The wrestling season is still young, but as we approach the New Year, we have started to get an idea of the individuals/teams on the rise.
Valley West beat Coughlin in a Division I dual despite forfeiting two weights. The young, feisty Tunkhannock squad has a new coach in Bob Hegedty and opened its Division II slate with a 54-19 over Meyers this past Saturday. Also in Division II, Hanover Area scored a nine-point victory over Wyoming Area.
Parody, it seems, is alive and well.
Pittston Area has jumped out to a 2-0 record in Division I with wins against Berwick and Crestwood. The Patriots' next two division duals come against Coughlin (Jan. 9) and Valley West (Jan. 12). That will give us an idea of where they stand.
As for the WVC individuals, here are three grapplers worth watching as we approach 2013.
Kris Roccograndi (Dallas, 170, 13-1)
Roccograndi went 4-0 at Saturday's Berwick Duals, including a 12-second pin. The senior has not lost since the season-opening Brian Bealer Memorial Bear Duals on Dec. 8. As of Dec. 19, he was the state's 22nd ranked Class AAA wrestler (papowerwrestling.com).
Kevin Laubach (Berwick, 145, 12-0)
Laubach has 11 pins in 12 matches, with seven of those pins coming in 1:30 or less. And while many of those wins have against overmatched foes, Laubach did score an 11-6 decision win against Red Lion's Austin Holloway on Dec. 15. Last season, Holloway qualified for the South Central AAA regional.
Matt Hammerstone (Crestwood, 152, 8-0)
Hammerstone entered the 2012-13 with great expectations. A two-time regional wualifier, Hammerstone is seeking his first state tournament berth. Not only does Hammerstone expects to qualify for states, he expects to leave Hershey with a medal. He scored a 12-2 major decision over Pittston Area's Justin Wilk in a Division II dual meet this past Friday, a dominant performance against one of the area's top wrestlers. He also owns a win over Hughesville's Matt Barnes, a reining PIAA runner-up.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Attempting to fishless cycle, am I doing this right?
Attempting to fishless cycle, am I doing this right? I have a 20 gallon hexagonal tank and have been in the process of setting it up and aquiring pieces for it for about a month and have had water (treated to remove chlorine and chloromine), gravel, a few fake plants, filter and heater in it for about two weeks. I also bought something called Start Zyme by Jungle which said it was used to stablilize the benifical bacteria in a new tank. I also have the API freshwater master test kit. My readings are pH: 7.6, Nitrate 0, Nitrite 0, but my ammonia is 4.0 ppm! Could the Start Zyme be the cause of such a high ammonia level? I've been testing water for about a week and there has been no change and the above conditions have remained steady. I want to attempt to establish my tank without harming any innocent fish in the process. I'm not sure I'm doing this right though. What should my next course of action be? Also, when I do pick fish to put in the tank what would some reccomendations be? I don't really want to mess around with the pH as I've heard so long as the pH is steady fish can adapt to a higher pH and attempting to mess with the chemistry can spell disaster for the fish. |
I have never used Start Zyme but when i do fishless cycles. i usually feed my tank flakes or something. usually wait till the ammonia gets about 5ppm. and then watch it as it spikes in nitrites then spikes in nitrates. until then you just have to wait. as for your fish, it is easier to post a fish wish list. that way the members on the forums can help you pick. if you have high hard water then i suggest something more in that area. like-wise soft water. its just easier. |
I had similar experience with using tetra safe start. My ammonia levels from my test kit were elevated for 2 weeks after adding the product. I believe that it was on the second or third day I started to get nitrate readings. 2 weeks later my nitrites spiked, ammonia was still reading same level ( which I think had been turned to ammonium since the live meter in the tank was not picking anything up but the liquid test did) and my nitrate levels had been elevated. After doing some water changes ammonia was 0 nitrite was 0 and nitrates at 20. As said above you should see ammonia spike followed by nitrite spike, and then nitrates. As long as there are no fish in the tank I would allow things to take its course and monitor your parameters allowing the tank to cycle. I am sure others will have more insight to give you:-) |
We also need to consider the tap water. Have you tested it for ammonia? Also for nitrite and nitrate, just to know. And what is the pH and hardness of the tap water? The latter you can find out from the water supply people, they may have a website with water quality/data posted. Knowing this to help us determined what may occur biologically and then suitable fish possibilities are easier to determine. Many fish are somewhat adaptable, some are not. We can sort this out once we have the afore-mentioned info. And, welcome to TFK forum. Nice to have you with us.:-) Byron. |
I actually just tested my tap water and my ammonia levels are 2.0 ppm. So that is most definatly the problem. What are my options? or rather what is the cheapest but most effective way of eliminating ammonia in tap water? I get a flat reading of zero on Nitrates and Nitrites for my tap and my pH of 7.6 is also the same as in my tank. |
First on the ammonia and cycling. You need a source of ammonia to start the cycle; many use some fish flake food, just a bit, added every day. The ammonia in the tap water may work here, I'm not sure as I have never had this and I always cycle with live plants. The Jungle Start Zyme I am not familiar with; their website says it contains bacteria to jump-start the cycling, and they also say it breaks down sludge. The latter process will produce ammonia. I am not one who recommends messing with the natural bacteria in aquaria. Once the tank is established, the bacteria needed to break down organics will be there. I have no issue with pure bacterial supplements, though I cannot say if this one is true to its claim. I do know that Seachem's Stability and Tetra's Safe Start are both 100% live bacteria, and they do work to help start (not replace) the nitrifying cycle. As for the ammonia in the tap water, with each water change you will need a conditioner that detoxifies ammonia. Some do, but not all; they will say this on the label. This will handle the initial influx of ammonia, and by the time the conditioner has exhaused itself (around 24 hours it will cease to be effective) the bacteria will have multiplied to handle things. Your pH will work for many fish, but I still would like to know the hardness as this will tell us if the pH is likely to lower over time. The hardness is important for fish too, so we do need to find this out. Your water supply people will have this; no point wasting money on a hardness test that you will only use once. |
Considering the information I've been given would it just be better to drain the tank and start again without the Start Zyme and add a few live plants? I did just test my water again and while my pH and Ammonia are still the same (7.6 and 4.0, respectively) I now have a Nitrite and Nitrate reading. My Nitrite is 2.0ppm and my Nitrate is 5.0 ppm. Shouldn't my Ammonia levels be dropping now that In have a No2 and No3 reading?? I also checked my city's website and it say our water here is "moderatly soft" at between 4-6 grains or 70-120 mg per liter. |
You can add live plants at any time. The hardness numbers do indeed indicate very soft to soft water. This means the pH once the tank is established should lower naturally. Soft water fish would be the best choice. You have plenty of options from among the characins, cyprinids, catfish; just keep the tank size in mind. Most of these are shoaling fish that require groups. There are many "dwarf" species which will allow more fish in your tank for a most active or interesting display. |

A West Toledo man who authorities said stabbed a man four times Sunday during an argument was arraigned yesterday in Toledo Municipal Court.
Willie Hightower, 48, of 5553 Lewis Ave., who was charged with felonious assault, was being held in the Lucas County jail in lieu of a $75,000 bond.
Hightower and Ronald Hendrick, whose age was unavailable, of 736 Gramercy Ave., were with friends at an apartment in the 5500 block of Lewis Avenue about 3:25 a.m. when the two began to argue and Hightower stabbed Mr. Hendrick twice in the chest, once in the neck, and once in the back, police said.
Hightower left the scene and was arrested later. Mr. Hendrick was taken to Toledo Hospital, where a nursing supervisor said there was no patient by that name.

Hollywood LOVES a sequel. And a remake. And an adaptation. And basically anything that will make a lot of money. Sometimes it's just a direct-to-video follow-up, sometimes it's a critically acclaimed improvement on the first film. It's become pretty hard to find a movie that doesn't have a sequel at least in the works, so it's surprising to discover a classic that hasn't been followed up on.
I'm typically one of those people who walks around complaining that things aren't original enough anymore and we should stop rehashing the same old ideas. And I still stand by that, but I think if we are going to make a sequel for everything, let's make sequels for the movies that really call for the sequel treatment. You know, the movies you watch ten or twenty years later and think, "Wow, I wonder what happened to those characters after that." Movies that leave some questions unanswered or give characters traumatic experiences without letting us know how it affects them later in life. Movies that leave us with the possibility of following up years later.
So that's where this list comes in. These are eleven movies that still haven't gotten sequels but could really use them. Warning: Some spoilers await you.
1. You've Got Mail
Whenever this movie is on TV (so twice a day), I always think about how nowadays Fox Books would probably be in just as much danger as The Shop Around the Corner was in 1998. In the sequel, Meg Ryan would have gotten into the e-book business and would exact revenge on her now-husband Tom Hanks by putting his bookstore out of business. Also they wouldn't be using AOL dial-up anymore.
2. Inception
There's been talk here and there about a sequel to this blockbuster ever since it came out, but nothing concrete seems to be happening yet, which is surprising considering what a success it was. The first movie was left kind of open-ended, what with that goddamn top not falling over before the credits, so there's potential there. Also I just want to hear more of that BWARR sound.
3. Spice World
The Spice Girls were my everything in the '90s, so obviously I'll never object to a reunion. Their performance at the Olympics was like the second coming of Jesus for me. The girls already had a musical based on their songs that closed after negative reviews, but I still think they need another movie. Especially now that David Beckham can have a cameo.
4. Groundhog Day
How's this for a twist? Bill Murray thinks his endless loop of todays is over, but then after finally getting a tomorrow, he wakes up the day after that and it's back to Groundhog Day. Psych! Okay, so maybe that's a little mean. I'd still watch it, though.
5. Panic Room
So Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart make it out of their home invasion alive. But how do you adjust after something like that? You get an even fancier panic room. Maybe one with a moat around it filled with sharks. Or it could play Jodie Foster's Golden Globes speech around the house on a loop to drive the burglars insane. The crazier, the better.

Problem with my Elbow (Weightlifter)09/06/2011 |
dear expert,hi wish u good health.I`m 20 years old man besides I`m a body builder one day I chnaged my routine with triceps exercise I started with Triceps extension Usually its the third i noticed a little of strange feeling in between the lower triceps and the elbow.
I spent 3 weeks with different treatment hot water , cold towels , creams and anti inflammation drugs sure non steroids so nothing changed now I Need Ur advice
forgot I cut exercises effect that place or at least lower the weight .I took a rest for 4 days with massaging the area .
thankful rero
It sounds as though you are still experiencing symptoms even with taking time off and using heat, cold, and anti-inflammatories without effect, if I read your question correctly.
Does the strange feeling include pain or numbness and tingling? How much are these symptoms impacting your daily routine? If you are unable to continue with your weightlifting workout with all the above treatments, I would recommend a visit to your local sports medicine health care provider for a thorough evaluation and institution of a treatment plan to get you back to the activities you enjoy. Good Luck!

Sanchez will be the starting QB next season and have a bounce back year that includes us returning to the playoffs.
Sanchez will be the starting QB next season and have a bounce back year that includes us returning to the playoffs.
Couldn't we just have 1 kick a$$ year for our team!
Sanchez has a huge opportunity to go out this season on a positive note. I just want to see fight in the kid, he should be beyond disappointment, he's got to be angry, he's got to show anger, go out with a chip on your shoulder. The Titan game was disappointing, he had a huge opportunity then to make a statement. At least this will be Edwards' third game where he should be healthy and a little more integrated in the offense. My guess is Keller could be back this week. I'm a Sanchez supporter, but he's got to show something starting this Sunday.
We'll see. Sanchez played great against the Bills in week 1 but he also had Santonio Holmes and Stephen Hill both healthy.
NFL is all about the WR's and Tight Ends. For every Brady, Bress and Manning you have studs like Gronk, Graham and Demariyous Thomas and Eric Decker constantly getting open just about every play. No coincidence the years we went to back2back AFCG we had Braylon Edwards, Healthy Keller, Tone and Cotchery.
I couldn't agree with you more, it's what I've been saying all year. Sanchez has had rotating players in and out of the line-up every week all year long. Sanchez deserves some of the blame, he has regressed, but the majority of that regression is the roster he has had to play with due to injuries with key players at the skill positions.
I've been patient for four years and right now I don't care in Sanchez throws for 400 yards and 6 TDs this week. This team needs to bring in a legitimate starting QB (Flynn) and/or a rookie taken somewhere in the top 40 picks to make him earn every single snap he takes going forward. This crap where there is no accountability because the team has been afraid to play any of his backups is bull crap.
I read it pretty clearly. You wanna see him show that he bounced back, show some fight. Get angry.
What I'm saying is, he had all season plus a 2nd chance to do that and failed. What good does it do if he does that the final game of the season with nothing on the line? It's too little too late.
I'm on board with the criticism of the Titans game, but his supporting cast was no different than any other game this year, with exception of Edwards signing on that week.
Look, he is a QB that has struggled, I'm saying his hand dealt was complete **** all year, and it contributed to his problems, too few acknowledge this, and we can make comparisons with his play to other better known QBs in Rivers and even Eli who have had very poor seasons by their standards.
AGREED norv as OC a New GM bring in FRESH talent the D remains tops and Sanchez whom i know makes bad decisions the whole Tebow thing FD him up he needs an OC that lets him toss it around and we need another Back and WR to help us Red zone bell-cow style...Tebow refused to play last two games says a lot about him and his work ethic you would think the guy who always wants the rock and make plays wanted nothing but to be traded out ASAP...Sanchez is here for another year thats that
New OC running a no huddle up tempo big play O can help Sanchez greatly just has to learn to throw the ball away and not try to be tony romo....and we need a couple cheap veterans whom can still play and bring in a NEW attitude to this lost team...Im excited for this season to over and move on but the offseason is going to be motr rxciting imo
Yep knew it at the start of the season the suckchez fans are out already saying year 5 and he will get it. Unfreaken believable
I want Sanchez to do well also. I also don't believe that he doesn't care or isn't a hard worker. The injuries he has had to deal with would probably have some effect on most QBs. The thing is though, in comparison, although both Rivers and Eli have had bad years by their standards, they still had better completion percentages than Sanchez (among other things); that also includes 2010 when he had a solid supporting cast.
For the most part, he hasn't shown himself to be an accurate QB. His completion percentage has always been below average and at best, average to slightly above average in the playoffs; all while not being asked to do much (unlike someone like Luck). When I see guys like Wilson and RGIII, two rookies, who like Sanchez in his rookie year, have the support of a running game and solid defense are more efficient and less mistake prone than Sanchez was as a rookie. Maybe the reason lies in the fact that Sanchez had limited experience as a starting QB in college. I don't know.
In order to make a definitive leap, his decision making and accuracy must improve. Although he doesn't have a weak arm, he doesn't have the arm strength to compensate for his late reads.
You said exactly what MDL said you said. Now you're spinning it.
You made the Buffalo game sound like an opportunity for Sanchez to "bounce back" as if will be meaningful other than it being a meaningless game at the end of the season against a meaningless team. It will be about as meaningful as a pre-season game. Maybe even less than that.
Ray Ray, I love your positivity. Lord knows this board needs more of that. But Sanchez is damaged goods beyond repair. You must see this. I guess I'm glad he's starting over Tebow. But I gotta be honest that I don't want to see him do well. I'm not a hater...I just don't want any false hope for next year. Sanchez can't start another game for this franchise. His margin of error would be 0%. Met Life would boo him mercilessly at his first completion. The vampires in the NY media would continue to portray the team as a circus and the lazy so called analysts at ESPN would run with it.
This franchise needs a fresh start.

A comment by Marcus Frödin pointed me to this excellent article by Ben Horowitz, that I somehow missed when it came out.
Ben offers some great advice on how to select the right kind of people to join your company, particularly when it comes to salespeople:
People who view the world through the me prism might describe a prior company's failure in an interview as follows: "My last job was my e-commerce play. I felt that it was important to round out my resume." Note the use of "my" to personalize the company in a way that it's unlikely that anyone else at the company would agree with. In fact, the other employees in the company might even be offended by this usage. People with the right kind of ambition would not likely use the word "play" to describe their effort to work as a team to build something substantial. Finally, people who use the "me" prism find it natural and obvious to speak in terms of "building out my resume" while people who use the "team" prism find such phrases to be somewhat uncomfortable and awkward, because they clearly indicate an individual goal which is separate from the team goal.
Throughout our interview process, candidates would take sole credit for landing extremely large deals, achieving impressive goals, and generating company success. Invariably, the candidates who claimed the most credit for deals would have the most difficult time describing the details of how the deal was actually won and orchestrated. During reference checks, others involved in the deals would tell a much different story.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
"At first, this album from alto sax player Jon Irabagon seemed dispiritingly safe and like it could have been recorded any time in the last half-century. But by the end, its sheer musicality had won me over. Irabagon makes a distinctive sound, ranging from harsh multiphonics to a mellifluous expressivity not far removed from Cannonball Adderley." -Telegraph
Album Reviews:
Down Beat (p.73) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e commands all the conventions of late bebop with a clean and unforced confidence, principally on alto saxophone."
JazzTimes (p.63) - "For someone of Irabagon's skills, the sky's the limit. But this firmly grounded version of the young saxophonist sets the bar high."
Album Notes
Personnel: Jon Irabagon (alto saxophone); Kenny Barron (piano); Victor Lewis (drums).
Audio Mixer: Rudy Van Gelder.
Jon Irabagon's third recording as a leader, aside from his duties with Most Other People Do the Killing, is a refined, straight-ahead jazz effort that locks into his potential as a post-to-neo-bop player with an original sound on his alto sax. Joining the young man is a dream-team rhythm section of pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Rufus Reid, and drummer Victor Lewis, as cohesive and professional a trio as is available in current jazz circles. With slightly soured shadings à la Jackie McLean, Irabagon and his group steam through these original compositions straight out of the Blue Note/Prestige label bag of modern jazz established in the '50s and '60s, updated but not taken in contemporary or trendy contexts. The lyrical flow of Irabagon's horn is easy to enjoy, yet there's a bit of tension and release that identifies his personal sound. After all, he did not win the prestigious Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition based on playing fakebook tunes, or copying his idols. Irabagon's consistency is heard during the bluesy, modal "January Dream," which sounds like an extension of Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti"; the good swinger "The Observer," where he proves quite adept at building a solo; Gigi Gryce's beautiful ballad "Infant's Song," initially in accord with Reid's bass; or "Makai & Tacoma," which could easily be flanked alongside the standard "Secret Love." The change-ups include the pensive, soulful, midtempo waltz "Acceptance," the loose bop version of Tom McIntosh's "Cup Bearers," and the circular, cascading piano of Barron cuing a pretty, light funk on top of "Closing Arguments." Trumpeter Nicholas Payton joins in on the hip, contemporary, caravan beat of "Joy's Secret" favorably comparable to a typical Woody Shaw tune, while the hard bopper "Big Jim's Twins" hearkens back to the days of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, as Irabagon and Payton play in perfect unison, happily swinging until daybreak. Finally, there's a languorous duet with pianist Bertha Hope on her husband Elmo Hope's "Barfly." Those expecting the wildly progressive approach of Irabagon's previous outings, or music similar to MOPDTK, should be aware of the conscious change that affects this repertoire. Regardless of personal preferences, many should be pleased at how Irabagon and his crack band expertly maneuver though this tasteful set of swinging mainstream jazz originals. ~ Michael G. Nastos

Last week, members of Congress sent letters to the Securities and Exchange Commission, encouraging them to reconsider rules related to the initial public offering (IPO) process, and to adopt rules relating to conflict minerals and resource extraction.
IPO Process
In a June 19 letter to the SEC, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (the Committee) put pressure on the SEC to take a closer look at the IPO process and consider whether current rules governing the IPO process suffer "substantial flaws." The Committee expressed concern that underwriters are able to "dictate" the price of an IPO "while only indirectly considering market supply-and-demand in their price evaluation."
The Committee also expressed concern that underwriters' ability to provide information to institutional clients that is not available to the general public disadvantages individual investors. The letter cites the Facebook IPO as an example of a situation where certain institutional investors received information not available to the general public, resulting in losses to individual investors. The Committee asked the SEC to consider the communications restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules thereunder and whether these rules provide institutional investors with an informational advantage.
The letter also urges consideration of market-based IPO pricing, noting that shares are frequently undervalued in IPOs while substantial underwriting fees are imposed, to the disadvantage of new public companies. The Committee stated that this process "places a direct drag on economic growth" and that a market-based approach would lower the cost of capital formation and eventually increase the size of domestic capital markets. The letter suggests a "Dutch Auction" approach to IPO pricing, where bids determine the price the market is willing to pay for shares, as a market-based alternative to the current process.
The Committee requested information collected by the SEC relating to IPO pricing and allocation of shares and a response to the numerous questions posed throughout the letter by July 3.

Conflict Minerals
In a June 22 letter to the SEC, 58 members of Congress urged the SEC to vote on final rules to implement Sections 1502 and 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which require public companies to make disclosures relating to the use of conflict minerals and payments for extraction of resources. The SEC did not meet the April 17, 2011 statutory deadline for adoption of final rules, and the comment period for the proposed rules closed over one year ago. These Congressmen expressed concern that a delay in rulemaking would create a risk to investors and undermine efforts to create transparency in the mining and natural resource extraction industries. They requested an SEC vote on final rules by July 1 or a response by June 29 setting a definitive date for the vote.

"Big deal," you might say, under improbably specific circumstances, "I launch million-dollar celebrity fragrance brands every week." Just a second there, asshole: Bieber's is the biggest celebrity fragrance launch in history. The kid puffs stink on ladies to the tune of three million bucks, pal. If Someday keeps up the momentum, it could be the biggest-selling fragrance of 2011. So screw you, hypothetical guy who wasn't impressed by this.
ROBBIE WILLIAMS had to cancel a Take That show in Denmark last week after becoming "violently ill" with food poisoning. He managed to make a show in Amsterdam two days later, so I guess my PRAYER ALTERT !! didn't work on that one.

Vestiges on the old harbour…a bit of history
Berville, a stop for ships
From 1812, the channel of the since 1760 which followed the coast north of the estuary moved south and became again a stop for ships from Rouen, who had expected a favourable wind and tide.
The square sails of freedom
The place of sails and freedom marks the location of the first ascent of the Seine by the largest yachts in the world. In the last century, the containement of the Seine allowed boats to go back to Rouen. Today, during the Armada sailing ships departed from this city and follow the meanders of the Seine to the estuary.
Vestiges of the old ferry Berville-le-hode
From 1932, a ferry allowed passengers and vehicules between Berville ans Hode to cross on the north bank of the Seine, we can see today in the footsteps of the old pier hode, who was arrested in 1959, when the bridge of Tancarville was built.

News Release
New ladder fire truck downtown
The Bellevue Fire Department will be better equipped to respond to fires and other emergencies in the growing downtown core with the addition of a ladder truck at Fire Station 1. A dedication and ribbon-cutting is set for Saturday, Nov. 1, 11 a.m. at the station, 766 Bellevue Way SE.
Equipped, as one would expect, with a telescoping ladder that facilitates firefighting on tall buildings, the ladder truck is being transferred from Station 7 at Wilburton. The truck, which only had a partial crew at the other station, will have a full crew, with the number of firefighters at Station 1 going from seven to 11.
The addition of the ladder company was made possible after the City Council last year approved hiring eight new firefighters. The Council's action was in response to the rapid growth the city has experienced in the central downtown business area and the emerging public safety needs there. The Council also approved six new police officer positions.
The ladder truck crew will specialize in firefighting and rescue emergencies. However, the cross-trained firefighters can also respond on medical calls.
Local officials will speak at the brief ceremony. Refreshments and a cake-cutting will follow the ceremony.

Good recipes and fond memories of Baltes restaurant fill cookbook
FRENCHTOWN - Dorie Baltes looks through some cookbooks, recalling how she turned down requests for recipes like Watergate Salad, Pickled Eggs and Stuffed Peppers.
"Customers came up and asked for recipes," says the manager, head cook and jack of all trades at the former Baltes Restaurant. "I refused those requests, politely telling them everything would be in my cookbook."
The project took nearly 20 years to complete, but the spiral-bound "Recipes and Memories of Baltes Restaurant" debuted just before the holiday season.
Her three daughters - the late Kathy Hemmelgarn, Jayne Baltes and Holly Keiser - spent years encouraging the ambitious project.
"Kathy wanted this book and she never stopped pushing," Baltes says with a sigh. "That's why it's dedicated in her memory."
Hemmelgarn of Burkettsville, who worked at her mother's restaurant most weekends, died several years ago following a sudden illness.
"I guess working on the book she wanted so badly became my therapy," Baltes says. "The whole family pitched in to turn her dream into reality."
Four hundred recipes and years of remembrances are sandwiched between the covers.
Her husband, Jimmy, purchased a combination gas station, grocery store and bar in 1950, the year before he and the former Dorie Siefring of Wendelin married. The business was located across the road from the Crystal Ballroom, which his family owned and operated.
Things began to change after the wedding, with sandwiches and then meals added for the convenience of customers.
The grocery store and gas pump disappeared as the restaurant portion of the business continued to grow. A large dining room became the first of several additions over the years.
Back in the late 1950s, the restaurant was open seven days and nights each week. It served as a hangout for area farmers on weeknights, teenagers on Fridays and Crystal Ballroom fans on Saturdays. The traditional Sunday smorgasbord began in 1960 after yet another addition.
People flocked to the restaurant, located along state Route 185 in Frenchtown, and waited in line for down-home comfort food like roast beef, fried chicken, "real" mashed potatoes, buttered noodles and an array of homemade desserts, Baltes says.
"It was hard to get away from work," she recalls. "We lived in an attached apartment, which made going back and forth no problem whatsoever. There were good and bad points to being so close.
The three girls grew up at the restaurant. Holly, the youngest, frequently pedaled her tricycle from table to table talking to guests while her sisters did various chores.
Private parties and gatherings filled the restaurant on weekdays, with the business open to the public on weekends and holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"I used to make pickled eggs by the case and 50 loaves of bakery bread went into my dressing," she says. "It took a thousand cabbage rolls and a thousand stuffed peppers most weeks. I made them as well as soups, salads and desserts during the week between private parties. You had to be organized and have good help."
Mother Nature occasionally threw a wrench into the works. Without power and meals to prepare, the kitchen crew fired up the gas stove instead of relying on electric appliances. Pan-fried chicken replaced deep-fried for the night.
"We could not make coffee because there was no room on the gas stove," Baltes says. "Guests didn't complain; in fact, they thought it was fun having the whole place aglow with candlelight."
The cookbook contains many humorous vignettes about her and Jimmy, who managed the bar and played drums in his own band. However, there is nothing funny about one incident that occurred in the early 1970s.
Fire broke out after hours near a television set in the bar and gutted the interior one month before Thanksgiving. The owners vowed the restaurant would be open for turkey dinners with all the trimmings. Contractors worked day and night to accomplish what some considered an impossible task. Baltes made sure the crew was well fed, serving up hearty meals several times a day.
The couple sold the restaurant in 1987, and she enjoyed her first vacation in 37 years. The new owners eventually closed the establishment.
"I think Kathy would really enjoy the book," she says wistfully. "However, she would have laughed upon learning the 800 recipes I compiled had to be cut down to 400. Some people claim the second cookbook is waiting in the wings, but I'm not convinced. Putting out a cookbook in the first place is something I did for Kathy."
The family plans to use proceeds from the book sale to plant trees. One has been placed at Burkettsville Community Park, where Hemmelgarn was as avid supporter and committee member, and others will be added to the landscape at the Versailles Public Library, where Hemmelgarn spent her noontime lunches reading.

Mrs. Heth was entertaining a lunch-party of seven ladies, her contemporaries, at two o'clock this day.
It never seemed to me that entertaining children was your forte.
They are entertaining a good deal—a judicious sprinkling of the fashionable and the literary.
late 15c., "to keep up, maintain, to keep (someone) in a certain frame of mind," from Middle French entretenir (12c.), from Old French entretenir "hold together, stick together, support," from entre- "among" (from Latin inter; see inter-) + tenir "to hold" (from Latin tenere; see tenet).
Sense of "have a guest" is late 15c.; that of "amuse" is 1620s. Meaning "to allow (something) to consideration" (of opinions, notions, etc.) is 1610s. Related: Entertained; entertaining.
Entertainments, "feasts," were sometimes connected with a public festival (Deut. 16:11, 14), and accompanied by offerings (1 Sam. 9:13), in token of alliances (Gen. 26:30); sometimes in connection with domestic or social events, as at the weaning of children (Gen. 21:8), at weddings (Gen. 29:22; John 2:1), on birth-days (Matt. 14:6), at the time of sheep-shearing (2 Sam. 13:23), and of vintage (Judg. 9:27), and at funerals (2 Sam. 3:35; Jer. 16:7). The guests were invited by servants (Prov. 9:3; Matt. 22:3), who assigned them their respective places (1 Sam. 9:22; Luke 14:8; Mark 12:39). Like portions were sent by the master to each guest (1 Sam. 1:4; 2 Sam. 6:19), except when special honour was intended, when the portion was increased (Gen. 43:34). The Israelites were forbidden to attend heathenish sacrificial entertainments (Ex. 34:15), because these were in honour of false gods, and because at such feast they would be liable to partake of unclean flesh (1 Cor. 10:28). In the entertainments common in apostolic times among the Gentiles were frequent "revellings," against which Christians were warned (Rom. 13:13; Gal. 5:21; 1 Pet. 4:3). (See BANQUET.)

Release Date June 2003

Task Force Report No. 46
Burma is one of the most tightly controlled dictatorships in the world. For more than four decades, Burma's 50 million people have been oppressed by military rulers who have systematically impoverished the country's natural and human resources. The country is home to a genuine democracy movement, but it is brutally suppressed by the military government. Recognizing that democracy and the National League for Democracy (led by Aung San Suu Kyi) cannot survive in Burma without the help of the United States and the international community, this report sounds a clarion call for change.
This independent Task Force report makes smart recommendations for U.S. policy toward Burma in the areas of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law; humanitarian assistance, particularly HIV/AIDS; narcotics control; and refugees. It urges the United Nations to call for the immediate release of Aung San Suu Kyi and addresses the challenges facing the United States. Its recommendations are intended to inform U.S. government action as well as to increase U.S. cooperation with other countries to bring about a long overdue political, economic, and social transformation in Burma. "The Burmese regime has repeatedly broken its promises to begin substantive dialogue with the democratic opposition," said Task Force Chair Mathea Falco. "It is time for the UN and the international community to take action."

Well, mostly......
Here is the before:
And here is the after:
We still have to return in the Spring to fill in the cracks. But we were so excited to see it cleaned up and standing on it's own again!
Here are a few photos of the process:
First we had to remove the old adhesive from a previous repair.
Here is my cousin Dee Dee with the stone soon after the new epoxy was applied.
Waiting for the epoxy to set. It took awhile because it was COLD out!
Here, again, is the after. Once we had the stone cleaned we could see all the beautiful details on it!
Hezekiah RINEARSON was born in 1832 in Indiana. He married Susan Stephens on 16 Apr 1855 in Huntington County, IN. They had four children, one daughter, Lucinda and three sons, Solomon, Erasmus and Marshall.
Hezekiah enlisted in the 47th Indiana Infantry and fought in the Civil War. He died on 16 Aug 1863 leaving Susan a widow with four young children. Sadly, 6 months after Hezekiah's death 17 month old Marshall died. He is buried with his father in America Cemetery, La Fontaine, Indiana.

Strategy Guide Series | Teaching Writing |
Young writers need to experience sustained and successful writing. Guided writing lessons are temporary, small-group lessons teaching those strategies that a group of students most need to practice with immediate guidance from you. Guided writing lessons can be taught after a whole-class lesson once other students are actively engaged in independent writing.
Writing is learned through apprenticeships, as teachers assist students during writing using guided practice. Many students need this expert guidance in a small-group context, particularly as they attempt to bridge the gap between the teacher's demonstration and modeling and their own independent writing.
Young and poor writers have a limited control over strategies for writing. These writers do, however, learn strategic behavior for writing when these strategies are taught to them in clear and supportive ways. When authentic and targeted modeling of the ways in which writers work is presented by teachers and co-constructed with students during collaborative, rich discussion, learners develop understanding of the purposes, intrinsic motivation, and techniques of writing. Several excellent frameworks for writing instruction accomplish these goals, including modeled, shared, interactive, guided or independent writing. During guided writing instruction, in particular, students are provided with opportunities to experience successful and independent writing within the context of strong teacher support.
Guided writing is taught to small groups in briskly paced, 20-minute lessons. These groupings should be flexible, based on observation of students' current needs, and might be implemented following a whole-class writing lesson.
- Engage students in a brief, shared experience. You might read a short but fascinating section of an informational text, for example, or conduct a brief experiment.
Engage students in a rich conversation during this experience, expanding their linguistic ability for this topic.
Have students explicitly rehearse the ways in which they may decide to write about this experience.
Teach one or two specific strategies for writing.
Remember to teach strategies for all levels of writing decisions, including composing, text and sentence structures, spelling, and punctuation.
Provide brief examples or cue cards of strategies in order to support students' immediate use.
Hold brief discussions with students about how they will integrate these strategies into their own writing during today's lesson.
Provide students with time (5-10 minutes) to write at the small-group table but individually and as independently as possible.
Provide immediate individual guidance and feed forward while students write, assisting individual students in anticipation of needed reminders or assistance). Monitor students while they write and "lean in" in order to prompt and guide their thinking.
Students should experience sustained attention to writing, producing a short but complete piece of writing.
Include a brief sharing activity in which each writer's immediate work is shared with an audience. This sharing will allow each writer to experience his/her newly written text as a whole.

Every holiday should have their own cupcake. Or every cupcake should have their own holiday. One of those. In my next life I might be a cupcake blogger. I 'get' why those cupcake bloggers are incredibly popular. Cupcakes are just so darned cute, and they seem to make people happy.
My happy self chose Chocolate Cupcakes with Peppermint Icing to represent the holiday season this year.
These are a nice little chocolate cupcake with a simple, peppermint tinted icing.
Crushed candy canes are the perfect complement for the minty icing. They add a little festive color to the cakes. Use green candy canes too for additional holiday cheer.
Or place a candy cane on the icing... then your guests can choose to eat it or not. Plus, I think it looks pretty swanky with a mini-candy-cane on top.
I did a combo of both. If you don't care for the crunch of candy canes on your cupcakes, use your own edible holiday decor. Candy Cane Kisses would be extra cute too.
Big thumbs up from my little guy on these cupcakes (he's quite the experienced 7 year old taste tester, so you can trust him). Happy Birthday today to my Mom! I'm sending you a virtual cupcake for the big day (and as they say... the gift is in the mail).
This recipe can be found HERE.

What Processors are Doing to Improve Energy Management
Energy management suddenly has taken on grave importance. Read what Tyson, ConAgra, Publix and other processors are doing to reduce consumption and find altneratives.
Plants monitor BTU usage, and plant personnel use a score card to report and review energy usage at weekly plant meetings.
Publix: Small things add up
Energy consultants and utilities providers have audited the energy efficiency of Publix Super Markets' processing plants in Lakeland, Fla. Scott Charlton, senior vice president of manufacturing and distribution, notes that a lot of small conversion and maintenance measures can add up to substantial energy savings. Some of those "small" things:
- Removing cross-contamination of heat and cold and condensation within the deli plant.
- Finding areas where variable speed motors can be installed.
- Proper insulation of piping.
- Using efficient compressors and roof-top units and maintaining equipment to ensure that efficiency.
- Properly removing humidity and heat.
- Repairing leaks in compressed air lines.
- Preventive maintenance of steam traps.
- Preventive maintenance of refrigeration systems, including cleaning of coils and filters.
Three years ago, Publix launched a company-wide energy conservation program. Part of that program, which extended to both processing operations and retail stores, was the "Green Routine," a reminder to company associates of the usual, simple measures they can take to conserve energy. Those measures include turning off computer monitors and lights in meeting rooms and restrooms when the rooms are not in use.
Following Hurricane Katrina, Florida businesses were asked to reduce energy consumption. Publix reduced lighting in its 864 stores by one-third and ran signage and major media ads explaining the purpose of the temporary measures.
ConAgra: Sustainable development
The Sustainable Development program of ConAgra is entering its 15th year. The Omaha, Neb.-based food giant launched the effort as a means of finding and implementing practices that would be simultaneously good for business and the environment. In 2004, the company reported a five-year reduction in operational costs of more than $60 million.
No surprise, then, that energy-saving measures have topped its list of concerns over the past two years. In 2004, ConAgra cut its electrical usage by 24 million kwh and reduced natural gas consumption by more than 3 million therms. Such measures went a long way toward effecting the $12.7 million savings in operational costs for the year.
Energy-saving measures dominate the program's highlights. Its Grocery Foods plant in Oakdale, Calif., cut its natural gas input costs by capturing process steam and reducing overall process steam requirements (with its T-60 evaporation system). Another Grocery Foods plant, in Newport, Tenn., installed boiler economizers to capture flue gases to reduce use of electricity and natural gas. It also installed new air compressors and repaired numerous minor air leaks for additional savings.
Like Tyson and other companies with high organic product utilization, ConAgra also found abundant energy sources in the midst of its processing operations. A potato products plant in Taber, Alberta, introduced an anaerobic digestion system that produces methane gas, a low-cost and environmentally safe fuel.
ConAgra credited its Mason City, Iowa, plant with the Sustainable Development program's Best New Technology. The plant improved energy and water efficiency by adding a ham cook and chill system that uses outside storage tanks to maintain reusable process water at the right temperatures for its continuous process.
Unified effort in the Pacific Northwest
In 2002, the Northwest Food Processors Assn. (www.nwfpa.org), Portland, Ore., launched a major energy management initiative for its 486 members in California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Securing a U.S. Dept. of Energy grant and taking lessons from energy measures employed in other industries, the program seeks to "build tangible commitments to continuous improvement in energy efficiency, from fields to processing and packaging plants," says NWFPA president Dave Zepponi. Its programs and instruction have given members energy savings and productivity gains.
NWFPA has partnered with the Industrial Efficiency Alliance, an organization promoting the incorporation of energy management into business strategies. Together, the parties have worked with local utilities to enhance the energy management capabilities of member processors.
Case studies culled from its members' successes have modeled sound energy management practices and demonstrated how creative thinking and awareness of options can open doors to major savings.
Canner saves nearly $80,000
Energy engineer Rob Morton of Cascade Energy Engineering investigated the energy use of Truitt Bros., a canner located in the town of West Salem in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The primary energy hog was an ammonia-based refrigeration system built in 1971. It consisted of a 54,000-sq.-ft. freezer kept at -10ºF and an 18,000-sq.-ft. cooler kept at 32ºF.
Truitt Bros. special projects engineer Dean Pemble peers into the control center of the system that saves the company nearly $71,000 a year. |
Five compressors, cooled with a closed glycol loop, served the system. They consisted of two rotary vane booster compressors, a high-stage screw compressor and two high-stage reciprocating compressors. Compressors, condensers and evaporators were electro-mechanically controlled, each independently.

On September 11, 1985, Sri Lanka tasted victory for the first time in Test cricket. The historical moment came on home shores at the P Saravanamuttu Stadium in Colombo. Prakash Govindasreenivasan has more.
Entering the Test arena in 1982, Sri Lanka were still rookies, second best compared to their neighbours India, who began playing Test cricket in 1932, five decades before Sri Lanka did. In that sense, they were up against a stronger side. However, Sri Lanka's achievement on this day in 1985 became a defining moment and a major landmark in the history of the game in the country. It came after the team had played 13 Tests without a win. However, the events that unfolded at the Colombo stadium reduced that statistic to a mere number that would eventually fade away.
Sri Lanka hosted India for a three-match Test series, of which the first one played at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo, ended in a draw. There was just a day's gap between the end of the first Test and the start of the second. The P Saravanamuttu Stadium hosted the second Test that saw the hosts tinker with their bowling unit and give right-arm leg-break bowler Sanjeewa Weerasinghe his Test debut.
The slow start
A score of 168 for one at the end of the first day was, by all means, a slow start for the hosts. Having won the toss and electing to bat, Sri Lanka crawled their way to 16. Amal Silva and Ranjan Madugalle were at the crease when the stumps were drawn.
The second day saw the hosts lose their last six wickets for just 17 runs after Amal (111), Madugalle (54), Roy Dias (95) and skipper Duleep Mendis (51) helped the hosts go past the 300-run mark. They were bowled out for 385. They then picked up three quick wickets to leave India wobbling at six for three at the end of the second day. The visitors, however, recovered on the third day. Opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Sunil Gavaskar scored half-centuries to keep India afloat while Mohinder Amarnath was unbeaten on 48 when the day came to an end with India on 210 for six.
After a rest day in between, the two teams resumed action on Day Four which saw the Indian tail being wiped out in no time for 244. This gave the hosts a healthy first innings lead of 141 runs. When the Sri Lankans came out to bat again on the fourth day, they came with the motive of scoring at a good rate and giving their bowlers enough time to bowl out the opposition. Quick-fire knocks from Aravinda de Silva (75) Roy Dias (60 not out) saw Sri Lanka blaze away to 206 for three before Mendis decided to declare. India were set a target of 348 to get in little over three sessions. The first hurdle for the visitors was to get away unscathed at the end of the penultimate day. They did just that and finished on 16 for no-loss.
The D-Day
Rumesh Ratnayake, who picked up four wickets in the first innings, turned the match on its head, just when one thought that India would push for a draw. Ratnayake's first big wicket of the innings was that of Srikkanth. He then ripped through the Indian middle-order to cause a few concerns for the visitors. From 84 for four, India were reduced to 98 for seven and seemed to be staring at a massive defeat. The mood in the Sri Lankan camp couldn't have been better. Most of them would have fancied their chances of tasting their first Test victory for Sri Lanka on that day in Colombo.
India needed a hero and Kapil Dev stepped up. He stood tall and strong between Sri Lanka and their first Test win. His defiant display of batting began to worry the hosts and put doubts in the minds of the fans. India were surely out of the game but was Kapil on his way to an unbelievable performance that could rob the hosts of their first win? A lot of anxious spectators would have thought so. Kapil and Laxman Sivaramakrishnan added 70 runs for the eighth wicket and frustrated the Sri Lankans. If this partnership had stayed on any longer, India would have probably escaped with a miraculous draw. However, Ashantha de Mel got rid of Sivaramakrishnan to leave India with just one wicket in hand and Sri Lanka a step closer to destiny. Chetan Sharma, who is not too popular for his technique (or the lack of it) with the bat was the last man in who survived for a long period to add to Sri Lanka's frustration. Ratnayake, who had four wickets in either innings to his name till that point of the match, sealed the deal by taking a very well-judged return catch off his bowling to bring an end to Kapil's battle. India were bowled out of 198, giving Sri Lanka a massive 149-run victory.
What followed
It was truly a remarkable triumph for a team that was then considered amateur in the world of cricket. Such was the magnanimity of the win that the entire nation celebrated the event. The following day was declared as a public holiday to acknowledge the achievement. As far as the series was concerned, this win was enough for them to clinch the series, as the third and final Test match ended in a draw, giving the hosts a 1-0 victory.
Brief scores:
Sri Lanka 385 (Amal Silva 111, Roy Dias 95, Ranjan Madugalle 54; Chetan Sharma 5 for 118) and 206 for 3 decl. (Aravinda de Silva 75, Roy Dias 60) beat India 244 (Krishnamachari Srikkanth 64, Mohinder Amarnath 60, Sunil Gavaskar 52; Rumesh Ratnayake 4 for 76, Saliya Ahangama 3 for 59) and 198 (Kapil Dev 78; Rumesh Ratnayake 5 for 49, Ashantha de Mel 3 for 64) by 149 runs.

The proof is in the pudding!
Rihanna is back on her subtweeting frenzy, and her latest subtweet confirms our suspicions that RiRi didn't want to break up with Chris Brown.
DETAILS: Rihanna Defends Creeping With Chris Brown!?
Yesterday, Rihanna got into a slight Twitter tift with one of her fans, who tweeted that Rihanna was "weak" for tweeting lyrics which she believed were about Chris Brown as well.
Rihanna responded back to her disgruntled fan tweeting, "It's ignorant enough to judge, but to judge by ASSUMPTION is just…#nowordsbth."

Last night, Rihanna retweeted @The Notebook Of Love, "Just because I let you doesn't mean I wanted to."
This tweet seems perfect regarding her relationship with Chris Brown.
After her domestic violence incident in 2009, Rihanna definitely felt pressure to break up with Chris, which she seemed reluctant to do until she faced criticism from domestic violence activists and her young female fans.
Now, we're definitely not judging, but we think Rihanna may secretly still think about her first love, and that's all fine and well.
Whatever floats RiRi's red hot boat, we just want her to be happy.
