Sylvia Center Cooks Up A Family Class at Valley Variety
Program Director Jenn So with young cooks in training.
By Jamie Larson
The Sylvia Center at Katchkie Farm in Kinderhook is an excellent example of how our regionally specific "farm to table" philosophy runs deeper than commerce and consumption. The programing provided on site at the farm during the growing season, and now to local children after school, is helping to expand the inclusivity and reach of the local farm and food community that many of us have come to take for granted.
The Center's latest series of cooking classes brings kids and parents from Hudson, New York's at-risk community, where food insecurity and lack of access to healthy options are serious and under-addressed issues, into the kitchen at Valley Variety for a free six-week course on how to prepare healthy meals and hone cooking skills.
Jenn So, who leads the classes and is the Sylvia Center's director of programs, says the classes are a welcome expansion of their mission that, along with their after-school programs in the Hudson City School District, is funded through a generous grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
"Kids are picky eaters, so we create an environment where we expose kids to what hasn't worked for them in the past," says So. "The veggie mac and cheese is one the kids really like. It's not just the veggies but the addition of a freshly made sauce, too. They see what goes into it. Also, because the class is six weeks, the kids really become confident in their skills."
The parents say they're picking up some useful new skills and recipes but are also just pleased to see their kids so engaged and eager to cook.
"She's really been enjoying the new types of food we've been making," father and EMT William Mackey says of his daughter, as she busily stirs the batter for banana chocolate chip muffins. "We've already started eating healthier at home. This makes me much more aware of our options and we've learned some new techniques."
Another aspect So says is rewarding about the Wednesday night class is how it brings together the two halves of the Hudson community that is so dramatically and visibly segregated along racial and economic lines.
"We all know about the gentrification of Hudson," So says. "One thing that's special about this class is that, with Valley Variety hosting, it's a great opportunity for a community that has been displaced to feel comfortable in a space they might not have otherwise."
The plain truth is that seeing a group of families of color casually enjoying themselves in one of Hudson's many high-end stores is, unfortunately, anomalous.
"It was always a part of the idea to use the space with the community," saysd Valley Variety owner Chuck Rosenthal, who's hosting the classes for free. "So when the Sylvia Center approached us, it was a natural fit."
The Sylvia Center's on-farm programing won't get rolling until the plants get growing in the summer time, but their website offers some great examples of their programs worth checking out or donating to. And So says they're always looking for volunteers.
The Center's work supports a rich connection between community and agriculture in ways that are deep, making foundational connections that, if the kids at Valley Variety are any indication, will last a long, long time.

Hudson Sock Auction Brings Warmth At A Cold Time
By Jamie Larson
It's hard these days, for Americans with the capacity for empathy, to know how to prioritize our not inexhaustible philanthropic energies and resources, beset as we are, on all fronts now, by animus and woe. When the whole nation seems to be falling quickly into a long cold darkness, how does one choose which piece of limited kindling would do the most good if lit first?
Well, that's how I've been feeling anyway. So color me surprised when I found a supremely worthy cause in the form of the upcoming Hudson Neighborhood Knitters Sock Auction. The event, to be held Saturday, Feb. 18 at Verdigris Tea and Chocolate in Hudson (where the group meets to stitch and crochet regularly) will auction off dozens of handmade socks stuffed with prizes, including a $100 bill. The proceeds from the sale of the footwear will go towards the pre-assured purchase of 500 pairs of high-quality thermal socks, distributed by the Hudson Salvation Army to local folks in need this increasingly difficult winter.
Socks have always been the number one item requested by the homeless, and the founder of Hudson Neighborhood Knitters Claudia Krisniski says being able to make a meaningful personal impact in the community while doing something they love (and would be doing anyway) shows that every little bit counts.
"Knitters love to give back," says Krisniski, owner of the Country Wool shop. "We live in turbulent times. I grew up in the 60s and it feels the same now. People need to ground themselves and take care of their neighbors."
The auction will be first and foremost a really fun event. There will be refreshments, a wine bar and music.
"When we display the socks there are also fun facts, including how many hours they took to make," says Krisniski. "One pair took ten episodes of Gun Smoke."
The power of knitting as a symbol of charity and support was on full display recently during the national and international women's marches when hand-knit pink "cat" hats were imbued with a powerful meaning. When the opposition seems insurmountably monolithic, symbols become more important than ever. There will be a pair of pink socks with a set of cat ears up for auction.
"We have to take care of our neighbors now. I hope we will be fine," says Krisniski, who supplied a lot of pink yarn through Country Wool for those revolutionary hats. "If we look out for each other locally, hopefully we can get through what the administration throws our way."
Professional auctioneer Rupert Fennell has volunteered his time to auction off the socks. There will be at least 25 pairs up for grabs; they include some extremely intricate styles and designs for men, women and children. A few pairs are already on display at Verdigris, so if you didn't already have an excuse to go there this week, you're welcome.
"The knitters have always been a joy to have at Verdigris. They brighten up my day whenever they meet," says Verdigris owner Kim Bach. "This is a great way to help the homeless and I think the plan is to do this every year. So far, the socks that we're displaying are incredible. They are each really different and so many people are participating. It's really impressive."
Indeed. Knitting a gift of support, whether it's pink hats for women's rights, blankets for troops abroad or socks for the homeless, takes an implicit dedication of time, thought and care. It's something hard to define about tradition, warmth, home and compassion. It seems more difficult each day to decode why we all must struggle so and what on earth we can do to help each other but I can tell you one thing I know that helps; socks. Socks help.
Hudson Neighborhood Knitters Sock Auction
Saturday, Feb. 18, 7-9 p.m.

Eye Candy Close To Home: A Social Media Guide
By Nichole Dupont
Cutting the junk out of your diet is a staple for New Year success (or so we all think). But before you hop off the social media train and vow never to "waste time" on Instagram again, maybe you should take a look at these eye-catching, clever sites from the Rural Intelligence region that cover the gamut; food, fashion, photography, even a little bit of philosophy. Artists, business owners and foodies are becoming (or have already become) connoisseurs of the quip, offering up tidbits of whimsy that could very well spark a kitchen remodel…or a tart…or a trip to the library. Call it politics-free browsing, with purpose.
Let's begin with the creature comforts. Or, the only comfort. Despite the snarky memes about not posting what you're having for dinner, we love pictures of food. And anything eats related. Harney & Sons Tea out of Millerton, New York has a gorgeous website, complete with blog and gallery pics, which will immediately inspire you to get out your only tray and serve up some biscuits and tea. A heartier, vegan feast for the eyes is found at the Zen-esque Instagram home of Elixir, a vegan café in Great Barrington, Mass. Morning light streams across a bowl of porridge stocked with pecans, pepitas and bananas, and you can't help but want to recreate that healing fare for yourself.
Another food porn site — this one veers more towards vintage decadence — is the Insta-home of Pleasant and Main Café in Housatonic, Mass. Serving stands are piled high with fat muffins and croissants and sweet crepes are dusted with confectioner's sugar, and all of the food is set in charming seasonal vignettes.
If you want to do a little more than just look and drool, A Raisin and a Porpoise is a blog worth visiting. The witty (and deep) musings of Berkshire-based writer, mother and sheep farmer Janet Elsbach are combined with recipes. From delicate glazed madeleines to nettle and potato hash, the recipes — dotted with great photos of Elsbach's expressive critters — are the epitome of country comfort, right down to the tablecloth pattern. But always with a twist.
More country charm awaits at Made in Ghent, the cyber home of Little Ghent Farm, a work-in-progress, diversified family farm and deli outlet in Ghent, New York. Green springscapes, gem-colored preserves, and even a muddy swine or two seem almost holy in their screen presence. (With such gorgeous photos, it comes as no surprise that co-owner Richard Beaven is a professional photographer.)
Speaking of piggies, Raven and Boar, a small Chatham, New York pig, poultry and produce farm, boasts a gorgeous gallery of everything that is essential and romantic about life on the farm. The irony of life is captured while scrolling through pictures of fat, whiskered pigs and thickly marbled cuts of meat. And it's beautiful.
Real Estate
Everybody loves a good kitchen. Or bathtub. Or even balustrade (yeah, I wrote that). And we are all guilty of perusing and sighing over local real estate guides, poring over grainy pics of lakes and cathedral ceilings. Why not enjoy the view in color? Upstater.com is "living" website of real estate — including vacation and rental properties — on both sides of the Hudson River. The site is curated and provides new content daily. One can easily get lost in thought looking at enchanted cottages and lacy Victorians, many of which are affordable and just within reach.
A crazy-decadent real estate experience can be found on the William Pitt Sotheby's Instagram home for Connecticut and Massachusetts. Style-drenched images of airy farmhouse kitchens, hidden gardens, and sophisticated libraries have provided this writer an escape from waiting room doldrums.
Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't toot our own horn when it comes to real estate; Rural Intelligence features real estate listings of some of the region's most outstanding properties every week in our Real Estate pages. Just so you know.
The Stage
Sometimes a little snippet of performance is all that's needed to get the creative juices flowing (or to inspire you to finally buy that season stage pass). If you have an hour, or several hours as will probably be the case, check out the mother lode of recorded performances and vintage photographs at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival archives page. The archives pay homage to many of the dancers who have graced the Pillow stage (including Mikhail Baryshnikov, whom yours truly got to see when she was 16 years old, total fangirl). Of course, founder Ted Shawn and the Men Dancers play predominantly in the mass content of the archives.
Old black and whites of gorgeous dancers find kinship with the nostalgic images put out by the Hudson Opera House (located on Warren Street). A collage of images include the long road of that building's renovation as well as rich color shots of current exhibitions and performances and sepia-stained ephemera.
Art and Photography
Arguably, everything on social media (especially Instagram) is art. I'll leave that to you and your tiny Polaroid carrying friends to suss that out, but in the meantime, real beautiful work is showing up on Imgrum from the likes of the very young, very talented Jake Borden, a Berkshires-based camera fella and assistant to NatGeo photographer John Stanmeyer. Borden boasts an Instagram account — jakebordenphoto — of gritty, haunting portraits and landscapes. Also in the photography frame is fashion designer Adam Lippes, who will occasionally post from his weekend getaway in Monterey, Mass., but mostly the page is suffused with gorgeous settings and stunning models in Lippes' designs.
Artist and designer Ali Herrmann floods her Instagram account with bright bespoke images of her work. The mostly heavy-duty encaustic and oil paintings are available on Etsy as well, should the screen on your phone not suffice.

Masterson and Davidson Have Stories To Tell
Photo by Deborah Lopez
By Jamie Larson
When well-known actors/directors Mary Stuart Masterson and Jeremy Davidson moved to northern Dutchess County three years ago, they found a comfortable family home and a community they enjoy. Then they found a trove of local stories they wanted to tell. Storyhorse Documentary Theater, now in its sophomore season, was started by the couple to tell those true stories, steeped in local culture.
Their latest dramatic reading, The Kept Private, delves into the all-too-true history and legacy of slavery and racism in the Hudson Valley. Written by Davidson and starring accomplished actors including Masterson, who is relinquishing directing duties for the first time to Carl Cofield, the performance will be staged November 10 through 13 in a barn at Brook No Evil Farm in Red Hook, where the piece's main character rests in a small cemetery.

Masterson (Fried Green Tomatos, Benny & Joon, The Cake Eaters, and a recent guest starring role on NCIS) and Davidson (Salt, Windtalkers, and an impressive list of recognizable TV roles) moved to the area after the arrival of their fourth child.
"We knew we wanted to raise our kids in a rural setting and we also needed to be within striking distance of NYC," Masterson said, adding that they first tried living in Westchester County. "But we couldn't hack the suburban life, mostly because we work from home and, 'home' has to have its own center rather than be the place where the bed is while everything else revolves around the city."
"[Here]I knew I could grow vegetables, have enough space for everyone to spread out and good schools for the kids, but what I didn't know was that Jeremy and I would be smack in the middle of a cultural, intellectual Eden. Surrounded by interesting people living deliberate and conscious lives in an exquisite setting, it seemed to evolve naturally that our work would grow out of this place in which we want to grow deep roots. "

Davidson said they fell in love with the area while visiting friends and knew instantly it was the place to finally make a permanent home.
"We've always kind of been gypsies," he said. "Our work creates this sort of disconnected, transient life where you're always moving and you're surrounded, usually, by like-minded people. Here there are people busting their butts for a living and everyone has different and important stories."
Though they're still relatively new to the area, they say the style of life in the upper Hudson Valley suits them well. You can't really blame other local celebrities for wanting to have some incognito time when they come home to the RI region, but Masterson and Davidson seem to have a compulsion for community activity. In addition to everything else, Masterson has been working with Stockade Works in Kingston to help pass legislation to increase the tax credit for upstate film makers from 30 to 40 percent. The bill recently passed the legislature and awaits the governor's signature.
The barn at Brook No Evil Farm.
"Oh gosh," Masterson said, thinking up a list of her regular haunts. "There are so many good places to eat! I love Cinnamon and Samuel's in Rhinebeck, Mercato in Red Hook, and literally everywhere I've been in Tivoli. I love Poet's Walk and Montgomery Place for gentle hikes. Hearty Roots, Sawkill and Westwind are farms that are nice to visit."
Right now the couple are in crunch time, preparing for The Kept Private, opening only weeks after a successful run of their other show for the year, Good Dirt (based on the stories of local farmers and preformed at Bard's Fisher Center in October). Davidson said the weight of the real lives behind these stories is what motivates him.
"When someone shares their story with you it's a really courageous act," Davidson said. "You hear the intimacy of their lives. I feel a responsibility to get it done right. These stories have some stakes involved. I know we're not going to heal anything but we are having the conversation. Acknowledging that someone's voice matters is really special."
Susan Frazier, 1880.
The Kept Private was based on Professor Brian McAdoo's Earth Science survey of African-American burial grounds in Rhinebeck, conversations about race in our community, historical documents, and the 1834 Revolutionary War pension application of a 93-year-old black farmer from Milan named Andrew Frazier. While Masterson usually directs, given the topic, they wanted to collaborate with artists of color, bringing on Cofield to guide the performances of the diverse cast and its designers. After the reading there will be an audience "talkback" with historians and Black Lives Matter activists to further contextualize the work.
"For the performance we wanted to weave together a tapestry of race and slavery. Doing it in a Dutch barn that contains that history is really relevant," Davidson said. "But we knew this wasn't just our story to tell."
Storyhorse performances this season are even more deeply connected to a sense of place than last year's. That connection feels like a testament to how fully Masterson and Davidson have opened themselves up to their new hometown. And it's given them a chance to work together. It's like a little mom and pop business…run by movie stars. One thing that's really impressive about the pair is that they manage to make that seeming contradiction comfortably true.
"We love this work because it adds more meaning to our lives than it takes resources from our energy bank," Masterson said. "I think we work very well together and complement each other's strengths and weakness. We have always collaborated, so it is nothing new. It is just a progression for us."

10 Things To Love About Clinton
Hummingbird Ranch
By Merida Welles
Formally settled in 1786, the picturesque Town of Clinton in Dutchess County offers stunning pastoral scenery, a profusion of winding country roads (many unpaved), and a number of architectural gems, no fewer than four on the National Register of Historic Places. The town (not to be confused with Clinton, Oneida County, the site of Hamilton College), is now comprised of seven historic hamlets just east of Rhinebeck and Hyde Park. It was named not for an ex-President's family but after George Clinton, New York governor during the Revolutionary War. Clinton Corners, Clinton Hollow, Frost Mills, Schultzville, Hibernia and Bulls Head were all built up around thriving mills well before 1800. Pleasant Plains appears to have grown up around a handsome Presbyterian church, a local historical landmark. Having enjoyed our Clinton farmhouse for over 30 years now, I can recommend the following local highlights.
1. Clinton Town Hall Campus
A good place to start is right around the Clinton Town Hall where the Masonic Hall and the Spooky Hollow Schoolhouse will delight architecture and history buffs. The Hall is an historic two-story wooden-frame building built in 1865 in the Italianate style with a central hexagonal cupola. The Clinton Library offers a quiet retreat and welcome Wi-Fi access while birdwatchers can enjoy the Clinton Nature Trail just outsidey. Try spotting hawks, flycatchers and cedar waxwings as you wander past groves of hickory and elm down to Little Wappinger Creek, one of my favorite local waterways.
2. Clinton Rec Park
Clinton residents can get a permission sticker from the Town Hall to swim at the delightful recreation center, more formally known as the Frances J. Mark Memorial Park, just 4 miles south of the Town Hall. Besides being a cooling watering hole and beach on steaming summer days, it also offers kids a welcome playground and ball fields. Indeed, my sons passed many a joyful afternoon here.
3. Meadlowland Farm
Lovers of organic fare should not miss Meadowland Farm, where grazing alpacas, sheep and donkeys lend a bucolic note of country charm. An original Dutchess County homestead dating from 1790, Meadowland is said to have been continuously run by a single family, and may have served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. The farm operates on the honor system: choose your grass-fed lamb and free range pork from the large glass-front freezer and the organic fruits and vegetables nearby, weigh them up and leave your cash in the box provided. Welcome to country life!
4. Jeanie Bean & Family
"Who has a bloody piano in a deli?" laughs Jeanie Bean, the effervescent English proprietress of an eponymous Clinton Corners icon with a black piano next to a life-sized papier mache cow. Ostensibly a country store, Jeanie Bean's is the whimsical centerpiece of Clinton Corners. Jeanie and her husband David, who met while filming West Side Story decades ago in LA, resonate with energy and anecdotes. Their daughter Jennifer now runs the store, offering delicatessen delights and British-themed gifts in a room decorated with oil paintings, well-worn sofas and personal photos, under a vintage tin ceiling. "In an era of fast food, we cherish places of character and personality," commented Gully Stamford, a retired theater executive enjoying breakfast here one Monday. Don't miss "The Book Booth," just outside and located in a classic red British telephone booth.
5. Harker House Wines and Spirits
Just across the street from Bean's is the newly opened Harker House, run by Hal Harker Newell and his wife Tara. Harker House currently offers 150 global wines as well as a supply of New York produced spirits (7 vodkas, 8 bourbons, 9 whiskeys). Cider and cassis are also available. "We try to focus on affordable and boutique producers," says Hal, a former environmental engineer, standing with a geologic map of the United States behind him.
6. Creek Meeting House
Just a thousand feet down the road from Harker House is a handsome two-story fieldstone building, built between 1777 and 1782. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Creek House is owned by The Clinton Historical Society, which retains archives of local country information, offers exhibits on summer weekends and monthly Friday night programs during the year. President Cynthia Koch, a historian and teacher, recommends visiting the Society's Facebook page for further details and also welcomes volunteer archivists. This former Quaker meeting house is set opposite the Quaker Church and next to the historic Friends' Cemetery, both also on the National Registry for Historic Places. Stroll among the mossy tombstones for a sense of historical perspective.
7. Clinton Vineyards and Wine Trail
Right about now, Hillary Clinton could probably use a bottle of 2012 "Victory White," a seyval blanc sent to her in 2013 from the Clinton Vineyards to encourage her to run for President. Clearly, the gesture was effective! Founded 40 years ago by Phyllis Feder and her late husband Ben, Clinton Vineyards offers visitors an array of award-winning locally grown vintages, particularly champagnes and dessert wines. "A perfect place to bring a blanket and a picnic and lounge for hours," commented a recent guest.
8. Schultzville General Store and Cafe
Taken over in April by two Wells brothers, this country store and cafe currently serves breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch. Kameron, a former naturopathic doctor, and Kyle, an interior designer turned cook, are quick to point out that theirs is still a "work in progress" but they take pride in two signature dishes: "Cranberry Raisin French Toast Dusted with Roasted Pistachios and Cardamom Butter" and their "Schultzville Reuben" with its "cheese skirt." Says Kyle, "Customers just love it!" Don't forget to sign the guest book.
Open Tuesday – Sunday from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

9. Omega Institute for Holistic Studies
Those seeking spiritual enlightenment might be drawn to the Omega Institute. A non-profit educational retreat on a sprawling 200-acre campus, the institute offers workshops, professional trainings and conferences to more than 25,000 people a year. Its mission is to "provide hope and healing for individuals and society through innovative educational experiences that awaken the best in the human spirit." Celebrated speakers from Al Gore and Christopher Reeve to Eckhart Tolle, Maya Angelou and Jane Goodall have presented here. At its award-winning glass-walled building, Eco Machine, visitors and students can learn about the center's innovative Sustainable Living programs.
10. Hummingbird Ranch Country Store
Just over the Clinton Town border is a jewel of a shop tucked away next to the Salt Point Deli. Hummingbird Ranch focuses on homemade and locally produced goods. In this pint-sized boutique, founders Rich and Debbie Focht have established a beckoning array of local honeys, beeswax candles, jewelry, homemade candy, jigsaw puzzles, organic teas and even, on weekends, fresh-cut flowers. My personal favorite, which I devour by the spoonful, is Gourmet Honey & Pollen Blackberry Cashew Butter. Make sure to stop at the deli next door to see Sam (co-owner, Samir Patel) for one of his first-rate subs.

With Song, Our Voices May Help End Gun Violence
In 2007, Congress designated September as a day of remembrance for gun violence victims. Yet the fact remains that since then, Congress hasn't done much to alleviate the scourge of gun violence.
This year — an election year — activists will be uniting musicians to bring awareness and seek voter action against the gun violence epidemic in America. On Sunday, Great Barrington and Williamstown concerts will join the more than 350 venues producing versions of The Concert Across America to End Gun Violence.
"If deaths by shooting were a disease, or any kind of illness that killed people in these numbers, we'd be all over it," says Southfield resident Elise Richman [photo, left], who is organizing the Great Barrington concert. The landscape designer has a personal stake in the issue: 43 years ago her father was killed at a dinner party by a jealous ex-husband who came in the house to kill all the men. Having become an activist, Richman was also one of the original founders of the Million Mom March in Washington, DC in 2000.
Headlining the Great Barrington concert will be Grammy nominee Seth Glier, a western Massachusetts native, along with Bobby Sweet, David Reed, Terry a la Berry, David Grover, The Beeline Ramblers and The Matchstick Architects. In Williamstown, the performers will include Deb Burns, Norm Burdick, Long Journey, Jeb Barry, Rosin the Beaux, Sarah McNair, Jackie Sedlock, Thomas Marshall, poet Jessica Fisher and other area musicians. All are donating their performances, and proceeds from the concert and t-shirt sales at the Great Barrington concert will go to Stop Handgun Violence (SHV), a Massachusetts-based non-profit committed to the prevention of gun violence through education, public awareness, effective law enforcement and common sense gun laws.
Each of the concerts nationwide will be live-streamed. "We want to bombard YouTube, Facebook, Twitter — and Congress — with song," says Richman.
The Concert Across America to End Gun Violence
Sunday, Sept. 25
Society of the Congregation Church
251 Main St., Great Barrington, MA
2-5 p.m.
First Congregational Church
906 Main St., Williamstown,

Intersection Austerlitz: Fashion, Fabrics And Literary Materials
By Madaline Sparks
This weekend, in Austerlitz, New York, a passport is your ticket for a day of exploring costume, culture, and the art of hat making. And so much more it's hard to believe it's all happening in such a tiny radius.
Nestled in eastern Columbia County, Austerlitz is a village of rural beauty consisting of farms, mountains, valleys, streams and small hamlets, including Spencertown. With an area of less than 50 square miles and a population of well under 2,000 residents, it is extraordinary that three cultural non-profit institutions reside there. Annually, these three organizations, the Edna St. Vincent Millay Society at Steepletop, the Austerlitz Historical Society and the Spencertown Academy Arts Center, collaborate on Intersection Austerlitz featuring a different theme each year to highlight their respective offerings.
The umbrella theme this year is "Costume and Culture: Designs for Life." Exhibits, programs and demonstrations focusing on the innovation, practicality, and creativity found in fashion and fabrics from artistic, historical and literary points of view will be scheduled throughout the day.
Vintage feather trim.
The morning activities start in the art galleries at the Spencertown Academy, with an exhibit called Hats, Hats, and More Hats! Millinery designer Victoria DiNardo will display a collection of hat making materials and all the trimmings to show the step-by-step process of making a custom hat from raw materials to finished product. There will be a selection of vintage hats to try on plus a variety of her new hats for sale. She will also give a hands-on workshop on making hat trims and everyone can make your own head band/mini-fascinator, all materials supplied.
Costumer Sarah Conly will be sharing her retrospective collection of millinery representing 30 years worth of operas produced at the Tanglewood Festival. Online entrepreneur Elizabeth Walters will display, and offer for sale, a large selection of her gorgeous vintage hat trims and feathers dating back to the 1900s.
The very fashionable Edna St. Vincent Millay.
On to Old Austerlitz, a few minutes away by car, where a gourmet box lunch is being served along with a program featuring Phyllis Chapman, who brings the story of noted American poet, abolitionist, and educator Lucy Larcom to life. Chapman illustrates and demonstrates the tasks involved in textile production, the development of mechanization, and the structure of a mill. There will also be demonstrations of the processing of flax into linen, wool carding and spinning, and exhibitions of wool and linen clothing, bedding, artifacts, hand-sewn miniature dresses, undergarments, and hats.
Next up, everyone drives a few minutes up the road to Steepletop for an illustrated lecture: "Publicity, Celebrity, Fashion: Photographing Edna St. Vincent Millay." Sarah Parker, a Lecturer in English at Loughborough University in the UK, will speak about how Millay used fashion and photography to forge an iconic celebrity image. A reception will follow the lecture.
Intersection Austerlitz Presents "Costume and Culture: Designs for Life
Saturday, Sept. 17 from 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m
Passport $35, lunch included. Children under 12 are free and a lunch may be ordered in advance for $6.
Advance tickets are recommended in order to reserve a lunch. Day-of Passports will also be available at each venue; they include access to everything except boxed lunches.

The season opens with SAMCRO's homecoming, which is a bittersweet occasion.
The bitter: Mayor Hale used eminent domain to take Osborn's land and dragoon him into doing construction on the new yuppie settlement Charming Heights. The bitter: The new sheriff in town, Roosevelt, is an incorruptible man of the law and he is going to be on SAMCRO like John Madden on turkducken. The bitter: Prison demonstrated to Clay that he has maybe two years left before he has to step down. The bitter: A purposeless Unser is a hot, forest-dwelling mess.
The sweet: Most of the club is no longer in jail. The sweet: Opie and Lyla are getting hitched. The sweet: Jax and Tara are engaged.
So how does SAMCRO commemorate the occasion? The club uses their first day of freedom/full strength to address two things that are vexing them, i.e. Russians and real estate. By murdering all their Russian business partners (in a sequence not unlike the end of The Godfather), SAMCRO is able to rejigger their arms-distribution deal so they take a bigger cut. And by dumping the bodies on the Charming Heights land, they're able to scare off would-be investors in the hopes of stalling, if not outright killing, the project.

At the opening of the second act, one of these gentlemen leads a spot of community singing in 'Daisy, Daisy', stretching the elasticity of the play so taut it snaps. And what is the coherence in having the protagonist, Arnold, speak lines worthy of an especially straitlaced elder of the Kirk in tones of a spiv who finds himself in charge of variety hall jollifications?
Between them, adapter Neil Bartlett and director Ian Wooldridge have engineered a production that is wholly at odds with the text, despite endless energy and even a range of strong performances. The inspiration involved will no doubt provide a good night out for those who want a panto romp and care nothing for the dilemmas, the pathos, or even the comedy of the original.
The characters are reduced to a gallery of bizarre grotesques who cavort and giggle under a grandiose set of cardboard drapes, with a painted backcloth featuring some of Edinburgh's classical monuments surrounding a Georgian doorway from the New Town. Tony Cownie (Alan) and Pauline Knowles (Georgette) tumble and grimace like the servants from a children's show, while Sharon Small as Arnold's future wife Agnes is allowed to bring to the character only the sugary sentiments of a gormless Cinderella.
Her suitor Horace (Paul Nivison) is a flannelled fool with the nous of a Bertie Wooster, and that leaves John Bett, as Arnold, stranded in the incongruous role of Master of Ceremonies. In that position, he orchestrates the piece, entering to the strains of a My Fair Lady number, executing a soft-shoe shuffle, exiting to a Harry Lauder refrain and all the time radiating the plastic charm of a thorough professional whose only care is to keep the punters giggling. The demands of that stance do not allow him to investigate the uncertainties or the misogyny of the role Moliere created.
Presumably Neil Bartlett's translation was in the Queen's English, but it has been ludicrously Scottified for comic effect by the insertion of the odd word in Lallans of a style your douce Edinburgh bourgeoise would never have employed. The production does as little for the use of Scots as it does for poor old Moliere.

Stress urinary incontinence affects millions of women in the United States and has substantial negative effects on quality of life. There is currently no effective preventive or medical option for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) other than surgical elevation of the urethra with sutures or a synthetic sling. Our current grant has confirmed that treatment with estrogen increase the chances of incontinence in our animal model of simulated birth trauma. The mechanisms underlying this increase in incontinence appeared to include perturbations of urethral alpha adrenergic receptor expression, changes in expression of the cellular messengers RhoA, ROCK-I, ROCK-II, and phosphorylated myosin light chain (pMLC), and reduction in urethral collagen I and elastic fiber content. In an attempt to develop preventive measures for SUI, we noted that early administration of growth hormone significantly reduced the incontinence rate in our animal model. Preservation of elastic and collagen fibers in the urethra was the factor most strongly associated with reduction of incontinence. Since the neuromuscular contributions to continence have already been extensively studied, in this renewal application we propose to study the contribution of the extracellular collagen and elastic fibers to the normal function of the urethra. For these studies we will use living cell/tissue imaging and molecular biology technique. In addition, we will test a safe and inexpensive strategy to prevent incontinence as well as develop a long-term, chronic incontinence model to test treatment options. Our goal is to translate the knowledge obtained in our laboratory to clinical applications for women suffering from SUI.
Urinary leakage with coughing, sneezing or exercise (aka stress urinary incontinence, SUI) is a common medical problem in middle-aged and older women. In our current study, we determined that disruption of elastic and collagen fibers in the urethra is strongly associated with urine leakage in an animal model of SUI. This grant proposal will study means to stop birth-trauma mediated disruption of collagen and elastic fibers before it takes place and/or enhance repair of these fibers.

Yes, you can have multiple warehouses on your Neto website.
Convered in this article:
Go to Products > Warehouses / Dropshippers > View All Warehouses / Dropshippers
A SKU can be assigned to multiple warehouses and have different stock quantities in each warehouse. To enter the stock into multiple warehouses, go to Products > View All Products and select a product. Then scroll down to the Stock Control section.
For example you can have one SKU that has stock in 3 warehouses:
If you have multiple warehouses setup, the combined stock qty in each warehouse, less any unpicked or committed orders, will become your available quantity. This is the quantity available for customers to order on your web shop.
For example, if you have 19 in warehouse stock and you have 5 on new orders then your total available stock will be 14 (19-5).
Store Quantity (qty available) = Combined Physical Stock In Warehouses - Unpicked Orders (includes backorders)
A product on order is committed when it is in any of the following status:
You can uncommit products that are on orders by moving the related orders to the Uncommitted status. This is ideal when a customer has placed an order that they do not want shipped until a date in the future. This will allow you to free up the stock for other orders.
There are 4 ways to adjust stock numbers for a product:
In all cases the number you enter less the qty committed on incomplete orders will become your new stock qty.
Note: if you are using a Neto compatible accounting or inventory management system then your stock quantity will come up from that application and will be adjusted in Neto periodically.
Yes, however, this requires custom programming. Please contact us for a quote.

Principles of Project Finance
This introduction for practitioners offers a balanced view of project financing, integrating legal, contractual, scheduling, and other areas that participate in large multiparty projects, large single-asset purchases, and broad-based financing programs for fleets of assets. It mixes theories and case studies but avoids becoming too oriented toward applications in any one particular industry. It focuses on the concepts and techniques required by project finance people without being overly academic or beset by case studies. The author, who has a legal background, recognizes that some legal information is necessary, but he doesn't attempt to write a law book.Project Finance refers to the techniques of financing projects which are dependent on cash flows for repayment, as defined by the contractual relationships within each project. By their very nature, these types of projects rely on a large number of integrated contractual arrangements for successful completion and operation. Project finance is an element within the larger field of project management. Many organizations around the world utilize project management to enable innovative processes, to plan, organize, and control strategic initiatives, to monitor enterprise performance, to analyze significant deviations, and to forecast their impact on the organization and project(s). Project management can be found in many industries today, from construction and information systems to healthcare, financial services, education, and training.Key Features:-A comprehensive and authoritative guide to the theory and practice of project finance.-An international scope, covering projects in both the developed and developing worlds.-The book describes and explains: -Sources of project finance. -Typical commercial contracts (such as those for construction of the project and sale of its product or services) and their impact on the project finance structure. -Project finance risk assessment from the points of view of lenders, investors, and other project parties. -Structuring the project finance debt. -The key issues in negotiating a project finance debt facility.-Extensive glossary and cross-referencing.-No prior knowledge of project finance or financing techniques is assumed.

Licensed Psychologist

Addictions are often the sign of underlying emotional issues that have not been addressed. Many people choose to self-medicate rather than address their emotional issues, or, while they may be willing to address the emotional issues, they do not understand their emotions, and thus resort to substance use/abuse. If you discover the factors influencing that decision, you stand a better chance of working out of your addiction.

Hi Joe,
This isn't great, and I promise to send a better image this summer, but here
is Thai Brass sporting.

I have an idea that might work out well and not cost us anything,
except some time - probably mine! I can set up a web site on
homestead.com and park the images there and then develop some kind of
a web page to use to view the images. That way the images would be
available to all who want to study them.
So, how about a hosta sport support group this summer! If you see a
hosta sporting, lets get an image of it, either from a digital camera,
or scan a print or slide, and then we can store them on homestead.com,
or we can put them on one of Bob's hosta sites. I do believe there
should be some reasonable limitations to the size of the images -
certainly nothing over 100K.

The Monetary-Fiscal Mix: Long-Run Implications
The long-run dynamics of public deficits and debt are modeled, assuming that public debt competes with capital for limited private savings. The interest costs of the debt are endogenously determined in this market, and the deficit in other budget transactions is a constant fraction of Gross National Product. Simulations with parameter values suggested by recent United States experience show the likelihood of unstable paths, along which debt grows faster than GNP indefinitely.

Old Trafford welcomes back a familiar face on Tuesday when fans' favourite Ole Gunnar Solksjaer returns to the Theatre of Dreams for the first time with his Cardiff side, and the Norwegian can expect a rapturous reception.
The 'Baby-faced assassin' scored 126 times in 366 appearances for the club, and earned the reputation as the 'super-sub' for his remarkable predatory instincts for coming off the bench to score late goals, the most famous of which, came in injury time in the 1999 Champions League Final, when Solksjaer scored the winner to complete a stunning comeback and win United the treble. After replacing Malky Mackay earlier this month, Solksjaer's appointment invites comparisons that he can take up that role again and rescue Cardiff, like he did so many times for United during his playing days.
The Norwegian faces a tough task to save Cardiff from the drop though, and is yet to register any points in the league for his new club, leaving Cardiff bottom of the league on goal difference, and despite two victories in the FA Cup against Newcastle and more recently, Bolton at the weekend, Solksjaer will be desperate to get some points, sooner rather than later. Cardiff secured a point when the sides met earlier in the season and any other season, a trip to Old Trafford would represent a daunting prospect, but it is no secret that David Moyes' side have struggled this season, especially at home, having only won five of eleven home league games, and losing four in the process, and sit seventh in the league, while a Capital One Cup exit to Sunderland, has compiled further misery and pressure on David Moyes.
Yet, United have signed a saviour of their own this week, and will be buoyed by pulling off the transfer of Juan Mata, who joins from Chelsea, for a record fee of £37.1 million, as United bid to initiate a second-half of the season revival, pinning their hopes on the Spaniard to provide a touch of class and inject some creativity into the side. However, it remains to be seen, whether Mata will be involved in Tuesday's game, despite David Moyes' hopes that he would be available for a game, that either way, will be sure not be short of talking points.
KICK-OFF: Tuesday, 7.45pm
Cardiff 2 (Campbell, Kim) Manchester United 2 (Rooney, Evra), Premier League, November 2013
Manchester United 4 (Houston, Macari, McIllroy, Pearson) Cardiff 0, Division Two, March 1975
Cardiff 0 Manchester United 1 (Daly), Division Two, August 1974
Victory would make Manchester United the first club to earn 1,000 points at home in the Premier League - they currently stand on 998.
Thirty seven points from 22 matches is the lowest total United have mustered in any previous Premier League season at this stage.
United have already lost seven league games, a tally they have only previous exceeded in two Premier League seasons (they lost nine times in 2001-02 and 2003-04).
Cardiff have won none and lost six of their last eight Premier League away games.
Cardiff have scored 35% of their goals via headers - the highest proportion in the Premier League.
Five of Cardiff striker Frazier Campbell's last six league goals have come against Manchester United or Manchester City, and 42% of his overall total Premier League strikes have been against those two teams.
Manchester United to win: 1.27
Cardiff to win: 16.5
Draw: 6.4
