach. But don't just take our word for it -- take a look at our photos, blow them up by clicking the magnifying glass on the top right corner, and see the grout in the bathroom for yourself.
Being that Jamaica is one of the friendliest, most service-oriented islands in the Caribbean, you're likely to find a pleasant, consistently helpful staff at just about any hotel. But for a hotel to make it onto this list, the service must be truly exceptional -- brilliant concierges, prompt room service, welcome freebies, and thoughtful gestures to make every guest feel especially well cared for. Here are our picks for Montego Bay.

|Games with Monkeys are fab!
STOP! Come back! Board games are great - honestly.
One year ago I was just like you and thought that board games were dull, old fashioned and generally uninteresting, but then I discovered Board Games With Scott, and the games he reviewed looked fun. From there I surfed to Board Game Geek where I discovered that there are more games in the world than Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly, Cluedo and Pictionary - really good games. Games that I love to play, games that make me proud to say "I am a board gamer".
Cut to the present day, and I've only gone and invented my own game: Monkey Dash - a two player strategy game, involving two fat monkeys, six 'every-good-game-has-them' regular wooden crates, a couple of competing warehouse supervisors and some quirky game mechanics.
After rigorous play testing with friends and family, Monkey Dash is now ready to stretch its legs, and seeks new fresh play-testing talent.
If you are interested then reply to this thread and I'll point you to a download so that you can print your own prototype, and test it to destruction.
Give me some feedback on the experience and I'll send you the two add-ons which extend the base game.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Mishugana
"I hate mayo, but I love hummus and tahini. People are always asking for the recipe. The tahini gives it a Middle Eastern feel and the lemon, garlic, and ginger flavors really give it a kick! Easy to make, just needs a blender or a food processor. Experiment by adding a bit more lemon or a bit less garlic, or adding ground mint. Works well on anything, especially on simple salads."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
tahini (sesame paste)
1/2 cup
olive oil
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
tamari (dark soy sauce)
2 tablespoons
red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
2 teaspoons
minced fresh ginger root
2 cloves
garlic, pressed
black pepper to taste
Soooooo yummy. The only changes I made was substituting apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar, canola oil for olive oil - less about 1 tablespoon, adding a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, and adding about 1 tablespoon of chopped chives. Adding nutritional yeast will thicken it if you find it too thin, but I did not find that necessary. I thought the consistency was perfect the way it is. Very much like Goddess dressing.
I surprised by all of the positive reviews. For me the tahini and ginger overwhelmed all of the other flavors. I tried to save it by increasing the other ingredients, but it was chalky nonetheless. I will not try it again.

We could not stop eating this! We had fondue and dipped everything from vegetables to meats, breads and crackers!
fantastic! I love how it is creamy without using dairy. I added a bit of lemon zest... really just for the scent (on my hands and in the dressing!) thanks
Super!! Made it as written and it was delicious. Great as a salad dressing or for dipping veggies. Wonderful for dipping Zukes and Cukes. thanks
This is excellent. I substituted dried ginger & garlic powder and used regular soy sauce instead of tamari, and it was still very good. I am sure it is even better as written. Makes a great dressing for pita sandwiches or dip for pretzels, pita chips, veggies, etc.
This was better than the salad dressing at my favorite middle eastern restaurant.
Very tasty!! I scaled the recipe down to half size as I didn't need quite so much. Still used 2 cloves of garlic and not quite as much olive oil as called for. I really enjoyed this - hubby not so much, but it's more a taste preference thing, not the fault of the dressing!

Great meal by Pierre Calmels (Bibou) at Blackfish in Conshohocken
As promised in the Blackfish thread, here are a few photos from Monday's special event at Blackfish with guest chef Pierre Calmels of Bibou byob (both Pierre and Blackfish's Chip Roman were in the kitchen). As expected, a wonderful dinner in the French bistro style with Alsatian influences that Pierre is known for. Despite the Monday (normally they are closed), it was a completely packed house (noise was at an energetic level, but not uncomfortably so).
Rutabaga soup with grape chutney
~The fruity, tart chutney in the center completely made this dish
Scottish wild hare terrine with Cumberland sauce, greens and balsamic
~Curious, but it is generally thought of as English sauce, or is it also served in Alsace?
Sautéed wild striped bass, chanterelles, spinach fricassee and red wine sauce
~Dish of the evening in my opinion
Stuffed pig feet with foie gras, braised lentils du puy
~DK's dish of the evening, although it was too rich for me (I have a low tolerance for very rich meat; fortunately one of our Cote Roties was fairly acidic and went well with this). This is the dish that Robert Parker recently described at Bibou as putting him in "Rabelaisian Nirvana"!
Warm apple Tatin with honey ice hcream
~A beautiful mini-tarte Tatin, with (poached?) apples and subtly flavored ice cream
WINES (byob):
1997 Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc (went really well with the bass)
1997 Jean-Michael Gerin Cote-Rotie Les Grandes Places
1997 M. Chapoutier Cote-Rotie La Mordoree (wonderfully smokey, like a single malt!)
1996 Chateau Raymond-Lafon Sauternes (375mL)
1997 Chateau Cru D'arche Pugneau Sauternes (375mL)
$75 +tax/tip
According the Maitre d' Michael, they are discussing inviting Chip to Bibou. The only problem is that Bibou's kitchen is much smaller than Blackfish, so it will be hard to squeeze in both chefs (and their sous-chefs?) into the kitchen.
We attended the same dinner and agree with most of what Tir-na-nOg has to say. Since my spouse no longer drinks, I brought my own half bottle of wine -- too bad we could not bring a selection. I really enjoyed the rutabaga soup even without the grape chutney and will try to make it myself! Never ever thought of making rutabaga soup. The only downside was that we had a reservation at Bibou a couple of days later and so had to order a dessert other than the tarte tatin (I had the goats milk creme brulee and my husband had the chocolate plate).
I love this idea...since I live in Chester County, a drive to Conshy is not out of the question, but a drive into town gives me a headache, just to think about it.

Christmas this year will be extra special for Jessica and Anthony Metz.
For most parents, celebrating their son's first birthday just days before would provide reason enough. Add lifethreatening complications that made their son Bennett's premature birth anything but normal and you begin to understand the richer meaning of the upcoming holiday season for this Thomaston family.
With a due date of Feb. 2, 2013, Bennett's premature birth on Dec. 21, 2012 required all the advanced skills of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) staff at the Bridgeport and New Haven campuses of Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital (YNHCH). "Until then, it was a perfect pregnancy," recalled Jessica.
The 35-year-old mom worked out regularly, ate organically and took vitamins recommended by a naturopathic doctor. "I didn't even get a cold," despite her job as a high school teacher exposed to the random germs of a student population.
All that began to change on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012. "I started having contractions, so I called my doctor, who asked me to time them." Not more than six minutes apart. Nothing to be concerned about. "But as the week progressed, I began to feel worse," she said.
Jessica's Ob/Gyn advised staying home and resting. But at 1 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21, Jessica's water broke. "I woke Anthony and he called my doctor, who was already at Griffin Hospital and met us there," said Jessica. Uncertain she was in labor, her doctor ran tests to confirm the liquid was amniotic fluid. But the tests were inconclusive. "Meanwhile, I continued to lose more fluid."
The team at Bridgeport Knowing she was only 29 weeks into her pregnancy, her doctor advised transferring Jessica by ambulance to Bridgeport Hospital, where the NICU is well equipped to care for a child under the normal 40 weeks full term. "Infants at less than 36 weeks are at risk of lung immaturity," noted Harris Jacobs, MD, chair of Pediatrics at Bridgeport Hospital. "This can require specialized care, which we're highly experienced in providing."
Jessica arrived at Bridgeport Hospital around 4 a.m. and was brought to the Antenatal Testing Unit of Labor and Delivery where tests quickly confirmed the fluid was amniotic and her cervix was dilated. Epidural anesthesia, which blocks pain in the lower spine, was administered and an I.V. started.
Another complication: Jessica's multiple collapsed lungs over the years meant "pushing" during normal delivery could cause another lung collapse. So, a cesarean section was scheduled. Obstetrician Peter Marcus, MD, performed the surgery. Cheryl Menzies, MD, a neonatologist trained in dealing with complications associated with premature births, was on hand to provide resuscitation, if needed.
"As they started prepping me for surgery, I was told what to expect," she said. "I was also told the baby's lungs were under-developed. It was scary." The cesarean went without a hitch, then Jessica heard Bennett cry. "It was a good sign. The lungs were functioning."
Bennett was brought to a room within Labor and Delivery to check his breathing and other vital signs. "We were told he was having some trouble breathing and they gave him oxygen through CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). They also put Bennett in an incubator and rolled him to me so I could see him. But I couldn't hold him."
In 1992, Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital (YNHCH) became the first hospital in Connecticut to provide ECMO to treat neonatal respiratory failure.
In 2012 and 2010, YNHCH received the "Center of Excellence in Life Support" award from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO) for its pediatric ECMO program.
ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) is a special infant life-support system used for lifethreatening heart and/or lung problems. The ECMO machine adds oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide, enabling the sick heart and/or lungs to rest and heal.
YNHH's pediatric ECMO program is the only one in the state and one of just three ELSO-registered programs in New England. The program includes physicians, respiratory therapists and nurses specially trained in ECMO.
From there, Jessica went to recovery. Bennett was taken to the NICU, which is equipped to deliver the highest level of intensive care in Fairfield County with the most advanced technology, noted Dr. Jacobs, including highfrequency ventilators, inhaled nitric oxide to treat severe lung disorders in neonatal patients and total body cooling to reduce the risk of brain injury when the newborn is deprived of oxygen.
"We're the first Fairfield County hospital to offer highfrequency ventilation, which provides oxygen to newborn infants with life-threatening lung disease," explained Robert Herzlinger, MD, director of Neonatology at Bridgeport Hospital. "We can also provide onsite pediatric subspecialty support in pediatric cardiology, pulmonology, neurology and gastroenterology." Other hospitals often rely on outside specialists.
To improve Bennett's oxygen level, he was placed on a ventilator and given doses of surfactant, a chemical lacking in the lungs of some premature infants. But there was no improvement. Next, Bennett was placed on a high-frequency ventilator. He also required a chest tube to re-inflate a collapsed lung. Still no change in Bennett's condition. Until Dec. 24.
Jessica and Anthony will always remember Christmas Eve, 2012, three days after Bennett's birth, but more importantly the beginning of his slow but steady turnaround. That's when Dr. Jacobs recommended extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which is partial heartlung bypass and available at Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital. In early 2012, Bridgeport Hospital's pediatric services – including the 42 pediatric and NICU beds – integrated with Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital.
ECMO is just one of the many pediatric specialties and programs now available to Bridgeport-area pediatric patients as a result of uniting the state's largest pediatric services provider (YNHCH) with the third largest (Bridgeport Hospital). "Providing easier access to these specialties and treatments is a major reason why Bridgeport Hospital's department of Pediatrics integrated with YNHCH," noted Dr. Jacobs. "Integrating them also enables the two staffs to build on the pediatric expertise of both hospitals and that will benefit our patients."
"It's total coordinated care, including surgery for high-risk cases such as premature infants," added Dr. Herzlinger.
The team at New HavenWith the decision made for ECMO, Bridgeport Hospital arranged to transfer Bennett to YNHCH the same day.
Within 24 hours after arriving, Bennett met criteria for ECMO. Under the care of pediatrician Orly Levit, MD, he was sedated and began ECMO treatment, which circulates and oxygenates the infant's blood. While ECMO filled Bennett's body with desperately needed oxygen, it allowed his lungs to rest, so they could strengthen and heal.
"The first 24 hours of ECMO were critical as to whether Bennett would live or die," recalled Jessica, who also was transferred to YNHCH, where she stayed the first night, then returned each day from her home in Thomaston. Christmas Eve and Christmas day passed with Bennett on ECMO. Then the entire week passed, painfully slow – until Saturday, Dec. 29, Anthony's birthday. That day brought a special birthday gift – Bennett's lungs were finally responding, one in a series of positive changes.
ECMO treatment was stopped and Bennett was back on a respirator. "We were told he could have been on the respirator for a month. But he was on it for only one day. Then they placed him on regular oxygen." "One reason Bennett did so well was because he was transferred early, allowing ECMO to start as soon as it was needed," explained Dr. Jacobs.
The Bridgeport campus of Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital features:
While ECMO treatment proved the turning point, Bennett's care was far from over. The next six weeks included reducing his sedation level and helping him learn to eat. That step began with breast milk fed first through a tube, then from a bottle until he was able to breast-feed directly. "I didn't get a chance to hold Bennett until January 1. The only thing I could hold was his hand," she explained, which Jessica and Anthony did faithfully, day after day. Although Bennett's entire medical team offered daily encouragement and support, one doctor stands out to the new parents: Matthew Bizzarro, MD, director of the pediatric ECMO program. As Jessica recalled: "He would walk by, look in on Bennett and say, 'You don't know how amazing he is.'" Dr. Bizzarro was referring to how quickly Bennett was progressing. "They were all so impressed with him."
Ironically, Bennett left YNHCH for home on Feb. 2 – Jessica's original due date. Now, almost 10 months after his birth, "Bennett's overall health is great and he is growing like a weed," said Jessica.
And thanks to the timely decisions and expert care of the pediatric services staff at the Bridgeport and New Haven campuses of YNHCH, this holiday season for Jessica and Anthony will include a truly special gift – the gift of a lifetime.

ST. MARYS – Taking care of an adult loved one with progressive physical or cognitive disabilities can be frustrating for both the adult and the caregiver at times. A program called Adult Day Services can give caregivers respite and provide a quality atmosphere for older adults who can no longer be left alone for long periods of time-- and now area residents may take advantage of a trial run.
ST. MARYS – An upcoming day camp for children and teens who have experienced a loss through death is being offered to area youth by Community Nurses, Inc.
The free, two-day "Camp Flutterbye" will be held Thursday, June 14 and Friday, June 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day at The Pines, located on 1008 Windfall Rd. in St. Marys.
ST. MARYS – On June 1 and 2, local Jaffa Shriners will be conducting the organization's Annual Shrine Hospital Crusade, which specifically benefits their hospitals located in Erie and Philadelphia.
KERSEY - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader softball team captured the District 9 Class A championship by defeating the Brockway Lady Rovers by a 4-0 score Thursday afternoon at the Fox Township Community Park in Kersey.
The Lady Crusaders used a two-run home run by Lyndsey Trumbull in the second inning and a two-run double by Michelle Imbrogno in the sixth inning to account for their four runs.
After pulling off a big win Wednesday to knock off an undefeated Johnsonburg squad and advance to the D9 Class A baseball final, the Elk County Catholic Crusaders came out flat on Thursday evening at Berwind Park. The ECC squad got behind early, struggled with their offense, and were shut out 7-0 by a very good Coudersport team, which entered the tournament as the sixth seed.
JOHNSONBURG – Michael Shuey and the Johnsonburg track and field coaching staff ran the gamut of emotions last Friday during the javelin event at the PIAA Track and Field Championship Meet at Shippensburg University.
In the end, the wonder with the anticipation to victory became joy with the realization of a gold medal for the Johnsonburg senior.
Shuey took the PIAA gold medal in the javelin with a throw of 200-1, a mark he established with his first throw of the competition.
Throw on your best polka dot shirt and head on down to the Courthouse Gazebo in downtown Ridgway this Friday night to watch the Friday Niters perform polka hits as part of the polka-themed First Friday initiative presented by the Elk County Concert Series.
The Friday Niters will be performing Friday, June 1 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. to kick off the Eighth Annual Elk County Summer Concert Series.
Emily Karyl Ames was the salutatorian of the Ridgway Area High School Class of 2012 and spoke about the memories made through the past years of school during the RHS graduation ceremonies held Sunday afternoon at Memorial Field.
Ames referenced a speech from "Grey's Anatomy" during her opening statements.
One is the loneliest number.
Elk County Catholic (16-6) dealt previously undefeated Johnsonburg (20-1) a stunning 5-2 defeat Wednesday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recreational Park, ousting the No. 1 seed from the District 9 Class A baseball playoffs in the process. Throughout the season, one run was often times the difference in a game for the Rams; on Wednesday, just one loss spoiled their season and kept them out of both the district title game and the state playoffs.
Valjean Rae Ward, 54, of Emporium, died Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at UPMC Montefiore, Pittsburgh, after a short illness.
She was born April 4, 1958 in Ridgway, daughter of the late John L and Ruth M. (Watson) Ward.
She worked at Elcam in St. Marys and lived most of her life in Ridgway and the past few years in Emporium. She attended Emporium churches and Sheltered Workshop of Ridgway.

At first glance, it might be easy to view the white and pink sand beaches and breathtaking coral reefs of Barbados as a clichéd Caribbean island experience, but there's more to it than that. The island has developed quickly from an impoverished sugar based economy to a democracy with one of the highest literacy rates in the Western Hemisphere. Despite these impressive changes, the friendly locals (known as Bajans) maintain a noticeable amount of British customs from their colonial past, such as afternoon tea time and driving on the left. The local cuisine is even a hybrid: expect to see flying fish on every menu --it's so culturally important it's even on the local currency -- and spicy Caribbean stews served next to bland English fare like potatoes.
Barbados stands out from other Caribbean islands with the diverse set of visitors it attracts, ranging from budget travelers to luxury vacationers. The calm luxurious beaches of the west coast attract the majority of tourists, especially near the lively St. Lawrence Gap area. The windswept east coast attracts a fair share as well, with surfer-friendly shores facing the Atlantic (in fact, there are so many hills and sharp cliffs that it's sometimes referred to as Scotland).
There is an extensive bus system in place for getting around Barbados, but a car or taxi is required to reach any of the lesser known attractions. Unfortunately, driving conditions on the island can be pretty miserable: Roads are narrow, pedestrians can clog highways, construction is widespread and never-ending, and inclines are steep (to say nothing of expensive car rental rates).
Bridgetown: Located near the southwestern corner of the island, capital city is sophisticated, with high-end shopping, dining, and decent nightlife. Most guests choose to stay below downtown near the southern lip of Carlisle Bay, which puts you on the beach, near golf courses and a short drive away from the bustling nightlife of Southern Barbados.
Western Barbados: The west coast of the island is popular thanks to its calm beaches, beautiful coral reefs and luxury hotels. Golfers and shoppers looking to hit stores in Bridgetown should stick close to Paynes Bay, while couples or families less concerned with nightlife should head farther north towards Heywoods Beach.
Eastern and Central Barbados: The east coast is windy with choppier beaches, but it's home to popular sites such as the Andromeda Botanical Gardens and world-famous golf. Bathsheba is a popular destination due to its concentration of resorts.
Southern Barbados: The southern coast of the island is arguably the most happening. The northern side of Oistin Bay is a popular destination, since party-goers tend to congregate along St. Lawrence Gap's lively bars and restaurants.

Anniversaries are an occasion for reflection, an opportunity to take a look back at something and see how much you've grown or how far you've fallen. For the Buffalo Bills, the 20th anniversary of their last Super Bowl appearance seems to be a cause to reflect on the two decades of futility since that have seen only five winning seasons.
That said, when comparing the current team to the team that won its fourth consecutive AFC championship 20 years ago, it seems the current incarnation of the Bills might not be as far off from success as many believe.
Let's look at the basic facts first. The 1993 Buffalo Bills finished the regular season 12-4. They beat the Los Angeles Raiders in the divisional playoff round and the Kansas City Chiefs in the conference championship game before falling 30-13 to the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl (which I was at, for the record, making it even more heart-breaking).
